Korey really needs to ease up on the use of "some people" when he is bringing up points about a movie that can be seen as negitives. Who are these people? 2 commentors on Facebook?

I'm still skeptical as hell, but this is good.

How many times did dude dig into his "massa" voice? Hate watching him review movies with black folks in them. It's like a switch that requires him to coon the fuck out..shit is tired as hell, and Martin just laughs it off..
Well....I guess I'll watch this tomorrow.

He says "some people" and "a lot of people" often. Seems like a bit of a habit.
at the very least when hes way off the rails with it, everyone else tends to go "who are these people?"

You should leave a comment on their site, but I guarantee you that they'll chuck it up to it being "satire", and will also state that "you laughed and didn't complain about the other times where they made fun of other races, but you're now butt hurt since it your turn". Every time someone complains about an offensive joke, this is usually Korey and Martin's go to comment.

I kinda feel the same way. In a way it indirectly diminishes the films he's reviewing.
Yeah I've been bothered by that and other race related things for a while. They ain't going to correct themselves though until they feel it for themselves.

Martin has felt it for himself though that's what makes me saddest. He's been "fuck the police" for better part of 20 years

And why would I want them?
i had to look him up because I hadnt seen him since We're The Millers and was thinking "oh come on, I dont remember him looking that villainous" and straight up the first picture of him on google is him in serial killer lighting
He was actually the original choice to play Pennywise in the upcoming IT movie. He's a good actor. He's great in The Revenant.
Stoked to see Detroit. Huge fan of Kathryn Bigelow
WHat does he do?
Is he that guy that's usually really just loud and disruptive when reacting to things? I usually watch their videos mainly in recent months and just recently started listening more to the podcast aspect again so I caught the one where he gets chewed out, but I guess haven't seen much of the other behavior that led to that.

As someone who's 7.5 out of 10 Girtses white, Korey making that voice makes me a bit uncomfortable but I certainly don't know what to think about it.

Send him feedback! If a lot of us do, he wont be able to just chuck it up to being satire.As someone who's 7.5 out of 10 Girtses white, Korey making that voice makes me a bit uncomfortable but I certainly don't know what to think about it.

I didn't't noticed it, but now that y'all point it out, he has been doing that more frequently recently.

Naahh, I'm not one to mandate how people should speak or joke. I just feel the satire is a bit lost on me and you can see both Martin and Goodwin get visibly uncomfortable.
Then I just don't understand. Especially when he co-signs it, and sometimes (in less troubling times on the surface) throw a diss or two at those trying to have that dialogue.
I always remember Felix for this
Other than that, I don't think I ever hear him being disruptive or anything, but I mainly stick to their youtube videos lately.
Yeah, and he does it a lot more than the clips you've been watching may lead you to believe. It's one thing to just boisterously laugh at every joke, but he wants to act out for the camera, throw in the occasional commentary.
He chilled out for a while when Korey first threatened to ban him from the studio... That only lasted for a couple of weeks, I think.
Good thing Andrew Wilson doesn't live close enough to visit on the regular. He's easily a dozen times worse than Felix.

"Andrew shut the fuck up!" was a running joke at one point in time.

Yup..

And that's what makes it pretty much unwatchable for me, when the subject is black folks. I've noticed how unapologetic he is when pulling that coon shit, yet goed out of his way to apologize when it's the other way around. That "people say" shit has is practically on some FOX News shit with the dude. I get it..they're in Texas, and don't want to "fuck with the money" I guess.
I just don't feel the need to partake if that's gonna be game..fuck that. They ain't THAT funny..

I think they take social media too seriously. The media in general does too. Two knuckleheads saying some bullshit on Twitter or Facebook doesn't warrant a mention or a "People have been saying..."
It's easy to get in Korey's head though lol

I agree that he fears being seen as one way or the other..he just prioritizes at times in a way that is straight nonsense.

In that last quote, the person is talking about Felix and how he acts out.
I think I dismissed your comment too quickly earlier. Especially since other people feel the same way. I agree you should email him about it, as should other people. CC Martin too.

If we all email him he might at least stop doing it quite so much.

Even Fake Danielle isn't having it.
I don't think it's they, I think it's 100% Korey. I can't think of a comic book review that didn't have him drop in some DC vs Marvel, with him saying "Those DC Fans hehehehehehe" in that shrill nerdy voice imitation he does.... which he also uses for every single complaint.
Basically, he needs to take a chill pill on the self defense since anything that seems to differ from his opinion, he treats as an attack including from his coworkers.

Korey definitely seems more defensive about his opinions and concerned with his authority than in the Spill days. Maybe it's the live show format with a studio audience where he feels the need to defend his authority and opinion in front of live viewers.
Although even Cyrus, Martin, and Co-host make fun of him for being defensive a couple years ago

Y'all their review of Kidnap makes me wanna see it. Holy hell I'm in tears right now lmao
As much as I've cringed at this nothing tops his mockery of the autistic kid.

They're spot on with it being a rental type movie. You'll regret paying more than $2.99 to see it. I just had to see it cause that ridiculous trailer has been on my radar forever

FYI, podcast is back on iTunes so you don't have to do a soundcloud RSS workaround to get it working on podcast apps.

Facebook is being slow and dumb. Is he joining DT or is he just guesting for a show?

Mofo was on the live show for last night, didn't get to watch it so here's to hoping they actually post it this time. I believe he was just there as a guest .
Edit: Apprently, both of his parents had cancer after the spill closed. Thankfully they're doing much better now.

This has been bothering me for a while, but with the recent Nick Robinson thing I was reminded of it. This site/podcast keeps getting praised quite often in many places on this board...so the one or two times I listened/watched it I was pretty disgusted by it. I believe it was around the time of the Assassin's Creed review. It was that episode or one near it(they have many shows and I'm not sure which one I tried). The main host(Korey?) invited a listener/business associate and his girlfriend on to promote something in a segment. Then he proceeded to repeatedly hit on and discuss the girlfriend and how attractive she was, insinuations etc. My memory of it is extremely uncomfortable.
Am I completely off?

Of course I get that he's joking. It still weirds me out that the only woman on the episode was treated this way.

WHAT!!!
Omg!! Wait is he returning or just guest starring this one time??
Great news about his parents eiher way.
He almost treats attractive men identically.
