Episode #81: Glass

By Matt on Tuesday, January 22, 2019

Well what do we have here another Tuesday? You know what that means it’s time for a new Reel Film Nerds podcast for your listening pleasure! Today your hosts talk about the latest M. Night Shyamalan flick, Glass. Matt really starts the pod out off topic, sorry, we will work on reining him in on Thursday. The copious off topics include the new Fyre Festival documentaries, Punisher Season 2, and Matt guest stars on The Mile High Show Episode #199 and The Blue Milk Podcast’s upcoming Episode 66 about the Sith!

Mike and Mat are extremely confused about Glass. They do not understand why the critics hate this film. It is not the best M. Night Shyamalan movie but it is definitely not his worst. James McAvoy’s acting is out of this world! Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis do a great job as well especially during some nonverbal scenes. The soundtrack is good and the cinematography is great except for a couple of times where it looked like they used a GoPro. Your hosts both really enjoyed the movie but it is not a must see in the theaters unless you want to go to the movies because there really is not much out right now. Mike gives Glass a respectable 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt enjoyed the film just a hair more than Mike; he gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

This Thursday the guys will finally get around to reviewing You Were Never Really Here. If you want to watch it before the review on Thursday it is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. Chat at you then.

Episodes Legacy

Episode #80: Legacy – Clyde Cooper

By Matt on Thursday, January 17, 2019

Good day everyone! Today Matt and Mysterious Mike have a real treat for you. They received their first ever screener!! Exciting right? It is for us! The film the guys are chatting about is titled Clyde Cooper. It is a detective film noir murder mystery B movie that takes place in Silicon Valley. Off topics for this episode include the Micro Machine guy, power hour, and vaping.

Clyde Cooper is an interesting story but a rough execution. The writing is really bad and flat out doesn’t make sense at times. The acting really could have been a lot better. Some of the camera angles and shooting styles that were chosen to tell the story did not work. The opening of the film is very strange and could have been completely left out or explained more. This film just left your hosts wanting more. It feels rushed and really could have been entertaining if it was executed right. Mysterious Mike gives Clyde Cooper 1 out 5 Reels. Matt is a little more generous as always because he did enjoy the story as a whole. The premise intrigued him. He gives the film 1.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week your hosts return with a review of Glass the highly anticipated sequel to Unbreakable and Split. Let’s hope all the critics are wrong and that Glass is a good movie. We will let you know Tuesday. Our second pod of the week on Thursday, the guys will finally get around to reviewing You Were Never Really Here after talking about it for over a week. If you have Amazon Prime it is streaming there right now. Watch it along with us. Thanks for listening and we will chat at you next week.

Episodes

Episode #79: Replicas

By Matt on Tuesday, January 15, 2019

Happy Tuesday everyone, literally it’s one of the worst days of the week. Yes everyone says it’s Monday but we all know it is really Tuesday except for the tacos. Today your two co-hosts review Keanu Reeves first craptastic film of 2019, Replicas. Serious Keanu just stick with John Wick those films are incredible. Bonus topics this week include Altered Carbon, movie critics suck, and Matt has a case of the Monday’s.

Replicas is just an all around bad movie. The acting was terrible, they tried to cram too many stories into an hour and 47 minute film, oh and did I mention the acting was terrible, yes?, just wanted to make sure. If you love sci-fi, cloning, and a dystopian future just go watch the Netflix TV show Altered Carbon. It is similar to Replicas in a lot of ways but a hell of a lot better. Matt and Mike cannot recommend anyone to go see this film. It’s just bad. They both graciously give it 2 out of 5 Reels.

Coming up on Thursday the guys received their very first screener from a movie studio, Clyde Cooper. It is a film noir crime drama based in Silicon Valley dealing with tech and deception. If you are interested in watching it before Thursday it is available on Amazon to buy or rent. Have a good week and chat at you then!

Episodes Tributary

Episode #78: Tributary – Bird Box

By Matt on Thursday, January 10, 2019

Hi everybody! Welcome back to the Reel Film Nerds Podcast! Today Matt’s backup mic is working great! Overtime even because it literally picks up every sound in the room. Today Mysterious Mike and Matt bring you a new Tributary cast with their review of Bird Box. Off topic topics include a new segment what are you drinking, The Walking Dead, lack of time in our lives, and lastly the first RFN awards show!

Bird Box is basically a mash up between A Quiet Place (RFN Episode #10) and The Happening. It is an incredible thrill ride from start to finish. The acting is incredible especially by Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich but honestly when do they not shine? The story is very good, and the sets look great. I think this is starting to become an issue, but both of your hosts agree Bird Box has a great showing for Mike and an average showing for Matt with 3.5 out of 5 Reels! This is a must see sci-fi thriller even if you do not have Netflix. Just steal a friend or co-workers login and watch it.

Next week the guys plan on watching the new Keanu Reeves film Replicas and either Bomb City or You Were Never Really Here. Both are currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Thanks for your continued support of our podcast. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoy recording it! Chat with you next Tuesday!

Episodes

Episode #77: Aquaman

By Matt on Tuesday, January 8, 2019

Hi everybody and welcome to another craptastic Reel Film Nerds podcast! Hey its been a long time since we had a truly craptastic episode and it’s all Matt’s fault! He had some serious recording issues this episode, so his audio is hot garbage. Mysterious Mike sounds great so only have the podcast is craptastic? Back on point, something broke in his mic and he did not know it so if you skip this pod we understand just don’t skip seeing Aquaman in the theaters. The guys still had fun and got off topic probably too much while talking about Aquaman. Extracurricular topics include The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Disney taking over the world, Star Wars of course, and Marvel versus DC.

Both of your hosts loved Aquaman. It is a fun cheesy movie with gobs of action and incredible visuals. This is what superhero movies are supposed to be. Not all of them must be extremely serious and grounded. Having one be an amazing popcorn action flick where the actors had tons of fun making it is refreshing. Mysterious Mike and Matt agree Aquaman is a must see in theaters basically because it is just so darn pretty! They both give the film 4 out of 5 Reels!

This Thursday the guys talk about the Netflix movie that is exploding across the Internets, Bird Box. They attempt to understand why it is so popular and even sparking Internet challenges. Chat at you on Thursday where we promise the audio won’t sound like crap, well less crap Matt is still co-hosting the podcast for now.
