Episode #121: Yesterday

Yesterday, All my troubles seemed so far away, Now it looks as though they're here to stay, Oh, I believe in yesterday. Welcome everyone to a super special episode of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast!  Today we review Yesterday, not the song but the movie inspired by the infamous band that change the world The Beatles!  We even brought on a special guest to help digest this film.  Hippy, vintage baseball jock, and Beatle maniac Steve Stockmar!  Extracurricular topics include Who is LaLa, RFN the unofficial podcast of Portillo’s Big Beef, and MCU tie in battle. Yesterday is an incredible idea for a fun fantastical film that falls flat on its face into rom-com territory without much com.  The film starts off well exploring the idea of what if only one man knew The Beatles existed.  It quickly turns into a stale romantic comedy with very little comedy.  The acting is great and the new renditions of classic Beatles tunes are really well done.  It just did not really push the boundaries of the premise that is presented in the trailers.  Is this film worth a watch, yes. Should you run out and watch it in a theater, no. Wait until it comes out in Redbox or on one of the many streaming services.  Guest host and Beatles nut Steve of the house Stockmaratheon gives Yesterday 2 out of 5 Reels.  Mike Talent enjoyed the film more than Matt and Steve but for some reason he has the exact same rating as Matt?!?  They both give Danny Boyle’s latest film 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Since you got a double sized episode this week we are only giving you one.  Next week Mike and Matt will review the final MCU movie of the year and last Phase 4 film Spider-Man: Far From Home.  If the guys make the time they will get you a second pod next week most likely a Legacy Cast since we have been slacking on those with all the summer films.  Have an incredible 4th of July and chat at you next week.
