Episode #309: The Fabelmans

By on Wednesday, February 8, 2023

Happy Wednesday movie lovers. For this week’s Reel Film Nerds podcast we catch up on a 2023 Best Picture nominee The Fabelmans written and directed by Steven Spielberg. Extra topics include raw talent, breaking news, and a new movie giveaway.

This is a very personal story that took many years for Steven Spielberg to write and bring to film. The Fabelmans is very closely based on Spielberg’s upbringing in Arizona and his love of creating films. The Fabelmans is a lot deeper than that. It is also about family, resentment, lying, and truth. The film was beautifully shot and written, to be expected from Spielberg, but it also was acted extremely well. Michelle Williams and Gabriel LaBelle are incredible but Paul Dano and even Seth Rogen put on incredible displays too. The Fabelmans is a must watch film if you love movies. Is it the Best Picture winner, we will find out in a few weeks. Matt gives the film 4 out of 5 Reels while Mike with an almost perfect score rates it 4.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week Mike and Matt head to the theaters to check out the latest M. Night Shyamalan flick, Knock at the Cabin starring Dave Bautista. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Episode #189: Legacy – Paul

By on Wednesday, September 23, 2020

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!

Episode #183: Tributary – An American Pickle

By on Wednesday, August 12, 2020

Another week and another podcast for your listening pleasure. Today Mike and Matt dip into yet another streaming service to watch the first HBO Max Original film An American Pickle starring Seth Rogen and Seth Rogen. Extra topics include PSL, portrait mode, and do we really need more streaming services?

An American Pickle is definitely a movie. It is not a good movie, it is not a terrible movie, it’s just a movie. The premise is hilarious with tones of the hit TV show Futurama and the slapstick goofiness of an Adam Sandler comedy but it just doesn’t deliver. In fact the movie gets down right mean and cruel towards the end. It is a dark comedy but sometimes the darkness is just upsetting and not funny. Is this the film to force your hand to subscribe to yet another streaming service?  No, definitely not. If you have the time plus a subscription to HBO Max and want to watch Seth Rogen play against himself in what could have been a very funny film, then sure why not sit down and watch this one. Matt and Mike suggest you don’t. Mike Talent gives An American Pickle 2 out of 5 Reels. Matt getting back to normalcy gives it a smidge high score with 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week, as of right now, we plan on watching the Johnny Depp and Christian Bale cops and robbers biopic Public Enemies currently streaming on Netflix. Thanks for listening to our pod, hopefully you enjoyed it as much as we did. Chat at you next week!

Episode #131: Good Boys

By 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.

If you want to listen to way better podcast’s don’t forget to check out our sister podcasts The Bluemilk Podcast, The Mile High Show, and Rogues Radio Podcast also based in beautiful Prescott, Arizona.
