Is It for Reel

Three friends dive into the movies of their youth and try to see if they still make us laugh, cry, sing, or cringe. We discuss and decide if it holds to the test of time to be called FOR REEL!

    IIFR E179: White Chicks

    The weather is getting warmer, the birds are chirping, and it's never been a better time to ask to speak to your manager.  That's right, our Podders watched White Chicks.  So get your crew at Industrial Light and Magic to drop you straight into the uncanny valley because it's time to go SHOPPING!!!!!!  Just remember to not stress about your huge bedonkey, everyone's beautiful. It's wild out there so go to your happy place and visualize Terry Crews popping and locking while singing every word to A Thousand Miles.  Scuse Me!!!!!! Hold my poodle!!!!!

    IIFR E178: Empire Records

    As they say, music makes the world go round.  So our podders watched Empire Records.  Yoohoo!  So hike up your shirt till your belly button says no more, mon amour, be sure to hire an HR specialist at your orphanage/record store, and it goes without saying damn the man!!!!!!  Now, let's go save the rec(ord) center!!!!!!!!!!

    IIFR E177: The Replacements

    It's time for the Super Bowl (ya we're not calling it the big game.  Come at us NFL!!!!), so we watched The Replacements.  Break out your teleprompters, brush up on Hoard Zinn's history of labor relations, and if your hair isn't flowing in the wind like peak Keanu, you're not spending enough time in the Baltimore Harbor. Pain heals (not with today's medical system), chicks dig scars (they don't dig being called chicks, though), glory last forever (Bruce Springsteen has a differing opinion).  Down, set, fun!!!!

    IIFR E176: A Vineyard Christmas

    It's been a helluva year, y'all.  So it's time to focus on family, good friends, and getting wine drunk till the reindeers come home.  That's right we watched A Vienyard Christmas.  So get ready for your Mystery Science Theater style interactive movie night.  Get the movie ready (netflix) and hit play when we say and find out if this Christmas movie will have secret murders, people turning into reindeer, and/or so many love triangles they invent a new shape (Ok, maybe we just have vivid imaginations). Happy holidays from your Is It for Reel Family!!!!!!!!!

    IIFR E175: Just Friends

    We're putting the màs back in Christmas, Y'all.  That's right we watched Just Friends and it's got 'how you say' more. So get ready for questionable fat suits, explicit retainers, and more tooth paste spewing than a David Lynch movie.  So get ready to have all of life's questions answered. Like... Is the friend zone real? Is foregiveness more than saying sorry? and What are you doing over at Joyce's?   Darla!!!!!!!!

    IIFR E174: Pieces of April

    It's turkey time so our podders of course checked their rolodex of Thanksgiving movies and watched Pieces of April.  Remember the first rule of Thanksgiving, make sure your food doesn't kill people, second rule is make sure your food doesn't kill people, third rule is be nice to your neighbors because you never know when you'll need their appliances.  Pass the cranberry sauce. We're having mashed potatoes. Ooh, the turkey looks great. Thank you for loving me.  Thank you for being there.  Kill the turkey!!!!

    IIFR E173: The Running Man

    Our Podders decided to get in shape so they ran, they ran so far away, but they couldn't get away.  They also watched The Running Man.  So throw on your sleekest spandex, study up on your hexagonal decoding sequences, and figure out your favorite stalker before Damon calls on you so you don't look like a complete fool on dystopian TV!!!!  You started the movie for Arnie, but you stayed for Buzzsaw, Professor Sub Zero, Fireball, Dynamo, and Captain Freedom.  Who loves you and who do you love!!!!!!!!!

    IIFR E172: First Wives Club

    They tried to kick our brave podders off the air, but they're back, baby!! And to honor one of the greatest, they watched First Wives Club.  Here's to you Diane Keaton!!! So crank your screams to 11, put together your vision boards for revenge/world domination/ justice, and get ready for the truckasaurus that is Keaton-Hawn-Midler!!!! Evil exes beware!!!!!!!!!
