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.

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.

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.

Episode #65: Tributary – Outlaw King

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  We hope you are out catching a movie today.  Nothing better to do on a holiday then spend it with friends and family at the movie theater.  Today your hosts discuss a film that is not in a movie theater and you can watch it right now on Netflix the kinda sorta sequel to Braveheart titled Outlaw King.  Matt apologizes way ahead of time, but he really gets off topic bad talking about tablets and watching movies on airplanes.  Mysterious Mike joined in forgetting to stop him being off topic.  If you are interested in tech and tablets listen, if not feel free to fast forward.

Outlaw King is an amazing film with great cinematography and incredible makeup!  The stunts and gore are so good that some scenes will haunt you well after you finish watching the film.  The acting is superb especially from Chris Pine and new comer Rebecca Robin.  The sets wow they are incredible!  Mike really loved this film he thinks everyone should go watch it except the little ones.  It is a bit much for them.  He gives it 4 out of 5 Reels.  Matt enjoyed Outlaw King as well just not as much as Mike.  He agrees that it is well worth the 2-hour runtime.  Matt gives the Netflix original 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

Episode #64: Overlord

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Don’t fret it is a great Tuesday because 1.) RFN has an awesome new pod out and 2.) It is a short week thanks to national football and turkey day!!!  Today the boys chat about a zombie Nazi horror World War II movie that should have come out before Halloween, Overlord.  Conversation includes Wolfenstein 3D, other WW2 movies that are actually good, zombies or lack thereof, and the incredible thought-provoking comic book Über published by Avatar Press.

Overlord starts out really strong with some amazing WW2 C-47 and paratrooper scenes quickly falling apart afterwards.  The makeup is incredible, the acting is lackluster well Matt thinks so, and the story is just plain awful.  This film is clearly a rip-off of the hugely successful Wolfenstein video game franchise but fails to be as fun or as great of a story.  There are also a ton of WW2 movie stereotypes especially the characters.  It is weird having to write WW2 stereotypes, but they are quickly starting to develop in the entertainment world.

Matt really was not a huge fan of Overlord other than the beginning scenes.  Maybe he built it up too much in his head or maybe the successful Nazi zombie franchises in existence make this one look terrible.  He gives the movie 2 out of 5 Reels.  Mysterious Mike agreed with Matt and is not a huge fan of this film.  He is still a huge fan of horror and maybe that effected his rating.  Mike gives Overlord 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

Thanks for tuning in for another episode of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast!  Do us a favor and tell your friends.  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 be back on Thanksgiving with our first Tributary since August, the Netflix original movie starring Chris Pine, Outlaw King AKA the sequel to Braveheart, kind of.  Chat at you Thursday!

Director: Julius Avery

Writers: Billy Ray and Mark L. Smith

Stars: Jovan Adepo, Wyatt Russell, Mathilde OllivierPilou Asbæk, and Iain De Caestecker

Release Date: November 9, 2018

Storyline from IMDB

On the eve of D-Day, the 5th of June, 1944, several American paratroopers are dropped behind enemy lines to carry out a mission crucial to the invasion’s success: destroy a radio tower built in a little castle of an old French town that the Third Reich uses for communication between Berlin and Normandy beaches’ bunkers. Due to the intense enemy fire, the planes are shot down and most soldiers die in the landing or are killed by the Nazis’ night patrols after they taking land. However, a private named Ed Boyce survives to find Corporal Ford, a last-minute incorporation from Italy and a veteran expert in bombs and explosives, rogue sniper Tibbet, war photographer Chase, and finally private Dawson. After they watch the killing of their superior Sargeant Eldson by a Nazi night patrol, Ford turns in the leader of the group and they try to get the town with the tower in order to complete the mission. In the forest close to the town, almost arriving to it, they meet Chloe, a villager who assists the soldiers in her home with her elderly aunt and little brother Paul. But the mission gets complicated when by accident Boyce ends up inside the Nazi radio tower, only to find horrible secret experiments with human beings that could empower a victory for Hitler and would change the fate of the world forever. With D-Day approaching, Boyce and the others begin to realize there is more going on in this Nazi-occupied village than a simple military operation. They not only have to fight against soldiers to destroy the radio tower, but also against the results of the experiments to turn the entire place to ruins. All this before dawn and Hitler gets his Third Reich of a thousand years that he promised.
