So a fan edit of the RLM terminator commentary got posted yesterday.
 
Patreon Update:

New Wheel of the Worst edit with a special guest is complete! However, due to the nature of the content I will have to fight the YouTube bots on what words it deems unacceptable to his Fordship. This has been a problem as of late and will require many time-consuming re-edits and uploads, but it shall be worked out. In the meantime we are shooting a classic HITB for ONE movie. As Jay called it, the original Asylum film! Got two new videos dropping in the span of a week. Maybe three! I think we might finally complete the framing of our USS Defiant helm control panel. SO MUCH GOING ON it what has started out to be one of the worst years ever!

So it's probably going to be King of the Ants. Jay called it the first Asylum movie in the 2023 Catch-up.

Hahah at Mike's Autism about people eating during movies. Sometimes that drives me crazy too. I remember once this guy got a bag of M&Ms right next to me ate them.. Fine, but then continued to crinkly the bag loudly for the rest of the damn movie. I was young then and just suffered, now I'd say to knock that off.
 
I can't believe it took Mike five years to see The Lighthouse.

I really hope no one still takes his opinions seriously.

Edit:
Mike reading off printed reviews has gotten beyond stale too. Feels like it happens almost every Half in the Bag now.
Damn, some of you might be right with how RLM is on the downswing.

Made even worse by the fact he admitted the audience score was 75%, that's pretty damn high for user reviews but he goes out of his way to find a dumb one, which wasn't anywhere near as amusing as the early ones he read

How about stop being faggots and instead of bending over backwards to make youtube happy maybe upload somewhere else.
 
Oh god Mike brought back reading the bad online reviews. It's one of the worst parts of RLM the last few years and I thought they wisely gave up on it. Shit!
 
Don't really mind the reading of the reviews but find it kind of funny that Mike’s biggest complain about movie was that they didn’t speak with German accent – an argument on par with the reviews they are making fun of in terms of retardation levels.

I mean to be fair, I also had that complaint and its because most movies it wouldn't be a problem, but with Robert Eggers, he usually tries to be accurate to the time period and location. So having a movie take place in Germany and a good portion of the characters speak with posh british accents can be a bit distracting.

Quite different than the reviews that they made fun of complaining about no action in a gothic horror or how Orlock looks like a boat

despite how good Mike is at mocking retards, his tastes are literally cable network tier, like how he wanted Rogue One to be an ocean's 11 knock off or his idea for some movie involving the villian being spanked and being naked and bound like a turkey at thanksgiving or for Multiverse of Madness he demanded a shitty montage of our heroes going through different multiverses like a fucking Rick and Morty episode.

even his Space Cop idea was cable network tier garbage, he truely has bad ideas. no wonder he needs his subconscious to tell him a movie's bad.

He sometimes starts ranting that the movie isn't what he wanted it to be, which is completely different from criticizing the film and finding areas where it could improve.

I disagree. In the Vvitch or Lighthouse actors spoke like they did because that’s how people in that period and area would talk. Germans in 1800’s wouldn’t talk English in the first place and from their perspective they would sound normal to each other. There’s no perfect solution to this problem, but if you're going for accuracy, you get actors to speak period accurate German and subtitle it. Otherwise, it is just a pedantic fart sniffing without a full commitment to the bit. Having actors speak with German accent would (like Jay pointed out) make them sound like cheap carnival attraction or Mel Brooks movie.

I liked how The Hunt for Red October handled the language question. Has any other movie done it that way?
