I've watched all the Half in the Bags. Voicing his opinions on attractive females was something he did more during the beginning of the show, leading me to wonder if he was just playing up a type early on. But yeah. I know he's about as gay as Max Landis the rainbow haired tiddy groper.

That Best of the Worst is the best proof, I say. It was clear Jay was highly annoyed by Landis the entire time, especially when he accused Jay of being gay. Pretty funny.

Jay's sex drive has been completely warped by years of gross torture porn shock pics. Whether or not he's gay is irrelevant because he only gets aroused at brutalized corpses.

The old adage "those who can, do; those who can't, teach" comes to mind. Except I'd rephrase it as "those who can, create; those who can't, criticize." Critics generally aren't good at the things they criticize, and I can't think of an example off the top of my head where a critic actually stepped into the field and pulled off something good.
But that's okay, honestly. You don't have to be a Michelangelo to give your opinions on art, you don't have to be a Scorcese to give your opinions on film, and so on. Hell, you don't even have to be a Tommy Wiseau. What matters in criticism is how best you can convey your stance, and the best critics draw on a wealth of knowledge to form their opinions. That's why it's entertaining to watch a Half in the Bag, because Mike and Jay (and generally anyone else they bring on) have watched plenty of movies and TV shows and can use that to their advantage. Just because Space Cop is ninety minutes of inside jokes and Rich falling down doesn't mean they don't know what they're talking about. Space Cop also basically seemed like an excuse to shitpost in movie form, so it's probably not the best example of their potential anyway.
I will say that they know how to handle the technical side of things, especially on a budget. The behind-the-scenes vid for Space Cop was rather interesting to watch for that reason. I think if they worked with another writer, they could produce a quality film. I just don't think they really want to. Their shows and Patreon pay more than well enough to support the studio, and taking time away from that for a couple years to make another film doesn't really make a lot of sense. Remember Jay's quote from the beginning of the video: "Every single aspect of making movies is a giant pain in the ass. And, it's never worth it."

For the question whether Jay is gay or not, in his short film Pork Pork in Outer Space there's a scene with a fully nude actress with large breasts.
It's more for shock value humor than titillation, but I can't help but feel like he wouldn't care to put that in his movie if he was gay.
It's a shame because she added an interesting dynamic.
When exactly did she disappear?
It's just simple curiosity.

Why bother making and destroying sets for their review show where all they need to do is sit and talk?
Because they have a good time doing it I'd imagine. I think they honestly just wanted to try and make a movie despite knowing it would be shit considering their lack of talent, experience, and resources. Mike also doesn't have that strain of ego/vanity that results in him ignoring those limitations and putting on a black tank top and doing action scenes while unironically believing he is a bad ass.

So what ever happened to the Plinkett animated series? Why did Shaun take them off his and RLMs channel?

Forget that, where's the Plinkett Picard review?

There's a best of the worst where they made a joke about "space cop" and apparently from that the movie was born.
So what do you expect from an offhand joke/dare?
If you're going to create, you have to have some lack of self awareness. Critics if they're not careful, can get to the point where they question every tiny aspect of the art from their critical eye and thus end up paralyzed.
BTW, I know yahtzee and Shamus young are video games critics that have done video games also. No idea of the quality though.

I played one of Yahtzee's point-and-click, horror adventure games years ago. I remember not being impressed.
But everyone starts how making derivative shit. Maybe he's gotten better?

I'm really on the same wavelength as RLM when it comes to to those bizarre early 90s studio films like Nothing But Trouble and Freaked, love that stuff.
Nothing But Trouble, while flawed, has just so much bizarre creativity and yet it's also a movie starring Chevy Chase and Demi Moore, it's such a hodgepodge of bizarre cult movie and studio comedy, there's nothing else like it (John Candy is also great in it)
I mean, I can see what Dan Aykroyd was going for, what Ghostbusters was for the ghost movie genre, Nothing But Trouble was supposed to be that for the "cannibal hick" horror genre ala Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it's a little easier to understand when you look at it that way, but even then that is still an incredibly bizarre idea and it's no wonder it wasn't a hit and the movie itself doesn't fully work, but I'm glad it exists.
There's so much creativity with the backstory of "Valkenvania" and how the Judge is somehow able to legally get away with his murders.
For whatever reason in the early 90s it was a trend for studios to experiment with really bizarre, surreal movies, some of which were hits, like Edward Scissorhands, most of which weren't, like Robin Williams' Toys, but I still love that slew of movies even when they're flawed for being something unique.
Toys would be a perfect candidate for a Re:View episode as a matter of fact.

Nothing But Trouble had a very "Tales From the Crypt" nineties vibe to me. EC Comics and pulp were being mined as a source for entertainment, especially since HBO had come along and had started producing R-rated TV series that could fully show what only horror comics had been previously able to get away with.

RE those that can't do teach....I feel like their problem isn't that they don't know how to make a good movie, it's that they lack all the resources a typical film has while trying to emulate them. A normal film has separate people in charge of scripts, lighting, sound, editing, directing, effects, etc. Mike and Jay do like 90% of that alone, and they're only ok at it. They made Space Cop because they liked the idea of making a sci fi buddy cop movie first and foremost, they didn't care that a space movie would require a lot of work and money to look believable. And when you cant make something look believable you have to lean into the shlock.
There was a prerec stream of Jack doing a simple green screen effect for a Space Cop scene but he had to do it a harder way because Mike and Jay used 2 pieces of green paper with a seam which would make keying it out difficult. And when he got everything all correct the footage he placed into the window came with a bounce because someone walked by the camera when they were filming it. Lots of little mistakes like that add up in production to make everything harder and take longer to fix. They could probably make a good low budget drama but they're allergic to playing it serious so that would never happen. Maybe if each of them were put in charge of one aspect they excel at. Like if someone wrote a movie and was backing it with a great crew and funding, Mike or Jay could be a good director or editor. One role only. Feeding Frenzy was pretty alright though.

Jay was such a dork back in the day, imagining him next to a naked woman is such a bizarre thought for me.
Ironic, since most consider him to be the only one of the RLM group capable of scoring lots of chicks these days.
I don't think so. Did you watch that behind the scenes video about it? There was literally early footage of it back in like 2008, before they even got popular. The idea's way older than that.

We all know you imagine laying naked next to Jay. Don't hide it.
