I've decided to stay away from it for now, I'm really not in the mood for smug “modern movies amirite?”. Speaking about Stephen, for some reason it just popped unto my head, one of my favourite little reactions of his. It's an old (fantastic) episode, “One magic Christmas”, and Andrew says something about a bank robbery, but calls it “an attack on a bank”. Steve: (laughs) “an attack on a bank?” Andrew: “yeah that's what they call them on the North Pole.” Steve: “oh that makes sense. So anyway...” (Andrew laughs in the background). (it's a top tier episode, check it out).

There's the smallest thing that Stephen did that pops in my head every so often and makes me laugh. In the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull episode, Andrew describes his ideal scenario of Indiana Jones kicking Mac into that vortex thing at the end, and just the way Stephen then imitates Ray Winstone screaming "Noooo!", it always gets me.

Nothing they say in The Spider-man episode is wrong though. Episode was also hilarious. Was very surprised though that Stephen popping the Spider-man balloon wasn’t mentioned once what with the parade and Thanksgiving happening in the movie.

Seriously, if you want sex in a movie, watch porn. If you want a realistic and healthy depiction of flirting, romance and sexuality in movies, that was never depicted in movies and likely never will.

Their point is that it absolutely has been depicted in many of the movies they watch and iirc they always deliberately acknowledge when they see a healthy, normal cinematic relationship

Chalk me up as someone who doesn’t mind when they harp on it. Hell, do it every episode. I can see why some people might think it’s one sided, but it’s surrounded by jokes and they always are coming at it from a larger opinion about film vs just whining about a movie in and of itself imho.

The Spider-Man episode was excellent but I felt the Alien episode was kinda meh. I can't remember an episode where Andrew monopolized the conversation as much as this one.

clown shoes posted:The Spider-Man episode was excellent but I felt the Alien episode was kinda meh. Completely agree with this. I just feel like movies of the Alien/Casablanca/Citizen Kane/Goodfellas variety don't provide enough material to really make the show shine. While Spider-Man is a good movie, it also has flaws that make for better riffs and digressions. If they kept the WLMs to entertaining schlock I would be very happy. But this is obviously a taste thing, and I'm sure others would disagree.

That’s not to say that the Alien episode didn’t have good stuff. The whole bit about “Did an alien gently caress my face?” was gold, Jerry.

All of the talk about sex and sexuality in movies began in earnest when they joined the Order of Boop, and invited her grace into their hearts. When they say "we want to see characters who gently caress" they really mean "we want to gently caress Betty Boop"

I like the WLMs because it's nice to see them having fun with a good movie while still cracking jokes like with Peter Lorre getting pissed about people writing "M" on his coats "where are they getting all this CHALK!?"

It took 27 minutes before they actually started talking about what was going on in the movie. I also made a mental bet to myself that if they do a bit about the xenomorph they would have it talk like how they do the shark from Jaws and of course they do My problem with their constant sexuality talk is that that's what it is, just constant. Like yes I agree that the Disney helmed marvel movies are sterile and completely devoid of realistic human interactions but they just keep going on and on about it to the point it's just awkward and I'm sure many would rather they just moved on

The best WLM episodes are films that most people love but that still have obvious shortcomings, goofy elements and gaping plot holes to poke fun at. Spiderman being a perfect example. Superman 1 & 2, Batman 89. The movies you listed are pretty much wall to wall excellence so the humor is harder to come by.

The twin voice impressions are always fun but I'm not sure anything will ever top Gary Busey / Holly Hunter being the same. Honorable mention goes to when Jupin points out that Steve's Lambert is just Triumph the Insult Comic Dog in the MK ep.

BiggerBoat posted:No, I think this is spot on. I think this is true but also: if the movie in question is “nerdy” it tends to be a lot more fun to talk about. Their episodes on Star Wars, LotR, Indiana Jones, all excellent fun while still being about wonderful movies, because there’s a lot of fun colourful characters and wonky stuff to riff on. Goodfellas was like the least fun I’ve had listening to these guys. Just beat after beat of “and then this scene, it’s so awesome, x is so good, y is fantastic.” Rinse and repeat. It’s not fun.

It’s a Wonderful Life is one of my favorite episodes and I think it falls into that same category as Kane or Goodfellas episodes. I think the hit and miss ratio is about the same for wlms and whms, its just with so many less wlms it seems like its worse.

Chris serenading the Baileys with "My Neck, My Back" is one of my all-time favorite bits from the show. E: Even if the WLM episodes are sometimes a little hit or miss, I like them as an excuse to revisit classics I haven't seen in a while or check out great movies I haven't gotten to yet. Listening to the guys chat about them afterward just sweetens the deal! Nikaer Drekin fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Dec 20, 2021 |

Yeah, there are some all-timer WLM. I still maintain though that since they did they switch to WLM for Patreon and enshrined December as WLM month on the main feed we should get a special December WHM on the Patreon instead of just a normal episode  Pick a real horrendous Christmas movie and just go wild, you have like 100 years worth of untapped potential there.
