It's funny, because at the end of the day, they're both pretty normal guys who just love video games and movies.

[@suicidesquid3581]

He made one.

[@XXteZZyy]

He had a good set up for a Star Wars trilogy with a decent Star Wars movie but the set up went no where with the following movies.

[@travisiswin]

TFA was better than the prequels. The fandom backed him and Disney into a corner after TLJ because they're a bunch of spoiled, neckbearded brats that don't like / can't handle change.

[@tommync2010]

you know I have a lot of respect for the Angry Video Game Nerd and he has made a lot of videos over the years and I still have a lot of respect for him but I am now just learning about JonTron he's a very interesting person I'd like to meet them both honestly and I have a lot of respect for a lot of KZbinrs and I have to say this is an awesome collaborating video

[@johnnyjackson3781]

TommyNC2010 gods of youtube tbh

[@aretaros]

TommyNC2010 Agreed. They're both very interesting people, and I'd love to be able to discuss all these geeky things with them.

[@llikem8085]

Honestly im honest as honest could be so im just gonna say this honestly your fucking honestly cool.

[@mayormccheese2641]

TommyNC2010 Didn't expect to see you in these comments, Tommy! I really appreciate your manners and kind nature towards them.

[@raindogthecat3490]

creepy

[@alexritter8904]

Peanut butter gamer, danger dolan and John tron all commented on a AVGN video. It's like the meeting of the B-list KZbin celebrities in the comments section!

[@Juanirva]

Alex Ritter What would be the A list?

[@Juanirva]

This guys are way better, work harder on what they do.

[@Juanirva]

Alex Ritter I thought you were talking about Vsauce or something like that,

[@InternetUsername]

+Alex Ritter Who's John?

[@InternetUsername]

The .Reaper Oh yeah, I deleted it (like 30 seconds after I wrote it) because I thought it was redundant along with an upvote. Also, I was agreeing with you. I said seriously because I agreed with you. Calm down. You seem to be one of the ones here acting salty. Again, is everyone here fucking 14 years old?

[@AntOfBobby]

JonTron: *Being a normal human* Everyone: Wait, that's illegal.

[@SP-qo3pd]

Jontron is one of the most talented KZbin creators. I'm glad he got together with James for this. It would be awesome if they work together more.

[@retrogameraaron4778]

I think Episode II: Attack of the Clones is the worst of the prequels.

[@cjinl2428]

RetroGamerAaron Agreed. I actually thought Episode 3 was *almost* decent. Attack of the Clones was a travesty, and Episode I was equally terrible but had the Darth Maul fight at the end.

[@Youtubeaccount369]

if you didn't like the speeder race in episode 1 something is wrong with you... that was fun to watch. Episode 2 is by far the worst of the three. 1 was enjoyable and 3 was okay, too.

[@joeknows3882]

RetroGamerAaron Im with you on that i liked em not that much but Episode II sucked

[@solaris6428]

***** dude 3 is one of the best!

[@joeknows3882]

Yeah 3 was the best one

[@jdroo]

Can't have Ghostbusters without Egon.

[@rykergunns7877]

I suppose they could catch him

[@MrsKwan-fz6mf]

DragonGod Slayer Good one.

[@ridethelapras]

I know what he means, Venkman is the most popular and enduring character, but without Egon, none of the technology, or even what made the Ghostbusters *possible* would exist.

[@fueraflareon4395]

They are in the new ghostbustets movie

[@ridethelapras]

The actors might be, but they do not play as their original characters. (And it's the characters, not the actors, that we're talking about)

[@Padthrower]

Jon Safari and James Rolfes. How can get it even better than this?

[@clorotch3259]

Crisdean Mackinnon he said better, not worse.

[@iamerror6546]

his name is jon safari?

[@iamerror6546]

Jon Jafari

[@Panzer_Runner]

The crossover we never asked, but the crossover we need

[@jonopens]

The "it was cans" line is literally the best part. You earned my like by meeting my expectations perfectly, James.

[@OtherworldJudge89]

+Jonathan R. J. Openshaw I know right I lost it

[@Rytoc12]

"Can I touch it?" -JonTron, 2015

[@Daniel-kx3zz]

ToEch

[@robynkrest8178]

I been wanting to ask James if i can touch it since 2006

[@Paopin]

"People don't know what they want, i'll tell them" Yeah, that worked well for Diablo 3

[@goombajenkins4317]

Aren't you grateful?

[@renewings]

"They killed Darth Maul in Episode 1." Well yes, but actually no.

[@DTheCritical]

That was retconned long after the movie (rather stupidly all things considered....)

[@greendeli7874]

I think Mail deserved more development as a character.

[@TheInfestedPest]

I just love the way these two play off of each other. "D-List" celebrities and gods among men to the nerds in us all.

[@aMAXproduction]

I feel the same way about Phantom Menace with Jon. Some people just blow it out of proportion.

[@aMAXproduction]

Tampa Trey Honestly, Jar Jar is not that bad. He was funny at times.

[@Mysticfateee]

+Max Moser (aMAXproduction) i dont even know why people hate phantom menace lol i remember watching it when i was younger with my dad and when jar jar gets his tongue caught on that laser thing and starts talking all funny me and my dad laughed ourselves to tears

[@thelegendofsupernerdsupers9475]

I think all the prequels are pretty good

[@delorousfeodoras5005]

+Max Moser (aMAXproduction) dude, is that an ice climber on your profile pic?!

[@aMAXproduction]

Delorous Feodoras Yep, only it's modified to look like me.

[@iamfirelord2576]

I want more of this. I love seeing these guys just talk and have conversations about stuff they are passionate about.

[@boryavasili]

Glad this popped up in my recommended videos again, I loved getting to watch these two just geek out about something they both have a huge passion for, it's so obvious they're both big fans of cinema.

[@janmoors1743]

I love the way they react to each other

[@Artofficial1986]

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything’s soft... and smooth...

[@EhlistarsWrath]

*you are now leaving the land of the living* I will never see Disneyland the same again

[@ChSjRi]

14:44 "That didn't age quite so well!"

[@snakes3425]

After that Ghostbusters trailer all I can say about the Star Wars Prequels is this: George Lucas all is forgiven

[@LinkEX]

+snakes3425 Even Jar Jar Binks?

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

No,he shall never be forgiven for the prequels.

[@Tonypikmin]

+Metalman200xdamnit Still better than A New Hope: PC Version.

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

Tonyair Just what we don't need,a politically correct Star Wars.

[@KyleAnvilSlinger]

+Metalman200xdamnit Episode 7 is pc star wars, they just remade A New Hope.

[@djraptorx]

I could watch Jon and James talk about Star Wars all day

[@DanteTaylor]

This was such a pleaseant conversation, I'm so relaxed thanks to you guys, it was like talking to a nice friend. You took out the anxiety I was having right now, thank you so much!

[@meehanbindra]

rewatching this makes me so happy, some wholesome content right here.

[@vjpearce]

I'd love to see James' VHS collections. Takes me back to my old local VHS store where some genius who ran the place thought putting the 'Horror' section right opposite the 'Kid' section was a good move. It was not. The box cover to Hellraiser still gives the creeps.

[@SatoshiKong]

I was always drawn TOWARD the the horror/action movie sections as a kid, lol. I'd wait til my mom wasn't around and wander over to check out the back covers in hopes of catching a glimpse of some gory screenshots. Never got to watch any of them until much later, though.

[@georgenelson9211]

I would KILL to meet James and Mike and go to that basement

[@RoseHowat]

George Nelson Just break in and steel everything

[@georgenelson9211]

I'll split it all with you JA HO

[@clorotch3259]

I'd go in James and Mike's basement huehuehue

[@Lukibear-dt5gj]

Every once in a while I come back to this video, because I find nothing more or less, that a bunch of passionate pals coming together to talk about what they love. That is the true power of the cinematic experience. Props to James for striving to keep the memories of the Blockbusters and Video stores alive.

[@stevenlefevre5135]

Watched your vids since 2004 shortly after joining the Navy. Glad to finally subscribe, keep up the good work James and Mike!
