I second this. I am loving each and every video that's coming out but DAMN are they being made FAST and that could lead to some serious burnout If we have to wait longer for videos to drop, i think we'll be willing to do so, especially if it means preserving both the quality of the videos AND Pancake's mental health--
Fellow Valerian opening sequence enjoyer. That scene honestly made me cry the first time I saw it I thought it was so good. Most first-contact stories are tinged with fear, if not outright violence, so one where all the aliens are happy to meet humanity and work together with us felt unique and honestly heartwarming. Not to mention the sequence before the aliens even show up where the various human nations of the world join up with the station after developing their own successful space programs. It’s a simple scene on paper, but it implies such a wonderfully optimistic view of the future that I can’t help but adore it. Shame it kind of makes the rest of the movie feel worse by comparison. Valerian isn’t unwatchable by any means, but that early peak made me a much harsher judge than I think I would have been otherwise. (Edit: spelling)
I think a lot of movies that people call "bad" are simply "mediocre." where in reality, they are still fun to watch, but when compared to a lot of other films, falls short. I do think as long as a film is relatively entertaining to watch, then it's not "bad". (Unless it's one of those so bad that it's good situations.)
Not really. There genuinely are just terrible movies. I do enjoy these videos as there can be some good aspects of bad movies, but the bad outweighs the good in every possible way.
Dude if you said Hellboy 2 was a bad movie I'd have to start throwing hands. I agree the first one was meh but I'm eternally mad we didn't get the real third sequel. Can't wait for the new one coming out soon that's actually based on a comic storyline.
I have not found any proven accusations, so it actually took me out of the video. Hollywood is full of creeps, but so is the internet of stupid people playing court, so it's hard to tell who is right here.
I think the Creator also had some other really good Moments, like for example the bomb Robot or some of the Robot familys and the death of his wive, but maybe i also just love John David Washington, Yeah it’s probably that
The Lone Ranger was an atrocious film, but I have to say the bit near the end where the Ranger says the famous Hi-ho Silver line, only for it to hard-cut to Johnny Depp telling him to cut that shit out lives in my head rent free. Great video!
dead man's bones shoutout! the project was initially intended as a stage play, but it really is such a fantastic album. a great listen for spooky season.
In the Last Jedi, when Poe and the crew are about give up hope and accept defeat but then all the ships from all over the galaxy appear at once. Thats a really awesome scene in a mediocre film.
Thinking about this one I would say the train crash in Super 8 is one of those things that sticks out in my mind. I haven't seen it in years but at the time it was one of those moments that went on for like waaaaay too long in reality but watching it is such a great visual and auditory experience that I still remember it to this day despite how mid the rest of the movie is
This is a great shout, if I would've thought of it it probably would have made the cut but for a totally different scene. I've always found the ending where he *SPOILERS* lets go of the locket to be affecting but thats mostly due to Giacchino's score being so good probably
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has to be my guilty pleasure movie. But it’s bc I love movies that collect a bunch of distinct characters as a party. And then honestly all of the fight scenes, the Nautilus, and captain Nemo himself are so visually appealing and entertaining
This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I absolutely love it! I'd love more videos on this topic. I'm a movie optimist; if I had fun watching, then it wasn't a "bad" movie, even when it is very much a bad movie 😂. The example that comes to mind is Morbius, it is an objectively bad film and 90% of it is truly a slog. But damnit if the scenes of Matt Smith *throwing* every classically trained actor molecule of himself into his role, chomping the scenery like a kaiju, Going Through It for this bit role in the MCU...only for us to pan over to Leto's completely expressionless Botoxed face and blank delivery of ostensibly emotional dialogue 😂. It was like Smith was a tidal wave crashing against a concrete levy, I find it so fun.
@@nathantowns2043 I'll defend Bram Stokers Dracula with it's one true flaw being Jonathan played by Keanu Reeves which sucks because I love Keanu Reeves and I love Jonathan
There’s this movie I personally love, but I’ve heard a lot of people call it bad and it didn’t get particularly good ratings; Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. There’s this one scene in the movie where Mr. Magorium (in this kids movie) talks about death. It’s quite an interesting scene and it does a good job of talking about the concept to a young audience. If you search the movie’s title plus shoes you’ll find it.
thats the one where they had to gut the whole film because Heath Ledger died, it's an absolute clusterfuck. Terry Gilliam wildness, replacing the lead with 3 other actors for large sections. However, in keeping with the theme of Pancakes' video, Tom Waits' performance as THE DEVIL iin that movie is fantastic. In fact didn't pancake do a video on depictions of satan? I'm not sure that one made the cut.
The quality and upload speed of these videos is so top tier. This channel's gonna blow up soon, I hope you have a looooong list of ideas and aren't burning through them too fast because I think you have some serious staying power.
gasped when I saw yet another pancake video on the timeline!!!! so excited to watch everything you put out at whatever speed you wanna make em 🙂↕️🙂↕️
My favorite moment from a bad movie is from Surf's Up (2007) where Chicken Joe is looking for Cody around the island. Like the comedic timing is so on point I lose my shit every time
OH also I would like to beg for more fargo material I was so excited to see you mention it in your depictions of the devil video and would love to hear you talk more about it if it’s something you’d be interested in making!
What is it with Alan Moore ripoff movies that theyre kinda great despite completely missing the point of the work? Watchmen, V for Vendetta, League. Theyre all super fun movies

Lone Ranger deserves a lot more credit than it is given. First off the Johnny Depp issue honestly isn’t that big of a deal, especially since he was easily the best character in the movie. Secondly, I don’t think it’s too long or boring. I seriously don’t get why people hate on movies because they’re “too long”. It isn’t the movies fault, it’s your for not being able to sit down for 2 and a half hours. Lastly, I do very much enjoy the action sequences. Some of the best by Verbanski imo, and it just looks beautiful.
The movie sucks cause the Lone Ranger is lame person the whole movie, the movie is just a western Pirates of the Carribean not a Lone Ranger movie, and Johnny Depp does red face lol
Surprised you didn’t mention the scene in the Robocop reboot where Alex Murphy sees his destroyed body for the first time. The scene was pretty emotional and disturbing. Movie is extremely ass but that scene was pretty well done.
Leonard Part 6 is a terrible movie but the scene where a group of frogs kill a guy by hopping his car into a river had my friends and I cracking up. Another terrible movie with great moment is Malibu’s Most Wanted when Terry Crews steals the show with a couple lines of dialogue. Genuinely the only funny part in what is supposed to be a comedy.
I know it sounds weird but have you considered playing FMV games like Late Shift? I think you would have blast discussing this niche cinematic gaming genre.
Not gonna lie the ghost ship scene is so unrealistic for me that it actually ruins the whole scene for me lmao The clothes would all get caught on the cable and it would kill them sure, but it would squish them all together not slice through them lol
Pancake my love, could you put chapter breaks in your timeline for your vids? it make it easier to screen for spoilers and is generally just good practiice. Also, remember to breathe while narrating my guy
Thanks! I did put them but it seems like they werent popping up, I reformated it & they're showing now for lemme know if it's still not working on y'alls end
Not necessarily a movie, instead a show. Riverdale. The show is incredibly insane, it’s a crappy high school drama but at the same time throwing cults and ghosts and monster bear fights at the wall, I mean in the first fifteen minutes sophomore Archie and 30 year old Ms. Grundy have sex. But in season three’s musical episode, at the end, they finish performing their musical y’know. But then before the audience starts clapping, one man dressed in all white stands up and starts clapping slowly. More and more people in all white stand up and begin clapping with him. And before y’know it, a third of the crowd is clapping in unison and dressed in all white. Basically, this is a cult that had been teased earlier, but this is when we meet em, and it’s such a fun way to show just how much of the town they’ve taken over, it’s a really sick scene.
Great Video! You could take this concept and expand on it? Like, scenes in movies that feel completely out of place or are so strong they could be spun into their own story? L
lol they obviously just couldn't come up with a better ending to death note than regurgitating a line from the manga, it's not as deep as you mistoook it. but what do i know, cheers anyway and thanks for making me reconsider watching a bit of valerian, couldn't get through the courtain of shite to actually watch the memorable parts
Willow Creek has a very solid second half once they actually get to the woods. The problem is the first part of the main guy interviewing people is just incredibly boring and the guy comes off as a complete dick to both the townsfolk and his gf.
Gotta get on a schedule, man. Create a backlog if you need to. That way if you have a week or a day you can’t make a video, you can still upload from the tank.
Hey! I really like your videos, but my one problem is that your spoiler warnings arent audio-accessible. I know its a style choice, but i use ur videos mostly like a podcast so i dont know the movies ur spoiling until u start talking abt them. Obviously u cant just disregard every visual element of your videos (duh ur a film channel) but this part is both really important and a pretty easy fix: just say the names too please!!!
Regarding Valerian, please please for the love of god just read the original comics, the movie is a shallow distillation of their brilliance and they have everything that was good abt the movie and more 🙏 Also yes fuck Luc Besson
dude idk but johnny depp as tonto really hits right. it's almost like he's got this awkward stoicism about him that fits the oddness of the movie. i think i like it because it's so weird.
Like for real the first two examples I believe are note for note plagiarized from another video... Not saying it is intentional but the similarities are way too close...

Congrats on the growth man great videos and an incredibly pivot in content. Really glad your devil vids blew up so you got recommended

How many good moments are needed to make a movie into a good movie? Open discussion
I think it’s not about the quantity or even quality of good moments but rather the overall feeling and thoughts a movie leaves you with.
Yeah the whole thing with Owen, blue and the indoraptor was sick as hell. Too bad it was sandwiched in-between the most boring JP movie.
