Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to your first Reel Film Nerds pod of the week!  Today your host’s Matt and Mike discuss Jennifer Garner’s return to the silver screen, Peppermint.  Peppermint is your classic revenge story littered with tons of action scenes.  Your hosts stick to the review at hand for the most part.  Mike actually went off on a pretty solid tangent about Liam Neeson and his legacy of Taken films.  Amazing, it was not Matt for once!  Of course, he brought up Star Wars again but just for a little bit.  Mike and Matt also discuss other revenge films they really enjoy like Man on Fire.  For those of you looking for a discussion on Moviepass sorry.  Maybe Mike will get Matt going on the next pod.

Mike and Matt both were not super impressed with this movie, but they did not think it was terrible either.  It was just an average film.  The acting was decent, the action was well done, the story is not great and has been repeated throughout cinema many times over, but it is not horrible either.  Mike gives Peppermint 3 out of 5 Reels.  Matt enjoyed the film as well but did have some issues with it especially how they ended it.  He gives it 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

Coming up on Thursday is an incredible Legacy cast, Ghostbusters!!!  No not the 2016 remake the original from 1984!  Matt is super excited to talk about it and so is Mike.  It is going to be a fun one.  Thanks for listening and chat at you then!

Hello fellow movie nerds and welcome to another incredible episode of the Reel Film Nerds podcast!  Today we talk about a very serious and incredible drama based on a true story, Operation Finale starring Sir Ben Kinglsey and Oscar Isaac.  The film is based on the hunting down and capture of escaped Holocaust mastermind Adolph Eichmann.  Your hosts do stray off topic a bit especially Matt like always but they do their best to steer the review back on course.  The guys talk about why history is important, college, and World War 2 based movies The Darkest Hour and Dunkirk.  This is one of the more serious podcasts the guys have done but it is a very serious film on an incredible true story.

Mike and Matt both loved this movie and highly recommend you see it even if you can’t make it to the local movie theater and have to watch it later when it comes out on Blu-ray or Netflix.  It is incredibly impactful and well acted by the majority of the cast, sorry Nick Kroll you sucked.  Matt and Mike both give the film 4 out of 5 Reels.

This Thursday Matt and Mike review a film that is basically the exact opposite of Operation Finale.  The hosts review a cult classic drug riddle story based around the book and life of famed journalist Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas starring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro.  Talk at you Thursday.  Don’t forget we are still looking for suggestions for Episode #50 which is coming up real fast.  Email us your thoughts on what we should do for this upcoming milestone episode.

Mike loved the murder mystery set in a world where humans and puppets co-exist.  There were a few scenes he loved more than others but genuinely enjoyed this film.  He gives The Happytime Murders 3 out of 5 Reels.  The Awesome Matt did not like this movie as much as Mike in fact he did not like it at all well there were a few really funny scenes. Maybe the trailer ruined it for him.  Matt gives The Happytime Murders 2 our 5 Reels.

Hi everybody! Today your hosts review Marky Mark’s latest action thriller Mile 22.  It is a solid action film with a bad and over used storyline.  The biggest shining light is Iko Uwais’ martial arts stunts.  It is very reminiscent of the older martial arts films and is just a joy to watch.  The guys pretty much stay on topic except Mike does bring up Moviepass and surprise, Matt actually used it to see Mile 22!  YEAH!!!  Using a service, he has paid for is a great thing.

For the most part Mysterious Mike enjoyed the film.  The story was not great, but he loved the action sequences and his boy Mark Wahlberg.  He gives Mile 22 3 out of 5 Reels.  Matt was not a fan of this film.  He did enjoy the acting especially by his sweetheart Lauren Cohan (what is wrong with this guy does he love every girl he sees on the big screen, man he needs a girlfriend!) and thought Iko Uwais was amazing!  He was disappointed that John Malkovich did not have a bigger role and spent the entire movie talking into a microphone.  He gives it 2 out of 5 Reels.

Thank you for liking, subscribing, rating, reviewing, and telling your friends about our podcast.  The guys will be back with Episode #43 on Thursday reviewing a puppet movie, not one for the kids though, The Happytime Murders.
