Jason Bateman Archives - Reel Film Nerds

Welcome one and all! For today’s amazing podcast Mike and Matt chat about a classic American underdog story Air starring Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, and Ben Affleck. Not Nike based topics include video on demand, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and shoe stores.

So far 2023 has been an interesting year for films with multiple sneak attacks. Air is another one of those attacks. We knew this film was coming out and what it was based around but wow it was a whole lot more than either host expected. The acting and directing is incredible. Matt Damon as Sunny Vaccaro is clearly the standout but he is surrounded by an incredible amount of talent. Viola Davis kills it as we have all come to expect as Michael Jordan’s Mom Deloris. Davis is just insanely talented. The surprise though was Chris Tucker. An incredible actor in his own right but not known for dramatic roles, Tucker is instrumental in this film. Your hosts hope to see him make a much bigger comeback in serious roles like this one.

Air is the complete package. The script is incredible, the story is very good, the acting is out of this world, and the cinematography is excellent. Mike and Matt agree Air is a must see film. Matt gives Air a near perfect rating with 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Mike with a rare perfect rating awards the film 5 out of 5 Reels!

Next week we check out the new release Renfield starring Nicolas Cage, Nicholas Hoult, and Awkwafina. Don’t forget to check out Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #8 at the end of RFN Episode #318. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Hi everybody! It is Wednesday and that means new podcast day! For today’s episode Mike and Matt travel back to 2011 to review a fun comedic alien sci-fi classic starring Nick Frost and Simon Pegg, Paul. Odd discussion topics include genetics, probing, and the acceptance nerd culture.

This is the kind of film we need right now. It is fun, nerdy, and hilarious! If you have not seen Paul it is worth a watch. It is a unique alien road trip story across the United States by two British sci-fi geeks featuring an incredible comedic cast. Names include Jane Lynch, David Koechner, Jason Bateman, and Kristen Wiig. Paul embraced nerd culture and helped bring it into the mainstream with other comedic properties like The Big Bang Theory during 2011. Matt and Mike both enjoyed their re-watch of this great film. They both award Paul 3.5 out of 5 Reels. It is currently streaming on HBO Max.

It is Mike’s pick for next week and he hunted down an award winning Amazon Original from the United Kingdom, Get Duked! The trailer looks very promising on this unique romp through the Scottish Highlands. Don’t forget to check out this week’s promo and movie giveaway Most Wanted written and directed by Daniel Roby and starring Josh Hartnett. Thanks for hanging out and listening to our little pod. We will chat at you next week!
