Reel Spoilers - Movie Reviews

There were movies that weren’t 'Finding Dory' that opened this weekend, but you’d be hard pressed to tell by looking at the box office numbers. 'Central Intelligence' does OK, meanwhile 'Now You See Me 2,' 'Warcraft,' 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' and 'Conjuring 2' are in free fall.

'Now You See Me 2' – Do you like movies about magic but hate how they get bogged down in magic? Then are you in for a treat! Was it dumb fun or just dumb? You’ll know for sure after we spend an hour deconstructing the film. And by “deconstructing” we mean “hating.”Also, Dan has a Video Recovery that you can use to cleanse your palate. It’s Reel Spoilers 192: 'Now You See Me 2.' You’ve been warned....

Dan inadvertently does a live spot for Six Flags, Joe regales us with tales of his video game prowess, and Tom & Dan enlighten Joe as to the racist history of Phil Collins and Genesis. We also talk about the box office numbers. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows'… allow us to be the first to point out that they never actually exit in said shadows. And it’s all downhill from there. The film starts stupid and gets stupider. Tom and Dan have no childhood nostalgia for TMNT, but that didn’t help Kevin and Michael much. Plus, Dan has a Video Recovery that is mercifully turtle free. It’s Reel Spoilers 190: 'Teen...

This week 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows' tops a weak box office. Joe is out but Michael Haffner returns. We talk about the X-Men billboard controversy, why 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' is tanking, and what exactly constitutes an "Old Timey Reference."It’s Reel Spoilers 189: Box Office Report (6/3 - 6/5).

This episode is coming from an undisclosed location. Tom will explain why. Tom and Dan descend into an Old Timey Reference free-for-all with solo David Lee Roth stories. Plus, we discuss 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' and why it was so boring. And we ask the controversial question…is 'Willy Wonka' really a classic?

We discuss the director's path back to the mainstream, Tom corrects Joe on automotive parts, Kevin tries to land a pun, and Dan has a Video Recovery. It’s Reel Spoilers 186: 'The Nice Guys.'

We start the show with a Love Boat reference and it’s all downhill from there. Orlandez Lewis from Vintage Vinyl joins us for the third time… wait, that didn’t come out right. Tom and Dan educate the younger ones on the fact that ER was a pale imitation of St. Elsewhere, we have new iTunes reviews, new messages and Tom tells us about the time he almost got kicked out of Six Flags...

‘Money Monster‘ is the movie du jour starring George Clooney and Julia Roberts, and directed by Jodie Foster. Clooney stars as “not Jim Kramer” from MSNBC’s ‘Mad Money.’ And Julia Roberts turns in another performance that appears to have been filmed on the rest of the cast’s day off. It’s a movie so riveting that Tom plays Candy Crush and leaves to pee… twice. Hopefully the podcast is more interes...

Disney is making money hand over fist this week with three pictures in the top ten. Plus, we almost sound smart for a second when we discuss Tesla vs. Edison. But fear not, we still have time to hate on Batman v Superman. It’s Reel Spoilers 183: 'Money Monster' Box Office Report. You’ve been warned.

You can take your solstice and cram it. We all know when summer really starts... 'Captain America: Civil War.' Matt Reedy sticks it out for another episode as we all gush over the latest MCU installment... Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we’re joined by artist extraordinaire Matt Reedy. No shockers at the box office this week as the nerd-verse willingly tithed to the MCU. And a fight almost breaks out as Tom achieves a rare trifecta by making a Monkees reference, a sports reference and (wait for it)… a WWE reference. It’s like we don’t even know who he is anymore... Well, except for The Monkees stuff. If you listen caref...

Joe is very excited about the show having reached the 180 mark. We have to gently inform him that 180 is not a milestone. We discuss sodas of yesteryear and at some point we also talk about Key & Peel’s feature length debut 'Keanu' -which reminds Joe of 'Hot Fuzz' and reminds Tom of Bob Hope... of course. It’s Reel Spoilers 180: 'Keanu.' You’ve been warned. Support this show http://supporter.acast...

We finally make it through an episode without a WWE reference from Joe. Which can only mean one thing... Tom talked about The Monkees. Also, Zootopia is closing in on a billion dollars and Batman v Superman is somehow still in the top ten. Plus, Julia Roberts once killed a hobo and Gary Marshall has it on film. That’s the only reason we can come up with for her starring in yet another holiday them...

It’s the prequel/sequel no one demanded – 'The Huntsman: Winter’s War.'Chris Hemsworth is back, Kristen Stewart is not. On paper that seems like good news. But films aren’t on paper, are they? Also, we teach Joe the difference between Noah and Moses, Tom and Dan regale us with tales of scamming video arcades, and we almost are forced to buy a farm to generate enough chicken noises for the episode....

We’re joined this week by Michael Haffner, film critic for Alive Magazine and We Are Movie Geeks. Many important things are learned this week, such as: how movies get their subtitles, why Disney’s Magic Bands are a little bit creepy, and Tom explains how oldies radio works.

Jon Favreau gives us his take on 'The Jungle Book,' and we give you our take on his take. Plus, we try to stop Joe from making a wrestling reference (you can guess how well that goes), we discuss Disney’s straight-to-home-video sequels and Tom sings 'Chaka Khan.'It’s Reel Spoilers 176: 'The Jungle Book.'

Which makes more sense for movies – pee bags or catheters? It’s a heated discussion. But not as heated as our discussion of sex symbols of yesteryear. Plus, Tom & Dan pull out the creepiest Old Timey Reference ever as they regale us with tales of anatomically correct dolls. Man, the ‘70s were weird. All this plus 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' keeps dropping like a rock. It’s Reel Spoilers 1...

We took a week off after Batman v Superman knocked the wind out of us. But we’re back! This week Justin Staggs from Answers.com joins us. And you’ll get yet another “Old Timey Reference” from Tom, musings about why 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' didn’t succeed as a sitcom and forgotten film-based cartoon properties.

It's part two of our 'Batman v Superman' extravaganza. Has it gotten any better? Ummm… no. It’s still the same movie. But there too much “suck” to be contained in one episode.

In the beginning there was 'Man of Steel.' And by “in the beginning” we mean our very first episode. This week we return to the scene of the cinematic crime for 'Batman v Superman.' And it’s a doozy.
