Honestly, just from that line alone, I want to see just how bad that movie is. That sounds fucking amazing.

So the worst of the worst guests have this so-bad-it's-good effect, where it's funny to laugh at how flat jokes land, how uncomfortable the crew is, how just... awful the episode turns out, at least for me. Culkin's handler I have almost no memory of. The guy had may as well not have existed.

I feel like that's an even worse sin than shitting up an episode - at least I can enjoy schadenfreude at Breen's first feature.

I've seen the movie and aside from some moments, it's just a boring generic shit horror film.

I really can't wait for the episode on it, but I will say it's definitely some karma on Jay given the guy behind it directed Halloween Ends which he praised for "breaking new ground" while exorcist believer also tries to do shitty modern subversion stuff
 
It looks like this latest attempt at redoing, rebooting, sequeling the Exorcist is a dud, getting mauled by critics and horror fans. Universal Pictures and Peacock purchased the rights for a new “The Exorcist” trilogy for more than $400 million, which seems insane, especially now that what was supposed to be the first film has been released. I mean, it doesn't look likely we'll be seeing a sequel. What it looks like is we have yet another film intended to be the start of a new trilogy, or franchise, or "cinematic universe" that flops, and it seems like we've seen more than a few of those in the past several years.
 
The irony is that this was the start of a trilogy and it’s a pretty bad start given the film is pretty much conclusive. Unless the sequel (called Deceiver) is going to just rehash an older Regan to be possessed or do the same shit again where they make the preachy ending of this already shit movie meaningless.
 
I don't understand the people who hate AIDS Moby. Is it just his dreadful shitlibbery? Because he seems to keep it under control during the episodes enough that it's not obnoxious. He's not the funniest 4th chair they've ever had, but he actually can deliver some proper bantz now and then. And his cartoonish, over-animated reactions kinda work when it's just him doing them.

Beardo is absolutely devoid of any sense of humor, though. Sucks the life out of an episode like a black hole of jokes. An example of the very lamest types of nerd.

I think his shitlib predilections start him off at an unfavorably point but more than that I think a lot of the times he's just a humor vacuum. If anything is just a little too edgy for his tastes he seems uncomfortable and crushes the vibe. I think he's changed over time because I think it was him in the fuckbot skit where rlm defended rape jokes, so idk if it's some kind of trolls remorse or what. For me he was really the most insufferable during prerec. Him and Rich brought out the worst in each other, a bizarre pretension and smarminess. And his over-exaggerated mugging doesn't work like it does for Mike, but maybe that's just because I don't like him so I'm predisposed to dislike his face.
 
he's just an annoying faggot

if Mike, Jay, and Rich are laughing at something like normal people, Jack's soyjaking at the camera or running around the room

In this case, they already paid that $400 million in full from what I understand. The first movie cost $30 million and has already done $45 million, unless it drops like a stone should make over $100 million. No way in hell will ever cover the $400 million, but I see them being able to make each movie profitable based purely on their production costs, and not like if they stop making them it will make that $400 million fee any smaller. So very different than the normal flop where the movie itself flops box office-wise.

Rather shocked the bidding war got that high, I know streamers were in the mix but even still crazy, The Halloween reboot movies only grossed a total of around $500 million, in what world did they expect the Exorcist movies to do better than that? Outside the first movie which was a huge hit, the series has never done huge numbers.

I have to wonder what the next two movies will be like, will to try to start a new, make a sequel with a new creative team doing a rework, or will they go ahead with the plan they already have?

It's mostly Jack being a shit lib.
 
Half in the Bag really likes to tiptoe around the diversity/woke crap in movies but when they make notice and jokes on it, you know its bad.

They are absolutely terrified of being lumped in the same group of people like Critical Drinker, much to the detriment of their content. I'm sure it's one of the reasons they don't do that many half in the bags anymore.

Calling it now: the third film will be called "Redeemer." (The demon will be an irate Indian.)

it is kinda funny how RLM sounds like cinema sins and YMS sounds like drinker and like they look down on those guys for being shittier versions of their brand of criticism
