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.
This is two grown men weaponizing ADHD in real time.
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.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!Check us out on our website her

Ep.127 - Ted
Welcome to our Ted talk - where in this unique case, we are in fact discussing Ted. Nope.. not Lasso. Yep, the teddy bear attached at the hip with Marky Mark. One of Mark's first comedies, while Seth MacFarlane provides his voice for comic relief yet again. You'll get a lot out of this episode, and while only some of it may be related to Ted... pretty much all of it is related to pop culture.Check us out on our website here at: www.thedecisionreel.comOur Socials:Facebook: www.facebook.co

Ep.125 - Big Daddy
Whose your daddy? In this case Adam Sandler pretends to be. A true story of "who raised who?" with plenty of comedy built it, does this still hold up as one of Sandler's best?

Join us for this special episode as we are joined by a special guest while we dicuss the 1999 super hero movie? Mystery Men: Champion City already has a superhero, the appropriately named Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear), but that doesn't deter the city's seven quirky amateur crime-fighters, who use the Captain's capture at the hands of villain Casanova Frankenstein (Geoffrey Rush) as motivation to prove themselves. The only problem is that their strange powers -- silverware hurling, bowling, shov

Ep.228 - The Hangover
This week on The Decision Reel, we're heading to Las Vegas and trying to piece together the absolute disaster that is The Hangover. A missing groom. A tiger in a hotel room. A baby in a closet. And somehow that's only the beginning. Join us as we break down one of the most quotable comedies of the 2000s, the incredible chemistry between Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis, and why this movie became a comedy phenomenon almost overnight. Of course, we try to review the movie, but end u

Ep.227 - Men In Black
This week on The Decision Reel, we put on the suits, the shades, and immediately prove we are wildly unqualified to join Men in Black. We’re talking Will Smith at peak cool, Tommy Lee Jones at peak “I’m too old for this alien nonsense,” and a movie that somehow made a talking pug and a tiny dude in a robot body feel completely normal. We attempt to break down the plot—but quickly get distracted arguing about how terrible we’d be as agents, how many times we’d accidentally neuralyze ourselves, an

Ep.226 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II Secret of the Ooze
Cowabunga, nostalgia just got a theatrical re-release. This week on The Decision Reel, we dive shell-first into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze as it returns to theaters for its 35th anniversary. Does it still ooze that late-80s/early-90s magic, or has time turned this cult classic into mutant mush? We break down the comedy, the costumes, the Vanilla Ice chaos, and whether this sequel actually hits harder than we remember—or if it’s all just T-U-R-T-L-E powered nostalgia. Exp

Ep.225 - The Fifth Element
Multi-pass… and maximum chaos! This week on The Decision Reel, Steve and Wally dive into The Fifth Element, the colorful over-the-top sci-fi adventure that somehow combines space opera, comedy, opera singing, and Chris Tucker at full volume. We break down Bruce Willis’ reluctant hero energy, Milla Jovovich’s iconic performance, the wild world-building, and why this movie feels like a live-action cartoon in the best way possible. Does it still hold up as a sci-fi classic, or is it just pure 90s w

Ep.224 - Terminator 2: Judgement Day
James Cameron said “hold my liquid metal” and delivered one of the greatest action sequels ever. This week we break down Terminator 2: Judgment Day — a movie where a killer robot dad tries to protect the future, a 10-year-old teaches him how to say “Hasta la vista,” and the T-1000 melts, reforms, and melts again more times than we can count.

Ep.223 - Escape From L.A.
This week on The Decision Reel, Steve and Wally take on Escape from L.A. and immediately derail the episode by asking the most important question of all time: Is this just Metal Gear Solid? From Snake Plissken’s attitude and stealth vibes to authoritarian futures and over-the-top villains, we connect the dots between John Carpenter’s cult sequel and Kojima’s legendary games. Less subtle analysis, more chaos — just the way Snake would want it. 📱 Follow Us on Social Media: 🎥 Instagram: @thedecisio
