Jeph Loeb gets the boot from Marvel TV because Kevin Feige is a boss while D.B. Weiss and David Benioff walk away from making a Star Wars trilogy to work with Netflix. Miracles do exist. Our Recent Review this week is Terminator: Dark Fate. "There is no fate but what we make." Or something like that. It must be dark because it's Daylight Savings Time. Definitely not a fate thing. We Watch the Watchmen is back and we talk about the 3rd episode. If you haven't watched this show yet, what is wrong with you? Get on it!  Our Geriatric Cinematic Review is Terminator 2: Judgment Day. What? Kelsey never saw it before? You shouldn't be surprised. Mark and Mike did, and together they all three are the judges of Judgement Day.

Episode 24 - Don't Hate. Terminate. 

Mark hosts this cursed Spider-Man episode. With all of the difficulties we've had getting this one out, he put all his blood, sweat and tears into making it happen. And Kelsey loves his tears. Our news topics for the week are JJ Abrams and Bad Robot teaming up with Warner Media, X-Men, and Spider-Man animated series are available on Disney+ while Netflix acquires Seinfeld, and Movie Pass has "passed". Our somewhat Recent Review is Spider-Man: Far From Home. It's only fitting since this is Kelsey's favorite iteration of the character and this film has finally hit home release status. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. Kelsey makes a few references that will make you want to head to Cheers and have a few drinks. Ya know--where everybody knows your name. We have a Try This this week. Amazon Prime coming in strong with Undone. We really need you to see this. Talk about it. Tell us you agree with us. Tell us you love us. Tell. Us. Mark recaps 2002's Spider-Man for us with great gusto! You will remember everything you wish to forget about that version of Spider-Man. Then we lead you into our Geriatric Cinematic Review, Spider-Man 2. Join us as we discuss a passive-aggressive Mary-Jane and Peter Parker's longing, unblinking gaze. Or maybe his eyes were just glassy from drugs. You decide.Be sure to follow us on Twitter (@TheReelAppeal), Facebook, Instagram, and you can contact the show at TheReelAppeal@gmail.com.

Episode 18 - Curse Of The Spider-Man

It's that special time of year. You know--when another Star Wars film comes out and everyone floods into the theaters, spending quality family time with their loved ones as the family on screen kill each other. What? Did you think we meant Christmas? This episode we cover the last film of each of the 3 trilogies. Those films are Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Normally, we do a spoiler bumper for the new film, however, we opted to just play the trailer when we come to it and just spill our guts. Pay attention to the times below for when it is safe to listen to the rest of this episode in case.  Be sure to follow us on Twitter (@TheReelAppeal), Facebook, Instagram, and you can contact the show at TheReelAppeal@gmail.com.

Episode 30 - The Revenge, Return, and Rise of Skywalker

Hey everybody! It's that special time of year again! Not Christmas, or New Year, or your yearly trip to see your grandmother (you should really go visit her more). Nay, it is awards season and the Golden Globes have wrought terror and solace alike. Once we get past the Globes (and Kelsey going on about her stupid cat), we get into the meat and potatoes of the podcast, reviewing stuff. Our Recent Review this week is Bong Joo-Ho's Parasite. Did Kelsey and Mark fan-girl over this film? Yes they did. Should you see it right this second? Yes you should. Already watched it? Watch it again. We did our What the F*** Did We Just Watch segment, covering Cats. Mark kidnapped Kelsey and made her go see this film with him. He now thinks he's a Jellicle Cat. And what was our Geriatric Cinematic? Why, John Carpenter's Escape From New York, of course. It was chosen for three reasons. One is because it's a commentary on social class like our Recent Review. Second, Mark likes it. Did Kelsey seem it a relevant and moderately watchable film in the 2nd decade of this millennium? Maybe just listen and find out.

Episode 32 - Escape From Parasites

Guys! We're here to talk about the news again!--and other stuff! We talk Planet of the Apes after the Disney/Fox merger. Also, the Golden Globes are around the corner and they are up to their old tricks. Who are "they" and what "tricks"? The old guard is who, and just listen to what we have to say about their tricks. Unfortunately, there is no treat there.   Our Recent Review for this week is Queen &amp; Slim. A lot is going on with this film, and all fun and joking aside, we want you to take this journey with us. Watch it before you listen, please. It's important.   Watchmen! We're talking about it, yet again! Will we ever stop? No! Actually, we do have to eat and sleep, and also the season is ending soon so there's that. But it is so much fun and we have lots of theories!   Bonnie &amp; Clyde is our Geriatric Cinematic this time around, and we really can't get enough of the chemistry between Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. If you haven't seen it, you should at least once and we'll tell you why. Yes. We are telling you what to do. Deal. With.

Episode 3 - John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum/Point Break

Hey there! We are your imaginary friends bringing you a non-imaginary episode full of laughing and crying. We have the news about Batman casting (Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman!), Netflix leasing theatres to show its movies in so they can make an Oscar run, and John Cho injured his knee on the set of Cowboy Bebop. Recently, Taika Waititi's Jojo Rabbit was released making it our Recent Review, recently. We caught that sucker and interrogated it to the full extent of movie critic law. Find out if it passed or was executed by firing squad. Even rabbits aren't safe from us. We missed a week so our would-be Recent Review for our failed episode, Bong Joon Ho's Parasite is our Try This for Try This, Not That. We so wanted to dive into this with you. We have failed you. We won't let it happen again. Please don't hurt us. Our long-winded Topic Discussion is about more seasoned director folk taking a huge cookie all over people's hopes and dreams. Stop it, old people. Let us Millenials ruin our lives in peace. Our Geriatric Cinematic is Top Secret! No really. We're telling you. It's Top Secret! That's the title. None of that "Who's On First" stuff. We had some fun with this one. We always do but this one in particular aged like fine wine. Or cheese. Or things that age well.

Episode 17 - Send In The Klowns

Mark and Kelsey present to you their latest episode, full of new things. Like structure. And endings. You'll see what I mean. We cover the news, of course, with the Oscar's around the corner, Mark's jam, Atlanta coming back, Bong Joon-ho's Parasite becoming Americanized,  and DJ Qualls coming out as gay. Do we care he's gay? No. But we care he's doing what's right for him. Duh. Our Recent Review for this week is Sam Mendes's  1917. We can't say enough about this one, mostly because we don't want to spoil it for anyone. New segment! We're calling it Variety Time (like a variety show, get it?) so we can use this space to say what we want to say and be who we want to be. Don't like it? Our Geriatric Cinematic is right around the corner so don't get her knickers in a bunch. This week, we're doing Hard Boiled. Yes, that classic John Woo movie. Not breakfast. Why did we choose it? Both of our reviews feature track shots. Come compare and contrast with us. You know you want to.

Episode 33 - Boiling 1917

Percussion. Wind. Music that comes together to soothe your soul. Or maybe just bad gas. Either way, we're back to tell you about some things. We're a little light on news, just covering Pee-wee Herman himself wanting a dark film about--himself, and Fast and Furious 9 dropping the most ridiculous trailer ever.   Our Recent Review this week is The Rhythm Section. Coming out the gate like a soulful take on a woman's liberation and revenge, it really wound up being more like a stinky fart. Bodum-tssss. Variety Time consists of a great question posed to us in a segment we like to call Mail Bag. A listener emailed us to ask what our annual watches are and we couldn't stop talking about ourselves, like a couple of narcists. We, of course, paired our Recent Review with Road to Perdition for our Geriatric Cinematic, keeping in line with our familial revenge connection. Neither Mark nor Kelsey watched it prior to seeing it for this episode, and wow... We can't say enough about it.   Be sure to follow us on Twitter (@TheReelAppeal), Facebook, Instagram, and you can contact the show at TheReelAppeal@gmail.com.

Episode 36 - There's No Rhythm In This Section

Gentlemen on a good Friday. Are they still gentlemen when it's not a good Friday? What about any other day of the week? Before we find out, we talk about Howard the Duck and Tigra &amp; Dazzler not moving forward with Hulu, the Obi-Wan Kenobi series has been delayed due to script rewrites and a new writer, and the sudden passing of Kobe Bryant, his daughter and others in a helicopter crash this past weekend. We're usually tongue-in-cheek, but somberness and awkward emotions were in order for this one. We're sure you understand the switch up. Our Recent Review this week is The Gentlemen. Kelsey get's her first taste of what Guy Ritchie makes by way of British gangster films, and they both get to fawn over the stylish dress of some very handsome men. Also, accents. Lots of beautiful accents. Variety Time this week is Simon Says! Yes, Simon Gruber has asked another question, which lead to another and another. No, subpoenas are not exciting, Agents and Special Agents are very similar, and here is an infographic on the difference between the FBI and the CIA. Mostly, we now realize that, yes, we have way too many acronymed agencies that do very similar things. Way. Too. Many. Our Geriatric Cinematic Review this week is The Long Good Friday. It's a British gangster film, chosen for exactly that reason to go with The Gentlemen like red wine and cheese. We encounter a really young Pierce Brosnan, Bob Hoskins at his best and lots of violence.

Episode 31 - Foresight Is 2020

Hey! Valentine's Day was last week! What better way to celebrate that and Black History Month all wrapped up into one than by watching The Photograph as our Recent Review and Boomerang as our Geriatric Cinematic Review? We obviously couldn't think of one, so here we are, wining and dining your ears with these two love stories about people who are Black, successful and beautiful. Our news segment features stories about the last man standing at the almost defunct MovieFone.  We also get into NBC's The Hunt coming back and a sneak peek of Robert Pattinson's Batman. After our Recent Review, we do our Variety Time, where we go over new innovations in filming: namely, a vertical format blockbuster. Is it a case of just because you can don't mean you should? Or will it really bend the known walls of filmmaking? With the love of The Photograph and fun of Boomerang, our final conversation will be on which film did Black, successful and beautiful better? Will you agree? Be sure to follow us on Twitter (@TheReelAppeal), Facebook, Instagram, and you can contact the show at TheReelAppeal@gmail.com.

Episode 38 - To Love, Or Not To Love

What's better than female badassery, where women take back their independence and generally just get stuff done? I would say nothing. Not even Ignacius Mark.    Actually, we can think of something that comes close. The Oscars were this week, and Bong Joon Ho won BIG with Parasite. He had the best reactions to his wins and is the cutest and most deserving director ever.   Our Recent Review of Birds of Prey was a great female redemption from the previous week. Unfortunately, it's not doing as well as it deserves at the box office, and we talk about some of the reasons why.

Bonus Episode 2 - Attack of The Empire's Striking Last Jedi

Nobody naw give you no bray-ache. Police naw give you no break. Especially the police in our two films this week. Bad Boys For Life is our Recent Review, and Lethal Weapon is our Geriatric Cinematic. What is our connection? You guessed it! Or maybe you didn't. We're talking buddy cops! First, we cover the news, where we discuss Disney re-branding their Fox acquisitions, Colin Treverrow's version of Star Wars Episode IX would have been amazing and Mindhunter is in trouble on Netflix. Mark even finds a moment to talk about Film Critic Hulk's article breaking down what the issues actually were with Joker. Don't worry. It's not a sob-fest. Neither are our Variety Time stories. Those are a fun-fest. The best part of our episode this week is diving into which film did the buddy cop thing best. Will you agree? Disagree? Agree to disagree? You naw give us no bray-ache...?

Don't worry. It's not a sob-fest. Neither are our Variety Time stories. Those are a fun-fest. The best part of our episode this week is diving into which film did the buddy cop thing best. Will you agree? Disagree? Agree to disagree? You naw give us no bray-ache...? Fine. But you'll have fun anyway.

Episode 34 - Lethal Bad Boys

Kelsey is hosting this week, and Mark has no choice but to be there. Woe. Is. Mark. We're a little light on the news, covering only Chuck Palahniuk's book Invisible Monsters getting a television series and The Boondocks returning on HBO Max with their original creator. But let's cut the chit-chat and get right down to brass tacks, or brass taxes, as Mark likes to say. His way sounds more menacing, and I like it. Ad Astra recently released, and it has become our Recent Review. We really had a lot to say about this film, even if it was lacking in dialogue itself. It had its reasons. Don't judge it for being the space junkie whore it was meant to be. It may be a movie but it has feelings, too. Simon Says is back!!!!! He says he's Simple Simon. We just call him, "Ugh. That guy again?!" He questions balls. Hard ones. We'll let you stew on that while he stews on the mountain of new phrases Mark stepped in while trying to wind this segment down. Our Geriatric Cinematic is 2001: A Space Odyssey. Mark is stuck in an odyssey of his own as he listens to Kelsey speak her mind. You shouldn't be surprised. She's selfish like that. Besides, Mark clearly enjoys it. Or it's Stockholm syndrome. You decide. Be sure to follow us on Twitter (@TheReelAppeal), Facebook, Instagram, and you can contact the show at TheReelAppeal@gmail.com.

Episode 19 - Ad Astra: A Space Odyssey

Did you have a bad day? Wanna know who had a worse one than you? The main characters in our Recent Review of Uncut Gems and Geriatric Cinematic Review of After Hours, that's who. We will go on about their woes so they don't have to.   Before that, though, we cover Bob Iger and Martin Scorcese in the news. They might have wine together. Clint Eastwood's Richard Jewell is a flop and there is some controversy there. And of course, Queen &amp; Slim gets a huge snub all the way around. Because of course it did.   Watchmen has ended, possibly for good. But it will seriously live on in the hearts and minds of all who watched it. And we have a lot to say as fans of the show. You really want to hear this.   Be sure to follow us on Twitter (@TheReelAppeal), Facebook, Instagram, and you can contact the show at TheReelAppeal@gmail.com.
