Welcome faithful followers to another prodigious podcast of the Reel Film Nerds hosted by your buddies Mysterious Mike and Matt Hinshaw.  Today the movie geeks discuss what will probably be an Academy Award winning film, A Star Is Born starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.  Matt and Mike really dive deep into this film both being not only movie aficionados but also huge music fans.  They talk about the music industry, addiction, Metallica, their home state of Arizona, and this thing called the radio that is like podcasting but through the air?

A Star Is Born is an incredible directorial debut for Bradley Cooper.  The song choice and the singing were real treats and not to be missed.  Lady Gaga did an incredible job acting.  It was almost like this role was written for her.  Bonus tip there is a documentary about Lady Gaga on Netflix called Gaga: Five Foot Two that is a nice companion piece to this film.  Mike and Matt both really enjoyed A Star Is Born.  They line up on their rating again awarding it 4 out of 5 Reels.  This movie is well worth the money so make sure to go see it in a theater.

Thanks for listening and following us on the socials. Your hosts will be back on Thursday with the final installment of this year’s Harvest Horror Fest.  They will be talking about an incredible underrated film titled Cabin in the Woods.  Have and incredible Halloween!  Now go out and catch a horror movie to end this amazing month of frights!

We have a two-fer for you today!  Exciting isn’t it?  Today your hosts discuss Halloween 2018 and the original from 1978.  The guys stay pretty much on topic discussing horror film tropes, Michael Myers as a villain, and journalism.  Was Mysterious Mike able to keep his streak going with the MCU?  You will have to tune in to find out!

Halloween 2018 is a great fresh spin on a horror classic.  Michael Myers is scary and menacing to say the least.  Jamie Lee Curtis’ take on her first starring role Laurie Strode 40 years later is incredible!  Her acting is amazing and how the writers decided to write her was even better.  Matt really enjoyed Halloween 2018 but not as much as the original or as much as Mike, of course.  He gives it 3 out of 5 Reels.  He loves the original without question.  It setup an entire generation of slasher horror films.  Matt gives the original Halloween 1978 4.5 out of 5 Reels!!  Mike really enjoyed the latest version of Halloween more than he expected.  He awards it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.  The guys both agreed that the original is still better and just an all around incredible ground breaking film.  Mike gives Halloween 1978 4.5 out of 5 Reels as well!

Thanks for listening and make sure you catch Halloween 2018 in the theaters unless you hate horror movies or the Halloween series.  It is well worth the price of admission.  We will be back on Thursday with another horror film for our month long Harvest Horror Fest when the guys talk about one of their favorites a sci-fi horror movie, Event Horizon.  Have a great week.

Salutations everyone and welcome to your first Reel Film Nerds podcast of the week!  Today your hosts talk about a film with a subject matter that is near and dear to their hearts, space exploration!  Today your hosts dive into the dramatic telling of Neil Armstrong’s life as an astronaut ending with him landing on the moon.  The guys really get going and talk a lot about this movie and everything that surrounds it including the X-15, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo missions, and the movie versus real life.

Mike and Matt both love this movie without question.  They might be bias though since they both love space exploration.  The acting is incredible by both Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy.  The film is also very well done especially the scenes on the moon.  It is tense and thrilling and keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.  The filmmakers also cover a topic rarely seen on the big screen the family of Neil Armstrong and what they go though during his time as an astronaut.  Matt and Mike both give First Man 4.5 out of 5 Reels.  Matt thinks it is one of the top movies of the year and if it is not an Academy Award contender he would be shocked.

Thanks for listening and we will chat at you on Thursday with our Harvest Horror Fest review of From Dusk Till Dawn.  P.S. Don’t forget to tell your friends and family about us but only if you like our little pod.
