More Picard?
We're working on another discussion of the new season of Picard, covering episodes 2 and 3. That will hopefully be out before episode 4 of Picard is released.
Also while editing this upcoming Half in the Bag, I worked in a random cutaway reference to the Winnebago Man. It might be one of the more obscure references we've done, I don't know, but if you haven't seen the classic Winnebago Man outtakes, enjoy!

Our Bruce Willis addendum video was shot on the VCR shop set and we decided to decorate it with some actual good Bruce Willis movies. Also, I don't think we've ever mentioned this but when upgrading lights and gear last year, we mounted our rim lights to the top of the set. You can see the rig in the third picture. For one thing, those are lights that never need to be moved for any other purpose so having them permanently mounted just makes things a lot easier but also, doing so cleared out a...

Hey everyone! We just shot a new Half in the Bag about two movies and a mini-series. We wanted to do an addendum to our Bruce Willis video since there's some more information out there now to discuss. And amazingly, in the month since our Bruce Willis episode came out, TWO MORE Willis movies have been released so we figured we'd subject ourselves to those and be all caught up. We also discuss the Hulu mini-series Pam & Tommy, which is not the kind of thing we thought we would ever dedicat...

Currently Editing...
We're currently editing the next Best of the Worst, which is a wheel episode featuring some pretty amazing videos. And with the exception of Spotlight episodes, this one will end up being the first episode in probably two years that will be under an hour in length! It's a Christmas miracle!

Two Shoots!
Hey everyone. We shot two videos this weekend. The first was a not-very special re:View and then we shoot a new Wheel of the Worst!

About to discuss *something today! any guesses on what it could be? Also, our newly framed poster of the latest Len film "Pact of Vengeance" signed by the late, great Leo Fong! What a treasure!

Smile
We found this on an old hard drive. It was going to be included in our original Jurassic World review but was never used on YouTube because the song got flagged. Enjoy!

Editing is Awesome
Here's a previously lost video from back in ...2015? I think. Just a fun little editing exercise using one of the many cringey Academy Awards musical numbers. This is one of those videos that didn't survive the transition of our back-catalogue of videos from Blip to Youtube.

Hey everyone. We're currently editing the next Best of the Worst as well as a new "Mike and Jay Talk About" video for the new-ish Sean Baker movie Red Rocket. The BOTW episode is basically a normal 3 movie episode, but we did add a fun little gimmick to the beginning to pick the movies. And the Red Rocket video was intended to just be a quick recommendation, but we ending up talking a little more than we normally do for a "Talk About" video.
Also, we've recently been going through...

February 2022 Updates
Hey everyone! Jay and Rich just shot a re:View for the 1987 vampire western Near Dark. We would say go watch the movie before the episode comes out, but it's not exactly an easy movie to track down these days unfortunately. That video will be coming soon and then we're also going to be shooting a new Best of the Worst very soon as well! Aside from that, we have some vague ideas for another Trivia Gameshow video so we'll see if that materializes into anything!

Most times, we rehearse before we roll. But sometimes, we just jump in front of the camera and work out the scene while we're rolling. Enjoy a little BTS of the process!

Upcoming Videos
Hey everyone. We decided to hold off on a Best of the Worst for a little bit, but we did recently shoot a re:View for Total Recall. That's being edited now and should be coming soon. We're also planning a Half in the Bag soon that will be a little different than normal. We've talked enough about Bruce Willis' recent "movies" but have never actually seen any of them, so we're going to dive into a few of those 0% wonders and see what it's all about.

Mike's Smiling Friends Cameo
Some of you may have seen that Mike voiced a character on the pilot episode of an animated show called Smiling Friends last year. But just recently, he popped up again in live action for a split second in one of the first season episodes. We just put together a quick backdrop in front of the Best of the Worst set to shoot that and here's a few behind the scenes photos. The sequence takes place in hell so we put a red backlight on Mike but I guess they decided to just make the shot black and w...

Iron(ing) Man!
From the archives, it's a classic short film starring Rich Evans. I have no idea why this was made or what the point was.

Hey everyone! We've been spending the first week of January doing a lot of much needed behind the scenes housekeeping and just general recharging. But pretty soon we'll be doing our yearly catch-up/re-cap episode of Half in the Bag. A lot of movies but also a lot of TV stuff this time. We're planning to do a back-to-basics normal three movie Best of the Worst later this month as well, and we've also been working here and there on a couple other long-term projects we'll hopefully have more inf...
