Episode #130: Ready or Not

Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike what day is it Mike?  HUMP DAY!  Hello fellow nerds and movie buffs and welcome to the continuing saga that is the Reel Film Nerds podcast!  Today Mike (see get the joke reference now?) Talent and Matt review the new horror thriller mystery comedy Ready or Not.  Our way too many bonus topics mostly brought up by Matt include a Gateway to Geekdom recap, death of 20th Century Fox movie productions, and do movie trailers give away too much of the film?

Ready or Not is a fun horror comedy that knows exactly what it is and is not afraid to show it.  Samara Weaving does an incredible job as a bride whose wedding night goes terribly wrong!  She also has one of the best blood curdling screams Matt has heard in a long time.  Mike thought the trailer showed too many pivotal moments of the film. Overall your two hosts really enjoyed the film and agree if you are a horror movie or comedy buff don’t skip this one.  Mr. Talent gives Ready or Not a respectable 3 out of 5 Reels.  Matt on the other hand gives it the rating the film truly deserves a 4 out of 5 Reels.       

Next week, yes next week, we are currently on our weekly podcast schedule, Matt and Mike will finally review Good Boys.  If the guys can get two reviews in they are going to start working their way through the many listener requests, since the summer movie season is coming to a close.  The first film picked from the request hat will be 1993’s Demolition Man starring Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes.  Thanks everybody for tuning in to another pod and we will chat at you next week.

Episode #129: Tributary – Revenger

So we are back on our not regular schedule but we did do some podcasting this week!  Regretfully though Mike Talent slacked off and didn’t make it to the theater so we finally get to do our Tributary review of the South Korean film hosted on Netflix called Revenger.  Can you guess what it’s about, if you said revenge you are right!  Moonlighting topics this week include Josh Brolin, Mike might have revenge issues, and the upcoming Prescott Gateway Mall event Gateway to Geekdom.

Revenger is a great martial arts action film with a forgettable story.  It is not an awful story but it is nothing special. The film starts out with a bang, fizzles a bit, and finishes strong.  The action, oh man the action! The fight scenes and choreography are just incredible! One thing that Mike Talent wasn’t a fan of was how the actors switched between Korean and English in a handful of scenes.  Matt personally thinks it was a mistake that was not caught before the final edit. Mike Talent also was not a big fan of the story in this film and has seen many many revenge films better than this one. He gives Revenger 2 out of 5 Reels.  Matt thought it was just average.  He agrees the story was nothing special but the fight scenes were amazing.  They took him back to the martial arts films he grew up watching. Matt gives the movie 3 out of 5 Reels.

Next week hopefully Mike will go to the movie theater so we can discuss the new Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg produced Good Boys.  If we can get two reviews done the second film that Matt will definitely see and hopefully Mike will too is Ready or Not.  A dark thriller hide and go seek game for a new bride involving her in-laws.  Thanks for tuning in and supporting the show see you at Gateway to Geekdom on Saturday!
