For some reason, I'm reminded of that guy who flashed a "slutwalk" in Brazil.

That was a fun episode.

I saw UHF once as a kid, I can't remember what channel it was but them mentioning Comedy Central leads me to believe it was probably that, I was already a fan of Weird Al so of course the idea of him starring in a movie was right up my alley.

Unfortunately it's one of those movies I've yet to get around to revisiting, the main thing I remember was the "drink from the fire hose" scene.

I love UHF. I'm a big Weird Al fan so watching him star in a movie was always a dream come true to me. The movie parodies are excellent and I love the borderline dark humor like Raul tossing dogs out the window and the entire Emo Phillips scene. It's a movie I revisit every so often.

Unfortunately I seem to be the only person within my social group to really like it. Even my friends who share my sense of humor aren't much more than amused by it. No joke, I've had an easier time setting together screenings of Freddy Got Fingered and got much more laughter out of people than I have UHF.

Please forward your friends' addresses to the nearest robot facility and we will see about getting that straightened out right away.
 
I would like them to keep hitting the 80's to early 90's comedy Re:views because it brings back watching them for the first time on weekend movie TV matinees. Elvira would be nice to see and even Wayne's World is probably now an oldie classic. Or maybe go with So I Married An Axe Murderer since it also has Michael Richards.

Josh not liking Seinfeld seems pretty apt for everything Josh is.
 
Just got around to watching the UHF Re:View. Gotta say, people rag on Josh a lot and I'm guilty of skipping a bunch of the episodes with him in it but he totally nails it in this one. He works a lot better just spouting interesting factoids and giving exposition than he does when he's being an unfunny tryhard.

Wonder if they'll do Bill and Ted movies, since a late sequel is coming out?
 
Every single auxiliary member of RLM is annoying on twitter. Josh and Jack (who has now spent days liking everything Movie Bob tweets) get the most attention but the Canadians are annoying too.

Jim is currently being praised on resetera for this

If he tweeted in favor of Tucker Carlson he would have thousands unfollowing him and someone would probably try to get him fired off his job, but he's acting like a hero for losing 4 followers? It just seem removed from reality at best, even if you agree with his gist.

In contrast, RLM seem to almost have a company policy to not engage on social media. Mike could easily be using the official company twitter to trash Trump all day, since so many others seem to, so that's something.

But it makes me wonder if and how much they do discuss political stuff off camera, and if due to more and more personalities feeling the need to signal where they stand, RLM will break that policy eventually.

Colin doesn't seem to say much, politically.
 
I like Jim, and that's a shame. It's not even being liberal it's just the need for the smug tweeting, I thought he was more mellow than that.

Anyone who complains or brags about their number of twitter followers is a useless cunt.

Regardless of what they personally believe, I don't think they'll ever comment on politics directly via twitter of all things. They seem to view social media politics very cynically. Remember these are the same people who created Nerd Crew.
