- Mike and Jay discuss the new found-footage-ish demonic movie Late Night with the Devil! But more importantly, they break a very important and rare VCR repair tool or something.

i cant fucking believe theres a half in the bag on a movie that i worked on. ive been watching you guys for like ten years and now youre reviewing a thing i helped with!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done. Most remarkable movie I’ve seen this year so far. Cheers!
And the movie didn't suck so kudos!
@dantalione I just saw it on apple this past Thursday, and it was good! Had a nice time with it 😁
Dude I helped with it too! How about them craft services!?
I did see there were covid protocols for this movie (something you don't see credited now these days). Was it difficult or exhausting to stay safe and not get covid?
The amount of production company logos at the beginning made a good amount of people in our theater laugh
It made me laugh as well it reminded me of that bit in family guy where peter keeps waiting for the movie and it’s all company logos
I laughed out loud at home!
@@kevinsmoon3257I thought the exact same thing
This movie had more productoin logos than Tim and Eric's 'Bonjour, Diamond Jim'
it doesn't help that the last two companies were literally "Future Pictures: Since 2068 and "Spooky Pictures." who names their production company that??? it feels like a parody, i assumed it was a joke on the movie's part by the time i saw those
I'm glad the actor playing the host is doing great. He went from being the Jokers silent henchman to McDonald's commercials then bounced back and and has made a sweet career
He has a NAME
@videoestres it's a crazy hard name to remember
It was Wendy's buddy!! How dare you say he got paid by a shill company like McDonalds 😢😢
Frostys are so tasty btw 😋
It’s easy to remember. It’s David Dalmatian.
@@AlexS-xh6udEasy to remember, harder to spell. Dalmachian.
It's like best of the worst is good to watch before bed to fall asleep. While Half in the Bag is perfect for folding laundry.
100%
For me it's the opposite. I can't fall asleep to BotW mostly because of Rich Evans and his devilish laughter that keeps me awake.
Or working out, or getting ready for work!
I feel like at this point, rlm has probably destroyed a statistically significant number of the world's vcrs.
Dude... They repair 'em...
That's what lightning fast vcr repair is for.
Naaaaah that's too much work. Just glue the broken one back together and then destroy it over and over again until profit!
The Kaiba principle. If they destroy all the other cards then their own are more valuable.
They're boosting the value just like their nukie tape
Every two years, someone in need gets a really short wig from Jay, and I think that's beautiful
You can only donate if you grow a certain length that would make it workable. You cant make a short wig out of not even shoulder length hair.

@@gsesquire3441 it was a joke, friend
Check out "The Devil of Christmas" episode of the British show "Inside No.9" (series 3, episode 1). The conceit is that its the raw footage of the recording of a 1970s BBC Christmas scare story (with some moments of 'audio commentary'), but they went full-on with the authenticity by using the actual cameras and lighting rigs that would've been used in the 1970s, and then employing the retired camera operators etc who knew how to run all that gear, in order to actually shoot the episode (which was also shot in the same manner that such a Christmas ghost story of the period would've been shot - in two days on a BBC soundstage with multiple cameras). Even the costumes were from the 1970s. A lot of what Jay wishes LNWTD looked like is exactly how that episode looks, and it works brilliantly.
Sounds great, on my list now, thanks for the info
That episode was hilarious and so well done!
HELL YEAH! Inside No. 9 is amazing, and that episode is one of the best.
Was just about to mention this and the Deadline special, which was made as a spiritual successor to Ghostwatch. Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton are horror/comedy geniuses.
Is it good or just funny?
Mike did in fact start the REAL long narrative arc in this episode: Jay dying from burnt cork inhalation.
IT GAVE HIM AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDSSSSSSSS!
I love that Mike managed to make Jay say "self sealing stem bolt."
...by the seashore
What episode was the self-sealing stem bolt from again?

@@concernedrn2844 you seem... concerned.
Hope you can make it to the next half in the bag lol
Damn that overlay edit y'all did to make it older was exactly what I was rhinking the entire time. Full fan edit please and thank you
Glad they caught the 7 different production companies at the beginning. I actually rewound it after going, "What the hell?"
how can it not be a deliberate joke.. Spooky Pictures? would be funny if they used AI to generate fake movie studios
There were 10
@@KenWenWinPow they legitimately had that hard of a time securing funding. It was a co-production by multiple different studios.
@@whalenonfools i get that but refuse to believe 'Spooky Pictures' with that title card that looks like it was done on MS Paint is real. I just googled it and there is a New Zealand production company with that name and their website has no mention of Late Night With The Devil. The wikipedia page for the film lists Spooky Pictures but it doesn't even have it's own page
Jays edit to make it look like 70's video footage is actually really effective, I can tell what he means when he says it feels more authentic.
I was thinking the same thing once they started showing the footage. It looks weird since it's lit and staged like a 1970s show but it's clean and crisp like a modern film.
As someone who really liked this movie, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get the points they made
I really love the look of VHS but I think that would have also been wrong for '77. They would probably be shooting on film then so it should have just been softer and grainier looking but I completely agree with his point that they should have leaned much harder into the aesthetic.
I thought I was the only one who caught that, lol
@@katanalevygames you can't shoot live on film
I love how they zoom in on Jay when Mike says "VHS Weirdos".
He's not wrong, jay is the biggest freak of the bunch.
25:14
8:00 - The Owl was likely to signify the gigantic Owl statue at Bohemian Grove, which the character was repeatedly eluded to having visited in the movie. They hold a mock ritual sacrifice in front of that statue every year, and child sacrifice was also mentioned in the movie as a component of the cultists rituals. Owls represent wisdom to most occult groups.
Alluded
It's Moloch. Also the elites don't just engage in mock sacrifices. They also literally sacrifice children.
Esoteric Hollywood by Jay Dyer is a good background into the occult in Hollywood.
@@exercisebook4154 Yes, the (((elites))).
@@exercisebook4154 - There's no evidence they've actually sacrificed anybody at Bohemian Grove, in fact the footage Alex Jones got in the 90's was embarrassingly lame and felt like something you'd see at a Six Flags Fright Fest. Richard Nixon didn't seem too impressed with it either.
As a British person, can we stand together to the memory of Michael Parkinson! The equivilant of Letterman!
The what?
Proper legend. Rest in peace
I love how real Mike's hair looks.
I'm more impressed by how they made it look like Jay got a haircut. How'd they fit all that hair under the wig?
Close enough!
I think it is real?!
Jay gave him the hair he cut off.
Magic spray on cans
So happy that Ghostwatch got a mention! I was 10 years old when it aired on the BBC, and I can tell you that lots of people were convinced of its authenticity.
I am curious though. Wouldn't people have noticed Craig Charles in it as a clue that it was fake? Red Dwarf had started 3 years earlier.
I was 6 when it aired and have only seen it as an adult, but I know a couple of people slightly older than me who were traumatised by it 😅 It's out on Bluray and holds up pretty well 👍
Was around the same age, creepy for the time. Having Parkinson host was a nice touch for credibility. What was the ghost/demon called? Was it mr pipes or something like that.
@JoeJoe-lq6bd Craig was playing himself in Ghost Watch as was Parkinson. They didn't pretend to be someone else, the big names were themselves.
@@JoeJoe-lq6bd All of the people were contemporary personalities so it's not THAT out of the realms of feasibility for his inclusion. Sarah Greene, Michael Parkinson etc. If it was real, including him in the production would have made sense to act as a potential comic relief. Craig works well with kids (Robot Wars being a fantastic example)
You know it's a Jay edited episode when the description fits one line without having to hit more.
I’m only one minute in and I swear Mike and Jay’s prowess as a comedic duo are up there with the greats like Laurel and Hardy. I got to interview them in college within the first few episodes of Half in the Bag and boy am I glad I did. RLM remains my favorite channels on TH-cam. Keep it up, guys! Incredible work.
I see Jay has completed his Jesus arc and has returned to looking like someone from this century
Jay is timeless
Jay has finally completed his liking Men arc
Very cool.
he looks like a revolutionary war general
Slicked and parted is definitely last century. Current century is the broccoli cut.
The self sealing stem bolt bit was just the bit of Mike Star Trek comedy I needed to warm the cold cockles of my heart
God I was hoping someone else caught this.
My god that was such a deep cut
*smiles with tiny ferengi fangs*
@@alejandrocano1087 someone better add that they’re used for VCR repair to memory alpha 😂
@@antonyriley1854 "You have to learn WHY things work on a VCR"...
the shot of Jay when Mike says "VHS weirdos" was pure gold
I never knew how badly I needed to see Jay’s face whilst hearing Mike say, “…VCR weirdos” until this video.
Great editing choice, Jay 👍🏻
Wow! The AI image software they used to generate Mike and Jay for this episode is honestly impressive, although I could tell Mike was fake by his unnatural lurching..
Yeah, no way Mike looks that old in real life.
@@adcon00if anything, they de-aged him.
I mean, it got some of the details wrong like mikes head is far too small.
They managed to hide their weird hands for most shots. I think that helped
@@jesusaguirre2150 But if you look close, you can still tell they're weird with only five fingers on each hand.
To Mike's point about staying closer to reality being scarier, the only part that I found mildly creepy was early on when there was that person in the audience dressed up as a skeleton and it seemed that there was something off with him, based on the way they shot him.
Yeah I was waiting for him to come back the whole time lol
That Skeleton man was my favorite minor character. Always present. So stoic. What an icon!
It made me think of the Yellow Sign. "I wear no mask." "No mask? No mask!" That type of thing.
Arguably the most authentic talk show part because he's an obvious crowd member to shoot where in a narrative film it's a weird tease that doesn't pay off.
Yes, that was uncanny. I was like, what the hell is wrong with that guy
My favorite part of the video is that Mike and Jay apparently understood a Svengoolie reference.
after watching the movie, i can see where jay is coming from it stops feeling like an actual talk show fast but i think it still works. the ending really drives the whole fever dream feeling they seemed like they were going for. It would be super cool to see a version of Late Night With The Devil where they commit fully to the lost media bit more, but i think the existing film was really enjoyable and presents its themes super well. The acting, the scoring, and the pacing all worked together to drive the waking dreamer idea; to the point that a lot of the shots felt like they were from a dream.
I actually had an idea to re edit it like it was a recording of the broadcast from 1977 adding in actual commercials and whatnot, as well as do what Jay said with the quality and the audio. Only thing is i’d need to cut out the beginning, the behind the scenes and end which would suck but its more for fun than anything.
A minute in and we're hitting the *top-shelf DS9 references with "self-sealing stem BOLTS"* - perfect

I doubt this one even registered with Jay...
I love RLM for these jokes.
@@whatsgoingon71 yeah. Is he stupid?
David Dastmalchian has been in The Dark Knight, The Ant-Man films, Dune 1 and 2, Oppenheimer, and Bladerunner 2049, among others. But looks like he's always going to be known as Polka Dot Man.
Not in Dune 2, his character dies in the first film.
@@brandondavis3431 You know, I didn’t think he was, but Google said he was in it so I included it. But yeah, still a hugely impressive list though.
@@alexp601How could you forget Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie??? His magnum opus!!!
Lol, that movie was terrible. 🤣@@gsesquire3441
The Boogeyman, Last Voyage of the Demeter also.
I thought the skeptic was that theatrical and the scene with him and the WILD reality-bending hypnosis happened because the possessed girl really WAS a fake and he would be the actual devil calling it out and wreaking havoc on the show. I figured the jacket change into the maroon was foreshadowing and the fact that he was so nonchalant about it all, including the worm bit where he made thousands of people see a living nightmare. That would’ve been a much cooler and unexpected route.
I assumed that the hypnosis was altered by the demon/Minnie to fuck with the skeptic
1:01 even in a horror Half in the bag, he manages to put in a neckbeard level trek reference. love it.
The skeptic character was totally based on magician turned debunker James Randi. He had a bounty for any sort of psychic or paranormal activity he couldn't debunk as well. And I'm pretty sure the psychic guy was based off Uri Geller.
Absolutely, you're spot on. And the Owl and the Grove is Bohemian Grove where world leaders and celebrities meet up and burn a giant owl.
THANK YOU! I screamed that (in my head) the entire movie. Check in the pocket, great magician and stage performer, it was CLEALY Randi. The man who took down Gellar, and many other charlatan goons...via the demonstrable scientific method. A hero to truth, and an enemy to bull s......
RIP Randy. You did good
So which character was Johnny Carson?
I was really surprised that neither of them brought it up.
Jay's graceful evolution into Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan Kenobi continues and is going very well
You know who did this premise well? Joe Bob with his Friday the 13th marathon. The show slowly degrades as JBB is stalked by Jason and loses his crew and eventually his mind. All of it shot like a standard episode of the drive-in.
I was ten years old, and abandoned by my baby sitter. I tuned into Ghost Watch and, yes, of course I missed the disclaimer. It was amazing.
Polka dot man doomed to be known as the Polka dot man because his last name is too hard
Polka Dot?
"OK. If you insist."
DUST-mal-chən according to Wiki. His father is Iranian, hence the origin of his name.
I used my com-puu-ter to get that information.
For me he reminds me of my ex so to me he's known as creepy looking guy
It does sound like a demon name though.
Before Polka Dot Man I knew him as the guy from LOST

I love and have been following the work you guys have been doing, since 2012. Congratulations for always bringing interesting takes and analyses! I always feel that your videos (Half in the Bag, Re:View, BOTW, etc) are like a fantastic film school. So thank you so much! My intention with this message is just to say that I think a Re:View dedicated to "Ghostwatch" would be awesome (especially now that you indicated you know the film)! Knowing of Mike's interest for the supernatural and Jay's knowledge on the horror genre, I am sure it would be a fantastic episode! At least I would deeply appreciate it. Thank you for the great work once again, guys!
A Ghostwatch Re:View episode this Halloween, please RLM. 🙏
A great found footage thing to check out is “X-Cops” the X Files episode where the cast of Cops runs into them and follows them for the whole episode. It’s really one of my favorite uses of that genre.
That's such a fun episode
A minute in and we're already whipping out semi-obscure Star Trek references.
You made my day with the Svengoolie reference mention.
The skeptic was based on James Randi and his confrontations with Uri Geller, whom the psychic was based on. Randi was pretty theatrical in real life. The movie character was much more of a prick than Randi, but the affectation wasn't that far off.
James Randi fucking rocked. I love his commitment to sticking it to conmen like Geller.
Geller was just one person, who he exposed.
Randi was much more important exposing how faith healers, and evangelicals in general, do their cons.
Eh I've heard Randi wasn't the most pleasant person in-person actually. Bit of a diva as I understand it. But that's all loose talk.
@@MidlifeCrisisJoehe was a closeted gay man born during the civil war. Of course he was a sassy little minx.
Just like the skeptic on LNWTD - Randi offered prize money to anyone he couldn't debunk.
One of my favorite movies in recent time. I also appreciate the lost art of keeping movies under 2 hours
For real like why does the little mermaid live action need to be over 2 hours.
@@aaronsustaita277 no idea, that could have actually be a decent movie if edited well
Horror especially, if you're not making something like the Shining I don't see why you gotta cross the 2 hour mark.
@@schmiddi5768 true. just watched event horizon, that movie moves like a truck forward and does all it needs
We DEMAND the Jay cut, with the 80s old VHS filter.
These episodes truly are the best.. miss them the most.
Finally I've watched a movie before the half in the bag
Same. I watched it yesterday.
Love the DS9 reference, Mike. I want to see a Half in the Bag where Mike sneaks in as many obscure Star Trek references as possible to see how many he can get in before Jay catches on.
So what you really want... is to see the behind the scenes of a TNG parody similar to their STD parodies. Starring Mike, Rich and Jay. So every time they give him his line he can ask, "What does that even mean?" And constantly reiterate, "Oh my, that sounds filthy."
I second the motion.
@@pogglywoggly3292 Well that, but Jay doesn't even know it's a Star Trek reference at all. The ST references would have to be so on topic and inspecific to Trek that Jay wouldn't even bat an eye at it.
Dropping episode titles might be the easiest way to do it.
Damn that VCR effect actually looked great 🤣
One noteworthy thing about Ghostwatch and that disclaimer - it evidently began at 9:25PM. Most movies would typically start at the 30 minute or hour mark. So this little detail allowed it to quickly say it was fiction in the least conspicuous way possible as most people would assume it started at 9:30.
uh further and more realistic
I was one of those who missed the disclaimer and it terrified me. Luckily I stuck it out to the end otherwise I might have gone on thinking it was real.
@@DanHammondsAlso someone who watched it originally, and missed the beginning. Scared the shit out of me! I don’t think I even made it to the end when it gets over the top.
Finally got around to watching Ghostwatch just a few weeks ago and was really impressed.
I didn't know about Civil War's posters fiasco. Damn, that's embarrassing, even in Hollywood standards.
Not really
I think what's embarrassing is how people reacted.
It got even worse when all of the AI’s sex crimes came to light
Mostly embarrassing because it’s A24 and their highest budget movie yet
@@olafrandel3065 God forbid people expect more effort from massive billion dollar corporations than slapping a bunch of garbage into an AI generator.
It's insulting the lack of effort.
Proper happy you guys talked about Ghostwatch. I remember ot as a kid and it was genuinely scary to my childs brain.
Damn. That VHS-ified version has a great feel to it. A fan edit making the rest of the movie like that would be amazing.
Never thought I'd hear Michael Parkinson's dulcet tones on RLM video.
Oh it was Parky! Cheers mate, that would have bugged me all night.
Ee by gum Meg Ryan
National treasure and television icon Parkinson being described as "some old british guy" is a subtle blend of culture shock and existential dread.
@@SUK2293 That was his one failure, IMO. People took his side at the time, like 'Oh Meg, what a sour diva', but if you look at it again, he was asking her very triggering questions, asking why Americas sweetheart would be in such a movie with nudity like In the Cut, and was basically trying to shame her career choices. And the camera kept zooming in on her lips which she clearly had done. It was mean spirited, from beginning to end. So awkward, but i blame him, not her.
@@paulinegallagher7821 I'm sure years later Parkinson admitted he shouldn't have lost his temper and that he came across pompous with Meg Ryan
Finally.. I can stop rewatching old episodes
Not for long...
I don't know what happened to me but the last two weeks were just half in the bag episodes while I was working
During the screening that I went to, after the about the 90th production/distribution company logo appeared, another popped up and in the dead silent theater the gentleman in front of me screamed, "WHAT THE FUCK!!!". Huge ovation.
So glad you mentioned Ghostwatch, I still remember when it was aired live in the UK
Speaking of artistically liberal movie posters, RedLetterMedia would probably love the Godzilla vs Megalon poster which prominently features the titular monsters somehow on top of the World Trade Center towers.
Also the King Kong 1976 remake poster showed him standing astride the towers, one foot on each roof. Fun movie.
the sceptic was definitely modelled on James Randi (fun fact: he's played by the actor who played the guy who gets possessed by Agent Smith in the Matrix Reloaded)
James Randi was also on Carson IRL to debunk grifters
He had the WIDEST 70s shirt collar
Yeah, he looked familiar to me during most of the movie, and when they made a close-up, I was like "...Bane?"
he was the worst part of the move
Even down to the money offered.
They didn't talk about it in this video, but how did people feel about the hypnosis scene? That was the scariest part of the movie for me, and I feel like it succeeded where the later effects-heavy possession stuff stumbled.
I agree, that was an excellent part of the movie and is what I remember clearly the most. They kind of "bring the movie into the real world" with that bit.
Thank goodness the headdrum issue was resolved without transporting Mr Plinkett's house to the bottom of the ocean, to confront his evil twin, who's Jay's real father and is married to Mike's long lost good twin, then shenanigans ensue.
The movie should have leaned harder into looking like a late-night program. There were too many shots that could not have been from the studio cameras.
There are some horror movies where you just want to spend hours hanging out with the characters and the world, before everything goes to hell. This is definitely one of those movies. As crazy as the later half is, I feel like I could've watched 10 hours of the first act, just random episodes of the talk show with colorful guests.
I haven’t seen it but that’s a very attractive recommendation, character is everything but a lot of horror and sci-fi movies ignore it.
@@seaoftranquility7228 Exactly, Hollywood big wigs think they can skimp on character stuff for horror movies but forget that some of the best horror movies have good characters.
i could listen to Mike explaining whats wrong with Ai images all day
Armenian?
The movie reminded me of an Argentinean film: History of the Occult. I strongly recommend watching it, it delivers imo a better late night atmosphere and a sense of dread. It also features fake commercials and the programme constantly reminds you of the time (only 30mins till midnight type of stuff). I DO like Late Night with the Devil but the subtlety of History of the Occult suits my tastes better.
Ty for the rec, renting it to watch tonight.
Craig Charles! Let's have a three hour video where Mike dissects Red Dwarf.
Never mind Craig Charles. Sarah Greene, hubba hubba!
Great video but when is the Dune 2 discussion coming
I'm so excited for this next story arc in the RLMCU! Very cool! Very cool!
The movie not committing to the aesthetic was my biggest issue. I love the concept of Late Night with the Devil, but they don’t fully commit to it being an actual recording of a late night show.
I think most people agree the movie is EXCELLENT until the end, when they drop the very premise of the movie, and becomes generic AF
@@Jose-se9pu Yeah, the ending bothered me the most. It would’ve been awesome if they just fully committed and it didn’t turn into The Conjuring.
I found the commercial break parts confusing, not just because of the clear upgrade in quality, it seemed like no one noticed the cameras at all so wondered if they were part of it. At the beginning it says it's made from the episode and discovered behind the scene footage but I might have heard it wrong but took me out every time.
They did fully commit. It was, SPOILER ALERT: hypnosis.
I actually agree with you. It felt like it had a great concept that didn’t fully go there. I was disappointed by it overall. But all the elements are there.
I loved the ending scene- I thought the electric demon with the split head was horrific!
everything after the static should have been cut
I agree and think they should have played it up even more--added artifacting and simulated tape damage in that portion of the frame anytime the demon was visible. Really push the implication that we're getting a glimpse of something that's too sublime and terrible to be captured accurately on tape.
@@EwoktheMoid great ideas - yep and that would be one relatively easy fan-edit
Agreed. I don't know what RLM mean by 'of this connoisseurs genre' because I've seen waaaaay too many 'creepy zombie-ish girl OooOOOOooo!!!' """subtle""" monsters that just look cheap. The fact is that that wouldn't be scary, anyway. The electric eldritch demon at least looked unique and rad (which clicks with me because some of the best horror movies are cool but not actually that scary). I want more studios to have the balls and confidence in their monster designs to not go down the cheap, knock-off exorcist route. I loved the film from start to finish and my only gripe with it was the off-air scenes not being shot as if it was by a sneaky crew member.
I agree, I felt so sorry for the girl!

Stem Bolt reference, bless you DS9.
Thank you for forcing Jay to say the words “self-sealing Stembolt” 🖖
I really enjoyed this one. I'm surprised they didn't realize it was based on what James Randy used to do. He used to be a magician, he has a fund, he went on talk shows to disprove hack fraud supernatural powers... That stuff was big back then, bending spoons and what not.
Those Zoomers Mike and Jay don't know what the 70s are
That video of Randi and the bowlcut karate master who claims he could move paper and pencils by doing a Kamehameha wave of sorts is an all time classic
That's the first person I thought of.
Jay getting his game hair on....look out Mike he's interviewing at other repair shops
This road trip seems like the perfect opportunity for a found footage episode.
I liked the movie but I agree about some of the camerawork being unrealistic. I've always wanted someone to make a really gory, gruesome, black-and-white slow-burn horror movie set in the late '30s/early '40s using the same kind of cinematography that would have been appropriate for a Hollywood movie of that period. I think the juxtaposition would be really interesting.
The skeptic's mannerisms kind of remind me of Jonathan Winters on Carson
pretty sure the reason the skeptic guy was so theatrical was because he became famous for being a "magician" so you can easily imagine him doing all those theatrics during his actual acts. I thought it actually made perfect sense
Yep, claiming the famous stage magician was too theatrical made me wonder if they've ever actually seen any of those guys in action. There's nothing subtle about them.
"VHS weirdos"
*camera holds on Jay*
That frame made me legit laugh out loud
Jay not liking Skinamarink is the most shocking thing I’ve heard in a long time.
I’ve been waiting my whole life for Mike to make a self-sealing stem bolt joke!
Yamok sauce flavored pizza rolls
By the way, if anyone wants some other British shows that do this idea better, I’d recommend Inside No.9’s Deadline and in another format, The Devil at Christmas. I actually thought of the latter when Jay was talking about how this movie doesn’t feel like it’s from the time period it’s meant to take place in, The Devil at Christmas did such a good job of feeling like the kind of production the BBC would make in the ‘70s that it enhanced the horror so much.
yes! both of those episodes of inside no 9 are miles ahead of this movie, funnier and scarier
We are currently living in a horror movie renaissance, and I'm stoked about that.
Cannot wait for Maxxxine any longer
It never left
@@tadhglattimore2439indeed, it's just been kinda pushed to the background because horror isn't a genre that will get you any awards at all those high-falutin' award ceremonies.
But it's pretty cheap to do something decent, so I imagine after 2023's year of massive flops, we're going to see lots of horror
Anyone else think that Jays edit looks kind of amazing? its a shame they didn't go with that kind of effect as they could of gotten away with so much practical effects by having it covered with that kind of filter
The closeup on jay when mike said vhs weirdos was everything haha
Hollywood thought that evil robots would look like people, but they actually look like terrible movie posters.
I expect they look like terrible movie posters and very good movie posters, we just don't notice the good ones as AI

Thanks for your input on artist merit vs AI at the beginning of this video.
I finished watching the movie tonight, and 10 minutes in to the review - I want the Jay edit.
I'll give you 35 wrappages of Cardassian yamok sauce for that bolt in as-is condition
Pretty sure you can just buy those from legate Khloé.
@@krisluedke9557 ok that's a much better deal
The movie relies in a lot of real people and events. James Randi, Anton Lavey, Bohemian Groove etc.
Bohemian Groove is brilliant.
finally jay talked abt skinamarink in a video... ive been waiting since the damn thing came out
Jay's edit looked so much more authentic but I get it, it would put off a lot of people
I think we need a fan edit now that looks like an actual 70's tapes
And real art for the indents.
Let's do it with AI!
I firstly remember the actor David as the paranoid schizophrenic from The Dark Knight. Harvey Dent kidnapped him and flipped his coin, etc. He did a great job playing someone with that particular mental illness
He has great range, he was in that recent Dracula movie ‘last voyage of the Demeter’ and I didn’t even recognize him for half the movie because he was playing the character so well
I like him, he always plays schizos, he is perfect in recent Boogieman
