This we are discussing the latest movie from Zack Snyder, Rebel Moon. We are aware that the title is longer than that, but really who has that kind of time. Is it possible that this was secretly part of a documentary where Snyder pitches the plot of a well loved movie to Netflix just to see what would happen? We really hope so, that would at least be entertaining to watch.
Enjoy!
With Halloween right around the corner, we are reposting one of our favorite episodes, our deep dive into all the films of John Carpenter. We know that not all of his films are horror, but many of them are still scary good.
Enjoy!
What a treat, this week you get an episode on three movies! We are hoping that since you get three movies, you won’t notice that the better half of the show hosts aren’t on this one. So here’s a little horror/comedy, a little science fiction, and a little video game underdog sports story. Surely there isn’t something for most people in here.
Enjoy!
We are a couple of weeks into the new year, and that means we are all scrambling to watch all the 2022 movies we missed in order to make out “Best and Worst” lists. Hey, speaking of the worst movies of last year, here is our episode on Moonfall. Now we aren’t saying that this movie will definitely be on someone’s list for the worst movies last year, but this movie will almost certainly be on one of those lists.
Enjoy!
Our feelings toward the first Avatar film range from enjoyment to stunning indifference, but not from the people you might think. This week we are discussing the new sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water. Not to give too much away, but minds were changed in each direction. At least we all have plenty to say, both good and bad, about this larger than life movie.
Enjoy!
This week we discuss the latest film from Jordan Peele, Nope. If you haven’t watched this movie yet, it is available to rent and buy digitally, and we all recommend that you watch it before listening to this episode. However, if you aren’t interested in watching Jordan Peele’s take on science fiction and creature features, then please feel free to just listen to us talk about it instead. The only thing scary about this show is how charming we are… at least that is what our mom’s say.
Enjoy!
I think the first rule of podcasting is “when a 7 year old requests an episode, you make sure to get it done”. The second rule is probably something about making sure your podcast sounds good or something, I don’t really know. This week I am adhering to rule one as we discuss the latest Pixar film, Lightyear. I have seen lots of divisive remarks made about this one, and I guess we had better make our opinions known as well. Hopefully Tuck isn’t to hard on us here at COTR.
Enjoy!
Happy Star Wars Day! To celebrate, we took a break from movie talk, and instead, we dedicated an entire episode to Star Wars: The Clone Wars. We also thought we bring in someone who could speak on this series with a little more authority, Dan Kaufman! That’s kind of a big deal, so please show your gratitude by telling all your friends about the show…maybe your friend’s friends…maybe tell them all to sign up for our Patreon. Just an idea.
Enjoy!
While our opinions of The Adam Project might vary, we did all unite in our opposition to some of the worst de-aging effects ever. We talk about this a lot, but seriously, it is really terrible looking, and I know that we skipped right over some major plot points just so we could continue to bad mouth this one thing, but that’s just how terrible it was. Anyway, here’s our episode.
Enjoy!
Before we post about some holiday films, please enjoy yet another episode from our weekend in the woods. Brainscan was one that may have been better only in memory, but we still had a lot of fun watching it. Plus, there are few things more relaxing than the dulcet tones of Edward Furlong screaming. The only thing better might be our impressions of Edward Furlong screaming.
Enjoy!
This week we decided to celebrate Ryan’s upcoming wedding by letting him choose the movie for movie night. At first he mentioned possibly choosing a romantic comedy as a way to pay tribute to his upcoming nuptials, but finally settled on the sci-fi thriller, Freaks, because nothing says “true love” like any of Ryan’s movie picks.
If you haven’t seen this movie yet, it is available on Netflix. So fire it up, then come back and listen to this very very very romantic episode of Coming Off the Reels.
Enjoy!
Imagine that you are are living in the future, you are going about your everyday life, just trying to get by. One day, aliens begin to invade, and the population of the earth is decimated. The life you built, the people you love, all gone. You sit there, as the world is crumbling around you, and you think that things could literally not get any worse. Then you find out that Chris Pratt is the only hope for the human race. Ouch. That has got to sting. It’s like getting shot, but then also getting a paper cut at the very end.
Anyway…The Tomorrow War.
Enjoy!
Sometime, while we were all mostly stuck in our homes, a small science fiction movie was released on Amazon Prime called The Vast of Night. Sometimes the movies released in these crazy times feel more special than they are just because we are all desperate for anything new. Does The Vast of Night fall into this category, or is it actually a good, if not great, sci-fi entry. Guess you should probably listen to this episode to find out.
Enjoy!
