November Updates

Hey everyone! Thanks for all the nice comments about our Halloween Best of the Worst. It was a heavy episode both in terms of shooting and editing so we're glad people liked how it turned out. We had to use pretty much every light and modifier we had to properly light it, so even breaking down the set and trying to organize our lights and get everything back to normal was a big pain in the ass. We'll be posting outtakes from the episode here in the next few days.

Now that October's out of the way, we have at least four video ideas to shoot in the next month or so including a spotlight episode of Best of the Worst (not sure on the exact movie yet but we have it narrowed down to a few options) as well as a couple of re:Views, one for the kind-of forgotten sci-fi film Enemy Mine and yes, we will be doing a video about Dune. Not a Half in the Bag but a re:View comparing the Lynch version to the new version with our first guest in about two years, Colin from Canada!

Comments

Awesome idea!

Fox

I thought the set looked really good this year, so it was funnier to watch Jay trash it.

Joseph Gross

Really would love a Half in the Bag for Dune. A re:view comparing the two is also a great idea, but this is quite possibly the biggest sci-film of the year and it seems like a Half in the Bag is warranted. Happy to hear Colin is coming back!

New York ninja is glorious, I know someone there bought it or vinegar syndrome send it to you :-)

Jeff Kleist

Colin from Canadaaaaaaa!!!!

Netero H

I really wanna hear Jay talk about Last Night In Soho

YAY COLIN

Tony Dupre

the Dune comparison sounds fun! Seeing the new one tonight - don't forget the TV movie version from around 2000 - which has forced perspective background miniatures they put too close to the actors and you can see their shadows falling onto the "giant cities" 3 feet behind them

Matt P

Sounds great, but no Half In The Bags planned?

Xanthias

You guys are doing a good job and I like it.

Stephen Navarrete

I was curious about that set. Was that filmed in the warehouse or on location? Because if that was a built set really well done RLM crew.

AllGoodNamesRGone

Honestly, my first thought was Mike and Colin. Just because Mike has spoken before about his love of intelligent, serious science fiction that you rarely see in movies nowadays. Jay's awesome and we all love him, but I was hoping to hear Mike's opinion about the new Dune.

AllGoodNamesRGone

Sp... Spa...ssp...aaa... Ss...sp...pace...ccc...cco...

Rhea

Is there ONE movie that's bad enough to NOT have any fans...? :/

Manuel Johnen

Oh hell yeah! Hope it’s a Jay + Colin re:view, you guys have great chemistry when talking about films

Charlie

In Soviet Russia, Enemy Yours

Rhea

Thanks guys, Enemy Mine is awesome. That was also one of those movies that was always on cable randomly through the 80s and 90s, excellent pick!

Rattslinger

DUNE! Hell yeah!

JH

These are all great updates!

David S

nice, colin is the best

Enemy Mine is wild shit!

Enemy Mine was so huge in Soviet Union, it was pretty much the first American science fiction movie to be shown in theaters there, many people went to see it multiple times. I'm pretty sure most people went to see it. Ironic considering the fact it was a flop in the US.

Loved the episode & excited for Colin! One request / dream: could you review the Mads Mikkelsen film 'Another Round'? Not sure about its US release schedule & apologies if it's been requested already. But it's an homage to drinking (its wonders and its depths) - an amazing film that I can see RedLetterMedia embracing. Love you guys x

So excited Colin will be back!!

The lighting was EXCELLENT on this episode! Really enjoyed it.

I have a feeling YouTube updated the TOS, requiring the censoring.

Jessie Zimmer

Glad to see you guys aren't going to skip Dune. Any of the RLM gang fans of the source material?

FUCK YES COLIN!!!!

Nicole Veneto

I have to disagree - I really liked Villeneuve's DUNE: PART ONE, though I would love to see a Re:Vue comparing it to Lynch's version and the Sci-Fi Channel mini as well....

Timothy Liebe

I'm so happy to finally have Colin back one of the best guests.

The ending gets a bit STAR WARS-y, but up to that point it's a surprisingly faithful adaptation of Barry Longyear's novella....

Timothy Liebe

More a Battlestar Galactica episode - they did the Enemy Mine scenario in Galactica 1980 S01E10 "The Return of Starbuck". Starbuck is stranded on an enemy planet with a Cylon and they become friends. There is even a baby, although a mysterious woman shows up, already pregnant, to have the baby because of course Cylons are machines.

GadgetBlues

excited to see colin again and for the Enemy Mine discussion. always thought that movie was basically a Star Trek episode

joshkg

It's fun. Weird but fun. Once you've seen it you'll never forget it.

Dustin Baugh

I'm guessing Jay is paired up with Colin for the "Dune" double-feature re:View given that a David Lynch movie is involved, making Jay mandatory. And I guess "Enemy Mine" will be Mike and Rich because it's a Star Trek-y like movie so that alone should repel Jay. (Now to wait and see how wrong I am.)

DonMac

Canadians have been able to fly into the US for a while now, it's just land borders that are opening

Now were they ripping off Enemy Mine or Hell in the Pacific? that's the question. Still a great episode.

Ruperthrax

how can you even re:view dune its such a garbage fire.

Dr Trash

Fucking love ENEMY MINE! Although I don't think I could bear to watch it now after becoming a father. Not yet anyway.

Ruperthrax

Wow that was fast lol, I think the border just opened yesterday basically

Ryan Lind

I always look forward to the Halloween episodes and you guys didn’t disappoint. Keep up the amazing work. I love all that you guys do

C.R.

I noticed recently that you guys have been censoring violent shots in the movies you watch a lot more frequently. It really seemed to happen a lot in the Halloween BOTW. Is this because of Youtube policy changes? I seem to remember you guys used to only ever censor nudity in the past. Exploding Varmints and the real-life police injury images from Surviving Edged Weapons were maybe the only exceptions I remember until recent months, but that's obviously real violence as opposed to fictional. Just curious if you guys were being pressured by outside forces.

Chris L

Over/under on the number of times Mike references TNG Season 3 episode "The Enemy" during the Enemy Mine re:View?

Chris L

I was thinking the same. Jay mentioned it back before the Demonic HITB in late August. I still haven't watched the second half so I don't know if they just lost enthusiasm for it, maybe it was terrible? Figured they'd at least want to talk about Mack, he was pretty good in the first part.

Chris L

You guys gonna do a Half in The Bag for Eternals? It's the first Rotten movie of the MCU so I figured you'd guys be interested. Heard a lot of comparisons to DC movies to that one

Daniel Carlson

Enemy Mine is a hidden gem IMO

Mithos56

Now you have me wondering who at RLM is a fan of the 1984 Dune.

DonMac

This is tremendously great news. A DUNE comparison is what I thought I wanted this whole time, but there is apparently something I now crave more. ENEMY MINE is perfect for Re:View and has such wonderful lessons. It might not be perfect but it sure has a heart. Can’t wait!

Jim Partridge

Can we look forward to other beloved regular guests returning soon, such as Mack, Freddie, and Len?

Rick Drake

No HITB for Free Guy or Shang Chi?

Jeremy W

going to have to wait a few years for Villeneuve to make the rest of the film to be able to compare them

SBMoonbeam

a re:Watch of ENEMY MINE!?!?! I'M SO HAPPY!! I LOVE THAT MOVIE!! HOORAY!!

Timonger

“Opinions are like assholes. Mine are right.” I need that t-shirt. Not a scratchy 100% cotton one I’ll never wear. A nice poly-blend. I’ll buy it.

Did the other Canadian manage to get away?

I'd like to second this, and add, yes please!

Jessie Zimmer

Same.

Jessie Zimmer

Damn y'all are busy. Thank you for the updates and the endless entertainment. And, yay, one of the two Canadians are back! I've missed seeing Colin and Jim in videos. Seeing everyone else so excited for Colin's grand return makes me smile. Bunch a wholesome people.

Jessie Zimmer

So happy to have at least one of the Canadians back.

JakeA503

Maybe we’ll get lucky and see Colin as a guest on the upcoming BOTW as well 🤞

rachel

I love Enemy Mine! Looking forward to the Dune videos! I used to really dislike the Lynch movie as a kid, but I really dug that Spice Driver Fan Edit of Dune 1984

Joey Hollywood

Colin my sweet

Matt Lawrence

Enemy Mine, wow that’s hitting all the warm fuzzy 80s sci-fi nostalgia buttons

Kim Luu

Fantastic! I won my bet on the dual Dune re:view! Now for the over under on if Jay is going to be forced to talk about dune 1984.

Drip Dingus

Dune in the hooouuse!

Sounds great!

Sweet, long time no see Colin from Canada!

Cesar

Can’t wait to see Colin again!!! Yay!

Ronald Tomicki

Colin's back, sweet!

Colin my beloved

Rhea

After the two Suspiria Re:views, is this going to have to become a new subcategory of Re:views? Old vs. New?

Michael Parker

Yes, I love a re:View!

Amanda

Looking forward to it

Ken_Broth

I love Enemy Mine! Looking forward to it.

Aberdine Bumbledorf

The Canadians are multiplying again!

Lelio Mulas

Thank you for your work.

Benway23

You guys are the best. Seeing how hard you work to make the sets look interesting is such a treat.

Nathan Campbell

Colin! YAY!

Brandon Shane

Oh no, the visual effects artists from Canada are multiplying again!

schopi

Johnny buoyyyy! 😄

Brad Marshall

Oh shit... "Enemy Nein!"... Wolfgang Petersen's Hollywood downfall after "Das Boot"... :(

Manuel Johnen

re:view for the great muppet caper when

Mads Jenkins

I would like to request Colin do his Gary Busey, thank you.

Cary Thrasher

Awesome Colin's back! Also Tim is clearly now an official "member" of RLM (like Wizard)

Jake Martin

Please do a Plinkett review of Eternals and/or Ghostbusters Afterlife

Blake Harvey

The lesson from Dune was "always get final cut." The lesson from episodes with Colin from Canada is, always get Colin from Canada back, and always get Jim from Canada back, too. I already can hear them flyyyying in nooow...

Marvin Falz

I've been getting my Colin fix by listening to his podcast No Such Thing As A Bad Movie it's really good.

Eli Harold

yes! Lynch Dune vs New Dune! That's precisely what i wanted to see! Thank you guy for this great service you do to humanity!

Black Mask

You bring so much happiness into my life (and all the others that watch your videos) so thank you for all the hard work that you do!

Maureen Vallette

Thank you so much for being so up to date on Patreon updates. You're the only people I subscribe to on Patreon because of your timely updates and professionalism.

Melissa Deuber

HELL yes to Enemy Mine. And HELL yes to 1984 Dune. And HELL yes to Sgt. Zima!

Zan Ferguson

Yay Colin!!!!!! Love that little leaf

CHRISTY R

Lets go!! Enemy Mine has been on my list of movies to watch for awhile now. Guess I better get to it. I'm looking forward to nice sci movie about a mine. Also can't wait for the Dune video. Will this be the first time they really talk about Lynch's Dune? I'm more excited for that than the new movie (and I was HYPED for the new movie)

Rudy Casale

I woke up thinking about Enemy Mine this morning so now I’m a little freaked out.

Lowell Bartholomee

Oh heck yeah, I missed Colin so much, honestly! I hope you can do a BOTW with both Canadians soon as well!

RedVIII

holy shit! re:views, botw spotlight, and Colin all in my birthday month! you guys are the best

Brian

I think you're referring to the episode "Darmok."

Robert Dodrill

Thanks for all you do. That Halloween episode was really great, even if it didn't have a rock and roll movie.

Cameron Kilgore

Glad to see at least one of our Canadian friends will be back for a bit! Hopefully Jim gets to come back too.

Jeff Schneider

Can't wait! And we appreciate that huge pain in the ass ya'll dealt with -- it was worth it.

Yay Colin! Now get Freddie back and all will be well again.

Dane Liergaard

Thanks for all your work, especially not plagiarizing anything 👍🏻

KC

omg Collin is coming back yaaay! The Halloween BOTW was great, of course it was hilarious but it also looked fantastic, it was worth all that work

You spoil us. Thank you everyone!

Matthew Chambers

Awesome! You guys fuckin rock. I look forward to every video you release and I appreciate all the hard work you guys put into them. Bravo! Excited to see Colin again!

Lou DiMarzo

You guys have absolutely been killing it lately, appreciate all the work and the humor is still top notch. I'm excited for Colin, curious what Jim's up to as well? His deadpan delivery in BotW always made me chuckle. Hope you bring Len back sometime too.

JTruts

Don’t forget the miniseries. Sure it was made for $1.95, but it was book accurate, and by light years has the best Baron. I’m hoping for the spotlight to be Vibrations. ;)

Jeff Kleist

Colin and Dune - Christmas is coming early!

Amy Hitchner

What happened to reviewing American Horror Story?

Todd Monchilov

Happy to see Colin and happy to see Rich looking really healthy too.

Dave Pallas

So hyped for that Dune Re:View

Laura Wishart

Enemy Mine? Oh Star Trek References are incoming XD. There is one episode that had a very similar story to the movie, but I can't remember it exactly anymore. But yeah, I visited the Bavaria Filmstudios where parts (all of it?!) were filmed and I kind of liked the movie, but wouldn't have thought that you guys would make a video about it.

Colin AND a Dune re:view??? What a happy day.

Danny Serna

What a great update! the Halloween BOTW had some great editing. Awesome production value.

David at The Vinyl Score

good shout on the Dune:view. loved the Halloween episode of BotW, really enjoy the extra effort you guys put into it!

Colin's back as a guest! very cool

Michael Middleton

I really liked it as a kid!

Peter Varga

Enemy Mine was a HBO favorite of mine back in the day, awesome to see a small scale SciFi film that just focuses on characters.

jas722

OH MY GOD COLON FINALLY RETURNS!!!! I genuinely got emotional reading that.

Jason Sealy

Thanks for all your efforts guys! We all appreciate all the work ye put in

Seo Hurley

yay! Colin is back!! not only the latest BotW but all your videos are great!

Michael

Nándor Varga

Enemy Mine AND both versions of Dune!?!?! STOKED! 😍

Geekyalbatross

<3

Arman Borghem

Great work!! The camera work on the Halloween episode was especially great. Did you guys use an automated, curved slide? The subtle camera movement added tons of value. Also YESSSSS COLIN IS BACK

Gary Probert

YES

I've gotta say-- the lighting and color balance on this one was just sick. Fun episode overall, but technically looked fantastic, as well.

ComicPop

Colin from Canada voted best Canadian by the editors of Canadia Fancy Magazine

Conor

AW HELL YEAH, COLIN’S BACK

Adriana Lee Lopez

All the work shows in that Halloween BotW, ALL OF IT. Congratulations to Jay for destroying that fucking bastard TV!

Michael Nuccio

My wife’s first comment was that she liked the lighting, so well done, guys.

Jon

COLIN FROM CANADA!!!

Brandon Wingard

Colin from Canadia! I hope he’s wearing Mikes Body Rap toy again.

A great episode, I appreciate all your efforts!

While you guys are reading comments, I wanna let you know that I've been sending the link to everyone saying "LOOK AT THE FOAM FIREPLACE RICH EVANS MADE!!" cause its incredible, thought youd like to know
