I'm with Mike on the love for Rocketeer, I saw it in the theater when it came out in '91, a great primer for pulp adventure heroes. The clips (and the corresponding James Horner music cues) featured in this RE-View still give me chills. Wish they would have put the iconic art deco teaser poster in the back of this video:
I have that poster framed on my wall.
I remember seeing the Rocketeer. I remember the act of going to the theatre and seeing it with my family on summer vacation.
But I remember literally nothing about the movie. Which is amazing because Jennifer Connelly was apparently in it and my brain should have at least remembered that.

Probably the best movie poster of all time.
I remember seeing Rocketeer a long time ago and thought it was fine but had no strong feelings about it. It's interesting to hear from people who love it so much, even having already known RLM loves that movie.
It's so weird they mention Iron Man but don't mention Captain America considering it's directed by Joe Johnston and basically seems like a big homage to the Rocketeer.
Watched Us last so I can finally watch their review.

That may be what I'm thinking of. I'm sure I'll watch it again.
Yeah I'm in the same boat, I remember that I watched it when I was a kid but don't remember anything about the movie besides what The Rocketeer looked like. I enjoyed the re:View, maybe I'll have to rewatch it sometime.
I kind of forgot that there's a respectable Captain America (and had no idea that the director also did Rocketeer), so in my head I was thinking of Best of the Worst and this gem.
Got to admit, I would have preferred to find out that the Rocketeer faked illness multiple times to steal some poor bystander's car.
Mike and Rich made it through a 40 minute video of the Rocketeer without once mentioning that the star of the film was in a Star Trek episode, and was almost cast as Commander Riker...
I did mean to ask that (as i haven't watched the episode) the other day. I'm quite surprised they (especially Mike) didn't.
You say that like you're talking about an old man in a nursing home who everyone is just too exasperated with to do anything about.
I'm ashamed they didn't bring up Billy Campbell starring as Clint Webber in Frasier as the "Perfect Man" that drives Frasier nuts.
That big project was their VHS Collection. So keep your expectations in check for whatever this new big project is.
Oh...
I appreciate that as going far for the sake of a joke but I couldn't have given less of a shit. Okay, [insert shrug gif here].
Also not to dredge up the Captain Marvel stuff again, but I've now seen the movie and finally watched their review and yeah, they just seemed a little butthurt about white dudes being called out, but also they were right about the movie. It's kinda blegh. As a script that needed to be made in the editing, it failed in the editing. The "Just a Girl" and "Come as You Are" drops were waaaay too on the nose and super lame and pandering. There's a better way to make this sort of movie.
I guess I'd say I'm interested in where Carol is going to fit into the movies from here on out as a sort of Superman figure since Evans and RDJ are stepping back, but this movie was kinda lame and didn't really land.
the best part of Captain Marvel is that she wears a Nine Inch Nails shirt in it. That's the good shit right there. (I haven't seen the movie or their review.)
I'd guess the big project is a Star Wars Celebration parody/skit. That seems on brand and they made fun of it in the past.

Shazam is a proper great film and easily the best DCEU film. Nice to see they both really enjoyed it. Similar to the two hack frauds I love how dark it got for a "kids film". It gets really fucked up at a few points and Mark Strong is clearly having a blast playing that bad guy.
His performance (and his sunglasses) reminded me a bit of Alfred Molina in Spider-Man 2.
They're being really transparent lately in these videos between the Last Jedi joke, the "it'll satisfy the Twitter mobs" comment surrounding one of the characters' sexuality, and the Captain Marvel review.
Anyway, I should see Shazam before Endgame comes out.

RLM is just recognising and joking about the current problems with online discourse and major budget films trying too hard using diversity as a marketing bullet point. The whole channel is just dumb comedy film analysis with an edge to it. I take issue with shows like South Park that bring up the same points only to go 'eh' about them with no attempt to make said issues better.
Edit: Also, Holdo is fucking awesome for her suicide manoeuvre. It's the best Star Wars moment in all the films for me.

I think that's giving them a little too much credit. Though it's always fun when Mike lapses into grumpy middle aged white man mode and Jay immediately reins him back in.
I liked Shazam, nothing amazing really but good enough.
It's so weird to see David Sanberg going from making a short to making Hollywood movies haha.

Eh. I wanted Holdo to live and Leia to pull the kamikaze trick.
Did they like it? Work doesn't have WiFi so I can't watch at the moment
For the new page; the villain reminded me a lot of Alfred Molina in Spider-Man 2.
There's also a scene in a board room that reminded me of the hospital sequence from the same movie, in that I was immediately reminded "oh yeah, this director made horror movies before this."

Just saw the movie and that scene stuck out at me. Of course he was a horror movie director. Charming film, too.
