"Joker" Gets Rekt
7 NOV 2019 · What do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner from Taxi Driver with a mentally ill loner from The King of Comedy with a mentally ill loner from the Batman universe? You get a blended margarita of insanity that can only be pulled off by Joaquin Phoenix...and you get a pretty damn good movie!
"Once Upon A Time in Hollywood" Gets Rekt
24 AUG 2019 · After a long hiatus, we actually managed to get everyone in the same room, at the same time, having watched the same movie...though this doesn't mean we are all on the same page. Shark, according to all his texts and seeing the movie twice, really liked it...but you would never be able to tell from hearing him speak on this episode. Erik, not a big fan of Quentin, mostly had a problem with the exorbitant length of the movie but was immensely impressed with Leo DiCaprio's acting. Paul simply hated everything about it - the meandering plot to nowhere, the fetishiszed violence against women, and the only discernable message of the movie being "if you want to get into the inner circle of Hollywood with pedophiles like Roman Polanski, you better be good with a flame thrower."Amy enjoyed the movie the most out of everyone, in large part due to Brad Pitt's relentless bad-assery and six-packery...and who can blame her, really?
The one thing everyone agreed on is that Quentin's portrayal of Bruce Lee was whacked out, wildly inaccurate and disrespectful. Quentin taking a pop-culture icon, universally beloved by everyone in the world, and disingenuously painting him as an arrogant ass, is a perfect example of a director lacking one of the most important tools in his tool set - someone that can tell him "No". Scary to think, that person probably used to be Harvey Weinstein!
"Avengers: Endgame" Gets Rekt
6 MAY 2019 · It is a rare occurrence when the whole Rekt crew actually likes a movie, and Endgame managed to make it into that rare company. It's hard to tell we liked it from listening to the show, because there is still quite a lot to gripe about, if you care for such things as logic, plot holes, and a movie following its own time travel rules. The disappointing thing was how strong the movie started out - with a real sense of loss, darkness and the aftermath of the infamous Thanos finger snap and some genuinely unexpected turns. The never-ending fan service also gets quite old, with constant references and flashbacks to earlier MCU movies. Some are integral to the plot and some are genuinely funny, but many other ones are unnecessary and if you are not a religiously obsessive fan, can get confusing.
The final battle is big, very cartoonish and strives to give every single character a chance to take a swing at Thanos. All that's missing is little league soccer style participation awards being handed out after. The post-battle wrap-up is fairly anti-climactic and kind of a drag. Where the movie starts out poignantly underscoring the immense loss felt by the world that lost 50% of it's population, perhaps a better ending would be to show the joy of everyday people, impossibly, getting their loved ones back, rather than focusing solely on the small clique of heroes and their personal catharses.
Flaws aside, most of the film is strong, entertaining and the sheer feat of landing such a huge thing after so many years and multiple story lines is quite impressive.
"Captain Marvel" Gets Rekt
19 APR 2019 · The Rekt krew chimes in on the do's and dont's of Captain Marvel and expound on the wider aspects of the MCU and the upcoming "Endgame" culmination.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" Gets Rekt
30 NOV 2018 · Is this the real life of Freddy Mercury? Is this just fantasy? Doesn't really matter to meeeeeeee.
"The Predator" Gets Rekt - Live on Caffeine.tv
25 SEP 2018 · On a very special episode of Rekt Reviews, the reking crew, ever-hungry for the affection of strangers, reviews "The Predator" with live streaming video on Caffeine.tv. Caffeine is a brand new live streaming video platform, (think Twitch, minus the sexist, racist troll infestation).
Amy - "The Predator is a national treasure!"Paul - "The greatest movie since "Gremlins!"Shark - "I can't believe you made me watch this piece of $H!t"Erik - "Kffshsst" (sound of microbrew cans openig"
"Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" Gets Rekt
28 JUL 2018 · Nobody really wanted to see this movie but since the previous Jurassic World was the very first episode of Rekt Reviews, we decided to review it for the sake of continuity and out of a misguided sense of sentimentality.
Amy finally gets included in the show intro, Shark manages to VERY accurately discern the plot without even having watched the movie, Amy invents a new strain of weed called "The Sad Brontosaurus", Paul comes up with a million dollar idea for Jason Momoa sex dolls and Erik drinks craft beers while calling for dinosaur violence to be more traumatic to little children.
"Solo: A Star Wars Story" Gets Rekt
4 JUN 2018 · "Solo: A Star Wars Story" Gets RektHear more shows like this at https://entertalkradio.com/rektreviews
Special guest, host of the "Eye on Simpsons" podcast and Star Wars apologist Nick joins the crew for this episode of Rekt. On the reking block is "Solo", the origin story of Han Solo no-one realized they needed. Star Wars is always controvercial subject matter so whether you liked or disliked this latest installment, you can be certain that you are wrong and your opinion is invalid. Tune in to find out why.
"Infinity War" Gets Rekt
3 MAY 2018 · The 10 year culmination of Marvel movies has all come to this, and it's time for Shark to bust out the long-promised Southern Comfort. It's time for the SoCo Loco Infinity War episode!
Most everyone was impressed with the way the movie managed to keep the myriad charactes and story arcs fairly organized, wihtout it being an overwhelming mess. The time taken to flesh out the main villain, Thanos is also commendable. Overall a very entertaining and competent movie, the main problem though (according to Erik) is the lack of stakes. Although [SPOILER ALERT] many key characters die at the end, it is clear that they are not really dead, considering there is an infinity stone which can reverse time, not to mention the fact that many of these characters' franchises are just starting out, having grossed millions and have more of their own movies already green-lit. So many of the sacrifices and heroic deaths ring a bit false. Overall though, whatever you love about the MCU, you will find it here, and Infinity War is probably one of the most impressive Marvel films to date.
"Annihilation" + Must See / Must Avoid Shows
7 APR 2018 · The idea was to review "Annhialation" and we partially succeded in doing so, although Shark didn't get to see it. What initially looked like a promising sci-fi mindbender, proved to be a disappoinitning and confusing mess. All the suspense leads to an ending that can best be described as cross between the endings of "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Black Swan". If that combination sounds nonsensical to you, you are absolutely not wrong.
Like the bioforms in Annhilation, our conversation metastasizes into a myriad colorful topics - basically a rundwon of who is watching what, currently. Amy finally goes public with the details of her past work as a voiceover actress for Hentai flicks.
