Episode #150: Jumanji: The Next Level

We did it!  The boys finally watched and reviewed a film in the theaters after a two week hiatus thanks to Matt not knowing how to read.  This week Mike and Matt sit down with a supercalifragilistic guest and animal expert to finally review Jumanji: The Next Level.  Off topic topics include harsh reality of social media, animals: fact versus fiction, and a bun in the oven, wait what?!?!  Buckle up you are in for a fun double sized RFN pod! Jumanji: The Next Level is a film most of us were expecting if you watched Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.  It is just more of the same but bigger and badder like most sequels in the world.  More characters, more action sequences, and bigger sets all help bolster the film. The story is nothing special even bad at times and the impressions could be improved well most of the impressions.  It was great to see the return of all the characters and actors from the previous movie but this sequel in the end feels like a cash grab. Should you go out and watch Jumanji: The Next Level in theaters, according to Mike, Matt, and their guest nope.  It is not worth it, just wait for a streaming or rental service to see it.  Again it is not a bad movie it is just mediocre at best. If you can’t wait for Star Wars Episode IX then sure you won’t be disappointed but you won’t be impressed either.  If you can believe it Matt and Mike both agree again! Jumanji: The Next Level earns a 2.5 out of 5 Reels.  Our super special guest is a tiny bit more lenient awarding the film 3 out of 5 Reels. Next week it’s the big one, the final one, Matt’s reason to live, Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker review!!  But wait there’s more, our next podcast before our big review of The Wars is a Rise of Skywalker predictions and guesses episode suggested by RFN superfan Steve Stockmar and implemented by Mysterious Mike.  Thanks for tuning in we hope you enjoyed our guest and chat with you later this week!
