Love how the difference between modern AVGN and Nostalgia Critic is that one is clearly a broken man who lost his passion far too many years ago due to the failure of his epic hollywood attempt but can't stop because he doesn't know how to do anything else, while the other man was broken from the very start and can't stop because he's actually in love with the insane things he does.

I don’t know where else I’d be able to state this so I’ll put it here. James has made errors in the past so it’s not a big deal. I noticed that the Earthworm Jim episode was written by James-or at least it said it was written by James-but there was a small nitpick I have. 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.

Yeah the set was admittedly great. My main problem with the show was how none of them seemed to know much about cinema. It's been a while since I watched any episodes, but I recall their discussions being mostly superficial and surface level. 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.

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

I'm a person who was on the cinemassacre truth way back before it blew up. Back then, the people that were there, really cared about cinemassacre and wanted it to improve. Of course we made fun of it, but it wasn't just about that. I've since abandoned the group, because of what it became. 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.

[@RedCowArcade]

I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call our channel successful.

[@zachary_attackery]

Cinemassacre Truth started long before Screenwave ever came in and the show was still good. It started because Mike kept kicking people off the regular "official" Cinemassacre sub. 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. The overall decline of the channel started long after Cinemassacre Truth had been established

[@hey_you]

@@RedCowArcade who said it was?

[@RockoEstalon]

Same. I went to the truth subreddit because you could discuss episodes more freely without getting banned for doing genuine criticism of the show but it's just mean spirited posting against James, those tired "cuck" memes from /tv/ and dunking on every video analysis about AVGN that doesn't conclude in calling James an asshole or something.

[@MrSkeltal268]

I too want cinemssacre to do well but I’m also enthralled at looking at what it has become. It is sad in a way, because James had a very successful “brand” and image he could have had continued success I think. 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.

[@P1SM]

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.

[@RedCowArcade]

Fascinating. It’s like there’s no escape from this cycle of shit.

[@P1SM]

@@RedCowArcade the entire thing was just bizarre. And Mike himself was kind of weird about it too. He threw his production company under the bus even though he admitted he had written some of it, still wouldn’t even give me a writing credit, or properly acknowledge what of mine was actually used considering they stole from 2 of my reviews. 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.

[@agenerichuman]

It's awful that that happened to you. But I'm going to be frank. You deserve a lot more than a simple thanks. They should have contacted you directly and figured out some sort of financial compensation as well as a credit (not just a thanks). Plus an announcement and owning up to our publicly. 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). It sucks and sometimes there's no good solutions. But never lose sight of the fact that what you do has value. Don't let someone take that from you.

Its funny you brought up the hair, i was pondering that myself. his only option to fix it involves time travel and convincing his past self to just wear a hat, or beanie idk. its a lesson to current talent if you intend on beating a dead horse of a character for 10 plus years, just put a hat on, just put a hat on guy A. its cold outside B. like 60% of men go bald u gonna beat those odds. Love your guys content

I can't believe that these guys blew so much money on a table. They could have just gone to home depot or Walmart. And bought a decent nice table for at least $200.😂😂😂😂 And good job on the avgn videos

$2500 just so James could sit at the end of the table with his feet at 90 degree angles

i fuck with kieran and tony... never understood why they canceled rental reviews, the show averaged like 250k views during the first week or so. they just had to watch a movie and talk about it. they (i think justin) said it was underperforming which i take as "how can we do even less work?"

It's crazy to think that the Famicom started out with single screen arcade goofs like Milk and Nuts and ended up with titles like SMB 3 and Power Blade.

[@Deadguy2322forreal]

The Famicom/NES was only able to make those leaps due to the mapper chips. Some of the MMC5 games are running more on the cartridge than the console!

[@chall6761]

I don't even remember what these goofs were talking about. But the point remains the same. And yes I am aware of the mappers.

[@HarakiriRock]

Plagiarism aside, Newt is absolutely insufferable. I quit watching Tony's channel solely because of Newt. I think they eventually stopped putting him on camera because his drunken derailments ruined the show, but still, too little too late for me.

[@Jumbs146]

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 because Justin who was somewhat moderately successful running silvermania with these people he thought they could take up more professional work with AVGN

[@anthonyvolk6185]

Shitting on screenwave all the while wearing an avgn hoodie….. amazing

[@grimTales1]

The ideas for AVGN about 25 minutes in sound really cool, in fact, maybe even an idea for a real series finale.

[@ProgSnob14]

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.

[@Shifty1940]

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.

[@random_an0n]

his vids brought in a ton of cash and he probs invested it well,paid for the house etc

[@samleembardo6202]

At the end of this video you should have added "The Caveman Kieran will return" Also, "What else can we do to destroy a game?" how about for Earthworm Jim you just cover it in Earthworms and CGI them eating the game

[@marcelthorsen]

Rental Reviews was so good but I’m glad Tony continued the format (more or less) with Hack The Movies.

[@cmdrfunk]

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.

[@JamesJohnson-tr1gu]

Newt insinuates on a couple of his live streams a few months ago that Screenwave start pounding him with work because the other slobs were either too incompetent or they (meaning Keiran) was too drunk on the job to do anything lol...of course the truth is somewhere in the middle

[@listerinedream6316]

i honestly love Kieran he reminds me so much of some of the dudes i use to work with in Portland Or , i really hope he can take a joke because this shit IS really funny and even though he is awkward as hell he seems genuine.
