Fish Jelly Film Reviews
Two critics, Nick and Joseph, offer spoiler-heavy film reviews from a queer and racially-aware perspective, covering everything from blockbusters to Tubi originals.
This is a spoiler-centric film review show where two professional critics, Nick and Joseph, dissect movies in detail. They cover everything from major blockbusters and festival darlings to obscure streaming originals, with a particular fondness for critiquing low-budget Tubi films. Their discussions are informed by their professional background and a sharp, often sarcastic, queer perspective.
“Unlike many review shows, spoiling the movie is the entire point, allowing for a much deeper plot and thematic analysis. Their specific focus on a "queer and racially aware perspective" and their willingness to review obscure and low-quality films alongside blockbusters sets them apart.”
Who hosts this show
Fish Jelly Film Reviews is hosted by Nicholas Bell and Joseph Robinson, two Los Angeles-based, Tomatometer-approved critics. They provide spoiler-filled reviews of new releases, streaming originals, and classic films, always from a queer and racially aware viewpoint. Their analysis is often humorous and unflinchingly critical, and they started the channel in 2019.
