    STEEL MAGNOLIAS MOVIE REVIEW – THIS MADE US CRY SO MUCH! - FIRST TIME WATCHING | - DOLLY PARTON

    2026-08-28 | 37 mins.
    SIX SOUTHERN WOMEN. ONE UNBREAKABLE BOND. AND ENOUGH LAUGHTER AND TEARS TO DESTROY US!

    Roxy Striar, Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson watch Steel Magnolias (1989) for the first-time full movie reaction and review, celebrating one of Dolly Parton’s most beloved film roles. Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, and Daryl Hannah lead the iconic Southern ensemble drama about friendship, family, love, and resilience in a small Louisiana community. From Shelby’s wedding preparations and the lively conversations inside Truvy’s beauty salon to Ouiser and Clairee’s hilarious exchanges and Sally Field’s unforgettable graveyard performance, Roxy, Andrew & Tara experience why “laughter through tears” remains the perfect description of Steel Magnolias.

    Steel Magnolias Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:
    / thereelrejects

    Directed by Herbert Ross (Footloose, The Secret of My Success) and adapted by Robert Harling from his acclaimed stage play, Steel Magnolias stars Sally Field as M’Lynn Eatenton (Forrest Gump, Mrs. Doubtfire), Dolly Parton as Truvy Jones (9 to 5, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas), Julia Roberts as Shelby Eatenton Latcherie (Pretty Woman, Erin Brockovich), Shirley MacLaine as Ouiser Boudreaux (Terms of Endearment, The Apartment), Olympia Dukakis as Clairee Belcher (Moonstruck, Look Who’s Talking), and Daryl Hannah as Annelle Dupuy Desoto (Splash, Kill Bill). The cast also features Dylan McDermott as Jackson Latcherie (The Practice, American Horror Story) and Tom Skerritt as Drum Eatenton (Alien, Top Gun).

    Roxy, Andrew & Tara discuss Dolly Parton’s warm and hilarious performance as Truvy, the friendship formed inside the beauty salon, Julia Roberts’ Oscar-nominated portrayal of Shelby, Sally Field’s emotionally devastating performance, Ouiser and Clairee’s scene-stealing friendship, the film’s endlessly quotable dialogue, and its powerful ability to move from comedy to heartbreak in an instant.

    EXTENDED EPISODE: Well, I Watched The Dog Stars So You Don't Have To (Out Of Theater Reaction)

    2026-08-28 | 14 mins.
    The Dog Stars Movie Review. Another miss from Ridley Scott. Experience The Dog Stars in D-BOX at Cinemark here: ⁠https://www.cinemark.com/movies/the-d...⁠ Greg Alba shares his spoiler-free The Dog Stars movie review and out-of-the-theater reaction to Ridley Scott’s new post-apocalyptic survival film! Jacob Elordi stars as Hig, a grieving pilot surviving at an abandoned airport alongside Josh Brolin’s hardened survivalist, Bangley, following a virus that devastated humanity. Greg discusses the film’s slower, more meditative approach, its stacked cast—including Margaret Qualley, Guy Pearce, and Allison Janney—and whether Ridley Scott delivers the intense apocalyptic epic promised by the trailers. Let’s get into Greg’s immediate reaction!

    EXTENDED EPISODE: Making Avengers: Endgame Encore “REQUIRED VIEWING” For Doomsday Is Ridiculous

    2026-08-28 | 47 mins.
    The Russo Brothers have made it clear that in order to understand Avengers: Doomsday, we must watch this re-release Extra 4 Minutes Edition of Avengers: Endgame. Well, we got thoughts on it... despite the fact we're definitely going to the theaters. Also, we talk about Tobey Maguire Spider-Man & Hugh Jackman Wolverine being apart of the opening scene (rumor), Ridley Scott doing his Prometheus / Alien sequel, and acknowledging the passings of Dolly Parton, Peter Cullen, Tim Curry, & Hayden Panettiere
