The Film Board

We're talking to one of our own! Tommy Handsome's feature film has just hit Amazon Prime so the Film Board has gathered to talk about the film, the production, and release!

What a brilliant end to a decade! We’re wrapping it up with the ultimate film in the Skywalker Saga from that Star Wars galaxy far, far away: Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker. It will likely be impossible for us to talk about this without revealing major spoilers about this film that’s 42 years in the making, so tune in if you’re cool with sapping some of the surprises or go see it and then check in with us here as our conversation goes deep into its story, its execution, its characters and ultimately how all of its filmmakers held up to the weight of an entire world of expectations thrust upon this epic film.It’s a special gang of thugs on this as our founders Andy Nelson and Pete Wright come together to join their personal fandoms to see if it will defeat any random reams early hate on this movie. And as a special ringer, we’re once again joined by special guest host Jordan Peterson from the Nerd Critic Podcast, where he’s recently recapped his own admiration for the franchise. Be with us now. Feel the force of the The Film Board’s Year End episode for 2019.

SURPRISE! The Film Board snuck out and saw an advance screening this month, so we’re in spoiler Shangri-la to chat about Knives Out before it's even officially released! It’s a traditional “whodunit” that Rian Johnson has packed full with family entanglements that make multiple money murder motives. There’s so many reasons we wanted to check this thing out and many of them come from the remarkable cast including Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, and others.Join Tommy Metz III, Pete Wright, Steve Sarmento, and Justin "JJ" Jaeger as we slash into the mystery and slice around what we liked and didn’t like. Rian Johnson’s work has been under close investigation since the unveiling of his Star Wars take in The Last Jedi. This is a complete departure from that, so we’ll jump the gun on it and give you a cutting edge opinion about what you’ll see on the big screen next week. Knives Out opens in theaters on November 27, 2019, so click here to find out about it first with this episode of The Film Board from The Next Reel.Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on The Next Reel’s Discord channel!

We welcome in special guest host Jordan Peterson from the Nerd Critic Podcast. We’ll dig into Pete’s love of all things undead and do our best to geek out accordingly on zombie canon. It’s not all fun and games, but this one filled with novelty to define a new kind of Babylon. Run for your lives with us on this episode of The Film Board.

Let’s go back to school with It Chapter Two. The Film Board made a pact last month that we’d return to Derry with the other losers if It came back. Well It’s here and in this one, the kids are all grown up with Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, and James McAvoy playing our heroes. Will the sequel have the record-setting legs of its predecessor? Is It the greatest Stephen King thriller of all time? There’s a lot to talk about here as long as we’ve got the courage to fight the fear.Join Tommy Metz III, Steve Sarmento, Pete Wright, and Justin "JJ" Jaeger as they rifle through all the scary memories of It. An irrational fear of clowns is called “coulrophobia.” This story may not have created the concept, but it definitely is primary in the scary clown canon. Listen to this episode to confront your fears with us.
