While recovering from a biceps injury, Bronson Reed introduced fans to his Letterboxd account, a popular platform where users share movie ratings and reviews. This move places Reed in a different spotlight, intertwining his presence in wrestling with an emerging voice in film critique, drawing attention for his unique movie insights.
Recognition as a Key Letterboxd Contributor
In January, Letterboxd acknowledged Reed as a featured member, a status granted through continuous community recommendations and browsing. The platform’s Instagram post spotlighted the wrestler who refers to himself as a “Film Thug” and enjoys a follower base surpassing 6,000 fans.
His profile shows over 3,000 logged movies, including 18 viewed this year. Among his favorites are classics like Jaws, Drive, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and Big Trouble in Little China, illustrating a broad cinematic interest.
Insights on Recent Film Reviews
Reed shared a detailed critique of the 1985 romance thriller Smooth Talk, starring Laura Dern and Treat Williams. He wrote,
“Laura Dern has literally been fantastic in everything I’ve seen her in. That being said, man Treat Williams made me feel so uncomfortable. The tonal shift in the 3rd act is almost like watching 2 separate films,”
assigning the movie three-and-a-half stars.
On the other end of the spectrum, his review of Long Gone Summer, a documentary on the 1998 home run chase between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, was much more straightforward:
“I love this shit. Big jacked dudes hitting homers, bring it back!”
Connecting Fans Through Film and Wrestling
While fans await Bronson Reed’s return to the ring and his signature wrestling move—the Tsunami—they are able to engage with his candid and diverse film commentary. By bridging sports entertainment and cinematic critique, Reed continues to build a unique community on Letterboxd, expanding how wrestling followers relate to him beyond the WWE universe.
