Half in the Bag: 2022 Mid-Year Catch-Up Part 2 (Movies)

No kidding. That movie is the best thing I have seen this year and last. How this was not talked about in recap is beyond me.

EEAAO has James Hong in it, so it is required viewing.

"Everything Everywhere All At Once" is my The Batman. Aint gonna get 100k likes though. But what a movie! Wow! Also really liked Licorice Pizza, but that one feels like even less people would care about or like. :D

Michael Matzat

Biff Wiff, Santa cop from I Think You Should Leave, is in it!

Robert Daniel Pickard

You guys gotta watch Everything Everywhere All At Once and discuss it!

Mike promised a WISH UPON Plinkett review yeaaaaaars ago, and never delivered. Where’s it at Guys?

SR Hadden

I'm thinking Talk About or that will be next.

Steve Can Still Believe

Does the TNG VHS from the future mean that Mike and Rich will do another re:View of ten more episodes? They can do the entire series. I’ll watch.

I hope the next video is a movie re:View. It's been a while since the last movie one.

As soon as I saw that trailer I thought 'I wonder how many people will seize' lol. I know creators go overboard with the trigger warnings on youtube and it can get annoying, but seizure warnings are actually pretty useful.

Hi! I enjoyed this review a lot! I was wondering if it would be possible in the future to put a note about strobing lights in the description or in the beginning of the video. I hadn't heard of Ultrasound prior to this review and I didn't know that the title had massive strobe lights. Those kinds of flashing lights trigger seizures for me and for a lot of other people and if there is a note ahead of time we can just skip those scenes. Usually the trailers aren't that bad when it comes to that kind of effect, but Ultrasound was really intense. No worries though if you can't add it. I hope you all have a great start to your summer!

Haha, i know the people in the "60 seconds to live" trailer!

Johan Salberg

Also the sheer fact that Ti West is still allowed to make movies after all those people in the audience died of boredom during "The Roost", "Cabin Fever 2" and "House of the Devil"... :/

I went into "The Northman" completely cold aside from knowing the director, and only figured out that it was the source legend of Shakespeare's Hamlet when the main guy's name "Amleth" sounded a lot like "Hamlet" in some dialogue. The movie's style has an artistic authenticity to it, which really appeals to my tastes, so it's my favorite movie this year so far.

DonMac

Kinda disappointed not to hear them talk about Ti West's X. Lots of interesting talking points ie. Mike and his relationship with the elderly, Jay's love of weird sex pervert shit, and the fact Ti West convinced the studio to shoot a prequel as well while making X. Eh. Maybe at the end of year catch-up?

Steven

I fell for the subverted expectations moment at first, but I realized mid-pause that the pause is there to let the viewer think of the guy in Twin Peaks, perhaps even let the viewer say the guy's name out loud. Also, Jay said that he looked the guy up on IMDb and there is no way that Jay would have missed that piece of information. So, the edit seems to be deliberate. That's really good editing.

Marvin Falz

Thanks!

Watch the movies first.

Manuel Johnen

I've had Ultrasound, Fresh, and King Knight on my watchlist for a while now. So..... can someone tell me if these are spoilery reviews, i. e. do I have to watch the movies first?
