*"This would be a short."* Well, there was that one Simpsons story they did for one of their Treehouse of Horror episodes where they showed the horrors of Y2K.
@@adarnia pretty sure that I follow all the big UA-cam critics, and I think that Jeremy is a solid go to - even when his critiques differ from that of other UA-camrs like yms. So, I'm curious why he'd be associated with having bad taste (I've never heard that before). Also, Jeremy definitely didn't say that he liked this movie lol
As a CS prof at the time, (1) Y2K was overblown by the media (surprise, surprise) and work on solutions started in 1995, (2) AI at this time was so limited it was less "intelligent" than an amoeba, and (3) if the experts couldn't "solve the problem", no high school "whiz kid" was going to. Sheesh.
According to people who saw this when it was first screened at one of the film festivals; it was a much more raunchier and gorier version than the cut that got released in theaters. Studio must have chickened out. Maybe they'll release the unrated version on digital.
@@LARKXHIN Not saying the movie would have been good, but they were going for a more hard R version like the aforementioned Superbad. I'm sure Kyle Mooney's original version was superior.
@@SuperPal-tr3go him and Korey both basically said they thought it was boring and smelling its own ass. Like it wasn’t as deep or artistic as the movie thinks it is. Pretty much that meme of “I’m 14 and this is deep”
Even as someone who liked some of the humor in this movie, what sinks it is the 2nd act being way too slow. The movie has a lot of madcap energy in the 1st and 3rd acts that I found fun in the moment, but when it slows down in the middle your mind begins to wander and punch holes in the movie. It opens with some hilarious deaths, but then it just fizzles until Fred Durst enters the film.
Was it a sign that the film was probably going to be terrible since Fred Durst was in it as himself? 😂 I wouldn’t have been surprised if he had directed it lol On a serious note I think it would’ve been okay as a short or just some internet skit on Funny or Die or CollegeHumor
I'm not a fan of gory horror movies, but this one's premise is so ridiculous that the kills were bearable. Also some of the kills were similar to gore depicted on Saturday Night Live.
That's a shame, it seems like the kind of premise that could really work if given the proper effort. I might check it out just to see if I can measure the missed potential.
the whole conceit of this film is nostalgia and it feels so lazy. the writers got so wrapped up in presenting their materialistic, half-remembered pastiche of "the 90s" that they forgot to write actual characters, or dialogue that makes OTHER people laugh and not just themselves. they seemed stuck thinking that showing you products and toys and things (or one washed-up nu metal musician) is enough to keep you watching, but what is the point when its purely a gimmick that adds nothing but cheap set dressing and "remember this" moments? they can’t even commit to a true 90s setting, why is kid laroi there when he wasn’t even born then? its so disappointing that kyle mooney would waste his talent on something so puerile and painfully unimaginative
I saw this movie in theaters and was overwhelmed with how unexpectedly shitty it was 😅 It made mediocre movies like the Crow seem artistic lmao I couldn't believe how awful it was and then continued to be
@@krisj827You can't tell me that they weren't big during that time. Trust me, I remember songs from their "Significant Other" album getting a lot of airplay at the time.
Korey had no intentions to care😂😂😂He thought this was a slasher film. They built a lot of hype around this film and the concept only for it to be a waste of time. A24 has been building hype off it's name and over hype on the good reviews. I saw a lot of bad reviews getting covered up and the few good reviews being pushed to sell this film. It really had a good concept but the execution didn't add up.
3:50 is Belly Laughingly Hilarious, Martin has literally given me uncontrollable laughter😆🤣, the amount of times this has happened to me in the cinema over the years
This movie had alot of good ideas in it. But never knew had to execute it and just felt like it was jumping all over the place. It was just annoying by the end.
Disappointed in this movie because it wasn’t funny and just played a bunch of Nostalgia songs to make up for the story it felt like. Sure had a cool cameo which most people would be excited about, but the story really felt short and the field. The movie just felt corny and un authentic.
3:50 Martin OMG! 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂, Those rough watches at the cinema that 10 minutes in you think to yourself "I've gotta stop doing this" LMAO so true, or anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes in you think to yourself "Why did I come into this thing?" recent Examples, Argyle, Venom 3, Red One, Beetle juice 2, the strangers chapter 1. Just a numbness when you leave the cinema.
As a send up to schlocky 90's clichés from the Kevin Smith era, it was okay but then you wanna be moving or emotional and these actors do not click. Julien Dennison is really awful, he needs to stop playing the same stuck up Cartman clone.
From personal experience, it's because indie movies, good or bad, come and go in theaters in a short amount of time. The theater I usually go to had Anora for a week or two, then it was gone.
@michaelstrong5383 yea but they give attention to movies like Y2K but they dont do reviews for the good ones like Anora. I miss the old DoubleToasted when they review Art House films more often
A24 put out some movies that aren't hitting as hard and all of a sudden they have "fallen off" ugh this is why I hate the Internet. Everything has to be hyperbolic
Wow Martin spent more time trying to figure out who the actors were than talking about the movie 💀
*"This would be a short."*
Well, there was that one Simpsons story they did for one of their Treehouse of Horror episodes where they showed the horrors of Y2K.
Yeah just from the trailer I can definitely tell they just ripped off that part from that one treehouse of horror short
Julien coming in with the "Amen" gave me a good chuckle!
“And then Fred durst shows up” I nearly did a spit take
If Martin is reviewing a movie you know Korey ain't gonna give him more then 5 minutes.
It's Snow White and the Seven Dorks.
Korey pointing out “Jeremy Jahns liked it” tells me all I need to know 😂
Wdym?
@@lechugastudiosyt7465 Jeremy J has bad taste
He said it’s alright if you’re stoned/drunk. That’s hardly a glowing recommendation
Cap, Jeremy didn't not say it was a good movie lol.
@@adarnia pretty sure that I follow all the big UA-cam critics, and I think that Jeremy is a solid go to - even when his critiques differ from that of other UA-camrs like yms.

For the movie review to be this short you know this movie is trash 😂
not trash imo. its stupid fun
@ninanando So it's stupid trash you like 😂
Ngl it was funny but definitely rushed. 💯
@@ninanando Fun? Where was the fun? It was painfully stupid.
@ninanando it's both. Just horrible
Damn the review is that short it's going on the bites channel?
It means the movie isn’t worth reviewing and I wish they’d do this more for lesser quality films
They did it in like the last 30 min of the stream 😂
they even couldn't have fun with it it was so bad
Only Martin watched it.
As a CS prof at the time, (1) Y2K was overblown by the media (surprise, surprise) and work on solutions started in 1995, (2) AI at this time was so limited it was less "intelligent" than an amoeba, and (3) if the experts couldn't "solve the problem", no high school "whiz kid" was going to. Sheesh.
Just let Martin review every show, his honesty and straightforward ness is comedy gold😂
This movie felt like a fan film
According to people who saw this when it was first screened at one of the film festivals; it was a much more raunchier and gorier version than the cut that got released in theaters. Studio must have chickened out. Maybe they'll release the unrated version on digital.
A24 in their mainstream era and it sucks
@@LARKXHIN Not saying the movie would have been good, but they were going for a more hard R version like the aforementioned Superbad. I'm sure Kyle Mooney's original version was superior.
I heard Chris Gore say the same thing during his review. Y2K had it's moments but I'm curious to see what's in this festival cut.
@@BobbiVrrcetti217 Yeah, for sure.
According to the IMDb parents guide, a woman was supposed to give birth to a robot. That never happened.
“I was wondering Y 2k times “ Martin
Reminds me of small soldiers
@@Fan-Nimater101 Reminds me of This Is The End
And both movies are better than y2k.
What we learn after hearing Martin’s thoughts on this and I Saw the TV Glow, any time Fred Durst is in an A24 movie, it’s a red flag for him.
Wait he hated I Saw the TV Glow? Why?
@@SuperPal-tr3go him and Korey both basically said they thought it was boring and smelling its own ass. Like it wasn’t as deep or artistic as the movie thinks it is. Pretty much that meme of “I’m 14 and this is deep”
@@SuperPal-tr3go he thought it was boring and not as artistic and as deep as the movie thinks it is.
@@SuperPal-tr3go Yeah both him and Korey hated it. Pretty much for the same reasons that Shane brought up.
Which screeners did Martin see interested in which a24 films to avoid

It was okay. Not great. Not bad. Nothing that anyone needs to run out and see. Didí was a better 2000s movie.
So its basically an SNL sketch.
I'm interested to see what's done certainly. Admittedly I also want to go for Rachel Zegler though. Haha.
The Simpsons did an episode of this during the Treehouse of horror. That was nearly 20 years ago.
25 years ago, actually.
A worst Maximum Overdrive and it being Super Bad💀💀💀
Imagine making a movie about y2k scare 23 years after it stopped being relevant, A24 resurrecting dead scripts hiding under peoples couches now.
It's funny because Jeremy Jahns did not like it lol at least not what he said on his actual review video
The online reviews are slamming it because Zegler's in it
She's a scapegoat for how lazy the writing is. Not her fault. Martin is too fucking harsh on this
They REALLY need to stop it. Aside from the 'Snow White' stuff, she's fine in my opinion. She might be better for the stage than in film.
Yeah some people are obsessed with hating on her but that aside it's still a really bad movie.
Low tier a24 for me.
As someone who loves A24, even I will admit that not all of their films are that great. Skin, Men, and Maxxxine are a few that I didn't enjoy.
A24 is like any other studio, for every banger they make, you also gonna have some misses, and this year was the biggest example yet.
In my opinion, Y2K is the worst movie A24 has put out yet. It was the lowest of the low for A24.
Was it a sign that the film was probably going to be terrible since Fred Durst was in it as himself? 😂 I wouldn’t have been surprised if he had directed it lol

Tubthumping was from '97. BTW, Limp Bizkit wasn't that big back at '99
Eh? 99 was Limp Bizkit peak.
Limp Bizkit peaked in 1999, wym? 😂😂
@@krisj827You can't tell me that they weren't big during that time. Trust me, I remember songs from their "Significant Other" album getting a lot of airplay at the time.
The concept had potential but was poorly executed with bad writing.
Yea, I just saw it, and it felt like a long tv episode. Would be better as a short, probably. A lot of characters and scenes are pointless.
I was thinking Did they use deaging technology for Fred Durst?? lol then Korey said something too
Korey had no intentions to care😂😂😂He thought this was a slasher film. They built a lot of hype around this film and the concept only for it to be a waste of time.

Dang, I love Kyle Mooney as a comedic actor. His humor is hilarious to me lol. Sorry to hear this wasn’t good
And you believe that it's not good?
This movie had alot of good ideas in it. But never knew had to execute it and just felt like it was jumping all over the place. It was just annoying by the end.
It's not great but I thought it was fine as a rental than going out to the theater
Disappointed in this movie because it wasn’t funny and just played a bunch of Nostalgia songs to make up for the story it felt like. Sure had a cool cameo which most people would be excited about, but the story really felt short and the field. The movie just felt corny and un authentic.
I was hoping this movie was going to be fun and good but I guess not.
Wasn't that bad but definitely wasn't perfect and i didn't laugh the whole time. High rental 🤷🏾♂️💯

Maximum overdrive transformers
Martin so right its so crap
Rachel zeggler will save this movie
Doubt it
😂
I've heard so little about this and no one has liked it ☹️ I was excited
😅

I just love how mad 50 year old white guys get mad about 20 something year old Zegler just doing her thing
You lost me at A24 brand is falling off. They released The Brutalist this year
Martin hated this movie?! This looks good.
It does not look good. Martin is right
@MrBlueBot5 Nah. There were times that the DT crew hated good movies.
my name is earl did a better y2k episode
Why do you guys review BS indie movies like these but cant do a review for great ones like Anora?
From personal experience, it's because indie movies, good or bad, come and go in theaters in a short amount of time. The theater I usually go to had Anora for a week or two, then it was gone.
@michaelstrong5383 yea but they give attention to movies like Y2K but they dont do reviews for the good ones like Anora. I miss the old DoubleToasted when they review Art House films more often
Yeah Anora was probably my favorite movie this year. It was so good.
They did a review about Y2K that didn't mention or critique Rachel Zegler? *Weird.* Weird.
Just say NO to Fred Durst👎
I didn’t love it but I enjoyed it more than Martin. It’s fine
A24 put out some movies that aren't hitting as hard and all of a sudden they have "fallen off" ugh this is why I hate the Internet. Everything has to be hyperbolic
A24 has been off for a couple years
I’ve found the kid from Deadpool 2 annoying in everything I’ve seen him in. Anytime I see he’s in something coming out I get turned away.
Sounds like y'all aren't all that interested in being movie reviewers.
Rip-off of one the Treehouse of horror episodes on The Simpsons.
Those movie is surely on my "Movie Warch List"🦾🤖🤸🏾
