February Updates

Hey everyone. We just shot another Picard re:View with Mike and Rich, so that will be coming soon. We're also planning to get back into Half in the Bag soon with a sort-of catch up episode. Not a 20 movie episode or anything, just a couple of movies that we missed in theaters and felt like talking about now (including Parasite). We have no plans or interest in seeing Birds of Prey (and based on early box office, I guess nobody else does either). We're also planning a re:View with Jay and Josh of the underseen 1993 comedy Freaked, directed by Bill S. Preston Esq.

Comments

Just watched Freaked after seeing this--that was completely insane. Looking forward to seeing what Jay and Josh have to say about it.

Jacob Little

Birds of prey absolutely slaps everyone, just putting that out there, its everything deadpool wishes it was

Milo Andotis

I hope the Canadians come for a visit soon! I miss Jim

Amanda Flagg

I really wanna hear Mike's thoughts on Parasite

Thomas Rosilio

It was great, but not sure I got it.

Kendel Fargo

Reviews are not equal to box office receipts

John

Parasite, meh.

Kendel Fargo

The reason I subscribe is for you guys' unique take on things. I really appreciate that you don't pander to the mainstream audiences. You're still a bunch of hacks though

Nick McGrath

Freaked is another movie where I thought I was the only person who knew it existed. To the point where I kind of thought I imagined it...

Connor Martin

I certainly wouldn't mind a biweekly Picard discussion. Would be a great way to stay up-to-date, now that I've dropped it.

Martin Tenfisch

I think Freaked might have one of the most funny trailers I've ever seen.

Steve Can Still Believe

Love everything you do but where's the Cats content, huh? Where is it?

Joshua Marchant

Their expressions perfectly mirror my crushing existential depression over everything Star Trek for years now. A shining fictional light of reflective, thoughtful hope on the human condition has been completely dismantled and destroyed.

Pink Apocalypse

I loved Freaked when I was a kid! Oh man, I haven't seen that movie in years.

Rachel Snead

Mike and Rich`s Star Trek re:views are by far the most grounded and realistic commentary about these shows online. Keep them coming!

Burke

Looking forward to more talk about Picard. Rich is right, the Federation is corrupt AF.

Mike St Louis

Really? I've been seeing actually tons of positive reviews for Birds of Prey? That was early reviews though, maybe it's changed since then I don't know.

Derrick Eide

How can you revisit somewhere you never leave?

Dion Turner

Please revisit #FuckButtPoint

RealNoDeuces

I actually saw Birds of Prey and don't blame you for choosing not to review it. I can only speak for the small city in Korea where I chose to see it, but there was myself, 4-5 of the other native English teachers, and maybe 1 to 3 other Koreans. Maybe it's a side effect of the corona virus news that no one is wanting to go out, but I think if it was a Marvel movie the attendance would have been much higher. HQ is no Wonder Woman or Captain Marvel, I guess.

AllGoodNamesRGone

I could do without another Picard re:View, but other than that I'm looking forward to the other stuff. Although I'm already counting the days to the next BOTW episode. Those are just my favorites.

RedVIII

What’s Birds of Prey? Didn’t know you guys had to disclose that your not reviewing niche indie films.

Jayde Alexander

Birds of Prey came out? That's news to me.

Sarzac

I was hoping to watch Birds of Prey _through_ your eyes. Now I'll never see it.

TheSacNews

Oh man, I went to a midnight screening of Freaked a few years back with Alex Winter and some of the cast there. The production sounded just insane, along with meetings with the film executives and the rollout. Seems like they wanted something closer to Bill & Ted and were just baffled by what this movie ended up being. Fun stuff.

Dan Port

Brought to you by the Everything Except Shoes Corporation.

Kegan

Also, I didn't see Birds of Prey doing as poorly as it did, and I also thought Jay would be semi-interested in it just because of the R-rating.

A new Half in the Bag (With Parasite! Finally!), a Freaked re:View and another Picard episode recap? Loaded couple weeks of RLM content coming up, I am pumped. I am glad you guys are doing more frequent reviews during this season of Picard compared to the last couple of seasons of Discovery, again, I find Picard way more watchable than Discovery and I'm sure you guys do as well.

Would love to see Mike and Rich do weekly recaps (re:Caps?) of Picard episodes. Sort of a counterpoint to the show's official recap show hosted by TV's Wil Wheaton. (On a side note, it's nice to see Wheaton back in the Star Trek fold after his long Berman banishment.)

Brian McKeon

Freaked is an underrated classic and I didn't know Keanu was in it for years!

Random Wookie

Yeah! Another Picard re:View. I hoped that you liked episodes 2 and 3 a bit more. I liked it. My expectations were low but it's better than I expected (good instead of just okay).

Vincent

Parasite is my pick for best picture by a country mile, can't wait to see that episode.

Kane

Hell yeah I watched Freaked for the first time early last year and loved it

Steven Francisco Santana

Parasite ❤️

Carl Emmoth

I'm really not sure why Mike and Rich aren't waiting for more of Picard to be out. Is there really enough content to make the reviews feel worthwhile? Didn't feel that way for this first review, if I'm being honest.

8thchild

The biggest problem with Picard is that it's so bland. It is a generic sci fi show covered in Star Trek juice.

Rudy Casale

I’m probably going to stop watching Picard until the whole season is out (maybe if I binge watch the whole season it will feel like something actually happens). I’ll keep watching any re:Views you guys do though! They’re much more interesting than the actual show. Keep it up guys!

Will

You killed Kirk Douglas, you monsters!

Juan Calvo

I am a HUGE fan of Freaked. The Rastafar-eyes are just so fucking cute. How could you resist?

Paul Lilienthal

I can’t wait for the Half in the Bag episode on BRAHMS: THE BOY(ring) 2!!!

Lelio Mulas

I keep hoping to see an update on when new merchandise is coming back to the site. :(

Ronald Tomicki

I bet they’ll be more upset if it wins 11 times at the Supermeat and Fish Awards

Enrico Balducci

Hey Jay have you changed your thoughts on Joker (Which you should) and if not, will you be upset if it wins all 11 Oscar nominations?

Michael Gussler

Yep, that's what spurred the idea to do the re:View episode! --->jay

Red Letter Media

"We have no plans or interest in seeing Birds of Prey" You horrible SEXIST MONSTERS!!!11

Andy

That would be more of a re:View thing.

Red Letter Media

We had gotten a gift card for AMC theaters and our first thought was "cool, but there's no good movies coming out for months!" Keep up the good work guys.

Tina Mora

Jay, did you get this yet? https://mondotees.com/products/freaked-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-2xlp

Steve Myers

Thanks for all the fantastic content you make, you make life happier. :)

Cristy Zamora

woukd you guys ever consider doing a half and the bag episode where you go back through classic Harold Ramis films and give your thoughts?

Drake Martin

There's been TWO more episodes now.

Red Letter Media

In the future, we will be sure to check with you personally about who we are friends with and what specific content we make. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

Red Letter Media

Mike and Rich talking about Star Trek is a blessing for my soul, even if it's about a bad series. Thanks for putting up with it Jay!

Andre K

Oh yeah there is a new Picard episode. I completely forgot about that...
