Happy Wednesday movie lovers. For this week’s Reel Film Nerds podcast we catch up on a 2023 Best Picture nominee The Fabelmans written and directed by Steven Spielberg.

2023/01/18

Happy hump day everyone! For Reel Film Nerds Episode 306 we chat about our first horror movie of 2023 M3GAN. Additional topics include the TV show Girls, donkeys, and what is elevated horror. Does this film really qualify as a horror movie or is it a thriller? Matt and Mike think M3GAN leans more towards psychological thriller than a horror flick.

Not hockey mask related topics include dust spots, 3D for 3D sakes, and horror video games. These movies just keep getting worse and worse and that’s hard to do! Friday the 13th Part III was an attempt to bring back 3D into the movie theaters. It might have been fun back in 1982 but it does not translate well today. There
