on the one hand, the extreme majority of the Plinkett reviews have been boring and aimless since Baby's Day Out on the other hand, the latest one did include Make Picard Gay

I thought the Plinkett Ghostbusters 2016 review was pretty good. I like the parts where RLM pointed out how to make the jokes better with less improv and better editing.

DesertIslandHermit posted:I enjoyed the Plinket stuff with the prequels because it had been about over a decade and plenty of time to cement peoples thoughts of the movies. I think Mr. Plinket as a character was good in the sense that he's a mix of grumpy, overly critical and absolutely insane that you couldn't take the entire review seriously. A mix of nonsense with some sincere honesty. The newer Mr. Plinket videos feel more like a ranting persona than in-depth. Mike could have waited some years before doing one on something like TLJ or Picard when the air finally settles.

It definitely feels like they keep doing Half in the Bag out of obligation because they clearly have a lot more fun on their other shows.

Nerd Crew was much funnier when that guy did the comparison video with Collider and it was spot on (though Jay felt it ruined the joke).

Not RLM related, but this video talking about paid advertisements on YouTube and why they're declared explicitly but other things like for product placement in a TV show doesn't necessarily need to, popped up in my recommendations earlier. Surprisingly interesting despite the dry-sounding subject matter.

achillesforever6 posted:Nerd Crew was the worst imo; but yeah Re:view and BOTW are the ones I watch I adored Nerd Crew, the intro alone was amazing. I think the thing it made fun of is dead now, so it doesn't have punch anymore, but the corporate backed official hype podcasts that showed their loyalty to the products they were shilling through ostentatious displays of merchandise were all over the place when everything was a cinematic universe and big movies based on comic books were hitting every other month. The like hundreds of services that all advertised on podcast that they'd just send you a box of poo poo that no one wanted, whole panels of grown people somehow getting excited about logos and obsessing over trailer frames, the shameless promotion and clout chasing... it was a whole industry. It was not Very Cool.

Nerd Crew is just genuinely funny whenever they decide to chuck out a video for it and when they broke character in some of the videos, those were actually the best parts. I have never not laughed at Rich looking at the Ghostbusters toy and just choking on laughter trying to explain it. Plus the Collider guys had a melt down everytime they made a video, so that was just the the icing on top.

Fake poo poo is always going to be bad, obviously, which is why I can't care about people having a mental breakdown about Star Wars or whatever.

Uh yes it’s also why I don’t care about whatever stupid this is good actually series. Though I don’t know who actually melts down about Star Wars anymore. Outside the short time when right wingers pretend they always liked the Star Wars actually. Unless your saying behind negative at all is melting down but that would be stupid

I mean there's been all that poo poo about two-faced chuds with The Mandalorian lately. Star Wars is sadly still a net-nazi free outrage machine.

RLM is like half botw by weight at this point and that's them having the times of their lives watching trash that while bad they're usually having a good time which isnt really relentless negative or mean or whatever.

That's longer than when I gave up on them so I'm clearly out of date. Clearly I need to give them a revisit now.

The only input I have on RLM chat is that I really liked the plinkett reviews because between all the weird jokes about killing his wife it took the time to, mostly, explain why the prequels were bad and I really liked that. Maybe it's because I'm dumb and enjoy people explaining why things are bad. I could never really get into half in the bag because almost every episode I've been linked just tends to be full of them saying a thing is bad because it's dumb or schlocky. And that it's not as good as movies like Gremlins.
