A part of me wants to say yes, but i somewhat feel that's not really it. I've met or heard about people like Breen. They have a job, even a good one, maybe a degree and maybe even a family, but are completely oblivious to a large portion of reality. They know OF the internet, but they have a very basic idea of it. Sure they use phones, but have no interest in how or why they work, they just use it as a phone. They know movies exist and have seen some of them, but have never thought about why a scene works, how it was done and what other movies have a similar scene. It's a mix of pragmatism, blissful ignorance and narcissism. I can list some examples, for the amusement of the comment section :1) A guy i've worked for that owned a company which installed security cameras and alarm systems, had no idea how any of the products worked, he was just a good seller and somebody told him there was good money in it. Delegated everything to us, kept telling bold lies to the clients about the products he sold. 2) a lady who was an amateur actress that created an amateur acting company from nothing, doing auditions, giving acting classes, everything a theatre director should do i guess, while being the worst actress i've ever witnessed and insisting on acting in every play, ad-libbing her part and failing at everything, every time. 3) A guy who thought he was a genius guitarist and produced an album every year, mixing it by himself, hiring young musicians to be in his band with the promise of a great career. The point being: They know how to make things happen, no self-awareness on why they shouldn't
@@kamilianos Yeah, like spend the money on a production crew of people who know what they're doing, to offset how much Neil is either clueless, or cannot translate into imagery himself. Might be interesting.
I saw Rawhead Rex when I was six years-old. It so thoroughly terrified me that my father installed a nightlight in my bedroom... a red nightlight that drenched my bedroom in an intense, blood-red glow. Naturally, this failed to allay my fears.
I was a jaded 12-year-old veteran of endless Night-stalker reruns. Thought 'ol RH was rather fakey looking. I laughed so hard when he peed on that guy.
I saw it on cable in the mid 90s around 8-9 yrs old, i wouldn't say it scared me all that much but rawhead intrigued me enough that i'm still a big fan of the story to this day. I just busted down and bought the graphic novel and the first 3 out of 4 of the nightbreed comics with rawhead so i'd have copies XD (Paid $65 USD for the graphic novel lol, cheapest i could find it)
I thought so too for a brief moment, that it was all ironic and tongue-in-cheek but I don’t think that now. He’s probably been told most of his life that everything he does is great and nobody contradicted him so he takes himself dead seriously. Strong narcissistic traits as well. No self-doubt there at all, unlike those many really artistically talented people are riddled with.
Breen has the extremely off-putting and genuinely sincere quality of a Tim and Eric stunt casting regular, the ones that they always love to have on the show
A few years ago Neil would discuss his films with commenters fairly frequently, and he is serious, but also not too defensive of criticism. I think at that time he struggled to see the aesthetic problems of his movies, like legitimately, I don't think he could see the quality issues because he just hadn't developed that type of aesthetic awareness. That was my impression. But I think he sees himself as a rogue filmmaker, or at least he did... not the type of personality to really be ironic. He was too literal for that kind of thing, but I don't know what he.
The fact that Breen says “My movies will NOT be shown at midnight, they are NOT cult movies” is all we really need to know that he is completely aware of how people view his films. Not only that but he keeps trying to qualify them as if trying to convince us (or himself) that they’re high art. “They’re professional, they all made a profit, look at all these people cheering for my movie, etc etc.”
@@hecticsconeAbsoLUTELY not. Twisted Pair is by FAR his worst. Which is crazy to say, but watch it and Fateful Findings or Pass Thru and you’ll see what I mean.
Lighting is critical in film making, because without light films would be dark. Neil Breen knows this, because he has made 5 feature length professional films.
I worked at FYE for a year and we had a guy who would come in every week and ask if we had a copy of Rawhead Rex, but he would refuse to order a copy from us. Week after week he would come in asking for the same DVD and yield the same result. The 4k remaster didn't come out until 2017, which was well after I stopped working there. I hope he finally got a copy.

Neil Breen is an enigma. An enigma that none of my friends or family care to experience with me, so I’m left to chat about him with strangers on the internet or in comments sections like this one. Every time I tried to put a film of his on, I’d hear “turn this shit off, it sucks” or the like. Whatever, I guess it wasn’t meant to be in this lifetime and I’ll have to enjoy him all alone.
I’m in the same situation. I seem to be the only person in my household who enjoys terrible movies. But, at least it’s lots of fun to discuss and make fun of them in the comments.
I had sent him an email about a year after Fateful Findings was released and I asked him for a signed copy of one of those books. He replied with “Sorry, No”
@Aaron K Apparently not, since the guys at Good Bad or Bad Bad are dealing with their reviews of his films having been taken down because of Breen's copyright claims.
Actually I just learned that one of my friend’s roommates’ dad was in Double Down... he doesn’t like to talk about it apparently, but I’ll get the deets one day
I have been sent back...to this time, from the far future... Only I can sentence or exonerate the human race of its'...corrupting systems, programmable extortion tactics, and deceitful deceptions that betray people's fraudulent reality... The ones who sent me to this time frame also enhanced my humanoid processes through inceptive devices...these allow me to track any, and every, security breach, using the surgically altered powers I was chosen to have as gifts... If humanity...cannot...or will not, do this for the species to survive, to continue and eventually become as was my intentions...then I shall be forced as the intervention to establish a new coherent species to build, in harmony, what mankind...has taken for granted...has treated like garbage...for the heart of the multiple universes cannot coexist from detrimental tribalism and corrupt politicians who are in bed with the drug lords...that terrorize innocent...good people... Well, no more...they are done...done... I...was bored...what can I...say? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Lol sorry for the late response everyone.. so I'm still digging for more, but this was during my friend's dad's time in LA trying to make it as an actor (and before moving to a Vegas commune and briefly becoming the pastor of a church... super interesting life he's lived) and he heard Breen was searching for cheap actors. He needed the job so he took it. Apparently Breen was somehow both incredibly demanding and specific with how every detail of the film was executed, but at the same time always seemed entirely lost and confused as to the overall vision for the final product. The shoot was also nightmarish given a lack of accommodation for the crew and cast's transportation, food, water and general well being (given how absurdly hot it was during principal photography). I was also told Breen himself was an incredibly creepy dude. Like lots of weird mannerisms and "a really off-putting attempt at an amiable natural that felt like he was hiding a ton of tension beneath the surface at all times... but not in his eyes. His eyes were lifeless." Anyways that's what I've been able to gather so far! I'll post again when I learn more!
@@SoulOfSpartathis only deepens my belief that Neil Breen is on the spectrum. As an autistic myself, I've picked up on a lot of his traits and mannerisms. When we emote, it either comes across as too much or too little, which can trigger a reaction from neurotypicals who misread us. Another part of that is black and white morality, which is a HUGE part of Breen's filmography. Sometimes, we also don't recognize there's a problem with our behavior/actions because we're not told - in very plain, straight to the point language - that these problems even exist. That said, if he's made aware of these issues and doesn't work to resolve them, he's being a dick. I think, too, that it would explain just why he's so bad at filmmaking. He gets hyperfocused and fixated on making it exactly as he imagined it, without taking into account the suggestions and criticisms of others. I mean, I'm sure the dude has other issues, of course, and I'm not diagnosing him with anything. I'm just saying I see a LOT of autistic traits in the dude. He's of an age where he wouldn't have been diagnosed, was probably just written off as "just a weird kid" and left to his own devices. 🤷♂️
@@mryan89 perhaps another way of phrasing it is 'they do not care about being demonised' 'Demonised' is a verb that is often used these days to describe 'being made out to be awful people', and it originally means 'to be portrayed as wicked or threatening.
Traveled from Norway to Sweden to see Cade: The Tortured Crossing, in Gothenburg. So much fun to see it in a theater. I think that with his newest feature-length, professionally made film he may have finally overplayed his hand. But who knows, we can always dream. Catering by Neil Breen even. So good😂
If you look closely they were able to add Rich Evan's into the discussion and digitally deaged him so he looks like he did 3 months ago before he aged 60 yrs from diabetic coronavirus shock
@@nspinicelli They got a copy-rite take-down because they apparently had art from Rawhead Rex in the video at one point so this is the re-upload of that video with the art removed. At least that's what I gather.
Im so glad that image was removed. I'd really hate if my art was shown for 2 seconds in a lengthly 54 minute video about movies. Doesn't matter if the image was used for illustrative purposes (undoubtedly fair use), that artist was so oppressed and the DMCA system is definitely not broken.
Highly doubtful the artist knew anything about this, stuff like this is generally the publisher, who wants to make sure they don't accidentally spread the word or maybe gain new fans.
Future Landfill he knew about this... he tweeted about it something like “hey guys I’m asking for a friend what should I do if a popular youtuber stole my work?” And all the replies were like take them to court, sue etc.
It's not a good look for the artist but it's technically not fair use, because they're not reviewing/commenting on the illustration, they're just using it to illustrate their point. In principle they should create their own, or use concept art from the production (which I don't think it was?)
First they take down Gone with the Wind and now Half in the Bag. Will Rich Evans at least do a 10 minute monologue about the historical context of Half in the Bag and how we must be better.
Neil Breen once tweeted about the fact that there is no authorised Neil Breen merchandise. Guess what someone did with the tweet? Turned it into a t-shirt!
The opening bit is a great encapsulation of how the early period of the pandemic felt, it was like the world was ending and nobody knew what the right thing to do was or what was going on
Judging by the change in facial hair, Mike and Jay aged about two weeks during the Neil Breen retrospective. Such power cannot be wielded by any man. Only Neil Breen can harness time.
For those who missed the original video, it featured a 30 minute long torture porn sequence in Plinkett's dungeon. Calling "art" something that vile, scatologic and mentally scarring, especially for poor Susan/Jay, is a bit of an odd stretch.
Didn't know Rawhead Rex was considered so obscure, it seemed to me to be at least somewhat known as video shlock. Also fun fact; the German DVD sports the advertising line "Lean back and let yourself too be christened by Rawhead Rex's hot stream of piss"
I like to think that Breen is actually one of the best actors out there, and the role hes playing is the director who makes awful films but thinks they are masterpieces. If so he is a true master of his art.
Neil Breen is truly a fascinating man. I really have to see one of his movies some time. I'm sorry you guys ran into copyright trouble. You're easily my favorite review channel on UA-cam!
The little boy is played by the Irish actor Hugh O Connor, he played the young Christie Brown in My Left Foot a few years later. I think he's still acting today.
It takes a real genius to analyse a bad film and a bad film director's work and understand that they are bad. You guys are doing real, meaningful, outstanding work.
I would bet money that the next movie Neil Breen makes will include three main villains who are cartoonishly evil and look suspiciously like Mike, Rich, and Jay.
A few videos from the beginning of the pandemic have come up recently and I’ve had to switch them off. They all triggered some kind of PTSD. Not this though. The way you guys approached this whole thing was awesome.

This was the first RLM video I stumbled across. I subsequently consumed all their content.
Welcome.
In two months? Oooooh no… oh no, no, no, no, no. Oooh no no noooo. Nooooo-o-o.
Have you heard of Pre-Rec?
Once ur in ur in
Neil Breen is an enigma. An enigma that none of my friends or family care to experience with me, so I’m left to chat about him with strangers on the internet or in comments sections like this one. Every time I tried to put a film of his on, I’d hear “turn this shit off, it sucks” or the like. Whatever, I guess it wasn’t meant to be in this lifetime and I’ll have to enjoy him all alone.
I’m in the same situation. I seem to be the only person in my household who enjoys terrible movies. But, at least it’s lots of fun to discuss and make fun of them in the comments.
I had sent him an email about a year after Fateful Findings was released and I asked him for a signed copy of one of those books. He replied with “Sorry, No”
You wouldn't expect him to remove them from the display at the museum, would you?
@jumpinjohnnyruss 😆
I don't get it, the title says art removed but I still see the Neil breen films?
@Aaron K I don't think he'd even know how to
Amazing comment my good sir!
@Aaron K well yeah he self funded, wrote, produced, directed, and stared in 5 theatrical released independent films
@@BP9000 They're real films.
@Aaron K Apparently not, since the guys at Good Bad or Bad Bad are dealing with their reviews of his films having been taken down because of Breen's copyright claims.
Actually I just learned that one of my friend’s roommates’ dad was in Double Down... he doesn’t like to talk about it apparently, but I’ll get the deets one day
Get those deets
I have been sent back...to this time, from the far future...
Only I can sentence or exonerate the human race of its'...corrupting systems, programmable extortion tactics, and deceitful deceptions that betray people's fraudulent reality...
The ones who sent me to this time frame also enhanced my humanoid processes through inceptive devices...these allow me to track any, and every, security breach, using the surgically altered powers I was chosen to have as gifts...
If humanity...cannot...or will not, do this for the species to survive, to continue and eventually become as was my intentions...then I shall be forced as the intervention to establish a new coherent species to build, in harmony, what mankind...has taken for granted...has treated like garbage...for the heart of the multiple universes cannot coexist from detrimental tribalism and corrupt politicians who are in bed with the drug lords...that terrorize innocent...good people...
Well, no more...they are done...done...
I...was bored...what can I...say?
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Lol sorry for the late response everyone.. so I'm still digging for more, but this was during my friend's dad's time in LA trying to make it as an actor (and before moving to a Vegas commune and briefly becoming the pastor of a church... super interesting life he's lived) and he heard Breen was searching for cheap actors. He needed the job so he took it.
Apparently Breen was somehow both incredibly demanding and specific with how every detail of the film was executed, but at the same time always seemed entirely lost and confused as to the overall vision for the final product. The shoot was also nightmarish given a lack of accommodation for the crew and cast's transportation, food, water and general well being (given how absurdly hot it was during principal photography). I was also told Breen himself was an incredibly creepy dude. Like lots of weird mannerisms and "a really off-putting attempt at an amiable natural that felt like he was hiding a ton of tension beneath the surface at all times... but not in his eyes. His eyes were lifeless."
Anyways that's what I've been able to gather so far! I'll post again when I learn more!
@@SoulOfSpartathis only deepens my belief that Neil Breen is on the spectrum. As an autistic myself, I've picked up on a lot of his traits and mannerisms. When we emote, it either comes across as too much or too little, which can trigger a reaction from neurotypicals who misread us. Another part of that is black and white morality, which is a HUGE part of Breen's filmography. Sometimes, we also don't recognize there's a problem with our behavior/actions because we're not told - in very plain, straight to the point language - that these problems even exist. That said, if he's made aware of these issues and doesn't work to resolve them, he's being a dick.
I think, too, that it would explain just why he's so bad at filmmaking. He gets hyperfocused and fixated on making it exactly as he imagined it, without taking into account the suggestions and criticisms of others. I mean, I'm sure the dude has other issues, of course, and I'm not diagnosing him with anything. I'm just saying I see a LOT of autistic traits in the dude. He's of an age where he wouldn't have been diagnosed, was probably just written off as "just a weird kid" and left to his own devices. 🤷♂️
It’s comforting to know that if mike let his mustache grow out he would look exactly like his character in the western ore musical
It's called *Breen* screen, not green screen
Neil Breen is THE Architect. ie: a highly specialized, emotionally desolate program of the Machine world, as well as the creator of the Matrix.
THEY CENSORED MY BOYS
RICH WILL HAVE HIS JUICY SHAQ MEAT
Wait what bit got it taken down?
Rip
Isn't it weird how it took this long?
other creators: walks on eggshells talking about current events
rlm: takes a dump on current events in the first five minutes to assert dominance
@@videocongrel did you mean demonetization or something to do with demons?
@@mryan89 Can´t it be both.
@@mryan89 perhaps another way of phrasing it is 'they do not care about being demonised'
'Demonised' is a verb that is often used these days to describe 'being made out to be awful people', and it originally means 'to be portrayed as wicked or threatening.
And it's awesome
Patreon is mucho mula.
Ah yes the four horsemen of the apocalypse: Tommy Wiseau, Zaat, Rawhead Rex and Orson Welles
And Neil Breen is Satan
I need to see an Avengers: Endgame-style film of this.
Why Orson Welles? He did good stuff ... Except for the ads...
@@skullketon They all had scenes in a movie where their characters throw tantrums by trashing the scenery.
I can't stop screaming at 39:30 "No more books!" scene. My god how incredible
And then he smirks…
@@alcook8339 that's why its so good, we don't know if he's smiling because he is aware or because he thought he killed that scene. It's gold
You guys touched on it. Self-awareness is doom to Outsider Art. Let Breen be Breen. 😁
I know I already watched this, but will I watch it again just cause they reuploaded it? Yep.
Ok I’m not crazy thank god
@@chrisdudley2016 it is not crazy.
Don't feel bad, I'd watched this video about 3 times already as it is
Watching Jay fall at the end and Mike start to laugh after ripping apart the room had me in stitches.
Definitely coming back to watch this scene
53:43 btw
The Rawhead artwork in the original made me want to buy the comic. Copyright holders are so stupid, don't know when they are getting free advertising.
@Kyle Farrell It's still something you created and therefore copyright is yours. You'd run in to problems only when trying to use it commercially.
The drawing was from a guy who just made an "homage" to the comic. He didn't have rights to the character either.
This illustrates very well what a clusterfuck copyright laws are
@@MysteriousAsteria I also was going to buy it but then I just bootlegged it so lol
There was no art removed here. The Neil Breen section is perfectly intact.
🤣
Traveled from Norway to Sweden to see Cade: The Tortured Crossing, in Gothenburg. So much fun to see it in a theater. I think that with his newest feature-length, professionally made film he may have finally overplayed his hand. But who knows, we can always dream. Catering by Neil Breen even. So good😂
WELL I READ this reupload has added new special effects that really let RLM tell the review they always intended!
I read UA-cam took it down because they showed Rich Evans eating a baby live!
It's stylistically designed to be that way.
Its so dense, every scene
If you look closely they were able to add Rich Evan's into the discussion and digitally deaged him so he looks like he did 3 months ago before he aged 60 yrs from diabetic coronavirus shock
It's the version that needs the 3d goggles so that you can really see Rawhead Rex's semen in its full glory
Art removed?
What are they talking about?
Neil Breen is still the focus of this episode.
Some of the Rawhead Rex artwork they showed in the previous upload caused the artist to issue a DMCA takedown.
One of the tattoos?
@@HHKelevra Wow. Talk about petty
I’d have asked RLM to add a prominent link to buy the comic.
Nameless Jedi ah, what a prominent link!
Only we few who were here early will remember the infamous ART REMOVED fiasco
I'm so lost... can you remind me what the art removed thing is about?
@@nspinicelli it was the title of this video in the first five minutes after it was uploaded before they changed it
@@nspinicelli They got a copy-rite take-down because they apparently had art from Rawhead Rex in the video at one point so this is the re-upload of that video with the art removed. At least that's what I gather.
Lol I didnt even know it was taken down. I watched the first version as soon as it came out so I was unaware
@@RavensRift First few seconds I thought they were now hiding out from the riots... Then things started to seem very familiar...
Mike has stored the removed art in his "depressing artpartment."
I like to think he's the landlord of the artpartments
One of the mannequins is wearing a Freddy Freaker shirt!!
Peter, Freddy Freaker is in our living room!
jesuschristdeargodanythingbuthim
NOW THE FREAK IS KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR
It's sonic in the real world, dude
@@jordancarreker1345 roach dogg!!!! (jr)
Im so glad that image was removed. I'd really hate if my art was shown for 2 seconds in a lengthly 54 minute video about movies.
Doesn't matter if the image was used for illustrative purposes (undoubtedly fair use), that artist was so oppressed and the DMCA system is definitely not broken.
Highly doubtful the artist knew anything about this, stuff like this is generally the publisher, who wants to make sure they don't accidentally spread the word or maybe gain new fans.
Future Landfill he knew about this... he tweeted about it something like “hey guys I’m asking for a friend what should I do if a popular youtuber stole my work?” And all the replies were like take them to court, sue etc.
It's not a good look for the artist but it's technically not fair use, because they're not reviewing/commenting on the illustration, they're just using it to illustrate their point. In principle they should create their own, or use concept art from the production (which I don't think it was?)
"This weird website called 'Google' stole my art and put it in their 'images' section! Google didn't draw that; I did!"
Neil Breen is the finest actor , writer , director , producer , of his generation !
You're 5 times as right as you think you are.
He is also the finest prop master, special effects animator, set designer, and composer
I love how the mannequin with the Freddy Freaker shirt looks like Chris O' Neill
wow freddy freaker is REAL
He came to the real world like ccaca
forgot which channel I was watching for a second
lmao i thought the exact same thing when i watched the episode back in may, it’s probably because of the smiling friends episode with mike in it!
It seems today, is all you see, is Freddie Freaker dancing on your tv
The first four minutes here are simply legendary.
This video has aged so well, lol. I love that Neil Breen's Wikipedia page shows him chuckling with his eyes closed.
First they take down Gone with the Wind and now Half in the Bag. Will Rich Evans at least do a 10 minute monologue about the historical context of Half in the Bag and how we must be better.
Better ten hours.
Better Jay. With esoteric references.
Every time I see a a RLM notification I hope it’s Care Boars 2, I’ve been disappointed for more than a decade now.
Just like Mike’s father
Been disappointed for about four
Who removes Art?? He was great on Night Court!!
That’s no Bull.
@Rex Warden Our father who is Art in heaven
This video makes me so happy like this is one of the ones ive watched 50 times
24:00 That's where the Neil Breen appreciation part starts!
I'm re-watching this since it was taken down.
I'M DOING MY PART!!!!
Ok, so I really need to see the buildings Neil Breen designed as an architect.
@@ZERO_O7X They definitely have thatch roofs, whatever else they are.
Just like him.
In the background of Breen's living room shot you can see a rear projection TV from 1999... he's definitely crazy
Mike & Jay both rocking the quarantine beards really dates this video in the best way
The hard cuts to Orson Welles trashing his room slayed me.
Neil Breen once tweeted about the fact that there is no authorised Neil Breen merchandise. Guess what someone did with the tweet? Turned it into a t-shirt!
53:05 I like to imagine "You gotta wear pants in the bar." is something Mike only learnt through personal experience.
watching this intro a year later is hilarious.
Its so good in 2021. When I want to look back at what pandemic era satire was like during corona, these half in the bags are gonna be a goldmine.
@@bronzeager1298 yeah, seeing the "it's been a FEW MONTHS" state of mind now (The Omicron Era for future chroniclers) is like "oh honey....."
Rawhead Rex the short story is amazing. Really nihilistic and atmospheric. Great writing by Clive Barker.
Any episode that ends with them ripping the set completely apart is pure enjoyment. Takes me back to Gorilla Interrupted.
The opening bit is a great encapsulation of how the early period of the pandemic felt, it was like the world was ending and nobody knew what the right thing to do was or what was going on
Can we all sit back and bask in the glory of the intro to this vid? I've watched it dozens of times.
Judging by the change in facial hair, Mike and Jay aged about two weeks during the Neil Breen retrospective. Such power cannot be wielded by any man. Only Neil Breen can harness time.
Mike saying “Is that piss or cum?!” in a bad Irish accent still lives rent-free in my head 3 years later.
Jay and Mike both look good here. I mean besides Mike having the aesthetic of a drifter with nothing to lose.
For those who missed the original video, it featured a 30 minute long torture porn sequence in Plinkett's dungeon.
Calling "art" something that vile, scatologic and mentally scarring, especially for poor Susan/Jay, is a bit of an odd stretch.
Didn't know Rawhead Rex was considered so obscure, it seemed to me to be at least somewhat known as video shlock.
Also fun fact; the German DVD sports the advertising line "Lean back and let yourself too be christened by Rawhead Rex's hot stream of piss"
Yep, sounds german
Pisswasser. thanks Dragonball Z abridged for teaching me German.
Guess the wide shot helped after all.
Tennessee has Donald Farmer, Nevada has Neil Breen, and Arizona has Deuandra T. Brown. What true leaders we have living among us mere mortals. 👏🤦♀️
I like to think that Breen is actually one of the best actors out there, and the role hes playing is the director who makes awful films but thinks they are masterpieces.
If so he is a true master of his art.
Now UA-cam is recommending me Rawhead Rex. I’ve never even heard of this movie and I’ve read a bunch of Clive Barker so thank you.
Neil Breen is truly a fascinating man. I really have to see one of his movies some time.
I'm sorry you guys ran into copyright trouble. You're easily my favorite review channel on UA-cam!
I clapped when I got the notification!
I KNOW WHAT THAT IIIS
Ditto
I'm going to come?
RLM uploads a new video, the lights go out, and I start to see things I recognize
Neil Breen! I'm gonna c u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u mmmmmmmmm!
The little boy is played by the Irish actor Hugh O Connor, he played the young Christie Brown in My Left Foot a few years later. I think he's still acting today.
2022 here. The intro predictions were all spot-on. The scientists should listen to these guys!
Literally 8 months later and this is still the best COVID take to date.
Thanks for being a time capsule of awful early pandemic days were like.
That’s all I was thinking about too lol
I was looking at the number of toiler paper rolls and thinking ''SUCH WEALTH!''
I miss it tbh.
This remains my favorite episode for a great many reasons. Good time capsule of what the pandemic was like lol
I hate to say it but...
Is “tiger” replacing “lion”?
That was the best opening to any RLM video I have seen.
It takes a real genius to analyse a bad film and a bad film director's work and understand that they are bad. You guys are doing real, meaningful, outstanding work.
I would bet money that the next movie Neil Breen makes will include three main villains who are cartoonishly evil and look suspiciously like Mike, Rich, and Jay.
herd mutiny yessssss!
The fact that you watch RLM is wonderful.
Ayyy gb!
I always knew that my herd would one day rise up and destroy me. I just didn't expect the Coof to be the catalyst.
Space Mutiny (BOTW EP24).
My favorite parts are when Mike keeps calling the tiger a lion, and they had to fix it by dubbing his voice over it.
A few videos from the beginning of the pandemic have come up recently and I’ve had to switch them off. They all triggered some kind of PTSD. Not this though. The way you guys approached this whole thing was awesome.
