The Saturday Matinée by The Next Reel Film Podcasts

Steve goes to Meow Wolf. Neill Blomkamp on YouTube. Tough week for trailers, but we found some gems. Plus, a journey down the social commentary rathole through mostly science fiction.

Andy and Steve talk dark school stories and a list full of movies that transformed an actor’s career… one way or another!

Another great Saturday Matinee with a chance to talk movies for all of our wonderful Patreon supporters out there. After chatting about movies we’ve been watching, we dig into our trailers - a horror remake with an amazing look and another adaptation from Barry Jenkins with some more heavy emotional drama. Then we dig in to our Man Vs. Computer lists to celebrate our epic conversation about 2001.

Pete and Steve wrap up the summer break with a list of movies set in sweat — it’s our favorite films in summer heat! Plus, Steve shares his review of The Endless and Pete dives into Downsizing before both of them head out for MI:Fallout!

Pete’s in Phoenix and that means the guys are together for the first time in… ever… recording face-to-face. Yeah, I guess it’s kind of a big deal? Anyway, they talk about two great trailers and one weird one, and then — because of a split vote — they each take on a list of summer movies that will take you on vacation, to the beach, where you’ll run for your stinking lives. Enjoy!

Andy gets a chance to catch us up on Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Pete's finally finished The Strain. Ethan Hawke is still working, and a new Invisible Man film promises all the horror you can take in a family-friendly comedy. Plus, we wax nostalgic about Zemeckis and Michael B. Jordan gets hit which gives us this line: "Dolf Lundgren hit me so hard he put me in the hospital for four days."

Andy’s diving into the Marvel TV universe so we talk Agents of SHIELD, Cloak & Dagger, and more genre stuff in the HDR Hero-verse. Ethan Hawke is still the busiest man in entertainment with one of our trailer picks this week.

Andy’s latest watchlist: every movie that Steve’s ever spoken of. Pete finally saw DP2 and O8’s on deck. O12 is as divisive as ever as we gear up for O13. Plus a surprisingly good list of movies with great train heists, or in Steve’s case, movies in proximity to trains.

Remember NC-17? Yeah, we’ve broken that and now we can’t have nice things without 7-year-olds in the theater for Dead Pool 2. Steve checked out Hotel Artemis … so that’s a thing. And there are seven bars in which you can drink in two US states at the same time. So that’s also a thing. Finally, there is, as it turns out, a “Star Is Born” Cinematic Universe.
