The Reel Thing for November 22, 2016

-Fans of Harry Potter were thankful that the number one movie last weekend was Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them (beating the previous champ, Doctor Strange). Although, based on Chris’ assessment, the movie may not have been as fantastic as you might think….

-We also review other releases we’ve seen recently, including the better-than-expected kids’ movie Trolls and the latest from Denis Villenueve, Arrival.

-Time to head back to HBO’s Westworld to see if we still give a damn about this show (we do) and if there are any issues with the show at this point and moving forward (there are, but nothing that can’t be fixed).

#FINALLY, Mark takes on one of Chris’s staples for a good movie, the Coen Brothers’ gangster classic, Miller’s Crossing

-Let us give thanks for the patrons of The Reel Thing, as we recap a bounty of movies centered around the Thanksgiving holiday for you and yours to enjoy (and Chris may even have his own movie to #FINALLY watch in the future!).

The Reel Thing: October 24, 2016

 

-You had to wait two weeks to hear us…OH THE HORROR! We talk the box office champ for these past weekends, which makes Mark wistful since we don’t have a true horror movie reigning supreme this month (no, you don’t count, Tyler Perry).

-Speaking of scary movies, Chris and Mark ask the question and discuss at length (OVER time, in fact, so we thank you for sticking with us past the hour mark): pick five movies that you would recommend to someone that isn’t a horror movie fan but you want to scare the shit out of them (and…AND….we each had ten different films we discuss!)

#FINALLY, Mark gets in the SPIRIT of the season and watches two appropriately themed movies for the first time: Halloween and A Nightmare On Elm Street

-We wrap up and discuss the latest season of the techno/horror anthology show Black Mirror, for when you stare at the abyss, the abyss stares back at you….Happy Halloween, ghouls and gals.

The Reel Thing for October 11, 2016

-We talk the numbers for the last two weeks at the box office. Congrats to Miss Peregrine and Girl On A Train (not so much The Birth Of A Nation), but does it really matter when we’ve got better things to watch at home?

-Speaking of which, all of you should take a trip to watch the new HBO series Westworld based on the recommendations of Chris and Mark seeing the first two episodes, but try not to watch Michael Crichton’s Runaway (unless Tom Servo & Crow T. Robot are with you).

-Mark gives his two cents on Luke Cage and is patiently waiting for some shit to go down (probably after episode 3).

-We talk about the Netflix documentary Amanda Knox, OJ: Made In America (since Chris finally saw it) and other docs worth your time to watch.
