- Mike and Jay go down a rabbit hole of shameless rip off movies! Specifically Willy's Wonderland starring Nicolas Cage and The Banana Splits Movie, two films """"""influenced""""" by the premise of the video game Five Nights at Freddy's. Which one will be deemed The Best of the Worst????
- Zábava
"He gets what he deserves," - Jay Bauman in reference to a child getting devoured by a monster because he cheated at skee-ball
purple man be like:
I thought it was more the fact that he was warned about going back there and went anyway
Skee ball is a way a life you dirty casual. Get off my alley if your comin with that cheater shit.
Never cheat at the skee-ball Billy, because that's Satan's racket, and he'll git ya!
No.
His parents got what they deserved.
Rich throwing away family pictures is the saddest thing that happened in 2001.
Yea, it kinda reminds me of that one tragedy that year...
@@faxedwang when Rich watched the Star Wars Holiday Special.
@@Xxx_EvilSmurf_xxX No, it's when "freddy got fingered" got released
@@Adromedary Nah, it was when Rem Lezar melted steel beams.
@@Adromedary We like Freddy Got Fingered around here
Mike saving Rich's family photos when he was trying to throw them out after losing his grandma is like that episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 4 Episode 10 "The Loss" where Troi saves a music box Ensign Janet Brooks tried to throw out after she lost her husband.
@@verraque You can't beat friendships like that!
thats funny. (I get it: Mike comparing everything to a Star Trek episode)
Oh yes that time she was a good counselor.
@@BigSmella “I recognized that reference and I clapped!”
and then Troi makes a joke to the whole crew about Ensign Janet's unintentionally funny wedding dress. (a picture of the dress was left in the music box)
My dad (who grew up in the 70s/80s) is one of like only three diehard Banana Splits fans out there. At first he thought the movie was a joke, like a CollegeHumor parody or something. When he found out it was real, it cut him to the bone. The existence of the film made him genuinely sad.
edit: I'd like to clarify that with the help of Jellystone, my old man has recovered and his rose-tinted goggles for Hannah-Barbera productions are once again on.
I can actually understand that perfectly. The original Banana Splits was pretty lighthearted and silly, and seeing something like that twisted into an exploitative horror film would probably make me upset too if I was a fan of the original. The fact WB did that just because they wanted to cash in on FNAF (since Scott Cawthorn took the FNAF rights away from them) and didn't care an iota about the original franchise Hannah/Barbara made leaves a sour taste in my mouth as well. It just makes the movie come off as mean-spirited and lazy.
@@libRteedude Perfectly said.
I'm sorry :(
Lol if this is real he sounds like a man child. boohoo my Pokémon show I watched as a child has been exploited!!!
As the other Banana Splits fan out there I can relate with him. Its kind of sad.
I love imagining Mike, slouched in his chair watching the Five Nights at Freddies trailer
Fun fact: He saw Rich playing it once while they're livestreaming. If my memory serves me right he said it was boring.
I imagine Mike would be the kind of person who would thoroughly enjoy The Outer Wilds.
@@kerred how so?
@@kerred Yo, I love Outer Wilds
the trailer for the first game was verrrry bad at showing what's in store for the player. it has charm looking back if you are already a fan but, the trailers for 2&3 Are sooooo much better.
Rich Evans is actually a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic, it's truly incredible how far robotics have come in the 21st Century.
Cannot unsee.
The squealing is from gears that need a good greasin' after years of abuse...
I guess the reason he's so chunky is that the animatronic skeletons were bigger back then.
He did get bit by the Showbiz Pizza Bear, so I believe.
Dick the birthday boy was stuffed into a animatronic suit and his remnant was put into a Rich Evans robot
Williys wonderland feels like a kids fan fiction where his “really cool and powerful” oc goes to Freddys and kills all the animatronics because of how powerful he is
Saw a fan theory that fits perfectly that the reason he's so strong, kills them 1 by 1, and takes the breaks without fail is that this is part of the satanic contract and he's a modern day demon hunter. One of the tropes of such contracts is they are always supposed to technically be winnable. But if you kill them outside of the terms of the contract they just come back to life. So he came into town specifically to purge the town of these monsters and he came prepared. This explains why he isn't surprised, the custom energy drinks are just Witcher Potions in disguise, and he gets stronger as he defeats each new monster as per the terms of the contract/potions.
@@Ralathar44 you put more thought into this than the movie tried to lol
@@anthonyschwartz1084 That's not my theory, its something I read and I've now accepted as my own personal headcannon because it makes the movie more fun :D.
@@Ralathar44 Willy's Wonderland ruled!
Telling my child that the bad animatronics won’t hurt them because Nicholas Cage will beat them up.
Can we just appreciate how much Mike just loves his friend Rich Evans? It's hilarious sure but that's true friendship right there.
Or he’s collecting evidence for blackmail.
Real friends go through each others trash. :^)
I really feel it too c8
Hey, look, they fully accept and love him in a way that I can't. Yes. I'm talking about his laugh. The only reason I like it is because I know they all love it.
Rich Evans is the Bruce Campbell to Mike Stolklasa's Sam Raimi
I honestly can't believe there's so much lore and confusion behind the "Dick the Birthday Boy" photo, despite it just being a one-off gag.
They're covering for Julia Roberts (pictured in said photo as the Showbiz Pizza Bear) in hopes that they'll get their big break in Hollywood. I'm on to these Hack Frauds.
Can't believe how lazy they are for getting animatronic versions of themselves to review movies now.
@@MisterDriskul I can't believe the animatronics kid all those children
I knew of the picture like a full year before I knew about RLM (I think that was in 2015?). Was insane to think it was actually Rich Evans all along lol.
We need an iceberg chart of it
Interesting Fact. Warner Bros had the rights to make a FNAF movie but Scott Cawthon (the creator of FNAF) took the rights away from WB and took them to Blumhouse, that's why WB ended up making the banana splits movie
Gotta respect Scott Cawthon. He took a criticism with pride and became successful because of it. He returned a game because fans didnt like it. He manages to program a new game so fast but still with some polish to it.
He must have dodged so many bullets with movie deal offers.
I didn't see the banana splits movie, but from what i've seem, it's far away from fnaf...
The backstory of fnaf is ridicolously huge, it's far from being the "scream jumpscene" piediepie made it out to be...
@@kerred ...and then he just gives it to a completely talentless douchebag like Jason Blum.
@@kerred The FNAF games aren't for me but I respect them. They're horror resource management games particularly the first few. Manage the cameras, manage the power, check your angles, gotta use strategy to get through, etc, etc. They're clever.
How can one "take the rights away" like that?
...that's actually kinda sweet that Mike saved Rich's family photo as he threw them away
Except that it was for blackmail material.
@@OneOfTheLoveless You don't know what blackmail means, do you?
@@Riley_Mundt woosh

Those suits courtesy of the Jim Henson Company were actually really good, though sometimes they did go into the uncanny valley.
"Oh No! Country Bear Hall has been crushed!"
And that day, is T O N I G H T

The next FNAF ripoff movie should be about Rich Evans getting revenge on the Showbiz Bear
That's not what the banana splits movie was about?
He'll get help from Linda Blair and Detective Vickers (who has a PhD in Revenge)
"Julia Roberts! It WAS you?!"
He already has a solid resume for beating up dolls
@@sir0nion “Real-eskate scam”
Someone needs to make a supercut of all the times Mike says, "This is the worst thing I've ever seen".
I remember when someone compiled every single one of Geoff Ramsey's "this is the funniest thing I've seen in my entire life" moments
Should be done chronologically, so we can figure out the ranking.

@@AndMoreGame oh that's the easy part, the newer it is, the worse it is

"this movie rides the line between being a movie and a scam"
adam sandler copyright claim incoming
I think scam is the perfect word used to describe Willys Wonderland. I worked on it for six days as a camera utility. Which was its own interesting experience! The production was constantly scrambling, the budget was always an issue. Also Nicholas Cage is definitely an odd presence on set. But his girlfriend and her translator were very nice!
I've never been on a movie set. Sounds like a weird work experience but a unique one. Thanks for sharing!
Well, i guess for what it's worth, i really liked the movie . It's not a masterpiece, far from it, but there are some cool moments and even some clever ones. Maybe i'm reading too much into it, but i think it works well as a meta look on the genre: The kids that have to die are really stupid and stereotypical, the plot is obvious from the beginning, the monsters are easily defeated. It's not a movie that works by itself, it's a movie for fans of shlock and fans of Cage, which often times coincide.
You should be proud. This movie is fucking awesome. A genuine genre classic.
It really has it's own weird charm.

@@anatolymeller6261 they are going to get Brian Singer and Kevin Spacey
Fun Fact: The DTBBCU includes every single movie in Julia Roberts' filmography.
Add uncleskusclubhouse to that
That name fits pretty well.
If you say it out loud it sounds like one of the drunkenly slurred mispronounced sentences of Rich Evans.
Honestly, I think RLM can afford Nic Cage to be in their shows.
he'd do it free if he got to hang out with culkin.
Invite him to Best of the Worst, put him on the couch to watch garbage movies with them, then have him sit there and say absolutely nothing the entire episode.
Is he still paying off his IRS debt?
@@janeeyre1990 yes, because he’s still buying new castles and shit lol. He can’t help himself.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume Mr. Cage will do anything for any amount of money.
Gotta pay off that massive debt ~somehow~.
When Nic Cage is dancing at the pinball machine, the song that’s playing is “Willy’s Wonderland” and it’s about how he’s gotta survive the night before the animatronics kill him. So he’s either dancing to a meta diegetic song, or a non-diegetic song is playing while he’s dancing to nothing. So with that in mind, please watch Con Air, it’s a much better film.
And Con Air sucks, wasn't very good in its time and certainly doesn't hold up. When the Cage Gump character reunites with his wife and then decides to chase after Ving Rhames anyway. So fucking stupid. Never before have the villains been so much more likable than the 'hero'.
@@lawcane john malkovich's character was secretly gay with dave chappele's character though. Thats why dave set other guy next to him on fire. They had a plan
Is that a reference to the Steve Buscemi line in Con Air: "Define irony: A bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash" ...?
"Why is Nicholas Cage in all these terrible movies??"
If you guys don't know, he's in debt, he's in debt because he bought alota expensive cars, two castles and a t rex skull among other things. Not joking.
Bruce Willis is also in debt that's why he's in shitty movies too
I was thankful he was silent in the terrible willy's wonderland
A castle. Fuck man. Give me a castle. Fuck cars and dinosaurs
@@haroldfarthington7492 they don't give them to you, you have to pay for them. That's why he's in debt.
On a more serious note, Today I Found Out has a video about the crazy stuff that Cage spent his money on. IIRC it wasn't completely his fault, but he made some bad choices.

@@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786 I thought it was Jay. I could be wrong, but I remember it being a surprise because someone who's not much of a video game player said it. It would have been more expected coming from Jack or Rich.
Basically there are two types of Nicolas Cage movies now - ones where he really gets to stretch his legs creatively and get weird and interesting, and dull stuff he does to pay off his tax debts.
@Callahan1998 that strikes me as the former
@Callahan1998 Yep, its indulging his love of classic film, and it works so well.
Were there ever any Nick Cage movies not in one of those categories?
@@pieterzegers7788 National Treasure? Although it's not recent. He's not doing anything super creative or wacky but he's still actually trying to act.
@@jcore0981 I would put those kind of movies in a category called "90's Eddie Murphy phase" bland forgettable cashgrabs but that are not bad enough to be humilliating to the actors and to the viewer; I do not think Nic remembers fondly that movie but I do not doubt he would rather be doing works of that kind rather than shite like this.
You know, thinking about Willy's and them comparing it to The Hug, I think Willy's would have been way better as a short. The concept of Nick Cage being a silent badass who just wants to do his job and doesn't care about these demonic animatronics is a premise that could be pretty fun for a few minutes. Stretching it out movie length really hurts it.
Willy's Wonderland actually started off as a short during its early years of development.
Yeah, I loved Willy's Wonderland but I agree it could have used a little trimming.
Yeah, the trailer was actually pretty fun. "Oh no, the animatronics are evil! Watch out, Nicolas Cage! Oh shit he's secretly a badass who kicks their asses and just cleans the place". But then it was just that over and over again.
@@wheany 100% it didn't need to be 90 minutes, they could have trimmed out most of the stuff with the boring teenage characters and made it like 60 minutes of the badass Nick Cage stuff people came to see.
And it would be actually pretty damn funny, in a good way, if there was no "story" to this. Nic just goes in every night, kicks the ever living shit out of these things, does his job, cleans the place, rinse and repeat. If this was just his daily life it would work out a lot better.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate all of the "You guys just hate Willy's Wonderland because you don't get so-bad-their-good B-movies" comments being aimed towards the channel responsible for Best of the Worst?
love these guys, and willie’s wonderland is nothing beyond a 3/10 realistically (it’s still enjoyable)
but i don’t get how jay and mike are constantly questioning the idea behind nic cage’s character in the movie for a several minutes. they keeps elaborating on things he does in the movie that are….part of the humor? “why does he do this? why can he easily beat the animatronics?” i know these guys know what camp is, it boggles me how they can’t get behind things like this sometimes
@@esteboi3858 I agree, I found it enjoyable.

Interestingly enough, Chuck E Cheese didn't buy Show Bizz Pizza, Show Bizz Pizza bought Chuck E Cheese. They ended up rebranding themselves after the purchase.
Ah. Plot twist
@@curleyqreviews9793 that's not a twist M Night
Carny-Barker Rat > Hillbilly Bear.
I guess. 🤣
Probably because Chuck E Cheese was bigger on the coasts, and so with more populous demographics. From what I can tell, Show Bizz Pizza was an American Interior thing, with the Midwest and South being the primary regions that had the chain, but Chuck E Cheese (if I remember correctly) was started by Atari founder Nolan Bushnell in California, and quickly spread up the west coast while getting chains in New York and the east coast. There were simply more people in the areas where there were Chuck E Cheese's than there were Show Bizz Pizzas, so if you were going to do a merger and rebrand, you'd go with the brand that most people would know.
A similar thing happened when Vivendi and Activision merged years ago. Technically, Vivendi-Universal had the dominant share in the merger, but it was a French company primarily and no one in the US knew much about them. But they did know Activision, so the company kept the Activision name and brand. So it's rare, as usually the company with the larger interest keeps their name in the buyout/merger, but it does happen.
@@Shinkajo How do you define a twist? I am referring to this fact as a twist on expectations compared to what was said in the video over and over again. I also meant it as a joke.

The beginning of Willy's Wonderland featured dogtags on the rearview mirror in Cage's car, so he wasn't just some regular dude, it's implied that he's some sort of special ops or at least military.
people really grasping at straws to like this movie…
@@ix8786 he’s not saying that he’s just pointing this ONE thing out, he’s not saying its a good movie, he’s just pointing that ONE thing out
I dunno, I have a couple of those I wear every now and then, they have my name and everything but they aren't from the military, never been in it. This would be a pretty shitty way to say he was a soldier tbh.
@@Cosmic-Bear. it feels like a pretty good way to introduce a military background for a character without directly saying it. Sure, some people wear dog tags for aesthetic reasons, but that wouldn't be most people's first thought when seeing them.
@@ix8786 The movie was like a concussion. Not really good for your brain but makes you chuckle at the nonsense.

What you fail to realize is that the Nicholas Cage character is reliant on him being Nicholas Cage. His backstory is "he's Nicholas Cage" and that's apparently all the backstory he needs.
It would have been great if in act 1 Cage would have actually cleaned up the whole place. Then in act 2 he fights the monsters and gets the whole place dirty. Finally in act 3 the mechanic comes in to check up on him and says some campy things like, "Gee mister. What the hell happened here?" Cage replies with one word, "Cleanin'". Then walks out and gets into his car and drives off.

Watching Willy’s with my friends one night, it took me halfway into the movie to realize that little beep occasionally was his watch going off for his breaks, and that EVERY time he cranked open a can and played pinball, that meant it was his break time, tbh this really only works as a group viewing to laugh at, because I really couldn’t stop laughing at the pure spectacle of him chugging 43 cans of monster and beating the shit out of an animatronic, then straight back to the Pinball machine
It's definitely the best part of the movie. The actual animatronic stuff is forgettable, but it's so great to see Nic Cage not giving a shit and enjoying pinball at his mandated break time.

Willy's Wonderland is like a self inserts FNAF fan fiction where the writer (nic cage) thought to himself how much of a badass he would be if he was in FNAF.
Every middle school kid who says "if I see a clown, I'll kick him in the balls!"
Actually, before Nick Cage read the script and applied for the role, the director/writer himself was going to play the main role if they couldn't find a good actor. That's also why the role doesn't have any dialogue (though I don't know why they wouldn't just give Nic some dialogue once they got him on board).
It's good though.
Nic specifically wanted to play a character with no dialogue which I think he did pretty well

The guy that made the Five Nights at Freddy's games came up with the idea from the insults his previous game got, people told him his characters looked like creepy animatronics, So he went with that and made a game about creepy animatronics.
It was reviews from game publications as well. From footage I've seen, they weren't wrong; the game is called Super 3D Noah's Ark.

I can imagine him pulling a list out of his pocket at the end. You get a look at it and there's like 50 pizzarias that he's already crossed out.
I really liked Willy's but based off the trailer that's what I thought it was going to be about. I thought he'd be like some kind of demon hunter, driving around town to town and dealing with situations like this. Still, I thought it was funny.
I was thinking maybe he was an animatronic that had escaped and was coming back to destroy his tormentors. His actions are robotic, drinking on a schedule, no reaction or celebration.
@@skillcollector9800 Fun fact that was actually in the original short the director made. According to an article(BloodyDisgusting I think) I read they removed it from the movie in favor of Cage being a mysterious everyman.

Huluween was a competition of short films that the winner would get chosen to go on and have a feature film made about it. Though I don't know what happened to said competition. Take it as a grain of salt though, this is just what I remember.
Both Wonderland and Banana Splits really fell flat on the animatronic thing. I love how the monster in The Hug looks like a real robot, that makes it look way creepier. Obviously it would be harder for them to perform stunts and action, but that lifeless, hydraulic motion really sells the unsettling factor: you know this isn't alive, it's just a machine.
agreed... and it's doable, but unfortunately these type of exploitation grabs aren't ever going to go the extra mile for it.
the right director could at least acknowledge it towards the beginning with proper blocking, use of repetitive motions, etc., and let it fall away as the mayhem cranks up in the second act.
then you just need an occasional nod here and there as it wraps up... exposed animatronics, a couple callbacks.
Love ur history of cyberpunk vids
Robot Chicken is by Seth Green? Makes sense. That's why it's so awful

"...so we know that the fourth fight scene Nick Cage has with the animatronics actually takes place before the third scene, but what if, and stay with me here, the third scene is actually the fight of '87! Now, if you translate the rhythm of his strikes into Morse Code, you get the following message..."
@@voilvelev6775 that's kinda petty
Totally forgot I watched "THE HUG" on a whim, and after that I thought..."That is the perfect amount of time to spend on a premise like this."
I didn't like Willy's Wonderland, but it gave what it promised: Nic Cage fighting killer animatronics. I appreciate that. I've seen too many monster movies that have 80 minutes of talking and 5 minutes of monster.
dude how did you predict the fnaf movie???!!
@@electricfishfan7159 They took the easy way out: a drama story with horror inserted, ala stephen king, rather than a story about horror, ala poe or lovecraft.

I know I’m hella late on this, but the animatronic explosion as of late that started with FNAF has nothing to do with that documentary. Fnaf was actually the result of criticism from games journalist Jim Sterling saying that All of Scott Cawthon’s characters looked like fucked up animatronic horrors. So Scott made a game about animatronic horrors.
Jim was right though because cawthons original games legitimately look like shit
Seeing these two become frustrated with Willy's Wonderland is a highlight of my day
"Pizza baked fresh every day."
Only once a day. They pre-baked them all in the morning.
Technically true! lmao. Sorry I wasn't here 3 months ago.
Glad someone else caught that
I had a bigger character arc myself watching this video. I went from “I don’t care Willie’s Wonderland is bad I’ll watch it anyway, it’ll be fun” to “good lord I’m never watching this shit”
It was fun, but best if you are familiar with video game tropes.
@@luvhair255 yeah, the whole thing with him going back to pinball felt like bonus stages after defeating bosses.
You have to really suspend your disbelief to enjoy this movie, think about it too much and you'll end up like these two. Its nick cage beating up animatronics, need I say more? Its campy bad at best

When I was a kid, I read a Donald Duck comic where two sculptors were competing against each other by putting statues in their yards to outdo each other.
And because of their animosity, the statues would come alive at night and vandalize the other sculptor's backyard.
Something like this would be a good concept about two animatronic-entertainment pizza parlors, just across across the street, competing with each other. Then the animatronics come to life, vandalize the garden of the competition. First owner accuses the other, the following night there's retaliation, the next night there are employees forced to do night shifts to witness who is doing the destruction, only to be surprised by the animatronics attacking them first...
Never thought I would see the day when Jay and Mike acknowledge Five Nights at Freddy’s
Chuck E. Cheese’s is just a place for divorced parents to get together and drink beer on the weekends that they have custody of their kids... It’s already a horror story.
Se Michigan/nw Ohio we had major magics. Same concept. Little more sad.
They serve alcohol at Chuck E Cheese?
Wow.
This entire episode is like that clip of Charlie Kelly on IASIP where he's going insane trying to connect the dots in the mailroom and figure out the conspiracy of Pepe Silvia but instead it's just Rich Evans at the center of it all.
Why are there likes on this random, unrelated comment?
You wanna talk about Rich Evans? I've been dying to talk about Rich Evans. I got boxes full of Rich.
the Banana splits movie scares the hell out of me. Something about cheery murders really makes my skin crawl
I love how much joy you guys have brought to the world with that polaroid.
as the film industry collapses and the only new films left to review are direct-to-video, half in the bag is gradually becoming best of the worst
I was honestly hoping they would just make a BOTW spotlight of willies
huge "Is Half in the Bag replacing Best of the Worst?" meme opportunity missed
Willy's Wonderland features a scene, where Nic Cage curve stomps a demonic, animatronic gorilla to death, in an urinal.
If this doesn't get him a second Academy Award, then I dunno....
NicCage as Doomguy in FNAF.
He also nearly crushed the skull of the siren animatronic with his thick thighs while handcuffed
@@johnsaints969 The whole time I watched the movie it proved to me that a real DOOM movie with a completely silent Doomguy could work perfectly
@@Schlumbuo I thought you were supposed to worship Khorne, not Slaanesh

Do you watch Framerater by chance ?
The kid who played Jimmy, the mechanical boy, was nominated for an academy award for best supporting actor when he was 16. He had it while they were filming the mechanical boy. By 21 he was an alcoholic.
I'm sorry what? Are you joking?
Oliver Twist is a great movie and he was great in it.
Jay corpsing at the Liam Neeson line was genuinely delightful
Jay’s expectation of the end of the Nick Cage flick would have been great if he got in his car, crossed out the names of the animatronics he killed or Xd out their picture then we see Mickey Mouse is next on his list
The most damning review of horror cinema Jay has ever spoken: "I almost didn't finish it"
Holy crap - 4:24 - I never got the double entendre of "Dick the birthday boy" until now. I cannot believe Julia Roberts saw that and I didn't
Glad it's not just me on that one, feel a bit silly in retrospect
Me too and I have a shirt that says it lmao
@@Domus_Maximus - thing is, it's a double double-entendre - "Dick" is already a double-entendre, then when you position the word in a sentence where it could be a 'verb' - it's a double-double, lol I just keyed in on the first one but dang if I wasn't shocked and delighted to know that Julia's mind is dirtier and she immediately saw the verb!!!
“Oh jay.. it’s like you’ve seen a movie before”
"A goofy movie" has a great take on that kind of animatronic show
One of the best.
I prefer normal movies
The monsters don't even feel like animatronics. They're just dudes in suits or CGI messes. They don't feel heavy or clunky or creepy even.
The Banana Splits Movie is the weirdedt too cause the original characters were never animatronics. Felt they just wanted the pull from fnaf fans
They should’ve just made the Banana Splits serial killers
it's tragic cus i would still take both, as if they were meant to be dead corpses possessing suits but they pushed for animatronics so much that forcing a robotic perspective in a clearly attractive siren that is everything but metal breaks the immersion
Except they used actual puppet in every suit except for siren the bird was a full puppet
The hug was apparently shot at something called “mountasia family fun center”, so it’s not just a set!
Willy's Wonderland could have been so much better if they changed just a few tiny things, even just having Nick Cage speak would have improved things.
The point behind the 5 nights games is you almost never see the robots in full on kill mode. You only see them just before they kill you.
The point behind the 5 nights games is that if you don't play them your life will literally be better than if you had

I just knew, when Mike reached under the table: it would be a gun.
Or a bottle of cheap liquor
I'd label Willy's Wonderland as simply "content"...
I feel so bad for Mike and Jay in this episode. I can't imagine having to watch a "movie" so bad that it makes the fucking Banana Splits movie seem good in comparison. Damn guys...I'm sorry.
Really? They get paid to do this shit.
My god, seriously. Hearing them say the script was even "competent" and that there were character arcs, how fucking bad IS _Willy's Wonderland_?!
Nick Cage is just trying to amass enough of a fortune to last him all eternity in his pyramid.
Or you know, to pay off his debts.
@@luiginastro8831 thats a cover so no one steals his wealth from his tomb after he passes to the spiritual realm
@@thelegalsystem They should make a straight to dvd movie about his life as revenge.
I once had a job demolishing a Chuck E Cheese with a sledgehammer, and it was the most cathartic job I’ve ever had.
Did everyone get to have a swing at the animatronics or did they draw names out of a hat for the lucky worker?
epic win.
Not a job but an adventure.
This remember´s me to "Don't Hug Me .I'm Scared", one of the most beautiful things you can find on CZcams
Mike saving Rich's family photos from the trash is real love.
I feel like the Nic Cage movie would've been better if he still *easily* killed the demons, but then had surprised Nic Cage reactions every single time. Just a recurring gag like that
I like the way he is in the movie tbh.
He just acts like a silent videogame protagonist. LIke, no reaction, completely arbitrary behaviour based on rules he's been told etc.
Nicholas Cage not acting like Nicholas Cage is the single worst thing that can happen in a Nicholas Cage movie
I love that they complain about stuff in Willie's wonderland, were answered in film, cages character was a kid whose friends were killed by the animatronics, he HAS to play the pinball on his required 15 minutes breaks otherwise he can't kill them due to the rules of the ritual and he drinks soda because it was his favorite brand as a kid. I love these guys, but its pretty obvious that they'll just watch something once and not even pay attention while "watching" it.
