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.
"Michael and Martin McNamara..." Bruh, MICK AND MARTY! I found a copy of this amazing film at a Family Video and watched it with a buddy. We loved it so much that we called the number on the side of the vans they drive in the film (mind you this was back in 2009-ish) and at the time it was still the actual number for the dojo that these dudes own in Canada. Marty picked up and we shot the shit with him for a few minutes, told him we were watching this movie. Guarantee you that made that guy's day as well as mine.
Best one in ages. Has it all: vanity project, AIDS, 9/11, Rich losing his mind trying to explain a movie's plot, Rem Lezar out of nowhere, the list goes on.
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.

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.
I could just imagine at the end of Empire, after Luke and Vader sense each other again, and it just cuts to black and says: “That was the last the rebellion saw of Vader for the rest of the year. Our heroes returned to the rebel base with a slightly shaken but un-armed Luke.”

For anyone that's curious, Josh Olson talks about Infested on his other podcast (The West Wing Thing). He made the movie entirely because he HATED The Big Chill. His sole motivation for making the movie was to shit on The Big Chill. So Jay is 100% right; this movie WAS a weird passion project. And now Olson's got an Oscar nom under his belt for writing (A History of Violence, 2006) Who'd have guessed???
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.

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.

He could do those alternate audio tracks for blind people.
@@KasumiKenshirou it would make them become more disable or ascend them to a higher level of being
Who ever made the the Rem Lezar figure needs to make a Cameron Mitchell doll with a pull cord with him saying "Close the f***ing door!!!" Also, a Suburban Sasquatch plush doll.
Glenn Neumeister And also “Every day ends with a Tums festival!”
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)
Wouldn't mind seeing a Leo Fong action figure, Low Blow.
@@jaxvoorhees5669 would have to include a broken down car.
@@red-stapler574 Don't forget the tuna cans!
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
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
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.
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
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!
“I want you to park that big Mack truck right in this little garage”
“Hey you, ‘pologize for callin’ me a Mack truck.”
I just laughed very loudly
"van-ity project" giving “depressing art-partment” a real run for its money
Sweet, Twin Dragon Encounter, finally time to be horrifically let down.
@@lilithdvs13 Hey you, guy who looks like a Mack Truck, shut your mouth.
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!
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 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 .
“It doesn’t count when your twins” Rich was on fire in this episode.
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"
Infested has Mark Margolis who played Hector Salamanca in Breaking Bad.
And Scarface. Or if you’re Jay, some Cronenberg films.
He was also the "Yes, Satan?" landlord in Ace Ventura.
and he was in American Horror Story briefly
Was checking to make sure that someone had posted this comment.
He's in an episode of TNG too. A matter of perspective I think
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 fell asleep while listening to this, but then I heard AIDs. Boy did that wake me up.
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 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.
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
Dang, everyone's on fire this BOTW! + Jack's back and Collin's cameo was good.
oh, and Rem Lezar, o course.
"It's the quintessential dual vanity project"
OMG. I cannot believe that he would sink to that level!
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.
I go to sleep watching a random BOTW video every night. Rich Evan's laughter is my lullaby.
Andrew Are we the same Andrew? I fall asleep to RLM too!
Me three!
Me too!
Rich evens laughter is like a dream catcher only the sweetest dreams tonight
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
"We've had Twin Dragon for years"
Rich Evans: 'For deckAiiiiiiiddddds....'
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
Glad to see Jack back, missed his shiny head.
Just experienced a 7.1 magnitude earthquake while watching this. Hearing richs banshee laugh made it even more surreal
I hope you are safe and doing well! That sounds pretty frightening. The earthquake part, that is.
@@JohnSmith-df7uo oh im fine. it threw my toaster oven off the shelf, but nothing broke. no tsunami threat either (Im in japan, so can never be too careful about that). now I just cant watch this episode again for a while, because the image of the twin dragons riding the atv is now forever linked with the biggest earthquake I've ever experienced
Not many survive a 7.1 earthquake. Fewer still survive a direct Rich Evans Banshee Assault
@@EpiphanyDraws That's really good to hear! Where I live we don't get earthquakes. I've only seen them on the news from around the world and a lot of the time it's not pretty. That's really cool that in your country it seems you've basically adapted to them!
Also, I'm sorry that that particular image is etched in your mind in association with the quake.
Mike “is this a rickshaw?” Stoklasa
Mike: What's with all these rickshaws?
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 Colin ending is seriously the highlight of this overall great episode xD
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.

"I thought it was one of those boats with the fan on the back."
FUN FACT: Those are called fan-boats.
actually I think it’s called a Rickshaw
Disappointing name
How the hell are we supposed to remember that?
In the bayou I've only hear them called airboats
Sounds like RLMs Biggest Fan
Ah, nothing tickles me quite like Rich growing increasingly frantic as he attempts to explain a completely batshit movie.
Psybev Rich is for real!
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!
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.

Is this an Oneyplays hypothetical?
t B depends. Is he a clone of Rich Evans, or a perfect copy?
Involuntarily voyeuristic yacht porn is the single best porn category I've ever heard of.
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.
The first two films should be remade with Ben Stiller in the lead roles, playing both Macnamara brothers. Tropic thunder like.
Jay : "Oh, I forgot to put in that it's starring Ben Stiller."
(pause while Computer calculates)
Jay : "....Yeah, it's going to be worse than AIDS."
Colin is 48 next month. He's doing something right.
Syphoning Mike and Rich's youth both of whom are shockingly in their 30s
You know, if Mike grew a beard and was just a little skinnier he'll look like Jon Hamm

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.
"American Rickshaw" sounds like the title of a Ken Burns documentary
