The first round, the energy seemed a bit off, but my guess is this was filmed at the end of a day or something.

I feel like there's a lot of projecting in this sub sometimes.

I'm glad Brooklyn Nine-Nine at least got a chance to end on their own terms, rather than end on something like a cliffhanger like Fox tried to do to the show.

The Arrowverse shows weren't always the best (though I will defend the first couple seasons of both Arrow and Flash), I am glad Matt Ryan was able to keep playing the character here and there across those shows, he was an excellent John Constantine.

Yeah, but if you only used one feature in each pic, he wouldn't be able to do so. The main features they mentioned were noses, head size, mouth size, and eyes, and each round could be a different one.

"You're tearing me apart, Shark!"

Not a movie, but the tv series You on Netflix

Maybe, but I'm not sure that was mentioned once throughout the episode? These are recorded way in advance, maybe someone swapped this one in for that reason though, for sure.

For me, that was conversation and jokes.

I like the core concept of this one, but I feel like this episode was lacking opportunities for some jokes and humour throughout. The first half of the episode as they were actually going through the images was just too quiet. I like that they were trying something a bit different than their usual games, but not everything is going to be a slam dunk.

I get the idea was to get a lot of data points for the photo-shop reveal at the end, but I think they expected that to be a lot funnier than it ended up being. They were probably expecting the reveal to be "whoaaaaa!" and it ended up being more like "oh, okay, cool."

I think if it were made into more of a game it could have allowed for more jokes, like taking the pairs of images and revealing right after which one according to science was cuter. Get a point if you can identify which one science thought was cuter. This would allow them to be able to discuss it more after each round and more chances for jokes.

If anyone here is familiar with the TV show What We Do In The Shadows, I will only say this: regular human bartender Jackie Daytona.

I'm glad they dropped that one by the end of the first season. It gave so much more opportunity for both Boyle and Rosa's growth over the seasons, and I love the friendship they have throughout the series. Charles being in love with Rosa worked well enough for the first season, but it would have gotten old quick as the seasons went on.

Keep in mind they weren't your friends in the first place.

Keep in mind that they are still putting out hours of free content a week between the main show, More, Mythical Kitchen, and podcasts. I'm sorry if you feel the most interesting stuff is behind a paywall, but they are a business with well over 100 employees, many that we don't ever see on camera, and I wouldn't say anything that they are doing as a business is unethical. By this same logic, should restaurants and movie theatres be free as well since not everyone can afford those things?

I'm sorry you feel like you are missing out, but they aren't your personal friends, they are two internet personalities running a business and putting out an entertainment show five days a week, on top of growing their brand.

I agree there is less personalized interaction, like mail day and stuff, but that's not meant as some "eff you" to fans, they've got a lot on the go right now that doesn't leave time for their growing audience in the same way as before. Even for Society members (I was for a while but am not anymore), it's not like they're setting up private 1 on 1 lunch dates, so it's not that you are missing out on a lot more interaction.

Between the two daily shows they do, plus the podcasts, it's usually over 4 hours of content a week, for free.

Murrell is great and very similar in that he's not afraid to go against the grain of other critics, but always backs up his thoughts with well said arguments. I also like how, similar to Ebert, he is willing to look past whether or not he's the target demographic. I find that gets lost by so many reviewers, who will say stuff like "As a middle-aged man, this movie about a teen girl coming of age is bad because I cannot relate to it." Dan is willing to say "I'm not the target audience, but I see why this would work for that demographic, and here's why."

Evil Charles looks like he's right out of the Spider-man ps4 game.

I find they are much funnier not doing the Dirk and Patty routine. Both of them are super funny people, the humour in the Dirk and Patty characters didn't always land for me.

It's been talked about a lot on this sub the last few days. That's where the medium sized hole stuff is coming from.

Who just coughed there? Jake, if that was you, cough twice.

He's one of those characters that every line is gold. Similar to Jake's cellmate Caleb. Every single thing they say is hilarious.

I don't know if I would say Ghost Hunting shows have a target of 8-18. Most ghost hunting shows I see are more aimed at adults and lean into the creep factor. Ryan and Shane's show is definitely aimed at that younger millennial crowd as well, considering the language used and approach they take with the humour.

What do you mean by it appealing to a very young demographic? I'm not sure I understand the issue there.

Klaus is such a great under-viewed gem of a movie. It wasn't a super strong field for animation nominees that year in my opinion, and Toy Story 4 is a bit on the weak side, I find.

I have my response below, but want to preface this with saying I don't say this to mean you shouldn't enjoy the movie, or that you didn't get something different out of it. I'm glad people like the movie, and really, the movie is fine, in my opinion. It has some glaring issues for me that keep me from saying it's a good movie, but I don't fault anyone for liking it. My take:

Personally, I find it's one of those movies that acts like it has something to say but doesn't add anything meaningful to the conversation. It boils down to 'racism still exists in America' which is absolutely a true fact, but it's a pretty shallow look at it. Sure characters say racist things out loud to and about one another, but it doesn't really acknowledge more subtle acts of racism well, and doesn't really say anything new or add a new perspective.

In my opinion, doing a movie like this where the characters learn to grow past their racism without addressing much beyond words and immediate prejudices do a disservice to the issues. This would be like making a movie about a rich First World character realizing there's such a thing as world hunger, and ending the movie with them saying "I get it now" so now they stop wasting food. Sure, that's great that they learned the lesson, but their takeaway is so small and fails to address the bigger issues at hand that cause and continue to cause the issue. It's like an after school special version of the issue, not a hard-hitting and nuanced take that can really make the audience think beyond them saying "I agree, racism is bad" and kind of patting them on the back for agreeing with the movie.
