So basically, bitch got mad that they made fun of her awful movie
Instead of using this as a way to get popular and get some of that Tommy Wisseau/Neil Breen money, she flagged her ticket to fame.
Good job.

Which is weird because she thanked them for the video on Twitter. Maybe she finally watched it and was like "FUCK THAT" and carpet bombed them with DMCAs.

I think this is the danger of reviewing recent stuff. Especially these delusional people that think they're artistic geniuses.

I thought the same thing as Jack when he asked if they had already reviewed Ice Cream Man before. I remember some sort of YouTube review of it somewhere but I can't place it all.

Also, isn't this like the second time they pulled a switcharoo on a movie in the last half year? I'd rather them just pick three moviea and go with that if they're just going to take out the random element of it, even if it gives us a bunch of stinky titles more times than not.

I'm pretty sure they have always done this and just were not open about it. IIRC they've mentioned watching some videos that disappeared off the wheel (I want to say Farm Safety Family Style?) that weren't that good.

I think it has to do with the notorious lost episode where they watched 3 movies, recorded the whole thing only to realize they had nothing to say and it was a boring piece of shit. I imagine they have always thrown stuff out if they couldn't find anything to say about it within 20 minutes of watching and are just now being more open about it.

I think my favorite lost video was Octopuff in Kumquat.

I agree, I don't mind that they didn't review it, and loved how they incorporated it into episode anyway. It gave those parts of the episode an eerie, 'noodle incident' quality.

This is reasonable, but this last episode was kind of boring anyway besides The Suckling and they still found an hour and fifteen minutes to talk about Corbin Bernsen overacting.

 

[mandatorylurk]

I think Jack's issues with having to talk about subtext and themes comes from doing his Escapist podcast. The one episode I skimmed through when MovieBlob was still part of it showed Jack trying to be this facilitator and everyman for the audience while the british guy was the intellectual and Blob was just this add-on who couldn't help get political or sarcastic to carve his own identity on the show.

When Jack goes back to BOTW, now everyone's the everyman but Jay usually works as the moderator. Jack would be the third "funnyman" at best, so he tries to pivot to be the intellectual at the table.

 

[Mulva69]

Everyone's favorite angel-voiced manchild did a little cameo in Psycho Goreman!

edit: IMDB doesn't list it but Wikipedia does. If it ain't him then it's a pretty sweet homage at least.
editedit: Ok rewatched the credits it's him

Never take your own work too seriously.

And it's a black woman, who these days are made to feel like the world literally revolves around them.

I can very easily see a black woman in Current Year getting pissy about a group of white guys making fun of her movie.

I was googling around to see if anywhere else had a copy of the review and noticed a little DMCA notice on the bottom of the results.

Though this notice predates this drama, she's definitely familiar with using DMCA system.

If completely unfamiliar with commas, and what kind of work she has produced.


Edit: I did a bit more digging and reddit can't fucking archive, but an interesting detail did emerge.

Deuandra repping a ONErpm on twitter.

The reddit comment thread claims this is a different ONErpm than the one copystriked RLM, but it can hard to tell when a working archive is not forthcoming for that tweet.

http://web.archive.org/web/20210117011200/https://twitter.com/deuandra/status/221188095352111104

That's the closest I got, Google cache expired and searching for the URL itself on google returns zero results. Allegedly this tweet was from 2012 so the fact it avoided any archive on wayback is telling of the reach that twitter account has.

Oh and since people are asking about a copy of Best of the Worst: Diamond Cobra vs. The White Fox, reddit did actually provide a backup though the mods removed links to archive leaving only this magnet URL for the reupload behind:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:4795102b94b5190c30bada9a42694069ed6441d1

I've confirmed it is not a fucked up copy, though it isn't quite HTML5 video compatible in the current state (the OPUS audio is the primary issue).

Edit again: Found this on Reddit as well, on Datahoarders:

https://archive.org/details/best-of-the-worst-diamond-cobra-vs-the-white-fox

FURTHER EDIT:
Upon additional poking and prodding, I think I found the smoking gun which definitively links Deaundra T Brown to making the original copystrike of her own volition, NOT an automated action taken by her rightsholding/monetization company.

Note how it says "alternatively", in other words the default behavior is for Onerpm to claim your videos containing the content for monetization, NOT to copystrike...unless the user requests it, as clearly occurred. They put their company name on the strike, and down it went.

Of course her connection to the original strike was strongly implied when she directly struck the reupload, but the original video clearly was the one she cared about, and thus the one she hid behind a different company to carry out.

I share my thoughts with Mike on Psycho Goreman. It was okay but the girl was very annoying to me. I think what could have fixed it is if the girl received some kind of comeuppance.

Surprised by how much they liked Promising Young Woman aka "smash the patriarchy" the movie.

They even mention it beforehand, how the movie was made to surpass critique and be lauded with empty praise. "MeN aRe TrAsH™"!

 

[Chaos Theorist]

When future generations sift through the smoldering rubble of postmodern America, they would do well to locate a hard drive with RedLetterMedia content on it. They could study Mike and Jay and, with that thin slice of information, fully understand what it is that killed western civilization.

Those two are bitter, cynical nihilists. They have devoted their lives, the prime years of productivity, to pithily lampooning cultural ephemera and implying "we could do better than these idiot filmmakers, but we're too cool to actually try."

They are every strain of societal AIDS melded together into a super AIDS of cultural death...

Well into middle age, they're still obsessively analyzing adventure stories for children. They're childless, unmarried, stubbornly avoiding an actual profession, opting instead to beg for Patreon donations. They are subsisting on the patronage of even more embittered, more lonely, more cynical losers who need virtual friends to swim in their vast Petri dish of misery with them.

Look in their fucking eyes, man. It's a joyless, pointless existence they're living.

They are so afraid of sincerity or honest artistic effort that they'll leave behind hours of footage of them chuckling about Tommy Wiseau. They are artistic cowards and abject failures in every respect.

Each time you catch a glimpse of them, you're reminded that we peaked as a civilization a long time ago. We're done creating. We're done feeling real emotions. All we can do now is analyze, criticize, and ironically pick through the dessicated corpse of our once great nation.

I hope on the day that footage is uncovered by future archaeologists, they resolve to never repeat the mistakes we made.
