  • Mike and Jay go down one of the most unexpected rabbit holes of all time! It’s the Kyle Gallner Triple Feature Spectacular! Brought to you by Vudu™ and Loot Crate™ and Quaker Oats™! Mike loves Vudu. It’s an interface his rotting, elderly, dementia-ridden brain can comprehend. It’s where he watches his movies and loves to click on the little pictures and see what other movies people have been in. This time, Mike saw that Jay’s old friend Kyle Gallner has been in 3 movies in the past 6 months or so. Mike watched the three most recent films and got a little something out of each one. He wanted to share them with Jay. And then with you, the internet audience. Are these movies destined to be classics decades from now? Probably not. They are lower budgeted quality independent films that make a heartful attempt at something new. Plus they do not have the words Clown, Shark, or Exorcist in the title. Did billions of people go to see them like the Barbie movie? Or Oppenhomie? Nope. But you can watch them on streaming for a low, low price and get a little bit of enjoyment in your sad lives for a tight 90! Or put them on a “to watch” movie list when the inevitable fallout drought of entertainment arrives as a result of the strike. Mike and Jay give these three films a fair shake, enjoying them all for the most part. Plus as an added bonus, both Mike and Jay tell stories from their brief but terrible experience on movie sets. Mike also pitches one of his worst movie ideas yet! Everyone can have a laugh at the expense of others! So open a cold frosty beverage of your choice. Sit back and relax. And prepare to watch two brain dead bumpkins from the mid-west struggle to form sentences out of their mouths filled with cheese curds, beer, and wallpaper paste. It’s the Kyle Gallner Triple Feature Spectacular!!!!!!!

      I was initially concerned about that too. While they’ll call out bad acting if they see it, they’re too considerate to ever just outright mock someone as an individual for an entire episode. So I suspected that if they were highlighting the same actor across three movies, they wouldn’t just be mocking that actor.
      The Bruce Willis thing was an unusual circumstance, but even in that episode they didn’t really insult him or disparage him, they just didn’t understand why the movies were doing what they were doing.

    Kyle Gallner was actually one of the best things about Smile, and I liked Smile overall. I recognized his face in a "where do I know him from" way, and now I know why. Dude is a hardworking actor and has been around in a lot of stuff I watched in the past, where he was just a side character. This is a pretty awesome thing you guys did here. There are quite a few unsung low key indie actors who deserve to be spotlighted. This is a great start. Should consider a separate "Half in the Bag Spotlight" for this kind of approach (outside of black void eps, and Mike and Jay Talk). Similar to BotW Spotlight episodes, but for legit good actors and filmmakers who deserve more recognition. I'm actually fully interested in watching all of the movies he's played significant roles in now.
    On a side note, I'm happy to know that Johnny Berchtold was in a decent film (instead of just mediocre crap like Snow Falls), alongside Kyle Gallner. I saw him on a Dead Meat Podcast episode, over a year ago, and he seems like a good dude.

    Honestly Gallner was the one standout of the rebooted nightmare movie to me beyond the star obviously. I did laugh at his emo face mixed with the joy division shirt but I thought he was good and always remembered him. Glad he's getting some attention.

    Mike laying down a pre-emptive case defense for any incidents in Colorado, was a master at work.
