On New Year's Day 1900, Danny (Bill Nunn), a crew member on an ocean liner, finds a deserted infant and decides to adopt him, nicknaming him "1900." As an adult, the eccentric 1900 (Tim Roth) grows into a remarkable musician aboard the boat. Rumors of his brilliant piano playing eventually reach the shore, and his pal Max (Pruitt Taylor Vince) believes that success surely awaits 1900 on land. The only problem, however, is that the enigmatic pianist is loath to embrace life away from the ship.   Jack and Drew FINALLY get to reviewing the long awaited Patreon movie choice of 1998's "Legend of the 1900".  This film has stunning music, an intriguing story and some pretty solid acting.  Tim Roth, playing "1900", gives a very personal performance and engages us in his story.  While Pruitt Taylor Vince takes us along as the narrator, making us feel both at home and leading us to a heartfelt ending.    We are the Reel Feels Podcast, every other Wednesday we'll bring you a new movie with all the feels you can handle.

The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets -- Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and Sam the Eagle -- weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases -- past, present and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.   Can we ask for a more perfect match for our #Puppetry genre AND to have this episode debut in December? I think not!  Nathan brings all of us a fan favorite and a holiday staple for everyone with The Muppet Christmas Carol!  We laugh at the quotable lines, Michael Caines stellar performance and of course the timeless songs.  So join us wont you?  Put more coal on the fire, make sure the prized turkey is roasted and get yourself one more sleep till Christmas!    We are the Reel Feels Podcast, every other Wednesday we'll bring you a n

Tasked with overhauling a university football team that was dismantled for breaking collegiate rules, coaches Wally Riggendorf (Robert Loggia) and Ed Gennero (Héctor Elizondo) pick unusual new players like junior professor Andre Krimm (Sinbad) and 30-something quarterback Paul Blake (Scott Bakula). As Paul courts professor Suzanne Carter (Harley Jane Kozak), the team struggles until the arrival of a female placekicker, who bolsters the squad as it gets ready to challenge its big rival.   Jack pulls a Hail Mary from his childhood and brings us a favorite nostalgia film with his choice of "Necessary Roughness" (1991) for our #Football genre.  Discussing the cast consisting of Hector Elizondo, Robert Loggia, Scott Bakula and Ms. Ireland we continue to gush.  The film has heart and the feels to back it up, while still following the formulaic style of the typical football film.  It's an underdog story that we can all get behind.     We are the Reel Feels Podcast, every other Wednesday we'll bring you a new movie w

In this feature film based on the hit animated series, the third graders of South Park sneak into an R-rated film by ultra-vulgar Canadian television personalities Terrance (Matt Stone) and Phillip (Trey Parker), and emerge with expanded vocabularies that leave their parents and teachers scandalized. When outraged Americans try to censor the film, the controversy becomes a call to war with Canada, and Terrance and Phillip end up on death row -- with only the kids left to save them.   The boys have a great old time looking back on their experiences with South Park through the years and the impact it's had on them as well as society. The movie is still a hoot and gives great laughs all around. It's a no brainer for this pick to be the movie for the "Cut Out Animation" genre. So let's go blame Canada and save our children of South Park!    We are the Reel Feels Podcast, every other Wednesday we'll bring you a new movie with all the feels you can handle.  We'll laugh, we'll cry and possibly restrain the frustrati

He doesn't know it, but everything in Truman Burbank's (Jim Carrey) life is part of a massive TV set. Executive producer Christof (Ed Harris) orchestrates "The Truman Show," a live broadcast of Truman's every move captured by hidden cameras. Cristof tries to control Truman's mind, even removing his true love, Sylvia (Natascha McElhone), from the show and replacing her with Meryl (Laura Linney). As Truman gradually discovers the truth, however, he must decide whether to act on it.   In this "Utopia" genre pick, Nathan has chosen 1998's The Truman Show, for us to review!  This detailed look at Truman's life is well... it's disturbing, but also very insightful into the life experience.  We all dive deep into our thoughts about what the people are doing to Truman and how it can detail how real life actually is worked out.  A great cast, music is on point... but we can't look away at what this says for life.  So join us, tune in to your favorite reality show and lets watch our favorite character...

In this remake of a 1963 film based on historical events, Shinzaemon Shimada leads a team of assassins in 19th-century Japan to eliminate the ruthless Lord Naritsugu Matsudaira, who is wreaking havoc against his own people. Hired secretly by a government official hoping to end Matsudaira's reign of terror, Shimada recruits the best samurai in Japan and then sets a trap for the lord's large contingent of faithful bodyguards.   In this episode everyone comes together to discuss the masterfully crafted film "13 Assassins" by Takashi Miike.  A wonderful film with familiar plot elements and one hell of an ending battle scene.  From the costumes, the dialect and the character archetypes exhibited in this film, it's very clear to see how defining of a film this is for the "Samurai" genre.  So come, sit with us and lets gush over some honorable deaths, mutual hatred for the villain and a strange and mysterious 13th man who joins in the fun.  We are the Reel Feels Podcast, every other Wednesday we'll bring you a new

To the students at Harrington High, the principal and her posse of teachers have always been a little odd, but lately they've been behaving positively alien. Controlled by otherworldly parasites, the faculty try to infect students one by one. Cheerleader Delilah (Jordana Brewster), football player Stan (Shawn Hatosy), drug dealer Zeke (Josh Hartnett) and new girl Marybeth (Laura Harris) team up with some of their other classmates to fight back against the invaders.   Nathan has given us a late 90's thriller that pays homage to a plethora of classic horror movies in 1998's "The Faculty" for our #TeenTerror genre! In this episode the guys reminisce on the days of the 90's, the actors and the fun they had back in the day. Plus we get to hear Nathan defend his choice against Jack's onslaught of jabs towards this movie. But overall, we had fun with this film and enjoy it for what it brought to the table. So keep an eye out on the teachers, always suspect who may be an alien and let's talk "The Faculty"!     We

Following the murder of a mutual friend, aspiring con man Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford) teams up with old pro Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman) to take revenge on the ruthless crime boss responsible, Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw). Hooker and Gondorff set about implementing an elaborate scheme, one so crafty that Lonnegan won't even know he's been swindled. As their big con unfolds, however, things don't go according to plan, requiring some last-minute improvisation by the undaunted duo.   Host Jack has hit a big time score with this 7 Academy Award winning film!  It's our "Con Artist" genre with 1973's "The Sting" for Episode 114.  The boys discuss the fabulous costuming, set design and the overall delicate balance that the cast brings to this film.  It's a first time watch for Host Drew, but Nathan and Jack wont hold that against him.  From the subtle comedy to the impact that this film paved way for future heist and con-artist movies, "The Sting" is one that still stands the test of time.  Ya follow?    We a

Nada (Roddy Piper), a wanderer without meaning in his life, discovers a pair of sunglasses capable of showing the world the way it truly is. As he walks the streets of Los Angeles, Nada notices that both the media and the government are comprised of subliminal messages meant to keep the population subdued, and that most of the social elite are skull-faced aliens bent on world domination. With this shocking discovery, Nada fights to free humanity from the mind-controlling aliens.   It's another episode where we gush over the talent and the genius that is John Carpenter folks! For our "Satire" genre in Episode 113 we discuss the cult-classic, 1988's "They Live"!  This is Nathan's first watch and yet another viewing for Jack and Drew.

A drought in 1970s Southern California has an unexpected side effect: as people empty their swimming pools, a group of teen surfers from the Dogtown area of Venice Beach move in with skateboards, and a new sport is born. Based on a true story, this film follows "Z-Boys" skate team members Stacy Peralta (John Robinson), Tony Alva (Victor Rasuk) and Jay Adams (Emile Hirsch), plus manager Skip Engblom (Heath Ledger), as their fearless "pool surfing" leads to fame, fortune -- and misfortune.   Nathan is BACK!  Whew!  Nathan brings us his "Surfer" genre with 2005's Biographical drama Lords of Dogtown.  The boys look back on their own experiences or non-experiences with surfing and skateboarding alike while reviewing this film.  The non-pragmatical elements of the film where we see the real life instances of these young men is often under appreciated when you think about the world of skating today. The movie may not be everyone's cup of tea, but one can always appreciate a great story.    We are the Reel Feels
