Poor Back tot he Future got robbed with the great shift. They weren't just one good one but two great ones and one good one. But hey, they don't make the rules.
Actually Matt edited this one so less likely to be Ben. Generally Ben and Lawrence do Caravan of Garbage, Matt does editorials + tier lists style stuff, RAWCollings (Rob Collins) does the Podcast and other videos. I can't say who does what for Big Sandwich stuff as I'm not a subscriber but there are other collaborators that the teamwork with for stuff like the 16bit videos and Comic COG episodes. @@jasoncarter1869
@@mrsundaymoviesgood job sticking to the rules or Star Wars would have been mentioned and that would just derail the whole even more than it already is.
OH man, I hope that the lads do a tier list of the all-time best and worst of their own tier lists! Like, opinions change over time... Do they STILL think the same of what they did before? The world needs to know.
When I left the theater in 1981 at age 7 after seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark I turned to my mom and said Mom I hope they keep making movies with this guy until he's 10 years older than grandpa is
The edit and the timing on the Beverly Hills Cop “there was a pause” being accompanied by a freeze frame on “directed by John Landis” was so perfectly, wonderfully upsetting. Bravo, Matt
Beast Wars is very "you had to be there". Honestly goes with a lot of Rainmaker's CGI shows of that era like Reboot. It's a pretty tough sell to anybody who is too young to have seen them at the time because they have visually aged pretty badly and if you weren't a kid at the time and grew up with 80s Transformers then you'd probably "grown out of it" by the time it came out. Beast Wars was very much ahead of its time but it was like 10 years too early for TV CGI to actually start looking decent. Looks a lot better than Energon though, oh boy.
The Max Rockatansky-verse is legit S tier. Max Max may have been released in 79 but it didn't get released in the US until 1980. I absolutely consider this an 80s franchise that at worst has 1 good movie (Thunderdome) and everything else is great.
Yeah, I mean, Beyond Thunderdome got crapped on when it came out but at worst it's just a little sillier than the rest of the series. And Fury Road was a stunning piece of work, the kind of reboot/revival you expect to suck but it just blew you away, acting like the franchise had just momentarily stepped out for a smoke instead of being on hiatus for decades.
Kinda funny how so many of these legacy franchises are just kind of dottering around with cinematic memory loss, just doing the same things over and over again
@@Azaul And he admits that G1 is mostly garbage, yet the editor shows a clip from probably the most consistently good Transformers cartoon? Smh some people just don't know Trans-lore.
Beast Wars was genuinely great. The restraints of primitive CGI meant they couldn’t afford lots of flashy action, which meant they were forced to do a lot of character driven drama surprisingly deep story lines. The character development was great and the connection to G1 lore was fun to explore.
Robocop belongs there because it's satire, Terminator because it's popcorn entertainment, Aliens and Predator for similar reasons, but Rambo devolving into unintended self-parody is the sole reason he belongs in Mortal Kombat. He decapitates a man with a hunting knife!? Fatality!
This is how I feel about 90's video games. (Resident Evil, Tekken, Mortal Combat, MGS, Final Fantasy, Zelda.) Some of these are 80's (and great) but they just keep making sequels and remakes and it's doing my head in a bit.
@@chrisnotyou 80s franchises isn't specific to films. HE man originated in the 80s, has had 4 tv shows, two movies, although one was animated, a christmas special several video games and many many toys.... it fits the theme of the video completely
I generally agree with their final assessment, most of these franchises are garbage as franchises. Ninja Turtles has impressive staying power, but I only have a modest affinity for it. Predator though gets to be completely redeemed by Prey.
Conan O'Brien had an early bit called "the idiots making fun of my name", which was these three guys calling him endless variations on "Conan the [X]Arian": "Hey Conan! Conan the Vegetarian! Where's your arugula? Yeah, where's your tofu dogs?" etc. etc. Robocop and Ghostbusters should definitely be on the same level, whatever that is: "the first one was good, nothing else really captured the magic but the TV adaptation had its moments".
I always tell people that the only fictional thing that felt like I was given PTSD while watching it is the death of Glenn on The Walking Dead, but I forget about a lot of things from when I was younger. I've only sen Robocop twice but the scene where he's shot to oblivion felt traumatizing both times, somehow. To be fair the first time I was like 9.
James: I don't hate Ghostbusters I really like the first one but I don't like the second, third, fourth, fifth most of the cartoons probably the comics and the fans... but other than that I like it
This was the worst tier list I’ve ever seen. I’ve never been so upset to see some of my most beloved franchises be so disrespected. Great video boys! Keep it up!
Terminator franchise getting S-Tier in spite of the recent lackluster sequels and quasi-reboots, etc is a testament to how good the first two movies are.
I love these Troll/tier lists. Struck the perfect balance of generating outrage clicks, while being entirely authentic and sincere about the process of creating a nonsensical tier list to generate outrage clicks. Keep it up!
You watch interviews with him and he actually seems really smart for his political persuasion, I can't help but wonder if he was drunk during that commentary track
@@futurestoryteller I don't think he is dumb I just think he doesn't understand what a commentary should be lol 😆 and he's f****** Marlon Brando level compared to like Steven seagull
The saddest thing about GI Joe was when a Transformers twitter page made an April fools joke about audiences being disappointed about their appearance in ROTB and people agreed
You guys should redo this but have two lists, one for the start of the franchise (first movie, first show, toy line, etc.) and then one for the remainder of the franchise. Really show which ones tried to be a franchise vs which ones kept trying to milk a golden goose.
After the unhinged reasoning behind this video, I think you should do a tier ranking video of all your tier ranking videos. I'm a lifelong Transformers fan as well, who wholeheartedly loves Beast Wars (a curse on whoever decided to include THAT clip as an example of poor media), but to rank it based on the toys and not the media..... Madness. Ghostbusters probably had the second or third best set of toys from any of these franchises, but that didn't pull them up. Bravo to James for saying the original Top Gun isn't great. Lot of rose-tinted spectacles with that one.
Beast Wars catching some strays in this video. I don't care what anyone says. That show had heart. Really kicked into gear after the first season. Reboot too while we're at it. Those two were my childhood late night double feature on YTV.
If RoboCop is so bad, how did it have the power to disrupt the entire ranking system? Also, James is beating that Ghostbusters horse so hard it's going to come back as a ghost horse and haunt his family.
Lethal Weapon should be bumped up because with the sequels HBO put out mockumentary behind the scenes movies. I still crack up to this day over the "quitters" skit they randomly put in it.
I want more terrible tier lists. Rank some stuff you know next to jack all about - D&D classes, Lancer Frames, Coolest Gundam heads --- or something so australia niche that it doesn't apply to most people, best local takeaway franchises or somesuch.
I love this mess and I did a lot of eyebrows raising through and enjoying knowing it was going to piss people off until lethal weapon and James and Maso got me up in arms I love you guys
I put Indiana Jones at S, because it actually knows which direction to go and what needs changing. Unlike Terminator, which stays the course regardless of the times.
Gremlins the new batch isnt just a parody: its a solid Gremlin flick and can be scary. I always think of the guy who is activelylaughing about how silly and nonsensical the rules are, before a Gremlin launches out of a control panel and starts eating his neck. Gremlins is S Teir anything
I know you guys have a blindspot for STAR TREK, but they put out five films in the 80s, THIRTEEN in total so far (with one on the way), and ELEVEN TV series, (with one on the way). Whatever you think of ST, that's gotta make it the king of all 80s fanchises that just won't die, even bigger than STAR WARS, which, I would argue, should also have been on the list.
@@barghest94 I can kind of see it. In the 60s, it was a TV show that got cancelled after the third season. In the 70s, it was this nerd cult phenomenon that eventually spawned a critically panned huge-budget movie, one that did make money but not as much as they'd hoped. But in the 80s, it turned into a sustainable movie franchise and then a sustainable TV franchise, and that's where all modern Star Trek basically originates.
@@barghest94 Because everyone thought it was dead, so ST: The Motion Picture was a rebirth. And it came out in Dcember '79, which is definitely the 80's.
The fact that Back To The Future wasn’t immediately plugged into the spot that it landed in, and there was a second of hesitation is bound to infuriate folks on its own. 9:39
I’ve been listening through the weekly planet from the start, and last night I listened to like the 7th or 8th episode, and mason said the EXACT SAME THING about the Widows Peak making Bruce Willis look like a tired man. That was so weird, it threw me off for a second😂
Great episode. Lethal Weapon TV series was actually great in the first two seasons. Clayne Crawford played an excellent Riggs. Unfortunately it was Damon Wayans who made life terrible for everyone on set. He never wanted to do the show in the first place.
Lethal Weapon was great. Crawford played an excellent Riggs, even better than Gibson. From what I read, Wayans had issues with Crawford after an episode where Crawford directed due to Crawford being pushy while directing and that caused the replacement as Wayans was the harder character to replace. This is such a dumb thing to happen and I can't really blame Wayans for it as nobody is really going to have a good time going into work one day and having to deal with their coworker being their boss suddenly for a few days.
@@stevecole90099 he really was awesome. Damon acted like this unfortunately most of the series. Check out Clayne’s interview explaining really what happened. He’s a pretty down to earth guy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u908kIaj12U.htmlsi=o8Q9KEBKzIbdgZc2
They’ve done it! Engagement off the roof with everyone disagreeing with the tier list. Did I agree with any ranking, no. But did I enjoy this video, absolutely, S tier.
There was also a Back to the Future card game from the people that make Fluxx. The basic premise is that you and the other players are decedents of characters from the main series, each with a card that tells you what changes you need to make to the timeline (as represented by a grid of other cards) in order to win or have Doc Brown uninvent time travel. Unfortunately, it's out of print, so I may have to dig around in my mom's shed for my copy.
The Nightmare on Elm Street series is an opportunity for comedy gold - the making of, the far out trippy sequels, actors and their characters who must resist getting murdered in their dreams. Do it!!
Also Soldier was crudely satisfying, Kurt Russel just made another cult character (not Snake Pliskin level but a memorable Sgt Todd). I also read regarding the Lethal Weapon TV series character swap - the show started initially intense and interesting but the alternate version to "difficult to work with" was that the Riggs actor wanted to make something quality and ran afoul of Wayans who just wanted another long running easy paycheck ala My Wife and Kids and had the sway to swap out the co-lead.
Yes the long waited notorious snake eyes review is back on track. I'll rewatch it for the 10th time and will be waiting with baited breath for the boys highly anticipated discussion on how that man got snakes for eyes.
How do they decide when there's a premier and when there isn't. Is there ALWAYS a live premier and I just miss it usually? The chat is usually really, really clever and timely with the video.
Robocop belongs in "F" because he missed out on his best friend, Sting's, retirement match. One of the few partners Sting had that didnt betray him until now.
