“Hey, guys. I’be known about this podcast for quite some time as I’ve been a big fan of Jake’s (going all the way back to his Houston Chronicle days). Growing up my family and I were always known as the movie buff family as our parents made a point to show us films that were important to them or that they appreciated. It was a lot of musicals and military movies in our household. As I graduated HS I attempted to begin a Journalism degree so that I may one day review films like y’all. Soon I learned traditional school wasn’t my cup of tea and subsequently submerged myself in a service industry career working around 90 to 100hrs a week. (Shoutout to my fellow restaurant workers). I went from the guy who saw 3-4 new movies a week and amassing a 956 DVD collection to the guy who maybe saw 3-4 new movies a year.
When COVID-19 shut down dining back in March I was completely lost and had no idea what to do with spare time let alone how to enjoy it. So I started your podcast from the very beginning. Yep. I’ve listened to every single word y’all have published and have FINALLY caught up. With each new episode I abided by your reviews and recommendations, watching the movies whether new or old so that I may catch up with the latest and greatest. It revived the young cinephile in me and brought back a much needed joy in my life.
The only way I think the show could improve would be to bring back the guest hosts you did way back in the early days. You had one Latinx writer and one female writer and that was the extent of your diversity. The show constantly brings up that different movies will affect people different ways and as much as I LOVE you four boys I’m beginning to predict how each of you might feel about a certain films since I know so much about you. And as a proud queer latinx man certain films like Spanglish (2004) or Weekend (2011) are films that I find incredible but may not receive the recognition from you 4 straight white males since you won’t relate to them the way I might. Perhaps this could be something addressed with the YouTube channel or even the premium show.
Regardless, I cannot thank you enough for producing this show. Sorry for being long winded but I wanted to let you know that ReelBlend has helped me so much in this last year. At a time when we can be with family the way we want to, your bantering and arguing about movies made me feel right at home since it’s identical to the way my 3 brothers and I act when we debate movies. One minute we may be screaming at each other due to differing opinions and the next minute we all crack up at a really bad pun. Additionally, you boys were literally with me every step of the way as I pounded the pavements for months and months in search of gainful employment. You’ll never know how much your show has lifted me and helped me keep walking when I was at my lowest. Much love and continued success to you all. -Felipe Medina”

“I’ve heard time and time again that podcasts are one of the best ways to calm down and get rid of stress. Being the film nut I am, naturally I decided to look for a movie podcast. After cycling through multiple film podcasts that I really couldn’t get in to, I found the perfect one. The three...”Read full review »
