Hello faithful listeners and welcome to our fourth review for 2022! Today Mike and Matt chat about Being the Ricardos starring Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem. Off topics today include Southpark returns, Must See TV Thursday’s, and Mike’s dad jokes just won’t die!

What happens when you pair two Academy Award winning actors together with Academy Award winning writer/director Aaron Sorkin? You get an amazing biopic about one of TV’s most iconic couples, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Sorkin can be a real tough pill to swallow. He loves lots of dialogue and jumping around timelines without letting the viewer know. If you can look past those two things you are in for a treat with Being the Ricardos. The acting is some of the best of 2020 and the story is harrowing. If Nicole Kidman is not nominated for an Oscar for her role as Lucy, Matt is going to protest in the streets! Being the Ricardos is not for everyone but it is well worth a watch on Amazon Prime. Mike with the high score this week awards the film 4 out of 5 Reels. Matt also really enjoyed the movie, dropping his rating a smidge with 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

For next week Mike and Matt review their first Apple TV+ Original with Mike’s pick The Tragedy of Macbeth starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand. Thank you for your continued support of our podcast and we will chat at you next week!

Welcome everyone to our little pod about movies! In today’s episode your two hosts discuss Guy Ritchie’s latest British gangster film The Gentlemen. Extracurricular topics include MCU burnout, when you need to be in your seat, and the 2nd Annual Poindexter Awards.

The Gentlemen was a real shock to Mike and Matt. Neither of them were super anxious to see this film. It did not look like a bad movie from the trailers but Ritchie has had a few missteps recently. This picture was a really nice return to form for the writer and director of such great films as Snatch and Sherlock Holmes. The cast is amazing, the sets are great, and the story is full of fun twists and turns like a lot of Guy Ritchie’s older fantastic films. The acting was incredible especially from Hugh Grant and Colin Farrell. Is this a must watch film in the theaters, no it is not but it is worth a watch. Matt and Mike both agree, wait until this one is streaming or at RedBox to catch it. Mike really enjoyed The Gentlemen awarding it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt also liked the film a ton but as we all know he is way too lenient with his ratings. He gives Guy Ritchie’s latest film 4 out of 5 Reels.

Next week we promise we will finally review Birds of Prey. Matt is still new to this Internet thing. Hopefully he figures out how to work it soon so there are no more screw ups. Thanks for hanging out with us while we chat your ears off about movies. Talk to you next week.
