Hump day is here and you know what that means, a brand new podcast for your ear holes! Today Mike and Matt chat about The Woman King starring Viola Davis, Thuso Mbedu, and Lashana Lynch. Additional topics today include a new movie giveaway, PSL beer, and the 5th Annual Harvest Horror Fest starts next week!

There is a ton of controversy surrounding this film. Your hosts touch on it a bit during the podcast but not a lot. We are here to talk about the movie itself, have fun, and joke around a bit. The Woman King is a great film. There are a lot of inaccuracies but it is a film not a documentary. The filmmakers chose to take liberties with their story and it is a very good story. The Woman King is almost the complete package. Great acting, amazing sets, incredible costumes, and a wonderful story. It is honestly difficult to make a better film. Mike and Matt both agree this is a must see film especially if you can make it to the theaters. They both award The Woman King 4 out of 5 Reels.

Next week is the start of our 5th annual Harvest Horror Fest! Mike’s favorite time of year because he gets to pick all of the movies! Our first review will be the 1982 classic Poltergeist in honor of its 40th anniversary. Lastly don’t forget to check out the Prescott Film Festival this week and our last pod chatting Helen Stephenson the Director of the festival. Thanks for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Happy Friday everyone? Yes that’s right you lucky listeners get two pods in one week! Today we have a really special edition of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast. Matt sits down with Matt (no he did not clone himself, or did he?) to interview and chat with Helen Stephenson, the Director of the Yavapai College Film and Media Arts Program and the Executive Director of the Prescott Film Festival.

Mr. The Mile High Show, Matt Santos, and your regularly scheduled host Matt Hinshaw ask Helen all kinds of questions mostly about film. Eventually they do get on the topic of the 12th Annual Prescott Film Festival and why you should attend. It is not a typical pod for us but it is a really fun informative pod discussing all kinds of aspects of film, Prescott, and making films in Arizona. Come on out and check out the Prescott Film Festival if you are in the area. There will be screenings, workshops, and socializing events galore. For more information on the Prescott Film Festival visit prescottfilmfestival.com

For next week’s pod Mike and Matt head to the theaters to check out a film that is tearing up the box office, The Woman King starring Viola Davis and John Boyega. You can download our review next Wednesday wherever podcasts are found.  Thanks for listening and we will chat with you next week!

 

Watch The Long Rider trailer below.

One of the many films featured at this year’s Prescott Film Festival.

We did it everyone! Matt and Mike returned to the theaters to catch a new movie. See How They Run is a meta murder mystery starring Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan. Bonus topics include Spaceballs, iPhone 14, and Nick Cage.

Boy does it feel good to get back to the theaters. See How They Run wasn’t the best welcome home film to watch but it wasn’t terrible either. See How They Run is a murder mystery comedy that takes place in 1950’s London. This film is a lot of fun and quite confusing at times. It’s a murder mystery inside a play about a murder mystery play that’s being turn into a film. Got all that? Ya we didn’t either. Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan are excellent and have a huge support cast that builds their character arcs. The cinematography is one of the single best elements of See How They Run other than the twist and turn story. 

See How They Run is not a run out and watch film but it is worth a watch when it is available at home. Mike really enjoyed himself and awarded the film 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt thought the movie was great but really wanted more comedy. He awards it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.  

For next week’s pod we have a double header! Matt sit’s down and chats with the Prescott Film Festival Director Helen Stephenson about the festival’s upcoming 12th year. Mike and Matt also head to the theaters to check out a film that is tearing up the box office, The Woman King starring Viola Davis and John Boyega.  Thanks for listening and we will chat with you next week!
