www.redlettermediamerch.com We finally made it! We've wasted 100 episodes worth of our lives! To celebrate, we decided to do all our various movie-picking gimmicks all in one episode! Come join our misery.
I think anyone significantly autistic would also probably fail, something about forming a philosophy of mind rather than learning the art of the mind, a la Daniel Dennett
My thoughts exactly. Like I kinda expected a cop out, but am I the only one who wishes they didn’t go with another Neil Breen movie? I adore Breen, but idk
59:29 - "I can't believe you committed suicide. I can not believe you committed suicide. How could you have done this. How could you have committed suicide." It might come as a shock to some of you, but Neil Breen hasn't even taken acting lessons, can you believe it. I can not believe he hasn't taken acting lessons. I can not believe he hasn't taken acting lessons. How could he have done this. How could he have not taken acting lessons.
It's such a strange line delivery it almost comes across like it's supposed to be Neil suspecting that the guy didn't actually kill himself. He doesn't seem angry or shocked so much as legitimately confused.
She looks like a younger version of the mom from the Requim for a dream movie. I was waiting for her to put on the red dress and roam cold streets aimlessly
We still got off. That was the important thing. And who are you to say they weren't all actually ex Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders there with their twin sister and feeling lonely? I believe them
@@JimmyTwoTimesJimmyTwoTimes bro, so real; spending 30min downloading a 10MB zip file and praying to god no one picks up the phone and corrupt the file.
The fact that the last line from the funeral tape is a distorted, deep voice saying “there are many ways to pay for a funeral” is amazing. It’s literally out of a creepypasta.
I do believe it is because of what Mike said. Really quick thinking by him. Can you imagine what magnitude of news coverage would follow if one of the world biggest and most beloved stars was accused of being such a sex pervert? No one would talk or care about corona anymore and the virus ould spread. He probably saved millions of lives that way!
as someone who was homeschooled in South Carolina until 10th grade, them pulling out the SCAIHS tape is up there with the strangest moments of my entire life
@@murphy7801 not sure. it could be! most homeschooling families that we knew, through co-ops and other things, happened to be religious. that could just be selection bias, though.
The Victorian Computer ghost lesbian is based on early computer pioneer Ada Lovelace who worked on Babbage's Analytical Engine. She's called Ada Byron King here, which was her married name. Anyway, I hope this information is of some comfort the frumpy woman as she loses her job and spirals into psychosis. #EyesOnBreen
@@KrillLiberator That's not the line and it's not a euphemism. If you had only one phone line into your house any time someone would call it would disconnect your dial-up connection. It was a dark time before broadband.
BotW Episode 1: January 2013 BotW Episode 100: April 2021 100 episodes in 100 months, never noticed how consistent RLM is at cranking out top tier content
They publish a video like every week consistently, once I got into their content years ago I was expecting to catch-up to their most recent stuff and then be starved of content for months but they are incredibly productive which is odd considering their works have a consistent quality, if anything it surprises me it took them so long to get to the milestone of one million subscribers.
It took 100 episodes for me to realize that Neil Breen's 'film career' is his elaborate way of camouflaging a history of Google searches for "ways to make it look like my neighbor commited suicide".
At 32:40 When Jay and Mike said "This is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen" almost everyone is very suspiciously crossing their legs. I think it's safe to say the film moved them all in some way.
Neil Breen's character about the pills: "I don't need these, I'm not gonna take these anymore" I'm pretty sure that's how Neil Breen started his movie career
Shoutout to Ada (the old timey lady from the computer video) that girl was a revolutionary mathematician who created some of the earliest programing algorithms for Charles Babbage's analytical engine. She's essentially the mother of computer programming.
"Basic Computer Literacy" sounds like a Troy McClure film. "Hey there little Timmy! Did you know your computer is made of SAND? Don't you feel less scared now?"
I swear to God red letter media has such a cursed quality. It's like they deliberately made it so it's hard to remember which parts your mind made up. That bit where they smashed the Wheel again and Rich lamented is like watching a playback of a fever dream
I don’t know if it was deliberate, but the reference to Frankenstein while looking at the representation of computing pioneer Ada Byron-King aka Ada Lovelace was onscreen was a great connection. Ada was the daughter of Lord Byron, poet and friend to Percy Shelley and his wife Mary Shelley. And Byron was present on the night Mary Shelley presented her story on a stormy night on Lake Geneva.
The same Lake Geneva shoreline that bore witness to the Montreux casino fire which was immortalized in the song "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple, longtime friends and collaborators with Edgar Winter, whose eponymous group wrote the song "Frankenstein." Coincidence?
1:05:26 - woman scoops drugs out of the toilet to take. All at once: Rich - Oh NOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOO! Jack - No, no, no, no no. No! Jay - Don't Do It! Josh - She's going to do it. Oh, she's going to do it. Mike - DO IT!
The soft porn aspect of the first tape is definitely the full, supple sound of that mechanical keyboard. Nerds have been chasing that dragon of the perfect key switch ever since.
In this Neil Breen film none of the women wear a bra. Neil breen really likes having scenes where he has a press conference to let everybody know he's taken care of all the problems.
All jokes aside, I genuinely love everything these gentlemen have done over the years. They've brought us countless hours of laughter...that means everything in the world to me. Thank you Red Letter Media. You've made life slightly less crappy.
I am the proud owner of an 'original' Fateful Findings poster. I got it from a poster sale from a local theater that played it a few years ago. I put quotes around 'original' because what Neil sent the theater was a giant picture of the poster that was clearly printed at Staples for like 10 bucks. Allegedly, from what the guy who ran the theater told me, when the theater asked in an email if they could get a poster to promote the movie, Neil said he would "loan them" one, but they would have to send it back at their own expense. They said dealing with Neil was the most aggravating experience they'd ever had, he wouldn't allow it to be played past a certain time, and the theater was forbidden from using the words 'bad' or 'funny' to promote it. Now I own it, and it's truly one of my most valued possessions.
@@slayertakim1 And that's the one thing Neil Breen absolutely positively does NOT allow! His movies must NEVER be shown at midnight! They're like Gremlins.
It's only clever if he came up with it independently, which he probably didn't, since it's a pretty common play on the expression "girls gone wild" 😛 I still laughed, though.
The woman in the computer literacy video reminds me of the mom from Twin Peaks, I could see her screeching with primal fear at the reflection of Bob in her computer screen
If anyone has the ability to upload 4-line Conics, PLEEEEEASE do it. That would be THE BEST thing to fall asleep to. It would make all other ASMRs obsolete.

I doubt there's actually a lot of recordings of tape finally dying, so that was a beautiful thing to see. There's an episode of radiolab where they're talking about a composer who loops analog tape to make music. And then one his tapes die. I'd recommend listening to it. Let me find it. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/segments/161756-everythingnothing
@@maximpeshkov3377 Honestly, I'm just so impressed with how well they synthesized his voice. The fact that his laugh is so authentically Rich Evans proves that true AI exists.
The still image of the topless woman with the animation of the conics with the censor would look just like those vaporwave memes if it had some chromatic aberration
Conics are circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. They're called "conic" because by slicing a cross section through a cone in different ways you can form all 4 of these shapes. Not that this helps with the video. Not that this makes the video worth watching, but yes the round bits were the conics.
This episode should part of the National Film Registry in the Library of Congress as I deem it culturally, historically and aesthetically significant. So say we all.
When they all left Mike at the table at the end and he started muttering drunkenly, I was hoping that there was another ten minutes left in the episode of just him by himself.
I thought it would pick up on the old plot point from season 2 that all of BotW is just Mike drunkenly talking to himself and imagining that he has friends.
Working remotely here in South Korea. Started watching BOTW two weeks ago. So happy to have spent my precious time on this fantastical journey of Discovery and Mirth. Congratulations on 100 episodes boyos. Push the Whopper Button indeed!!!
As one reviewer put it, Breen seems aware, but not self-aware. He knows which bits people love, like "NO MORE BOOKS", but he doesn't know *why* they love those bits. "People respond well to Cyber Time-Traveling Alien Jesus, and quote what I say in that role, so that's obviously the best way to spread my message and change the world for the better. A world without lawyers, politicians, and insurance agents."
I kinda wish The Room had kept its vampire subplot because those two together would be so amazing that the universe could possibly tear itself apart in self defense
@James Winland If you record yourself, screaming a poorly-worded manifesto, surrounded by women several decades too young for you and the corpses of everyone you see as minions of The Man, the general public isn't going to be terribly interested in your message.
This episode had it all! Cyber sex, Rich mis-pronouncing things and hating himself, the zombified corpse of the old wheel, the theme music for Canadian special effects masters Colin and that scottish guy, freeze frames, Conics, the devil, SCAAAAIIIIITHSSS, "me personally" Nukie and more! I've already arranged by funeral...
a doctor who evidently wears a cheap plastic friendship bracelet he got from some kid as a child despite it being 10 and 40 years since he saw that kid
@@dilangunawardana7064 I like Josh humor, it's the same with Jack, you can say whatever you want, but they two make the best set ups for the other three jokes. Also the editing as always make them funnier.
reflecting on the last 25-30 years of internet porn the cybersex video is almost charming, especially with the typos and when the woman joke around the video featuring Ada and the worried woman with the computers seems odd now but it was a genuine concern in the mid-80s. I think the video was more about getting people to feel comfortable with the IDEA of computers than how to use them because usually learning how something unusual works alleviates fear and uncertainty. Good on them casting an actress clearly in her 30s or even early 40s too, she was clearly meant to be an experienced employee suddenly scared she could lose her successful job just because she didn't understand incoming tech
Imagine Neil Breen and Tommy Wiseau, the two greatest actor/writer/directors, collaborating to create their own version Face/Off... It would be movie history.
I think Tommy wiseau is too aware of his reputation now...everything he's done since The Room is him sincerely trying to be funny, and failing. If we're talking Wiseau in his prime though, if they could overcome the inevitable battle of their uncompromising egos, then it would indeed be a spectacle for the ages
@@AirTails Yeah, Neil Breen is the true enigma, if that guy is self-aware he got to be even more of a genius than the characters he plays but I think it is impossible for someone to be as deluded as he seems to be and still be an otherwise functional human breen, he got to know, his whole persona got to be a character, if so he created the impossible, a series of manufactured shit movies that look spontaneous.
Underrated joke in all of this: Mike's Emilia Earhart answer, when Rich is trying to think of Steve Buscemi. It is comedically PERFECT. Someone universally famous, so everyone will get it; but, for absolutely NO ONE is that fame for looks, one way or the other. Literally the perfect joke.
The Quaid heard the utterance of it’s name and thus his trek to the home of cinema, Milwaukee Wisconsin was begun. What gifts will The Quaid bring? What wonder and insight does it share?
Watching this episode again, I had never noticed the amazing edit at 1:11:04 where Jack becomes Rich... and I've watched this one like 5 times since it came out. Same as the top commenter, these guys are awesome, and I want to say thanks for all the hilarious content.
