Not only did Drew buy the rights but she paid extra in order to have the angels not use guns! She didn’t think they needed them and that the girls could be badass and hold up their own without them. Slay slay slay.
Between this and the knowledge that it was her idea to do the Scream fake out, Drew Slayrrymore is truly on another level. She’s playing 5D chess while the rest of us are playing hopskotch
But also guns take the slay out of any spy movie I feel cause you can just shoot someone and that's it. No acrobatics, no contrived gadgets, and the very high risk of being actually killed? That's not fun.
one fun fact i learned was because charlie’s angels (2000) was so popular, totally spies was greenlit, so thank u charlie’s angels for being so iconic & paving the way for one of the most iconic cartoons of the 2000’s x
Charlie is such a damsel in distress. He starts shit, and then he needs to be saved by the angels everytime. Has Charlie attended The Bella Swan School For Vulnerable Girls Of Overblown Importance??
The fact that Mike has never seen ‘The Sound of Music’ and doesn’t get the brilliance of them playing “The Lonely Goatherd” while revealing the angels dressed as nuns is actually soul crushing-
It just makes me feel protective of him like he's little orphan Oliver, ever so deserving and also secretly aristocratic, yet brought up in an asylum and fed only gruel. Breaks my heart 💔
The way Maddison said "why be an angel when I can be God" and then later died falling into fire like that other angel who was in his girlboss era in that one book (I think is called bibble or something) and was punished and fell into hell cause he wanted to be as powerful as God? Iconic, truly a masterpiece of the 2000s

I waited 38 mins for you to SKIP OVER the most iconic scene when demi Moore literally flies off that building using those flimsy ass silk wings. I die every time. One of my favourite films ever
Biggest slay takeaways have got to be your gracious inclusion of both Lucy liu rejecting men scenes and the acceptance that Sam Rockwell is indeed hot in the movie
I loooved the campiness of these movies. They're so dumb but they're weirdly comforting and they're fun and extra, and Lucy, Cameron, and Drew just do such a good job channeling that. As a kid I thought "imagine being a bad b who is so confident in every single thing you do" cause that was what the characters are giving its such a slay
I think in the 2000s version of ‘Charlie’s Angels’, they got the campiness and unhinged moments just right. My favourite pairing was Cameron Diaz and Luke Wilson.
This was the “golden age” of the movie star, which is why movies like this, rom coms, and other mid budget films were extremely popular. Stars filled seats then so people would literally go to the cinema to see the new Cameron Diaz film, the same way we now go to see the new marvel film. Now we’re in the “death of the movie Star” age, which is why we’ve seen a massive decline in mid budget films and studios focus on backing high concept “blockbusters”, remakes and adaptations where the franchise or the concept fills seats. It’s also why films could have wacky or flimsy or messy or risky plots because the focus was on the actors, and it’s why star studded cast films were so common then.
The 2000s were actually more likely the beginning of the death of the movie star. The golden age would probably be around the eighties or somewhere like that. I personally think that the idea of the movie star is a bit antithetical to the idea of telling an immersive story onscreen, since people only see the actor not the character. And yes, I got that from Bo Burnham.

I think this would be the perfect time to say: A few years ago I started reading the Harry Potter Books, and I ordered them from Thrift books. In my copy of Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire there was a ticket for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle at some theatre in Abacoa, Florida for the realse weekend in 2003. I do not know what this means, but the circle has been complete. I can retire. Thanks Mike.
I never realized as a kid that Charlie's Angels are hitmen hired by a billionaire. Like they are basically glorified mafia 💅. Still slay though. Especially, Lucy! And that scene with Drew where she's on a race track with her valuables out made me realize something about myself.
Mostly what I’ve learned from this video is that Mike has not only never SEEN the sound of music, but also somehow never knew that its SEVERAL famous and deeply-pop-culture-entrenched songs were FROM it??? Truly I love this man 😂
Charlie’s angels 2000 was a moment for 5 year old me. I watched it for years I swear. Made myself an obstacle course in the living room around my parents and went about my missions. I feel like maybe it wasn’t quite appropriate looking back
Growing up in the 2000s was all about being a spy!! Spy kids and Charlie's Angels were my favourite movies, it was all so stupid and I loved it! I made my parents do a "secret passage" in our house, it was this little door in the cupboard that led to the laundry and another from the laundry to the garage, lol. I went absolutely nuts playing spies with it.
the amount of times i would watch full throttle, alone, in my room at 10 years old 😭 somehow I’m straight (i think) but hoooooo boy i still love the club scene LMAO
Omfg me too I remember watching that that strip club seen on repeat when I was little it's so embarrassing to think of because my parents had to rewind every time
I was talking to my mother and told her I love the Charlie’s Angels movie. She said it didn’t make sense and was terrible and that the second was worse. I didn’t have the vocabulary to explain why that’s part of the appeal. Then this masterpiece of a Charlie’s Angels deep dive appears in my notifications. I’ll have to send this to her so she can understand how these movies are peak comedy
I was the opposite of Mike. I had an UNHEALTHY obsession with the 1970s show (like, owned multiple box sets and watched them constantly. I was 11). If you like camp, damn that’s the series for you. They pull a heist, in BROAD GODDAMN DAYLIGHT, and they’re all wearing like, sexy black cat burglar outfits. In the middle of the day. So so dumb. I love it.
i'm so glad that someone else has mentioned being scared/weirded out by older media. i think there's something about the film grain that used to just make me immediately say no if i encountered it. i've thankfully kind of grown out of it now, but that's almost only because i grew up in the 90s, and seeing some of that now, it's all film grain.
as a mongolian-american, TO THIS DAY the only time i’ve seen in western media actual mongolian people speaking actual mongolian and not chinese or straight up gibberish has been in “Loki” that coupled with the fact that mongolia’s almost always depicted as this backwards, foreign land filled with barbarians has always made me have a grudge against full throttle even though i did like the rest of it
My good friend did the Peace Corps on Mongolia with his wife...they loved it so much that after grad school, they packed up their lives in America and moved back there permanently. (Or at least, they're still there a decade later.) They talked so highly of Mongolia that I'm now obsessed with visiting.
these movies were so integral for my childhood and idk if you covering them gave me a feeling of nostalgia or brought back my ptsd of creepy thin man bc that clip of him on the roof sniffing hair is permanently engrained in my brain he used to terrorise me in my dreams back then and I still think about him from time to time
Charlie’s Slayngels did the impossible. It first attracted me because of the incredible gay campiness it possessed, but made me stay because I realised how I was attracted to all 3 of the main girlies. Amazing
Mike you've literally crawled into my brain and plucked this video topic from it. I JUST purchased both of these absolute slay movies after remembering that they absolutely shaped my girl boss bimbo queen spy slay fantasies of who I would become. I literally can't thank you enough ahahahahaha
8:38 Tim Curry makes movies more iconic by simply existing. Also, ngl I’ve tried that whole standing massage that Lucy Liu gives and it’s quite the cultural reset.
First, thin man is a term used for mysterious bad guys going back to film noir and mystery novels. Has nothing to do with the body type. Yes, Kelly Garrett was the OG Angel and the only actress and character to stay for the entire run of the serious. Her name is Jaclyn Smith. She made some pretty okay clothes for either K-Mart or Walmart back in the day. As someone who has watched all seasons of the original Charlie's Angels, I must point out that part of the "unseriousness," camp, and unrealistic nature of the movies is a call back to the original series. It was meant to be stupid and fun. Seasons 4 and 5 of the original series made zero sense, was about the sex appeal, and was trying so hard to be serious that it wasn't serious. The ridiculousness is what made it fun and ishow the movie is. If you're a fan of the show, you can find legitimate copies of scenes from the series in the movie that seems to have no point - but they do, to pay homage to the series. Those random scenes in the opening credits are to show the undercover roles they've taken up, especially some that go back to the original series or why they were chosen. Peep the scene of them being chained together, that is a call back to the pilot of the show. The nun scene goes back to a season 4 episode. Another important part of the show was that the Angels always get caught and have to break cover - because extra drama. Remember, this show was originally produced by the master of camp drama TV, Aaron Spelling. The cars, as well, were a major of the series and they even retained that in the movie. The racecar scene is a major plot point throughout the show because Farrah Fawcett's character, Jill Munroe, left the agency (and the show, but for other reasons) to race cars in Europe. I really do commend Drew Barrymore for holding true to so much of the original. PS Willis is in this movie because Demi Moore got him the role. Maybe not got, but asked for him. PSS During the jump, Madison slams the gun into the wall. It's rather distracting but funny.
I remember hearing the criticism of these movies as a teenager. And like understanding it. But also as a little girl? I thought those three were so amazing. They were heroes.
I think he's name the Creepy Thin Man because there was a series of old movies from the 40s called the Thin Man, where the Thin man wore a lot of dapper suits and had slicked back hair. So he's a creepy version of that. Not that I've actually seen the Thin Man. I like my old Movies to be bizarre. Like a Movie where a little girl no joke gleefully says "I saw a hobo get shot this morning and the blood spurted out 5 feet!" (This surprisingly being the Holiday classic, Meet me in St Louis.)
Yeah... it's actually kind of confusing - the original film you are referring to is called The Thin Man because the murder mystery involves confusion over the weight of a murder victim that is discovered - it's not referring to the protagonist detective as the "Thin Man" but people began associating it with the protag as they kept making sequels and including the phrase "Thin Man" in the title even though he really wasn't thin.
The biggest plot hole to me is, didn’t Charlie to a background check on Eric Knox, and figure it was that double agents kid, who may or may not want to have Charlie killed? But I was 13 when the first movie came out and I loved it. I even remember getting the dvd in some meal deal with Pizza Hut. I even choreographed a dance to independent woman inspired by the movies and performed it in a dance competition
This is 100% the film that made me Bi and therefore it can do no wrong. This shit was my entire personality for like a decade... They're everything to me
These movies were high school me’s -obsession-!! Demi in the swimsuit with the fur as Edwyn Collins plays is forever rent free in my head. Iconiccccc. Song is still one of my faves!
The memories of playing Charlie's Angels on the playground at recess in elementary school and arguing over who gets to be wich angel after watching this at a sleepover. I WAS 8. The early 2000's were insane
I remember watching the movies and loving them (especially the iconic cameos in the second movie) but it took me a while to figure out that Sam Rockwell is in the first movie and he’s aged like fine wine.
I keep referring to you to my boyfriend as “you know the Australian guy who’s gossip girl video I won’t stop showing you clips of because I love his unmatched ability to string together the best combination of words in the English vernacular?” And subsequently quoting you
Not me demanding that you do a video on Pulp Fiction in this format because I need this energy applied to it immediately. Plus the fact that Quentin Tarantino is like your arch nemesis when it comes to feet in film philosophy…

Ooo what a lovely surprise to see you cover these fun movies. Would love if you did a video about Josie and The Pussycats from 2001, I think that’s a satirical masterpiece way before it’s time.
Full throttle slays too hard! I love the car wash end credits scene 🤓 this is imprinted in my memory because Journey’s “Any way you want it” would be a little wonky as the videotape started to get old and fuzzy lol

Remember, this show was originally produced by the master of camp drama TV, Aaron Spelling. The cars, as well, were a major of the series and they even retained that in the movie. The racecar scene is a major plot point throughout the show because Farrah Fawcett's character, Jill Munroe, left the agency (and the show, but for other reasons) to race cars in Europe. I really do commend Drew Barrymore for holding true to so much of the original.
PS Willis is in this movie because Demi Moore got him the role. Maybe not got, but asked for him.
PSS During the jump, Madison slams the gun into the wall. It's rather distracting but funny.
a trio that will NEVER be beaten
I remember hearing the criticism of these movies as a teenager. And like understanding it. But also as a little girl? I thought those three were so amazing. They were heroes.
I think he's name the Creepy Thin Man because there was a series of old movies from the 40s called the Thin Man, where the Thin man wore a lot of dapper suits and had slicked back hair. So he's a creepy version of that. Not that I've actually seen the Thin Man. I like my old Movies to be bizarre. Like a Movie where a little girl no joke gleefully says "I saw a hobo get shot this morning and the blood spurted out 5 feet!" (This surprisingly being the Holiday classic, Meet me in St Louis.)
Yeah... it's actually kind of confusing - the original film you are referring to is called The Thin Man because the murder mystery involves confusion over the weight of a murder victim that is discovered - it's not referring to the protagonist detective as the "Thin Man" but people began associating it with the protag as they kept making sequels and including the phrase "Thin Man" in the title even though he really wasn't thin.
I feel like that was way too niche a reference for the audience of the movie!
The thin man IS bizarre. You’d love it. And yes I also love MMISL
And also the Thin Man title refers to the murder victim in the first movie of the series? Not the detective/PI?
I just want to say it’s bizarre that you said this so confidently when you’ve never seen the movie and don’t know what you’re talking about hahah
everytime sam rockwell plays a kunty villain a decade is added onto my life cos i eat it up EVERY TIME
You gotta watch "F is For Family" where he voices Bill Burr's neighbor
So happy to see the return of Mike’s Mic serving and slaying 🔥
The biggest plot hole to me is, didn’t Charlie to a background check on Eric Knox, and figure it was that double agents kid, who may or may not want to have Charlie killed?
But I was 13 when the first movie came out and I loved it. I even remember getting the dvd in some meal deal with Pizza Hut. I even choreographed a dance to independent woman inspired by the movies and performed it in a dance competition
The “oh wey oh wey oh” when someone dies never fails to get me
This is 100% the film that made me Bi and therefore it can do no wrong. This shit was my entire personality for like a decade... They're everything to me
Mike’s Mic and Lucy Liu together is the slay of the century
THANK YOU for pointing out Drew’s “moonwalk”!!! It’s bothered me for decades!!
THESE, in fact, ARE the movies we DESERVE
This theme of embracing the cheesiness & camp in the sequel is exactly the reason why I also love Sonic 2 lolol
The sink metaphor is the single-handedly the most convincing ad read I’ve ever heard
These movies were high school me’s -obsession-!! Demi in the swimsuit with the fur as Edwyn Collins plays is forever rent free in my head. Iconiccccc. Song is still one of my faves!
everything mike does, he does it A1, flawless, makes us go insane, pandemonium RIOT
this is the comment I was looking for
YESSSS U GET IT
He do be SAUCIN’. 🎉
Thank youuuuuu
YEAH WE RIDIN WE RIDIN WE RIDIN ON UP
this video reminded me that i’m overdue for a rewatch and NEED one more charlie’s angels with these three women again before the world ends
The memories of playing Charlie's Angels on the playground at recess in elementary school and arguing over who gets to be wich angel after watching this at a sleepover. I WAS 8. The early 2000's were insane
I miss your random short format videos where you talked about random topics 🥺 But great video as always!
I was literally thinking about how I needed a new Mike's Mic video today😭
I love that you imply that these movies don’t look old. That makes me feel less old myself.
Mike recapping the best movie of my childhood, slay!!
omg you absolutely need to watch The Mummy movies with Brendan Fraiser. and its not an old movie either lol
I remember watching the movies and loving them (especially the iconic cameos in the second movie) but it took me a while to figure out that Sam Rockwell is in the first movie and he’s aged like fine wine.
The way I got back into these movies just to see you made a video about them is so crazy
I keep referring to you to my boyfriend as “you know the Australian guy who’s gossip girl video I won’t stop showing you clips of because I love his unmatched ability to string together the best combination of words in the English vernacular?”
And subsequently quoting you
Much like Chris Fleming, Mike just somehow says more words per word than the rest of us. He has access to English Plus Early Access.
Wouldn't just calling him Mike's Mic make it a lot easier on you 🤣
Not me demanding that you do a video on Pulp Fiction in this format because I need this energy applied to it immediately. Plus the fact that Quentin Tarantino is like your arch nemesis when it comes to feet in film philosophy…
i know u don’t do old movies but mikes mic sound of music would be a major slay 🤷♀️
waitttttt you're so right
Omg you glazed right over that Owen Wilson cameo, supporting his brother Luke (bar guy/Natalie’s bf) in the clip with Alex talking to the cop.
Wow ur timing is amazing
I have found the YT channel for me! I love nonsensical, over-analytical analysing movies. You do such a great job and I laugh constantly. You make such great reactions and ask the true hard hitting questions. I love it!!
Every new Mike's mic vid is just iconic... like I can't describe it but I will be rewatching this 50 times in the next 2 days just living rent free in my head until I can recite it like the first hour of the PLL recap
omg xg intro ur taste never fails
This video was made for every version of me, from the past to the future. Thank you Michael Microphone for your service🙏
Ooo what a lovely surprise to see you cover these fun movies.
Would love if you did a video about Josie and The Pussycats from 2001, I think that’s a satirical masterpiece way before it’s time.
Full throttle slays too hard! I love the car wash end credits scene 🤓 this is imprinted in my memory because Journey’s “Any way you want it” would be a little wonky as the videotape started to get old and fuzzy lol
Drew Barrymore truly is a gift that we don’t deserve
As someone who has never watched Charlie's Angels, hMike describing the beginning of the 2nd one had me in tears OMG😭😭
Mike, not truly focusing in on Sam Rockwell's dance sequences is criminal tbh.
the chipettes WISHED they were as iconic as the angels
I’m loving the audio epiphanies!!
Mike’s videos are always the best. Truly an icon of our time. SLAY QUEEEEEEENNNNN!
mike can i just say how refreshing AND comforting it is to hear a melbourne accent on youtube, im not a new viewer or anything but yeah
I literally love every video Mike puts out, he always delivers and I always eat
This video is exactly what I needed 🙏 thanks king for coming back when my essay is due
Mike you have been feeeeeeding us lately THANK YOU
literally got immersive vivid memory of the pll series when you made the death sound at 13:03
I’m BEGGING for Drew Barrymore to ditch her ellen era and start producing movies again. I MISS REAL MOVIES!!! PLS DREW UR OUR ONLY HOPE 🙏🙏🙏
Ellen era 💀
it’s is CRAZY that u always do videos about my favorite tv shows and movies….
Charlie’s Angels gave as much 2000’s movies energy, as MikesMic is giving 27 💅✨
the simon says scene is forever cemented in my mind, will never not think of it when i hear it
Aaaaand introducing… once again… the highlight of my week….. Mike reviewing *insert quintessential movie series* for everyone’s enjoyment
Mike I just had a vision of you reviewing all of greys anatomy and it was beautiful. PLEASE
