Cost of entry (for the viewer) and having a production company behind them I suppose. A lot of Youtube is still just people speaking into webcams with cyan and pink cyberpunk lighting. I'd find that hard to compare to even a talk show just based on production value and effort alone. Channels like RLM and Linus Tech Tips blur the line, though, both of them produce videos that wouldn't be out of place on cable television in the slightest.

They genuinely ruined movies and television. Rian Johnson proved that screenwriters take these reviewers words as gospel, and are very conscious of this when producing media. They are too afraid to take risks, in case the likes of Mike and Jay will make fun of them for showing sincerity. Since Redlettermedia became mainstream, we've gotten tame, bland, and soulless movies and tv shows. Because that's what happens when you start to believe RLM's nitpickings and their shallow critiques. You get safe, boring franchises that don't want to be mercilessly mocked like the prequels were by Redlettermedia.
everything mike wished for in star wars franchise came true in sequels. And he even liked that kenobi show. Face it, he killed star wars.
And their hatred for sex is pathetic and should be mocked
If they were scraping youtube for ideas at that stage they deserved to fail. They were mediocre slop that didn't deserve any of the hype in either direction.
>its your fault for listening to me
okay mike. Btw you liked star trek 2009 you homosexual. And indiana jones 5.
Ill tell you a secret. People warch RLM to see dumb movies being called dumb. No one cares about your artsy bullshit and noone wants to see you praise moronic slop like kenobi
>They are too afraid to take risks, in case the likes of Mike and Jay will make fun of them for showing sincerity.
Is this why Joss Whedon dialogue is so present in everything?
I loved them. Love the channel. No one else is making this level of quality content for 46 year old alcoholic, subscription drug abusers, so they have my views.
Me? When I've watched the SpaceCop movie and also learned that Mike is israeli. Suddenly, those sick parts of Plinket reviews started to kick differently. Yet another croocked israelite who can't contain his croockednes and can't create anything good.
Also, the third fat frick is gay?
Mike recently mentioned that he still has cable, i wouldn't be surprised if he only watches streaming at the studio and needs Jay to set it up for him every time.
I never liked them at all, the mr plinkett videos were dumb shallow criticisms that just devolved into complete nitpicking and half in a bag was just two boring homosexuals talking to each other using the most mundane takes and opinions possible
I liked their latest video about Marilyn Manson and Bloodhound Gang because they were some of my favorite bands as a teenager. The game show bit worked well with the topic, it was entertaining and I found myself trying to answer the questions.
They are on a downtrend though. I think part of it is related to the industry offering nothing that makes for a good HitB, capeshit fatigue is very real and it used to be their bread and butter. Another factor is them playing it more safe, which has to do with them getting older but also having to contend with Youtube and culture in general.
They've been doing it for over a decade so it was bound to get old eventually. It's impressive they got as good a run as they did. I'll keep watching it even though it's gone downhill, it's still better than most of the garbage on Youtube.
Americans and their fear of nudity.
I was rewatching the BOTW recently with that Hollywood screenwriter (the bald guy) who was on as a guest. They were all talking about how disgusting and shocking it was that a boob appeared in one of the 80s movies.
The screenwriter literally said
"i am disgusted at any and all depictions of the female form" and jay was nodding.
do you know what the real reason for this is? america is run by a certain people, and these people also produce a vast majority of porn in the world, along with every other media. its difficult for them to look at breasts and not think about Blown Out Gaping Black wiener prostitutes 7 and they get angry at their addiction.
The censorship/inconsistent beeping in their newer videos makes them unwatchable.
It makes no sense, they'll beep out the word "shit" and then in the next sentence they freely say "frick".
It's insane.
I've been rewatching some of their older videos and it's depressing to see the amount of wit, edge and energy Mike had back in the day.
Now he's this fat moronic out of touch liberal boomer. I get that movies have become so shit that there's very little point in stating the obvious, but HitB is the reason why they became so popular in the first place.
Now they're just doing whatever, vids that have little appeal to anyone but themselves. I'm still not sure if that animated thing was a joke or not.
>I'm still not sure if that animated thing was a joke or not.
I know what you mean. It seemed like a piss take of all those sorts of cartoons. But I can't shake off the feeling that they were "ha ha unless..." with it.
>it's depressing to see the amount of wit, edge and energy Mike had back in the day. >Now he's this fat moronic out of touch liberal boomer.
this
At least the BOTW with him are comfy now, he would make things too tense in the early days.
That was the best part of BotW, him bullying and bantsing the others were always the funniest bits. There was a genuine edgy cynicism about him that made him really funny. That was at the core of what made RLM special and what made them stand out, but now it's gone.
Only the videos where they have guests on are fun now, like that bald canadian kid. At least they're not so old and morbidly obese that they're rotting to death right in front of you on screen.
I agree with the energy part, they've used to be a lot more edgy. Now they're just tiptoeing a lot.
I wonder if it's because they've rubbed shoulders with some hollywood celebs and now they feel the need to blend in.
Watching some of the golden era videos it's like, oof, Jack Quaid wouldn't go near it.
I liked the bloodhound gang one. Blood hound gang is underrated everyone should get on youtube and look them up. And it's funny to remember how cringe Manson was.
what movie or tv show is this?
what's the official difference between a youtube show and a streaming show? Netflix is an app and so is YouTube
How hard the media will shill for them
Cost of entry (for the viewer) and having a production company behind them I suppose. A lot of Youtube is still just people speaking into webcams with cyan and pink cyberpunk lighting. I'd find that hard to compare to even a talk show just based on production value and effort alone.

good

what the frick is with this? zoomies need non-creator commentary to relax?
>non-creator commentary
ur frickin pitiful mate.
>i have no argument
ok homosexual
>when I see a youtuber over the age of 25
I like them and I think the hate is just wga strikers whining
Mike literally bought pizzas for the WGA strikers and Rich regularly asks for supporting gibs on his gaming channel.

mike and jay are powerful.
big doesnt mean good or worth reviewing
That's right, Jay.
>those guys on youtube made me make a shitty movie !
moron

>Mike and Jay will make fun of them for showing sincerity
Didn't happen with Gunn.
jay gives him a pass because he made a movie with elliot page where (s)he rapes a man.
he loves that kind of movies.
They're always pro-experimentation tho
>They are too afraid to take risks, in case the likes of Mike and Jay will make fun of them for showing sincerity.
Is this why Joss Whedon dialogue is so present in everything?
I've always disliked Jay.
I still like Mike
I don't hate them- I nothing them.
Have they responded to the allegations yet?
>makes a dozen videos critiquing the prequels
>2 decades later, they're celebrated as creative and films
Has anything else aged worse?
Plinkett's silence is deafening
I loved them. Love the channel. No one else is making this level of quality content for 46 year old alcoholic, subscription drug abusers, so they have my views.
They're my friends.
Their refusal to review The Batman (2022) was the beginning of their downfall.
I am a little butthurt they refuse to talk about. Paul dano is kino always.
>Paul dano is kino always.
Worst performance of his career
RLM haven’t been good since Covid.
Me? When I've watched the SpaceCop movie and also learned that Mike is israeli. Suddenly, those sick parts of Plinket reviews started to kick differently. Yet another croocked israelite who can't contain his croockednes and can't create anything good.
Also, the third fat frick is gay?
Is Jay more based than Mike? Does Mike evne know how to use Plex?
Mike recently mentioned that he still has cable, i wouldn't be surprised if he only watches streaming at the studio and needs Jay to set it up for him every time.
Are you STIILL mad that the prequels sucked dick? Move on homosexual.
I never liked them at all, the mr plinkett videos were dumb shallow criticisms that just devolved into complete nitpicking and half in a bag was just two boring homosexuals talking to each other using the most mundane takes and opinions possible
Ok homosexual
They're skipping way too many big movies and watching garbage no one gives a frick about.
They will be reviewing only movies directed by black LGBTQ creators to right the decades of white supremacy and black and LGBTQ erasure in cinema.
they have sucked so bad this year, almost considering lowering my patreon pledge from 75 to just 50 dollars monthly to give them wake up call.
Wow, you really (almost) showed them!
I liked their latest video about Marilyn Manson and Bloodhound Gang because they were some of my favorite bands as a teenager. The game show bit worked well with the topic, it was entertaining and I found myself trying to answer the questions.

The screenwriter literally said

And people get pissy when everyone says jay is a closet gay.
do you know what the real reason for this is? america is run by a certain people, and these people also produce a vast majority of porn in the world, along with every other media. its difficult for them to look at breasts and not think about Blown Out Gaping Black wiener prostitutes 7 and they get angry at their addiction.

Jay shouldn't cut his hair. I'm glad he's finally embracing it
Still love em.
The initial doubt comes on slowly. But the hate comes on very quickly.
They haven't changed. It that a large portion of their audience became obsessed with culture war homosexualry.
Most of you haven't seen 10% of what they've reviewed. You probably just wait for their latest disney review
I liked the bloodhound gang one. Blood hound gang is underrated everyone should get on youtube and look them up. And it's funny to remember how cringe Manson was.
Time to join the winning team, Cinemaphile
what was with jay just uploading a video of his cat?
