If you are looking for cutting edge political takes then RLM is the last place to go. Punching down is literally their entire format.

I'm just not looking for political takes at all from RLM.
I don't take this "punching up/punching down" theory of comedy seriously like SJWs do, and I probably shouldn't have phrased it that way.

But there are YouTubers I used to like, like Cinema Snob, that started getting obsessed with angry-reviewing Christian films. All the "jokes" basically boil down to, "These people have different values than me! LOL!!!" Those films mostly have shoestring budgets and it feels like picking on a retard. A handful of them are legit so bad it's good and worth showing us, but the majority are just boring.

KF has been fucking up a lot lately. I've had some double-posts happen to me too.
 
This is a CHRIS CHAN website.

It is not a CHRISTIAN website.

Moreover, it is not a christian rock / rap website. If you are offended by the mockery of that Carman dork, beaware this site is riddled with unkind, unchristian, ungodly and indecent posts.

They are just too liberal for my taste, I watched some of their reccomendations, but mostly was dissapointed.
How liberal are they anyway? Especially Rich

It's been my hunch that Rich is the least liberal of the guys. He seems to be the most grounded anyway. I don't think he gives a shit about schmoozing with celebs or maintaining a SJW-friendly front.

The only Leftist thing about Rich is his atheism. Otherwise, he's a blue collar construction worker. Mike & Jay, on the other hand, are more guarded about the subject. I think the clearest glimpse of it is in their Starship Troopers review where they side with Verhoeven and are baffled by why people took the wrong message from that movie. When a full, objective review of the movie is that Verhoeven failed his artistic goals. Just about every Bug scene has the Bugs act like monsters and every shot of the Humans has you sympathizing with them on some level whether it's getting stabbed or burned or nuked. The Outpost Whiskey battle is shot like The Battle of the Alamo, for example. Even SS Doogie Howser isn't saying anything controversial:

That's a command level test Troi had to pass in Star Trek. Now, you want see a movie that succeeds at Verhoeven's artistic goals with Starship Troopers, it's called Starship Troopers 3. And has Jolene Balock, so Star Trek reference.

That reminds me of how Ridley Scott was baffled that some took "Black Hawk Down" as a pro-military movie, even inspiring folks to enlist, when he meant it to be the opposite. It's crazy how a director can so misunderstand their own creations. Scott obviously understood the comradery that forms between soldiers as well as their selfless sense of duty, but it's as if he didn't understand how those things could be appealing in their own right.

He's also pro gun control.

Yeah, I don't think anyone is operating under the assumption that any of the guys are actually conservative. I get the impression that Mike and Jay don't have any strong core beliefs. Mike in particular seems like an outright nihilist.

Jack is super trad conservative.
Grew up on a farm, can handle guns, learned a traditional trade and used to be a butcher, and has a wife and children.

Me personally, I really enjoyed Best of the Worst: Wheel of the Worst #24. The episode was perfect in it's simplicity, but complex in it's subtly. I give it a 9/10, it's far more entertaining than the previous episode which I gave a 10/10.

I don't know how people managed it, but the subreddit is actually less embarrassing than this thread half of the time.
Maybe it's because all they do is regurgitate stale memes instead of whining about how much their favorite e-friend disappointed them.
 
They're e-celebs now, not just some guys in a warehouse watching shitty movies, I don't know why anyone's surprised they’re less interesting....

They're trying to appeal to a) advertising and b) hollywood celebrities that want to promote their latest pedowood film by going on the internet cool kids show.

Basically... their show now is like KiwiFarms, but for movies... but people WANT to be on there and you CAN'T laugh at fatties or call people niggers and kikes. They've Joe Rogan'd their "experience".
