Red letter media is known for the plinkett star wars reviews, but they make a lot of funny videos about movies - Half in the Bag is their review series. here is their newest vid, a nerd crew episode with 2(!) crate unboxings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bl5UH6EZXIM

i find i only ever tune in to the half in the bag episodes when it's a movie that i've seen that has buzz behind it and i'm conflicted about it. Best of the Worst is fun. I might be more of a Movies with Mikey guy.

Phone posting: RLM is hit or miss. The Plinkett reviews should go in the ducking library of Congress for just how well they d3construct the loving disaster that is the prequels. Beyond that, a lot of the half in the bag episodes alre only good if you've actually seen the movie.

I really was not impressed with the Star Wars Awakens review, there was a solid 20 minutes in there that was just Mike going "Young people have different tastes than me! Diversity is bad!" I'm gonna watch the Rogue One review when the movie hits netflix and I get to see it, and I really hope it's not as embarrassing as that was.

Their force awakens and rogue one reviews are pretty good in terms of criticism but the force awakens one goes off on some tangent about some stupid fan theory for the prequels that nobody cares about.

Force Awakens is very good and JJ is a very good director. Him being successful and popular doesn't detract from that. If I had a criticism of him it would be that he needs to associate with better writers. Disney knew what they were doing when they got him and he was probably the only real choice.

I would say TFA was well made and well directed but that it sucked

The Force Awakens and Rogue One are about as bad overall as any of the prequels but for very different reasons.

The only good Star Wars movie is the first one because the ship models were pretty cool and it had pretty good sound effects. The only reason they exist as monoliths of culture for decades is ads and merchandising.

Space Cop was worse than the entire Star Wars prequel trilogy put together.

HITB's are good when they are discussing smaller movies and not the big blockbusters, because what more can you say about every Superhero movie coming out without progressively coming off more like an old man who hates these movies are made to make tons of cash. I really enjoy their Re:view series, never heard about True Stories even though I like Talking Heads and David Byrne

The only reason they exist as monoliths of culture for decades is ads and merchandising. Return of the Jedi's third act- the throne room stuff in particular- is probably the highlight of the series IMHO. That being said the first one definitely has the most interesting production history- It's cool that at one point Star Wars was expected, by most, to be some bad B movie sci fi box office dud.

I respectfully disagree friend I never watch the movies and always find half in the bag to be a bright spot in an otherwise dismal life.

I don't really care if their critique of the new SW is fair or in good faith, I just want to see SW fans' tears flood the world.

Phantom Menace was bad in an auteur way, it had a style and a heart, even though it was a diseased, heinous heart that should have been aborted. The new films are just generic.

The awkward and retarded earnesty of the prequels is retroactively more endearing when compared to the soulless cynicism and shallow mediocrity of the Disney movies.

It's true, the tens of millions of Star Wars fans are crying into their beers about getting a fun new Star Wars movie evey year now that three middle-aged alcoholic Trekkies are mad about them having too many jokes and minorities.

I always thought I agreed more with Jay than with Mike, but in the 2016 Movie Catch-up, Jay said that The Lobster was good and I don't think I can ever agree with Jay on anything ever again.
