Where did everything go so wrong for them? They used to control the cultural narrative.
Did they tho
>>220088656Their audience grew up (mentally). The ones still ballwashing for them are still struggling with that.
>>220088656Small creators aren't allowed to control anything. We're moving into corporate feudalism. We're all going to suffer unimaginable cruelties.
self-censorship in the name of profit. i don't mean 'YouTube's recent changes', i mean 10+ years ago. their Blip videos were the 30+ minute ones with rape jokes (honestly, a bit juvenile, it was /b/tard shit). the YouTube versions were always the censored ones.but Blip gave them money, now they run ads, now they sell merch, now they sell commentary tracks, now they have a Patreon. if you're under the age of like 30, then i suggest you stop reading right now before i carefully explain how much of a fucking idiot you are. so much as having a PayPal 'Donate' button on your website used to be considered weirdly begging. the feeling was: imagine asking FOR MONEY for internet posts. as if it's a job, your income.these guys have 3+ DIFFERENT forms of income from you idiots, and they're laughing all the way to the bank.
>>220088948>these guys have 3+ DIFFERENT forms of income from you idiots, and they're laughing all the way to the bank.Patreon, Youtube, and ?
>>220088656take your meds
>>220088656people saw what happened when Mikes preferences and recommendations met the road in actual realized movies (star wars sequels)
>>220088948lol 3 sources of a dozen $2 cheques doesn't start to cover warehouse rental in metro milwaukee
>>220089842Surprised nobody has found their secret studio yet.
>>220089819I don’t recall Mike saying “make a trilogy with no plan, and just wing it on the fly as you go along”.He also said that JJ Abrams should direct, not write.
>>220088948Boy, they sure dropped the serial killer/cat fucker/jerking off while watching Olsen twin videos angle real quick.
>>220089842Just their patreon is $55k a month, last I checked.
>>220088656For me, it was turning BotW essentially into the Muppet Show with the revolving door of c-list “celebrity” guests, softballing Star Wars garbage like Kenobi, and gradually just turning it into a Star Trek channel.For me, it ended with the video where they shredded all the Nukie tapes that they had been sent over the years.
>They used to control the cultural narrative.They did not. This is insane overestimation of their influence and popularity, which is usually something done by histrionic Prequelfags who want to blame these guys for the entirety of the public rejection of the Prequel movies.
>>220090077...so where's the profit? do you know how many lights you need for a space as large as that warehouse? the bills will eat half of that stream. the overnight security guard the rest
>>220090146>How can we make a raw revenue of 660k a year (+ all their extra bullshit) work?I don't know, hire an accountant, Jay.
>>220090086It makes sense they transition into a Gen X nostalgia channel. They’re too old and fat to appeal to zoomers. And their Star Trek discussions are well-informed and cheap to make. Star Trek itself tried to appeal to Gen Z and it was a massive failure.
>>220089429Bandcamp.Fourthwall (Red Letter Media Merch).i think we're at the point where young adults have grown up with this as normal. Fourthwall i understand a bit, it's like the CafePress of the 2020s, you're getting a T-shirt or a cup. you're buying an actual item.remember when EBaum's sold ads while hosting other people's content without credit?remember when Tim Buckley had a premium service for some of his comics?remember Something Awful?shit that used to seem absurd and crazy is just normal now. i have made art that took a lot of effort and i then posted it online for the exposure. not 'FoR eXpOsUrE', for exposure. in fact i have actively PAID FOR WEB HOSTING to HOST THINGS ON THE WEB.i am genuinely angry about the way the internet has gone. if we're playing by 'it's a real job' rules, then RedLetterMedia are taking other people's content without paying them, asking permission, or even giving them credit, and making a profit from it. that's like making a Sonic sprite comic and selling it because you did the dialogue.
>>220088656>They used to control the cultural narrative.
You can tell their actual interest in film has fallen off. The passion very obviously isn't there any more. When was the last time they even reviewed a major release? Superman 9 months ago? Like I get this year has hardly been stellar for releases but seriously no Hail Mary? No Scream 7? Nothing about either 28 Years Later film? The new Avatar? All had plenty of material to rip into (for good or bad) but it's like they're not even interested.Add to that BOTW becoming a revolving door of the same unfunny nepobaby guests blatantly on the circuit shilling their latest project and it's like: what am I even watching for any more? If you're not into Star Trek then the justification for tuning in is becoming increasingly slim.I don't necessarily blame them I have seen the same thing with my mid-30s friends, particularly since COVID. All of us used to be big film/TV buffs but I've seen the majority of them retreat into the comfort food of rewatching old movies or TV rather than engaging with new material.
They never did.They are just YouTubers. They have no real power.
>Jay under FBI investigation >Jack spotted living on skid row>Rich Evens receiving the diagnosis The real question is how much longer can Mike pretend everything is normal as his empire collapses around him
I'm disappointed that they ever let it get this far.
>>220092223Thankfully for me I am a big Star Trek fan.
>>220092964It's so sad that Beardfat was an informant all along.
>>220088656Nothing really changed for them. Is that what you've been trying to do all these years?Why are you such a failure at everything?
>>220090106Prequeltards are all about changing the public consensus and reevaluating this and that and trying to control the narrative over those pieces of shit.The problem being, their arguments in favor are superficial at best, if arguments at all. You really can't do damage control when your argument is "I saw them when I was 8" or "I am from Bengaluru, sar."
>>220091403I guess they must be selling shit over there.
>>220092964Jack's life somehow fell apart AFTER he got sober. How does that happen?
>>220094631No way to let off stress. I need to drink alcohol at least 3 times a week. Not a ton just 2 or 3 king-size cans from the circle k down the street. If I don't I get so stressed out I start to lose my mind holding in all the resentment I carry in my life.
>>220094687Couch-to-5K did the same thing for me, with the added bonus of not costing me a cent, and not turning me into a skinnyfat estro-boy.
>>220094739When I was younger I worked out all the time; joints are too old now.
>>220092964>>220094063Is this shitposting or is this real? I always got bad vibes from Beardfat like he was a pedo.
>>220092223I think that I would actually be more inclined to watch again if they would just cut the bullshit, and become a channel about ghost hunting and restoring old film/TV props.
>>220092223Their interest in reviewing new movies has fallen off for sure, but its mainly because theres so few good movies anymore. But best of the worst is still their strong suit so I dont care if they talk about some shitty current movie I'll never see
>>220090242I’m a xennial who is directly in their target demo, but couldn’t give two shits about Star Trek, so I frankly just find the shift to all the Star Trek talk self-indulgent and annoying after they had a set format for years.I guess I get it at the end of the day though. They got their bag, they got burned out, so now they’re just doing whatever interests them, and that’s fine. I got a colossal amount of entertainment out of them during the peak.
>>220090242>their Star Trek discussions are well-informed and cheap to make>>220094895>I frankly just find the shift to all the Star Trek talk self-indulgent and annoying after they had a set format for years.you can argue they STARTED with Star Trek so it's just a return to form.but i remember when /tv/ praised these guys because they were 'real' filmmakers who knew how to light a set. i do appreciate effort even if it's not to my taste, like they built a fake sitcom set instead of just talking to a webcam (Captain Disillusion will always be the gold standard for me here).however, they've become everything they complained about. 'it's funny because it's bad', 'WE'RE not just filming in front of a curtain', etc. etc. i watched some zoomer Pokémon speedrun videos the other idea and credit where credit is due: young adults know how to edit videos. properly keying stuff out, using the right fonts, creating custom animations (in among all the memes and overused catchphrases).Mike has complained the Plinkett reviews are hard to make because of YouTube's copyright system. maybe if you flash a still image on the screen or use some music, it could be original content rather than something you 'found online'? just a thought, Mike!
>>220094796Making up details about them is a meme.
>>220094796I also hate Beardfat. He comes off as a performative "nice guy".
>>220092223I stopped watching Half in the Bag years ago because I wrote off everything Hollywood would ever make again and it's not interesting to watch people talk about a movie I haven't seen and have no intention of seeing. So I can't blame them for not having a lot of new ones.
>>220088656They may have done 15 years ago when Mike made one video that got famous. But they make all their fame and best videos from laughing at shitty movies now. Nobody wants anything else from them except that.The best thing they have ever done is introduce several generations into shitty cinema from the DVD/VHS and Betamax eras.
>>220095678i'm sure he supports feminism and his ex-girlfriends only have positive things to say about his behavior towards them :-)
>>220095678do you mean wizard? hes always been the shitiest regular member of redlettermedia. and max landis is the most annoying person to ever be in any of their stuff
>>220095855nahthey got too clean and polished. simple as. polish the turd, its not a diamondold rlm was funny because it felt like you found a tape behind a bowling alley and three divorced ghouls were inside it calling george lucas retarded. the appeal is that feels lik u and ur dumbass friends could do it, so relatable for losersnow it’s just mike doing star trek elder self abuse, jay has a beard, and rich making the noise while 9,000 thirty-eight year olds clap like seals because its the meme WOOOOAAAAHHH DICK THE BIRPDAY BOPY. fucking MORONS its just pre slop slopbuh buh they introduced people to shitty cinemayeah, and then every bugman with a criterion closet decided “watching garbage” was a personality. good job. you made film twitter for dudes who own 4 copies of robot jox and think baby yoda isnt entertainment like jizz music added scene is not the same fag crap from the mind of the man who said the fuzzy bears were the viet cong>buh buh buh but the warehouse costs moneyso does insulin, what’s your point.>>220092223they didn’t fall off because they never were waht your gay parasocial autistic attachment told u they were. they fell off because the bit was never a bit. theyre just some guys. get a grip u elitist newfags
>>220088830there's still hope for future Shane Tamuras though
>>220096244Expecting film reviewers to *checks notes* review films is apparently too much to ask these days.
>>220096300yeah you stupid faggot. YEAH its a goddamn COMEDY SHOW you autistic LOSER its not on cinema at the cinema... what you wanted inside the actors studio? go watch a program for real adults not millennial and gen x cringe comfort watch RLM look at me melt these star wars toys whizzz peee we have the basket from basket case we put gizmo in the basket after restoring him and heres the stupid pottery picard broke in that one movie REMEMBER THE NOISE WHAT ARE NEXT we ARE ADULTS kys
>>220096431Is there a reason you type like a retarded twelve year old on speed?
>>220090022>unironically posting thiswew lad
Found it incredibly cringe with them bringing on that nepo-baby Quaid on. Seems like a nice enough dude but does come across as someone trying to fit in (which he doesn't)I'm now only every interested in their half in the bag vids and their mid/end of year film reccs. Personally, Jay moreso than Mike has better taste when it comes to films but what they generally recc are good though.
>>220096480it works to derail your faggot narrating of your aparsitc attachment to the fat movie men doesnt it? so ill keep doing that, nostalgia baby. if thats the best you can do i smoke crack every single day because im a slave morality internet pedophile english language nazi fancy pants. oh im college educated but i still watch cartoons for children. lmfao
>>220096244>this spacingIt is beyond egregious. Otherwise, people liked it because it was "nostalgia" for the late 80s/early 90s VHS rental days where you would often rent a handful of 50cent or dollar rentals for a weekend out of the cheap section. All the shit they watched was basically out of that section. 40-something millennials and 50-something Xers loved that shit because it was a callback to their childhoods. That demographic is what drove the youtube boom. That demographic becoming jaded (Xers) or poverty-stricken (millennials) is what caused the bubble to pop.That's all there really is to it. They still get views, it's just the views they get don't spend money and thus their ad revenue is way down. It's not more complicated than that. You're missing the forest for the trees and trying to instigate some culture war bullshit.
>>220090242I've never heard of this channel outside 9f scrolling by the catalog here but I'm down for quality trek talk. What are their thoughts on nu trek (post jj trilogy)?
The only good one is Tim. The rest are fucking cringe.
>>220096126Yeah. I won't call him wizard on principle.
>>220088948>their Blip videos were the 30+ minute ones with rape jokes>the YouTube versions were always the censored ones.This is objectively wrong though. The youtube videos are the exact same ones that were on Blip.
>>220088948>but Blip gave them money, now they run adsThat's not how any of this works, retard. Blip didn't "give" them money. They made money from ads, just like they do on youtube.
>>220096244I've never been under the illusion that they're my friends. I know they play characters because I used to do the exact same thing on youtube. After a few years of hovering around 1400 subscribers I quit because it was taking to much work for something I was failing to monetize.
>>220088656>They used to control the cultural narrative.Prequelfags are delusional.
>>220096654At first they discussed star trek picard and hated it. Then they stopped giving nutrek any attention.
>>220096522In the Good, the Bad and the Ugly review episode Jay claimed he hadn't seen any Sergio Leone movies, which imo crazy statement from alleged cinemaphile. What the fuck are the goobers even watching?
>>220097812If you listen carefully theres tons of famous movies Jay hasnt seen. Really, outside of his horror/B-movie wheelhouse Jay doesn't know that much about film
>>220088656they rarely talk about new and popular movies anymore. they used to do every big tentpole release on HITB, but now they do what they are interested in at the time.
>>220094796It's real.Jessie's remains were found at the bottom of a lake in Canada last week
>>220096244>pathetic 38 year oldssir i will have you know that i am 42 thank you very much
I never liked BOTW so my interest was held up by half in the bag, their catch ups, and fuck you january style content Maybe a couple of re-views were worth watching in guess But yeah, the writing was on the wall when they stopped reviewing big releases that weren't Marvel DC or Disney
>nitpicking >rape jokes edgy doug walker tier shit, who ever watched this?
why does everyone in this thread not like or care about best of the worst? usually its half in the bag nobody likes
>>220098065Because BOTW is still their 'new' show in my mind, even though it's been a thing for like 13 years? Started watching for HITB and Plinkett, and BOTW doesn't appeal to me as much even though I still don't mind it.RE:View is their best work these days desu
>>220098041It was the tenties, we didn't have anything else.
Do you like the Wizard's band?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16tjK4Agkrk
>>220088656Everytime I see an exaggerated facial expression click bait thumbnail my brain convulses.
>>220098829I cant even remember the last good half in the bag episode. The fanatic maybe? and that was like 6 or 7 years ago. meanwhile theres great best of the worsts every year
>>220098065I used to but it just doesn't seem that funny anymore, I don't know if they changed or I did.
>>220098065I recently watched 90% of BotW and there are definitely peaks ans valleys in their quality. It still my favorite format specifically bad movie scavenger hunt.
New guests are fucking shit. Also they betrayed and shit on based Len just because they started to hang with cringe hollywood types. Fucking hypocrites.
>>220096925i'll accept anons' differences of opinion, but this is objectively false.they posted them to their website and Blip account, or you could view the cut-down versions on YouTube ('for free' i guess). i used to download the source videos from Blip and i really, really regret not hoarding them.hell they have HIDDEN the original YouTube uploads: look at how many videos were uploaded in 2015 then say>ORIGINAL UPLOAD DATE: _____ 2011the Blip videos were almost always 40+ minutes, the YouTube ones were usually <30 mins.
>>220099029I do wonder why Len and the bearded canadian stopped coming on RLM
>>220099029They also stopped talking to Jim because he wanted to get paid a share lol. It's funny that the few times Colin came back in the past 10 years Jim's name has never been spoken.
>>220098935they're doing it ironically.remember: if they're doing something as 'satire', and you don't like it, it's because you don't get it. there is no possibility that you understand what they're doing AND dislike it, because if you were in on the joke, then you'd like it.
>>220099120Is that for real. The nigga would always get too high and then just kind of quietly sit there, and when he would chime in it would be borderline incoherent. What’s he think he’s getting paid for? He was basically Colin’s “+1”.
>>220092223ok but all of society is losing interest in film. everything you listed sounds shit. i dont blame them
>>220092223They barely release anything at all anymore.
>>220094851They aren't doing much of fucking anything interesting. They keep teasing things like they'll reference they're watching shitty tubi movies and whatnot but that poster is just correct. Most of their content for the past year is just Star Trek or they're bored talking about nothing. Not talking about 28 Years Later pissed me off. There's plenty to talk about there Danny Boyle made 2 weird as fuck out there schizo films and no one fucking brings it up they'd rather review a 45 year old Star Trek episode.
>>220099104>Lenthey perceive their show as bigger than him, they even refused to star in the last Leo Fong flick directed by him>Jimsee >>220099120
Their silence is unironically deafening.
>>220088656Sided with the empire and took shekels to stop being honest about modern releases
>>220099764nigger they put out 4videos this months
George Lucas raped our childhood
>>220088656Rogue One review and subsequent nerd crew segments were kind of the tipping point from sensible chuckle to eye rolling retardation. Honestly surprised they still have an audience.
>>220088656>Cant stop talking about them, while wondering what happened
RLM are the living embodiment of the smug, detached Gen-X ethos.I'd venture to guess none of them has felt a single sincere conviction about anything since childhood. They exist as polyps upon the colon of culture, satiating themselves on the perceived failures of others (i.e. "The Man") while adding nothing new to the discourse aside from ironic complaint.They're a group of insecure, lost, rapidly aging burnouts who silently believe they could do a better job of making films than the professionals in the industry. Yet they lack the ambition and ability to actually enter the very industry they're obsessed with. They choose instead to fuck around and make student film piss-takes well into middle age.They are awful, awful people. I've met thousands just like them, and the last thing we need is for these people to gain any attention for their navel gazing.Please, /tv/, do not aspire to become anything like these people. Theirs is a lonely road leading to depression and a life devoid of real purpose.I hope they disappear and their disaffected followers stop subsidizing their lifestyle. Perhaps that would force them to do something productive with themselves
>>220088656Space Cop and running defense for the sequel trilogy after spending multiple hours tearing down the prequels and even parts of the OT
>>220099819As a big fan of Trek I am completely satisfied with this arrangement.
>>220088656They made the decision to censor themselves when youtube brought out all those policy changes regarding the relationship between your content and advertising revenue.Their humour relies on the ability to speak freely and they shot themselves in the foot with all the self censorship.Combine that with the fact that they don't do the type of videos that made them good in the first place (movie reviews mainly) anymore, and the shitty guests they keep getting on and it's barely worth watching anymore.
>>220100806Freddie Williams episodes are some of their best. You don't know ow what you are talking about.
>>220100806They just did a hour long review of Crank 1 & 2
>>220097812Yeah that was shocking. A similar thing happened with rich and jack, when it came out they'd never played Sonic the Hedgehog. These are 2 40 something alleged game nerds, and they haven't played one of the biggest games of all time. In their review it also revealed that they didn't know how to play platform games at all, they had no idea what you were supposed to do, and absolutely no basic level muscle memory or mechanical skill that someone who had allegedly been playing games for decades would have. It was fucking pathetic and shocking,.
>>220100876Yeah but those aren’t new movies so they don’t count because…uh just because ok? I need them to talk about new capeshit so I can then complain that they always review capeshit.
>>220100907They came from Nintendo households not filthy Sega peasants.
>>220098829>RE:View is their best work these days desuIt's just a story recap + giggling.
>>220100956It’s not though.
>>220099120Jim was way too awkward anyway. It's for the best if he's not coming back on.Colin is great though.
>>220100854Freddie is an insecure charisma black hole, the only funny guest recently is the guy who does voices and his schtick is already starting to get old.>Jack - tries too hard to be funny>Beardfat - no idea why he still gets invited, he's too domineering and only ever corrects everyone else>Tim - should be funnier but his brain is mashed potatoes from decades of alcohol abuse>Macaulay Culkin - comes across as a weirdo and has zero chemistry with the regular crew>Len Kabasinski - he never says anything funny and seems irritated most of the time>Bear McCreary - he's only been on like two episodes so the jury's still out>Jack Quaid - closeted homo nepobaby, he sucks>Colin - doesn't leave much of an impression
>>220100574Is there a reason why you homos feel the need to chime in continuously? Is it the rampant autism? Congratulations, you like a TV show, we’re all terribly proud of you.
>>220100537>Yet they lack the ambition and ability to actually enter the very industry they're obsessed with.They actually have made several movies and they all suck.
>>220096950i'm speaking loosely, but you had to be some 'partnered' Blip account or whatever-the-fuck. i don't remember their exact model, but it was more 'curated' than YouTube and competitors.that said,>Blip didn't "give" them money.didn't they?Blip was a subscription service if you wanted to view in HD. presumably, Blip was also the one collecting the ad revenue. you can call it a middleman, but Blip WAS giving them money, right? or maybe 'Blip Holdings LLC' or some shit.at any rate, i'm sure Blip wanted RLM fan traffic to their shitty website. it was a freemium service. Google has given me money because of ads. i have never worked for Google.
>>220101080Just stop watching, faggot
>>220101120Blip wasn’t a subscription service. What the fuck are you talking about? Blip just served ads, just like youtube.
>>220090106you can witness the change in attitude toward the prequels RLM caused by looking at the archives of this very board. pre-RLM they were discussed similarly to the OT and sith was a common pick for favorite star wars film. which I am also old enough to remember being the general discourse outside of this website too. RLM actually did have a big impact on general opinions of the prequels.
the whole RLM crew just looks sad to meThey have no passion no interesst or anything they dont even seem like movies or anything they just sit there for 30 40 min talking about whatever slop they just consumed to pump out content asap They are just depressed nihilits
>>220101490Literally all their videos are a group of friends joking and laughing together but ok
>>220088656>They used to control the cultural narrative.You mean when they made videos shitting on the universally hated Star Wars prequels?
>>220088656>Where did everything go so wrong for them? They used to control the cultural narrative.The Last Jedi was the moment where the world turned their backs on RLM. The Last Jedi was the most insulting, most horrible, most hostile movie you could ever make and they refused to condemn it in clear terms. They did a video with lots of handwringing and excuses when they should have called for the murder of everyone involved with that film. That was the moment their opinions diverged from the viewers' opinions (who all were calling for that murder) so much that there was no way back.
>>220101490They get to make money making youtube videos. You get to make (far less) money packing bags at walmart or something.
>>220101490That's what happens when you turn your hobby into your profession. I bet none of them even enjoy watching movies anymore.
>>220101754Nooooo nobody hated the prequels until red letter media reeeeeee
>>220092223>You can tell their actual interest in film has fallen off.>When was the last time they even reviewed a major release?So because they don't talk about the major releases they don't like film anymore? I think this is why people don't think they are relevant, because people just seem to want them to shit on major blockbusters like every other current film youtuber and they can't be asked anymore. I noticed this when Robert Pattinson Batman film released years ago, people were constantly commenting, when are you going to do that film, over and over again. They even made jokes about it in response to the comments. And they pretty much said they were done with superhero films post Endgame and couldn't be bothered. So if you don't like their Best/Wheel of the Worst shit or Re:Views there is nothing else there.
>>220101763Do you always get this triggered by nuance? You may have autism
>>220101982There is no nuance in the matter of TLJ. It was a hate crime on every Star Wars fan and RLM didn't attack it when everyone wanted them to attack it. Everyone wanted RLM to put Rian Johnson on blast and they failed to do so. It's that simple.You cannot go against the wishes of your fans as an e-celeb except very temporarily and in very minor matters.
It really is just fucking quintessential RLM that they'll do a Crank video and spend the whole time calling it crass and ridiculous and shitting on it like it's not the entire point to be crass and ridiculous>jeeezzz i mean it kinda gets to a point where its so wacky its almost, like, intentional?? okay...okay...I can get on board! but jeeeezzzz......yeessh....yiiikes....some of this didn't age well! couldn't do THAT today!Like are these guys actually fucking retarded? Jay loves I Saw The Axe Wound Grow and Mike loves absolute dogshit so long as it follows ticks all the "movie making 101 high school film studies class" boxes. And they still act like they're too good for anything? Like dude you eat shit and you're complaining about being fed shit.
>>220102087No wonder you don't like RLM. Anything more complicated than "this movie is the worst thing of all time" is beyond your understanding.
>>220102104>spend the whole time calling it crass and ridiculous and shitting on itThey didn't spend the whole time shitting on it. They were literally praising it for being crass and ridiculous. They said they love those movies and spent the entire video fondly laughing at how fun they are and making fun of the idea of getting upset at them. Are you fucking retarded?
>>220101763this is when i stopped respecting them. they hate the prequels so much they're willing to pretend the sequels are redeemable. its disgusting.
I like how RLM threads are nothing but constant autistic projection now.>uh, they're miserable and they hate everything and they're unhappy and they don't get laidNo that's just you, faggot.
>>220102104Why is the average /tv/-tard so retarded, holy shit
>>220088656I really don't like Rich. He's the annoying loud far-left liberal of the group.
>>220092223/thread.
>>220102428and yes, I know they're all liberals
>>220088656>They used to control the cultural narrative
>>220094175rlm's modern reddit adeance .
>>220102228I don't think Jay is going to jerk you off no matter how much you beg him, anon.
>>220102180i understand you have autism so i'll explain it to you that mannerisms, tones of voice and facial expressions tell a lot more than actual words and they act like they're the first people to realize these movies are supposed to be funny and stupid and talking to an imaginary audience of people who never understood that like it wasnt apparent from day one. you think jay or mike were praising the crank movies in their forum shitposting days? of course not. >you know some people might not realize the crank movies are actually, kinda...supposed to be ridiculous?wow gee thanks boomers we didn't all know that 20 fucking years ago
>>220102137DudeIt IS the worst thing of all time. IT IS THE WORST MOVIE.Everyone agreed. RLM needed to read to room and confirm what everyone already thought about it.That is literally their job as e-celebs. To repeat my own thoughts back at me.And they failed to do their job. They let down their fans when they needed them the most.That is why they're not important aymore.
>>220102569Sounds like you really don't enjoy their content. Why do you watch them and endlessly discuss then on /tv/?
>>220101192you could pay a monthly subscription to remove ads and view in higher quality. that's a subscription service.or you could be a genius like me and find the URL that had '/Source/' and '.mp4' in it. simpler times in these days of weird URL obfuscation (yt-dlp lads, you are doing god's work).
>>220102995.mov rather, i guess RLM used Apple software or something.https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/thread/37333296/#37334242hey look it's me!(DON'T GET ADDICTED TO DRUGS YOU STUPID FUCK)
>>220088656They became Woke.Mike Stoklasa shills for Woke slop like TFA and constantly demands all White people be genocided.
>>220094796>Is this shitposting or is this real?Are you retarded?
>>220099581Stop replying to yourself.
>>220100492>Rogue One reviewOh my god, are you going to pretend that was good, also?
>>220102104Yeah they shat on it by calling it the best movie ever made. What's honestly wrong with you? Do you need lithium for this?
>>220102529>redditbrainYou came from there during the elections.
>>220096300>*checks notes*
>>220101080I agree with basically everything, but I appreciate that Colin can hang in a conversation pretty well. Last Vampire on Earth being a good example that immediately comes to mind. I also appreciate that Freddy, while not particularly interesting, seems like a nice guy, and has a fair amount of knowledge on certain subjects. I also give Bear McCreary a pass just because he's a really underrated composer, and I think he'll go from Battlestar Galactica and The Walking Dead to doing music for James Rolfe, and then do the kick ass soundtrack for Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and then to back to hanging out with RLM. He did the new Deathstalker theme too, and just seems like a real good sport.
>>220103307Take your meds.
>>220096712Too bad he's locked up in a Colombian jail for the foreseeable future
I still don't get why they want to act like film is dying or something, when Parts 1 and 2 of 28 Years Later in theory should be up their alley. Two somewhat unconventional follow ups to an already somewhat unconventional British zombie film series.
>>220100024very bizarre she was murdered by her crazy brother last year
>>220088656It all went downhill when they did that series of videos trolling their fans with the Jurassic World sequel. After two or three fake videos their own "fans" reported them and they ended up with their second channel strike. Even with the Patreon cash they couldn't risk it. Go back and watch from those videos onward. Total pussies. Scared to offend anyone.
>>220088656>Mikes slow realization that the prequels are reappreciated over time which depreciates his biggest success in life. Pic semi related
>>220102434Don't they live in some flyover state where there's barely any blacks
>>220106485Some of you dipshits care more about Red Letter Media than Red Letter Media does. How sad.
>>220088656When Mike Stoklasa became a sellout shilled Nepo Babies and Wokeslop
>>220106485public opinion doesnt matter much. people today have dogshit takes on movies, only reason for the recent prequel defenders
>>220104886Mike only watches MCU trash and Jurassic World movies.
>>220107022Wisconsin
>>220107162When was the last time they talked about either of those?
>>220107035The red letter media trivia challenge episode proved this. I got almost every question correct and they can't even remember the shit they already did.
>>220092223They save the big releases for the mid-year catch-ups now. It’s obvious that those longer videos are big moneymakers because YouTube brained slugmen put them on to fall asleep to and shit. I’m assuming retention isn’t great on the classic HitB format anymore and isn’t being rewarded by YT algorithms. There might also be a degree of them just not caring for anything new and trying to avoid doomposting once a week about new movies ad infinitum. I can relate, I’m really struggling with newer, big releases these days.I don’t hate the BOTWs though. I like Jack Quaid, but I don’t like Josh Robert George Lucas Impression. But I’d still rather them do more classic BOTW spotlights with just the OG 3 and maybe original Jack.
>>220107220they reviewed the thunderbolts movie last year
>>220107507So a year ago? They’ve talked about a lot of other movies since then that have nothing to do with capeshit.
>>220107220They didn't even watch Jurassic World Rebirth, or at least one of them didn't. Didn't review it, anyway. (missing out)
>>220107860who fucking cares? recent movies are dogshit, its just endless sequels and remakes. what is there left to say about comic book movies and star wars and Jurassic park? Id much rather them review something interesting from 30 years ago or more best of the worst.
Remember the Dahmer review when Mike shamed white people for caring more about their own missing family members than about gay black prostitutes?
>>220108012I remember them talking about JonBennet Ramsey and the dude with the barrels.
>>220107113It's literally as simple as nostalgia combined with the sequel trilogy sucking dick. The prequels WERE and will ALWAYS be dogshit. The kids that grew up with them have grown up, and are the dweebs posting video essays now. Fans of the OG trilogy may have been similarly motivated by nostalgia, but in that case those movies are also objectively great
>>220108012I don’t remember that because that’s not what happened at all. Why are some of you so fucking retarded about RLM?
>>220108012no?
>>220106485>the sequels being somehow worse does not make the prequels better>reeeeeeeeeee how could you do this to picard and star trekI think that alienated a lot more fans than people realize. Yeah, the prequels were shit, but they are high cinema compared to the sequels despite being boring. I think the only profitable views they get these days are for best of the worst, which is why they are scrambling for "big name" guests. Wouldn't be shocked if some washed-up NFL player makes their way to best of the worst before too long. >oh my gooooood it's green bay packers wide receiver greg jennings!>hello>are you going to put the team on your baaaaaaaaaaaaack>as long as darren sharper ain't here>he's the hardest hitting safety in the leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeague ba da baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaIn hindsight, Geoff was the guy who pulled the curtain back and exposed how fucking lame Mike is.
I actually always hated star wars
>>220088656When Best of the Worst turned into “watch us hang out with our friends in the industry”
When they stopped watching all the marvel and DC movies cause that's the only shit you fucking babies care about.
>>220111134why does it trigger you so much to see someone vaguely famous on redlettermedia?
>>220111211Because I watch Red Letter Media for Mike, Jay, and Rich. Not nepo babies who have zero chemistry with the main three.
>>220111211because mike and jay are my friends! they arent allowed to have fake celebrity friends on instead of me
>>220088656>Where did everything go so wrong for themWhen Hollywood actually did what they said they should do.
>>220111754>lucas being this tall
>>220091403Been a while but I know you use to be able to listen to the tracks for free but what always pissed me off is how they seem to resent doing them. >You're watching movies you enjoy for the most part>talking about them like you probably normally would>some rubes are paying you for it>You bitch about it like you're diggin ditches. The whole "contempt for your fans" bit used to kind of funny but now they just seem like bitter ungrateful pricks. I used to be the kind of guy who would immediately watch an upload, now if I watch them at all, it's only after I've exhausted every other option.
rlm went woke
>>220088656Well they're more successful than ever in reality. But on /tv/ one thing happened; they liked the Force Awakens. Seriously, before the Force Awakens review /tv/ loved RLM, and ever since then this place hates them. That's it. No more comfy BOTW threads. No more funny Jay and Mike posts. Over a decade of schizo seethe.
I wish they would conclude the Mr. Plinkett storyline. Just say he lived happily ever after or whatever.
>complains that movies are too "white" now>don't even watch SinnersThey are so performative
>>220104760That's what he gets for trying to start a hippo rescue for Pablo Escobars hippos.
>>220115544Mandalorian and Baby Chuck aren't even in the top 10 anticipated movies of the summer. It's objectively over. You can stop now. You're like that lone Japanese soldier who was doing guerilla operations well into the 1950s.
>>220088656Is there a Youtube channel with a more autistic fanbase than RedLetterMedia?
>>220116483Yes.>>220107162I still enjoy RLM but I am always astounded at how often Mike alludes to just browsing the most dogshit stuff you’ve ever seen on Tubi instead of actively seeking out something good. I wish I knew what it was he was looking for when he decides to watch something that Jay hasn’t dragged him to the Theater for.>>220102529>Uses AI answer that subtly tells you you’re in minority for your retard feelings>screencaps it and saves it as wow.jpgWhat’s (Your) story?
>>220102180>>220102340>>220103384The level of seethe and retardation in RLM threads cannot be understated and you Anons are witnessing a prime example in real time.>>220102569>i understand you have autism so i'll explain it to you that mannerisms…This is absolute pottery. Anon, I am afraid you may be far, far more autistic than you realise. You gave me a hearty kek though, so well done if you’re baiting. The only thing I’ll concede that you might be right on is>you think jay or mike were praising the crank movies in their forum shitposting days?They probably weren’t. But Crank did sort of suck at the time, not because it’s bad but because 06-09 was rammed full of stinkers and an ‘extreme’ action comedy movie was far less novel back then. I think it’s actually more refreshing to look at it retroactively and see just how much shit people got away with and actually take the time to view it more critically. Any discourse around Crank at the time focused purely on how dumb the concept was (positively and negatively) and left it at that. Anyway, good luck with the diagnosis little buddy. At least you’re functional enough that you won’t need to be put in a home.
>>220102569>you think jay or mike were praising the crank movies in their forum shitposting days? of course not.There's a Half in the Bag as far back as 2011, just a couple of years after Crank 2 came out, where they talk about how much they love Crank 2.
They've proven they're all plebs (especially pseud Jay) and lazy. They've been editors for years, so taking so long to produce anything is unreasonable. Nothing they film now requires any real effort to put out. And it turns out that bitter, lazy Gen-Xers with uninformed opinions on youtube are a diamond dozen.
