July 16, 2019 22:00 - 38 minutes - 70.8 MB

Hey everyone and welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews, only on The Brutally Honest Network.  For those of whom were holding out for Saw 13...Sam (Shots Fired), here it is, lol.  In all seriousness today we are reviewing a film that shocked a lot of us with the trailer.  Yes, it's another death or escape kind of film in the same vein as the Saw franchise, however taking a different spin.  This film, arguably with a largely no name cast aside from Tyler Labine of Reaper and Tucker & Dale Vs...

Brutally Honest Reviews | Bumblebee (2018) - "F*** Michael Bay"

July 09, 2019 22:00 - 57 minutes - 106 MB

Hey everyone and welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews, only on The Brutally Honest Network.  Today we are diving into a different kind of Transformers film.  You know, what that doesn't blow.  One that doesn't feature mediocre actors trying to save what little of a career they have or at the least we think they have.  You know, one that actually has a semblance of story and heart and isn't just "A CGI fuckfest".  God we hate Michael Bay for ruining a childhood classic.  This film stars Ha...

Brutally Honest Reviews | Q4 2018 Netflix Re-Cap (2018) - "Gouge My Eyes Out Like Birdbox"

July 02, 2019 22:00 - 46 minutes - 85.8 MB

Hey everyone and welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews, only on The Brutally Honest Network.  This, along with most our our recent episodes are older as we catch up to our 2019 Season.  Alas' this episode is more relevant to the streaming culture and you can still find all of the films we discuss on streaming services today.  We dive into three films from Q4 2018 that were hyped or otherwise talked about all across social media at the least.  The first, the Sandra Bullock post-apocalyptic ...

June 25, 2019 22:00 - 42 minutes - 78.2 MB

Hey everyone and welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews, only on The Brutally Honest Network.  We take a little bit of a down step this week in reviewing a film that probably shouldn't be reviewed.  Fun, none the less, "Holmes & Watson", John C. Reilly & Will Ferrell's most recent schlock film following a fictional take on Sherlock Holmes & his assistant Watson.  Dive in and see what we thought.  While not a necessary review, we certainly always have a lot of fun and keep it Brutally Honest...

Brutally Honest Reviews | The House That Jack Built (2018) - "Nobody Likes A Titty Purse"

June 11, 2019 22:00 - 43 minutes - 81.8 MB

Hey everyone and welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews, only on The Brutally Honest Network.  This week we get dark as we bring you one of the films that the average movie goer has not had the opportunity to see, sans of literally scouring all digital on demand resources possible.  Director Lars Von Trier has been known for his shocking, accurate, unflinching art house style films that depict Sex Addition, Drugs, Murder, Adultery and more on display and has certainly dealt with backlash.  ...

Brutally Honest Reviews | Mortal Engines (2018) - "And For That Matter, Mortal Storylines"

February 12, 2019 23:00 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MB

Hey everyone and welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews, only on The Brutally Honest Network. Mortal Engines was supposed to be the next epic, franchise starting pilot feature film from Director Peter Jackson. Unfortunately this was a literally and figuratively clunky movie with a lot of moving parts that the movie never explained. The characters with real weight in the film couldn't stand up to the bigger picture and that's why this entire living city came crashing down. Check out what ...

Hey everyone and welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews, only on The Brutally Honest Network. Today we are jumping back in to review one of 2018's biggest disappointments for us. In what was a more than passable trailer, The Mule falls so short. It's Clint Eastwood's latest Directorial & Starring effort. We couldn't help, but think that Clint Eastwood just wanted to dance with some pretty women. Check out what we thought and remember to always keep it Brutally Honest! Watch On Youtube:...

January 29, 2019 23:00 - 48 minutes - 44.3 MB

Hey everyone and welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews, only on The Brutally Honest Network. Today we have a review of Vice. What was expected to be one of the funniest takes on Political Commentary via the trailer, however ended up being a powerful, borderline monster movie on the Political giant that was Dick Cheney. The filmmakers did an incredible job of trying to please all audiences whilst delivering a supreme biopic on one of the most secretive politicians in world history. Check...

Hey everyone and welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews, only on The Brutally Honest Network. This time we are sharing one of the best movies of 2018.

Hey everyone and welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews, only on The Brutally Honest Network. Here is an example how not to lead your new presidential campaign or your new year, unless you are an adulterous pig. That's not giving away anything in this film, Greg Hart's Campaign is well known. He was the favorite candidate going into the election opposite George H.W. Bush, but something happened. It just goes to prove that one thing can bury your entire career. Or should. As we've seen ...

Brutally Honest Reviews | The Possession of Hannah Grace (2018) - "Beautiful Disaster"

December 18, 2018 23:00 - 59 minutes - 54.1 MB

Hey everyone and welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews, only on The Brutally Honest Network. This evening we have a treat. The rare, so bad it's good horror film. This Boston Hospital Morgue set possession thriller tries to make strides with cheap scares, thinly developed characters, poor dialogue and general nonsense. There will always be a novelty for B-Horror movies so while we did enjoy the film for it's unintentional stupidity, we had to be a little Brutally Honest here. Check out...

Brutally Honest Reviews | The Girl... (2018) - "I Just Want To Go To Some Swedish Underground Club"

But wait, there's more. That author didn't write this book o...

December 06, 2018 23:59 - 1 hour - 60.7 MB

Hey everyone and welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews, only on The Brutally Honest Network. We are stoked to bring you our review of Fantastic Beasts 2: The Crimes of Grindelwald today. This was a sequel to what appeared to be a more family friendly and storyline optional entry in the Harry Potter franchise, ripe with your casting scandals, rushed screenwriting and certainly other unsightly things you'll unearth. Filmmaking aside, coming into this film we can understand it's occasional ...

Brutally Honest Reviews | Widows (2018) - "I Think You Just Had A Drunk Theater"

December 04, 2018 23:00 - 1 hour - 61 MB

Hey everybody. Welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews. Some of us have been looking forward to today's movie for months and others had absolutely no idea what it was. Let me tell you, Widows is a very heavily layered film. Director Steve McQueen, whom's other projects include Shame, Hunger & 12 Years A Slave, he is not afraid to push the boundaries of going where other filmmakers shy away from. This being his passion project, why not have a fully loaded cast consisting of Michelle Rodri...

Brutally Honest Reviews | Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) - "We'll Call Him Ramen Noodles"

November 29, 2018 23:00 - 1 hour - 62.7 MB

Welcome back everybody to Brutally Honest Reviews, only on The Brutally Honest Network. Today we are reviewing a film that is turning a lot of heads. A biopic on Queen, or more specifically on the rise and fall of lead singer Freddie Mercury, played expertly by Rami Malek. The film was touching, super accurate in a lot of aspects, but super inaccurate in a lot of more important aspects, depending on who you are. See what we thought about this biopic and if it should be rightfully named a ...

Brutally Honest Reviews | Mid 90's (2018) - "He Touched His Hair!"

November 27, 2018 23:00 - 56 minutes - 51.7 MB

Hey everybody. Welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews. This week we are taking on the Jonah Hill Directed Mid 90's, which was a very interesting film. Shot on film, framed and graded to look period with the 90's. This film definitely had the look. This film is a coming of age drama tackling finding your identity and finding your way. A soundtrack reminiscent of Tony Hawk Pro Skater Soundtracks filled this entertaining story of heart and misadventure. Check out what we thought! Watch ...

Brutally Honest Reviews | Overlord(2018) - "I Speak German, I Took One Semester In College"

November 20, 2018 23:00 - 49 minutes - 45.1 MB

Welcome back to The Brutally Honest Network for another installment of Brutally Honest Reviews. This week we are plumbing the depths of the ocean with our captain Gerard Butler. And we are god damn scared. This film probably didn't need to exist and makes us wonder who asks for movies like this. But anyway, we saw it. Hunter Killer is a glorified submarine war film that plays off the never ending Cold War feeling the U.S. & Russia cannot seem to shake. Common makes an appearance, if you...

Brutally Honest Reviews | First Man(2018) - "Ryan Gosling Is Staring At The Moon Again"

November 13, 2018 23:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MB

Welcome back to The Brutally Honest Network for another installment of Brutally Honest Reviews. This week we are traveling to space to check out First Man, yet another film based loosely on the first moon landing. Ryan Gosling plays the eccentric Neil Armstrong in what is a psychologically jarring and nerve racking drama thriller that doesn't just explore the trials and tribulations of space travel, but also goes into the despair that is long distance relationships with kids involved. Chec...

Welcome back to The Brutally Honest Network for another installment of Brutally Honest Reviews. Today we are tackling what a lot of people probably didn't see because the trailer made it look absolutely bland and cookie cutter Horror. However, what we saw in Hellfest (2018) was actually much more enjoyable than we all anticipated. Dive in as we check out a little modern slasher that works really well because of the fine line it walks between believable and over the top and remember to keep...

October 16, 2018 22:00 - 47 minutes - 43.9 MB

Welcome back to The Brutally Honest Network for another installment of Brutally Honest Reviews. This week we are diving into one of the most anticipated films let alone horror films of 2018.

Brutally Honest Reviews | Venom (2018) - "Boy, Oh Boy, Are People Going To Be Upset"

October 11, 2018 22:00 - 50 minutes - 45.9 MB

Welcome back to The Brutally Honest Network for another installment of Brutally Honest Reviews. A lot of people have been waiting a long time for this film and who could blame us when they released a very vague, but exciting trailer nearly a year ago. Tom Hardy whom has earned his stripes in the acting community and most recently in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Bane in The Dark Night Rises. Starring alongside Michelle Williams & opposite the villain Riz Ahmed, there is certainly acting...

Brutally Honest Reviews | Searching (2018) - "People Are Capable of Bad Stuff"

October 09, 2018 22:00 - 40 minutes - 36.8 MB

Welcome back to The Brutally Honest Network for another installment of Brutally Honest Reviews. Today we are jumping right into Searching with John Cho of White Castle & Star Trek fame. This super aware, modern mash-up drama-thriller is told to us through a variety of prosumer grade cameras on phones, tablets, laptops, surveillance cameras, news broadcasts and more. It's important when stringing together an offbeat production that you are aware of how aware your viewers are. These viewers...

Brutally Honest Reviews | White Boy Rick (2018) - "Want To Take Your Family To Get Custard?"

October 02, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 59.4 MB

Welcome back to The Brutally Honest Network for another installment of Brutally Honest Reviews. Today we are back from a week off to bring you the Action Thriller, White Boy Rick starring Mathew McConaughey, a handful of relative unknowns and a couple familiar faces for some of us. This was a pretty surprisingly well crafted little, based on a true story, crime slow burner more about the sociology of 1980's Detroit than a mindless action film. Check our what we thought and as always keep i...

Brutally Honest Reviews | Alpha (2018) - "A Different Kind of Movie"

September 18, 2018 22:00 - 52 minutes - 48.4 MB

Welcome back to The Brutally Honest Network for another installment of Brutally Honest Reviews. Today we are back to original structure. We are diving into a film that I wish more people saw. Alpha (2018) is about the domestication of the first dog, loosely. And by loosely, well if you went to go see it you know. This film was beautifully shot, is action packed, equally sad and uplifting. Some might even call this a family film. We had mixed reviews here, but in one of our best podcast...

September 11, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 58.4 MB

Welcome back to The Brutally Honest Network for another installment of Brutally Honest Reviews.

Welcome back to The Brutally Honest Network for another installment of Brutally Honest Reviews. This week we immerse ourselves in racist suburban 1970's America where our lead John David Washington is pitted head to head against the KKK as the first African American Police Officer in Colorado Springs.

August 28, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 81.1 MB

Welcome back to The Brutally Honest Network for another installment of Brutally Honest Reviews. This week we take on The Meg (2018) with Jason Statham, Bing Bing Li, Rainn Wilson and many more. This action packed tongue in cheek at times aquatic thriller is equal parts fun and solid filmmaking. All the characters were well developed and for once the very over the top Jason Statham was actually given quite a strong character. There is a lot to love in this film. Click play and check out w...

Hey everyone and welcome back to Brutally Honest Reviews. Only on The Brutally Honest Network. Today we are reviewing a film that adds to the Spy Comedy Thriller sub-genre if you will. We don't really know what to call this aside from being in the same vein as Johnny English & The Pink Panther. The film stars Mila Kunis & Kate McKinnon as a clubbing pair of pedestrian turned spies when some intel turns their world upside down. It's fun-sort of. I guess it depends, we all saw it differen...

Good evening, Brutally Honest Network. Before we resume our three camera podcasts, we have this one review we did for a film that we sincerely hope gets a wider release. And it is Boots Riley's "Sorry To Bother You" (2018). This was truly one weird film with a lot to enjoy. Great comedy, thick with pop culture and sociological commentary and bound to give every type of movie goer something to talk and laugh about. Dive in with us, this is a fun ride.
