2023 Catch-Up
Added 2023-11-25 13:59:05 +0000 UTCIt's that time of year again. The time where we strain to remember anything about any of the movies we've watched this year. 2023 Catch-Up episode of Half in the Bag coming soon! It'll most likely be 2 parts? I think?

Just popping in to say I love RLM and will sell you guys the rights to my book for a chance to meet Rich Evans. I will then sue.

2023-12-02 18:37:11 +0000 UTCI hope you review the Creator. It was not perfect, but used innovative techniques using $5000 cameras from Best Buy, but in gorgeous locations and somehow still top notch CGI on an $80 million budget. 4/5 for me and first original Sci-Fi I have seen in theaters for years. Nobody was in my theatre when I saw it, which was weird, but apparently broke even! Oh wait Mike hated rogue one never mind…

whos a big winner
2023-11-28 05:55:27 +0000 UTCIt’s so true. I’ve said it on here before, but it’s everything that Mike likes. Adults making a plan to get out of a situation.

2023-11-28 01:26:03 +0000 UTCOh, it’ll be The Barbie Awakens with a 55 year old Margot Robbie complaining to Old and Ugly Betty about how she hasn’t worked in two decades. It’ll make a billion dollars, which will be worth about $8.32 thanks to inflation. It will be the biggest movie of the year in theaters, which are housed in the back of 7/11s
Banta
2023-11-28 01:23:07 +0000 UTCIf Actar wants to review Barbie...they will review Barbie. If Actar wants The Batman...they will make it so. Actar commands, we follow.

2023-11-27 22:48:34 +0000 UTCI look forward to the Barbie reboot.

2023-11-27 20:16:41 +0000 UTCFinally I can see all the movies I didn't watch and probably never will.
Cory Pedigo
2023-11-27 20:16:01 +0000 UTCYes. There is no other, starker contrast I can think of than to compare the brightness and fun of D&D to the utterly dark, slimy cynicism of the three-part Hobbit movies. The Hobbit movies shouted "We hate you, audiences." The D&D movie told us pretty clearly that it loved us.

2023-11-27 13:41:02 +0000 UTCHate those guys who tell you that you have to watch Andor. Also... you have to watch Andor.
L. J.
2023-11-27 08:46:44 +0000 UTCAt least it was a good movie. I'd watch it again.
Silentphil9
2023-11-27 07:29:10 +0000 UTCYes, at best D&D is going to be a break-even proposition and we won't get a sequel. But compared to Indiana Jones 5/Flash/Elemental/Marvels/Black Adam/Blue Beatle (and maybe Napoleon) and its a gem of cinema
Jeremy _
2023-11-26 18:10:54 +0000 UTCI’m sure they’ve been on Twitter at some point this year.
Banta
2023-11-26 17:08:57 +0000 UTCAnd D&D was a flop itself because for some reason they thought spending 150 million on a D&D movie was a prudent financial decision. You’re right though, what’s happened since then makes the D&D movie look like Titanic.
Banta
2023-11-26 17:08:00 +0000 UTCI hope one of you two saw Barbie because I feel out on an island thinking it was actually pretty bad. I’m not a hater, I went in thinking I’d like it, but it’s a mess. Looks good, the musical number near the end is fun, but the structure is completely screwed. The plot ends halfway through the movie! And the dialogue at times made my skin crawl. But aside from myself and my wife, I don’t know of anyone that doesn’t think it’s great.
Banta
2023-11-26 16:57:07 +0000 UTCFuck you, it's Ja- Hooray it's nearly December!
RY9UY
2023-11-26 02:14:36 +0000 UTCWait… Films came out in 2023?
Shane & Sam Skinner
2023-11-25 23:14:28 +0000 UTCWait, didn't they already make a Batman movie?
Jeremy _
2023-11-25 22:54:43 +0000 UTCA great year, when Disney/Marvel and DC's lunches were just absolutely gobbled by Barbie, Oppenheimer, Mario, and Dungeons and Dragons.
Jeremy _
2023-11-25 22:11:23 +0000 UTCReally fucking sick of people who won't shut up about Killers of the Flower Moon (for the historical events in it, that is). I READ BOOKS ABOUT THIS 25 YEARS AGO. THIS IS NOT NEWLY DISCOVERED INFORMATION. It's like encountering those stoners who once read Howard Zinn and now are Little Mr. History Professor.
Jeremy _
2023-11-25 22:04:20 +0000 UTCAgreed on the Holdovers, I think it was very similar to Red Rocket in terms of nuance/subtlety in characters and not beating the viewer over the head with any commentary, figure they will like it for similar reasons
Jayden Y
2023-11-25 22:03:45 +0000 UTCAny interest in revisiting Beau Is Afraid in this video? Even if Jay just gave his passing thoughts, I’d still appreciate hearing RLM’s perspective. Personally, it’s my favorite movie since The Lighthouse.

gopher00000 whatever
2023-11-25 20:43:48 +0000 UTCPut part 1 of 2 in the title, but never release a part 2.
The Real Zam
2023-11-25 20:12:00 +0000 UTCI hope this is a children’s suicide video.
The Real Zam
2023-11-25 20:10:43 +0000 UTCSaw X I hope?
Symbols
2023-11-25 20:01:11 +0000 UTCYes please
Syd Beretta
2023-11-25 19:56:48 +0000 UTCthat's my favorite part! The catch-ups, that is. I think this was not a particularly good year for movies though. Maybe the best I've seen was Past Lives.
Peter Varga
2023-11-25 19:44:50 +0000 UTCThrow them out the window, start again
Patrick Brennan
2023-11-25 19:42:17 +0000 UTCYeah, it was crazy that Tom Cruise action man went to space in that franchise.
Michael Parker
2023-11-25 19:35:58 +0000 UTCSame. This was gonna be my video to do dishes to. How am I gonna do the dishes now???
Aaron Nemoyten
2023-11-25 19:14:26 +0000 UTCI'd be more interested in Jay's review of Thankskilling. The Thanksgiving themed zombie turkey slasher. Extra internet points if he managed to get Mike and Rich to watch.

2023-11-25 18:53:26 +0000 UTCPraise Hell, Satan!
Lionel Mandrake
2023-11-25 18:48:10 +0000 UTCOh I forgot that came out this year! That was a fun one
Rhea
2023-11-25 18:42:51 +0000 UTCOh God I've watched like no new movies this year so I'm looking forward to what you guys are gonna cover. Asteroid City hopefully? I saw that one.
Rhea
2023-11-25 18:42:21 +0000 UTCI am neither an Eli Roth fan, however just the fact that he finally made a slasher based on his Fake Trailer from grindhouse after all these years is interesting to me
Syd Beretta
2023-11-25 18:14:00 +0000 UTCJust read the email headline and thought it was already out, I'm going to kill myself
Patrick Brennan
2023-11-25 16:29:13 +0000 UTCWill you be covering The Batman?
Justin Fiocca
2023-11-25 16:27:15 +0000 UTCGreat! I can add lots of films to my list
Abbe Fenna
2023-11-25 15:59:39 +0000 UTC"Dead Reckoning Part 1, Asteroid City" what a movie that was
Martin
2023-11-25 15:58:03 +0000 UTCWhat happened to that?
DonMac
2023-11-25 15:26:29 +0000 UTCI don't think they're Eli Roth fans based on what they said about him in the Cabin Fever Re:view.
Isaac Diaz
2023-11-25 15:23:14 +0000 UTCI hope Jay had had a chance to watch Thanksgiving, I saw it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. It may be the most competent thing that Eli Roth has ever directed, although I do have my issues with it.
Syd Beretta
2023-11-25 15:02:21 +0000 UTCI expect Mike to bring a folded piece of paper with notes and Jay to be there with a bottle of something to drink and giggle.
Andre K
2023-11-25 14:50:02 +0000 UTCAlways looking forward to your recommendations.
Nada Leona Sheppard
2023-11-25 14:35:13 +0000 UTCNot gonna lie, that's where I take most of the actual recommendations. Just teasing enough, having enough distance with the hype (or lack thereof) and just letting it sit for a while really leaves the quintessence of a movie's qualities, I guess.
Bill Wilson
2023-11-25 14:31:24 +0000 UTCI remember the Barbie-monolith from some video about the Barbie movie. That was at least something memorable.
Marvin Falz
2023-11-25 14:20:01 +0000 UTCIt balanced being aware of how ridiculous it was with also having some fun creative ideas. Way better than everyone was predicting!
FrogFood
2023-11-25 14:17:41 +0000 UTCFor real. M3gan was a glorious masterpiece in all the wrong ways.

Cruz Rivera
2023-11-25 14:11:33 +0000 UTCI will accept 10 parts if you have them lads
Joe Relihan
2023-11-25 14:09:59 +0000 UTCThe movies I’d love to see them talk about but probably won’t: Beau is Afraid, Talk To Me, Killers of the Flower Moon, The Killer, The Holdovers, Thanksgiving, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1, Asteroid City.
Michael Parker
2023-11-25 14:08:43 +0000 UTCHoping to see a shoutout for the new Dungeons and Dragons movie! I mean, Hugh Grant is no Jeremy Irons but it was a lot of fun!
Jacob A. Wright
2023-11-25 14:04:25 +0000 UTCHey guys, what happened to the Highlights channel?
Jazz Jackrabbit
2023-11-25 14:03:14 +0000 UTCSuper excited to see you guys talk about all the disappointment/apathy you've experienced this year
