Yeah I find amongst the "bad movie" fans that movies like this are excluded often because it is so out there.

I think it's mostly you have to be acclimated to this sort of stuff and have a built in appreciation for the medium. Especially nowadays, even with a lot of weird shit on TikTok/YouTube, it still doesn't really compare to exploitative movies that feature a narrative and actors and weird subject matter that is taken seriously, so it is a bit out there for people.

A movie is mostly just supposed to be a fun blockbuster, not a miserable nightmare full of weird things.

I would say so. I think there's a limit to how awful/strange a bad movie can be before it becomes something repulsive. This kind of hits that, though I guess it's maybe not as bad as it "could be"? I'm sure they're only showing the "ok" clips for YouTube though.

yeah, would probably compare it to Mad Foxes or something that is so bizarre it becomes uncomfortable for many 😂

Here is the ending of The Baby:

TWO BABIES

"They fail to steal Baby back, however, as Ann—with the help of her mother-in-law—kills them all. She stabs Baby's two sisters, then buries Mrs. Wadsworth alive (alongside the corpses of her daughters) beneath the floor of a swimming pool that Ann had been building in her yard.

In the end, Ann's interests in obtaining Baby are revealed to have not been as pure-hearted as they seemed. Now that she has him, she no longer wants to rescue or rehabilitate him; she sought him only so he could be a playmate for her husband, who was left with the mental capacity of an infant after his accident. Thus, under Ann's care, Baby will remain trapped in his state of dependency and infancy, but under the kinder care of Ann and her mother-in-law, with Ann's husband as his "brother."

Okay, that's an amazing ending.

Wow! I think with a bit better execution, this film could've been a real big cult classic.

Knock on wood, but it's pretty incredible how long RLM have been around with the three original crew still around. No one has left, they haven't sold the company, they haven't compromised , they continue to do what they do.

I think the secret to that longevity is actually doing the opposite of what some other channels do and you can kind of tell the other channel frustrations by covering everything, and not feeling it at all.

And as much as I would like to see them cover certain movies sometimes it's just best to wait till the end of the year or mid-year type review.

I use this example a lot but there was a lot of push back with Double Toasted with the way they covered series where they would make a judgment based upon the three episodes they saw but never go back to see the rest. And recently on their subreddit and recent video with that whole rapper beef they clearly had no idea what was going on but decided to put their noses into it...

Sometimes it's better off just to talk about things that you want to talk about. Like I have a small side channel I've started with little plushies I review but I'm only doing it once a week cuz I don't want to do anything crazy. I frankly don't care only 10 people see it.

RLM is also one of the only content creators I can think of that basically stopped producing their cash cow product (Plinkett Reviews) and successfully created an audience that accepts their other movie talk shows.

While it seems like the views overall are a little down from their heydays of about 4 million per video, they also have almost 10k paying Patreon members today. Hopefully this is enough to keep the three fully employed by the channel. I assume Jack and the others feat on videos for free?

I imagine they're doing fine with all the fucking movie props they keep buying and letting get destroyed for jokes.

I knew who Roger Corman was, but didn't really understand why he was so good at what he did until RLM. RIP.

Corman is a legend, he made so many careers and gave us so many gems on a shoestring budget. And then on top of that, a love for cinema that was infectious any time he talked. Rest in peace, good buddy!

Yeah the "Patron Saints of Trash" would look a lot different than "RLM AllStars" I'd say 😂

Roger Corman, Charles Band, Ed Wood, Lloyd Kaufman etc are the real heroes but not really RLM hits like Neil Breen, Cameron Mitchell, Leo Fong, Monique Gabrielle and John De Hart 🤔

How many Corman movies did RLM even cover? I remember maybe one or two? Seems like someone they don't really go into that much for the actual movies even though they talk about him a lot

Looking over imdb titles that I recognize from rlm reviews that Corman is credited to in some way.

Space Raiders
Deathstalker
Chopping Mall
Deathstalker 2
The New Gladiators
Ultra Warrior
Carnosaur
The Skateboard Kid
The Fantastic Four
Carnosaur 2
Spacejacked

This doesn't count stuff like Little Shop of Horrors, The Unborn, or Piraña which were mentioned in passing in other discussions.

Oh shit, they worked themselves into a shoot!

It's a really good movie. The wrestling nerd in me knows they could have gone harder (the real story is even more depressing if you could believe it), but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I remember seeing some complaining about the missing brother. I was like, "No, your really don't require that.". The full story is out there if you need it. This film does a great job setting the table for the non-wrestling folk and had just the most brutal scene I saw in a film last year.

I recently watched ironclaw with my brother we were discussing the whole thing of why it wasn't nominated for awards and it just came down to honestly it's one of those stories that even though they did tone down and everything that happened it just wouldn't have been a type of feel bad movie that would work.

The academy only recommends those with Holocaust movies or you know slave and exploitative movies. Got to make those rich people you know feel guilty about themselves... For two hours c:
