Oh God, this is great.
Oh jeez, Mike seems so Midwestern here. He just can't talk about how he doesn't like Me Him Her. It is so great.
EDIT: Holy fuck that ending.

It looks like Mike is jacking it the entire time.

Should we refer to Mike as "Back Pains" now after all that bending over backwards he does for Landis?

I think it was a good review, but yeah they seem to be a lot of reservation because of their friendship.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Mike seemed like he was on painkillers more than usual, lol.
That seems like a weird one to try and review though, not sure who the audience is for what seems to be an edge-tacular romantic comedy.

Mike sounds like he is fighting off a cold. His voice sounds different.

the fuck
since when does youtube have mid-video ads? I've never had this happen. My god damn FUCK MOVIES got ruined by an ad after the first review.

Is their 10 Cloverfield Lane review spoiler-free?

they're never spoiler free.

No, they completely spoil the shit out of it. But, they tell you the exact timestamp to go to to avoid it.

just skip to 16 minutes in where they get to rip on Max Landis's shelved movie (from 2013 on, apparently... and marketed by himself, hehe).
eheheh.

It makes sense to put a commercial in between segments though. All 'Tubers do it when their videos are long. In RLM's case most of their review videos are about two or more movies so why not put one in between them?

Im glad jay didn't try to be nice simply because they now know the guy now. Mike was trying fumbling around his words so hard trying to say nice shit about it and fake shocked at Jay for not liking it

Yeah, that part did irk me.
I take this back, I get Landis can be a charming guy, but how can they take back the great and valid critic, they did for Victor Frankenstein and American Ultra. they 100% had issues with the script. I still love the guys but they should really steer clear of reviewing their friend material.
Boy yeah, I just saw that.
That was probably the lamest thing they've ever done. All that setup to their critical review. You can't set yourself up as this overly critical, nihilistic, destructive review show and then have like 6 minutes of OUR BUDDY MAX AND HIS MOVIE AND HE IS OUR BUDDY AND BOY WE NEED TO SET HTIS UP SO HE DOESNT GO ON A TWITTER TANTRUM AGAIN

Probably too much Sheev in the upcoming Plinkett review. It's corrupting Mike.

Holy shit, I just realized Jay's intro to 10 Cloverfield Lane references the Plinkett/Nadine saga. How did I not realize this until just now?
I'm actually with you on this. There was a lot of problems, casting and an uneven tone especially, but there was enough entertainment in there for me to honestly say I enjoyed it.
I had a good time with this week's Half In The Bag, and completely agree with their take on 10 Cloverfield Lane. Great 95% of a movie.

Yeah, I got that part...I guess I'm pretty dense.
Having friends who have made a variety of things, I'm more inclined to be forgiving of the flaws of their work than if I were to come across the material without any connection to it. I think Mike and Jay did well critiquing it for what it's worth. Jay seemed more comfortable saying negative things about ME HIM HER than Mike, although I think they made it clear they didn't care for the movie.

Huh, given how they liked to talk about first time directors, I'm really surprised they didn't bring up Trachtenberg at all.
Speaking of first time directors, have they even reviewed The Witch yet?
I don't believe so.
Nope.

He's seeing the movie tomorrow.
Mike was on meds that episode.
I like how Jay made it obvious with the close ups he had to himself.

Mike really held back on Me Him Her.
Rimon-hanit

Well what is he supposed to do? just let his project die. I would call it more desperation than zeal.
Could have asked for, like, a month or something at least.

He definitely got more attention on it than the average 'sent to die' straight-to-video movie though.
In itself it's an interesting experiment in comparing the efforts of some random guy to the efforts of big companies.

What was the last twitch stream with Jay? The Xcom one?
