Well I've heard these guys call a teen aged boy a "pervert" just for liking attractive mature grown women in one of these movies, and complaining about an attractive woman taking a bath in another movie, and hot fit young women in scanty garb in another. I'm getting a very strong impression that THIS bunch are either closet religious puritans or feminist homosexuals, .. . so which one is it?
Plinketto Fun Fact! The right corner (the slot Rollergator is in) hasn't ever been landed on in Plinketto history. Only once has the left corner been picked (Episode 1, Dr. Butcher) and that was selected with the puck, not the ball. This is largely due to design flaws and the jagged edges making it unlikely to ever be reached. Also, the board was not built to hold DVD boxes as they are larger than VHS boxes and because Rich Evans is a hack.
And the probabilities for where the ball ends up follows a normal distribution that centers the point where the ball is dropped (Also demonstrated in one of the Vsauce channels somewhere). So, since it's not uniformly random, it is more likely to end up somewhere beneath where you drop the ball.
yo forgot to mention Rich added that strip of wood above the videos, that's why the left and right slots are now covered, when it was a puck there was no strip of wood, the puck landed on the videos. That is why they've never hit them, really has nothing to do with Vsauce mentality and probability.
I had an idea to redub the laugh track to the Bicycle Store episodes of Diff'rent Strokes with Rich's laugh just to see if it was made more uncomfortable.
The joy that Jay shows when another person is around who knows his obscure ass horror movies is awesome, as well as Mike and Rich's confusion at wtf they are talking about.
Mike and Rich have Star Trek. Everyone needs a friend who loves the same kind of movies you do. I would definitely be that person for Jay, when I get to be on the Show ;) Can't Wait!!
See how out of place Mike feels when Jay and Simon talk about random horror movies? Now he knows how everyone else feels like when he starts talking about Star Trek.
@@ninjaturtlefan2003 - The Care Boars Save Christmas was an early, early Red-letter Media animated project. Well before the Plinkett reviews or Feeding Frenzy. It also happened to be the first thing on their playlist when Red-letter Media was on Blip, meaning that every time you finished the latest Half in the Bag or Best of the Worst, Care Boars would auto-play afterward.
Does anyone else re-watch these knowing full well what videos are going to be landed on but are still disappointed that it didn't land on a different one?
Fun Fact! At 11:20 you can see in the music credits one "Mark Mancina". Mark Mancina is nowadays a rather well-known movie composer, who wrote the music for such films as Disney's Moana, Brother Bear, Tarzan, Lion King (Alongside Hans Zimmer), and Speed. According to his discography, Mankillers was his earliest credit, but he worked a lot with David Prior in the 1980's, helping to write the scores to 5 of his films during the decade, including Future Force, which was also featured on Best of the Worst, and while not directed by David Prior, the Mancina-scored Space Mutiny also appeared on the series. It just goes to show that even if you start out working on absolute crap, you can still make it big.
Simon seemingly having quiet flashbacks to Blair Witch while Rich complains about people wandering around the woods in low budget horror films was amusing.
It's always interesting when you open the video and don't recognize the guest. It either means they're some sort of sex pervert or that they're a real celebrity.
Everyone is talking abt the new guy Simon. Am I the only one who realized they finally fixed the broken lightbulbs on their “Best of the Worst” sign? They spent money on the lightbulbs and not the leaking roof? Least we know where their priorities are.
The Beverly Sebastian thing seems pretty interesting. From what I can tell the greyhound rescue home was a passion project and legitimate endeavor/company (most greyhounds are bred as racing dogs and then killed once their careers are over). She simply wanted to house them and give them medical care until they were adopted. The potential boycott was simply due to a case of her being overwhelmed with the sheer number of dogs that needed help - she and Ferd were broke and in need of supplies, the kennel was too small (for over 300 abandoned dogs!), the summer heat was brutal, and many of the dogs already had severe injuries and infections upon arrival. However, the boycott never actually happened because the protesters realized the Sebastians weren't at fault. In fact, they were the only ones attempting to do the right thing (it seems to be a typical case of a small number of disgruntled virtue signalers who were uninformed). Most of those dogs ended up being adopted immediately thanks to an outpouring of community support. Bev also started a partnership with the DOC that saw the dogs used as support animals for convicts, allowing both people and animals to rehabilitate each other and serve the community. As of 2012, at least 7000 dogs have found permanent homes under the Sebastian's watch. This has been your BotW P.S.A. ...Oh yeah. Great episode guys!
Your anti-virtue signalling virtue signalling fanfiction lacks the part where their greyhound rescue was so awesome that the Government of the Internet decided to honor Ferd and Beverly by allowing them to use their own custom domain system which includes commas.
Y'know, I was genuinely charmed to see the modern day versions of the locations that were used in The Pit at the end. That sort of thing is so fascinating to me.

cole slaw to be fair, I think the teenage boy spying on the grown women and blackmailing one into taking her top off by claiming he had kidnapped her niece, was what ultimately made him a pervert. If he just noticed girls and looked at them or whatever that’d be one thing
I swear Rich has a sixth sense for shitty movies. He always calls the end, he spots trends among them and he always seems to actually remember most of it
@@lucassalomon3144 it's not always Rich and I think they rarely (if ever) watch the films all the way through. Jay mentions checking one video and stopping as soon as he saw David Carradine hanging himself. Also a couple times the film turns out to either not play or not be in the case at all. Also there's been a few films they just stop watching the movie because they're not fun at all, which if they'd already seen it they'd know. Basically, I doubt they actually vet films that much.
I have a copy of the book 'Teddy' (the novelization of 'The Pit', under it's original title, by... John Gault?! That has to be a pseudonym) and... it's a story that works considerably better as a book. It plays more with the 'reality or fantasy' element until the end, and it has more of the ending I felt the film should have had (the girl pushes the boy into the pit, -then- has a conversation with the left behind Teddy, who talks to her and starts making promises). The film is a weird mess, and the book is too, but the pacing of the novel shows what the film potentially could have been.
I don't know anything about that writer but I'm assuming they're an asshole that goes on nonsensical rants for pages on end, endorsing an ideology that would bring back feudalism built on blood and suffering.
@@aerthreepwood8021 No doubt that's what you're "assuming", just like I'm assuming you assume much the same thing for every bit of published work that you haven't read. Which would be, I'm assuming, almost everything.
The Pit was originally supposed to be a psychological thriller based on an actual autistic child. The child, in real life, when confronted by someone they didn't like would describe how their stuffed teddy would come to life and viciously shred the person to pieces. Then the child would never acknowledge the "victim" again because they were "dead" in his world. The author wrote a pysch horror about a similar teenager that would have monsters kill any of his rivals at school. It was left up to the audience if it was real or fantasy until the end, and apparently was a really good script. A studio snapped it up, and handed it to a director. In the meantime, The Evil Dead released and rocked the box office. So all studios were aping the horror comedy formula to try and get some of that money. The director rewrote the script into a horror comedy about a pre teen throwing people into a pit for laughs. The script writer quit in protest. After filming was done, the studio watched the film... And it was so bad they fired the director on the spot. They rehired the script writer to edit the existing footage to try and salvage something, and so we get this abortion of a movie.
The overuse and unessary use of the word "genuinely" is extremely outputting. Your own sentence implies that other things on RU-vid that come out, you get excited for but are being fake. Congratulations.
Simon playing the staight man really pulls the show together while letting Mike and Rich provide the over the top entratainment they excell at. This is one of the most balanced BOTW episodes, great job!
That Blair VVitch joke was just about the most savage thing I've seen outside a nature documentary. EDIT: and hey, seems like Star Trek was good for something after all.
Max who? I asked around Hollywood and no one's ever heard of him. I almost forgot even asking, since most of those conversations were steered towards Max Headroom.
Trust me boys you DO NOT want roller gator. It is not fun or interesting and has one of the most maddeningly horrible "scores" ever put to film. You will regret it. Should be a great episode!
The director of that movie is obsessed with women on rollerskates. He made a bunch of movies in a series called _Roller Blade Warriors._ I saw _Roller Blade Warriors: Taken by Force_ and it was painfully boring and annoying. It was one of the most miserable movies I'd ever seen, worse than _Nukie._ _Rollergator_ is an order of magnitude worse. I did find one thing kind of endearing about _Rollergator,_ though. The lead actress was clearly ventriloquizing the gator throughout the movie, and the way she handles the puppet has me convinced that it's *her* puppet. She *loves* that thing. It's kind of cute. It's kind of too bad that they dubbed over the gator's lines, I'd have liked to hear her ventriloquism.
Some-What famous Simon Barrett enters Some-What infamous RLM Studio. Who will make it out alive? Find out on this exciting episode of Best of the Worst.
I was so impressed with them finding the locations that I was half-expecting them to find the pit, or at least, the spot in the woods where the pit _was._
I have rewatched every BOTW multiple times and I have literally ZERO memory of this one. What a treat to find out something from 5 years ago is brand new to me...I'm sure everyone cares a lot.
The ending sequence where they visit all the locations from The Pit and show how they've changed over the years was super cool. Must have taken a lot effort to find all of those.
Simon really took the lead in the entire conversation, but I thought it was great. He's pretty funny and makes great points. Hopefully the guys have him back some time for more schlock
It can be a literal pit and still be allegorical. The writer probably had some troubled relationships or something, and this is a reflection of that view. Essentially, the kid luring these people into the pit, who seem completely oblivious to it being right in front of them, combined with off-putting sexuality in the film, paints a picture of romantic relationships with heavily skewed power dynamics, favoring the abuser at the expense of a lonely individual who carelessly lets themselves be vulnerable to someone who is superficially kind, but has ulterior motives. The victims never see the pit right in front of them, just as a person in an abusive relationship ignores obvious warning signs because they're so desperate to believe the lie being sold to them. The boy, after having betrayed those close to him, and being left with nothing (additionally since the inhabitants of his pit have been killed), he is all too willing to fall for the same trap he had previously set out for others. He too, would rather believe in the lie that he is cared about, that acknowledge that this was just a ploy at their expense for the victim's satisfaction.
Goodbadflicks has a really interesting video about this movie. The script was about the psychological trauma of an 8 year old boy. It was supposed to dive into his fucked psyche and all the monsters were supposed to only exist in his mind. They needed a Canadian director and then some hack came along and changed almost everything. I would honestly love to see the original script as a movie it's sad we ended up with that end product.
For the record, I was rooting for you guys to find RollerGator way back in 'Christmas or Crocodile.' Sigh. ...I hope you watch it someday.... The best part of the episode was wiping the exact modern-day locations from The Pit.
