Reel Film Nerds

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  We hope you are out catching a movie today.  Nothing better to do on a holiday then spend it with friends and family at the movie theater.  Today your hosts discuss a film that is not in a movie theater and you can watch it right now on Netflix the kinda sorta sequel to Braveheart titled Outlaw King.  Matt apologizes way ahead of time, but he really gets off topic bad talking about tablets and watching movies on airplanes.  Mysterious Mike joined in forgetting to stop him being off topic.  If you are interested in tech and tablets listen, if not feel free to fast forward.

Outlaw King is an amazing film with great cinematography and incredible makeup!  The stunts and gore are so good that some scenes will haunt you well after you finish watching the film.  The acting is superb especially from Chris Pine and new comer Rebecca Robin.  The sets wow they are incredible!  Mike really loved this film he thinks everyone should go watch it except the little ones.  It is a bit much for them.  He gives it 4 out of 5 Reels.  Matt enjoyed Outlaw King as well just not as much as Mike.  He agrees that it is well worth the 2-hour runtime.  Matt gives the Netflix original 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

Thanks for tuning in for another amazing episode of the Reel Film Nerds podcast!  Do us a favor and tell your friends, spread the love!  Don’t forget to subscribe and listen to our sister podcasts Rogues Radio, Code 3 Podcast, The Blue Milk Podcast, and The Mile High Show.  We will be back next Tuesday and Thursday to discuss two new films.  There are a ton of releases this week and your hosts are still arguing about what to review.  Talk at you on Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Don’t fret it is a great Tuesday because 1.) RFN has an awesome new pod out and 2.) It is a short week thanks to national football and turkey day!!!  Today the boys chat about a zombie Nazi horror World War II movie that should have come out before Halloween, Overlord.  Conversation includes Wolfenstein 3D, other WW2 movies that are actually good, zombies or lack thereof, and the incredible thought-provoking comic book Über published by Avatar Press.

Overlord starts out really strong with some amazing WW2 C-47 and paratrooper scenes quickly falling apart afterwards.  The makeup is incredible, the acting is lackluster well Matt thinks so, and the story is just plain awful.  This film is clearly a rip-off of the hugely successful Wolfenstein video game franchise but fails to be as fun or as great of a story.  There are also a ton of WW2 movie stereotypes especially the characters.  It is weird having to write WW2 stereotypes, but they are quickly starting to develop in the entertainment world. 

Matt really was not a huge fan of Overlord other than the beginning scenes.  Maybe he built it up too much in his head or maybe the successful Nazi zombie franchises in existence make this one look terrible.  He gives the movie 2 out of 5 Reels.  Mysterious Mike agreed with Matt and is not a huge fan of this film.  He is still a huge fan of horror and maybe that effected his rating.  Mike gives Overlord 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

Thanks for tuning in for another episode of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast!  Do us a favor and tell your friends.  Don’t forget to subscribe and listen to our sister podcasts Rogues Radio, Code 3 Podcast, The Blue Milk Podcast, and The Mile High Show.  We will be back on Thanksgiving with our first Tributary since August, the Netflix original movie starring Chris Pine, Outlaw King AKA the sequel to Braveheart, kind of.  Chat at you Thursday!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to another installment of the Reel Film Nerds podcast!  Well Matt did it, he braved the Appalachian Mountains to hunt down Mysterious Mike and record a new pod.  Today the boys talk about an incredible biopic on Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody.  Can you believe it the RFN podcast made a top 40 list of the best movie podcasts on the planet?  We are at the 40th spot on the list but we made it!  You can check it out on the Feedspot blog along with all the other winners.  We are in some national company if you can believe it, we can’t.  Topics today include Mike’s wedding to Maniacal Mags, going to concerts, time travel, and our sister podcasts Rogues Radio, Code 3 Podcast, The Blue Milk Podcast, and The Mile High Show.

Bohemian Rhapsody is an amazing film peering into the life and formation of the band Queen focusing on their lead singer Freddie Mercury.  The story is great but it leaves something to be desired.  There just was not enough of Mercury’s back story or enough on the other band members.  It also checks the boxes for every band biopic trope.  The stand out performance of Rami Malek embodying Mercury is unbelievable!  If he is not nominated for an Academy Award Matt will lose his mind.  The soundtrack is incredible of course and the Live Aid scenes are so realistic it feels like you are there!  Matt and Mike both agree that this film is a solid 4 out of 5 Reels.  It is a must see in a movie theater if for nothing more than Malek’s performance and the incredible soundtrack.

The guys are back in full swing and hope to stay that way for the foreseeable future.  Next week look forward to their reviews of the Nazi zombie horror flick Overlord and a brand new Netflix original movie Outlaw King.  Thanks for sticking with us and landing us on a top 40 list.  Make sure to tell your friends about us and don’t forget to rate and review our show.  Chat at you next week!

Hi everyone and welcome back!  We have been on a little bit of a break the past week, but we return to you today with a vengeance!  Ok well Matt returns with a vengeance, Mysterious Mike is M.I.A. after his recent nuptials.  I am guessing he is doing this thing called a honeymoon?  Single guys like Matt will never know what that is.  Back on topic, today Matt talks about Last Flag Flying an Amazon Studio’s original starring Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne, and Steve Carell.

Last Flag Flying is a very serious film that discusses a difficult but important topic.  It does get a little political here and there but how can you not when discussing the death of a young soldier?  The acting is incredible, the sets are great, but the story is what really sets this one apart.  It is nice having some well-timed and appropriate humor that helps with the very serious subject matter.  Matt really enjoyed Last Flag Flying and gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.    

Thank you liking, subscribing, and supporting our little pod.  Matt will do his best to wrangle up Mysterious Mike for Thursday where we will be discussing a biopic that is taking the country by storm, Bohemian Rhapsody.  Chat at you then!

Well listeners we are sorry to say but the end is here but man is it an amazing end!  For the final episode of Harvest Horror Fest 2018 your hosts Mike and Matt discuss the comedy horror flick Cabin in the Woods.  This is one of our longer episodes but sit tight it is fun and worth a listen.  Topics include Marvel, horror tropes, Joss Whedon, Thor, Signals AZ, and we have more than 4 listeners?  How did that happen?

Cabin in the Woods is a near perfect blend of two genres.  It is fun, dramatic, and exciting to name a few.  The acting is stellar especially the little known actors that star in this film.  The story is really where Cabin in the Woods shines though.  This is a must watch film for everyone.  Mike really enjoyed it and awards the movie a near perfect score with 4.5 out of 5 Reels.  Matt truly loves Cabin in the Woods even though he is not a huge horror movie guy.  He drops the elusive perfect score with 5 out of 5 Reels!  Seriously if you have not seen Cabin in the Woods do yourself a favor and watch it.

Just a reminder listeners the coming week or two might be a little light on the podcast front.  Mike is having a lot of life things happening that I guess are more important than watching movies.  Matt will also be busy with regular work and the NAZ Suns 2018-19 season starting but he is going to try his hardest to record a few shows solo or with some special guests.  Thanks for tuning in and we hope you enjoyed Harvest Horror Fest!  We did so expect it to become an annual event.  Have a great weekend and welcome to November!

Welcome faithful followers to another prodigious podcast of the Reel Film Nerds hosted by your buddies Mysterious Mike and Matt Hinshaw.  Today the movie geeks discuss what will probably be an Academy Award winning film, A Star Is Born starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.  Matt and Mike really dive deep into this film both being not only movie aficionados but also huge music fans.  They talk about the music industry, addiction, Metallica, their home state of Arizona, and this thing called the radio that is like podcasting but through the air? 

A Star Is Born is an incredible directorial debut for Bradley Cooper.  The song choice and the singing were real treats and not to be missed.  Lady Gaga did an incredible job acting.  It was almost like this role was written for her.  Bonus tip there is a documentary about Lady Gaga on Netflix called Gaga: Five Foot Two that is a nice companion piece to this film.  Mike and Matt both really enjoyed A Star Is Born.  They line up on their rating again awarding it 4 out of 5 Reels.  This movie is well worth the money so make sure to go see it in a theater.

Thanks for listening and following us on the socials. Your hosts will be back on Thursday with the final installment of this year’s Harvest Horror Fest.  They will be talking about an incredible underrated film titled Cabin in the Woods.  Have and incredible Halloween!  Now go out and catch a horror movie to end this amazing month of frights!

Harvest Horror Fest is quickly ending but not quite yet.  Today Mysterious Mike and Masterful Matt talk about one of their favorite sci-fi/horror films ever Event Horizon!  Topics include isolation, haunted houses, The Matrix, Jurassic Park, and of course space.

Event Horizon is an incredible must-see film especially if you are a horror or sci-fi buff.  It is claustrophobic and thrilling.  The CGI needs some help, but it is a 21-year-old movie.  The other visuals and sets are amazing especially the gravity drive.  The makeup and gore are very well done and do nothing but elevate this horror film.  Matt and Mike are starting to click again maybe too much.  They both give Event Horizon 4.5 out of 5 Reels!

Thanks for your continued support and make sure to share our pod if you like it or not!  Mike and Matt will return on Tuesday with our review of a probable big time Academy Award contender A Star is Born starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.

We have a two-fer for you today!  Exciting isn’t it?  Today your hosts discuss Halloween 2018 and the original from 1978.  The guys stay pretty much on topic discussing horror film tropes, Michael Myers as a villain, and journalism.  Was Mysterious Mike able to keep his streak going with the MCU?  You will have to tune in to find out! 

Halloween 2018 is a great fresh spin on a horror classic.  Michael Myers is scary and menacing to say the least.  Jamie Lee Curtis’ take on her first starring role Laurie Strode 40 years later is incredible!  Her acting is amazing and how the writers decided to write her was even better.  Matt really enjoyed Halloween 2018 but not as much as the original or as much as Mike, of course.  He gives it 3 out of 5 Reels.  He loves the original without question.  It setup an entire generation of slasher horror films.  Matt gives the original Halloween 1978 4.5 out of 5 Reels!!  Mike really enjoyed the latest version of Halloween more than he expected.  He awards it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.  The guys both agreed that the original is still better and just an all around incredible ground breaking film.  Mike gives Halloween 1978 4.5 out of 5 Reels as well!

Thanks for listening and make sure you catch Halloween 2018 in the theaters unless you hate horror movies or the Halloween series.  It is well worth the price of admission.  We will be back on Thursday with another horror film for our month long Harvest Horror Fest when the guys talk about one of their favorites a sci-fi horror movie, Event Horizon.  Have a great week.

Hooray, Harvest Horror Fest continues today with a fun classic and goofy horror film From Dusk Till Dawn!!  The guys talk about their first time seeing the film when they were kids especially Quentin Tarantino’s character and how terrible and creepy he is.  The guys get off topic pretty hard but it’s after the spoilers warning so it’s ok.  Matt tried really hard to be funny about Ryan Reynolds and it fails miserably on Mike but it does lead to a discussion about beautiful women actresses.  Other off topics included Southpark, Salma Hayek, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, fighter pilots, and being tall.

From Dusk Till Dawn is a fun brutal vampire movie.  The acting is good, the special effects and makeup is great, and the story is very ridiculous but fun especially the vampire band and Salma Hayek’s snake.  Matt gives the film a respectable 3.5 out of 5 Reels.  Mike is a bit more judgmental giving From Dusk Till Dawn a solid 3 out of 5 Reels. It is not a must see film but it is very entertaining so basically if you are into horror films, Quentin Tarantino, or Robert Rodriguez you might as well watch it.

Make sure to join us next Thursday with the continuation of our month long Harvest Horror Fest when the boys chat about the sci-fi horror flick Event Horizon.  We have not picked what new movie we are going to review on Tuesday but I promise we are going to do something.  Don’t forget to share our podcast with your friends maybe not this episode but one of the good ones yeah that’s but which sode is a good one?  Talk at ya on Tuesday!!!

Salutations everyone and welcome to your first Reel Film Nerds podcast of the week!  Today your hosts talk about a film with a subject matter that is near and dear to their hearts, space exploration!  Today your hosts dive into the dramatic telling of Neil Armstrong’s life as an astronaut ending with him landing on the moon.  The guys really get going and talk a lot about this movie and everything that surrounds it including the X-15, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo missions, and the movie versus real life.

Mike and Matt both love this movie without question.  They might be bias though since they both love space exploration.  The acting is incredible by both Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy.  The film is also very well done especially the scenes on the moon.  It is tense and thrilling and keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.  The filmmakers also cover a topic rarely seen on the big screen the family of Neil Armstrong and what they go though during his time as an astronaut.  Matt and Mike both give First Man 4.5 out of 5 Reels.  Matt thinks it is one of the top movies of the year and if it is not an Academy Award contender he would be shocked.

Thanks for listening and we will chat at you on Thursday with our Harvest Horror Fest review of From Dusk Till Dawn.  P.S. Don’t forget to tell your friends and family about us but only if you like our little pod.
