I’m really not a fan of beard fat on the regular show, but he’s been tolerable on re:view in the past. Do love Tim though, so maybe it will be watchable?
Studied at a middling university for BA and a Russell Group (in the top 10) university for MA. It was the same at both.
this is one of my favorite sci-fi films and the best Trek film, the nepo baby being in the RE;view brings down the quality.
Holy shit, Mike pontificating about expanding the characters’ backstories to a five season show demonstrates how poisoned his brain is by streaming services, and how little he learned from the modern media landscape and Star Wars specifically.
I almost permanently dislodged my eyeballs from their eye sockets when I rolled my eyes at Mike's suggestion that Sigourney Weaver's character should've been secretly good at math. Like oh brother.
He also makes the retarded suggestion that Alan Rickman's character should have had a scene where he demonstrates his acting skill to complete his character arc.
Not to mention this too. Even with that said though, it was still a decent video overall, I enjoy Jack even if some of the stuff he's acting in is utter shit.
Mike always comes up with these ideas for the movies he’s reviewing and they almost always sound terrible, even if the movie already sucks.
Discussion of Galaxy Quest really required both participants to understand story structure as well as pre-mainstream nerd culture-Trekkie culture. Mike knows the latter, though it is weird Quaid doesn’t since he should have at least picked it up through pop-culture osmosis, but neither of them knew the former. This is probably why most of the video is talking about actors and speculating on ideas not actually in the movie.
Isn't Jay a life-long celibate? I thought he went asexual after the lauren thingJay can convert lesbians?
This is a shame, I wish they had have done an episode on this 5 years ago and without a celebrity guest. Maybe one of the Canadians. What a loss.
Like I mentioned earlier, surprised it wasn't done earlier, but if I were to be more specific, I was surprised that Mike didn't do it with Jim way back when considering how they did the re:view of The Motion Picture.
That, and you don't want a comedy that makes the same kind of joke for five seasons. That's arguably the case with Lower Decks, which does do the obscure Star Trek lore jokes.
And he does demonstrate his acting when he finally means it when he says, "By Grabtar's Hammer, by the sons of Warban, you shall be avenged." Good acting is about becoming that character. So, yeah, he definitely has an arc and the underlying theme of the movie as a whole; these actors become heroes.
This is a habit akin to reviews using the phrase, "a lesser movie would have..." followed by a rock-stupid idea no one suggested. I caught Mike doing that at least once fairly recently, but that was one of the worst habits of the pre-/post-Gawker-era A.V. Club. You could tell those fuckers were paid by the word sometimes.
