Wow, March is moving by quickly! This week Mike, Matt, and Ma Hinshaw chat about a recent Academy Award winning film RRR currently streaming on Netflix. Additional topics include Happy Birthday Mike, the British Empire was ruthless, and to dub or not to dub.

Matt has been wanting to watch this film since he found out about late last summer. He just wanted to wait to review it with Mike for this pod and man he was not disappointed. RRR is an incredible film! Excellent story, amazing action, and very very good acting. RRR is extremely loosely based on real revolutionaries and real events but it is a fictional retelling, almost a What If type story.

The stunts and action are some of the best we have ever seen. Yes they are very unrealistic at times and down right over the top but man are they cool to watch. The cinematography was excellent. It’s lit so perfectly and shot so well that it’s almost distracting. Mike, Ma, and Matt all agree RRR is a must see film!

Mike with the highest rating gives RRR 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt and Ma on the other hand both award it 4 out of 5 Reels and Oatmeal cookies.

For next week’s pod we head to theaters to catch Keanu Reeves latest installment of the infamous John Wick series, John Wick: Chapter 4!! Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Hello fellow movie buffs and listeners both new and old. Is anyone else really missing movie theaters yet? Mike and Matt are especially some of the new releases we were promised. Fear not for today’s Reel Film Nerds Podcast Matt picked a brand spanking new Netflix Original starring Chris Hemsworth, Extraction. Off topics today include CEO salaries, the Rambo franchise, and a lengthy discussion at the end of the pod about how Netflix makes money.

Extraction is a decent action film with a story that is very familiar. It is not a bad story; it has just been done over and over again in multiple different variations but better. The acting throughout the film was great. Nothing special but it was not bad either. One of the shining stars of the film is it’s location. Isn’t it nice to see Hollywood expand their filming locations outside of LA, New York, London, and Atlanta? Extraction is not a must watch for most people but you won’t be disappointed if you do. The action is very good so if you are an action buff it is well worth your time. Hopefully the guys are finally getting back on track with their opinions. Mysterious Mike gives Extraction 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt who is always a bit kinder than Mike gives the kidnap action romp 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

Mike is feeling a bit down and out being locked up at home with a brand new baby all the time. He really wants to laugh and have a good time. For next week he picked a classic that is currently streaming on Netflix, Back to the Future! We might even do a Back to the Future retrospective over the next three podcasts. What do you think? Email us and let us know if you want to hear us talk about one of the best film franchises in history. Thanks for checking our little review show. Chat at you next week.
