Episode #265: Morbius

Welcome kiddos to another Reel Film Nerds pod! Today Matt and Mike chat about the latest Sony Marvel movie Morbius starring Jared Leto and Matt Smith. Additional topics include a new movie giveaway, the Sinister Six, and film drones. Well we have a rare but fun occurrence, Mike and Matt really do not agree on Morbius. Mike thinks it’s an adequate blockbuster style film that was enjoyable but not a must see. Matt on the other hand does not understand why this movie exists. He really did not like it at all and can’t recommend anyone to go see it. Michael Morbius, played by Jared Leto, is attempting to cure his lifelong crippling disease by experimenting with bat DNA. Things go horribly awry, turning himself into a blood thirsty vampire. There are some redeeming qualities in Morbius, the acting by Leto and co-star Smith is actually very good. The story is the major issue with this film. It’s very lackluster, uninspired, and boring. Mike awards Morbius 3 out of 5 Reels while Matt awards it half that, 1.5 out of 5 Reels.     For next week’s podcast Mike sends us to the theaters two weeks in a row with the latest Bay Bang Ambulance (2022) starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
