@lenindominguez1986 Rain Man is a movie about Tom Cruise learning that he has a brother who is autistic, played by Dustin Hoffman. Cruise's character's father passed away, but in his will, he didn't give him money and instead gave him to Raymond (Hoffman's character). So, Raymond lives in a mental institution and Cruise wants him to go with him. The remaining part of the movie is the both of them going on a road trip to LA, because Cruise works for a, I wanna say a car manufacturing company, and the company's going under.
I got read the riot act by my high school teacher for laughing at this movie. Which was mainly at Cuba's performance. I'm glad this video justifies me doing so.

It the full-on retardation of the actor that had me busting my balls with laughter lol

@@unbrokendredgen4160 Ahem. That is not to excuse Hollywood of making fun of disabled people either. They mock them by exaggerating them like with Radio.
And I'm sure Rain Man was another film they thought of too. That was the very movie that started that "oscar bait movie featuring severely disabled character" trend.

Rdj nailed why that one is still respected in some ways because despite some of the sillier aspects of Forests character there are still a lot of admirable qualities he has in his potrayal. Slow,yes.

I have autism so movies like this and I Am Sam used to offend me when I was younger but now I just laugh at them for how obviously Oscar bait they are mainly thanks to Tropic Thunder
I'm like that with that Predator movie from 2018 when Olivia Munn said that autism is the next step in the evolutionary chain. Moments like this are what I call "politely ignorant"; Hollywood wants to give people with mental and neurological disorders onscreen representation, but they're doing it in the most unintentionally ignorant way possible.
As a nerodivergent black woman whose mom doesn't acknowledge I have one because of her flawed perception of us, this movie hurts me but it's also funny as heck. You can hear the oscar baiting in the music lol
I'm so sorry, to this day there are specialists who still believe Autism and ADHD are male only because nuerodivergent women, especially black women, have very different symptoms and were raised to mask and not to act out from a young age and therefore don't get diagnosed (and if they have a public meltdown it's blamed on the mother not disciplining enough and they never get a doctor referral that boys get). It's frusterating and I'm sorry you mother doesn't believe you (just know that her denying it is more her feeling attacked on her mothering than it is about you, mothers get defensive and assume they're being blamed)
As a kid I used to cry when his mama died in the movie but now as adult I learned after watching Topic Thunder what has taught us you should never go full R word. Boy, ever if I watched Radio again I’ll probably say it’s nothing but white savior movie to me.
The movie is based on a true story, the real Radio and his life. But it makes you wonder what parts in the movie were really true. People saw how the movie The Blind Side really happened They did Quinton's character in The Blind Side, like he was another radio and needed white people to rescue him. When in real life, Quinton is not slow or stupid.
Even as a dumb kid watching this movie, I kept scratching my head at the premise. "Is this guy supposed to be happy and proud to serve the players who bullied him?"
When Martin talked about how the real Radio was higher functioning than the character.... The visual of the "real" Radio at the movie premiere looking around like "Is this how people see me"? Took me out! This roast is everything I hoped it would be🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They used to show this movie all the time in High School. This movie always came across as a shallow attempt of using mentally handicapped people as a way to make themselves feel better.
I swear to god I cannot forgive myself for how i cried as a kid when I saw the scene of Radio after his mother died. Ed Harris did his best and the mom was ok....that's legitimately the only compliments I can give this film. It's just a painful and disgusting Oscar attempt for Cuba Gooding Jr and a shining example in the bargain bin of Racial White savior narratives.

The movie got criticized because Ben Stiller making fun of people who had autism or who they called the r word. A lot people didn't even know it was Robert Downey Jr. I did he just look like he had a tan. I didn't know he was portraying a black man at the beginning of the movie. A lot of people didn't have a problem because he didn't do stereotypes of a black man like Al Jolson others have did. Putting on Black face, stereotypes, mocking, making fun of Blacks and etc like the movies Soul Man from the 80s and the orginal Birth of Nation that is a racist movie They use to show Birth of a Nation to recruit for the KKK.
It's amazing how at the turn of the Millennium, Cuba Gooding Jr really ruined his movie credibility with movies like this, Boat Trip and Snow Dogs & this was before he..... ya know
Its not when you realize he was an harasser (allegedly) behind the scenes and its rumored his movie roles where already starting to dry up before this came out because of that. I bet he only chose to do this movie because at the time because he thought it would put him back in hollywoods good graces.
Dearest Johnny I hope this message finds you well. Although we've had our disagreements in the past, that is no excuse for your outlandish behavior at my expensive.

@@KyleShiflet13666 I'd say Music, the acting from everyone is terrible, the disabled performance is a lot worse, at least Radio had good actors and solid directing.
the coach in radio be like : refuse to report an crime that the football team commited , uses and exploits an possible non - verbal disabled black man on the same football team that bullied and assualted the poor guy and treated him like an prop and an litteral joke
I have a close family member with autism. This trend of having these privileged actors play people with special needs in the most broad, offensive ways possible in order to chase Oscars used to piss me off so much, like with "Radio" here and "I Am Sam." Thank goodness "Tropic Thunder" gave that bullshit the roasting it so thoroughly deserved. Even movies people liked, such as "Rain Man," contributed to those stereotypes. It really doesn't happen that much anymore, but as recently as a couple years ago, somebody asked me if my little brother was good at counting cards, because they saw that in "Rain Man." So fuck that movie too.
The only one of these types of movies that still holds up is Sling Blade. Karl despite his disablities is not played as a fool and is an actual character with an arc and not a prop in the story to make the "normal people" feel better.
As a kid, I honestly loved Radio. Seeing it now, boy, is it not as good as I remembered. Also, the parody Adult Swim did involving Radio had me cracking up whenever DT brought it up to hype up the roast on twitch.
I didn't mind The Ringers with Johnny Knoxville, or What's Eating Gilbert Grape with Leo DiCaprio, but this was kind of offensive to me, as a disabled person myself. Also, Rain Man was even better than this. They tried too hard for this movie0 and failed.
@@spicymemes7458 That was normal back then. Rain Man was the same deal as well. Severely autistic character with traits ramped up to eleven, and a neurotypical brother character played by the good looking Tom Cruise.
Looked up Radio's life on CBN and it shows him shaking hands with students and teachers even his former coach telling how Radio got involve with the football team. Hilarious review though Radio's real story is amazing.
Peak ‘White Savior’ films that made the main black characters completely incompetent (as in dumb/extremely naive for some reason) without the righteous white person coming to their rescue and improving their lives. 🙄 It’s supposed to be “sweet and touching”, but it comes off as so pretentious (and as you said, low-key racist).
They made the blind side kid mentally challenged too when he didnt even have a disability IRL and his "white saviors" stole all the money profits from the films by taking out a conservatorship on the kid. Both of these movies can suck it.
Thank GOD that trend of actors playing mentally challenge people to fish for an Oscar period is over its so demeaning and manipulative i grew up with a learning disability and was called all kinds of R words as a kid so this really gets under my skin
@@assassin8636 did you miss the part when I said the trend was demeaning and manipulative towards people with actual disabilities? And the term you’re looking for is disabled people,
I was waiting for this roast ever since Radio got mentioned during the Boat Trip roast. Guys didn't disappoint. Lol, interpreting Radio's written out loops as a passionate letter of revenge was the highlight of the video. Started to tear up once the DT crew got going.
My mother who spent her entire life working for OMH in my state managing care facilities for people with a myriad of disabilities despised this movie. I rented this thinking she would like it and we got into a whole ass conversation about how mentally ill\disabled people are played up for laughs in film.
@@assassin8636 yeah not anymore as much but back then we had a ton of big name movies and smaller ones that basically did this . The only good thing that came from movies like Radio is that they killed this formula of movie entirely.
They hit the nail on the head. The scene when they tied him up is so heartbreaking…then he runs out and trips and falls. Now the fall could gain more sympathy…but that sound is so distracting and hilarious. The he three stooges would be proud 😂😂

- Miami Connection (Who you bullshitting, don't you give me the point, WHERE'S MONEY? and MANY MANY MORE).
- Samurai Cop
@@weilim10 No Tyler Perry movie in this list? I'm surprised. The roasts for Temptation (2 part episode), A Fall From Grace and Acrimony were HILARIOUS! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me and my friends turned radio into a comedy in High School and still have running jokes bout that movie. Thanks for this Roast!
Thanks Double Toasted 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I came as soon as I heard. And no, that's not some kind of reference. I literally came.
Thank you Double Toasted
Man clean up after yourself. You nasty.
Pls subscribe double Toasted 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why on the thumbnail Radio look like he was about to eat a whole Bag of Gummy Bears all at once 📻🤯🤪👀😭😭💀
Wow 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tropic Thunder really went over alot of people’s heads. Mostly those that want to be offended by everything. RDJ killed that role.
The movie got criticized because Ben Stiller making fun of people who had autism or who they called the r word.
A lot people didn't even know it was Robert Downey Jr.
I did he just look like he had a tan.
I didn't know he was portraying a black man at the beginning of the movie.
A lot of people didn't have a problem because he didn't do stereotypes of a black man like Al Jolson others have did.
Putting on Black face, stereotypes, mocking, making fun of Blacks and etc like the movies Soul Man from the 80s and the orginal Birth of Nation that is a racist movie
They use to show Birth of a Nation to recruit for the KKK.
It still does. 🤣
Been waiting a LONG time for you guys to upload this. LFG!!!!!!
Returning Bad Movie Roast players:
* Cuba Gooding Jr. (Boat Trip and Norbit)
* Brian Robbins (Norbit)
If they do "Snow Dogs", then Cuba will be a returning member and hall of famer.
I don’t think Brian Robbins directed it, I think he was only a producer
@@gcolbypThey mentioned it in the video. He’s an executive producer on the film.
Norbit was a classic and also they already did it 🤨
Nah the translations of radios letter to johnny had me crying 😂😂😂😂
It's amazing how at the turn of the Millennium, Cuba Gooding Jr really ruined his movie credibility with movies like this, Boat Trip and Snow Dogs & this was before he..... ya know
Its not when you realize he was an harasser (allegedly) behind the scenes and its rumored his movie roles where already starting to dry up before this came out because of that. I bet he only chose to do this movie because at the time because he thought it would put him back in hollywoods good graces.
lol snowdogs wasn't that bad.
@@treycotton9121Snow Dogs Was Boring
Dearest Johnny
I hope this message finds you well. Although we've had our disagreements in the past, that is no excuse for your outlandish behavior at my expensive. While I've tried to ignore your abuse in the past, I fear I can no longer remain passive. It pains me to say that all is not forgiven, and, since the law will not prosecute you in a manner I see fit, I fear I must take matters into my own hands. Sleep with one eye open.
Love, Radio o oooooooooo
lolol
That run away laugh from Billy is a new classic.
Cuba went full.
Went home empty handed
That letter to Johnny was written in Radio waves..
50:28 "Signed, Love Radio" I laughed so hard at this!!! 😂 We need to bring this back. Let's start commenting disrespectful stuff on videos we really don't like then sign it with "Love ____".
Before Music by Sia, there was Radio
I don't know which one is worse
@@KyleShiflet13666 I'd say Music, the acting from everyone is terrible, the disabled performance is a lot worse, at least Radio had good actors and solid directing.
Music is the most offensive then all of them
Music AND Rain Man are both horrible lmao
@@_Nekronos_ Disagree with the latter, Rain Man was good. Dustin did a good job unlike Sia.
the coach in radio be like : refuse to report an crime that the football team commited , uses and exploits an possible non - verbal disabled black man on the same football team that bullied and assualted the poor guy and treated him like an prop and an litteral joke
I have a close family member with autism. This trend of having these privileged actors play people with special needs in the most broad, offensive ways possible in order to chase Oscars used to piss me off so much, like with "Radio" here and "I Am Sam." Thank goodness "Tropic Thunder" gave that bullshit the roasting it so thoroughly deserved. Even movies people liked, such as "Rain Man," contributed to those stereotypes. It really doesn't happen that much anymore, but as recently as a couple years ago, somebody asked me if my little brother was good at counting cards, because they saw that in "Rain Man." So fuck that movie too.
The only one of these types of movies that still holds up is Sling Blade. Karl despite his disablities is not played as a fool and is an actual character with an arc and not a prop in the story to make the "normal people" feel better.
Have you seen the movie MUSIC by Sia?
@@mttylerdurden9Oh god no
As a kid, I honestly loved Radio.
Seeing it now, boy, is it not as good as I remembered.
Also, the parody Adult Swim did involving Radio had me cracking up whenever DT brought it up to hype up the roast on twitch.
Go Watch the Radio Documentary
You guys had me dying during this whole roast this was the funniest bad movie roast by far🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep watching those bad movie roasts 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
my teachers in 6th grade swore this movie was the greatest achievement in filmmaking.
Same
My teacher thought I Am Sam was incredible 💀
I didn't mind The Ringers with Johnny Knoxville, or What's Eating Gilbert Grape with Leo DiCaprio, but this was kind of offensive to me, as a disabled person myself.
Also, Rain Man was even better than this.
They tried too hard for this movie0 and failed.
The thumbnail…I clicked immediately 😂😂😂
If they stuck to the real story of Radio. I think the movie would’ve been better. The real guys story is really freaking cool. Go look it up now.
This has got to be one of your funniest bad movie review.
You guys NEED to roast I Am Sam.
That letter to johnny is the funniest part of the whole roast
this has to be the funniest movie roast yall have ever done lol i know my neighbors think im crazy for how much i been laughing lmao
RIP Radio 😢😢😢
The saddest part is this is based on a real person.
@@spicymemes7458 That was normal back then. Rain Man was the same deal as well.
Severely autistic character with traits ramped up to eleven, and a neurotypical brother character played by the good looking Tom Cruise.
In that case.Rip everyone that was born before 1915 😂 sry couldn’t help it
A wise man once said.... "...You NEVER go Full ... 😳 ..."
Billy's humor was the highlight of this review for me. Even when he didn't get a laugh sometimes, I was CRYING! 😂
We had Freddy vs Jason now we need Radio vs Sling Blade 😄😄😁
Radio and Baby Boy are the 2 most unintentionally funny movies of all time. Tyrese was dead serious in Baby Boy and it was hilarious.
"He's a killer just like Henry was!"
@@JaePhalcon lmao, the scene where he gets jumped for his bike then runs to his homies house is pure comedy lol
Radio falling after getting out the shed & his foot hitting the metal & clinging hard AF had me dead 😂
@@ajax5467 he makes that little noise too lmao
Fuckin love Baby boy, that movie's awesome
I wish this was on Twitch. I love the longer roasts. I’ve been waiting on this one. 😂
The thumbnail i just can't.😂
Dear Johnny, I know we had some differences in the past but I won't forget what you did to me. All is not forgiven. Your ass is dead.
Love,
Radio😭😭😭😭
Looked up Radio's life on CBN and it shows him shaking hands with students and teachers even his former coach telling how Radio got involve with the football team. Hilarious review though Radio's real story is amazing.
We gonna need that I Am Sam roast asap. That movie needs as much slander as possible!
I never noticed how low-key racist this and The Blind Side was when they first came out 😂😂😂
Peak ‘White Savior’ films that made the main black characters completely incompetent (as in dumb/extremely naive for some reason) without the righteous white person coming to their rescue and improving their lives. 🙄
It’s supposed to be “sweet and touching”, but it comes off as so pretentious (and as you said, low-key racist).
They made the blind side kid mentally challenged too when he didnt even have a disability IRL and his "white saviors" stole all the money profits from the films by taking out a conservatorship on the kid. Both of these movies can suck it.
50:15 Radio wasnt playing 😂
Pure comedy 😂😂
A comedy parody poked fun at this once.
Oh it was the comebacks.😂
Do i hear a radio?
Thank GOD that trend of actors playing mentally challenge people to fish for an Oscar period is over
its so demeaning and manipulative
i grew up with a learning disability and was called all kinds of R words as a kid so this really gets under my skin
So they should stop that trend? Then yall would say why they're no disability people on the screen
@@assassin8636 did you miss the part when I said the trend was demeaning and manipulative towards people with actual disabilities? And the term you’re looking for is disabled people,
@@47Cartoonguy yeah but in my mind your comment came across as a"what do yall even want"
I was waiting for this roast ever since Radio got mentioned during the Boat Trip roast. Guys didn't disappoint. Lol, interpreting Radio's written out loops as a passionate letter of revenge was the highlight of the video. Started to tear up once the DT crew got going.
It’s about time you took “sometimes Billy” off the title as Billy is always doing theses bad movie roasts
Agreed.
Literally the main reason I watch them
@@skyofthelivingdead me too
I wasn't going to watch this one, but I knew Billy would keep me laughing my ass off.
I’ve never watched the movie but I’ve seen people make fun of it and it sounded hilarious
The letter gag lolololol Dear Johnny _ Love Radio & or Sincerely Radio 50:20
"congratulations" on drawing circles 😄😄😄😄😄😄
My mother who spent her entire life working for OMH in my state managing care facilities for people with a myriad of disabilities despised this movie. I rented this thinking she would like it and we got into a whole ass conversation about how mentally ill\disabled people are played up for laughs in film.
Not all the time
@@assassin8636 yeah not anymore as much but back then we had a ton of big name movies and smaller ones that basically did this . The only good thing that came from movies like Radio is that they killed this formula of movie entirely.
They hit the nail on the head. The scene when they tied him up is so heartbreaking…then he runs out and trips and falls. Now the fall could gain more sympathy…but that sound is so distracting and hilarious. The he three stooges would be proud 😂😂
This is how cuda gooding jr was acting at Diddy parties
Hmm speaking of, I wonder if the "freak-offs" will feature Cuba at some point.
SHOW ME THE DUMMY!!!
When I started watching this I wondered how long until Tropic Thunder was quoted.
When I started reading comments I wondered how long until someone else mentioned Tropic Thunder.
this movie is the standard of don't go full R**** the new phrase should be "don't go full radio"
