Episode 89- Zorro the Gay Blade (1981)

Zorro, the legendary swordsman, has passed on his weapon and his sense of duty to his noble son, Diego (George Hamilton), a dashing swashbuckler like his father. But after an injury sidelines Diego, he is forced to hand the mask over to his flamboyantly gay twin, Ramon (also Hamilton), who prefers to be called Bunny Wigglesworth. While Ramon agrees to take on the guise of Zorro, he decides to add his own flair, with garishly glittering costumes -- and a whip in place of the iconic sword.
Reel Feels is both celebrating and wrapping up Pride Month with our LGBTQ genre film, a pick that Nathan has cherished since childhood, 1981's "Zorro: The Gay Blade"!  George Hamilton is outstanding in this film and we had a great time watching it. A first watch for Drew and Jack and they were not disappointed.  The quick witted lines, banter of the characters and who can forget the colorful outfits?  We discuss our views and appreciation for the LGBTQ community in our segment section and even give our hometown a little love. To everyone who identifies and calls the LGBTQ Community their home, just know that we see you, we hear you and we're glad you're here.  You, just like everyone else, are the Reelest and the Feelest!  
We are the Reel Feels Podcast, every other Wednesday we'll bring you a new movie with all the feels you can handle.  We'll laugh, we'll cry and possibly restrain the frustrations to curse the heavens. But what you can count on is three guys sharing their love of cinema with you.

Episode 88- The Abyss (1989)

Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio are formerly married petroleum engineers who still have some issues to work out. They are drafted to assist a gung-ho Navy SEAL (Michael Biehn) with a top-secret recovery operation: a nuclear sub has been ambushed and sunk, under mysterious circumstances, in some of the deepest waters on Earth.
We get our feet wet with this late 80's sci-fi staple. This is a favorite that host Jack very much enjoys and was super eager to share it with us.  We discuss the history of the filming, which reported accounts say was a nightmare.  The early CGI and a wonderful score by a talented individual, Alan Silvestri.  Ed Harris gives a wonderful performance and we can't forget Michael Biehn being super crazy!  But we can't forget that Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio is the "bitch" that we all love to remember.  So suit up Reel Feels fans and get ready to dive deep... into The Abyss.

Episode 87- Sleepers (1996)

Four teenage friends from Hell's Kitchen end up being sent to reform school after almost killing a man. There they are brutalized by the guards. John (Ron Eldard) and Tommy (Billy Crudup) grow up to be hit men who recognize their abuser years later and kill him. Their trial is prosecuted by another member of their gang, who is now the assistant DA.
 
We're happy to have our "first" Patreon episode of Season 4: Fellowship of the Feels.  One of the newest members to the Reel Feels Patreon Family, Mario, has chosen a film that he truly has the feels for and is dead set on having us review. 1996's "Sleepers" is... whew... heavy is probably the only word for it.  There's no denying the talent of the cast, the writing is well done and even the music by podcast favorite John Williams.  But man, oh man, this was a rough watch due to the subject matter.  Still Mario brought to some of us a first time watch and we're always excited to see what our patrons have in store for us.

Episode 86- Liar Liar (1997)

Conniving attorney Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) is an ace in the courtroom, but his dishonesty and devotion to work ruin his relationships. His wife, Audrey (Maura Tierney), has left him for a more dependable man, and Fletcher often breaks the commitments he makes to his beloved son, Max (Justin Cooper). When Max wishes his dad would stop lying for 24 hours, Fletcher suddenly finds that he can only speak the truth -- on the day his career-deciding court case has to be won.
 
Let's head on back to 90's for what can be considered the peak of comedy for Jim Carrey!  The Reel Feels guys are gushing nostalgia with this film from the physical comedy, the quotable lines, and of course... Jennifer Tilly.  This one brings back a lot of memories and most of them are filled with laughter. The guys discuss the possible alternates who could've played Fletcher, the music and the supporting cast as well.  This movie definitely still holds up for Reel Feels. What about you?
