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!
