    Oh, Reel Original - S1E5 - Kids Join A Major League Franchise with Nathaniel Como

    Title: Kids Join A Major League Franchise with Nathaniel Como This week, the boys are going back to the 90s to explore a pair of films where middle school children get involved with a Major League Baseball franchise. These two movies, along with The Sandlot and Angels in the Outfield were formative movies for children of the 90s. The boys invited their good friend Nathaniel Como, the lead singer of Not Chinese Takeout, to help them decide which film did it better.  This week’s pair of movies are 1993’s Rookie of the Year where Henry Rowengartner helps the Chicago Cubs break the Curse of the Billy Goat and 1994’s Little Big League where Billy Haywood inherits the Minnesota Twins from his grandfather and inserts himself as manager.  This episode was recorded at The Jive Hive in Albany, NY Video Production by Mikey Baish Audio Production and Engineering by Alec Lewis Production Supervision by Nick Baish Chapters (00:00:00) - Oreal Original(00:02:53) - Battle Beam(00:03:44) - Best Movie About Kids in the MLB(00:04:27) - Rookie of the Year vs Little Big League(00:08:12) - Sandlot vs Angels In The Outfield(00:11:23) - How To Talk To A Dog(00:11:34) - The Search for Hollywood Talent(00:12:06) - Rookie of the Year vs. Little Big League(00:15:43) - Daniel Stern and Andrew Scheinman(00:18:26) - Rookie of the Year(00:20:38) - Boskoe Mom in '(00:21:13) - MILFs vs. MOMS: Who Was The Better(00:23:42) - The Cast of The Chicago Cubs(00:25:19) - John Ashton and Jonathan Silverman in The Minnesota Twins(00:26:24) - Little Big League: Three Cameos(00:29:11) - Rookie of the Year vs Little Big League(00:32:16) - Henry in Rookie Of The Year(00:33:14) - Little Big League vs.(00:37:05) - Billy Heywood Ruined The Minnesota Twins Movie(00:40:01) - Rookie of the Year vs Little Big League(00:44:28) - Brickma in Little Big League(00:45:59) - Drama Reading Every Nickname Sal Calls Henry Gruder(00:48:11) - Billy's Friends In The Big Leaguer(00:51:29) - Rookie of the Year vs 1010(00:53:09) - "This is the Big Game..."(00:53:29) - John Candy on Rookie of the Year(00:54:49) - Little Big League vs Rookie of the Year(00:59:19) - Ken Griffey Jr. In Little Big League(01:01:00) - Rookie of the Year vs Little Big League(01:05:09) - Cartoon World(01:05:20) - The Rookie of the Year(01:07:30) - Chinese Takeout(01:09:50) - Thanks to Metroland Podcast and Alec Lewis

    Oh, Reel Original - S1E4 - A Volcano In Your Neighborhood with John Stegemann

    A Volcano In Your Neighborhood On this week’s episode, the boys are exploring a pair of late 90’ disaster movies concerning volcanos. . Both coming out in 1997, Dante’s Peak starring Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton and Volcano starring Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche detail the human response to the sudden nature of an eruption. The two movies take vastly different approaches with one playing out like a procedural detective story while the other treats the volcano like a horror movie villain. Joined by filmmaker John Stegemann, of the APB Film Collective and Super Scout TV, the trio decide which approach wins the day.  This episode was recorded at The Jive Hive in Albany, NY Video Production by Nick Baish Audio Production and Engineering by Alec Lewis Production Supervision by Noah Scanell Chapters (00:00:10) - Real Original: Twin Films vs. Deadpool(00:02:00) - No Referee(00:02:57) - Dante's Peak vs Volcano(00:04:05) - Dante's Peak vs Volcano Box Office(00:06:32) - Dante's Peak vs Volcano(00:10:16) - Volcano vs Dante's Peak(00:12:56) - Paul Bunyan on Special Effects(00:17:12) - The 90s Acting(00:18:24) - Tommy Lee Jones in Dante's Peak(00:19:39) - Pierce Brosnan's Love Story in The Dark(00:20:56) - Volcanic Island Cast(00:23:56) - The Cast of Volcano(00:26:22) - Pete Cheadle vs Pierce Brosnan In This Movie(00:27:47) - Volcano vs Dante's Peak(00:31:44) - Film Review: Dante's Peak vs Volcano(00:32:50) - Volcano vs Dante's Peak(00:37:14) - They're Just Thinking Some(00:37:27) - Dante's Peak vs Volcano: 10,9(00:40:58) - Volcano vs Dante's Peak(00:45:32) - Dante's Peak vs. Volcano(00:47:31) - Harry in The Volcano(00:49:34) - Best and Worst Shots in Dante's Inferno(00:50:41) - Volcano vs. Dantes(00:52:49) - John Carroll Lynch In Dante's Peak(00:53:52) - The Ghost of Dante's Peak(00:57:40) - Sulfuric Acid In The Elevator(00:58:25) - Volcanic Island vs Dante's Peak(01:01:49) - Which One Is The Better Hero Moment?(01:04:41) - Volcanoes vs Should Have Been In The Dark(01:09:01) - UFC star Conor McGregor on His Peak Aggression(01:09:30) - How Do You Compare The End Of The(01:13:41) - Volcano Ending Explained(01:16:24) - Volcano In Dante's Peak Review(01:18:04) - Dante's Peak(01:18:43) - Jungle Ball

    Oh, Reel Original! - S1E1 - Hooking Up Without Catching Feelings with Bri Morrison

    The boys are joined by Albany based comedian Bri Morrison to analyze a pair of rom-coms that are all about the quest to hook up without catching feelings. Of course, because this is a rom-com, that quest is ultimately a failure, but will our movie couples learn some things about themselves in the process and potentially find everlasting happiness, whatever the hell that means.  This week’s pair of Twin Films are the 2011 romantic comedies, Friends With Benefits starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis and No Strings Attached starring Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman. After a spirited discussion about the couples’ romantic chemistry (or lack thereof) [9:58], the boys and Bri discuss all the standard tropes that we all know and love from romantic comedies:  there’s the meet-cutes [32:24], the sex montage [46:39], the break-up [53:20], and finally the reconciliation and the all-important rom-com speech [1:01:44].  Credits:  This episode was recorded at The Jive Hive in Albany, NY Video Production by Nick Baish Audio Production and Engineering by Alec Lewis Production Supervision by Mikey Baish Video Editing by Ejaniia Clayton Chapters (00:00:00) - O'Reill Original: Twin Films The Fight(00:04:10) - Three Judges Score the(00:04:57) - Best Movie That Attempts To Hook Up With A Girl(00:05:42) - Bri on The Rom Com(00:07:09) - No Strings Attached(00:08:09) - No Strings Attached vs. Friends With Benefits(00:09:50) - The Directors of No Strings Attached and Friends With Benefits(00:12:15) - Kathryn Hahn in 'The Help'(00:12:31) - Ashton Kutcher vs Natalie Portman in No Strings Att(00:15:57) - Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman in 'No strings attached(00:18:22) - Best Friends With Benefits(00:22:00) - How to Forget Who's In Your Face(00:22:57) - Jake Johnson and Greta Gerwig in Friends With Benefits(00:24:42) - He Didn't Recognize Natalie Portman In '(00:26:00) - Fool With Benefits Cameos(00:27:27) - No Strings Attached vs. No(00:29:40) - No Strings Attached: A 10(00:30:58) - RomCom Tactic(00:32:28) - Friends With Benefits: The Meet Cute(00:36:49) - Adam Asks Emma Portman If He Can Finger Her In The(00:40:19) - The Fourth Meet Cute In '(00:42:19) - Adam Sandler on The Fourth Me(00:44:43) - Friends With Benefits(00:46:36) - The Dating Montage Sex montage(00:48:07) - Good Sex Is All About Communication(00:50:03) - No Strings Attached vs Friends With Benefits Sex montage(00:52:42) - UFC 170(00:53:23) - No Strings Attached vs Friends With Benefits: Which One Was(00:58:36) - No Strings Attached vs. Friends With Benefits(01:01:42) - Friends With Benefits: The Sequel(01:03:19) - Oh My!

In each episode, the pair of movies are pitted against one another in an MMA style bout (that’s why Beam sounds like Bruce Buffer… you get it!). The hosts are joined by an artist from the Capital Region to debate the two films and decide which film was ultimately superior.
