Episode #417: A Working Man

By Matt on Wednesday, April 2, 2025

April showers bring May flowers. Wow it’s now another new month of 2025. This week Mike and Matt pick up the slack for Ma Hinshaw by chatting about the new Jason Statham action flick A Working Man. Non-human trafficking topics include Snow White bombs, professional Lego reviews, and more moving nonsense.

Ok let’s be honest, there is not a lot coming out in theaters and Matt really could care less about the A Minecraft Movie so we are watching a Netflix Original! Our review for Episode 418 will be the Russo brothers Sci-Fi epic The Electric State starring Chris Pratt, Millie Bobby Brown, and Ke Huy Quan. Thank you for your continued support of our passion project. We will be back next week with another episode of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast!
