[Guts Gets Some]

I skipped some commentaries, due to the fact I have no knowledge of those movies; but I don't think that matters when it comes to RLM. If you like them, anything is entertaining involving them. So maybe I'll finish up.

If you didn't know, there's a lot of compilations set to video uploaded by fans on Youtube. Also fun to watch:

It's not a complete playlist; search to find the others.

i like listening to them, even without the movie

It's a hard balance, sometimes they talk about things that have nothing to do with what's on screen so you could listen to those parts like a podcast, but then they start talking about the visuals or cinematography and I feel bad for missing out.

 

[Dom Cruise]

Are any of their commentary tracks worth listening to?

I always listen to them even without watching the actual movie.

They always have interesting discussions not directly related to the movie itself, which makes me wish they did an actual podcast because I also really enjoyed their appearances on the Bunny Ears podcast.

It's a movie I enjoyed when I was about 9 or so but didn't hold up for me. I appear to be in the minority.

There's a reason Alex Winter's career has largely been a footnote to Keanu Reeves, and it's not because he's misunderstood.

Wheres the Picard review you hack frauds?

It's a beardfat episode. Imma pass

You're a beardfat episode.

It's weird that in that, Josh admits to loving PCU (a movie that's a guilty pleasure for me too). It doesn't seem like the movie that would be kosher for the NPC crowd.

He seems to enjoy it ironically, since he says it's terrible (which I don't recall being the case, but I haven't seen it in years).

Good point. To the SJWs it is a "terrible" film because it laughs at so many of their sacred cows. I recently rewatched it (because I found the DVD cheap) and it is absolutely mediocre at worst - with a large part of your enjoyment depending on how well you like Jeremy Piven. It is hilarious to see Jon Favreau as a washed-out college pothead though.

I mean the first part is very strong with a lot of great writing and jokes along with set ups for some things late in the script, but it is dragged down by what amounts to an extended music video in the 2nd act (Shooting the Rodeo definitely).

It's not bad for a sequel to Animal House, and if anything one might wonder if its relevance has grown the last few years (the main villain being a dead ringer for nancy pelosi is kind of funny too).

Oh wow, I saw this once a long time ago around 2006 I think.

What was with the 90s and freakshows? You had this movie, that Residents album and that X-Files episode.

Evil circuses (and by association, freak shows) have been an aesthetic for the punk/goth crowd for decades. I don't get it myself, but then again I think all goths should be gassed so what do I know?

Huge trope in the 90s, maybe it just fit with the grunge aesthetic? Personally I prefer the musty theater vibe for grunge, has some freakshow overlap as well:

 

[Dom Cruise]

So Freaked never got a theatrical release at all and went straight to video? That's really depressing.

Also I freaked out at Jay mentioning Media Play, I thought I was the only one that remembered that store and no, they weren't just a Midwest thing.

I'm fascinated by the aesthetics of decades that people usually forget.

When you say the 1990s to people today they usually think of the day glo Lisa Frank type aesthetic, they forget the darker stuff.

One good example is the works of illustrator Lane Smith which you often saw in various things back then.

I really wanted to see Rich descend into madness as Mike kept forcing him to do Stark Trek related re:Views.

there is only so many more levels of madness rich can fall into before he becomes a serial killer mike didn't want to push it anymore

Of all the abuse Rich has suffered over the years at the hands of Mike, watching and talking about modern Trek was what caused him to stand up and tell mike no. It's absolutely beautiful.
