It was a bizarre moment when I discovered prerec and found that the dynamic was completely inverted. Rich came across as an arrogant uninformed shithead and Jack was the knowledgable voice of reason.
the fricking beginning with the cavenan stuff, why did they feel the need to create a cinematic universe full of scummy people with knives and crossbows and fricking swords who will stab you
That's way more of a gen z problem. What was wrong with gen x is that they were extremely apathetic and didn't care how stupid they were, practically championing the race to ignorance that still goes on in America to this day. They wouldn't be the type to present charts and graphs.
re:view is bad. They have no idea how to give any context to the movie whatsoever. No plot synopsis, no chronological discussion, no description of the characters or their motivations. It's just a scattergun conversation where Jay or beardfat or whomever just randomly mention moments they liked from the movie, and it lasts for an hour
please be baiting
you can't seriously be saying it's bad because they don't spoonfeed your secondary ass a plot synopsis? god forbid they assume you've actually watched the movie they're talking about
please be baiting
you can't seriously be saying it's bad because they don't spoonfeed your secondary ass a plot synopsis? god forbid they assume you've actually watched the movie they're talking about
That's moronic
Listen to "Captive Audience" if you want to hear people revisiting old movies in an actually competent way
Yeah it's shit. It's just a plot recap by over-excited fans.
The title "re:view" is obviously on purpose too. It's not a review, where people critique and offer insight. It's a re-view, where nerds re-view (or rewatch) their fave crap from their childhoods.
For all their shitting on nerds and podcast culture (see: the nerd crew for example) they still act like every other nerd pop culture podcast/channel on the planet. Bunch of fricking hypocrites.
Think of it like a bonus feature that would come with a DVD for that movie. You wouldn't want all the interview/discussion bonus features on your DVD to have to recap the whole fricking movie, presumably those who click on it will have seen the movie and want a novel perspective the whole time. Sure, it's a narrower audience, but it also encourages people to seek out and watch kino.
>"We like that thing that you like too!"
They pump that shit out whenever they let their mask of disdain for their paypigs slip too much in their more regular content.
this. I realize its true that the only people who become movie reviewers are people with zero talent, but to see it on display just makes me lose all respect for them
their skits they used to do were just so fricking bad
The thing that always bugged me was that they correctly pointed out how self-aware so-bad-it's-good movies can never work. They cited Wiseau's dumb followup to the room. So, then what is space cop if not a knowingly, wink wink nudge nudge in the same vein they literally skewer?
It's because they aren't good enough to make a decent film on its merits nor are they as unaware/eccentric as the greats who make proper cult classics. They fall into the middle ground of mediocrity and hide it with a veneer of ironic detachment.
Space Cop only works as a fake trailer, God knows why they wanted to make a movie out of it. The main protagonist is at best a side character in a better movie, and Rich Evans might be the worst actor under the sun.
The making of this movie and the luke-warm feedback they received destroyed something in them, especially Mike. Aside from some Star Trek themed episodes, his heart isn't in it anymore. He's now merely a bloated corpse Jay and Rich interact with to keep up the facade until the patreon cucks take notice and end this charade once and for all.
I think I've stopped enjoying their content, lads...
took you guys long enough.
the canadians where alright, but then the Hollywood trash arrived and reaped their souls.
They sucked the life out of THEM !!! all so they can have a little of the glamour, not being internet trash, noooo they want to be admired. they need to feed of of their Audiance. BUHAHAHA
For a time I really liked rlm, shitting on hollywood trash and I bought their schtick. Then came culkin and their normie pay piggys. thats when they stopped being mean to hollywood and thats when I dropped out. I later read here they where hanging with roiland. culkin was a big red flag but the burp and morty crew is deep hollywood creep and I bet they either got something on them or they flat out bout them, telling them to lay low and just cruse on the grift. letting them rot in Milwaukee *shrugs* with the occasional crumb for fame tweet with a has been hollyweirdo. goes to show that city really sucks everyone dry and starving for attention. also checked very nice numbers
Your observations are right but your conclusions are moronic schizo babble. They simply don’t want to lose their Hollyisraelite contacts by shitting on their movies or their friends’ movies. They want a deal on the cartoon they’ve been trying to make for years, which won’t ever happen anyway because it’s just really bad.
Considering how every time some celebrity shows up on their show something terrible happens to them soon after I'd want nothing to do with them if I was in the entertainment industry.
They’ve talked for years about how they hated going to the theatre. Once Covid hit and movies started to instantly come to streaming they stopped going to the theatre and haven’t gone back since.
i enjoy the re:views occasionally but only when its the right combination and a good movie
other than that i haven't really enjoyed hitb or botw in years
HitB sucks now because they're too scared to shit on mainstream movies.
BotW sucks now because the episodes are way too long and they've disappeared up their own asses (mostly Mike) constantly talking about how they would fix these movies instead of just making fun of them like they used to.
>BotW sucks now because the episodes are way too long
Agreed. When they first got longer I thought it was a treat, but now I think it's just the laziness of not wanting to refine the edit into a tight cut.
It was a treat when they were younger, still had creative energy, had a girl or two around, they enjoyed it more, and they got more drunk.
Now it's more of a chore, they've seen everything, they're old and it seems their heart isn't in it, and even after all these years most of them don't know how to yes and
I randomly watched a Half in the Bag review, I forget what movie, and there was like 20 minutes of unfunny skits before they got to the actual review. Haven't watched anything from them since. They've turned into the Nostalgia Critic.
This. I gave up on their channel when they softballed Kenobi, when that was easily the worst thing to come out of the franchise since Rise of Skywalker, arguably even worse, and somehow made the prequels even worse by association. Their obsession with Star Trek is actually starting to piss me off a little bit too. They used to keep their autism in check at least a little bit with that shit.
it's funny how often jay will give his opinion, then mike will give one that's the opposite or different, and then jay will pretend he agrees with that opinion instead
I drifted away from the channel between this and Jay complaining about Adam Sandler movies being too mean-spirited. I don't even like Sandler but that's the dumbest reason not to like his crap
Not to mention they are even more mean spirited, making a living out of making fun of the freaks and morons from BotW. Hearing as Jay’s weaselly laughter as he laughs at Mike’s lampooning of the elderly, morons, or religious people is peak hypocrisy and makes me sick.
Because Mike Stoklasa doesn’t want to admit that TFA was bad and he was wrong. He still has never admitted TFA was bad to this day. Both Rich and Jay have criticized it. But Mike usually tiptoes around the subject. But he knows deep down the movie is bad. So Mike took out his aggression on Rogue One and tried to make it his next Prequel review because he felt bad being fooled by TFA’s member berries and wanted his critic cred back.
Dont worry, you'll keep watching everything they do, the second its available. You will stop everything you are doing in your life to watch it and then rush here to tell us what you dont like about it.
Another RLM victim and i have nothing but pity for you.
never watched a single episode of whatever it is
don't know the people's names, though I do remember seeing a lot of reaction images with them all the time
QRD on these men?
maybe impossible
milwaukee nerds with cringe humour you'd be embarrassed to show your gf - but oddly likeable
watch a random episode of "Best of the Worst" - something between episodes 15-30
>I think I've stopped enjoying their content, lads...
Really? I haven't watched them in years. Let me go watch a few episodes to see...oh, I see what you did there, you sneaky guy!
I don't get that cartoon. Do they really think they're so good at improv that their unscripted bullshit is worth animating? They're not OneyPlays or some shit
Him being the "witty one" got to his head and around 5 years ago he started letting that give himself carte blanche to ramble about inane shit while others sort of awkwardly played along.
Been watching RLM since like 2011 and there are dozens and dozens of all time great videos they've put out since then for me to watch and rewatch, hundreds of hours of content I enjoy. Any more from now is just bonus.
They're still great. Prequelgays just like to b***h about RLM on the daily because they're still butthurt about the plinkett reviews pointing out how shitty the prequels are.
the rlm lore is what keeps me attached >jessi embezzling patreon money to buy shiny rocks >rich evans and his wife trying to push pyramid schemes through to the supporters >mikes embarrassingly depressing alcoholism and how he does it as he has an image to maintain as the town drunk >jay is actually straight and has it notarized
I just want half in the bag, I don't want to see them talk about movies they saw in the 90s, I don't want to listen to annoying loud as frick laughter of Rich Evans on best of the worst. My dream would be them monitoring torrent sites and discussing movies that just came out
they are contrarian pseudo intellectual redditor homosexuals with a good sense of humor but the other aspects of their lifestyles has been slowly creeping in over the years.
Ah, I still love these guys. Sometimes Beardfat drops the perfect little call back and it puts the slightest smile on Mike's face. When Jack and Tim whip their dicks out and battle for best bald...Rich and Jay have no chemistry and I bet they fight all the time over patreon money offscreen. Jay prolly resents the fact that Rich turns on a band saw once every three months while the Bauman slaves over perfecting the edits on half the content they produce and Evans still gets a credit every single HITB. I learned about them on /tv and I'm glad I did. RLM for life. I do miss the skits and girls though.
Wrong
I just plain hate this frick
I only watch the episodes that have this guy.
It was a bizarre moment when I discovered prerec and found that the dynamic was completely inverted. Rich came across as an arrogant uninformed shithead and Jack was the knowledgable voice of reason.
I get the feeling like Rich thinks that he’s way more intelligent than he actually is, and the whole contrarian schtick is a part of that.
115 IQ behavior, or just midwest lowered standards leading to underachieving. Yet he has achieved immortality on the Ellen show. God bless Rich Evans.
Make sure you actually watch picrel, it's as great as they say it is.
the fricking beginning with the cavenan stuff, why did they feel the need to create a cinematic universe full of scummy people with knives and crossbows and fricking swords who will stab you
Sounds like I should stab you for your mammoth meat with my edged weapon.
>whips out the coca cola hat with razor blades and cuts your head
>cheek gets impaled by gas cap knife
We're almost communicating here.
The veteran, his commemorative knife unscratched.
officer, when the meat cleaver fell
bauman as the dick stabbed, his eyes astray
Jimmy, his eyes tweaked, his wallet empty.
You just described a Gen-X'er
That's way more of a gen z problem. What was wrong with gen x is that they were extremely apathetic and didn't care how stupid they were, practically championing the race to ignorance that still goes on in America to this day. They wouldn't be the type to present charts and graphs.
Shit, yeah. Rich definitely came across as oddly arrogant when they were streaming.
Yeah he's the token irritating SJW/Balding Game Journalist archetype that every podcast/youtube channel has to have for some fricking annoying reason.
Tim is up there with the best.
I watch re:view that's it
re:view is bad. They have no idea how to give any context to the movie whatsoever. No plot synopsis, no chronological discussion, no description of the characters or their motivations. It's just a scattergun conversation where Jay or beardfat or whomever just randomly mention moments they liked from the movie, and it lasts for an hour

you can't seriously be saying it's bad because they don't spoonfeed your secondary ass a plot synopsis? god forbid they assume you've actually watched the movie they're talking about
that's the point anon
read the wiki if you want plot synopsis

BotW was my favorite series of theirs; now I can't stand it.
Just now?
why do they act like they're serious filmmakers when they made space cop lol
this. I realize its true that the only people who become movie reviewers are people with zero talent, but to see it on display just makes me lose all respect for them

just happened to me too, why is this?
took you guys long enough.

yeah they're chill af
jack and that bearded homosexual are cancer
For a time I really liked rlm, shitting on hollywood trash and I bought their schtick. Then came culkin and their normie pay piggys. thats when they stopped being mean to hollywood and thats when I dropped out. I later read here they where hanging with roiland. culkin was a big red flag but the burp and morty crew is deep hollywood creep and I bet they either got something on them or they flat out bout them, telling them to lay low and just cruse on the grift. letting them rot in Milwaukee *shrugs* with the occasional crumb for fame tweet with a has been hollyweirdo. goes to show that city really sucks everyone dry and starving for attention. also checked very nice numbers

They want a deal on the cartoon they’ve been trying to make for years, which won’t ever happen anyway because it’s just really bad.
D-Did they get Stuckmanized? (compromised by the false Hollywood dream?)
its literally because they no longer review new movies and dont book end reviews with stupid, creative anticomedy sketches anymore.
They just talk about old b movie kitsch crap nobody outside of people born between 1968-1988 give a shit about.
>its literally because they no longer review new movies
What is the non meme reason why they stopped?
They don't want to lose whatever tenuous connections they have to the entertainment industry.
Considering how every time some celebrity shows up on their show something terrible happens to them soon after I'd want nothing to do with them if I was in the entertainment industry.
It got them to stop shitting on their movies though.
They’ve talked for years about how they hated going to the theatre. Once Covid hit and movies started to instantly come to streaming they stopped going to the theatre and haven’t gone back since.
i enjoy the re:views occasionally but only when its the right combination and a good movie

not a problem, their best days are still ahead of them.
It was wild to watch just how much more effortless charisma Mack had compared to these fricking nerds.
Yeah, their heydays are gone. I still watch their stuff, but it's gone downhill. Oh well, everything has an expiration date.
Well, since I immediately stopped enjoying your thread because you didn't tell your literal-who's to buy an ad so you can shill them, anon.
I randomly watched a Half in the Bag review, I forget what movie, and there was like 20 minutes of unfunny skits before they got to the actual review. Haven't watched anything from them since. They've turned into the Nostalgia Critic.
Why did Mike say he loved TFA but then shit on rogue one so hard? They're both shit
Ironically his SW takes are the worst part of the channel despite being why they got famous.
This. I gave up on their channel when they softballed Kenobi, when that was easily the worst thing to come out of the franchise since Rise of Skywalker, arguably even worse, and somehow made the prequels even worse by association. Their obsession with Star Trek is actually starting to piss me off a little bit too. They used to keep their autism in check at least a little bit with that shit.
Disney sent a cheque
His excuse was that he was on vicoden so I guess he must have sobered up for rogue juan
Mike is more kind than Jay to mainstream movies. What Jay likes in mainstream movies is creepy, weird stuff. Jay caves to Mikes opinion a lot though.
mike admits he loves schlop
with that acknowledged you just take his opinion with it in mind
it's funny how often jay will give his opinion, then mike will give one that's the opposite or different, and then jay will pretend he agrees with that opinion instead
I drifted away from the channel between this and Jay complaining about Adam Sandler movies being too mean-spirited. I don't even like Sandler but that's the dumbest reason not to like his crap
And yet they love anti-Christian zogslop.
Not to mention they are even more mean spirited, making a living out of making fun of the freaks and morons from BotW. Hearing as Jay’s weaselly laughter as he laughs at Mike’s lampooning of the elderly, morons, or religious people is peak hypocrisy and makes me sick.

Really? I haven't watched them in years. Let me go watch a few episodes to see...oh, I see what you did there, you sneaky guy!
Caught this the other day, felt like watching candid footage of Rich Evans getting down at home with his lady.
is that mark porch?
Mike has become the worst. Every review is him talking about his fanfic and how he would direct a movie for an hour.
Even Jack is better than him.
and the bits are never funny
the bits were never funny
i disagree
He’s artificially producing content for his shitty cartoon.
I don't get that cartoon. Do they really think they're so good at improv that their unscripted bullshit is worth animating? They're not OneyPlays or some shit
Him being the "witty one" got to his head and around 5 years ago he started letting that give himself carte blanche to ramble about inane shit while others sort of awkwardly played along.
based.
Oh no, Jay is doing that MAGAtard hand gesture.
Based Redlettermedia STILL making the autistic incels of Cinemaphile seethe.
Also, that's me on the right
works on my machine
Been watching RLM since like 2011 and there are dozens and dozens of all time great videos they've put out since then for me to watch and rewatch, hundreds of hours of content I enjoy. Any more from now is just bonus.
They're still great. Prequelgays just like to b***h about RLM on the daily because they're still butthurt about the plinkett reviews pointing out how shitty the prequels are.
Was it all their crimes that finally did you in?
the rlm lore is what keeps me attached

>rich evans and his wife trying to push pyramid schemes through to the supporters
>mikes embarrassingly depressing alcoholism and how he does it as he has an image to maintain as the town drunk
>jay is actually straight and has it notarized
If RLM is dead, is there anyone else to take up the mantle?
I just want half in the bag, I don't want to see them talk about movies they saw in the 90s, I don't want to listen to annoying loud as frick laughter of Rich Evans on best of the worst. My dream would be them monitoring torrent sites and discussing movies that just came out
They’ve stopped reviewing Marvel.
and that's a good thing.
now if we can just get them to give up their weird hateboner for animation
I’m so sick of Jay’s voice, every time I hear it I wanna shove nails into my ear drums
RLM content gets better over time, BETTER!!!!
frick off shill
I never watched a one single video of these fricks. Whats the appeal?
>celebs
Yawn
>caring about celebs
Yawn x2
they are contrarian pseudo intellectual redditor homosexuals with a good sense of humor but the other aspects of their lifestyles has been slowly creeping in over the years.
