This year we ended up watching enough Hallmark films that we actually recorded two episodes on the subject. On this week’s episode, we discuss Christmas Town, Christmas Camp, and Christmas in Rome. I love that there is never any mystery to a Hallmark movie, not event the title. After the kind of year 2019 has been, maybe we can all take comfort in that level of simplicity.
Enjoy!
Don’t worry, most of December will be devoted to movies that focus on people learning the “true meaning of Christmas”. But until we dive into that saccharine wonderland, here is this week’s episode about a killer robot from the future. Actually I don’t think it would take much effort to draw similarities between the terminator franchise and most Christmas stories, so maybe we are already on theme for the month.
Enjoy!
What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than with a whole episode dedicated to the Final Destination franchise. So instead of arguing with your racist uncle about how America was never that great, how about you pop in your headphones, and listen to us try and figure out why the craftsmanship in the Final Destination universe is so shoddy. Seriously…it is a whole world of poorly built IKEA furniture, except everything is able to kill you…quite easily.
Enjoy!
One week into the launch of Disney+, so we figured we should do an episode. This week we discuss what we’ve been watching on the new streaming platform, what we would like to see on there, and our initial complaints about the service. This is an episode where we’d really like to hear from people who listen to the show. What have you been watching on Disney+, and what should we turn our attention to next?
Enjoy!
I guess Roy will be happy that this isn’t called Zombieland 2, but that doesn’t mean that this sequel to the 2009 film was wanted or needed. This week we breakdown the goods and bads of this low stakes horror/comedy, and how they could have maybe made it a little better. We also get way to excited thinking about doing more episodes about Hallmark holiday films!
Enjoy!
This week we discuss the very divisive film, Joker. Certainly none of us share the same opinion, but we all found things that we enjoyed, and definitely some things that made our blood boil. Whether you liked, loved, or hated this film, I hope you can at least appreciate its ability to spark a conversation. Please let us know how you felt about this one!
Enjoy!
This week we talk about the 2019 film, Ma. That seems so straight forward. The reality of the situation is that we spend half the episode trying to talk about anything else because, spoiler, we weren’t really impressed with this “horror” film. Still, I think we managed to salvage the episode and make something that is at least passably entertaining…unlike the movie, Ma. See what I did there?
Enjoy!
Well that really snuck up on us. Hard to believe that we have now recorded 200 of these things. Sure, they aren’t all great, and maybe we had some long gaps in production for awhile, and maybe some of those early episodes were very difficult to listen to, but here we, chugging along. To celebrate this milestone, we decided to compile our “Top 10” lists from 2010-present, roughly the same amount of time we’ve been making this show. We hope that you enjoy this episode, and continue listening as we move along towards 300.
Enjoy!
When I used to work in a video store, I remember that there would be full sections of one particular title, if it was a big enough movie. There was also a row full of single title films, and this is usually where your low budget horror films would end up. Netflix, as a way of replacing video stores, seems to be making both types of movies. I know that you might see that In the Tall Grass is a horror movie based on a Stephen King story, and think that this would have been the kind of movie that gets a whole section at the video store, but I promise you, this is a “single title” film all the way. I hope you like movies that only take place in a field.
Enjoy!
After our last episode, we thought maybe we should go with a more “traditional” horror film. That said, It: Chapter 2 still wants to go toe-to-toe with Midsommar in total runtime…so you know…that’s cool. While this sequel to the smash hit from 2017 may not be as good as its predecessor, there are still plenty of good things to talk about…but damn, it is really long. And how did they do such a great job of casting some people…and really drop the ball with other choices?
Enjoy!
This week we take a look at two “horror” movies that were released this summer. To be completely honest, I was more than a little surprised at the way people came down on these two films, but I think it makes the show even more entertaining. And maybe, as we talk about the movies, opinions were changed a little. If you’ve seen either of these movies, we would love to hear your opinion!
Enjoy!
This week we discuss the latest film from Danny Boyle, Yesterday. I know that this movie was released to mixed reviews across the board. Some people who love the Beatles felt like it did them a disservice. Some people who don’t like The Beatles just didn’t care for the premise in general. Still others felt the whole thing was a little too schmaltzy. But hey, Ed Sheeran turned out to be pretty funny, and in general, we at COTR like a little schmaltz.
Enjoy!
This week we discuss one of the sweetest films of 2019, Peanut Butter Falcon. We won’t keep you in suspense, we loved this movie. If it is still playing near you, grab your friends, walk past the latest franchise film, and support the wonderful redemption of Shia LaBeouf. Or if that doesn’t sound like fun to you, we also talk about Sean being a fan of wrestling. Something for everybody at Coming Off the Reels.
Enjoy!
Originally the plan was just to do an episode on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but we decided to go full QT on this one and give you a much more bloated episode. We go through all his Tarantino’s movies and talk about the good, the bad, and the feet…my god he loves feet. So buckle in for this extra special, extra long episode of Coming Off the Reels.
Enjoy!
So I promise that we set out to record an episode on the the recent comedy, Good Boys, but we got sidetracked a little. So now in this Good Boys episode you will also hear us talk about 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, The Art of Racing in the Rain, the trailers for the new Star Wars film and Last Christmas, and we also try to figure out why Booksmart didn’t make more money. So I apologize if we are all over the map on this one, but that’s kind of the premise of the show.
Enjoy!
This week we take a look a two recent horror films, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Ready or Not. Did these well reviewed movies meet our expectations, or end up leaving us feeling a little bit cold? As per usually Sean will get hung up on the weirdest little things, and Drew will argue with Sean about getting hung up on the weirdest little things.
Enjoy!
Look at us, really branching out and trying new things. Instead of just reviewing what feels like an endless amount of superhero movies, we’ve decided to review a television show…about superheroes. That’s as much change as I can handle all at once, so please be patient. This week we take a look at Amazon’s bleak take on Justice League/The Avengers with their original series, The Boys. Does it amount to more than just the gimmick of flipping the script on many beloved characters? Guess you’ll just have to listen to find out.
Enjoy!
Okay, out of the gate, we have some problems with the title. We understand why they felt the need to make it so wordy, but you know Roy, and he really get particular when it comes to movie titles. How did we feel about the 9th movie in the F&F universe? I guess we could just tell you, but then maybe you would listen to us ramble on for an hour about how ridiculous this movie was. So maybe just listen to the episode.
Enjoy!
This week we are taking a look at several of the movies still slated for this year. We hope they are all wonderful, but that seems pretty unlikely. Which movies are you looking forward to this year? Let us know if we need to dedicate a whole episode to any of the following films.
Enjoy!

Here we are again, in the endless circle of Disney films. This time we are visiting the latest “live action” remake of a classic Disney cartoon, The Lion King. Much like the other examples of Disney reimagining their films, this one was met with pretty divisive reviews. Much like the Aladdin remake, The Lion King seems to be resistant to any negative comments that reviewers may have. How do you think we landed on this one? Guess you’ll just have to listen to find out…because this is a podcast…that’s kind of how this works.
