I would love to one day be a director who is close friends with a pair of critics who hate all my movies.
David Oakes
Fair point. But he's off to a great start! :P
z beeblebrox rip
That sounds amazing, and I’m not being sarcastic. I’m not.
minor caveat: I would love to one day be a director who is *not a horrible human being* and is also close friends with a pair of critics who hate all my movies.
@@z-beeblebrox Ahahah. Props to you for remembering your comment 5 years later
Whenever you review a Max Landis film poorly he gains another hair colour.
the electromagnetic spectrum is bound to run out at some point
we'll find new wavelengths for Maxi boy
Classic.
Hes a good sport about it at least unlike others
@@Kameratyp We'll have to stop him before his hair begins to emit gamma rays.
"i actually liked Victor Frankenstein"
Jay's face is of seeing a dead friend in front of him.
+It's been fun but i'm glad it's over Victor Frankenstein is campy fun right up until the last third. Then it gets boring.
I kinda did as well. The camp was fun.
What an awkward relationship these guys have with Max Landis
SugaryCoyote i would expect more positive reviews if thet was the case
+Bryan Minaya Didn't they shit all over him in their American Ultra review? Now they say it's more towards their taste? I'm confused.
Mike Cronin more towards their taste compafed to this movie.
+SugaryCoyote Source?
They're actually all billionaires with their fortunes stashed in the Caiman islands. They pretend to be lowly VCR repair men to get some more green from the "cool kids". Rich Evans runs his own slave plantation by the Red Letter Media shoe factory where he uses his shrill voice to scream "Keep working YOU FUCKS!!"
I like how Mike is trying to save Max Landis' friendship during the review while Jay just doesn't give a fuck
This aged... interestingly.
@@luiginastro8831 are they no longer friends? I'm outta the loop. Please inform me.
@@mabi2727 he got outed as a sex pervert and RLM purged their BotW and interview with him
@@amattchronism oh no, another one with a sex past. :/ yikes!! (thanks for explaining!!)
@@mabi2727 It's a shame that his episode was their first Neil Breen adventure. Someone made an edit without him in it but it still sort of feels weird to watch.
Mike is trying his damndest to find bright sides in this movie.. It's kinda funny how Jay is in disbelief about it.
Max Landis strikes me as the kind of guy that would get on my nerves very quickly.
+homeycdawg Yeah pretty much. He may be the nicest guy ever but i couldn´t watch the episode with him to the end, after the first 15min i couldn´t continue anymore. So naturally, i hope he never comes back for BotW. :x
+homeycdawg He sure loves the sound of his own voice.
He’s fucking annoying. Everyone else on the show is great. Especially Mike.
P R O N O U N S
@@cirdanx6 wow he seemed really cool to me
I trust Jay. He knows.
Aww, poor Mike is trying so hard to get Jay to say something nice about Max's movie and Jay is not budging a fucking inch.
+Eons I slept took 12 years
Can't wait for
A Conversation with Neil Breen
Turns out, Neil Breen's a really cool guy. Now we're bff's.
Jay gives no shits, which creates a good balance with Mike walking a tight rope lol. It feels more like a balanced review since they both had differing impressions.
...please don't invite Max back when you watch Neil Breen...I'd like to hear Rich's plot synopsis without a bunch of yelling...
HOMOPHOBE!!!!!
@@sirduggins THATS WHAT A HOMOPHOBE WOULD SAY
@Justin Hildenbrand Being gay is just a front he uses to get women comfortable around him
@@All4Tanuki
@Justin Hildenbrand
Is this proven somewhere, regarding the rape of women and that he claims to be gay despite himself allegedly being straight? I couldn't find anything about that, but I'm curious to know if it's true.
@@illusion115 Don't know anything about him claiming to be gay, but 8 women have come out claiming that he sexually abused them, one of which claims he raped her.
You guys are my favorite hack frauds.
+CJUGames Well if they repair my fucking vcr already I might appreciate them...
@@RubenTricky Same here dammit. I wanna watch some Night Court!
Funny I'm rewatching this review and scrolling through the comments and see a CJU comment here lol
Love your video game content man, keep up the great videos
It was fascinating to watch Mike try to be polite while giving the movie a poor review while Jay didn't give a fuck and ripped it a new one.
Landis complains about 'THE STUDIOS ALTERING MUH SCRIPTS' which makes them suffer, then he gets complete control over a film while even directing it and it sucks. I don't know why the RLM guys are being so nice about it when they would really tear into anyone else because they had him as a guest, Landis is delusional - the only good film he's been a part of is Chronicle.
"Max is a great guy" ... Well this episode aged poorly af.
@@bennemeth625 max behaves very badly toward women...
Legion Pigsmack lets leave it at that...
@@legionpigsmack1153 is that true? I remember hearing someone make EXTREMLEY vague statements, akin to "Max did a bad thing to me", but never heard anything else about it. Did details ever surface that we can like, confirm? I've been intrested to hear what was going on with that
@@Xvladin his ex-girlfriend posted some tweets, eight women came out making allegations, Josh Trank kicked him off set and his manager and management company have dropped him
@@Xvladin On top of all of daffyphack's points, Max to this day, refuses to comment, if he was innocent, he would've at least TRIED to clear his name.
you can tell jay completely despises max, it's great
Good judge of character
Mike trying to be nice to Max Landis is so difficult to watch
What did Max do? I heard extremley extremley vague accusations but never any other details
How did you know Jay was rolling his eyes internally Mike? Have you been inside him before?
+MrHeavy466 omg lmao
Hahahaha wow
Finally sat down and watched 10 Cloverfield Lane. I think you could easily recut the movie to remove the action sequence at the end. Just have her get in the car, drive off, decide to go help the people in Houston, and show a brief flash of the weird skyline with possible alien spacecraft as the lightning flashes. Perfectly good, that.
Holy shit that would've been so much better
That's the film that should have been. Escapes, gets in the car, something creepy happens, end.
Yeah, I didn't mind the alien reveal, but the movie would have been better without the dumb action scene at the end.
Actually amazing how easily you just fixed that horrific mess
I wish people weren't so quick to accept and excuse mediocrity.
Ahh "Max is a great guy." - Mike has aged so so well... ;)
Our friend
How embarrassing
I mean a good director or writer knows when his technique and sense of humor is forced, pretentious and annoying. And a decent human being knows when to take his own faults and accept it instead of bitching about how everyone is wrong except him. Max Landis is neither.
I can't find anything on google where Lands is saying everyone is wrong for not liking his movies. Where does that come from? I can find interviews where he bitches about the state of the industry RE: the kinds of movies that studios are willing to make, but it's kind of a non sequitor and he's not exactly the only person talking about that. In these same interviews he says stuff like "yeah, I get you didn't like the movie and that's fine" or "audiences didn't want to see my movie and that's fair".
I wonder what Max's excuse for this one being bad will be...
xenith800 Maybe everyone is just homophobic for not liking a movie about gay people.
+Browncoat Allywang We'll all find out soon enough.
He was busy abusing women while writing this screenplay
I think Mike was giving a fair and honest assessment of Max's movie, but he definitely would have been making fun of the stuff he didn't like along with Jay if it weren't for Max, I think. He was probably holding back so the review didn't turn into both of them relentlessly mocking it.
So max said on twitter that he couldn't imagine a world where you guys liked this movie. I'd take that as a compliment.
+Vakarian Max also can't imagine a good script.
Did he say something about abusing women?
It's always awkward when one of your friends has a passion which he is very bad at.
was this the 10th Cloverfield movies?
Sure
+JIMBOTHY Actually only the third
I think it Went:
Cloverfield
Cloverfield Lane
10 Cloverfield Lane
+Ryan Jessup 10 Cloverfield Lane, Apt 2
+JIMBOTHY Cloverfield 2 electric boogaloo
+Ryan Jessup My personal favorite is Cloverfield VI: Rise of the Attack of Giant Monster Man in America it's known as John Candy vs Roseanne
Me Him Her looks like the most irritating movie ever
+RTG2000 "since my son" - Plinkett
Gee, I wonder who Max is going to blame this time for his lack of fucking talent? Or was this movie stylistically designed to be terrible?
Me Him Her should of just been called Max Landis Fucks Up Again.
Yeah don't review anymore Max Landis films. You guys are at your best when you don't give a fuck.
Max Landis needs to stop making things.
+HDmexiqtioner No. . .he can continue. RLM needs to stop reviewing his things. I'll take the next BOTW with Neil Breen and Max though
no
No
+HDmexiqtioner Chronicle was great.
+Kazuhira "Least favorite actor is Ben Stiller" Miller difference is Bay's movies make money... Max Landis's movies do not make money
I wonder if MIke would suddenly like the Transformers movies if Michael Bay made a guest appearance on Best of the Worst.
+Lavidon A crowd of black people just screamed "Ooooooooohhh!!!" and jostled each other in my head.
Watching the "Me Him Her" review after the Max Landis allegations really makes it the most awkward of viewing, even by RLM standards. It feels meta, like Jay was on to Max from the start & his criticisms toward the film mirror that. And Mike really wants to give Max a chance and believe that these things aren't true (i.e. him cherry picking good things about the film). It's kind of fascinating & slightly less perverted than Plinkett's relationship with his painting of Black Baby Jesus.
vaguely psychotic reading
I think Mike was so nice in this episode to Max because he found out what friendship was.. and he didn't want to loose his one friend.
+Smokey McJoint You mean "It's not"...
looooooooooooooose Is what I meant. I'm drunk. SOMEONE GIVE ME MY CAR KEYS!
+standup109 "loose" his one friend?
I don't think Max would mind if Mike loosened him up a bit. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
He should tighten him instead.
"Around Max, never Relax"
No more Max Landis ever please.
They say real friends make the best mirrors. There is one thing you can always expect from Jay is he will not sugarcoat his opinions when it comes to movies. This world needs more people like him.
So Jay and Mike aren't best friends?

“Max is a great guy.” That aged not so good
He a sex pest?
"Should we remind people of our association with our friend Max Landis?" -Mike Stoklasa
Don't do it, Mike! You'd be better off rewatching Jeff who Lives at Home!
Oh god max landis is such a joke.
@@notGeist "I've never been so happy about rape!"
I wish I could laugh, but that joke isn't funny any more...
Maybe if Max adds another color to his hair, it'll make his movies less shit.
Naaah.
Lol. Everyone hating on that Mike doesn't completely shit on a movie that their friend had a hard time getting released and advertised. I thought he was pretty good about saying he didn't like it, but still being fair, and bring up stuff that he liked about it.
Oh well the RLM fanbase that just wants them to hate on everything.
+V1NCH3NZZ0 Yeah I liked that too. I mean, people saying that he's dickriding or whatever, simply because he didn't say "it was utter shit, stop making movies" are just full of it. He didn't like it, it showed. Jay also didn't like and still kept his bashing to a minimum. It's just that they know Landis and know that the guy is passionate about making movies. It wasn't a complete failure, guy made a movie, it wasn't some B schlock, but it wasn't great either. Like some are saying that they've backed off their criticism about American Ultra or Victor Frankenstein. Once again, they weren't terrible movies. They had interesting elements, but they weren't great either. It's not like Max Landis is A class Len Kabasinski, but he's no screenwriting genius.
Personally I'm missing the point this movie. Who's the target audience of this movie? Landis said he "knew Mike and Jay wouldn't like this movie". Who's suppose to like it? Which specific type of audience would enjoy it? It's like him going on about American Ultra, when he said "Unsurprised @redlettermedia didn't like American Ultra. They didn't like Chronicle, either. But they liked the Hobbit movies. So...eh?". He makes something that fails to deliver and immediately goes on defensive. He made "Me Him Her" in 2013, for three years it was sitting on a shelf. Then finally it gets released... straight to video. It's not like it's some sort a masterpiece.
+MrChomiq Funny enough, their criticisms against "Me Him Her" were similar to "American Ultra" in that it tried to mix several elements/ideas that simply don't work well together, in other words, can't have your cake and eat it too. It seems Landis is chasing different genres/tropes and repeating the same mistakes, but thinks he's clever/quirky because [i]no one[/i] has ever done it before--except obviously it has been done.
+V1NCH3NZZ0 What bugged me the most (and I'm sure others) was how he softened blows he had previously delivered to Landis by saying he liked Victor Frankenstein and American Ultra, even though if you go back and watch those reviews he is much harsher on both of those movies than you would think if you had only watched this video.
Exactly!
+guantanamo bae You don't want to shit on somebody you've broken bread with. Its perfectly natural. I think they gave a fair review without beeing needlessly pandering or arrogant.
Max Landis has taken over Mike's body to try and get all the cynics on his side. Jay will be our only hope.
Do you both honestly like Max Landis?
That Mike laugh at the end was like genuine for a bit and then became fake laughter.
I Noticed that too!!
I just saw this, I was the only person in the theatre. I laughed my ass off the whole time. I just replaced John Goodman's voice with Plinkett's voice in my head. There's even a scene involving putting a puzzle together, like those two girls who Plinkett feeds to the refrigerator full of cockroaches. Goodman has all the same clumsy mannerisms as Plinkett.
+cammameil Fifty Nine minutes!......
Jay's joke at the very end made the entire 37 minutes worth it
Mike's being weak, fucking Shark Week. I don't even know what that means.
Nah, just admit Max Landis is not that good of a writer. ;D
This didnt age well
What did Max do?
I think "Popcorn Moniesworth" is actually the name of the producer who came up with the idea for the ending.
Max is lucky to have friends that don't kiss his ass and just say "nah, man. didn't like it". Shows you can like a person but not his work.
Well, do you like him now as a person?
@@luiginastro8831 finally, a recent comment.
Landis tries so hard to write something different from the Hollywood machine, but he is almost literally the embodiment of "pretentious".Chronicle was great though.
Chronicle is awesome, s a little more budget and that could of been an awesome Akira movie
People who never had real problems are incapable of writing characters with real problems. Also rich kids with artsy parents are the most annoying people on the planet, you can tell they have no spatial awareness and have never been punched.
"Max is a great guy" AGED LIKE MILK LMAO
why did sociaty decide they hated him? im not up with the drama
@@nunyanunya4147was accused of being a sex pervert by multiple people
Thing aged badly, please laugh
OH like everyone else. SHAME people SHAME them. christians lost the war so keep the morals! @@ElA-eb9pi
@@notveryniceatall I mean yeah bud, it IS funny. He went from "a great guy" to "ultra abusive piece of shit rapist", you couldn't ask for a more stark contrast.
The suckin up to Max Landis continues... Doesnt really rhym with RedLetterMedia's American Ultra review.
Franken Stein I think it more has to do with them being human beings....when you develop any kind of connection with someone it's pretty weird to just go on bashing them. Mike is for sure holding back but at least Jay is being pretty brutally honest.
Mike, stop going easy on Max Landis! I get it - he's a good guy and a friend, but in that case you had the choice of not reviewing this movie at all. You're so obviously trying to soften Jay's blows while reaching for SOMETHING positive about it that you can exaggerate. It's uncomfortable watching someone who's usually so blunt and upfront about his thoughts suddenly hold back, in order to not hurt someone's feelings.

+Ollie Zoop But you have to find out how many cans of tuna are in the next Neil Breem film!

+Ollie Zoop not before you fucking kill me first
37:01 Mike's laughs are starting to become in the same league as Rich Evans'.
Jay is honest. I like that. Good for you, man.
I guess somebody already brought this up, but Mike is too nice to Landis. If someone else had made Me Him Her he would've been much harder on it. Jay is the one being honest here. Still a good show though.
RedLetterMedia, you guys don't get enough positive comments, so here's one: I like your VHS-themed "SPOILERS" sign in the corner. It's cute.
There was an episode of the Metal Hurlant TV series (Heavy Metal magazine might be more familiar to others) that covered much of the same premise as 10 Cloverfield Lane. It involves a girl that wakes up in a bunker with a guy she recognizes as her neighbor... through the course of the episode they get closer and she starts to believe him... until she finds out he was kind of creeping on her and taking pictures and stuff previously... so then she escapes the bunker to find there really was a nuclear holocaust. I think that version of the story works a bit better because what you end up with is the reality of outside being devastation from nuclear war and basically death if you go out there VS stay in the bunker with legit creepy dude who kinda saved you but also wants to manipulate you at the same time. The TV series was Twilight-Zone-esque and a lot of hit or miss... but this episode entitled "Shelter Me" is worth a look if for no other reason to compare to 10 Cloverfield Lane.
Yeah, I got that comic book, Metal Hurlant
This video is why you shouldn't be a critic and friends with a director lol Mike must have been a dancer to be tip toeing like this for 40 minutes.
Jay and Mike are beginning to develop a comedy routine with their back and forth. Jay says the most cynical thing he can think of and Mike tries to analyze and defend it.
how is max landis so unlikable
+Cade Kesterson He is one of those people whose profession requires a lot of charisma and strong presence that can't really be developed in post-middle school life out of nothing. He does not have that. He tries to make up for his uninteresting personality and lack of natural charm with a whole lot of effort to be personable and assertive. And it works, because he sells his movie ideas. But it's also cringeworthy for a lot of people.
I like him
+popc52 ...me too....
Cause he's rapey!
RLM constantly making fun of Max Landis but still considering him a friend is nice, because that's just how they are. Then RLM makes fun of Chris Stuckmann, who ripped them off unsuccessfully for a time and claimed to be a superfan, but Chris immediately breaks down into a manbaby.
Landis just got pissy and pretentious when he was ribbed, but Stuckmann went full-on ROTS Anakin breakdown.
wow, this hasn't aged well
It's kinda cute to see that Mike is the soft one and Jay is the hardass
I went to RottenTomatoes and read the reviews of Me Him and Irene (all 7 of them). They sum up in a few sentences what it took Mike and Jay 20 minutes of awkward (but funny) mealymouthing to get out. Here's a sample:
"What Max Landis' sexual orientation-bending directorial debut lacks in style, it makes up for in self-absorption."
And roll credits.
Mike and Jay put more effort into their conflict of interest disclaimer than many attorneys
3:44 is that a reference to Mr Sunday Movies? Because he is a big fan of RedLetterMedia :D
Just say it guys : You think Max Landis is shit.
Max Landis wishes he were Edgar Wright
an angry comment about something mentioned in this video being terrible
"Go be in a kiss prank."
That made me laugh, Max.
"In defense of the movie"
Guys, I'm 100% certain Mike is about to be chest bursted.
Max Landis? Next they're gonna promote Chunky's Chicken!
I don't like Max Landis.
+Dimitri Sanchez (08Cheeseits) we found Max Landis' account guys.
C'mon Mike. I know you like the guy, but if can't give honest opinions about his films anymore just don't review them. I don't think anyone will think badly of you for it.
Jesus, Max Landis belongs on the cringe channel!
Soooo Chronicle was a fluke for both Max and Josh Trank?
am I the only one who is just happy John Goodman is still getting work?
Max Landis: n. A nepotistic film director without talent.
+Skryre Prototype
what do you dislike about Chronicle? it was my favorite film of the year it came out. It seemed very unique and to do the found footage movie thing the right way.
I have no clue how he's made everything since then so bad when his first film was so good. Makes me wonder if other people had a hand in the first film's success =/
+unassumption To be perfectly fair, I didn't think the film was all bad. Just a significantly toned down version of Akira. Its cinematography (like most found footage films) made me feel a little nauseous, but I think Josh Trank did an alright job with the script he was given, but the script itself wasn't all that great.
Honestly, like you, I wouldn't be surprised if Max Landis had a helping hand in writing Chronicle, because everything he's churned out since then has been disgraceful.
+Skryre Prototype I never even connected it to Akira. I suppose it share some similarities but both offer something completely different.
+Glider4 I always felt like Chronicle was what would happen if Hollywood attempted to make Akira. PG-13, dull setting, awful cinematography, a muddled plot, few scenes of note and forgettable characters. Again, not bad; just a run of the mill summer film.
Skryre Prototype
Obviously we feel very differently about it. I absolutely loved it.
That laugh at the end reminded me of Vin Diesel's from Riddick.
broly is that strong
But he's not "that" strong.
nah im jk
No I'm doesn't.
***** Either way Diesel's Riddick has a great evil laugh.
Don't make excuses for Max Landis, it is unbecoming of you, Mike.
+Jeroen van Wamelen Mike's boring when he's kind.
+Jeroen van Wamelen Mike's gay for Max Landis. Painfully obvious LOL
To Max’s credit, he’s killed three less people in his career than his father, as far as I know.
Max Landis looks like he has the lovechild of a rainbow and a mop living on his head and it's terrified him into a nervous submission.
I feel like you both hated American Ultra more than you said in this.
So, Mike finally sold out. Hang in there, Jay!
+Dinko B I'm extremely surprised there isn't a comment here about AIIIIIIIIIDS-addled HACK FRAUDS
+Dinko B I just don't really see how you can call any of this "sucking Max's dick."
Both Mike and Jay laid out clear points as to what they thought was wrong with the movie, Mike just liked Max's movies more than Jay.
+Dinko B yeah Mike is becoming increasingly lenient and overall shitty with his opinions on films, it is like he is scared to say what he wants to say
+Dinko B He has to pay for all that booze somehow.
Mike said that to Jay though, Jay didn't say or do anything. Jay clearly disliked the entirety of the movie and any movie that would fall into the same genre as this, Mike had several good things to say about it even though he agreed that he didn't like it overall.
Anyone seeing anything other than a normal review here is really just projecting their own biases onto these guys.
Poor Mike, his Landis man crush is getting to him. It's ok, I understand.
dat last joke tho
So Max Landis is a nice guy who just makes movies that aren't that good. He's like a reverse Tarantino! :D
Stop with the Max Landis already! If you can't trash his movies properly then don't review them at all. Sellouts! Hack Frauds!
I thought Mike's take on Landis' film was surprisingly sweet and honest at the same time. They seem to have developed a nice, unlikely dynamic- the filmmaker part of a legacy he may not have fully looked into and the film analyst with a wealth of knowledge about film history.
Now if he could just remember the aliens' mission cause that's probably a little more important.
Since Max Landis is now "Internet Famous" the studio told him to go use his "fame" and make a fraction of the money back they spent on his movie they would never dare loose trying to spend real marketing money.
>Dare Loose
You're right, there really does need to be a remake of foot loose
Macdaddy5539 Remember that time your entire argument was I typed an extra 'o' when typing lose?
And it made no difference?
