(Jay is too method at this shit. He's too good at this.)
This. Jay didn't break out of character once on camera. If you were to put him into an actual podcast like this, he would not look out of place at all.

Watching the video I Couldn't help but remember gaf had a 30 pages thread about the new title. To be fair not all posts were about the title, I assume.
We need to test this theory. Put Jay on the Collider cast and one of the jackasses from that show on Nerd Crew and see what happens.

Half that thread was people bitching about other people posting RLM memes.
He definitely broke during the unboxing, and I think when Mike hit his head on the mic while nodding.
Sorry to interrupt but I absolutely loved this video. I mean I've not sat down to actually watch this due to my crippling diabetes but as a creator of exclusive content on Neogaf if this replaced half in the bag then that would be VERY COOL.

"Nothing says I love you like a black guy holding a gun"
hmm
Why are they feeding into this bullshit about reviews being paid for by studios, though.
I mean, the satire (such as it is) isn't bad, and the phrase "grundle" is never not funny, but they know their audience is pretty fucking gullible, and a bunch of em probably buy this bullshit narrative that studios are out here purchasing film critics.
Why give that weight when it's pretty much weightless?
I always saw it as a minor jab at other podcasters who have to mentioned they went to the premiere of whatever movie

Are they upset they weren't invited or something? I still don't get it.

Some critics go to premieres pretty frequently. Most of em get their own special screenings in empty theaters, too.
it plays as "we won't be bought like these other stupid shows who willingly take a couple fingers to the grundle for free merchandise," which just more or less feeds into the silly notion that studios are out here buying film critics.
They're not.
(also it's gonna be less than a couple weeks before that clapping gif is used unironically.)
Heh, when you see John Campea going to the Star Wars premiere, taking pictures with Bob Eiger and Kevin Feige, going back into his studio that same night still giddy with excitement to do their review, you can see how that satire could apply. They're not bought obviously, but they're clearly in this LA bubble.
I remember Collider (AMC at the time) during the Age of Ultron days, the hype was so high it was all they talked about for months. Campea was doing Q&A with the whole cast and Feige days before the premiere, and when they came back they all praised the film, giving it 9/10 and completely unable to be even a little critical. It took a few weeks for them to admit that maybe this wasn't the great movie they were saying it was. The film didn't make any of their top 10 come december.
What do entertainment podcast groups have to do with film critics?
me spraying syllables all over the place like I know what I'm talking about instead of just being a bald hobbit in Portland with too much free time.

I mean, in the case of Star Wars and stuff the whole thing does reek of, to compare to the video game press, the whole "review event" thing where publishers would fly people out to be part of a big swanky launch thing and review the game. Which was and is incredibly skeevy
Yeah its basically this. Same with the VG space again, publishers/studios realizing if they can treat enthusiastic fans well they can ensure boatloads of gushingly enthusiastic coverageYeah, it can be skeevy, but I guess it depends on whether the person invited decides to indulge in all that extra-curricular bullshit. Which I've seen a few times when I was at the few junkets I've attended.
But junkets are also nowhere near a new thing, either. They've been going on since probably before both of us were born. The overall sanctity of film criticism has managed to stay relatively intact despite the bullshit. I don't know if the junkets for games goes much differently, but it's not like the reputation of games critics is all that well regarded, either, for a multitude of reasons, I guess.
But as was pointed out: The Collider Morning Zoo probably can't say that. And it didn't occur to me as I was watching (it shoulda) that the jab wasn't so much at the ridiculous notion that studios are out here purchasing film critics (wander into a DECU thread here if you wanna see that narrative get fed) but more at the notion Campea/Harloff/Ellis are corrupted by having gotten their invites and acted the fan/tourist instead of the critic while they were there.

Mhmm. At first I thought it was just a slightly worse version of the first video, and then the real show started.This is the greatest satire ever created since The Onion and the current state of American Poli-- oh wait.
Haha, I'm sure Mike and Jay prepared the backpack and Rich is opening this blind. OMG, the GhostBusters toy.
Jay's outfit is amazing.
