CinemaChat Podcast w/Rob & Brent…and Reggie

Reggie and I couldn't sync up this week (our cycles are off), but I recorded a packed episode for you by myself. I hope you enjoy hearing about what I watched this week and what's coming out in September.
There's also some movie news! From Harry Potter and Highlander reboots to Dwayne Johnson’s wild new role and The Conjuring breaking box office records, this week’s movie news is packed with reboots, surprises, and big-screen magic.

This week’s episode was sparked by longtime patron ConstancioD, who asked a fun, behind-the-scenes question: What podcasts do we actually listen to—and why?
You’ll learn about our tastes beyond the big screen—like wrestling, scams, geek culture, comedy, and more—and what makes a podcast worth sticking with.

Reggie and Brent are here to review our August patron request from Daggerd.  It's a movie that was intended to stretch Reggie's perception of Will Ferrell, but it was actually Brent that had never seen it!  Was it worth the wait for us to review, Stranger Than Fiction (2016).
