My fear for Guardians of the Galaxy is that it's just going to be, "People loved the first movie so let's just do the exact same thing again." I'm not sure if their review confirmed my fears or not; It sounds like it's more of the same but escalated?

I can only speak for myself but that's more or less how it is. It's a Rush Hour 1 to Rush Hour 2 type sequel.

This is pretty spot on. If you loved the first one, you'll probably just like the second one because it somewhat feels like you've seen it before. It still has everything you dug from the first movie, only you've seen it already.
Drax, Yondu, and Mantis are the real standouts.
So it's a typical competent sequel from what i heard

I loved Rush Hour 2. Really didn't enjoy 3. But aside from a few jokes that fell flat, my entire family loved it.

Cast looks good, but aspects of it look too boilerplate. They acknowledge things are part of the source material, but the marketing makes it look like your typical "save the world" plot.

I liked Rush Hour 2, and GotG2 to an extent, too. It's just they both felt like declines from the previous entries and coasted on what worked before.
Getting around to listening to their review, surprised I'm agreeing with Martin and Goodwin as much as I am. Nodding when Goodwin brought up Pratt's try at dramatic acting...yeah, not great. Really liked Pratt in the first movie, but he honestly seemed bored in vol2.

Jesus they weren't kidding about the credit scenes.

Rush Hour 2 felt like an improvement almost across the board though. Improved fish out of water scenario with Chris Tucker in Hong Kong, several better / longer Jackie Chan action sequences, better pacing, a better final set piece and "stunt," bringing in Roselyn Sanchez and Zhang Ziyi, and that wonderful cameo by Don Cheadle.
I wish they hadn't messed up as much as they did with Rush Hour 3....

Yeah, I gotta agree with the majority of the group towards Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Especially Goodwin and Martin, where it just barely squeaks by getting bumped up a notch. Watching the third act I just kept wishing it would scale itself back. Something I know I'll be saying all summer...

I barely, and I mean barely, remember Rush Hour 3 at all. I can tell you Hiroyuki Sanada is in and it's set in Paris...that's about it.

The solid white suit with the patterned shirt and solid black tie has me TRIGGERED. His suit in the intro is nice, not sure why he doesn't go with that.

That gif was my exact reaction. I had went and made a snack, grabbed a beer, and was ready for some DT foolishness. Then I saw Will and went back to my subscription box for an alternative. lol

Wonder why. Nothing controversial or anything. I think the criticisms of the show might be getting to him cause that's what it spends 50% of the time dealing with. It's either "Y'all don't get it" sketches or alluding to it in the opening segments. No, I get it. I just don't find any of it very funny.
The one sketch he did at the beginning was kinda weird cause it lampooned the idea of starting a podcast and being an internet contrarian. It mentioned not liking Rogue One, thinking Batman v Superman is actually a masterpiece, and that Marvel films have a formula. What didn't work for me is that it had a smarmy tone, which really doesn't work when you're making fun of yourself...unless he was talking about other people? THAT I didn't get lol

Damn was the latest Will show *that* bad?
Just caught the Alien and Aliens episode of "Sammy ain't seen sh*t". That moment where Sammy talks about how he thought how awesome of a character he thought Vasquez is (strong Latina woman soldier) only to find out that she was played by a jewish white lady. And then being confused on if he should be offended or not.
On "Toast to Toast". I watched all of them, but they really are not very good. I want to like it but compared to the other DT content it lacks charisma. The comments are really (and overly) harsh, but that is partly Wills fault for challenging them.

The thing is, you can be a contrarian if people respect your opinions generally. Like, everybody makes fun of Martin for thinking Spiderman 3 is good and disagree with him, but he can actually articulate his reasoning and it isn't totally insane. Or when the Korey's both liked the Resident Evil move, but didn't try to argue it was a great piece of art.
When you're basically two steps from being Armond White, it's not entertaining anymore.

Aww that sucks. Oz is a fun guy to listen to, him and Korey had great on air chemistry. Maybe instead of Skype just have Korey and someone else in the studio, and then Oz call in? Other shows do that.

I thought their chemistry and humor came through fine to be honest. I hope it comes back.
I liked it too. Didn't mind the lower quality sound, but I can see how that would bother Korey in the long run.
The only issue I had is that usually Oz's voice would only come out of my right earphone, and I'd have to put my phone on mono for the soundcloud version of the episodes. That happens when Korey plays videos too, but it's not as bothersome than during a full conversation.

Da fuck is up with the comments section on this? Did they get brigaded or something? I know Youtube comments are bad in general, but DT's are usually decent.

Give it 6 months to a year. Peeps on GAF are gonna love this movie.
well I tried watching the Guardians of the galaxy review and that ema watson movie review, couldn't find the appeal, I guess I was waiting for something more condensed and less long I guess, there might also be some of the cultural differences from me not being in the U.S that I dont find this that appealing

Even though I hated the trailers and am no Ritchie fan, the reviews kinda tell me that I might enjoy this movie. I don't know, I think I just want to see Jude Law ham it up as an evil medieval prick, lol. I'll wait for the home release though.
