Did Mack shit this one up or is it OK? I turned off that re: view at his lol random title theme.


I'd say he's half colonel parker and half AA sponsor.

Did you know that each of the ghosts have names? Rich knows.

The speed and relative ease that he rattles them off still impresses me. It's like he had that shit qued up in the off chance someone might ask.

And for those who don't get what I'm talking about, Max Landis has a history of blowing up at anyone who brings the subject up.

It honestly caught me off guard them being that blatant about it and that all of them joined in too was great.
 
Jay and Mack are the same age. Mack looks a hell of a lot worse.

I'd be happy if we never saw Mack with them again. The cameo in the Landis episode was novel and I'd say most people knew what a train wreck his teens and 20's were. Now he's getting annoying and other than being himself (washed up child actor) he doesn't really bring any amazing comedy or commentary.

I thought Len Kachinsky was quite funny and good humoured about comments about his films. A special guest can really add something to an episode, sparingly though.
 
Checked reddit since they can never make up their mind about loving or hating Mack eps. On the main episode the Mack hate finally won over the Mack love. The general consensus was that Mack is ok in small doses, but he has over stayed his welcome. Then on the intern video the Mack love won over and everyone is slamming people who were hating him last ep. They're even saying it's one of the funniest things they've ever done. Shit is bipolar. I thought this intern video wasn't that funny, it's just more "wacky Mack" shtick and it never feels as genuine as they want it to be. Also it's just uncomfortable how much he seems to idolize RLM. The intern vid was full of call backs like survivng edged weapons, dick the birthday boy, chunky chicken, and pizza rolls. Someone brought up a good point about feeling like Mack is popping up everywhere online in an orchestrated relevancy campaign and that is adding to Mack fatigue. I didn't even know he was in the viral glitter bomb porch pirate video making the rounds a while ago. I brought up before how he got on stage with Lizzo and that clip went viral and it was just a tie in to her being on the podcast, all totally orchestrated. But Lizzo is another one of those people with someone pulling strings behind the scenes to get her constant publicity over nothing. It's supposed to come off as genuine when it's actually extremely calculated, which rubs people who are wise to that the wrong way.

I don't believe Mack is a shitty person or not nice, he's probably a good enough dude. But you can't deny that he or someone pulling the strings behind him has a calculated plan for his starpower. Mack's end game seems like he wants to settle into a comfortable life as an internet personality and never be Hollywood ever again. And that's perfectly fine. But he's forcing it by shmoozing his way into other channels and running an unfunny website. He should drop the entire theme of his "comedy" website and just stick to a podcast talking to other child stars or something else he can give a unique perspective on.

I wonder if he even brought his own crew or gear for his intern video shoot or if he just batted his eyes at Mike and got him to direct and shoot it with his gear. Someone on Culk's team editited it so it's possible he did the right thing and put the work in on his own.

Fett was oddly spicy for the Sarlaac too. That's why almost no EU media has him actually dying in Jedi. I really doubt Disney is planning on leaving him dead. Fett returning in Jedi only to be killed by a random slapstick accident was as rage inducing at the time as Captain Phasma coming back for a single scene of TlJ to fall down a fiery shaft.

I would be so interesting to briefly go back in time to watch neolithic Star Wars nerds complain about Return of the Jedi, knowing that movie is sunshine, roses, and perfection compared with what was to come.

If you can figure out how to do so you can search Google's Usenet archive for it. Even more I 'm sure the fanlore wiki has articles on ancient zines.

I have a cousin who has an old videotape he recorded off air of the Star Wars Holiday Special; it might be a Betamax. Should I be afraid for his life from Rat assassins?
