[@MrCompletionist]

I am the editor and sound designer of Where's Rose. I've been a fan since I was 14, this is literally a dream come true. I have specifically told people I'll have made it when redlettermedia is reviewing my work. Never thought it would happen on the first feature I cut, doesn't feel real. Obviously he's right the film is far from perfect (Mike has totally nailed me on the sound lol, for most of the film I had one boom track to work with and basically no money for Foley/ADR). Other than the score and the grade, basically all of post production was done on a single computer. It was a blast, wouldn't have traded the experience for the world! Thanks for years of great videos Mike and Jay and the whole Redlettermedia team!

[@NorthernRealmJackal]

All things considered, I think "right there on the edge between shite and real expensive movie" is a big compliment for a movie that had no budget for sfx, and had its editor also do the sound design. Congratulations on the RLM coverage. I hear it's like being featured on Ellen except if Ellen was an aging alcoholic.

I'm a grown man, and went to watch five night's at freddy's with my sister, it was the most bizarre experience i ever had watching a movie, it was fully packed with kids, they were shouting excited at all the references, they applauded every time a youtuber made a cameo, there were times when the characters made a comment or a phrase out of nowhere, but i knew it was a reference to the games because every time it happened all the kids went nuts, there is a scene that apparently is a "big reveal" to the fans and when it happened the theater fucking exploded. I think this is what an old man that doesn't know anything about superheroes must have felt if he went to watch endgame's premiere. I had a great time

[@gardenia6]

My 11 and 13 enjoyed it, as did I! I can't believe no mention of the Henson Company animatronics, (by these two) though.

[@jimbo9305]

I'm right there with you. My 11 year old son watched it and absolutely loved it. He likes the games too. I couldn't give a sh*t and I was thoroughly confused the entire time. "Minimum wage for security at an abandoned restaurant? Why is that cop always showing up? What? Wait. Huh?"

[@martyjehovah]

@@hinasakukimi I think even when they do know the name of a youtuber they're referencing, they tend to pretend not to know out of embarrassment lol. The only youtubers I can recall Mike Jay or Rich naming are "Cinemasins", who's name they seem to use as a catch-all term for common/pointless gripes made by people who don't understand the subject of their own criticism or even the purpose of criticism itself, and I feel like I heard them mention pewdiepie at one point, but now that I'm thinking about it I'm not sure. They probably do know of a lot of youtubers, especially bigger names who have publicly spoken of being RLM fans (and consequently sent them big traffic spikes) like Dunkey and Jontron. By sheer necessity they probably have (at some point) looked into very big channels like Markiplier's to learn what does work on youtube. Also, they obviously know psychicpebbles and likely Oney through Smiling friends, and I would bet YMS adum since he and Colin from Canada seem to be friends. My guess is they avoid mentioning even youtubers they know/like just because they hate the inevitable 1 million "you should have them on BotW" comments, plus they have always seemed to view youtube as a necessary evil for distribution of their projects, but don't really have much interest in youtube projects, so they only really engage or interact when a youtuber does something outside of youtube that relates to movies or involves them.

[@VCV95]

If you wanna see some lower budget great "hero" movies, Super and Defendor are both great in their own ways. Both pretty hard R rated too. They came out around Kick-Ass, and use the idea of a non-super hero in great ways.

I think I'm not the only one of the 1.51M subscribers from this channel that would legit watch the second freddy's movie in the theater if it has Rich in it

[@yungoldman2823]

perfect timing boys, Ive been sh*tting and throwing up all night and I feel like a used sock, this will keep me company as I rehydrate and cry

[@sean8102]

Hope you feel better soon

[@rudishboy]

Hey bud, hope you feel better and everything but WTF are you doing to your socks?!

I cried butterfly tears!

i can't help but laugh everytime Mike says the word "ghost."

[@elliefantyellow]

Me too! I was just telling my fiancé that the word “ghost” is when Mike’s accent is at its strongest

[@LessDevoid]

Ghöst

[@adubseven]

I can still hear him saying 'So you got ghosts?' in his fake Chicago accent from a ghost detective show he loves.

[@kalibos]

​@@adubsevenso tell me about yer ghœst prahblem

[@infectedgoat7775]

Also Mike saying “you’ve got a bagul problem.”

[@william4996]

I think it's cute that Mike thinks you get to walk around in the FNAF games.

[@thesensur6214]

I love that mikes hypothetical different movie is just the plot of FNaF 2, the game.

[@docfortune]

Five Nights At Freddy's made all it's money up front because it was paid for ahead of time in order to get it on day-and-date on Peacock. It was popular enough that it still made a ton of money, and most of the fans(younger kids) loved it and turned out to see it at the theaters because it was an event for them the way Barbenheimer was an event for some people. So they understood their audience and they gave them what they wanted.

[@agentbrown5542]

'Understood their audience '? 'Gave them what they wanted'? I understand the individual words but strung together they make no sense. Disney probably.

[@eyzmaster]

At least they went to the theaters.. last time I went was before the covid-thing.. 2018?

[@MakiPcr]

I watched it in a small screen and everyone was a fan

[@ludvig3242]

A lot of the fans are probably in their thirties

[@efd7755]

Every time RLM mentions Freddy Got Fingered, an angel gets its wings

[@theheebs100]

when they discuss Freddy got Fingered, it makes me proud

[@patrickglaser1560]

Tom Green isn't doing anything he should appear on rlm

[@Zissou42]

proud!

[@asherliam8671]

Would love to have someone sit these two elderly men down to watch the 9 hour fnaf plot summary and have them try and make sense of it

[@timlangenderfer7746]

"Beau if Afraid" was awesome. Myself, my brother & my son loved it.

[@LynamUpProductions]

Mike trying to explain video games while in the midst of a serious discussion about the FNAF movie is hilarious.

[@mothrakk8535]

I think the reason behind the FNAF movies success is that there is a super dedicated and devoted fan base that have been waiting for 5 plus years to finally see this movie, regardless of quality

[@ArchibaldClumpy]

Also cinema standards have dropped so much that the target audience members probably just equate quality with adherence to fan theories

[@trashteamracing8262]

While watching the movie, I realized how familiar I was with the lore despite never having played anything but the first 2 nights of the first game.

[@MeEncantaMoss]

5 years is also the average age of a FNAF fan

[@Epsilonsama]

It also helps that the fanbase was 5 when they were waiting for the movie.

[@ennayanne]

I don't think they were alive five years ago

[@KingNothing710]

Jay went from Obi-Wan to a Beatle real fast

[@GentlemanBones]

Also I want to say like, the Five Nights movie felt a lot like a Stephen King story. There's just a man, using substance abuse to fail to deal with past trauma while letting his present slip away from him. And also there are the ghosts of children or whatever.

[@GoatgutsRecords]

waiting all year to hear mike and jay talk about beau is afraid for them to talk about it for 4 minutes and talk about the five nights at freddys movie for 15 minutes

[@Alicechan3]

Listening to Mike's rant against video games at 41:55 makes me oh so curious to know what he would think about Disco Elysium. It's literally all he's ever wanted when it comes to sad, dark comedies featuring characters with crippling alcoholism.

[@Jericho67777]

I wish their gaming channel was still a thing so rich evans and Jack could talk about it. Disco elysium really is the best

[@thomasel9171]

Damn, i just commented that, beat me to it, but i agree, i think he'd sympathize with Raphael Ambrosius Costeu 😂

[@InvaderKaz2008]

​@@thomasel9171don't you mean TEQUILA SUNSET?

[@ImmaLittlePip]

Ironically what Mike describe what he wanted is exactly what happens in the games The animatronics love kids and protects them but they hate adults

[@CoryFalde175]

I happened to catch the headlines in Mr. Plinkett's newspaper. I want to know why Mitt Romney is currently upset with Obama's foreign policy, but I can't read the fine print.

[@dmoonmaster1653]

Scream 7 should be a group of friends who are all killers except one and the innocent one has to go through a series of wacky hyjinks to hide that they aren't a killer. Then at the end they can monologue about why killing is bad, before being stabbed to death by their friends who are all killers.

[@dmoonmaster1653]

'Yeah I've totally stabbed people, why would I lie about that? The knife going in feels like stabbing bags of sand, right guys?'

[@funguy398]

​@@dmoonmaster1653i got the reference!

[@3n3my33]

Scream 6 actually threatened to do something interesting by revealing the killer right at the beginning, but then they killed them off with a new mystery killer

[@TLKingRichard]

That's literally the plot to Shark Tale

[@mrmaccy90]

I haven't been to the cinema in like 3 years but if they put Rich in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 I will legitimately go and see it opening night

[@topsuperseven7910]

Serious question that nobody ever seems to discuss or point out. For at least a decade now, almost every single horror movie has a very specific "time" it takes place in. The time is around 1979-1985 and let's say Northern USA/Southern Canada. It's Portland or Chilliwack around 1982. It's also never 'Seattle' but what would be more outlying cities and towns. The homes are decorated just as you'd see in a photo of your aunts home in 1984 maybe. *keep this in mind, the vast majority of homes in 1985 were absolutely not full of Rubiks cubes colors, Pacman and neon but were the home started in the 1970s and were rather 'bleak', wood, wall panels, a cross on a wall, often a kind of 'prairie look'* They wear haircuts from something like 1978. The clothes (see 5 Nights as shown here) that girl is dressed in 1981 teen girl from working class family clothes. I've even notice they almost always have a kind of '1982 filter' look too. A happy upbeat version would be 'Family Ties' the sitcom hit of 1982 but in todays movie world it's the darker version. Why is this? and why doesn't anyone ever seem to point this out? it's kind of remarkable isn't it? that we have 100s of films and we just somehow decided that yes, of course the 'new ghostbusters' or 'insidious 5' or all of them take place in this very same 1982 regional 'time and place' but it's never said.

[@garinsparks7041]

You guys!!!! Thanks for the wacky reviews of our movies FNAF & The Boogeyman. I saw your pic on set was sad when it vanished! These reviews were a blast! Thanks & Happy Holidays guys

This video was uploaded 11 minutes ago and I've already seen it 4x and mailed a letter to Mr. Plinkett telling him how wrong he is about the Eras Tour movie. It's not about pop stars, it's about family

[@LlamaOccident]

I love how he says "youtuber" in an almost disparaging way as though he is in denial of the fact that he is in fact a youtuber.

[@thekopekemaster]

I love Mike's description of video games: "[in] games you walk around and you... you click things, and you try to turn a knob, you walk around and you click this..." I wonder if he played Myst or something haha

[@alicecourtney5816]

The best description of the insidious sequels: “Insidious happens again. And then they stop insidious.”

[@williamglass2223]

Good to know RLM has watchers under their influence, willing to spread the influence of Dick the Birthday Boy in major Hollywood productions.

I kinda wish Mike would've seen Blue Beetle. It's the ultimate "It's about family and that's what powerful about it" movie, atleast in the superhero genre. Also, as expected, Jay's prediction about Aquaman 2 was right.

Jay's giving me Keanu Reeves vibes and I'm here for it

Mike didn't respond to whether he watched the D&D movie. He definitely saw the D&D movie and didn't want to say.

[@danielm9616]

You know, I'm starting to think they may not actually do a Batman review

[@leodcastle]

They should recreate the birthday's photo scene, for Five Nights 2, using that new de-aging technology, so you can have footage of Rich Evans dressed in a blue bodysuit.

[@PixelCrabs]

I saw The Marvels with a couple of my friends on the Friday it came out (Some of them work at AMC so we all got in for free). We were literally the only ones in the theater. It was kind of awesome just being able to yell at the movie and call it out whenever anything was stupid.

[@s3.14dervision]

You must have been hoarse by the end! 😂😂

[@roflcopter117]

Legit doing your own MST3K in a movie theater does sound fun. The only way I'd watch it, with my friends/family and booze.

[@hectorsoto9275]

At the beginning of Beau Is Afraid, Beau’s warned to not take his new medicine without water. It immediately cuts from him at his therapy appointment to him walking home and taking the pill without water. So it’s sort of hinted that it could all be in his head? Immediately after he takes the pill we begin to see strange people around him, for example: A kid cocking an AK-47. Honestly, I don’t think it matters all that much whether or not he is or isn’t, but I find it interesting.

[@felix56p]

haven't seen the movie but you're not supposed to take pills without water because it can irritate and possibly tear your throat

[@hectorsoto9275]

I’m aware of that, but his therapist makes a very big deal out of it and it feels intentional to me. The drug that he takes is apparently “new and cool” as well. Again, I don’t think it matters whether he is or isn’t being influenced by the drug. It’s a wild movie though, and I’d recommend it.

[@Nobard0]

"You can't make a super hero movie cheap." Ye old rock quarry, a few trampolines, and some pyrotechnics says otherwise.
