Episode #70: Legacy – Unsane

Hello there and welcome another new RFN podcast.  We can’t quit you!  Today our hosts review a film from earlier this year that was not in the theaters long, Unsane.  Today’s review was requested from one of our faithful listeners, Patrick!  Thanks, Pat, for your support and keep listening and requesting.  Mysterious Mike and Matt stay on point for once with this movie.  Extracurricular topics include iPhones, The Girl in the Spider’s Web book and movie, and the importance of story in a film.

Unsane is a phycological thriller with great acting, an amazing story, and believe it or not the film was shot on a damn iPhone!  This one never lets up and constantly has you questioning who is the sane and who is not until the very end of the movie.  Matt really enjoyed this film but had a few little complaints here and there but nothing major.  He gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.  Mike too really enjoyed this film but is almost always harsher than Matt when it comes to his ratings.  He gives Unsane 3 Reels out of 5.  Basically, they both agree this is a must-see film especially if you have Amazon Prime where you can currently stream it.

Thanks for tuning in for another episode of two nerds talking about movies.  Please do us a favor and tell your friends about the RFN podcast.  Don’t forget to subscribe and listen to our sister podcasts Rogues Radio, Code 3 Podcast, The Blue Milk Podcast, and The Mile High Show.

Thursday the guys try to review Fred Clause which quickly turns into a discussion about Christmas movies and the Kevin Spacey controversy.  It is a very thought-provoking discussion, but the movie review gets overlooked at times.  Take a listen you will enjoy it, we did.  Chat with you on Thursday.

Episode #69: Legacy – Hackers

Wow do we have a special podcast for you today, well it’s special to Mysterious Mike and Amazing Matt.  Today your two hosts discuss a film that basically changed their lives, Hackers.  This film helped fuel them to the careers they now have and their deep passions for technology.  The gents do talk about the movie but not as much as they should have.  The talk mainly focuses on how Hackers helped influence Mike’s decision to go into computer programming, public pay phones, and online gaming over dial up, yes you read that right youngsters dial up online gaming!

Hackers is an amazing movie, Matt and Mike are biased as hell though.  When you watch it today with all our technological advances it comes off extremely cheesy.  It’s a 90’s movie through and through from the rollerblades, to the EDM soundtrack, to the chain wallets.  If you grew up in the 90’s like your hosts did this movie will take you back there. Just a friendly reminder that your hosts are super biased in favor of this film, they love it to death!  Mike and Matt give Hackers 4 out of 5 Reels.  Their freshman high school selves would have given it 5 out of 5 Reels in the 90’s but it’s not the 90’s anymore.

Thanks for tuning in for an amazing Legacy Cast of Hackers.  Your hosts really had a blast recording it even if you don’t like listening to it.  Please do us a favor and tell your friends about the RFN podcast.  Don’t forget to subscribe and listen to our sister podcasts Rogues Radio, Code 3 Podcast, The Blue Milk Podcast, and The Mile High Show.  We return next week with two more movie reviews and one will be a Christmas movie.  Tis the season, right?  Have an amazing weekend and we will yack at ya on Tuesday.

Episode #68: Ralph Breaks the Internet

Howdy friends and welcome back to another amazing movie review by your two blabbermouths Mysterious Mike and Annoying Matt.  Today your hosts discuss Disney’s latest animated feature Ralph Breaks the Internet.  Topics this episode include Matt being a loner, relationship sacrifices, Star Wars, and the millions of movies coming to theaters in December.

Ralph Breaks the Internet is a very fun entertaining movie that is probably not the best for kids.  There are tons of jokes and internet references that might be over most kids’ heads.  The animation is stellar as always and the voice acting is just as good.  There were some parts of the story that could have been left out though.  They were just not needed and made the film longer than it needed to be.  Matt enjoyed Ralph Breaks the Internet but felt it was just average.  There were some amazing parts but overall this movie was nothing special to him.  He gives it 3 out of 5 Reels.  Mike also enjoyed the film but thought it could have been better too.  He loved the many Internet references and the ripping of Disney.  He also gives the movie a respectable 3 out of 5 Reels.

Thanks for tuning in for another epic sode of the Reel Film Nerds podcast!  Do us a favor and tell your friends and spread the love!  Don’t forget to subscribe and listen to our sister podcasts Rogues Radio, Code 3 Podcast, The Blue Milk Podcast, and The Mile High Show.  We will return Thursday morning with a new review of a film that greatly impacted your two hosts lives, Hackers.  They do talk about the film on Thursday but not much.  It is mainly discussion about tech and their childhood together.  See you on Thursday!!

Episode #67: Widows

Namaste everybody and welcome to your second RFN pod of the week!  Today your hosts review Widows a slow burn Chicago based heist movie from director Steve McQueen starring Viola DavisMichelle Rodriguez, and Elizabeth Debicki.  Mike does his best to keep Matt on topic and pretty much succeeds.  Topics this episode go like this Matt hates Christmas, Mike is Matt’s brother at least in spirit, the trailer and marketing screwed this movie, and Mike’s MCU tie-in streak continues!!!

Widows is a long drawn out movie that needs to spend a bit more time in the editing bay.  The character development is great and maybe even over done.  How much development do we really need on so many side characters?  The acting was incredible especially from the three main actresses.  Mike really enjoyed Widows and thinks it is worth the trip to the theater.  He awards it 3 out of 5 Reels.  Matt was not a huge fan of the film.  He thought it was boring especially the first two acts.  He loved the acting and the story as whole but still thinks it is just an average film.  He also gives Widows 3 out of 5 Reels.

Thanks for your continued support of our podcast.  Without you our listeners, this podcast would not exist, seriously.  Anyways do us a favor and tell your friends and family about our fun little pod especially if you hate it!  Don’t forget to subscribe and listen to our sister podcasts Rogues RadioCode 3 PodcastThe Blue Milk Podcast, and The Mile High Show.  Next week the guys review Disney’s latest animated film Ralph Breaks the Internet and a near and dear cult classic that you probably have never heard of Hackers.  Talk with you on Tuesday!

Episode #66: Green Book

Welcome back kids for an amazing new episode!  Today your hosts Mysterious Mike and Matt chat about a probable movie of the year, Green Book starring Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen.  The guys really love this movie and cannot emphasize it enough.  It really is a must see film.  The hosts stay on topic most of the time, Matt talks about what the green book historically is and he has a neat little surprise for Mike and you, our listeners.

Green Book is just an amazing feel good film.  If it does not get nominated for a dozen Academy Awards we would be shocked.  It is a true story co-written by the son of one of the main characters.  This film does take place during a very dark time in the US’ history but it is a story that needs to be told.  The main reason history is taught throughout school is to learn from its mistakes and try not to make them again.  The acting is incredible, the story is fantastic, and the sets are beautiful.  This movie is the complete package and Mike and Matt agree they both give the Green Book 4.5 out of 5 Reels.  Maybe they need to cut back on talking to each other if their ratings keep lining up.

Thanks for tuning in for another episode of the Reel Film Nerds podcast!  Do us a favor and tell your friends, spread the love!  Don’t forget to subscribe and listen to our sister podcasts Rogues RadioCode 3 PodcastThe Blue Milk Podcast, and The Mile High Show.  Matt and Mike will return this Thursday with their review of Widows, chat at you then!
