For me it was the Percy Jackson movie. I felt so hollow afterwards

Yup i know what you mean

I think for me it was Stormbreaker. I really liked the book series it's based on, I think because it was 'kid spy' fare that took the 'spy' part really seriously--they all read like a pretty good pre-Daniel Craig Bond movie, just starring a teenager. But the movie... really did not work out, it felt like it was talking down to the audience in a way the books didn't, was obviously cheaping out in places, and shoehorned in a bunch of stuff that movies aimed at that demographic 'should' have but didn't really do anything helpful. You know a movie like that doesn't work when they cast Stephen Fry as the Q equivalent and even HE'S not really a highlight. I'd probably seen worse movies by then, but it's the first one I remember where I could feel my hopes getting dashed as it goes on.

That would be the most pointless, random, preposterous and awesome crossover ever. Alas, it's too late to make it happen.

And who are these human kids I don’t care about? Why are He-Man and Skeletor the b-story? When I hear people complain about movies now, I know they didn’t live through the 80s.

This was basically my whole childhood. Stargate SG1 was a big one. Loved the early seasons. Hated the later ones. Could never articulate why other than very surface level criticisms. TV shows were actually the worst because they would slowly get bad, and it mess with your brain. Now as an adult I understand how changing of writers/directors, rushed production and other behind the scenes stuff works.

Jay vomits on his cards as a child. The stomach acids react strangely with the ink and the characters come to life.

How about aborted babies?

It's at least better than "the product is a product within the movie too, then comes to life and has opinions about iPhones", a trend Mike should not promote

Literally their best feature as a pair. It's probably how they became friends and decided to work together if I had to guess.

One thing they got wrong: You don't want Seth Rogan as your protagonist. That wouldn't work with _The Greasy Strangler_ director. You want one of the guys from _Beef House_ as your protagonist. And Tim & Eric could do a cameo as some bad guys.

Yeah even as kids we have critical thinking, for me it wa the Bendy episode of Fosters home for imaginary friend, i always (as a kid again) felt a little empty watching it, angry even

Shrek the third made me think about how movies were made for profit and not because the creative had genuine love for film and storytelling.

I feel that way about modern entertainment. But we all know what's wrong with modern entertainment, so the real mystery we question is why is it ongoing and why aren't they improving on it?

I’m here just to make sure a Brit made this point. I always assumed it was a US term, so who does?!

Thats beyond the pail.

We used to use pail as in "Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a pail of water". But nah, we defo don't use 'garbage pail' we don't even use 'garbage' that's a Yank term. Agreed, it's a bin!

It’s true. Even as a New Yorker I knew it’s called bins over there. Pail is a term from the greatest generation era folks. My grandparents used to say pail once in a while.

Given that they were parodying Cabbage Patch Kids, they got close to "cabbage" with "garbage" and so needed something close to "Patch." "Pail" might be the best they could do.

To be honest it triggers something in everyone with eyes:)

The three of them should totally be producers on some projects. They often workshop genuinely better versions of things than what we actually get, just in a single afternoon shoot. I want their Gremlins 3 idea! Their Ghostbusters Afterlife rewrite would have totally worked as an actual sequel with the right tone.

They made a bad movie. It was alright. Some scenes were hilarious but very few were played out. It was something I watched. Not sure I would watch again. I would give Space Cop 2 a shot when they release it in 20 years.

I don’t know about nuclear waste that makes pictures come to life. You kinda need some sort of magic.

@@JacobSantosDev This is why I think they would really shine as producers. Get a creative director that has all his shit together already with making a good movie and directing actors, then have Mike, Rich, and Jay play a producer or executive producer type of role in the making of one of these 80’s tongue in cheek reboots. Because I’ll admit, Space Cop is probably their least competent media project they’ve made. They put some real heart and some great practical craft into it, but they probably had too much to juggle all by themselves to follow their own advice on how to keep a tight script.

They should just hit up Jay’s apparently-rich parents.

That reminds me of my brother. He was terrified of Chucky when we were kids and the video store we went to had a large Child's Play poster hanging up by the front counter, so whenever we went there, he'd always run past so he didn't have to see it 😄

Only Mike isn’t now arguing that it’s actually good

Funny thing is I had the exact same experience as Mike watching Revenge of the Sith in theaters. "I should like this, but there's something wrong..." so perfectly describes the exact feelings I had seeing it as a kid.

@John Kult I’m Gen X and the term was used at the time (this was before Buzzfeed and in fact, the Web). Coupland’s 1991 novel popularized the term. I love your Gen Z confident incorrectness.

@John Kult D-Generation X (DX) is an American professional wrestling stable, and later a tag team, that consisted of Triple H and Shawn Michaels.[2] The group originated in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now known as WWE) in the midst of the "Attitude Era" in 1997 as a foil to another prominent faction, The Hart Foundation and became one of the main driving forces behind the WWF competing with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in the Monday Night Wars. In addition to two other founding members Chyna and Rick Rude aside from Michaels and Triple H, the group expanded with new additions X-Pac, The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn), and Tori until it disbanded in August 2000. After a teased reunion in 2002, DX reformed in June 2006 as the duo of Triple H and Shawn Michaels for the remainder of the year[3] and again in August 2009 until March 2010, shortly before Michaels' retirement. This incarnation was voted the greatest WWE Tag Team Champions of all time in a 2013 WWE viewer poll.[4] On October 8, 2018 it was announced that D-Generation X would face The Brothers of Destruction at the Crown Jewel pay-per view. At the event, Triple H and Michaels were victorious against Undertaker and Kane. On February 18, 2019, it was announced that the group would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame later that year, with Triple H, Michaels, Chyna, The New Age Outlaws, and X-Pac as the inducted members.

Except Millennials just power through it by conspiratorial thinking aka "irony" because we grew up with the Internet. Neo-Boomers ("Gen X") like Mike couldn't understand.

Hope you're okay, charlie!!

I like how you mention this as a Fun Fact despite Jay pretty much giving all this information.

​@@BioYuGi "fun fact" comments always either restate what's already described in the video or state some other basic level of information that everyone already knows. "Fun Fact: this movie was *not* successful upon release and got lots of bad reviews."

Or they made posters very early in the production to take around and try and find funding, then didn't bother making a proper poster later

John Carl Buechler definitely had a certain look to his animatronic creatures, they all looked really weird and you can easily tell they were from his studio since there was a similarity to their looks. The alien monster from Terrorvision is probably his best work that I can think of since it didn't look like anything else the studio did and came out looking quite good and unique. His studio had great gore effects though and made (imo) the best Shape/Michael Myers mask since the original in the Halloween 6 mask.

You could just tell that something was off in production and it wasn't just that it was in part trying to sell a new toy line like the Transformers and G.I.
