I sincerely like Space Cop (and even more with the commentary) but it's exactly what I was expecting: Mike and Rich dicking around and dumb jokes.

Well I've been debating about picking up a copy but now I'm sold!

It does seem though that space cop and past cop adventures would be more fitting as a running series of youtube shorts.

Anyone else has Rich, Mike and Jay as the order they prefer the main 3? I find Rich is funniest, then Mike second since sometimes his jokes fell flat in my opinion and then Jay because despite having funny moments i more often disagree with him strongly (1 example among others is he really didn't like Joker and it seems he walked in wanting to hate it because of what other folks the director did and I personally think it was a fantastic film)

To me, they are like Kirk, Spock, and McCoy...it just doesn't feel right if all three of them aren't there.

Rich is this wonderful combination of lovable loser and hilarious snarky nerd. They say every time Rich laughs, an angel gets its wings. He is just a delightful ray of sunshine, even when he's being snarky.

Mike is legitimately the funniest human being I have ever seen. That doesn't mean he has the best jokes. I just mean his essence, who he is as a person is nothing short of pure hilarity. His dry delivery and level of "I don't give a fuck what people think" makes just a living source of laughter for me. I could never be in the same room as him because I'd just be laughing the whole time. He's also like a movie savant that points out issues and makes observations I never would have thought of, but I would never expect it to come from someone that looks and acts like him.

Jay, while I don't always agree with him (which in of itself is isn't an issue...I don't need everyone to agree with me) is the perfect level headed straight man to ground everything and react to the other two.

Everyone else they have on...they're okay (I think Culkin fits in with them the best actually) but those three together just have the perfect chemistry. My favorite Half in the Bag was actually the Ghostbusters 2016 review. It had everything! Great observations, a thrashing of the movie, funny comments, and of course, Mike getting drunk. It was perfect.

Now, I haven't seen enough BotW but I think this is the reason why I don't like episodes with the Canadians. They always come as a pair and the panel is always four, which means one of the main three will be forced to sit out (behind-the-camera obviously doesn't count).

Not necessarily true, Colin's gone solo a couple times.

Hey everyone. Heads up we've got two Best of the Worst episodes coming real soon. A wheel episode and of course the Halloween episode. They're both loooooooong episodes too.​
 
Please give us what we want, wheel.

For me, it's Mike > Rich > Jay.

That said, all three of them are needed to make RLM what it is. Mike's sense of humor is very similar to mine (so I tend to laugh at his jokes the most), Rich is pretty much one of the most endearing people to ever grace the internet, and Jay is the "straight man" that (I think) is very much needed in a piece of entertainment that involves comedy and humor. Plus, Jay is the biggest movie buff of the bunch.

These guys work so insanely well together that it feels a little disingenuous for me to "rank" them, really.
