Episode #323: Tributary – Ghosted

Hump day is here! For this week’s podcast Matt and Mike chat about a streaming movie! Yes it’s been a while but there wasn’t much released in the theaters so we hit up Apple TV+ to check out Ghosted starring Chris Evans and Ana de Armas. Extra topics today include cameos, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3  is killing it, and friends in high places.

It’s been a very long time since we just stayed at home and streamed a movie for review. Ghosted was a great pick by Mysterious Mike Talent. It is not too serious, action packed, romantic, and even comedic. The film stars Captain America AKA Chris Evans as a super clingy guy trying to track down a girl he spent only one night with. He quickly finds out that maybe he should have quit while he was a head. Ana de Armas stars as the no nonsense CIA operative whose one night stand tracks her down while trying to save the world. 

Ghosted was a lot of fun and had some great action. The special effects at times were very lacking. The brief but hilarious cameos by some big stars just added to the fun. Mike awards Ghosted 3 out of 5 Reels while Matt gives it a 3.5 out of 5 Reels. 

Next week the summer blockbusters continue to roll with Fast X starring just about every major action star ever! Don’t forget to check out Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #13 at the end of this incredible podcast. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Episode #313: Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre

Welcome one and all. It’s a new podcast day for the Reel Film Nerds. For today’s episode Ma, Mike and Matt chat about Guy Ritchie’s latest film Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre. Bonus discussions include Legion, death, and Yes Man.

This is not your typical Guy Ritchie film. The story is told directly, there are not a ton of characters, and there are no big twists or reveals. Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre is not a bad film just not what your hosts have come to expect from Ritchie. It’s a spy satire with some really funny moments but not enough. It was great seeing Josh Hartnett back on screen and in a somewhat starring role. Aubrey Plaza, Hugh Grant, and of course Jason Statham all do great jobs. Operation Fortune is just missing something keeping it from hitting that incredible film rank like previous Ritchie flicks. Ma and Mike agree Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre is a solid 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt really expected more but he still really enjoyed himself. He awards the film 3 out of 5 Reels.

Mike, Matt, and even Ma just can’t stay away from the theaters in 2023. For next week they will report back about the Sci-Fi dinosaur thriller 65 starring Adam Driver. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!
