Infested exists because Josh Olson despises The Big Chill and wanted to write a movie where the characters were all brutally murdered. He's talked about it extensively on his other podcast.
@@raystinger6261 This works on at least 2 levels... 1) Tommy Wiseau was trying to sell himself as an actor in his 20s, when he made "The Room" (where he might have been ~40). Having Stiller play twins who try to seem younger than they are, would be in sync with that. 2) I'd guess the age of the McNamaras at around 35-39 in "Twin Dragon Encounter" (1986)...but they made two more movies, with the last one shown to a small audience in 2003 (but probably shot in the late 90s). That means they may have been around or at least close to 50 in their last production, "Right to Fight". Ben Stiller is 55 next month. With makeup he'll at least be able to convincingly portray them in their late 40s. It should match if the movie would focus on their last two productions. So, it should work either way. I'd like to see that.
I have a theory about it too. The pudgy middle-aged action star wannabes want's to look all macho, but realize that their flabs is none to pleasing to look at. So they go with tank tops, but even that is not enough to disguise their inherent pudginess, so they switch to a black one cause it can make them a bit slimmer.
Pat The Batman Fan sir, you need to get one to vinny vinesauce as he is a big fan of rem lezar and the meme has not died since he watched the rlm episode.

Rich Evans explaining a movie is more entertainment than actually watching the movie. I want a narration from him, describing the endless hellscape of 2020 events. It would be a narrative with a drama comparable to that of Werner Herzog describing the third world war or the impact of two planets.

Oh, and Malibu Breen collection. You have black tank top Breen, denim vest Breen and fake beard Breen. Comes with all the assesories (ram's skull, baby doll heads and 10 broken laptops)
If anyone reads this then please just entertain me for a moment. I have a Donald Pleasance story and I don't get to mention it very often. In Escape from Witch Mountain Donald Pleasance played a character called Mr Geranium who was one of the bad guy's. A few years later he came into a garden center here in the UK (Lincolnshire) and my mum served him and what did he order a bunch of? Geraniums!!! Thank you for your time.
Fittingly, as an early role of his was in The Great Escape, Donald Pleasance was an RAF crewman who was shot down in 1944 and spent six months as a POW in Stalag Luft I. There is an entire cohort of actors who got their start in camp theatrical productions although Pleasance had gotten a bit of a start pre-war.
"There is a lot of slow motion. The episodes were running up to 8 minutes under. The only way to stretch them out was slow motion. We tried to keep the slow motion away from the dialogue as much as possible, but anything without dialogue was considered for slow motion." Dean Learner - Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
Mike with a beard. It softens his face and makes him look more jovial. I hate it. I want sardonic Mike who looks like he just woke up on a park bench after a full night bender back.
Did we just have RedLetterMedia: Endgame? Black Tank Top Theory, Rem Lezar, Star Trek, Canadians, 2002 Post-911, Obscure VFX directors, and of course they pass-through'd Phobe. I can't wait for Phase 4. EDIT: The McNamara Twins are also Canadian Big Hunks. BOOM.
Perhaps the Twin Dragons threatened to do them - if they don`t watch their movie, afterall its an underrated action-gem which got two very good reviews back then... from their parents.
I know there are plenty of other better, funnier, more interesting candidates, but this is without a doubt my favorite episode of Best of the Worst. I re-watch this video probably bi-monthly at this point, even when I'm not interested in watching any other RLM stuff. Something about these particular movies, and the way that they talk about them, just keeps pulling me back to watching this video, and loving it just as much every single time.
Everyone in Canada knows him, there is like only the one! But we just call him Collin, we are already in Canada so it’s a given, eh? Keep your stick on the ice!

I'm from Ontario, Canada and I loved Phobe back in 1995. It played on Cable 10 for a couple of years and was primarily local to the Niagara Region. Nothing EVER played on cable 10 so when I flipped through the channels back then and found this random movie with a fat dude branding a mullet fighting a guy with a clay mask on, I pissed myself laughing. This was such a gem back in the day but ended up disappearing from my life forever after it stopped airing on that channel...or so I thought. A few years back, they remastered it on DVD and even brought it back to our local cinema for one night. I went to that showing and even the Q&A session afterward. Great times. This is really only a gem for the people that lived during that time period and in that region, I don't expect others to appreciate it quite the same way lol. I have the original release of the movie, if you guys want it. I honestly find it better than the remastered version. Oh and by the way, the main actor (the guy with the garbage bag glasses on - Mr. Dapp) is dead. RIP mullet man. If you can get passed all the running and drawn out sequences, there are some hilarious bits. Like when they spontaneously break out into a dance, in a bar, for no reason, 2 seconds after dodging the Phobe and escaping death. The band in the bar are wearing bad wigs and clearly aren't playing the music. The part where he casually says, "This is a BF6000 Pulse Pistol, Rob". As if he were advertising it on the Price is Right as a common everyday product. The part where he reveals his urine colored eyeballs. The part where he magically appears in the woman's bedroom the MOMENT she presses the Honda Civic keyfob button. The fact the alien is wearing a lasertag helmet from 1985. The part where he rides on this steel mill machinery out of the building when it would be faster to just f'n walk. The entire ENDING, especially the pop bottle rocket ship. Come on, this movie is pure filthy gold.
The real horror in this video is Jay's beer bottle being that close to his left arm as he gestures with both hands. I'm honestly stunned he didn't tip it over.
what if instead of Rich Evans his name was Witch Evans and he flew around casting hexes and curses on the rest of the RLM crew and he was doing his weird goblin cackle the entire time
Kudos to Colin for actually going to the exact building the Twin Dragon karate school was located. It's now Limon Lounge, a bar/restaurant that also hosts Latin dance classes.
I went nuts when I saw that, it was so crazy to see- I was like, “IT’S THE GUY FROM TWIN DRAGON ENCOUNTER!!” It was oddly magical to see them in a cameo in something else.
@Lassi Kinnunen not necessarily bad, my guess it's the Canadian equivalent of calling someone an ass, just a dumb beast of burden? I'm not Canadian eh, I use good old fashioned insults that hurt and don't require thought
Mike, you missed a Star Trek reference.

A few years later he came into a garden center here in the UK (Lincolnshire) and my mum served him and what did he order a bunch of? Geraniums!!! Thank you for your time.
Fittingly, as an early role of his was in The Great Escape, Donald Pleasance was an RAF crewman who was shot down in 1944 and spent six months as a POW in Stalag Luft I. There is an entire cohort of actors who got their start in camp theatrical productions although Pleasance had gotten a bit of a start pre-war.
@@dagmarsuarez3033 cheers for the information mate
28:08 I love how Jack’s clapping is a metronome for Rich’s tantrum. It’s catchy. I can’t stop replaying it.
That's amazing
Thank you for this
"There is a lot of slow motion. The episodes were running up to 8 minutes under. The only way to stretch them out was slow motion. We tried to keep the slow motion away from the dialogue as much as possible, but anything without dialogue was considered for slow motion." Dean Learner - Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
A fellow fan i see.
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is fantastic...
What a great show. Danger 5 is in the same vein
Mike's delight at seeing that old guy walk into shot is so pure - there's hope for his frozen heart.
*his alcohol-encrusted heart
*his full of hatred for elderly heart
Mike with a beard. It softens his face and makes him look more jovial. I hate it. I want sardonic Mike who looks like he just woke up on a park bench after a full night bender back.
@Neon Leon awww now you made us miss Futurama again
@@DarrenSemotiuk Hey, Fry! Pizza going out! COME ON!!
"van-ity project" giving “depressing art-partment” a real run for its money
Somethin about Jays genuine shock about the music sting just makes me laugh even harder
Thought you meant *the music the musician Sting makes,* until I was 20 minutes in
Rich's ability to retain and summarise all the non-sensical stuff that happens in terrible movies with ridiculous and complex plots is uncanny.
It’s the lack of booze. It gives him a clairvoyance that the others can only strive to attain
Consistently yells about how terrible the movie is (Ryan's Babe), then votes for it as the best.
Real disappointed that nobody called Jay, "Jaylord" during this episode
That’s his nickname down at the Manhole
😂
This got 800 likes? What's wrong with you people.
He’s a real video freak
@@tonygonk or sex maniac
Finally the hell of 2020 is paused for 80 minutes
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
It was paused for you?
Ok, back to 9/11.
Usually I watch RUclips at 1.5x. This I watched at regular speed, to last longer. In hindsight, .75x would have been even better.
“It doesn’t count when your twins” Rich was on fire in this episode.
Did we just have RedLetterMedia: Endgame? Black Tank Top Theory, Rem Lezar, Star Trek, Canadians, 2002 Post-911, Obscure VFX directors, and of course they pass-through'd Phobe.
I can't wait for Phase 4.
EDIT: The McNamara Twins are also Canadian Big Hunks. BOOM.
There were no cases of the not-gays though
They look like Reno, the hunk of the filthy swamp, or that Robert Ginty lookalike.
No elderly abuse though.
Don't forget the Pink Power Ranger.
@@AB-pg1mi 20:45, my friend.
This has to be fake. They never do Twin Dragon.
“Twice the non-stop action.” So, the action doesn’t end ... twice?
Dragon what?
Perhaps the Twin Dragons threatened to do them - if they don`t watch their movie, afterall its an underrated action-gem which got two very good reviews back then... from their parents.
The "Black Tanktop Theory" holds true.
I know there are plenty of other better, funnier, more interesting candidates, but this is without a doubt my favorite episode of Best of the Worst. I re-watch this video probably bi-monthly at this point, even when I'm not interested in watching any other RLM stuff. Something about these particular movies, and the way that they talk about them, just keeps pulling me back to watching this video, and loving it just as much every single time.
I like that they credit Colin as "Colin from Canada." Lol
I couldn't remember the name of his podcast and just googled "Colin from Canada podcast" and presto!
Everyone in Canada knows him, there is like only the one! But we just call him Collin, we are already in Canada so it’s a given, eh? Keep your stick on the ice!

Sweet, Twin Dragon Encounter, finally time to be horrifically let down.
@@lilithdvs13 Hey you, guy who looks like a Mack Truck, shut your mouth.
Glad to see Jack back, missed his shiny head.
This is definitely a Top 5 BOTW episode imo
Yeah, all 3 movies are great BOTW material.
Rich's dissemination of Rickshaw in this episode was especially impressive.
IT BROKE NEW GROUND
I come back to the Twin Dragon segment so often
I know it’s the opening joke, but I can’t tell you how happy I am to see Jack back!
I KNOW i can’t even make a joke about it i’m just sincerely happy to see him on the show again
Jack does some great video game content for The Escapist. His mock debates and streams with Yahtzee are quite fun.
Same I'm so happy
Yeah it's good to see Nosferatu back in the fray .
there is a second twin dragons movie from 1999 called "Dragon Hunt" and a 3rd called "The Real Twin Dragons" if you need more of the twin goodness.
Sweet lord Jesus. Yes.
Oh god yes please 👯♂️
Someone please PLEASE send them a copy ASAP
Please someone send them Dragon Hunt. It's mental. The first half hour of it alone is worth watching.
I do. Bless you hero.
"American Rickshaw" sounds like the title of a Ken Burns documentary
This show is like a time machine of good nights with friends watching hilariously bad movies and I love it! I come back to old episodes from time to time and they never disappoint!
Mike “is this a rickshaw?” Stoklasa
Mike: What's with all these rickshaws?
If it wasn't for the success of American Rickshaw, we wouldn't have had the other gymnast-starring classic Gymkata. RIP Kurt Thomas.
Gymkata 1985, American Rickshaw 1989, you have it the wrong way around.
@@gerhardvanderberg930 You're right. I'm a hack fraud
Where does America Anthem 1986 fit in?
@@tonytoes0 the trash.
Yay! Jack is back!
WASH AWAY THE ANGER
Been listening to him on his Escapist podcast so he never left for me. But yeah, I missed him in BOTW
I was just watching your videos before this lol
Is jack replacing the wheel on the wheel of the worst? Lol
@@alexsilva28 his podcasts with Yahtzee are excellent, if you are a gamer. he also does movie podcasts with other members of the Escapist channel. if you want more of Jack, you can find him there.
I feel like the MacNamura twins constantly spar with one another in class at great lengths, sometimes even taking up time from teaching the class, grunting and testing each other's grappling skills.
Yes, "sparring".
Followed by one hour of spooning.
@@spillanegottleib1681 Just to relax the muscles.
Tackle and grapple!
Jay, please start saying “this reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld...” whenever you can
As long as Jay takes as long to explain the reference as a typical Mike Star Trek reference!
Honestly Seinfeld is the first thing I think of when i hear ricksha.
I've been saying this in real life to my real friends for years, Jay can get his own gag
That moment when your Saturday evening takes a 90-degree turn because RLM just released a new BotW.
Hell yeah brother!!
Mine turned a full 360!
Or early sunday morning in Europe
right? suddenly it's 4am and i don't regret it
Ah, nothing tickles me quite like Rich growing increasingly frantic as he attempts to explain a completely batshit movie.
Psybev Rich is for real!
This video autoplayed while I was doing something around the house and know I can’t stop watching it, I love this
Welcome to the Red Letter Media fan club buckeroo
@@lanehamilton5228 You are only in the fanclub when you hear a kangaroo rythmically jumping on a dead donkey's chest and smile because the honking wheeze reminds you of Rich Evans.
@@tamlandipper29 holy shit, where's that footage?
They're watching Jack's first ever suggestion? I'm calling it now, he's terminally ill and this is his make-a-wish experience.
Not everybody bald has cancer, you hairist.
...or maybe AIDS?
He looks like someone who has Progeria
@@boomxhaka-saka7711 Like Arthur from Ben & Arthur?
This is a sorely underrated comment.
@@hankhill7827 No, silly, that’s Alopecia. Because A for Arthur and A for Alopecia.
I'm from Ontario, Canada and I loved Phobe back in 1995. It played on Cable 10 for a couple of years and was primarily local to the Niagara Region. Nothing EVER played on cable 10 so when I flipped through the channels back then and found this random movie with a fat dude branding a mullet fighting a guy with a clay mask on, I pissed myself laughing. This was such a gem back in the day but ended up disappearing from my life forever after it stopped airing on that channel...or so I thought. A few years back, they remastered it on DVD and even brought it back to our local cinema for one night. I went to that showing and even the Q&A session afterward. Great times.
This is really only a gem for the people that lived during that time period and in that region, I don't expect others to appreciate it quite the same way lol. I have the original release of the movie, if you guys want it. I honestly find it better than the remastered version. Oh and by the way, the main actor (the guy with the garbage bag glasses on - Mr. Dapp) is dead. RIP mullet man.
If you can get passed all the running and drawn out sequences, there are some hilarious bits. Like when they spontaneously break out into a dance, in a bar, for no reason, 2 seconds after dodging the Phobe and escaping death. The band in the bar are wearing bad wigs and clearly aren't playing the music.
The part where he casually says, "This is a BF6000 Pulse Pistol, Rob". As if he were advertising it on the Price is Right as a common everyday product.
The part where he reveals his urine colored eyeballs.
The part where he magically appears in the woman's bedroom the MOMENT she presses the Honda Civic keyfob button.
The fact the alien is wearing a lasertag helmet from 1985.
The part where he rides on this steel mill machinery out of the building when it would be faster to just f'n walk.
The entire ENDING, especially the pop bottle rocket ship.
Come on, this movie is pure filthy gold.
Involuntarily voyeuristic yacht porn is the single best porn category I've ever heard of.
I fell asleep while listening to this, but then I heard AIDs. Boy did that wake me up.
It's time to get out my folding chable and see what are next.
Maybe it'll be a skost
Maybe it'll be a Chris Helmsworth
And watch some moopies
Hopefully it's spoopy
I see all of you are fluent in Evansish. Very commendable, it's a tricky language to master without sounding like an idiot.
We’re now entering the period that future historians will refer to as “The Bearded Mike Era”
You mean BOTW is going to be even better like when Riker grew his beard on TNG?
@@ryans3420 Exactly, yes.
@@LanceVanceDance84 It's just like the Heisei Godzilla/Gamera period.
"It's the quintessential dual vanity project"
OMG. I cannot believe that he would sink to that level!
The Colin ending is seriously the highlight of this overall great episode xD
Mike is laughing at Rich's jokes, supporting his theories... Any year but 2020 that'd be unthinkable
Mike looks so genuinely happy to be around his friends.
The real horror in this video is Jay's beer bottle being that close to his left arm as he gestures with both hands. I'm honestly stunned he didn't tip it over.
Well, the man is a professional.
@@ZoidFile Not as professional a drinker as Mike, but Jay still knows how to protect his alchohol.
I was fine til I noticed this
Mike saying "Look at that Grampa!" is probably the most excited I've heard him all year.
He is perpetually delighted by the elderly, and it is equal parts confusing and endearing.
Dang, everyone's on fire this BOTW! + Jack's back and Collin's cameo was good.
oh, and Rem Lezar, o course.
I'm a little disappointed that you wore shirts while sawing that movie in half.
I like to imagine Mike is hairy like a Wolfman
They need black tank tops ...
I didn't finish the video yet, but when they said that have that saw I knew it's coming
That would have made that scene even more gay
Were you hiding in the bathroom with a camera?
what if instead of Rich Evans his name was Witch Evans and he flew around casting hexes and curses on the rest of the RLM crew and he was doing his weird goblin cackle the entire time
Dropping VHS tapes on their heads~
There's always Halloween.
While screaming “AIDS”
Is this an Oneyplays hypothetical?
t B depends. Is he a clone of Rich Evans, or a perfect copy?
Kudos to Colin for actually going to the exact building the Twin Dragon karate school was located. It's now Limon Lounge, a bar/restaurant that also hosts Latin dance classes.
In the "who is a better boxer" episode of Kenny vs Spenny, Spenny goes to the twin dragon gym and gets trained by Michael McNamara 😂
I went nuts when I saw that, it was so crazy to see- I was like, “IT’S THE GUY FROM TWIN DRAGON ENCOUNTER!!” It was oddly magical to see them in a cameo in something else.
Holy shit I never made this connection
OH my GOD how did I never notice!
Jay hasn't had this much fun editing since the Tums Festival.
As a Canadian with a curmudgeonly father, i can confirm that Mack truck is indeed a Canadian insult
Ill have to try that sometime. Im not worried thou.
@mc love me It's a make of semi trucks. Usually has MACK across the grille and a bulldog hood ornament.
But why is it an insult? What is it meant to imply?
@Lassi Kinnunen not necessarily bad, my guess it's the Canadian equivalent of calling someone an ass, just a dumb beast of burden? I'm not Canadian eh, I use good old fashioned insults that hurt and don't require thought
As a small man who works out just like the brothers myself, I'd be very happy to be called a "mack truck"
"Apologize for calling me a mack truck!" said the guy they were probably not talking to.
That Mack Truck scene almost eclipses MONEY PLANE as an iconic wtf random insert they should really use periodicially going forward
Mike, you missed a Star Trek reference. The priest in Infested is definitely Dr. Apgar from TNG episode "A Matter of Perspective" who tries to murder Riker using his experimental energy ray which ends up backfiring and destroying the space lab which triggers a murder investigation in which Riker is also accused of attempted rape.
That's Mark Margolis, most known as Hector Salamanca from the Breaking Bad universe.
