Reggie Ponder, The Reel Critic, reviews the latest movies. As a film critic for 91.1 FM Chicago/Vocalo.com for over a decade, Reggie brings his own brand of movie discussion to the podcast world. Have you ever noticed how film critics like movies the masses don’t and dislike movies the masses like? Well Reggie considers himself part of the masses who just so happens to have a platform. It’s not film criticism (holding his nose to signal he might be above the commoner); It’s movie discussion. Yes, this podcast is a monologue but it is designed to create a dialogue. Reggie will talk about what the movie is about, the stars, celebrities, director and producers, what’s to like, what’s not to like and how he rates the film. His “Musings” section will explore issues that makes him go hmm? And Reggie will periodically add a section "Ponder This" to highlight issues that people of color may have noticed and how the Hollywood might have done a great job of addressing diversity issues or how the industry could do better. This is for regular folks who like to talk about movies.

The Reel Critic Movie Review - Just Mercy
Reggie Ponder talks about the movie Just Mercy, Starring Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson.
What's it about
A powerful and thought-provoking true story, “Just Mercy” follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Larson). One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Foxx), who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the only testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings and overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds—and the system—stacked against them.
