August Updates

Never.

Rime Pendragon

Agreed.

GatoFromGermany

Please don't do Shang Chi. Keep doing original stuff that you're interested in. Here, I'll do the Shang Chi review: It was another Marvel movie. It was fine. A financially safe movie playing off current social political trends for easy marketing and appeal. Done.

Lance Pendergrass

When are you going to do the Half in the Bag review for Shang Chi & the legend of the ten rings? 

Mr. Derek Magnuson

Are you doing a half in the bag for Shang-chi?

Trevor Jones

This just makes me want to rewatch the original. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Jessie Zimmer

Oh man, I hope they talk about Dark Star on the re:View!

Baphomet Mama

It's not, it's actually one of the worst things Carpenter ever did and total garbage. One of the low points of the first season of MoH... Not that "The Ninth Gate" is a masterpiece or anything, but it is better than the totally awful "Cigarette Burns".

Manuel Johnen

If you can find it, try to fit in the John Carpenter episode of Masters of Horror, "Cigarette Burns". It's like a better, more coherent Ninth Gate with Norman Reedus and Udo Kier.

Aaron Murphy

I want a Quick Cuts of Mike just staring at the camera and talking about Ghost Adventures with corresponding footage. I dare you.

Gary Probert

A man who spends his woodworking income on prostitutes.

Andrew Ritchie

What’s a ‘John Carpeter’?

Stephan Kwapis

Get with it!! I don’t want my two bucks a month going to waste!! P.s.—come visit Hurley.

Eric Sharpe

Apparently Disney is reviving the Rocketeer as "Return of the Rocketeer". I'd be surprised if Mike and Rich don't watch it. Oh, and apparently "it will focus on a retired Tuskegee airman". I hope RLM gets paid.

Erzaad

Just watched Nobody and loved it so much it had me wanting you guy's take on it. I'm hoping it makes it to a Half in the Bag wrap up. By no means a perfect movie, but the tone was so great I didn't even care.

Cary Thrasher

They’re not going to do a HITB on movies that are only in theatres.

Randal Smith

Great stuff cheers guys

Snittzi

I hope you guys talk about candyman at some point

Guillermo Morales

Damn, I was hoping for maybe a Re:View/Half in the Bag on Candyman 1992 and Candyman 2021. Still, it's always fun to see y'all potentially rip into something not very good at all. Fingers crossed Mike and Jay highlight films like Candyman, Green Knight and The Night House in some kind of 2021 catch up video. The John Carpenter video sounds cool. I'm not in love with a lot of his work myself. I mainly just love the og Halloween and The Thing is my favorite horror film. Other than that I like Christine and In the Mouth of Madness the best out of his other movies.

Michael Parker

really looking forward to this re:View, maybe a good chance for Jay to redeem himself from his recent trivia losses...

JTruts

Close, but no. The correct answer is either Rich emerging from D.I.X. or Jay emerging from the Man Hole.

margrave86

No. I love Mike's total apathy towards the thing that made him famous. He does whatever he wants, isn't tied down to anything, and totally ignores what "the fans" want. And that's why he's so powerful.

margrave86

Cue Mike waking from a hazy dream vision of a shadowy Jay emerging from the main entrance to DIX a la “Prince of Darkness.”

BlueGlurp

That Carpenter films Re:View sounds amazing! Looking forward to it.

AllGoodNamesRGone

As long as you guys have plans for another Best of the Worst Halloween drunken stupor like last time you'll always have my Patreon support. It's what's keeping me going through this Pandemic.

Jason Gonzalez

That's one of his worst movies... :/

Manuel Johnen

MacCulkin...?

Manuel Johnen

I’m looking forward to the John Carpenter re:View!!! Haven’t seen all his movies yet but most. When you hear those synth basses you know you’re in for a good time

fxdpt

tell Mike to stop being lazy and do the final Star Wars plinkett video

Stephenn

What about the Redletter curse...? Everytime you talk about someone, the person dies soon afterwards... do you want to kill him...? :/

Manuel Johnen

P.S. A Carpenter re-view sounds awesome!

schopi

Oh geez, Demonic. Watched it a couple of days ago. Well.... would better fit a BOTW episode but ok.... There are such interesting movies out right now, The Green Knight, Violation, No Man of God.... Oh well, I'm sure it's going to be a funny and entertaining HITB as always anyway.

schopi

One of my favorite things I learned about John Carpenter recently is that he loves playing video games! Excited for the re:View

Jessica

there are going to be demonic robots in it right?

Chris Wakefield

Who’s Neil blombkin

TheSingingBush

That movie is spectacularly and wonderfully bad. There’s so much to unpack. I’d be cool with it even if it’s selected somehow on BOTW.

rachel

I agree.

rachel

Oh nice, I actually worked on some of the technical graphics stuff for Demonic! Don't rip it up too hard 🙈

Andy Chmilenko

Good timing-the Blank Check podcast is doing a series on John Carpenter right now, an episode on each of his films in order. Last one was Halloween which was excellent

Eric Darling

When you say newest season of AHS do you mean last season( 1984), Stories ( the season that started a month ago thats a new series entirely of one off episodes with a confusing af name), or the season that started last night staring Mr. McCulkin?

damien glenn

Will we ever see Vibrations get a Re:view. Teasing us on PLINkETTO wasn’t fair ;)

Jeff Kleist

Dark Star and Prince of Darkness are underrated.

Stephen Navarrete

Im curious, every neil blomkamp movie after district 9, has been a dissapointment. The trailer for demonic looks crazy in a good way

Excited about the John Carpenter re:View. Curious to hear what your thoughts are on certain movies of his. Hopefully it’s an extended episode as well.

rachel

Oh yeah your homeboy Macaulay's in the new season. That's literally all I know about it but I feel like that's all that really matters.

Rhea

A Carpenter Retrospective sounds nice. They Live better be ranked in the top 5 or else.

Supro3D

Very.....

CCW_101

Love it. You guys should look into hypnotherapy- I sleep like a baby to the smooth sounds of Rich Evans cackling.

A F

You can release that John Carpenter Re:view anytime you want, but I am not watching it until October

Katy

I feel like they're making a point to not even acknowledge the existence of The Green Knight

Rhea

G of M is one of my guilty pleasures.... I actually liked it...lol

Larry DeStefano

Wow! So much awesome in one update! I can't wait to complain that you didn't put They Live higher on the JC rank off!

Darren Broadbent

Carpenter did excellent work and took great care with Big Trouble in Little China (though unfortunately the marketing team did not). As a lady of mixed Chinese/white ancestry, I do not take offense from this film in the slightest (it’s actually in my top 5 favorites of all time), although I think the opinion of how racist the film is varies in the Asian community (relevant), as well as the pretentious white folk community (unneeded). I grew up watching it, and always loved that the real hero is Wang Chi (and remains the dreamy one). Being mixed-race, I don’t always feel like I 100% belong or have opinions that are fully valued in any society… For me this movie’s appeal is that it fuses cultures (both of mine) in a fantastical and fun way. Pure love.

Love it. Especially looking forward to that Carpenter re:View.

Steven

Damn! A total Carpenter retrospective? Can't wait!

Tom Kolåsæter

Hell yeah, RLM pimps

Trevor Wills

God bless the work you do.

Renus Dewberry

I don't want to delay this great sounding Re:View, but since it is time consuming, I could guess maybe it'll come around Halloween time?

E.J. Tangonan

"Movies are a mess and nothing matters!" I feel you, but I have to disagree with an inspired quote by Captain Kirk (Star Trek): "NO!" ---- Really looking forward to Rich and Jay talking about John Carpenter movies.

Marvin Falz

Sounds great and was just saying to my son yesterday that it had been a while since we had a HIT (I must be psychic 🤪), perhaps I need to rewatch some John Carpenter movies.

Karen Morvan

Completely missed demonic, excited for the Carpenter vid. Are you doing a half in the bag on the Green Knight?

Stevie Eilish

Not til it's available where we can showcase clips from it!

Red Letter Media

Can't wait to chain-smoke the fuck outta the JC video.

Lelio Mulas

*synth music intensifies*

Eli Harold

I watched demonic. Meh

Randal Smith

JC's Prince of Darkness!!

Silentphil9

Saw him in '19 at Keystone Comic Con (remember when we could actually attend cons in person?). He's now a man who loves nothing more than playing video games and deservedly so. Going down the rabbit hole of his works is going to be tremendous. Maybe throw in some music composed entirely on a Casio?

Lisa

Can we make sure Mike says "ghost" at least once. It's my favorite thing,

Bryan Wolfe

Oh wow. Carpenter movies.

Daniel E. Passaro

Y’all say nothing matters, but this right here matters a lot, so thank you.

MarriottPlayer

Next quiz show should be something they (may) have little to no film knowledge of. Like "Yugoslavian Cinema!"

James Van Sickle

Might as well do a half in the bag for The Nighthouse. I feel like Jay and Mike will enjoy it more than Demonic.

Nate Bogner

Danzig's new movie comes out this weekends. Hope you guys watch it and talk about it soon!

Jessica

Oh my gosh John Carpenter rankings yes please!

Kim Luu

God I hope they like The Fog as much as I do.

Ian Burt

I remember apologizing to my wife after taking her to see Ghosts of Mars. John really lost his mojo after the 80s.

James Van Sickle

Keep it up....not much longer we'll all be dead and that's half the battle! Go Red Letter!!

Erik Sheedlo

Very much looking forward to everything mentioned! So many spooky scares and it’s not even Halloween yet! 🎃

Brad Marshall

Occasionally…. Very occasionally, I feel like I should revisit ‘Ghosts of Mars’ - but I never do.

Dion Turner

Can't wait for the next Quiz Show about Star Wars where all of you stare blankly as the host reads from the Wookiepedia!

Andre K

As long as y'all are following your dreams

Laura Wishart

Carpenter project sounds great

D C

John Carpenter Re:View Yessss, can't wait

jas722

Dark Star #1

Kris Luedke

The John Carpenter film ranking sounds like so much fun! I can't wait! Also, where can we find Demonic if we wanna potentially check it out beforehand?

Dez

Looking forward to that Carpenter vid!! One of the best directors to ever do it.

Craplatte

Awesome stuff!

Filippo Maurri
