You guys forgot to mention the fucking ridiculous plane scene in the Amazing Spiderman 2 where two planes almost smash each other for no reason when the grid goes off. Spiderman has no idea it's even happening, it has absolutely no consequence anywhere to anyone in the movie, it's never talked about later, and when the grid does finally go back on the planes cartoonishly turn and avoid each other when they're 1 foot away.
Richs' outfit is trend setting. Green t-shirt sleeves provocatively poking out from underneath a shirt is going to be the fashion statement of the summer.
Electro was an electrical engineer. In order to be an electrical engineer, you need to be certified in electrical safety. Jamie Foxx tries to connect two live electrical wires without any safety suit. Makes sense.
Not just that, but to be an electrical ENGINEER requires a degree. Is this movie trying to tell me that a man who spent at least two years (I believe it is actually four, but I'm not sure) obtaining a degree in electrical engineering never learned that live wires shouldn't be crossed?
fourcrippledhorses The bar is low, but even your average homeowner generally knows NOT to cross live wires. Not everyone of course, but most people I know understand why you should flip a breaker before doing electrical work.
The plot to the Amazing Spiderman 2 is that he wants to date Gwen, but he can't date Gwen because he made a promise to Ghost Dad that he wouldn't. But then he does date Gwen anyway, and she dies, so he's guilty. And he learns that with great power comes great responsibility or something. But then he's not guilty anymore because she made a speech before she died saying that he shouldn't be guilty when she dies. And that frees him up to be Spiderman again, so he can fight a guy in a mechanical rhino suit. But the guy in the mechanical rhino suit kills him, which is why the movie ends there. It's like the Sopranos. You don't get to see that scene because it's the end of Spiderman. And the lesson is that he should have kept his word to Ghost Dad. It's a morality tale.
+MP197742 The moral of the movie is that if you have to fight a dude inside a mechanical rhino suit, bring something more effective than a manhole cover.
Fun fact: I actually saw Paul Giamatti perform in Hamlet a year or so ago. He was fantastic. Afterwards I got to speak with him and he said he was going to be in the new Amazing Spider-Man film and I honestly don't think he was too enthusiastic about it.
@@frankmerker630 right? Who makes up such a specific story that is also not at all over the top? Like, famous people interact with us normies from time to time, and some are bound to be people that watch TH-cam
In the trailer to Amazing Spiderman II, Electro says: "Soon the world will know what it means to live in a world without Spider-man" That turned me totally off, cause I already know what that is like. Why would I watch that?
But... Even within the context of the movie universe, Peter's only been Spiderman for months or like, a year. The majority of people in New York know what it's like without Spiderman. 😕
Electro's entire motivation: he ends up in times square, people with cameras start filming his ass and he likes this attention. Then Spiderman appears and the cameras point at Spiderman and not him for a bit. That pisses Electro off. And that's it. That's all the motivation the man needs. "Well they stopped giving me attention for a sec. Time to destroy the world." This movie is f*cking horrible
Samara Wagner "Also, It's my birthday! People who have never even met me should tell me I'm special and important!" That Django Unplugged creep is almost as bad as the Arachn-Idiot!
Electro loves Spider-Man so much that when Spider-Man fails to recall his name, he felt betrayed. He then looked at Gwen and thought: "That bitch took away my love" and decided that if Spider-Man couldn't live with him, he would kill him and finally committed suicide.
I love that they made fun of ME3's ending, but it was especially funny hearing Mike call it "the most disappointing thing ever." I immediately hear Plinkett saying "the most disappointing thing since my son" and "the most disappointing thing since... well... probably the phantom menace."
For those that have scrolled down this far, note that when amazing spider man 2 came out it was seriously a mixed reaction. People actually argued online that it was a good movie. Let that sink in

great video but I am incredibly disappointed that they didn't touch on the rhino. The scene with the rhino was the worst thing in the whole movie. After the whole movie ends, this cartoonish transformers rhino mech comes in for exactly 3 minutes and is just like "I'M GONNA KILL THIS LITTLE KID BECAUSE I'M EVIL" and the little kid, defying what any little kid would actually do, stands up to this giant fucking robot instead of running. Spidey comes in, and quips a joke and slings a web. end credits.

Balázs Radics Perhaps you could find some bestiality video on the internet with Scarlet Johansson's face photoshopped on, that's the closest you'll get to seeing her get fucked by a horse because I don't think she records it, lol.
***** I haven't seen it, but one of the reasons I didn't bother is because it seemed like a boring concept that has been done before, and much better. They mentioned mass effect, but that ending was very similar to the ending if the original deus ex. And the less said about Ghost in the Shell, the better (that was a movie, manga, and anime that handled the concept pretty good imo; hell, excellent, really, to the point where it influenced deus ex very much, and legions of sci-fi fans [Matrix, anyone?]). Even Avatar (ugh) with its internet/Facebook tree thing kinda did this idea as well, though not to the same extent. There's probably a million more examples that I either don't remember or even know about. In short, Sci-fi has already covered all that. It would need to be absolutely amazing to get me to go see it, with next to no flaws. I might check out this film eventually (everything deserves a chance), but from where I see it right now, it looks like a movie that's entirely trying to coast by on it's concept, with no character development, tension, or cleverness. I hope I'm wrong, but from everything they said here in this review, I'm starting to lose the little faith I had to begin with. Obviously, take this with plenty of salt, but hopefully understand why some people couldn't care less about this movie.
Transcendence is an exercise in how to sink a great movie with a completely shit script. The film looks fantastic, and the great cast tries to do as much was they can, but the material given is completely awful. The pacing, plot progression, dialogue and actions of the characters are horrifically botched.
***** I'm not really defending the film, but in a river of narrative shit, I can appreciate the cinematography. You can argue that it's just adequate, but I'll take what I can get.
You're the most intelligent, incisive, insightful, observant, and witty reviewers on the net :) Thanks a million for all the hard work and your brilliant videos :)
You know people make jokes about Jay glazing over when Mike or Rich bring up Star Trek, but that's nothing compared to the way Mike and Jay tune out when Rich brings up a video game plot.
The alternate history this episode presents, where Jay and Mike never actually killed Rich the comic book man, implies that things may possibly not be what they seem in regards to the narrative of Half In The Bag, since it's been established now that Jay and Mike sometimes view events differently than how they actually occured. This leads to my theory: that Half in the Bag is all just a sweaty fever dream these two hacks are having out back in a Milwaukee dumpster. It's just like Joker!
What I found odd in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is how nosy aunt May was. She constantly snooped around in Peter's room. There is one scene where she tries to go into his room and it's locked, he tells her "just a second" as he scrambles to hide his Spiderman suite. Now, when a teenager doesn't open a door immediately, you know they are most likely watching porn and jacking off and you leave them alone. Aunt May on the other hand, when she hears him telling not to go in, she literally tries to break into his room, and when she does break in, he is tucked in under the blanket, and she's like "what's happening here?".
Which, comic books apart, makes sense since she's a more mature and confident woman because she's already lived everything she had to live and lost her husband in a tragic way. Mary Jane (which would be Gwen Stacy) is young and immature. I'm not big fan of her character from the originals, but it was okay to keep the story on track. Simple, but effective films. Not masterpieces by any means.
At work my friend and I were discussing that whole thing too. Like, "I don't wanna watch this shit movie, but I am actually curious...RLM- give us a video" They save me a lot of time lol
@@redplague 2 ²/³/3 good. The Dark Knight Rises falls apart pretty much the minute Bruce Wayne goes broke. So basically before Batman even shows up in a Batman movie, the whole shitball disintegrates
When I saw trailers for Transcendence, I legitimately didn't know it was Johnny Depp until his name appeared because Im so used to seeing him smothered in make up and over-the-top costumes from modern Tim Burton movies.
Even Confused Matthew who liked this movie said the following. "To begin with the opening is absolute shit" It's harsh when your defender admits the first part is garbage O_o
***** Well I think he 'liked' the movie the same way I 'liked' Fantastic Four. He and I could see the potential, although we ultimately admitted it went to waste :/
***** I'm inclined to agree, although playing devil's advocate I WAS intrigued by his suggestion that someone at least cared a little about the theme of Gwen's mortality. It was just a shame it was pretty ham handed and everyone already knew the big reveal before the movie was even released.
***** Yeah, I'm right there with you :/ I hope if they do (I guess when they inevitably) reboot the character AGAIN we can dispense with all this stupid origin nonsense and just have Peter Parker have a nicely crafted adventure for once instead of constantly rehashing the same storylines and characters.
+bloodrunsclear Confused Matthew knows nothing about reviewing movies. His Lion King review may be one of the worst I've ever seen. Not surprised that he liked it.
I'm so glad they called out the web hand thing. That movie was such trash that not even Gwen's impending death with the web hang had any ability to tug at my heart. I laughed in theaters. No lie.
Transcendence was such a cool idea but was done completely wrong. It almost angers me. If it had proper pacing and a good director, it coulda been seriously good.
darkmusician0123 I live in Quebec, and none of the theatres in the Greater Montreal Area (greater city area half our people live in) where still screening it when I posted that. I'd already seen it though, and I understand why they stopped showing it. It was wasting screen time other movies could have been using.
Johnny Depp is constantly pretentious and can never not be pretentious. Spider-Man is constantly terrible and can never not be terrible. I am constantly suicidal and can never not be suicidal after realising that somebody actually wrote these movies.
I had zero faith in ever seeing a good Marvel film, or good Spidey in a film. Civil War kind of proved me wrong. And while I'm sure Homecoming will end with me calling it Homewrecker or whatever....It was a nice moment to see a good movie with Marvel/Spider Man
It’s so inspiring to see how much RLM has learned over the years. Take 5:45 for example, when someone laughs loudly you need to mute the other mics or else it makes that weird echo effect. Hey, learning the basics takes time, at least they don’t make mistakes like that anymore.
RLM, I thought I couldn't love you guys any more after the prequel reviews, but then you had to go ahead and slam Mass Effect 3's ending like it so rightfully deserves. With ME Andromeda coming up and everyone mindlessly jumping on the hype train once more, I feel validated.
Tim Arthur we are jumping on the hype train (or at least I am) because I've been playing bioware games since KOTOR and they are my favourite game making company and EA tried to kill them nd ME Andromeda is like opening shoedingers cats box to see if bioware is still alive or not. ME3 was a good game with a shit ending so I'm owing that ME Andromeda is a good game with a good nd ing that isn't rushed like the last 1.
I'm surprised they didn't mention that Spiderman *EASILY* can solve everything just about by talking it out. Like, the green goblin for instance, Harry is mad because Spiderman won't give him his blood right? Then Peter finds that fucking train (because who gives a shit, it's a train, deal with it), and the little video that his dad left for him LITERALLY says: *"The spider shit will only work with my fucking blood (and by extension Peter's blood) and nobody else's."* So that means all Peter has to do is be like "Oh Harry, watch this video, see? Even if I give you my blood it won't do anything because it's only compatible with my DNA and my kids DNA, sorry mate. Like, he had all this information, he easily could just explain the situation to Harry and save gwen and Harry won't become evil etc etc etc, but instead he makes a conscious decision to be like "Eh, fuck it, that takes too long to explain." ................................................................................................... SO HARRY'S ENTIRE MOTIVATION FOR BECOMING EVIL COULD BE SOLVED WITH TWO LINES OF DIALOGUE, THAT PETER CHOOSES NOT TO SAY. That's all.
oh yeah all you have to do is talk some sense into the completely insane green goblin, why didn't he think of that?! peter had absolutely no time after the train sequence to tell harry what he knew, considering gwen's immediate departure, and the electro fight ensuing right afterward.
Synyster Gates II I mean, he could just say it straight away at the electric grid. Or after the fight happened and he killed Gwen. Or at any point. Also to Erik, I feel like having Harry not become a mass murderer in exchange for his best friend (who'll die pretty soon anyway) knowing his secret identity is pretty fair.
I feel so strange about this, but I actually liked Transcendence. I get the slowness and how dull it is, but that feels like real life to me. I think this is a real possibility for what the future brings, and it will be boring and change the world. We will realize it too late and overreact.
Johnny Depp isn't a bad actor. He's just had a bad few years (reminiscent of late 90's) but I'm sure there's other issues at play in his life like with his family that are affecting him. I predict that his new movie Black Mass with Benedict Cumberbatch will bring him back into form
I liked The Amazing Spider-Man 2... when it was about Spider-Man. Which, yet again, was for about 20 minutes of the whole movie, tops. Why am I not surprised?
Haven't seen Transcendence ( lucky me ), but I can picture it vividly just from the short plot synopsis, and the way it's delivered - good job! :D But - I use sometime movies in order to get to sleep, and this sounds like very good candidate for the task.
'The Amazing Spiderman 2' was so boring that I got to 32:30 in this review before I realised I had actually seen this film... I completely forgot about it until the reminded me of the clocktower scene (the only part I remember, for some reason)
Rich - 100% of your brain is epilepsy! Ha ha. Oh, and 27:07. I love this stuff that they throw in. I come for the review, I stay for the little things like this.

You're the most intelligent, incisive, insightful, observant, and witty reviewers on the net :) Thanks a million for all the hard work and your brilliant videos :)
I hope Sony loses the rights to Spiderman soon.
***** hehehehee
***** Not when...
Budget $255 million
Box office $709 million
To bad people keep going.
Already happened. Marvel has Spiderman now.
@@chopperjoe1998 This hasn't aged well lol
@@simcity356 What do you....oh
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................damn it
You know people make jokes about Jay glazing over when Mike or Rich bring up Star Trek, but that's nothing compared to the way Mike and Jay tune out when Rich brings up a video game plot.
The alternate history this episode presents, where Jay and Mike never actually killed Rich the comic book man, implies that things may possibly not be what they seem in regards to the narrative of Half In The Bag, since it's been established now that Jay and Mike sometimes view events differently than how they actually occured. This leads to my theory: that Half in the Bag is all just a sweaty fever dream these two hacks are having out back in a Milwaukee dumpster. It's just like Joker!
Me: **laughs about Horse Ninja at job**
Boss: What's so funny
Sound valid
Why is it that every time I watch a bad movie review, Alex fucking Kurtzman is somehow involved. Lmao
4:14 holy shit Jay recovered from that laugh so fast.
What I found odd in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is how nosy aunt May was. She constantly snooped around in Peter's room. There is one scene where she tries to go into his room and it's locked, he tells her "just a second" as he scrambles to hide his Spiderman suite. Now, when a teenager doesn't open a door immediately, you know they are most likely watching porn and jacking off and you leave them alone. Aunt May on the other hand, when she hears him telling not to go in, she literally tries to break into his room, and when she does break in, he is tucked in under the blanket, and she's like "what's happening here?".
Irony
Aunt May was a strong women in the original. While Mary Jane is a Damsel in distress.
Gwen is a strong women in the new films. Aunt May is lazy.
Which, comic books apart, makes sense since she's a more mature and confident woman because she's already lived everything she had to live and lost her husband in a tragic way. Mary Jane (which would be Gwen Stacy) is young and immature. I'm not big fan of her character from the originals, but it was okay to keep the story on track.
Simple, but effective films. Not masterpieces by any means.
That rant at the end is my favorite thing from RLM period.
32:01 When you haven't watched the Amazing Spiderman 2 but you don't give a fuck about spoilers, that's how much I care about this movie.
Razamataz Productions
smart answer
At work my friend and I were discussing that whole thing too.
Like, "I don't wanna watch this shit movie, but I am actually curious...RLM- give us a video"
They save me a lot of time lol
I can't wait for the amazing spiderman part 3:revenge of the spider. It's gonna be fucking great!
Yeah fuck reboots. The Dark Knight trilogy is like some cosmic coincidence in that it's good.
@@redplague 2 ²/³/3 good. The Dark Knight Rises falls apart pretty much the minute Bruce Wayne goes broke. So basically before Batman even shows up in a Batman movie, the whole shitball disintegrates
When I saw trailers for Transcendence, I legitimately didn't know it was Johnny Depp until his name appeared because Im so used to seeing him smothered in make up and over-the-top costumes from modern Tim Burton movies.
Harry Osborn looks like he just got done performing at a My Chemical Romance concert
Even Confused Matthew who liked this movie said the following.
"To begin with the opening is absolute shit"
It's harsh when your defender admits the first part is garbage O_o
***** Well I think he 'liked' the movie the same way I 'liked' Fantastic Four. He and I could see the potential, although we ultimately admitted it went to waste :/
***** I'm inclined to agree, although playing devil's advocate I WAS intrigued by his suggestion that someone at least cared a little about the theme of Gwen's mortality. It was just a shame it was pretty ham handed and everyone already knew the big reveal before the movie was even released.
***** Yeah, I'm right there with you :/
I hope if they do (I guess when they inevitably) reboot the character AGAIN we can dispense with all this stupid origin nonsense and just have Peter Parker have a nicely crafted adventure for once instead of constantly rehashing the same storylines and characters.
+bloodrunsclear Confused Matthew knows nothing about reviewing movies. His Lion King review may be one of the worst I've ever seen. Not surprised that he liked it.
+Maus Films How so? I didn't agree with his Lion King review but his Star Wars prequel reviews and Spider-Man 3 review were great.
Mike: "Even if we could use 100% of our brain..I don't know..."
Rich Evans: "It's called EPILEPSY!"
ROFLMFAO
... Rolling on the floor laughing or having a seizure?
COMING SOON:
HORSE NINJA 2: HOOVES OF FURY.
... a Stony joint.
directed by yk kim
I like how almost all comments are about Spider Man and no one cares about Transcendence.
When rich starts rambling maniacally at the end I was on the ground laughing!
+Doug Vandegrift Soon they will know my WRAAAAAAAAAATH
16:57 I have to applaud the effort Mike always puts in trying to find some specific demographic to recommend a movie for
I'm so glad they called out the web hand thing. That movie was such trash that not even Gwen's impending death with the web hang had any ability to tug at my heart. I laughed in theaters. No lie.
I like the LOTR forced perspective in this which makes Rick look 1.75x bigger than Mike & Jay
Well Jay is canonically a Hobbit so it makes sense.
Shows how often I type the word RICH if my phone autocorrected that...
@@prakharpaliwal8536 buy what does that make Mike ?
What does that MAKE MIKE ??
🤣
@@callmeepee2691 A dwarf? Forger of cheap sets and cheaper jokes. Last of his line. King of the VCR mountain.
i love how mike defends artistic license cuz i was feeling the same thing.
Transcendence was such a cool idea but was done completely wrong. It almost angers me. If it had proper pacing and a good director, it coulda been seriously good.
I actually looked it up, I can't find a single theatre in my province which is screening it.
dave19941000 Seriuosly? Where do you live? If push comes to shove you can always try to find it online, or wait for the DVD if you aren't that eager.
darkmusician0123 I live in Quebec, and none of the theatres in the Greater Montreal Area (greater city area half our people live in) where still screening it when I posted that. I'd already seen it though, and I understand why they stopped showing it. It was wasting screen time other movies could have been using.
Johnny Depp is constantly pretentious and can never not be pretentious.
Spider-Man is constantly terrible and can never not be terrible.
I am constantly suicidal and can never not be suicidal after realising that somebody actually wrote these movies.
Civil War
it rhymes
i have high hopes for Homecoming
let me rephrase: I'm high, and hope spiderman homecoming is good.
I had zero faith in ever seeing a good Marvel film, or good Spidey in a film.
Civil War kind of proved me wrong. And while I'm sure Homecoming will end with me calling it Homewrecker or whatever....It was a nice moment to see a good movie with Marvel/Spider Man
I'm a fan of his as well. Just kind of over the pirates act. That's cool if you enjoy it I'm sure lots of people do.
It’s so inspiring to see how much RLM has learned over the years. Take 5:45 for example, when someone laughs loudly you need to mute the other mics or else it makes that weird echo effect. Hey, learning the basics takes time, at least they don’t make mistakes like that anymore.
Someone out there loves this movie ......and that’s the part that makes me fear for humanity
RLM, I thought I couldn't love you guys any more after the prequel reviews, but then you had to go ahead and slam Mass Effect 3's ending like it so rightfully deserves. With ME Andromeda coming up and everyone mindlessly jumping on the hype train once more, I feel validated.
Tim Arthur we are jumping on the hype train (or at least I am) because I've been playing bioware games since KOTOR and they are my favourite game making company and EA tried to kill them nd ME Andromeda is like opening shoedingers cats box to see if bioware is still alive or not. ME3 was a good game with a shit ending so I'm owing that ME Andromeda is a good game with a good nd ing that isn't rushed like the last 1.
This aged well
Oh my gawd they actually made Horse Ninja
I'm surprised they didn't mention that Spiderman *EASILY* can solve everything just about by talking it out. Like, the green goblin for instance, Harry is mad because Spiderman won't give him his blood right? Then Peter finds that fucking train (because who gives a shit, it's a train, deal with it), and the little video that his dad left for him LITERALLY says: *"The spider shit will only work with my fucking blood (and by extension Peter's blood) and nobody else's."* So that means all Peter has to do is be like "Oh Harry, watch this video, see? Even if I give you my blood it won't do anything because it's only compatible with my DNA and my kids DNA, sorry mate.
Like, he had all this information, he easily could just explain the situation to Harry and save gwen and Harry won't become evil etc etc etc, but instead he makes a conscious decision to be like "Eh, fuck it, that takes too long to explain."
...................................................................................................
SO HARRY'S ENTIRE MOTIVATION FOR BECOMING EVIL COULD BE SOLVED WITH TWO LINES OF DIALOGUE, THAT PETER CHOOSES NOT TO SAY.
That's all.
oh yeah all you have to do is talk some sense into the completely insane green goblin, why didn't he think of that?! peter had absolutely no time after the train sequence to tell harry what he knew, considering gwen's immediate departure, and the electro fight ensuing right afterward.
Synyster Gates II I mean, he could just say it straight away at the electric grid. Or after the fight happened and he killed Gwen. Or at any point.
Also to Erik, I feel like having Harry not become a mass murderer in exchange for his best friend (who'll die pretty soon anyway) knowing his secret identity is pretty fair.
@@derekjolstead9975 Because I guess seeing his ex is just more important than trying to help his dying best friend?
That has to be the greatest monomaniacal rant in cinematic history.
Mike reacts to Mass Effect references the way Jay responds to Star Trek references from Mike.
Rich's rant is frightly more accurate with the Ghost in the shell movie, especially the stuff about Scarlett Johansson
Minus the horse part.
SimplyMasonZero Oh my god
I feel so strange about this, but I actually liked Transcendence. I get the slowness and how dull it is, but that feels like real life to me. I think this is a real possibility for what the future brings, and it will be boring and change the world. We will realize it too late and overreact.
This is like Barney Gumble, Waylon Smithers and Comic Book Guy all hanging out together.
Now every idiot is saying they love those Spider-Man movies now
Eventually the world is gonna run out of VCR's for them to destroy
The web hand thing made me laugh so much, I spilled tea all over my shirt...
What the hell is up with the sound
It sounds like phasing problem with microphone bleed-over with multiple mics. We're hearing the summed time delay.
I watched the whole episode expecting the sound to get more tinny when rich laughed until he transcended into a vcr
The Amazing Spiderman 2 is just terrible. I mean, it's ...it's terrible. Just terrible.
It makes Man of Steel look amazing.
At least it had characters... unlike Batman V. Superman...
+Zaph Ior Yeah Batman v Superman and ASM2 can definitely battle for one of the worst super heroe movies ever
Joseph Martinez Fant4stic wins
Luckily I haven't watched that one
Johnny Depp isn't a bad actor. He's just had a bad few years (reminiscent of late 90's) but I'm sure there's other issues at play in his life like with his family that are affecting him. I predict that his new movie Black Mass with Benedict Cumberbatch will bring him back into form
I liked The Amazing Spider-Man 2... when it was about Spider-Man. Which, yet again, was for about 20 minutes of the whole movie, tops. Why am I not surprised?
1.29 Does anyone think that if they ever make another Flintstones movie, Mike and Jay would be perfect as Fred and Barney?
THAT'S WHAT THEY REMIND ME OF!!!
Thank you
Plot hole: go to nyc to see films, end up back in Milwaukee to review them. HACKFRAUDS!
Haven't seen Transcendence ( lucky me ), but I can picture it vividly just from the short plot synopsis, and the way it's delivered - good job! :D
But - I use sometime movies in order to get to sleep, and this sounds like very good candidate for the task.
I loved "Her name is going to be 'Love Interest'"
'The Amazing Spiderman 2' was so boring that I got to 32:30 in this review before I realised I had actually seen this film... I completely forgot about it until the reminded me of the clocktower scene (the only part I remember, for some reason)
now that I've started watching the video again I realise I probably remembered this scene because of the stupid web hand lmao
"Her name's gonna be Love Interest and she's gonna fuck a horse.
- Rich Evans
legendary scene with Rich Evans at the end
Rich's laugh can bring puppies back to life.
But what killed the puppies?
@@Anon-lu6ct Not hearing Rich's laugh on a regular basis. Or, watching either of these movies.
Mike
The plot for ASM2 sounds so messed up that I think I need to watch it to understand what they're talking about.
Lol, what plot?
I'm nodding off listening to the clips of Johnny Depp talking.
Rich Evans is a god damn national treasure.
The Amazing Spiderman 2 feels like one big montage
I love the triple Charlie Brown walk at the start.
what's the music from 4:20?
Rich - 100% of your brain is epilepsy! Ha ha. Oh, and 27:07. I love this stuff that they throw in. I come for the review, I stay for the little things like this.
4:20 song name please... I need it...
Great performance by Rich Evans, Horse movie sounds great.
Rhino is supposed to be an idiot, so I think Paul did a good job.
It do be like that tho
Rich I love you even more for referencing Mass Effect 3 💜
I’m gonna go on a limb here and say mike and jay aren’t vcr repair men.
Transcendence was amazing, and compelling. They didn't want the VIEWER to know who the villain was or IF There was one at all.
Are you guys going to do Godzilla HITB?
