So Mike slacked off this week and did not do his homework so we will not be reviewing Mile 22, yet.  He only made it to BlacKkKlansman.  Matt did his homework so for once it is not his fault!  Instead we bring you an incredible Legacy cast indie film that launched Kevin Smith’s career into the stratosphere, Clerks.  As you already know if you are still listening to our podcast after 40 episodes we get off topic a lot.  Here is the short list of things we talk about today.  Russell Crowe’s codpiece from Cinderella Man, Mike’s high school nickname, the acceptance of nerd culture, Blockbuster, Sprouts grocery stores (seriously), Star Wars, of course, and lastly the Reel Film Nerds upcoming October horror movie fest!  Sit back relax crack open your favorite brew and enjoy the show unless you are at work then just get back to work you slacker!

Matt loves Clerks a ton.  It has incredible writing and dialogue with solid cinematography but really rough acting.  Hey it is an indie and Kevin Smith basically used all of his friends and family as actors.  They did a bang up job though.  He gives Clerks 4.5 out of 5 Reels.  Mike loves Clerks as well but not as much as Matt.  Maybe it is the high school nickname he earned related to this film or maybe he is just harsh.  Mike gives Clerks a respectable 4 out of 5 Reels.

Stay tuned for next week’s episodes when we review Mark Wahlberg’s latest action flick Mile 22 (maybe?) and the raunchy yet hilarious puppet caper The Happy Time Murders starring Melissa McCarthy.  Thanks for listening and chat at you Tuesday!

Storyline from IMDB

Dante Hicks is not having a good day. He works as a clerk in a small convenience store and is told to come into work on his day off. Dante thinks life is a series of down endings and this day is proving to no different. He reads in the newspaper that his ex-girlfriend Caitlin is getting married. His present girlfriend reveals to have somewhat more experience with sex that he ever imagined. His principal concerns are the hockey game he has that afternoon and the wake for a friend who died. His buddy Randal Graves works as a clerk in the video store next and he hates his job just about as much as Dante hates his.

Hello boys and girls and welcome to another Legacy cast!  Today your hosts Mysterious Mike and Matt Hinshaw talk about a beloved childhood action film Universal Soldier.  The guys loved this movie a ton when they were kids, today in their 30’s not so much.  They also discuss the many northern Arizona locations it was filmed at and why the many more recent films based in AZ are not filmed there but in New Mexico.  Matt gets lost in the internet while researching an aircraft featured in the film called the Super Guppy.  Lesson learned don’t pod and internet!  There is lots of fun Universal Soldier trivia discussed by both hosts and even the discovery of multiple sequels neither of them knew existed.  This is a Legacy Cast for the ages!

Matt and Mike both were disappointed re-watching this film.  It does not stand the test of time.  The acting is very bad and the movie comes across as flat out cheesy.  The guys both give Universal Soldier 2 Reels out of 5.  Next week the guys will be reviewing the summer blockbuster shark movie The Meg and their second Tributary Cast the Netflix Original movie Mute.  Chat with you next week!

Thank you for tuning in and listening to our little pod. What do you think about the guys starting a Patreon or getting some advertising to help support their movie going habits? Email us and let us know if it is a good or bad idea. Nerds@ReelFilmNerds.com
