Starring Jonathan Anthony, who achieved small notice with his impressions of Heath Ledger's Joker on YouTube, the show was originally intended to review adventure films, but for "Special" episodes he branches out into different genres. The show has received relatively positive feedback, and only looks to become increasingly popular. Currently in the middle of a big hiatus thanks to Anthony having some shake-ups in his life, but he has promised to return when it is all sorted out.

!!''Minnesota Anthony Reviews'' Contains examples of:
* AccentuateTheNegative: Donny’s specialty.
* ActingForTwo: Minny and Donny are played by the same person.
* BerserkButton: Both Minny and Donny seem to have hair-trigger tempers over the slightest of things, but most notable is when Donny prepares to literally explode at the mere mention of the fridge scene from ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull''.
* BuffySpeak
* CallBack: A moment in the review of ''The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'' where Minny asks Donny if he would have had the filmmakers actually smack the actors around the set instead of using CGI doubles. Donny reacts by thinking about his answer, which references when he did the same thing to a similar question in the ''Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' review.
* TheCameo: God Himself, in the first part of the KOTCS review.
* CausticCritic: Notably averted with Minny, who is insistent on finding the good points in a film to the point of absurdity. Played straight with Donny, though with elements of {{Deconstruction}}.
* CovertPervert: Subverted. Donny is quite clearly a perv, though he seems to not realize half of his comments reveal this.
** Minny also shares Donny's affection for inadvertently lascivious comments
* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon:
--->'''Donny:''' If you don’t let me do that review [''Kingdom of the Crystal Skull''] with you, I’ll see to it you are strangled with your own whip!
* DeadpanSnarker: Donny is quite competent in this department, though Minny gets his moments as well.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: In ''The Mummy Returns'' review:
--->'''Minny:''' The Mummy Returns returns us[…]
* DevelopmentHell: The review of ''The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor''. Word of God said this was due to writer's block, but it finally was released in May 2013.
** To a much greater extent, the entire series has been put on hold for more than a year because Jonathan Anthony has had to focus on personal life matters. But he has dropped occasional hints at a glorious comeback...
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: When Minny accidentally brings up the infamous ‘fridge’ scene from KOTCS.
* DisproportionateRetribution: How does Minny respond to a joke Donny tells about the Holocaust? He punches him in the face. Of course!
** Also occurs when Donny is terrorized by a loan shark for the grand sum of ''10 cents''.
* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Fanboys Have Standards]]: In the ''Mummy Returns'' review, there comes a point where Minny finds himself unable to defend a stupid moment from the film.
* {{Fanboy}}: Minnesota Anthony for the Indiana Jones films and, to a lesser extent, the whole adventure genre.
* GagCensor: When Donny mentions a spoiler, his words are drowned out by a shout of ''SPOOOOOIIIIILLLLLEEEEER!!!''
* TheGimmick: The whole concept of a fan of adventure movies who dresses like Indiana Jones.
* GodwinsLaw: Donny accuses Minny of this in Part 2 of the KOTCS review.
--->'''Minny:''' You compared the film to the Holocaust!
--->''(pause)''
--->'''Donny:''' That’s Godwin’s law right there!
* GoshDangItToHeck: So much so that the ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' review has Donny say: "What a scum''bucket!''"
* HehHehYouSaidX: Donny loves to chuckle whenever Minny accidentally says something that can be taken as dirty.
* HypocriticalHumor: At one point in the ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'' review, Donny starts screaming about how much he hated Willie Scott’s screaming.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Sometimes Minny’s last phrase before the title sequence has these.
* LampshadeHanging: Often, as the fourth wall is constantly broken.
* LargeHam: Donny, when confronted with an aspect of a movie he really hates.
* LimitedWardrobe: When the show began, Donny wore the very same glasses and shirt in every review, which, appropriately, had the phrase, ''Here comes trouble!'' on it. But later on, he switched to a generic green shirt and his glasses were noticeably thicker and more colorful. Minny, likewise, has recently changed his jacket but otherwise has kept the ensemble intact, alternating between jacketed and non-jacketed usually every other episode.
* LongList: See the ArsonMurderAndJaywalking example above.
* MusicalEpisode: Briefly in ''The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'' review, Minny and Donny sing their opinion to a generic tune, as homage to the film's generic songs.
** The climax of the Avatar review has Minny launching into a cover of Katy Perry's 'Firework', supposedly as a pick-up for Donny who feels upset that his negative opinion of Avatar has done nothing to stop it being a smash hit.
* NotSoDifferent: Minny likes to think he’s above Donny, but sometimes mimics his habit of snarking.
* OddCouple: An obsessed adventure movie fan, and a troll.
* OverlyLongGag: Donny sneezing over speakerphone in the ''Mummy Returns'' review.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis:
-->'''Donny (About Willie Scott)''': She’s completely incompetent, she does nothing of real importance, and most of all, she WON’T-STOP-SCREAMING!
* RageBreakingPoint: See BerserkButton.
* RealSongThemeTune: Of course, the Indiana Jones theme for the title sequence.
* RefugeInAudacity: Donny’s sense of humor often comes across as this.
* RunningGag: Minny accidentally saying something that can be interpreted wrongly.
* SarcasmMode
* TheScream: When Minny rewatches the ‘bug scene’ from ''The Mummy.''
* ShoutOut: The opening credits are an almost shot-for-shot replica of Indiana Jones introduction in ''Kingdom of the Crystal Skull''. Also, he punches the screen in a manner quite similar to Jeremy Jahns.
** The outfit is vaguely familiar too...
*** Donny at one point quotes Palpatine from ''Revenge of the Sith'' in the ''Mummy Returns'' review.
* SickAndWrong: Minny is easily disturbed by some of Donny’s more outrageous comments.
* UnexpectedGenreChange: See the MusicalEpisode examples above.
* UnsoundEffect: ''DOUCHEBAG!''
* XMeetsY: Red Letter Media meets Nostalgia Chick.
