WHM On-Screen: Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker

[@jd3795]

"creatively bankrupt b team Spielberg' so harsh, so true

[@jessebray5841]

“IM NOT PISSING MY PANTS!” is the exact quality of commentary I came expecting. Hahaha

[@jazbeck]

Oh, I'm afraid the comments section will be quite operational when your friends arrive.

[@haywoodu.cuddleme9179]

The alternate title of this video was going to be "Chris Cabin poorly attempting to hold in his unquenchable rage for an hour."

[@grahamrichardson9620]

Chris Cabin's never REALLY gone.

[@clintonleonard5187]

He was a good friend...

[@dashcamtravels7998]

So I've been listening to these guys weekly since 2016 and I found out a few years ago that they post their podcasts on KZbin but never have thought about looking it up when I got home until today. Just like meeting the DJ from your radio station for the first time, it was a very odd experience despite their likenesses being part of their artwork for quite a while plus to hear their voices outside my car.

[@normalgraham]

Same experience here. I actually like not knowing what people look like for whatever reason, helps me focus on their personality. So it's always funny to see the lips match the voice. I remember seeing Harry Shearer do the Mr Burns voice and feeling like I was watching a magic trick. Similarly, I used to enjoy Game Grumps but once I saw Erin and Danny talking on camera I just kind of quietly unsubscribed with a frown on my face.

[@olleronn616]

My hottake is that they'd never kill characters that are easy to replace. So, Chewie is safe because they can just put a tall Finlander in that suit.

[@noisyrhysling]

It's so weird putting faces to the voices. None of them sound like men with mustaches.

[@HandBanana741]

All guys with mustaches must sound like Sam Elliott

[@noahgoucher2867]

Huh. So this is what agreeing with Chris Cabin feels like.

[@jonathan_kidneystone_seagull]

Kinda side with Cabin. I hated it. Not that there wasn’t anything to like, but so much of the story and character development and twists were soooo cheap. And the pacing and editing was erratic. It didn’t feel like much mattered. What a way to end the trilogy.

[@fastizzio]

I think I had the opposite experience to most of you guys, in that I liked it more the first time around because "hey, I'm watching a Star Wars movie!" and then on the second time I was just furious most of the runtime. But Eric you keep Babu Frik's name out of your mouth goddamoot!

[@jandubovan7198]

Cabin loves star wars and is so passionate about it. Respect

[@zetsubanned4308]

"Put it out in 2020, put it out in 2021!" You're not wrong. Also I can only imagine a world in which IX came out during the pandemic.

[@thecunninlynguist]

Hell yeah. Been waiting for the gang to take a look at this mess.

[@faz6877]

Fuck yeah. This is going to be much better than ROS. Can't wait to hear Eric's take and the outrage of Chris Cabin!

[@zetsubanned4308]

I cannot imagine how anyone looked at that transport blowing up and believed for even a single second that it was a sincere character death moment. Crabin ain't no detective, it was more obvious than the sun they weren't blowing up that merchandise. Definitely not in a car accident.

[@violetedge83]

Great discission. I felt like y'all were objective. 💜

[@LARKXHIN]

“Stop talking about him like that!!!” Lmao

[@AP-zw6ql]

That "Donut in a Donut" made me start thinking about Knives Out. Now I want to watch that again.

[@thejonner2036]

"Put it out in 2020." Erm...

[@LARKXHIN]

5 months ago where everyone could be in the same room 😔

[@afacelessname]

Common story trope: no body, no death. Cabin was dead on.

[@Feasco]

Pretty hard to find a body when it's atomized along with the Death Star which definitely COULD NOT HAVE LARGE FRAGMENTS SURVIVE ATMOSPHERIC REENTRY

[@JoeSelf1982]

‘Here we go again,’

[@HisNameWasCrazy]

"Backing the wrong horse" with Carrie Fisher always seemed an especially odd decision to me as she died months before The Last Jedi came out, plenty of time to undo the decision to kill off Luke. Having him still alive for the third movie could have made a huge difference.

[@alltheorynopractice5467]

In movie terms (especially something as VFX-heavy as Star Wars), it wasn't NEARLY enough time. She died long after principle photography was over, so the better choice would just be to have her character already dead when IX came out.

[@megatron1384]

MahMahAfro3000 I don’t believe that is correct. She died like 2 days after LTLJ came out I think?

[@DREWSTAV]

megatron1384 She died almost twelve months before TLJ

[@versena]

@@megatron1384 She died a year before it came out, and shortly after Rogue One was released, on 27th December 2016. But they'd already completed filming because TLJ was initially meant to be released in May 2017 but when TFA did so well in December they moved TLJ to December as well but kept the same shooting schedule.

[@versena]

@@alltheorynopractice5467 Agreed. Plus it would be awful to cut Carrie Fisher's last full performance imo. But it's not like they'd have ever done it, you can't just cut some scenes and tweak things, her character was an important part of Poe's story arc so that would've needed to have been completely overhauled. I think her being dead at the beginning of IX would've been the best as well, not having to work around all that awkward dialogue and forcing that plot into the movie could've only helped. It feels like it was hamstrung by needing to include her in ways they could only use what they had already.

[@skeletor1358]

Kick ass shirt, Andrew!

[@MarVelFiend23]

Love you guys

[@katelynmosley7166]

Does everyone get the epic times ads...? I hope it isnt just me...

[@leejones8582]

She looks like a orange left out in the sun and we never find out how Anakin's lightsaber went from Cloud City to a box on another planet.

[@jamesanderson6373]

This is gonna be good!

[@urth2leesha]

Star Wars: MacGuffin Hunt?

[@McWafflez45]

THE DEAD SPEAK!

[@topsecrets111]

Thanks for the review guys...good movie or not I couldn’t handle Chris’s constant complaining so I had to tap out early

[@TheSimbulUK]

Havent been to watch a second time. Given my initial reaction was the same as yours, maybe ill enjoy it a bit more. Mostly I felt nothing but disappointment, and like Andrew I've learnt it is ok to feel nothing for a SW film 🤷‍♀️

[@jonsmith9838]

Sweet new vid

[@clintonleonard5187]

God, I hate to say it, but I care so little about Disney Star Wars that I don't even know if I'm interested in hearing you guys talk about it. Well, if I imagine it as a regular episode of We Hate Movies then maybe I can stomach it.

[@therealjerryhorror]

Years later we found out that TROS caused the pandemic.

[@ComedyGuardianWarriorsFOHlulz]

This movie is what you get when you let all the rEaL FaNs mAn! be the tail that wags the dog just like they complained the SJWs did back in The Last Jedi. You get a turd taco.

[@christiangavey7343]

Hey guys!

[@predatorminutepodcast1570]

Hard to rank these movies are for me. I have to rank them as trilogies: OT, the 2 standalone movies, ST, PT

[@lilshabaz1862]

00:37:50 I feel you, Eric. Can we mute him... the entire podcast?

[@nitro-verse5311]

Im glad you guys hate it. Feel the anger yyyyeeeesssss dew it.

[@drewskull5181]

Spoiler alert, ROS is a 400 million dollar exercise in futility...

[@Subjectivity13]

As many problems as this had, it was SO much easier to watch than the Irishman. It was almost the opposite. Rise of Skywalker had too much crammed into it, while the Irishman was just three and a half hours of unnecessary scenes of people talking about nothing, for no reason. Probably the most self-indulgent film I've ever barely sat through.

[@novadselir1068]

Hilarious

[@lilshabaz1862]

Andrew, a note: move the image of you and Eric to the bottom left, move Chris and Steve to the top right, but crop the dead air of you two. maximize the screen, dude! This WIDE wide screen is sorta lame.

[@zaboknowsbest13]

The reveal of a second deathstar is some of the worst writing ever lol its ok to admit it

[@jediorder88]

What are you guys talking about? I loved this one, it's so much better than last jedi. There was a thing or two that made me raise my eyebrow but not facepalm like last jedi.

[@nitro-verse5311]

😠😠😡😡😡😩😩😣😔😐 u know what man I'm glad u liiiikkeedd it. 😔

[@RobKugs]

What they're talking about is how horrible, shallow, and uninspired this film is.

[@kadsl123]

I feel like to Star Wars fans, not being an absolute cinematic masterpiece = BAD FILM. It was fun, I enjoyed it.

[@Feasco]

It didn't have to be a masterpiece it just had to be decent fun, which it couldn't even manage that much
