I think this one of the funniest intros I've seen, when Mike dejectedly pulls that gun a second time I lost it.

I thought the trailer for WW was a larf but I'd never have watched it as I can't stand horror movies but I always enjoys hearing them discuss these movies.
 
The premise of WW could have been excellent if executed properly so it's a shame it wasn't. The idea of a character in an extremely absurd situation like being attacked by animatronics but so completely jaded they don't give a single fuck could make for fantastic B-Movie comedy schlock ala Army of Darkness. It's a very narrow line to successfully skirt though and you can very easily end up ruining the entire thing with an unlikable lead and endless bad Whedonesque quips.
Maybe that was part of why I enjoyed it. Again, it wasn't great, but having a main character not delivering the same old snarky Whedonisms that have become far too prevalent these days was a point in its favor. I could also have low standards, I won't rule that out.
 
The Rockafire Explosion documentary they talk about is great and worth watching not just for the info it has about Showbiz Pizza itself, but that it's also a great unintentional snapshot of the culture of 2006 and 2007 or at least the culture of manchildren back then.

There's also a part showcasing the warehouse of the guy that built the animatronics where a lot of them have been left to sit and rot, which he even admits is "spooky" and I wonder if that right there was what was the inspiration for Five Nights At Freddy's.

Aaron Fechter is legitimately crazy. After watching that documentary not long after it came out me and a buddy decided to request him on facebook with our fake anime PFP having profiles and much to our surprise he almost immediately accepted. It was full of unhinged rants about chemtrails and racist shit. I think at the time he was charging for behind the scenes tours of his warehouse. This was before his dumb ass blew up said warehouse tinkering around with "experemental fuels". Dude with worth a deep dive if you're bored.

That sounds incredibly fucking based.

He comes off as likable in the documentary, but definitely crazy, the reverence he has for his characters, like he really believed they could have been or still could be as big as Disney characters, the weirdness of that guy is apparent from the very first scene in the documentary.

Of all people, an autistic animatronic collector being a turbo racist makes complete sense. Think of how much damage niglets have inflicted at your average Chuck-e-Cheese
 
I hope the talk about the leaked Justice League 2 & 3 scripts in a future video.
 
I don't know why they would. The leaks are super old, and the had plenty of time to talk about them on the Commentary Track.

I would be shocked, just SHOCKED, if they revisited Justice League after how much time and effort they already gave to the theatrical cut.
Could bring it up if they end up watching the Snyder Cut. Wouldn’t blame them if they did skip it, but that would be a time to do it.
 
My expectations are subverted!

Was disappointed it was only 10 minutes and not some long mega special, but that was a perfect little way to celebrate.

I mean the deepest lore of revealing the Mike and Jay of Half in The Bag are the same Mike and Jay of Best of The Worst was brilliant.

And I like the way it ties all of RLM history together, from the Star Wars Plinkett reviews, to Half In The Bag, to Best of The Worst.
