Max was only on the show because he obsessively tweeted at them like a fanboy. It was fucking weird. And they were still at that point where they were open to that sort of thing, they don't seem like they are anymore. I hope they learned their lession about letting just anyone on a panel. I still don't really care for culk either.

I liked the interview videos they did with Max, but man, I could go without guests on BotW for at least a year at this point.
 
There was the "transporter accident" line that Rich, Mike, and Culk gave simultaneously. That's the most memorable one for me. Culk isn't terrible but it's weird how they seem allergic to any other sponsors or shout outs but are fine with the Bunny Ears nonsense. And that episode with Sean where they talked about Roar was a train wreck of cringe. Sean sucks, and where culk goes Sean goes. Patton wasn't bad but he wasn't great either. Freddie Williams was alright. And the Canadians are fine. But I can't think of a single guest episode that I like better then a standard panel. I honestly hope they stop doing special guests entirely. They don't fucking need them, just like they don't need sponsors.

If we never get another one with that Simon Barrett faggot I'll be so happy. He was more of a wet blanket than Josh.
 
I like the special guests. They keep things from feeling repetitive.

Hell, I was ultimately even fine with Max. He's an obnoxious spaz, but he's a part of Hollywood, he's not a completely terrible director/writer (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency was genuinely great, fite me), and it was cool to see the guys rubbing elbows with someone from the industry they talk about constantly. Plus, he probably put them in touch with Mac (who was in that "short film" Max made that was at the end of one of their episodes), and I love Mac. (His buddy I could do without, but I don't hate him.) Also, I don't accept rape/sexual assault accusations made against anyone at face value, not even a guy I instinctively want to dismiss who hangs out with dangerhairs. Too many (power-)mad hoes out there lying.

He isn't a rapist, but he is obnoxious and he ruined a perfectly fine Neil Breen episode by being obnoxious.
Whereas, Culkin is like a drugged salamander that crawled out from under a rock, but I can't blame him 100% for that. He's just not very interesting.

There's an uncomfortable vibe when they have "celebs" on. I guess a bit of it is that you know most of hollywood are woke tards.
I don't trust the judgement of someone who sits on twitter crying about Nazis and I certainly don't want to hear their opinion... well at all.
Which is unfortunate, because it'd be interesting to hear film makers talk about filmmaking in a genuine sense, but perhaps BOTW isn't the best venue for that.
 
I can get why people dislike Max because he has that kind of personality. But now people hate Culkin because... Whatever. Makes me wonder if some guys just want to be contrarian faggots.

I just rewatched the first culk episode and I think what bothers me is his vibe is so off from the others. Not necissarily as bad as someone like Max but it still doesn't entirely gel. In a normal panel the guys don't talk over each other much, they know how the editing works and they talk within a very structured format. Culk uses a lot of filler words and rambles and laughs at himself. Also his jokes are rarely that funny? Like I don't understand how I've laughed at Jack more then Culk. Then at the end the "we all liked Home Alone 4 best because Culk stared at us" gag seemed like it wasn't run by Mike ahead of time, since he reeled it back in and was like "...no but really which is best of the worst". Basically Culk isn't trained to the format as well as the others and sticks out. But I don't think Mike likes to be as pushy with his guests as he is with his friends so he lets it slide and doesn't try to push them to act a certain way and just edits around it.

I'm glade you explained your point but I respectfully disagree. Culkin gets along well with the Crew and I even remember people around here exclaiming how he feels like he's been a part of the group.
 
Mackaly Culkin and Max have that douchey L.A. style of humor which doesn't mesh well with self-deprecating mid-westerners. I think that's why the Canadians work so well.

Freddie Williams seemed happy to be there and was genuine and likeable. Patton was insufferable.

Thought the Bunny Ears stuff was going to be a Nerd Crew crossover, and then it wasn't.
 
I'm going to side more with Mike on this one.

Yes, Joker wasn't perfect, but there was legitimately great stuff in there and I felt it was genuinely tense for most of the film.
 
Mike has always come off as the guy who especially tries to break down a movie if there was a lot of hype being built up on the lead up.

Look, Rich needed a new boytoy and who are we to deny him?

So Len Kabisinki and Samurai Cop are the two ideal guests?

Math checks out.

I am so butthurt that I haven't seen Joker yet and can't watch most of this.

I will say I had kind of the reaction Jay did to the movie when I saw the trailer (it seemed a little broad and filled with stereotypical elements/ideas), so... I hope I'm wrong, Jay is wrong, and I love the film.

They agree that it's flawed but solid, and commend WB/DC for taking a risk.

Kinda in-line with my opinions actually.
 
Jay seemed weirdly obtuse during this review. Missing stuff like the protestors adopting the clown motif both because of the subway shootings and because Thomas Wayne refers to the non-elites as clowns, background chatter and references talking about stuff getting worse (which Mike had to point out), and the riots likely exploding like they do at the end due to the police shooting.

Yeah I noticed some movie reviewers strangely not noticing that like Schaffrillas whose usually on point acted like the murder is the spark instead of Thomas Wayne's response of referring to the citizens as clown
