BOTW was so different then with the shorter runtime and snappier editing.
That's the case with most of these media Youtubers.
They go from short and to the point to ridiculously long and bloated.
Even the Plinkett reviews are short by today's standards, The Phantom Menace review is like 28 minutes long.
 
It was my first and last attempt to watch Previously Recorded. The game starts and Jack says "ok, we can choose from these seven types of vampires". Rich then replies in a bratty voice "I don't want to play any of them! Why doesn't the game let me play the kind of vampire I want?!"

That's when I turned it off.
Huh. I always think of Rich as the lore dude, the one who cares why things are the way they are in a fictional world, so that’s surprising. VTM is filled with lore, not all of it good, but enough to explain why it’s important that they have preexisting types of vampires.

Rich just has an autistic, childlike hatred of vampires because he associates vampires with Twilight, like he's permanently stuck in 2008.
 
I knew Sirenhead sounded familiar, as I'd seen [one of the many?] shorts-- did they mention who will be writing/directing?
I believe it's Zach Cregger (of Weapons and the upcoming Resident Evil film) fame directing
Unsure if he's writing but he's the only credited writer of Weapons so presumably he likes doing his own scripts
 
At 3:00, Jay says that Dick the Birthday Boy will never go from being an internet meme to a Hollywood film like Backrooms for "many, many... many reasons", was this a reference to the predator wearing a Dick the Birthday Boy t-shirt as one of the reasons it won't get made?

Hey everyone. We've got a Half in the Bag for The Odyssey in the works right now. We braved the heat wave to shoot the discussion so our brains were fried but I think we mostly form coherent sentences. We also have a whole bunch of Cannon movies ordered and on their way for a very special video we'll be shooting soon. In addition to those, we have a bunch of stuff lined up for August. It'll be a busy month!
 
Mike and Jay spend twenty six minutes striving to trick people into seeing the film by glazing it through dispensing ad hominems toward anyone who might criticize the film, then strawmanning criticisms for the sake of dismissing them out of hand (rather than make any case for the film having merits independent of what is specifically being criticized). In the final eight minutes or so, they go all-in on praising the film for being shot on film, "not being a comic book movie", and shooting on location without green screen. Note that they devote their "review" to emphasizing why people should feel obligated to see the movie, with relatively little sharing of what they personally enjoyed about the film that might earn a recommendation from them.

The two of them insist that you can't criticize Elliot Page ("they" pronouns used by Jay, "he" pronouns used by Mike) being in the film "for like five seconds." Mike further implies (with nothing to back this up) that criticism of Page's casting is politically motivated (while saying nothing of Page's casting being politically motivated).

The two of them insist that the random raceswapping doesn't matter; because Nolan cast "great actors."

The two of them insist that, had the movie been cast with Greek actors speaking Greek, "no one with that complaint would have gone to see the movie."

The two of them insist that the various deviations from the original story make the film "fresh"; dismissing a hypothetical faithful adaption as "feeling like something you've seen before." They handwave all raceswapping or deviation from the source material as "cast who you like."

There's a cut to a "troll" (a man vlogging his anticipation that the film's "wokeness" will cause it to bomb) for the sake of dehumanizing anyone critical of the film by needlessly politicizing its financial success. Mike and Jay believe this film should experience massive success for the sake of asserting moral superiority over "chuds", rather than through having mass appeal.

The review ends with Jay stating that the film (and Nolan's films in general) are "big and sloppy", before course-correcting that "that isn't necessarily a bad thing." Mike ends with "I don't have faith in the human race to go and see this." In case it isn't clear: These two are only willing to relate to the film as snobs. Mike reinforces this by belittling the attention span of anyone "bored" during the three hour film.

Mike does his tired Gen X "you can't criticize me because I was being ironic" schtick to end the video.

I haven't been watching RLM in probably a year or so, but wanted to see the reception from them on The Odyssey, and while I'm not surprised they had a positive reaction, I will say it feels a bit like they are sorta kinda trying to justify liking it in a way, and thus having to explain away any of the more criticized elements of it.
 
I refuse to see it, I guess because I am a chud. Nigger Helen of Troy, no thanks, nevermind the tranny derangement. I spend all day dodging political propaganda, it seems stupid to willingly sit down and consume it.

RLM was funny when they didn't spew their retarded shitlib political beliefs in every video.
