I would like to thank you guys for doing this! I’m pretty sure it was me that mentioned it to you. It’s such a cliched self yanking for Flatley. It’s only fitting the only “actor” that showed up was Eric Roberts. It’s time to acknowledge Roberts needs to be given a place in the pantheon of Good Bad Or Bad Bad.

[@_Ty__]

That "20 year old laptop" is actually a Panasonic Toughbook. Those are the ones you see in damn near every single police car. I'm sure there's cheaper ones available, but new ones can go upwards of $4k depending on how they're spec'd.

[@cynaptyc]

That damn "doink" noise cracks me up, no matter the placement, but yours were perfect! 😂😂😂

[@brett66]

Yeah, the editing was top notch on this episode.

[@marcuswalters8093]

29:44 Honestly.

[@richardadesmond]

The mansion at the start of the film is Michael’s real home. I believe he lives here in Ireland most of the time. Thanks for doing this one. I remember watching the first riverdance show during intermission on the Eurovision back in ‘95, it overshadowed the whole show, people were blown away.

[@believer773]

The best entertainers are triple threats... Acting, singing and dancing. Michael Flatley can dance, threat neutralized.

[@ethelwulfmountbattenderoth2286]

C'mon guys, being the, "Best," is a necessity in a Vanity Project. They have to pull him out of retirement or hire him away from somebody else because of the special circumstances that only he can handle. He's irresistible to all Women. He's also an expert of something else that is somehow vital to the story. Dancer, Musician, Singer, Tennis Player, Swimmer, Card player, Wine aficionado, chef.

[@scoutz0rs]

Blackbird is also the name of a traditional set dance in Irish dance lol the ego on this Chicago man (with an Irish accent) knows no bounds!!!!!!!! (Also both leads of the original Riverdance are American, but Jean Butler is normal.) Also!!!! Michael Flatley started a freestyle competition award at the (Irish dance) World Championships and the trophy is in the SHAPE OF HIM

[@IUsedToBeAnAdventurerLikeYou]

Jean Butler apparently isn’t a fan of his, either.

[@scoutz0rs]

@@IUsedToBeAnAdventurerLikeYouNo, she definitely wasn’t lol he was difficult to work with.

[@Bismuth83X]

All I know about Riverdance is that it inspired a scene in Final Fantasy IX in which a group of anthropomorphic rat women (among them the party's dragoon Freya Crescent, my favorite Final Fantasy character of all time) perform a magical riverdance to power a magical sandstorm that protects a city built into a tree. It's so stupid and I love it.

[@adamcboyd]

I was training for the backline of Riverdance. Moved states for the audition. I never went and played punk music instead for a decade.

[@theresasilvia8407]

Flatley was a Chicago Golden Gloves Boxing Champion so of course his fist fight against a hulking behemoth would end in 12 seconds...Fatality

[@eduardopena5893]

[@RyllenKriel]

This movie climax needed a dance-off.

[@christjonpatterson]

How is this channel not bigger by now? O well, we all know it’s gold up in here.

[@batoutofmel4959]

It's mental! And yet other, lesser channels are growing like crazy.

[@EarthboundX]

I've always felt it's because they only upload twice a month. It's most definitely not a quality issue.

[@ajrollo1437]

Too sexual for thé général public.

Just realized I got my GBorBB shirt over 4 years ago, and sub count is only around 150% more, since then.

[@royjohnson3361]

No cats

[@maxwassermann3171]

Great episode! Also it must have taken a lot of restraint to not constantly use the "He must have been a dancer" line.

[@eduardopena5893]

"There's no one like him. He's irreplaceable. No one can do what he does." Yeah, you mean look sort of like older "Not Rutger Hauer" in certain shots and angles?

[@ethelwulfmountbattenderoth2286]

One more thing Master Thespian, Eric Roberts is the hardest working Man in show business. As of right now* 8:04 a.m. 6/4/24 Roberts is at 738 IMDB credits....with 83 in Production! What's amazing is that the overwhelming majority of his creidts are actual roles and not just a bunch of voice work. When posting the number of his IMDB credits, you have to be exact with time, because they can go up and down several times a day. Other than Porn and voice over, I can't think of any other actor that is at that level of Movie/TV/Short appearances. Nicolas Cage? Not even close. James Hong? Truly impressive, but again Roberts is way ahead. Robert's numbers are amazing. No, I am not Eric Roberts.

[@mikeoxlong1395]

Why are you capitalizing "man" and "woman"?

[@novakrabby]

Bryan looks like captain america in that 5 year gap between Infinity War and Endgame which there wasnt much to do except catch up with his movie list

[@brett66]

"Haiever... It's gonna kill everybody" "What's your point, Nick?" That was my first actual spit take in a really long time.

[@GL4SS_20]

lol that lab top is actually a “Toughbook” … they are used in cop cars and also used by photographers. I used them when shooting on a corded camera setup 😂

[@DOSdaze]

51:44 I appreciate the fact you never miss an opportunity for the Two Guns gag... something so simple yet tickles me in the right place each time, and I don't know why :)

[@IUsedToBeAnAdventurerLikeYou]

I never thought I’d see the day that the Lord of the Dance himself would make an action movie lol. But then again, he IS known for having a raging ego. If vanity project was a person, he’s definitely a prime candidate.

[@dizalawn]

All I can focus on is the Labyrinth shirt 😍

[@matthewcrome]

Me too LOL

[@vercoda9997]

At least Get Even has a hilariously entertaining (and often visibly drunk) sidekick character who's magnetically watchable. This ego wank vanity project has no such charm.

[@bloodrunsclear]

'You want a BULLET? A little CLASS?' O_O

[@Car1a]

I'd enjoy seeing Wings Hauser attempt his own version of the Riverdance

[@danieltobin4498]

It’s not Get Even, it’s Geteven.

[@dc9662]

Wings Hauser makes that movie. He's so much more memorable than that other guy.

[@quinnzykir]

I call it Geddeven

[@The_Kentuckian]

Another point in the "Michael Flatley likes Sinatra" count, his club is called the Blue Moon.

[@markmathisen3908]

Michael Flatley strikes me as the sort that insists on people addressing him as "Dancelord", just like the maestro in Seinfeld. 😂

[@matthewcrome]

Or like GotG w/"Starlord", except he actually was a Starlord

[@kenknight5983]

Are there any scenes where he has a black tank top on? It usually happens in the triple-threat of written, starring, directed by....

[@gussiejives]

Eric Roberts did this for a trip to Barbados, didn’t he?

[@Asianpersuasion3]

No joke, I just saw him at a film festival in April (Ebertfest in Illinois), and during the Q&A I asked him about one of his random no-budget movies. He was not only good-humored about it, but openly admitted that he did tons of random movies so he could travel around the world with his wife.

[@danthefan28]

@@Asianpersuasion3 That's honestly more adorable than I thought his answer would be.

[@DreFromMaine8472]

I am a huge fan of the original Riverdance soundtrack that came out back in 1995. I've always liked that kind of music. But once Michael Flatley took over and declared himself the "Lord Of The Dance", that was pretty much it for me. I remember how Denis Leary had a whole bit on his 1997 album mocking and ridiculing Flatley and I loved it. As for this movie, it’s nothing more than a vanity project done by a washed-up has-been, thanks for reviewing it!

[@seaoftranquility7228]

If you’re trying to be inconspicuous by disguising yourself as a nun, transferring a coin to another person via a French kiss is absolutely the second worst thing you could do. I’ll leave it to your imagination what the worst way would be.

[@mikeoxlong1395]

Shoving it up your urethra and having intercourse to "subtly" transfer it into her crevice ?

[@bathbadgerking]

I saw this in the theatre with my buddy, and we were the only ones there!

[@vercoda9997]

My deep sympathy for your loss of time and ticket prices that you'll never get back.

[@bathbadgerking]

@@vercoda9997 are you kidding? we LOVED it

[@ThatMocapGuy]

ALMOST 200 episodes!! BOYS!!!!! yeah congratz!!

[@Geospasmic]

Riverdance was completely my shit in the nineties. I loved it to death. I need to watch it again. Lord of the Dance was a vanity project and came off like it. And now I learn Michael Flatley is American??

[@adamrmoss]

I can’t believe Michael Flatley isn’t Irish!

[@gracekim25]

Um well he’s Irish American given his parents are Irish 😅

[@markiangooley]

@@gracekim25I’m sort of glad that my parents were from very different parts of Eastern Europe. Sort of. Definitely I’m American.

The laptop in question is a Panasonic Toughbook. A very rugged laptop for specialist applications.

Finally! I was waiting for you guys to review this "movie". 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@goodlookingcorpse]

In films, being good at poker means you get highly improbable good hands.

Yeah, weird how they never get two pair

[@vercoda9997]

Also, the excruciating Oirish accents here... Jesus. How did they prep for their roles? Looking at a map to see where Ireland is?!

[@OfficialOpinion]

Am I dumb or has Bryan always had that tattoo on the wrist?

Kwan when the other guys come onto the boat: "I-I'm not that guy. Kwan's not even my real name."

I'm surprised it took them until 22:57 to bring up "He must have been a dancer".

[@6ViolinRed]

Villains in the Roger Moore Bond films, specifically The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, want to destroy humanity and start over with a master race either under the sea or in outer space.

[@user-zh4vo1kw1z]

That Pierce Brosnan clip messes with my head. I had him stored away as a... Seasoned gentleman, like other former Bonds. And he is! But simultaneously in that clip hee looked like a sweet old fellow. Somehow that overlap causes some cognitive dissonance

[@No_Use_For_A_Name1981]

Where can i find this movie?? It looks impossible to locate!

[@flashfoxful]

It's on Amazon to rent or buy, but it probably depends on what country you're in.

[@briancoulombe4517]

I know he’s in his 60s now, but I was hoping he would dance in this movie. And I don’t mean a slow dance.

[@bloodrunsclear]

'Movie does not contain a riverdance' +1 Sin

[@ardas77]

Akshually you can buy those laptops new, but yeah, in general they look exactly the same as 20 years ago as they were made to be tough.

[@Dshizzle78]

Did anyone else see the KZbin commercial during this episode, for “Lumina”?? It’s a movie starring Eric Roberts and a bunch of unknown actors, and it claims to be going to theatres July 12th 😂😂. An Eric Roberts movie in theatre? Riiiight

[@brett66]

Heh, good find. Sooo, it's a slightly classier Seagal movie? Also, I think Eric Roberts might be Cameron Mitchell's spiritual successor.

[@brett66]

And how is being clearly drunk on set (#EricRoberts) not SOME kind of OSHA violation? Does filmmaking not have the same workplace standards as an Arby's?

[@debsreno911]

How do you guys only have 26k subs??? 😮

[@PradeepPurple]

Speaking of hats, you missed a scene where, in the middle of a walk and talk, Flatley exchanges one hat for another....like somebody walked up to him and gave him his jonty Sinatra hat and he gave her what he was wearing!

[@rolandking640]

Love that Labyrinth shirt! If she ever kisses you, I'll turn you in to a prince. Prince of the Land of Stench!

[@eduardopena5893]

Guy from Dancing It's On, "Wow, he must've been a dancer!"

[@BlackThoughtTheOverLord]

Saw Film Brain do a film review (which btw was absolutely hilarious) of this when it came it here in the U.K. So knowing that Brian and Kyle were going to do their breakdown/critique of this film I couldn't wait to see this. Love this channel.

[@lucymoreno88ss]

does anyone else skip the little preview thing before hand because it ruins that part of the video later?

[@BibbityBop]

No

[@andrewlivingston1590]

Yes. But in my case it’s more like: why bother watching it twice?

[@sebastianbutlerii6558]

3:00 that explains that da Vinci notebook lyric (another irish drinking song- "Me only wish is when the Saviour comes for me and you He kills the cast of Riverdance and Michael Flatley too") and why Irish people hate him. Thanks guys. I can finally stop looking for the reason.

[@brett66]

Well... Michael Flatley does exposition about as well as Christopher Nolan.

[@OlNeb-k2b]

If I was ever making a movie Erik Robert’s is in. I don’t know what others think of him he man but me, a nobody, thinks he’s an amazing actor. He can play anything, absolutely anything. He acts with Mr. Lord of the Dance here and is flawless.

[@Porkchop_Delight]

Great vid. You guys should do "The Never-ending Story" next. It's this 80s movie that's right up your alley. Check it out.

[@phantomdragon3893]

Is this pre recorded

[@naomithornhill2079]

Guys, please, I am begging you to review this movie called MatchStick Flame. It's another vanity project with beautiful acting. It has Mel Novak, and it had a prequel and sequel

[@eduardopena5893]

So you're saying....Flatley turned a hat trick?

[@andrewlivingston1590]

7:57 Those shots are slightly off-center. Rule of 180 or whatever the term here would be. That’s what you had trouble articulating: everything is arranged symmetrically enough but with the left and right sides oddly off to the side of the middle of the screen.

[@Zcumgod]

I'm sure it's a common enough name but the only other time I've seen a character named Farooq is in wrestling and that tickles me a little

[@oneopinion6806]

"the most commercial looking shot in a movie I've ever seen." Oh come on, you've not seen Bayformer movies? Mark Wahlberg stopping the plot to grab one of hundreds of Bud Lights all over the ground, crack it open and take a slug? The nano-bots turning into a Beats By Dre Pill? Oreo Bot? Every glory shot of the modern robots as cars making a General Motors commercial? If you've scrubbed those from your mind though, I do totally understand.

[@markiangooley]

I read Poor Things when it was published and I’m afraid to see the movie. A unique author and the weirdest of his books and I can’t believe that anyone could have made a version I would like…

[@bdre5555]

The worst thing about this movie, Michael Flatley simply looks like a generic old man.

[@jamesd4223]

The movie may be bland but, at least it give us all the comfort of knowing that vanity projects are still very much alive in current cinema.

[@briancoulombe4517]

I wish someone out there would write, direct, and play the lead in a movie but the character they’re playing just completely sucks. It would change the game.

[@matthewcrome]

Eric Roberts in this movie looks like present day Peter Capaldi/David Cronenberg.

[@Callirgos1]

Lord of the Dance was my soundtrack when I Dungeon Mastered (in D&D) in high school.

[@gracekim25]

There’s something so uniquely cringe about watching a guy the age of my dad recreating his James Bond fantasy but with the sheen of a real movie and no self-awareness. Definite similar vibes with population culling (Mission Impossible 2) and magic tech that causes a bodily breakdown (No Time to Die).

[@deathsyth8888]

Does he where a black tank top at any point in the movie? If not, then doesn't fit the RLM "Black Tank Top Theory". It primarily consists of older shlubby guys who write, star and direct in their own film as an action/ladies man and where a black tank top in at least in one scene to show their toughness and/or show their body without having to go shirtless.

[@DylanEldred]

He follows the "jaunty fedora" theory. In this theory, anyone who unironically wears a jaunty fedora is an egotistical douchebag so it fits
