The ending of the predator is ABSOLUTELY a 13 year old kids wet dream UH THE PREDATOR GIVES THE PPL COOL SUITS TO FIGHT THE BIGGER PREDATORS AND THEY LOOK AWESOME LIKE IRON MAN SUITS WITH A BUNCH OF GUNS
Dear god, please tell me that's a fucking joke. I refuse to give that film my money so I haven't seen it, but I thought I'd heard the limits of it's awfulness.
borderline It's true. The Predator(character) was very good looking when it was an actual costume but giant CG Predator was very distracting. Also giant Predator dogs, complete with dreads, are very silly.
Oh no, he's being serious. I watched it last weekend, and just when I think it can't get any more awful I see the ending: there's an autistic child who's now been put in charge of a secret military base where they're using an Iron Man suit. I shit you not.
I have my doctorate degree in biology and i can confirm that we are trained in special weapons and tactics and well as being experts in hand to hand combat.
Jay says that, after Mandy dies, THAT'S when the crazy starts. I can't help but feel like he forgot the part where some of the cult members go into the woods and summon motorcycle demons by playing an evil ocarina.
"You have Star Trek, and I have David Lynch" is such a great moment between these two. Also, I have to say, not only was Dredd one of the best movies I've seen in a long time, but it's also theoretically one of the best sequel-spawning stories. "Dredd responds to a crime and things escalate" is a premise that could weather several dozen seasons on Netflix and never get old.
Pretty sure Dredd got no studio support on advertising. I think it did better in the UK where they actually did spend a bit. But Dredd was damned good.
@@ashesanddiamonds2692 that's a fact ofc but at a glance 2000AD comics is still pretty big in the US but still remeber reading an article about how poorly they funded Dredd's advertising in the US. Karl Urban talked about it in interviews google and you'll see, just a damned shame as it was such a fine film and a breath of fresh air.
No, it's quite right, in this movie he does act. He doesn't try. He actually does. And that's because Mandy is exactly what you do with an actor like Cage.
"I think the people that watch us are into movies and want to see creative, different things..." *Throws head back maniacally and begins to repost the same Plinkett quotes from nearly a decade ago*
If Frank Frazetta was an unimaginative hack. Last time I checked he knew how to combine more than two colors and his action paintings had a lot of clarity and energy.
Mandy hit something in my brain I can’t describe, but haven’t felt since sneaking up late at night to watch HBO when I was 9 years old. Unforgettable imagery. Can’t wait for Panos’s next movie.
"If you Google him, if you look at a picture of him, he just looks like any average Star Wars fan." They should have put up a picture of Rich Evans when Jay said that.
Im autistic and one of my cousins has tourettes, and Hollywood/TV studios have no idea how to write either properly. And when either show up in TV or movies we just laugh.
The opening song, "Starless" by King Crimson, is perfect for this movie. It's a really long song, and the first half is super somber and beautiful, and then halfway through it takes a hard turn and becomes very weird, dark, and dissonant until the end.
One thing I think should be mentioned about "Mandy" is the music from the late composer Johann Johannsson. The score definitely adds to the hypnotic feel and tone of the film -- it makes you feel like you're on an acid trip.
About Dredd and dumb audiences, Karl Urban claims it's a marketing failure, not a failure of the movie itself citing that the DVD sales were 750 000 in the first week. And I didn't hear about it from anywhere but people who I know. I also loved it.
Mr Fuzzy Green that's exactly the type of mentality Jay and Mike are talking about, slight a story is not a bad thing, the notion it is gives credence to making trainwrecks like The Predator.
All I could think when I left the theater after this one was "Somebody's kid had autism and they wanted to make that kid feel better about themselves REALLY REALLY bad."
Jack Rogers I see it as more of unrefined ideas on autism being pumped into a Hollywood film. It’s not terrible, and autism may be the evolutionary future of biological humans. But every idea was handled with as little care as possible. Like a hipster writer had big ideas but couldn’t conceptualize them into a film.
Those were both fairly small budgeted movies where he was probably given full creative freedom. This a big franchise film where clearly the studio meddled with it given that they completely changed the ending mid way through production. Who knows what it would have been if they would have just let the guy make the movie he wanted to make.
Hey I witnessed my 1st Dumpster Fire about 3 weeks ago and my too zahh_$(+ God it was awesome with the projectile flaming grease and the florescent light bulbs blowing up. It was better than this on so many different levels!
Its easy you take a pay check putting in the bare minimum on a franchise film you don’t really care about so you can focus all your effort on your own original creations and
Okay hear me out here. I love Shane Black. I like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and his neo noir comedy style. But that style does not mesh well with the Predator Mythos. The original was so great because on the surface it seems like a generic 80's action sci fi film, but the way John Mctiernan crafted the film was amazing. It is a slow burn like a fine cigar. The film starts as 80s over the top action. Then it slowly is stripped away into a foray of a primal cat and mouse game. It is the most dangerous game, but an alien is the hunter. The incredible score, the tension, and suspense. This new film just doesn't have that. I could not of thought of a better director to make their comeback for this film than John Mctiernan. He directed the greatest action movie of all time(Die Hard). And why is it great? Because the guy understands suspense, setting up the environment, setup/payoff, and nuance. Hell, I would have been fine if Black just wrote the script and did punch ups like he did for the first film. Mctiernan is a master of his craft and deserves to pull a George Miller ala Fury Road return. What is your guys thoughts on this?
I relate to what Jay says re: cheddar goblin and the world doesn’t care about your problems because back in like 2nd grade I found out my grandmother died while the tv was playing a Wishbone salad dressing commercial. I barely remember my grandmother’s voice but that stupid commercial jingle has been etched into my mind for the past 25 years. Genius move on the director’s part and sure enough that exact same Wishbone commercial is up on TH-cam these days: th-cam.com/video/aA13DxM2BO0/w-d-xo.html Anyway, make sure you turn off the tv when you give someone bad news.
They modified Arri Alexa’s to work with vintage Panavision lenses to get that film look. Most of it was captured in camera with a small percentage being post-process. Panos wanted to shoot Mandy on film but budget constraints forced him not to.
Strange comment, but I have an anxiety disorder, and when I'm feeling keyed-up or nervous, I throw on an episode of Half in the Bag. There's just something soothing about listening to a couple of hacks talk passionately about cinema and crack jokes about Nicolas Cage. Love your guys' work! I don't often go to the cinema, but now I'd really like to see Mandy. Thanks for being radical
Thomas Dixon I suppose 'anxiety-relieving' is subjective, but I can give you a few names! SomeOrdinaryGamers is also a channel I watch when I get keyed-up; Mutahar is a computer engineer overflowing with charisma who's probably best known for his browsing of the deep web! I love his Virus Investigations videos, too. He also has Let's Plays, Creepypasta readings, and lots of other game-geared content. He has this very calming air about him; Deep Web Browsing is also something I throw on when I'm anxious 😊 Let's see, who else? Oh! Search "Monster Factory" and look for the video playlist by Polygon; in but a few minutes your anxiety will melt away to be swiftly replaced by gut-splitting laughter. It's also a video game-oriented series; more specifically, a celebration of character creator systems in video games! They make the CRAZIEST stuff that's just an absolute riot, and you won't find a sense of humor like Justin and Griffin's anywhere else. I *strongly* recommend you start with "Exploding Shepard's Face Bones in Mass Effect 2"; that and "What if Dark Souls Were Made of Pizza?" both of which are pretty much exactly what they sound like, haha. Down the Rabbit Hole is also a soothing channel! Fredrik is something of an internet historian, extensively cataloguing such phenomena as Chris Chan, vaporwave, The SCP Foundation, and many, many more. He also has a soothing voice, and he's very well-spoken, to boot! His content is fascinating. I hope you find these recommendations to your liking! I'm sorry that we can empathize regarding our anxiety issues, but it's always nice to find camaraderie with others who share the same struggles as you. I wish you a soothing, anxiety-free night - or morning... afternoon... wherever you are! I've found anxiety is much so easier to fight with laughter and curiosity. Again, I hope you enjoy, and please take care! 💜😊
Aw, well thank you, Jacob! You're pretty awesome, yourself - you could have just looked at my comment and thought "wow, that's nice", and left it at that, but you took the time out of your day to leave your own comment with such kind words! I'm always happy to give recommendations, especially regarding TH-camrs - anything I can do to spread the word of their awesome content and hopefully get some more exposure and viewers who enjoy their work is something I'll do happily! And doubly so for someone else who might be struggling with the same issues I have 😊 And this is just a teensy part of it, but since TH-cam is kind of notorious for having nasty comment sections, whenever I comment on something or reply to someone, I do my best to put forth some positivity and kindness to hopefully combat that reputation. I get kind of sad when I scroll through comments that are mostly negative, hurtful, or outraged, so I just like to fight fire with glitter and sparkles, hehe. ✨ Thank you again, Jacob! Your comment made my night 💜 Wherever you are, whatever time it is, I hope you have a lovely day!
There's so much terrible in this movie they didn't mention nearly enough. The predator using the thumbs up severed arm. Nobody has mentioned this. Why the hell does a wormhole opening spaceship have intakes? This needs a Plinkett review.
JohnnyZenith And the kid in the movie is so pointless...he’s the central part of the movie but he could be completely removed from the story and the movie would work better...it would simply be that there’s a dissenting Predator that wants to help us against the rest of his species
I can already see the bumper along the bottom of the screen where they're standing back to back with their arms crossed playfully laughing. Catch the premiere this Sunday 8pm right after Full House!
gobzdzilla yeah and remember a lot of the additional writing for predator? That was an uncredited Shane Black as well who brought all the good humor in too. "You're hit, you're bleeding man!" "I ain't got time to bleed!" "Oh, ok!" So yeah, gotta take the good with the bad.
I'm glad Mandy got some love on this channel. Yes it's definitely not for everyone, but people should really see this on the big screen at least once if they get the chance. I can't wait to see it again in theaters at least a couple more times.
Saw this as my birthday gift with someone who hates these kinds of films, that's love. This film is really quite good if you're into psychadellic imagery. That score too.
I understand that, if seeing the movie would mean I had to cover some additional expenses, I'd think twice as well. As for the film being put on more screens, sadly that's not up to the filmmaker... not only is it a fairly low-budget film, it's also for mature audiences AND it's not even for the general public, it's quite niche to a certain extent, so putting it on more screens would inevitably, probably result in loss of money as opposed to an improved box office result... which I'm guessing is why the film was released online a week ago.
That one will be titled "Predator", be a sequel only to the first movie ignoring the rest, and it will feature a whole cast of actors from a fairly popular TV show for no other reason then that people know them. Oh and elderly Arnold Schwarzenegger in a wheelchair will be in the movie for 3 minutes.
Before: Being trapped in a claustrophobic space with an unknown monster. A relentless stalker endlessly hunting you down in the night. Lost in the woods being hunted by a alien. Now: Learn their origins and culture! Big faction war! Gratuitous effect shots! Deeeep lore! Let's explain all the mystery! Look at the creature killing people! I really hate what they've done with Alien, Predator and Terminator. Three of my favourite action sci-fi's they've ruined.
@@tadpolegaming4510 That turned out remarkably well considering the production issues that it had. I wish we could have had a sequel set entirely in 2029.
Let's see what Tim Miller does with Terminator. He's the best director the franchise has had since Cameron. If that fails then that's the final nail in the coffin.
The Predator is from an alien master race of genius Olympic athletes that have mastered intergalactic travel but are jealous of our autism. The Predator wants to steal all our Sonic the Hedgehog erotica so he can breed a race of super-soldiers that are all modeled after Christian Weston Chandler. The Predator wants to engineer a race of lonely virgins that get relentlessly cyberbullied and engage in regular shouting matches with children they lose games of Pokemon to. And you're claiming this isn't the greatest story ever told.
Go further. Make the predator study the mythos of Pepe and Kek, make the predator start wearing a fedora and tipping it each time it kills someone. You can go beyond what these hacks originally wrote for this movie.
@@elmangodefuego5526 The Predator writes self-insertion fanfic about trying to find Boyfriend-Free Girls To Make Into A Sweetheart From The Ground-Up where he's just sitting in front of a Panda Express, legs folded, playing Pokemon on his Nintendo DS, until mall security AKA JERKOPS drags him away screaming. "Ohh, just you wait," thinks The Predator. "I'll write an Internet Revenge Comic about you yet."
@@elmangodefuego5526 Ooh, let's toss in an Incel angle. The Predator is only attacking Arnold because he's a Chad that snatches up all the Boyfriend-Free Staceys, thus fueling his Noviophobia, so now the Predator needs Bonus Autism to create a plausible fantasy world where his imaginary Sonic/Pokemon sexual surrogate Rosechu is the hottest fucking thing in the galaxy. That's what he was attempting to communicate via his weird alien clicking language in Predator 87. That, and "it's okay to beg for sex in front of the Sunglasses Hut at the mall".
Can we talk about Nicolas Cage for a sec? Because he’s genuinely still an incredibly talented actor. He just has to take a lot of bad roles to pay off his debts. Watch Joe, Bad Lieutenant and of course Adaptation and Leaving Las Vegas.
Nobody doubts that. He is great. But yeah, he has to take literally almost any job offered willing to pay due to the debts. Often the problem is this means he is not available for the big roles even if they did want him to be like Superman. DC isn't going to sit around waiting for you to finish your shit tier horror movie. Honestly a tragedy. When allowed to do his own thing he makes characters memorable.
My friend had a Nice Cage theme birthday party early this year where we watched Cage movies the whole time. A birthday cake with Cage's face on it, mask party favors for us all to wear, and movie posters all over the living room. We had a decent mix of weird cage and good cage. Snake Eyes, Vampires Kiss, and that one with Michael Being where Cage wears sunglasses and a moustache lol.
Don't watch movies on drugs. Drugs are meant to help time pass when you're bored. Movies are the same in that regard. Go to baseball game or a mormon wedding on shrooms. I did and it was pretty fun.
@@travismcnasty4239 lol if you do psychedelics drugs to pass time they're eventually going to drop kick your soul off of a roof. Don't disrespect psychedelics, they are for serious introspection and being emotionally vulnerable with people. They can be really fun, but they don't exist just to be fun.
I totally had the same reaction regarding Brown's character. Had no idea he had died and pretty much just assumed he was dead because he stopped showing up. It makes me feel better that I wasn't the only one.
Fun fact: the actor who plays Jeremiah Sands (the evil cult leader) in Mandy is named Linus Roache, and he also appeared as Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne's dad, in Nolan's Batman films. I thought his performance was fantastic and Oscar-worthy (in Mandy, that is).
I could be wrong, but I was under the impression he would test his LSD on the tiger. I think he said something like, "You know it's good when she's calm." Which raises the question, what would LSD do to a tiger.
I believe the "You know it's good when she's calm" is in reference to him not grabbing the gun when the blood-soaked mad-man shows up - he thinks he's safe from Cage because the tiger isn't reacting to him.
Predator is a classic film something we can all agree on. Predator 2 and Predators were better than they had any right to be - both were decent sequels. The Predator looked terrible from the trailers and I'm not shocked or surprised by the critical reaction.
Alien vs Predator showed that they can work together with other species as long as they are worthy and honorable. AvP: Requiem showed that if you make a movie too dark for a theater showing, you get a shitty movie.
This recommendation led to my husband and me driving out to a scenic overlook to watch 'Mandy'. We watched it on our tablet in the car as it got dark outside. It was amazing. Thanks RLM
I enjoyed Beyond The Black Rainbow and it sounds like Mandy is very similar. BTBR starts out so psychological and ends as a slasher film. Mike and Jay talk about a switch for Mandy as well between the first and second acts, it sounds like a Director's signature. I can't wait to see what Panos Cosmatos does in the future. Also, I see that Elijah Wood is listed as a Producer, he is really pushing a lot of indie stuff now a days.
I'm glad you mention Dredd near the end. That's the first movie I though of when I finished watching The Predator and thinking "can good modern remakes/reboots of old action movies still be done well?"
Please don't put a red edge border around your thumbnails. It makes it look like this video has already been watched. I need my HALF IN THE GODDAMN BAG
A predator film where they use human tech could work, but only if you focus solely on the predator itself. Like it's following this "criminal" predator, get stranded and losses it's tech and is forced to improvise, the humans are all non English and don't get subtitles, so both you and the predator don't know what the hell there doing, and don't care. Hell it would almost be a silent film, all done through contact and body language
Wait, they were originally going to have a whole squad of good guy predators helping out in a tank? Where did that movie go? I would buy another ticket to go see it, even after seeing the movie we got instead After I was done watching the predator, I was confused, because it was absolute garbage, but I still enjoyed every minute of it, and after awhile I realized that it was because this movie is an honest to goodness B movie, alongside carnosaur or critters. It has everything: the ridiculous messed up plot, the chosen one child, lengthy scenes of our rag tag ensemble making terrible jokes at each other for way too long, buckets of fake blood. The Predator belongs on the next best of the worst episode
just do predator in some other timeline of the past. like how they referenced they have been here for a long time in Predator 2 that would be sick. Predator in 1600 Spain idfk
Yeah, when S.K.Brown died, I was like....wait....did he just die? It was quite possibly the quickest/random death of a higher billed character in a film I have seen in some time.
Love the review. Regarding Olivia munns character: I don't think there's a gray area? I think Hollywood conflates female empowerment with making a girl do "manly" things. At the end of the day, having a well-written character is what people want, regardless of gender. It's just more common to be critical of female roles since they can get so damn boring.

"You have Star Trek, and I have David Lynch" is such a great moment between these two.
Also, I have to say, not only was Dredd one of the best movies I've seen in a long time, but it's also theoretically one of the best sequel-spawning stories. "Dredd responds to a crime and things escalate" is a premise that could weather several dozen seasons on Netflix and never get old.
>never get old.
It would get old quick when you know every episode is just "Crime happens, Dredd goes HAM rinse repeat."
@christopherhudspeth6823 a lot of ok series are mindnumbingly repetitve, and still somehow work. Even sopranos are kinda repetetive after a while.
Pretty sure Dredd got no studio support on advertising. I think it did better in the UK where they actually did spend a bit.
But Dredd was damned good.
@@ashesanddiamonds2692 that's a fact ofc but at a glance 2000AD comics is still pretty big in the US but still remeber reading an article about how poorly they funded Dredd's advertising in the US. Karl Urban talked about it in interviews google and you'll see, just a damned shame as it was such a fine film and a breath of fresh air.
The Weinstein Company presents: The Predator
(slide whistle)
how's that low-hanging fruit taste?
Oy vey this is antisemitism
Be N S O N you’re horrible. Keep it up
Starring Rich Evans
"In the film, Nicolas Cage acts."
The end is near, people. Repent
I'm sold.
They forgot to say *tries* !
No, it's quite right, in this movie he does act. He doesn't try. He actually does. And that's because Mandy is exactly what you do with an actor like Cage.
You know you’re in for a fucking rollercoaster when ol’ Nick brings his A game.
First "Alien vs Predator"
Now "Mandy and Predator"
the sequel we deserve
And then the crossover with Tammy and the T-rex
"You have Star Trek, I have David Lynch" is like Mike and Jay's tastes in a nutshell
"I think the people that watch us are into movies and want to see creative, different things..."
*Throws head back maniacally and begins to repost the same Plinkett quotes from nearly a decade ago*
Plinkett is the key to all of this, if we can get him working. Because he’s a funnier character than we’ve had before.
That's right Jay.
Mandy is like living in a Frank Frazetta mural on a 70's Van.
This 3000%
Now I won't be happy in life until I have a Frank Frazetta van.
Dear God.... Yes!
That's also a great description of Conan the Barbarian.
If Frank Frazetta was an unimaginative hack. Last time I checked he knew how to combine more than two colors and his action paintings had a lot of clarity and energy.
The Predator fought another Predator and I clapped, I clapped!
And it took like second...
@@schwartzy65 the advertising clip that Fox released to "tease" the fight... is the entire fight.

Mandy hit something in my brain I can’t describe, but haven’t felt since sneaking up late at night to watch HBO when I was 9 years old. Unforgettable imagery. Can’t wait for Panos’s next movie.

weedpuff shut the fuck up
Nice.
@Sweetskis relatable.
"So they can use his autism to make super Predators" is the funniest thing I've ever heard
"If you Google him, if you look at a picture of him, he just looks like any average Star Wars fan."
They should have put up a picture of Rich Evans when Jay said that.
I thought they did.
Or the gif of him masturbating with the droid.
Im autistic and one of my cousins has tourettes, and Hollywood/TV studios have no idea how to write either properly. And when either show up in TV or movies we just laugh.
Yeah, that moronic kid in the first Jurassic World was supposed to be autistic, but they wrote it out.
How accurate would you say is the depiction of autism on Atypical( Netflix)?
Bro just watch out for your spine goo. Predators be everywhere
Most don't know how to write period. Movies in each genre now have checklists and the hired writers are the ones that can check the most boxes.
Jason L not very
The opening song, "Starless" by King Crimson, is perfect for this movie. It's a really long song, and the first half is super somber and beautiful, and then halfway through it takes a hard turn and becomes very weird, dark, and dissonant until the end.
One thing I think should be mentioned about "Mandy" is the music from the late composer Johann Johannsson. The score definitely adds to the hypnotic feel and tone of the film -- it makes you feel like you're on an acid trip.
RIP
The score definitely lifts it up. If that part wasn't working, I imagine all the fake analog trickery in the visuals would just get unbearable.
It goes from being synthwave to doom metal. That's a hallmark of an amazing score.
Damn, I didn't know he'd died. 😞
I really liked this movie.
About Dredd and dumb audiences, Karl Urban claims it's a marketing failure, not a failure of the movie itself citing that the DVD sales were 750 000 in the first week. And I didn't hear about it from anywhere but people who I know. I also loved it.
It was really good.
Seriously underrated, that one
MrSnowman Because nobody had a chance to see it at the cinema. Everywhere but the US it was out of cinemas almost immediately.
Mr Fuzzy Green that's exactly the type of mentality Jay and Mike are talking about, slight a story is not a bad thing, the notion it is gives credence to making trainwrecks like The Predator.
It wasn't bad, far from it, but Raid did it better.
I think the only movies with simple plots executed well I've seen in the last decade are John Wick, Fury Road and Dredd.
The Raid also fits into that category for me. It's Dredd but with martial arts ;p
I'd add Upgrade, Bone Tomahawk, Don't Breathe and The Green Room.
yeah and then all we fucking hear about Fury Road is ThEy JuSt DrIvE tHeRes nO StOry.
logan was pretty good
Mattchester The Green Room was awesome
Actually, as a biologist I can confirm that we're all trained in military tactics in case the mice revolt.
All I could think when I left the theater after this one was "Somebody's kid had autism and they wanted to make that kid feel better about themselves REALLY REALLY bad."
Sigh....yeah...yeah.
Jack Rogers I see it as more of unrefined ideas on autism being pumped into a Hollywood film. It’s not terrible, and autism may be the evolutionary future of biological humans. But every idea was handled with as little care as possible. Like a hipster writer had big ideas but couldn’t conceptualize them into a film.
I keep being labelled so myself, and have to wonder each time what possible stereotype is in someone's head, or being popularised.
@@misanthropicservitorofmars2116 nope, the future is female
@@misanthropicservitorofmars2116 Its not. Please don't spread that nonsense. Autism is not and will never be the "next step in human evolution."
How do you go from making Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and the Nice Guys to this dumpster fire?
Those were both fairly small budgeted movies where he was probably given full creative freedom. This a big franchise film where clearly the studio meddled with it given that they completely changed the ending mid way through production. Who knows what it would have been if they would have just let the guy make the movie he wanted to make.
He drove angry
he also made Iron Man 3, which, if you're not a stupid Manderin fanboy, was awesome.
Hey I witnessed my 1st Dumpster Fire about 3 weeks ago and my too zahh_$(+ God it was awesome with the projectile flaming grease and the florescent light bulbs blowing up. It was better than this on so many different levels!
Its easy you take a pay check putting in the bare minimum on a franchise film you don’t really care about so you can focus all your effort on your own original creations and
Okay hear me out here. I love Shane Black. I like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and his neo noir comedy style. But that style does not mesh well with the Predator Mythos. The original was so great because on the surface it seems like a generic 80's action sci fi film, but the way John Mctiernan crafted the film was amazing. It is a slow burn like a fine cigar. The film starts as 80s over the top action. Then it slowly is stripped away into a foray of a primal cat and mouse game. It is the most dangerous game, but an alien is the hunter. The incredible score, the tension, and suspense. This new film just doesn't have that. I could not of thought of a better director to make their comeback for this film than John Mctiernan. He directed the greatest action movie of all time(Die Hard). And why is it great? Because the guy understands suspense, setting up the environment, setup/payoff, and nuance. Hell, I would have been fine if Black just wrote the script and did punch ups like he did for the first film. Mctiernan is a master of his craft and deserves to pull a George Miller ala Fury Road return. What is your guys thoughts on this?
Face on the thumbnail says it all
it says this will be an amazing episode
@@huseyinarisoy7824 that subverted my expectations!
The OST for Mandy is so fucking good.
One of my favourite movies ever.
Mandon't.
It's definitely legendary.
I relate to what Jay says re: cheddar goblin and the world doesn’t care about your problems because back in like 2nd grade I found out my grandmother died while the tv was playing a Wishbone salad dressing commercial. I barely remember my grandmother’s voice but that stupid commercial jingle has been etched into my mind for the past 25 years. Genius move on the director’s part and sure enough that exact same Wishbone commercial is up on TH-cam these days: th-cam.com/video/aA13DxM2BO0/w-d-xo.html
Anyway, make sure you turn off the tv when you give someone bad news.
They modified Arri Alexa’s to work with vintage Panavision lenses to get that film look. Most of it was captured in camera with a small percentage being post-process. Panos wanted to shoot Mandy on film but budget constraints forced him not to.
Thank you for this little piece of trivia. :)
I know a predator.
You know a hollywood producer? Cool.
Snorlax *Slide Whistle*
You don’t have to say his name if you don’t want to, but does it happen to rhyme with Mitch Kevins?
RICH EVANS?!
Rich Evans?
Actually burst out laughing at the very end. Love how RLM can do comedic timing better than any movie at the cinema :D
Strange comment, but I have an anxiety disorder, and when I'm feeling keyed-up or nervous, I throw on an episode of Half in the Bag. There's just something soothing about listening to a couple of hacks talk passionately about cinema and crack jokes about Nicolas Cage.
Love your guys' work! I don't often go to the cinema, but now I'd really like to see Mandy. Thanks for being radical
Thomas Dixon
I suppose 'anxiety-relieving' is subjective, but I can give you a few names! SomeOrdinaryGamers is also a channel I watch when I get keyed-up; Mutahar is a computer engineer overflowing with charisma who's probably best known for his browsing of the deep web! I love his Virus Investigations videos, too. He also has Let's Plays, Creepypasta readings, and lots of other game-geared content. He has this very calming air about him; Deep Web Browsing is also something I throw on when I'm anxious 😊
Let's see, who else? Oh! Search "Monster Factory" and look for the video playlist by Polygon; in but a few minutes your anxiety will melt away to be swiftly replaced by gut-splitting laughter. It's also a video game-oriented series; more specifically, a celebration of character creator systems in video games! They make the CRAZIEST stuff that's just an absolute riot, and you won't find a sense of humor like Justin and Griffin's anywhere else. I *strongly* recommend you start with "Exploding Shepard's Face Bones in Mass Effect 2"; that and "What if Dark Souls Were Made of Pizza?" both of which are pretty much exactly what they sound like, haha.
Down the Rabbit Hole is also a soothing channel! Fredrik is something of an internet historian, extensively cataloguing such phenomena as Chris Chan, vaporwave, The SCP Foundation, and many, many more. He also has a soothing voice, and he's very well-spoken, to boot! His content is fascinating.
I hope you find these recommendations to your liking! I'm sorry that we can empathize regarding our anxiety issues, but it's always nice to find camaraderie with others who share the same struggles as you.
I wish you a soothing, anxiety-free night - or morning... afternoon... wherever you are! I've found anxiety is much so easier to fight with laughter and curiosity. Again, I hope you enjoy, and please take care! 💜😊
I’m the same!! All the best with your journey :)
Aw, you as well! (gives you a great big hug)
You're an awesome person, Violet. You could've just thrown around a few names and call it a day. But you typed the extra line instead.
Aw, well thank you, Jacob! You're pretty awesome, yourself - you could have just looked at my comment and thought "wow, that's nice", and left it at that, but you took the time out of your day to leave your own comment with such kind words!
I'm always happy to give recommendations, especially regarding TH-camrs - anything I can do to spread the word of their awesome content and hopefully get some more exposure and viewers who enjoy their work is something I'll do happily! And doubly so for someone else who might be struggling with the same issues I have 😊
And this is just a teensy part of it, but since TH-cam is kind of notorious for having nasty comment sections, whenever I comment on something or reply to someone, I do my best to put forth some positivity and kindness to hopefully combat that reputation. I get kind of sad when I scroll through comments that are mostly negative, hurtful, or outraged, so I just like to fight fire with glitter and sparkles, hehe. ✨
Thank you again, Jacob! Your comment made my night 💜 Wherever you are, whatever time it is, I hope you have a lovely day!
Mandy was such a trip, wish I could forget it to rewatch it.
Take an edible
I’ve seen it 3 times and it’s always awesome, even sober. Watch it again anyway.
There's so much terrible in this movie they didn't mention nearly enough. The predator using the thumbs up severed arm. Nobody has mentioned this. Why the hell does a wormhole opening spaceship have intakes? This needs a Plinkett review.
JohnnyZenith
And the kid in the movie is so pointless...he’s the central part of the movie but he could be completely removed from the story and the movie would work better...it would simply be that there’s a dissenting Predator that wants to help us against the rest of his species
The Red frames around the thumb nails for these videos keeps tricking me into thinking I already watched them.
smh I know
Jay Parikh was literally about to comment saying the same thing
I literally thought this lol
Same.
Mandy and the Predator sounds like a terrible sitcom.
I’d watch it.
I can already see the bumper along the bottom of the screen where they're standing back to back with their arms crossed playfully laughing. Catch the premiere this Sunday 8pm right after Full House!
I just watched MANDY and it was they most refreshing break from the regular BS shoveled down our throats. FUCKING AWESOME!
half life 2 manhack sound at 38:40
The Predator is a movie about weaponized Autism.
Remember Shane Black's role in the original Predator with all the lame and cringy jokes? New The Predator is full of those Shane Blacks.
Yup
But less funny
Funny... Jeremy Jahns said the exact same thing in his review
Young Nation who tf watch's Jeremy jahn. Gross
gobzdzilla yeah and remember a lot of the additional writing for predator? That was an uncredited Shane Black as well who brought all the good humor in too. "You're hit, you're bleeding man!" "I ain't got time to bleed!" "Oh, ok!" So yeah, gotta take the good with the bad.
I'm glad Mandy got some love on this channel. Yes it's definitely not for everyone, but people should really see this on the big screen at least once if they get the chance. I can't wait to see it again in theaters at least a couple more times.
Saw this as my birthday gift with someone who hates these kinds of films, that's love. This film is really quite good if you're into psychadellic imagery. That score too.
It's not playing in a cinema near me. I'm not driving out of my way to see it. It should be put on more screens.
I understand that, if seeing the movie would mean I had to cover some additional expenses, I'd think twice as well. As for the film being put on more screens, sadly that's not up to the filmmaker... not only is it a fairly low-budget film, it's also for mature audiences AND it's not even for the general public, it's quite niche to a certain extent, so putting it on more screens would inevitably, probably result in loss of money as opposed to an improved box office result... which I'm guessing is why the film was released online a week ago.
I wish you guys talked about the soundtrack of Mandy. It was one of the best things about the film.
I would like to see Jay rank the most disturbing films he's seen, given the gnarly shit he gets into (not meant as a knock on him though).
Absolutely. I have to imagine a good amount of Italian horror would make the list.
This will be fixed in Predator 34
Indeed, I can see it right now in the kitchen, bending over a hot stove. But I can't see the stove.
Which of course will be titled "Predator"
That one will be titled "Predator", be a sequel only to the first movie ignoring the rest, and it will feature a whole cast of actors from a fairly popular TV show for no other reason then that people know them. Oh and elderly Arnold Schwarzenegger in a wheelchair will be in the movie for 3 minutes.
The Repredating
Don't forget they will introduce a time machine to this franchise so they can have predator fights medieval knights. Game of thrones vs predator.
Finally, I've been wondering what happened to Mandy after her and Billy stopped working together.
If Mandy was secretly set in the Grim Adventures of Bill and Mandy universe , I would love the movie even more than I already do.
Before: Being trapped in a claustrophobic space with an unknown monster. A relentless stalker endlessly hunting you down in the night. Lost in the woods being hunted by a alien.
Now: Learn their origins and culture! Big faction war! Gratuitous effect shots! Deeeep lore! Let's explain all the mystery! Look at the creature killing people!
I really hate what they've done with Alien, Predator and Terminator. Three of my favourite action sci-fi's they've ruined.
Out of all these reboots, the only one I liked was Salvation
Amen.
@@tadpolegaming4510 That turned out remarkably well considering the production issues that it had. I wish we could have had a sequel set entirely in 2029.
I hate lore. Lore has ruined sci-fi cinema.
Let's see what Tim Miller does with Terminator. He's the best director the franchise has had since Cameron. If that fails then that's the final nail in the coffin.
The whole Cheddar Goblin/bathroom scene is my favorite.
I Thought Nic Cage was outstanding in this, I could feel his pain throughout
He was going through a divorce. Deusdaecon did a review that is worth watching.
Does Mike wear contacts? Why does he keep rubbing his face? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR FAAAACE?
I was thinking the same thing because it's the same way I rub my fucking shitty eyes when I'm wearing contacts.
Tired of living that is.
He just saw The predator that's why his eyes hurt.
The Predator is from an alien master race of genius Olympic athletes that have mastered intergalactic travel but are jealous of our autism.
The Predator wants to steal all our Sonic the Hedgehog erotica so he can breed a race of super-soldiers that are all modeled after Christian Weston Chandler. The Predator wants to engineer a race of lonely virgins that get relentlessly cyberbullied and engage in regular shouting matches with children they lose games of Pokemon to.
And you're claiming this isn't the greatest story ever told.
My 3rd eye is opened
@@kaulenfuhs1630 If only Filthy Frank/Pink Guy was still around to do the soundtrack.
Go further. Make the predator study the mythos of Pepe and Kek, make the predator start wearing a fedora and tipping it each time it kills someone. You can go beyond what these hacks originally wrote for this movie.
@@elmangodefuego5526 The Predator writes self-insertion fanfic about trying to find Boyfriend-Free Girls To Make Into A Sweetheart From The Ground-Up where he's just sitting in front of a Panda Express, legs folded, playing Pokemon on his Nintendo DS, until mall security AKA JERKOPS drags him away screaming.
"Ohh, just you wait," thinks The Predator. "I'll write an Internet Revenge Comic about you yet."
@@elmangodefuego5526 Ooh, let's toss in an Incel angle. The Predator is only attacking Arnold because he's a Chad that snatches up all the Boyfriend-Free Staceys, thus fueling his Noviophobia, so now the Predator needs Bonus Autism to create a plausible fantasy world where his imaginary Sonic/Pokemon sexual surrogate Rosechu is the hottest fucking thing in the galaxy.
That's what he was attempting to communicate via his weird alien clicking language in Predator 87. That, and "it's okay to beg for sex in front of the Sunglasses Hut at the mall".
Can we talk about Nicolas Cage for a sec? Because he’s genuinely still an incredibly talented actor. He just has to take a lot of bad roles to pay off his debts. Watch Joe, Bad Lieutenant and of course Adaptation and Leaving Las Vegas.
Adaptation is one of the greatest movies ever!
Nobody doubts that. He is great. But yeah, he has to take literally almost any job offered willing to pay due to the debts. Often the problem is this means he is not available for the big roles even if they did want him to be like Superman. DC isn't going to sit around waiting for you to finish your shit tier horror movie.
Honestly a tragedy. When allowed to do his own thing he makes characters memorable.
Same thing with Brendan Frasier. Poor guy is locked in a never ending crappy movie stream till he pays his greedy ex-wife.
Didn't know that about Frazer.
For the record, his original Mummy movies were fun, good, pulp adventure movies, embarrassing scorpion king aside.
My friend had a Nice Cage theme birthday party early this year where we watched Cage movies the whole time. A birthday cake with Cage's face on it, mask party favors for us all to wear, and movie posters all over the living room. We had a decent mix of weird cage and good cage. Snake Eyes, Vampires Kiss, and that one with Michael Being where Cage wears sunglasses and a moustache lol.
I can't wait for Captain Planet Vs. Predator.
I need this now.
I saw Mandy for the first time on mushrooms, sweet jesus christ.
I'd like to watch TMNT Secret of the Ooze on shrooms
Don't watch movies on drugs. Drugs are meant to help time pass when you're bored. Movies are the same in that regard.
Go to baseball game or a mormon wedding on shrooms. I did and it was pretty fun.
@@travismcnasty4239 lol if you do psychedelics drugs to pass time they're eventually going to drop kick your soul off of a roof. Don't disrespect psychedelics, they are for serious introspection and being emotionally vulnerable with people. They can be really fun, but they don't exist just to be fun.
Damn... I was high on weed. And it was a fucking rollercoaster.
Horror trip because of how much the movie sucks?
I totally had the same reaction regarding Brown's character. Had no idea he had died and pretty much just assumed he was dead because he stopped showing up. It makes me feel better that I wasn't the only one.
I think I saw his death, but it was so...ridiculous, that my brain almost skipped it.
Fun fact: the actor who plays Jeremiah Sands (the evil cult leader) in Mandy is named Linus Roache, and he also appeared as Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne's dad, in Nolan's Batman films. I thought his performance was fantastic and Oscar-worthy (in Mandy, that is).
I could be wrong, but I was under the impression he would test his LSD on the tiger. I think he said something like, "You know it's good when she's calm." Which raises the question, what would LSD do to a tiger.
@@electricmindbodyandspirit6013 Same thing it does to a human honestly
I believe the "You know it's good when she's calm" is in reference to him not grabbing the gun when the blood-soaked mad-man shows up - he thinks he's safe from Cage because the tiger isn't reacting to him.
Predator is a classic film something we can all agree on. Predator 2 and Predators were better than they had any right to be - both were decent sequels. The Predator looked terrible from the trailers and I'm not shocked or surprised by the critical reaction.
I would rather re-watch AVP Requiem than what I saw last weekend.
Alien vs Predator showed that they can work together with other species as long as they are worthy and honorable.
AvP: Requiem showed that if you make a movie too dark for a theater showing, you get a shitty movie.
I was able to talk my friends out of seeing The Predator and into watching Mandy. Total reversal of what my night might have been.
This recommendation led to my husband and me driving out to a scenic overlook to watch 'Mandy'. We watched it on our tablet in the car as it got dark outside. It was amazing. Thanks RLM
That's a neat way to watch your movies. Drive to the woods to watch slasher flicks etc.
Yeah, we loved it! Called it a Drive Out movie.
The Predator summed up. "Dumber than a Tranformers movie“ 31:18
I enjoyed Beyond The Black Rainbow and it sounds like Mandy is very similar. BTBR starts out so psychological and ends as a slasher film. Mike and Jay talk about a switch for Mandy as well between the first and second acts, it sounds like a Director's signature. I can't wait to see what Panos Cosmatos does in the future. Also, I see that Elijah Wood is listed as a Producer, he is really pushing a lot of indie stuff now a days.
+kalron27 Mandy will haunt you for a long time after...
Just like she did the Nic Cage character in the final scene. [kinda spoiler ;)]
Mandy was thin on plot, but every scene, every shot and every frame was interesting to watch.
You wouldn't say Koyanisqaatsi or El Topo are "thin on plot". Mandy is so obviously not supposed to be a plot driven film.
I'm glad you mention Dredd near the end. That's the first movie I though of when I finished watching The Predator and thinking "can good modern remakes/reboots of old action movies still be done well?"
Please don't put a red edge border around your thumbnails. It makes it look like this video has already been watched. I need my HALF IN THE GODDAMN BAG
Jay and Josh need to make another Twin Peaks re:View episode about the third season.
Would love to see a re:View on Beyond the Black Rainbow at some point too.
Live footage of Nic Cage was leaked, he just happened to be fighting a larger man with a chainsaw
I thought this was the absolute worst thing Fred Decker was ever involved in, and then I remembered RoboCop 3....
A predator film where they use human tech could work, but only if you focus solely on the predator itself.
Like it's following this "criminal" predator, get stranded and losses it's tech and is forced to improvise, the humans are all non English and don't get subtitles, so both you and the predator don't know what the hell there doing, and don't care.
Hell it would almost be a silent film, all done through contact and body language
Abraxas is a pagan god referenced in the Damian novel by Herman Hesse, you movie snorting creeps
I thought it was about two men.
THANK YOU, I thought I was the only one who was confused by Sterling K. Brown's "death"!
That looks a lot different from the Billy and Mandy I grew up with.
I love it every time when I happen to be on a hardcore Red Letter Media/Half in the Bag Kick and a new video comes out
Wait, they were originally going to have a whole squad of good guy predators helping out in a tank? Where did that movie go? I would buy another ticket to go see it, even after seeing the movie we got instead
After I was done watching the predator, I was confused, because it was absolute garbage, but I still enjoyed every minute of it, and after awhile I realized that it was because this movie is an honest to goodness B movie, alongside carnosaur or critters. It has everything: the ridiculous messed up plot, the chosen one child, lengthy scenes of our rag tag ensemble making terrible jokes at each other for way too long, buckets of fake blood. The Predator belongs on the next best of the worst episode
just do predator in some other timeline of the past. like how they referenced they have been here for a long time in Predator 2 that would be sick.
Predator in 1600 Spain idfk
Really dred flopped?? When i saw it i was pleasantly surprised how amazing a action movie it was with some cool drugs clips.
It flopped domestically. It's a great film though.
Mandy and The Predator, best kiss 2018.
Yeah, when S.K.Brown died, I was like....wait....did he just die? It was quite possibly the quickest/random death of a higher billed character in a film I have seen in some time.
Predator vs John Malkovich
Love the review. Regarding Olivia munns character: I don't think there's a gray area? I think Hollywood conflates female empowerment with making a girl do "manly" things. At the end of the day, having a well-written character is what people want, regardless of gender. It's just more common to be critical of female roles since they can get so damn boring.
