Settling in for some time off in his suburban home, Ray Peterson's (Tom Hanks) vacation becomes a horror when the Klopeks, a suspiciously odd family, move in down the block. Enlisting the aid of his paranoid buddy, Art (Rick Ducommun), and his militia-man neighbor, Rumsfield (Bruce Dern), Ray sends his son and wife (Carrie Fisher) away on a trip while he investigates the Klopeks. When a neighbor disappears, Ray and his cohorts risk their lives to save their cul-de-sac from the clutches of evil. It's time for a hilarious Horror Comedy and host Drew has brought one of his favorites, "The 'Burbs"!  The guys get into the antics of all the neighbors, their characteristics, stories of their own neighborhoods and even what they would serve to some uninvited guests.  From the comedic writing, the improved scenes and the makeshift dog poop from Queenie... this is a true 80's classic!  Joe Dante has done it again in this cult classic!  We are the Reel Feels Podcast, every other Wednesday we'll bring you a new movie w

When a devoted husband and father is left home alone for the weekend, two stranded young women unexpectedly knock on his door for help. What starts out as a kind gesture results in a dangerous seduction and a deadly game of cat and mouse. A sexy new thriller from director Eli Roth and written for the screen by Eli Roth & Nicolás López & Guillermo Amoedo and story by Anthony Overman and Michael Ronald, KNOCK KNOCK stars Keanu Reeves as the family man who falls into temptation and Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas as the seductresses who wreak havoc upon his life, turning a married man's dark fantasy into his worst nightmare.   Nathan brings us one of the cringiest films that we've had here on the Reel Feels Podcast for our #EroticThriller episode.  The guys discuss the psychological formality played out by these two girls against Reeves' character and much more.  This movie definitely fits the bill for the genre.  It's all agreed that Reeves gives his own "Full-Cage" type of performance here under the di

Capt. James Kirk (William Shatner) and the crew of the USS Enterprise are carrying Klingon Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner) to Earth to negotiate a peace treaty with the United Federation of Planets.

Kirk and the ship's doctor, Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley), are arrested for murder, leaving Spock (Leonard Nimoy) to figure out who is behind the attack and save the negotiations. CRY HAVOC! And let slip the dogs of war!   It's time for some classic Star Trek folks!  The Reel Feels boys discuss this powerful film featuring the star studded cast of the original Star Trek crew, along with the incredibly talented (and sadly late) Christopher Plummer.  It's an episode of intrigue, historical references, personal connection and maybe a little geeking out with Star Trek knowledge.  So grab your gravity boots, take a swig of some Romulan ale and fire those torpedo's!  We are the Reel Feels Podcast, every other Wednesday w

Ever since childhood, nerdy Danny O'Shea (Rick Moranis) has felt inferior to his brother, Kevin (Ed O'Neill), a former college football star.

Lets give it up for the academy award winner of the BIG 5 for 1991!  The boys have a good time discussing creep factor, improved lines, possible recasting and potential selections for roles, credit for depicting actual real world people, and a recurrence of quoting "Multiple Miggs"... maybe a bit too much.
