Reel Film Nerds

Harvest Horror Fest continues!!  Today Mysterious Mike presents his first solo cast, Trick ‘r Treat.  It is sweet, quick, and to the point.  This pod compensates for the multiple 30-minute plus podcasts lately.  Mike talks about his upcoming trip to Universal Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights, Netflix still has DVD’s, and Bad Santa.  He mostly stays on topic though.

Trick ‘r Treat is a fun horror movie that Mike should have seen by now but hasn’t.  It is 5 stories in one that all happen on Halloween night.  It has a stellar cast with good acting and will be a cult classic for years to come.  Mysterious Mike gives the film an average rating of 3 out of 5 Reels.

Thanks everyone for listening.  There are a ton of movies coming out this month and Matt and Mike are still arguing on which ones to do reviews on.  If they had time they would just do a podcast a day, too bad they are both working stiffs and don’t have the time.  This Tuesday look forward to a review of either A Star is Born, First Man, or Bad Times at the El Royale.  Chat at you next Tuesday and remember Harvest Horror Fest continues next Thursday with another cult classic horror film.

Wow do we have an incredible podcast for you today! The guys have a super special guest who has extensive knowledge on the source material for the film we reviewed, Sony’s latest Marvel film Venom!  Bonus trivia this is our guest’s first podcast ever and Mike and Matt thought he did a fantastic job!  The three hosts stay on topic just about the whole pod even though it ends up running long.  That 30 minute rule seems to be broken a lot lately.  Topics include everyone’s favorite Venom host, the Venom trailer vs. the movie, Natural Born Killers, Spiderman, and of course the Venom comic book vs. the movie.

Venom was a fun action packed movie that dragged a bit during the first half of the film.  The CGI was incredible, the story was fun, and the villains were great!  Our special guest known as Lumberjack Michael is an absolute Venom fanatic and gave the movie 4.5 out of 5 Reels!!!!  He does really love Venom like no one Mike or Matt has ever met!  Mysterious Mike was surprised by the film and just like Matt does not understand why the critics are tearing it apart.  It is not a ground breaking movie but it is not hot garbage either.  Mike gives Venom 3.5 out of 5 Reels.  Matt probably for the first time ever gave a lower rating than Mike!  He gives this antihero film 3 out of 5 Reels.  He really wanted this movie to be rated R and it wasn’t.  Deadpool, his favorite comic character’s films are rated R and have done gang busters at the box office so why not make a Venom movie properly and rate it R?

This Thursday Harvest Horror Fest continues with a surprise, even for Matt, first ever solo cast by Mysterious Mike!  He reviews the 2007 horror film Trick ‘r Treat.  Thanks for hanging out with us and Mike will chat at you on Thursday!

Welcome everyone to the kick off of what hopefully will become an annual event, the Reel Film Nerds’ Harvest Horror Fest!  Our first pick is probably our worst pick, but Matt tricked Mike anyways because he is a dick like that.  Today the boys discuss the disaster of a horror film Tusk by famed writer and director Kevin Smith.  The guys get off topic as always but some of the topics do relate more than others.  They discuss the Sixth Sense, going to the bathroom during a movie, production company A24, Chasing Amy, and why can’t we have DVR movie theaters? 

Tusk is just flat out a horrible movie and you really should not watch it unless you are insanely bored, insanely!!!!  It is not even hilariously bad, it’s just bad period.  Mike wanted to give it 0 Reels, but he is not that cruel, he gives Tusk 0.5 Reels out of 5.  Matt has a love hate relationship with Kevin Smith and this is one of the hate instances.  He gives Tusk 1 out of 5 Reels.    

Next Tuesday we will be reviewing the least anticipated Marvel, not MCU, movie to date Venom.  Matt is trying to get a special guest to be on who is a huge fan of Venom and what his thoughts are of his favorite comic character's latest flick.  Don’t forget Harvest Horror Fest continues next Thursday with From Dusk till Dawn.  Do us a favor and write in to let us know if you like or hate Harvest Horror Fest.  I know Mike is loving it.  Chat at you on Tuesday!

Now go out and catch a movie!

Welcome back movie lovers to another episode of the Reel Film Nerds podcast!  Today we review a movie that 90% of you have never heard of, Assassination Nation.  This movie has had a limited release and was picked to go nation wide from the Sundance Film Festival.  It is not for the faint of heart, but it is an amazing film.  Mysterious Mike and Matt also talk about press conferences, the late Sen. John McCain, LGBTQ, sexting, and hackers.

Assassination Nation is a dark, gritty, and eye-opening film.  It keeps you thinking during the movie and days after you witness it.  The sets are great, the acting is amazing, and the story is incredible especially the social commentary.  Matt and Mike were both surprised by this movie and really enjoyed it.  They once again agree on a rating, 4 out of 5 Reels.  Wait is this becoming a trend?  Assassination Nation is not for everybody but if you love film this one is a must see.

Remember to tune in this Thursday when the first Reel Film Nerds Harvest Horror Fest kicks off with one of Kevin Smith’s first horror films, Tusk.

Welcome back everyone!  Today your hosts Mysterious Mike and incredible Matt talk about Matthew McConaughey’s latest based on a true story film White Boy Rick.  There is not a ton to say about this film without spoiling it but we will always do our best to warn you when he hit that discussion area.  Topics also include crazy family life, drug addiction, the film Gold, and a controversial topic if all drugs should just be legal in the United States.  Lastly they remind you that the first Reel Film Nerds Harvest Horror Fest kicks off in one week!!!  Are you excited, we are!!!!

Mike and Matt both enjoyed this film but it is not a must see.  What makes this movie great is the acting and the incredible true story.  The editing was just flat out strange and the choices the director made on what to show you versus tell you bothered both of your hosts.  Mike gives this film 3 out of 5 Reels while Matt is a little more lenient with 3.5 out of 5 Reels. The hosts both agree White Boy Rick is worth a watch just for the story but wait until it is released on a streaming service or at Red Box.  Thank you for continued support and we will chat at you on Tuesday with a brand new movie review of Assassination Nation.

Welcome to our super special 50th episode spectacular!!!  In celebration of making it 50 podcasts we broke form a little.  Today’s review is a Legacy cast not your typical new movie review, that will be on Thursday.  We go all the way to the beginning where the now infamous Marvel Cinematic Universe started the original Iron Man.  The second half of the pod the boys talk a bit about their favorite films they reviewed and some of their favorite moments of recording the pod together.  Matt reminisces about co-founder and first co-host of the show Seth Marquardt.  Lastly the guys talk about a possible giveaway for the next milestone, episode 100 or the podcast 1-year anniversary, whichever comes first. 

Mysterious Mike and Matt both love this movie.  It is a great story, well written, and well-acted.  They both give the original Iron Man directed by Jon Favreau and starring Robert Downey Jr. 4.5 out of 5 Reels.     

Remember to tune in this Thursday when the guys review Matthew McConaughey’s latest film White Boy Rick.  Don’t forget the first Reel Film Nerds Harvest Horror Fest kicks off next week with one of Kevin Smith’s first horror films Tusk.

Good day everyone and welcome to yet another Reel Film Nerds podcast.  Yep we aren’t going away that easy!  Today Matt and Mike continue to gear up for their first Harvest Horror Fest with a Legacy cast of Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.  The guys try to tell some jokes, but they fail miserably.  Staying on topic alludes your hosts too.  Matt is probably the biggest problem when it comes to staying on topic, sorry everyone.  Discussion includes Avengers 4, side boob, PBR, the new Captain Marvel trailer, Fargo, woodchippers, and hillbilly hog!  What a fun and odd conversation.   

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is a fun interesting take on the horror genre or comedy genre?  Let’s just go with both.  The writing is excellent, the acting is great, and the makeup/special effects are spot on.  Mike gives the film a little above average score of 3.5 out of 5 Reels.  Matt who is much better at rating movies (according to him) and not nearly as harsh as Mike gives it 4 out of 5 Reels.

Episode 50 is next!  Can you believe it, we can’t.  We thought for sure Mike would get mad at Matt and quit after only a few episodes, but he didn’t!  Thanks, Mysterious Mike!  What do the guys have in store, we have no idea, probably just more random off topic talk and maybe a movie review?  Download next Tuesday’s episode to find out.  Thanks again for listening and we will see you next week.

Now go out and catch a movie!

Welcome boys and girls to yet another podcast!!!  Today Mike and Matt talk about a giant mess of a movie, The Predator directed by Shane Black.  The guys stay fairly on topic for this one and basically rip this film apart.  This movie is just flat out all over the place.  Matt talks a bit about the many reshoots and controversies surrounding this movie while Mike just listens.  He was really tired so we will let it slide this time.  The guys also discuss the original Predator from 1987 and how much better it is, (if you want to hear more go back and listen to our Legacy cast on it Episode #21) sleep or lack of, the Android operating system, the Terminator, and lastly K2SO from Rogue One.

Matt and Mike had a ton of issues with this film but it was still fun.  If you are not a diehard Predator fan like they are wait until this one comes out on Netflix or Redbox.  It is just all over the place with tons of plot holes and parts of the film that are just flat out strange.  We have that rare occurrence when the guys agree on a rating both Mike and Matt give The Predator 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

Like always thank you listening and spreading the word about our podcast to help us grow!  Coming up on Thursday the guys review a fun horror film? comedy? both?  Who knows we will all find out when the guys discuss and review Tucker & Dale vs Evil.  Talk at you then!

Hey kids and welcome to your last Reel Film Nerds pod of the week!  We have an incredible Legacy cast for you today!  It is a bit long but it is totally worth the extra 20 minutes or so.  The one the only, well should be the only, Ghostbusters!  Matt cannot say enough about this movie.  It is one of his favorites, definitely top 5.  Mysterious Mike also really likes this film from start to finish!  The guys talk a ton about Ghostbusters trivia, John Candy, John Belushi, the not so great 2016 remake, and a little off topic The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon TV shows.  Lastly the guys discuss what’s coming up in October the first ever Reel Film Nerds Harvest Horror Fest!   

Mike and Matt both love Ghostbusters more than words can express, well at least Matt does.  He gives us his first perfect score!  It only took 47 episodes, but he has done it Matt gives Ghostbusters a perfect 5 out of 5 Reels!  Mike loves this film but for some reason is not as awesome as Matt and only gives it 4.5 out of 5 Reels.  Seriously Mike?  WTF?  Wait is that still a thing?  I don’t care I am using it!

Next Tuesday the guys talk about a controversial film well it is controversial now, The Predator.  They will try to explain all the controversy surrounding it and while Edward James Olmos was cut completely out!  For Tuesday the guys continue their drive towards Harvest Horror Fest with a Legacy cast of the comedy horror film Tucker and Dale vs Evil.  Don’t forget episode 50th is nipping at our heals and we still are looking for some suggestions so email us!  Should we do a neat review, give something away, or just not have a 50 episode and skip straight to 51?  Thanks again for listening to us and chat at you Tuesday!

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to your first Reel Film Nerds pod of the week!  Today your host’s Matt and Mike discuss Jennifer Garner’s return to the silver screen, Peppermint.  Peppermint is your classic revenge story littered with tons of action scenes.  Your hosts stick to the review at hand for the most part.  Mike actually went off on a pretty solid tangent about Liam Neeson and his legacy of Taken films.  Amazing, it was not Matt for once!  Of course, he brought up Star Wars again but just for a little bit.  Mike and Matt also discuss other revenge films they really enjoy like Man on Fire.  For those of you looking for a discussion on Moviepass sorry.  Maybe Mike will get Matt going on the next pod.

Mike and Matt both were not super impressed with this movie, but they did not think it was terrible either.  It was just an average film.  The acting was decent, the action was well done, the story is not great and has been repeated throughout cinema many times over, but it is not horrible either.  Mike gives Peppermint 3 out of 5 Reels.  Matt enjoyed the film as well but did have some issues with it especially how they ended it.  He gives it 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

Coming up on Thursday is an incredible Legacy cast, Ghostbusters!!!  No not the 2016 remake the original from 1984!  Matt is super excited to talk about it and so is Mike.  It is going to be a fun one.  Thanks for listening and chat at you then!
