Episode #264: Tributary – Windfall

By Matt on Wednesday, March 30, 2022

Check it out everyone I think we are back on track for a bit with two pods in a row. This week Matt and Mike continue their voyage into new Netflix Originals with the suspenseful thriller Windfall starring Jason Segel, Lily Collins, Jesse Plemons, and Omar Leyva. Bonus topics today include Blanton’s, Alfred Hitchcock, and the Oscars.

Are you looking for something a little different? A film that makes you ask questions instead of receiving answers? If your answer is a yes then Windfall is for you. The new Netflix Original is not a bad movie but is not an incredible one either. There are lots of great elements such as the set, the acting, and some storytelling. Windfall is just so dang drawn out and downright boring it might be a pass.

A very wealthy couple goes to their vacation home for the weekend and walks in on a man robbing them when they arrive. Both parties are spooked and chaos quickly ensues. Mike thought Windfall was just OK giving it 2 out of 5 Reels. Matt agreed with Mike that it’s not a must watch film. He gives Windfall 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

For next week’s podcast Matt takes us back to the theaters to review the predicted train wreck Morbius starring Jared Leto. The guys will let you know if it’s worth spending your hard earned money on it or not. Thanks for listening and reading to the end of our show notes. Chat at you next week!

Episode #168: Tributary – Code 8

By Matt on Wednesday, April 29, 2020

Welcome kiddos! Are you sick of watching TV, movies, and listening to the Reel Film Nerds podcast yet? No? Great, neither are we so here is a fresh one for your ear holes. Today Mike Talent and Matt checked out an independent Sci-Fi film that Netflix purchased recently Code 8. Not Code 8 topics include Zoom Meetings, the joys of breeding, and Parks and Recreation.

Code 8 is a really great fun action packed Sci-Fi movie. It is perfect right now to help keep your mind off being stuck inside. It takes place in an alternate universe where a percentage of the population basically has superpowers. Oh and there are these sick robots that were created to help police the troublemaker supers. The story and the special effects are the absolute best part of this film. It is astonishing what they were able to do on an independent budget. The acting well it’s a little rough. It is not awful by any means it just could have been better. Mike and Matt really enjoyed this film and do suggest you sit down and watch it. Regretfully though they keep landing on the same rating!! This week makes 5 reviews in a row where they agreed, so boring! They both give Code 8 a respectable 3 out of 5 Reels.

Next week is Matt’s pick and boy did he grab a great watch. It is a film by a little director you might have heard of Martin Scorsese. The film though is one you might not have heard of. It is from 1999 titled Bringing Out the Dead. If you have Amazon Prime it is currently streaming on Prime Video for free. Why not sit down this week and watch it then email us your thoughts on the film. We will even read them on the pod! Thanks for checking our little review and booze show. Why not do us one more favor and help spread the love by telling your friends and family to listen too! Chat at you next week.

Episode #161: Tributary – Game Over, Man!

By Matt on Wednesday, February 26, 2020

Hi everybody and welcome to the writing for an introduction to the latest Reel Film Nerds podcast! Was that confusing? I know I am confused, anyways today your hosts Mike and Matt review a film that you definitely should not waste your time watching. The Netflix Original starring the guys from Workaholics, Game Over, Man! Off topics more entertaining than this film include emoji, stoner movies, and your hosts are old.

Seriously, do not watch this movie. It is not a great way to spend your time at all. It does have its moments with a handful of great bits but there are just too few to help rescue it’s awful and confusing story. The acting is fine, the sets are nothing special, and the story once again in trash. The guys had such a hard time talking about this one that they mostly were off topic for the entire podcast. They are fun off topics and maybe too extreme but we are sure someone might be entertained at least for a little bit. Matt always being the nice guy that he is (Matt you really need to work on that especially in life), gives Game Over, Man! 2 out of 5 Reels. Mysterious Mike Talent with surprising leniency gives this sad excuse for a movie 1.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week the guys hit the theaters for what looks to be a really great horror film take on a classic character starring Elisabeth Moss, The Invisible Man. Thanks for tuning in to our little pod and we will chat at you next week!

Episode #154: Tributary – 6 Underground

By Matt on Wednesday, January 8, 2020

Welcome fellow film geeks! Today Mike Talent and Matt discuss the most Michael Bay film Michael Bay has ever Michael Bayed in history, the Netflix original 6 Underground starring Ryan Reynolds. Not Michael Bay related topics include not so smart assistants, Kirby Chambliss, and selfies.

6 Underground is a really fun movie with tons of incredible over the top action. This is one of the few straight to Netflix films that definitely would be better to watch in a theater. The biggest issue this movie has is the story and that is a very big deal to both of your hosts. The acting is great for the most part. Ryan Reynolds comes off as just collecting a paycheck though. He is not terrible in 6 Underground but he also does nothing that’s worth talking about either. Mike Talent enjoyed the film but was very disappointed by the story and acting giving the film 2 out of 5 Reels. Matt also thought this movie could have been better except for the action and stunts, he loved them. He gives 6 Underground a score of 3 out of 5 Reels.

Possibly later this week we will discuss a second Tributary film with our review of The Two Popes starring Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce. Based on true events of the transition of power from Pope Benedict to Pope Francis. Finally, next week we will be reviewing a film your hosts are extremely excited about Sam Mendes’ 1917. A story following two British soldiers during World War I who are tasked with delivering a message behind enemy lines. Thanks for your continued support of our podcast and have a great rest of your week.
