I don't remember how Rich reacted to the Donald Farmer movies they watched in the past but I get the feeling he specifically opted out of this episode.

I was going to say, Rich is in more episodes than anyone else, but I can almost hear him telling Jay to fuck off.

rich hated them. he was more disgusted by shark exorcists than any other movie i can recall him watching. i wouldnt be surprised if rich flat out refused to ever watch another donald farmer movie.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a choice. Their patreon update from last week announced his passing. I'm glad that they're honoring his memory by watching pervert films
 
Verdict: I fell asleep; after scrubbing to the point where I dropped off, I found myself disappointed that 20+ minutes remained.

No, the so-called grifters--which includes RLM because they do the same job--did their jobs by watching the show so that everyone else doesn't. If they did what you said, shills can safely dismiss the complaints as weaksauce and continue to shill. The so-called grifters said the show sucked and brought receipts detailing why it sucks and that's what convinced normal people to not watch.

A hundred "grifter" channels telling their combined audiences of millions not to watch is called net negative viewership.

A lot of the shows and movies that "grifters" go after, RLM likes.
I do not think they do the same job.
 
I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but in the latest Best of the Worst, AIDS Moby has fresh (most likely cringe) tattoos on his left forearm covering up his old tattoos of stick figures that presumably represented his family, and one on his left triceps of baby footprints. The first two photos are from about six weeks ago, and the last one is from the last week or two of August 2024.

Anyway, this got me thinking that marital bliss might not be on the menu for Jack right now, so I did a quick search, and a RLM Reddit thread pops up from two months ago discussing his five years of sobriety... wherein some posters give their condolences about his divorce. I don't see it mentioned anywhere else, so maybe he cries about it in a Second Wind video or on X. I'm not going to sift through any of that crap to find out.

Regardless, what did his wife and kids (whom I'm guessing are teenagers now) do/say to him that would cause him to erase their existence from his body art? I don't care to find out.

Kudos on the five years of sobriety, though, AIDS Mobester!
 
one of the better BoTW they have done recently. didnt measure up to some of the older classics, but compared to the last few it was good. i hope they eventually watch all donald farmer movies, inlcuding the ones they skipped.

I misspoke; I meant to say you can only watch a movie for the first time once, and thus you can't say for sure how you would have experienced it that first time without spoilers if you did get spoiled, or vice versa. While my personal preference is to try and avoid them to preserve an experience I can't get a second time, I do think some people get way too worked up over them and should calm down. My bad.

That said, knowing the plot does help you appreciate the story more when you revisit it, I think. Classic example: I saw Fight Club when I was a teenager, and I didn't know the twist at the time (I wasn't really online a lot, or at least not discussing movies much). Revisiting it later and already knowing about how the narrator and Tyler Durden are the same person (whoops spoilers), it was fun to recontextualize the entire movie and see all the clues that led up to the big reveal, as well as constantly thinking about how the scenes with Tyler in them were actually playing out. I'll probably do the same with Strange Darling.

I watched Fight Club like twenty years late and did not enjoy it at all. Though of course, I had it spoiled at some point, but didn't care at the time because it didn't sound like my kind of thing. It turned out to be a really immature movie full of the kind of lifestyle logic you come up with as a teenager. The twist might have been neat if I didn't know about it beforehand, but I'm not sure I would have ever enjoyed the movie past the age of 12.

Movies (and shows, and games) that hinge heavily on a big twist are the only ones where I'll chimp out over spoilers. They're almost entirely mysteries. There are some really great works I've appreciated that could be completely ruined with about one sentence. The Zero Escape games (well, visual novels) come to mind. You can't run through those twice. And like, the show Monk, which was eight seasons, had a whole buildup to the reveal of who killed Monk's wife, and having that spoiled takes a lot of suspense out of the overarching plot of the show. So I'll spoil it for you right now if you don't care:
They alluded to the kindly police captain, Captain Stottlemeyer, being the one who secretly killed his wife, which also goes nicely with how he was played by the same actor as Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. Turns out, nope, it wasn't him. It was some literally who they introduced in the last episode. What a letdown.

i agree, fight club was very disappointing to watch after hearing so much good about it. in my edgy teenager days when i was 15 i might have loved it, but as an adult it was pretty meh.

agreed. i hate people who chimp out about spoilers, but when it comes to mysteries or who done its, it is valid. i dont know if i would say it ruins the entire movie, but i watched quite a few agatha christie based movies and i think a spoiler would have made them less enjoyable. and yes, once you have seen those movies, they lose a bit of enjoyment on subsequent rematches unlike a non mystery movie such as empire strikes back.
