Advertise on podcast: Coming Off The Reels

This week we are talking about the new horror film, Primate. This was kind of a last minute episode that we recorded in the parking lot of our local AMC, and while microphones were brought, the screens that go over them were not. We are left with a pretty bad sounding show, but we are still posting it, warts and all. Enjoy!

Here is the last episode in out “Best Franchise” bracket episode. It was a little late at night when we recorded it, so you know that means it is our best material. Enjoy!

This week a couple of us catch up on some of the movies we’ve watched the last week or two, Predator: Badlands, Frankenstein, and then just some random odds and ends, just for fun. Enjoy!

Sorry for the delay, but you know, sometimes…life. Anyway, here is another long episode where we further break down the list of “The Best Franchise of All Time”. The first round was easy, now people’s feelings start getting hurt. Enjoy!

This is is the first of 3 long episodes we recorded where we tried to break down which is the best franchise of all time. We made a “march madness” style bracket, 64 franchises, one winner, but plenty of hurt feelings. Enjoy!

Yes, I am well aware that we have already done two episodes about Jaws, but in the dying embers of summer 2025, we thought we would once again record on the absolute best summer movie, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws. Enjoy!

It has been kind of a tough run for Marvel lately. Nothing really seems to be working out the way they want. Fantastic Four: First Steps kicks off the latest phase in the ever expanding MCU, but that doesn’t mean people will care about it. Does this live up to our Marvel standard? I guess you have to listen…because this is a podcast, and not a newspaper article. Enjoy!

For well over a decade, we have argued about the quality of the Superman films. The fights about Supes killing Zod in Man of Steel has literally been one of the defining qualities of a couple of us on this show. When another new Superman movie was announced, and it was to be directed by James Gunn, we were torn between optimist and cynicism. Gunn has certainly been a divisive director in the past, but would he continue that trend? Anyway…here is our Superman (2025) episode.

This week we are talking about the latest film from Danny Boyle, 28 Years Later, and a movie about how nepo babies are are taking over Hollywood, Novocain. Enjoy!

It took us 30 years to get here, but the Mission: Impossible franchise has finally come to an end…until they soft reboot it in a few years. Our opinions are as varied as the quality of the MI films in general, and while we may not agree about the last entry, we all agree that it’s better than the second one. When you find that kind of common ground, the rest of the stuff is just details. Enjoy!

Is there anything better than being really, truly surprised by a movie? Could I have imagined a world where Final Destination Bloodlines placed itself in the running for the “Best of 2025” list and also damn near made me cry along the way? No, but here we are. What a surprise. Enjoy!

We all know that Marvel has had kind of a tough time lately. All of their movies feel like carbon copies of better Marvel movies that came before. Thunderbolts* had the advantage of being full of characters that people don’t really care about that much. Nothing to lose, everything to gain. Enjoy!

This is a movie that I cannot get out of my head. The way it was shot, the music, the acting, the message…absolutely amazing. I care more about you going to see this movie than I do you listening to this podcast, but if you also enjoyed Sinners, and want to listen to us gush about how much we liked it, we will be here. Enjoy!

The perfect double feature does exist…it just may not be these two movies. Or maybe it is these two movies. Yeah…this is probably as good as it gets. Enjoy!

No need to mince words, this is one of the worst movies we’ve seen in a long time. (please know that the “we” mentioned above does not reflect the views of Roy King, who “kinda liked” this movie) Enjoy!
