He says Evil the Cat in the background gives him devil from Fantasia vibes and then mentions the music. He says it’s Ride of the Valkyries, when it’s actually Night on Bald Mountain, which was actually in Fantasia. Edit: I’m not a truther and I only bring it up since I finally watched that episode and realized it was post-Kieran. And like I mentioned before, just a small nitpick.

I'm pretty sure there were even entire episodes where the name of the director of whatever film being discussed wasn't even mentioned. And James, bless him, barely said anything substantive at all. I remember thinking after a few episodes, "James really does not know cinema history all that well..." He seems to know a bit about his niche interests (golden age horror, for instance), but judging from his appearances on "Rental Reviews"...he doesn't know about much else.

Tony said in one of the last Hack the Movie videos before Newt got canned that "Newt literally writes EVERYTHING we say on Screenwave" Keiren was the best "slob" of all, i hate to hear him and Newt have beef. One time Tony was gonna be on Shark Exorcist 2 and kept talking about it right up until Newt was fired. Then right when Newt was gone he announced he was NOT gonna be on Shark Exorcist 2, in the comments i asked if it was because Newt was writing it and the fallout. the HTM channel replied something like " yeah Newt "wrote" (in parenthesis) a lot of things, but we couldnt be sure he wrote any of it, so we had ourselves removed from it." but really the Mike and Ryan show was a great series they had. but if Ryan, Newt, Tony, and Kiern could work together (not all at once, cause they do clash) independent of pushing the AVGN "brand" they could do some interesting stuff. James is best when he's like "Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is 100 years old today, lets talk about how great and innovative that film was" Stuff like that, when he talks from the heart, is peak James.... even the corny Rocky 4 mouden, he is having fun not pushing content. i wish all those Justin/AVGN/Cinemassacre/ Mike and Erin/ Tony ..... whoever.... would take turns coming to your channel for interviews to set the story straight. even James himself... i dont know why but i find this stuff fascinating

There are a ton of people there that never wanted Cinemassacre to get better, they just want to trash it over and over again. The saddest part about all this shit with Screenwave is that James had a guy at the helm who hated his job, and the team of people he worked for. If you he smart, he would have tapped into the fandom. There were a lot of smart/funny people who loved him and would have passionately contributed. Instead, it's been the blind leading the blind, and we now know that the entire team that screenwave is completely inept. What a waste.

That's when all the memes about him having a giant dong were going around and he'd ban anyone who made them, THEN he posted a photo of his wiener to "shut everybody up" yet continued to ban anyone who talked about THAT. That's why the mod's leaked their private chats with him because even they were getting fed up with him. We were forced to make a new sub to even be allowed to talk about anything, you'd get banned for even saying Bootsy's name in the regular sub.

Sure, he would have to probably pívot on the angry nerd stuff, maybe evolve the character to something more in line with his older audience, but it wouldn’t have been too difficult. The truth was though, as weird as Mike is/was it seems like he was knowledgeable one on keeping the show going. James has made poor decision after poor decision on his own.

Franky's theory isn't too far off from the truth. To my understanding, the whole screenwave thing REALLY started around the time the AVGN movie went into production and Mike was put in charge of cinemassacre. James was able to use that precious 'time' to complete his movie. Having experienced how much time he saved, Mike somehow got in touch with Ryan, and started the Mike and Ryan vids. Then it snowballed as Ryan suggested screenwave to Mike, then Mike suggested screenwave to James, and that was that.

I randomly get recommended these videos periodically and decided to watch this and just feel incredibly guilty because I feel like I contributed to this downfall of the channel so to speak. So bare with me, this is a pretty nutty story. Way back when James and Mike were indeed outsourcing their videos to a production company that now goes by Macintyre I believe. Anyway the dude in charge was a guy by the name of Andy. Around the time where Mike was doing his videos on Cinemassacre he had decided to do a review on all the 3D Spider-Man games. These reviews however were assisted by this production company and (surprise surprise) were plagiarized not only in just the writing but the actual footage being used for the reviews of which several were my own from my videos that they used, repurposed and edited to make seem like their own. So, here I am a lowly little KZbin channel having my words paraphrased and footage stolen angry that this massive channel that makes money hand over fist is screwing the guy who can barely rub two penny’s together on this platform. I got upset and called Mike out on Twitter and even tagged Pat Contri since he had a podcast and would cover stuff like this and plus, being close to James so I figure something would make it’s way over to someone eventually. Mike and Andy then BOTH DM’d me on Twitter with Mike really pushing for me to take the tweet down as he “hated drama” and Andy being apologetic about the theft. After some back and forth, Mike would fire the production company, put (my old) KZbin name in the description as a “thanks” for use of footage and seemingly thought we were squared. It’s a weird chain of events that led to Screenwave.

He thought that a twitch shout out and a description notation was enough which I was just like whatever about at that point. Not like I wanted money but like AT LEAST acknowledge how absolutely screwed up it is and make it right by that person. Putting something in the description of your KZbin video which no one reads is hardly making things square. Makes you wonder what else they’ve been taking from folks.

It just sounds like they wanted to sweep this under the rug and keep screwing you over in the process. I've had content stolen too (and it's why I don't KZbin any more and my stuff is all private).

"Nerd pulling his hair out in rage" skit to cover-up his real life baldness would be a pretty clever and self-aware joke, James might actually put something like that in an AVGN episode. But it's Bimmy we're talking about here

I think the biggest issue is that James isn't aggressive/confrontational enough and has been a little too hands off as he tries to juggle his family responsibilities as well However, I think James is a genuinely good guy and just unfortunately doesn't surround himself with the best people

It really seems like James Rolfe just gave all the creative control to Justin Silverman. Justin, created screen wave with a bunch of his friends Kieran Newt and Jack the movies.

I think a good example of something carrying on without the people that made it what it is, is a band that no longer has or only has 1 real member left. Take the band YES for example, only Steve Howe really counts, the other members are hired guns or their former techs. It's essentially an imitation or in the case of a band, a cover band that managed to get the actual brand name and logo.

How much would AVGN be making a year to justify not having a real job? I assume he must be the housewife in his marriage because he should be able to go through the motions and never use “time” as an excuse for the decade length problem of quality control. It’s not like these guys are making long features editing six miles of film.

Only one plagiarized video was made available on KZbin, but a second video, Bad Taste, was temporarily available a day early on the Cinemassacre Odysee channel, which I was able to watch before it was taken down. This is why James' apology video is a lie. He only apologized for the one video, and Justin was going around acting like it was just one video too, despite at least 2 videos having been publicly available and exposed. To this day, many people still make statements as if only one plagiarized video was ever released, but it's not true.
