Reel Phonies

Join us this week as we discuss the latest Hollywood news and gossip including the new Ted Bundy biopic starring Zac Effron, the Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie being rewritten on set, and some absolutely outrageous Oscar nominations and snubs.

Love him or hate him, Jake Gyllenhaal has a pretty extensive film career for a man not even out of his 30s. From Oscar nominations to Roland Emmerich films, this better-looking Tobey McGuire has done it all. We start from the baby-faced, young Gyllenhaal in October Sky all the way through present-day, baby-faced Gyllenhaal in much stranger and more ambitious roles and determine, once and for all, his best performance ever.

*************NOTE: "Glass" spoilers galore lie beyond this time code

**ADDITIONAL NOTE: It sounds terrible so it's better to find out now than after you've spent your money

Join us this week as we break down the latest Hollywood news and gossip including the trailer for the third installment to the John Wick series, potential Pokemon movies in the pipeline following positive response to the Detective Pikachu trailer, and the long awaited first trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home.

With Glass just on the horizon, we here at Reel Phonies thought it would be a good idea to reflect on the ups, downs, and headscratchers that make up the complicated but surprisingly steady filmography of the one and only M. Night Shyamalan. We share our thoughts and insight on the hits (The Sixth Sense, Signs), the misses (The Last Airbender, The Happening), and the unclear (The Village, Split) and determine whether M. Night Shyamalan, as a concept, is better or worse than Michael Bay's Transformers. Is there a twist ending? Tune in to find out!

Avengers: Endgame will close out an 11-year, 21-movie master plan that probably started before Tom Holland was even born. But what's next? Aside from Spider-Man: Far From Home, the future Marvel cinematic slate is completely blank. That's where we come in. Join us this week as we make some predictions, speculations, and wistful nerdy dreams for what lies ahead for Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We'll pitch stories and concepts for sequels for existing characters, like Captain America, and some new introductions, such as the long awaited return of X-Men and the Fantastic Four.

Join us this week as we break down the newest Hollywood news and rumors including Jon Bernthal and Vera Farmiga in the Sopranos prequel movie, 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg helming the Uncharted movie adaptation, and the newest but frustratingly vague Game of Thrones teaser.

Join us this week as we unravel the latest Hollywood news and gossip including the award atrocities committed at the Golden Globes, grim updates on Todd McFarlane's Spawn movie, and two new Netflix projects including a David Fincher/Tim Miller-helmed anthology series and a John Wick-style action flick starring Mads Mikkelsen.

Remember what life was like before everyone on planet Earth had seen Black Panther? As hard as it is to imagine, that was just January of this year. Join us this week as we look back on some of the big movie, TV, and general pop culture events that shaped the year and dole out some best and worst superlatives for all the new things that 2018 brought us.

Join us this week as we take on the latest Hollywood news and rumors including the trailer for Jordan Peele's new project "Us", the Chris Hemsworth/Tessa Thompson-led MIB International trailer, and some very divisive set photos from the new live action Aladdin film.

When the multi-verse it at stake, sometimes one Spider-Man just isn't enough. Join us this week as we profess our love for this stylish, fun, inventive take on a Spider-Man origin you probably haven't heard before. We take some time discuss initial impressions of the movie, what characters we'd like to see more of, and where it ranks in the greater Spider-Man catalog.
