  • City Lights - Rant #19
    Hello Rantaineers! We have our first silent film episode for you with Justine's pick City Lights. We get really loud in this one, discussing stuff like antisemitism, capitalism, socialism, and a couple other "ism's"! Shout out to Justine for being such a big fan of the show, we found her lurking around our recording studio windows, and felt compelled to put a microphone in front of her and see what would happen. Also shout out to Justine's friend Chelsea for letting us continually refer to her paper discussing City Lights! We discuss shows like Sex in the City, and The West Wing. Breandan also gives a quick little discussion about the new film by Alex Garland (the director of Ex Machina) Annihilation. Enjoy the show!
    Next week's episode we will be discussing the 90's action classic starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Sandra Bullock, Demolition Man. - "Send a maniac to catch one."

  • Saving Private Ryan - Rant #16
    Hello Rantaineers! This week on the Podcast we have the "Legendary Actor Dude Guy" Nolan, with his film of the week choice Saving Private Ryan. Nolan in his spare time reads text books about the World War's, and galavanting around on a stage shouting lines at an audience, or some may say innocent by standers. This episode is full of personality, but it also gets quite serious at points. Films, or shows, we discussed on the podcast this week were Fred Armisen: Standup For Drummers, Ingrid Goes West, Cloverfield, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and The Cloverfield Paradox. Hope you enjoy!
    Side Note: We mention the term "Space Opera" in this episode a couple times. Click "Here" for more information or context of what we were trying to get at in this episode.
    Next week's episode we will be dicussing Wes Anderson's film Fantastic Mr. Fox. - "Here, put this bandit hat on."

  • Pickups - Rant #15
    Hello Rantaineers! So We know we said this bonus episode wouldn't come out for a bit, but we lied. We hope you can forgive us! Anyways...The Reel Rant Crew and special guest Matt Herring (Twitter Link - Instagram Link) received the opportunity to go to the Victoria Film Festival this year to see Jamie Thraves, Phil Bowman, and Aidan Gillen's film Pickups (Trailer Link). We were also able to speak to these gentlemen after the film concluded. We discuss the film at great lengths in this one, and we would hate to ruin that discussion in this little summary write up! So just listen with those ears and enjoy our Reel Rant!
    - Special thanks to the Victoria Film Festival and The Martlet for helping us make this episode happen!
    Also don't forget about next week's episode where we discuss Steven Spielberg's film Saving Private Ryan. - "James, earn this..."

Legzz film choice this week is Logan Lucky, or the southern version of Ocean's 11. We get into a bit of a discussion about the differences between the show Vikings and Game of Thrones, which then leads into a conversation of between the differences of The Walking Dead TV show and the comic book. We mention the upcoming HBO Watchmen Series and the early reception of Marvel's Black Panther film. Other films and tv shows we discussed were Grace and Franky, Sing Street, and (Breandan's newer favourite film) A Ghost Story!

  • Snatch - Rant #12
    Hello Rantaineers! We have a special episode for you this week! Not that any of the other episodes aren't special. This one you might say is chill. Like "chill" as in cool. Just a couple of cool dudes talking into microphones! Well two cool dudes including the guest, because unfortunately the illustrious sexy boi Corey McEwen couldn't make it this week. So that means it's just Breandan and his big brother Ben a.k.a. Big Ben (like the clock from that place where everyone talks a bit fancy). Ben spends his spare time traveling the world and pointing at buildings that look cool, finding inspiration from them, and then creating his own design out of Lego and a hot glue gun. He's a trained Architect basically is what we are trying to say. He's kind of a "big" deal (hence the name Big Ben). He owns quite a few leather bound books lets just say. If you're still reading this and wondering why this write up is so elaborate, it's due to the fact we really only talk about Big Ben's film pick this week Snatch. That's it. We wanted to meet a similar paragraph length as we do most weeks. You know? Keep things consistent. Think this should be good though. Enjoy the show!
    Next week's episode we discuss Paul McGuigan film Lucky Number Slevin, with our guest Matt Herring!
