Best of the Worst: LA Wars, Unmasking the Idol, and Robowoman

What on Earth did you inject Robowoman with?!

Sammy Allouba

So the answer to Rich’s mathematical equation is the same as the answer to life, universe and everything?

rachel

The joy you have created, will carry me through the rest of all the crazy ness! Can’t wait to see what’s next. 👍🎅🏿👍.

This is a wet dream for any escape artist who ever thought: “Balloon.”

Dan Hiestand

When you initially saw footage, didn't you assume it was released 20 years ago? I know I did.

#ReleaseTheAnkleBitersCut it just has to exist somewhere!

Tony P.

I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forget that you suggested Robowoman was anywhere between the ages of 32-64...

Jessica

Fun episode! Plus Tim Higgins, Tim Higgins, Tim Higgins.

Tim!!

Emily Hall

I can't remember if I read it somewhere else, or RLM responded to it in the community section, but the glasses were a nightmare shipping-wise.

AllGoodNamesRGone

Ankle Biters is on YouTube. Going to have to have a littlest vampire movie night.

Goldy Loxx

Robowoman exists...and was released in 2019. I fear for the world.

Adam C.

Yeah, i noticed that too, I thought they deepfaked Rich into the scenes or something

"I don't think it's a mere coincidence that I prefer American popular culture over whatever is popular here in Germany. " So you're not a fan of the directorial endeavors of Til Schweiger...? Say what...? :P

Personal story. When I found out that the 'not my Big Fat Greek Wedding' shotgun girl was played by Kerri Kasem, daughter of Casey Kasem, I was like "Casey Kasem, this name has meaning to me." In the beginning of the 80s, my parents and I would drive to my great-grandmother on sundays, to the suburban area outside of Frankfurt in the Rhein-Main-Gebiet, and we would listen to American Top 40, hosted by Casey Kasem, broadcasted by the American Forces Network. I didn't understand a word of what he was saying, but he sounded really nice, really friendly. I loved listening to the sound of his voice, the melody of his speech, it was almost hypnotic, so that when a new song started to play, the song felt like it was intruding. The fact, that I didn't understand the English language at all, probably helped to create such an almost hypnotic fixation to his voice, because his voice was all that I was able to focus on. Thinking back, I can't find a memory whether or not Casey Kasem's voice has created a foundational positive first impression which I associate with Americans, but I definitely know that this positive impression is still there, almost 40 years later. I don't think it's a mere coincidence that I prefer American popular culture over whatever is popular here in Germany. Oh, and Star Trek definitely helped, the show was broadcasted at the beginning of the 80s on German national television, in the German language, but like all great shows, Star Trek didn't suffer from the translation and somewhat boring delivery by the voice actors. The heart always comes through.

Still waiting for John Carpanter's Prince of Darkness Re:View

Silentphil9

So wait... was the tape inside ankle biters actually spongebob?

Ryan Lind

So, uh, I have Ankle Biters on DVD. You guys want it?

You mean Vampire Assassin, right? They already reviewed it!

Neil Peart, Lord of Drums

This was a great episode guys, really liked how you guys went for it!

Rattslinger

I really do think they should do an episode where they find the movie that has a back-of-the-box description that sounds the most like other B movies they've seen. They discuss it in their normal manner for like 1/2 hour ("Oh man, the part where [x] saved [y] from [z] in the warehouse was [blah]"; "I loved the part where [x] confronted [z] at the end and he [whatever'd] him in the [yup]"; etc.), then watch the movie and have another 1/2 hour to discuss how close they got.

Neil Peart, Lord of Drums

I’ve been half-watching it so far while working and I glanced over at the pixelated scene in LA Wars, and I thought the lady was just a FLOATING HEAD

Ben-K

Saw that you guys have updated your Merch Store. Just bought myself four shirts! ;) Any chance on when you'll add pint glasses? I missed out on getting "BOTW" pint glasses back in the day.

Royal-Robinson

What you drinkin there, Rich? :)

Steve Can Still Believe

That RoboWoman tag line was the same one used for Lady Terminator!

Poo In An Alleyway

1) Tim! As a Tim Higgins mark, it's always great to see him pop up 2) Hey great job on the lighting, guys. I know you upgraded the lights on the last BotW, but it's growing on me 3) 100 episodes in, and Robowoman has to be the saddest movie you guys reviewed. I just feel bad for the lead actress and her delusions of being a star. 4) I thought the camera discussion about Robowoman is a perfect example of what makes RLM great. Sure, the guys are hilarious, but they can break down on a technical level what works or doesn't work for movies in a way that's entertaining and easy for a layman viewer to understand. Their attention to the details of a film is really impressive.

AllGoodNamesRGone

Hearing the description for Ankle Biters and instead being subjected to Robowoman was like bad movie orgasm denial. Also bold of you to joke about one guy playing two characters when you have Tim "Part-Time-Bartender-Full-Time-Space-Mayor" Higgins sitting right there.

Rhea

Episode 100 is upon us. If only there was something they had 100 copies of. Lurking in the background. Waiting. Like a ticking bomb. A ticking nuclear bomb.

Mattytime

It's always good to see Tim, Shakma, and the communal blue hoodie.

Amy Hitchner

Like Bill Burr said: "Why would you wanna get a facelift? Can't you look at other facelifts and realize they haven't worked all the bugs out yet?"

Manuel Johnen

Plastic Surgery Grandmas make me sad.

Jamie Meakin

I'm not sure how you guys found that interview with Stuntman Steve Winegard, but I'm glad you shared it! Also, there seems to be a lot of similarities between LA Wars and The Sopranos. Perhaps LA Wars is what inspired David Chase to create The Sopranos.

rachel

They missed the opportunity for Rich to wear Deer Hair in the end there.

Matthew Wurzer

Nice use of heat gun time-lapse at the end.

Joshua Mannix

Guzman looks a lot like Steven Bauer (...Manny in Scarface and Don Eladio in Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul).

Clancy Murphy

Aw heck yeah, more of one of my favorite shows. Wishing yall good things!

Mira N.

Tim Higgins is my favorite Wolverine.

Renus Dewberry

I'd rather go with Joe Piscopo than Arnold Schwarzenegger for Raul Guzman... :P

Manuel Johnen

Anyone else think Robowoman's Master Rikki Lou bore a resemblance to Rich Evans? Maybe its the beard?

QB

Vinegar Syndrome is respectable, for their efforts to restore/retain crap that often times has a lot of merit.

AshesBoomstick

When does Tim's socks get their own spinoff?

Heather Sejnow

I wonder what gimmick they are doing to use to pick the movies to watch. Will there be a doing wheel? Will there be a ball drop down a peg board? Will it be a Jenga game? Will it be a drawing of lots?

Steve

You all should totally do a Best of the Worst where you talk about a movie *before* you watch it and then see how close you get.

Matthew Riley

Awesome. Something to look forward to this evening!

Matthew Gladney

I wanted to see a spongebob breakdown...

Sergiy

Just finished Zack Snyder’s justice league for the fourth time

William Ohmes

I'm happy to have the knowledge that Shakma and the Duncan Jax monkey are the same monkey.

Joshua Mannix

what a day!

Peter Varga

I was hoping it would come out today. And it did!

My day just took a turn.

Yes! L. A. Wars is great.

Johnny Mocny

Sweeeeeeeeeet!

Poo In An Alleyway

Yay! Thank you, this is just what I needed today!
