Nice to know Mike cleaned all that horrible Romulan food paste out of the Crystal Skull so he could fill it with delicious wate- I mean Vodka.

Surprised they gave Escape Room a pass, or even a mention, most of what I had heard was that is was bottom of the barrel slasher tripe.
 
I’m going to second Jay’s recommendation of Dolemite is My Name. It’s very funny and it’s great to see Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes turning in great performances for a change. I’m actually now cautiously optimistic about the Coming to America sequel.
 
I love the joy in Mike's face every time he comes up with an off the cuff joke. Like a child on Christmas. Seems like they didn't find anything god awful so far. Glad Bill and Ted 3 is on their radar, I'm really pulling for that one. They've been trying to get this movie made for years now, so it's like the reverse of all the Hollywood remakes now. Where they dig up a franchise and beat it to death. In this case the writers were the ones knocking on doors trying to get it made. That alone says it probably has less interference and will be a good story worth telling. At least I hope. It really has potential if Keanu and Alex can slide back into their old personas and not stick out like "hello fellow kids".

I actually watched "Esacpe Room" based on this RLM.
I actually enjoyed it. Easy, straightforward, kinda stupid. Great for killing a Sat night while drinking beer.
I've had enough of arty-farty films.

The meme strength of this episode was enormous - Mike saying "Ok, Boomer" and "How OLD ARE THESE GUYS?!" plus MANY others.
Rich editing in a picture of the Monkees, when Mike was referencing The Beatles. Hilarious.

I didn't appreciate Jay (and I guess, Mike) wanting to deep throat the memory of Rudy Ray Moore. Jay wants the BBC so badly.

(parallel note: wasn't there objective proof of the CIA funding blackspoitation films?)

Patton Oswalt made a comment that probably describes this. Paraphrasing, but "If you're an old guy trying to connect with today's audiences, don't."

That reminds me of another Patton Oswalt comment: "If you want to murder your wife and get away with, make it look like an overdose."
wait a minute...

They're trying to keep it fresh since it's obvious that they're starting to burn out. BOTW seems to have a drop in quality, HITB is an endangered species with how rarely we get one and they've turned re:view into Jay and Josh talking about weird shit.

I've noticed that too. It's been happening gradually but It's become especially obvious this last year. I'm afraid the lightning in a bottle that was RedLetterMedia might be beginning to fade - but I'm not really sure why. I guess that's the nature of lightning in a bottle, its an inexplicable, anomolous phenomenon.

That being said, I always thought that they should produce more commentary tracks. I think the chemistry that exists between Mike, Rich, and Jay will always exist and it would be perfect if they did commentary for a bunch Star Trek episodes. Mike is more obsessed with Star Trek than a 'tistic to trains, Rich is generally into Sci-Fi, and Jay is completely oblvious to this kind of shit. It just makes so much sense to me. I don't know, just an idea.
 
Put on Yesterday in the background. I'm not even sure I'd recommend this movie to a die hard Beatles fan. I'm still wondering where my 2 hours went because you could condense this plot into a 45 minute TV episode and lose nothing. It touched on some ideas without ever making any of them the main plot. Like there were some moments where there's some commentary about how manufactured music is now because they're shitting on Beatles album names and manufacturing him to be a mega star, but it's only barely a thing. I'd agree with Mike that I'd call it a love story more then anything. The whole arc is him giving up mega stardom to get with the girl that was his friend and fan since they were kids, but like I'm still not sure those 2 story lines (manufactured mega star + get the girl) really overlapped in any significant way. It was all very surface level and boring. And I guess Lennon is alive in this universe but just some random old man that makes drawings in a beach house. And there are other people like him who remember the Beatles but they're just happy the music exists again? I dunno, C-.

Meh. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I feel like the beginning of the Terminator: Dark Fate HitB shows there's still a lot of spark left in the bottle of Jay+Mike+Rich. It'll end when it ends, and then we can go back and find the turning point. I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with finding hints they're Jumping the Shark Exorcist.

What's weird is I was browsing imdb and I learned that the Pet Semetery remake was written by the guy who the other Stephen King adaption 1408, which was pretty great and this is his first King adaption since then, so it's surprising that it would suck.
 
I saw the "Pet Sematary" remake with a group of friends in the theater. They were stoned, and I was drunk. Genuinely one of the highlights of my whole year. It's a piece of shit with no redeeming value that is significantly less scary than your maiden aunt, to be sure, but it hit the atmosphere of an old-fashioned B-movie just right. By the end, the entire theater was audibly giggling. Not exactly the director's intention, I know, but I still had a blast.
 
Today is Mike's birthday

I love the choice of pictures Google gave me for his name. Young chad Mike, depressed alcoholic Mike, fuck-star-wars Mike and I think the one image on the bottom row was him talking about shitty horror movies Mike.
