'Interstellar' also a one-word title about a man living inside the wall of a house.

Make Rich Evans live in a wall.

what i like is that mike makes jay laugh throughout the whole episode but when jay makes mike chuckle i can see that mike loves jay very much .

Kind of funny that the frame story for these reviews is Mike and Jay avoiding work, which is what I do when I watch them.

I can't believe they wore the duct tape shackles the entire time.

you could make a movie about some lady keeps hearing creepy sounds coming from the wall. then it turns out she lives in a duplex

There should be a sequel to The Inside named "The Yard". It could be a start of a new trend, horror movies hapening BEHIND the house.

Looks like Shut In was Shat Out. :/

Mike and Jay should make direct to dumpster horror movies.

Next time I do odd jobs for my neighbours, I'm going to say "Need any help with any YAAAAAAARD WOOOOORK????"

Old Grandma McGee and Redd Herring's scenes are some of Mike's best acting. Only his role as maniac chasing Jay through the studio outshines this award winning spectacular.

I want to see the Inside so badly now.

"I expected more of a 0%-Movie" - Jay Bauman 2016

This was my favorite movie of the year. And I'm not talking about Arrival, I'm talking about Mike's horror movie pitch.

What I love about Arrival is how you can follow the logic of the characters and the science. The twists do not feel like twists, even if it completely changes the context of the plot. One can reach these conclusions before the reveal, but it never feels obvious. Arrival is a movie that rewards paying attention.

Flip the script! A crazy but harmless rat man is living within the walls of his ancestral home. An obnoxious wealthy family moves in, and the rat man learns they're all plotting to kill each other and tear down the house. WHAAAAT WILL HE DOOOOO?!

I wonder if Mike has ever seen The Andromeda Strain (1972). He keeps saying he would like to see some pure science sci-fi movie. I think this one is pretty close.

Anyone else find Mike's fake horror film synopsis way more interesting then the actual movie(s)?

Mikes “The Inside” is basically the movie Barbarian😂

Mr.Herring deserves a spin off Netflix series in this new expanded universe property. Every season a new neighbor suspects him in spite of his good intentions. After multiple iterations of neighbors he desperately tries to bond with but they go insane/missing/die, the series culminates with his depression and suicide. Working title "MR"

Some one please animate Mike's horror film idea.

"There's a house in almost every movie." Both funny and true.

When I initially heard about Shut In, I thought it was supposed to be about a person dealing with compassion fatigue, which would be a really interesting subject for a movie. Unfortunately, it was not.

The way Mike says "WRONG!" always absolutely kills me, I can't stop replaying that part!!!

Rich Evans is lookin' lean.

"ominous" is that like the most lazy horror movie name ever? how about "foreboding" or "the scary"

Arrival talk begins ~26:40

It's been almost 3 years and I'm still waiting for The Inside movie. goddamn *HACKS*

This experience watching Jay and Mike come up with a thriller movie was incredible.

Dennis Villeneuve is arguably the best director working in Hollywood right now.

The Arrival hit me right in the feels.

I’m choosing to believe their pitch for “The Inside” planted the seed for what became “Parasite”.

The Inside, hitting theaters January 2017

I can't wait for you guys to be old men and still doing this. Truly.

“Is everything alright? I just got back from th- BWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH” Gets me every time

"I am the pretty thing that lives in the house" is a very, very good movie. Incredibly creepy and atmospheric. Thanks for the recommendation, Jay. I loved it.

Jay's enthusiastic mispronunciation of Denis Villeneuve is just adorable.

the way they are describing arrival remiends me a bit of the tng episode damark. where captain picard had to kind of learn how to comunicate with an alien captain who they could not understand.

"Of course in the end....uh....boy in the wall....THERE'S A BOY IN THE WAAAAALLL!!!!" gets me every time....

I've watched the pitch for The Inside like four times and it still makes me laugh

This is my favorite kind of HitB: two movies back to back, one shitty, one excellent.

I've been waiting for this, and a life.

As someone who really dug - La La Land - Manchester By The Sea - Moonlight I loved just about all these movies. It's to credit for Arrival that in the first few minutes I felt more emotion than all the mentioned films above.

My friend and I (incidentally, his 1st movie gig as "editor" was Joe Dirt 2) realized this same title and theme problem over 20 years ago. Movies like "The People Under the Stairs" and "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle". So we made "The Man Who Built the House You Live In".

Fun Fact:the writer of ''Shut In'',has been hired to write the upcoming Harley Quinn solo-film.I can't wait for this trainwreck to happen and the following Half in the Bag review.

Who else thought their video stopped at 3:45 ? XD

Mike saying Arrival was the closest thing to his ideal sci fi movie actually made me tear up (I CRIED BUTTERFLY TEARS!), cuz that's how I feel about 2049 and Dune by Villeneuve- he just brings a cohesive and powerful feeling of humanity to the genre that not many other directors can pull off

Parasite is the someone-in-the-walls genre coming of age

Eagerly waiting for Mike and Jay's next horror film. Sounds like an instant classic.

5:07 that's from the best of the worst where they watched "The Jar" for anyone who was curious

Mike spitballing his horror movie script for 20 minutes is probably what it’s like to hang out with him in real life but it doesn’t stop

Speaking of Anthony Perkins´ son.. His father died of AIDS and mother was in one of the planes that crashed into the world trade center.. Damn..

I got the notification for this upload at 9:11. Coincidence? I don't think so! Watch out Freedom Tower! Plinkett's flying house is coming for you!

One of the funniest half in the bag episodes in a long while. Thank you shitlords.

People that need the endings of films like 'The Arrival' explained to them are also the reason that "do not try this at home" disclaimers exist.

16:35 Mike in 2017: "Theaters are done!" 2020: "You rang?"

The part when Mike explains his stereotypical 2010s horror movie is glorious.

Technical request: can you turn down the lights by one notch? Thanks, I'm worried you two will melt.

Half In The Bag Plinkett starts his descent to become Plinkett Prime.

Oh my god, their plot for their made up horror movie The Inside was the plot of Barbarian. “Old Lady in the Walls and Mr. Red Herring”

So the main plot of Shut In is Busters fantasy from Arrested Development?

"I've been waiting since twenty-twenbmt -twelve -ten." >Barely doesn't laugh. I lol'd

20:46 my god this made me laugh

Hey Mike, remember: "Darmok and Jalad... at Tenagra...?"

"[Arrival] reminded me of a very good episode of Star Trek" now THAT sounds good.

At this point in my life I just want to see Mr. Plinkett watch that fucking Night Court tape

"in the wall with Grampa's BONES". Killed me!

35:50 the most perfect description of Jeremy Renner possible

SPOILERS Housebound is also about a crazy person living in the walls

The Boy worked really well for me because I was unaware of this "in the walls" subgenre and it worked as a good fake out. It does seem to be the "in" thing right now.

The highs in this video, the yells, are on point. Excellently executed.

Its nice to see a movie that Mike really loved and to see his face light up when talks about it.

Not even halfway through but still gotta pause to say this is a hilarious episode. Thanks and great job guys.

Can't believe that Mike didn't mention how the aliens in Arrival experience time in a way reminiscent of the Bajoran Prophets

I love it when I finally watch a movie you guys revealed because the real fun is watching you tear apart movies I just sat through!

Everything about The Inside pitch is gold I tell ya, gold!

I feel like during the Arrival section there were several underhanded knocks at Independence Day

Plot twist: In 2023, Mike’s favourite film of the year is a one-word title about a house with someone in the walls - Cobweb 🤯

I can't stop watching this episode. Not because of the movies. The editing and sound design with the music is very excellent. Mike's facial expressions and Jay's Home Alone face are just great. All except Plinkett. "That Rich Evans, he's the worst!" Perfect episode. Good work guys. I mean Hack Frauds.

Watching this video in 2022 is how I learned Shut In existed 😂

It Follows isn't about a house and I wouldn't lump it in with other generic horror movies. It actually had a unique feel and didn't rely purely on dumb jump scares. It was good as fuck.

19:38 It was pretty hilarious listening to them basically describe the movie The Intruder (2019) three years earlier.

One of many reasons I love RLM : watching Mike work, when out to prove a point or when quickly fixing issues OR doing Hollywood's job FOR it.

The pitch for the trailer of ‘The Inside’ might be one of my favourite internet things of all time 😂

I also found Arrival to be like the best of TNG episodes. Even used that when I told a friend. Didn't even cry when the protagonist didn't punch one of the aliens at the end.

Duct tape chains. There's something Red Greene never thought of.

Arrival was essentially Contact but with a twist ending added. How could you not see this?

Arrival is one of my favourite. I love movies that use grand, abstract environments that still touch a deeply intimate part of us. Not only that, but also visually striking and potent with atmosphere. It was a familiar eerie that really looms over the visuals and dialogue. Ngl, made me cry 😅

I loved Arrival so much. The music, by Johan Johansson, was half the movie for me. Without it, I think the movie wouldn't have had as much weight. Specially that moment when they first enter the main area of the ship, and it's just such a quiet bit and suddenly, out of nowhere, the alien appears and the music rapidly builds. It, too, reminded me of 2001. Or that long shot of the helicopter arriving on scene, the fog rolling down the hills, and a simple but eerie track plays over everything else. Incredibly ominous, sounds as if it were under the water, and just gave me goosebumps. Fittingly, the track is called 'Arrival'. And much like Doctor Strange, I think they both utterly wasted Michael Stuhlbarg.

I love how, after reviewing the film "Shut in" as boring, and explaining the trend of these films, and how the advertising and marketing of the films and the trailers work, and me agreeing the whole time up to this point, they then show the trailer for "shut in" at 25:18 and susceptible old me thinks "wow that film actually looks AMAZING" :d

The funny thing is I remember watching Pup Named Scooby-Doo as a kid. And there was a bully type character with red hair named Red Herring. And Fred would always think it was him but of course it never was. Hence the name. Funny thing is that show taught me what red herring means. It was very on the nose but as a child it’s a good way of teaching someone that concept.

"person in the walls" is a thing that happens in real life which is probably why there are so many movies about it, I've heard a dozen stories about someone discovering some hobo living in a hidden crawl space in their house

The scariest thing of all is that The Inside would probably make a ton of money.

I would legitimately watch The Inside if RLM made it.

i love that they wore the restraints the whole time

My wife and I watched "I am the pretty thing that lives in the house" It was nice and slow, we enjoyed it

"for jumpscare purposes" is my new favorite way to describe motivations for dumb shit in horror movies.

I am so disappointed in you guys. OBVIOUSLY the old lady was mad from grief from losing her child all those years ago, and lives in her former son's secret hiding place playing with his toys with a fractured personality, that speaks to the son at night. "Come play with me..." Which is why the woman and her son slowly start to think that the house is haunted by the dead boy, when in fact the old lady becomes convinced that the woman's son is her son. "MY BOY MY BOY! GIVE ME BACK MY BOY!" Explaining why she is slowly becoming more hostile to the woman. Classic Friday the 13th twist. Get it together people!

They talk about Arrival depicting a realistic reaction from humanity saying there's no quips or dumb jokes. Yeah, right... If aliens showed up, the memes would be absolute fire. Probably mostly about whether or not they are fuckable.

Imagine Denis Villeneuve tackling a huge sci-fi classic and making a masterpiece of it...
