The Decision Reel
TDR
The Decision Reel is a movie review podcast where hosts Steve and Wally dive into films of every genre—from timeless classics to cult favorites to the latest releases.
If you’re here for serious, thoughtful film analysis, congratulations: you have taken a horribly wrong turn.
If you like unhinged tangents, questionable opinions, and two dudes who truly believe they're staying on topic (they are not), then The Decision Reel is the perfect podcast to lose your mind with.
Welcome to The Decision Reel — where the movies are optional, the rants are inevitable, and sanity left the chat years ago.
New Episodes some Thursdays.
New to the show? Start on Episode 10.....we figured it out then.

Ep.144 - The Nice Guys
This week we're discussing The Nice Guys - well partially... we should start with a disclosure: Steve and Tara should not be left alone to run episodes. BUT when we did discuss it, we agree we both would recommend this movie! It's not talked about enough, and it's worth the watch. Also, even with a dynamic duo like Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe - neither of us picked them as our favorite character. You'll have to watch to see what we said!... about a lot of things.😇

Ep.142 - Halloween H20
Mike is back for some reason 20 years later and this time Laurie fights back! We stab right into this one right off the bat and cut this movie deep! How well does this Halloween stack up against the rest, or is this movie even good enough to watch on Halloween?

Ep.141 - The Babadook
To continue our Halloween season picks - this week we cover The Babadook. This movie comes with slightly heavy, but needed background context - where the villain in this plot is also the victim. With mental health being the driving force behind the "monster", can this be considered a decent horror movie if you remove the overarching theme? Is it only terrifying because it can be relatable? Is it a good movie if you separate it from the horror category? We also take a bite out of what type of candy you are and what that means....

Ep.139 - Jurassic Park
We continue our Spooky Season picks with a movie that understandably spooked us when we were younger - Jurassic Park! Dinosaurs that used to be extinct escaping and attacking people? - yea that could be scary. While this classic is still easily enjoyable to watch today - do the effects and animatronics hold up? How does it compare to the newer additions of the Jurassic series? Is this one of our highest rated movies we've reviewed? Join us to hear our thoughts!

Ep.137 - Hook
This week we not only went with a classic, but a Robin Williams classic. The story of Peter Pan all grown up finding his way back to his old self to save his children, this movie is full of heartfelt moments, pirates, comic relief, dark tendencies, growth, nostalgia, and a food fight (or was it?).. longer than you'd expect for a movie like this from the early 90s, but always worth a watch. Oh yea... and Tara cried again.

Ep.136 - Little Giants
This week we "tackle" a classic sports flick - Little Giants - where a rag tag group of misfits with unfortunate athletic abilities (and Becky the Ice Box) come together to challenge the hometown team, and themselves in some good ol fashioned football. Is the takeaway how everyone should be given a chance? Or is it about two brothers learning to appreciate each other? Or is it just your typical unrealistic triumph story? Well we have some debates on that... tune in to hear us hash it all out - and shed a few tears... but probably could not predict why!
