Mike and Jay Talk About Cobweb

- It's the return of RLM's most popular series, Jeb and Mark Blark Abort! This time, we bring attention to this Halloween-centric movie that was inexplicably released the same weekend as Barbie and Oppenheimer: Cobweb! The movie was doomed to have abysmal box office and nobody knows why it was release when it was, not even Lionsgate!
Mike: “I don’t want to give away what the creature is.”
One second later
Mike: explains in detail what the creature is
It would be frustrating if they didn't also introduce me to this movie. Balances out, and also very funny
It’s really a compliment to this movie to have one of Milwaukee’s top 25 serial killers say this is one of his top 25 films of all time.
FISH!....?!
As one of Milkwaukee's other top 25 serial killers, I can confirm he has the best taste in movies.
Question, if they kill as a team the score is divided among them or each kill counts in their personal record? Cause if so just the ones from the Rockford Prowler aka Jay Bauman will put them all easily in the top 10.
@g.sergiusfidenas6650 the kills count towards your own personal record, unless someone provides an assist (i.e. demented cackling to set the mood) then it is split.
@@pyramear5414almost as good as his taste in his murder victims!
This video is the first time I’ve been made aware that this movie exists.
Same here the marketing was truly terrible
well seeing it, no wonder they had 0 faith in its success, it was really bad
Same
Same and I loved Barbarian
And after just watching this review, anyone can see that it's a crime against marketing principles. This is the most Halloween movie since Halloween (or Halloween, or Halloween) and to release it at any other time is just baffling. What the fuck were they thinking?
I like how Mike clarifies they won’t give away what the creature is approximately 3 seconds before explaining exactly what the creature is
I love when Mike calls them "hahrror pictures"
It goes along well with Jay still saying "Open Heimer".
I call them whore films
@@derfroschprinzausbayernYeah, that's more of a Cinema Snob movie to review
@@SeSeReRfRf Of course James Rolfe has to resort to plagiarizing scripts for his harrer movie reviews, he's got no time.
Worked with Lizzy on Castle Rock. She’s incredible and very humble. She invited and treated every crew member to dinner and drinks on her birthday.
Only because it's true and for no other reason: my brother had a small role in Castle Rock. He shanks someone in a jail cell Bill Skarsgard is being held in. That's all. Nice to know Lizzy's pleasant.
@@johdoushaLol I was also a Shawshank prisoner in season one. Small world
That's awesome. I loved that show and I love her in everything she's in.
Glad to hear she's cool. Always been a fan of hers.
I love how Jay just instantly call out the "it might be my favorite movie of all time" bullshit from Mike
It's his Top One movie of all time!
@@boatcaptain6288 Yes, right below The Fanatic
@@radhinkabagaskara5595 I hope a week or two from now Jay actually makes a reference to Cobweb to see if Mike remembers it or not.
@@boatcaptain6288A week or two? He already forgot it ever existed.
God I'd love to see that@@boatcaptain6288
That little busey segment was the scariest thing I'll ever watch on a screen, ever
considering mike’s memory, i’m starting to believe him when he says the most recent thing he can remember watching is his favourite movie of all time
When he shouted “HAVE YOU SEEN STAR WARS?!” in the Last Jedi review, he was actually asking himself. Already, he was losing his memory. How sad.
lol
Mikes sure loves watching his “stories” and eating a nice bowl of pea soup.
Time to get grampa back to the home
Haha I have a tendency to do that cuz I"m prone to exaggeration and have a bad memory.
@16:20 "There's a lot of spider imagery in this" - Mike Stoklasa discussing a movie called "Cobweb"
At this point I’d watch an hour of Mike and Jay breakdown all the Burger King commercials
I feel like that'd be a Mike & Rich episode.
I'm down.
@@Meyermagicthis
That actually sounds like a good idea lmao
Jay inspires me.. My parents said if i get 50K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
Finally, Mike and Jay sit down to talk about a movie. They should do this more often.
You can always tell when Mike has binged Vudu when they upload multiple videos in a week
Its the best way to get all this great content! "Alright its been a month, what crap was released this month". If he tried doing it every week ,it would be depressing.
I share Mike's love for Vudu
Now that he's seemingly housebound, they'll only be able to discuss stuff from vudu.
Underrated niche film talk, Vudu doesn't have the prettiest u.i. but the functionality of being able to click on actors or directors sends you in deep rabbit holes that I am thankful Mike brings out the gold out of
Nice observation.
Over the years, as Jay is getting younger, he slowly developes a Rachel Haircut.
"Damn. They knew how to make a 'Thing in the walls' movie."
Perfect box quote from Mike.
The House With Walls In It is hands down the most terrifying movie I've never seen.
Made me afraid of my own house.
@@anonymoushumanhi You'll believe a house can wall.
You wouldn't wall a house
hmm a format where Mike and Jay talk about movies.. this could really go somewhere
I think they should add some skits at the beginning of their videos, maybe get a close friend of theirs to play the wacky characters.
what if they had a big wheel and that's how they picked what movies to watch? or a jenga tower, or a plinko board...
@@lamptrent Sounds really embarrassing. I hope they never do that.
Nah, I don't like these ones. I like the ones where they sit in different chairs in a different set and talk about movies in the exact same manner. Those ones are great! They should start a new series where they sit in another different set of chairs on a different set that we've never seen and talk about movies in the exact same manner.
"But where do you even advertise anymore?"
Good question. The last effective marketing campaign for a horror movie I can think of was for _Smile_
They paid actors to go to events like baseball games, sit behind home plate and smile creepily at the camera.
It caught on and generated a lot of buzz for the movie. Anyway, _Cobweb_ sounds like a fun watch
Megan had an effective one with tik tok dance.
Agree with the above, the Megan one was good. Movie was a fun watch too!
skinamarink had a pretty good one, i mean it caught me and i don't even use whatever app it was originally advertised on lol
I give Megan a 5 bags of popcorn score!
cobweb makers should have paid people to hide in the walls of homes and whisper to children
I consume all of RLM's content by recording it first to a VHS tape, then once I'm done watching it, I crush the tape into a fine powder and snort it.
Son, you need to graduate to adding water to the resulting powder, heating it with a lighter, drawing it into a syringe, and then injecting it directly into your vein.
Otherwise, you are wasting about 90% of it as the excess does not get absorbed by your sinuses but rather runs down the back of your throat where it ends up in your stomach, at which point it is processed normally, including being filtered by the liver. And that's not something you want. There's only a limited amount Mike and Jay you can get, so you definitely don't want 90% of it to go to waste.
Do you cut it with cocaine?
Huh? Who doesn't, kiddo? Stop flattering yourself.
You didn't even get the tapes graded before crushing them? What are you? Some kind of cretin??
It's wonderful that at his advanced age Mike can still form a core memory.
My sister described this movie as a highly produced goosebumps episode and i liked it more after that realization
I enjoy the other shows where Mike and Jay talk as well.
Mike inspires me.. My parents said if i get 50K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
I’m a simple man. I see Mike and jay talking and I click
I like films.
@@namantherockstarblocked and reported
I like it when Mike sits on the right and Jay sits on the left.
You could tell Mike was very impressed with Jay’s Will Forte pun, but he had to suppress it because he was annoyed that he didn’t think of it first.
I think missing the 'Silence of the Lambs' joke in the Enemy Mine Re:View broke Mike's spirit. That was when he knew he might never be first to a joke again. And that's not even mentioning the Art-partment fiasco.
I wish Rich was here to pronounce it Will Forty.
My favourite thing about this movie is how this creature can somehow climb on walls, tear humans apart but cant break through decades old dry wall.
It was a fun movie though
I can suspend disbelief like a motherfucker, but when the teacher started breaking the wall open right after we saw that the HUMAN creature can literally tear somebody's head off, I was like "oh, come on!"
@@billyjackoffI figured that the thing absolutely had to be supernatural in some capacity, like a weird, Lovecraftian half-breed. I thought there had to be some significance with it NEEDING to be released through the unlocking of that bizarre door with the baroque key, as if that was what was really keeping it contained, not the drywall itself.
it seems the movie is about overprotective parents and the damage they can do to kids.
So the older sister could represent how someone like Peter might end up after several years: feeling angry at the world and trapped in the house by parents. Not literally physically trapped, but you know, feeling trapped in a situation and feeling a loss of control of your life...?
This could be why she doesn't just break through a wall or kill the parents herself.
The dad's bloody arm injury was from the sister, right? She could recognize the parents were the source of her pain.
However, the wound was pretty small relative to her strength, so it's likely that she tried to fight back but her obedience was too engrained.
This is why she needed Peter to get rid of them for her.
or maybe this is just bullshit idk, i really tried to find meaning beyond like, "childhood fears come to life"
@@billyjackoff The same thing happened with Evil Dead Rise. What's up with supernatural monsters not being able to get through a locked door?
Lol yeah. You kinda just have to switch your brain to low power mode during the finale and enjoy the chaos I think.
Holy f**k, the mum with the glowing eyes running towards the boy in the dark with her wide spread arms gets me everytime. What a terrifying shot
I don’t watch movies, I watch Jay and Mike talk about movies.
I don't watch Jay, I watch movies and talk about Mike.
To be fair, movies nowdays are medicore at best.
While Jay and Mike are a 10/10 no matter what they talk about.
Same. Last modern movie I watched was... I honestly can't remember 😂
FUCK MOVIES
*_fart_*
same
I love how funny Mike is (saying this random movie is his top 25) and how much Jay knows about Mike's attitudes toward movies (you're going to forget this movie)
I love how much I’ve actually learned about film and cinema from these guys. They’re not just hilarious, but also informative. I always recommend RLM to people.
Their reviews and in depth analysis, breakdown are amazing and 100% spot on. While adding stoned on couch humor. The indie flicks they mention or review / recommend are also 99% correct.
Yeah this is one of the few channels I very occasionally I can feel I can share with people too
A couple of the smartest dumb asses
But also keep in mind that these are the guys that made Spacecop…
Isn't it great not having to think for yourself anymore?
That hallway scene is an excellent scare, I am going to go watch this. Looks cool. I think the marketing should have focused on Homelander in a horror movie, people know him and like him in that show, so that probably could have worked. They also should have pushed the release to October.
Vudu has replaced the part of Mike’s brain that causes him to reference Star Trek every five minutes
Anyone else just love hearing these guys talk about anything.
I actually saw this movie in the theater and some man was rubbing his bare dry feet together like a cricket, and this is why i dont go to the theater a lot anymore. But it was a great, scary movie!
Jesus christ
Lmao. I don’t blame you.
sorry about that
why didn't you ask Rich for an autograph?
whoooa what the fuck lmao
I’m glad these guys are bringing their babies to work. We need the next generation of RLM to keep up with the next generation of Buseys
Mike and jay talking about stuff is cool
Very cooool

I am aging like leftovers, Jay and Mike are aging like fine wine. It's so not fair. 🖤
Agreed, it's totally not fair. :(
Mike is aging like a tomato under the sun, Jay on the other hand has absorbed all of Jack's hair and now is finishing with Rich's hair too...
And his coffee cup is the size of Winnie-the-Pooh's honey pot.
Because they don't have real jobs.
@@Luke-zz2zzwym they are literally vcr repairman
I loved the 2011 Daniel Craig-starring film, The House with Walls in It
i never get tired of the freeze frames on mikes face... gets me every time
I can only imagine the terror that a director/writer must experience upon hearing that RLM are talking about something they made. Must be frikkin wild.
Honeslty I'd be happy they talked about it, even if they hated it. Any press is good press
if any film maker makes movie with consideration what creators of Space Cop want, you know they should find a new job
terror? I’d be beside myself to hear these frauds discuss something I made.
If you're a nobody, it's a great honor. But if you are successful, look out
Most of them don't really care.
Rich and Jack were so quiet in this episode of Half in the Bag, just sitting back there….
I think they were intimated by the Star Trek monster beside them.
Mike sees old people and he starts farting with excitement. Jay sees punkins in any movie and he starts farting with excitement.
Rich is farting every second of his life
@@BT-su1yf
Yes, but does he do it with _excitement?_
@@unduloid i like to think so
@@BT-su1yf Thats just old people in general. Thats why MIkelikes him so much.
Poo poo pee pee
A random thought I had while watching this: is "person in the walls" a fear / creepy idea that mainly works for people who live in actual houses? As somebody who's lived an apartments almost my entire life, I always hear strangers through my walls so I don't find it particularly spooky as a concept. It's kind of like being a pet owner (which I am) and hearing little noises at night; you just get used to it and assume it's your pets being goobers rather than anything scary going on.
Well of course things your brain can instantly rationalize aren't scary. It's not specifically things in walls, but the unknown of hearing things where they aren't supposed to be. Even if you can rationalize it, strange sounds in walls are likely to be something unpleasant like pests.
There's also something of a trope that, since walls are rarely ever opened, they could be used to hide things, from secret passages to a killer's victims.
Lots of horror plays off of things in unexpected places, I mean you don't expect a clown in a storm drain or a threatening phone call to be coming from your own house.
@@ChrisSmith-mi2zo Yeah I agree. I guess I was trying to say, for people who've mostly lived in houses as opposed to apartments, is there more of an automatic fear response to hearing a strange noise in the walls, or more of a fundamental "ooo creepy" reaction to the concept? Since they haven't had noises like that constantly rationalized / they haven't become desensitized to wall noises.
your use of "goobers" has not gone unappreciated
Th origin of many real-life ghost stories comes from squatters living in an old forgotten partition of a house
@@SpikesSpikesSpikesexactly. I have a cat who at 4:00am is precisely a goober.
I like how Jay says "open heimer"
That's the Wisconsin in him
Mike is just so happy to remember something despite his dementia that this makes his top favorite films.
Holy shit, thank you for sharing this movie. Would have never heard of it, and I was actually looking for a horror movie to watch this weekend!
Same!❤
Watch Talk To Me, surprisingly pretty great I thought, and doesn't rely on jumpscares as much as character/narrative horror.
@@GuineaPigEveryday Awesome, was thinking of checking it out
yeah Talk To Me was way better than Cobweb
i just really love you guys. this channel stands out in such a great way against the background of your typical youtube channel. i love that i can always put on some redlettermedia and it just kinda feels like hanging out with friends. I hope you're all enjoying what you do.
Finally! I didn’t think these two would ever talk about a movie!
Lol the break to explain the Busey child had me dying 😂😂😂
Love those weeks with multiple uploads!
oh wow, that little snippet of what the mom running down the hall ACTUALLY looks like in the movie sold me
'Person in the wall' is actually RLM favourite genre of horror.
I thought it was their favorite genre of comedy?
The real villains are the home inspection services that half-ass it and miss all these secret pathways and feral children
it's nice that these two brand new dads can spend time together while their children sit catatonic and stare off into space.
Maybe they should add Rich Evans as a prop in the background. Just a blank stare.
Such a wonderful feeling when I log into TH-cam and see a new video drop from you guys!
Glad to see you guys getting some mileage out of those Baby Binks lmao
18:29 Jay makes a good point about Gateway Horror movies for kids.
I think nowadays, kids' gateway into horror moreso video games than movies, like the Five nights at Freddy's franchise and all the other horror games that emulate that atmosphere.
Maybe there is some difficult market competition since a child-oriented horror movie has to compete for attention with video games like FNAF that have remained viral for like 10 years or so, and turned into a million dollar franchise.
But im not a marketing agent or a horror buff so i dont know for sure.
I had no idea this even came out and I didn't even see a poster put up at my local theatre. Talk to Me, another horror movie going against the giants, did pretty well and the girlfriend and I enjoyed it. First time directors with the horror being more focused on tension and creep factor compared to jumpscares. It has a scene of someone sucking on someones toes so it's got all the stuff that Jay needs!
It's like a less-good version of Malignant.
@@OccultDemonCassettein what way? It was an original story, that didn’t rely on jumpscares and shit, had good cinematography, actually made you care and be invested in the characters and sympathise with them. You know using atmosphere, character-sympathising, tension, to make you scared and invested akin to the way The Exorcist does. Not comparing the two, just saying that similar approach to those older movies rather than modern reliance on jumpscare and shock.
@@GuineaPigEveryday I don't know what to tell you. The entire time I was watching it just felt like it was heavily inspired by the styling, pacing and atmosphere of Malignant, but from a childlike perspective. Personally I think saying that it's a less-good version of Malignant is high praise as that was one of the best atmospheric action-horror flicks of the at least the last decade.
@@OccultDemonCassette im not sure what u mean by childlike perspective, perhaps akin to watered-down? But in the case of Talk To Me, I do love the way it uses the perspective of teenagers and that exorcism is being exploited like a fun party-drug rather than some ominous thing the kids are scared of. It's an interesting twist, that isn't over-done, and more so i think it works excellently in the modern era, because ofc exorcism would become a tiktok trend. I haven't seen Malignant, i just really dug the characters in Talk To Me, and really sympathised with Mia. But i wouldnt be surprised at all if Talk To Me took a lot of inspiration from Malignant, it's racka-racka's first film, still besides that they still did all of this themselves and had a great script, good characters and great cinematography, even if its inspired/taking-influence-from.
@@GuineaPigEveryday childlike as in from the perspective of a child.
I'm doing laundry and a "Mike and Jay Talk About" pops up - Glorious.
I always laugh so much at how you describe the horrible experience of going to a theatre lol, I'm so glad that for some reason here in Chile you are still able to go to the theatres and have a mostly decent quiet experience. Except for kid movies of course, those times always suck haha.
"Brindo por un cine vacio, dijeron los Red Letter Media, sin ancianos ni cabros chicos, ni películas de mierda" 🎶🇨🇱🎶🇨🇱
Happy 18 de Septiembre my friend, from the best country of Chile.
Same where I live. I think awful moviegoers are mostly an American thing.
They’re just grumpy old men lol. Movie theater experience in the US is good.
its only bad if you’re in a crowded theater and even then it’s just a chance.
Utah movie theaters are ok, mostly
I also was pleasantly surprised by this movie. The best way I could describe it is that this would be the fan-favorite if it had been an episode of HBO's Tales From The Crypt.
Ok you guys sold me on it. I'll watch this over the weekend
You just got caught in the cobweb
I do remember DREAM HOUSE, because the movie's director Jim Sheridan (of MY LEFT FOOT and IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER fame) refused to talk about it, when he was a guest of a local film festival in my hometown.
They should do the whole next episode with the “Baby’s Day Out” babies talking about the movie.
Thanks guys, I got around to watching it today, pretty much my favorite horror film of the 2020s so far, and one of the best from last year!
My first time learning Jay runs on coffee and Jesus. Explains a lot.
The color of Mike’s shorts make it look like he’s sitting next to Jay half naked
That Forte/Speciality joke and riff was 10/10.
It certainly stunlocked Mike
I just saw this movie on streaming. It is nice for the Halloween mood. I don't know if I liked it as much as Mike did but no regrets. 🎃
Two of my favorite talkers of all time no doubt.
Just when i thought i was drunk AF and there was nothing to watch, they posted this 1 hour ago
My favorite part was when cobweb cocked a shotgun and said "evil dies tonight!"
holy shit this is the most original and funny comment ive ever seen! good job bud!! keep it up!!
Horror standards are depressingly low when this is considered great.
Mike and Jay gotta be one of the most chaotically wholesome duos imaginable
Name a more iconic duo...
@@alexlewis5365

Well, maybe Mike and Rich...
Nah, Mike & Jay is more iconic
You look up to these cynical hipsters?
Ok, I stopped at minute 13 and I'm just gonna go watch the movie. There, you did it. Cash that check, boys!
I appreciate you both talking about this movie since very few people are, at least on TH-cam when I searched for reviews of this movie. It's a little sad that even content creators refuse to see movies they think won't get them enough clicks to be worth their time.
"Spoilers Ahead" genuinely jumpscared me
4:49 "I don't know why, but it's there," perfectly describes most of this film.
You guys are the best! I wish there were more of these videos.
i saw a review of this movie and instantly thought of yall's imaginary movie plot, a boy in the wall. so i'm super ecstatic to see that you guys are talking about it lol!
“Jen and mark blark abort” great description.
Mike and Jay at the dentist office at the same time?! What a coincidence!
Love a good Mike and Jay talk, this show rules
that running footsteps in the pitch black short hallway, creeped me out so dman much! I loved it!
I’m actually pretty interested in hearing Jay and Mike’s top 25 list
mike #1: Cobweb
mike #25: Cobweb
mike #48: Cobweb
Marianne is incredible, do finish it as its slow burn pays off incredibly. Extremely satisfying and has the fairy tale feel this director works with in Cobweb. Personally, I think it's better than Cobweb but admittedly they had a whole series to develop characters and themes. Love this guy's approach to horror, can't wait to see more from M. Bodin
The description jokes but this is legitimately my favorite RLM series. I don't like those VCR guys these guys are way cooler.
Which one has that Mike guy in it? I like the one that has Rich “Evans” in it.

Mike is out angling Jay HARD with those calves.
Jay actually shaves every morning and buzz-cuts his hair, but it grows back to this length by the time they start shooting. It's getting progressively more robust every day. Nobody knows when it will stop.
It's a real Santa Clause situation
As a man, what he lacks in height, he makes up for in follicles.
I agree, I am also a only two haircut person
What a weird creepy comment
Hes Sampson; his strength comes from his luscious mane.
I would love to see the quote: "Get caught in this Cobweb. There's your marketing!" on the box.
Parents is one of my all time favorite movies and I've been waiting for years for RLM to mention it 😂
I like that we start the Halloween season a little early.
Finally someone who loves this movie as much, actually way more, than I do. One of my top movies of any genre this year. From beautiful direction, the set design, acting and the whimsical score that brings the childhood Halloween vibes. I didn't know much about the movie when I went to the theater. And I walked out totally impressed. This film and the horror film that just came and went called , Birth/Rebirth have been awesome theater experiences this year. Great review guys!
I love how different this is to all the other episodes where Mike and Jay talk about movies. The variation really keeps you interested in their channel.
Jay and Silent Mike Strike Back is my new favorite web series.
"Let's not go see Barbie, let's go see Cobweb." --words spoken by the utterly deranged

I’m just glad to see Laura from The Evil Within is still finding work.
Look at Jay with the clever wordplay! Subverting expectations, not using forte and everything. Nicely done, sir
I could watch you guys talk about poop and i just know it would be a good ol time. Much love fellas
Highly highly recommend finishing Marianne! Probably the only horror series that has terrified me to my core, I was so disappointed when it wasn’t renewed for a second season. Super interested in seeing this film now!
When I was a 14 year old lad I went with a group of friends to a guy named Stuart "loose bum" Rennie's house. While there someone asked his mother how Stuart got the moniker Loose Bum. She started laughing and told us the tale of how she sent him to boarding school 4 year prior, when Stuart Loose Bum was 15. While he was there he provoked a bunch of the other boys and they sneak attacked him, beat him up and crammed a glass bottle up his rear end. The boys then smashed the bottle with a swift hit to the abdoment with a baseball bat. The damage to Stuart Loose Bums colon and anus was so extensive that he lost the ability to control his bowel movements for quite some time. During that time his mother started calling him loose bum and his peers started following suit. Stuart "Loose Bum" Rennie died of a meth overdose 7 years ago. You can look up his obit. His son is now a fenti addict. 😮
That was an interesting experience. Been thinking a lot about that when watching spooky movies lately
Couldn’t help but stare at the gash on Jay’s knee the whole video. Praying for a full recovery.
Just one knee? Curious.
I also like to stare at Jay's gash
That's a nasty gash
I watched this movie a couple nights ago because of this review and really enjoyed it. Thanks guys!
