[@HM-yk7fg]

For the next In Review, can y’all do the Rocky-Creed series?

[@TheLaw87]

About time there was some damn culture in these reviews lol. I'm all for this!

[@KalebKoho]

I NEED this in my life

[@austinkeller7171]

An excellent pivot if they went this direction

[@GustavoZ86]

Funny that you mention this. During this quarantine I had my gf watch 1-4 and creed 1 and 2 for her first time. God what a great series

[@hueyyang10]

And we can get Nick's abs ranking each movie :)

[@pargatsinghlives]

I didn't look at Tim until 2:00 in and I wasn't sure if Kevin had mapped some hilarious blonde hairhat as an overlay onto him. Is it a wig...? I don't know

[@madrocts]

Wigging out with Scarpino

[@watermelonslipstream5467]

Actually get a lil giddy when I see a new in review episode pop up on my home menu

[@MrEnyaws07]

Tim's looking ferocious with the hair, I love it

[@GingerBeeff]

And quite blonde

[@darrickbeitinger7664]

They brought up Edgar Wright, and now I’m just thinking “Edgar Wright in Review” when? 😂

[@vinnybastos]

@Ewan Callister I'm still unclear on the Ansel one...

[@YourGFsFavoriteBF]

vinícius bastos A girl came out on twitter and claimed her and Ansel (Ancel?) dated and during their relationship he allegedly forced her to have sex with him. I still love Baby Driver though. Art is art.

[@mikekasabion]

Nah, we just need a Three Flavours Cornetto review. No Baby Driver, please.

[@aarons.2323]

Oh man, if they do that I hope Greg's a part of that because I would love to hear his Scott Pilgrim recap.

[@alexlawrence6440]

For the combo of shows the first 23 minutes this is already one of my favorite shows of quarantine

[@Orson_Welp]

I can tell you which audience the Khan reveal serves: The middle ground fans: People who didn't actually watch Star Trek, but knew that Khan was a big deal from cultural osmosis. Because that was me, and I thought both the character & reveal were SO cool in 2013.

[@CrossOutBryce]

Same lol. It actually somehow got me interested in Khan and more of the older lore.

[@blakekillganon846]

Idk, I loved the originals AND loved this movie.

[@ANTIStraussian]

But there was no space seed in this time-line. They don't know who he is....

[@joshuabarnett88]

Beyond actually is the most Star Trek of the new movies. I love all 3 but Beyond is the one that most feels like an episode of the show. It's fantastic. Can we get an in review of Discovery season 3?

[@connermcmillin807]

The way Greg says Uhura sounds like the worlds worst William Shatner impression.

[@reflectionist]

This movie had two Batman voice actors in it. Boom. Bruce Greenwood - Admiral Pike - voiced Batman in Under The Red Hood. Peter Weller - Admiral Marcus - voiced Batman in The Dark Knight Returns I and II.

[@Dannyjedge]

God damn that theme is amazing

[@chrisp6967]

Kevin's gonna have a bad damn not snacking during these when they are back in studio lol

[@JeffreyGrubb]

You could've been talking about Wrath of Khan, so you have no one to blame but yourselves.

[@YourGFsFavoriteBF]

17:13 Greg is Superman, Superman is Clark Kent, Greg IS Clark Kent!

[@phammo]

Fingers crossed for TMNT in review...

[@randalladkins7452]

47:46 - And Carol Marcus is here because she is the mother of David, Kirk’s son as seen and revealed in the original Wrath of Khan!

[@pacificridge1122]

caught a glimpse of the big beautiful king at 20:42. rip portillo

[@andyandhisfriends101]

Ok did anyone else not know Nolan North was in this? Like Greg saying it is the first time ever. Didn't even notice him when watching it 😂

[@yitoji]

I love Tim's hair like this

[@dernacho83]

Extra trivia: Bill Hader was the voice of the bad guy ship

[@pizzajacob5564]

For stuff like Star Trek and James Bond, are you planning on eventually getting to the older movies in the series?

[@TheOlympicHero1]

I love the Kelvin verse movies. Into Darkness is one of my favorite movies of all time.

[@chrisp6967]

A day early?! Let's go!

[@warensemblem8594]

Loved the impromptu FujiFilm Webcam ad

[@alangaytan3910]

I want to see the movie Greg saw haha

[@JamesErath]

Hey KF, could you do the rest of the Star Trek movies?

[@Nowavailablepod]

Tims shot is freaking fire btw

[@nelsonhamilton8262]

How did Kahn change race if the timeline split happened after he was frozen? Cumberbatch should’ve just played a new character but JJ Abrams gonna JJ Abrams. But seriously even back then I was taken a back by the white-washing lol.

[@mistergianpaulo]

Bro i full thought it was lil dicky before i realized it was tim without hair product

[@lobolink2772]

I love Tim's puns.

[@xanderreimers4445]

The longest reviews are the best

[@gp63]

Any chance of you guys going the older Trek movies? That's another 10 episodes for you right there.

[@s4mb1rd]

I like seeing Nick kinda take charge on this one. It’s cool seeing a franchise that he likes and knows more about compared to the rest of the group. Glad KF has a Trekkie or two (I see you Kevin).

[@SunstreakerTitan]

Come on dare you to do the first 10 star trek movies.

[@imrankazzy9076]

Legit hope this happens

[@LoganFerguson]

Wont happen. Tim is too much of a puss. So get ready for Hunger Games in Review and Twilight in Review.

[@monkeytiger2142]

Greg is on his Batman V Superman energy for this one folks let’s go

[@tjrage6168]

I sort of prefer nick doing reviews. I love that Greg is having fun. Nick has more detail with comedic timing and doesn’t gloss over stuff as much. I still love this though.

[@AnthonyJonesGeek]

Paul Verhoeven in review: RoboCop, Total Recall, Starship Troopers

[@pinoyguy75]

I didn't realize that the bad guy was also Yin in Psych

[@GeneFJacket]

Here's the problem with Into Darkness...The Wrath of Khan worked because it was an extension of Trek TOS, and it had the benefit of bringing back a beloved character all Trek fans knew. It doesn't work, at all, in Into Darkness because there is zero history between Kirk and the Enterprise crew and nu-Khan. He could have been literally anyone and it wouldn't have made any difference whatsoever. The big "revelation" that Harrison is really Khan doesn't matter in the least, because who the fuck is Khan in the Kelvin universe? That's even ignoring all the other structural and tonal issues, not to mention the complete dumpster fire of a script that needed a dozen more revisions. The first one skated by on the strength of the cast chemistry, but the plot was incidental because it was more about setting up the new versions of the characters. Into Darkness doesn't get that benefit because the characters are established, but it does nothing with them, and pisses away all good will the first one built. Fortunately, Beyond is goddamn phenomenal and the best of the Kelvin films...but no one saw it because Into Darkness was such a wreck.

[@gp63]

100% of this. Plus the revelation of Kirk's son and the whole subplot of aging and mortality. Wrath of Khan has some weighty themes behind them that felt relatable and well-earned. Into Darkness would have been alot better just playing it straight instead of being a cheap knock-off.

[@loonar7960]

I didn't enjoy Beyond nearly as much as the first two movies. But I also never really liked Star Trek before JJ's movies

[@HappyPantz]

What happened to Tim's hair?!

[@jonnytullet6477]

I really enjoyed his film. Laughed a lot and enjoyed the action. The scene when Kahn wipes out multiple squads of Klingons was sooo badass.

[@_jeromethegreat5119]

Tim's hair is fucking dope

[@thedefinitionisthis]

Can't wait for y'all take on "Star Trek Beyond".... Personally, it is my favorite of the Kelvin Timeline, but to each their own! Side-Note: Suggestions for future retrospective "Reviewed & Ranked" movies.... Today, Joel Schumacher sadly passed away. Maybe a look back at the four "Batman" movies from 1989 to 1997 (unless it's something y'all have done... I'm somewhat new to the channel)? I know "Forever" gets a bad rap along with "Batman & Robin", but watching it again, it's not as horrible as people make it out to be.... for me, anyway. Anyway, just a thought! Cheers, fellas!

[@tjrage6168]

There needs to be a wiggin out ep for Tim

[@jacksonburris5179]

Y'all better do first contact (the best one that isn't wrath of Khan)

[@bradfletcher4856]

Peter Weller as Batman was awesome too

[@preacherduderox]

The Khan moment didn’t rub me the wrong way this time around! I get that it wasn’t set up within the universe just yet that the name was something/someone important, but if anything, I can excuse how dramatic that delivery was as Khan simply affirming that he indeed had lied about his identity and he’s actually very passionate about whatever he’s trying to do.

[@_EVANERV_]

Cold fusion means you can achieve fusion around the temperature of a few million degrees instead of over a hundred million degrees. So no, cold fusion is still hot as fuck and doesn't freeze things.

[@rccharger21]

I hope they do predator in review next

[@hollowludens5861]

I loved this one so much. Can you guys do a Christopher Nolan in review series in time for TENET?

[@macmccormick5983]

Thanks for giving us some Khantext.

[@GingerBeeff]

People need two names, just like Khannor Dowell.

[@samwhalen5488]

Can we get Mixer in review

[@Icepick614]

I never have and still don't know where all the hate for this movie has come from I've always really enjoyed it and will continue to. Can't wait for part 3

[@KalebKoho]

1:20:32

[@DangerousDac]

TIM. NO. That is so NOT better than the opening scene from 2009. Like, it's insane how its nothing even CLOSE to the emotions of that first movie. Insanity.

[@tristanbenns2049]

What a dope intro

[@ryanladwig5273]

Austin Powers in reivew please =)

[@Thomas-VA]

You win Greg, you're still here and Mixer well won't be, and you have more money then Microsoft and you've won.

[@CrossOutBryce]

This movie wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Not as great as the first, but I had a good time with it. I get why bigger trek fans didnt like it though!

[@talaveraleonardo]

Little Nemo(y) holy fuck I hate/love/hate it

[@lotsaloveful]

I want whatever these guys are smoking,,lmao

[@preyingocelotgames4397]

Tim is hairy! LIKE ANIMAL! 😜

[@pargatsinghlives]

this movie was very underrated (at least by those I knew) when it came out. It might be my favorite which is crazy considering how dope the first one is. also Greg's background looks like a virtual background

[@khorne41]

Beyond is smart but also goofy. That is Star Trek. lets not forget Star Trek gave us an evil tar puddle and Abe Lincoln in space

[@dwaynem624]

Glad I'm not the only one that is very meh about this movie.

[@blakekillganon846]

I love you guys so much. But it is so frustrating everytime you guys do these reviews and say "they didn't explain this" and even I, who haven't seen the movie in YEARS, remember that they absolutely explained the thing. It's like you have the shortest attention spans and can't follow dialog.

[@LoganFerguson]

JJ Abrams must have the motherlode of dirt and blackmail on all of Hollywood. He is without a doubt the greatest conman in Hollywood history.

[@ThePonderer]

This movie is a mess, and it’s whole problem is encapsulated in the Khan reveal. JJ Abrams is all about fanservice as opposed to storytelling. He needs better screenwriters than Orci and Kurtzman to make a compelling narrative.

[@duckypresents]

This 100%

[@TheHan464646]

So... no ones gonna talk about the sexy scene of Carol marcus in her undies? She looked really fit and tone and i love it

[@DangerousDac]

"My name is....Khan." "Um, ok? And you are?" - should have been the response. There's literally no point to that twist for the characters in that movie. Nor, for an audience who doesn't know who Khan is, which, considering this whole JJ Trek was supposed to appeal to a new audience, WAS THE INTENDED AUDIENCE. Instead, it exists only to piss off fans who know about The Wrath of Khan, exemplified by that godawful ripoff ending in engineering.

[@loonar7960]

Easily the best movie in the trilogy.

[@DerekToningoogle]

There's been some pretty mediocre Star Trek movies over the years, and none of them disapointed and frustrated me as much as the third act of this film. I love Wrath of Khan, and I felt like this just shit all over it. My wife found the movie delightful though, so... I guess I'm just a huge nerd.

[@flygonink]

Eey

[@bhargavpatel2995]

The first one is the better movie but Into Darkness is my favorite

[@jordankent6356]

Clary Carrier it’s simple really. He watches the movie, has fun while watching it and therefore, likes the movie. But because he likes it and you don’t, fuck him am I right?

[@zap9124]

Jason Bourne in Review!!!!!!!!!

[@LoganFerguson]

Warp is not some pocket dimension. You dont get knocked out of a warp tunnel. You just drastically slow down. This movie, like anything made by JJ Conman Abrams, is GARBAAAAAAAGE.

[@stevenkaye1625]

Pretty sure that when a ship enters warp, it's contained in a subspace bubble, hence why the normal laws of the universe don't apply to make it possible. Actually theoretically possible, as with most of the science in Trek!

[@LoganFerguson]

@@stevenkaye1625 the bubble is a protective layer that protects the ship. So by your logic... the ship should have been torn asunder.

[@stevenkaye1625]

Logan Ferguson well, I agree lol, but such are the Abrams movies...

[@justsomeone8310]

If this wasn't called Star Trek I dont think anyone would remember it. Idk to me it was not even a decent movie but like Nick said you cant think to much about it and if its Star Trek I just cant do that.

[@KalebKoho]

1. Star Trek (2009) 2. The Wrath of Khan 3. Into Darkness 4. Beyond 5. First Contact 6. The Search for Spock 7. The Undiscovered Country 8. The Voyage Home 9. Nemesis 10. The Final Frontier 11. Generations 12. Insurrection 13. The Motion Picture

[@stevenkaye1625]

You're doing First Contact a disservice there, Sir. That movie is amazing! lol. Also Insurrection is so underrated. It's a movie that feels like a classic TNG episode.

[@Gunslinger199]

First?

[@CharzBoi]

😐

[@loudoesreviews]

This movie blows on several levels. JJ continues his - cool without context - style of shooting. The Enterprise underwater is dumb and makes no sense. The biggest beef with this movie is the ability to use a transporter to travel light years. If one can transport that far then there is no longer any need for starships. Terrible story telling too - magic tribble blood, a Khan reveal with a Caucasian British actor - seriously?!!??!

[@garyg1818]

A northern Indian Warrior played by the whitest guy ever lol. Couldn't even get a Indian, or a Mexican like the original, or any Brown actor. Smh

[@Matt88g]

Is Greg laughing at all the people at mixer who just lost there jobs durning a pandemic.

[@PezQ84]

No.
