April Updates

Hey everyone! Thanks for all the positive comments about the 100th episode of Best of the Worst! It was one of the most fun videos to edit recently. Coming up, we're working on a re:View of the completely forgotten Star Wars/Mad Max rip-off Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone, produced by Ivan Reitman. Why are we doing such a random movie? Why not?! In addition to that, we're working on a video that goes into a bit of detail on our VHS collection and our attempts to organize all this crap. Coming soon!

Best of the Worst #100 was one of the best in awhile. Loved it!

Mahaloth

I love when you're part way through and it dawns on you that you actually know what they're talking about but forgot all about it.

Lisa

Re:Views are fantastic. Makes me want to watch the movies you guys are talking about or re-watch the ones I saw way back when. Never stop!!!

GABBYMAX

These upcoming videos sound interesting. I enjoy when the Re:Views touch on videos that not a lot of people have heard of (i.e. the Re:View of Freaked). Also will be interesting to see what goes into keeping all those tapes organized.

AllGoodNamesRGone

You've already organized your Nukies, so what else is there to do?

Dachannien

Actually, I don't want that review, people tend to die after they talk about them... :/

Manuel Johnen

I'm still waiting for the Prince of Darkness Re:View. Like this comment if you want that Re:View. Actually, hit it no matter what.

Silentphil9

Heh. Exactly the same boat as you dude. Just joined late last night before bed, right before sleeping to my playlist of their TNG re:views lol.

I edit multi-cam synced shoots a lot, like interviews with cutaways and b roll in a similar fashion, and that completely checks out. If they recorded for instance 3 hours of discussion table, on three synced cameras, you’re looking at 9 hours of total footage to look through just there. And that’s only a single once over. Then to actually chunk out and edit down all that material, the rule of thumb is like 4 times the amount of footage time you have to properly pull an edit together of that material. And all of that is just like the “lettuce and tomato” of the overall “burger” of post production on this kind of project 🤯

If you had asked me before they made that video from a couple of years ago whether I would watch 30 minutes of Mike reading the names of VHS tapes, I would have asked why I would ever do that. Then they made that video and it was hilarious.

"Why are we doing [x]? Why not?" I feel like this has been the reasoning behind much of BotW over the years, to wonderfully disastrous effect!. By the way, in listening to old Pre-Rec streams as podcasts over the last few months, I recently heard Jay say that it takes at least a week to edit BotW videos (probably longer now, as that was like five years ago). That's amazing. Thank you.

Neil Peart, Lord of Drums

Congratulations, guys! Well-deserved.

Robert Perry

The Kid Detective is a 99 ¢ rental on iTunes at the moment. It was mentioned on a "Mike and Jay talk about" episode recently

Robert Daniel Pickard

I'll always remember the thrill of seeing Spacehunter in 3D at the Times Cinema. I miss those midnight Friday Night Freak Shows.

LB876

Oh, I love you guys so much. ❤️

Juho Huuki

The 100th episode was awesome. So much so that I want to bingewatch the whole catalog of BotW... again! Keep it up!

Vincent

Fantastic work on the 100th episode! Can't wait for 100 more! Looking forward to all you have in store for us.

Alekto989.M41

Woohoo! I love the organizational videos.

Munchy Lunchco

In the 80s, AMC used to play schlock genre movies for $1.00 on Wednesday mornings. Space Hunter was a mainstay for this event. It's worth watching, from what I remember.

Tony P.

100 really was one of the funniest things I've seen. THANK YOU!

USS BATTLESHIP

I'd never heard of Spacehunter before and certainly didn't expect it to star Molly Ringwald of all people. Any hitb's in mind for the near future?

Rhea

The DVD and VHS collection videos are mesmerizing. I'm glad you're expanding that universe.

Amy Hitchner

I can't believe you guys blue balled us on the nukie, although Neil Breen somehow makes up for it.

Analog Drome

Yes!

Ville Vehmasaho

You guys are amazing!

DELO480

Ugh, always VHS. Don't you hacks understand everything is available on streaming services nowadays.

Ville Vehmasaho

With lots of shoulder sighs...

Andréanne Dion

Fingers crossed for a re:View of this!

Andréanne Dion

I actually saw that movie. In the theater. In 3D!

Mike St Louis

Please say you're going to sort by genre and alphabetize them... Also, I've worked in libraries and book stores so I know about organizing media, I have ideas, hmu lol

Eileen Herbert

That one which we wait for little King Fausto and Oingo Boingo to show up only to be really disappointed

Bouphe

Im waiting for TNG S2+ reviews

k4yr4h

You guys are the best! All my friends are having kids/getting married so they don’t have time to hang out / talk shit so I really appreciate your content for filling that gap <3

Martin Cloughley

I dragged my long suffering mother to see SpaceHunter in 3D when I was a wee lad.

Shane Dobbie

I'm all for all of this. Just joined your Patreon after literally 10 years of enjoying your content and am overjoyed that the first post here is talking about what's next. Just the best.

Ryan Morris

Fuck yeah

sooty_mosquito

Couldn't agree more

Ian Conley

Thank you for changing some of me and my friends habits when watching bad movies. 1) Identifying characters with huge cases of the not gays 2) Finding the best of Shooting the rodeo. Continue God's work...drinking and whatever it is you do!

Erik Sheedlo

i mean who else would even want to do it?

that's_nasty

Don’t forget Spacehunter was part of the 3D boom, and sadly has not had that version preserved.

Jeff Kleist

Cool!

Daniel E. Passaro

Thanks for the update. Btw, Your voice levels on the Godzilla vs Kong HITB were too low relative to the move sounds you edited in. I usually fall asleep listening to HITBs, but on that episode the sound effects keep waking me up at a volume where your voices are comfortable. Thanks

Ricardo Montblanc

Keep up the great work! Also, should we keep sending you shitty VHS's?

Blake

It's only $2.99 to rent on Amazon. May watch it!

Daniel Frank

I think I saw Spacehunter in the theater. There was a mini-3D boom in 1982-83 and a friend and I saw every crummy 3D movie (that was PG, of course) that got released.

Daniel Frank

I would walk 500 more!

Peter Varga

Seems accurate.

Devin Blaisdell Bestor

Some call it crap, some call it art, Mike calls it Black Spine #8

Andre K

How about a bandcamp audio commentary for Diamond Cobra vs the White Fox?

Mr. Derek Magnuson

Looking forward to the VHS collection video!

Jason Kirk Harder

I would love another Vitaly Versace review!!

Lee

Only thing I didn't like about the 100th episode were the side comments about being "done." I assume joking but it still makes me nervous...

Dane Liergaard

Are we getting exclusive footage of Rich rewinding all the tapes manually?

Juan Calvo

The 100th episode is LEGENDARY!! Me and my friends all loved it and have watched it several times each already :D We always love a re:view but I'm REALLY excited for this VHS collection video. The behind the scenes stuff is my favorite!

Lee

Yes! Spacehunter has enough good ideas to warrant a remake or at least that sequel that they tease at the end

House Of Rawlings

Also I seriously cheered when Fateful Findings was announced and then cried when you all watched the suicides at the end. I'm going to watch it again now and laugh my ass off as I have vaccine side effects on the couch 👍 thank you for everything you Wisconsin dreamboats

Helena

I'd love to see a full video that gives a tour of the RLM office. We see so many bits and pieces of it, but it would be so great to see a walk-thru.

Ross Nugent

Devin Blaisdell Bestor

the latest botw episode was legit one of the greats. up there with the holiday special, and vampire assassin

Bar

The 100th episode was just a joy to watch. Its probably a compliment to the editing, but it was just one laugh after another, really non-stop, I loved it.

David Vass

Oh my god guys I absolutely love this episode. There was all the coolness in one episode. Watching you all laughing together makes me feel less alone and between friends. Thank you guys you helped me throughout the lockdown so much.

FF

Just finished the 100th BotW, great episode guys. Thanks for these updates as well!

Dan Todd

very excited!

Ken_Broth

Will there ever be another Vitaly Versace movie review?? I heard rumors of an Aladdin movie.....

Helena

great update, can't wait to see these upcoming vids

Michael Middleton

Guys I rewatch the “Our DVD...” & “Our VHS....” collection videos whenever I need a laugh. No judgment please.

YourFriendlyBartender

Lol it's obvious Jay writes the updates

Kyle Bigelow

Would love to know if you guys saw "Nobody" and what you may have thought of it!

Tony Dupre

We need a video of just your reviews of all Neil Breen movies 🤣🤣🤣

Seo Hurley

Keep it up you guys, love your work!

Juan Perdomo

hey guys they added the star wars holiday special to disney plus!!!! isnt that epic sauce ?

croc

The 100th was easily one of my favorites and the editing was fantastic
