Inside Out 2

Wed, 16 Oct 2024 21:38:12 +0000

PIXAR is at it again with another adventure where the only real villain is the simple challenges of life! Joy, Sadness, and the rest of the gang is back, but this time, they're accompanied by some new emotions, and they could not have picked a worse week to move in. Riley has Hockey Camp to think about! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll relive horrific memories of puberty.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Fri, 03 May 2024 20:00:00 +0000

If I had a nickel for every time a Hogwarts student was influenced to commit some worrisome acts due to a book they found, I have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Anyway, some people love this movie, some people hate this movie, but everyone should at lease have an opinion! I mean, c'mon, Dumbledore forces a man to stop being a chair! It may not be perfect, but it's got some great stuff!

Dune 1 & 2

Tue, 16 Apr 2024 06:00:00 +0000

We're finally doing it! We're covering the Dune movies! You've seen 'em. You've loved 'em. If you didn't you're weird and we hate you. These movies are glorious and Denis Villeneuve deserves our never ending gratitude and praise! I haven't been this excited about CGI sand since Spider-man 3. I haven't cared this much about a giant worm since that episode of Spongebob. I haven't been this in love with seeing something in black and white since Harvey! These movies are INCREDIBLE!

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

Wed, 27 Mar 2024 06:00:00 +0000

The ghostbusters are at it again, and not just the founding members, but the new crew as well. It's a full team up cuz this icy jerk ain't going down without a fight. It's not perfect, but we had a lot of fun watching it. Definitely worth a watch!

Oscars 2024 Predictions

Sun, 10 Mar 2024 06:44:07 +0000

The Oscars are here, so right before we all find out who's winning and who's losing, we decided to take a quick minute or two, or 106, to go though how we felt about all the Oscar nominated films we were able to get around to seeing this year. Hop on instagram and let us know what you thought of the Oscar nominations this year.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Sat, 16 Dec 2023 23:34:56 +0000

We are continuing our series on Harry Potter! Our guests for this 2nd installment chose the 4th Harry Potter film as the one they wanted to cover, so we are looking at the Tri-Wizard Tournament! How do you like this one? How does it stack up against the rest?

Wish

Sat, 09 Dec 2023 16:37:53 +0000

The new animated movie from Disney is a celebration of their 100 year legacy of magic through animation and storytelling! A lot of negativity has been directed at it so far, but we're here to say, not everyone feels that way! It may not be perfect, but there's a lot here to enjoy! What did you think?

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Sat, 28 Oct 2023 20:02:13 +0000

"Yer' a wizard, 'Arry." We are kickin' off the most magical franchise we've covered yet! Although we won't necessarily be covering them in chronological order, we are starting with the first film. Each movie in the franchise will feature 1 or 2 guests of ours, and we're letting the guests pick the movie! Let us know what your thoughts are on the Harry Potter franchise as well as this first film in particular.

Killers of the Flower Moon

Fri, 20 Oct 2023 18:00:00 +0000

The newest film from director Martin Scorsese. It is, without a doubt, going to be a major contender at the Oscars this year. The historic tale of murders that were able to be left unchecked, unchallenged and uninvestigated for years due to bigotry and greed. What did you think? Was a 3 1/2 hour runtime too long?

Summer 2023 Wrap-up

Sat, 16 Sep 2023 00:50:14 +0000

The Reel Couple has been BUSY this summer! We saw a ton of movies these last few months! Most of them have luckily been really great, but if we're being honest with ourselves, there's been some crap, too. We're taking a walk down memory lane as we review every new release we saw this summer. It's a bit of a long one, but there's a lot to talk about. What did you guys think?

Joy Ride

Fri, 07 Jul 2023 23:50:25 +0000

4 asian american women travel to China for a business trip that could have been a zoom meeting. But before they know it, they've gotten themselves caught up in a wacky adventure that so desperately wants to be considered funny. Unfortunately, writing crude humor still requires some skill, and this movie didn't quite have enough. It wants to feel like the Hangover trilogy, with the female cast of Bridesmaids, and with the cultural awareness of Crazy Rich Asians, but instead it feels like and hour and a half we'll never get back

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Sat, 01 Jul 2023 21:06:12 +0000

Indy is back for one final adventure! A final send off to the best archeologist we've ever loved! And we are relieved to admit, we really dug it! Now, with that said, it's not quite perfect. And it led to a pretty heated argument. The Reel Couple really gets into it in this one! BUCKLE UP!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 05:49:49 +0000

Indy's getting older, and unfortunately, his days of swinging from vines with monkeys are behind him. But don't you worry, Spielberg thought of everything! That's why he invited a shiny, young Shia LaBeouf along for the ride. Although, by the end of this movie, just like Cate Blanchett, we too felt we were having our eyes burned out of our faces, we still stuck it out and we watched to the end. And we did it for you! And we'd do it again! We just really don't want to. Please don't ask us to sit through this again! PLEASE!!!

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Sat, 17 Jun 2023 23:03:31 +0000

What can we say that hasn't already been said? Hopefully something, I mean, we said a whole bunch! There must be at least one thing in here that no one's talking about. We LOVED this movie.... obviously! It's one of those movies that took on the impossible task of living up to its predecessor film, and proceeded to somehow be even better! But what did YOU think of this work of art? Let us know on our instagram!

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 04:40:52 +0000

If you ever made the choice to watch this movie, then you have chosen..... Wisely. This movie is great! It's got something for everyone! Father/son bonding, Sean Connery scaring birds, nazis getting beaten in hilarious are humiliating ways, christianity themed booby traps! What's not to love?!?!

Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 3

Sat, 10 Jun 2023 22:33:55 +0000

GUYS!!!! There's a new MCU movie out, but it's actually FANTASTIC!!!! So good, in fact, that BOTH members of the Reel Couple got emotional! Not just during the movie, there were sone water works while recording the episode too! Don't believe me? Listen in and here Dallas get VERY choked up!

Fast X

Sat, 10 Jun 2023 20:56:49 +0000

Another installation in the Fast Saga! Can you believe it?!?! It's Crazy! It's over the top! It's absolutely ridiculous from beginning to end! And with all that said, at least one of us actually really enjoyed it! Jason Mamoa was easily the best part. But what did you think? Let us know on instagram @the.reel.couple

The Little Mermaid (2023)

Sat, 10 Jun 2023 19:59:47 +0000

Disney is at it again with another live action remake of one of their classics! This time they're coming for the fish girl and her little friends, too! We had a lot to say about this one, mostly negative, but what did you think of it? Let us know on instagram @the.reel.couple

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Sat, 10 Jun 2023 16:57:19 +0000

Let's face it, Ke Huy Quan is doing all the heavy lifting in this movie.You can't help but love him in this breakout performance! Almost everything else, we could easily help but love it. But what do you think of the first theatrical chronological Indy adventure? Let us know on Instagram @the.reel.couple

Raiders of the Lost Arc

Sat, 03 Jun 2023 02:52:45 +0000

Starting our watch through of the Indiana Jones series leading up to Dial of Destiny, we kicked it off with the O.G. The 1981 classic staring Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, John Rhys-Davies, and Paul Freeman! This movie still holds up so well. Charming characters, impressive use of practical effects, and face-melting nazis. What's not to love?!?!

Shazam: Fury of the Gods

Fri, 28 Apr 2023 14:01:41 +0000

Is this movie good? No. But, was it at least funny? Almost not at all. However, did it make sure to be am exciting entry in an universe that is soon coming to an end? Also no. You get the picture. We were very underwhelmed by this new installment, but what did you guys think?

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 01:44:57 +0000

Woo-hoo! This movie was fun! That's just the best word to describe it. Fun for the whole entire family! The colorful, its exciting, it's funny, and it's based on characters and games we all grew up playing. What's not to love??? Do yourself a favor, grab the kids, grab the spouse, go see it, go home, and have an awesome game night together afterwards. Now here's to hoping Illumination Studios builds out a Super Smash Bros Cinematic Universe!

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 01:32:36 +0000

Paramount Pictures rolled really well on this one! Are you a long-time fan of D&D? Then go see this! Have you never played D&D once in your entire life and don't know the first thing about the game? Then go see this! It's fun for everyone! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cheer, you'll want to shapeshift into an owl-bear.

John Wick: Chapter 4

Thu, 30 Mar 2023 06:00:00 +0000

The world's greatest dog dad is back again! This final installment has more nunchucks, more flaming shotgun shells, and more blind people than in any other John Wick film to date! It's got everything you could want! We loved it. You'll love it. Your mom's hair stylist loves it! It's John Wick! It's part of your balanced breakfast!

The Last of Us Season 1

Fri, 17 Mar 2023 06:00:00 +0000

HBO has yet another jaw-droppingly good show and, as per usual, it will flay your soul! Well written characters, stunning visuals, incredible performances. You name it, this show's got it.... except for happy, uplifting moments. But if you want to be happy, what're you doing on HBO?!?!

Women Talking

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 22:00:58 +0000

Content Warning! This episode discusses some very adult content and concepts and listener discretion may be advised. WE DID IT! We watched EVERY! SINGLE! Best Picture Nominee and recorded and episode for each one! This movie was HEAVY! Very well done, but hard to watch none the less.

Turning Red

Thu, 02 Mar 2023 00:31:00 +0000

Not a best picture nominee, but it is a best animated nominee. Very controversial, for very stupid reasons! Girl turns into a giant red panda! Chill out! What did you think?

The Fabelmans

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 05:12:55 +0000

The loose retelling of the childhood of Steven Spielberg, The Fabelmans is the story of a young boy who falls in love with movies and movie making while having to travers the difficult waters of a very complicated family. Nominated for Best Picture and so many others, and it's not hard to understand why!

Ant-Man & Wasp: Quantumania

Thu, 23 Feb 2023 23:36:23 +0000

The newest Marvel movie is out, and the Reel Couple had GUEST STARS!!! The audio is a bit rough, but we had a lot of fun recording with friends! And we also dug the movie a whole bunch.

Triangle of Sadness

Fri, 17 Feb 2023 13:00:00 +0000

"You who's the worst? THE RICH" said the rich. It's a bizarrely pretentious film maybe trying to satirically criticize the social elite, or maybe trying to be an absurd comedy about the repercussions of our own actions? Or maybe it's trying to be something else entirely. Who knows? We don't! But we still watched it, we still talked about it, and it still got nominated for best picture!

Tar

Thu, 16 Feb 2023 13:00:00 +0000

HICCUPS! And also we talk about a best picture nominee. But mostly there are hiccups. Cate Blanchett is great, sure. The rest of the film is.... forgettable? Unfortunate, but true if you as us.

Top Gun: Maverick

Fri, 10 Feb 2023 00:26:04 +0000

Do you like Tom Cruise? Do you like fighter jets? Do you like mustaches? Do you like seeing the same trailer for a movie every time you go to the theater for almost 3 years? Then Top Gun: Maverick is for YOU! Fantastic movie, it'll have you on the edge of your seat. And thanks to the Academy, we're talking about it because it got a Best Picture nomination!

Elvis

Wed, 08 Feb 2023 21:02:27 +0000

Baz Luhrmann is at it again. This time telling the tale of the life, times, and iconic career of Elvis Presley. While it was certainly... interesting to watch, The Reel Couple can't quite say it was enjoyable to watch. What did you think?

Banshees of Inisherin

Fri, 03 Feb 2023 21:54:54 +0000

It's nominated for Best Picture. Unfortunately, the Reel Couple doesn't understand the hype. Is it good? Arguable. Does it has good elements? Definitely! Does it deserve Best Picture? Hell NO! It shouldn't even have gotten that nomination! Anyways, do you agree with us? Head on over to our instagram page and let us know! @the.reel.couple

All Quiet on the Western Front

Thu, 02 Feb 2023 23:10:34 +0000

A great film that neither of us want to see again. This Netflix exclusive is one of the best war films we've ever seen, but it is one of the most painful to watch war films as well. Definitely deserving of all of its Academy Award nominations.

Del Toro's Pinocchio

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 23:56:59 +0000

Adolescent murder has never paired so nicely with adolescent resurrection! This movie has something for everyone! Creepy monkeys, creepy aquatic life forms, creepy characters voiced by Christoph Waltz, Fascism, a wooden boy, etc. Fun for the whole family, as long as the whole family doesn't include very young children. Seriously though, it's really really good!

Everything Everywhere All at Once

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 21:24:02 +0000

This was quite the mind trip! Quite possibly the craziest plot line of a movie to be receiving so much Oscar contender predictions. We loved it, did you? Also, stick around to the end to hear our Academy Award predictions, gripes, speculations, etc.

Crazy Stupid Love

Thu, 12 Jan 2023 23:26:09 +0000

Another audience request! This week the reel couple watched on of the better "chick flicks" out there. Have you seen this one? Did ya like it? But did you like that one scene? What about that other scene?

Cats

Fri, 06 Jan 2023 00:27:05 +0000

Our listeners made a request, and we listened........ Much to our chagrin! This movie is painful, but we love you guys, so we did it for you. Enjoy our suffering.

Terminator: Dark Fate

Thu, 29 Dec 2022 20:03:56 +0000

We did it, Patrick! We finished the Terminator series! It's had its ups, and its had its downs. Fortunately, we feel like it ended on an up. What do you think of the final installment of the terminator franchise from Deadpool director Tim Miller?

Avatar: The Way of Water

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 23:57:17 +0000

The sequel is finally here boy is there a lot to talk about! We understand if you need to take a bathroom break mid way through! We promise we tried to keep it as short as possible!

AVATAR

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 18:36:48 +0000

The Reel Couple gets into it! We've been wanting to talk about this one for a LONG time! And what better time than right now when the whole world is talking about Pandora again? [A bit more language than usual, just FYI]

Terminator: Genesys

Sat, 17 Dec 2022 00:00:52 +0000

We're getting close to the end of the Terminator saga! Today we're looking at the installment that jumps around on the timeline like it's a trampoline! Have you seen it? If so, you're one of the few. But let us know if you agree or disagree with our assessment of this one!

Terminator Salvation

Thu, 08 Dec 2022 23:33:05 +0000

We finally get to pull back the curtains on Judgement Day and see the War against humans and machines! There's no way this could possibly disappoint....... or is there??? Have you seen the 4th Terminator film? If so, what are your thoughts?

Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 22:24:47 +0000

OUCH! The Reel Couple sat through the third (and so far most disappointing) installment in the Terminator franchise! Did it hurt? Yup! Could it have been worse? Probably. Have you seen it? Hopefully. Will you listen to this episode? YOU BETTER!

enjoy.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day

Fri, 18 Nov 2022 00:37:16 +0000

One of the all time greatest Sci-Fi Action adventure films of all time! Aren't you interested in hearing the Reel Couple's thoughts on such an incredible film?!?! Well then take a listen!

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever & Kevin Conroy's Passing

Sat, 12 Nov 2022 21:04:43 +0000

The Reel Couple went and saw the newest installment to the Marvel universe and wanted to let you know how good it is! Also, this week we were absolutely heartbroken to hear of the passing of legendary voice actor Kevin Conroy and we take a few minutes up front to discuss his many performances as the caped crusader. Kevin Conroy, you will be missed by so many.

The Terminator

Thu, 10 Nov 2022 22:05:55 +0000

Is it a bit dated? Maybe a bit. Is it a classic? Absolutely! Does it stand the test of time? Depends on who you ask! The Reel Couple is gonna tackle the Terminator franchise! Tune in for the kick off!

Hotel Transylvania Trilogy

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 17:58:43 +0000

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! In this new episode the Reel Couple is talking about not 1, not even 2, but 3 WHOLE MOVIES! It's insane! But this was really fun and let us know what you think of these movies in the comment section of our Instagram post

Young Frankenstein

Fri, 28 Oct 2022 21:51:09 +0000

The Reel Couple Real Spooky Octoberthon continues! This week, they're talking about an absolute classic from comedy legends Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder! We laughed, we cried (from all the laughing), and then we laughed some more! Have you seen it? Hop on over to our Instagram post and let us know your thoughts!

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 20:33:08 +0000

Look out everybody! Dallas and Paige finally disagree on something, and they disagree HARD! Who do you side with? Dallas or Paige? Could you believe that final episode?!?!?!

The Blair Witch Project

Thu, 20 Oct 2022 18:40:54 +0000

Holy Halloween Season, Batman! This is one terrifying f&#%ing movie, bro! Have you seen it? How well did you handle it? Were you closer to Dallas's reaction or Paige's reaction? Did you see it in the theater? Or in the comfort and safety of your own home like we did? Let us know in the comments on our instagram post!

John Carpenter's The Thing

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 21:20:56 +0000

We finally got around to watching one of the true classic scary movies of the 80's. Dallas has been a huge fan of this for years. But what did Paige think of it? Do you find it scary? Do you think we get sidetracked too easily? OH WELL!

Beetlejuice

Thu, 06 Oct 2022 20:49:36 +0000

An oldy but a goodie! The Reel Couple kicks off the month of October with a classic not-so-scary spooky flick! Have you seen Beetlejuice before? (Most probably) Well give us a listen and see if you agree with our breakdown.

Thor: Love and Thunder

Sun, 24 Jul 2022 21:52:00 +0000

It's been out for a minute, but we just wanted to marinate on our thoughts so that we really knew how we felt about this one. And now we're ready to tell you all what we thought of Thor's 4th solo film.

Morbius

Fri, 15 Apr 2022 20:48:36 +0000

IT'S OUR 10th EPISODE!!!! The new installation to Sony's Universe of Marvel Characters (that's really what their universe is called) has been the talk of the internet the last few weeks! But what did the Reel Couple think of it? Did we like it? Did we hate it? Do we just hope everyone involved had a lot of fun? FIND OUT!

Spider-Man: No Way Home

Fri, 24 Dec 2021 06:07:05 +0000

Finally returning after a long hiatus, we saw the newest installment in the Spider-Man franchise. SO MANY thoughts! Everyone's talking about it, and we're no different. What Did you think? Hopefully you loved it just as much as we did!

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Mon, 06 Sep 2021 05:35:12 +0000

Snake Eyes
