The bus dropped them off at 1:00 in the morning because none of them wanted to be seen walking into the studio
Thanks, I'm laughing and crying imagining it
This needs a pin
Exactly
They also have fake names and are constantly being reproduced and cloned. Wow, that's just the best legal actions!
That tracks
The year is 2033. The news has played the 473rd consecutive "Geriatric 27: Oh Thank Heaven" trailer instead of the ongoing nuclear war over advertising rights. You try to go to sleep, but the incessant knocking of the door to door movie promoters keeps you awake until 2:00 am, when the repurposed air raid sirens blast out the same teaser soundbites that you've heard thousands of times by now, just like they do every hour. You shove your head into your pillow and finally manage to rest. The instant your eyes close, you receive crystal clear dreams of a 90-year-old man pretending to be stabbed in a fire. You decide to preorder 19 tickets for release day and dozens more for the following week. There is no escape.
The concept of super intrusive ads that can only be stopped by buying the product sounds so realistic the comment kinda stops being funny. We're lucky the tech is not there yet.
1984 levels of advertising right there.
@@lurgee1706 if the ads now dont stop when youve very obviously purchased something, whats to say that super intrusisve ads wouldnt stop in the future?
Bro your comment gave such a laughing fit I'm actually in tears
This had me rolling, I think the door to door movie promoters was my favorite part
Josh actually recreated the formula for any current movie franchise: Ignore the reviews and focus on marketing and ticket sales. Gotta add shareholder value!
That's what I was thinking when he said "oh I see how this game works" lol. Like no Josh, you see how the movie industry works currently lmao. IRL representation lol
24:10 "Okay I think I now understand how this game works" No I think you now understand how the actual film industry works
Yep. It's all maximum hype with the minimum amount of effort possible. Who cares what the movie is about, what the name is or anything else really.
Is there such a thing as TOO much shaky cam?
no ofc not
idk
Nope.
Nah
not for you
As someone who used to work at an office with exactly 4 toilets for 120 people, I can appreciate a hallway of toilets more than most.
Same😂
if josh was capable of starting an organ trafficking ring in a hospital sim, he definitely would start one
Stolen comment and a bot.
"2 Geriatric 2 Kissin." Nice. They don't have friends, they have family. This is the movie that an 85 year old Vin Diesel will make when he appears on the Hallmark channel.
This is just an average week of an executive at Hollywood
Especially Disney
@@AK-qh6lr And Warner Bros.
Yes
David Zaslav simulator

“Hey, bro, did you see Centennial 8 last night?”
“Yeah! Honestly, it’s gotta be the best heist movi-“
“Nono, the OTHER Centennial 8.”
“The medieval thriller?”
“No.”
“The medieval horror?”
“No.”
“The cyberpunk romance?”
“No!”
“Oh, the alien thriller?”
“Yeah!”
“Nope, haven’t seen it.”
GOATed comment. lol
😂 Mak kau hijau.
You wouldn't have to wait for the next one you'd have to find it
I read this in Josh's voice. XD Top tier comment right here
lmao
I just love how Geriatrics Huggin and Kissin's only buildup is the climax stunt, which is quite literally somebody jumpin and fallin over and over again. It has nothing to do with its title, it doesn't have music, it doesn't have any character development at all, and it still got some points. My life is now complete.
"A mockery of the movie industry"
Josh in tears: it's just what I was going for!
No better review than this!
Imagine being the writer: everyone around you gets cloned, and your boss just gives you piles upon piles of blank scripts for 12+ movies with the exact same name. Actually Illiterate is the most important person in this whole operation: $984 salary, 24 years of backbreaking constant scriptwriting for hundreds of cheap cashgrabs.
“Hey, this is Disney, we’ve got another Star Wars and we think you’d be great for it”
If the writer is also the producer and main actor, than it's just Steven Seagal...
Ms. Illiterate doesn't even know what a writers strike is. She just buckled down and showed Hollywood whose boss
She should’ve been called Grace for all her troubles, lol
She started at 20, so actually it was 74 years of scriptwriting. Yay!
Imagine just driving and a giant empty lot with a sign saying "UNWATCHABLE GARBAGE" appears out of the corner of your eye.
yeah it's called Disney lol thanks it's nowhere near the 4.2k+ upvote the op got, but this is the most likes I've gotten.
Best studio name ever!
and a guy in an alien costume is being filmed shaking his wiener
@@darkfire420YT Glad someone else said it ^_^
@@darkfire420YT Fair enough lol 😅🤣
Today I learned that Josh has a massive amount of RAM for his computer, which is probably an evolutionary adaptation.
he is dedicated to torturing the game as hard as he can. It can't take the easy way out anymore.
Nice
It’s amazing (and also slightly concerning) that Josh’s thumbnails and titles are never clickbait
He never needs to make stuff up because everything he does and creates in these games are already so crazy
I am all here for it
Dude for real, I always know I'm in for a wild ride
Honestly, I'd probably be down to watch a movie from a studio with the self awareness to name themselves "UNWATCHABLE GARBAGE"
Checkout the studio the Asylum. They're called that because only crazy and stupid people watch their movies since they are all low budget rip offs of whatever movie is coming out at the time.
No sleep, no food, and a maze to get in and out sounds like great conditions for the kind of consciousness-altering experiences that make great movie scripts!
E
I should try that!
You know the film industry is insane when they looked at Joshs place and said "Yah, that place is great for employees." What kind of evil deranged working conditions could make Joshs place look good?
Disney's Creative Offices
Working for Josh would be the greatest improvement ever for Hollywood
Bot. You stole this comment >:(
Someone call The Asylum. One of their inmates just posted their entire business model and called it a video game.
I’m an assistant director in Vancouver, and this is not just a fun game. This is a documentary on how Hollywood works.
We know lmao that the best part about this
@@TheMASTER4realit honestly hurts lol
The funny part is; even garbage movies can still be profitable over there. I'm a DIT in Switzerland, none of our movies are ever profitable. (Maybe a handful that break even) 😂
@@MarcoGruber The USA has about 331 million people and big studios with massive marketing budgets. That’s why movies and other entertainment make a ton of money there - it’s mainly about having a huge audience and strong promotion.
Switzerland, on the other hand, has only around 8 million people, so it's tougher to make big bucks. If you want to go international, you have to spend a lot on marketing, and it’s even more expensive if people aren’t familiar with the studio, actors, or culture. People usually stick with what they know. American culture is like a franchise that has spread worldwide, and they’ve been investing in propagating it for a long time. This makes it easier for US films to succeed globally.
@@JMCGP4 Yes, of course, it's an apple to oranges comparison. It's still amusing. 😀
You've basically perfectly simulated the process of Disney movies.
Pump out as many as possible with lots of marketing, even if the movies are complete trash
And then buy out other studios
And clone actors of course
@@hatty2450 So all the competition is you.
This was my first thought too
@@alu2901 "We don't have a monopoly, what about all those other studios?" *points to several mirrors
i love how despite the clickbait looking titles, none of his videos are clickbait, and most of the time just surpass our expectations on what is he going to do
"because in the bathroom it's always showtime!" 🤣
Jeez you should have named the studio Walt Disney Films inc.! Cause you make nothing but crap, pay people nothing, have huge marketing campaigns to inflate expectations, and make billions you use to just buy up everyone that competes! 😃
At least Disney had their Golden age...
@@CodecrafterArtemis fair enough... If Walter knew what was happening now he'd be ashamed... Probably.
You literally became Disney.
Producing slop, abusing workers, focusing everything on marketing, and buying up other studios.
I thought the same thing omg 😂
Disney as run by Uve Boll.
Disney would never hire old people!
But it worked, didn’t it?
There should be a documentary about Josh. It could have a plot like: "Josh has just become CEO, his rival employee, Grace now knows what is going to happen. Does she quit and lose her only source of income or does she take the torture and make 3 cents an hour?"
Damn 3 cents an hour, must be one of josh's feeling generous day
That’s a lot of money.
Per DAY, friend. Per day!
@@itsjustme8947You mean century?
Eisdid9
Stand around at night time complaining about how tired and hungry they are. Sounds like my life when I was a film and TV extra. Props for accuracy 😂
This video had a better ending than some movies I’ve seen, like the antagonist… winning? That rarely happens… *what do you mean ‘Josh is the protagonist’?!?*
>Unwatchable Garbage!
>2010s!
>Buying Every Major Studio In The Business!
>All Of The Box Office Gross Is Based On Marketing!
That's a little too on the nose, Josh. LMAO!

Bro that poor other actor having a wall chosen over them for the kiss scene 20:32
"Help! Im stuck in the bathroom!!"
"Which one?"
meanwhile, the neighbour: "DOOR STUCK! DOOR! STUCK! PLEASE! I BEG YOU!"
Knowing that Josh is a script supervisor makes the jokes he makes about writers so much funnier. XD
he is? where did he say that
citation required.
he is?
@@thebluehat6814 Even if he isn't, he technically is. I'm pretty sure he does write his own scripts, lol! That make him his own supervisor which is akin to putting the fox in charge of guarding the henhouse!
@@thebluehat6814 there is video of him on CZcams, being introduced by a director on something he was working on. Someone pointed him to the video of him, and he confirmed that it is him, and that he really doesn't care that it's out there.
Josh made Inception 2 with that building layout XD
This is further supported by the fact that the entire structure feels like a fever dream in the best/worst way possible
24:10 "Okay I think I now understand how this game works" No, I believe you now comprehend how the real film industry operates.
Didn't think this game would go for that amount of realism, but this makes total sense. So many movies are complete garbage but make a ton of money because they're hyped to the sky
and people don't ask for refunds after getting scammed
That was hilarious! Josh should do more of this game, Hollywood is good fodder for comedy right now! 😂
I think you just explained how the industry works - the execs just throw things at the wall and hope something sticks.
🤣🤣I can't stop laughing at the idea of a full-blown, Universal-style, movie logo opening that just says "Unwatchable Garbage"
E
Or the 20th Century Fox skylights and fanfare...
marvel movies
The disney castle logo opening, with the music and everything
lmaoo
Josh's mantra is basically, "If there's a will, there's a maze" and I think that's just beautiful
I just went through his old videos and all his: “Hey there it’s Josh welcome back to let’s game it out” get progressively happier and more energetic every new video
Been watchin Josh for about 4 years now, and every time I see @LetsGameItOut videos come up I know it is going to be one bumpy, but enjoyable, ride! 😂❤
I am very confused. Josh usually plays games in a wacky over the top manner, but for some reason, he played this one as realistically as possible?
Because that's the only way to make profits. 😂
What video were you watching? There was nothing out of the ordinary.
im pretty sure that's the problem @@Darvid08
@@Darvid08This is the reality of the film industry
@@Darvid08 What comment were you reading? That's exactly what he said?
Man "Disney Simulator" was a wild ride, another classic episode from Josh
29:24 you'll notice he has exactly the amount of money in the title XD
literally crying laughing at this masterpiece
22:53 finally!
21:07 plot for alien geriatrics crying over books: alien dances in front of the camera and aliens fight the hospital and someone was doing cpr and sees flames and earthquake. The end.
The degree to which this game's absolute jank accurately depicts the IRL movie industry is both shocking and depressing
This episode was outstanding, Josh. It just flew by. I think I’m on my 7th watch and still laughing. Well done, dude!
I don't know what kind of PC I expected Josh to have, but having at least 60GB of RAM is something I really should have seen coming.
It is quite impressive how much he sabotages himself in these videos and yet still somehow manages to succeed at the end, prehaps chaos is the key to success.
he just proves how poorly the game is programed because no one expects him to make like 100 movies at once and have tons of marketing to over hype it. I would love to see him play some of the best designed games and see how he can break them as well. Although his Sims videos were fun.
love seeing 16 seconds ago and not three months
ikr
Real!
....
fr
Erm actually it was three weeks ago not month 🤓
Let's Game It Out is the best bug tester. People should start hiring him
I commented smt like this a few weeks ago. And I fully agree with you that he is secretly a bug tester and that he just records and uploads him doing his job.
@@AdvikTekkieTalk i bet hes just doning youtube for EXTRA money
one of your best videos in a while. Had me hollering at my desk at lunch while other people were wondering what was going on.
Josh trying not to make a maze in the first 30s of playing a game challenge (impossible)
The lady who delivereed the script but was left with life changing anxiety was way too real LMAO
Like, I'm pretty sure this video showcased the Wizard of Oz behind the scenes production
That and this is also just modern Disney
Except that wizard of Oz was good. I second the other guy who likened Josh’s studio to Disney
@@DannyDevitoOffical-TrustMeBro the wizard of oz was good, but research the production of that movie, every actor received an injury of some sort
@@JeremyMaldonadoSTKalso cancer, lots and lots of cancer.
@@JohnBrown-tw2qi The snow was Abestos :)
No one van make me laugh with as much consistency as you. Well done!
Ok it was one of the funnier videos I have seen in a while, or maybe I am the most depressed I have been in a while, but I have enjoyed it a lot! Thanks!
As someone who does a lot of community theatre and student short films I can confidently say this is nicer that 90% of the studios of seen
"Well maintained lots" = 300 toilets forming a maze. 😂
This is the first Lets Game It Out video where I straight up laughed non-stop, starting at the part where he starts directing the scenes all the way to the end
Lol. I love how this is basically the discovery of the shovel-ware strategy.
Still better production value than Netflix originals
Another true classic. I like how you pulled a disney at the end and just bought up the competition.
I just wanted to say, LGIO you cure my everyday boredom. Its never a boring day when you post a new vid
Hey Josh love the vids I have been watching your for years and I’m glad your content is still crazy as it used to be. Keep up the great vids!
He did it. He cracked the modern film industry. This is exactly how it works.
He recreated Disney by spamming shows and buy other studios
27:15 “I created and hired a character named Crying Inside. That’s how you know he works in marketing.”
I feel seen.
Less than 30 mins full course educational video on film making business. Never expected it on this channel.
the bathroom is, and i mean this literally, straight from my remeron-induced lucid nightmares. you did amazing.
That's the inherent flaw with games like this and game dev tycoon. What you do doesn't really impact your score, it's all too arbitrary.
You can make a blockbuster by filming a corner for an hour if you tick the right boxes, or you could spend days finely crafting a scene only for the game to tell you it is garbage.
Isn't that the same with movies now? As long as you tick boxes, people will pay to watch garbage.
Perfect simulation of the real industry.
Kind of like real life 😅
Hopefully there's a DLC for this where you can take a beloved ghost franchise and destroy it with an all-female version, fake reviews, and terrible jokes.
Geriatrics 114: We have been abandoned by a god who hates us.
Geriatrics 666: wrath of satans call
Making the actor "ready to suck"... uou made steven segal lol😅😅
This is the only channel that reliably gets me to laugh out loud with every video, always a joy to see an upload
21:07 This is one of rare occaisions where Josh laughs instead of giggling, and its amazing as always
he reminds me of homelander
his videos may take a few weeks, but each one is a gem
I love your talent to break literally every game while making it fun to watch you do so
I love that two of the reviews at 23:41 reference the movie being unwatchable, as if that's not exactly what the studio said it was going to be making from day 1
Love this invulnerable staff that you simply can't destroy. No food, no sleep, unsatisfied, not going home, not growing older - yet still standing and kicking. My sims should learn some tricks.
I worked in the film industry as a crew member for 15 years, and I can confirm this is a HIGHLY accurate depiction of my job.
LGIT starter pack:
An absurd amount of money in the title.
A floor plan that would make any engineer vomit.
Ridiculously sized rooms.
Long ahh hallways.
And last but the least,
Bathroom put in horrible places.
And is there a limit, don’t forget that
Don't forget:
Specific mechanics that Josh figures out how to abuse to reach the highest level
Strange additions or objects that Josh puts most effort into, be it a tall forest of non-trees, excess, or something else.
An NPC (ordinarily Grace) suffering
modern Hollywood
No no he's got a point
Don't forget the sky bridges
Aw man, "stall-way" was staring you in the face (literally, as usual) and you passed! 😂
What a good day. Painting while listening to mipha's them and then seing a new chaotic video from josh. What a calming day
0:44 Oh god, the kerning on that sign!!! 😱
i would 100% watch a movie if it was called "violent geriatrics huggin & kissin" and it was rated G
edit: i would watch any of these because of the name
people are still talking about the deep meaning of the repeated scenes.
Pretty sure that's exactly what Disney does at the moment...
Fr
Plus some woke propaganda
@@ezekielanderson9055hurrr woke
@ezekielanderson9055 - not really propaganda as it's more of a poor attempt at pandering.
Like how all the corpos 'support' Pride month only for that month and then goes back to discriminating as soon as it's over. It's all fake.
@@adasgigulka7389 how is your reply 3 hours old on a 1 hour old comment?
Amazing. Simply amazing. These are the kinds of films- nay, *masterpieces!-* missing from Hollywood today.
Anyone remember an older game called "The Movies"? 2005 ish? Glad to see something spiritually similar.
The Movies is on abandonware, but it's a process to get it working right....
Also, I absolutely love how Josh can play a game absolutely incorrectly and make absurd amounts of money.
I loved that game.
Still runs fine though. But it is indeed sad that Lionhead was one of the studios Microsoft killed, they made good games.
I kind of missed Lionhead. To think back, The Movies was kind of revolutionary to other simulation games (The Sims 2 era). And sadly, this game is like an update patch to The Movies 🤷🏽
P/S: Black & White is legendary.
This was driving me crazy, I was so sure I'd seen this game before.
I love the task manager insights into Josh. Obviously it's those edge windows destroying your RAM!
This content is so funny and entertaining. I love it.
I love your sense of humour. This video was great!!!!!
My cup runeth over with enjoyment
"If their job was to do everything wrong, then they succeeded."
That is, in the context of a Let's Game It Out video, a pretty high compliment.
23:23 I would watch a movie about an astronaut with a hatchet in a dungeon.
Who wouldn't
Love these videos Josh, keep it up.
As someone who is in the art department of film my heart hurt when he said “maybe you don’t need them to make a film” 😭
Artgo be like:
Hey man love your videos!!!
Edit: keep making them there all bangers!
After I heard a maze of toilets I said to myself... Wow that's Amazing... I AM ALONE... WHO AM I TALKING TO... WHY AM I SO INSANE!!
Can we just appreciate the LGIO has never clickbaited us 😂

@@EEEEEEEE E
Sometimes I get worried Josh is doing something normally, then I remember it’s Josh
this is the only youtuber who can make me laugh every video they make
