@@Dessan01 Exactly. There was hope that their podcast get more down votes than up votes, but lots of people voted it up once it got live, so yeah.. old times are over.

[@SkinnyBlackout]

It definitely feels lonely at Cinemassacre without Mike. So glad to see you doing something together again.

[@SPQR101010]

Mike is the actual AVGN, wrote all the scripts and is the one who really cares about video games, not a wannabe real hollywood director and trying to be steven Spielberg.

[@slamjackson2137]

The idea of Mike asking James to feed his cat while on vacation is so heartwarming lol

[@jesseleesamples]

Yeah and then when James said, “it doesn’t matter what game we play, I’m just happy to be here.” 😭

[@thomasvanboening4829]

They have gone through so much together. With all the crazy shit they film, feeding each others pets is pretty wholesome! :D

[@Rakumei672]

Also goes to show all the BS out there on the internet. People claiming to know there was some massive fallout behind J&MM stopping and they weren't friends anymore.

[@IncredibleMD]

James would be an amazing cat-feeding-friend.

[@andykishore]

Yeah, that part was nice to hear.

[@radstormronin68]

Man I miss James and Mike Mondays. Brings a tear to my eye.

[@fydiousmckormick]

This made my day. Correction this made my year. I hope you guys do this occasionally even if it’s not like the old days of every Monday. You did enough of that you deserve as many breaks from it as you feel like.

[@mikematei]

Thanks. Yeah exactly. I’m sure we’ll do it again at some point but not on any type of schedule.

Screw painful schedules just do stuff organically when you feel like it. You have fun, the viewer has fun. No reason to overcomplicate what is a simple principle.

[@EC2JM]

I agree 👍🏻👍🏻

[@rezhaadriantanuharja3389]

The reason is a signed contract and money

[@PikangsFutaba]

This feels like a lost episode of the good old James and Mike's Mondays, the virus has been a pain to deal with, but thankfully we can still have good things overall (one of those is this video). Hopefully in the future you two keep doing this kind of thing from time to time.

[@frankbizzoco1954]

This gives me hope that life will go on lol

[@sincaruk_]

I didn't know it was recent untill I checked the comments.

[@sammyshehole]

@Salvador Pais Exactly. If people just stopped watching the news and letting headlines run their lives, people would overall be happier, I think.

[@prowse321]

lolz i miss james and mike monday, its all not talking about the games but 2 friends talking each other

SO HAPPY to see these 2 on a video again!

[@wrangerw1]

I'm happy cause I actually just learned the news of him leaving and them still being friends

[@jimmycarpenter6612]

I've seen a ton of your videos when my kids showed me. They liked some of the Disney songs you did and I got sucked into all your takes on different rock songs. Seeing you're obviously a video game nerd as well just made me a bigger fan lol.

Good to see you two together.

[@YoungBideo]

Same. Twas one of those days... 🙌🙌

[@HugoRibeiroDrummer]

These two have undeniable chemistry.

[@Bubba_s]

Yes! Much more so than James with Justin, Kieran and the Screenwave guys. All of that material just feels very forced.

[@OptimusSatanas]

@@Bubba_s I think its just a matter of those guys being less interesting or likable. When these guys are hanging its more entertaining because they seem to actually enjoy each other's company beyond a business venture.

[@TheGeekPunkGamer]

It was nice to see James & Mike play games together again. So much chemistry between them. It would be nice to see J&M make a return.

Please keep playing games together.missed James and Mike Mondays

Holy shit, I literally just finished Cinemassacre's first podcast and then saw that Mike uploaded this. LOVE YOU GUYS!

[@mediumrarebeef8426]

If you like the Cinemassacre podcast then I think you should check out Mike and Ryan's podcast. I think it was called talk about games.

[@MarcoCaifan87]

After a year and a half of sheer craziness, this is a breath of fresh air. I hope James and Mike do occasional videos every once in a while, just like old times.

[@Satsui_No_Hado]

2021 just got that much better , welcome back Mike and James , this'll be epic going forward 🔥🔥👊👊

[@Teatime4Tom]

"I meant like you put somebody up against the wall." Mike digs the hole a little deeper.

[@timfields176]

Can't lie I clicked on this instantly. Love seeing the duo back in action!

[@coreykotyluk1429]

I miss these old times together videos. Used to constantly watch J and M Mondays. Great to see it again.Skyblazer was my favorite episode to date.

[@reoire843]

That’s a great one. Always funny when they would miss something obvious like that boss strategy, or “the wizard was incinerated” in The Immortal. And even better if they were able to figure out the issue in the same video, like realizing how the UI worked for the keys in Goonies 2, or solving the problem with the FourScore in Super Off Road with Pat the NES Punk.

[@mr.exposition]

I miss James and Mike Mondays, this is great! These two will always be the iconic duo of Cinemassacre

[@petewadesays12]

This is the most heartwarming reunion.

[@RestRabbitRest]

Feels like I'm seeing the 'real' James once again in a very long time!

[@sparkypack]

James can be himself again. No pressure, no time schedules, not focusing on ten different projects for once.

[@thriller985]

These guys are really good at impressions honestly. Over the years they have done at least 15/20

[@reoire843]

It’s terrific to see them back together. I hope this can build into a regular thing. The convo about KZbin was interesting also. It would be nice if this was edited like the classic James & Mike Mondays videos. In this one, the video of James & Mike is so small that you can barely make them out.

[@fusionspace175]

I know you guys stayed friends after the split but it's great to see you hang out and have fun like the old days. This takes me right back to my own 2p contra days. Thanks for this.

I’ve missed James and Mike Mondays a lot , damn ! I’m so stoked you guys decided to do this. You guys remind me of what it was like growing up in NJ. I moved away from Jersey in the late 90’s so these videos with you guys just hanging out is like being back home with my friends playing Nintendo and talking about random shit

Awesome to see you guys reunite. I really like watching you guys hang out and play old games. I need to do the same with my friend who I haven't seen in awhile.

[@wheresmary]

The magic of Mike and James is that they have a way of resurfacing that nostalgia while also remaining relevant. They need to bring back James and Mike Mondays. They have genuine chemistry because they are friends but also because they are genuine fans of the games they are playing. Their reviews are so spot on with actual experiences of people of this old school generation. This is why they are so entertaining. They should pursue their own things if they want, but they should always come back to working together, even if it’s once a month or whatever. Their AVGN collaborations are classics.
