Gremlins 2 re:View blocked

What he said! MOAR CLASSIC STAR TRAK!!!!!!!!!

Oh great. Apparently the gremlins at YouTube and the gremlins at Warner Bros have joined forces to muck this up.

DonMac

Sir, I protest! I am NOT a Merry Man!

Chloe S

At least we still have this... https://youtube.com/watch?v=x01l_jMhjVM

Manuel Johnen

Sucks, but you got a new $2 tier patron. Thats gotta offset at least 100k views or something.

Boundarg

What?!? Fuckers!!

Gina Pazuzu

You should do a re-view on Warner Bros and go into intricate detail as to how much donkey dick they suck and how much they LOVE sucking donkey dick.

And Joe Dante liked the gremlins 3 pitch! https://mobile.twitter.com/joe_dante/status/1174412779626749952

angryponchos

If you can't fix that, you should give it a new, much meaner, review.

I fork over my hard earned Burger King money every month to you people. I expect some fucking results.

Can you re-do the review, replacing all clips from the movie with scenes you film with the RLM gang? 😄 You even have the right props!

Enrico Balducci

Has that happened a lot in the past, having videos blocked like this?

Annie Desrochers

WB just wants their stolen arm and egg props back. Oops -SPOILERS!

Matt Roberts

I was just trying to finish it! I had to pause yesterday and never got a chance to come back. Warner Brothers don't play. This is the first of your videos I've seen this happen to. Is this something you've run into much in the past?

SJCMX

Boy, am I glad I watched this yestereve! This reminds me (for no apparent reason): Mike & Rich, PLEASE review ALL Star Trek movies and at least ALL seasons (if not episodes) of ALL Star Trek shows! No fancy editing needed. Just sit there and talk your talk. Tie this to a higher patreon pledge. I guarantee, you can make a living from Star Trek fans alone!!

Tobias

This reminds me of an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation - Qpid. Where Q transforms Picard into Robin Hood and some of the crew into Merry Men. This was under the guise of reinvigorating Picard’s relationship with Vash (Maid Marion); but really it was just Q showing off his powers so Vash would leave with him at the end of the episode to explore the galaxy - effectively cockblocking Picard.

Dion Turner

"Hey, there is a lengthy, positive review of one of our movies that might actually generate some sales for us, how about we pay a lawyer more than this video could ever generate for us so that dos not happen."

Michael Matzat

I always wonder why that doesn't happen more often. You always pack your videos with scenes from the movies you are reviewing. And yes it should fall under fair use.

Me and my husband were saving it for our Friday night together, so I hope it will be back by then. I asked him to not watch it yet, so I would feel silly if he didn't get to watch it. Oh well.

Nadia Stremlau - Coenraad

It was too scuffed

Carl Emmoth

Great work on the re:view. This whole thing is especially frustrating given that Joe Dante himself had praised the video and linked to it on Twitter. That should have brought you so many new viewers, many of whom would have stuck around. I hope you can get it sorted out soon. Maybe offer AT&T total creative control of Nerd Crew going forward. I know that would make Disney furious but you can sort that out later.

William Pike

aw, i was really looking forward to this for tonight too :(

Michael Flores

Wow, your video was the only reason I was actually considering watching Gremlins and Gremlins 2. I guess studios don't realize how videos like yours actually help them. Glad I got to see it before it went down.

Why they would do such a thing is mind-boggling. Especially since video-essays like this effectively serve as 30 minute commercials to catch up with the film. It should be win-win for them.

Josh Wright

Vimeo?

Percy Gryce

Dang, I was about halfway through watching it earlier today. sorry gents, that is pretty lame.

Wolfman Dan

I'm jealous, I was saving it for when I got home tonight :(

Yikes. Would they do the same if it were a Private video? I'm asking for a friend...

Linnea Boyev

I'm so glad I got to watch this. I was surprised to see it got copyright claimed. Eesh you'd think they'd want he good review!

AFK Bard

I was going to watch this tonight. Warner Bros makes me say ☹️

Call Hulk Hogan, maybe he can get the video back up.

Andrew Burt

You must have leaked too many details on the upcoming Gremlins cg movie.

Am sad.

Will Sullivan

OMG I GOT TRASHED WITH THE FULL UNDERSTANDING THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO WATCH THIS TONIGHT AND I GOT ARRESTED AND NOW I CANNOT WATCH THIS VIDEO IN JAIL BECAUSE OF THE STUDIO NOT BECAUSE I WAS ARRESTED FOR MULTIPLE VEHICULAR HOMICIDES DUDE SERIOUSLY

Will Sullivan

For mind-share, it makes sense to keep using YouTube and fight the claim, but others are right about having an alternative ready. Would you be okay with adding a "Non-commerical, no-derivative, share-alike" Creative Commons license and letting fans share via BitTorrent? It wouldn't cost RLM any time, just your blessing. Anyone could download the video and create torrent file or magnet link.

They can't keep us from the TRUTH!!

Scott Smith

I picture a corporate shill gremlin blocking it from the YouTube headquarters. Hopefully the issue gets resolved soon, it's one of your best re:views so far.

Juan Calvo

Noooooo. I was waiting all day to watch it after work. Damn you, unnamed corporate persons!

Josh Crossley

Appreciate all the hard work guys, maybe throw it up on Vimeo, they tend to be less assy about crap like that. Or you could replace all the footage of Gremlins 2 that you cut away to and insert nothing but previously seen Neil Breen footage? I dunno. You guys do awesome work, take it easy

Daniel Garcia

Glad I got to watch it this morning when I did. Yikes.

Mr. Derek Magnuson

Sincerely, your $15 pledgers.

Please backup your videos to another service, or post to bitchute and other platforms at least.

I was just trying to re-watch and enjoy the video again when I couldn't find it. For shame!

...also get blocked nerds haha

RO

I understand the need to quickly defend intellectual property when it's in digital form, but these random take-downs are like Sony lawyers detaining people in the street for selling bubble gum flavor ice cream under the accusation that it resembles Spider Man.

RO

I hope the strike is revoked! Rooting for y'all.

A. Lord Wolf

And I had it ready to go at the top of my Watch Later list :(

good luck. i didn’t even get the chance to see it yet

Lunasm0ke

Vimeo!

Elladonna

You hack frauds could host it on here in the meantime.

MAXXimizer

Hope this gets resolved soon! We love you guys ♥️

Lee

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure the copying of copyrighted content for the purpose of criticism falls under fair use https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/what-is-fair-use/

can you post it on patreon using vimeo or some alternative?

Alex Fleischer

I suppose that proves that the Gremlins reboot is coming out next year, and they don't want to remind people of the good one.

Siyu

Well crap I was looking forward to that.

Bike Man

It's entirely appropriate, now, that Mike visualizes the YouTube Copyright bots as those squid-like machines from The Matrix, seeing as that's also a Warner Bros film.

Chloe S

Glad I got it in before studios took it down. Dang. I bet they didn't know what to do about someone praising the film and just freaked out.

Jester of Roanoke

Saw the video was blocked and immediately logged into Patreon to become a Patron! Hope you're able to get it back up :)

Amanda Flagg

Nuke WB

A White 1993 Camry

Glad I was able to catch it but I'm indignant for you guys! I will fight for you!

Ashley

Luckily caught it earlier. Hope all is resolved.

Kendi Lawton

Thank heavens I watched it at work this morning!

Jason Kirk Harder

You joke, but Patreon is RedLetterMedia+!

CSL

This is fucking stupid. Didn’t get to watch. I hope WBs’ collective dick festers with leprosy and falls off in a puddle of putrid pus. Fuck it.

Matt Naylor

I think it's because you sent a destroyed copy of Christmas Vacation 2 to them. They must have been really proud of it.

They're upset you spoiled the plot for the upcoming Gremlins 3.

Stephen Martel

FUCK YOU, YOUTUBE! FUCK YOU, WARNER BROS! I HOPE EVERYONE AT YOUTUBE AND WARNER BROS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS VIOLATION OF THE DMCA GETS AIDS.

Steve

Gremlins 3 confirmed :-)

Thomas

So i guess Gremlins 2 is the kiss of death on Youtube lol

HarryYeti

Nooo!

Blah, anyway we can get a direct link from it unlisted? Bummer edit: Wow...copyright claimed really lame WB

jas722

I hope it's just the youtube robots being retarded again and it'll be solved quickly for you guys...

MrBlackDarkness666

What a great episode, huh? It was easily one of the Top 3 re:View's they've ever done, so full of genuine love for the movie and franchise. Only the Ed Wood re:View is on par with this one.

it was the first of your videos i watched on patreon, so money well spend and perfect timing. Still shitty though

Dik de Jong

Was literally about to pay to rent this movie tonight because I wanted to watch it first before watching this video. Stupid, stupid studio.

Black Market

Damn, I'd only watched the first 10mins earlier, was going to come back to the rest of it over lunch. I'll never understand this attitude of the distribution companies. My only thought when you put this up was "huh, haven't seen that in a while, wonder if it's able to be rent\bought on Amazon". It's only getting people to watch your movie again, spending money to do so. Can be damned sure I won't support them now, so good job Warner Bros!

To those who didn't get to see the video and are curious, Jay commended the cinematography and puppeteering, while Mike brought up Star Trek and Star Wars multiple times.

Daniel Forssten

Jesus, like wtf does it matter?? Sorry about that guys!

Tina Mora

If you put it up here just for Patreons, no one will ever know. (Please? I was halfway through it and accidentally closed the tab)

Hayley Nielsen

Jesus Christ, I just finished it!! Thank the maker!

Matt Roberts

I was so excited to watch this after work. I guess I'll go watch Ishtar instead.

Tom Dastick

That’s crazy. Your review was very positive on the movie.

Erwin Wolff

If I had watched it at work like I wanted to this wouldn’t have happened! 😡

(Fill in random nonsensical comment where the punchline is Rich Evans)

Maybe you could reenact all the scenes you've used from the film with those props you got? :V Anyway, I hope WB gets sorted.

but i have RedLetterMedia+

Dan

Those frauds!

Rob Marland

It went down as I was watching it. How dare you guys give free advertisement to a movie and potentially introduces a new audience to it and its endless merchandising potential. For shame.

Mike and Jay sword fighting with the Gremlin arms and unintentionally defacing priceless movie props was the final straw for WB!

This is why you need to set up your notifications, people. You never know when some idiot corporation will wantonly block content that's clearly covered under fair use.

Bill Lehecka

Aw, nuts - i got about halfway through it, then had to do something else. I even had it open in a tab, paused on Jay's loving face, until about an hour ago when i closed it. That'll teach me not to watch RLM content immediately!

Andy

This is sabotage by some kind of supernatural force that attacks technology... like a Frankenstein or something.

Tim Harrod

It's so counter productive to block a video that would regenerate interest in a 30 year old property

Mike2434

Do they even understand how many people are going to pay to watch the movie just cause you guys are reviewing it? Probably some stupid intern did it.

Nathan Smith

Darn, I was looking forward to this since you guys mentioned it a month or so ago. Out of all the films you guys have covered.... smh. Keep up the good fight, RLM.

Dan Schoening

Wow! Really? I hadn’t seen G2 and was mulling whether to watch it first before the Re:view. Good luck guys. I hope you can work around this.

Mike St Louis

Maan, was just about to watch this.

Chris Vickers

Probably President Clamp's fault

Those damn gremlins!

The studio is trying to remove any evidence that the Gremlins 3 idea came from you & not from their hotshot screenwriter, Nax Nandis.

RG

Noooooo just got out of work and about to turn it on

Shawn Trowbridge

They want to steal your Gremlins 3 idea

Saber

I am actually currently watching it. Guess I shouldn't refresh

Andrei M Burke, P.E.

Thanks guys :)

Declan

I just got it in under the wire.

Drew Christensen

Awww, dammit. I knew I should have watched this immediately when I got the notification email at 6am. Stupid sleeping.

Sean Whitmore

Sounds like a perfect recipe for a Tums festival

ApocalypseSometime

BOOOOOOOOOOOO

Violet Linnington

Good thing I caught it early!
