Episode #155: 1917

Wednesday is upon us again, the week is halfway over and boy do we have an incredible film to review for you!  Today Matt and Mike discuss the latest World War I epic 1917 directed by Sam Mendes.  Not war related topics include friends, History versus Hollywood, and #BayBang.

1917 is a truly incredible film that is a must see in the theater.  It is getting a ton of awards season buzz and it is warranted. The cinematography is absolutely stunning, the acting is very good, the sets and soundtrack are stunning and accurate to a T.  If this film does not win several awards this year it would be a shock to both Mike and Matt. This is truly one of the best if not THE best film of 2019. Mike awards 1917 a perfect rating with 5 out of 5 Reels!!!  Matt really loved 1917 as well but really would have liked it more if the story was historical.  He still gives it a very high rating with 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Honestly you must see this cinematic achievement in the theaters you will thank us.

Next week the boys hit the theaters to watch another Michael Bay film, Bad Boys for Life.  For those of you counting that is two Michael Bay movies in one month, crazy right?  #BayBang Hopefully in the near future we will discuss a Tributary film that is getting a ton of awards season buzz as well The Two Popes starring Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce.  Thanks for listening to our incredible podcast and we will chat at you next week.
