Wait hold the phone.....in the literal last minute Mike offered a "it was not quite as fucking stupid as I thought it would be" take based on how unfathomably fucking stupid some shit from discovery was.
At least he got some decent pushback from Rich. Mike's thing about there not being a "yum yum" line falls flat when they showcase the awful dialogue that could match such a dumb line perfectly. And because he wasn't really thinking when he said it and Rich is pushing back enough, he just said fuck it and wanted to smash the plate.

I think that's the way to deal with Mike's ho-hum attitude.
 
I love Best of the Worst, but I can't watch them anymore. It is not just the Acolyte stuff but holy shit Half in the Bag is

"A MARVEL MOVIE CAME OUT, Its a shame that they are such slop"
"Oh here is Horror Movie with no Budget #1748740780470847048407 with writing as shitty as Marvel Slop but we like it because Its a HORROR MOVIE."
Even the magic is mostly gone from BOTW.
It's been going on for more than a decade, there's only so many funny bad movies out there and when they find a new one the impact of "this movie is bad" is kinda soured by repetition and comparing it to previous gems like the Breen films.

Wheel is more misses than hits and black spine is usually abysmal

That about covers it.
But Jay did mention the Frankie Freako movie, so I was reminded that I still need to watch it.
I remember seeing Eraserhead at a midnight showing when I was in high school; there's no way that I, as an adult, would have the patience for it.
 
While I get some ass chewing loudly with their mouth open in a quiet movie is irritating, but at the same time I can't help but think Mike and Jay might just be jaded towards movie theaters in general and are looking for something to complain about.
I think it's also because they're just getting old. Jay is the youngest at 44 with Mike and Rich 46 and 47 respectively. And middle age is usually when people start having more sensitivity to things like noise, in particular background noise due to the auditory cortex being overwhelmed. That's not to say everyone has those issues either at that age, but the probability does increase, especially if there is a genetic factor.

examples?
 
I'm still just baffled that they tried to make Space Hitler a good guy. I suspect Mike's thoughts are right, that the actress is super popular and people thought the character was fun, and then Kurtsman (the retard that he is) had a light-bulb moment.

Nothing else surprises me though. Raping Star Trek's corpse to try and make a wacky band of misfits save the universe just seems like the type of dogshit nutrek would devolve into after what they tried with picard's new crew and then the recent comedy crap.

Remember this all was conceptualised and executed at the nadir of the "girlboss" era in media, and furthermore coincided with the unfathomably fucking cringe slop culture fad of obsessing over the relationships of black women and their mothers or mother figures (as seen in lovecraft country and a bunch of other woke media shit at the time) likely because a critical mass of the shaniqua consultancy demographic were fixated on vicariously dramatizing their boring childhoods, and with kurtzman being the absolute snivelling hack that he is meant he had zero issue signing off on the concept despite it literally being "woke main character becomes besties with space hitler after its explicitly shown she is a genocidal monster and entirely unrepentant" because he saw it as a chance for the "edgy antihero" horseshit he is obsessed with.
 
Adding "rag-tag band of wacky antiheroes" to my "Tropes i wish would die" list right underneath multiverses.

There's a number of amoral actions that can be easily justified for an audience:

Murder? Well, the antihero is killing someone even worse than him, so that's good!

Theft? Our band of wackos are stealing from the evil, faceless billionaires! That's good!

Reminds me of the concept of Safe Edgy, where you can pretend to be pushing boundaries but you really aren't. (Wait wait wait... Are you meaning to tell me your flick's main theme is that christians are evil!? Omg!!!) Safe Ambiguity is basically just good guys + swearing.

Rachel Garrett has the line "Chaos is my friend with benefits, so let's get messy" which is arguably even worse.

Lots of weak male Jews have self loathing from hell, so they associate with black women that also do it. Not that hard to connect why they are so damned insistent on having black/brown girlbosses run everything.

Period. Most Orthodox Jew men and women hate those types as much as whites hate their shitlibs too. When it down to it they really want their Hitler types to kill their own types and be made into a form of hero.
 
Latest vid felt like watching a funeral, poor Mike hesitating to accept Star Trek ain't coming back. He seems to be still at the bargaining stage with that last spiel about "Maybe it can come back later...! Maybe these people will be fired and they'll bring back talented workers...!"
