Half in the Bag: Everything Everywhere All At Once

- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Mike and Jay take a break in between fixing Mr. Plinkett's VCR to review a movie that came out 3 years ago: Everything Everywhere All At Once! I hope everyone has had the chance to finally see this film! WARNING: Video may contain coarse language, smoking, drug use, and Mike talking about Star Trek: The Next Generation.
I love how Jay says if he’s really interested in a movie he doesn’t watch the trailer, and Mike then describes said trailer in detail.
And at the end of it he sounded more interested in it.
Me too
everyone does things differently. guys.
Yes my cousin & I are like this I don't want to know anything & he wants to describe the whole thing. 😑
I mean the movies been out since feb. and he hasnt seen it so he needed some motivation! lol
After receiving very few opportunities for acting as an Asian man in the 1990s, Ke Huy Quan got a film degree from USC and had a successful career in production. He was a fight choreographer and worked as assistant director for Wong Kar Wai. After seeing the success and acceptance for Crazy Rich Asians, he was inspired to return to acting.
I'm so glad he came back, he nailed this role.
Apparently he did a lot of intense training to get back in top shape for this role too.
I'm small, you lie very big.
No wonder he absolutely nailed the Wong Kar Wai homage cos he obviously knows how his characters act cos he was there
I met him as a translator on a Jackie Chan movie.
My favorite part of this movie was seeing Jamie Lee Curtis's desk and asking to myself "Are those... butt plugs?" and then later it happened.
Pretty sneaky profile picture there, spam bot
Me too because we have those in our house lol Award for best Butt is a Plug
The screening I was in (opening week) was packed and about 1/4 of the crowd snickered at the design of those trophies. The other 75% didn't get the joke until...well...yeah. Then.
Checkov's butt plugs.
Checkov’s butt plugs.
Mike has taught me that if something exists, it copied Star Trek.
Everything i know about life, i learned from Star Trek.
It's not about family, it's about Star Trek.
That's how I learned how to boof my beer. My favorite Data episode.
I’m here to kick ass and chew Star Trek: Deep Space Nine…and I’m all out of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
@@brucewayne79 And Ghost Adventures.
Mike's exceptional ability to role-play as a confused elderly man beyond his time is so captivating.
yeah role-play haha
What do you mean "role-play"
Damn it, this community is too much in sync. Was just about to comment the same thing as the 2 previous comments
@@CaptainTitforce Me too XD
Is elderly man replacing mike?
If Rich Evans was in this movie, all his mispronounced words would gain him so many new universes
I think Rich’s ol’ “Taskbar! Flashbar! Wama wama!” bit might not have worked out too well under this particular lens.
A universe of Folding Chables
The rated x dick the birthday boy would be a dark universe
Release the Evansverse cut!
Rich Evans and Evelyn from this movie are equal in their English speaking abilities
Apparently Ke Huy Quan was interested in coming back to acting from his 20 year hiatus, because of Crazy Rich Asians. He realized there might be more than one dimensional roles for Asians in Hollywood now. I think he was phenomenal. The heart of the story for sure.
Yep, I think he underestimates his fan base, its a shame he's been absent all these years, maybe the Hollywood machine will start casting him in some interesting roles
Which is especially interesting because apparently some of the actors in CRA wanted to become actors only after they saw short round in indiana jones as children and he was one of the first lead asian roles they likely consumed. Really closes the circle
@@rocketGimbal what a wonderful insight!
He absolutely stole the show
He was exceptional and deserved his Oscar win. The role REALLY played to his lovability.
Joy's actress must have gotten a hell of an actor's reel from this film. Those outfits were fantastic.
Sadly her performance was the only low point in the film for me. She emoted way too much even when the scenes didnt call for it. More often than not she was incapable to find the proper balance between overacting for comedic purposes and just plain overacting due to lack of experience/ability. The only scenes where I actually bought her acting were the last 10 minutes or so, straight after the climax.
@@Ramekink what the fuck are you smoking LOL
@@Ramekink disagree she was great all throughout. A bad performance takes me out of a movie but this ain't it.
@@Ramekink The Oscar committee disagrees with you
@@Ramekink it's like comparable to Japanese anime voice acting, where there's a lot of "over throwing" yourself into it, I'll just call it acting vomit. It's not bad acting
Glad to learn Carrie Fisher’s dog is doing well. This is the kind of insight you get from RLM that you can’t get anywhere else.
Good point!
no shade against Fisher, but being besides that woman all the time must be taxing. I hope he is enjoying retirement
I used to watch/follow Fox's "Scream Queens" sometime around 2016. Billie Lourd was in it. That's how I found out Gary was adopted by her daughter after Carrie's death.
Why does no one know he lives with Corby McCoin. Her daughter didnt want the dog so hes been with the assistant and they have an insta page thing lol
@@eldenringer6466 wow ty for the info.
This was the most half-assed attempt at a Plinkett storyline I've ever seen. Keep up the good work.
Well, you can't do everything everywhere all at once.
I know right! Feels weird to see them put in so much effort
Hack frauds, the lot of them!
No! I demand an ASS reduction to 1/4 Ass immediately!
Honestly the fact that Mike doesn't want to spoil *anything* about the story arcs of the characters shows how much he enjoyed it. Cause those arcs go surprisingly deep.
Yeah, but then they show an emotional montage from the film during part of the climax of the film. I just didn't understand why. He explained it fine.
There's something off with this review I was so excited for them to review this movie and they did nothing with it LOL it was okay but it was good performance like no mention of 38 days 25 million dollar budget five special effects people but they'll go into autistic detail about a movie they hate with notes I got notes I got no where's the notes where's the notes guys?
I think Mike really enjoyed it, and Jay seems to be the sour one. I think this style of movie is right up their alley and I think this is what their personal projects wanted to be. Shit, when I watched this movie my first reaction was 'I wish I made this movie.'
@@MegaMan-bs3oy this is really hurting you, isn't it
@@wonderwondertwins I have no desire to make movies and I thought the same thing lol
To me the movie is not about family, but suicide. Being unmoored and bombarded by the absurdity and randomness of existence can make you want to enter that bagel void, and the movie posits a way out, not in family necessarily (though that helps) but in latching onto the small moments of joy and connection and being open to them. The struggle to pull a loved one out of walking into that void really hit me emotionally in this film.
I was thinking the everything bagel void was a euphemism for suicide too. I for sure thought Mike and Jay would mention it :/
Same. I thought Joy's nihilism was just edgy teen stuff, but towards the end it became clear it was much deeper and darker than that. And then the climax to the final fight with the bagel really enhanced the theme I felt that the mother is literally trying to save her daughter from ending her own life. At least that's what I got out of that sequence.
It's about family. And that's what's so powerful about it.
I think the whole movie is indeed about family and the choises that lead you up to this very moment, but suicide and generational trauma are the themes for Joy's character and overall arc.
very much about sinking into depression/suicide, and how far a mother will go to pull her daughter out of it. extraordinarily emotional, especially if you've been through it. also an argument to be made that it's about the immigrant experience -- this enormous decision you make that sets the course of the entire rest of your life, and the inevitable let down when it "the American dream" doesn't deliver. or just the idea that "somewhere else" will somehow be a fresh start, that you'll be new, and in fact you're the same. honestly even an argument to be made it's about cinema itself. it really is about everything everywhere all at once lol
When Mike immediately talks about Star Trek with a movie, you know its a certified masterpiece.
I liked a lot about the Parallels episode too aside from the romance of the week. Just seeing Riker so broken in a lost universe makes the Borg more terrifying.
@@kerred When the editor box said "we're talking about the worst TNG episode" I was wondering how Sub Rosa would fit into the review.
I’m surprised he doesn’t do it all the time. With how many episodes exist, he has to be able to compare every movie to some Star Trek plot
Like when I compare anything to Evangelion.
@@peanut983 Sad thing really. His senile dementia shows more and more as he loosens the ability to recall Star Trek references
Looking forward to the prequel "Something Sometimes In a Short Span of Time" starring Rich Evans.
Nothing, nowhere, for eternity
that's what she said
"So Dense, Every Single Frame, So Much Going On" starring Rick Berman
Peepee, poopoo, all the fart.
sounds like a minty skit
I love how Mike edited a "click here" button to skip his rant about TNG that doesn't work so we know how Jay feels everyday
I love how it was LCARS themed
@@hazyhalfmoon 40:14
If the word “family” is mentioned
The sleeping agent inside jay and mike is activated which makes them rant about Carrie Fisher’s behind the scenes interview
The Fisheriaun Candidate. Very real!
I hope that every half in the bag from here on out starts with Mike describing a trailer to Jay.
A trailer that ISNT for the movie they're talking about
But then it loses its lustre .
I hope that every half in the bag from here on out starts with Mike describing a Star Trek episode to Jay
could be a new show
One Quarter in the Bag
@@Thanatos2k always has been 🔫
This one's for Jay; There was an article that they took Carrie's dog to the final premiere and apparently it recognised her voice.
Aw 😭
Why'd you have to tell me this
Where is this article. I'd like to read it even if it is a small one
I think this is one of the few movies that is benefited by the cinema-going experience with an audience. Like during the climax I can literally hear the middle-aged guy sitting next to me choking up. And during the rock scene the theater was DEAD SILENT. Not a single cough. I have never seen an audience this captivated by what is essentially a silent movie scene reading words on the screen without getting bored, in this era no less.
So it's not just about family, it's also about human connections and empathy.
you're 100% dead on. Them watching it on demand at home isn't the same. I saw it three times in theaters and every time the audience, at certain points, seemed collectively overwhelmed (in a good way) as the movie began to build to a crescendo. Like you said, I've never seen a movie audience go that silent. People were enthralled. Lots of belly laughing and crying at all three screenings I was at.
I started crying when they were showing all the googly eyes Waymond had put on objects around their house and business. (Not the first time they showed it though near the beginning, it was more in the middle of the movie). It was just something about seeing how optimistic and happy he seemed with Evelyn, while at that point she was thinking she'd be happier without him in the other universes she saw. The last time I cried at a movie was when I was a kid and I saw that American Hachiko movie because Hachiko the dog dies at the end lol.
@@miseryfell6417 yeah this movie made me extremely emotional all three times I saw it. I just bought the 4Kblu ray and plan to watch it this weekend. The first viewing overwhelmed just because of the spectacle of it all. The second time the relationship between the parents is what got me. The third time it was the mother/daughter relationship. Brilliant and beautiful movie.
I literally just posted something like this before reading your comment. I guess if it doesn’t hit your emotion center and make you fall to pieces, then the magic trick doesn’t work. Which was the case for mike and jay.
@@michaelmurphy8394 I want to own it asap but I'm holding out for the inevitable Criterion release
Glad to see that Redlettermedia is finally reviewing Jurassic World: Dominion.
AMEN BROTHER 🙏
About as long as the "half in the bag" wait for the new Dune movie
It's not that bad
@@PunishedGrickle At least we got a Re: View
It's di-no-mite!
"If it's a movie I'm interested in, I won't even watch the trailer" -- I totally agree with Jay here, if it's something I've already decided to watch then seeing the trailer will just spoil one or more plot points. Better to not watch it and keep everything as a surprise.
SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE:
One scene I never see talked about is the very beginning: we see the family happy, enjoying family time, singing in the karaoke machine. The scene then smash cuts to another time frame and that's when we see the stress of Evelyn's life. At the IRS Jamie Lee Curtis' character asks about one specific item: the karaoke machine. Which we know from the beginning was something that brought the family together. I don't have many more thoughts about that scene, but its something that I noticed that I rarely see people talk about in reviews or even just talking about with friends who have seen the movie.
Yeah there's a lot of little details. Like it took me a minute to realize Jamie Lee Curtis circling their tax forms with that big black circle was supposed to reference the big evil bagel black hole thing.
@Yokainami Animates Yeah there wasn’t really a question just something i personally noticed that i never see get brought up. But your right about how she puts the one thing that brought them together at stake. That’s also the moment (if i’m remembering correctly) that she decides to finally try to connect with the multiverse, which leads into the whole movie.
If you track the life of the karaoke machine, it gets destroyed when Evelyn is losing hope. Right before she smashes the window of the laundromat.
I just now remembered that I was late on the showing, and never seen this
There is actually a flier for voice lessons taught by Evelyn shown in the first scene in the laundromat. This is the seed for the professional singer alternate version.
Honestly, I'm a little surprised that they didn't address how small the effects team was for this movie (I think 5 people?). In addition to being a artistic success that crossed into the mainstream, it's also a triumph of diy cinema.
5 people for 80% of the film, then I believe they brought on about 4 more people around the finish line. There’s a great interview where they discussed all the ways they ‘saved’ on VFX - e.g. they only did one render of the Everything Bagel (before it collapses), it was just composited/framed in new ways every time to keep people from noticing.
Why didn't Mike and Jay mention that like this whole video felt off like they didn't do diligence for s*** they're going to autistic detail about a MCU movie they hate and talk about every detail about it but a good movie they just say it was a little long bye everybody it's starting to get on my nerves how they'll go into cringe detail about a movie they hate with a passion but it's an actual Good original concept movie and they just go it was a little long
@@MegaMan-bs3oy Given the extent to which you're obsessing over this, maybe you should lay off the "autistic" jabs. ;)
@@MegaMan-bs3oy You're kind of finally understanding the redlettermedia formula. You will be severely disappointed if you think these guys actually give a shit about good movies.
@@MegaMan-bs3oy a good movie is a good movie. there's not much more to say about it than that, you just have to watch the film and appreciate it. It's much, much more interesting to rag on and deconstruct these ridiculous billion-dollar productions made by 15,000 people because when they fail, they have no excuse.
I really thought it was genius when the plot reached its apex... and stuff was going crazy... the rock scene happened. And it was like the film makers said.. "take a break, you've earned it!" I physically exhaled at that scene. Good things!
I completely agree! I was starting to get overwhelmed, but wasn't even aware of it until that scene. I can't think of a single scene in any other movie where I consciously felt the timing was absolutely perfect like I did here.
thank you!!! best scene of the movie!
director went like, there's too much crazy things happening, here's a calm scene so you can cry like bitch in the middle of the theater
It came a little too late for me
@@AdaptiveApeHybrid so sad to hear it :(
The Racocoonie revelation killed me, It started as a joke where you usually know boomers say the wrong names of a movie, but the fact it was an actual multiverse with a very unconvincing prop was hilarious.
Conceived as a mistake by Evelyn's character. A by product of her own Mandela effect.
The Racocoonieverse always existed, just like every other one of the infinite universes, Evelyn making that mistake simply connected her to it. Loved that, only really clicked on the second watch.
It’s funny how the prop is so unconvincing despite it being an actual taxidermy’d raccoon haha
@@vincentj.9057 Nah the directors said it's supposed to look like taxidermy without actually being one
*boomers... who really uses that word?
What’s funny is during the review for The Wolverine, Mike talks about how he wants to see a Batman movie where he’s investigating corruption within the city and not fighting a giant robot or villain at the end. Now he refuses to watch it.
the ending kind of completely shits the bed in that regard, IMHO. they dump all the prior detective stuff in order to have a Big Explosion Stadium Climax with Riddler Goons
fuck batman
I found the detective stuff to be incredibly mediocre. Especially the scene where they exposition dump with the penguin.
the batman was not a detective movie cant stand that people try and say that, it was no more a detective movie than any of the nolan movies
@@Isaacandjed God, if only they didn’t do the whole flooding the city thing and just had the assassination attempt with the Riddler goons, but I guess that’ll make the ending “too” real
Man, I'm so happy you guys are still going after all these years. You haven't changed your formula at all since I started watching in 2015, and somehow it hasn't become boring or tired. Even though you're literally doing the same thing over and over and over again. Somehow, it's always interesting, always funny, and you have a hell of a lot of integrity. All of that just seems so rare nowadays on RUclips.
So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you guys for continuing to do this.
It kinda reminds me of an episode of _Star Trek: The Next Generation._
My favorite character was the husband. Dude was adorbs. Also love his arc.
'You think I'm weak? Well, this is how I fight.'
It means a lot to me because, people tend to see kindness as weakness.
Agree, was a beautiful moment.
I only recently realised it's the same guy who played Short Round in Temple of Doom and Data in the Goonies - it's brilliant to see him again ✨
@@WaspCameraInSpringfield My favorite part was when Luke Skywalker died by the hand of Jimmy Mcgill.
@@WaspCameraInSpringfield That was a good scene.
Also, when Beavis & Butthead finally score was also a good scene.
@@TwelvetreeZ As recently as having Mike and Jay tell it to you in this video?
Finally, I've been waiting for the Batman review for ages!
The Batman review is everywhere, all at once
Their review of The Batman took 12 years to make
You get to see Mike and Jay grow up right before your eyes!
I hope they never talk about a superhero movie ever again
I’m still waiting on Uncut Gems.
I moved across the US away from my immediate family, and after my partner and I watched this movie, my mom and coincidentally texted me asking how I was doing. I had to call her, sobbing. This movie grabs me by a choke-hold every single time.
I think Jay's right: The movie is intentionally overbearing. It was definitely intended to be intense, frenetic, and an assault on your senses at many points. Especially so they could suddenly contrast that with some calm, quiet parts.
I honestly thought that was a genius choice
It's kinda your only choice, otherwise some(or most) of the audience wouldn't take notice.
Still too long.
@@connielingus8385 either you're trolling or I don't know go watch tiktok videos bro cuz I actually want to see a good movie that's got good length to it and I enjoy every second of it not an hour and a half Thor movie. Has people's brains devolved it seems like 90 minutes and you start fidgeting and your f****** see it don't go watch it never go watch a movie that's over 90 minutes again ever 5 hour dark night rises special edition cut never before unseen footage don't go watch it you'll start fidgeting and foaming at the mouth 90 minutes in
Yeah. To make you feel the overwhelming sensory overload of everything. And to a lesser degree to help put you in the shoes of Evelyn and her daughter
When Jay said "Patton Oswalt will do anything." I was expecting it to cut to Patton dressed as Jay, saying "He really will do anything."
That would have been amazing
He'll even kill his own wife!
Can you please be a writer? That is such a good joke
I'm surprised they didn't show a still frame from Space Cop
Lmao
I really enjoy the push-pull of both Jay and Mike having slightly different tolerances and interests and tastes. It gives a much more rounded review, not simply in a "oh I hate it"/"oh I love it" but a "this was too blunt"/"ehhh I thought it was helpful" way that lets me know not only the large quality of the movie but the textures too. It's fun. I appreciate it.
"This movie is so good, it even gave Half In The Bag additional depth"
Review shows should have people with different perspectives and opinions. It really helps you get a feel for the movie and see it from different perspectives.
Well said!
Shame RLM is pandering to the masses by reviewing movies like this, not giving the spotlight to creative films like Minions Rise of Gru
If I don't see Rich react to the pre-pre-released leaked teaser trailer for the official teaser for Minions: Into the Morbiverse (2023), I'm going to unsubscribe.
Aint no genz tiktoksrs here, wrong crowd
Lol! What a maroon.
Hack frauds!
"What's you're name?"
"Rey...Rey Gru"
Jay is drinking water? This is how you tell they're from a different universe.
It's vodka. He just watched the Batman, but doesn't want to fess up.
Large Hadron Collider going online again this Tuesday really did a number on him
Oh, you're new to this Universe? Welcome!
I wonder if that was the joke and they were doing like in the movie by telling the audience but still letting us figure it out.
Hack frauds
Jay needs to get a Letterboxd account so we can see lists of his favorite films that can't all be realistically given their own episode.
I feel like if Jay started a Letterboxd, he would crash the site with the amount of movies he would have to retroactively log.
Oh God no
10:03 about Short Round, he talked about how as an asian actor, it was extremely difficult to get work acting, after so many years he got an agent again and in 2 weeks got an audition for the movie since it was about asian actors, he was so thrilled and the subject matter of it being an asian family made him fall in love with the script even more.
11:14 Mike has zero clue what string theory is but deserves props on the confident delivery
Its about family.
@@shugaroony that's what so stringy about it
Yeah it’s so hard for people to grasp because they don’t get that the unifying force is actually family. Superstring Theory is actually short for Superfambily Stringy Theory.
I’m glad there are people here who actually know that.
lol yeah, I wonder if someone put that misconception in his head of what string theory is, or if he just got mixed up. I'm gonna blame Rich by default.
@@shugaroony And that's what's so powerful about it.
Jay: “Patton Oswalt will do anything.”
Mike: “Yeah, I know!” *laughs in Space Cop*
Something I'm surprised you didn't bring up: they did a lot of practical effects, which is also a breath of fresh air. It was mostly a result of economic necessity, but it's nice to have a movie that doesn't rely so heavily on CGI, especially for a movie so sci-fi-heavy.
I think the problem with modern movies and CGI are Marvel movies. They are pumped out so fast and so frequently that the VFX artists don’t have time to make the effects look believable, there are still movies releasing today that have great VFX in them.
Also the special effects team was just 5 people. You can see all of them in a freeze-frame where one of the universe's Evelyn is in a Zoom call with all 5 of them
@@CoolDude-ts2hc And _further,_ none of them were professionals and I think they learned how to do the effects from RUclips. I don't remember where I saw that, but I think it was on RUclips? :)
Thanks, this comment convinced me to watch it tonight..
Also, the many, many fight-scenes were incredible. The two lead stars are action movie veterans. Ke Huy Quan has spend his decade off-screen as a stunt coordinator. Apparently he a lot of intense training to get back in top shape for this role. Then they also hired a young stunt team who are well-know for doing impressive work on a tiny budget.
"Data's painting is making me dizzy" is one of the best moments in TV history
"I thought it was a painting of his android-cloned daughter, and I got this wave of nausea...."
i don't know
As a Hong Konger with mixed cultural heritage, this movie DESTROYED ME emotionally because it hit all the right points and moments I've experienced and struggled with, down to the very lines and tone "you're getting fat, you need to eat less" = hk mom way of saying I love you, the underlying homophobia our parents are only starting to be able to accept, having "no time" etc etc... it was like watching my life all over again with different circumstances and from the perspective of a mom that learns to actually unconditionally love her daughter.
I cried so bad, and what made it worse is that I went to see it with an acquaintance, who was confused since he's from shanghai and didn't quite relate as strongly.
Just get over confucianism already, it's not rocket science.
Specially loved the contrast of experiences of the 3 generations.
But it isn't simply a matter of telling someone to get over Confucius values. It was a parental style used by parents to raise you. You may not recognize the problem because you live with it. You may not know your parents are acting controlling as a reflection of their values rooted in the guy. This is a rare American movie that gives some Asian Americans the chance to see what they grew up with, represented on a popular movie, and given time to reflect on it.
This movie wasn't perfect, but I had a better experience with it than I've had with any other movie for YEARS.
You need to watch more movies, then.

Same, the actor killed it. He was fucking hilarious, I wanted to see more of him and raccooni
I finally watched this last week and I enjoyed it so much more than I expected. It has such an incredibly strong emotional core, but it also does comedy and action so well. Pretty rare to see a movie pull all of those things off together
Please never lose contempt for your audience.
3rd act was perfect. Having a big bombastic ending would've been fun as a movie, but the slow, awful reality of family drama coming out in public and needing real conversations to resolve their feelings felt more earnest as something I'll think about beyond, "that was a cool scene".
The pacing was pretty awful. We got the point after the first time and the fact that joke universes are played for drama kinda detracted from that. It needed a lot of editing down. It was messy though and I do get that point though
@@laserbeamlightning i don't get why some people are so anxious to jump out of their seats after 90 minutes. the pacing was fine. you just don't like to linger on this type of story. that's okay. maybe it's just not for you.
@@cornoc I've enjoyed longer movies, and I'm fine with a slow family drama. Cutting back to hotdog fingers and raccaccoonie twenty times in the midst of resolving that family drama is bad pacing and doesn't service the story.

She wasn't misremembering Raccacooie, it was a memory that slipped from another universe, and i found that to be amazing
"Maybe if I was 20 it would be my favorite movie" the was a punch to the stomach
Sorry but I agree to that statement. You’ve got a nice theme but with too many gags. Eye rolling humor
I think it also has to do with this generation's sense of humor. Its not only "lol random" it's just absurdist af. Because in a way that's how we are dealing with our issues irl, just finding humor in anywhere and everywhere.
That’s probably why for an A24 film it’s so popular on the internet and why it actually made money at the box office
Where is the lie though?
@@democrrrracymanifest sorry I have not watched Family Guy. I thought their humor was more edgy for the sake of edgy?

Jay is my favorite character
They’re coworkers, Jay is acting this way because it his job
Ultimately, it's about *family.*
Interesting, I actually disagree on their point of the "too many endings" because the first couple endings were very hollywood concise endings, but they keep going and actually parallel each other like a short film unto itself into something that actually felt like it had purpose which I thought was really cool but maybe thats just me.
I love the last scene in particular so much, where the cacophony starts to creep back in and it's not an entirely resolved and upbeat ending. It's very relatable for people with ADHD.
I agree with you. The movie is "too long" but it needs to be to do what it wants to do.
@@TheBigYC I think the movie works just fine if they start resolving universes without milking them dry. We didn't need to go back to the raccoon gag 15 times.
@@Ayoul Yeah I remember going "not the hotdog fingers AGAIN" in my head near the end which was a shame. But still an amazing movie experience and perhaps I'll change my opinion on the ending if I see it again (which I actually want to do).
Also me, I agree on this
"Maybe if I was 20 when I watched this, it would be my favorite movie." As a 22 year old who loved this movie, I've never felt more called out like the hack fraud I am.
I really love that this movie is everything these soulless million dollar messes pretend they are/want to be. But actually done well, with a lot of heart.
When it comes to these big soulless ones as you put it, all they care about is bragging about how it's the top grossing something or other or how it made a billion dollars or close to it. It doesn't matter what people say after they spend their money on it, and while I do understand it, it's always nice to hear about something that genuinely had good word of mouth help it rather than the security of being franchise material being why it did so well.
The random stuff worked because they didn’t just scream “lol random” and leave it at that. They ran with every idea they put on screen.
@S V I think whether you find the movie funny is subjective, nobody is saying the humour isn't silly and childish, what people are saying is almost every one of those gags runs into an emotional climax that expands the themes of the movie. A lot of the emotionality links to how stupid the humour is too, Waymond is constantly playing little jokes and placing googly eyes on everything in the laundromat, Evelyn is critical of this and tells him to stop, life is serious and stressful. In the end, she embraces the ridiculousness of everything and learns to live in the moment snd appreciate what she has instead of focusing on the vastness and pain of everything and collapsing in the centre.
Also I think it makes it an easier watch, having seen it three times I think my favourite moment everytime I'm watching is after Tobacky shows Evelyn "everything", it all stops and they become rocks with googly eyes and start speaking in subtitles. Its a really tender scene but everytime I see that theres this sort of delayed laughter from the audience as people get the chance to process what they've seen. I think if there wasn't that ridiculousness in the film it would be a more stressful watch, which I'm not totally against but I also don't think it would be anywhere near as beloved.
Yeah i definitely felt it was all "lol random XD"... hahah a bagel amirite guys? Like i get its a lighthearted movie that doesnt take itself too seriously but this whole concept and script was just kinda dumb in my eyes.

The fact that Morbius still grossed more than this is a sin.

Why?
Cue CinemaSins ding sound.
That’s Morbin’ time
I'd assume lower budget tho, so probably fine?
Although funnily enough, despite that fact, this movie probably made more of a profit than Morbius lol, because who knows how much Sony dumped into marketing
The movie is only about choice on the surface level, ultimately its more about being optimistic and loving the moments you have EVEN in the world where you made all the wrong choices and are stuck working a dead end job.
Also the part where Jay was concerned about Carrie Fisher's dog was genuinely sweet and wholesome and bought some much needed humanity to his character.
Because it was about a dog, not a cat. Dogs are part of the family.
Mike looks like he is literally 2 months to live. Jay looks better than ever. I'm not implying that Jay is a vampire and feeding off of Mike. I am, however, inferring it.

Pretty ambitious of you to review everything everywhere all at once.
34:00 I understand their critique here, but I also really like that the film’s big emotional catharsis is in a very grounded scenario. It’s a lot gentler of an ending than expected, and it honestly makes the movie for me
Also the Everything Bagel *is* goofy, but I love it just for the way it makes a yin/yang with the googly eye. Really tight visual language 🔲🔳🔲🔳🔲
It might be all in her head during a psychosis while trashing the laundry shop
@@scruffmutt Agreed, the whole movie is about cushioning from the harsh reality with goofy unreality. You're good with your feet because your hands have hot dog fingers; you can consider the nihilism of staring into a void and seeing that no matter what choices anyone makes there will be suffering because you learned that from a bagel. Sure it could have been a universe where we just didn't have hands or it could have just been an orb that allows you to see spacetime, but the idea is that every good thing leads to a bad thing that leads to a good thing, ad infinitum. The life already brings us sadness, which is all the more reason we have to actively fill it with happiness. Jobu put everything on a bagel, but Evelyn (thanks to Waymond) was able to realize under all the everything, there's a bagel.
I also like that they could be talking anywhere, but they are in that parking lot because in the end, it's the fact they are together that matters, and it's that life they are fighting for, it's not their newfound super hero existence.
I actually ended up bailing on the movie, stopped two thirds of the way in. The whole 'lol so random' humor got really obnoxious, the constant establishing of different worlds and the very obvious moral framing overstayed their welcome, also there was something off about the martial arts for some reason. Cool that a movie like this is popular tho, power to em.

It was only $25 million, which is mid-low budget. They accomplished this by having a tiny special effects team (like five people) who hadn't worked in the field before and taught themself via RUclips tutorials.

@The Artful Dodger no, they trash movies appropriately. I just know that to them there’s basically no such thing as a perfect movie, and I thought this was perfect. So they were bound to point out the flaws that I miss.
I love RLM. Top 5 channel
i have mixed feelings about the “lol random” humor but i do admire how the movie consistently delivers on introducing totally absurd concepts and giving them each a full emotional arc. i didn’t feel like the absurdity undercut the impact.
That was the point of the absurdity as well.
This. Having that balance is difficult, but the movie pulls it off. And I love googley eyes now. And pet rocks. Art is powerful.
I can understand that, because they do go to some deeply stupid places. But I think that's why the movie can pull off its high concept, to be honest. Highbrow humor requires you to think and process, but the movie already asks you to do that for its more important, heavy themes. So it punctuates with lowbrow humor instead, so you can just get the little bit of catharsis from the "what the fuck" moments as a little reprieve from having to process the bigger picture. It's the same way they balance large sections of constant sensory overload with scenes where everything just goes quiet and still for a while. The problem being that different people have different tolerances; how fast is too fast, how low is too low. I think they found the sweet spot for me personally, and they aimed for the best split they could, but I think they knew going in that it was gonna be too far in one direction or another for some people, and that's okay. That said I think if their balance tipped anywhere it wouldn't have been between okay and great, but rather a resounding "ugh" across the board.
the randomness is a staple of absurdist art. It is about accepting that life is meaningless and chaotic, and embracing that; I think the best way that artists have found to portray that is with utterly absurd ideas being used as part of a deeply emotional story. I don’t like “lolrandom” humor for the sake of it, but I think absurdist humor being used to discuss philosophy is hilarious and uniquely human. This movie is a prime example of that; the X-Statix comic books are also quite good in similar ways imo (I bring them up because I’m currently reading through them right now)
I love the absurdity. Never thought a scene with 2 rocks talking to each other could be so riveting.
The Hot Dog universe really worked for me. They introduced it as the absolute most worthless universe for what seemed like a mere visual gag, even more ridiculous by having Evelyn be in a relationship with Deirdre, because, you might as well right? But later on this is actually used to make a statement about both human relationships and self worth, where Evelyn uses her newfound skill of compassion and understanding to win over the least relatable character in the film, by using her 'skills' from such a weak version of herself.
It's those setups and payoffs that make the film all work so well. Evelyn wins not just by taking skills from her alternative selves, but by understanding those around her and giving them the comfort they need, by using googly eyes representing the way her husband sees the world. Itself a teeny gag that (albeit used a lot in promotional material), further showing how little attention was given to the husband and his apparent weakness.
It also was a perfect example of how even in an absurd universe, there can still be meaning. Which the hotdog universe *obviously* is absurd, but to anyone who's had an existential crisis, the more mundane "real" world is equally absurd. So when we can see there is even meaning in a "lolsorandumb", completely absurd world, we can see there can be meaning in our own absurd world. The way they made characters you disliked, or even characters who at first seemed to not have any real character at first (Raccacouille guy), but shows you that they have lives, feelings, hopes, desires, love, etc, and made you feel empathy for them even in really ridiculous circumstances, was really touching.
So while the humor of the absurd situations might be too ridiculous for some to laugh at, I think it still was necessary to really push the optimistic absurdism idea behind the film.
@@storploin3860 Aye! After all, the film could feel preachy (you just have to believe in yourself!) or nihilistic (nothing matters...) without its heavy use of humor. It doesn't have to be funny. But it helps say 'it's ok'. From our friends and family to aspirations and life itself, nothing is everlasting, sacred or ideal, and we should make peace with that.
Else we'd be in denial, or a constant existential crisis!
The film manages to be respectful to the subjects it makes fun of, and that's something.
Also I haven’t seen anyone mention how that universe was foreshadowed by Evelyn earlier needing to “sincerely” profess her love to the brainwashed IRS agent. It’s framed like “that’s completely insane, how is she supposed to do that, obviously it won’t work”. Only for the reveal of a reality where they _are_ in love, and beautifully so.
It's also really important because it's a step towards her accepting her daughter's sexuality by imagining a world in which she is in a relationship with another woman (I should state that my interpretation of the film is that all the fantastical reality and absurdity is representative of her daydreaming about hypothetical scenarios that are tied very closely with her personal anxieties and are a method that she employs in order to deal with being emotionally overwhelmed by her environment)
@@casanovafunkenstein5090 Missed this, great point! Guess it helps that this woman is Deirdre, and that the hot dog fingers and condiments make the universe extra gross (and a bit phallic mayhaps, to tone up the sexual part of it). So it also portrays how Evelyn views same sex romances.
Robert Duvall really nailed it as The Batman. He might have been a teen girl heartthrob, but this movie really showed he can be a leading tough guy while having the looks.. Thanks for the review and I completely agree.

You must not have seen many films these past few years.
@Carlos Johnson I can't think of a movie better from this decade. Not that there have been many period, but what was better? Top Gun: A Star Wars Story?
I went to see this in a theater last night with my girlfriend and it was almost too much for me. I found it extremely grating and overstimulating, to the point where I had to detach a bit from it mentally and stop paying close attention. I have C-PTSD though and am the minority in that regard.
Genuinely would not recommend it in theater to people who get overstimulated easily. I would have enjoyed it much more watching it in bed.
I still like it.

Towards the ending with Joy stating essentially depression and how she says being with her mom just hurts them both...as someone who's bipolar, lost him mom who he was close to, and being estranged from his father for well over a decade, it hit so hard.

I think what makes this movie really stand out among the crowd is how it balances tone so effectively, and no matter how ridiculous things get it never fails to tie everything back to very raw and relatable insights into our humanity and relationships with others. It was these intimate character moments that perhaps "bloated" the runtime for some that distinguish it from being just a pretty cool sci-fi thriller into something with a truly lasting impact beyond its sleek visuals.
Yeah, this movie employs some kind of magic where they can sharply switch tones multiple times in a scene and never leave the audience with whiplash. I'm guessing its because the movie is so locked into the protagonist's perceptive that it just keeps you hooked, but it was kinda shocking while watching.
I finally got around to seeing this movie recently so I came back to watch the review. And seriously, the whole time I was watching it, I kept thinking about how these guys were DEFINITELY going to do the 'It's about family' joke again, only unironically.
It is a movie that was weird and wacky that created a wholesome feeling for me. I loved it. I never though watching rocks and a fake racoon would be so enjoyable when their importance is written so well.
I got strong Douglas Adams vibes from how absurd it ended up getting.
same here, was getting a matrix meets hitchhiker's guide feeling when i was watching it for the first time
Ha! I was the 42nd like 🥳.
I didn't, but if i did it would make me like the movie a little more. Which is rather hard to do.
Same, one of the first impressions I got about mid-way through the film. The bagel thing actually worked really well for me for that reason, reminded me of the total-perspective vortex where an image of the entire universe can be extrapolated from a small piece of fairy cake
Same, it had strong Douglas Adams vibes with the way they combined absurdity with philosophical and even touching moments
It's worth noting all of the existentialist themes in there too. The idea of embracing who you are and the situation you're in, and not thinking about all of the other possibilities, comes directly from Sartre and Camus (especially Camus, considering the Absurdism present throughout the film). I like the way that's literally the moral of the film as well, where she can still see the alternate possibilities at the end but chooses to ignore them.
I agree that the film went on for a bit too long. That's my only real criticism of it, though - otherwise I loved it.
Oh yeah it is absurdly steeped in existentialism - the idea of people living their lives in roles, as wells as the literal absurdity of so many of the multiverse, not to mention the use of absurdity of absurdity in the 'real' universe to mask or even counter the despair of the characters.
It said everything and more that I Heart Huckabee's wanted to say, only in a far more succinct, relatable and accurate way.
Absolutely. The active conflict between existentialism and nihilism really cemented the idea of what existentialism is really well to me. It’s funny-this movie came out at just the right point that I watched it during the summer after I had an English class which had a major unit centered around Existentialism/Absurdism (The Stranger, Camus’ essay on Sisyphus, Waiting for Godot), and I’m very glad that I was able to experience and recognize these existentialist themes while all this existentialist and absurd literature was still fresh in my mind.
The hot dog fingers works led to one of the best lines in the movie: "because even in a stupid world where we have hot dogs for fingers, we get really good with our feet." Like all versions of ourselves have value, no matter what path we take in life. I actually teared up at that part and you just shit on it haha
I would never go to RLM for in depth critique.
They didn't shit on it. Jay literally talked about how emotional the Hotdog fingers bit was despite looking ridiculous
@@BradsGonnaPlay where would you go lol? Siskel and Ebert isn't a thing anymore, and every other reviewer on yt is either a fanboy giving surface level comments or a carbon copy video essayist who takes themselves too seriously and tries too hard to make some grand esoteric point.

@@NoctuaOlivae honestly… I was making a joke. But for in-depth critique, I guess I’d recommend YMS, Big Joel, or Lindsay Ellis. Granted all those channels have fallen off in some way or another, but RLM is like a friends recommendation at this point to me.

Personally I find the bagel as a really clever 'yin' to the to the googly-eye 'yang'. The icon of ultimate nihilism is a literal inversion of the tool that Waymond uses to fight against the universe.
I think there's more going on there than just an absurd, low effort, rick and morty sketch.
@@lysikasaito ok professor
@@lysikasaito as much as this comment is 100% right, it's pretty clear that Mike and Jay dismiss this as an absurdist bit
The bagel is a circle void in the center. The eye is a circle full in the center.
I think the "issue" (such as it is) is the fact that it's an "everything bagel." Like, ha ha lol get it? Everything??
As an inversion of the googly eyes, as symbols for nihilism vs loving kindness, it's great. But as a bagel, it does come across as that kind of *holds up spork* so random humor that tends to be really not funny. It's such a small complaint, at least for me personally, though, and I absolutely love the movie.
@@SD-ni2ys to me it wasn't supposed to be HAHA LOL, more just light hearted humor. your irritation might be colored by assuming how funny they thought they were being.
At the 75% mark for me I also felt it slowing down or tiring pacing...but within a minute or two, the emotional theming began really coming into place. So I actually found the structure to be well paced and emotionally powerful, but I can see how it would be questionable if your mindset was a bit more analytical
Right. I loved the movie, but near the end I was starting to wonder where the meandering plot was going. Then the parking lot conversation happened, and I completely forgot about the rest. It definitely could have been cut down more towards the end, but then the emotional hit made all of it make more sense. Hard to say what could be cut... I agree it should've been under 2 hrs. It's probably just too hand-holdy for general audiences which made it so long.
I just call that the "Edgar Wright syndrome"
@@WolfDevastator you should check the deleted scene. The stuffs that they cut out were even more "lol, so random"
While watching the movie I did feel like the climax was going on for a while; in retrospect I actually like it more because it makes a big point in showing it’s not as simple to fix things as everyone wishes it was.
@@sirxmas i think the reason why the climax was so long is because they're trying to give conclusion to every subplots they had set up. There's Waymond and Evelyn one, Evelyn and Gong Gong one, Deidre and Evelyn one, Raccacoonie one, and Joy and Evelyn one.
I could see cutting off 5ish minutes to tighten up the end, but there's no way there's 20+ mins in there that can be trimmed productively.
Finally Racacoonie's time has arrived
I loved how long it went on. This was one of those experiences that I just didn't want to end.
After the movie theater credits scene I was hooked. At that point it had done all sorts of cool weirdness that someone could check out at that point if they wanted. After that moment I was so eager for an interesting resolution that they had me interested for another 2+ hours. I ended up watching the movie gain immediately after my first viewing.
My girlfriend fell asleep by the middle of the movie though, so I get that it somehow doesn't connect with everyone and can feel long to some.
The build up to the end that they indicate to be Oscar bait shmaltz was absolutely incredible in a packed out theatre. The credits rolled it was amazing watching everyone pull themselves out of stunned silence as the audience stood up and collected themselves. I have since watched it again at home and the end really lands differently in a cinema.
@@zanzanzanzan
I think you misinterpreted them describing that part as way more harsh than it actually was. Don’t think they thought it was generic or pretentious or whatever, just factually laying out what kind of scene it was.
Yikes
If my gf fell asleep during the movie I would leave her.
I don't get it I had no problem with this movie what so ever. I think Pacing is just a bad critic of people who didn't get it or lost the plot. I was sad when it ended. I was pulling for EVERYONE in this movie. People have this weird 90 minute and its time to bail mindset now and it freaking wrecks movies. Top 5 all time for me easily. This movie totally was my fav in a LONG LONG time.
Honestly the same people who say movies are "too long" are the same type of people that will watch a 6 hour Baseball game half asleep pissing themselves and say it was a great time.
I think the best way to watch this movie is to actually take a 5 minute break after part 1. They even put the part number up on screen so you know when to take an intermission, it was starting to get a hell of a lot towards the end of part one, so I took 5 and went back to it and it felt perfectly paced for that
I'm glad there was a brief warning before Mike starts talking about _Star Trek: The Next Generation_ yet...again.
Jay: _"If there's a movie I'm interested in, I won't even watch the trailer."_
Mike: _proceeds to explain the plot of the movie_
Mike says 'that Oscar movie feel', I think the academy agreed with him 🤣
I saw it afterward and thought it was too silly and strange for an Oscar tho I liked it there must not have been much else 🤷♂️ glad it won 👍
The thing I really love about this movie is that it's about family. And that's what's so powerful about it.
And about choices
How's your dog doing?
😂
You know Mike is proud of a Star Trek reference if he includes it in the thumbnail
Very scarcely is a movie without fat. So I can understand making somethings tighter along the way. But I disagree with where Mike would tighten the film.
Ending at the stairs would've been the Hollywood action ending, so I'm surprised to hear either of them say this is where they wanted it neater. The film isn't just about family or choices. But also is representative of some forms of mental illness. It takes us on that same journey. Depression does not just get defeated. It gets exhausting, it overstays it's welcome. When you think you've won, you hit a critical low. They both do, we as the audience do, but then because Evelyn chooses to hang on, Joy rejects suicide and chooses to live, because, and it's set up by what Joy says: Evelyn did see something she didn't. Then of course, the main timeline Evelyn and Joy reconcile, because... as they said, the film centers around their relationship so why would they not take time to do that? Then from this point, the epilogue, as most are, is pretty linear, with maybe a minute or two, if that, being spent on each character getting a moment of Joy.
fat isnt always bad, i mean to continue the food metaphor; how many foods' taste depends on a certain amount of fat...
I went over that part again and they didn't actually say that ending at the stairs would have been ideal? They THOUGHT it was gonna end at the stairs, but then it didn't, and so drawing that out felt tiring. (Keep in mind, they didn't know the movie was gonna end the way that it did at the time) More advocating for making those ending beats feel neater, rather than it's about to end and then it doesn't. But it's really hard to say HOW to do that because it'd be a lot of subtle editing things, not necessarily cutting everything out.
I thought they got Randy Newman to voice the raccoon because Randy Newman does so much music for Pixar movies.
I forgot that they can do good movies on half in the bag

It's one of the best portrayals I've seen of the philosophical concept of Absurdism in a movie.
@S V Explain to me what about the concept of absurdism/nihilism is being misunderstood here. The entire point of the movie is to find meaning and joy in the meaningless, despite the absurdity of the pursuit itself. The movie portrayed that well, better than any I've seen.
