Implying the majority on that list wasn’t trash also. At least RLM is entertaining trash.

Haven't seen it but I remember reading about The Ice Pirates in a book about cult movies years ago.
It reminds me a lot of Buckaroo Banzai, must have been something in the water to lead to more than one low budget sci fi comedy in 1984.

They can call themselves trash, but lets be honest here....
Half in the Bag and Best of the Worst are way better shows than everything else on that list.

It's a cultural felony that if they actually did go up against Jimmy Kimmel then Kimmel would 99% win when he doesn't deserve to have rotten asparagus thrown at him from a food truck, much less an Emmy.

> Rich Evans was able to leave behind a nostalgic property from his youth, that was already trash and forgettable
> Why can't you leave other properties behind?
I can't quite connect the dots on this one.

Rich moreso than Mike is better at dumping nostalgiaboner shows that have gotten terrible remakes/sequels/prequels/shit. He was perfectly fine with never doing a single nuTrek re:view ever again. For Mike, it feels to me that this is one of the only legit things he can't let go and unless he'd be willing to do a 10 hour long Plinkett for a single season of nuTrek that was airing or rope Jay or Josh or Jack, who don't care about the property, into sitting down with him, he has to get Rich involved somehow. And they are besties, so why would Rich say no to Mike's pain.> Hollywood keeps insisting on remaking nostalgic properties

Honestly, The Picard Plinkett review was underwhelming. Picard had way more wrong with it than even ST: D. First of all, SIR Patrick Stewart outright sucked as the character that got him knighted in the first place, shitty French accent scene aside. Remember when Plinkett made cracks at how Marina Sirtis forgot how to play Troi? The same thing happened with Patrick Stewart. Even Old Man Picard in All Good Things had manic energy and passion. Which matters when the whole draw is to see his final performance.
The premise itself is just discount Firefly, but the ensemble cast melt into the background by lacking the charm to cover up their scoundrel characters. Which is bad since they're supposed to carry on in later seasons since no one should expect Stewart to be in the next season, which makes putting Picard into the body of an old man android ridiculous from a production standpoint. They had the perfect excuse to recast and then didn't. It also somehow managed to flanderize Seven of Nine even though no one asked for her to come back in the first place.
The episode order is also messed up which we can see in the first Riker & Troi episode. It actually makes more narrative sense to move that episode to the first one to explain why the Rikers can't help and to build up Picard's relationship to Dahj/Soji/whoever. That way, there's some emotional impact to Dahj's death in the real episode 1. Not that it would fix season 1 as it's fundamentally broken, but at least try to get the pieces in the right order.

I think the issue with the Picard review is that Mike already talked in length with Rich about how bad the other episodes were.

There is that, but it needed to be compiled into a Plinkett video format like the TPM review. The consequences of the Star Wars Plinkett reviews aside, those reviews did put together the general complaints about TPM into a 70 minute review.

Honestly I think the Picard Plinkett video happened because Rich dropped Picard halfway through and Mike was really pissed off. So it probably wasn't intending to be a plinkett video from the beginning

To be fair, old man Picard was played by a man in his prime. Not a tired old man like the old man playing old man Picard now.

It's not that long ago that he just had a pretty damn good performance in Green Room too, so it's no excuse.
He's pulling a tail end Cameron Mitchell and just collecting a check.

I don't think Stewart had a bad performance in ST: Picard, the show is great on a technical level.
It's just that Alex Kurtzman and Akiva Goldsman are the main writers and they blow dick.

Since I can't find the specific scene itself, I'll just link the RLM review of the episode. As one example, I refer to the scene where the Romulan Senator berates and challenges Picard to a sword fight. Picard gives out a mealy-mouth response of how he tried to help them and says "The Federation failed you all." The Senator wasn't having any of that and then demands satisfaction and Picard throws his sword down in protest. How was Picard not in character? Well, if you were acting like a belligerent ass, he has no problem cussing you out, or making threats, veiled or otherwise. Why? Pacing and leading. What's he doing in Picard? The exact opposite. In fact, it's worse because Picard is trying to appease whoever is berating him at that moment. The show is filled with Picard getting yelled at by someone and instead of using his persuasion skills to calm the situation down, he just sits and takes it. That's a fundamental failure of Picard's character and diplomacy in general. Stewart is not in character, ergo he is performing badly.

It's this particular case that gets under my skin, just a little. Rich is able to forget about Ice Pirates of all things so why can't everyone else forget about Star Trek/Wars/etc.?
I mean, been there, done that. But still, it feels dishonest, in a way, like gaslighting or some kind of strawman. Trying to seem above the whole apple outrage scene by using an orange as an example. A really old, rotten orange. One where half of it has turned blue and started to sag.
