Episode #316: John Wick: Chapter 4

By on Wednesday, March 29, 2023

Happy hump day everyone! It’s here, woo-hoo, John Wick: Chapter 4 and man it did not disappoint. Bonus topics today include Dolby Atmos, Dodge Challenger Demon, and Matt and Ma are back on the radio!

It’s been just about 4 years since John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and man a lot has changed in our world. Matt and Mike are just so happy that John Wick didn’t. John Wick: Chapter 4 is an incredible film. The stunts are always at the top but this chapter they really added in martial arts. The John Wick series has always had a level of martial arts but not like this. A lot of that has to do with new co-star Donnie Yen. What an incredible actor and martial artist. He really helped elevate an already incredible franchise. Keanu Reeves, as always, was incredible. He has really upped his hand to hand combat to try to keep up with Yen and we think he did a great job. 

If John Wick: Chapter 4 is the final main film in this franchise your hosts would be satisfied. It has a very good story, amazing action, great characters, incredible acting, and even some really fun humor. Matt and Mike both agree this is a must see film in the theaters. They both award John Wick: Chapter 4, 4.5 out of 5 Reels.   

For next week’s pod we continue with the new theater releases with Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves starring Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Episode #204: Legacy – Johnny Mnemonic

By on Wednesday, January 20, 2021

Happy Inauguration Day! Ok that’s as political as we are going to get, we promise. Today Mike and Matt travel to the future, actually this past Sunday, from the past in 1995’s Johnny Mnemonic starring Keanu Reeves, Dina Meyer, and Dolph Lundgren. Topics better than this movie include organized crime, data prices, and body tech implants.

Should you waste an afternoon or evening watching Johnny Mnemonic, maybe. This is a classic noteworthy mind bending film that has not aged well especially the tech talk and special effects. The acting is pretty awful too. The story is the best part of this movie. If you are a fan of Keanu Reeves or if you like dark Sci-Fi films it is definitely worth a watch. The rest of our listeners should pass. Mike Talent continues his lenient streak awarding Johnny Mnemonic 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt who thought his score was too high continues being harsh giving the Sci-Fi thriller 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week it is Matt’s turn picking George Clooney’s latest film the Netflix Original The Midnight Sky. Don’t forget to send in your New Year’s resolutions to be entered into a drawing for a free copy of the brand new film Redemption Day. Thank you for supporting our podcast and we will chat at you next week.
