Last Jedi update

Hey all! If you happened to see our Twitter post the other day about Fandango screwing us out of our opening night tickets for The Last Jedi, that wasn't a joke. It threw our entire plans for a loop and there were a ton of already sold out shows for the weekend but we have now seen The Last Jedi and shot our review and it's being edited. We'll get it out as soon as we can but the movie was a lot of process.

Comments

I want to hear them talk about John Cena.

Michael Warford

Very cool. Very cool.

Dan T.

I say take your time and get it right! I'm waiting until next week to see it anyway because my nephews aren't free until after Christmas, and I'd like to see it with them, so I'm in no rush. I don't even mind seeing spoilers before I go in: even if I know what happens, I can still enjoy the execution (or enjoy how bad it is).

jaybird3rd

I mean me personally I will love this review.

Dan T.

Personally, I loved this review

Raspo

You guys better be drinking Zevias for this Ferdinand review or I am going to be really mad.

IgnoirBurgerman

Our expectations for a HitB today are being subverted, rian johnson directed this episode!

Jonathan Harvey

I was wondering if it was a deliberate ploy. I felt like you might be trolling people a la Transformers, delaying until after everyone has seen it/reviewed it already so you're not drowned in the ocean of SEO vids on Friday, or maybe even to save your review until multiple viewings so you can have a more informed opinion than the 4AM delirium of the TFA review. Now I'm wondering if Disney had an agreement with Fandango to deliberately sabotage you.

Cameron Combe

I'm picturing Jay sitting on a couch watching an obscure 80s horror film, when suddenly Mike passes by the room and asks him if he's uploaded the new HitB yet. Jay then nonchalantly replies, "eh, it can wait" before munching on some popcorn.

Arthur Smith

Commenting because I just can’t wait

Rowan Strang

Awww.... I was hoping for an in-depth Ferdinand review.

OldHandsaw

Guess we have to assume they drank poisoned kool aid after seeing it

James Bailey

God damn. At this point you have to make it a reView episode.

LoneHam

I literally will not watch the Last Jedi until your review comes out, and your review will determine my choice to see it or not. I am patient. Do your THANG

Gecko Decko

Part of me wants them to take all the time they need to best pursue their creative vision for this review...but the other part of me can't function as a person without knowing how these hack frauds feel about the movie!!!

Michael Middleton

Guys, Disney called, they want the video up in an hour...

Toby Griffiths

I hope they enjoyed it. Me and my best friend really enjoyed it last night.

David Banes

WHERE THE HELL IS IT? I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO FEEL

What was your least favorite part of Last Jedi and why was it the Ready Player One Trailer?

Kevin King

Hopefully it wasn't 1 in the morning this time.

Toby Griffiths

Was it Majestic in Brookfield? They sold tickets for Thursday 12/14 to a theater layout that was being remodeled. Had to re-assign seats for Fandango ticket holders at the door. Total mess

Collin Brown

I hope Internet Superstar Rich Evans is in it, I always enjoy it when he joins for the superheroes and Star Wars

Daniel Staniforth

Trying to keep the kids on Facebook from posting spoilers till your review comes out is getting out of hand. Pleeease, hurry.

Rich Auntie Skeleton

Angry titty action Luke is the best Luke.

Michael Warford

You should reenact the titty milking scene with Rich.

DO IT!!!

Renato Paredes Alves

Yes! Can't wait for the review

Eric Popov

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO THINK!

Michael Warford

There, at the end of the world, beneath the bloody hooves of those horsemen ushering in the eternal doom, Disney will still be making utterly generic and inoffensive Star Wars movies.

GroovyPixel

the anticipation is killing me

atticus

Man, I think I'm more anticipate for this HiTB episode than I was for the actual movie! I did enjoy TLJ, but it has many pacing and tone problems and Rose is a useless character. Can't wait to see the guys reactions to it!

George Ray

The more I think about it the more confused I am by it. But there's so much happening in the film that I'm not sure anyone thought it through. It has a Suicide Squad-esque editing problem. I did have fun, though. So I can't totally bash it.

Kathleen

Don't blame JJ, he set it up for a good second chapter. Blame Rian Johnson, the writer/director for episode 8 that threw the force awakens out the window

Anthony Browning

I need someone to tell me if it's okay to laugh at humor for 6 year olds while people are getting cut in half and murdered by the hundreds

James Bailey

This movie has been surprisingly controversial. I am looking forward to your review!

William Adderholdt

You guys should consider doing a re:View of the 1993 ILM classic Fire In The Sky!!!

Quick thoughts: The Last Jedi was a well done Star Wars movie with many big ideas and some very interesting character arcs. The Last Jedi not a good Force Awakens Sequel. When this trilogy is complete The Last Jedi, though interesting, swings way to much out of the park.

Dans Name

I really hope this is up soon, but not only that, that you get a Plinkett video done for Ep8. It needs it. It needs its large intestine turning into an interstate. The more we've been pondering it and picking it apart, the more it truly kills the saga.

Kassidy M Kearey

Take your time. We'll manage to survive. Or not, for some people.

Based on the movie it would be more likely to think "Rian Johnson watched the plinkett reviews and listened to Rich Evans" than someone DIDN'T want them to see the movie

Jonathan Harvey

Liked the movie for what it was, the best of the five new movies but still feels kind of tacked on much rather than "needed to happen". At least we got something that felt like a new part of the story. I am sort of confused why there needs to be a trilogy now. It seems more or less finished. I mean, seriously, the main villain general got his balls cut of in the first scene of this movie, the main super sith god lord is dead now and replaced by an far less threatening seeming kylo... the next movie will just be disposing the garbage via the good guys than (and of cause us finding out about Reys real parents and how she is related to Ben wich than angry interview reviewers will claim only has happened because they bitched about this now instead of kylo, the fucking bad guy, lying to Rey...)

Michael Matzat

I wonder if Fandango "losing" your opening night tickets was a deliberate attempt by somebody at Disney/Lucasfilm to forestall a potentially negative review. But regardless, I'm glad you finally got to see it and am looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it!

jaybird3rd

I think the movie had some nice moments but I really really hate the movie. It has proven above all else that JJ Abraham had no fucking clue what he was doing. Who's reys parents? Who's SNOKE? Who cares!! 'Let the past die' kids cause we need to make 30 more movies like this over the next billion decades. Anyone can be a Jedi now, even you little janitor child from casino night zone! M.i.c.k.e.y. Em o u ess ee everyone's a winner!!!

Dandy Jagi

I'm waiting to see it when the theaters aren't so crowded, probably in a week or 2. Not worried about avoiding spoilers either /shrugs (SW stopped being an opening night thing for me about 5 disappointments ago)

Ericson Wilkinson

Can't wait for the review, guys. It wasn't a perfect film but I still thought it was awesome. Looking forward to seeing what you think about it (so I can modify my opinion accordingly).

Brian

Everyone including myself are anxious to hear your take but don't rush it!

Filmmaker IQ

Forget that, when's the Ferdinand review?

Thanks for the update! Take your time, don't rush it out, I am eager to watch your review though :)

Sebastian Whincop

I can't wait to see this, so I can watch the Half in the Bag too. I'm hearing a lot of good things about it, but I'm a sucker for these movies so I probably will like it either way.

Philip Gumpl

Few nitpicks aside, I thought it was great. The character development is really what shines in this one. The constant twists and turns were refreshing for a blockbuster. I can't remember the last time I didn't know exactly how a movie would end which is a great feeling. It meanders along for a bit which is common in sequels focused on getting us to know the characters better, but it all pays off majorly by the end.

Kevin Baird

More excited about this than the actual movie.

Toby Griffiths

It was completely different than I expected and I disliked it. THEN I watched it again without those expectations, and it was great, definitely a lot to process. Not a perfect film, but no ones childhood should be destroyed because of it, and fans should be open to the story and characters diverging from the status quo. Now for the sake of Rich, please get this review out before the PreRec stream tonight kthx

Jonathan Harvey

There were about eight people in the cinema when I saw it Friday, granted that was at 10.30 in the morning. For the record I enjoyed it, and thought it was much better than Force Awakens which I did not like.

JK

can't wait. people will finally stop defending the movie on the subreddit after the review is out

Daniel Diesel

Thanks guys! Keep up the awesome work

Chris

I’d never heard of fandango before but i now hate them

atticus

Someone at Disney probably has pull with Fandango, deathly afraid of how influential a review can be by a couple of guys from Milwaukee who make their friend fall down a lot.

Ken

That's some luck! Thanks for the update, can't wait for the review.

sooo..no Ferdinand.unsubscribed.

Brajan Martinović

Well I'm never using Fandango again.

John and Marcella

If be careful calling a theory a spoiler remember how many people called their theory that Rey was a Kenobi a spoiler.

John and Marcella

Re-watching Episode 100 right now in anticipation for what's about to come.

DaiBenduMonk

It really was a lot to process

Lost Beat 6

Guuuud...guuuuuuuuuuuuuuud.

Copp Creature Shop

Uh oh, watch out Jack and Rich, Mike and Jay might release it during the Pre Rec stream!

Kevin Allard

Ferdinand is adorable, fwiw.

Sam Dodge

Cant wait to see it. Will this one get a Plinkett review too?

The Rabbit Hole

The effects when the cruiser goes light speed into the 1st order fleet looked rad. I felt like the movie didn't add up to much in the end though.

John Haythorn

No worries, it'll be worth the wait. Thanks, you hack frauds!

Rob Marland

Thank god.

Mike Bermingham

Nobody cares about The Last Jedi! I want to know who Ferdinand's parents are! And is he REALLY the Last Bull?? So many questions! Help us, RLM!

Sondre

“I can’t wait for RLM to tell me what my opinion of this film should be.” Most of the Internet, probably.

Bill Lehecka

It's like....which one of the seventeen movies called The Last Jedi do you review in just one video. Good on you, RLM. Take all the time you need. I'll take 5 minutes of your honest opinions over some dork who got a red carpet picture next to a robot so he could post his 90 minute bs knockoff the same day 400 other mooks do. Any day. If you're still in the script-writing phase, watch for run-on sentences. God bless.

Bry

I really liked. They kinda cracked open the universe and now they can do anything they want, and I loved how they subverted expectations. Overall I loved how the good guys didn't win because of luck but rather because of wits and teamwork.

Erfan Behzadnia

(Slight spoilers) Predictions: Mike is going to hate it because he's burned out on blockbusters, Jay might like it for breaking some expectations people were predicting and Rich is going be meh on it. Though they will all agree the Casino terrible and was too much like prequels and bring up Dexter Jettster 50's diner. Also Rich fuck a porg again.

Avatar Juan

Oh God, I can't wait to see what they thought about this pile of crap

Tushar Arvind

The movie itself is so baffling, hated leia ziplining through space, hated the casino scenes, hated the forced child at the end taking over, but there were some awesome scenes in the throne room with Snoke

Brace110

Yes! I can only rewatch the Nerd Crew so many times!

Tychoxi

I loved it, I’m very curious what you guys thought of it

James Morr

Did you guys end up seeing Ferdinand?

Bastion-Blue-Succubus87

It was garbage.
