Desperate weirdos in the woods would watch it
I saw Victor Lucas (from Electric Playground) interviewing Freddie Wong (independent filmmaker) a couple weeks ago, and he said something similar.
As a writing exercise, he likes to challenge himself. So he asked himself "What if Disney asked me to make a solo Jar Jar movie?" He gave it some thought and concluded that Jar Jar was a tragic figure, who swore a life-debt to Qui Gon Jinn, and then not only did he let Qui Gon die, but he was manipulated by Palpatine into contributing to the deaths of the entire Jedi Order. And then, he's best buds with Darth Vader, the most evil bad guy in the universe (also manipulated by Palpatine). There's story potential there, it's just drowned in hatred for the character of Jar Jar, so nobody ever looks.
He said that by the end of his movie, he'd make you cry for the death of Jar Jar.

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Councillor Jar Jar the Gungan?
Na, that's the han solo movie. Phantom menace was already basically a solo jar jar movie.

Without Jar Jar the empire would have never been formed meaning episodes 4-6 wouldn't have happened. You could argue Jar Jar saved Star Wars from being 6 movies about tension between the senate and separatist over the taxation of trade routes

Would you say that Jar Jar is the key to all of this?

A Jar Jar movie would be more interesting than a Han Solo/Yoda/Boba Fett movie at least.
All Max Landis ideas sound like an edgy teen writing film scripts based on fan theories and the TV Tropes page for deconstruction. I'm not surprised he'd say that.

As long as it has a scene of him like drowning himself in alcohol while staring out a window as it rains.
"meesa never wanted this. Anni wasa good guy. Anni was meesas best friend. Now yousa gotta drink the sorrow away. Long live the empire"
Agreed. At least when its mediocre fan service it wont be ruining beloved characters.

I'd watch a Jar Jar movie about his dark and painful bitter sweet redemption.
I'm a bit late with this.

Not going to disagree, I haven't been watching much recently. But I've come to the conclusion that if in the end Previously Recorded gave me nothing but that The Order 1886 review, it was ultimately worth it.

I can't watch yet but John DeHart was Geteven and Neil Breen was KFC DoubleDown, correct?

Holy shit. This may have been one of the funniest BOTW episodes ever. I was laughing so hard at all three of the movies.
Rich Evans vs. Alien was the icing on the cake. Everything about this episode was fantastic. The jokes, the movies, the running gags. So great.

Holy shit at these movies! And finally, an episode where I don't immediately know what will win BotW.
has rich studied german in school or something like that ?
he pronounced like every 4th word correct, which i think is to much, if he was just guessing.

I immediately thought of the Room when they mentioned the black tank top. I was shocked they didn't show it.

I'm wondering when they will set a Patreon goal for people to pick films for them.

i recall them saying that they've had people begging them to watch films before and I think they refuse to watch them because of that. I think they just expect the films will be too mainstream or vanilla compared to their 'refined' tastes.

They are too smart for that. They won't ruin the show for extra money.
hmm, not a pure black tank, there's some print on it, but close enough
YK Kim didn't make that movie focused on his own character so I don't count it in the delusional category.

Hello, doggie.
That theory is gaining too much traction.

The songs were sweet tho. Although I guess not everyone can be a Shakespearean actor like DeHart.

This was an amazing fucking episode, probably the best I can remember watching. Just consistently great throughout and none of the movies were merely "really weird, but dull".
Also I kept thinking about Time Crisis when I saw them watching The Sweeper.

Surprised it took so many years after the breakup with Jessie to be removed finally from the BotW intro.
Also, the Wonder Woman review was bad and the complaining about diversity is becoming a sad pathetic joke.
I barely watch rlm stuff anymore.

Was there really a breakup? As far as I remember she doesn't show up anymore because some fans got really creepy with her.

What was the intro with all the bleeping referencing?
Admiral Woofington

Wasn't sure at first and still am not entirely sure, but after the episode I just assumed they went back to re-record the intro and add a bunch of useless bleeping and mouth censoring to make fun of all of the censoring Jay had to do this episode.

Oh shit I didn't even realize it because I rarely ever look at the intro lol.
I have no idea. Maybe what they talked about wasn't actually funny, so they bleeped it to attempt to make it funny?

Colin, you sick fuck.
By day FOR night - as in, they filmed it all in the daytime and then colour corrected to make it look like night time.
Oh okay, I guess that's a movie term I didn't know.
I know that they have referenced it in films they watched on BOTW before, it seems its a cheap way of getting night time shots without the need for actually filming in the dark. Must be quite common in low budget movies.
