    Sorry about the out of focus two shot. Both of them thought the other had checked the shot. Mike was drunk and Jay was HAF. They focused each others' shots IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. And that is NOT Mike in Lousy Carter. The movie Mike is in is called Lousy Farter. He's also in a movie called "Mike thinks he looks less fat when the shot is out of focus". Jay is also in a movie called "Pig was my favorite movie of the last ten years cause I'm a fucking weirdo". So again, Mike and Jay do not have a crew or a budget or anything else worthwhile in life. They do fail upwards constantly. Or rather, fail sideways. Mike continues failing sideways if you know what I mean. Or he like's to call it "Horizontal Expansion". Mike has just purchased stock in a company that makes belts for overweight bovine. They are looking to expand (pun intended) into the human market by selling their leather belts to portly gentlemen. You may wonder why a cow would need a belt? Or why a cow would wear a leather belt in the first place. The answer: Don't ask you scum. It's none of your business. Mike is gonna have over $5,000 dollars in his bank account when this stock goes public rest assured you fucks. Then he's gonna retire and live the good life on a cattle ranch wearing belts made of his friends.

    Honestly, fixing Night Swim is super easy. Terminally ill kid, they bought the house with a pool for water therapy, figure out the healing powers, and then eventually start deliberately feeding it Little Shop of Horrors style so their kid can be healthy. They stop, pool starts spitting out soggy zombies. Fun all round.

    Mike's summary of modern horror movies is pretty spot on, a lot of them just feel like a high budget episode of Goosebumps. Horror-adjacent, but staying within that pg-13 rating

    • @oliverholmes-gunning5372
      @oliverholmes-gunning5372 8 місяців тому +6

      The problem is production companies have become more and more afraid of taking any risks in the recent past, which is largely down to how expensive movies are to make these days. Only last night I was watching Ken Russell's The Devils, widely considered to be one of the most controversial horror movies ever made (to the point where Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave were banned from ever entering the country of Italy on pain of 3 years' imprisonment just for having starred in it lol), and I can't friggin' believe Warner Bros agreed to produce it in the first place, even if they did come to regret it later- these days I can't imagine them even giving Russell a pitch meeting after reading the first draft of the script.
      Having said that, ultra-mainstream movies have always wanted to appeal to as broad an audience as possible- there was plenty of pg-13 horror stuff back in the 70s and 80s as well. And it's not like teenybopper horror is the only choice we have. Plenty of horror auteurs like Robert Eggers, Lars Von Trier, Ari Aster (whose work I dislike personally, but still, one can't deny it's definitely not pg-13 stuff), Mike Flanagan, Jeremy Saulnier, etc are still making a lot of great stuff today. And one the less highbrow, more exploitation side there's plenty to enjoy too- hell, we got arguably the greatest entry in the entire Saw franchise last year, and we still have Terrifier 3 to look forward to this year (which if it's even half as good as Terrifier 2 will be an absolute blast for sure). And while the big companies don't want to touch the more cult stuff, there's plenty of smaller outfits like A24 that have been more than willing to step into that gap in the market.

    I live in Nebraska city, and was around for a lot of the filming of Snack shack. Its kinda funny to recognize places, and see them driving in circles for scenes.
    The theater they go into is the Pioneer theater, where I've been watching movies for 30 years. It's a pretty wonderful place to live. I feel like the color temperature is off for some of the opening outdoor scenes. It was rather stormy for a chunk of the filming. The movie used cars from local folk to sit in the background.

      @@WeWantBears Shows like Curb, South Park, and Always Sunny are grandfathered in, they existed long before comedy started to get watered down. I mean he isn't wrong either, while stand up comedy is pretty healthy right now (which translates over to podcasts) comedy barely exists in the theaters, is almost dead on cable (just look at once stalwarts like Adult Swim or Comedy Central or even Fox), and you're lucky to find the one in a sea of slop shows or movies that is worth a damn on streaming and when you do are they really comparable to the comedies that existed before or do they just stand out because everything else is just so bland/bad?
      Just because someone's socio-political ideas do not agree with yours doesn't make them wrong elsewhere. You need to take each idea/comment as its' own separate thing when they aren't really related to something else like politics.

    I booked my tickets for Furiosa at the local IMAX for Saturday night 8pm... I had the entire theatre to choose from.
    I hope it's good and word of mouth spreads quickly, at the moments it's gonna bomb.

    I was just thinking to myself earlier this night that I hadn't watched movies in a while (except for Dune Part 2) and I bet the Red Letter Media guys have a summary video of recent Movies/shows. I also haven't watched a video from y'all in a bit tbh. These catch up vids are great content.
