They're heelin it up and I think a lot of us love it.
I believe its a dig at lootcrate who seems from the podcasts I listen to are like predatory about getting every "Nerd" show. also its a bit about the commercialization of nerd or geek culture
Geek crate, Nerd box, I've never gotten a lootcrate but I assume its big appeal is like with trading cards, where you don't know what your going to get and if it will even be good or worth it.
Why are they so defensive with their Rogue One review? This is like the second they put out mocking all the positive reviews and criticisms regarding their own review.
It's just weird.
If you made a parody of RLM like this, would it just be drunk Mike making fun of other corporate reviewers instead of discussing the movie & Rich Evans saying absolutely nothing just to make self-deprecative jokes once every 10 minutes?
I clapped when I saw Rich Evans!
Is there something wrong with this statement?Eeeeeeeeeeccccks-wings!
Loved the confirmation that you tubers and pod casters are full of paid shills.
Remember people, LUCASFILM not disnee!!

Wonder what will happen when episode 8 is out.
If it ticks two or more boxes from the Plinkett Rogue One review (those boxes being Story, Characters, and Emotion), most people will like/love it while a vocal minority will despise it. Like with TFA.
Then a subpar stand-alone will come out and be loved by those same people. Cuz it's dark. And asplosions. And vistas.
Are you 12 years old or am I just not understanding your point? What's the matter with calling films "film"? Serious question.
Eeeeeeeeeeccccks-wings!
HNNNGH
That Loot Crate takedown was so cathartic.
This video taught me that "Geek Box" is actually a real thing that exists.
It seems so depressingly hollow.
That was hilarious. I see nothing wrong with hitting back at their critics if it gives the rest of us a good laugh.
There's shockingly a shitload of these box services.
And they're all crap
Did no one else notice how they put an emphasis on the word "film" every time they said it and only said the word "movie" like, two or three times?
"Film" implies a level of sophisticated art and scholarship that these movies don't deserve. You're not Fellini, and you're not Godard. Get over it.
I strongly disagree with the idea that Rogue One doesn't tick any of those boxes, though.
It wouldn't be funny. They're already self deprecating to the Nth degree and poke fun of themselves constantly.If you made a parody of RLM like this, would it just be drunk Mike making fun of other corporate reviewers instead of discussing the movie & Rich Evans saying absolutely nothing just to make self-deprecative jokes once every 10 minutes?
Going back to your first post about that, the word film is just a lot more common than movie outside of the US. It has nothing to do with "internet nerd-dom" nor does it have any implication of sophistication. It's just a word people use.
And Godard is overrated anyway, hasn't made a decent film in decades.
I disagree a bit with the "not deserving" claim.Did no one else notice how they put an emphasis on the word "film" every time they said it and only said the word "movie" like, two or three times?

You shut your mouth, their Boyhood stuff was great.Or their Boyhood coverage.
They seem to enjoy egging on fanbases.
Maybe there's a side I'm missing but what's wrong with having a sponsor as a YouTube channel?
Overall though, I've really enjoyed all of these Rogue One videos.
calling movies "film" is definitely the most annoying thing that's happened in internet nerd-dom
I wanted to quote this because of all the other posters giving you shit, because I agree with you.
What RLM was critiquing by saying "film" over and over was the tendency for the geek fandom to use that word to give more importance, maturity, and credibility as opposed to calling them "movies". it's like when people say comic books are "graphic novels" or "animation" or "anime" aren't cartoons.
yeah I agree this rubs me the wrong way too
not really comics vs. graphic novels because I see those as distinct things that are definable. a comic book run doesn't suddenly become a graphic novel when it's collected so I feel that distinction is pretty objective.

There was already the RLM porn parody, so they already went there. lolIt wouldn't be funny. They're already self deprecating to the Nth degree and poke fun of themselves constantly.
Anyone trying to parody Rich would more likely than not come off as mean-spirited.

Someone asked 4chan to write a porn, and this was the result.
Apparently they even recreated the VCR repair shop set. lol

Collider/Schmoes discussed last night on their show about how they loved The Nerd Crew video.

The best part is there's a Loot Crate mention before the discussion.
