Nothing But Reel Reviews & More

Helloooooooo people! This week we're reviewing a movie that literally (not literally) everyone has seen! This week we bring you Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory which stars Gene Wilder, not the crappy remake with Johnny Depp. In this episode we ramble (as usual), and think way too into the universe this is set in, and how Willy Wonka might possibly be a murderer.. Join us to get a clue about what I'm talking about.  Also, check send us an email at podcast@nothingbutreelreviews.com and let us know a movie you want to review!

In odd fashion, we decided to review Odd Thomas this week. That was a poor decision because there were some.. different choices made during the production of this film. Twisted through a spectrum of tones, this film is saved by the last few minutes and Anton Yelchin's performance. Check out our show for the full bashfest. We also give you our Top 5 guilty pleasures - which are all amazing of course. If you've never listened before, definitely check us out!  Also, send us an email at podcast@nothingbutreelreviews.com and let us know what you think of our show! We'll read it on air.

Early released episode because why not! Recently a bunch of the reviewers at NBRR&M went and saw Hell or High Water, and we liked it so much, we vetoed the listener request so we could review this! Starring Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine, and Ben Foster, Hell Or High Water is a masterpiece that brings in amazing acting to a awesomely directed tale. Check out this episode on why you NEED to see this film. (We graded it pretty high.)  Also, if you would like to be a guest on our show send us an email at podcast@nothingbutreelreviews.com. While you're doing that, let us know what you think of our show, and give us a movie you want us to review.

A review of the oldest of the new Star Trek movies is finally here! Starring Chris Pine, Karl Urban, and Zachary Quinto among others, this J.J. Abrams franchise-reboot strikes gold. We dive deep into the Trek universe, breaking down and discussing everything from the lens-flare riddled visuals to the over emotional Spock. Listen in and hear what we have to say about this new classic.  Also, a new website is coming! For those of you wanting to email us, our new email from here on out is: podcast@nothingbutreelreviews.com.

The term "having zero expectations" sums up our thoughts before watching this week's listener request, Magic Mike. The film, which stars Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, and Cody Horn, is much more than just fan-service to ladies everywhere. While it does have several scenes with men stripping, the story goes far beyond that. It surprised a few of our reviewers to say the least. Check out this week's review on Magic Mike. Also, great news! We have officially bought at website domain and are beginning the building of said website!

I'm going to be coy about telling you which movie we review in this episode, but if you need some help guessing I'll give you a Clue. That is more than you'll get from this week's movie to try to figure out the Scooby-Doo type murder mystery. With an almost impossible amount of evidence to point out the right murderer, Clue is an a wonderful 80's flick that had most of us laughing. Starring mostly nobody's aside Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd, it brings the board-game to life in this adaptation. Check out this episode to get our full thoughts! As always (like you haven't seen the film already) spoilers ahead.

In this week's listener request, we bring you Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind. Although it has not been confirmed, this flick is the film adaptation of Chuck Barris' memoir in which he says he was a CIA operative and hitman, while hosting and creating several game shows. The film stars several big names, including Sam Rockwell, George Clooney, and Drew Barrymore to name a few, but none of them are on Rockwell's level during this amazing performance. Check out this episode to get our full thoughts on the film! Be sure to check out last week's episodes of NBRR&M as they were total gems! As always, spoilers ahead.

Better late than never! The podcast the world has been waiting for is finally here, a review of the Philip K. Dick novel turned Spielberg classic, Minority Report. Starring Tom Cruise and Colin Farrell, this masterpiece is set in a world in which murders can be predicted and stopped before they happen. However, when crime-prevention Detective John Anderton, played by Tom Cruise, is put in the middle of a murder plot, things only get more interesting. Tune in to this episode to find out what we thought of this flick, and check out all of our other episodes! As always, spoilers ahead.

YES! The hotly anticipated review of Fast Five! It has been a long time coming, and damn are we glad it's here! Join us as we dive deep into this mess of an action flick that stars Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, and Ludacris, just to name a few. We're not even going to waste your time by explaining the film, because if you're not familiar with the Fast & Furious franchise, you must be living under a rock. Definitely check out this episode and all of our others, but beware, spoilers ahead. Also, if you have not already checked out Full Hard Podcast you definitely need to hop on that train as well! This past week, NBRR&M host Mike Lucas joined Josh and JJ from Full Hard to discuss films and do a little trivia! Full Hard is a weekly show of smart-ass commentary on pop-culture, politics, and pretty much everything else! Find them at fullhardpodcast.com.

We're all up for films being new and different, but It Follows might have taken that to another level. In what is "best" described as an std demon, It Follows has exactly this, and for some reason it works! The film as a whole, not the demon. This week we broke down a film of this horror film, and gave it surprisingly good scores. Be sure to check out this episode, and all of our other NBRR&M episodes. Just a friendly heads-up, spoilers ahead.

In a NBRR&M first, we decide to review the review of an awful, awful movie. That's right, we are reviewing a film from Mystery Science Theater 3000! And boy was this one a stinker! Although MST3K are intentionally awful movies, this one may take the cake. Not even witty banter or small side scenes could save this one. Check out this episode to get the full scoop on how bad Space Mutiny really is. Also, we are now on Stitcher! Yaaaaaaay!

Hell yeah we're talking about Keanu this week, but we're not reviewing The Matrix or Speed. No, we're actually reviewing Keanu. As in the Key and Peele film about the super cute and cuddly cat named Keanu. Check us out this week as we break down what makes the TV series turned movie-spectacular successful, and how it falls flat. Listen to this, and all of our other episodes and let us know what you think by sending us an email to lethargicmedia@gmail.com! Spoilers Ahead!

Nothing says Monday like a listener request episode of NBRR&M! Let's kick in this work-week with the sounds of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. This film stars many recognizable faces, but just few recognizable names (aside from Jason Statham who does a disappointing amount of backflips in this flick.) Although many consider this crime-comedy a solid piece, it left some of our reviewers feeling not the same. Check out this episode of NBRR&M, as always spoilers ahead! Also, send us an email at lethargicmedia@gmail.com and let us know what you think of the show!

Whether it was initially intended to be part of the Cloverfield franchise or not, 10 Cloverfield Lane is still part of the same universe. This week we here at NBRR&M broke down 10 Cloverfield Lane. In this film you get exceptional acting from John Goodman, along with an extremely interesting storyline! But don't take this text box's word for it, check out our full audio version of the review! (I mean that's why you came to this page anyway.) As always, spoilers ahead!

Not gonna lie, this episode is pretty dope. This week we dove into a hotly anticipated viewer request, Dope. The film stars several no names, with ASAP Rocky, a rapper, being the biggest on the sheet. When Malcolm gets stuck selling drugs to make his way into Harvard (totally makes more sense in the context of the film) wacky antics ensue. Check out this episode, every other episode, and Dope!

The Fountain, an extremely emotionally touching movie. That is of course if you have a soul. We break down Hugh Jackman's amazing acting, as well as all of the key components on what makes The Fountain the movie it is. Also, we break down the totally ambiguous ending to help you think about it yourself! Be sure to check out this episode, and every other episode of NBRR&M.

What on Earth could possibly be better than a movie starring two of the world's best actors? A movie review podcast reviewing that movie, that's what! This week we dive deep into The Revenant. Starring Leonardo Dicaprio and Tom Hardy, this Alejandro Inarittu film is about Hugh Glass, an 1820s trapper who is seeking vengeance on a member of his hunting party after being left for dead. The film won multiple Oscars, including Leo's first. Check out this episode, as well as all of our others! Spoilers ahead.

WEEEEEEE'RRREEEE BAAAAAACCCCKKKK! Sorry for such a long hiatus; vacations had to take place. Regardless, we bring you an excellent review of the Christopher Nolan masterpiece Memento. As always, we fill this episode with plenty terrible jokes, Bane impressions, but most importantly just amazingness in general. My description writing skills may have dropped off a bit since the last time I had to write one of these. Only a few people actually read this before actually clicking on the episode anyway. Enjoy the content! As always, spoilers may lie ahead. (They do.)

Not quite black, yet not quite white, this week we reviewed The Grey. Starring Liam Neeson, who's commonly referred to as "One Of The Most BA Old Guys Ever," this film takes place in the mighty tundra where our lead actor has to fight off dozens of hungry wolves. Awesome stuff. Check out this episode to get our full thoughts on this flick, as well as a new segment we introduced known as "We Were Gonna Give You A Gem Of The Week, However We Decided To Ramble About Star Wars For 20 Minutes." Look for more of those segments in the future. Also, savor this episode as we are taking a few weeks off to pursue vacations! Re-listen to our other episodes in the meantime, and be sure to send us an email at lethargicmedia@gmail.com!

Kevin Spacey is a good actor, and we learned that this week. Well we already knew that, but I guess we re-learned it. In what movie does he act goodly? The Usual Suspects, which by no coincidence is the listener request this week and the review attached to this description! Check out our review of the 1995 film that's led by Spacey and the chinless Stephen Baldwin.. among other people. This is an episode you won't want to miss. Heads up: We spoil the heck out of this movie, so if you have yet to see it, refrain from listening to the whole episode.
