Episode #131: Good Boys

By Matt on Wednesday, September 4, 2019

Welcome friends to another podcast about movies! Yes another one….. Anyways today Mysterious Mike and Incredible Matt finally review the coming-of age raunchy comedy Good Boys. The guys mostly stay on topic until the end of the pod when Mike and Matt really start talking about their childhoods. Other topics you don’t care about include streaming services are they the next cable companies, drones: reality versus myth, and the Wish Man film.

Good Boys is a fun raunchy comedy that is reminiscent of Superbad blended with American Pie. There is a lot of heart throughout the film and quite a few laughs too. The recurring theme that works best, even though it is used over and over is the main characters not understanding adult oriented items and phrases. It is incredibly funny even though the gag is used way too much. The acting was decent especially Keith L. Williams who plays Lucas a kid who is way too honest and nice. Overall Good Boys is a fun film but you can wait until this one comes out at RedBox or one of the many streaming services. Mike Talent enjoyed the film giving it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt was a bit harsher than Mike but not by much. Let’s hope this is only a phase. He gives Good Boys 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week the guys will talk about the sequel to the 2017 break out horror hit It Chapter Two. If they can get two reviews in and Mike has the film in a theater near him they will talk about the independent adventure comedy The Peanut Butter Falcon, if not you will just get It Chapter Two which probably will be over our time limit to begin with. Thank you faithful listeners for tuning in to another pod, we will chat at you next week.

Episode #128: Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

By Matt on Tuesday, August 13, 2019

Welcome back to your regularly scheduled podcast. Who are we lying to, we don’t have a schedule! An attempted schedule sure but a regular schedule, nope. Today your hosts Mike Talent and Matt discuss the highly anticipated horror film Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Extra topics today include Matt-ism’s, Mike’s suggestions for great modern horror films, and American versus foreign versions of a movie.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was a huge let down to both your hosts. Matt and Mike read the novels this film is based on as kids and had really high hopes for a fun horror film. The individual stories that were taken directly from the novels were great! The overarching story that tied all the smaller stories together was boring and lackluster. The CGI and special effects were amazing, especially the monsters that clearly were influenced by Guillermo del Toro. If you have a teenager that is interested in the horror genre this is a great first horror film. Seasoned horror film veterans might want to wait until it comes out on Blu-ray. Both Matt and Mike agree Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark graciously gets 2 out of 5 Reels.

For our next pod possibly this week we will finally get to our Tributary review of the Netflix Original Revenger. If it falls through again next week we will discuss the new Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg produced Good Boys. A comedy where 3 best friends embark on an epic adventure where one bad decision leads to another. Hopefully it will be a fun one and not a giant mess. Thanks for tuning in and supporting the show.

Storyline from IMDB

It’s 1968 in America. Change is blowing in the wind…but seemingly far removed from the unrest in the cities is the small town of Mill Valley where for generations, the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large. It is in their mansion on the edge of town that Sarah, a young girl with horrible secrets, turned her tortured life into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has transcended time-stories that have a way of becoming all too real for a group of teenagers who discover Sarah’s terrifying tome.

Episode #127: Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

By Matt on Thursday, August 8, 2019

Happy almost Friday everyone! Sorry this pod came out later than we typically post but your hosts had a busy week. The jokes have been made, the off topics were discussed probably too much, and the Reels have been picked for this week’s review of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Our copious off topics include Shark Week, The Boys, helicopter physics, and spin-offs.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is not a bad movie but it is nothing special either. It is exactly what it touts itself as in the trailer. An over the top action film with an incredible villain with some family values sprinkled in. The chemistry between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason “Badass” Statham is fantastic, especially when they start ripping on each other. The sets are well done and the cinematography is great but nothing special. One of the biggest disappointments of the film is the lack of supercars. They had one McLaren 750S driven by Shaw with Hobbs and Hattie squeezed in next to him, ya right. For a franchise known for over the top souped up cars with amazing chases this film does not deliver. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is an entertaining movie but you will not leave the theater in deep discussion about this one. Mike Talent who has seen all of the Fast & Furious franchise gives the movie 3 out of 5 Reels. With a surprise upset especially for Mike Talent, no nickname Matt gives Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

The guys are going to try to review 2 movies next week if they can. So many movies so little time! The new release we will be talking about based on a series of childhood Scholastic books is Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. You heard it here folks Matt is actually excited to see a horror movie! For our second film if we get the time will finally be the Tributary review of the Netflix Original Revenger. Thanks for tuning in and supporting the show.
