Man, I really wish I could go back to the days of you guys microwaving stuff. You guys were my first sci/dangerous experiment channel. I just saw your comment on "We Didnt Start The Fire", and thought i'd check in. Glad to know you're still alive, and microwaving or not, i'll still enjoy this movienight episode.
great to see you still around! i remember looking on youtube to see if there was another episode of is it a good idea to microwave this so often. thanks for all the laughs and great to see you still got it
i may disagree with you on dune part 2, but the fact that you are willing to stick to your guns and say how you really feel about it knowing you are in the minority is why you are an amazing reviewer. Thank you so much for coming back!
First time in a very long time I've seen this channel name in my sub feed, good to see you again Jon, a longtime supporter of yours from waaay back when (as a kid, I remember the Microwave videos, so to say the least, this channel under a different name was part of my childhood). Hope all is well.
I got back from watching Dune Part 2 in 70mm format a few hours ago, that cinematography in that format is absolutely *chefs kiss*. Always great to see another Movie Night episode from ya, Jon!
@@Jogwheel Nice!! I don't know what your plans are for RUclips now that you're back, maybe it's just fun, but: You know your microwave series was one of the best on RUclips at the time. A few years after you ended it, MrBeast did a few microwaving videos himself that were some of his first "big" (100k+) hits. They were more like a whole season of what you did in one episode., or like your grand finale propane tank when he grilled a microwave. You shot the propane tank and he exploded the microwave LOL. In general his videos are much faster pace, taking only the best parts of content and scrapping the rest, which is a large part of his success. Maybe you can look at how he scaled to bigger fires and destruction, among other things and become really successful again like him. The standards for YT videos are different now but I think you could do that with the editing and effort you managed back in the day.
@@Jogwheel For 250M subs yeah you'd need that! 😂 But you hit 100k views all the time on super old RUclips, I think you could get back to that quickly and then do 1M+ now on a moderate budget and a reasonable amount of time! There is a lot more money in sponsorships nowadays too. A second person could go a long way too if you get Rory or someone to help. I started watching MrBeast around 7-8 years ago and he had over 100K but under 1M subs, and he literally reminded me so much of you back then with the microwaving videos and fires guns explosions. I know it probably won't happen but I would love to see you post and grow again you were one of my favorite RUclipsrs and the only one I watched with such breadth-comedy/action, gaming, and news/politics (I'm not a big movie guy but I did watch some movie nights too) Side nostalgia/rant: I remember you back as JPizzle1122 and as Jon. I remember wishing you'd collab with TRG being their 4th member for a game, leaving it as comments on both channels, so you'd have John and Jon and then my dream kind of came true much later when you were in their Mario tennis tournament! I still want to play earthbound because of you but it's too expensive without emulating. I liked your world according to Jon videos and in one of them in the comments is where I changed my views on gay people - previously I thought it was okay to not let them marry because it's the same rules for gay or straight. But I realized that it was sexist because only women were allowed to marry men and vice versa. You and TYT connected with my reasoning and views a lot as a kid.
You should check out every episode. Spray paint's a classic. Airbag is an amazing classic. The series finale, propane was awesome. All episodes were great. Even if they were "let downs", the humor was always lovely :) edit: Also psh. People asking for The Microwave Show to come back. When the magic was in "Don't eat the Spam". :P
I'm really glad you guys lived through the "Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This" era, and I would usually be a shitass on the internet and ask for more, but if you've built that into a media career, more power to you. I'll always want more roasted nuts content, but I have multiple seasons to go and rewatch and can be happy I got some good content and someone else got to make their dream happen. I wish you guys the best and I hope you guys know I genuinely think you guys were doing science (I mean 'do thing'-'see what happens'-'document results', is kinda the definition of science), also, you guys walked so a lot of "I'm gonna fuck around and find out" RUclips Channels could run. If you're young and haven't seen it, you should go check these guys out in their early years, the entire "Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This" series is fucking gold.
Duuuude it's been ages!! I'm so glad to see you're doing well, Jon! You were one of the first content creators I ever watched consistently back in my early high school days. Heard from a good pal of mine you're planning a comeback (Josh Jepson says hi 😂) I'm really excited to see what you have cooking for the future! Glad to see you again, old friend 🫡
This is my first time experiencing your channel and videos, and I gotta say off the bat that your scripting AND your speaking cadence oozes professionalism. This RUclips video feels like a segment you'd watch on Cable television at a premium, and not something given away for free on RUclips With all of that said, your summaries of all films so far are logical, open minded, and fair. I was hesitant to watch Jodorowsky's documentary for the exact reasons you've stated in that segment, but you've convinced me that it's worth an experience once at least. Definitely will be checking out more of your videos soon!
Great review(s)! I always enjoy your movie reviews! Now quick question that is not related to any Dune, what is the worst movie that you watched last year that you may be willing to do a movie night review of?
Hey, I just found you today on one of your science videos (cooking a toy dinosaur in a microwave) and now I notice you also do movie reviews. Way cool! This show is really well made. I can tell you put tons and tons of work into everything you do. I admire that. Truth be told, I'm passionate about a great many things but....I'm not sure if I can commit enough to make something of them other than just a little bit of fun. I loved the random footage of Mario in Tubular, that level everyone loves to hate from old-school Mario.
Good to see that you're still fresh when it comes to reviewing movies, including the famous Dune franchise. When it comes to suggestions, Jonathan, even though I remember hearing you're not a big fan of anime, I still believe you should cover movies from the iconic Studio Ghibli as even if you're not a fan of the Japanese animation style, they're still really great movies with beautiful animation and captivating stories, whether it be Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind to their more recent entry, The Boy and the Heron.
The one big issue I have is Villeneuve's first Dune movie attitude to "the movie is designed for IMAX". Sure I get going for the best possible quality will give the best quality movie for the people who has the option to see it on IMAX. But at the same time it feels and more specifically sound, like it is specifically made sound unintelligible for people who aren't able to see it in any other way tan a laptop screen. There's no reason why every dialogue, full of dense lore should be whispered in stead of spoken out. Luckily part two so a lot better in terms of articulation.
I consider Dune (1984) to be a guilty pleasure of mine. It’s technically not good but it’s so quotable and goofy that I have a lot of fun with it, plus it has an incredible cast and soundtrack by TOTO
It's easily the most interesting. It's just taking huge risks in every part of the production. Having now immersed myself in Dune all week, I'm tempted to watch the 3 hr extended cut of the 1984 version, and see how it compares. Should be easier to follow since I know the story so well now.
In a world where film reviews have basically become hate-watch fueled shitposting, the nuanced, reasonable, and well articulated critiques of Jon Paula are a sight for very sore eyes. Welcome back buddy, I missed ya.
@@Jogwheel that’s great because I been thinking about you guys 🙂 . I will I will get to see them in a video one day 🙂. I been rewatching your old videos .
Thanks for your review and opinion on Dune 2... I totally agree with you! Now I know I'm not the only one 😉 The feeling of some scenes dragged along, the "deus ex machina" moments plus another, even more "villainous villain" (which are both to blame on the book, as I know now)... I'd have a hard time if I had to chose between a 7 or an 8 on your scale.
What's your take on The Marvels? I just watched it last night & while I can see how certain people might have problems with it, I enjoyed it. The singing planet was a bit ridiculous but 10/10 otherwise.
@@Jogwheel Don't worry about what I think - work on what makes you happy and gets the views. But if you really wanna know - Don't Eat The Spam & Oscar mass reviews.
Come to think of it, I think you should do an entire Godzilla episode focusing on 3 of the Japanese films: Minus One, Shin Godzilla, and the original. Is that possible?
@@johnheed8933 seems too small, honestly! I love the idea, but I'll probably go bigger with it. Reviewing all of the new Monster Universe films, or a bunch of different Godzilla movies. 1954 vs 1998 vs 2014 vs 2023 seems like a good place to start.
@@Jogwheel I like your idea so much more than mine. I'm glad you thought about it. Just so long as you include the original and Minus One, than I'm happy.
@@Jogwheel yes it is better. It takes the tv version and deleted scenes to make a version of the film much closer to the books and its on youtube I think.

But seriously, it's great to see you making videos again.
Always a good day for Movie Night.
That intro was great! 🤣 subscribed.
Wasnt expecting to see this still uploading.. i was here in the "is it a good idea to microwave this" days.
I hope you'll check out the Children of Dune miniseries at some point, it's a solid adaptation of the second and third book. Worth a watch!
I probably will!
Weve come a LOOONG way from microwaving batteries

After Everything!

And don't worry, I already have plans to do a part IV of my "worst movies of all time" series 👍🤣
Welcome back, Jon.
Wow! What a blast from the past! Im so glad you are back Jon! You look so handsome now! Welcome back!
Thanks! I did a new video last week too!
Seeing how this year marks the 40th anniversary of the franchise, any chance we’ll see a review of the Transformers movies?
Not a terrible idea! I do need to catch up on those films...
@@Jogwheel, same, at least as far as Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts.
What do we think about Dune 3 👀👀👀

@Jogwheel awesome. Can't wait to see it. When it comes to favorite Ghibli movie, I would say Nausicaa and When Marnie was There
Riding the Old Fathers is both a rite of passage & a regular occurrence for the Fremen.
... which you wouldn't know from watching Lynch’s version!
I know the microwave show isn't returning, but will we ever see another special? It's been nearly 10 years (somehow?) since the last one.
Maybe!
