This entire movie felt like a fever dream.

I was seriously getting flashbacks to The Jar episode.

It looks like they weren't really drinking during the movie or the conversation and went Rich Evans straight edge, Jay looks like he had a coke and some craft beer and that's about it.

I've quietly suspected that since the 2018 Halloween episode and that Epic Mike Stoklasa Is Drunk video I posted back that they may have gotten together and made some kind of rule about how much everyone is allowed to drink and banned liquor from the set. Mac was clearly having a small glass of some kind of liquor during the Christmas episode and last Halloween episode I swear Mike had like one beer during the Halloween episode. Either that or maybe someone actually is having health problems and they all agreed to stop drinking openly on set out of solidarity.
 
Favorite spotlight episode is Suburban Sasquatch. I saw it before they did their video on it when it was called Rapesquatch and Imockery showed on their MST3K-like streaming show that lasted 10-20 episodes.





If you ever set a movie on a loop as you sleep I highly recommend you do that with Things. Dream-like zero budget trash.

I heard about Suburban Sasquatch from Joel McHale on The Soup.
 
I hope they up the frequency of the BoTW 'Spotlight' episodes. They all seem to have a more upbeat, humorous energy when they know the movie is utter shit, but still fun enough to be engaged to make fun of it. The best one was Suburban Sasquatch, but this was a good one too.

I fucking love the spotlight series, they're my favorite RLM videos for the reason you stated. There's nothing better than the RLM crew watching a movie that's genuinely so bad it's good. I love regular Best of the Worst but sometimes it's not as funny when you can tell they're struggling to even find things to joke about because the movie was so boring.

My favorite is Last Vampire On Earth, probably because I had front row seats to the Twilight Spergery Craze *shudders*

Same! I've rewatched it like 10 times and it still makes me laugh.
 
I'll take Jack's manic energy over Josh's "I'm trying to have an honest discussion here" snooze-ville shit. Josh is a good foil in episodes that include someone whos being extra loud or drunk but in this particular episode I think Jack's energy was needed more then Josh's analysis.

I find Josh more likable because he doesn't try so often to be funny like Jack. Josh knows his exploitation/horror shit as well which earns him some respect from me. I've said it before but I've known people like Josh too.
 
Just FYI their Patreon did announce Jack is going to be on an upcoming episode so they're not free of him just yet.
 
The autism over "ughhhh libtard Jack is going to backstab" is the most cringiest shit.

Except for Mack's handler, sorta Max and whoever that blah rando Jay sucked off on re:view, everyones been pretty fine and it's good that there's a rotating cast because of diverse opinions and personalities because holy shit can the same thing every day be boring.

Plus if we're gonna fan theory over real people, wouldn't we WANT more episodes with irregular guests to stave off the og crew burning out on each other and ending everything early?

Any non regular is gonna be out of beat, which seems awkward to us as viewers, but to them its just getting to hang with different people.

Nah, man, our husbandos aren't allowed to have friends. Those friends aren't us and they also have different senses of humor/politics/names than us and it makes it hard for me to project myself onto them. Mike, Jay, and Rich would be way better off if it were me they were hanging with. That's why a giant,#ChangetheChannel-esque schism is coming and why Mike is about to kill himself. #notprojecting

At least, according to some of the exceptional individuals in this thread.
 
I have to point out Dolittle looks a lot closer to the books

I'm cautiously optimistic about Doolittle although I am bitterly disappointed Donald Pleasence never played him.

And I can't wait for the scene where they dye an African prince white. That shit was too racist for the first film in 1967.

I completely forgot that Tron even existed. Haven't seen the re:View yet, but I thought they were both fine movies, if a bit bland and boring despite amazing visuals. I still remember being somewhat impressed by the young Jeff Bridges graphics in Legacy. It looked like a rubber mask, but still.

Also, Tron 2.0 was a really solid game made by Monolith (you know, AvP2, NOLF, F.E.A.R.). It even had the light cycle.
 
I can't hate Tron but I can't love it either. I respect the visual achievements of the original and the soundtrack of the second but that's about it. The stories were never great. The original felt like it was made for every basement dwelling Commodore 64 owner and no one else. Like Jay mentioned, none of the "normal" people would have been familiar with the terminology and not much of it is really explained. That just leaves beind the "ooh and ahh" factor of backlit animation and janky looking costumes/sets. I do however know a couple die hard Tron fans and they are some of the most insufferable assholes I've never met. They've also replaced any unique personality traits with loving the 80s and gatekeeping everything so that's to be expected. Surprised they didn't have Josh on this one. For some reason I'd peg him as a Tron fan over Jack, but Jack and Jay's discussion was really good. I like how Jay will almost always mention soundtrack but Mike/Rich discussions rarely do.
