The Reel Movie Critics

The Josh Zodiac

Where cinema meets sarcasm and TV gets the tough love it deserves! Join us as we dive deep into the latest blockbusters, hidden gems, and binge-worthy series — all while serving up honest opinions, witty banter, and a sprinkle of “did-they-really-just-say-that?” energy. We’re not just critics — we’re reel critics. Expect laughs, heated debates, and the occasional existential crisis over a bad sequel. If it’s on screen, we’ve got something to say about it… and probably a few jokes too.

    Grab your popcorn, lock your doors, and prepare for a comedy-horror massacre as we dive headfirst into Scary Movie 6! We're slicing through the gags, dodging the jump scares, and trying to figure out how many horror franchises got caught in the parody crossfire this time around. From outrageous spoofs and ridiculous cameos to jokes that hit harder than a masked killer with Wi-Fi, we're breaking down everything this sequel brings to the scream table. Join us as we separate the killer laughs from the dead-on-arrival punchlines, uncover hidden references, and ask the important questions—like who keeps giving Ghostface everyone's phone number? Whether you're a horror fanatic, a comedy junkie, or just here for the absurdity, this review is packed with laughs, spoilers, and enough bad decisions to fill an entire horror movie. Consider this your warning: spoilers are loose, and they're coming from inside the podcast!

    Obsession (2026)

    Love can be a dangerous game, and Obsession (2026) proves that sometimes the biggest red flag is waving right in your face! In this spoiler-filled review, we dive headfirst into the twists, turns, shocking reveals, and all the questionable decisions that had us yelling at the screen. We'll break down what worked, what didn't, and whether this thriller kept us hooked—or left us wanting a restraining order. Spoiler Warning: If you haven't seen Obsession yet, watch the movie, and come back. From major plot points to the ending, nothing is off-limits in this discussion. You've been warned!

  4. The Mandalorian and Grogu (Spoilers!!)

    The Mandalorian and Grogu (Spoilers!!)

    This week on the pod, we’re going full hyperspace into the spoiler-filled chaos of The Mandalorian & Grogu! From Grogu stealing snacks faster than Han Solo making bad decisions, to Mando proving once again that “This Is The Way” really means “I’m adopting every kid in the galaxy,” we break down every blaster shot, lightsaber tease, and deep-cut Easter egg hidden tighter than Palpatine’s backup cloning budget. We catch references to everything from The Empire Strikes Back and Rebels to the Holiday Special nobody admits exists… but Disney definitely remembers. We also talk about that wild cameo that hit harder than a Wookiee body slam, the return of classic Star Wars creatures that looked like they escaped Mos Eisley at closing time, and whether Grogu is secretly becoming the galaxy’s smallest crime boss. Plus: Pedro Pascal’s helmet gets more screen time than some MCU heroes, the soundtrack slaps harder than a Tusken Raider ambush, and somebody PLEASE explain how Din Djarin still has functioning knees after all those jetpack landings. So grab your blue milk, avoid the Sarlacc pit of online spoilers, and join us as we laugh, rant, and fanboy our way through a galaxy far, far away. Warning: spoilers are flying around this episode faster than an X-Wing trench run — and unlike Stormtroopers, we actually hit our targets.

  5. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

    May 19

    A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

    Grab your caffeine, stay awake, and join us as we dive headfirst into A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors — the movie that asked, “What if therapy… but Freddy Krueger showed up with one-liners?” We’re breaking down the dream powers, the gloriously over-the-top kills, and why this may be the only horror movie where a sleep study doubles as a body count. From Patricia Arquette battling Freddy before she was talking to dead people on TV, to Dokken delivering a theme song louder than Freddy scraping pipes down a hallway, we’re covering all the nightmare fuel with plenty of laughs mixed in. So put on your dream helmets, avoid suspiciously creepy janitors, and remember: in this podcast review, the only thing getting slashed harder than Freddy’s victims is our sleep schedule.

  6. Top Gun

    Apr 27

    Top Gun

    Strap in, throttle forward, and prepare for a high-G dive into Top Gun—the film that turned aviators into rockstars and volleyball into a tactical sport. In this episode, we break down the movie with the precision of a carrier landing and just enough irreverence to make Goose proud. From Maverick’s need for speed (and occasional need for supervision) to Iceman’s frosty professionalism, we navigate the dogfights, bromance, and aerodynamic haircuts that defined a generation. Expect plenty of aviation jargon—some accurate, some… creatively interpreted—as we debate whether inverted MiG encounters are standard procedure and why every pilot seems to have a call sign but zero chill. We’ll also touch on the real-world flying behind the fantasy, separating Hollywood afterburner from actual aerodynamics, all while cracking jokes faster than a jet on a low pass. Whether you’re an aviation nerd, a movie buff, or just here for the Kenny Loggins soundtrack energy, this episode is cleared for takeoff .Link to my LinkTree page to access my socials and where to find my podcast: https://linktr.ee/reelzodiacproductions Wanna ask the show a question?

  7. Big Trouble in Little China

    Apr 20

    Big Trouble in Little China

    In this episode, we dive headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of Big Trouble in Little China—a movie where logic takes a backseat and Kurt Russell’s swagger drives the bus straight into supernatural chaos. We unpack everything from ancient sorcerers with glowing eyes to a hero who thinks he’s the main character… but might actually just be along for the ride. Expect hot takes, questionable theories, and at least one argument about whether Jack Burton is brave, clueless, or a perfect combination of both. We’ll also explore how this cult classic somehow blends martial arts, magic, and 80s cheese into something that absolutely shouldn’t work—but totally does. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when John Carpenter cranks the dial to “why not?” and refuses to turn it back, this episode is your ticket. Buckle up, keep your reflexes sharp, and remember: it’s all in the reflexes… even if we have no idea what that means.
