Half in the Bag: 2024 Mid-year Catch-up (part 1 of 2)

(00:00) Intro
(06:42) Curb Your Enthusiasm and Unfrosted
(11:11) Lousy Carter
(16:09) Snack Shack
(23:18) Imaginary and Night Swim
(34:17) Chucky

[@RedLetterMedia]

Sorry about the out of focus two shot. Both of them thought the other had checked the shot. Mike was drunk and Jay was HAF. They focused each others' shots IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. And that is NOT Mike in Lousy Carter. The movie Mike is in is called Lousy Farter. He's also in a movie called "Mike thinks he looks less fat when the shot is out of focus". Jay is also in a movie called "Pig was my favorite movie of the last ten years cause I'm a fucking weirdo". So again, Mike and Jay do not have a crew or a budget or anything else worthwhile in life. They do fail upwards constantly. Or rather, fail sideways. Mike continues failing sideways if you know what I mean. Or he like's to call it "Horizontal Expansion". Mike has just purchased stock in a company that makes belts for overweight bovine. They are looking to expand (pun intended) into the human market by selling their leather belts to portly gentlemen. You may wonder why a cow would need a belt? Or why a cow would wear a leather belt in the first place. The answer: Don't ask you scum. It's none of your business. Mike is gonna have over $5,000 dollars in his bank account when this stock goes public rest assured you fucks. Then he's gonna retire and live the good life on a cattle ranch wearing belts made of his friends.

I think people are hating so hard on Unfrosted because Seinfeld's been making the rounds the last few years complaining about how comedy is dying, and then his big return to mainstream comedy is... this. Its not offensive, but its also just not that funny and really just drills home that he's out of touch.

While decrying the death of comedy but forgetting that streaming shows with more brazen comedy than his exist today, and that shows like Curb exist. And having some very interesting takes and fundraisers related to current events.

[@FredCracklin]

@@WeWantBears Shows like Curb, South Park, and Always Sunny are grandfathered in, they existed long before comedy started to get watered down. I mean he isn't wrong either, while stand up comedy is pretty healthy right now (which translates over to podcasts) comedy barely exists in the theaters, is almost dead on cable (just look at once stalwarts like Adult Swim or Comedy Central or even Fox), and you're lucky to find the one in a sea of slop shows or movies that is worth a damn on streaming and when you do are they really comparable to the comedies that existed before or do they just stand out because everything else is just so bland/bad? Just because someone's socio-political ideas do not agree with yours doesn't make them wrong elsewhere. You need to take each idea/comment as its' own separate thing when they aren't really related to something else like politics.

Mike's summary of modern horror movies is pretty spot on, a lot of them just feel like a high budget episode of Goosebumps. Horror-adjacent, but staying within that pg-13 rating

[@oliverholmes-gunning5372]

The problem is production companies have become more and more afraid of taking any risks in the recent past, which is largely down to how expensive movies are to make these days. Only last night I was watching Ken Russell's The Devils, widely considered to be one of the most controversial horror movies ever made (to the point where Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave were banned from ever entering the country of Italy on pain of 3 years' imprisonment just for having starred in it lol), and I can't friggin' believe Warner Bros agreed to produce it in the first place, even if they did come to regret it later- these days I can't imagine them even giving Russell a pitch meeting after reading the first draft of the script. Having said that, ultra-mainstream movies have always wanted to appeal to as broad an audience as possible- there was plenty of pg-13 horror stuff back in the 70s and 80s as well. And it's not like teenybopper horror is the only choice we have. Plenty of horror auteurs like Robert Eggers, Lars Von Trier, Ari Aster (whose work I dislike personally, but still, one can't deny it's definitely not pg-13 stuff), Mike Flanagan, Jeremy Saulnier, etc are still making a lot of great stuff today. And one the less highbrow, more exploitation side there's plenty to enjoy too- hell, we got arguably the greatest entry in the entire Saw franchise last year, and we still have Terrifier 3 to look forward to this year (which if it's even half as good as Terrifier 2 will be an absolute blast for sure). And while the big companies don't want to touch the more cult stuff, there's plenty of smaller outfits like A24 that have been more than willing to step into that gap in the market.

Michigan man here. We DO NOT fill up our pools with ground water from a drain on the bottom, in case anybody was wondering. Most people just call and have a company come deliver water from a big truck unless they have some cheap above ground pool , then they probably just leave the hose on to fill it up. :] Thanks for the video rlm

The theater they go into is the Pioneer theater, where I've been watching movies for 30 years. It's a pretty wonderful place to live. I feel like the color temperature is off for some of the opening outdoor scenes. It was rather stormy for a chunk of the filming. The movie used cars from local folk to sit in the background.

[@pureevil9496]

Dinner in America was excellent and I loved it, thanks for the recommendation.

Finally, Rich has been able to roleplay his lifelong dream of being young or successful.

[@nicholasvinen]

"and" would be a bit too much of a stretch.

I love that Jay just can't contain his laugh ever when he's with Mike

[@JoeyJoeJoe87]

He is acting, they are filming an Internet show.

[@rdoino2210]

Mike overly explaining Simpsons jokes is my favourite RLM bit

[@guyincognito959]

To put it simple: People have less time for BS movies because money is not growing on trees and also we have internet. And can choose what to watch and when. That wasn't the case in the 90s and 00s and before, so naturally less people go to the theatres.

[@jillsandwitch67]

Jay thinks 90s nostalgia is coming when 2000s nostalgia has been here for years now.

[@theCarbonFreeze]

We mostly skipped over the 90s. DMn GenXers

[@ELEKTROSKANSEN]

Yeah, I'm currently REDISCOVERING my 90s nostalgia for the 2nd time...

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

98 to 2002 is my sweet spot

[@PuglyWont]

90s was already a pretty nostalgic time... and I don't think teenagers have ever stopped wearing Nirvana shirts.

The internet's a couple years out of date in Milwaukee.

Now I really want a Dinner in America 2 Blues Brothers-esque sequel. That sounds amazing.

[@myromm]

I was waiting for so long for them to talk about chucky, because I knew it would be right up heir alley. I'm so happy right now

Oh shit! Chucky series Re:View incoming?!

[@BammyJ007]

oh wait if mike does the Chucky marathon I HOPE we get a Chucky re:View!

[@TrueLunacy]

We need a Jacob's ladder 1990 review..

[@thecrazycapn]

We watched A Bucket of Blood last night after hearing Roger Corman had passed. We'd been watching several Hitchcock movies, and Bucket of Blood really is comparable, on a budget of nothing and a four day shoot. Roger Corman was a damn talented guy. RIP.

[@the_garlon]

It’s so great that the RLM boys will always be so, so much older than me.

[@mattwales2734]

'You're a movie, you can do whatever the hell you want.' LOL

[@connorlilliott3713]

The look in Jay's eyes when he's about to get to do a Re:View of all the Chucky movies, maybe even a trivia show... like a kid at Christmas right before Santa gets hit by a nuke

[@SpankerSauce]

I love how Tim Heidecker is still in charge of the VR repair shop

[@QuarrelsomeLocalOaf]

Did not expect a RLM video to open with Pokemon music. Mike seems like the kinda guy that says "the Pokeymans." Must've been Rich.

[@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819]

I think the music actually originates from Yo-Kai Watch. Much less likely to upset the copyright bots.

[@jasonbuchanan7042]

Most folks chase the almighty dollar, but Mike and Jay only chase the almighty Gallner.

[@Kaumak94]

PLEASE do a Re:view on all of the Chucky movies

[@AwareWolfOnWheels]

If Mike and Jay do a Chucky movie and show marathon, they have to force Rich Evans to watch them all too!

[@seosamhrosmuc]

The de-aging tech they used on Rich is amazing

[@bachethegame]

I saw Alien 45th anniversary and it was the most filled theater I've been to in years, and it was a great time, shocked to see so many zoomers in there loving the movie.

[@Tobinator127]

It's always nice to have a video from my good friends Mike and Jay (and Rich, who I'm not as close friends with)
