Summer 2023 Wrap-up

PIXAR is at it again with another adventure where the only real villain is the simple challenges of life! Joy, Sadness, and the rest of the gang is back, but this time, they're accompanied by some new emotions, and they could not have picked a worse week to move in. Riley has Hockey Camp to think about! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll relive horrific memories of puberty.

If I had a nickel for every time a Hogwarts student was influenced to commit some worrisome acts due to a book they found, I have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Anyway, some people love this movie, some people hate this movie, but everyone should at lease have an opinion! I mean, c'mon, Dumbledore forces a man to stop being a chair! It may not be perfect, but it's got some great stuff!

We're finally doing it! We're covering the Dune movies! You've seen 'em. You've loved 'em. If you didn't you're weird and we hate you. These movies are glorious and Denis Villeneuve deserves our never ending gratitude and praise! I haven't been this excited about CGI sand since Spider-man 3. I haven't cared this much about a giant worm since that episode of Spongebob. I haven't been this in love with seeing something in black and white since Harvey! These movies are INCREDIBLE!

The ghostbusters are at it again, and not just the founding members, but the new crew as well. It's a full team up cuz this icy jerk ain't going down without a fight. It's not perfect, but we had a lot of fun watching it. Definitely worth a watch!

The Oscars are here, so right before we all find out who's winning and who's losing, we decided to take a quick minute or two, or 106, to go though how we felt about all the Oscar nominated films we were able to get around to seeing this year. Hop on instagram and let us know what you thought of the Oscar nominations this year.

We are continuing our series on Harry Potter! Our guests for this 2nd installment chose the 4th Harry Potter film as the one they wanted to cover, so we are looking at the Tri-Wizard Tournament! How do you like this one? How does it stack up against the rest?

The new animated movie from Disney is a celebration of their 100 year legacy of magic through animation and storytelling! A lot of negativity has been directed at it so far, but we're here to say, not everyone feels that way! It may not be perfect, but there's a lot here to enjoy! What did you think?

"Yer' a wizard, 'Arry." We are kickin' off the most magical franchise we've covered yet! Although we won't necessarily be covering them in chronological order, we are starting with the first film. Each movie in the franchise will feature 1 or 2 guests of ours, and we're letting the guests pick the movie! Let us know what your thoughts are on the Harry Potter franchise as well as this first film in particular.

The newest film from director Martin Scorsese. It is, without a doubt, going to be a major contender at the Oscars this year. The historic tale of murders that were able to be left unchecked, unchallenged and uninvestigated for years due to bigotry and greed. What did you think? Was a 3 1/2 hour runtime too long?

The Reel Couple has been BUSY this summer! We saw a ton of movies these last few months! Most of them have luckily been really great, but if we're being honest with ourselves, there's been some crap, too. We're taking a walk down memory lane as we review every new release we saw this summer. It's a bit of a long one, but there's a lot to talk about. What did you guys think?
