Episode #322: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

By on Wednesday, May 10, 2023

Well the time has come. We all knew this day would be here but I think we were all just in denial. For Episode 322 we chat about James Gunn’s last Marvel Cinematic Universe film, as of now, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 starring Chris Pratt, Chukwudi Iwuji, Bradley Cooper, and Karen Gillian. Not MCU topics today include golf, DCEU, and the Phoenix Suns.

Let’s not beat around the bush, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is an incredible film. It wraps up some of the most loved films of the MCU to date in a nice tight bow. James Gunn you will be missed sir but we will be looking forward to the work you create at DC. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the complete package. Great acting, fun story, great pacing, lots of humor, honestly there isn’t much missing from this film. Seriously, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the best MCU film since Spider-Man No Way Home and that’s a bold statement.

Mike, Matt and Ma agree you must see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in the theater. It is a great kickoff to the summer blockbuster season. This film is made to be seen on the biggest baddest screen available. Mike and Ma without hesitation give Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 a perfect score of 5 out of 5 Reels and Cookies. Matt on the other hand thinks not everyone can see this film, especially people who are sensitive to animal harm. He awards the film a near perfect score of 4.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week there isn’t much hitting the theaters thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 so Mike, Matt, and Ma hit the streaming services to check out Ghosted starring Chris Evans and Ana de Armas. Don’t forget to check out Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #12 at the end of this incredible podcast. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Episode #314: 65

By on Wednesday, March 15, 2023

Happy almost St. Patrick’s Day everyone! For Episode 314 Mike and Matt chat about a little film that hit the box office last week starring Adam Driver, 65. Additional topics today include The 2023 Academy Awards, Flying Basset, and one incredible giveaway.

When it comes to film with dinosaurs the bar has been set pretty high but also pretty low. 65 is a decent film that falls in the middle of dinosaur films. The CGI is pretty good, the acting by Adam Driver and Ariana Greenblatt is very good, but what falls flat is the story. It’s not a horrible story but it just doesn’t have a ton of substance or dialogue. Because of this the world building is very lacking as well. There is little to no character development so this ancient journey dodging being eaten every few minutes really doesn’t have a ton of weight to it because you don’t really care about the two main characters. 65 is not a bad film, it’s just not a great film like Jurassic Park. Mike and Matt agree 65 only earns a mediocre score of 2 out of 5 Reels.   

For next week’s episode Mike wanted to stay home from the theaters. He picked an Indian film that just won an Academy Award this week, RRR. It is currently streaming on Netflix so why not watch it with us? Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Episode #268: Everything Everywhere All at Once

By on Wednesday, April 27, 2022

The month of April is quickly coming to a close and we are ending it with a bang. Today Matt and Mike discuss the sleeper Sci-Fi multiverse hit, Everything Everywhere All at Once. Not multiverse topics include potty training, generation gaps, and David Carradine.

I am going to keep this one quick because it’s late and I don’t want to spoil too much of the pod or the film. Everything Everywhere All at Once is a very special film. It is creative, original, artistic, and has fantastic acting. This film is the complete package. The only issue with this movie is that it’s not for everyone. Older generations, at least Ma Hinshaw, had a difficult time understanding the multiverse and how the story worked. Sometimes these amazing Sci-Fi films can be too far out there and mind bending for viewers. Don’t let that scare you off from one heck of an interesting, zany, and fun ride.  

Mike and Matt both agree Everything Everywhere All at Once is a must watch film. Mike awards it a rare perfect rating of 5 out of 5 Reels. Matt drops it half a Reel because the film isn’t for everyone giving it 4.5 out of 5 Reels.  

For next week’s podcast Matt continues our theater adventures with the latest Nicolas Cage movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Thanks for listening and reading to the end of our show notes. Chat at you next week!

Episode #197: Tributary – The Vast of Night

By on Wednesday, November 18, 2020

Welcome fellow movie buffs to another installment of the Reel Film Nerds podcast! Does anyone actually read this, I hope so. Today Mike and Matt chat about a very low budget but amazing Sci-Fi film The Vast of Night. Offbeat topics include rez ball, Roswell, and no MCU tie-in?

This is a prime example of being able to do a lot with very little. Is The Vast of Night a perfect film, nope but it is a very good film. The writing is superb, the acting is very well done, and the costumes and sets are incredibly accurate. If you love Sci-Fi especially The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, or The X-Files then you will really enjoy this one. It is a tribute to these shows in theme and scope. Mike with the rare high rating loved The Vast of Night giving it 4.5 out of 5 Reels. He wishes more people would embrace smaller independent films. Matt also really enjoyed this movie but not at Mike’s level. He gives it a good score with 3 out of 5 Reels.

We are taking next week off for Thanksgiving! It has been a very long time since the guys have had a break and they have earned one. We will return in December with another new review, maybe even a Christmas movie. Don’t forget to email us to enter our latest movie giveaway courtesy of Paramount Pictures, the brand new film Echo Boomers starring Michael Shannon and Patrick Schwarzenegger. Thanks for your support and we will chat at you in two weeks!
