Good job, RLM!

I just checked 1337x.to and there's a 11GB BR rip with plenty of seeds. Isn't it wonderful how we can forget about old DVDs and VHS tapes and watch those high quality new transfers?

I only wish EVEN MORE forgotten movies would get this kind of treatment. I saw an old action movie called Nasty Hero a few days ago and while it was a lot of fun, I couldn't fully enjoy it as it's a VHS rip. It's a TV movie and I don't think it had any official releases.

While I tend to try to watch stuff in the highest-possible quality, to see something rare I will happily take a VHS-rip or a dupey 16mm print telecine over not seeing it, and the quality has to be on the level of a shitty cam capture for it to impact my enjoyment of the movie itself.

I'd rather see something in poor quality than never see it at all.

I'm not so sure the absence of a 4k restoration is what's holding this film back:
Well, did you watch it? It's surprisingly good for a low budget TV movie. It would be a lot more enjoyable with picture quality like the screenshot below.

Star Trek directly inspired scientists and inventors.
The handheld cell phone, for example, was based on the Star Trek communicator, according to the people who invented it.
What have African children given to the world that's anywhere close to that?
Clearly Star Trek is more important.

But what about watching it on your fucking phone?
 
The fact that they've known for years beardfat is a negative to their channel but still include him means they're genuine friends which is baffling.
There's literally BotW episodes where they cut his audio out mid-sentence....
Which episode is that? That sounds hilarious.

I've always got the feeling that Josh is Jay's friend and everyone else puts up with him.

Tbh only recently has Josh kind of grated on me, and it's cause my friend pointed out he does the Valley girl thing with his voice where he inflects to make things sound like a questionnn?. It makes him feel out of place in this group of midwestern drunks, and especially before he grew the beard he looked like just another random nerd with a bad hairline.
He has very similar tastes and mannerisms to Jay which is why I think they get paired up so often. Jay is very good at being a straightman to Rich and Mike but as soon as he has to actually act in a skit he comes off incredibly condescending. Maybe it's his voice idk.
 
I don't mind Josh 1 that much. If you want to shit on him some more, let me give you some fuel. In one of the oldest BOTWs there's a moment where he gets VISIBLY angry at Rich who's sitting next to him. I'm sure somebody knows what I'm talking about. It definitely looks like something they'd cut, even if it's really brief.

Americans do this all the time. I've been noticing this for a while now. They also use question marks in sentences that aren't questions.

There’s a few moments where he gets, or seems to get, unnecessarily mad.

Like when he threw Rich’s Tums because he was annoyed at the bit. Almost ruined a perfectly good Tums festival.
He doesn’t like it when they make jokes that halt or pause discussion.
 
There's definitely tension between Rich and Josh. Like in Dr Butcher MD (which is awesome btw, they can suck dick. They didn't even go over some of the finer details like recycled shots and even sets from Zombi 2) where Josh is getting frustrated at delicious Shaq meat and Rich has to tell him no one fucking cares about him talking about the movie. Rich also takes a jab at Josh in one episode where Mike asks something like "Who did that? Was it Josh?" and Rich answers "I don't hear someone laboriously explaining the plot so it probably wasn't Josh."
Which episode is that? That sounds hilarious.

Oh I can't recall a specific episode. It's noticable though. Josh will be talking aloud to no one and his mic gets muted for someone else or they cut to a clip.
