@@viscountrainbows6452 Now I wanna see "Rich Wick" where he starts a brutal murder spree of hollywood exec, who ruined his favorite movie/TV-series. He is not the babba yaga, he is the birthday boy - and he has a special present for everyone! Ratet R for RICH EVANS!
@@horsyswillkill for sure. It's a handful of people acting like idiots. Then people see empty shelves or hear toilet paper is impossible to get and more people start hoarding it. Like the idiots that buy up all the milk and bread when there is even just a decent chance of a little snow / ice in the forecast down here (in the south).
Just for the sake of giving credit where it's due, I actually got this joke from a RU-vid comment on a video of the actual Dawn Of The Dead (2004) Intro. If you search for a bit you'll find it no problem~...
@@sean8102 And frozen pizzas. I used to work in a grocery store, and one year as an ice storm approached, everyone was buying up milk and frozen pizzas. I finally asked one person why the pizza, and the answer was "in case the power goes out."
“There’s a horror movie to be made with a virus going around and friends turning on each other.” Don’t worry, Jay, I have a feeling hundreds of those are being written right now.
Because it's such a clever idea and there are hundreds of brilliant but otherwise unoccupied script writers? Or because it's a lame representation of the fucking entitled self-glorification of 2020 hipster culture? Or, "Everybody ELSE is an asshole and a dimwit. Except me and my twitter allies." I guess an even greater lack of self-awareness is a direction for cinema to go...
As comedian Pat Dean put it recently on twitter: we're like 2 years away from some shithead saying in an interview "we consider COVID-19 a character in this film."
My friend and I were on Netflix one day looking for, what we assumed, was a trash horror movie to watch and make fun of. Found tucker and Dale and Holy. Shit. What a genuinely great movie lol
that is why I'm not upset you need permits to sell food and drinks here where i live xD Yeah hurr durr opressive country doesn't allow kids to have simple income, but at least noone drinks detergent mixed with puddle water from clueless kids
Sitting in a bathtub that probably costs more than many people’s houses, rambling about the virus being the great equalizer... That has to be the greatest piece of art that came out of this mess.
The common wisdom used to be “never meet your heroes” because they’re inevitably not as awesome, smart or cool in real life as they are in your imagination. Today, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, our “heroes” actively seek ways to make you feel like an idiot for ever having liked them.
Yeah, it makes me not like/care the newer celebrities now. Oh cool you're locked up in your homes like everyone else. Shut up and stop begging for attention, fricking celebrities.
They really missed out making a reference to the movie and saying "The world is ending... so lets fuck" as Mike and Jay stare into each others eyes and warmly embrace in a passionate make out scene. But I suppose that would lead to too many RLM sex fan fics.
@@vanyadolly I like that song, but I understand why these celebrities' pretentiousness would make someone hate it. I love Will Ferrell, but come on man, you too?
Did no new episodes of the show drop? Or was it just so that Rich Evans won't be tortured any further? I live for the Star Trek content on this channel. I think Mike is the last Trekkie that actually still gets it.
Agreed. Was hoping for the Picard end-cap today and got...this? I feel like some poor kid at his birthday party, hoping it would be filled with cake and a new bicycle. Instead, I'm surrounded by creepy animatronic animals and my mom dressed me in a crappy T-shirt that invites pedophilia. What a world.
I think that Eli Roth is a David Lynch character. He just seems like this madeup person, and his movies are like the fake previews you'd see within a dark comedy movie. But then it gets too metaphysical and you start wondering if David Lynch is actually a multidimensional traveler and if this LSD trip is ever going to end.
I think Eli Roth has a similar problem as Micheal Bay has: he has this little frat boy goblin in his brain that eats all his ideas and then poops them out so even the good ideas are now covered in shit. When you listen to Roth talk about horror films and their meaning and artistic merit it's like listening to a genuine scholar on the subject and you can sense his love for it. His ideas, at its core, are all solid and great ideas for films but then they get eaten by that little frat boy goblin and pooped out and Eli forgets how human beings talk, and act, and genuinely behave. It's like an Italian horror film filter through a skinamax Porky's knock off.
'Don't be scared! You're supposed to be frightened! That's the point! 👉 ' David Lynch is my 3rd favorite Director, after only Stanley Kubrick & Jim Henson! The man is a _LEGEND_ of *CINEMA!*
I grew up in the 00's in a rural area. That guy who shoots squirrels "because they're gay" was like half the dudes I knew, so I always found that moment hilarious
The last month has felt exactly like the opening act of a zombie movie, there is a scary realization to be made from this. The average person is about as dumb as the average person in a horror movie.
I mean don't forget how consumerism has trained us that everything will be A OK as long as we keep buying stuff. Dawn of the Dead is the epitome of how we went past the homo sapiens to a dependant Homo..Buyius?
@@TheWatchernator nah, that was a funny joke from a stand up comedian but in reality intelligence is different. There's a huge block of people, the vast majority of people, who are all about the same level of intelligence, then you've got a few outliers who are incredibly smart and a few outliers who are incredibly stupid. The block in the middle, the average person, well they tend to think they're smarter than the average when they're really not. Anyway I like George carlin but it seems people take that joke very seriously and think that's how intelligence is actually distributed.
@@duffman18 Taking the joke seriously isn't really an observation about the distribution of intelligence. It is trivially true that half the people are dumber than the average (which is the joke), so the idea is that when we talk about half the people being dumber than the average we are talking about the exact average not the block in the middle. Half of all people really are smarter (or dumber) than the average person, just not by much. In reality most people are roughly as dumb as the average person, which is far more horrifying.
He's 1 of those people blessed with natural charisma to the point he could probably release a video saying "ye I'm ok so fuck you all" and people would laugh and say "oh that Arnie". Like seriously it's hard to not love the guy.
@@prathapkutty7407 I mean she's not any hotter than anybody I can find on xvideos or pornhub so she doesn't have that much going for her. She's rich I guess but she's not anybody people should take seriously.
Rich Evans self isolated himself over 40 years ago. Although his lack of hygiene and overall frumpiness has always unsettled and confused many, 45 years from now the world will praise his genius and foresight.
When it comes to Horror comedy Shawn of the Dead is the gold standard, but I would ask recommend Dale and Tucker Vs Evil for those who need a good laugh!
Commenting in 2022, the opening edit to this in retrospect, even though we lived it, god damn...The fact that people looked up to celebrities when they barricaded themselves is utterly insane.
What the pandemic proved was how shitty celebrities and how incompetent our government is for closing business and still requiring said businesses to upkeep rent and such
Ealdy watching so many bad movies makes you age at around double the standard rate. His sacrifice is admirable-let’s all sing a verse of Imagine in appreciation for him
The bunny at the end- aside from being a pointless callback to a pointless scene- is indeed a reference to The Shining. There's an AFI "scariest movies" countdown that features Eli Roth as a talking head. When they get to The Shining, he specifically mentions that scene.
While I haven't watched his movies, I've always found Eli Roth kind of this interesting emblem of the divide between most people and the horror movie community. On the one hand, most people say his films are absolute garbage. On the other, he's gotten numerous awards related to horror, including Shocking Filmmaker of the Decade by Shockfest. I think he's the poster boy to show how horror movie fans tend to have kind of a different viewpoint when it comes to film, that I've always found fascinating. Plus, he co-created CryptTV. He gets props for that.
Eli Roth is fascinating in that I’ve heard him talk about horror movies and their history and it’s interesting and he’s clearly super into it. Yet for the most part I can’t stand his actual movies
@@HkFinn83 eh maybe I went overboard but yeah he was in a podcasts I listened to and I enjoyed hearing his thoughts in horror, but I still think his movies are kinda shit.
@@Whiston555 you didn’t go overboard. Eli Roth is really knowledgeable but apart from hostile, his filmography is nothing exceptional and often his movies are tonally a mess.
The ending kind of makes sense how he got there. In the car you can hear boy meets world gurgling. Deputy Winston is saying he just needs to party or whatever and then boy meets world asks him for water. Thats when he says the line "i dont have any water, only a 40" or however he said it. So he was responding to boy meets world asking for water. So then Deputy says don't worry Ill get you water... So he just dragged him down to the water so he can go party or whatever.
I'd break quarantine after 10 minutes. When authorities question me I would explain my desperate situation to them and they'd rule it out as emergency.
When I was in film school a friend of mine showed the pancakes scene to the class for an editing assignment. Their gobsmacked expressions will live in my heart forever.
I found a news article about an interview with Rider Strong (Boy Meets World) who says David Lynch's name as an executive producer was drawing unions to the production, so he removed it to let them film uninterrupted. I don't know why I was so interested in finding out but there you go.
I love how they consistently refer to Rider Strong as "Boy Meets World". Not even by the name of the character he played on Boy Meets World, just literally as "Boy Meets World".
I like the Green Inferno in theory. Oh there are still people living in hunter gatherer tribes? They're extremely hostile? They killed an ignorant person attempting to intrude on their land? This sounds like a story! But nope half rate Cannibal Holocaust is what we got
Got to say I absolutely LOVE YOU GUYS since discovering the channel a couple of months ago! Your back catalogue has become my new binge-watch show and is needed now more than ever in the UK. Cheers boys🍻
John Carpenter's The Thing is probably the superior movie in regards to people in a confined space turning on eachother because of a deadly outbreak (in this case an alien parasitic creature)
@@heezythecasual What an under appreciated response to such an utterly stupid fucking OG response. Yet there they are with the majority of the likes. God, people suck..
Jay mentioned that blonde actor getting glass in his eye. I just watched some clips and there's one were he breaks the window on their car as patient zero is trying to steal it. When he breaks it, he falls backwards and shouts: "It's in my fucking eye!" Reckon that was the accident and Eli Roth kept it in?
I’m so glad you guys are still making videos despite everything going on. Sounds dumb to say but this really cheered me up a lot during this shitty time.
Doesn't sound dumb at all, no worries. They were uncertain times with some scary developments and continuity gives comfort. I dread the day RLM retires or one of them dies. They're a comfort.
Agreed, one of the only horror movies I can actually tolerate. Cabin in the Woods being another good one. Evil Dead 2 I’d count more as a comedy though.
"I wanna see a group of friends getting infected by a virus and then turning on each other." I mean that's just The Thing isn't it? Sure, it's a hungry alien and they're not exactly friends. But really that just makes the movie better. If me and my friends decided to meet up and a few days into hanging out it turns out one carried the COVID-19 and any of us might be infected we wouldn't turn on each other nor would we be afraid our mate would kill us because he doesn't have rabies, a zombie virus or is a thing. It really wouldn't make for a fun movie.
The director’s commentary is worth a listen. He spends 1/2 talking about how he got his independent film financed and made and the other 1/2 complaining about the actresses not wanting to take off their tops for him.
20:39 Yes, they were kicked out of North Carolina by the union. If I remember it right, they basically had a weekend to finish a shoot that was supposed to go on for a few more weeks. David Lynch told his former asst. Eli to follow wherever the movie took him, or something like that, which kind of explains the entire last 1/3 of the film
I thought I remembered seeing Cabin Fever back in the day. Then as I started watching this episode and seeing the clips I remembered it wasn’t Cabin Fever, I was thinking of The English Patient. No, but seriously, I get this mixed up with Wrong Turn.
I always get the title/movie mixed up with "Cabin in the Woods" -- took me a while to realize that Mike and Jay would not be talking about the "twist ending" in this review :-)
Does anybody else believe that Eli Roth just hears a word that sounds cool and dangerous, misinterprets the meaning of the word, and then just makes a movie about the misinterpretation? Hostel being a good example.
I agree. In fact, I wholeheartedly believe Eli Roth thinks "hostel" is how you spell "hostile" and that the intended play on words was less subtle than it ended up being.
My aunt worked on this film and she said the pancakes kid wasn’t supposed to do those moves but the actor auditioned like that and they just went with it
@Tom Ffrench It has flaws. Major ones. I personally, like the HORROR parts of this movie a lot. I don't like the "comedy" scenes. So, I really think that anyone could love or hate it.
I think you can like it for being a crap movie. However, there sure is something wrong with people who 'love it' without further explanation. I support this decision.
@Tom Ffrench No one is criticizing you for liking a movie. I just broke up with a girl over ten years ago for having an unhealthy obsession with a horror movie. To the point where she made me feel uncomfortable.
Ti West has officially disowned Cabin Fever 2 due to producer interference in post-production. It's kind of weird that this quirky "anti-studio" indie horror became a franchise run into the ground by studios.
