I saw Hunter Dunbar at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
I saw Hunter Dunbar commiting tax fraud last year, and when I pulled my BigWheel tricycle over and asked him why, he said "Hey my name is Devon Sawa and I was in hit films such as Final Destination and Fanatic, and have worked alongside legendary actor John Travolta, hit breakout star from films such as Grease and Face/Off!"

That's awesome...I like the narrator friend of his, Lilly ( I think) " Moose didn't just cross the line, he fucking nuked it." Moose looking at the dead housekeeper: " That's a nosebleed...that's bad." Hunter and his son listening to music: " You like a little Bizcut? Awesome". Moose practicing for his job: "Poppycock! Poppycock!" I haven't even seen this movie but it's a plethora of snarky material. 😄

I love the progression of Adam’s laugh at 12:03 so much, it’s like genuine chuckling, mildly evil laughter, exaggerated evil laughter, *actual* laughter, and then laugh-coughing
Just because he was arrested doesn't mean he'll be convicted, remember. The gardener never saw Moose, only Dora ever did. He only vaguely knows there was a man creeping around the estate, not anything about his appearance or personality. It makes more sense to assume it was the fault of your employer who regularly flies off the handle and drinks alcohol with his meds like a dumbass. Forensics will figure it out and the celebrity will probably still end up charged with manslaughter if Moose dies from his injuries, or some other thing for using excessive force in his self-defense (and failing to call the police) if Moose lives. (I feel like the end of the movie hinted that he died, but I couldn't tell if he was wearing the wings or if his friend was and that was supposed to be her saving him after the worst night of his life...?) Anyway, just because they don't show it happening, doesn't mean that's not what happened. Y'know? Eh. I guess it doesn't matter either way, given how batshit this movie was.
JakeTakesTheCakes just what the hell was the movie trying to say: that fans can be dangerous or that celebrities are assholes? Both characters are examples of it
@Elvick true, I learnt that female inmigrants can die and no one will care and the killer will walk free (?????) she was the most damaged and she was an extra I hope she got good money lol
"Good evening officer, someone broke into my house and I had to shoot and stab him in self defense. You can check the blood on this knife, it's his, as are the fingers back in my room. No, I don't mind accompanying you to the station until you can confirm my statements. What? 1 minute of run-time left? F%#, guess it's off to jail, then!"
yeah - at least try to place the blame on the worker, who didn't find the body for SEVERAL DAYS. i mean, that's a big thing that is very sus. especially since the worker said 'i concentrate on my work' you do lawn work. there is a BODY in the lawn. it is obviously visible. i mean, some juries could convict on that only (mind you, not a good jury)
That moves WAY past self-defense. When you reach the point where you are stabbing out the intruders eyes and kicking them down a flight of stairs as they actively try to escape you and (we didn’t see it here, but it happens) you also start shooting next to the intruder’s head for no purpose other than to terrify them while they’re down, you have passed the limits of self-defense. Shooting his fingers off and punching him though, that was fine and perfectly justified.
I was very very fortunate this weekend and got to meet Devon Sawa/Hunter Dunbar at a convention. He gave me some fun insight about the filming. Travolta, a known method actor, refused to break character. He would show up everyday in costume, mullet and all, and in between takes, he would rock back and forth and mumble things to himself. Which was kind of sad if you think about it because that means Travolta is actually trying his best during this.
I think that he didn't get along well with his son Jet (now departed, and who was autistic). I think there is a grab-bag of mannerisms which he's projecting from what he knew of his son. Also, I think Travolta is really bad at method acting, which sets fire to this metaphorical dumpster. To use a Simpsonism, your story is perfectly cromulent.
You guys remember how John Travolta had an autistic son? I wonder if that influenced his performance at all... Edit: Legitimately though this was uncomfortable to watch from a personal perspective. My brother is on the spectrum and I can't help but have mixed feelings about his portrayal of someone who's also on the spectrum. He gets a few of the common traits right, like rocking back and forth as a self soothing mechanism, displaying anger/anxiety, intense obsessive interests, and struggling to communicate with people in a socially acceptable manner. But I can see why people are clowning on his performance. It really comes off as a disrespectful stereotyped caricature of autistic adults despite his first hand knowledge with raising an autistic child.
@aaronsdavis its just a song from years ago called 'stan'. Using a sample from another popular song , might i add, it's not like he composed it entirely.
This comment is far too depressing. It's actually eerily similar to Trovolta with Battlefield Earth. Hard working people getting over-shadowed and their hard work ruined.
As a 16yr old on the spectrum, I fucking love this performance. Don’t get me wrong, it’s ridiculously offensive to depict someone on the spectrum in the way ‘Moose’ was, but on an entertainment value, it’s through the damn roof.
@@YoyoF37 i'm 27, i would go as far as calling travolta's perfromance as "bold". the man is trying HARD. cringed through the whole thing it was amazing
Watching this legitimately gave me anxiety. Each cringey moment made my heart start sinking like my heart was being broken. The commentary really makes it almost bearable. Thank you.
Olsson 2025 I think they’re expressing the feeling that people get when they see something cruel and wrong. Like if you see people laughing while burning a puppy with cigarettes, or the “invisible ink prank” video from daddy of 5 where two grown ass adults are screaming at a child crying on the floor, or the countless videos of police violence from the recent George Floyd protests. I remember this feeling from reading the book “a child called ‘it’” in middle school, the book is an autobiography about being an abused child, and when I read the more graphic scenes I remember wanting to cry, puke, and scream, everything your body wants to do when something is seriously wrong. They feel this way about how to movie treats autism and mental issues, and how moose as a character is written and treated. BUT having some levity like people joking in the less serious/ fictional situations can make it easier to digest the situations. Still not good but “almost bearable”. Hope I helped.
@@letsbehonest6322 that's a fair answer but with me being autistic I just feel love for the character because see myself in him. Not to that extent but still
How to broaden your horizons in your acting career, cementing the fact that you're worth your salt whilst avoiding being pigeon-holed as a certain type of actor: Robert Pattinson How not to: John Travolta
Literally me looking at all those “social commentator” channels. We get it, you made an hour long video on someone to compensate for a lack of personality. And the audience clap like seals at feeding time.
As much as I love laughing at this, can someone answer to me seriously: What happened to John Travolta? What made him go from Grease to his return to spotlight thanks to Pulp Fiction and then to this? Is he like Bruce Willis where he doesn't care anymore? Or is he this desperate?
My guess is after hairspray and getting involved in Scientology nobody took him seriously anymore but he wanted to be in serious movies and these kinda ones were the only ones available to him
this was always my favorite adum and pals, I couldn’t tell u the number of times I’ve rewatched this it always made me cry laughing… Scoot will be truly missed 💔
Phil Swift Because art is about what makes you feel, and not everyone is effected by the same things, therefore art is subjective. Sure one can evaluate different types of art by scrutinizing it on a technical level, camera work, grammar, etc. But that doesn’t change the message or the feelings/effects it has on a person. Adum often criticizes plot holes and technical issues such as sound and cinematography. That can mean a movie is not technically well made, but it doesn’t mean the movie is bad, as long as it conveyed some sort of emotion(s) to at least one viewer out there, then it is art. So, that’s why I don’t like critics. Sure their technical points may be valid but that doesn’t mean the movie is bad yet it will turn away those who may like it because they’ll end up taking those critics own word for it when it is nothing more than an opinion. No person should be allowed to say a movie isn’t art when there is clearly someone out there that is effected by it. TL;DR A film can be poorly made but that doesn’t make the film bad, someone will like it. Edit: Forgot to add, Adum is a person with an opinion, but they’re not some expert on what movie is good or bad, no one is, not Stuckman, RLM, RtMM, IHE, or anyone.
"Imagine having a house so big, you wouldn't find a body on the premises" I immediately started thinking of where bodies could be in my house and how long it would take me to find them if they don't stink first.
With a good script and directing and dropping the stalker being on the spectrum angle, I could actually see this concept working. Like a thriller/horror movie about a celebrity being stalked in the age of social media could work, and I’d love to see someone outside limp bizkit take a crack at it.
I disagree with the dropping the stalker being on the spectrum. If it was REALLY good. They'd know how to do it respectively, while also being the kind of movie that tells ppl "he's a killer due to outside reason, not due to him being autistic."
5:50 Jack Torrence is Jack Nicholson's character from The Shining, Tyler Durden and Robert Pulson are characters from Fight Club. Evan Jealous is a character Fred Durst played
@@DistractedGlobeGuy Gonna have to deduct that point again, they misspelt Robert Paulson as well (as "Pulson", really? No-one else noticed that apparently)
Had I known about this character of Travolta's then I promise my halloween costume woulda been a hawaiian shirt and a fanny pack. bad luck i guess. gotta poo.
Where did Elvick come across as offended? Please don't be one of those obnoxious people who goes "oh you're just offended" at ever rebuttal to a stupid joke or comment.
The people that made this might have been deluded enough to think they made a good movie, but I really doubt they thought they'd get a sniff at the Oscars.
I actually have Asperger's and this movie upsets me. I worry when movies have characters that are supposed to be on the spectrum bc it seems Hollywood can't have a character be on the spectrum and not just be either a joke or a walking cluster of stereotypes. I'm always open about my Asperger's bc I want people to learn about it and learn that it's not really a handicap, it can be sometimes, but it's also just how I and a lot of other people are. Movies like this are part of the reason people assume Autism is the same as being mentally retarded and it's a huge problem that causes more harm than people realize.
You do know it is a spectrum. Every movie that has a autistic person has to show off the highly functioning almost normal ones. This seems like a semi accurate portrayal of the deep end of the spectrum. It is not a gift like a lot of Hollywood would like to pretend. It is a curse. Don't kid yourself.
"Horror Icon" sounds like a Yugioh monster achetype "I summon Horror Icon Mask Man in Attack Mode! And then with Horror Icon Twisted Puppet's ability, I attack with both of my monsters at once!"
Really gotta love the fact that the Wikipedia page for this movie has dubbed it as a “psychological thriller” because boy oh boy do I enjoy 88 thrilling minutes of watching a middle aged man portray stereotypical traits of someone who has autism and also blatantly stalks an actor they admire due to an enabling friend who has no idea of what literal hell they unleashed when giving them said actor’s physical address. Was there some sort of message/meaning or substance we were supposed to get out of this film that I may be missing? Was there a reason this *had* to be made?
Can we vote for John Travolta to get a razzie nomination? He deserves it just as much as Joaquin Phoenix does an oscar for Joker. He went just as hard as Joaquin did.
What happens after the credits "Oh well sir the blood on your shirt doesn't match the victims blood or your blood. Clearly you actually didn't murder her"
This is one of my all time favorite, bad movies. Durst's ego is the best part of the whole film. To be fair, Travolta actually has the movements and mannerisms down pretty well, the character just suffers from really, REALLY, poor writing. Argument: This is actually his most WELL ACTED ROLE ever.
This feels like a fake movie from the opening of Tropic Thunder.

@@Manamanamana36 aww what's thexmatter sweetie
BrokamaGay no, not since joker as there been a portrayal of mental illness by a mainstream actor so well
It's like 13 Reasons Why levels of bad lmao
Rosie’s character x moose
This is like a gritty remake of "Riding on the Bus With My Sister".
Rosie O'Donnell's Pee Wee Herman impression was especially hilarious 😅
As a 16yr old on the spectrum, I fucking love this performance. Don’t get me wrong, it’s ridiculously offensive to depict someone on the spectrum in the way ‘Moose’ was, but on an entertainment value, it’s through the damn roof.
Travolta went absolutely wild in this film and it’s a blast to see.
You’re young, wait till you grow older and you will probably dislike it
@@YoyoF37 nah I'm 20 and this is funny as fuck
@@YoyoF37 i'm 27, i would go as far as calling travolta's perfromance as "bold". the man is trying HARD. cringed through the whole thing it was amazing
@@YoyoF37 I'm 99 and I loved it.
Watching this legitimately gave me anxiety. Each cringey moment made my heart start sinking like my heart was being broken. The commentary really makes it almost bearable. Thank you.
it's a fucking weird depressing mess! what an absolute masterpiece!
i don't understand what you mean, elaborate. i know this is 7 months old but it wouldn't hurt to ask
Olsson 2025 I think they’re expressing the feeling that people get when they see something cruel and wrong. Like if you see people laughing while burning a puppy with cigarettes, or the “invisible ink prank” video from daddy of 5 where two grown ass adults are screaming at a child crying on the floor, or the countless videos of police violence from the recent George Floyd protests. I remember this feeling from reading the book “a child called ‘it’” in middle school, the book is an autobiography about being an abused child, and when I read the more graphic scenes I remember wanting to cry, puke, and scream, everything your body wants to do when something is seriously wrong. They feel this way about how to movie treats autism and mental issues, and how moose as a character is written and treated.
BUT having some levity like people joking in the less serious/ fictional situations can make it easier to digest the situations. Still not good but “almost bearable”.
Hope I helped.
@@letsbehonest6322 that's a fair answer but with me being autistic I just feel love for the character because see myself in him. Not to that extent but still
I just thought it was hilarious lmao
Oh man hes gonna use that pic of Travolta kissing the guy on his head all the time now isn't he.
I mean, why not?
i know im gonna use it
for
personal purposes
It's just like what Robert Downey Jr. said in the movie Tropic Thunder.
"I am Iron Man."
"I am inevitable".
"And I
Am

So true.
Never go full regal
Never go full John Travolta.

We get it, you made an hour long video on someone to compensate for a lack of personality. And the audience clap like seals at feeding time.
A humiliating portrayal of people on the Autistic Spectrum. At least you could make a fun drinking game out of it!
Medieval Genie drink every time Travolta comits a crime!
As an autistic person this film makes me uncomfortable. Once in a while i see how others see me in a portrayal like this and its crushing
Well there ppl that’s are on different level then u . Not all are functional. Get mad if show that or made they make u look like a genius. Lol
As much as I love laughing at this, can someone answer to me seriously: What happened to John Travolta? What made him go from Grease to his return to spotlight thanks to Pulp Fiction and then to this? Is he like Bruce Willis where he doesn't care anymore? Or is he this desperate?
Scientology and drugs?
Midlife crises? 🤷🏽♀️
His agent is probably sick of making male prostitutes sign NDAs so is purposefully tanking his career?
My guess is after hairspray and getting involved in Scientology nobody took him seriously anymore but he wanted to be in serious movies and these kinda ones were the only ones available to him
He’s too busy hiding all his boyfriends from his wife to care about how he makes money.

“Don’t believe the critics”
Agreed, but like...not here.
I agree with your agreement
"Critics" is too generic to agree or disagree with
Critics shouldn’t exist in general, which is why I only watch these vids for the funny commentary, and not the review videos YMS is known for.
MKManiac why
Phil Swift
Because art is about what makes you feel, and not everyone is effected by the same things, therefore art is subjective.
Sure one can evaluate different types of art by scrutinizing it on a technical level, camera work, grammar, etc. But that doesn’t change the message or the feelings/effects it has on a person.
Adum often criticizes plot holes and technical issues such as sound and cinematography. That can mean a movie is not technically well made, but it doesn’t mean the movie is bad, as long as it conveyed some sort of emotion(s) to at least one viewer out there, then it is art.
So, that’s why I don’t like critics. Sure their technical points may be valid but that doesn’t mean the movie is bad yet it will turn away those who may like it because they’ll end up taking those critics own word for it when it is nothing more than an opinion. No person should be allowed to say a movie isn’t art when there is clearly someone out there that is effected by it.
TL;DR
A film can be poorly made but that doesn’t make the film bad, someone will like it.
Edit: Forgot to add, Adum is a person with an opinion, but they’re not some expert on what movie is good or bad, no one is, not Stuckman, RLM, RtMM, IHE, or anyone.
*Life is Strange 2: The Movie*
☑ Main character does some shitty drawings
☑ He's embarassing (furry/scientolotard)
☑ He gets an eyepatch
☑ He gay
I wouldn't be surprised if Life is Strange 3 was about a gay furry internet reviewer who coincidentally is named Adum.
Caio Soares is Adam gay and a furry? I wouldn’t be to surprised
"Either that or John Travolta's agent really hates hin" between this and Gotti that might be true
This movie was pretty much Stuckmannized
RedLetterMedia review was better.
@@ThreadBomb RLM always does it better.
Kanggaxx no
All the critics listed, and all in general, suck.

"Imagine having a house so big, you wouldn't find a body on the premises" I immediately started thinking of where bodies could be in my house and how long it would take me to find them if they don't stink first.
Wait, can we acknowledge the fact that they even misspelled Jack Torrance as Jack Torrence?
" just shout nightmare nightmare! nightmare!"
Travolta : "this is a niightmaarre"
he fixed himself.
Moral of the story:
If John Travolta asks you for an autograph. You give him an autograph!!
Or the alternative moral:
Aim for the danger zone
As someone on the spectrum, his performance was uncomfortable but in a funny way. 12/10
I would like to second this.
Scoot's privilege scale will forever be one of my favorite jokes. Rest in Peace Scott.
Chris Chan, the autobiographical movie.
Before the really weird twist ending.
With a good script and directing and dropping the stalker being on the spectrum angle, I could actually see this concept working. Like a thriller/horror movie about a celebrity being stalked in the age of social media could work, and I’d love to see someone outside limp bizkit take a crack at it.
I disagree with the dropping the stalker being on the spectrum. If it was REALLY good. They'd know how to do it respectively, while also being the kind of movie that tells ppl "he's a killer due to outside reason, not due to him being autistic."
@@yikesyourchunkyhostilityha2321 fair, but it’d require a really good writer
Just coming back to ask if you've played _Parasocial._
This is one of my favorite Scoot videos, it's honestly how i got into death grips. You will be missed Scoot
Scott’s contributions to these videos give me life. He is just a joy to listen to.
Right he’s great
Scoot listing off the privilege scale absolutely killed me
I'm laughing coz Devon is playing a lifelike Jeremy Renner.
Like as if Jeremy Renner was a real person. Could you imagine.
@@GippyHappy LLMAOOO EXACTLY
5:50 Jack Torrence is Jack Nicholson's character from The Shining, Tyler Durden and Robert Pulson are characters from Fight Club. Evan Jealous is a character Fred Durst played
Although they spelled Torrance wrong, they still get points for naming the fictional street he apparently lives on after the hotel from the book.
@@DistractedGlobeGuy Gonna have to deduct that point again, they misspelt Robert Paulson as well (as "Pulson", really? No-one else noticed that apparently)
I keep finding myself back on this one because of the sheer pain in that "OW" from Adam at 16:04. It really sounds like he shared that feeling
John Travolta must've studied Riding the Bus with My Sister for weeks to pull off an amazing performance like that.
I love how Adum's response to everything cartoonishly goofy in the movie is a *cartoonish goofy laugh*
Had I known about this character of Travolta's then I promise my halloween costume woulda been a hawaiian shirt and a fanny pack. bad luck i guess. gotta poo.
From IMDB:
"Dunbar threatening to shoot Moose with his rifle foreshadows Dunbar shooting Moose in the hand with his rifle."

“Just because you have mental issues doesn’t mean your hair has to have mental issues.”
I laughed way harder than I should’ve.
I actually have Asperger's and this movie upsets me. I worry when movies have characters that are supposed to be on the spectrum bc it seems Hollywood can't have a character be on the spectrum and not just be either a joke or a walking cluster of stereotypes. I'm always open about my Asperger's bc I want people to learn about it and learn that it's not really a handicap, it can be sometimes, but it's also just how I and a lot of other people are. Movies like this are part of the reason people assume Autism is the same as being mentally retarded and it's a huge problem that causes more harm than people realize.
You do know it is a spectrum. Every movie that has a autistic person has to show off the highly functioning almost normal ones. This seems like a semi accurate portrayal of the deep end of the spectrum. It is not a gift like a lot of Hollywood would like to pretend. It is a curse. Don't kid yourself.
Daniel McIntosh do you have any idea how much of a patronising dickhead you just sounded like

_Haha- wooOOH_
Really gotta love the fact that the Wikipedia page for this movie has dubbed it as a “psychological thriller” because boy oh boy do I enjoy 88 thrilling minutes of watching a middle aged man portray stereotypical traits of someone who has autism and also blatantly stalks an actor they admire due to an enabling friend who has no idea of what literal hell they unleashed when giving them said actor’s physical address.
Was there some sort of message/meaning or substance we were supposed to get out of this film that I may be missing? Was there a reason this *had* to be made?
I'd explain the meaning of the film to you but I don't have time to talk I gotta poo
I mean the intent of the film was a psychological thriller.
It’s a type of personal joke. A prank if you will.
Hmm John Travolta hiding in the closet.. I wonder if the movie is trying to tell me something
9/10
It's no Gotti.
Can we vote for John Travolta to get a razzie nomination? He deserves it just as much as Joaquin Phoenix does an oscar for Joker. He went just as hard as Joaquin did.
I would be shocked if the Razzies don't recognize Travolta's trainwreck of a performance in this film.
@@michaelstrong5383 it would be a damn shame if it isn't recognized at all. It truly is a movie that needs all the razzies it can get.
@@Sarahonwheels It feels like any other bad movie that's been released this year should just step down. We already have a winner with this film.
This movie will clean up at the Razzies.

Adum yelling "OW!" at 16:04 is just the funniest thing for some reason
This is one of my all time favorite, bad movies. Durst's ego is the best part of the whole film. To be fair, Travolta actually has the movements and mannerisms down pretty well, the character just suffers from really, REALLY, poor writing.
Argument: This is actually his most WELL ACTED ROLE ever.
