In her memoires, Drew Barrymore's going to have a section about Never Been Kissed where she goes, "... And this guy created a continuity error because he and his buddy, a Rich Evans, refused to return for subsequent filming. It was the worst experience I ever had in my entire career."
@@ranspang haha, that's what I was thinking. If not her, there's a good chance someone close to her or someone working with her follows RLM. Imagine this story actually lands them on her show lmao
That anectode about Mike being sick while Drew Barrymore is sitting in a comfortable tent getting fanned by 6 aides is like listening to a super villain origin story.
I mean, he hates the elderly and tortures his friends with various types of games including a wheel and a giant Jenga. That sounds like a super villain thing to do.
@@dustygrooves4727 Wasn't that proven false? Julia Roberts did not have the fortune of meeting Rich Evans before his prime, and she only said she did to lay claim to the fame.
Remember that time Jay said they created spotlight edition to talk about movies at bigger length because they wanted to keep the regular episodes shorter? Thank god they seemingly stopped trying to keep them short.
waiting for them to parlay that + ‘Dick the Birthday Boy’ into an appearance on Drew Barrymore’s new daytime show. Gotta cash in those internet celebrity chips
I love how much effort must've been put into finding Rich Evans at the carnival in such a wide shot, and yet when you see it, it's so clearly him just by the way he's walking!
Mike's story about being an extra totally checks out. A few years ago I was an extra on that Jake Gyllenhaal movie Southpaw. They had me dress up in a suit and sit in a stuffy, poorly ventilated auditorium at my college's convention center with around 70-100 other people on a hot summer day from 8 am till about 10 pm. And they also fed us pretty terrible food, but since I was in college, I didn't care. Finally at 10 pm, they all called us into this other large auditorium where they had the boxing ring set up, and the director was like, "Okay, here's what you're going to do. You're going to wait three seconds for Jake Gyllenhaal to punch this guy out and as soon as the other guy hits the mat, you're all going to get up and cheer." They did about three takes of that before they called it a day. The worst part is even though I filled out all my paperwork and everything, they still didn't pay me for the day. Hollywood is a terrible, terrible place. Even when they're shooting in Pennsylvania.
@@Parasiteve The cost to sue them would be far well and away above the amount I actually was supposed to get paid for the shoot. Work as an extra is 100% purely at will. Yes, you have to sign some legal documents (mostly a bunch of CYA stuff for Hollywood), but what do you think it is? There's no unions, no collective bargaining, no representation. You're little more than cattle. Actors have agents to go up to bat for them. You have no one. In all honesty, you're far better off working some menial, humiliating job (like, I dunno, Arby's or something) because as much as that sucks, at least it's regular work. Or at least closer to it than work as an extra will ever be (most of the time). The truth is that being an extra is the biggest scam in the world. The production staff want you to believe that the real reward--the real payment you're entitled to--is the privilege of stepping onto a movie set. They want you to have stars in your eyes. It saves them money that way. But you don't need me to tell you it's not worth it: Hollywood "glitz and glamor" doesn't keep the lights on.
@Popputan I'm so sick of people like you wanting to redistribute Rich Evans's wealth. Just say you have a pro Bauman bias man it's not that hard. And the fact of the matter is, Rich Evans is a very charitable man who recently made a sizeable donation to SaveTheDodo.
@@andrewgwilliam4831 God are you dull. Everybody knows that Rich Evans is a top tier actor appearing in such films as "Never Been Kissed", "Revenge of Nadine", and yes, "Space cop" which may I remind you was a cherished rehash of the original. People like you think you know everything and judge Rich Evans, so sickening.
Honorable Men almost feels like a response from this creep after years of being hounded for his statutory rape charges and being kicked off the force. "Yeah, well, just wait until everyone sees my movie, where THE REAL story will be told!" "Those high school girls came on to ME, your honor! I've done nothing wrong! I'm an Honorable Men!"
I also super respect Jay's sheer outrage, at a couple points Mike seems to try to rein it in and Jay is not having it. Since I would probably have a similar response I really appreciate Jay's attempts to call it out for what it is
@@shamboholic I love Jay being the progressive, level-headed one of the bunch to balance out Rich’s role as the insane, politically incorrect (albeit endlessly lovable) gremlin.
Seriously his lifetime of incredible notoriety deserves so much more credit than it's gotten so far. Take note academy this is what real talent looks and shrieks like.
I mean like any movie riffing based show all things considered there has been a handful of good movies/diamond in the rough they get to see out of nowhere. Just At wide intervals, scarce lol. Roar 1981 comes to mind
I want someone to create an edit where Harrison Ford is doing the “enhance the photograph” scene in Blade Runner but is zooming in on Mike and Rich in Never Been Kissed.
Between the Mr. Bean segment, the Never Been Kissed story, and Mike pleading to consult with his best friend Rich Evans, this is the cutest and most charming episode of BOTW.
That was most definitely Rich Evans in that super wide shot. That's totally his "I'm not sure what to do, but I'll try to walk confidently while looking for Mike so we can get the hell out of here" walk.
I enjoyed the part where the Cobra attack helicopter A*P*E swats from the sky re-identifies as a Huey before it hits the ground. Something something, expectations.
"3:15am: Rich Evans seen wandering alone. He has lost his balloon" You'd be surprised at how many times this statement appears on police surveillance reports.
(Trailer guy voice) In a world, where a Schlub lusts after average college age girls but is old enough to be their grandfather, comes an opportunity for him to spend his life savings to make a movie to legally molest them.. “Allegedly: should’ve just bought a hooker, but these girls turn, him, onnnn”
"I'm a big tough cop, and all the women like me." In that reedy little voice Rich did absolutely kills me for some reason. Officer Ryan's Babe is such a creepy dweeb and that's exactly what he sounds like.
The story of Mike calling the people working on Never Been Kissed, and angrily announcing that he and his friend Rich Evans are not coming back (as work as extras), after being tortured for hours with a carnival ride, is absolutely hilarious.
Oh my god. I was a background extra in Honorable Men. Some extras were cast from local colleges (TCC and CNU if I recall right). I mean, as an 18 year old it all totally seemed legit, with real film cameras and boom mics and everything! Thankfully I’m uncredited; imagine having *that* follow you around the rest of your life. How embarrassing! 😅
Clearly why I didn’t get a more prominent role! A friend played one of the girls at the drug party. The director/writer/star was as big of a sex weirdo as you’d imagine, uncomfortably hitting on every girl he could corner.
To be fair, compared to some of the crap shown on BotW this looks like a professionally produced film. You have a SWAT team, a cast of dozens (of women), and competent cinematography. Would be easy to fall for as an extra. Then you look at the finished product and want to never see that director/writer/star again
Funny thing about Never Been Kissed: it’s a movie where a teacher falls in love with who he thinks is a high school student. So the fact that the honorable Ryan’s Babe goes to see it totally tracks.
Do you think the director said, "I'm looking for extras for a movie called Never Been Kissed" and the casting guy said, "Say no more, I have just the guys"
The director and star of Honorable Men being the brother of the director and star of The Satan Killer is a bigger plot twist than anything in Easy Kill.
I totally got a "Satan Killer" vibe from "Honorable Men", and to learn those guys are brothers makes me think that whole family should be investigated.
@@thecaptain4512 that movie had some sparks of genuinely fun schlock: ball cop, the final shootout, that stupid-looking tommy gun /shotgun hybrid called the street sweeper that the killer uses; those sparks did not produce a fire but they were there at least even though the movie (the quality of the video) looks like dog feces.
@@g.sergiusfidenas6650 And I didn't get a casually rapey, guy who pulls his GFs hair during sex and yells at her when she speaks out of line because he's the man of the house vibe from Satan Killer.
As someone who grew up in Hampton Roads, I can confirm the area is filled with "honorable men" who act just like them. I'd also like to ask everyone to take the "Spaghet Challenge" and contribute to the End VLDS campaign.
I feel like Mike and Rich’s names were put into a Hollywood Extras Blacklist database on the day of that phone call and this is why they’ve had to take their talents to Milwaukee to tear the industry down from the outside.
All jokes aside that's possible, i used to play an extra in commercials for years. Couple of times i answered them i couldn't come, never called me again
My first thought was "Enemy" I mean.... fucking ANYTHING starting with the letter "E" would have been better(or at least made A SHRED of sense....) Why not just change the title if you ca- Ah I've already put more thought into it than anyone who worked on it, so I'm moving on. Fuck it.
That moment when Rich makes the toy store joke, and Jay just dies laughing while Mike completely is unphased and keeps on talking might be one of the funniest RLM moments of all time
Mike has a small bell on his night stand which he can ring to summon Rich. Where does Mike keep him between filmings I wonder? Oh, and it'd be super awesome if someone could identify the song at 6:30
I love that moment between Mike and Rich at the end when they’re choosing the best of the worst. It felt so brotherly and lighthearted. Rich seems like the only person on this show who can make Mike die of genuine laughter and their chemistry brings some real joy into my life.
I like that at absolutely no point during Mike's "I told them that me and Rich Evans were never coming back" story does he say or even imply that he asked Rich Evans what he wants to do. Mike just straight up took Rich Evans off that film.
I think that was definately a time when Thin Blue Line culture was gestating so an uncomfortable vanity project by a cop isn't too much of a suprise to me.
Amidst all the normal jokes and usual ribbing of each other, and even with a slightly joking tone of voice, it's so wholesome to hear Mike say "I have to consult my very best friend of 25 years, Rich Evans."
The reason you're seeing so many Ape based RLM uploads is that Shakma did big numbers, and now the RLM suits are demanding more primates as a way to boost sales.
To add to the creepiness of Honorable Men, Garrett Stewart Sayre was a college instructor at Christopher Newport University at the time of filming. That scene in the classroom was probably his classroom at CNU. You can find his picture in the 1998-99 Christopher Newport University Faces on page 19 (20 for the digital copy).
Wow, what a perfect opportunity for this cretin to find and groom inappropriately young women. Can you imagine how many of the students there this creep had inappropriate encounters with? "Honorable Men" indeed.
@@AwsOm3Fac3 mostly "pedophile" , which could be considered slander and grounds for legal action if not censored. They also censored "seventeen" a couple times.
I didn't believe the guys but Garrett Sayre was legitimately 45 years old when Honorable Men was released. The fact that this below average-looking man needs to convince himself that women half his age want him is endlessly hilarious.
it starts with the balloon full of helium but as the series goes, it's the same balloon and we see it slowly die and Rich's laugh gets higher in pitch. A picture of the Showbiz Pizza Bear has to also be on the balloon.
Easy Kill was one of the notoriously bad "subsidy scandal" films made in South Africa in the 1980s where fly-by-night "producers" found loopholes in the subsidy system and exploited them and our local actors and crews.
I still think about "you take the good, you take the bad, you take the ape, and there you have the facts of life" when I'm having a bad day at work, it never fails to cheer me up
40:59 -- I never noticed how cute and excited they got when they heard they were going to "the old factory". Like a bunch of toddlers being told they were getting lollipops.
All that creepy-ass shit that Frank Stallone did and he was still only the second creepiest guy featured in this episode (third creepiest if you count Rich Evans)!
I do admit that there does seem to be bit of a different feelings when you go from talking to declaration voice. I notice myself making way more pronunciation errors if I have to raise my voice without yelling.
“He’s just too big for a small world like ours” ending tribute had me in actual tears. If this isn’t what they play when rich evans reaches the pearly gates it won’t be canon.
Looks like IMDB needs to add a few extra credits to *Never Been Kissed* Rich Evans as _the Lonely Lost Balloon Man_ Mike Stoklasa as _the Swinger_ Edit - Nice the RLM fans work fast! Was already added :)
I can’t wait til Jay gets to explain Demon Wind to the group as it cuts to the viewing and their bewildered reactions. Whoever is sending in their Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray’s deserves some praise as well. The Suckling episode was pure gold
I don't remember fuck all about Demon Wind except for the part where the main character turns into an elf. And a girl turned into a doll. Is that the movie or a nightmare i had?
The refrain of 'but Ryan is an honourable man' makes this sound weirdly like Mark Antony's funeral oration from Julius Caesar... But, like, if Brutus had been grooming high schoolers.
"Never Been Kissed" was released in 1999, so at least that part of the movie was shot five years earlier. Ultra-low-budget movies commonly have productions and post-productions that drag on for years, as the filmmakers pay incrementally with their day jobs.
Yea it looks like it was definitely shot in the 90s based on the cars, clothing, and even the look of the film stock. More likely the whole based off a real life cop in the 90s was just tacked on to justify the way it looks. Another dragged on productions that would be similar is Dangerous Men where it was shot and gone through post production for decades.
