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."

Ah, the "no one gives a shit" bit during the Dr. Butcher episode was so fucking good. Obvious tension there, and they even rubbed it in Josh's face a couple episodes later with Rich wearing a "Juicy Shaq Meat" t-shirt during the intro. Admittedly Josh's response to that (throwing the related video off a cliff without saying a word) was funny, but I suspect he didn't write that skit.

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.

He was especially annoying in the episode where he tried to defend/praise Turtle Dreams, but eventually had to admit it was utter garbage "art" that ultimately didn't say anything and was just Avant Garde trash. I don't know that they actually cut his mic in that episode, but they talked over him a lot as he offered up a defense.

That BOTW when everyone pushed Jay into reviewing "California Big Hunks" because of his "obvious" proclivities was fucking great.

I thought of that one but I know it's relatively later because it was a blank spine episode so I was pretty sure that was after the gay wedding arc.

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.

I don't necessarily mind Josh either. Sure, he has some annoying quirks, but they're no worse than those of any of the other supporting characters -- like Tim who gets sloppy drunk and talks over the others all the time, or Jack who gets performatively offended by things, or the Canadian who's so boring that I can't even bother to remember his name. But they're all entertaining enough that I enjoy watching them for their positive qualities and am willing to overlook the negatives.

I think that the format of re:View makes it less forgiving and harder to do well than something like Best of the Worst. I think there was one where Rich even articulated that -- he said that he was all prepared for a BotW where he could just clown around, but when Mike told him it was a re:View, he got all nervous because he had to actually be interesting and make reasonably cognizant points. It's not easy to balance being insightful with being entertaining.

That's why I think that Rich Evans is such a gem. He's not here to pontificate about what he learned in film school and to try to prove that he's the smartest guy in the room. He's just a guy who likes movies and is happy to just hang out and let his long-time friend make fun of him, and that's fun to watch.

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)

Only Jay, and possibly Josh, would've been able to recognize those shots. And Jay wasn't on the panel. So that just leaves Josh, and I could see him being a big enough faggot to miss it. Do you think the other retards have seen Zombie? I doubt it.
 
I still hate Max Landis and Patton the most.

Max was just insufferable and I had no expectations because I didn't know this fag, but Patton was a letdown when I saw him show up I was excited. "Oh this'll be good." But by the time "I always wanted to be dead" rolled around it was clear this was not going to be the fun guest I'd expected.

Patton's episode suffered from being dreary on general

Who Killed Captain Alex is more enjoyable than anything a smartphone could ever provide, and it was made by someone who used to be an African child

Wonder if it broke even? See Marvel, you don't need to spend $300 million per movie, you hack fucks. See how it can be done.
