How to Beat the BIG MAMA in BARBARIAN 

The best part of the entire film, by far, is when Justin Long discovers the creepy basement tunnels and immediately tries to figure out how he can make money off it. Absolutely hilarious.

I like how you spent 10 minutes establishing all the aspects of Keith's brutal murder plan and then the next morning Keith's just like 'alright see ya later'

The amount of red flags and she managed to ignore them all. Nerd explains commentary is killing me

I can understand going into the first hallway with the bedroom; but that long ass stairwell into the pits of hell; Fuck no.

I love the way this film knows about all the horror movie tropes where the characters make stupid decisions and said: "Hold my beer"

Honestly didn't need to watch this just to know how to beat it , but Nerd explains is just so entertaining

The general public doesn’t realize how many people go missing in certain states every single month. In this how to beat video, we’ll show you how to make friends with someone who flies an A-10 Thunderbolt.

Man, this is legit the definition of “can’t have shit in Detroit”

Nerd Explains is like Cinema Summary's (now How to beat's) cooler older brother with extra sarcasm and nihilism.

the fact that the woman survived the whole movie despite all of her seriously dumb decisions is unbelievable.

If a seven foot tall cave troll wanted to keep me as her baby? Well I guess I’m a cave troll’s baby now 🤷🏻‍♀️

Referring to crackheads as "local wildlife" was top tier humor

Wait she actually calls 1 hotel and calls it quits. A quick search on hotels app would had saved her. Who manages the airbnb?

Finally, a review pointing out the baffling stupidity of Tess's decisions. But doesn't mention why Tess didn't tell the cops when they were at the location that ALL of her belongings were in the house. What a glaring oversight, at least to me.

I would love to see him do The Walking Dead series. I know it would be super labor intensive, but would be cool to watch!

“there’s a barricaded shooter in the basement threatening to put a stock on a handgun” 💀💀

She had a working car for the majority of the movie and she was even able to go to her interview and she came back to the house?!?! I was not even rooting for her to survive after that.

This is so hard to believe anyone would be dumb enough to stay in the same airbnb as a stranger in an unknown place

how to beat Barbarian: use your brain.

When Justin Long dropped the gun off the side of the building, I laughed for about three minutes straight. Anyone else ever notice that in bad horror movies freaking NO ONE is allowed to competently hold or use a firearm when it matters?

In hindsight, her door opening in the beginning absolutely drives me crazy. That means that mama came and opened her door, and then went back downstairs. Nah wtf mama should have kidnapped them both right there, or am I missing something?

I’m positive the city will have a absolute meltdown about the zoning violations going on with those tunnels. He’ll probably lose money because he’s forced to fix it

However since the law of physics works differently in Michigan " had me dead 💀

It’s another one of those movies that would’ve never happened if the main character was actually smart.

My favorite part of the movie was that both of them got the AirBnb without any horror aspect connecting to it. I was under the impression that someone plan the double booking but instead it seemed to be a mistake made by the company loaning the house. Seeing the cave dweller was a surprise.

The most unrealistic scene in this movie is when Justin Long gets the tape measure to stay hooked on the top stair as he measure down that second tunnel. Also I was disappointed, I really thought Arnold Schwarzenegger was supposed to be in this film to conclude his Conan trilogy. 😆

I personally think a suspense thriller where the girl books an Airbnb only to find a (seemingly) cordial guest ending up staying, making the audience question if everything is as it seems with him would be a fun watch. Things start off innocently enough (even perhaps somewhat flirty), but slowly devolving into those red flags starting to show, with (something) forcing them to have to live in the same house/unable to leave. Eventually, the girl finds the secret doorway in the basement, leading to that sketchy cam room, with the guy turning out to actually be the deranged/psychotic owner of the house. I think Bill Skarsgard would do a wonderful job at starring as that friendly and awkward (but harmless) guy, and slowly shift into that deranged serial killer kinda vibe.

Keith:does nothing violent, hurts noone, freed her from the basement, gets murdered Nerd:keith is still a murderer🤣🤣🤣

The funny thing is had she not gone in the house with Keith, she would've been in more danger (unless she immediately drove away) cause Mama comes out at night.

This Big mommas house reboot isn’t what I was expecting.

11:36 how do you hear that door closing and not break into a mad scramble to get there before it shuts, she almost made it too.

LOL i just watched this. Your timing is impeccable. Movie is wild, i loved it. First act was a masterclass in suspense and tension lol

I think this is the first time need explains and how to beat put out a video for the same movie in the same week. Love them both

The real twist would have been if he really HAD turned out to be a serial killer, but the monster was the worse evil and she finds this out when she tries to start her car and finds he cut the fuel line or something when she’s trying to escape.

And this right here is why I consider horror movies to just be twisted up comedies 😹😹

Just remember, that Somewhere at someplace, someone would love to be in this situation right now...

First the upload schedule similarities. Now this, this battle will be legendary.

If you can’t escape mother and accept your fate, you mutate into an actual cave troll baby.

This would make a great map for Ready or Not. Reminds me of that creeps basement in SWAT 4

Oh my gosh my friends were watching this last night while we were eating dinner after going out for Halloween. We were all just looking at the screen saying "Dude no just let her leave when the hell is wrong with you. She said she wants to go" which turned into "No no don't go down there that's who you end up on a missing persons list."

I love when he references actors by their roles in other movies

The joke about threatening to put a stock on a pistol and the ensuing police assault made me snort ginger ale out of my nose! Every new video is just better and better!!

This is why people yell "DONT GO IN THERE" in movie theatres

17:25 as I watched this last night I literally yelled "whether he's in actual danger or luring you down there to capture/kill you wtf is your unarmed, 120lb @$$ gonna do bout it????"

The first act was great. The second act was fine. The third act was a goofy slapstick out of nowhere and really dragged the whole movie down.

I really like the way he names people and places.

I remember someone once told me if bad decisions didn't exist there wouldn't be any horror movies.

Love how he is actively passively aggressively trashing the atf. “Just say he has a handgun and is gonna put a stock on it and the whole place will be shot to the ground or burned” lmao love this guy

I only watched this 3 days ago lol , and I was rooting for the monster 💀

We need a How to Beat and Nerd Explains collab

"Ah well, guess he got ate. Sucks to suck, bro!" The absolute perfect line every movie protagonist should have up their sleeve. lol

I would have done something that would make the police take me in for the night, why not? That way if Momma finds me the cops can light her ass up, and now they believe me. Also I feel this movie was written way different but has seen some changes. I think Kieth actually was a killer or the killer but things happened and they went the Momma route.

This first guy Keith gave off so many fucking red flags that he's a serial killer I'm in complete belief that the original script didn't have the Mama thing in it and it was supposed to be a thriller about whether that guy is bad or not, but then the script writer noticed he made it impossible to make the audience believe he's not a murderer that he threw in the 7 foot tall behemoth of a woman to make people forget how poorly set up that was. EDIT: The new scariest thing about this movie how many people apparently don't know how many red flags his behaviour should've given off if you weren't an omniscient viewer that knew he was supposed to be a nice person and just a misdirect. EDITEDIT: Ok, Imma write another comment considering people seem to think that what I presented as an initial script was the actual initial script. It isn't. Him being a fucking creep giving off 50 red flags per minute was completely intended. From other comments and wikipedia and interviews, Keith giving off so many horrific red flags was actually completely intended because apparently his entire behaviour was based on a book on red flags women should watch out for in men the writer read. So yeah, him giving off red flags galore and being a super creep is completely intended, so if you either don't see the red flags or try excusing the red flags, you're basically exactly the problem the book and the screenplay tried to address, lol.

I really like Skarsgard I hated to see him die

LMAO i deliberately didn't watch Cinema Summary's video coz i had a feeling you might upload the same video and wanted to watch your version

Wait so are you and How to Beat doing different perspectives of the same movies now? I really enjoyed watching both of your channels and the different movies covered it was like a double feature!!

This may be the worst decisions I've seen in a movie lmao.... and can confirm physics are different in the state of Michigan

I’m not sure if it was you or your editor. But that transition clip of “Do the Right Thing” when you said “Here comes the Mayor” 9:50 was so clutch 👍🏽

I honestly prefer you over Cinema Summary. I feel you are more in touch with your fans and less about big sponsorships. Oddly enough I also rewatch videos to fall asleep to.

Thank God for Nerd Explains, always keeping the movie monsters at bay 😔

The thing i love the most about these vids is the commentating, makes me laugh throughout the whole video even if it's a horror movie❤️❤️

this one has to be the funniest commentary so far! Cracked up a lot !

You should Wolf Creek next, unsettling movie, but beatable and not so linear a story I think you could have fun with it

I still don’t understand why the mother thingy wanted tess and aj as her ‘babies’ but just decided fuck Keith lmao 🤣

My go to how to beats, his breakdowns are great keep it up nerd!! 👍👍

Nerd explains how to survive watching an ad every minute while trying to get through his videos

I finally rented this last night and the entire time, I heard Nerd Explains in my head. Aaaand here we are!

The driver's license says Bill Skarsgard is 5'10 bahahahahahhahahah

Funny how she had to go to the bathroom. If the mayor of Detroit chased me into my house on his daily crack binge, I'd have already shit myself.

32:59 As a former Detroit resident. I approve this message.

See, I would have survived by the point of needing toilet paper. I would have probably already begun going before checking the roll's status. Seeing it was out, I'd be in a pickle. Air dry, or use underpants (gross, yes, but then I can just stuff them in the garbage or a ziplock baggie, then change into another pair from my bag.) Then I'm on my way and never have to endure the rest of this movie!

I really want to see more horror movies where the main character makes smart decisions

Saw this at the theater and I can say the first 15mins had me I never thought this movie would end up the way it did😂😂😂

All I think in these movies is if someone had their concealed carry they’d end it in 10 minutes.

My inner Bill Skarsgard fan screaming "you're doing amazing sweetie🎥"

I appreciate a guy who calls another guy a "Tall drink of water". Respect that

the tape measurer scene was so funny bro

I love how you’ll never run out of content endless movies

I have to keep rewinding because I keep laughing my ass off from the spot on sarcasm. I always look forward to these overviews after I watch a 🎬.

"If a 7-foot tall cave troll wanted to keep you prisoner as an adult baby, what would you do?" God I love this channel

I have never laughed so hard until i found your page man! Mad phucking props!😂👏🏼💯

I just want to say how much I loved how they used the foreground/background and takes.

“However since the law of physics works differently in the state of Michigan troll face falls fast enough to beat her to the ground and soak up most of the impact”. I like it.

I fucking love Nerd Explains… I’m crying laughing 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Late career Justin Long" the shade! I think he'll be around for a long time personally lol.

I NEED MORE from this page, Or a podcast of these or something 😂

Well... time to watch another explanation on "How to beat the yo mama in barbarian"

Ah yes, IHOP. The best place to survive a horror film since nothing ever goes wrong at IHOP.

YESSS I WAS WAITING!!

Yes yes yes you did it! Was about to write to suggest this great horror movie!

How exactly did the cave lady become strong? What is her food source?

Honestly surprised by Fumbles deadass throwing Tess from the tower, I did NOT see that one coming.

I WAS HOPING YOU’D MAKE A VIDEO ON THIS MOVIE! This is like Christmas!!

I kneel down and thank God for nerd explains

Perfect! Now I can compare options!

Barbarian double feature with Nerd and Cinema Summary 🤘🏿🤘🏿

"Plus, you know, pancakes" 🤣

I love this channel!!

I've been watching a bunch of your vids and your style in this one is my favorite. I know it's similar to the others, but the commentary is funnier, more sarcastic, more critical.

You put too much trust into the American police force haha
