Very cool.
Very cool.
I love 90% of their stuff, and will always watch their output, but I’ve gotten a little tired of Half in Bag, especially since they’ve gotten weirdly overt about their blind spot for anything performatively feminist, that can’t help but come off as irksomely neckbeardy. Such as spending the first half of their Wonder Woman review complaining that marketing it as empowering to girls was dumb because ... Ameila Airheart existed? Or something? Or the first half of their Captain Marvel review they spent pointing out how unlikeable Brie Larson is, by regurgitating contextless click bait clips from the very worst depths of the YouTube algorithm. There’s an element of lazy South Park nihilism creeping in, which is a bit eyerolling to me.
It’s somewhat acceptable from Mike, because “schlubby Luddite” is his schtick, but it’s disappointing from Jay, whose supposedly more of a “not everything’s made for me, and thats fine” equal opportunities film buff...
Still, BOTW is always quality. And Culkin seems to have slotted in like he’s always been there. Though is anyone else a little disappointed whenever it’s a Wheel of the Worst? The bad home video stuff just doesn’t do it for me quite like the terrible B Movies do...

Ya, WOTW has a much lower hitrate than regular BOTW, but the few times it's hit (Shoji Tabouchi, the Japanese Christian tape) it's been awesome.
Dunno the latest wheel of the worst was pretty epic, and so so wrong. Orgasmic birth!
Congratulations to the hack frauds! Still hoping they got a Plinkett Review up their sleeve. I’d love to watch a 90 minute video essay on why those Matrix sequels are trash.
I forgot it was a wheel. Ya it was excellent.
I still maintain there are far more misses with that format, especially with the types of tapes they put on there.
I like WOTW because you never know what you're going to get. The sheer randomness is what makes it exciting.
I've not seen S2, does this mean I have to :/
Looks like it's still good ole Kurtzverse, don't think you have to.
This might be delightfully enough.

Heard the whole thing (working, so couldn't see the video).
I still can't believe their parody with the facebook-tier IFLS lines were actually lines rom the show; I had assumed they had been exaggerating. How fecking embarrassing.
The season seems like a mess, the exact type of mess which I assumed based on posts in the Discovery thread here.
Two times I was surprised by the reference Mike picked - torpedo lodged, unexploded, in a ship happened in DS9 too (Gamma quadrant meeting with some traders; Quark and the guy he was trying to cheat have to defuse it) - Mike picked Voyager, and also Ash Tyler as a sleeper agent - he picks Geordi but I thought of Kira in Second Skin and Seska in early Voyager.
Anyway it looks awful, I'm not paying for it.

There were a few new videos since last time we updated this thread. Very very cool videos.
And fresh off the presser...

That Rise of Skywalker prediction video is terrifying.
It is, I can genuinely see that happening and it will be fecking terrible.
At this point no matter what they put out is probably going to suck donkey balls anyway, but I have a feeling that video will turn out to be a bit prophetic.
I look forward to the plinkett review of the movie more than the actual movie
I don't think they went far enough, rey and Ben will Shag and rey will go back and give birth. When they ask her name. She will say Sky walker.
“Skywalker. Schmi Skywalker”
Just watched the last two BOTW... the Patton Oswalt one should’ve been bad, as the films were pretty lacklustre, but Patton is pretty much the perfect celeb guest for them, and fits into the crew even better than Macauley (whose gotten overused now) whereas the Rudy Ray Moore spotlight was basically the best type of BOTW movie... Hope they do the other two.
New episode of "very cool".
Awesome episode.
Neil Breen is back.
Neil Breen is always with us, watching and guiding.
That time of year again
Mike Stoklasa is a dangerous man.

Rich Evans. That is all.
Crossover episode!
Don't forget the "fight" between RLM and captain Kirk.

Shatner is 90, so, it's forgivable how much he actually misunderstood.
Riker is full of encouragement!

soyfacing in the worst way right now.
i was watching S1 last week and found some decent eps there (10011100*, home soil**) among the general awfulness, wonder what they will make of them.
Edit-
* rich's 1st pick
** rich's last pick
arsenal of freedom is a good choice too. dont remember symbiosis. neutral zone, the a and b stories make no sense together.

I'd pay for them to talk about Babylon 5 or even Farscape.
think they're going to do expanse at some point, they've mentioned it a few times.
babylon 5 has been hard to find online
i started farscape, seemed ok. did you like it?Mike seems to have been gifted an incredible talent of holding vast amount of information inside his brain. He has used this gift on obscure Star Trek references.

It's pretty awesome, both. And different, really from one another, and from Star Trek. If you're annoyed with puppeteering, Farscape might not be for you, the characters are great though, even the puppets. Babylon 5 is great all around - story, characters, cast, I'm currently re-watching it, and having a blast. And it was "remastered" recently, it's in HD now, with CGI improved over DVD, and it's home is on HBO MAX, or any better torrent site.
even visually!

To be fair, that one I knew as well.
