When did we hit peak RedLetterMedia?
>>221961338probably revenge of the sith plinkett review. i think their last video with any kind of staying power was "fuck you its january"
>>221961338Rogue One. That Nukie video shook things up a bit. I just wish they'd do more Trivia videos WITHOUT FAKE CELEBRITIES AAAAHHHH
>RedditLederpPlebia
>>221961399Trivias are kino. I still put on random beat of the worst episodes occasionally as they are comfy.
>>221961379>>221961399These two things. Fuck you it's January and the Rogue one intro were the last two big things.
>>221961379>>221961562>FYIJ video feels recent>Actually was 9 years ago
>>221961338the Nerd Crew videos
>>221961379Nah that video was shit. And so are you :^)
Shakna 2as hilarious.
>>221961338Mike holding onto those Dick the Birthday Boy photos is kind of fucked up irl. Rich's on-screen dynamic has been fucked up ever since.
>>221961653Their early videos are kino because everyone is having fun and happy to be there
>>221961338Before Mike's second arrest
probably 2012/2013
>>221961338When they caved and kissed the ass of The Force Awakens, proving that they're all hypocrites.
>>221961338https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x1YuvUQFJ0
>>221961338That Botw episode with the canadians where they all lost it at the osteoporosis dance tape. I'd say it's been downhill ever since. The bottom of the barrel being when they started flirting with ''celebs'', Patton oswalt being the absolute worst guest they've ever had, right next to Jack Quaid and his lame ass Asylum DVD pick. AIDSMoby was taken for granted
Rogue One Half In The Bag
>>221961338like 2018 give or take a year
>RedLetterPedophiliaWe know what Mike did.
>>221961912I prefer this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avXZVgzLP68>It's alphabetized for your convenience by Character Name, Stupid Character Action, Things That Don't Make Sense, and What the Fuck is Happening.
>>221961338Before people realized that Mike is literally responsible for the death of sci-fi media in Hollywood.
>>221962527This was Mike fundraising for his ghost hunting larp
>>221961338The livestream where Rich admitted he killed a homeless man then everyone panicked and the stream was over.
REM Lezar
>>221961562>the Rogue one introThat last Terminator intro or even Batman v Superman were also my favorites.
>>221961338I remember mildly enjoying a BOTW video like a decade ago. It's been a while. Nowadays I can't get further than 10 minutes into a video before tapping out.
The last Jessi episode. After that, hit or miss..
>>221961338Rogue One and Nerd Crew.Now they hang out with Z-tier celebs and shill out to not bother their hollywood friends
>>221961379>>221961562>>221961653It's still happening
>Enough time has passed that I have forgotten most of the episodesI ought to binge their stuff again
>>221963091Jay still looked like he believes things can improve for him.
Why do (you) watch this? What is the benefit?
>>221961399>Rogue One.Easily this.During that meltdown they pulled the Plinkett series out of retirement to make a video arguing with Youtube comments, jesus
>>221963215It’s easy to listen to and not really pay much attention while I make my morning coffee.
As long as they are still being posted on /tv/ for every upload we still haven’t hit the peak.Only when they are forgotten will they be post prime.
>>221963329Are you uncomfortable with silence?
Before mikes dad passed away and he got all serious.
>>221961338Mr. Plinkett's Insurrection review.>Browns and beige! And mother of pearl! And light browns and dark browns and BROWNS AND BEIGE!
>>221961338Why is he so defensive over the motu movie
The older I got the more I realized how unbearably cynical and deflating Rich was
>>221963366I typically spend the first two hours after waking in meditative silence before making coffee, so no.
>>221963503There's some significant fatherless behavior to him. If Mike never met him he would have been doomed.
>>221963503I physically cringed during the Good the Bad and the Ugly review when Rich implied they were intellectuals and Jay immediately shot him down. I love RLM, but that was full on dunning-kruger,
>>221963554You meditate and then you break that silence with shill content? That seems counterproductive
>>221963585He's just a classic 90s comic book nerd, really, and he never fully got over those personality quirks that they all shared back in the day. The love for cheap gore, anti-intellectualism, the constant christian jokes, the sometimes self aggrandizing statements, thinking everybody else and especially other midwestern folks are completely irredeemable retards (this one might be not so far from the truth), very little interest in actual pieces of culture beyond pop-science stuff, and so on. At least he can be very funny.
>>221963641That is part of my sādhāna, to remain in a meditative state regardless of distractions. It gets difficult when Rich laughs, however.
>/tv/ needs to talk about rlm any chance it gets>/v/ needs to talk about oneyplays any chance it gets
>>221963411oh shit i didn't know his dad died. it explains a lot.
>>221961338>200XIYKYK>2007The rise>2011The peak>2014The decline begins>2017Decline irreversible >2021Basically CinemaSins now>2026Mikes brain has the consistency of ice cream left out in the hot sun
>>221961985Their commentary track where they can't stop seething about the reaction they got for their over-correction is hilarious. They keep having to stop the recording to calm down and get back to talking about the movie.
>>221961848Every RLM video for the past 10 years they just look at you like
>>221961338Money Plane
>>221961338Surviving Edged Weapons
It’s sad to see how many people on this board think these people are there friends
>>221967323>there
That Jessi episode where she stands up and breaks wind>Mike smirking>Jay looking awkward like he's not sure what to do>Rich immediately getting up and moving away
>>221961338Jessi having a laughing fit when Rich Evans reads the back of that fart movie with the Harry potter ginger in it.
>>221962988If Jay is in a episode I don't even bother anymore
it made me happy to see mike at another wwe event with someone that looked like jesse. they definitely have 2-3 kids from how she looked
>>221961338Ghostbusters 2016Everything was downhill after that.
>>221961338RedLetterMedia ruined Star Wars
idk about peak but BOTW 101 was the last BOTW i really liked and watched lot. i used to love botw but it's played. Half in the Bag is still great when they talk more about the industry and trends.
The episodes with nu-Josh were ok and I think sometimes that they've peaked and were better in the past, but even back then they had that John Landis' son weirdo on a few episodes, they had the Rattatouille guy, and Mckaulauk Kulkaklin, so eh. Bring back more AIDS Moby thhough, he's good on BOTW.
>>221963503You can tell with Rich that he knows he's made a lot of mistakes in his life but there's that other more stubborn side of him that believes he's just too smart to be happy. In reality, he's probably just undiagnosed and meeting Mike was literally the best thing to ever happen to him.>>221963585He's never even seen the other Italian westerns. He acts like he has this acquired taste, but really he's a lazy gen Xer who never grew out of his childhood.>>221968847I'm watching Star Trek properly for the first (currently on season 1 on TNG) and it's really highlighting how much of a dullard Mike always was. He thinks he's a genius for getting the Motion Picture, when it's fairly obvious what the themes are.
>>221967323good morning saars
>>221961338Their Rogue One review
>>221961379The Nerd Crew had some memorable memes.
>>221961338They've clearly declined in quality but I somewhat admire how they pretty much di whatever the hell they want these days and not just what people expect of them99% of movies released in the past 8 years have been complete trash anyways....either trash or incredibly bland and meaningless, so I really can't blame them
>>221963585What did he say? I don't remember.I just remember him saying he saw it as a kid and them discussing the film
>>221961379>revenge of the sith plinkett reviewNah that shit was weak. It was far too disjointed and all over the place. There's even a Citizen Kane comparison wtf. At this point, RLM was mainstream. The earlier SW & ST reviews felt more authentic and heartfelt.
>>221961834This. A single picture created Five Nights at Freddys. That was their peak cultural resonance
>>221969300Nerd Crew is a lot less funny when you know why they created it
The Plinkett Reviews are what has aged the worst about the channelSome of the points made are pretty clever, like the ones about the structure of the films and how dull and uninspired Lucas' direction had become, but most of them are just "This character did this at this point, which doesn't make any seeeeense" And while there are lots of logic phallacies in these films, this mentality reeks of early 2000s Internet critique, when everyine thought that if they pointed out story beats that din't nake sense that would automatically make the film unwatchable when there are hundreds of films with wonky and lopsided narratives and tones that are still considered good for a wide variety of reasonsNot to mention the segment in the first part if the first Plinkett review is meaningless now that we know who everyone is lmao, and the point they try to make is incredibly forced, I'd argue that Qui Gon Jinn is a more complex character than Han Solo, it's just that Qui Gon is an okay-ishly executed character in a bad film while Han Solo is a wonderfully executed character in a great film.....but Qui Gon has more aspects and depth to him when you really analyze his character
>>221961338Robot in the Family
>>221969939That was always lurking in the background, because their Star Trek Plinkett's they made earlier reach for such shallow shit you'd think they were Cinemasins
>>221966616pretty darn good list, I must say. It was that Adam Sandler movie review where they peaked, a few years plateauing, and then I stopped watching. It became apparent that they were midwits incapable of doing anything other than driticize low hanging fruit. Rick Evans was especially instrumental in revealing this fact. He's a midle age man with the intellect of a 15 year old.
star wars holiday special
>>221969984Ooooh yes, it's one of the few things that I truky dislike about Mike, he's one of those people who treat films like they're a math equation or something, where everything has to go a certain way in order for it to be "good".And of course as soon as something doesn't feel exactly how it should, they go: "This character has been established to be really good at this thing, yet he never does it again until the end of the film, therefore it's BAAAAAAD"I agree that films have a structure to them and if a film is sloppily written it's gonna show, but films should mainly be about what they leave you as works of art and as an experience, not a checklist of "appropriate" character traits and actions There are films that are incredibly messy in their plotting and tone yet they work wonderfully because they're well paced, directed with gusto and have talented actors in them
>>221961338When Josh R Thompson made fun of Mike and you could see Mike's heart breaking in real time.
the prequels are still bad movies, get over it faggot.
>>221969816QRD?
>>221961435Ow, the wit.
>>221963306It takes a special kind of deranged Indian to think that video was a "meltdown" or that Rogue One was any good.
>>221969275So what does TNG have to do with The Motion Picture, aside from the theme song? Are you feeling well?
>>221969300Me? It's Jay pouring sponsored shampoo into his cup and Mike stopping him from drinking it.
>>221969939Here you have the garden variety prequeljeet trying to defuse the bane of its existence with passive-aggressiveness and a complete lack of arguments.
>>221970316Nerd Crew wasn't a funny satire of superfans, it was them doing a sneering "if you disagree with us you're stupid" video because they were so buttsore over how badly their Rogue One take went over with their viewersIt was, if I remember right, the fifth video in five weeks they made about R1
>>221961338The back to back double whammy of The Force Awakens and Space Flop. TFA and the sequels were basically made with all their suggestions of what they'd do with Star Wars, and Space Cop was their magnum opus which they poured all their creative energy and skill and intelligence into. The sequels exposed they didn't actually know what they were talking about and Space Cop's complete failure on every level showed they couldn't do better than the people they had been mocking up to that point. In 2016 you can see them shift from at least giving a fuck to just coasting on autopilot and enjoying patreonbux.
>>221970316some schizo shit that only happened in his head.
>>221970264Mike trying to bury the guy by having him on again multiple times in quick succession to burn those jokes out was sad to see.
>>221970513No, it was pretty much what you said first. You're still anally deteriorated about them disagreeing with your garbage taste.
>>221961338I haven't watched them in years.It was jarring to see them say the Odyssey was fine "fine" and then stumble over what was in the movie and what was in the original story.
>>221970521They were making fun of Space Cop before it even came out, geniusMike even made the "Space Flop" joke in a commentary track and said "It's gonna suck so much"They never expected it to be a hit or a good movie, it was always supposed to be a retarded in-joke that no one would like and they just made it for the hell of it
>>221970470????
>>221970895holy fucking cope, batman
>>221961338The actual downfall was Mike pretending Star Trek reboot wasn't dogshit. You can trace their current trajectory all the way from there.
>>221970895>They never expected it to be a hit or a good movie, it was always supposed to be a retarded in-joke that no one would like and they just made it for the hell of itAncient cope for artists who made something that wasn't well received >Heh it's bad on purpose, as a "joke" ;)
Why are so many people butthurt by the opinion of some friends that share their opinions about movies?
>>221970895it takes an absurd number of manhours even to make a bad filim.
>>221970998>why do people mock the parasocial relationship I have with these libtarded alcoholics? They must be triggered prequel zoomers!
>>221970513lmao, the nerd crew was a direct parody of outlets like collider that were obviously paid shills pumping out a constant stream of overwhelming fake nerd positivity about everything nuwars, what the fuck are you talking about.
They haven't been good in 10 years
>>221968847George Lucas ruined Star WarsThe prequels WERE dogshit, the sequels being even worse do not override that fact
>>221971020That's just what they wanted you to think. Wake up sheeple!
>>221971020No one at rlm is in a position to mock anyone. They produce lazy, low effort youtube slop and are no different to the rest despite their delusional smug ironic self image.
>>221970998Why did RLM cry like a bunch of bitches about harassment and bullying when a couple of friends on the internet didn't like Acolyte?
>>221970996It is bad on purpose, but they knew it was going to be poorly received and didn't seem to careIt's not a Sharknado situation where they made it bad on purpose and squeezed every penny out of it, know what I'm saying?And it is a bad movie lmao, I didn't enjoy it at allStill better than the AVGN movie though
>>221971103>prequels WERE dogshitProofs?
>>221961338With the odyssey review they sound like adults talking about adults making movies
>>221971204That's even worse tbqh. It's pretty emasculating to not even make a sincere attempt at artistic creation because you're terrified of any sort of mockery due to the relentlessly smug persona you've cultivated.
>>221971142Even in their past-their-prime state they're still morr entertaining than 95% of YT movie reviewersWho are you gonna watch? Chris Stuckmann?
>>221970910Use a translation service if you're having trouble with the language, Ranjeet.
>>221971200>disney approved opinionsthem saying the acolyte isn't worth wasting your time watching didn't seem very disney approved to me. but then I'm not a schizo who can see the 'real' videos they released that nobody else can.
>>221971290Critical Drinker.
>>221961848How can it be so arduous to discuss movies with your friends? Jesus
>>221971286Jesus Christ you're overdramaticEntire movies have been made that are full of in-jokes and things put in them just because the director thought they were funny that are, indeed, funnyThe RLM guys just aren't good enough filmmakers to pull it off, but who gives a shitPeople here talk about Space Cop as if it was advertised as something that was gonna blow everybody's mind when they themselves made fun of it before it even came out, then it did come out, no one liked it and people moved on with their lives
>>221971311They said Acolyte was okay, which it wasn't, and then they seethed about anyone who thought otherwise.
>>221971331....I would've honestly preferred if you went with Stuckmann LMAO
>>221971331I got tired of his shtick 5 videos in and haven't watched him in yearsIs he still yapping over looped trailer footage like the lazy faggot he is?
>>221971372yeah and he's the biggest critic on earth lmao.meritocracy is something that literally doesn't exist in the media. they have no reason to try to do their jobs well at all, it's better to find a grifting angle.
>>221971372And using the same 5 forced-meme clips and yapping about "THE MESSAGE" in his mongoloid accent
>>221971346Doesn't change anything I said. Insincere artists who make "bad on purpose" content are ultimately just arrogant cowards.
>>221971409Man, you sound fun
>>221971368Stuckmann is more honest than RLM at least.
report eceleb threads as off topic
>>221971441Incel board chud
>>221961834He was being a good friend.Rich was throwing his Grandmother's family photo albums in the garbage. Mike suspected he might regret doing that and saved them.
>>221971433Stuckmann is an enormous shill with an ass for a face, the fuck are you on about?
>>221971397And grift he shall. Such low effort, so many views.Fuck it all.
>>221971433He really, really isn't. He's just a shill and he "likes" everything now. The most credit that you can give him is that he's doing it for money and connections, instead of doing it because he's tripling down on a feud with the Internet he lost a decade ago.
>>221971507Thay doesn't make him a good critic thoughThat's like calling Avatar the best movie ever because it made 2 billion dollars. Quantity vs quality!
>>221961859QRD?
>>221971487Yeah, but Stuckmann at least doesn't work for Disney.
>>221961338their fall start when they stopped beating and and abusing rich evansnothing was funnier than watching rich crying and screaming he wants to join his grandma while mike and jay beating him with baseball bats
>>221971507Yeah, then you can do it too if it is such low effort.
>>221971546He'd suck their cock in a microsecond if it meant financing some other crappy horror movie. He's a whore.
>>221971567wow sick burn there, wow
I just want to know more about Rich's backstory, I've heard some things....Not to be mean at all, I love the man, I've just always been curious about it
>>221961338I don't know. Maybe you should continue to obsessively make multiple threads about them every day and eventually we'll figure it out.
>>221961379Nah, i remember the janny stickiing their Force awakens review. Their threads here used to be massive.
>>221971546How much did Disney pay RLM to say that Mandalorian and Grogu is the worst Star Wars movie and you shouldn't waste your time on it? How much did Disney pay them to say Rise of Skywalker was awful?
>enjoyed TFA (so did most people when it came out)>called everything that came after mediocre to bafflingly shit>THEY ARE DISNEY SHILLS THEY WORK FOR DISNEY AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHwhy are prequel faggots like this?
>>221971591>parents were crackheads>rich and his siblings were raised by their grandma who was looking and behaving like a david lynch character irl>rest of his family are also trailer white trash
>>221971701That's odd, because I remember him mentioning his mother showing him certain films when he was a little kid
>>221971674I heard Kathleen Kennedy herself sucked Mike's dick for 45 minutes
>>221971727It's almost like the obsessed faggots in these RLM threads don't actually know them irl and just make up autistic fanfic about their lives
>>221971738I remember that a former friend of theirs, a Garrett Gilchrist if I'm not mistaken, went off on an enormous tangent about his former friends during a livestream wayyyy back in 2013 or soHe mentioned Rich's past, how Mike supposedly stole a girl from Jay and other melodrama-worthy gossipThe problem is that all this information comes from an old 4Chan post or something, and there are no archives of Classic Gilchrist's livestream, so no evidence to support any of it other than the fact that this person exists and he did start a livestream years ago
>>221971346that is the thing though ... nobody liked it. It wasn't "so bad it's good" or worth a watch for chuckling. It was an absolute piece of shit, like the AVGN movie, only WORSE. I don't understand how they created this garbage and didn't at the very least try to re-shoot some of the most awful scenes to make this thing just a little watchable. They have lost all credibility.
>>221971822I've said it multiple times that they knew it was gonna be trash and had no pretences about it, are you blind or just plain stupid?Also, nothing in this world is worse than the AVGN movie. It's possibly the worst thing ever made by a human.
>>221971881>I've said it multiple times that they knew it was gonna be trash and had no pretences about itand yet you fail to consider the implications of this, which makes you the retard.
>>221971346>a sleuth from the silent film era and a cynical shoot first, ask questions later space cop from the future reluctantly team upIt's the premise of the movie, from which they distill maybe 2 jokes? "It's meant to be bad" my ass. It's just bad.
>>221971955Implications of fucking what? If I made a movie and I kept talking about how stupid it was going to be and how I made it as a joke and nobody was gonna like it and then the movie comes out and it's bad, made as a joke and no one likes it, how the hell would that make me lose credibility?
>>221971822>>221971881Kickassia unironically mogs Spacecop anf AVGN movie... now we just need the Spoony Moovie (2029) to blow them all away
>>221968847
>>221971692perhaps disney should've kept them on the payroll then if they wanted consistent positive reviews.eventually they learned their lesson for the obi wan and acolyte shows.
>>221972006>Spoony Moviewell, at least we will all die knowing we had thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0cpYiRkUIY
>>221972003in his head it probably proves they're wrong about the star wars prequels sucking ass and they need to apologize and everyone should stop watching their videos.
>>221971230>be mad about george bush>make entire prequel trilogy about it
>>221971692They never actively discouraged consuming Disney slop. They even recommended watching the Obi Wan show.
>>221971230I wish I could just wish away my feelings.
>>221972003Holy shit you're fucking stupid. I swear you have to be trolling.But all right, I'll bite. Ask yourself the following questions:>Isn't it a bit convenient to use 'it's supposed to be bad' as an excuse for why the movie is shit? Would you accept that excuse from other filmmakers as valid?>What does it say about RLM's ability to be trusted as movie critics if Space Cop is the best they can offer as filmmakers themselves?>What does it say about RLM's artistic integrity and competence if they aim so low as to make the movie purposely bad?>What does it say about RLM's view of their own audience if they aim so low as to make the movie purposely bad?>Why was Space Cop's attempt at humour purposefully shit? Afterall, even a low budget movie can have clever writingI could go on, but you can start by contemplating the above questions.
>>221972200Drn, I'm sick of you being such a mongoloid and not understanding a simple point
>>221961379>What's HIS story?is probably the first big RLM meme I've seen in the 20s with staying power.
>be a semifamous food critic>announce to your fans that you'll finally decide to bake a cake>put time and effort in making this cake>as it's getting cooked realize that it look like shit, demonstrating that you don't actually understand jackshit about the culinary arts>claim that you are making a shitty cake... as a joke!>cake comes out of the oven and it's shit>10 years later fanboys that don't want to accept that their GOD is an hackfraud still defend your ass on 4channel
>>221972061That's gotta be it, such a faggy response has to be expected
>>221972339Basically this. They stopped trying 25% of the way in. Which is why i liked Kickassia. At least they were putting effort in from start to finish
>>221972339>food analogyeither you're a simpleton or a master of critique
>food analogy
They were never good, the prequel reviews were mean spirited, wrong and started the whole prequel hate meme>Before RLM reviewsNo question that prequels are as good as the OT, everyone talks about them highly>After RLM reviewsInternet is flooded with mouthbreathers complaining about dumb shit like the dialgoue and Jar Jar
>>221971774>all proof from their lives comes from very old 4chan threads, which come from an old livestream, which comes from a disgruntled old friend with a chip on his shoulderI'm sure it's all very accurate information.
>>221972395>No question that prequels are as good as the OT, everyone talks about them highlyAbsolutely nobody thought this.
>>221972181>They never actively discouraged consuming Disney slop.you are mentally ill.
>>221972339You mean space cop?They tried so hard made the alien like sets and everything, am sad they never found a real FX guy maybe if they didn't bad mouthed star wars...
>>221972418Me and my friends at school certainly did. Infact, ask most of us our fave SW film and most would have said RotS back then and still would nowadays
>>221961338scientist man explains ghostbusters 2016
>>221972395>started the whole prequel hate memeI see this sort of argument so often, but ecelebs never start anything and just popularize among the masses what were already existing opinions in the niche of choice.
>>221962201I kind of hate their take on Prometheus>they didn't spell out every mystery, so it's a bad movie>why don't I as an audience member understand the exact workings of alien technology?These people will then turn around and say Star Trek The Motion Picture is a masterpiece, for exactly the same reasons.
>>221972181You're fucking retarded
>>221972481>>they didn't spell out every mystery, so it's a bad movieWhat are you talking about? They were one of the only channels somewhat defending Prometheus against those types of criticisms.
>>221969939Tbh, I mostly agree. The review focusing on how characters don't act as efficiently and logically as possible is an annoying holdover of the early Youtube review zeitgeist. The kind of shit Nostalgia Critic and Channel Awesome would do. They're still very entertaining, but for me the part where he just asks his friends to describe characters is so disingenuous. Like, of course Rich and Jay are gonna play into the gimmick. They have a vested interest in making sure the video is a success.
>>221972557They did a whole video where it was just Mike going "what does the black goo do?" while Jay looks on with a retarded expression.
>>221972557Unrelated but even tho Prometheus is a 7/10 movie it gave us David who has to be in the top 5 best written theatrical characters of the last 25 years of cinema
>>221969939I think the most disingenous bit in these reviews is when he asks the future RLM group to desribe Qui-Gon Jinn's character and they pretend they can't...when he actually is a subversion of the "old master" trope like Yoda was, but from a different angle - he's an old heretic within the Jedi order, Jan Hus instead of a papal cardinal like the rest of the Jedi council. And that Anakin got introduced to the Jedi through this unorthodox source is what sets him on his path to become Darth Vader.
>>221972595>humorless autist takes obvious bit at face value againyou really need to stop watching their videos, it's basically self-harm at this point.
>>221972638>he's an old heretic within the Jedi order, Jan Hus instead of a papal cardinal like the rest of the Jedi coPlinkett addresses this when he cuts in and says "the only character qui gon has is he is of dubious moral character. Trying to use the force on Watto and later rigging the dice role"
>>221972657so what are they implying, other than they wrote the movie wrong?
>>221972638He is the blandest most generic thing ever, he has trascended zen and just serves the story, may as well be a door you have to open and step in
>>221961338I dont know. Its been dead for awhile. They have never done Gattaca.
>>221961338Also might be that Space Cop broke them when they failed. Never picked themselves up after.
>>221972751It was such a simple task make money DistributeProfit
>>221969300>The Nerd Crew had some memorable memes.Yes, but, now I see they were just mad, that they weren't getting the money, too.
>>221971400>yapping about "THE MESSAGE"The message is a south park meme, the "what we learned today" bit.Which is really about 30+ years old by now.
>>221972638Qui Gon is an interesting character, a sort of rogue Jedi who's still part of the council and it's genuinely fascinating how his genuine choices end up dooming the Galaxy is a sort of "butterfly effect" situation, so a good character and Lucas did indeed succeed in creating a SW character that wasn't a stock narrative archetypeI just wish the whole film around him was better LMAO
>>221972657there is absolutely no indication in their analysis that they understand the subtext of the movie. In fact, as with all their reviews, they take a childish and arrogant glee in doing nothing but pointing out plot holes and other surface level 'flaws'.
>>221972595not understanding humor is a sign of autism
>>221972897I agree he is interesting but he isnt given wnough moments to be that rogue Jedi he supposedly is. There are subtle moments but nothing direct
>>221972595>while Jay looks on with a retarded expressionGee I wonder if there was a reason that they both acted retarded and stupid in that video?
>>221961338The Jack & Jill review
>>221972900You should try actually watching their actual review of Prometheus instead of complaining about their follow-up joke video that you clearly didn't understand the point of.
>>221972913"it's a joke" isn't an excuse. Jokes have meanings and intents. >dude, we were just being le silly chungusNo you weren't, you were inferring something.
>>221972953>Jokes have meanings and intents.Yes and you clearly missed theirs. But keep digging yourself further down.
>>221972971So why for years did people post this video as a "gotcha" whenever someone said Prometheus was underrated?>Duuuh, what does the black goo do??Ask the fucking aliens, retard.
>>221972948I did watch the review, but unlike your retarded ass, I understood that despite them paying lipservice to kind of liking the movie, they fundamentally didn't understand it, and as always, defaulted to nitpicking it for being stupid and containing plotholes.
>>221973006They literally make fun of the people pointing out "plot holes" in that video. You're fucking retarded.
>>221969939imagine writing this
>>221973034plausible deniability.
They must all have kids now, right? Is that why they don't put in as much effort with their reviews? Like their HITB of The Odyssey was just 30 minutes of them stroking off Nolan.
>>221973159>a review is low effort if it doesn't validate my opinion
jesus christ the prequel shills found the thread and are having a literal cry session lolthis is why they need to go back to their hard style, to shake all these faggot parasites off humanity
>>221973221You're assuming I have an opinion on the film, I don't. I remember watching their very first episode of HITB when it premiered. They used to actually put effort into their reviews. Now it's these comically short videos where they stroke off the latest blockbuster. Kinda lazy.
>>221961338Space Cop
>>221969939>>221972638Not really. Try defining Qui-Gon without mentioning his appearance or his role/profession in the style. You can easily do that with Han Solo. Like they said, he's rogueish, cocky, cynical, street-smart, flirtatious... The list goes on. Qui-Gonn? You failed at it yourself saying >subversion of the "old master" trope>an old heretic within the Jedi orderThat's describing his role within the story and his actual profession. His character isn't defined enough to easily rattle off his characteristics, but I'm sure you'll try.
>>221974165He is stoic
>>221974232A plank of wood is stoic too
>>221974268A plank of wood should lead the jedi order
Back when Brein was still in gear
>>221974323A valid observation
>>221970895They spent literal years making the film. There's tons of videos of the production process showing how much effort they out into it. Them saying "ha ha we know it's going to suck and really don't care" was 100% pure undistilled copium. They said that because their egotistical gen x pride wouldn't let them admit they are untalented hacks. That's why I said Space Flop fails on every level. At least if it sucked it'd have some entertainment value. It doesn't, it's boring by every metric and RLM put far too much time and energy into it to be able to brush it off as "intentional" suck.
>>221971331kek, harping about RLM, then telling us outright that your IQ does not even exceed 70. Masterful gamit!
>>221972832>that picThe worst theater experience I have had in recent memory was when I was seated next to a fat white guy who laughed like Peter Griffin at every single line of dialogue even though the movie was not a comedy at all, and snorted like a farmyard hog every time a character moved or did anything. I would take a theater full of only blacks every time.
>>221968612He laugh is so forced. I hate it.
>>221961379I honestly really like the trivia game shows and they need to do another ghost hunters expedition
>>221972405Oldfag here. I watched the og stream, it just seemed like a bitter former emplotee/friend talking a bunch of shit im sure only a colonel of it was true
>>221976064>only a colonel of iti don't even know what to say
>>221976175>He's never eaten colonel from the cobNo I'm not going to ai a picture of that. I don't even need to
>>221971701I definitely get the impression that he was raised by the grandmother and he's teatotal because the parents drank.
>>221961338Mike Stoklasa is a gay retard
>>221963411>>221966427That was a few years ago. I have a friend who was working at the funeral home. Mike was with Jessi, Rich was there, but no Jay, weird. Mike was unresponsive, poor guy.
>>221977481Yet he holds complete sway over the decisions of billion dollar corporations.
>>221974165here we have the average RLM brainlet still trying to pretend that having "easily definable" characteristics is an ingredient you need for a film, and not a completely made up qualifier with nonsensical rules.you want to know how full of shit you fags are? RLM liked the sequels which had the most bland, boring, safe, and embarrassing characters of all time.
>>221963585Lol I don't remember that part. Time stamp?
>>221961338They will peak when they finally get Jay to watch a Star Trek show.
>>221971338they're like 60 year old single guys man it's not fun anymore
COVID is the downfall. They stopped going to theaters. Now they seethe and complain about them all the time, and make videos of how they’re dying. Basically, they settled into watching slop that went straight to streaming rentals and sparingly watched the big movies. If you want to get really specific it’s when The Batman came out.
>>221977764>>221969388https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17N8_E40Nl0&t=1167s~3:27 into the video
>>221972428aren't the canadians both FX guys?
>>221961338End of the Star Trek era Probably Picard
>>221978114utterly embarrassing.this is a good reminder to never get high on your own farts.
>>221977818Mike may have married Jessi. There's a recent clip of them together at a wrestling match.
>>221963585Rich is weird, because he simultaneously believes in being a media junk food midwit and also being some intellectual. They're all pseuds, but Mike and Jay at least keep it better in check than Rich does.
>>221978390He never looks happy
>>221961338The first 2 Nerd Crew videos are so fucking good
>>221961338Their best work is their commentary tracks and they never make them. What is their problem?
>>221972395Prequel hate happened immediately after The Phantom Menace was released. You were a retarded kid back them and don't remember https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RsWTiafB21Q
>>221970396It's funny how Rogue One was the Disney Star Wars movie they heavily pushed back on -- they criticized it in their review, made a Nerd Crew video mocking it, did a commentary track on it AND a Plinkett video on it. And yet the other Disney Star Wars movies are so bad that Rogue One now stands today as by far the most popular and well-liked movie they made.
>>221978496They only do them for paying gigs now. Better hope that video game gets a sequel.
>>221961338Star Wars Holiday Special video obviously. Beyond me why these guys don't just have a podcast where they improvise everything, that's when they're at their best
>>221970513Their Nerd Crew Rogue One video is still the funniest thing they made, Mike perfected his deadpan humor
>>221978496Those probably don't sell at all and people just listen to them from the bandcamp websight. Love these fat homos but Rifftrax they ain't.
>>221977386He doesn't drink because he used to be an alcoholic, not much more to it.
They probably peaked with the Sam Raimi Movies Ranked video.
>>221978653Listen to a few of their commentary tracks and you'll change your tune.
>>221979152I have, they're mostly great like Batman and Robin and Ghostbusters 2
>>221978560What is this weird revisionism around Rogue One? It was the absolute worst of the nu-Wars before The Mandolrian and Groglet. It's junk, absolutely empty and devoid of anything besides "I remember that"
>>221971674Disney plays both sides, that's how they stay on top. It's controlled opposition!
>>221962164This is the first I've heard of it, but I believe it implicitly with no further evidence required.
>>221979383It's not good but it's obviously better than the sequels.
>>221963503>the beating of a man who simply needs to be beaten
>>221979446TFA>Solo>Garbage>The third one>Burning Garbage>The Second One with Pink Hair Woman>Rogue One>Grogu
>>221961338
>>221978450>that neck goiterI have become the Feeding Frenzy...
>>221979760Please please please be real please please
>>221974165Alright, fineQui-Gon Jinn is also rogueish but in a more stoic and "zen" way, he's smart, well-intentioned but ultimately fails to recognize the danger present within Anakin, he's stubborn and willing to ignore the Council' opinions to suit what he thinks is the righr way to go along....Is that enough?Now, do I think that he's a perfect character? No, but I think he's the most interesting aspect of TPM and while I'm not usually a huge fan of Liam Neeson I think he nailed the character, even though his signature emotionlesness does make thebperformance a little stiffBut he is a more complex character (or maybe I should say a more innovative character) than Han Solo, who's pretty much your classic Old Hollywood cowboy or James Dean-esque "cool guy" archetype, the only new thing about it is that he's in SPAAAAAAAAAAACE
>>221978521>You were a retarded kid back themYou mean the target audience? Kevin Smith was like 32 when it came out.
>>221979966Yeah you're right, no one over 18 was interested in the new Star Wars movies in 1999. Yep. No one.
>>221969127>Half in the Bag is still great when they talk more about the industry and trends.Hell yeah to this. The episodes where they're talking about real interesting gutter shit where they're not pretending to be evaluating art or whatever are the best. Much like their early Sandler reviews, that's the kind of shit that takes a good peek behind the curtain as to why everything is so fucked. The Tubi/Blumhouse garbage deep dives are great. Wish they'd more of those.
>>221979996Yes, fat manchildren like RLM and Kevin Smith.
>>221978450based mike yeeting since DAY ONE ISH
>>221963091https://youtu.be/H18RUB1cxfI?t=395
Jay got so absurdly breedable in 2016-2019, it was distracting
>>221979760
Only Josh "The Wizard" Davis can save RLM now.
>>221961834>Mike holding onto those Dick the Birthday Boy photos is kind of fucked up irlWhy?
>>221971774>how Mike supposedly stole a girl from JayI thought Jay was gay
>>221979427the best evidence is that it feels true and makes me mad already
>>221968581Haha. Source.Or ai chubby midwest midget model recommendation, I don't care.
>STILL seething about rlm
They generally don't cover anything I watch, so I don't bother with 90% of their content.But as someone who considers Star Trek TNG as the greatest show ever made, their Star Trek content is solid gold-pressed latinum.
>>221975382i havent been to a theater in 20 years, are assigned seats the norm now? can you not freely roam as god intended anymore when someone is crunching nachos in your ear?
>>221983592Trekkies are insufferable
>>221968847Star Wars was actually never good.
>>221982260I knew Jay was based.
You guys have mentioned the Rogue One review multiple times. What's so good about that? I personally do not care the least bit for Star Wars so I never watched it
Pre Rec with Aids Moby and Rich exposed how seriously Rich took himself. Made you realize why Mike had to keep him in check and bully the shit out of him. Aids Moby came off friendly and relatable while Rich screeched at the chat. Let's not mention when Rich brought his "partner" on eck
>>221984137My first impression of Pre Rec was tuning in and seeing rich tell Moby to shut up or something and saying in his transatlantic voice "Im there star here" it seemed like a joke but rich was definitely serious and aidsmoby looked hurt.Turned that shit off and never watched again lmao
How has Jay aged so well? Dude looks better than he did 20 years ago
>>221984220manlet magic
>>221984137Rich is too much of a cynical asshole for me these days. I can't remember what they were reviewing but i just saw something were rich said "i laughed 3 times" but the way he said it was with this air of smugness like he purposefully tries to not enjoy himself and he takes it as a challenge for him to laugh at something. Like you said he's taking himself so seriously like you NEED to impress him.
>>221984056It's a /tv/ thread about RLM so it's probably a schizo.
That one Best of the Worst where they get too drunk to finish reviewing the movies
>>221984220A little bit of exercise and hair grooming, maybe some correctly sized clothes, goes a really long wayAlso I think he fixed his teeth right?
Okay but does /tv/ have this long lasting relationship for RLM for their content, or for the personalities of their parasocial friends?
Sex with Jay.
>>221984738there are a lot of gay guys that are obsessed with 3/10 jay
>>221961338>When did we hit peak RedLetterMedia?When Mike finally apologized.
>>221984891>3/10 jaythat was this one right?
>>221985145is that wolverine
>>221971142Nice opinion and all but it is not an argument.
>>221975382Damn sounds like your one off anecdote on an anonymous forum populated mostly by bots completely negates national cutural and demographic trends, bravo!
f
>>221961338Recently bit the bullet and finally unsubscribed. Mike has gotten more and more smug an obnoxious over the years. He's basically just a fat Reddit guy now. They have all gotten more and more out of touch since they started having celebz on.
I stopped watching when all of their Half in the Bag's were 5 minutes of saying a shit movie was alright, and 30 minutes plus of smugly making fun of chud comments on Twitter, etc, the worst offender being their Prey review.
>>221961338When we were in high school
Their skits are unfunnyTheir constant >DUDE I WOULD MAKE THE BETTER BY DOING THIS! is beyond boringTheir reviews are paid forMike is fatJay is faggotRichs wife looks like his twin sister in a very bad way
>>2219613382014. they haven't been good for well over a decade now

>>221986878>The cycle of every groundroots/organic Product line/Talk Show/Social Platform >Only appealed to nerd/autist/"honest" sensibilities when they needed to build a following. >Then when they have enough of a following production companies have to pay them attention >They can now start cashing checks in exchange for regurgitating what the corporations wants them to.It happens with literally everything in every medium whether its a web browser, a popular online store, a TV critic or your favorite e-celebs. You can even abstract it to non social things with some tuning, like how earlier products are always of better make than later ones as companies replace good parts with cheaper alternatives to meet demands and follow more growth (where it can be referred to as "Enshittification")
>>221984891Jay is sexy
>>221987590Too bad he got fat again.
>>221987968He still looks good, he's just old now
>>221983907They are giga normies who think they are smart. Just the fuckin worst combination.>>221983907
>>221961338Around 2015-2016.
