Birdemic spent literally tens of dollars on their bird effects.

[@DataCab1e]

Then they were grossly overcharged.

[@pete_lind]

@@DataCab1e Just buy some crow cut outs , string and bounce those front of a camera ... that better than Hitchcocks trowing live birds on actors method .

[@tmatthewnielsen]

I think they just took some bird gifs from a late-90s website.

[@codyt821]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@ObiWanGinobiliTopFan]

I was thinking fives of dollars, but we'll have to agree to disagree. 😆

[@BriGuyIL1980]

"Can we watch The Room instead?" That says it all, doesn't it?

[@06mustangCE]

So this was filmed in my home town. And I didn't know that when I first started watching it but I had heard it was going to be a particularly bad movie. The slow realization of familiarity I had during the opening driving scene is one of the weirdest experiences I've had in my life. "Oh hey, I know where he's driving. He's on Highway 92 heading right towards... oh no. oh no. oh god no."

[@stephenpmurphy591]

I'm sure your heart swelled with pride!

[@godmagnus]

HE'S COMING RIGHT TOWARDS ME!!

[@p-forest]

It's a city I used to visit quite often when lived in the bay area, and still do when I get up there...not only was the 92 crawl unnecessarily long, but the camera wasn't even level lol. Recognized so many of the locations, the diner, the double decker bus, etc.

[@zannchristo]

"oh fuck, they are coming for me"

[@liamwarner5749]

Could be worse you might have seen yourself in the background of one of the scenes.

[@LovelessDogg1]

Matthew is usually so composed, it’s always a treat to see him start to lose it during a movie like this.

[@ThreadBomb]

If you are really watching the "worst" movies, you need to get serious and enter the Breen-iverse. *Neil Breen,* that is. Iconic director of five cosmic masterpieces (so far), plus his 340 minute "5 Feature Film Retrospective", which is a masterclass in how to make a film like Neil Breen.

[@Palmieres]

This. Breen is our all-powerful alien lord and saviour. You simply MUST learn of his gospel.

[@RyoHazuki224]

Red Letter Media approves!

[@MustafaAli-lb8dq]

Breen's movies are boring except Fateful Findings. That movie is pure Breenius!

[@shioriryukaze]

​@@MustafaAli-lb8dqthere are so many lines from that movie that a cringe-worthy. It's a great movie that I wish We still had mystery science theater 3000 around

[@GuessWhoAsks]

That was an amazing journey. Seeing how much fun Mathew as having contrasted so well with Emily's squirming in her seat from the cringe.

[@googlesucks2449]

Samurai Cop needs a reaction!

[@delicia3013]

I foolishly tried to take a drink of water while watching this reaction. I'm still cleaning water out of my keyboard. Probably the funniest reaction I've seen from y'all so far!!

[@Melancthon7332]

Whitney Moore (the lead actress in this travesty) ended up being pretty dang cool. She does really great stuff in the online RPG/actual play world - she was part of probably my favorite group of regular roleplayers ever, The Weave Society on Geek & Sundry's Twitch channel. She's also been doing reviews and interviews on the heavy metal scene for years and years in different forms, and through the pandemic she directed a bunch of short films that are actually pretty dang good - who knew that the lead makeup artist of Birdemic would end up being a successful director?

[@ThreadBomb]

She was definitely the best actor in the movie. The only part of this movie at a professional level.

[@nielsdegroot9138]

@9:43 I half expected Emily to drink straight from the bottle. 😂

[@involunteer]

My family will occasionally say "soluhpanels" like Rod does and we still laugh.

[@stressfreepaperchase3215]

this movie just proves if you wanna make a movie just make a movie.

[@breakingames7772]

Umm no it proves they were smart to make this....I can't believe people like you actually think they tried their best to make a quality movie, the producers knew movies like troll 2 made a lot of money being bad... This movie is meant to be so bad it becomes a cult classic and sells a lot of copies, they knew what they were doing with it and the actors were directed to be awkward and badly timed

[@edthestraightedge8783]

It also proves that some people just shouldn’t make a movie.

[@ThreadBomb]

It proves the opposite. Do not make that movie!

[@Lethgar_Smith]

@@breakingames7772 Umm no, There was no "they". There were no "producers". It was just one guy with some money he wanted to throw away on a dream he had for a movie. It was not meant to be bad. This is an honest attempt to make an action sci-fi movie by someone who does not know how to make movies. Just look at the opening scene in the restaurant. You could not intentionally create something that awful unless you were an actual film maker with some real talent who understood the fine art of irony and and how to mock cliché. And even then, you would be able to tell that it was intentional. You simply cant fake an honest attempt to be good and fail so miserably at it. You cant fake cringe. I know it is sometimes hard to accept that someone could make a movie this bad and that it would actually exist out there, but it does. For every one that becomes a cult classic there are a hundred more that you will never hear of.

[@weepingscorpion8739]

I'm sorry, Emily, and I'm sorry, Pippin. Matthew's crying and dying from laughter before the actual punchline/bad acting moment/etc. are the main star again. :)

[@hikikomicklori9290]

Let me leave a long drawn out thesis about how Birdemic is the single greatest feat of movie making since - Nevermind, I hear a mountain lion, I gotta get back to my house.

[@alwayswrite2011]

3:11 - There it is. Matthew's patented "Look of Revelation"! 23:12 - I'm holding out for Matthew's high rating now. Matthew desperately trying to keep himself together and utterly failing while Emily lost her mind made this one of your best videos, guys!

[@JuanAlvarez-vd6yc]

This "movie" makes The Room like an Oscar winner.

[@davidmenchaca1063]

“Why did they explode?” “Because, science.” 😂

[@heyskipj]

Matt: you’re barely a quarter of the way into the movie. Emily: (Glug, glug, glug…)

[@Thumperworld]

This movie is horrible. This reaction is fantastic and… oh I gotta go I hear a Mountain Lion coming.

Until just now, I thought bad movies were a complete waste of everyone's time. But you add Summ reactions to it, and it becomes the funniest thing I've seen this whole year! "Are those dragons?!?" Thank you for sharing your content, and looking forward to to the future. (PS: I paused it to write this at just 7:21 into it!)

[@Atlas_Redux]

Dude, The Room is 100% worth watching in its entirety. React channels have covered the famous scenes, but it is an insane wreck all around. Birdemic, eh, don't think I could 100% it again. But The Room? It's ... it's just amazing.

[@rna151]

My favorite line from the RiffTrax, "You know how they say hummingbirds are the only birds that can hover in place? You know what I say to that? Caw. Caw. Caw."

[@beatmet2355]

The creators of this MUST be trolling the audience. There’s no way this wasn’t done deliberately lol One good takeaway of this is that it shows what NOT to do when producing a movie. It’s a cautionary tale.

[@dennycochran5323]

You'll be glad to know, there was a "Birdemic II: The Resurrection" made by Nguyen, and "Birdemic III: Sea Eagle" is slated to be made in 2022! :-P

You have$10,000 to make a movie. Rational person - "well any kind of special effects are out". James Nguyen - "Birds! lots of birds attacking people from the sky! It will look amazing!".

[@jcoptimus]

I watched this for the first time during a Rifftrax show. If memory serves, the opening driving scenes were so grainy, I thought the movie was made in like 1978. Then dude pulls up in a modern Mustang and I almost lost it. "What year is it? Where am I?" And yes, there is a sequel.

[@ObiWanGinobiliTopFan]

I love that her most horrified reaction of the movie is when the guy and girl are dancing. 🤣

[@Rhodair]

10:16 ROFL when the movie suddenly kicks in hard right after her speech - couldn't get anymore perfect

[@txf4]

Let it be known: no fake ass birds were harmed in the making of this film. Also, y'all should definitely watch the Neil Breen movies!

[@adambrown3918]

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC REACTIONS! I can feel Neil Breen closing in on you guys. I can't wait!!😀

[@breakingames7772]

You a fanboyflicks subscriber too? Lol....this movie was made to be bad and a cult classic. The producers made it to be bad, and succeeded because it's made millions of dollars

[@grife3000]

Yeah, I saw it first on RiffTrax so I can really appreciate it for what it is. I'm glad that you caught the great salesman just casually threw in a million dollar discount unsolicited before closing the deal. And you don't have to have the cause of the horror antagonist be the protagonist. Sometimes you just set up the movie by getting you to care about the main characters so you have empathy when things go wrong for them.

I'm here at 3:47 and I can't imagine caring for anyone in this ;-)

[@garysmith3037]

"Anything else for me before we get into this?" Yes, may God have mercy on your soul, you poor poor woman. Lol I saw this on a Rifftrax video, and it was the only reason I could make it through the entire thing.

[@GigiC4]

There is not enough alcohol in the world to make this movie good but I do love Mathew's suggestion of Rod at the end being a giant bird in a human costume, it would improve the movie 1000%.

[@quietman71]

I’m really glad I had a bottle of wine nearby when I watched this one. I want to give poor Emily a hug.

[@timhutchinson3264]

12:20 And yes, the so-called bird expert called himself an "orthologist!" Not to be confused with an ornithologist. 😏

Came across this one my god during the dance scene I'd been chugging a box o wine praying for the sweet release of an alcohol induced coma..great reaction guys

[@ryanadams5159]

Hard to believe it took them 3 years and 45 bird trainers to make this movie 😊

[@wfly81]

The story goes that there was a guy hired to do CGI, and the birds you see were used as placeholders to be replaced later. But he quit once he realized the director wasn't going to pay him, so the director just left in the placeholder birds.

[@chrisfox6843]

Best movie ever made, it's a rock fact.

The criticism sandwich was inverted, but considering the movie absolutely appropriate.

"...a bird in disguise...", not only would have been a wonderful twist, but would have helped justify a bunch!

[@ernieb352]

I just broke out in laughter as soon as the dinner scene started and Emily heard the amazing 10.5 quadruple digital audio the movie has. So one thing about how the birds looked, I saw a while back that the main actor (I think it was him) said that the scenes where the birds where attacking them and they used the wire hangers where supposed to be edited with better looking birds, but I think either the effects guy or editor left due to budget and they ended up using the really bad mix of photoshop and 1990 CGI which is what we saw because the director ended up editing the scene.

[@oscardiggs246]

The great thing about the weird long shots is that at least there is no one trying to act.
