- Mike and Jay are back for another Mike and Jay Talk About video where Mike and Jay talk about the movie Dinner in America, a punk rock coming of age suburbia dystopian love story. This is an addendum to our Half in the Bag Kyle Gallner triple feature extravaganza!

I appreciate Rich. He just sits there and lets the other talk.
Ya for a second I thought rich was that gremlin they had in the back but then I saw him in the chair lol 😅
lol you're replying to the wrong video
The exact opposite of Burnt Chrysler.
Rich is not in this video, you're thinking of Jay
@@vaethe_w You don't even know their names haha
Kyle Gallner should be the guest in the next Junka episode.
Who?
Unfortunately he doesn't do podcasts....
This is so far from a podcast 😂
@@Trig242Not according to Patrick Stewart
@@Maqz22 Oh myyy!
I stopped watching this video 10 minutes in to watch the movie and it's fantastic.
Haha me too
Same, ordered the dvd, watched it and now I’m back😅
@@stanjuice SAME!
Yep, same.
i doubt im the only one that use RLM reviews as movie recommendations
not that i reeeeaaaaally liked it
I got 10 minutes into this video and had to go watch the movie, and I absolutely loved every minute of it. It might be my favourite movie in years.
I did the same. Didn't disappoint.
Same here. One thing they got close to but didn't really seem to notice was Simon having a New York accent. I think the New York band was a challenge to his phony persona.
Also, I think the implication of Patty is that she is overly medicated and not just a Gump character.
Likewise. It's got some of the best lines I've heard in a longtime. A really intelligent comedy. "How comes you clam up everytime I talk about fucking?" *chef's kiss*
@@TH-zl6jz Was she on the spectrum, or is she joking when she asks about cumin?
I’ll always remember Kyle Gallner as “that guy that is the same size as Jay”.
Who?
@@playedout148 that guy who's the same size as Jay

Nice little fact: I programmed this movie for our local movie theatre when it came out (indeed in The Netherlands), and never would have thought that my mother - who's in her 80's - would go and see this, and she liked it! lol
That's so sweet!
This is quite possibly the sweetest and most wholesome comment to ever grace a Red Letter video.
Where in the Netherlands? What theatre?
Makes sense, this was giving me Flodder or New Kids vibes 😅
Sure, totally happened
I just watched Dinner In America based on this video and I'm so glad I did. Its one of the most bizarrely wholesome films I'd seen in a long time and we had to pause more than once because we were all in stitches. Thanks for bringing this gem to my attention because I would have never seen it otherwise!
Mike "Doesn't play video games" Stoklasa: *casually namedrops erotic Sierra adventure series*
To be fair, he was relying on Rich's explanation when Mike "runs this company like a star trek trivia LOSER" Stoklasa had to ask him about his own line
that name drop wasn't casual at all, he was strugglin
Are you sure the phrase "Leisure Suit Larry" didn't exist before the game, and that the game is named after a common phrase?
the game was sort of a big deal though, he probably is just aware of its existence
I'm sure Mike played the original back when he was in his 50s. But now he's waaay too old for video games.
"I showed up, but then i never showed up again" - Jay being a Vitaliy Versace actor
"Where's Ivan at?"
"He's out on a date or something."
"Oh SHIT!"
Addicts will not only chew pills but crush and snort them as well. Chewing the pill will cause it to dissolve faster and work quicker, especially if it's a timed release type pill. Good to see Mike is clearly not an addict and does not hang a round addicts.
Good thing alcohol isn't a drug...glug, glug, glug!
When I was abusing Lortabs a decade ago I would chew em up for this reason. The chalky bitterness actually ends up tasting weirdly sweet by association because your addicted ass is about to feel that warm euphoric codeine. Even now if I chew acetaminophen it tastes sweet-ish.
@@Burn7yeah it’s wild how your brain will tell you that the grossest tasting thing in the world actually tastes pretty good because it knows you’re about to get a nice dose of happy.
I'm not going to contribute to this discussion. I am a recovering addict. Not like "oh I had a problem" like I OD and died multiple times. Anyways I did chew pills at times but it's a bit different and not like seen in movies. It was also for a specific type of pills. Once you start slamming .. you know I said I wasnt going to contribute...
You don't really chew them. I can go into this very deep. Time release/ extended release pills aren't always beaten by chewing them. For example the OP80s which are extended release oxycodone 80mgs. Chewing them does nothing. They are like chewing gum. The time release is not based on a coating it's the material itself.
Watched this movie based on RLM’s recommendation and absolutely loved it. No joke, this is a tour de force performance from Gallner. Also the most genuinely romantic movie I’ve seen in a long time.
One of the things I absolutely LOVE about RLM is when they post something like this about something I've never heard of. I immediately stop the YT vid and go watch the movie and come back to see their review. 10/10 I always love EVERYTHING they recommend!
I'm committing time theft at work for this
Time theft is good and based. Work slower.

I learned yesterday ,when I was 15 ,that isn't a real crime. They can't do crap! No cap, on god !

Rich Evans should star in time cop 2 and bust your ass
Also Rich Evans doing the splits between two ice cream trucks
Excuse me i need to go write a screenplay
The concert promoter is David Yow, singer from the influential punk band The Jesus Lizard.
Awesome! Great band
Looking for this comment 😂
David Yow is a great performer. I think Jesus Lizard is more like jazz. Scratch Acid is another one.
I had to ctrl-f to see if anyone else realized this
Good to know.
This movie was awesome. Kyle Gallner bonafide grade-A actor confirmed
I am 43 year old father of 2 and I only have time to watch approximately 5 movies a year. Following this video I have watched Dinner in America twice in the past 48 hours. Thank you.
Have you seen the This is England Miniseries? Changed my life!
You are terrible at time management
Ah, Mike pulls out another written list and you now it’s gonna be a classic.
The last one of these I watched was their review of Midnight Mass on Netflix, and let me tell you, they were absolutely right. Binged the entire thing in one weekend and it's one of the best shows I've ever seen.
@@RacheltheRad - how embarrassing
@@jukeboxfandango You'll wanna watch a great new series watch Kin Irish crime drama 2nd season already getting near Breaking Bad levels.
While these "Talk About" videos may not garner as many views as your other videos, they're some of my favorites you do. I seek out all the movies/shows you cover and they're always great watches.
yeah i was thinking the same thing. Checked out Kid Detective based on a 'talk about' video and loved that too. Just started watching this and I keep snorting with laughter.
Completely agree. I know I'm in the minority on this one, but I much prefer RLM videos where they talk about what they like vs. rip on what they don't. And after watching this I definitely want to see the movie now.
Same here. I would probably never have known about or watched Red Rocket if they didn't cover it.
Same. They usually review boring modern Hollywood tripe that I don't care about or absolute trash over on Best of the Worst.
I like their taste in movies so these videos and Re:view are great for getting reccomendations.
They Gallner many views
I bought this movie on UA-cam because of how much the guys talked it up and damn I'm glad I did. Get this movie more eyeballs.
Watched this review, watched the movie, re-watching this review again.
This is one of the only channels where I'll click a video with subject matter I know nothing about and am not grabbed by the title/thumbnail, simply because I know if they're talking about it, it's worth hearing about.
"He just got home from Daredevilin'" is a line I wish I could use more regularly in my life from now on.
You are now Daredevil.... fly
It's Daredevilin' time.
Nobody's stopping you. Don't let your dreams be dreams.
Thank you, always enjoyable.
Chewing pills can them work faster. Pills for conditions, chewing them might make them ineffective l
I clicked on this thinking they were going to talk about dinners in america. I seriously would listen to these guys talk about anything.
This got me to watch the movie and boy am i glad it did. When it was over, i immediately wanted to watch it again back-to-back, which is almost unheard of for me. I think this might become one of my all time favorites.
I've heard Rich Evans called "wooden" before but his stoicism in this video knows almost no bounds.
David Yow, genuine punk rock legend is the premotor. He was in under the silver lake too.
I just rented this off the recommendation and I have to say its the best film I have seen this year so far. Thanks RLM!
Dont you think the movie is very marxist?
Emily Skeggs ftw. I loved her face acting for Patty. And how amazing was Watermelon? Great recommendation, guys.
I'm hoping for a Kyle Gallner guest spot on Best of the Worst in 2024
I feel he’s independent enough where this is a strong possibility.
That'd be pretty badass
That'd be pretty tits
If they got Patton Oswalt and Jack Quaid, they can get him
Same exact. Having KG (not Kevin Garnett) on BOTW (not Breath Of The Wild) would be dope
29:41 clearly Mike has never been a pill addict lmao
That's not a bad thing, it's just that people absolutely chew pills
Not even crackheads are that degenerate
Good to know alcoholism and Star Trek are Mikes only addictions.
Lol absolutely. While far from the ideal intake (For everyone I knew, anyways) people would absolutely chew pills especially if they're in a pinch and need a faster ontake (& haven't moved on to snorting/smoking/etc)
Similarly lots of people...including formerly myself...who were frequently hungover would even chew shit like IB Prufen/Excedrin/etc just to get functional before work
@@Riley-nq3tc Taking pills while laying on your right side doubles their dissolution rate. Try that next time.
I actually wound up watching it because I was tasked to create the poster art (keyart) for the film! And it's one of my all time favorites now. Thank you guys so much for bringing this to light so others may see!!!
It's funny that Jay and Mike act like "selling out" just means "making money", when they should know full well what it is. Selling out is when you compromise your principles (or have no principles) in order to make money. The Nerd Crew is a parody of sellouts. Not selling out is putting up a video talking about a Kyle Gallner film for 30 minutes because you love it.
Shit fugazi was only playing shows with a $5 cover back in the day. Makes sense to me that you'd have some bands content with playing smaller gigs, there is a more personal element to it
I watched this movie in 2021 in a movie theater with like 20 other people. I had no idea what I was going for, I've never left so utterly surprised from a screening. Such a good movie, you could feel that the whole audience had a blast.
Kyle Gallner is a treasure.
I was waiting for them to review this since first extravaganza.
That's David Yow from The Jesus Lizard as the concert promoter! The character might be cliché, but he also brings a ton of punk cred with him!
for a solid moment i thought jesus lizard was name of terrible terrible low budget movie. then i read the whole sentence, then for next 10 mins, i laughed my ass off. (terrible band name)
@@abhishekparmar6702 The name rules and the band rules.
You guys really missed the joke. David Yow was basically the Les Grossman of the movie.
Yeah they really missed that. David Yow is a legend. No bands like Scratch Acid or Jesus Lizard.
@abhishekparmar6702 the Jesus Lizard is an actual kind of Lizard. They run over water. You seem fun.
Just watched the whole thing. Shockingly life affirming and heartwarming for how it starts.
Just watched this movie on Hulu today. Was really good, thanks for pointing it out!
FINALLY!!! Been singing this film's praises for two years, so glad you guys loved it too!
Very quotable film, some perfect oneliners.
"I don't like the sound of this New York Militia music", reminds me so much of this older woman I worked with at a service industry job a decade ago.
She once complained about playing "Here Comes the Sun" over the speakers.
Me: "You don't like the Beatles?"
Her: "I don't listen to Acid Rock!"
I'm a musician and 80's punk fan and ain't seen this movie yet. But I'm gonna just for that lol.
I once worked with a woman who referred to Nickleback as industrial.
@@rhinocore Was she Chad Kroeger's hair dresser? Man imagine being Chad Kroeger in 2029 your old as fuck, dying alone in a decent flat cause he's not a big spender. And you can't even play your own music back to yourself cause your obsessed with NIN's. Thats a movie right there.
Any time you drop a Mike and Jay Talk About I watch the film immediately, rest assured. I loved this one and I agree that if it came out in like the late 90's or early 2000's it'd be considered a classic at this point. Definitely a movie out of time for 2024.
I saw this about a year and a half ago, and I loved it. I've spent that time trying to convince my friends to watch it, but they've been reluctant for some reason. I'm glad you're showing it the love it deserves.
Your thoughts are my thoughts upon first seeing it: It's one of those indie comedies that used to be everywhere in the 90s but nobody makes anymore.
I loved every stupid second of this movie.
You guys say it'll get less views but tbh I always appreciate the variety and consistency rlm brings. Y'all always have something interesting to show.
They would get more views if they used a more clickbaity title, like: Mike and Jay discuss underrated classic.
I love when parents share their interests with their children. That baby is enjoying real quality time with his dads instead of just watching endless Cocomelon on an iPad, and that's just fantastic!
That's not their baby! That's Collin from Canada!
@@driftless7134Jesus you’re blind that’s clearly Rich.
@@23kurtzyRichie rich?
You mean Susan? No, Mike was talking to her.
Went and watched this as soon as I finished this video, easily the most I've laughed consistently through a movie in years.
I watched your video, searched for Dinner In America and noticed this masterpiece costs only 4 bucks. I bought it - twice, because the film fucking deserves it. 🥰🤪
Kyle Gallner is genuinely terrifying in Dinner in America. This was also my Introduction to him. It was supposed to be in certain Cinemas here in Germany as well but as Mike said, ended up only in Theaters in the Netherlands.
I hope Kyle Gallner gets the Praise and Attention he deserves, i think he'd also be great in a Scorcese-type Crime Movie
Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
I just picture the director yelling "Quieter! Slower! Less intense!"
Grüße aus Lübeck. :)
Beware camping inside inviting looking valleys in the Alps. Some of those places are cool air sinks and can be warm during the day but at night reach temperatures colder than any peak in the mountains. It could kill you. Just something I learned recently.
@@fromthedumpstertothegrave3689 "Kyle, you need to take it down a notch."
@@zarreff yeah there is one air sink who has what we call Siberian Nights.. its mind blowing
Not to be confused with 'Breakfast in America', Supertramps greatest album.
It's actually in the same cinematic universe....
Don't sleep on Crime of The Century, if you're wanting a bit more of the prog rock Supertramp... But man it's hard to go wrong whatever album you go with
Not to be confused with ‘Lunch in America’ too, which is what i did a few hours ago
Nor Trout Fishing in America, a 60s novel by Richard Brautigan
Neither the 90s Albert Brook's film "Lost in America."
This movie has so many great actors in it. Kyle, Emily, Pat, Griffin, Hannah. More people should definitely see it!
Thanks for this movie recommendation guys. One of the best movies I've seen.
An all time classic video, I rewatch this every week.
Samesies
year, they looked so young in this days when they made the video.
Holy shit, I'm Dutch and I saw this in theatres. Didn't know I was in the only blessed country
was it at the RIalto on Ceintuurbaan?
@@dh6239 Kriterion volgensmij
The weird tech mix and overall atmosphere makes this movie feel like it takes place in the same alternate universe Detroit that It Follows does.
This is one of those videos which I stopped half way through and went to watch the movie, which I haven't done since the Bone Tomahawk Re:View, and like Bone Tomahawk Dinner In America has become an instant favourite. So thanks Mike and Jay and Talk About, mission accomplished!
I was expecting a discussion of food culture in the United States, an analysis of the social dynamics influenced by dinner time interactions, and a rundown of Mike and Jay's favorite menu items. I want my money back.
same
This movie is John Waters approved. I remembered Kyle Gallner was sharing the movie being mentioned in his 2022(?) favorites list.
The clips you’ve shown really evoke “Welcome To The Dollhouse” for me.
Thank you guys so much for spotlighting this gem of a film. Instantly shot up to among my favs and I would never have heard of it had it not been for y'all!
I appreciate you guys to much, for drawing my attention to obscure movies that I would have never known existed that are a hidden gem.
RLM is now a food review channel? Its about time!
They've done it before. Rich ate a burger in a car and behind a nerdy desk
It's about food, Shirley..
Now they need to crossover with Ralph Sepe/RalphTheMovieMaker talking Charles Styles, Mystery Dinners.
@@phillyskyguy9535 Don't forget about the George Lucas salad unboxing!
They were inspired by prolific salad afficianado George Lucas.
Its like The Cohen Brothers and David Lynch wrote a love story. its hysterical ,vulgar, and extraordinarily well written with phenomenal acting 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Wow, a SECOND RLM episode featuring Kyle Gallner! William Shatner is in a home somewhere, slurping soup, and cursing the gods he didn’t give these lads a fair shake.
YES! I saw this movie shortly after it’s Sundance release when they came to Ann Arbor. Got to see the cast and crew loving their movie :,). Saw it again when they came back 2 years later to celebrate its release. Just a great movie, thanks for highlighting it guys :):):)
Also it’s one of the only examples probably ever of a love story involving someone who is likely “developmentally disabled”. It goes a long way in humanizing people many of us subconsciously write off a subhuman, and whether or not that was a goal of the creators, it’s a beautiful aspect of the movie.
@@Cornintheskydude the more time you spend around mentally unusual or handicap folks..... They are a fucking blast and you will laugh harder and have more fun as you grow more comfortable being around them. To claim they don't do and say anything funny is just an outright absurdity. They do and say some of the funniest shit I've ever seen happen on this earth. Sometimes on purpose sometimes by accident.
The many I have got to know over the years and spent time around..... They feel the exact same way......
They don't want to be treated nicely, gently, or any different than you would treat anyone else. They want to be treated just like everybody else. If you're an asshole to most people in your day to day life, then be an asshole to them too. Because adjusting your behavior and attitude just because their brain is different from most folks..... They hate that shit.
Everybody tiptoes around them and it's been like that their entire lives. They don't feel like they have genuine interactions with people.
at least the ones that I've known and spent time around over the years......
I know its part of the gag - but I love how they start most videos like they're surprised to suddenly be on set. Like they've just manifested there and only exist in the videos.
Rich uncovers them and wheels them out of the closet..... Pulls tattered tarp off, and flips the remote startup switch.
And they spring to life..... Always pleasantly surprised he hasn't yet dismantled them and scattered their bits around the studio. But I try to keep a positive outlook. There's still time so i know Rich will pull through.... and score a point for humankind.
I'm glad that you guys still make videos for this series, knowing that the videos won't get as much attention as your others. I always enjoy them.
Watched this thanks to you guys and I'm OBSESSED. It was, in fact an achingly sweet romance and made me laugh and cry.
This movie had me in the intro immediately with the awesome editing synced to the bumpy electronic soundtrack.
It had me even more when I watched Kyle Gallner angrily walking around and it felt like a Little Big music video.
It sold me when he fights off the football kid with a turkey at the beginning.
And I was in love when he's on the date in the arcade to the tune of Mac Demarco, and at the same time it's revealed (by the employee's shirt) that they're at Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum
I hope jay's stunt double Kyle Gallner shows up in an episode soon as jay.
Fun fact: The concert promoter is a real life punk musician David Yow, lead singer of The Jesus Lizard. He actually adds to the punk nature of the film.
Immediately went and saw it. Awesome film!! Thanks for talking about it 💯
Most sports fans root for a football team, but like Jay, I prefer to root for the football game. Go game!
I really enjoyed this film and am about to hunt down the other two in your Gallner feature extravaganza; thanks guys! Can't remember the last time I finished (and liked) a movie as much.
Started this video and after 5 minutes or so I was interested in the movie. So turned this video off and went and watch it... loved it. Thanks for the great recommendation!
So glad you guys chose to check this out! An underappreciated gem. 👍
This episode sponsored by Kyle Gallner's mom
More so, his body double
this comment will never be seen but i like seriously need to thank mike and jay for this video, i feel like i had forgotten how fun movies could be (which says more about the movies i watch), like i feel like this movie rekindled my love of movies
Had to watch this movie after seeing this. Solid 8/10. As a punk rock fan, it definitely hit all the good spots. Love when you guys respect a movie like this. I'm glad it will get some recognition.
What a find this movie is
Kyle Gallner needs to be a guest now.
Thank you for mentioning SLC Punk. Was my favorite movie as a kid and it's still probably one of my favorites to this day
I remember hating that the main character ended up as a lawyer when I was a kid, but now I like it :)
I'd forgotten all about it. Absolutely rewatching it's been 10+ years, maybe 15

This made me watch Dinner in America and I can tell you its recommended for a reason. Really lovely film
I’ve watched this movie 3 times over the last 48 hours. Thanks Mike and Jay.
I WILL SEE MADAME WEB, AND I WILL LOVE IT
Dinner in America was the best film I watched last year, I was blown away. Excellent from start to finish.
For what it's worth, these videos are my favorite of yours, view count be damned. I can always feel the passion in these.
I sincerely appreciate you guys. I've been watching this channel for a very long time and I have really enjoyed every minute of it.
This is the greatest video I've ever seen today!!
Like a tongue tongue
In your eardrum dumb-dumb
I absolutely love this movie!
Adding to the chorus to thank you for bringing this to my attention. Watched it two days in a row and loved both watches just as much. Its gonna my new comfort movie for doing chores around the house. Every scene is a joy to watch even in isolation. Its so so good
So glad i watched this and then the film immediately. Best movie i've seen in awhile. It's like awkward and tense and angry but ultimately wholesome somehow.
Once again, I'm enjoying RLM talking about a movie I'll never see.
Just watch it
Yeah, I just sat down and watched it tonight and it was a ton of fun
See it it's so fun!
Thank you so much for reviewing this video. I’m autistic and found myself relating so strongly to Patty, I’m convinced she was coded autistic intentionally. My husband also related to the main character, saying that both characters are like ultimate exaggerations of what we both felt we were like as teenagers, before we met. The particular scene in the truck towards the end of the film made me sob, it felt so raw and genuine. This film is now one of my absolute favorites (we keep saying “take it down a notch” to each other) and I’m so flipping grateful we could discover it through your recommendation.
I also am autistic and completely agree about Patty. I can very much relate to Patty and her experiences.
Their little prop museum is pretty rad.
They need a Kyle Gallner action figure
2 things.
1, as a drug user myself, yes, people who do pills sometimes crush them up, not just to snort them, but to throw the powder in their mouth and down it as quick as possible. It makes the pill hit you faster, MUCH faster, but it doesnt last as long when done. Also, yes, it tastes like fucking shit and the aftertaste lingers (thus why I dont do it so much, breaking the pill in half does the same thing, for me at least, YMMV)
and 2. I swear to fucking CHRIST this movie is based on one of my old friends, or an amalgamation of my old friends group. I have lived in michigan for 40 years, the main guy in this movie reminds me of at least two of my old "friends" (all of them eventually fucked me over in the end. Live and learn.). We were all the "punk" types (I was the goth man out, still am to this day), and at least two of my old crew not only LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE this guy, but acted like him as well (without the whole "meet the girl, she tempers the anger" portion of it. That was actually ME, and again, sadly, it didnt work out in the long run...), right down to the fighting with everyone, burning shit down (thankfully I never got involved in THAT side of shit), selling/doing COPIOUS amounts of drugs, and being in multiple shit little bands and watching other shit little bands get big without them (taproot, bloodlined calligraphy and the black dahlia murder, specifically). Only difference is, my friends were a LOT more "punk looking" than this guy. Meaning way more tattoos/piercings and WAY more outlandish outfits.
This movie looks like it IS my early twenties. Makes me wonder if the director was a hanger on in our old friends group who eventually wrote what he knew and experienced first hand....
I came to this comment section to tell Mike personally I like the taste of tylonol bc of chewing oxys... but he wont listen 😢 Not even joking tho I used to Savor that shit
Watched this over the weekend and it was great, thanks lads
Thanks for everything Mel Brooks
Literally my favourite movie ever I'm so happy they talk about it 🎉
Because of Mike and Jay, my dad and I are big fans of our boy Kyle Gallner!
Thank you RLM for this tip. Watched the film immediately to afterwards unpause this video. Was one of better more fascinating films in the past many years. Wonder how many gems got lost during covid and where to uncover them.
This is the first time that I genuinely want to watch a movie after watching an RLM video about it.
Such a big fan of this movie, watched it twice in two days, I couldn't stop laughing the whole time
I literally screamed when I saw this video pop up in my notifications as one of the few who saw this in the theaters (shoutout from the Netherlands!) and has recommended this film to every soul that came my way!
I'm so happy to see this movie promoted even if it's by quacks like you
