The Reel Buffs

Batman Begins (2005)

It’s not who we are on the inside, but what we do that defines us. And what we are doing for this episode is revisiting the first installment in the Dark Knight trilogy, Batman Begins (2005). Matt and Charlie discuss what they love best about this reboot of the Caped Crusader. Everything from the practical effects to the score hits hard, but is this the best reboot Batman has ever had? And is this the best super hero origin film? The Buffs discuss all this and more.

Wedding Crashers (2005)

WE ARE BACK! After a little bit of a hiatus we are back for our first episode of 2025. Since this is the thick of wedding season, we are revisiting the 2005 romcom / buddy comedy Wedding Crashers. This movie is endlessly quotable and always fun to visit, but how does it stack up against its contemporaries of the same year? All this, plus the categories.

Pulp Fiction (1994)

‘What does Marsellus Wallace look like?’ For our last episode of 2024, and conclusion to our 1995 Oscars discussion, we are doing a deep dive on Quintin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. With a star studded ensemble, sharp writing and a banger of a soundtrack Pulp Fiction is one of the coolest movies ever made. But did Pulp truly get robbed during the Oscars, or did the Academy get it right?

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

“I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living, or get busy dying.” We continue our 1995 Oscars discussion with one of the best Stephen King adaptions to ever grace the big screen, The Shawshank Redemption. Written and directed by Frank Darabont, Shawshank has become one of the most celebrated films of the century, despite it absolutely bombing at the box office. Matt and Charlie discuss all this, plus new categories! . . . #film #movies #criticism #Shawshank #StephenKing #MorganFreeman #nostalgia #1995Oscars #VHS #VideoStoreRental  SOCIALS https://www.instagram.com/thereelbuffs/ https://www.threads.net/@thereelbuffs https://www.instagram.com/sir_charles_mac/ https://www.instagram.com/matthewtylerr/ https://www.instagram.com/hopsgeeknews/ https://letterboxd.com/thereelbuffs/list/the-reel-buffs-podcast-ratings/ CONTACT hosts@reelbuffspod.com
