The Charlie's Angels movies are diabolically 2000s 

Not only did Drew buy the rights but she paid extra in order to have the angels not use guns! She didn’t think they needed them and that the girls could be badass and hold up their own without them. Slay slay slay.

one fun fact i learned was because charlie’s angels (2000) was so popular, totally spies was greenlit, so thank u charlie’s angels for being so iconic & paving the way for one of the most iconic cartoons of the 2000’s x

Charlie is such a damsel in distress. He starts shit, and then he needs to be saved by the angels everytime. Has Charlie attended The Bella Swan School For Vulnerable Girls Of Overblown Importance??

The way Maddison said "why be an angel when I can be God" and then later died falling into fire like that other angel who was in his girlboss era in that one book (I think is called bibble or something) and was punished and fell into hell cause he wanted to be as powerful as God? Iconic, truly a masterpiece of the 2000s

Cameron Dislay, Drew Slaymore, and Slaycy Liu truly carried

When he described full throttle as “a worse movie but I like it more” I ascended bc that’s literally how I feel about a lot of my favs

The fact that Mike has never seen ‘The Sound of Music’ and doesn’t get the brilliance of them playing “The Lonely Goatherd” while revealing the angels dressed as nuns is actually soul crushing-

This movie is so unserious and campy and that’s why it looks so well. It stands the test of time because everyone played their character to the highest degree possible. Plus the chemistry between Cameron, Drew, and Lucy needs to be studied in universities

Charlie's Angels changed the way we pose for silly pictures for ever. That's history.

1:51 "atrociously optimistic CGI" is such a perfect way to describe whatever was going on in that era

I love that Lucy shows us how many times a woman has to say no before man actually stops and/go away

I need so badly for Lucy Liu to reenter pop culture.i need her in the next season of White Lotus, I need her appearance in Renaissance visuals. I need her in salacious dating rumors with Pete whatshisface only for it to be revealed she was actually on a yacht with Janelle Monae and like Miley Cyrus just wilding out. I just 🥺🥺🥺

Me realizing Totally Spies is basically Charlie's Angel's in cartoon form

I like how they wanted to make a sexy movie for men but they made the most slay queen thing I’ve ever seen

Mike, you forgot to mention that the reason Seamus isn't tricked into going to the wrong roof is because he's able to recognize Dylan's ass despite her being in disguise as a male bellhop lol

Lucy Liu as the corporate dominatrix is my favorite she was having the time of her life

"diabolically 2000s" is an amazing phrase

another slay by mr. mike's mic! the audience is NOT surprised!

I knew logically that these were separate movies, but I used to watch them so often as a kid that they blurred into one in my brain. They’re such insane movies that I barely remembered the plots just that certain things definitely happened at some point. They are a fever dream and a half

the way the scenes at the orphanage were shot at hugh hefners playboy mansion.... everything about these movies is just so iconic

Both movies are single handedly responsible for my sexual awakening. Thank you Lucy Cameron and Drew.

Biggest slay takeaways have got to be your gracious inclusion of both Lucy liu rejecting men scenes and the acceptance that Sam Rockwell is indeed hot in the movie

LL Cool J being unmasked as Drew Barrymore is ICONIC Okay Scooby and Mystery Inc. slay

as a mongolian-american, TO THIS DAY the only time i’ve seen in western media actual mongolian people speaking actual mongolian and not chinese or straight up gibberish has been in “Loki” that coupled with the fact that mongolia’s almost always depicted as this backwards, foreign land filled with barbarians has always made me have a grudge against full throttle even though i did like the rest of it

I think in the 2000s version of ‘Charlie’s Angels’, they got the campiness and unhinged moments just right. My favourite pairing was Cameron Diaz and Luke Wilson.

honestly Mike would LOVE Kill Bill, an over the top movie thats a campy comedy with girlbosses, slow motion, ridiculoud action scenes AND Lucy Liu

I waited 38 mins for you to SKIP OVER the most iconic scene when demi Moore literally flies off that building using those flimsy ass silk wings. I die every time. One of my favourite films ever

I loooved the campiness of these movies. They're so dumb but they're weirdly comforting and they're fun and extra, and Lucy, Cameron, and Drew just do such a good job channeling that. As a kid I thought "imagine being a bad b who is so confident in every single thing you do" cause that was what the characters are giving its such a slay

I desperately need Mike to cover Birds of Prey…the level of slay in that movie and soundtrack are unparalleled

This was the “golden age” of the movie star, which is why movies like this, rom coms, and other mid budget films were extremely popular. Stars filled seats then so people would literally go to the cinema to see the new Cameron Diaz film, the same way we now go to see the new marvel film. Now we’re in the “death of the movie Star” age, which is why we’ve seen a massive decline in mid budget films and studios focus on backing high concept “blockbusters”, remakes and adaptations where the franchise or the concept fills seats. It’s also why films could have wacky or flimsy or messy or risky plots because the focus was on the actors, and it’s why star studded cast films were so common then.

i literally get spooked when i see Sam Rockwell and Crispin Glover in other projects because of how perfectly diabolical they were in charlie's angels

i love how he consistantly calls them angles throughout the whole thing

Charlie’s angels 2000 was a moment for 5 year old me. I watched it for years I swear. Made myself an obstacle course in the living room around my parents and went about my missions. I feel like maybe it wasn’t quite appropriate looking back

I was talking to my mother and told her I love the Charlie’s Angels movie. She said it didn’t make sense and was terrible and that the second was worse. I didn’t have the vocabulary to explain why that’s part of the appeal. Then this masterpiece of a Charlie’s Angels deep dive appears in my notifications. I’ll have to send this to her so she can understand how these movies are peak comedy

Sam Rockwell’s Simon Says dance will forever live rent-free in my mind. And THE CHADDD 😂❤ and, of course… Thin Man and his accompanying theme.

Mostly what I’ve learned from this video is that Mike has not only never SEEN the sound of music, but also somehow never knew that its SEVERAL famous and deeply-pop-culture-entrenched songs were FROM it??? Truly I love this man 😂

I never realized as a kid that Charlie's Angels are hitmen hired by a billionaire. Like they are basically glorified mafia 💅. Still slay though. Especially, Lucy! And that scene with Drew where she's on a race track with her valuables out made me realize something about myself.

I was the opposite of Mike. I had an UNHEALTHY obsession with the 1970s show (like, owned multiple box sets and watched them constantly. I was 11). If you like camp, damn that’s the series for you. They pull a heist, in BROAD GODDAMN DAYLIGHT, and they’re all wearing like, sexy black cat burglar outfits. In the middle of the day. So so dumb. I love it.

I miss these kind of movies. Camp, fun, epic. Doesn’t take itself so seriously.

my friend had full throttle on dvd and it had a magical grip on my soul. it took me a minute to realize that that grip was lucy liu, drew barrymore, cameron diaz and also lesbianism

Charlie’s Slayngels did the impossible. It first attracted me because of the incredible gay campiness it possessed, but made me stay because I realised how I was attracted to all 3 of the main girlies. Amazing

The “oh wey oh wey oh” when someone dies never fails to get me

everytime sam rockwell plays a kunty villain a decade is added onto my life cos i eat it up EVERY TIME

"at the end of the day, I'm just a 27 year old teenage boy" is me exactly thank you for this perfect snippet hahah

a trio that will NEVER be beaten

I think he's name the Creepy Thin Man because there was a series of old movies from the 40s called the Thin Man, where the Thin man wore a lot of dapper suits and had slicked back hair. So he's a creepy version of that. Not that I've actually seen the Thin Man. I like my old Movies to be bizarre. Like a Movie where a little girl no joke gleefully says "I saw a hobo get shot this morning and the blood spurted out 5 feet!" (This surprisingly being the Holiday classic, Meet me in St Louis.)

I think this would be the perfect time to say: A few years ago I started reading the Harry Potter Books, and I ordered them from Thrift books. In my copy of Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire there was a ticket for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle at some theatre in Abacoa, Florida for the realse weekend in 2003. I do not know what this means, but the circle has been complete. I can retire. Thanks Mike.

I remember hearing the criticism of these movies as a teenager. And like understanding it. But also as a little girl? I thought those three were so amazing. They were heroes.

8:38 Tim Curry makes movies more iconic by simply existing. Also, ngl I’ve tried that whole standing massage that Lucy Liu gives and it’s quite the cultural reset.

Mike’s Mic and Lucy Liu together is the slay of the century

Shirtless man is Rodrigo Santoro!! We in Brazil are very proud to have an international actor

The biggest plot hole to me is, didn’t Charlie to a background check on Eric Knox, and figure it was that double agents kid, who may or may not want to have Charlie killed? But I was 13 when the first movie came out and I loved it. I even remember getting the dvd in some meal deal with Pizza Hut. I even choreographed a dance to independent woman inspired by the movies and performed it in a dance competition

THESE, in fact, ARE the movies we DESERVE

the chipettes WISHED they were as iconic as the angels

i'm so glad that someone else has mentioned being scared/weirded out by older media. i think there's something about the film grain that used to just make me immediately say no if i encountered it. i've thankfully kind of grown out of it now, but that's almost only because i grew up in the 90s, and seeing some of that now, it's all film grain.

This is 100% the film that made me Bi and therefore it can do no wrong. This shit was my entire personality for like a decade... They're everything to me

The sink metaphor is the single-handedly the most convincing ad read I’ve ever heard

The memories of playing Charlie's Angels on the playground at recess in elementary school and arguing over who gets to be wich angel after watching this at a sleepover. I WAS 8. The early 2000's were insane

First, thin man is a term used for mysterious bad guys going back to film noir and mystery novels. Has nothing to do with the body type. Yes, Kelly Garrett was the OG Angel and the only actress and character to stay for the entire run of the serious. Her name is Jaclyn Smith. She made some pretty okay clothes for either K-Mart or Walmart back in the day. As someone who has watched all seasons of the original Charlie's Angels, I must point out that part of the "unseriousness," camp, and unrealistic nature of the movies is a call back to the original series. It was meant to be stupid and fun. Seasons 4 and 5 of the original series made zero sense, was about the sex appeal, and was trying so hard to be serious that it wasn't serious. The ridiculousness is what made it fun and ishow the movie is. If you're a fan of the show, you can find legitimate copies of scenes from the series in the movie that seems to have no point - but they do, to pay homage to the series. Those random scenes in the opening credits are to show the undercover roles they've taken up, especially some that go back to the original series or why they were chosen. Peep the scene of them being chained together, that is a call back to the pilot of the show. The nun scene goes back to a season 4 episode. Another important part of the show was that the Angels always get caught and have to break cover - because extra drama. Remember, this show was originally produced by the master of camp drama TV, Aaron Spelling. The cars, as well, were a major of the series and they even retained that in the movie. The racecar scene is a major plot point throughout the show because Farrah Fawcett's character, Jill Munroe, left the agency (and the show, but for other reasons) to race cars in Europe. I really do commend Drew Barrymore for holding true to so much of the original. PS Willis is in this movie because Demi Moore got him the role. Maybe not got, but asked for him. PSS During the jump, Madison slams the gun into the wall. It's rather distracting but funny.

these movies were so integral for my childhood and idk if you covering them gave me a feeling of nostalgia or brought back my ptsd of creepy thin man bc that clip of him on the roof sniffing hair is permanently engrained in my brain he used to terrorise me in my dreams back then and I still think about him from time to time

everything mike does, he does it A1, flawless, makes us go insane, pandemonium RIOT

So happy to see the return of Mike’s Mic serving and slaying 🔥

Ok so were not gonna mention that that nun is non other than carrie fisher also very much known as princess slaya

This theme of embracing the cheesiness & camp in the sequel is exactly the reason why I also love Sonic 2 lolol

I keep referring to you to my boyfriend as “you know the Australian guy who’s gossip girl video I won’t stop showing you clips of because I love his unmatched ability to string together the best combination of words in the English vernacular?” And subsequently quoting you

Mike recapping the best movie of my childhood, slay!!

I love that you imply that these movies don’t look old. That makes me feel less old myself.

THANK YOU for pointing out Drew’s “moonwalk”!!! It’s bothered me for decades!!

I’m BEGGING for Drew Barrymore to ditch her ellen era and start producing movies again. I MISS REAL MOVIES!!! PLS DREW UR OUR ONLY HOPE 🙏🙏🙏

I remember watching the movies and loving them (especially the iconic cameos in the second movie) but it took me a while to figure out that Sam Rockwell is in the first movie and he’s aged like fine wine.

Mike you've literally crawled into my brain and plucked this video topic from it. I JUST purchased both of these absolute slay movies after remembering that they absolutely shaped my girl boss bimbo queen spy slay fantasies of who I would become. I literally can't thank you enough ahahahahaha

Drew Barrymore truly is a gift that we don’t deserve

Charlie’s Angels gave as much 2000’s movies energy, as MikesMic is giving 27 💅✨

I was literally thinking about how I needed a new Mike's Mic video today😭

2000's Charlie's Angels should be the blueprint to any action movie

When I tell you that Pharoahe Monch moment gave me LIFE

So that you know, I had to change my name from “Mike” because I could never be as iconic.

I own both of these movies on dvd and watched them way too many times as a child. It’s baked into my brain chemistry unfortunately

These movies were high school me’s -obsession-!! Demi in the swimsuit with the fur as Edwyn Collins plays is forever rent free in my head. Iconiccccc. Song is still one of my faves!

Not me demanding that you do a video on Pulp Fiction in this format because I need this energy applied to it immediately. Plus the fact that Quentin Tarantino is like your arch nemesis when it comes to feet in film philosophy…

As someone who has never watched Charlie's Angels, hMike describing the beginning of the 2nd one had me in tears OMG😭😭

Wow ur timing is amazing

Seeing pictures of Gwen, Rina, and Gaga next to each other actually spiked my dopamine so high I fully passed out and hallucinated my own version of Charlie’s Angels with them in it instead. Massive slay Also Sam Rockwell is always kinda ~*~*~* if you ask me, he’s got that right amount of unhinged scumbag to be intriguing but not entirely repulsive

this video reminded me that i’m overdue for a rewatch and NEED one more charlie’s angels with these three women again before the world ends

i know u don’t do old movies but mikes mic sound of music would be a major slay 🤷‍♀️

This video was made for every version of me, from the past to the future. Thank you Michael Microphone for your service🙏

Mike I’m ready for your old movie era. You might not be ready. But when you are, I’ll here babes

No but Michael being afraid of old movies is actually relatable, like I get it

Full throttle slays too hard! I love the car wash end credits scene 🤓 this is imprinted in my memory because Journey’s “Any way you want it” would be a little wonky as the videotape started to get old and fuzzy lol

It's so funny how this is like one of the only times we've seen Mike thirst over, let alone be attracted to, another person in one of his videos, and it's Sam Rockwell as Eric Knox from Charlie's Angels (2000) akskdkkf

I vividly remember the second movie way more than the first, iconic surfboard scene alone

I'm pretty sure that if I went one more day without new Michael's Microphone content, I would've passed away due to severe withdrawals. So thank you Mother Michael for providing us all with new content

Aaaaand introducing… once again… the highlight of my week….. Mike reviewing *insert quintessential movie series* for everyone’s enjoyment

Every new Mike's mic vid is just iconic... like I can't describe it but I will be rewatching this 50 times in the next 2 days just living rent free in my head until I can recite it like the first hour of the PLL recap

I love these movies and wish we got more with this trio. Had a crush on all the angels and this is also probably my Chris Rockwell root lmao….and my crispin glover root I forgot about him

The XG intro snip is EVERYTHING.

Mike’s videos are always the best. Truly an icon of our time. SLAY QUEEEEEEENNNNN!

Yasss Mike really said don't call me angel 💅😌✨👼

the simon says scene is forever cemented in my mind, will never not think of it when i hear it

the amount of times mic switches his accent for the references. truly a commentary legend.
