Our Austin, TX team of critics and close friends go see theatrical release early screenings in person and then gather together, often with the assistance of a bit of whiskey, to record podcast reviews. If you’re looking for a dead-serious scholarly treatise on new films, this is not what you want. If you want some seriously funny folks with an extensive knowledge of the medium giving you the low-down, Highly Suspect Reviews is your one-stop shop for movie reviews.
