- Mike and Jay go down one of the most unexpected rabbit holes of all time! It’s the Kyle Gallner Triple Feature Spectacular! Brought to you by Vudu™ and Loot Crate™ and Quaker Oats™! Mike loves Vudu. It’s an interface his rotting, elderly, dementia-ridden brain can comprehend. It’s where he watches his movies and loves to click on the little pictures and see what other movies people have been in. This time, Mike saw that Jay’s old friend Kyle Gallner has been in 3 movies in the past 6 months or so. Mike watched the three most recent films and got a little something out of each one. He wanted to share them with Jay. And then with you, the internet audience. Are these movies destined to be classics decades from now? Probably not. They are lower budgeted quality independent films that make a heartful attempt at something new. Plus they do not have the words Clown, Shark, or Exorcist in the title. Did billions of people go to see them like the Barbie movie? Or Oppenhomie? Nope. But you can watch them on streaming for a low, low price and get a little bit of enjoyment in your sad lives for a tight 90! Or put them on a “to watch” movie list when the inevitable fallout drought of entertainment arrives as a result of the strike. Mike and Jay give these three films a fair shake, enjoying them all for the most part. Plus as an added bonus, both Mike and Jay tell stories from their brief but terrible experience on movie sets. Mike also pitches one of his worst movie ideas yet! Everyone can have a laugh at the expense of others! So open a cold frosty beverage of your choice. Sit back and relax. And prepare to watch two brain dead bumpkins from the mid-west struggle to form sentences out of their mouths filled with cheese curds, beer, and wallpaper paste. It’s the Kyle Gallner Triple Feature Spectacular!!!!!!!

What a strange thing for Kyle Gallner to wake up to.
"well if there's one thing I've learned from your story, it's that if Kyle Gallner is in any way upset about our video I know that I could kick his fucking ass"
Some people only dream about a one hour video giving positive vibes about their body of works, but others dare too… dream
Who?
He'll be a guest on Best of the Worst in no time
He finally woke up!
Petitioning for a future video of them just talking about their "Extras" stories.
In animated form
@@drunkleosteus7868Bad idea, since no one (in perspective of what they usually get in views) watched their recent animated video.
Ohh yeah. I almost forgot about that.
Yes.
Need to hear about how Mike got on the live-action Thomas the Tank Engine movie
Mike: I don’t have dementia yet
Also Mike: forgets Kyle Gallner’s
name DURING the Kyle Gallner episode
Is there a weekly Star Trek crossword we can crowdfund to keep his gears turning
Mike's dementia is so bad he forgot he has dementia 😢
@@StephenParlow That actually cured his retardat- I mean dementia
That’s not Dementia, just alcohol induced memory loss.
episode? Excuse you. Triple Feature Spectacular!
If this doesn't evolve into a Kyle Gallner guest appearance on Best of the Worst, we riot.
i mean... there is a strike right? what else he got going on???
@@heyyoitsmebrian ya but super low budget movies are exempt which I'm sure he wouldn't mind taking part in to keep busy.
Who?
@@heetsees how do you change the channel on this thing? Ah screw it I'll just keep watching.
As Jay was Kyle's stand-in for one day in A Nightmare on Elm Street, it would be funny if Kyle replaced Jay for one brief cut scene in a BOTW video...
I'm sorry but Jay's recollection of Kyle Gallner back to one line from Wet Hot American Summer is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen
Wow your pretty easy to impress. Be careful out there!
@@babyhear the jerk store called, they ran out of you
@@SenoSasquatchI WAS IN THE POOL!
lol don’t be impressed! That’s just how Jays brain works. He probably can’t remember what happened yesterday😂 Love you in a totally platonic way Jay!
His hair gives him superpowers.
I love that RLM is so comfortable with their steady audience that they can make videos like this with a title that will never show up in any search in a million years.
I know I missed it!
I'm personally only here for star trek trivia
When Kyle Gallner accepts his Oscar, he better thank RLM.
To me at least, finding that picture of Kyle Gallner standing next to Jay would be like finding the original recording of the Wilhelm Scream
Or possessing all of the Dick the Birthday boy photos!
A CalArts prof named Craig Smith actually found the original Wilhelm scream session earlier this year
Wouldn't it be more like finding Rich Evans childhood photos?
Also, surely the Wilhelm Scream tape is in archive somewhere... they wouldn't keep using a copy of a copy of a copy, the quality would be unacceptable by now
yeah, it's supposed to be a guy getting bitten by an alligator@@MPKampersand
Didn't they actually find the original recently?
Jay's growing out his pandemic level hair again like he's preparing to quarantine at home again. What does he know that we don't?
I wish I could grow my hair out like that though. I've been balding since I was like 24 lol.
I call it his TGIF hair.
It's not Jay, it's Kurt Russell
He likely knows what many suspect to be true. Quarantine and shutdowns are the wave of the future.
It has spread to the deer, soon it will infect every animal and they will come for us.
This guy deserves a triple A role somewhere. His range, intensity and ability for comic timing remind me of Gyllenhaal, but he brings his own unique thing. Dinner In America is an absolute gem of a film too, everyone should see it
I like the way Jay is slowly transforming into Obiwan Kenobi and Mike is transforming into Watto.
Holy shit 😂
LMAO
You mean Kuato?
Slowly? Mike has been Watto for 4 decades now.
I'm always happy to see Crustpunk Siskel and Ebert refuse to talk about what's popular. Lights a candle in my curmudgeonly soul.
I thought "crustpunk" was for shows about gonzo pizza-makers?
Crustpunk 😂
“No one would have guessed the Kyle Gallner Triple Movie Spectacular!
Mike Stoklasa, a man prone to hyperbole and falsehoods, has for once said something that couldn’t be more true
Redlettermedia once again keeps us guessing. Bravo!
Rlm focusing on this guy, whoever he is, is more predictable than an Rlm Daniel Day-Lewis episode.
Agreed. I never know what these guys are gonna get up to, but you could have given literally a million guesses and I wouldn't have gotten it.
Just thinking about the Kyle Gallner character from Veronica Mars is repulsive, horrifying.
When watching RLM, the chances of a Kyle Gallner Triple Movie Spectacular are low, but never zero
Watching Mike hint at some past event is like trying to get your teacher to talk about their life so that they’ll forget about the homework, except I actually wanna know
Sometimes teachers have genuinely interesting stories. My teacher got a tattoo from Whang-od, a legendary Kalinga tattoo artist here in the Philippines.
Imagine being Kyle Gallner and pulling up CZcams and seeing that your favorite internet review show uploaded a new video and...oh Jesus.
If you like Kyle Gallner, don't miss out on "Dinner In America." It's a slightly strange black comedy and Gallner is magnetic in it.
Came to say the same thing. It's genuinely one of my favorite movies of the past decade.
The just did a review for that movie.
YOU WERE RIGHT ❤
I'm happy they're atleast trying to keep up the pretense that there is still an ongoing story for Half in the Bag.
There is???
There isn’t???
There was???
There???
ther?
Not even a quantum AI will ever by able to predict what’s next for half in the bag
Not at 36 cubits it wont.
We need more cubits!
That's because ai is fundamentally built on logic.
@@aarondavis8943Unfortunately, some stupid intern replaced all of the qubits in the machine with Q-bits and now the computer thinks Joe Biden is living in Guantanamo under orders from the clone Joe Biden, who is also JFK jr. (I think I made that up, but I doubt it). Also, if you know of any intern positions at IBM, I'm looking for a new position suddenly.
@@trainman222y78Well, I wouldn't say THAT...
Kyle Gallner totally deserves more work that’s recognized. I’ve seen him in several great films that received zero publicity and he was GREAT in them. Totally underrated actor. I’m glad you’re giving him platform.
E.g. Dinner In America
I was laughing my ass off every time it cut to “Legacy Artist”
Mike comes up with the best euphemisms
I really appreciate the statement Jay makes early on about the nature of the video. I was fully on board for a piss take but I'm even more on board for a genuine appreciation of a lesser known actor.
I was initially concerned about that too. While they’ll call out bad acting if they see it, they’re too considerate to ever just outright mock someone as an individual for an entire episode. So I suspected that if they were highlighting the same actor across three movies, they wouldn’t just be mocking that actor.
The Bruce Willis thing was an unusual circumstance, but even in that episode they didn’t really insult him or disparage him, they just didn’t understand why the movies were doing what they were doing.
I'm glad they did to especially cause this video helped me appreciate that ive seen this dude in multiple things before and hes been pretty damn good in all of them i just never placed a name to the face.
Ahhh yes! I was waiting for when they'd do the Kyle Gallner triple feature Spectacular!
Honestly, I was surprised and excited and then deeply suspicious of how they’d gotten into my mind.
I'd like to see more Kyles in movies.
It's like "uh finally guys!" For real
These guys are so fucking predictable.
I shot, edited and produced Mrs Claus the movie shown at the end. Man did the distributor make an awesome poster that had nothing to do with our film. They even changed the name to make it seem like a demonic Mrs Claus movie when it was always meant to be a who done is slasher.
Loved the experience I had working on that silly film. Thanks for the mention! Sadly the distro screwed us, and we haven’t made a penny off of it to do a sequel.
With that said we were mostly all horror fans and tried our best with what we had. Made it with ten thousand dollars, and somehow finished it. I’m proud of it, but I can see how it’s considered a bad movie.
Hilarious that the completely forgotten 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street was basically Jay's Joker origin story
one thing I appreciate about RLM is that they can make positive reviews just as entertaining as their negative ones, I feel like a lot of creators rely a lot on the catharsis of hating a piece of media to get anything going
It's things like this that really show how nice their dynamic and editing is
With all the catty, middle aged woman style of passive aggressiveness on Wisconsin men have - idk if you can call this a positive review. It’s a nice review, but these guys certainly are not positive
@@ChrisLentikEh? Jay ends by saying he thought all three were good. They talk about all the little things they liked in each one. They were absolutely positive. Don't confuse positive with effusive.
A lot of media review channels aren't actually media channels, they're reactionary political channels with about 5% of the film knowledge of a single member of RLM
Thank you mike for making Jay tell the story instead of me never going back to the commentary track.
Ditto
Yeah we would have had to find someone explaining it in the comments otherwise.
@@Twarex01 "What does the article say? Let's check the comments for clues!"
coming back to this after their dinner in america episode
Kyle Gallner better be careful that he isn't mistaken for a tiny toy skeleton.
So how long do we think it'll be before Kyle Gallner is on an episode of Best of the Worst?
I mean, famous celebrity Rich Evans is on the show, i bett Kyle's dying to get to meet him.
He'll just end up silently sitting in the corner, looking distraught.
A year from today...accidentally.
@@davidthorson2036 - He'll be Jay's stand-in.
@@aserta Rich Evan’s? You mean Dick the Birthday Boy?
RLM really knows how to chase that CZcams algorithm. Finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist.
Speaking of "Legacy Artists", I have to say I admire Nic Cage for using a stage name so he could make it on his own as an actor instead of plunging headfirst into nepo baby territory. A lot of people wouldnt refuse to ride along on that family clout train.
Not acting related, but I respect that Joe Hill (Stephen King's son) decided to use Joe Hill as his pen name instead of Joe King. Joe Hill is actually a very good author in his own right, and has his own distinct style.
To be fair, if he kept the name Joe King he'd only end up writing comedy stories
@@MrEnKayeyou got me, that was good
@@cyborgoftheyearKing even did it himself, publishing as Richard Bachman to see if people would still read his books without the recognisable name on the cover.
@@paulj6805wa
Every once in a while we get one of these chaotic energy fueled bizarre extras story episodes, it's like witnessing a shooting star
It's like witnessing a shooting.
I used to be MySpace friend with Kyle Gallner. Dude was cool as fuck and would always message back and forth on his work on Smallville and Veronica Mars and such. Cool guy.
Simpler times
I used Facebook to show a girl my weiner once
Surmplur turms
@@TheTuttle99Surplus towers

Mike forgetting the name of the whole content of this video after an hour talking about it is one of the most iconic moments
Showing his age.
I love to think that the film crew that Mike was working with was intentionally fucking with him. Like they saw him drive off to the gas station and were giggling to themselves like "ok he's in the bathroom, quick get on the radio and say we're coming back"
I was worried for him so I'm pleased it was a nice positive show which Kyle's mum might enjoy...the real one he didnt try to drown...
“How long has he been here? 10 hours? Alright good now we cut the entire scene”
Dinner in America is easily Gallner's best role. Great film.
I like how it’s apparently a recurring theme in RLM that they just walked off sets where they were extras or other small roles
Their utter disdain and disinterest is the perfect antidote to our increasingly grossly parasocial world.
Yeah I just noticed that as well, I remembered when Mike and Rich Evans were at that fun fair for a Drew Barrymore movie and also left. To be honest if what they say is true and I have no reason not to, it sounds like extra work is fucking slavery... no idea what the hourly rate is on those gigs but pretty sure most extras work for next to nothing some of them even volunteer and they are working for around 12-14 hours a day it sounds pretty horrendous.
You can definitely see why they started their own business.
@@artofsamit’s not that bad unless you’re trying to make real money doing it. Then it’s very difficult because there are a zillion good actors.
Shows you how badly extras are treated tbh. Mike, Jay and Rich can leave because they were doing it out if curiosity. If you're an actor trying to work your way up then they get away with some awful treatment
I'd never thought about Kyle Gallner a single time till now, but I immediately recognized his face. That's a classic character actor for you!
Who?
Beaver from Veronica Mars
Colin from Jennifer's Body
Same. He stole every scene in The Shield and I still couldn't place him until looking at his IMDB.
I finally got it! He was in Smashed, a movie I watched while attending outpatient treatment for alcoholism! I don't remember anything about his role, but I am coming up on 6 years sober!
i think Jay is secretly signaling with his watch to save him from half in the bag set.
on a rare occasion when these guys talk about their past it's like putting the mike and jay puzzle together...very cool.
I would like more half in the bags like these where they feature an actor thats not well known but really good.
And we should win prizes for watching.
No. Thank you.
@@MrChang-eo1bqyou’re right more marvel movies for me I wanna hear them talk about the blue beetle and not anything unique
@@TitankroW that’s what “Jay and Mike Talk About” is for.
@@MrChang-eo1bq Thank goodness nobody agrees with your stupid opinion.
Mike looks like he just took his yearly shower.
Yeah, he looks more pink-ish than his usual canteen red skin tone...
He's too lazy for a yearly shower; He just makes sure to get arrested once a year for public inebriation, gets held over for unpaid parking tickets, and sent to county jail, where he gets hosed down. It saves him the effort of actively showering.
He went to Wendy's.
Nah, he just cleans himself like a cat every few months.
@@rexmundi2986 "I wash myself with a rag on a stick".
I have never been more excited for an RLM video. I love Kyle Gallner as an actor and I think he's so underappreciated. It's nice to see him get some recognition.
Dropped into the comment section in the hope of seeing a comment from Kyle, or his agent, or lawyers......
YES! I can finally put my finger on it. California Syndrome! Celebrities and actors don't know how real people act. Epiphany
the lives of the wealthy are so different from ours, they couldn't relate to us even if they tried
These look like real movies. No cinematic universes or brand recognition or corporate tie in lunch boxes and video games. Just a damn movie.
The Passenger is an awesome movie saw it last night.
@@jamiefugazi6974 second this! the passenger is for sure worth the watch
Big day for gallnerheads
Mike telling us to not skip the ad actually convinced me to not skip the ad, so kudos to him for increasing their income by a couple of dimes and a nickel or two.
Now ya gotta get Kyle for Best of the Worst
obviously the plan all along
Met Kyle once on this small production shooting locally. Couldn’t be a nicer, more humble guy.
Was Cartman there?
What's up Kyle?
Thought that was going to be a Limmy reference for a second. Was he very down to earth and very, very funny?
@@hobbitronicRIP Benny Harvey
I’m way nicer and much more humble
I'm watching Passenger now because of this, Kyle Gallner is great in this one
Kyle Gallner is the ultimate "Hey I know that guy!"
Time to watch two guys from Milwaukee talk about 3 films starring an actor I’ve never heard of!
LOL this was entirely filmed in Utah, right by Robert Redford's home. Good call, guys.
Mike's stories about being a movie extra are always extremely entertaining
Met him at SXSW years ago when I helped to promote his movie Cherry. Very nice dude, and was the first person to tell me the classic "No One Will Ever Believe You" Bill Murray story.
Gotta get Jay's picture up there with Dick the birthday boy.
I hope Kyle Gallner gets to see this video, he seems like a cool dude and would kick out of this… also funny Nightmare on Elm Street story
Can’t wait for the next Kyle Gallner half in the bag catch up episode
Jay has gone through such an excellent personal style arc over the last several years
They also forgot to mention that Summer Phoenix's brother, Joaquin is married to Rooney Mara who starred as Nancy in the same Nightmare on Elm Street film as Kyle Gallner! Jay is connected to everyone!
And Jay is starting to look like Jesus, which is a name that starts with the letter J.
@@travismcnasty4239Ooooh you’re right! Like J for Jeff Bridges, or Jeremy Renner, or Jay Baruchel! Do you think Jay’s related to one of them?
Mike forgetting Kyle Gallner's name half-way through talking about Kyle Gallner's performance in a Kyle Gallner-centric episode, after saying his name about 50 times prior - a clear sign of an early onset of elderly dementia. @57:12
"early" onset
The true hidden gem of Half in the Bag is the video descriptions. I'd buy a nice coffee table book collecting them in fancy calligraphy.
That gives me an idea...
I smell a Kyle Gallner guest spot on Best of the Worst coming. It’s gonna be super awkward. Can’t wait for that episode!
It took me half the video to remember where I know Kyle Gallner from: like twenty years ago, he was the mass shooter from an episode of Cold Case! A super memorable role (and episode).
I don't know him, but wild that he's getting highlighted like this, he's in the BIG leagues now. He has an RLM episode dedicated to him, putting him with the ranks of Bruce Willis, John Carpenter, David Lynch, William Shatner, Neil Breen...
Definitely one of Cold Case's best episodes. Man, it's nice when other people remember that show.
Neil breen lol
Me, personally, I liked the part where Mike and Jay spoke.
I clapped when I saw them.
Great episode. I watched it twice.
Me, personally, I felt like they explained too much.
I'd rather watch 2 hours of them staring at each other uncomfortably.
I KNOW WHAT THAT IS
RedLetter inspires me.. My parents said if i get 50K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging.
When I saw this thumbnail I was scared he had taken a left turn and done something crazy but no he’s just holding it down with some good performances. Love it. Hope to see him on the show sometime!
If anyone wants another film rec. that has Kyle Gallner in it, Dinner in America came out a couple years ago and is worth the watch.
I don't know who he is, I've never seen any of his films, but I'm more than happy to watch these two hacks talking about him.
Dinner In America is pretty good 🍻
@@mabusestestamentI liked Cherry more than I thought I would.
You just know "legacy artist" is gonna start showing up in very defensive interviews.
I was living in LA in 2012 and one of my friend's boyfriends was directing a movie and she got all the aspiring actors we knew to go in for auditions for the lead role. They wound up casting Kyle Gallner. It was called ZenDog. Weird movie.
I remember seeing Kyle Gallner in an episode of The Walking Dead and thinking "oh hey, that's the guy who played Impulse on Smallville" and since then i've seen him pop up in a bunch of different things everywhere. I really hope he sees this video, this was great 😂
Mike has become what he hates. An old man saying, "oooh what is this movie on Vudu with Tom Selleck and Bruce Willis". I just hope they forgive Rich Evans for crossing the striker's line.
Jay's hairstyles deserve their own spotlight episode at this point.
Only like...ten seconds in. But i gotta say: Jay, your hair is GOALS.
I think the first thing I ever saw Kyle in was The Haunting in Connecticut, which is a decent horror film from what I remember. Dude definitely plays a pained character very well
I can’t believe I didn’t realize until now the effect the actors strike would have on this channel
They just got through the pandemic and now there's a strike. Next thing you know, Moonfall is gonna happen but for real and THAT will be blamed for movies.
There’s still movies coming out that wrapped up filming last year or the beginning of this year. They’re just not reviewing them😂. They haven’t consistently reviewed new releases for a couple years now
@@jabrokneetoeknee6448 Yeah, they've been burnt out with theaters for several years now.
If the Hollywood strike continues, the lads will be reduced to doing a review of The Batman.
Honestly Gallner was the one standout of the rebooted nightmare movie to me beyond the star obviously. I did laugh at his emo face mixed with the joy division shirt but I thought he was good and always remembered him. Glad he's getting some attention.
I cant wait till several years from now when we get the Kyle Gallner triple feature spectacular part 2
I added the NightMare on Elm Street credit on Jay's IMDB page instantly
The only channel perfectly situated to wait out the strike
I enjoyed the films. Especially The Passenger. He reminds me a lot of Jeremy Renner, specifically his mannerisms.
We really need a Milwaukee ghost investigator series starring mike
My favourite thing, is when rlm uploads and it’s something that nobody asked for. It’s always a surprise with you guys
A few weeks ago, I saw the Flash. And I decided to look up who played him on Smallville. It was this guy, and I recognized him as the boyfriend from Smile. I then went on a deep dive on his filmography for some reason, thinking I’d be the only person to ever do so.
…or so I thought. 🙃
Love Kyle Gallner! Can’t wait to watch these 3 movies. If you haven’t already, please check out another one of his indie films called “Little Birds” with Juno Temple, it’s so good!
Nicholas D'Agosto showed some serious comedy chops in "Trial and Error" opposite Lithgow. Solid spoof of "The Staircase" and "The Jinx". 7.8 on IMDB, not sure why this series didn't get more attention! I'd put it right up there with Parks and Rec.
Theres something very wholesome about mikes love of vudu
Hey, don't knock it, Vudu is a great service. As much as I don't usually buy/rent digital movies, on the rare occasion I do - it's through Vudu.
Wholesome / slightly passionate
He’s such a boomer
Isn't it Walmart?
@@CraigTalbert yeah, unfortunately. They bought it or merged with what it was 6idh years ago maybe? But you used to be able to buy blurays where you got the digital version free on Vudu before that.
This actually could be a fun format for a spotlight on various actors and their progressive work
your sentence was so great until I hit the misplaced and baggage-laden word "progressive"
@@odigityyour sentence was good until I hit the extended and overly verbose word "baggage-laden"
@@odigity is "baggage-laden" like "bin-laden"?
These reviews also give a new light with modern American indie films. A24 to me is juuust there but smelling their own farts while most great "indie" films in other countries are distributed by big companies in their respective countries. So a genuine modest budget film wave distributed by Freevie type streaming services is welcoming and hopeful to tear away from the overly budgeted indie feel films that Hollywood exploited
I just watched The Passenger and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I probably won't watch the other two, but I'd love to see more of this type of content exposing lesser known films to the RLM audience.
Its crazy how you definitely know this guy from at least one thing. I'm not a horror guy so I didn't really recognize this dude from anywhere but there was something familiar, and it all made sense when Mike mentioned his role in Smallville, of course he was the little Impulse!
The video descriptions are one of my favorite aspects of RLM lately.
Mike talks about himself like he talks about elderly people on BotW
It's funny, he is such a random actor, but he is very recognizable to me as well. I somehow knew exactly who this video was about upon seeing the title and knew he was in Jennifer's body and Veronica Mars.
I think this love stems from the fact that Kyle Gallner looks like the handsome version of Shrek from The Last Vampire On Earth, one of the greatest films of all time.
At some point Kyle Gallner's going to tell a story about the worst day of his life and it'll relate to some ungrateful pissant that didn't show up for his stand in part.
I love that they have basically abandoned the idea of _Half in the Bag_ being about reviewing mainstream new releases and have turned it into "Mike and Jay talk abut whatever (which occasionally includes major new releases)".
It’s strike content
permanent general strike please
it's a terrific podcast
Loved how wholesome this was. Never heard of Kyle Gallner, so I assumed he committed some horrible assault or scam. Pleasantly surprised it was genuine appreciation for talent.
I think you need to revisit your idea of what 'wholesome' means, if you're applying that word to RLM
favourite video of yours in a while. please do something like this again. one actor, one director or writer or something and just good low budget movies
I appreciate that Mike dyes his stubble grey to project the gravitas of an even older man.
