And his next film will be named The Northman! Seemingly another period piece: "Viking revenge saga set in Iceland at the turn of the 10th century." I can't wait!
@Cynical Frenchface definitely not, there are others who were wrong as you were when it came out, but it’s now rightfully cemented as a modern horror classic.
@Cynical Frenchface aside from the technical aspect(which was objectively Well done) what makes a good horror movie is pretty subjective. I love the time piece and the whole concept of recreating a puritan fable but I can see why a lot of people wouldnt really care much for it
@Cynical Frenchface the script is one of the best parts tho, its meant to be disjointed, its meant to be like a scare story puritan moms would tell their kids to make them behave, sort of like a dark fairy tale. And thats also the whole point of thomasin, as a puritan girl she doesnt have agency. She was about to get sold ib exchange for some cows lol. Her whole character arc is getting that agency, breaking away from her family, becoming her own person. Leaving the pure but restricted stage of being a kid into the edgy world of being a teenager/young adult.

No I don't even have to watch these movies. Like I don't watch any other movies and watch their show anyway like a pathetic excuse for a human being that I am.
I didn't like the witch. The music was more annoying than atmosphere inducing. It surprises me that my friends said "if you loved It Follows (which I do) you will love the witch." I didn't like it, i wasn't scared, I didn't care about the characters.
The action in The Nice Guys was good! Well shot, well edited and with excellent sound. A movie doesn't need exploding city blocks and complex choreography to be exciting. All it needs, as you said, are characters that we care about and a sense of actual danger, which The Nice Guys had.
As soon as Mike said it, I thought, "That's going to happen." Animal Farm as a funny Pixar cartoon where Communism works perfectly? It'll gross $1B in China alone.
Also interesting to note that out of all these movies, apparently, I found the one about a man covered in grease murdering people the most forgettable. Seriously, what is it with this year.
Reip187 I loved the Neon Demon (helped that I was in a dark room with a great headset for sound because this film is all about aesthetics) but it is a film you should never recommend to anyone because they won't look at you the same ever again
Swiss Army Man might be my favorite movie 2016. When a corpse powered by it's farts rides to the horizon give me a warm feeling then something was done right.
Came here with Collider background after The Nerd Crew parody and after some reservation i started to appreciate you guys. Great art house indy titles on your list here that no one talks about. I'm a fan
Thank you so much for putting the movie poster in the corner so if I still wanted to watch a film I could skip over the discussion without missing the next one.
WreckItRalph I've been lead to both good and terrible from him. With arthouse you get either something interesting, or absolute pretentiousness. It's a 50/50 sometimes I get something good like the VVitch, others I get trash like Neon Demon
The Greasy Strangler sounds similar to a short story my friend wrote for English class back in 1994 called "the Naked Midget". I believe the main character was a little person and a detective who, when trying to solve a crime, would get naked and grease himself up. I don't remember all the details, but it was pretty damn funny
Same for me, I was excited for that movie since I saw the trailer and usually when I wait that long for a movie I'm disappointed, but with this one it BLEW me away. Solid movie.
I never got a chance to see it when it came out- it's the first time in a while that the trailer for a comedy actually made me laugh out loud. Now that the hack frauds have praised it, I'll definitely be getting it as a Christmas present for myself since I don't have anybody in my life who loves me enough to buy me things.
Tyler Bioshock R I'm a huge Kubrick fan, but the Shining is actually one of my least favorite films of his. The cinematography and musical score are great, but the performances of Jack Nicholson (more goofy than scary) and Shelly Duvall (whiny and annoying) really bring it down for me.
I can't believe I didn't remember this at first, but Mike and Jay's idea about it being funny to watch people trying to kill themselves is the subject of a great episode of Satoshi Kon's Paranoia Agent, wherein a group of people form a suicide pact but just can't seem to find a way to act on it. It's a funny, dark, and heartwarming episode that you can pick out of the show without needing much context if you don't want to watch the previous episodes. See it!
***** The fact you think John Landis has that sort of pull in hollywood is ridiculous tbh so i'm done here. Multiple production companies wouldn't be bidding on his scripts because of John Landis that's insane.
Mike's sardonic grin when he says "They'll just change it" at 2:10 when they speak about a hypothetical "Animal Farm" remake is just one of the billion things why I love RLM :D Oh it will be about friendship but also about working together as a team. And probably family too.
I just came here after watching The VVitch, but wow, interesting to hear Rich's take on The Lobster. The Lobster is one of my top 5 (tied) movies. Absolutely love that movie, the idea of turning it off halfway through is crazy to me. It's very weird and slow in a *way*, but the atmosphere of the entire movie is so oppressive that it just grips me for the entire movie.
I admire Mike's attitude towards The Lobster. Understands it, but isn't going to pretend to like it because everyone else does. I've definitely fallen victim to doing that…
I believe the humour used in The Lobster is called absurdist. A completely out there idea treated with complete seriousness. I wasn't a big fan, but I get why people would like it.
Not exactly. It would definitely be in the tradition of, or evoking, Absurdism - Ionesco in particular - but if you read or see a Ionesco play like The Rhinoceros, for example, it isn't exactly *dry*... The Lobster looks fairly pretentious, which Ionesco most certainly was not.
+Antrix because those movies are geared towards children. They're children's movies. These guys aren't children. Also saying it's "well received by critics" isn't any indication whether adults like it or not, especially in context with Disney. You give Disney a bad review and they'll put you in the furnace like they did with the jews.
Fly Boy I like them (assuming they're quality films of course)... Although I suppose you already covered that with "man-child" But the real answer is they just don't like them.
Kinda odd that the premise of Pee Wee's Big Holiday is that he doesn't like going anywhere or trying anything new or ever leaving his town when the characters' first movie famously involved a cross country trip
Ah yes, Zootopia, the family friendly talking animal film about... [Spoilers] Politicians inciting a race war by injecting minorities with crystal meth.
shotglassanhero I mean if you call the resolution to the overall mystery persistent throughout the film 25%, sure. Though, I'm not complaining, I love that fucking movie. If I didn't I wouldn't have marked spoilers because I wouldn't have cared.
HobblyBoy I found it interesting that [spoilers] the sheep was the villain. Is Disney actually delivering a nuanced racism metaphor that shows it runs both ways? An animated kids movie that indicts folk like BLM?
Mad props Jay for 'The VVitch' & 'The Neon Demon' love. Especially the mention of the score, seriously was the best score of the year. That and Mica Levi's 'Jackie', which was another fantastic score.
I'm glad that Mike made that point about the animators in Sausage Party. Those fucking animators are so much more skilled and talented than Seth Rogan. It takes years and years of study and practice to be good enough to even intern for a feature animation production and it's still a small fraction of the wages that Seth Rogan gets paid.
The Witch was technically a talking animal movie.
It checks out, but don't ever say it again.

Oh thank god. Now i finally know my opinion about all these movies.

Whatever your thoughts are, that's my opinion, too!
No I don't even have to watch these movies. Like I don't watch any other movies and watch their show anyway like a pathetic excuse for a human being that I am.
It's a little scary how many films are made but disappear so quickly that hardly anyone knows they even existed.
In the case of the Brothers Grimsby, good 👍
Thinking about all the books that go unread gives me that feeling too.
10:22 It was such a sweet moment when Jay said he enjoyed "Grimsby" because it's humour made him think of Mike. Their "bromance" is truly unshakeable!
Its not bromance, its an all the way romance. When will the sheeple wake up to the truth??!!!11

I didn't like the witch. The music was more annoying than atmosphere inducing. It surprises me that my friends said "if you loved It Follows (which I do) you will love the witch." I didn't like it, i wasn't scared, I didn't care about the characters.
@@TheCoffeeNut711 have you revisited it since first watching?
"I saw a film-"
"Fuck you."
I’m several years late, but it REALLY sounds like Mike saying “wave to daddy” at 38:42. Definitely not words I ever wanted to hear in his voice.
I was thinking the same exact thing.
The action in The Nice Guys was good! Well shot, well edited and with excellent sound. A movie doesn't need exploding city blocks and complex choreography to be exciting. All it needs, as you said, are characters that we care about and a sense of actual danger, which The Nice Guys had.

Andy serkis is making it for Netflix or some other streaming service
Didn't they already made one in the 50s?

As soon as Mike said it, I thought, "That's going to happen." Animal Farm as a funny Pixar cartoon where Communism works perfectly? It'll gross $1B in China alone.
Okasy, so, Jay's recommendings for this year are The Witch, The Neon Demon and Pee Wee's Big Holiday..
This is a weird list.
don't forget the greasy strangler!
Oh yeah, my bad
ahaha nah its all good, just another weird pick of his
Also interesting to note that out of all these movies, apparently, I found the one about a man covered in grease murdering people the most forgettable. Seriously, what is it with this year.

In 2021, it’s amazing how the phrase “I’d punch James Franco if he was my kid too” stands so strong

"I'd beat up James Franco if he was my kid, too." Jay Bauman 2016.
The guy with the deep voice in the witch is in so many great british films, he is so underrated but has been on british tv for ever.
Comparing The Greasy Strangler to Garbage Pail Kids is totally apt. You really settled things on how to describe that movie.
Just saw The Nice Guys. Haven't laughed so hard at a movie in ages.
It’s wonderful
Watched it and didnt laugh once :(

it's been a set the whole time ya dungus
My impression is that this is kind of a behind the scenes, self aware interlude before Rogue One. It's meta.
Mike: I saw a movie starring Chris Pine Me: yay they're gonna talk about hell or high water Mike: called the finest hours. Me: ohhhh
Mike nailed it, Office Christmas Party sits at 40% on both critical and audience. Even his off-hand examples to point out a trend, are on point.
Jay: "The witch shows up within the first 5 minutes"
Witch appears at: 7 minutes
Jay confirmed as a hack and a fraud.
I had literally just said to my gf "I wish they did less comic book movies." - got schooled in the first five minutes.
My favorite thing about the shallows was how she had a tourniquet on her leg for 72 hours with no consequences. Realism.

She's been in politics for the past 30 years, though.
Comedies tank largely because they are just as enjoyable on a small screen, so people wait to rent them.
Also... most of them suck nowadays.

The Witch has like a two star rating on Amazon video lol shows the general public doesnt like the slow burning horror which is a damn shame
Jay compared it to the shining and the general public did not like that movie when it came out
Which is really weird to me. Everyone loves it now, but at the time it got a lot of Razzie nominations and everyone said Kubrick had lost his touch.

It's good, certainly one of the more original films out there, but I'm not sure I'd give it as much high praise as Jay.
Tyler Bioshock R I'm a huge Kubrick fan, but the Shining is actually one of my least favorite films of his. The cinematography and musical score are great, but the performances of Jack Nicholson (more goofy than scary) and Shelly Duvall (whiny and annoying) really bring it down for me.

Another way to make 1bil is to make a superhero movie with talking animals in it...
Guardians Vol 2.
Howard the duck 2?
VVVV guardians of the galaxy ftw
I would watch that
VVVV Actually that would be 2bil.
So, all you need is;
A comic book movie, about a mermaid with an animal companion.
Give aquaman a pet dolphin and we've got the movie of the century!
Kinda odd that the premise of Pee Wee's Big Holiday is that he doesn't like going anywhere or trying anything new or ever leaving his town when the characters' first movie famously involved a cross country trip
Ah yes, Zootopia, the family friendly talking animal film about...
[Spoilers]
Politicians inciting a race war by injecting minorities with crystal meth.
That's like 25% of the film.
shotglassanhero I mean if you call the resolution to the overall mystery persistent throughout the film 25%, sure. Though, I'm not complaining, I love that fucking movie. If I didn't I wouldn't have marked spoilers because I wouldn't have cared.
Yeah, did they review that one this year?
As far as I can recall the only animated film they've reviewed on their channel is The Christmas Tree. And that's well... yeah...
HobblyBoy I found it interesting that
[spoilers]
the sheep was the villain. Is Disney actually delivering a nuanced racism metaphor that shows it runs both ways? An animated kids movie that indicts folk like BLM?
Mike hates seth rogen! My life is complete!
I think my favorite HitB episodes are these catch-up style reviews.
@@bumfricker2487 I clapped! I recognized him and I Clapped!
HITB is only for those south of the wall friend.
The Witch is also my favourite movie of 2016! What a beautifully made film- I love the soundtrack and all of the various levels of storytelling.

For Jay to say that the Witch is “doing something completely fucking vile” shows you how terrifying the movie was.
Lol why does Jay likes movies about witches so much?
scockery * vvitch
Thanks to this video I found The Greasy Strangler and I loved it
Damn jay your hair and beard game is on point! on point dude! keep it up as i know im not the only one who appreciates it. And mike... you look nice.
Mad props Jay for 'The VVitch' & 'The Neon Demon' love. Especially the mention of the score, seriously was the best score of the year. That and Mica Levi's 'Jackie', which was another fantastic score.
Swiss Army Man and Greasy Strangler! Best year for movies.
@10:19 can we just all appreciate for a moment how Jay described that the only things that make him laugh are things that remind him of Mike
I'm glad that Mike made that point about the animators in Sausage Party. Those fucking animators are so much more skilled and talented than Seth Rogan. It takes years and years of study and practice to be good enough to even intern for a feature animation production and it's still a small fraction of the wages that Seth Rogan gets paid.
Jay's hair & beard game is on point, how does he do it lads?
Just shared your video on Facebook, one of the few reliable movie review channels.
That Max Landis dig at the end cracked me up, was not expecting that LOL
