Magic Hate Ball posted:It's way funnier when they're not allowed to curse, because it focuses the comic energy on finding new ways to make cracks about the movie that are more relevant than them just despairing over how bad it is. Pretty much -- obviously he's persona non grata now, but there's a reason Bill Cosby's stand-up was popular for decades after he recorded it: He actually wrote jokes, instead of just going for vulgarity.

bunnyofdoom posted:Any idea what movies are on the docket yet? I imagine they're still working that out (legal clearances and the like), considering they're still adding writers and cast members and they haven't given even a vague sense of a release date (and the Netflix pickup might have given them an increased budget, too).

caligulamprey posted:It's pretty much guaranteed they're gonna spill the beans on the release date of the new season during the Turkey Day marathon, right? As the distributor, Netflix has the final say as to when the episodes will release, and given that Joel and the gang are still actively working on post-production (or even possibly production), I doubt they're at the point that they could give more than a vague release timeframe beyond the already-said "sometime early 2017," which basically means Q1/Q2.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I doubt the star rating is that important when deciding on renewals anyway. The relevant metric is most likely number of views. Yep, plenty of trash gets renewed because of eyeballs. Adam Sandler's The Ridiculous 6, for example, was panned by everyone under the sun, but it still holds the record for the most views within a 30-day span of any movie in Netflix's history. The number-two spot belongs to The Do-Over, and Sandy Wexler will likely knock it off its perch. So even though the movies are unbelievably terrible, Netflix still extended Sandler's deal to cover eight movies. If people watch something, they'll fork out the money for it.

Bicyclops posted:It's sort of impossible to tell. Netflix may also be at the point where they have a few prestige shows that aren't seeing as many views as their other shows but are seeing glowing reviews from critics that they want to keep around. This is basically the exact reason House of Cards is still being made despite it getting steadily more expensive every year.

parallelodad posted:What the gently caress even is Sandy Wexler? The trailer thing that plays when you start the app looked like a completely vanilla movie about a young girl making it in the music industry, and also Adam Sandler is there for some reason. It's Adam Sandler's latest excuse to goof off on a movie set with his friends for a few months.

parallelodad posted:Yeah but what is it? It seemed like a light black family drama/comedy, which is not what he would usually produce or star in. quote:Sandy Wexler (Adam Sandler) is a talent manager working in Los Angeles in the 1990s, diligently, albeit erratically, representing a group of eccentric clients on the fringes of show business. His skills as a manager are challenged when he discovers a legitimately talented singer, Courtney Clarke (Jennifer Hudson). The Wexler character is a satirical homage to Sandler's real-life manager, Sandy Wernick.

My only knock on the revival outside of the rapid-fire riffs (which does seem to get better) is that Jonah and Baron's timbres are almost identical, so in the theater it's near-impossible to tell who's saying what. Otherwise, even though I was always more Mike than Joel, and this is far closer to Joel, I absolutely love it.

It's also likely a matter of finding a sweet spot for the budget, because now they're at Netflix's mercy: They don't have $6 million in crowdfunding money to offset costs this time around.

Powered Descent posted:That's how they get you. Yeah, but first they get you and then they pull so much content that you go, "Wait, what the gently caress?" But you've gotten used to the convenience so you don't bother canceling. Seriously, maybe four years ago their streaming library had 13,000 titles and change on it. Today, that number is under 4,000.

Proteus Jones posted:I think that may be a larger thing with FOX. A *ton* of FOX shows disappeared recently, and they haven't popped up elsewhere. Either FOX is fishing to lock in an exclusive agreement, priced themselves out of renewal with Netflix, or combo of both. It's not just Fox. Viacom pulled just about all of its programming from all streaming services back in February / March, and CBS is moving things over to its All Access service as contracts expire.

EatinCake posted:I wonder how much of a season 12 would hinge on finding 12 more movies they can afford to license. Maybe that takes time too :s Again, they also don't have the however many millions of dollars in crowdfunding that they had from the Kickstarter. For a season 12, they have whatever Netflix is willing to pay, and the amount Netflix is willing to pay is directly proportional to the answer to the question, "How many subscriptions will this generate?"

But don't worry, you can subscribe to the ReTile membership program, where they'll automatically send you a new tile or tiles to replace your old ones, for a generous 5 or 10 percent discount!

Keromaru5 posted:For my money, Pearl, Bobo, and Brain Guy didn't come into their own until they got to Castle Forrester. For one, it meant they'd dropped the network-mandated storylines. That in turn mean they had more flexibility, closer to Dr. F and Frank, where one minute they're inventing the Recomfy Bike, and another they're sitting on the couch, eating ice cream, and watching "Vicki." Yeah, this is me. Early Season 10 stuff didn't land that great for me, even though my sperm donor and I would watch it with a frozen pizza after getting home from a race night. Then again, I was, like, 13.

There's no way they forked out the money to Paramount or Universal to do a Fast & Furious or Transformers movie. Birdemic 2 isn't a bad guess, and my money is on one of the Sharknados. Otherwise it's almost certainly an Asylum joint.

I don’t know why I didn’t notice before They also didn't have the mountain of cash from the Kickstarter they did for Season 11. They did a pledge drive, but it didn't start until after Season 12 had already wrapped. So they were reliant on Netflix money entirely this time.

Cemetry Gator posted:And I love both approaches. Joel always has a style that reminds me of the Muppet Show. I don't know how to best describe it. Jim Henson once said that if each episode of The Muppet Show were a basketball game, the final score would always be Frog 99, Chaos 98. That seems to sum up Mike's run more than Joel's.
