Hi everybody!  Welcome to another installment of the Reel Film Nerds!  If you stop reading here we understand this week’s movie is a giant let down.  Our review this week is Hotel Artemis and boy is it a load of crap.  The trailer, the cast, and the action looked amazing but as you can tell it is not a good movie.  Go ahead and listen to the podcast anyways Matt and Mike explain why it is so bad.  We also talk about our next reviews coming up and a whole bunch of other fun stuff.  It is too bad the idea of this movie was really cool too. Mike and Matt both were disappointed in this film.  The acting was great, the sets were well done, and the premise was great, but they story just flat out sucked.  Mike gave Hotel Artemis a 2 out of 5 Reels and Matt gave it a similar rating with 2.5 Reels.  Thank you again for listening and we will chat at you real soon!  If you have a film you would like to hear Matt and Mike review please Facebook message us, Instagram message us, or email us at nerds@reelfilmnerds.com

Sit back relax and grab a pint at the ol’ Winchester and enjoy our review of Shaun of the Dead!

Welcome back nerds and nerdettes!  In episode 15 Matt and Mike review the video game based movie Rampage.  No one wrote in like always to suggest what we review this week so Mike picked Rampage based on his love obsession with The Rock.  Matt gives a little insight about how the film relates to the 1986 video game that he loved, and the movie is based on.  Mike talks a little bit about his favorite hobby scuba and why Rampage is a good popcorn movie. Mike liked Rampage but not that much and gave it 2 out of 5 Reels.  Matt really did not like Rampage as whole but did enjoy a few parts and characters.  For some reason Mike enjoyed this film more than Matt but Matt’s rating is higher at 2.5 out of 5 Reels, explain that one.  Thank you again for listening and we will chat at you next week!

Episode 9 is a bit of a format change for us.  Mike is away working and attending a wedding, so Matt brought in our first guest and host of sister podcast The Mile High Show, Matt Santos.  Coincidentally it is also the first in our Legacy series of podcasts.  What’s Legacy you say well I will tell you.  Legacy is any film not currently in the box office at the time of the that episodes recording.  Typically, it will be at least a few years old but not always.  What was our pick for the first Legacy cast a nice gem of a classic Pee-wee's Big Adventure! Did we really talk almost an hour about Pee-Wee, no.  When the two Matt’s get together things typically get off topic very quickly.  Topics included baseball, photography, drive-in’s, Matt S’s Mom, and Citizen Kane.  This was a fun one to record but might not be a fun one to listen to.  If you skip it, we would understand. Matt S. gave Pee-wee's Big Adventure a 3.5 out of 5 Reels and your lone host and Matt gave it a 4 out of 5 Reels because he is super nostal
