This "Satan/Santa" movie pitch is great. Almost as great as "Not so easy kill". Would love to see both getting made.

[@mland2012]

Santa's character arc can be that he's afraid of fire from having to go down so many chimneys, and being Lord of Hell for a few weeks helps him overcome his fear.

Holy shit that final rant by Rich is already one of my favorite RLM moments

[@tmkscholar]

Meme comments aside, Rich Evans made so many incredible jokes, connections, and observational puns this episode. He’s really showing up in this episode

[@KarazolaX]

I was a production assistant on the set of the recent dungeons and dragons movie. I can confirm that both directors on set, Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, each took turns saying "And... action! Dungeons and Dragons." Every take. They never explained why they kept repeating the property's name every time we did a take, but we weren't going to ask after they threw cold coffee on the assistant DP and ran her off the set in tears for 'questioning their vision'.

@@liam2745 well i would reccomend typing in Rlm dungeoms and dragons commemtary, they explain it well. Basicallu the director SOMEHOW got the rights to DnD at thr age of like 16, and the movie was also made right behind the firsy Lotr making it look very bad.

The last five minutes being a film review equivalent of WWE Wrestlemania: Rich breaking all the rules and monologuing by yelling straight into the camera, everyone stunned nearly speechless, and yet, there's nothing to be done about it. Mee Christmas takes the belt and thus and rightly is the winner of Best of the Worst.

Mickey Rooney was one of the most vocal of the people who spoke out against the original. Fact he appeared in a sequel is hysterical.

I kept hearing "Second Swing", which is a place here with cheesy commercials that sells ...for real ... used golf equipment. Oh, to keep it on topic, here's what I think happened: the actor said "should I really be humping her while yelling 'I can be your son''?" and the director said "good point -- we'd better establish that you have no pimentos down there".

I'm not seeing any comment about it, but what Jack is describing at the beginning is the ability Action Surge. Second wind is the ability for a fighter to use his bonus action to regain 1d10 + his fighter level HP. Also, welcome back Jack! :D

Theres a Cuphead episode about it

[@ChillHills]

I like the idea of Santa remembering names from the naughty list. And he just goes “Oh ho ho. I knew you would end up in a place like this. Very well, I’ll grant you the pony you wanted.” And then a large Minotaur ends up on the persons back as they’re saddles like a horse. And Satans part is a complete rom com where he falls in love with Mrs Clause while he was trying to return back to Satan. Or maybe Santa Clauses right hand man. Idk Satan doesn’t seem like they’re too hung up on genders.

[@lotus-prince]

You can. It's called Santa's Slay, with Bill Goldberg. :-D
