Episode #190: Tributary – Get Duked!

Sick and tired of politics yet? GREAT! Why not sit down and laugh while listening to the Talent-less Mike of Mystery and Matt review the Amazon Original Get Duked! Better topics than this movie include Prescott Valley professional sports, The Boys TV show, and our Third Annual Harvest Horror Fest!

Well this is awkward, maybe not awkward but it has been a long time since Mike and Matt didn’t agree at least a little bit on a film. Mike Talent really enjoyed Get Duked! Matt on the other hand really hated this film and felt he wasted his time. This is not necessarily a bad film but it is definitely not for everyone. It is a hip-hop manhunt drug comedy that takes place in the Scottish Highlands. There are some very funny parts and the scenery is beautiful. The acting was decent from our four leads who are unknown here in the United States.

Mike really enjoyed Get Duked! and did not have any issues with the thick Scottish accents. He graciously awards the film 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt on the complete opposite side of the coin disliked the Amazon Original and thinks you should skip it. He awards the film 1.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week is the start of Mike’s favorite time of the year, our Third Annual Harvest Horror Fest! For our new listeners we review nothing but horror films for the month of October. Our first horror flick picked by Mike is 1993’s Leprechaun starring Warwick Davis and Jennifer Aniston. If you would like to watch it with us it is currently streaming on HBO and HBO Max. Thanks for hanging out and listening to our little pod. We will chat at you next week!

Lastly we are on all things social such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Please join our Facebook Fan Group so you can have a safe space to yell at Mike and Matt from the comfort of your keyboard while talking about films too. Go watch as many movies as you can!

Episode #178: Tributary – 7500

Welcome to another incredible Reel Film Nerds podcast about a movie that is not in a theater, again. Today the boys review an Amazon Original film starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 7500. Bonus topics for this episode include Kirby T’s, Uber Eats, and piloting an airplane.

Wow what a movie out of left field! Seriously no one saw this coming including Mike and he picked it! 7500 is a really great film taking place almost entirely in a jumbo jet’s hijacked cockpit. It is very reminiscent of a one man play except with a few more actors. Joseph Gordon-Levitt makes this film. He carries it almost completely on his own. The story is not perfect but it has twists and turns always keeping you guessing. Mike and Matt both really enjoyed 7500 but like most of the time Matt is more giving on his rating. He awards the airplane hijacking thriller 4 out of 5 Reels. Mike is close with a competitive 3.5 out of 5 Reels.     

Are you looking for another comedy to watch to help lift your spirits that is inspired by Groundhog Day?  Yes? So are we! That’s why next week we watch the Hulu Original Film Palm Springs starring Andy Samberg and  Cristin Milioti. Thanks for listening to our latest podcast, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Chat at you next week!
