From a User Review on "Robot In The Family"'s IMDB page, dated 2006: "I am not ripping on this movie, I suggest everyone sees it, you'll appreciate everything else you ever see afterwards."
"Hey, forget the ham sandwich! I'm gonna hang out in the Big Empty for a spell; place's name reminds me of the 'pensive, piercing stare' I give the camera every time I nail a scene!"
It really shows the differences between the group when Mike and Rich want to call John Rhys-Davies "Sala", Jack wants to call him "Gimli" and Jay, surprising absolutely no-one, picks "Sliders"
i think they're underselling Jack's expressions, his face during robot in the family looked like he was watching someone precious to him be flayed. I have never seen that sheer a look of revulsed horror on someone before.
Yeah I feel like secretly they're afraid they'll cross a line with Macauley Culkin and upset him. AKA if they accidentally joke too much about his past.
Robot in the Family is so weird and nonsensical because it was supposed to be a completely different movie. It was originally called Golddigger and was about the dad using the robot for his get rich quick schemes, but they couldn't get a distributor, so they sold it as a kids movie after overdubbing and re-editing the entire movie.
John Rhys Davies left the 3rd season of the television series "Sliders" because he was disappointed with the decreasing quality of the show's scripts. He apparently had no such misgivings about "Robot In The Family".
Extremely wild to me given that I’m a little obsessed with sliders and it’s always been bad 😅 like a lot of those season 1 episodes have some really dumb writing
Agreed! There's something about when the old stalwarts are together... must be a Milwaukee thing... although I WOULD like to see a BOTW episode where Len Kabasinski, Neil Breen, Dave Wascavage, and Shoji Tabuchi watch and have a panel discussion about Space Cop. That would be amazing.
From the looks of them, you'd think these guys haven't slept or showered in days, but it's just the irreversible premature DNA deterioration effects caused by watching Robot in The Family. Rich Evans is only 26 years old.
Dear RLM. Fyi, "Shovelhead" is actually a generation of Harley Davidson engines. So it's actually a pretty good pun considering he was insulting a biker. This is CNN.
“This is CNN?” Oh let me guess, it’s another one of those jokes you have to explain in order for it to be remotely funny. I bet you’re a really funny person. Do yourself a favor and don’t quit your day job.
The joke isn't funny. You should've found some way to tie shovelhead or motorcycles to Russia, or just shit on trump in general. That's more like CNN than reporting actual facts.

when I see rich laugh, I don't see a man experiencing joy, I see a red faced man suffering the deepest and darkest pains that no other mortal can even handle, he laughs like a bird suffering having lost it's mate, but still making the call for her, in the hopes she'll respond.
Rich Evans stands in bathroom, soundtrack by Hildur Guðnadóttir starts playing as he does a slow, meditative and hypnotising dance. He wishes to cry but instead laughs reluctantly. He acknowledges that his life is nothing but a comedy.

In Germany we have a saying that goes "Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leid" which roughly translates into "Shared pain is half the pain" and I think it describes this experience very well.
But he was hitting him with a shovel. If he wanted to make it a motorcycle reference, he should have gotten on a motorcycle, grabbed the shovel, and smacked him in the head while riding past him, and said something like "eat shovelhead, bitch" or something like that.
Rich: "That's an unrelated ancient, priceless artifact that has been stolen!" Mike: *[Proceeds to cover his face and devolve into an existential crisis]*
Just watching BOTW in my room upstairs and I hear my brother coming up....Me: 'Hey, new Best of the Worst dropped.'. My brother:'Ya, I heard Rich's laugh from downstairs.
It's like Leo left the mission mid-way through and returned to town to sell some items and buy some health and then went back to the mission area and the target character was still just there idly waiting for him.
For that, you want Lightning Fast VHS Repair, just down the street. Run by a couple of DC fanboys who mostly just hang out with their friends, guzzling energy drinks.
Showdown's ending reminds me of that classic scene in Star Trek II: The Wraith of Khan where Khan takes his ship into a gas cloud and then Kirk goes back to earth and asks where Khan is and they tell him he's in the gas cloud, so Kirk goes to Mars and finds Khan there and chases him back into the gas cloud.

Amazingly Sliders is apart of his television credits despite his embarrassment of being apart of its production during the final days of it airing on Fox. I could tell that after the second season he was phoning it in very hard.
I finally noticed in the recent "blindfolded picks" video. The shelves behind the couch are right next to the double shelf of videos that blindfolded Rich "accidentally" knocked down.
Hearing Mike whisper "Oh my god" under his breathe during Robot in the Family brought a tremendous amount of joy to me, thank you guys, you are all the best :).
I love that Robot in the Family couldn't choose between "Who's watching the kids?" and "Some assembly required.." so they put them BOTH on the VHS cover

i was literally thinking the same thing lmao. the whole movie seems like an adhd simulator, representative of both the constant nonsensical noise in ur head and the expirience of overstimulation/sensory overload. its like what being in a crowded place feels like
Nice observation! I don't know how long has it been since the last episode of just Mike, Jay, Jack and Rich Evans watching three dumb B-movies. Really missed those
Last time seems to be April of 2018 when they did Hologram Man, Faust and another Leo Fong movie. I love the gimmicks and the guests, but it would be nice to see the format and panelists that made the channel so great, more than once every two years.
Interesting, the plot in Showdown is kind of similar to the history of the freetown Chirstiania in Copenhagen during the mid 80s to mid 90s. Bunch of hippies, anarchists and collectivists moved into old abandoned army baracks and declared independence in 1971. The freetown had no police authority and open cannabis trade, so naturally a biker gang moved in and decided they were now the de facto authority and controllers of the drug trade, this eventually lead to a bunch of murders and a gang war.
@A J No shit, the bikers have arms even if you outlaw them, Australian bikers have all the machineguns they want, and it's not even legal to carry a handgun in that shitty country, much less using one to defend your life if you actually have one legally. The bikers are either not going to trifle with a large group of people with M16s, or they will try it and they will die.
Robot in the Family is like if the random nonsense of Ryan's Babe and Dangerous Men had a kid, and that kid was raised with crackhead energy by "The Scot" from Top Slots: Spotting the Best
I absolutely love Jay going "What is this? What IS this!?" at 45:34. Makes me laugh on every rewatch. You can genuinely feel how visceral and authentic his confusion is.
Robot in the Family : 'HoldmybeerohhellothereprettyladyisitaprettyladyoramItoodrunktotellwatchthisIamgonnastressouteveryonewithmyendlesstalkingyesIamohboydon'tlooknowI'mcomingCharlieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!"
For anyone who didn't get the 'shovelhead' line, it's a Harley reference. Harley's engines have gone through iterative redesigns, and several of them are colloquially known by the shape of the cylinder head, e.g. Panhead, Shovelhead.
I like to think that Jack still has enthusiasm because he's allowed to escape to the Escapist while everyone else is slowly dying in the entropy that is RLM warehouse, unable to leave.
RLM is just a long term version of Saw where the guys cant escape and eventually have to kill each other to stop watching terrible movies about elderly abuse
MarkeyDeSad botw started because they watched bad movies together and decided to turn on the camera one day. i dont think that jack getting a schtick on the escapist would make him stop hanging out with his friends
Child celebrities as famous as him often get stuck in drugs and such, it's a sad but common occurrence. Just look at the home alone guy, he was really famous when he was young, but now all he does is make guest appearances on some shitty youtube channel.
The reason the blind man in 'Robot in the family' sounds like Pantaloon is because it is the director "Jack" Shoul who is turkic and really sounds like that. He also own an antique store. Pantaloon is basically playing the director.

when I see rich laugh, I don't see a man experiencing joy, I see a red faced man suffering the deepest and darkest pains that no other mortal can even handle, he laughs like a bird suffering having lost it's mate, but still making the call for her, in the hopes she'll respond.

Rich Evans stands in bathroom, soundtrack by Hildur Guðnadóttir starts playing as he does a slow, meditative and hypnotising dance. He wishes to cry but instead laughs reluctantly. He acknowledges that his life is nothing but a comedy.

There's a copy of Robot in the Family sitting on a shelf in my parent's basement. I assumed it was the only one in existence and planned on sending it to you. Thankfully someone else did so that I can torture my loved ones.

In Germany we have a saying that goes "Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leid" which roughly translates into "Shared pain is half the pain" and I think it describes this experience very well.

I’m stoked to see Rich Evans onscreen in the first few seconds.
The RLM guys figured out quite a while ago that a little Rich Evans makes every video better.
Doesn't look all that stoked tho.

"shovelhead" is a motorcycle reference, an old style of HD engine. Doesn't make the line any better writing but it made an iota of sense
Overruled.
But he was hitting him with a shovel. If he wanted to make it a motorcycle reference, he should have gotten on a motorcycle, grabbed the shovel, and smacked him in the head while riding past him, and said something like "eat shovelhead, bitch" or something like that.

Rich: "That's an unrelated ancient, priceless artifact that has been stolen!"
Mike: *[Proceeds to cover his face and devolve into an existential crisis]*
I love how randomly heavy Mike's accent is with certain words, like Winnebago. It just makes me smile.
Sukki Blue As I read this comment, Mike said “Winnebago.”
Full UP-er.

Interesting, the plot in Showdown is kind of similar to the history of the freetown Chirstiania in Copenhagen during the mid 80s to mid 90s. Bunch of hippies, anarchists and collectivists moved into old abandoned army baracks and declared independence in 1971. The freetown had no police authority and open cannabis trade, so naturally a biker gang moved in and decided they were now the de facto authority and controllers of the drug trade, this eventually lead to a bunch of murders and a gang war.
When you have freedoms like that, you need to arm yourselves to secure it from predators like.
@A J well its either have it or use it or leave it or book it.
@A J and the bikers would've thought twice, because they would've still get shot.
Its called deterrence.
@A J No shit, the bikers have arms even if you outlaw them, Australian bikers have all the machineguns they want, and it's not even legal to carry a handgun in that shitty country, much less using one to defend your life if you actually have one legally.

For anyone who didn't get the 'shovelhead' line, it's a Harley reference. Harley's engines have gone through iterative redesigns, and several of them are colloquially known by the shape of the cylinder head, e.g. Panhead, Shovelhead.
