The two of them did not review them on their TV show. That first link isn't even Transformers: The Movie. I recall they did review TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze for some reason and they of course trashed it.
It has been heading that way for awhile now. Last year they were able to pump out a couple of episodes that actually felt like traditional episodes. But it has become increasingly evident that they hate the state of the film industry and just want to rant about it.
The difference between the Nerd Crew and now is that there was some sense of optimism with what they were satirizing. For all the jokes they made, I think they genuinely did not anticipate the film industry to get this bad. For whatever problems the film industry was facing back then, they had more hope than they do now that things would improve.
Midnight's Edge bitches about Hollywood all the time, but they find ways to make interesting by explaining how it's not working as a business.
it's really gay how that barbie movie was tryna be all woke and shit with how like every single idpol thing that can be thrown at any target is matter of fact but then in response to the idea of there being fascist elements to mattel or capitalism it suddenly goes "well actually definitionally capitalism involves railroads or control of commerce so tecknikallee!... just ignore corporate funding of colombian death squads"
yknow i feel the problem with the review is not the amount they watched but rather who is reviewing it
I feel like they should get Rich in reviews of game adaptations since it would've also been more interesting.
to kill a mocking bird and Tron:legacy have that element. its an old school type of plot, back before the days of the internet when it really was unique to be a shut in.
Didn't they shit one of those out for Madame Web last year?I can't believe it's been 6 years since The Nerd Crew
I liked the definitional reax to being called fascist because it was perfectly in-character; a naïf/newborn, ensouled Frosty the Snowman will always be literal and embody an Asperger's type response to deeply layered conversational speech.
It could be that they actually did watch the 2nd half of the movie but are lying about it to make a point.
Excuse me... you're comparing Midnight's Edge to RLM as a way to trash RLM?
RLM barely does their job anymore. They barely make videos at inconsistent times, have zero clue as to why movies are bad now, and are in the Hollywood C-list Cul De Sac of collabs.
I quit watching Half in the Bag years ago, and I have never watched Re:View (unless it's about Trek). The only things they make that interest me are Best of the Worst and the other random oddball things they do like the trivia game shows (absolute peak content) and that paranormal investigation thing. They had that quasi documentary thing about the Nukie tape that was breddy gud. Sometimes they post videos about their stupid arts and crafts projects and those are nice. Shit like that. If they basically stopped reviewing current and popular movies and switched to only doing odd video topics and trivia shows + Best of the Worst I would be much happier with their content. But realistically they most likely rely on the clicks from posting videos containing CURRENT THING in the title too much, even if they wanted to abandon reviews.
There is definitely value in a professional critic openly stating "this was such dogshit I walked out halfway through, sorry." That in itself is quite a strong sentiment about the quality of a production.
Mike has developed a sixth sense with theater audiences. He could sense the upcoming disaster that would occur with the chicken jockey scene like a land animal anticipating a tsunami from an underwater earthquake and naturally fled from ground zero.
If you like, see above a post in which I described in possibly too much detail why RLM should shut up politically.
