Alex and Adum "It's a kids movie"
Ralph, an intellectual: "It's primary demographic is children"
Underrated comment
I hate the term “kids movie” 😡
Ralph: *doesn't like one word titles*
Also Ralph: *makes Lover*
I think it’s more about syllables. Her, It, Old all have 1 but titles like Lover, Cache have 2 syllables so maybe they sound more natural.
2007 must be his favourite year for movies
@@friendlypup5650 😂
haha
Lover is such a meh movie, watched it with commentarry instead

I love how in Soul Adam's just ripping it and Alex is like 'I kinda like this film tho'
And Ralph is vibing
Adam grows to hate everything disney except the Lion King. He cannot hate daddy scar
@@thejedisonic67 he definitely likes more disney stuff than just the lion king.... He just hasn't liked a lot of their recent releases because they have just been pandering to their die hard fan base. And he still gave Soul a positive rating, same with other recent disney stuff like Coco and Zootopia
Yea Adum is just a wee bit dead inside tbh

The only video on RUclips where you’ll hear Soul being compared to Freddy Got Fingered
idk why but this comment broke me. almost dead laughing
Regarding the Roger Ebert review on Freddy Got Fingered despite how harsh he was on it he later reviewed a college comedy movie that had Tom Green in it and Ebert said "I may have been harsh on Freddy Got Fingered but I will say this: at least I remembered that movie, I'm not gonna remember this one"
Edit: here's the real quote
"But the thing is, I remember "Freddy Got Fingered" more than a year later. I refer to it sometimes. It is a milestone. And for all its sins, it was at least an ambitious movie, a go-for-broke attempt to accomplish something. It failed, but it has not left me convinced that Tom Green doesn't have good work in him. Anyone with his nerve and total lack of taste is sooner or later going to make a movie worth seeing.
"Stealing Harvard," on the other hand, is a singularly unambitious product, content to paddle lazily in the shallows of sitcom formula. It has no edge, no hunger to be better than it is. It ambles pleasantly through its inanity, like a guest happy to be at a boring party."
"it failed"
He's wrong though, it didn't fail.
I’m really not a Roger Ebert fan, he seemed like he could be quite unfair and really shortsighted, but god damn could that man write. He always knew how to keep me invested in his review no matter how much I disliked what he was saying or reviewing.
@@florencec1707 he was on his way to some sort of english language phd when he up and decided to become a film critic instead
@@XcaptainXobliviousX that makes a lot of sense!
@@florencec1707 yeah the man had a lot of seriously ass takes (some of which he rescinded later on like in the case of Blue Velvet) but damn the man could write
Freddy Got Fingered is actually the only movie I've ever seen in theaters that had people leaving early the entire time, I remember how I had never even considered that that's a thing you could do til that point. Like every bad joke or gag had another few people just dipping out. When it was over it was just myself and my brothers and like 2 other people; when it started the theater was at least half full
but why did those people go in the first place?
Freddy got fingered is the only movie I’ve ever seen
I made the mistake of convincing my mom to take me and my younger sister to see it in theatre. She made us walk out at the baby scene. First and only walk out.
It was a turing test
"every bad joke"
Wrong, the movie has no bad jokes.
ralph, who got banned from imbd for spam rating Love on a Leash 10/10: i don't have any ironic ratings
And his Letterboxd has an ironic 5-star review of The Last Jedi where he gave it what seemed like clearly sarcastic compliments. This is why Ralph bugs me so much, because he has no consistency with his views and whatnot.
@@degau558 I wouldn’t say he has no consistency, but it does annoy me how much he changes his ratings on Letterboxd.
@@degau558 Oh damn that was an ironic rating? I thought he actually liked it :(
All of this I love about Ralph. Adum's consistency is slightly disturbing.
Can't have ironic ratings if they're all banned

Out of all the films this podcast has reviewed thus far, nothing has been is more prestigious and celebrated as “Freddy Got Fingered” (2001).
Ben & Arthur comes at a close second
I do believe FGF is the only film to win The Golden Lion, the Palme d’or, the Oscar for Best Picture, and get put in the Criterion collection the day it came out? I could be mistaken.
@@JDLaney-zk4wb no mistake here
@@JDLaney-zk4wb you are mistaken. it also won a Golden Globe and an Emmy [somehow] that day as well
Here is my response to one of the plotholes mentioned about Soul. They mentioned earlier in the movie that you're in the zone when you fully concentrate on your passion. He doesn't go to the zone every time he plays the piano. Only when he's fully concentrated. When Joe is playing piano with Dorthea Williams near the end of the film, his attention isn't all on the piano so he wouldn't go to the zone. He is more concentrated on the fact that he finally made it. In that scene, he was smiling and looking around at Dorthea and the audience, so how can he be in the zone if he is not fully concentrating. When he is in the zone, it's him fully concentrating on the piano, and since he is aware of the soul plain, he can be able to come back. It's just something that I thought while watching this. I'm not trying to change anyone's opinions. I love this channel! I'm just offering my perspective.
And it's a perspective I wholeheartedly agree with. Adum's arguments are usually pretty air-tight but when it comes to Pixar films he often either misses basic plot elements or focuses his priorities differently than usual.
@@isaiahwilliams2642 I think he just has Pixar fatigue at this point.
Also in Adam’s review he keeps bitching about how Joe should just go back to earth using the people in the unconscious plane, but somehow misses that would mean commandeering someone else’s life and body and the fact that Jerry would just come after him again.
As great as Adam is sometimes he misses something vital. Consciously or unconsciously.
@@the25centman Everyone makes mistakes! Some movies connect to people in different ways. Soul doesn't connect with him the same way it connects with me. I believe that sometimes liking or disliking a movie has reasons that aren't that coherent. That and the ending of the movie is more complex than they're giving credit for.
@@isaiahwilliams2642 People need to stop acting like Adum's opinions are gospel, when he's just like everyone else at the end of the day.
I love how Alex keeps calling it "Mouse Pizza" it fits better with a Disney property than Pizza Rat
I don't know why that made me so angry him calling it 'Mouse Pizza' hahaha
I thought at first it was a pizza with mouse as the topping.
Adam the pirate hippie needed Joe to focus on his own body in order to open the portal. That would not have been possible for 22.
@@CoryTheNorm Not really, Terry would just notice the count is off and hunt them down to set the count right.
@@CoryTheNorm No, because that would involve every dead person sneaking away and being able to pass off as an ambassador then making it to the soul plain.
Read the pinned comment on my review as I've already addressed this many, many times
Adum: "My goal with the Lion King 2019 review is to get Alex to bump his score up from a 7 to an 8"
Alex: "I was thinking about the original Lion King and i definitely underrated it on the episode we talked about it, im gonna admit it now"
Welp he did it. And its not even out yet
This film, nay, work of art, has possibly the most ingenious symbolism and emotional storytelling of any I've come across:
Gordy whacks off a horse and an elephant to prove to himself and his father that he has "grasped manhood". As he grabs the horse's member, he shouts "Look at me, Daddy! I'm a farmer, Daddy" indicating he wants to prove his independence to his father, the farmer symbolizing a hard worker that produces something valuable to society. The fact that he makes the elephant ejaculate the fruits of his manly labor all over his father and immediately afterwards his father accepts him shows that he has succeeded.
Such a brilliant film, 5/5 stars, i cri everytim
Have you seen Lindsay Ellis and Kyle Kallgren's review of the movie? It's pretty fun, Kyle claims that the girlfriend character is a spin on the madonna whore trope, because none of her sexual acts involve nudity.
@@YggdrasilAudio Yes actually, that's where I got the idea. Phallic symbols, and sometimes actual phalluses everywhere.
Tom Green whacking off a horse > Werner Herzog eating a shoe
Freddy got Fingered, never thought they’d ever cover this Umderrated, genius, Dadaist Masterpiece
Freddy got fingered makes waaay too much sense to be dada but it’s got the spirit for sure.
I haven't listened to that part of the podcast yet but I will unironically defend Freddy Got Fingered as an art film. The DVD director's commentary (remember those?) had Tom Green talking about the production and editing of the film, and his battles against the studios to make the movie he wanted. It acts as a strange reflection of the film's story, which in turn is semi-autobiographical, it's extremely meta.
@@inevitableveganfuture3915 its like kaufmann's 'adaptation', but stupid
It’s interesting that a film about appreciating the little things is sorta lost on someone whose job it is to get hung up on all the little things in film.
Adum gets pissed when you say it's a kids movie chill, but was he expecting the character to kill himself to get to the afterlife? Oh yeah, they cut a scene explaining the cat. It died but they have 9 lives so he came back.
@@CoryTheNorm I mean when he played piano to get to the afterlife, they needed a kid friendly way to get him there.
@@Sandybowls_9001 Adam has claimed the pinned comment in his Soul review video addresses the criticisms people have with his perspective on the film.
Even though in actuality, his rebuttals were really nothing more than hypotheticals as well as assumptions about how the rules in that narrative were established and set up, rather than evidence from the actual writing and construction of scenes within the movie itself.
Despite how he wants to frame the discussion, Soul is not the equivalent of a "Last Jedi" type of film, where any internal as well as external narrative logic can be ignored and discarded willy-nilly, and having it’s story be fundamentally broken as a result.
@@VictoryRabbit Honestly it seems to me like his criticisms of Soul are coming from someone who stubbornly refuses to like a modern Pixar film. He even admits at the beginning of the discussion that he gave it a “begrudgingly positive” score. His criticisms here feel like the Cinemasins-esque nitpicks of someone who went into the movie ready to hate it and thus focused in on the tiny inconsistencies
@@Linkbrawler9000 cry about it more
@@Linkbrawler9000 To me, it's just not paced well. That's all.
“Hundreds and thousands” is a thing here (England), we say sprinkles too though.
I was so confused when he said that it wasn't a thing, has he never been to an ice cream van before, or even the UK
Yes I worked in an Ice Cream shop for years, can confirm. Possibly more of a Northern thing? I think sprinkles is becoming the more predominant term over time however.
We also called them 'hundreds and thousands' in South Africa
It’s a northern thing I think
@@milesedwards3287 I've heard it in the South and in Wales
Eh the haircutting scene prior to the barbershop is more of a cultural joke to me. Black folks, especially Black men, HAVE to have a fresh line up before something important thus leading to the barbershop scene. They even note he wanted to cut his hair because the walk in wait is historically long af lol
A canadian with horse-long hair wouldn't get that
@@thejedisonic67 Wasn't expecting him to get it (or any them lol), was just pointing out the cultural layer
dam that's cool, feel like a learn something, makes the scene feel more sense on why he so strongly wanted to get afresh cut
the cultural aspect and importance of the haircut/barbershop is valid.
the conflict created for the scene to lead to the barbershop is still contrived
I’m glad they liked WolfWalkers
It was so good
I knew these uncultured plebs would hate Freddy Got Fingered
unironically this
They hate Freddy Got Fingered? (I haven't listened to the podcast yet)
actually incredible movie
The next movie from Cartoon Saloon is gonna be a Netflix gig; an adaptation of My Father's Dragon from the director of The Breadwinner, so I'm hyped.
1:17:55 "A flip got switched." That really fucked with my head for a second before I figured out what was wrong with what he said.
Correction for the "original song" composed for Wolfwalkers: "Running with the Wolves" actually existed way before the movie came out. The only thing about it that's original to the film itself is that it was re-recorded using Irish instruments and slightly different lyrics.
Aurora so damn good. Have always loved her music - 'Runaway' is great, as is her recent song 'Stjernestov'.
@@michaelangelo2192 b dm
Compared to Kells and Song of the Sea, Wolfwalkers's soundtrack felt underwhelming. But in every other aspect it was definitely a step up.
Wow what a great review, I already listened to the entire thing. Nice to meet you, I’m a time traveler.
The first time I saw Freddy Got Fingered was after I saw the RLM review, so I don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much without seeing that first. But it was funny. Some of those gags were really, really funny. It reminded me of Don't Be a Menace to South Central how it moved from gag to gag.
I'm not saying that plot mechanics aren't important but themes and emotional impact are more important
But isnt the plot mechanics what makes the themes and emotional impact special in the first place?
@@enkidude9372 I am just saying Adam focuses too much on little plot inconsistencies and not on the themes of the movie
@@enkidude9372 I have a problem with nitpicking
That’s the problem with some critics. They either let tiny little nitpicks ruin the entire movie for them, or they’re too cynical to look at things from a different angle.
@@beyondviolet exactly! Couldn't have said it better my self!
From the UK, can confirm "hundreds and thousands" - could be a northern thing. Alex is about as southern as it gets.
I'm from London and we have Hundreds and Thousands. I have no clue what cave Alex just crawled out of, but I wanna steal it.
Been waiting for this one, lots of different opinions and cool movies with my favorite set of bois reviewing.
So a couple of things about Soul. For Adam, the point of only being able to see and hear things in the soul world is part of the point of the movie. The movie argues that we only see and hear things on the surface level of it but we don't actually truly experience or feel what's around us. 22 didn't want to just mindlessly go through the process for going to earth with just a superficial understanding of what life is like, hence why the body switching stuff was so important. As for Alex's desire for the movie to end with Joe dying, that would have fundamentally gone against the message of the movie about the beauty of life. He also wasn't sacrificing himself for 22 either. He realizes that he lived his life the wrong way and that the spark 22 earned was truly their own and so he feels obligated to do the right thing and give it back. I think the ending they did was still really effective because Joe came to terms with the life he lived but when given the chance to continue living, he has a better appreciation of it and he doesn't know what's going to happen next. I think that's still a ballsy ending to have in a kids movie. It also ties into the movies theme of saying there is no real answer to our existential concerns about life and the abrupt ending of him getting a second chance and us not knowing what happens next is fitting for a movie that fundamentally says there's no real conclusion to anything. Anyway those are my thoughts.
Thanks for making this comment so I don't have to. It's rare that Adum gets things straight up wrong, and it usually seems to heppen whenever he talks about Pixar movies. Like in Toy Story 3 when he complains that the monkey doesn't call the intercom when Woody first escapes, even though it's the middle of the day and there are people everywhere. It's very out of character for him.
Alex's criticism I think is okay. I get why people want Joe to die, because they interpreted the message a bit differently and thought him dying would complete it, but yeah, Joe surviving makes more sense through our lense.
What?
I just watched Wolfwalkers last night, great film, best animation from last year for sure
Alex sounds like he wants to cry lmfao. It’s okay Alex, stand up for that Pixar movie
I don’t think there’s much interesting in debating/correcting adums point on some of the plot holes. Soul was procedural in parts and fell into the typical trap of over explaining the world to justify and make sense of the abstractions. Is it unfortunate? Yes. Does it ruin the movie? If you let it, it certainly will.
What’s more interesting to me are what is actually clever about Soul. The Jerrys’ get mentioned for their design but the design isn’t just a good design- it’s cubism. They are based on an art style that’s meant to express that objects exist simultaneously from all perspectives which I think is quite clever for what the characters are meant to represent.
Another clever point is how the narrative structure is very much based on spontaneity. There were so many parts in Soul on my first viewing that lead me to think that the story was going to go one way only to go another. There’s characters that in other movies like this would have had more focus but they are only given a few scenes to push the themes forward. This spontaneous structure is appropriate for the use of jazz. Jazz is about spontaneity and in the moment choices. This is also how the movie is trying to portray life. Something spontaneous and unpredictable. That’s the spark of life.
To each their own but I find it not irritating or frustrating to hear someone be so reductive of art but more so disappointing. Reminds me a lot of hearing him talk about David Lynch. Opinions are great and that’s why I’m sharing mine :)
Just watched wolf walkers, definitely one of the best looking animated films that I’ve seen thank you so much for telling me about this.
I like it when Alex talks about England and its subtle differences.
Soul isn't perfect and has a lot of dumb checklisty stuff, but Adum's rant about it being a factory movie and such in his review felt a little reductive to me. Technically it is, sure, but there are a lot of great, beautiful artistic elements to the movie in spite of it being made by Disney, and I hate Disney usually. The Lion King wasn't lesser for being made by Disney, and though this isn't as good as TLK, the same applies I'd say. I wouldn't want to disregard all the great stuff in Soul because it happened to be made by the worst company on Earth.
That all said, he's totally right for the most part. They could have just not drawn so much attention to the rules of the thing and it would have been a better, less distracting script with more emotional weight.
What do you wanna say?Be clear man.
USA thinks animation is for babies. I like anime by default because anime has good animation, good voice acting, adult story telling, and inspired plots. If Pixar watched Cells at Work or Hellsing Ultimate they'd die inside.

Aye, thanks Alex for saying Ralph Break the Internet as the answer to that question
Freddy Got Fingered is unironically great. Also I was surprised with Soul.
Yeah these guys don't know fun.
@@mabusestestament they’re cursed with only enjoying things ironically
Adam's Lion King review is gonna cure Covid. That's why it takes so long!
I think it's funny how this is another year where a Pixar movie is in competition with a less mainstream, more independent animated movie and people dogpile on Soul for what it allegedly represents as the soulless product of an evil corporation stealing the glory away from the passionate, profound work of an outsider animation studio, when honestly I'd say that the story of Wolfwalkers is more formulaic and less ambitious than that of Soul. Soul's definitely not perfect and is subject to criticism as much as anything else, but I feel like the current hate-boner for Pixar kinda leads some people to miss the forest for the trees when it comes to taking the complete package of their movies as a whole. I think both movies are very good, while giving the edge to Soul for how well it did it's job of connecting to me personally even though I really do admire the more independent creative spirit and style of Wolfwalkers.
Exactly. I feel like Adum had a large hand in boosting the Pixar hate boner on faulty grounds. He always assumes that the films he dislikes are bad out of a lack of passion rather than the passion being misguided or the filmmakers having different perspectives and ways of expressing them that are subjective.
He likes to push the idea that you should automatically assume:
Indie=Good
Corperate=Bad
When one of his favorite films is The Lion King.
Pixar is full of passionate people and they work mostly on their own with little interference from the corporation that owns them. Walt Disney Animation you could make a stronger case for being a corperate puppet since toys and mass appeal through cliches and generic plot points seems to be more of the focus in the filmmaking process. Case in point, Coco and Moana. Schaffrillas Productions made an excellent video on how Pixar focuses on getting the culture right for artistic reasons while Moana focuses more on cultural appropriation for the sake of mass appeal even if it is good.
@@isaiahwilliams2642 On the one hand I do not think that Adum is that absolutist, on the other hand I agree.
@@isaiahwilliams2642 You both nailed it. I hate Disney almost as much as Adum but he needs to step outside of that when actually reviewing the movie, especially since Pixar is largely its own thing that Disney rightfully leaves to its own devices.
Both Soul and Wolfwalkers were the best animated movies I've seen in 2020, although then again, there wasn't much competition that came out last year, probably owing to you-know-what!
@@VigilanteLulu A lot of movies came out last year, just less blockbuster ones. Really it just depends on how many movies you saw despite major ones being pushed to next year.
It seems like a decent amount of people are not with YMS on Soul, even on his own channel. He gets too hung up on the rules that the World building sets up, instead of realizing that it works perfectly enough to get the message across effectively. Must be frustrating to get so overwhelmed with all the little details and not just enjoy the moment to moment storytelling.
I mean there's nothing wrong with disliking a movie. Its not his job to change his priorities for what he enjoys in a movie just so you can both approve. World building is a pretty important aspect for a lot of people and the moment a movie breaks the rules it establishes it can weaken the idea of there being any consequence, which imo is pretty important as it means the filmmakers actually care about the story in which the means justify the end
Years ago, I met Anthony Michael Hall at a pop-culture show in New Jersey. Everyone was asking him about “The Breakfast Club”, “Pretty in Pink”, etc. I talked to him about “Freddy.” He totally agreed the movie accomplished exactly what Tom Green set out to do. Very nice guy, by the way.
Glad to see Freddy got fingered getting some recognition. A true cinematic masterpiece.
Since Satantango is coming out on Blu-Ray tomorrow (I went ahead and pre-ordered it myself), maybe you guys should talk about that movie someday. May take a while given it's over seven hours long.
I unironically love Freddy Got Fingered. While watching it I was dying from laughter from start to end. Its just so great, so dumb, so meta
There's actually some reasoning behind the "Irish folklore fantasy trilogy" that Alex brought up. Tomm Moore wrote the stories to and directed all three movies, whereas the Breadwinner was written and directed by other people. Same goes for the upcoming Netflix movie _My Father's Dragon._
Nora Twomey was the director of The Breadwinner and she ain't half bad either!
@@VigilanteLulu I may have to check that one out sometime.
Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Gotta mentally prepare myself to watch that again haha.
The soul world made sense to me though. I thought the soul world is you have to complete your soul to born. But after you are born you can go to the soul world without dying when you are in the zone. And since joe now knows about soul world he is aware of it when he is in the zone but other souls aren't.
I CANNOT WAIT for Adam’s Lion King review. Even if it takes five years I WILL BE READY
7:36 btw Tia Fuller did the music for Dorothea William’s character in Soul. She’s also Beyoncé’s saxophone player on tour! Warms my heart that she got this opportunity, the beehive absolutely adore her💕
I hear people use the term "Hundreds & Thousands" in England all the time
Is that the one with the ice sculpture of Tom’s dad about to give his mum a hiding memorialising the one time the dad spoke badly to the mum lol - brilliant
Noé’s new Irreversible Cut did come out last year actually, saw it in theaters on vacation in Nice, France (while they were still open, obviously)
“Running with the Wolves” is not an song made for Wolfwalkers. It’s by Aurora, came out in 2016
The visual style in Wolfwalkers reminded me of the Cobbler and the Thief in some way. A film which I hope they review some day.
Wolfwalkers (and other Cartoon Saloon films, especially from Tomm Moore) is basically The Thief and the Cobbler but actually focused!
My dad had to build the sausage piano, i keep telling him peoplethink it's funny now, but he won't talk about it
1:50:59 - Oh nice Adam! I am glad that you enjoyed Yakuza 0. 😀
I really love that game and whole series in general.
I bought you some jewels, Betty! They're jewels, Betty, they're jewels.
Alex you're the best! It'a hypothetical so we can say anything we want... nahhh... and everyone else was making all kinds of assumptions and conclusions that the movie didn't give because it emotionally resonated.
Adam over-analyzes a movie like Soul and ruins it for himself.
I'd usually disagree, but in this case your 100% right. He keeps focusing on one element and makes a problem out of it when that very problem is explained in other scenes.
@@NoxxPie to be fair, every one is "self-absorbed" when it comes to them liking what they like and feeling how they feel. Our own subjective opinion is inescapable, and everyone is entitled to believe what they believe, so long as it's not hurting anyone as far as I'm concerned. Peace, brother.
@@NoxxPie lol.
Nah it already ruins itself
Hundreds and thousands is in very common in the UK, I'm wondering if Alex actually live here.
nope, the one with the english accent doesn't live in the UK. He lives in Swindon.
your name is saying one thing but your profile pic is saying another
@@Nivamp_ yes
The side missions make cyberpunk from ok to pretty good in my opinion the Judy River Panama and the Crucifixion missions are all really good
If you could talk about "May" sometime (Adam saw it) that would be wonderful.
The rat pizza thing was definitely a reference.
Don't you get it Adam? Jon Favreau loves the Lion King just as much as you. His 2019 remake was a gift to each and everyone on this planet who loves the original because they are going to compare it and notice so many little details that no one, besides him, saw before. He is a genius! And honestly? You should thank him.
32:53 adum really gaslight IHE into thinking that wasn’t a reference 💀💀💀
I thought Freddy got Fingered was a Nightmare on Elm Street sequel at first lmao
Alex is THE worst UK representative, we do call sprinkles hundreds and thousands and we call cupcakes fairy cakes
I always brace myself when Alex answers a question about British culture... yeah in London it's always been hundreds and thousands, sprinkles is an Americanism I've only heard on US TV. I reckon cupcakes (another americanism) has pretty successfully wiped out the term 'fairy cakes' over the last 20 years, though in my mind they are different; cupcakes have all that cream cheese frosting crap on top and fairy cakes are small and iced. Also ales (traditional non-pasteurised hand-pumped beer) are normally served at cellar temperature i.e. below room temperature, rather than 'warm', and traditional stouts are too. Pressurised (fizzy), pasturised beer (lagers, modern versions of Guiness, etc.) are served cold just like everywhere else in the world.
cjamesmcgregor it’s crazy how often he gets it wrong, too much American media I guess?
1:46:04 The reverse cut of Irreversible is already out in Germany since December. You can buy it from the german Amazon store.
Just a heads up Adam I looked into it and can confirm that Australians just call sprinkles the same thing. They do NOT call them "hundreds and thousands."
I've been watching The Tom Green Show recently so I appreciate that intro.
Hundreds and thousands is definitely a british expression as well, that's how I knew sprinkles as a kid. Maybe it's a generational thing as I'm a bit older than Alex
im getting way more mid roll ads than normal, not just on this, but on everything, i feel like youtube is pushing ads really hard to make people get youtube premium but its just making me not wanna use youtube. has anyone else noticed this?
yea same
In response to Adam asking about early examples of 'candid' comedy- Trigger Happy TV, 2000, hilarious show
Hundreds And Thousands are a particular type of sprinkle for iced cakes, they're little tiny sugar balls in many colours, as distinct from sugar strands, where the sprinkles are elongated.
The term Hundreds And Thousands is certainly used in Ireland, but I'm fairly sure that it is also used in the UK, maybe it's only certain regions?
Tom Green's show was absolutely pivotal when it comes to Jackass/Andre, and really surpasses those works if you're looking at it from the perspective of "is this the gag/is he really like this" a la Kaufmann. The movie, like someone else mentioned here, was one of few times I got to see people leave the theatre as a child in just utter disgust all the way through, I believe the horse cock about 5-10 minutes into the film really started the first wave, but it was a constant stream from then on.
Adum's point is pretty on the nose when it comes to "written to be performed in the field" but there's another caveat we're missing here - this was written and pitched BY Green to be performed out in the field in very much a Jackass style, but when Fox got a hold of the footage they went "holy fuck this is insane and going nowhere" and added in a couple of extra scenes/actors to serve as a disjointed backbone, hence why the beginning is an absolute mess and the cartoonist thing breaks down within minutes.
Aaaahh, yes. The best birthday gift I could ask for; another episode
When Alex called Pizza Rat a "mouse pizza".
“The actions in the script are only there to justify the next scene”
Isn’t that how all movies work?
Yeah I wish they explained what they meant by that better.
I think the word justified suggests that the scenes feel phony
It means it doesn't feel organic.
@@luiginastro8831 every movie relies on convenience.
Yes, but the actions in one scene must be stablished as totally necessary for the next scene to happen. So the thing about the scene where Joe messes his hair so he can go to the barber shop and have a deep conversation with his friend, is that it's only there as an excuse so he can go to the barber shop, but the character wears a hat all the time, why not just hide it? It's kind of irrelevant that he messed his hair.
Actually the haircut/barbershop scene wasn't bs at all. I get that it's cultural, but if you have that type of hair, you get fresh cuts before any and every important event. It's not convoluted at all that before such an event he'd want to get lined up right.
@@JDLaney-zk4wb Not really. Although on this one it's very specific, so I can understand he doesn't get it. Bit surprised Ralph didn't know about it, tho, being from New York and being in that mix.
whats BS about it is that the main character ACTUALLY thought it was easier for a cat to cut his hair than it is for 22 to pretend to be him, you'd have to be outta your goddamn mind
@@luigiwiiUU Hmmm... I guess. Although I can understand the paranoia of not wanting to let her interact with people while in his body, as well as him overestimating his motor skills as a cat with a machine he had used hundreds of times as a human.
It's just goofy to gripe about those points. To me, at least. I'd give a lot more merit to the forced reconciliation with his mother, 22 becoming a lost soul just cause, or the casual way they let him live again despite having died already. More so than the whole set up for taste, being in the zone or reaching spiritual form while alive...
It's just too CinemaSins-ish for me.
@@luigiwiiUU okay so the character was overconfident in his own ability to cut his hair. Why is it a ‘plot hole’ when the characters don’t always pick the perfect choice all the time, imagine how boring every movie would be if everyone was perfect, there’d be no plot
@@finnmacmanus5723 idk bro seems pretty dumb to me
So Ralph, the man that made Lover, has problems with one word titles? That thread on Ralph The Movie Maker just gets bigger.
That thread?
@@Steve-je2zc It's just a joke with this post in reddit that claims Ralph The Movie Maker is actually a sociopathic douchebag, which is also a joke, I guess...
@@wandersonoliveira263 guess I’m out of the loop
@@wandersonoliveira263 what is the thread or subreddit?
@@strangelakers1079 Just search "I met Ralph at" and you'll probably find something. Is on the r/sardonicast.
adam is spot on about cyberpunk, such an underwhelming experience that didn't take advantage of it's universe (especially gangs) and did not deliver on the RPG elements that were advertised for so long
I put on soul with the intention to “Disney + and chill” but ended up watching the full movie.
I just turned it on when I was bored and there was nothing else to watch but very quickly I got absorbed and really enjoyed the watch
OK this request might sound weird but can you guys talk about the 2004 Spongebob Squarepants movie, it holds up really well, and it's pretty short too. Please talk about it on Sardonicast, I would be eternally grateful. Oops messed up grammar and only just noticed.
These boys back to save us from these dark times
A stout is an Ale Adum. Beer is only categorized into ales and lagers. A lot of craft beer you see is ale. A lot of popular light beers are lagers. And on top of that, you’re more likely to see people drink warm stouts than other styles.
Stalker, Hunger, Badlands, Ikiru, Hereditary, Shame, HAXAN, symbiopsychotaxiplasm!! .. I LOVE a great one word title.
damn how much new york can you portray awesomely and still get people who don't understand pizza rat
That moment when you realise someone else already timestamped the video in the comments 😔
Thanks anyway, bra 🍻
I'll say that Adam's Soul analysis while good might have one important flaw, one could easily justify certain aspects of the story that looked silly by expanding the story. For example the fact that the hippie was so conveniently near might be normal because those astral plains might be based on people near each other or of course you could also take it as a Lynch-ian story and consider the whole thing alegorical in part.
Still waiting for that Freddy got fingered criterion collection release.
