Reel to Real with Jonathan and Gary Myers

No matter how you feel about Bob Dylan, you cannot deny his songwriting skill. In this episode, Gary discusses three songs that illustrate Dylan’s ability to create clever rhymes and tell stories with vivid, cinematic lyrics.

HOW DOES IT FEEL........ HOW DOES IT FEEL........ TO BE LISTENING........ TO ANOTHER EPISODE........ ABOUT A COMPLETE UNKNOWN...... uhhh LIKE A ROLLING STONE. I can't rhyme, it's not my gift, I confess. But yes, we are talking about James Mangold's biopic about Bob Dylan and why we think it shines. So kick back, put on some shades as we talk about one of music's greatest enigmas.

WE GOT TWINS....... TWINS!!!! Or, more accurately, we've got a two-for-one deal in this episode. That's right, we're covering the 1996 classic alongside this year's sequel (?). So buckle up and keep an eye on your cows...... it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

On today’s episode, Gary discusses “Question” by the Old 97s. It is a sweet, acoustic alt-country song about a question that you should ask or say “yes” to once in your life.

WE'RE BACK! It's been a minute, but we're here! And what better way to return than to discuss Sidney Lumet's timeless courtroom drama, 12 Angry Men! So sit down with us, as we discuss our love for a film about a bunch of men screaming at each other for 96 minutes (and it just might be the best film ever made).

Come with me, and you'll be in a world of pure imagination..... unless we're going to Panem. Join us for a truly bizarre crossover of two films that are all the rage right now at the box office, both of which happen to be origin stories for two very different characters. If you wanted to see us both sad and happy in the same episode, then you'll definitely want to tune in today.

Today Gary introduces a new occasional feature "Cinematic Songs." He discusses "The Maker" by Daniel Lanois. This beautiful and creative song evokes rich mental images with its redemptive story arc.

The philosophical ruminations of young shell. A sentence you probably thought you'd never hear, but it's the topic of our latest episode. Join us as we talk about this underrated indie film, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.

Today we talk about Martin Scorcese's latest epic, Killers of the Flower Moon. This film is based on a true story about a string of racially and financially motivated murders that occurred in Oklahoma during the 1920s. Listeners' discretion is advised.

Yeah, we're talking about all of them. Join us as we take a look at the franchise starring everyone's favorite archaeologist with questionable methods. Fair warning: no spoilers for Dial Destiny, but we do spoil the other four films.

Good morning.... and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight! For this episode, we talk about the hilarious (yet profoundly terrifying) film The Truman Show! A slight caution to fans of reality dating shows: you may not like to hear what we have to say.

Before making the global phenomenon that is Barbie, Greta Gerwig delivered quite possibly one of the most innovative literary adaptations of all time. Join us as we discuss our particular appreciation for the 6th cinematic retelling of the story of the March sisters.

You can practically see it from here..... the fourth episode of the Reel to Real podcast. Join us as we discuss our appreciation for Christopher Nolan's uniquely tense war thriller.

Time to open the pod bay doors into Reel to Real Episode 3, where we discuss Stanley Kubrick's 1968 magnum opus that is 2001: A Space Odyssey, along with its shockingly lasting cultural relevance.

For episode 2, we will discuss our appreciation of the 2019 film Yesterday, directed by Danny Boyle. Join us as we make fun of protagonist Jack Malick and lament the fate of the legend known as Gavin.

For the first episode of this podcast, we will be discussing Wes Anderson's 2009 stop-motion film Fantastic Mr. Fox. Join us for our inaugural episode as we dive into the eccentricities and beauty of this film.
