With how much random shit the guys from RLM have been in: Dick the Birthday Boy, Bozos Clown Show, Background extras in rom coms, I'm convinced at this point I'm going to pull out my family photo album and they're gonna be in there too.
HOLY SHIT! When I was a kid, in rural bumfuck Australia, there was this VHC I watched over and over, it was a lady doing magic tricks and singing songs etc. It is seared in my brain but I never could remember who she was or the show. We only had one episode recorded off tv. When that Lambchop puppet flashed up I nearly had a fucking stroke. I'm nearly 30 btw and haven't seen the show since I was 4-5 years old. Thank you for solving this mystery I never new was plaguing me. The quality of our tape was so bad, I always thought the puppet was a poodle or something
@Lumos OMFG THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO! For us it was year 5-6, Australia, (ages 10-12) and we were all brought into the hall to watch it! It did me dirty too, I thought periods were a 'one and done' deal because of the cartoon. Like, I thought it would happen once and never again, I was so mad when I found out the truth haha!
6:58 Even as a child Mike had to be the most jaded and aloof person in the room. Even in the presence of Bozo the Clowno he was the only one who couldn't muster a smile.
@dan green season four was the culmination of Dexter, and it’s the last truly great season I agree. I wanted to like New Blood, but it really wasn’t that great. The first episode was good. Then after that it was really slow, but then ramped up way too fast like the writers were rushing to the finish. It was way too convenient how Angela found out about Dexter being the Bay Harbor Butcher. Especially when you consider one of the big things that leads her to linking him is the ketamine, which is different from the drug he originally used (he used M99). Dumb thing is the writers even seemed to know this and called attention to it in one of the episodes of New Blood. Setting that aside the way the finale played out was pretty bad. I didn’t like that Dexter killed Logan, and it didn’t even seem in character for him. Also the way Batista was shoehorned in for a scene making it seem like he was coming to confront Dexter only for it to not happen was just lame.
@Michael Glatt my only problem with the ending was that i wanted harrison to have a happier ending. Really they popped their wad in season 4, no one was going to stack up to Lithgow. Until they brought Brown in for new blood that is. Dexter largely depends on how good of an actor a given antagonist is.
@dan green eh I don’t necessarily fully agree. As a season New Blood was better than season eight, but that’s a pretty low bar as season eight was so bad. The series finale to New Blood sucked. Also really while New Blood was okay it had a lot of problems throughout.
I am very envious of Mike for his Packers zipup, it looks incredibly warm. To survive the frigid Wisconsin winter I have to assume Jay's installed a small fireplace into his shirt.
Love that they gave 'I Think You Should Leave' and Tim Robinson a shout out. Insanely funny and shit that I would show friends and be the only one laughing.
Mike may only have paid fifty cents for that coat but it’s now heavily screen-used wardrobe from the fairly popular web series Half in the Bag. So it’s now completely worthless
Really digging the thumbnail in the corner. My flighty brain can't keep a title in my head and hear a review at the same time. It's nice to be convinced to watch a movie and not have to find where in the review you said the title. Top notch QoL improvement. A+, 5 stars, give a raise to whoever thought of this.
Horror being my least favorite genre, i sorta sigh outloud when literally a third of their content is edgy over the top horror that only jay would care for.
When I want advice on good schlock, I go to Mike, when I want a movie that is like a fevered acid trip, I turn to Jay. Without Jay me and the Wife wouldn't have The Greasy Strangler in our life.
I actually was a little fuck-up who only got two buckets in the grand prize game. Went with my third grade class in 1988... exact same Bozo and set, and I'm pretty sure I'm close to Mike's age, so probably within a year or two of his visit. My life since then has in fact been an endless streak of failures and never-even-tries, so I've probably been underestimating how much of an impact that goddamn game had on my life. The little girl after me got four buckets. I assume I was relentlessly mocked the entire trip back to the burbs. I don't remember that part, but of course that part wasn't shown on WGN for my dad to tape so I could have the memory reinforced over and over for years. I won a skating rink birthday party (never used), a plastic toy tractor (not the farm kind, the tractor-pull race kind), a face painting kit (never used), and a frozen pizza and box of PB Max candy bars (definitely used those).
I love how Bozo is casually mentioned in conversation and then before we know it, Mike goes on a 15 minute flashback with Jay as his therapist recounting his childhood trauma from the Bozo The Clown show.
@MatAle Albiach You, sir, have righted a historic wrong. Also, I agree about Amish Jay. There's no way of knowing if that was a clone or if current Jay is just a figment of our imagination...
There is a secret bonus episode of "I Think You should Leave" on Netflix, hidden in its precursor series "The Characters". Tim Robinson's episode earned him a whole series.
I watched this video last night, not really sure what a Gyro was. Today, walking past a sandwich shop near me there is a huge sign saying 'Gyro Cafe!' Out of nowhere! The power of Half in the Bag to shape our environment!
@wolfumz no he didn’t. If you _think_ about the actual facts it makes absolutely no sense that he’d be able to kill himself. Only a naive and disinformed person concludes that the official story is the true one.
@Por0d0mulle he killed himself. If you look at the facts around his hanging, there's no real explanation for how someone could have gotten into his cell and killed him. It doesn't hang together. However, people are generally misinformed and confused about what federal prison is actually like, so they buy into it.
The thing I love about I Think You Should Leave with Tim is that it turns the social humour on its head in some sketches - where the rest of the group takes the side of the funnyman and starts turning on the straight man
‘Lamb’ was my favourite movie of the year, and I don’t typically like slow burns. It’s so interesting to hear someone have the exact opposite problem with the film.
@Guilherme Titane, the laughably bad, try-hard, edge-lord french-shlock. Did it "move" you? 🤣 I bet Jay covers it in part 2, and makes it sound more interesting than it is.
He also played a minor role in an animated segment of Cyanide & Happiness.... I don't know if it's a fail or a success when you can get who the voice actor is the millisecond the character speaks?
god i remember watching bozo as a kid and having the exact same reaction as mike, until i played an arcade game that was the same basic challenge and could never get past like 7 or 8. it's harder than you'd think!
You could just sit on a chair in a room together with these two and they completely ignore you but you shit your pants laughing with that special chemistry they have. Such a joy to hear them.
The reference to the Rich Evans boobery in The Cleaning Lady has ended my long, long search for the movie that held the funniest piece of destructive slapstick I have ever had the privilege of witnessing. I remember watching that movie during an RLM christmas livestream, years ago, and laughing to tears. I've always wanted to see it again but I couldn't for the life of me remember what movie it was from. Now I know. If you need me, I'll be laughing so hard I will die of dehydration.
I loved that very last frame of Saint Maud. It WAS the perfect punctuation for the end of that film. As someone that grew up in a Catholic family, that went to Sunday School and was an altar boy… then grew up and took World’s & Comparative Religion courses in college and came out the other side an agnostic atheist (meaning I don’t believe ANY of the religious shit I was taught as a kid but I also don’t think that any of us can possibly know the truth without a shadow of a doubt, but *still* lean on the side of “this is all we have here on Earth, and we should be the best people we can be and make the most of it while we’re here”. I think this was an excellent and terrifying movie that shows how dangerous someone can be when they fully believe they have the power of God on their side and that they’re doing the right thing and you’re going to hell if you don’t do the same. It’s on Hulu if you wanna check it out. I think it’s a good watch.
They filmed Saint Maud in the town I live in! Scarborough in the UK. I saw them film one of the many scenes where she's walking past the foreshore as I was driving by. Was so pleased with the final result and glad to see Mike and Jay appreciated it too!
Mike got all the way through the Lucille Ball segment without mentioning that Lucille Ball helped get the original Star Trek show produced???? WHAT THE HELL, MIKE?!
I was so happy they talked about ITYSL. Thats my favorite show. But seeing the grandpa outfit out of nowhere made me almost spit-take. Without the build up it just killed me laughing so suddenly.
23:09 reminds me of Sorkin’s style for the 2015 Steve Jobs movie, where it’s just small snippets of his life rather than focusing on his whole life story
You two are the first people I've heard talk good about "I care a lot". My girlfriend had it on and I was walking by the TV and sat down to watch a little of it and I was enthralled by it completely. Everyone that saw this movie hated it but me
Watching this after seeing the end of Dexter I felt exactly the same way, the last two episodes really just fumbled what it felt like the entire season was trying to do(redeem or condemn dexter).
I remember watching "I Care a Lot", and the only thing I can remember other than the premise at the start was thinking it was pretty good until they fucked up the ending. That's all I remember is being dissatisfied with the ending, but I don't remember why, or what happened in any of it.
I havent seen most of these and im sooo glad u mentioned stuff that I was thinking about seeing but not having that energy, but now I wanna see some of them
Thanks guys, I love these episodes. These are films I'll look into. I'm pleased to hear De Staat in the trailer for Netflix's I care a lot. P.S. I miss hugging, that was one of my best moves.
