I grew up with a Dad who was a small time then gradually big time television, live events and movie producer. Everyone thinks that'd be so cool as a kid but it's really not. Making movies is like tedium punctuated by rare snippets of excitement but the stress level of those exciting moments to go right/to plan are so high it's agonising. Live events are just a constant heart attack. The sets and costuming and crafting props and stuff/storyboarding is awesome though if you're into making things and art. I love electronics and set pieces with kms of wiring and microcontrollers for blinky Controlpanel lights was a staple of my childhood. And my twin sis started doing basic editing and ,video toasting'(effects) on Amiga when she was 11 or 12 as a summer job through her teens. I met a lot of interesting people from sports stars to prime ministers to artists and musicians along with actors but the actual movie making is dreadfully repetitive and boring but high stress at the same time and made me feel anxious for all the adults all the time.
Fun story, I actually had a singing class with the lead actor/writer/director, Sam Mraovich back at Santa Monica College. He was always a super nice guy. It's kind of surreal to realize that he made this movie before I ever knew him.
@@andrealuis301 He.... definitely tried. I respected the effort he put into improving, and he really made progress at the time. I didn't personally think he was very good at singing, but I believe he had a hard time with pitch and probably specifically needed more ear training. That was years ago though, so maybe he's improved since then. That's why people are in class after all, to acknowledge shortcomings and become better.
Seeing what people can do on a low budget with some thought and creativity actually makes Hollywood look less and less like they know what they're doing.
I actually used Mike's reverse mnemonic technique a lot to remember things in school. It works even better if it spawns a long drawn-out conversation about what a bad technique it is, because recalling that conversation makes the mnemonic itself more memorable. Mike knew exactly what he was doing.

I give the filmmaker of Ben and Arthur all the credit in the world. Not only did he inadvertently make this BotW episode happen, but he wanted to make a movie and he did. It's horribly flawed and comically incompetent, but hey, the man had a dream and he fucking went and did it despite everything working against him. Respect.
I think Jack in a Pre-Rec stream once said--and all present agreed--that no matter how much they shit on the filmmakers they do, they still have a begrudging respect for them actually making a feature film, considering how horrible an experience it is for content creators. One can definitely say that also gives them a bit more cred to freely criticize them since RLM are much in the same boat.
Little did I know, that when I watched the first ever BOTW episode, that this would become my personal "most rewatched" youtube video series. my favorite so far "A Very Cannon Christmas" and boy would I be happy to see a sequel to that this December! One can have hopes and dreams!
Especially if for Another Cannon Christmas they watch either all of Tobe Hooper’s Cannon films for Re:View (because even if two out three of them aren’t classics, they’re all entertaining to watch) or the Enter The Ninja anthology series (none of them have anything in common save for a recurring stunt actor/Ninja Actor Sho Kosugi, but despite that each movie sequel is a numbered title like they were making direct sequels).

I watched this video on a laptop that's currently sitting on a folding table. I'm 20 and I just moved out of my parents place and to the city a month and a half ago. I have a 48 pack of ramen noodles on the top shelf in my closet, and a folding chair for seating.
Please make sure you can find anything else to round out your ramen noodles, at least often, becausd that stuff is just carbs, palm oil, and lots of salt.

YES Ben and Arthur is incredible. You can find Sam Mraovich's filmmaking how-to's on RUclips. Much like Neal Breen, he's a real genius. 10-ish years ago he also had a website that hosted his various short films, which he claimed to have submitted for consideration to the Academy Awards every year.

Is the “do we really have to go all the way to Vermont?” Question a result of most people not realizing how FAR away Hawaii is? I think that the characters/filmmaker think that Hawaii is significantly closer to California than Vermont is.
My guess is they realized Hawaii didn’t do same sex marriages at the time and Vermont did. Vermont was the first state to allow civil unions and then later marriage while Hawaii was a few years later.
I've been recording electric guitar samples for the last 40 minutes, unaware that the whole episode was bleeding into the pickups. Im wondering if I should just leave that in or not.
"Just because you have strong feelings about something, maybe...maybe you shouldn't just vomit them up and just throw them at the world if you have no talent."
@@JohnDoe-vm5rb - Precisely my point - I believe that experience is the real difference, and that "talent" is a concept used to trick people into assuming that they are artists because they are Special People with exclusive abilities, rather than those who simply had ideas AND consistently followed through in realizing them. Cultural industries depend upon this subtle "leave it to the professionals" spin for their own job security, and no other reason.
@Frizzurd - Success or failure depend upon what one's goals actually are, and nobody else knows what those goals are unless they are told. It's easy for consumers to assume that all movies, music, books, games, etc are commodities out there competing for everybody's attention and dollars - because that's more or less true of what is seen in the marketplace. What that view doesn't show is that most movies, music, books, games, etc are actually made by artists to realize their own vision and not made for others. Only like 5% of what people make ends up for sale.
14:00 there was a great streaming show a long time ago, PRE-REC, where Jay talked about making a cut of Space Cop using *only* the bad outtakes..damn i so want to see that, it would be a huge improvement :D
NGL, if I was going to get married in Hawaii and then it was canceled and the only other place I could get married was Vermont I think I’d call it all off too.
At one point I was afraid that Mike explaining his system of remembering which character's which would take up the rest of the episode, and at the end it would just abruptly cut to credits mid sentence
The climax is a direct ripoff of Scarface. Brother shoots sibling's lover in a fit of rage when he opens the door, and then the sibling accuses him of being incesty while half-naked. Needlessly to say, it was far more compelling when the seduction wasn't being done by a pudgy balding guy.
This might sound weird, but as a gay man, I love that they covered this. As a lover of film (and bad film), it's nice to be represented on RedLetterMedia (again, that might sound weird, but it's oddly normalizing that they'll lovingly tear apart and laugh at a bad gay movie all the same)!
You know these guys are prime jokers when I've been watching them for years and even though I knew they were probably kidding about the priest being John Williams, I still looked it up just to be sure

"I kind of like men now!" -Jay Bauman
We all like Jay though.
A fine addition to the gay jay playlist
Knowing that Rich Evans does the mail makes me really want to send RLM a letter now!
"mark summers wasn't IN summer SCHOOL so that's how you KNOW he's the double dare guy" Rich Evans you're a real one
"A picture of Jesus! I'd buy that for a dollar ... in a thrift store."
Jay Bauman.
I like how near the end this episode just becomes about how to steal from thrift stores!
"The gay equivalent of shark exorcist " there's just some things never expect to hear
NGL, if I was going to get married in Hawaii and then it was canceled and the only other place I could get married was Vermont I think I’d call it all off too.
Mike: "One cannot simply find a cross..."
*Gremlin immediately gives the side eye*
A as in “A toupée.”
That FedEx scene with Rich's laughter is pure gold 👌🏻.
At one point I was afraid that Mike explaining his system of remembering which character's which would take up the rest of the episode, and at the end it would just abruptly cut to credits mid sentence
The climax is a direct ripoff of Scarface. Brother shoots sibling's lover in a fit of rage when he opens the door, and then the sibling accuses him of being incesty while half-naked. Needlessly to say, it was far more compelling when the seduction wasn't being done by a pudgy balding guy.
It's honestly really nice that all of them don't care about the LGBTQ stuff,and that Mike even knows Episcopalians are chill.
This might sound weird, but as a gay man, I love that they covered this. As a lover of film (and bad film), it's nice to be represented on RedLetterMedia (again, that might sound weird, but it's oddly normalizing that they'll lovingly tear apart and laugh at a bad gay movie all the same)!
Pretty sure that gremlin is trying to hit on Rich Evans. can't blame him tho
You know these guys are prime jokers when I've been watching them for years and even though I knew they were probably kidding about the priest being John Williams, I still looked it up just to be sure
'Twinkerton Agency' is an underrated Mike pun.
UPLOADED WHILE I POO THANK YOU
@@trutwijd I said it was uploaded when I pooped. Doesnt mean I sat there watching for a whole hour 😂
Dont overpoo it
Never pooh pooh a pooh poer.
By the way, you can get those price stickers off really easily with a razor blade, they come off intact, and with enough adhesive to put on something else again
Or, use a lighter to warm the glue underneath for a smooth peeloff
Those alopecia jokes hit differently right now....
The gay friendly church idea was good until you remember that the main character runs a porno shop.
...or wants to run a Porno shop...does he run one, or it his dream? Why does he need the $2000?...
Did Jack do DMT? He was just sitting blazed out the whole time.
"Warshing" dishes. I heard that all the time growing up in Wisconsin. Love it.
This is the worst gay love story since that one about those two VCR repair men that review movies together
that one's my favourite!
Ha!
Is that the one where one of them wants to marry the guy whose VCR they're fixing?
What about the one about just a couple of songwriters trying to make it big in Ishtar?
Ah, you must mean Broke Hack Mountain?
I don't understand this word "folding table" they keep talking about. Do they mean folding chable?
You need to make Jesus your savor
@@dasboom7133 hahaha, I was just there

“This is slowly becoming a show where we watch porn.” Judging by that cover Rich was absolutely correct.
I mean it's been on the edge of that for years now, let's be real.
Ever since California Big Hunks Mike just can't get enough of shirtless men.
@@Eightsixseven23224 I would say "Don't you mean Jay?" but he was already on board before that.
I mean he’s not wrong: shark exorcist, California big hunks, how to seduce women through hypnosis...
@@stunner9005 Wheel of the worst double decker of Nudist video + Orgasmic Birth
Is Macauley ok? He just sat there the whole time and didn't say anything.
He’s just waiting to be called for leaving Neverland 2
That's "mister" Macauley, for you.
Now we know the end result of Jay's youth absorption!
Yea he's very quiet. Probably doesn't feel too well. He looks positively green.
He really did seem sick. Maybe they should have given him a glass of water. I would like to have seen more of him.
To my horror I repeatedly found myself thinking "Ben is the one who is NOT bald" while watching this
Me too 🤣
Ben = Bald NOT
Arthur = Alopecia
Its so simple and elegant
The crazy genius of Mike is that he is weirdly right. The least intuitive method sometimes makes it easier to remember.
Mike's mnemonic techniques are as nonsensical as Michael Scott's.
Jack is really quiet this discussion, he's so stunned he can only blink.
He's never looked better.
he's so *stoned he can only blink
@@gotaminutereviews so fun fact, Jack was hired to do some reshoots as a child for Gremlins 2.
Deagle Deagle Deagle.
Sober Jack has some horrible stage fright.
