I think Jim Carrey played "pre eggman" Robotnick fairly accurately. You don't get serious evil Eggman until he comes back, that's why he looks more like "Eggman" from the games at the end of the movie. So basically I think they're setting up character development

[@bensavedbychrist]

This isn't recorded inside of a car! How dare you!

[@-A-c]

Hmmm...maybe they should make that a 100k sub goal.

[@Whatnoww]

Riley talking about Sonic being as if it were purely nostalgia is pretty hilarious looking at it from the opposite side as a Sonic fan.

[@krenotenze]

Right? So many recent games lol

[@DrTomWelsh]

Is there a fund set up to pay Riley to stop bringing up Star Wars in every episode?

[@siopao_81]

hes got a george lucas funded debt card

[@coryandrum]

That's the only reason I watch

[@zaidendeandre5682]

i know it's kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?

[@kylerstanley1755]

@Zaiden Deandre lately I have been using FlixZone. Just google for it :)

[@98.11Deet]

"Did your parents just buy you like... wooden toys??" I lol'd at that.

[@NASTYcraftX]

Dammit I thought they recorded these while driving to work.

[@LNRMusicCuration]

Same

[@Pakanahymni]

If memory serves, they used to carpool to work together and they talked about movies all the time, and now that they're not carpooling anymore they wanted to continue talking about movies and made a podcast out of it.

[@folken09]

I agree fully with James at the begining with the scroring

[@tinyguy9398]

The owl is from the Sonic the Hedgehog 1990's anime movie.

[@crimsonking905]

Do kinda wish they'd taken the comics as a base for the movie.

[@SEMIA123]

Poor Riley's brain is too big for this film

[@SpeedingWheelbarrow]

Interestingly I like Riley have never played sonic and have no nostalgia for him but I loved this movie it was just a good fun time.

[@marcus_w0]

36:44 - I strongly object! I'm from germany and here it was robotnic all the way.

[@whatashame97]

I didnt know that this channel even existed, wtf

[@zelexen]

i think its a decent 7/10 for nostalgics 8/10 for kids and 6/10 for realists

[@reaperpunkxter]

It's not to earth, he went to a few planets before going to earth

[@thekraken8him]

James put it best. Sonic succeeds at what it sets out to do. It's a fun, lighthearted kids movie with a good message. You three are clearly not the intended audience, and 90% of your criticisms stem from forgetting that perspective.

[@nyatella]

that's a cool mug 👍

[@nicks4083]

Lolol, I’m just watching this now. I wonder if they’ve seen the new trailer for the sequel. They called it! You guys think you’ll watch that one too?

[@winnieid2727]

Well the first world sonic escape is not earth... correction there

[@Monsux]

Well... I was actually happy after watching this movie.

[@not_caltech7355]

Nice

[@kommanderoffice5392]

Sonic X waa nice from a kid's perspective. Sadly I can't enjoy it anymore as an adult.

[@chanceneck8072]

Surprisingly good video game movie.

[@JoaoPedroTiago]

nice

[@lperkins2]

Wait, you're referencing the *Critic* score on rotten tomatoes? Who *does* that?

[@crislop-fw1mj]

Hi james

[@SteveDaBartender]

Hi james

[@jlebrech]

review angry birds movie

[@TaagR]

I was enjoying your real opinions in the first episodes, now you are editing out any cursing it feels way less genuine.

[@krenotenze]

I feel like Sonic is the best video game based movie ever made, for being a good movie. Mortal Kombat is the best video game based movie ever made, for being a bad movie.

[@lollerich]

Stop interrupting David!

[@wileycsg]

critical comment...limit movie reviews to 20 - 30 mins each...it gets boring after that...just tighten up the script/format a little...then you can do two movies per episode... no offence intended

[@fightingmedialounge519]

I don't think they really care.

[@hamidershad]

Could not finish this episode. All Riley’s arguments are so stupid. And he is so negative.

[@siopao_81]

The MARIO Movie WAS THE WORST MOVIE & THE WORST VIDEOGAME MOVIE EVER

[@StefanBacon]

Nicholas Cage belonged in this movie instead of Carey

[@ColdIronGaming]

Carpool Critics is making me lose respect for Riley and this makes me sad... James is looking better and better though. I guess David also exists still.

[@CarlosIvanFocus]

1 hour of review? I'm going to just watch the movie...

[@Sevendogtags]

I wish you guys didn't add ads to this. I thought this wasn't supposed to be business. I thought it was just about getting together and talking about movies and having fun. Now it's a job, kinda disappointed tbh.

[@James-fm4lk]

Entirely missed the point with your scores. You're not the demographic this film is aimed at...

[@jonahplayscello]

Bad content

[@raggedyexynos9487]

why is that?
