3/5

Those that understand its references and classic temperament should be rightfully tickled by the intended nonsense and cinema love that Busch and co. have so affectionately adhered to.

The Sixth Reel is a loving ode to old movies, their material remains, the necessity of their preservation. It’s also a gentle rhapsody about growing older and facing the final act of one’s life.

The Sixth Reel doesn't come close to being cult classic material, but it's harmless and mildly engaging.

What ensues is madcap madness and mayhem. Busch and his co-conspirator, Carl Andress, have assembled a marvelous supporting cast that includes a scene-stealing Julie Halston, Tim Daly, and Margaret Cho. Lovers of old movies will kvell.

Busch, a well-known drag performer, has a sharp feel for the ridiculous and a well-practiced talent for embodying the essence of classic movie divas.
