And yeah, James has already announced that there will be a 'Birdemic 4: Garden of Eden', so get excited haha. You guys have been my favorite channel on TH-cam for years now, so this was such a cool and surreal experience to see myself in an episode. Cheers!
That's cool! What I'm wondering is, ok, Birdemic got a lot of attention so the director made a sequel. Is he really trying to make a good movie or does he refuse to improve is craft because this is what made him famous?
Whoa! You can't leave it at that, mate. I know it was a relatively short scene, but I'd love to know how that dialog was chosen. Like, there's no way anyone could convince themselves that humans actually talk to each other like this, right?
Next time you see James please sit him down him down and force him to watch the movie 'Shuny Bee's Fight of Fury'. Then for 7 hours proceed to tell him in a firm and direct voice while pointing at Shuny on the movies cover - "This man is your superior in every single conceivable way. As a film maker, a director, as a man, even as a father and more so even as a human being. You are not this mans equal and never ever will be. Not even in the darkest fantasy of a goblins nightmare could you be considered this mans equivalent".
I've never had alcohol in my life and I almost fell asleep watching the Rifftrax version of Birdemic. The amusement of bad bird special effects wears off quickly, and most of the movie is not even that, but boring crap like people driving around and having boring conversations. If you've seen a couple of clips of bad bird effects on the internet, that's all you need to see.

Be careful, James Nguyen gets butthurt really easily. About six years ago, he threatened to sue me for ten million dollars because I included a Birdemic parody in my graphic novel. He filed a DMCA complaint against me on multiple platforms and had my work taken off Amazon and most other publishing platforms. I didn't have the resources to fight the multiple complaints he filed back then and eventually had to end the whole series because of it. I hate that man.
That's a real shame. If it were really not only a parody but part of a larger original work and thus transformative, it's protected by at least one clause of fair use, invalidating the DMCA claim. Not that I'm a legal expert or that IP law is straightforward, but these copyright trolls rely on the fear or lack of knowledge and resources of smaller players to effectively commit perjury and get away with it. It's infuriating as both a creative and a consumer. Anyway, sorry your work suffered at the hands of someone who's not only inept but dishonest, and best of luck in your future projects.

@@thesnowmiser6728 Basically just means shitty dojos with senseis who don't actually know what they are talking about and are not that adept at martial arts, generally that give away belts far too easily to give their patrons a sense of progression and keep them coming back each week.
The random scene of a MMA fighter asking Shuny to train him wasn’t an unfinished subplot. It was literally just an ad for Shuny’s actual martial arts school in Pasadena, which is why he says exactly where it’s located in the scene.
I really want to sit down with James Nguyen and watch Vertigo from start to finish. During the first hour I can say, "do you notice how this isn't just a full hour of Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak walking around going up to random people and random people talking about the concept of vertigo? Notice how they have actual chemistry, and they're great actors?"
Unfortunately I was credited has a cinematographer on fight of fury. The process of this film should be a movie within itself and yes there is a sequel 👍🏾👍🏾
@@jakobvanklinken I’ve known Shuny for years and he definitely had a vision. Really inspired to help bring it together but Wasn’t able to shoot the entire project. I came aboard for the last fight scene. All I can say is that the crew had fun despite the logic and technical aspects. I have bts from that day and would love to send to the RLM crew if they do a spotlight on the movie
Mike’s aggressive head nodding whenever Rich is able to decipher exactly what he meant is such a joyous thing to see. Two friends completely on the same wavelength. It’s like poetry…
I used to work at The Oriental and worked that terrible midnight showing! I also worked every The Room showing and saw Tommy sitting alone in the corner of our twinkly majestic 1927 movie palace while people laughed and applauded his suicide. He kept trying to connect with the staff and we kept pretending to be busy. I felt bad but it was also a sold out show. It's like a Twilight Zone where you get what you think you wanted but it is actually Hell.
@@nojakthegemlad Oh, yeah, the first think I think when I see someone in a profoundly confusing and embarrassing moment is to ask them to perform for me, maybe do a little dance for my social media. /s Actually, I imagine a teenager oblivious to their own cruelty doing that, not a functioning, caring adult like Justin here. A reasonable reaction is to not know what to say to him and avoid it. Nah, let's form a crowd around him, that's not psychotic.
It's been a pleasure watching Rich slowly realise that the only way to stop Mike making fun of him is to get in first by insulting himself. Such growth.
Remember how in the 80's, women in movies really were bad at everything? Like 90% of movies with somekind of danger, had women either getting in to trouble or making things worse. Even as a kid I thought it was bullshit. I'm glad it's no longer the norm, that shit was so aggravating.
We have a new record for the shortest amount of time between the start of the episode and Mike's first dig at Rich; I expect this record won't be beaten till an episode starts mid-insult
Even if you die just keep doing it. Like even your skeletons being turned into puppets with Jim Hensons hand up your ass. just keep making these videos.
I absolutely love when Mike busts out a British or Australian accent. It's the worst thing I've ever heard each time he does it and I hope he never stops.
With 2022 and the loss of Leo Fong, it's inspiring to see guys like Shuny Bee keeping his legacy of really awkward martial arts movies alive. Some things just needs to remain in the world.
@killerwolffilms I'm picturing Leo as the old sensei, passing the torch along to the next generation of fighters, (and of course passing the torch along to the next generation of B-movie workhorses) giving the thing several layers.

Yes! Shuny (pronounced Shoo-knee) Bee was my daughter's tae kwon do instructor when she was a kid! We went to a screening of his movie in Portland, Oregon around 2010. Great guy so it was hard to watch his movie in a theater WITH HIM. (I have to correct myself (March 27, 2023). The movie we saw was Gorkha Protector. It had a similar plot but was filmed in India.)

Rich being the only person to understand Mike's Casper joke, then making fun of Mike afterwards, just shows you how long Mike has been laying these terrible puns on Rich since childhood
Rich walks into the RLM studio and checks the shelf for a movie to watch. The camera pans over to The Empire Strikes Back, The Naked Gun, The Incredible Bulk, and Fight of Fury. "Let's see: Yoda, OJ, purple stuff... Oh, Shuny Bee!"
It's an honor to be featured in one of your videos, RLM! But don't worry, I will be back in Birdemic 4: Garden of Paradise in 2025 as Mr. Green. 😉. Side note: That segment of all of us talking about Global Warming all at once killed me!
Yes he really has a knack for always being in panic mode and then saying the most obvious and generic thing because while it would make the episode better, it would be weird for him to be there and not say anything. They all comment on Mike’s propensity for being the contrarian of BOTW, Josh’s comment is by no means an original observation.
Weirdest thing ever, but I actually worked with the guy who played "Taylor Swift"'s father in Fight of Fury. He smelled weird, showed up clearly drunk, and made me so uncomfortable that I rearranged the shooting schedule for the sketch my company hired him for just so I could get him out the door as quickly as possible. He was supposed to be a weird drunk uncle though so it worked out. And he seemed to be happy to have the $50 we tossed his way for less than an hour of work.
Yup, even his first movie, Replica, is essentially the first half of every Birdemic movie, a sappy romantic comedy (with some scifi elements thrown in). The guy is creatively bankcrupt.
It's because you aren't allowed to hurt children, so proper choreography is needed. Adult choreography consists of the choreographer smashing two Lego men into each other and says "do it exactly as I showed you".
Lots of comments about how there have been only two UK films on BotW before - Thunderpants and Xtro. Everyone seems to forget Slaughter High was also British because of the fine cast of English thespians delivering their lines in perfect US accents, putting Hugh Laurie as Dr House to shame in comparison.
@@jeremyphillips3087 You missed the point of my comment. There were lots of long threads when I wrote that comment that only acknowledged those two films. You didn't actually read many comments and/or their replies, did you? Try the one that The Spiffing Brit started.
After so many years of Rich Evans abuse, I would’ve never imagined Rich would ascend to the mountain top and slam dunk himself. Watching his brain kick into gear as he realised what he just said, has me crying.
"We got Rich Evans in a lovely little hooded number from the Berne Corporation. It's in a stunning shade of Navy Blue. Wow even has a pocket to store all of what you store, from your wallet to your Copenhagen. Simply amazing!."
James Nguyen shot Birdemic 3 on a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K. As soon as I found out, I messaged him and offered to color grade the film totally free of charge, as I use that camera on all my work. He never got back, and I was laughing at how bad the color grading was in the Final Cut.
it's exponentially getting stronger he's now referenced at least two very recent things in one video: the guy remixing their videos and the Seinfeld AI stream
That AI News Anchor at the end reporting on the deeds of Rich Evans kind of freaked me out... is this RLM testing out a new way to replace the cast members as they die out from movie poisoning?
I was gonna make a "Daniel Day-for-night Lewis" joke, before realising that none of these movies used that, they were just so bad that it felt as though they should have! 😄
"Why are you wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt?" "I just grabbed a t-shirt." Implying that the modern day Greek Adonis, Rich Evans, habitually goes around the studio shirtless and only wears clothes for filming. You TEASE, Rich Evans. YOU TEASE.
*Everyone else:* "Man, TH-cam's rules are getting increasingly strict, we really gotta watch what we say." *RLM:* "What would be a name for like a Tinder for pedophiles?"
50:40-51:45 might be the most I've laughed at anything since the Osteoporosis Dance. I was laughing hysterically for a solid two minutes while replaying "Goodnight"
59:00 Jay is straight up telling us (at least his) editorial process for when they do these roundtable discussions to the movie. It's actually pretty fascinating. Makes sense, too - load all the footage as they progress, special care by that episode's editor, and then have the roundtable discussion be the last bit of business needed before finally getting through everything. What this implies is that there's a little bit of ingress before the gang gets together to film that last section of the video, as Jay would have had to fix up a bit more of the setup to be able to put the entire movie in the editing timeline and skim through it and THEN get the roundtable. I'm guessing that BotW, normally is a whole day thing and roundtable is normally held at night.
Yes, BoTW is typically an all day long activity, from what I understand, and a fairly grueling one at that. It's why you don't see guests that often, it's a real test of endurance.
They’ve made small comments previously that there is a large time gap between watching the final movie and the beginning of the discussion. I don’t remember what episode it is but I know that someone made a comment in the past along the lines of “Before [the discussion] we were talking about some other shit for several hours”
Seeing Mike getting increasingly drunk during the show is just the funniest thing ever. I also loved how it took the combined brain power of all four of them to make some sense out of Fight of Fury's story. And the "What....what....what..." moment around the 45 minute mark....just golden! All in all just a great episode, thanks guys.
@1:04:35 I am always happy to hear Jay talk about the technical aspects of filmmaking and editing. Lots to learn in these little tidbits. You can tell he takes the craft and the art seriously.
It's kinda validating as a very basic editor that there are movies sold for money that have more technical incompetence than movies I made in middle school

Rich being the only person to understand Mike's Casper joke, then making fun of Mike afterwards, just shows you how long Mike has been laying these terrible puns on Rich since childhood
Mike seems so happy this episode, glad the lobotomy worked out😌
Yeah, I heard he had to go to Canada for a combination detox/psych isolation therapy.
You misspelled “booze”
Mike inside his head: "I hate slides"
Noticeably impaired Mike
Was about time. The proceduee took place in 1999.
oh hey Josh’s Bjork shirt. Finally we get another woman on this channel in like seven years
yeah what happened to the last one? she just didn't want to be stuck watching bad movies for eternity or something?
@@geovani60624 Something something internet fans are creepers and put her off something something.
You are forgetting Susan who's been here from the start.
@@MrStath1986 well, the basic then
There was also that comedian who seemed to be flirting with Jay.
Rich walks into the RLM studio and checks the shelf for a movie to watch. The camera pans over to The Empire Strikes Back, The Naked Gun, The Incredible Bulk, and Fight of Fury.
"Let's see: Yoda, OJ, purple stuff... Oh, Shuny Bee!"
Was a real walk to get to the end of this joke, but a walk well worth it. Cudo’s good sir and/or madam
How do you not have a thousand likes?
Take your upvote and leave.
Huh?
Absolutely perfect. This should be the pinned comment.
It's an honor to be featured in one of your videos, RLM! But don't worry, I will be back in Birdemic 4: Garden of Paradise in 2025 as Mr. Green. 😉. Side note: That segment of all of us talking about Global Warming all at once killed me!
Can we get a list of all the times they say "this is the worst movie we've ever watched" and make them crown a top one.
If I had more time, I'd definitely want to create that supercut myself.
No need. It’s always the most recent one.
Yeah, didn't they say the same about "The Jar"?
and The Amazing Bulk
and Things
and Wicked World
and Feeders
and Shark Exorcist
and Robowoman
The Tomb as well!
1:09:52 Josh's delivery of "You're gunna vote for it, aren't ya..." is just perfect.
Yes he really has a knack for always being in panic mode and then saying the most obvious and generic thing because while it would make the episode better, it would be weird for him to be there and not say anything. They all comment on Mike’s propensity for being the contrarian of BOTW, Josh’s comment is by no means an original observation.
Rich's laugh is some combination of Mickey Mouse, a parrot, and an air raid siren.
What a terrifying concept. Rich’s laugh as the sound you hear during the nuclear apocalypse.
@@TheMaritimeHorror one day, it will lead a team of apocalypse refugees to safety. Now that's a pretty noble laugh.
21:21
Look man, no lie, I can't hear Rich's laugh and not smile. Buy you are also 100% correct.
@@ZiggySA oh I agree. Rich’s laugh makes my day better.
Mike: "It's literally the worst thing I've ever seen.."
Josh: "You're going to vote for it aren't you?"
Mike: "Oh. Yeah..."
Wait, is this the explanation behind American politics????
Well, it is called "Best of the Worst" after all...
Some people just want to see the world burn.
He had to FIGHT himself at the end there. He just couldn't bring himself to give the clown crown to Birdemic.
@@RisqueBisquet Yeah there's a point where even his trolling won't allow him to go.
making a dumb but original premise for your movie then just going "and also there's a serial killer" is so funny
"Oh my God, sex traffic!"
"How did you get in here?!"
I'm dead 💀
The destruction of so many copies of NUKIE has left not only a sizeable hole in my heart, but also sizeable hole on their wall of VHS tapes.
I noticed that too. It's almost sad.
And probably a hole in someone's budget.
They probably cleared that space on purpose so they have more space to add more tapes!
Maybe they'll get 200 more copies of Skeleton Man
Don’t worry they still have many copies of that blade rip-off movie wall
Shout-out to "Mike S" for providing us with those Star Trak clips to help explain filming techniques.
Has anyone else noticed the sword the woman uses in the first film is Aragorn's sword from Lord of the Rings? That was the prop they had lying around.
No joke, every time Rich starts laughing my dog starts barking, thinking there's some kind of weird animal outside.
Weirdest thing ever, but I actually worked with the guy who played "Taylor Swift"'s father in Fight of Fury. He smelled weird, showed up clearly drunk, and made me so uncomfortable that I rearranged the shooting schedule for the sketch my company hired him for just so I could get him out the door as quickly as possible.
He was supposed to be a weird drunk uncle though so it worked out. And he seemed to be happy to have the $50 we tossed his way for less than an hour of work.
Shuny Bee is one of Fred Armisen's best characters, glad this gem from Portlandias cutting room floor got a feature.
I knew he reminded me of someone!😄
That was my first thought and I'm really surprised nobody in the episode mentioned the resemblance.
@W650cultmember
Love the avatar, reminds me of when I was 20 and looked 40 😉
I love how the Birdemic franchise is just the director trying over and over to get his idea right but getting WORSE every time.
So the reincarnation of Don Dohler?
Yup, even his first movie, Replica, is essentially the first half of every Birdemic movie, a sappy romantic comedy (with some scifi elements thrown in). The guy is creatively bankcrupt.
He's the new Amir Shervan but even more egregious and much less entertaining.
he is not trying to get his idea right, he just makes a purposely bad movie to earn a buck.
the yin to Breen's yang
The RLM crew were more crazy than usual, Mike doing the goodnight cleveland bit was so funny.
Reminded me of Mike's great AC\DC impression.
Guh-niggh!
"Watching a movie on your fu**ing phone?" Well done on the Lynch reference, Josh.
Such a sadness
BULLSHIT!
That was shunny bee’s actual daughter 😂 amazing chemistry for only having weekend custody
Tbf she probably did Learn some cool fight moves
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!
And it wasn't even supposed to be his weekend, but the ex had other plans and his parents refuse to speak to him after the divorce.
I don't think it's said enough that jays editing is some of the best on TH-cam
MIKE WENT TO TAKE A POO
That ad break before Birdemic 3 is the funniest thing I ever saw.
The kids' fight scene at 44:20 is better executed than like 50% of adult fight scenes in BotW movies.
It's because you aren't allowed to hurt children, so proper choreography is needed. Adult choreography consists of the choreographer smashing two Lego men into each other and says "do it exactly as I showed you".
Breath of the Wild movies?
@@hongquiao Best of the Worst 🙃
Lots of comments about how there have been only two UK films on BotW before - Thunderpants and Xtro. Everyone seems to forget Slaughter High was also British because of the fine cast of English thespians delivering their lines in perfect US accents, putting Hugh Laurie as Dr House to shame in comparison.
Don't lie. No one's commented about the lack of UK films.
Let's not forget the incredible instant adoring boyfriend, and of course the unforgettable Juice Man and his foldable trampoline
ABSOLUTELY their accents was immaculate takes on British- New Jerseyisan Americans.
@@jeremyphillips3087 You missed the point of my comment. There were lots of long threads when I wrote that comment that only acknowledged those two films. You didn't actually read many comments and/or their replies, did you? Try the one that The Spiffing Brit started.
@@rzeka Absolutely. A good few Brits on the Wheel of the Worst!
the child randomly rapping out of nowhere after doing those sick moves on a public fountain got me
After so many years of Rich Evans abuse, I would’ve never imagined Rich would ascend to the mountain top and slam dunk himself.
Watching his brain kick into gear as he realised what he just said, has me crying.
Like 5 minutes in and "Kinder" is one of the best jokes Mike has ever made
It was good for sure, but I still think "you want something slimy that smells terrible? How bout my diiiick" is his best work
There's nothing quite like wanting to make a pun and realising immediately that the universe has supplied the perfect one!
I love the middle aged hoodie runway show they decided to put on
"We got Rich Evans in a lovely little hooded number from the Berne Corporation. It's in a stunning shade of Navy Blue. Wow even has a pocket to store all of what you store, from your wallet to your Copenhagen. Simply amazing!."
rich is even wearing two!
Birdemic 3 does not deserve such lovely cover art.
Vincent van No
Ha! Was thinking the same. That's an awesome painting
Probably bought it from shutterstock or something
James Nguyen shot Birdemic 3 on a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K. As soon as I found out, I messaged him and offered to color grade the film totally free of charge, as I use that camera on all my work. He never got back, and I was laughing at how bad the color grading was in the Final Cut.
I still find it hilarious that if you go through the backlog you can watch Jay suck the youth and vitality of Mike and Rich as the years pass
I dunno, I feel like Rich is aging like a fine cheese. Turning into a zaddy, that one. Meanwhile Mike is slowly losing it!
it's exponentially getting stronger he's now referenced at least two very recent things in one video: the guy remixing their videos and the Seinfeld AI stream
Josh too, they all get older and Jay keeps on getting younger
@@RevoltOfAges It's the secret cigarette or coke diet
I forget which one of you fuckers said it, but the best comment I've seen about this was "Mike is the painting aging in Jay's attic."
wow the CGI Rich has really come a long way, hard to believe he's been dead for 5 years now
His crippling diabetes took him from us too young.
He's actually laughing from Heaven, there's just no way to stop it getting to the microphone.
Deepfakes are getting scary real 😳
As somebody watching from the UK it brings me great joy to hear Josh say the word 'chav'.
That AI News Anchor at the end reporting on the deeds of Rich Evans kind of freaked me out... is this RLM testing out a new way to replace the cast members as they die out from movie poisoning?
Jay has simply outdone himself with this one. A new classic episode
I haven’t acted in anything since 8th grade, but Birdemic 3 makes me feel like Daniel Day Lewis
I was gonna make a "Daniel Day-for-night Lewis" joke, before realising that none of these movies used that, they were just so bad that it felt as though they should have! 😄
"Why are you wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt?"
"I just grabbed a t-shirt."
Implying that the modern day Greek Adonis, Rich Evans, habitually goes around the studio shirtless and only wears clothes for filming.
You TEASE, Rich Evans. YOU TEASE.
Fight of Fury is genuinely one of the most insane vanity project movies I've ever seen. Miami Connection meets The Room
I hate you so much that's completely true.
29:36 - I'm glad they haven't forgotten about Len Kabasinski, I wish they'd do more with him.
He has appeared in the top comment thread!
my friend julia is the lead in birdemic 3; seeing her show up in a red letter media video damn near gave me a stroke
That's quite fitting since everyone in that movie acted as if they'd had a stroke.😉
She's a TERRIBLE actress!!! Lol. Is she aware of this obvious fact? 😂
The disappearance of Josh the wizard's fragrant, well-conditioned beard is a great loss to all of us.
Oh THAT’S what felt off…
I think it's gonna be back in the next few months
Mike smelling Josh's beard was one of the funniest goddamn BotW moments ever!😄
People always talk about Rich's laugh, but Jay's is highly underrated.
Mike making Jay laugh is one of my favourite commodities in this world.
He’s got that Ed McMahon laugh
Good to hear they’re still friends with Len Kabasinski
We want him back on the show!
Bring back Len!
I thought Len was friends with everyone but they just didn't know it yet.
*Everyone else:* "Man, TH-cam's rules are getting increasingly strict, we really gotta watch what we say."
*RLM:* "What would be a name for like a Tinder for pedophiles?"
Kinder
Every bit in Mega Lightning with the sword; all I could think of is how no one mentioned that it’s a prop of Aragorn’s sword from Lord of the Rings
When they revealed that they were watching Birdemic **3** I audibly went "It happened AGAIN!?!??"
Mike doing that “GOOD NIGHTTTTTTT” absolutely kills me
39:00 that powerful monologue was completely overpowered by the sound of her eevee shirt screaming.
Rich screaming WHAT!? over and over is my new ringtone
That's the greatest idea ever.
50:40-51:45 might be the most I've laughed at anything since the Osteoporosis Dance. I was laughing hysterically for a solid two minutes while replaying "Goodnight"
The return of Mike's AC/DC voice from Hereditary HitB.
21:01 Rich unknowingly doing a spot on Pinky impression
Which one - The one from Pac-man or the one from DOOM?
The one with the Brain
@@MFSeaMen so the one from doom? Shoot him enough times and you’ll see it
“Watching a movie on your fucking phone” Love how nobody reacted to Josh subtly quoting David Lynch
It's such a sadness
Josh must carry such a heavy load.
Damn, I totally forgot about that quote despite watching that video yesterday. It was too naturally acted haha
Get real!
Jay farted.
59:00 Jay is straight up telling us (at least his) editorial process for when they do these roundtable discussions to the movie. It's actually pretty fascinating. Makes sense, too - load all the footage as they progress, special care by that episode's editor, and then have the roundtable discussion be the last bit of business needed before finally getting through everything. What this implies is that there's a little bit of ingress before the gang gets together to film that last section of the video, as Jay would have had to fix up a bit more of the setup to be able to put the entire movie in the editing timeline and skim through it and THEN get the roundtable. I'm guessing that BotW, normally is a whole day thing and roundtable is normally held at night.
Yes, BoTW is typically an all day long activity, from what I understand, and a fairly grueling one at that. It's why you don't see guests that often, it's a real test of endurance.
They’ve made small comments previously that there is a large time gap between watching the final movie and the beginning of the discussion. I don’t remember what episode it is but I know that someone made a comment in the past along the lines of “Before [the discussion] we were talking about some other shit for several hours”
@@LonelyMarshtomp Its the ROTOR and Robot Jox episode. It was Jay yelling "We talked about ROTOR for four hours!"
I love how they still figured out a way to get Star Trek into the discussion, without discussing it.
Thank God for "Mike S" sending them that footage!
And Jay hates it so much, he misspelled it on purpose
That Bjork shirt is SICK!!
Andrew beat me to the punch.
Yes it is!!
How did I know I would find you here? XD
I thought that it was Mickey Mouse ?
I thought it was Michael Jackson
These films have really inspired me to make my own movie. Seriously all you need is a cell phone and a Halloween store.
Just when you thought "Dick the Birthday Boy" would never be topped, Rich Evans delivers more foot-in-mouth gold.
That wasn’t a foot.
@@namelessjedi2242 And the gold is well...take a shower afterwards.
Funny, I always thought Dick the birthday boy would be topped.
@@namelessjedi2242 Hey, it was cold, okay?
the submisive elerly man now evolves to publically expose himself to feel control, good for him!
I really hope the sequel goes in depth into how one of the kids from the kids fight got the nickname "Giant Mouse"
I thought Giant and Mouse were two different kids.
edit: Yeah, there are three kids: Charlie, Giant, and Mouse. 44:12
@@davidw2739 Must be the way the line's read because I also thought it was Giant Mouse.
@@davidw2739 you might be right so instead maybe we'll get an in depth revelation into why Charley doesn't get a nickname whatsoever... Poor guy
Seeing Mike getting increasingly drunk during the show is just the funniest thing ever. I also loved how it took the combined brain power of all four of them to make some sense out of Fight of Fury's story. And the "What....what....what..." moment around the 45 minute mark....just golden! All in all just a great episode, thanks guys.
Forget The Batman: THESE are the new hit film reviews we’ve all been waiting for
Yay!
We all love to see Rich's grandma style phone case.
@1:04:35 I am always happy to hear Jay talk about the technical aspects of filmmaking and editing. Lots to learn in these little tidbits. You can tell he takes the craft and the art seriously.
"This director issss suck."
- Mike Stoklasa, 2023
I love that "translate to English" turns "This director issss suck" into "This director sucks"
"This is sucks" -Jack
@@RipOffProductionsLLC
It's amazing that it can perfectly translate 'Milwaukee Ghösthunter' into English.
"That was suck!"
Rich is so used to being the punching bag, and seeing insults coming, he now intuitively insults himself.
It's kinda validating as a very basic editor that there are movies sold for money that have more technical incompetence than movies I made in middle school
I once made a 5-second stop motion video in junior high, and these movies make ME feel good about myself! 😄
