Welcome to 2019 everyone!  Today your insane host’s Mysterious Mike and Matt review a movie everyone in the world has probably seen but we are reviewing it anyways, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.  Matt has a full-on nerd melt down so here’s your warning.  It is not as bad as when we review a Star Wars movie, but it is pretty dang close.  Topics today also include snow, IMAX, the Universal Monsters, and finally our podcast goals for 2019.

The guys agree Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a ground-breaking film and really should be seen by everyone.  It is like watching a comic book come to life on the big screen.  The animation is out of this world, the voice acting is incredible, and the story is just a whole lot of fun to say the least.  Matt loved this movie.  There were very very minor issues with it in his eyes just enough to drop it down a little bit from a perfect score.  He awards Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse a 4.5 out of 5 Reels.  Mike also loved this film but not as much as Matt.  He is quickly becoming a film curmudgeon, and nothing is ever good enough for one of those.  He gives the animated Spider-Man flick a respectable 4 out of 5 Reels.

Winter Movie-pocalypse 2018 comes to a head this Thursday when your hosts attempt to review not 1, not 2, but 3, yes 3 movies in one podcast!  The 3 films in reviewed order are Bumblebee, Welcome to Marwen, and Vice.  We hope you are enjoying our attempt to watch every movie this holiday season and that our reviews are helping you to make the right choice on what to spend your money on.  Chat with you on Thursday with our first Triple Feature!

Merry almost Christmas everyone!  Today we have a review of a movie you should never see, Mortal Engines.  The guys don’t mess around and just get right into it with this review, this is a bad movie.  Topics today included the Mars TV show, Steve Carell, and Mike taking notes again.

Mortal Engines is just a terrible movie.  The only redeeming part is the visual effects and the first 30 minutes that actually has a predator city chasing down another city.  Seriously that’s it in a movie based on predator cities one damn chase scene!  There is no character development at all.  The script poorly written, it comes off as a third movie in a trilogy when it’s the start of a new franchise?  Mortal Engines also rips off so many sci-fi and fantasy films including Star Wars that we lost count.  Mike flat out blasted this movie.  He really tore it apart more than usual.  He graciously gives Mortal Engines ½ a Reel out of 5.  Matt was very disappointed by this film.  He had very high hopes for it because it appears to be a very cool and fun world to tell stories in.  This first attempt failed miserably though.  He gives the film a more lenient score with 1.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week the guys keep the reviews coming!  They are both out watching as many of the new films hitting the theaters as possible.  Reviews next week include the critically acclaimed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Robert Zemeckis’ Welcome to Marwen but they might toss in a few quick reviews to let you know what to see over your holiday break.  Chat with all of you next week and we hope you get lots of awesome movies for Christmas!

Morning everyone and welcome to another episode of the Reel Film Nerds podcast!  Winter Movie-pocalypse 2018 is upon us and your hosts start it out with Clint Eastwood’s latest masterwork The Mule (2018).  Mysterious Mike and Mean Matt do get off topic a bit in this pod, but it is hard to talk about Clint Eastwood and not about Westerns.  Topics today include That’s What She Said, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Deadwood.

The Mule (2018) is another stellar film from one of our acting and directing greats.  The casting is spot on, the story is incredible, and Clint Eastwood’s performance is one for the books.  Mike loved The Mule (2018) and thinks everyone should watch it but seeing it in the theater is not a must.  Matt agrees it was an incredible film, but he compares it to some of Eastwood’s other great films and feels it falls a tiny bit short of them.  They both award The Mule (2018) with 4 out of 5 Reels.

This Thursday the guys continue Winter Movie-pocalypse 2018 with another new podcast review of a film that was released this past weekend, Mortal Engines.  Spoiler Alert for the podcast and the movie, it is crap!  Seriously don’t see this film but do listen to our podcast.  Mike comes out of his shell a bit and just tears this movie apart.  Chat with you on Thursday!
