A para-social relationship? It's nothing like our friendship, Mike and Jay!
“You feel like you’re their friend, even though they don’t know you” - Jay
Me alone binge watching RLM: 😕
Pretty real dawg.
awww dude :(
:(
We're not your friends either, Rory
🙃
"It was cute, it was pretty smartly written and enjoyable and I actually liked Ben Stiller in it. It's not a movie i would recommend to anyone."
-Mike Stoklasa
Fork in the brain Fork in the brain Fork in the brain Fork in the brain Fork in the brain
Well, his description of it did sound fucking awful, so that kind of made sense to me, other than the part where he said it was 'enjoyable'
Why is Rich swearing so much?
Honestly, having just binge watched a bunch of their reviews, I think that's the biggest difference between Mike and Jay when doing recommendations around weird niche things. Mike genuinely enjoys things that he knows won't appeal to anyone else, and in the review will break down all he liked but still not recommend it because he knows it's a unique perspective thing. On the other hand Jay will watch a super weird niche thing, and recommend it, but with an asterisk "if you like that sort of thing" type of thing.
Mike: "soon my dream will come true, of a world without movie theaters"
Me watching in 2020: oh...
I’m looking forward to seeing whether or not Mike’s joke about country club movie theaters comes true after all this.
😆
Turns out COVID was actually a hoax, but instead of the Chinese Democrats, it was Mike's Chinese uncle the whole time.
And Jay saying some movies are releasing on streaming on the same day as movie theaters
I read that "oh..." as if Mr. Plinkett was saying it
24:57 "She's very sardonic, and miserable. It's her face, too."
Aubrey Plaza is Mike Stoklasa's soulmate
WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR FAAACE
What? You mean she also makes videos ripping apart star wars, and then makes snide comments about fans who attack star wars like a sneaky hypocrite?
hahaha what a great story DisplayName
"I get movies from the redbox..."
-Mike Stoklasa, future old man
Toolsquatch isn't everyone man a future old man?
Some of us are getting there quicker than others though XD
Is this Mike Stoklasas coming of old age story??
*Ex-future old man
@@kindaawkwardbronot if they're fucking dead
Something I love about RLM is that I can strongly agree and strongly disagree with the same person more than once in the same video. Because they have actual opinions. It's great.
ImperfectWeapons With this that probably has more to do with how many movies they're reviewing
Instead of the manufactured and damn-right soulless reviews that most channels upload COUGH Collider COUGH
Arran Boon Have you seen any of their videos that aren't Star Wars? Or are you upset people enjoyed it?
right I don't always agree with them but you can always see where their coming from and they do it in a fun way
Lagg they try to like most of what they see? What channel you been watching?
For some reason it blows my mind that Mike and Jay don't see every movie together.
+Dan Bollen Same here, it's crazy. Next they'll be telling us that they sleep in separate beds.
Well, obviously not with Rich. Just the two others.
@@redlightmax let's not go too far, now.
@@expresionless953 Normally I would agree with a comment like this, but you do realise that this is the same site where Mike was once raped by a robot and also, along side Jay, was once raped by Cop Hookers while also being forced to pay for it?
Going too far is a term that does not exist on this site.
It blows my mind that, with that chemistry, Mike and Jay don't just live together as a happy gay couple
"It's a film about emotional abuse- and I think that's why I like it so much..." - Jay Bauman, 2018
I'm so gay for Jay.
This is genuinely how I feel about some of my favorite movies, like Fire Walk With Me and End of Evangelion to an extent.
dunnnhn duhnnnh duhn duhnnnnnnnnn duhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnn duhhnnnnnnnn
*rape piano noises* duhnnnnnnnnnnnnhhhhhhhh duhhhhhhnnnnnnn duhhhhhhhhhhhhhn
"Hi, i'm Shinji Ikari, and I like to masturbate to comatose girls!"
i need a 14 hour video of jay reviewing and gushing over depressing/creepy/john waters-esque movies and mike blankly staring
Now Mike understands how Jay feels when he gushes over Star Trek randomly.
Jay should just do a spin-off show about ALL the weird/creepy indie films he's watched. Like The Cinema Snob, but actually funny
the good cinematography in "Split" is because M. Night got the cinematographer from "It Follows"
That's why the shots weren't flat
Looks flat compared to his earlier movies though (from Sixth Sense to Lady in the Water)
Night Shyamalan always had good cinematography even in the schlock with Joaquim phoenix and shit
Well he did good job picking the right cinematographer.
You realize that the cinematographer works with the director to what they both want to achieve. Almost always the director tells him what kind of style, lighting and framing he wants. It Follows was almost a direct rip off from M Night Shyamalan camera / lighting work. Which is a good thing.
@@ThreadBomb it always boggled my mind as to why shyamalan decided to direct TLA when the premise of the show and movie completely went against the kinds of stories he usually tells
Immediately back here to check the Wish upon part
I'm dying at Mike's passion when he talks about Wish Upon. I haven't seen him so invested in talking about a movie in a long time.
MissMillsonxx except knives and cops
not only knives but edged weapons in general.
Compare that with The Last Jedi, where he couldn't give less of a shit hahah. i felt the same.
Yoda want milk. Go milk thing.
I would have sworn the madmen have talked about Wish Upon before & would you look at that. Damn, time flies.
The scene in Wish Upon where the dad is playing the saxophone had me in actual tears
25:58 "You feel like they're your friend even though they don't know you fucking exist"
So basically watching RLM
I'm a professional in the mental health industry and I can honestly say we are way too busy to protest good movies
Tristan Slaymaker altho that 13 reasons why got some feathers ruffled
But what about the bad ones?
thank you for your service!
the real Aubrey Plaza story is that she met the casting director for Parks and Rec before the show even entered development, she was introduced to the creators, and they created a new character designed to be played by her. the scripts hadn't been written yet, so the character was just named Aubrey.
Nick Shuler: Didn't she just stare silently at the creators for 10 minutes when she met them? Anyways, I kind of liked "Safety Not Guaranteed" and she was the lead in that.
Nick Shuler
@Beau Lijah why did you have to copy the entire comment to add such a stupid remark at the end?
Ironic that a parasocial relationship is what most of us have with RLM
speak for yourself
Denial.
I was going to write this comment.
ok
You mean because we stalk them but want to get in a lesbian friendship with them?
Wish Upon Plinkett review is something I can get behind.
Mike saying that he got a toy truck for Christmas sounded genuine.
I don't think I've ever seen Mike happier than when he's talking about Wish Upon.
You guys are my parasocial friends
"The scariest thing in the world are internet fans."
-Jay Bauman
you feel smart and funny for using that word,kid
Strucci says hi
thunder cleez 🙄
2021: And now they're my *pandemic friends*
Love how this turned into an episode of Best of the Worst near the end.
I cannot wait for Best of the Worst: The Next Generation. Where it's all direct to Redbox or Netflix dumpster fire films like Wishupon or God knows what else.
Yes
Welcome to the future. You got your wish.
"If i haven't seen it, i will sit here and stare at you awkwardley."
Funny, most of us are doing the same thing with you two since years.
FQ Vermis why is your profile pic a convicted sex pervert?
FQ Vermis oh, you don’t like reviews by people that have an honest and bona vide opinions of a movie. Got it.
Lorenza Garcia Because we all have a little bit of a Sex Pervert in us (even if it's just at the Manhole.)
"That one-sided relationship where you follow someone on Instagram or Twitter or whatever and you feel like they're your friend even though they don't know you fucking exist"
Jay just inadvertently described what's going on with 90% of the commenters on this channel
Kev ZΔksor whhaaaat?! Are you implying Mike and Jay don't know I exist? Fucking shit balls. I knew it was too good to be true :(
I am completely hyped to see James McAvoy growling and snarling trying to hurt an invincible Bruce Willis.
How'd you like it?
well ig those things happened in Glass (what a shitshow)
"I like Movies where people are trapped in a hopeless situation and have to figure a way out"
"And I like Movies where people's heads explode"
RE:View Battle Royale is desperately needed after those statements!
I was gonna say "it's Battle Royale in an office".
and the SEO on Battleroyal has to be pretty good right now.
The film itself was made by the Director in his old age having, as a teenager, survived a bombing raid in a munitions factory in World War 2 by diving underneath his class for cover and then afterwards had to clear out the corpses of the people above him. Battle Royale as a movie is kind of about that feeling of the youth being lead to their deaths by the adults around them, more due to the incompetence of the older generations refusing to acknowledge the differences of those born into a different world than themselves than any initial fault of the younger generations, the idea being the adults punishing the children for growing up in a world that ironically the adults caused in the first place, making a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. The Director's Cut does a lot to clear up the metaphor by changing the final line from "Run" to "in this moment what should an adult say to a child?". The overwork to death angle, I really don't see it xD.
That said different strokes for different folks, the Director's Cut is definitely my own number 1 movie but it certainly has its issues. It's my number 1 just because it has never failed in making me smile every time I watch it; it's the classic case of having a movie that just clicks for them for some unknown reason....mine just happens to be a bunch of 14 year olds getting murdered.....I hope that doesn't say something about me.......I'm sure it means nothing
I'd rather them talk about Running Man
Parasocial relationship? What''s that? Oh, I have friends for 53 minutes!
"I've never looked at my watch during a trailer before." -Mike Stoklasa
Wish Upon!
Are you guys saying M. Night Shyamalan subverted your expectations
Where's my Lightning Fast VCR repair plotline you FFFRAUDSS?
It will remain an unfinished masterpiece, just like The Canterbury Tales.
"John C. Reilly is good, but all the human characters suck"
23:46 Aubrey Plaza was perfectly cast in Scott Pilgrim vs the World, as well.
or will you be busy
babysitting
everyone is perfectly cast in Scott Pilgrim. Finally read the comics and even the most insignificant characters look and talk like their comic book counterparts, it's incredible. Amazing source material and amazing adaptation
12:07 When Max Landis teams up with the director of Suicide Squad, you KNOW that quality is on the way.
Alex Marko I doubt he'll be doing any writing for the next few years
David Ayer is actually alright as a director. He did some good cop movies and Fury was alright too
Landis is a shit writer, (and from what i hear a garbage person as well) but he has some interesting ideas. That''s about it. Dont have him write dialog, for the love of god.
Bright was trite.
I can't believe Mike is 63 years old.
He looks more like 45...
Tom Noonan!
Fuck off. He can't be
I saw Raw when it was screening at TIFF and after the movie there was a panel with the director. Julia Ducournau came out looking like a supermodel and spent half an hour laughing and swearing and telling production stories, she's fantastic.
And so is the movie
Sad to hear she looked like she had an eating disorder, though. I hope she's better
I can't believe there's an M. Night Shyamalan cinematic universe
Now I can pretend that I have friends for the next hour.
Mr. Bubbles You’re not fooling anyone with that name.
oh my gawd.....how embarrassing.
Mr. Bubbles Goes West
'I think Mr Plinkett needs to go through this movie...'
AW MY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD. It's pizza rolls and homicide time again.
I watched Ingrid Goes West because of this video and the irony is killing me.
The background behind them is like the saddest/creepiest Where’s Waldo ever.
these are your best videos imo. do we really need more discussions about marvel movies? there are so many interesting movies in this ep i've never heard before and now want to check out.
troyduguid damn straight, after watching this I've added a few films to my list to watch. Film criticism is best when shining a light on stuff you might otherwise miss rather than just tearing down blockbusters.
Look up yourmoviesucksdotorg
I like that they do both!
Brandon G Don't you mean Cinema Rectum?
Mike wished for a world without theaters... Little did he know he had just summoned Corona Virus
Fun Fact: Mike Stoklasa eventually went on to watch Kong: Skull Island and quite liked it!
But will these movies surpass surviving edged weapons?
"You know we're never gonna beat Surviving Edged Weapons, nobody can"
Hei thank you
James Quinonez Reply of the year, right here folks.
Aubrey Plaza is awesome in Legion. Worth checking out.
Uncle Dan and also she has great legs!
That and Ingrid Goest West (we can throw in The Little Hours in there too even as that was just alright) make this her year to shine
I love these round-up episodes because I discover really interesting movies
We’re all still waiting for the Plinkett review of Wish Upon
Mike's dementia.
May have gone too far in a few places.
Is Rich Evans permanently replacing Kevin Spacey?
SuperDevolution Let’s face it, If I had to be molested by anyone, it’d be Rich Evans.
I love that burst of animation in Mike's eyes when Jay mentioned exploding heads.
Very glad to see them discuss both Ingrid Goes West and Colossal, two of my favorite movies of 2017. Ingrid Goes West in particular is just frightening in how accurate it is in how obsessed society is nowadays with social media, especially since Instagram could easily be swapped out with any other medium like Twitter or Facebook. Also, don't know if they watch it, but Aubrey Plaza is great in Legion.
*looks at noose, sees new RLM video.”
Not today, old friend.
Joaq Wizard Phoenix I wouldn't you'd end up in a Logan Paul video
Is the friend the noose or the video
wait how is the noose an old friend ? do you just randomly have a noose in your house for a really long time ?
"Wish Upon" Plinkett Review in 2019 confirmed? 48:09
VERY COOL
(in all seriousness, if it is that bad, a BandCamp track would be excellent)
None of my personalities wanna watch an M Night Shyamalan film
The conscious avoidance of anything John Wick-related is disturbing
The sequel (while entertaining) is pretty contrived and comic-book-like though, they even threw in Laurence Fishburne as "leader of the bum-assassins" for shameless Matrix fan service.
I like the comic book levels of schlock and how it was done, it's the only way to elevate the intensity of the first movie without being terrible.
It was a good movie, but it was fairly contrived and didn’t have the impact the first one had. For me every fight scene was like a repeat of the first one in the movie in terms of stakes and tension besides the fights in public and the fight with the villains main security guard.
First one was great. Second one was so painfully cliche and by the numbers that I couldn't understand how they fucked it up so bad so quickly.
because john wick is cliched, cheesy bullshit. i dont get why people like that
Thank you for talking about Raw
Man Beadle god I fricken wish. I'm not talented
be carefull what you wish for

Logan Paul disapproves this comment.
Now let's not be hasty!
You should've gone to hell. You fucking piece of shit.
Mike predicting the future 100% once again makes me anxious.
*Best outro yet!*
Fuck you!
It's January!
I don’t know, have you seen the one for Ready Player One?
Plinkett THE LAST JEDI brought to you by Pizza Rolls.. please
it won't come out until late 2018
Patience! Plinkett is getting up there in age. His mind has been weakened by strokes and dementia. He also has to find time between all his victims.
Tankado mike actually didn't hate the last jedi.
Lum Because it was schlock
Yet, the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones made the best material
Aw I love the Peter Jackson Kong. A little long but the definitive interpretation of that story imo.
A LITTLE long?
Chris Palmieri a little long is an understatement
I like it. but should be an hour shorter. i dont know what he was thinking
The definitive (only for me. Lol) is the '76 version. I love seeing the guy in the suit. It's got The Dude and the debut of Jessica Lange. And it explores Kong's weird sexual preferences for human women.
More like King LONG.
As someone who couldn't really care less about most major movies that hit the theaters, I really appreciate these catch-up videos. I'm putting a lot of these on my to-watch list. Thanks movie dads
12:55 Oh God, he knew...
Besting Rich Face
Beasting Rich Face
Holy shit Mike survived to 2018 without dieing of alcohol abuse, heart attack or sheer boredom.
MiketheMadness Or succumbing to his severe dementia
I'm pretty sure X-Men 12 is the next movie, at least if you count Deadpool.
Aaron Carnes remove the last 2 words
I seriously like how you show the cover of the movie you're talking about. Sometimes I don't pay attention and think "Wait, have they already moved on to talking about another film?"
Jay and Silent Mike Strike Back
Please never stop making amazing content. You're seriously the highlight of my media extended universe.
I just watched wish upon and desperately searched CZcams immediately afterwards to see if red letter media had covered it and was absolutely delighted to watch the last eight minutes of this video 😂
It’s now the spotlight of the latest Best of the Worst
Watched *I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore - glad to have seen it, some nice tones and messages and some great characters.*
I clapped when I saw RedLetterMedia uploaded a new video!
All jokes aside, when is Max Landis coming to discuss Bright with you guys?
They can't bring Landis back. Who is going to protect Rich from that sexual predator?
another rape allegations ? holy fuck... hope they truly get raped
when hes not a sexual predator
They're going to digitally replace him with Christopher Plummer
Erik Årman Fuck off. There were no rape allegations. The only thing that's happened is 3 or 4 people have claimed "they know" people who were harassed or assaulted. That doesn't sound like solid ground to me.
So last night right after watching HITB I watched WISH UPON and loved it! The acting, decision making and direction are so bizarre! The acting made us laugh at loud at parts. After the movie I noticed....the screenwriter follows me on twitter and ive spoken with her before! She's really nice and I reached out and asked her a few questions about the movie and she answered with good humor. I think a lot was lost in translation from the writing to the direction. -Mike- I asked her about the beginning and what was lost in translation is that the daughter dies when she is riding on the bike and the mom wishes her back. Look forward to part 2 of the 2017 roundup
I kinda thought the movie COULD have been a good script, your talk on the beginning cements that, that's a great twist if they had a director that could have somehow hinted on it... and been slightly competent.
I rewatched it yesterday with a friend. It's so fascinating! The overall concept is enthralling and gets your mind going. There are well executed sequences (conceptually and visually) but others so inept and baffling that even on second rewatch I exclaimed multiple times...WHAT IS GOING ON?! (in many ways such as a chinese scholar needing to be bribed with...wontons) My dream is....we see the Plinkett Review...and it inspires so many sales that we get a sequel!!!! (I think I could plan out a whole cinematic universe: sign me up for a feudal chinese prequel!)
It's definitely a top notch "so bad it's good" movie. I bought the directors cut on amazon for 8$ and would strongly encourage others to do the same. (and in typical this movie fashion....the standard edition is 15$ (1 hour 29 minutes...and the directors cut is 8$ (1.5 hours)
Still waiting on that Plinkett review of Wish Upon.
Still waiting
Still waiting
They are hack frauds, what did you expect.
Still waiting!!
Still Waiting. They should do a commentary at least.
When is the wedding?
Tomorrow.
Really glad to see that Jay liked Skull Island, it was definitely the underrated film of the year.
If you watch the planet of the apes half in the bag episodes in order you can watch Mike's soul slowly escape his body--and his brain becoming more and more pickled. Good stuff
I really appreciate this video. When I go to look for other movie recaps for 2017 I find lists where someone is trying to shovel crap down my throat.
With this it's just simply a bunch of movies that you guys found interesting, and my taste doesn't vary much from y'all's so I can rely on this.
If you want to see Audrey Plaza completely well utilised watch Noah Hawley's Legion, stellar "French-new wave" mini series, with Jemaine Clement and Dan Stevens. She plays a psychotic apparition. Its a stellar but rather snubbed show.
Natalia Jagielska is there a second season yet?
I second this, but, please, Jemaine Clement.
Currently, it is in post-production. It will come out later this year
Andrew Robertson Give it time. I struggled initially, but I'm very glad I persevered.
Is Rich Evans one of the dragons in Game of Thrones?
No he’s the Night King
What?
Yes
Dick the Birthday Dragon.
Aubrey Plaza was also perfectly cast in Scott Pilgrim
almost 4 years later and i’m still waiting for mr. plinkett to talk about wish upon
I am so happy you guys released this.
I NEED my daily dose of red,i watch every video so many times ,im a lonely guy ,i love to hear you guys talk and laught.
Try neebs gaming too. Those guys are hilarious and great characters. Hopefully help stave off the loneliness a bit!
You hacks never talked about Dunkirk!
Tiberius Hrafn-Úlfur Continued in part tooooooo.....
Yes they did. In the "Annabelle: Creation" episode, Mike asks Jay what he thought of Dunkirk, and Jay says "It was alright." So there you have it, their review of "Dunkirk".
(part 1 of 2)
It was better than alright. Best movie of the year. Fuck "Get Out" and "Baby Driver".
Congrats on being the only person who thinks that.
42:30 The way Mike tenderly craddles his mug feels me with a fantastic sense of warmth and happiness. It's adorable.
Dear RLM,
Thank you so much posting these! I end up never having time to watch movies throughout the year so never keep up, but every year you give me a list to work through and I love em. Thank you as always!
The reason people that work in the mental healthcare sector don`t protest such movies is that as with many stressfull jobs you got to develop a dark sense of humor about it or you go insane yourself.
I work in mental health. You're right, we have more shit to worry about than M. Night Shamalalalan movies. Also, they weren't really offensive anyway. The "sundowning" thing in The Visit was a good touch in that respect, because it's not a real thing. Easy to suspend disbelief about a fictional illness.
I'm offended by "The Good Doctor". Not because of autism, but because of the cheap, sad attempt to capitalize on a "trendy" mental illness. Fuck that show to death.
Didn't it turn out the guy was possessed by a demon in the end, anyway?
Watched Wish upon. It’s like a hallmark channel horror movie.
Lots of riffing
Watching this in 2020 I realized Mike is the reason COVID-19 happened because it finally brings his dreams of the death of movie theaters to life.
He did the Wish Upon
Mike's complaints about movie theaters seem to be Milwaukee based rather than in general.
Judging by his stubble, Mike could probably grow an awesome handlebar moustache. He needs to become Obsidian Jones.
Gold is better, makes pussy wetter!
M.Night, is alright, by meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
"I think Mr. Plinkett needs to get in there"
YES PLEASE
2020 and still waiting for the Plinkett Wish Upon review!
I hope you liked your blue Tonka truck. It was really hard to find!
