@@Corbomite_Meatballs what "adult therapy" actually is: therapy for adults as opposed to children what my brain immediately assumed "adult therapy" is: sexy therapy
Rem Lezar feels like the strangest adaptation of a H.P Lovecraft story ever. Two children have the same dream and immediately decide "WE MUST BUILD HIM".
I'm increasingly convinced that Mike was never a child - a cloud made from the disappointment and cynicism of a million wasted lives combined with Rich's imaginary friend, thus his tormentor came into being.
Rem = REM sleep, specifically referencing the act of Dreaming. Le = The Zar = Tsar, or Czar meaning Leader, or even King. Rem Lezar is the King of Dreams.

Dude, that first video is such frigging bullshit. None of that shit happens. When someone sees a pentagram drawn anywhere it's usually an edgy teen that did it. Not *actual fucking Satanists.* These ultra Christian weirdos fall for that crap. Poop like that drives me insane.
@@johnt.campbell316 Yeah, I've been in law enforcement for 24 years and never seen any real Satan worshipping stuff. Like you said, anyone who draws that stuff is just trying to get a rise out of people. None of them are actual Satanists. I am proud to say I did see Surviving Edged Weapons in a training class one time a long time ago. It was great when the guys reviewed it.
On one hand I'm happy Rem Lezar was such a great time. On the other hand i've got 1000 plants just sitting here in my house next to the Walmart so I'm a little sad you skipped it.
It's taken me 4 re-watches to notice the joke at 45:16 where they compliment the shirt Mike is wearing, which is the exact same shirt they mocked Jay for wearing in the previous episode.
It's pretty deep when you stip and think about it. A religion, which is basically just imagination, motivated a group of people to commit an act that most would not and could not pull off. So yeah, imagination brought down the twin towers.
The how-to video on plants sounds like something out of a cartoon. You know, like when a character needs to know how to do something for a very specific situation, and immediately stumbles across a how-to book on that exact subject, complete with a title that describes the exact situation they're in.
@@planescaped yeah. That would be a joke that a show like that, or SpongeBob, or really any of those types of cartoons would make and it would fit well. Heifer accidentally steals a big truck full of plants and pawns it off on Rocko, then the plot of the episode is him trying to figure out what to do with them. It shows Rocko either flipping thru a book called that or he pulls out that video tape off his shelf and says "It's about time I watch this."
ross blair wasn’t that a wheel episode with the mushroom obsessed man and exploding varmints? I just remember Rich saying “soup will cure everything except AIIIDDDS”
Just realized Courtney Kernaghan who played the girl passed away in 2017 at 40 years...and on a obituary site Rem Lezar posted: "The highest point of imagination is love." 😢
What you serious? :’( I remember when I first watched stuff on Rem Lazar back in 2014 when i discovered this film. I looked to see what the cast were doing those days and she was still living in nyc at the time. Didn’t know she died that’s so sad, 40 is young too :(
if you read the comments on the American Rickshaw episode, apparently Mulcahy (who plays Rem) is a very kind man. i think that's exemplary of what i think Rem Lazar was SUPPOSED to represent but they garfed it completely
Rem Lazar could have been an amazing horror film about two psychic kids who create a tulpa from their shared visions and give form to a malevolent entity who craves more and more power. At the end it is destroyed on 9/11.

WOMANpukumaru thank you! I love ‘em all for different reasons. Jack’s hysterical whenever he gets drunk enough, he becomes extremely cynical but with an ear-to-ear grin. Jay likes to reference movies he knows no one’s ever heard of. Mike is just Captain Wisconsin8s secret identity. Josh gets enjoyably energetic and has the best “Oh fuck please no” type reactions. And of course, Rich is just a gift from above.
Rem Lezar would make a good horror movie. It's about a being that goes into children's dreams and tells gets them to build a vessel for it to inhabit in the corporeal world.
@@markferraresi8789 It was from those interviews I learned he used to be the guy singing in some Snickers commercials. And I always thought that guy had a voice that was way better than you'd expect in such a thing
I go to a local horror movie convention and they have a screening room where they play old horror movies and random crazy shit. One of the screenings I sat in on was Rem Lezar. The guy screening it was super enthusiastic about sharing it's crazy with other people. Good times.
Little Boy: "That's not it, that's the Empire State Building. But the building my Dad showed me is much taller, and there's two of them." Mike: _"OH GOD!"_
But actually though, disaster at the crossing deserved a vote for actually having the rare good intention and the budget to kill an actual bus with a train.
It's not totally garbage, but that doesn't mean it deserves a vote. They are right, the measuring stick has always been "which of these is the most entertaining."
@@TheHangedMan It's not "Most Entertaining of the Worst," it's "Best of the Worst". I think Mike's argument, which they never let him get to, is that the Bus/Train video was the most competently made, rather than the funniest because it was total shit/absurd/whatever. I'm 99% certain he's also picked the "best made" movie in previous Best of the Worsts, to everyone else's chagrin. and no one gets to determine your criteria for "best" except you
Yeah he was gonna rationalize it was the most competently put together film outside of pure personal entertainment value, theyve done that before so Mike had a fair point

Anagrams for "Creating Rem Lezar": "Canalize Mr. Regret", "Recreating Mr. Zeal", "Malice Grazer Rent", "Miracle Grater Zen", "Crazier Angel Term", "Carrel Germane Zit"
I joined a Star Wars rpg group a few months ago and named my character Rem Lezar. Malice Grazer Rent sounds like an awesome name for a Star Wars villain.
@@janesmith1840 Someone must have used that before, right? In some expanded universe novel or videogame or something. "Did you ever read the fan-fiction of Darth Malice the Badass? It's not a story George Lucas would tell you..."
A few more Creating Rem Lezar anagrams for the pile: "Erect Zinger Alarm," "Centralize Mr. Rage," "German Zit Clearer," "Errant Eczema Girl," "Zing Rectal Reamer," "Mein Rectal Grazer," "Zit Enlarger Cream," "Crater Glaze Miner," "General Trim Craze."
40:55 Mike's Reaction when Rich's prophecy came real! Seriously someone needs to go back through ALL of their videos to find all the weird things associated with Rich! Remember Dick the Birthday boy? When that damn bear magically appeared in the film-hahah wasn't it dead too?
It was answered a few botw episodes ago, at some point Rich is going to be drawn back in time and write a bunch of shitty 80’s movies trying to warn himself about the time wormhole. And Rem Lezar.
I don't know if anyone pointed this out already, but Scott Zakarin, who wrote, directed and produced Rem Lezar "created the web series platform when he introduced the first internet episodic website The Spot" - as per his Wiki page... So he's actually the father of all this, with web series like RLM creates and maybe in a parallel universe, Creating Rem Lezar led to a different RLM: Rem Lezar Media! There's the true conspiracy!
The beginning of Rem Lezar sounds like a good idea for a horror movie. A couple kids decide to build their imaginary friend then it comes to life and murders people or something
Christopher McDonald take it a step further, make it seem the imaginary friend is killing them and have the twist be the dreaming kids. And they also somehow commit 9/11 which in itself sounds like a movie idea
They have to stop Rem Lezar from murdering kids, but as he dies he's like "I will have my revenge!" and then it cuts to like 10 years later when the kids are grown up a bit and they're out having fun, and then like both of them just get an image of Rem Lezar, like they just feel his presence. And then... FUCKIN' 9/11 HAPPENS AND KILLS ONE OF THE KIDS!!! The rest of the film is just an It-style adventure to re-live the surviving kid's adventure through central park to find and murder Rem Lezar for what he's done!
Jay Rich and Josh were judging the tapes from a utilitarian perspective, ie, whichever tapes brings the most pleasure, regardless of intent or more basically regardless of whether or not they laughed because it was bad or genuinely funny, is the best. Mike judged them from an Aristoliean(?) perspective, ie whichever tape best performs its function is the best tape. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Christoph Czeitschner Rich Evans seems to be much more suspicious of the true existence of the world around him than Mike. Mike has more in common with Descartes than Pyrrho is we are speaking of the history of solipsism
10/10 review of Rem Lazar on IMDB: *I was never sure what to say when people asked me what my favorite movie was, I mean there were lots of films I liked, but I always felt incomplete , different from the others because i had missed out on some major cinematic experience or something , that is until I popped in the tape and was introduced to my new best friend, and hero, Rem.* *The movie has it all, action, adventure, mullets, singing, dancing, a scary floating head, a creepy shack in the woods, unfit parents, sexual tension, and even a black guy.* *I am proud that this movie is not only a part of my collection, but rarely leaves the VCR itself. Its a great movie to watch on your own or with your friends, but if you watch it a lot on your own you may not have that many friends anyways. Thank you Phil W, for bringing such a wonderful gift into my life no i never had a friend like you!* I'm speechless
@@Hack_The_Planet_ It's an easy mistake to make when English is not ones first language. If anything, it seems counter intuitive if not outright illogical that the double O in "loose" is pronounced in a shorter, less emphasized way than the single one in "lose". As such, I too kept making this very same mistake for years until technology progressed and started correcting me. Because people never did.
"He's walking like his neck's broken!" It's the singing. They got this kid to sing out of his range, and he has bad technique so he's stretching the larynx by tilting his chin up.
idk about that, the singing is clearly recorded elsewhere and dubbed. more likely they told him to look around and kids don't know how to do that and look natural
So happy to see Rem Lezar gets the exposure it deserves. I used to host screenings including make your own Rem Lezar figures. Hopefully this will lead to a bluray release.
I recognized it from when the group/website Everything is Terrible used clips of it on one of their videos ages ago. SO it's nice to see more of it in this review haha.
My mother-in-law is a freelance birth instructor and has had The Orgasmic Birth in her movie library for as long as I've known her and it's not even her weirdest birthing video. One video follows a Brazilian birthing home in the 70s for a week and it's amazing. These women walk in squat over a wood toilet with no front and just catch the baby as it falls out of them as god intended I suppose. Anyway if you guys want more obscure birth videos just hit me up and I'll raid that old bats video shelf.
Rem Lezar Facts: Rem Lezar was written and seemingly produced by Scott Zakarin, who also plays the antagonist Vorock. My guess back in the day was that he was probably about 18-20 when the movie was made (1989). He's since gone on to produce some basic D-list stuff like low budget horror movies and TV movies. If you watch to the end of the credits, you'll see that the movie was funded by some kind of psychological foundation. My theory has always been that Zakarin was some kind of New York arts high school teenager who got a movie produced using familial connections, under the auspices of creating a kind of psychologically educational children's video about bullying. For a fun treat, Google "Rem Lezar snickers commercial". The actor who plays Rem was in a Snickers commercial in the mid-2000's, playing a similar role. I always assumed the ad company must have known about his Rem past. Otherwise, it's too big of a coincidence.
Yeah, I was going to suggest that this may have been originally intended as a release for schools and hospitals to assist in supporting kids with trauma. If not, all bets are off.
Completely forgot about making this comment, but I know all this because I found Rem Lezar in shrink wrap at a thrift store as a teen. As you might imagine, it was mind blowing. This was the early days of RUclips when Ebaums was more popular. We felt that we owed it to the world to spread Rem Lezar, but we were too lazy to figure out how to get a VHS on the internet in, like, 2003. Anyway, the fact that I found it in a thrift shop in Pennsylvania shrink-wrapped for some reason implied to me that these were given out for free or something. It wasn't like there were a ton of them like you see when a warehouse gets rid of overstock. It was just one in perfect condition, like a kid got it as a gift. Anyway, as we all know the story has a happy ending, because Rem became a staple of the Found Footage Festival and now RLM. But do yourself a favor: look up Kids Against Crime. You can currently see a full ep on Vimeo.
The Little boy is also a well known B movie actor. He’s from Flushing,NY. The Little girl sadly passed away in early 2017 from Ovarian Cancer at the untimely age of 39. She was from East Meadow,NY.
A year later and I still want to find out how to sell thousands of dollars of plants from home even if im surrounded by home improvement and discount stores
Reposting someone else's comment since I don't see it here anymore: R.E.M. Rapid Eye Movement (Deep Sleep). La - spanish for 'the' and t'zar - King. Rem Lazar is the King of dreams.
My extremely cynical theory: Rich sneaks into the warehouse at night to watch tapes planned for Best of the Worst episodes. It's really the only thing that makes sense at this point other than him being a demi-god.
"How to Sell Thousands of Dollars Worth of Plants from Home, Even If Your House is Surrounded by Huge Discount Stores and Home Improvement Stores" sounds like a Don Caballero song title
Lazarus was famous for being resurrected by Jesus "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die". Perhaps it's a portmanteau of "Remember Lazarus", perhaps hinting at his true nature.
Rem Lezar was played by Jack Mulcahy, a 7-time award winning actor, who found fame in Porky's, a 1981 sex comedy (which, for the record, came out 8 years before Creating Rem Lezar). In fact, the film that he had done before this children's musical was Porky's 2: The Next Day. And, at that time, literally nothing else.
I am too. I wanted to watch it, but the chances were against it. Yet, fate chose it. Then, after all that, they chose Rem Lazar. Damn you Rem Lazar. DAMN YOU!!!!

Rem Lezar sounds like the name of a director whose movies constantly show up on Best of the Worst.

"I couldn't get Nightmare on Elm Street, but this is close enough."
Was the guy screening it Rem Lezar?
Little Boy: "That's not it, that's the Empire State Building. But the building my Dad showed me is much taller, and there's two of them."

Can we get a side by side ID check for Rem Lazar and Mohammad Atta?
Rem Lezar deserves a spot in the Wheel of the Worst Hall of Fame next to Surviving Edged Weapons.
Rem Lezar gives off the same vibes as The Night Man Cometh from It's Always Sunny.
You think the director of Rem Lazar got fondled by his uncle when he was a kid? cause that would make perfect sense.
You gotta pay the toll troll to get into Rem Lezar’s hole.
@@irishmanrants89 Soul! To get in his soul..
Rem Lezar is basically the good Night Man.
@TexMechs He doesn't need them. The ties to 9/11 are all he needs to get gasps out of the audience.
But actually though, disaster at the crossing deserved a vote for actually having the rare good intention and the budget to kill an actual bus with a train.
It's not totally garbage, but that doesn't mean it deserves a vote. They are right, the measuring stick has always been "which of these is the most entertaining."
@@TheHangedMan How is watching a bus get cleaved in twain by a locomotive not entertaining?
@@TheHangedMan It's not "Most Entertaining of the Worst," it's "Best of the Worst". I think Mike's argument, which they never let him get to, is that the Bus/Train video was the most competently made, rather than the funniest because it was total shit/absurd/whatever. I'm 99% certain he's also picked the "best made" movie in previous Best of the Worsts, to everyone else's chagrin.
and no one gets to determine your criteria for "best" except you
Yeah he was gonna rationalize it was the most competently put together film outside of pure personal entertainment value, theyve done that before so Mike had a fair point
Brah wtf
I can't say how many times I've come back to this specific episode. It's such a comfort watch
I think the new goal of Wheel of the Worst should be to take all the footage and re-cut it to make a narrative story.
Well forexample Everything is Terrible is doing exactly that in their movies.
Kinda like the McBain Movie from Simpsons
Would love to see that

It's a good baritone, but completely out of place with the two young children he normally shares the songs with.

That was a very unfortunate sentence, now that I think about it.

40:55 Mike's Reaction when Rich's prophecy came real! Seriously someone needs to go back through ALL of their videos to find all the weird things associated with Rich! Remember Dick the Birthday boy? When that damn bear magically appeared in the film-hahah wasn't it dead too?
There is already a few video on youtube that has them. Even RLM has a video were they were guessing dead celebrities.
It was answered a few botw episodes ago, at some point Rich is going to be drawn back in time and write a bunch of shitty 80’s movies trying to warn himself about the time wormhole. And Rem Lezar.
Rich is the Messiah
Rich has magical powers, don't you know that?
It's because Rich has been seeing Rem Lezar in his dreams for years.
Mike is wearing the shirt he made fun of jay for wearing

I don't know if anyone pointed this out already, but Scott Zakarin, who wrote, directed and produced Rem Lezar "created the web series platform when he introduced the first internet episodic website The Spot" - as per his Wiki page... So he's actually the father of all this, with web series like RLM creates and maybe in a parallel universe, Creating Rem Lezar led to a different RLM: Rem Lezar Media! There's the true conspiracy!
Sonia Kalcic Rem Lezar knew the planes would hit the towers. He did it so that years later, someone would go and make RUclips...
*It's all come full circle*
It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
RLM or Rem Lezar Media
Sonia, I noticed. :-)
The beginning of Rem Lezar sounds like a good idea for a horror movie. A couple kids decide to build their imaginary friend then it comes to life and murders people or something
Christopher McDonald take it a step further, make it seem the imaginary friend is killing them and have the twist be the dreaming kids. And they also somehow commit 9/11 which in itself sounds like a movie idea
Killing their enemies, which at first seems rad, but then it kills their parents for grounding them or something. Like Heathers, in a way
They have to stop Rem Lezar from murdering kids, but as he dies he's like "I will have my revenge!" and then it cuts to like 10 years later when the kids are grown up a bit and they're out having fun, and then like both of them just get an image of Rem Lezar, like they just feel his presence. And then... FUCKIN' 9/11 HAPPENS AND KILLS ONE OF THE KIDS!!!
The rest of the film is just an It-style adventure to re-live the surviving kid's adventure through central park to find and murder Rem Lezar for what he's done!
"or something" I approve this part of your pitch.
Is there a word for “wholesome that doesn’t know it’s creepy”?

Jay Rich and Josh were judging the tapes from a utilitarian perspective, ie, whichever tapes brings the most pleasure, regardless of intent or more basically regardless of whether or not they laughed because it was bad or genuinely funny, is the best.

10/10 review of Rem Lazar on IMDB:
*I was never sure what to say when people asked me what my favorite movie was, I mean there were lots of films I liked, but I always felt incomplete , different from the others because i had missed out on some major cinematic experience or something , that is until I popped in the tape and was introduced to my new best friend, and hero, Rem.*
*The movie has it all, action, adventure, mullets, singing, dancing, a scary floating head, a creepy shack in the woods, unfit parents, sexual tension, and even a black guy.*
*I am proud that this movie is not only a part of my collection, but rarely leaves the VCR itself. Its a great movie to watch on your own or with your friends, but if you watch it a lot on your own you may not have that many friends anyways. Thank you Phil W, for bringing such a wonderful gift into my life no i never had a friend like you!*
I'm speechless
Pretty hilarious joke review. Give that man a medal
zips2626 Or do you mean a Quixotic Medallion?

Between not voting for Rem Lazar and voting for Shark Exorcist Mike should loose his voting privileges.
His contrarian picks are delightful. Plus I think "Rem Lazar will never cum again" was Rich's finest moment, what a perfect build up and conclusion.
Don't forget vampire assassin 😂
Why do so many people spell the word lose as “loose” now? Wtf is going on?
@@Hack_The_Planet_ It's an easy mistake to make when English is not ones first language. If anything, it seems counter intuitive if not outright illogical that the double O in "loose" is pronounced in a shorter, less emphasized way than the single one in "lose". As such, I too kept making this very same mistake for years until technology progressed and started correcting me. Because people never did.
@@milczyciel I know people that use English as a first language and they still spell “lose” as “loose” it makes no sense.
"He's walking like his neck's broken!"
It's the singing. They got this kid to sing out of his range, and he has bad technique so he's stretching the larynx by tilting his chin up.
This is genuinely fascinating.
I think it's just as likely they told him to "act like he was imagining this scene" so he did the classic head tilt to express that.
idk about that, the singing is clearly recorded elsewhere and dubbed. more likely they told him to look around and kids don't know how to do that and look natural

So happy to see Rem Lezar gets the exposure it deserves. I used to host screenings including make your own Rem Lezar figures. Hopefully this will lead to a bluray release.
I recognized it from when the group/website Everything is Terrible used clips of it on one of their videos ages ago. SO it's nice to see more of it in this review haha.
My mother-in-law is a freelance birth instructor and has had The Orgasmic Birth in her movie library for as long as I've known her and it's not even her weirdest birthing video.

These women walk in squat over a wood toilet with no front and just catch the baby as it falls out of them as god intended I suppose. Anyway if you guys want more obscure birth videos just hit me up and I'll raid that old bats video shelf.

Rem Lezar Facts: Rem Lezar was written and seemingly produced by Scott Zakarin, who also plays the antagonist Vorock. My guess back in the day was that he was probably about 18-20 when the movie was made (1989). He's since gone on to produce some basic D-list stuff like low budget horror movies and TV movies. If you watch to the end of the credits, you'll see that the movie was funded by some kind of psychological foundation. My theory has always been that Zakarin was some kind of New York arts high school teenager who got a movie produced using familial connections, under the auspices of creating a kind of psychologically educational children's video about bullying. For a fun treat, Google "Rem Lezar snickers commercial". The actor who plays Rem was in a Snickers commercial in the mid-2000's, playing a similar role. I always assumed the ad company must have known about his Rem past. Otherwise, it's too big of a coincidence.
Yeah, I was going to suggest that this may have been originally intended as a release for schools and hospitals to assist in supporting kids with trauma. If not, all bets are off.
Got a link because I found nothing.

Completely forgot about making this comment, but I know all this because I found Rem Lezar in shrink wrap at a thrift store as a teen. As you might imagine, it was mind blowing. This was the early days of RUclips when Ebaums was more popular. We felt that we owed it to the world to spread Rem Lezar, but we were too lazy to figure out how to get a VHS on the internet in, like, 2003. Anyway, the fact that I found it in a thrift shop in Pennsylvania shrink-wrapped for some reason implied to me that these were given out for free or something. It wasn't like there were a ton of them like you see when a warehouse gets rid of overstock. It was just one in perfect condition, like a kid got it as a gift. Anyway, as we all know the story has a happy ending, because Rem became a staple of the Found Footage Festival and now RLM. But do yourself a favor: look up Kids Against Crime. You can currently see a full ep on Vimeo.

Lazarus was famous for being resurrected by Jesus "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die". Perhaps it's a portmanteau of "Remember Lazarus", perhaps hinting at his true nature.

Surely the highest place was from whatever the makers of Rem Lezar were smoking.
I guess it has to be now, considering the old highest point is now ground zero.
Rem Lezar was played by Jack Mulcahy, a 7-time award winning actor, who found fame in Porky's, a 1981 sex comedy (which, for the record, came out 8 years before Creating Rem Lezar). In fact, the film that he had done before this children's musical was Porky's 2: The Next Day. And, at that time, literally nothing else.
