There’s a clip in one of the BOTW videos, I think the one with the clown horror anthology, because they used a clip with Jack as a clown.
Pre-Rec is whatever as a review show. Their Order 1886 video is funny, but the rest is forgettable. I do remember hearing their Battletech video sucks hard though.
It's how I know the reason why he hates Star Wars is because people turn into Jedi. Which is the point of a lot of Star Wars media via the Hero's Journey. The motivation is because becoming a Jedi requires a belief in a higher power--the Force in this case--and it goes against his beliefs as an atheist. What really annoys me is when he just refuses to review this or that media such as OG KOTOR. First of all, it violates the improv acting ethos and second, the reason why normal people recommend media is because they like it and want to share that experience with others. So a blanket no for no reason is always annoying.
Being unable to get into Star Wars because the Force offends your Atheism is somehow even fucking gayer than when people do that because they're Christian.
It's also why he loves Ghostbusters, as it's a movie about science prevailing over the supernatural.
This nonsensical with relation to the Star Wars position. The existence of ghosts in Ghostbusters necessitates that the supernatural exists. It doesn't matter that they don't make themselves subservient to it, or even that they in some sense 'defeat it', it's there. Similar to Star Wars: Call it hokey religion all you want, it's not going to help when Vader's slamming you against the wall, look ma, no hands.
His point is that scientists figure out a way to trap and contain the supernatural using technology, not woo-woo magic.
That’s kind of a sad way to approach fantasy to me. Like, imagine if Tolkien let his faith block him from LOTR because of magic or creatures other than humans, instead of using his faith to aid his creation. His works would’ve been miserable.
A Sci-fi comedy action flick with an ensemble cast consisting of elderly people... You can't convince me that Mike hasn't been thinking about this for a long time now
Neat, that's a film I've never actually watched, but only caught little bits of on TV way way way waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back. And then never hunted down as an adult when I heard it was a musical. I'll look forward to that one.
I want a Mr Plinkett-esq rant on the fire in space.
