Have they said which movie it'll be? The rumor has been The Matrix for as long as I can recall.

What? No! How can it not be Ishtar?!

The only things I can think of as a candidate are Star Trek into darkness and the new Star Wars if it is terrible.
Or boyhood.

The Space Quest stream was probably my favorite one previously. This should be fun.

Heh, LSL2 is rather infamous for two reasons:
1) You just sorta stumble into the plot, as Larry wins a cruise, is handed the macguffin, and decides to escape the cruise for some reason. The aimlessness of its intro is only outclassed by Space Quest 3.
2) Even by Sierra standards, LSL2 has some cheap deaths. Particularly in that cruise escape I mentioned. If you don't pick up all of the right items in town (and keep in mind, you won't know what you'll need until you need it) during the invisible time limit, the segment is unwinnable, so you have to restart. And there's a few items during that segment that you can only use at one specific point.
They were getting really sick of the game before that. They got up to the dating show portion, and were commenting about how it wasn't even a game anymore, just bad writing that the writer blatantly knows is bad but continues to write anyways, and a few hours previously when it was pretending to be an adventure game, it barely even qualified as one.
They were seriously talking about quitting the game, and then *yay*, it starts pretending to be an adventure game again. It's not fun, but... (and Jack admits that he has nothing after "but..."). They're just continuing for the sake of continuing.
Then the spy plot is revealed, and on the one hand they're so starved for anything to happen that they're happy to see it, but once they realize that it was just dropped on them by the writers, with no actual "gameplay" to speak of, they just gave up and quit the game.

There's a movie on her Wiki page with the same name as one of those porno films they were listing off in the "Psycho from Texas" review. "Kept". I don't know if it could be the same one though.

Old Plinket reviews are the answer, of course.
Went through all Star Trek reviews and I'm watching Avatar now. Too bad it's only 20 minutes.

I want to watch Wheel of the Worst with my friends, and we watched a random episode since we love RLM. We picked this one.
It was glorious.

Has it even been confirmed if in Wheel of the Worst 5 that they staged the order of the videos? I say this because the reaction to when they get SOS 3rd feels really fake and acted. It feels like it's what they got first, realized "there is no way this isn't winning" and shot new footage to make it the last film.

Considering the format, I have a hard time believing that most of the picks in WOTW are genuine anyway. You never know how many takes it took them to get the video they wanted to see and all that. In the end, it doesn't really matter to me, as most episodes are pretty enjoyable. The only time I was pissed that they rigged the pick (and showed it), was when the wheel stopped at the Aladdin movie with Buds Spencer and Mike pushed it to Gymkata. I really wanted to see their reaction to that movie and it never came up on the wheel again. Goddamnit, Mike!

I can't imagine that they actively decided to land on Ice Dams in WotW 7. I mean.... it's Ice Dams.
Plus, S.O.S was on the Wheel in episode 4 as well, without landing on it.
I'm not saying that there isn't some sort of "fix" in play on certain occasions, but I do believe that there is at least some level of randomness to it.

I agree with both points, I imagine they like to keep it as random as possible, though sometimes they may have to reshoot/edit things in a way to keep suspense over what will win/lose.

I think it's pretty much a given they are manipulating results especially if they get all 3 being absolutely not very interesting videos. They seem to want to have a balance in there at least by bumping up some of them by going into depth on the speculation a bit and then lo and behold they get it.
They overplayed it, but it was also the most baffling thing on the wheel and pretty much impossible to not be at least interesting. Hadn't they watched the airplane video before that?
I don't see why they'd bother manipulating it off screen when they've added a fourth and fifth video when it didn't work out for whatever reason.

bad gameplay lol
Eh, solo stream. Those aren't very fun. I'll pass this week.
But did it take 12 years to make?

That's over 8% for every year it took to make.
I would lohohove to hear what they think of Fifty Shades of Grey
That seems too obvious

I recently learned that the guy in the book is called "Something Grey". It all makes sense now.
