Jesse and Michael review the new movie Renfield, with a pretty star-studded cast and a different approach to some classic characters in the Dracula story. With over-the-top violence and even more over-the-top acting from the great face actor Nicolas Cage. Let them know what you think about the podcast: hitthereelpodcast@gmail.com.

Jesse gives us another wrestling update, and this one is a doozy. It looks like our least favorite dye job control freak, Vince McMahon, is cutting some deal. What will be the fate of the WWE? Can McMahon give up the controlling power of this company? Plus an update on CM Punk and some other wrestling drama. Let them know what you think about the podcast: hitthereelpodcast@gmail.com.

Well, another season of the Bad Batch. Did it get better? Is it less "meh"? The short answer is no. The long answer is the podcast. Between the two, it is about the same as last season. However, it is still kinda worth the watch. Let them know what you think about the podcast: hitthereelpodcast@gmail.com. Support Hit the Reel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hitthereelpodcast.

Jesse and Michael discuss their thoughts on the HBO adaptation of the popular game Last of Us. This could be the best Viedo Game adaptation into live-action media they have seen. It is impressive to see how much care and reverence were paid to the original story that so many cared about. Why is that so hard to do?

Last week Michael was out of town on a work trip, so to keep it easy, Michael talks with Jesse about a very high-level overview of the Warhammer 40k IP. Covering the different factions and talking very little about the history of the 40k universe. Wrapping up with some short thoughts on what might come of the Henry Cavill and Amazon Studios' partnership. Let them know what you think about the...

To kick off the start of Season 3 of the podcast, Jesse and Michael have Kevin and Patrick on to play the game Um, Actually, which is a game all about correcting incorrect statements about a wide range of nerdy topics. Who will win and be the pedantic champion of correcting?   Let them know what you think about the podcast: hitthereelpodcast@gmail.com. Support Hit the Reel on Patreon: https:/...

Jesse and Michael are discussing the new Ant-man movie, which left them with extreme emotional and elevated mood swings. This is a B movie, and they are not just saying that to make an insect pun, and it is the middle of the road for an MCU movie. Find out what the boys thought the highs and the lows were.  Let them know what you think about the podcast: hitthereelpodcast@gmail.com. Support H...

A solo episode with just Michael sharing his thoughts on Velma, the newest (maybe the worst) addition to the deep and wide cartilage that is the Scoody Do franchise. He is waiting on the final episode to be and giving time for emotions to cool on this one. He wants a less heated reaction like the rest of the internet. Not saying he thinks this is an excellent addition to the Doo-a-verse. This show...

This week Michael talks with Jesse if he should get a Steam Deck, and start his corruption into the world of PC Gaming.

On this very special episode of Hit The Reel, Michael takes us way way back to the early 2000s when some creative types thought up a show, Clone High. Unfortunately, they could not make it past season one and got canceled, so they cried. Now those creative types are successful directors and are making because they tried, so we are getting a season two. We are now loving, learning, sharing, judging...

It is another smackdown, all-elite and raw episode about one of Jesse's favorite topics: the zany world of Professional Wrestling. It has been a while since Jesse updated Michael on what is happening in the wrestling world, and it seems to be taking place mainly outside the ring. They talk about the rod-rage old white elephant in the room, Vince McMahon. As well as following up on the CM punk dram...

Catching up on the MCU, Jesse and Michael discuss She-Hulk: Attorney at Law this week. Is it just the same as all the other new additions to the MCU in Phase 4, or is it something that can hook the boys back into caring about the MCU? They also talk a little about the show's detractors from particular corners of the internet.  Let them know what you think about the podcast: hitthereelpodcast@...

Michael and Jesse spend a little time talking about the merger that has given us Warner Bros. Discovery. Touching on how we have gotten here, what they are currently doing, and what this might mean for the future of the stuff we watch. Corporate America seems to be taking what we love and crapping it out.  Let them know what you think about the podcast: hitthereelpodcast@gmail.com. Suppo...

Jesse and Michael run down some of the entertainment coming down the pipeline in 2023. Some of them are excited to see it, and some are excited to see it because of how bad it will probably be. From TV, Movies, and some Video Games sprinkled in, they cover almost everything they might cover over the year.  Let them know what you think about the podcast: hitthereelpodcast@gmail.com.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Jesse told Michael he wanted to do an episode on adaptations of the classic Christmas Carol, and Michael was on board because he could talk more about The Muppets Christmas Carol. So they talk about the mass number of adaptations of this hundred-and-fifty-plus-year-old book. This episode is not just special because it is coming out on Christmas, but it is also t...

A good Star Wars addition that has nothing to do with The Force or is animated? Can it be so? A journey into the time before Luke almost stabbed himself in the face with an elegant, after-sand hate, and well before the death of many Bothans. We are shown the infancy of the rebellion and the introduction of one of its top agents Cassian Andor, in his self-titled show Andor. This is what we want fun...

Michael and Jesse have finally seen Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. First, this movie does a great job of being a loving farewell to the late Chadwick Boseman and his character T'Challa. However, who will pick up the black mantle and lead the nation of Wakanda against a previously unknown threat? Will this be an Iron Man 2, or will it be a Thor 2? Listen in a find what the boys think.  Let th...

So first off, this episode should have been released on 12/3, but for some reason, it did not. On top of the edited file got corrupted, so that had to be redone. What does that mean for you, listener? You get two episodes this week; enjoy.  Michael and Jesse are joined by Natalie this week to cover those little freaks we all love, the Big Mouth gang. Again this season asks hard questions that...

In a bid to have Sir Jesse move up watching the show Andor, Sir Michael did something that he thought he would do only under the pain of death. Watch the HBO series House of the Dragon. Be warned, faithful listeners, this episode is brought to you on the wings of Ravens, and black wings seldom bring good reviews.  Let them know what you think about the podcast: hitthereelpodcast@gmail.com.&nb...
