The true story of John Romulus Brinkley, a small-town Kansas doctor who discovers in 1917 that he can cure impotence by transplanting goat testicles into men. And that’s just the tipping point in this stranger-than-fiction tale. With the balls of a P.T. Barnum, the gonads of goats, and the wishful dreams of flaccid men, Brinkley amassed a fortune, was almost elected Governor of Kansas, invented junk mail and the infomercial, and built the world’s most powerful radio station. By the time all of the twists and turns of Brinkley’s story are revealed, Nuts! certainly earns its title.

Someone should create a fan fiction where John Brinkley and Jordan Belfort fall in love.

Thoroughly enjoyed this film. It showcased a fascinating way of storytelling that made for a captivating perspective of this story that had you caught up in Brinkley's lies yourself.

Super cool style as well, the blend of animation with real footage was super captivating and keeps you hooked into the story.

The clear exaggerations and comedic moments were great as well, making the film feel more narrative that facts based which served to create a more enjoyable viewing experience.
