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!
