Adam doing his best Adam impression of what everyone thinks Adam is, unlistenable in the Rouge One section, just whining

"Non of the aliens are fuckable". (Adum, 2024)

He was, in fact a surgeon

I love freddy got fingered. Genuinely hilarious in my opinion.

Alex should go on RLM's best of the worst since he used to do search for the worst they can compare notes about what the worst movies actually are.

Its funny how Disney kept pimping out the stagecraft sh!t like it was going to be so much better than the blue screens in the prequels. Turns out the opposite is the case. The volume just looks so unbearably unconvincing. I can see the lines where the background fills in. Plus the lighting is always so flat in all these disney plus shows except Andor. Why do they suck so hard? Its 2024 and we cant get this sh!t right?

The only way I could see Star Wars working now is to do something like what Gundam did and make completely alternate universes that still somewhat share themes and aesthetics from the original while still having room to do something completely divorced from the lore of the original universe

When the guest carries the podcast 😂

I remember when R1 came out, people rated it highly. It's validating to hear Alex and Adam say otherwise.

I'm fairly unaware of people hanging on to Rogue One. From my experience many love "The Last Jedi" as the standout of the Disney SW movies. I still don't like that one either though so...

I enjoyed Dune 2 much more than the first. Amazing performances, beautiful visuals, and enthralling plot. 8/10 for me.

I like it when at 1:45:55 Adam opens a can of beer.

Adum can be fantastic at unpopular takes, but his mindset that Star Wars was never good because of its fans is objectively terrible film criticism. It's beyond unreasonable to expect any rightsholder to control its fandom, as they are composed of too many people with their own free wills. If Siskel and Ebert gave the original trilogy two thumbs down back in the 80s, simply because they did not like the franchise's fanbase, not only would it seem petty and vindictive, it would not provide the franchise's writers, production crew, or onlookers any information they can learn from. Furthermore, where does the mindset that films can be judged by the actions of their viewers end? Is Taxi Driver an awful movie because it inspired a person to harm a sitting president? Yes, some movies tell bad messages and should be critiqued for them, but the original trilogy is fairly innocent in that regard. It's okay to not like something or its fans, but that does not make it terrible simply because it isn't your cup of tea. It would be better for Adum to stop watching and talking about it altogether if he cannot bring himself to review the films based on their own qualities. If Adum wants to rate all Star Wars media 1/10, that's obviously his decision, but it makes him look far more emotionally persuaded than he wants to appear.

Day 77 of asking for an episode on the Evil Dead trilogy

Day 76 of asking for an episode on the Evil Dead trilogy

Day 75 of asking for an episode on the Evil Dead trilogy

Martyrs > hereditary

Why is no one talking about how fucking awkward ihe was being about that rape episode? Like dude speak your mind you sound like ur keeping something in it was so weird

Why did nawal family kill her boyfriend for?

Jesus Christ, Adam is becoming legitimately insufferable. I’ve been watching his content since 2015, and never has he been more annoying and up his own ass than he has been on the Star Wars stuff. I don’t even care about Star Wars, but I think his petty attitude towards whatever group of people that’s gotten under his skin is making him unbearable to listen to , and it’s getting hard to take him seriously as an actual critic. Star Wars nerds, Marvel nerds, DC nerds etc annoy me too, but I can’t imagine shitting my diaper and crying about it the way he has been here in this episode and on his stream. I feel bad for Alex here.

lol christ, adum and i are the exact same kind of autistic: i always plop 3 conjoined (non-cube) cubes into my cup of coffee every morning so i can drink it immediately (this also has the side benefit of acting as a stirrer for the dash of milk i use)

Spoilers? . . . . . .. .. ... .... I think adum was referring to "one cut of the dead" at an 01:09:00 mark.

Adum: If Rogue One was it's own movie, 4/10. But because of my hatred for the Star Wars franchise, I'm giving it a 1/10. And if you tell me my rating isn't valid, you're creating an exception for Star Wars. Me: Actually Adum, it seems like you're creating an exception for Star Wars.

Disappointing that Adum is unwilling to even engage in a conversation about Star Wars. He stans the Matrix movies, which are pretty horrible except for the first one, but can't find a single thing to appreciate about any Star Wars movie.

Adam tell us how you really feel (i agree with you by the way)

Good adum, good! Let the hate flow through you

Adum is gonna recommend the worst movie ever after what Alex put him through XD

2:46 bro doesnt know lmao

Are Christian Furry Conventions, Noah's ark themed?

I didn't like Rogue One even when I saw it...

2:26:30 love Alex’s lol Star Wars reference here

Adam, you come across like the most insufferable asshole in this episode. You should have just refused the movie if you were going to behave so childishly in response to it.

Adum completely stonewalling Alex about Star Wars for an hour was just depressing

It was certainly weird listening to Alex having a conversation with himself, with the occasional "it's boring.." comment from Adam. I get it. Being tired of Star Wars is common. It must have been real fun to pick a movie for the episode and then having to be the only one keeping up the conversation about it. 😅

I think Raising Arizona was set when it was made.

I still can't believe how much people like rogue one. I remember the day I saw it I was so disappointed by how bad it was. I am interested in seeing the maple cut but honestly I don't even think there's 40 mins worth of a good movie to justify it

2:15:00 Good call on Alex comparing it to Lion King and keeping a cool head

Real talk what happened to ralph

Never been surprised by how boring Rogue One was to me considering it was conceptualized by John Knoll who is not a writer but one of the authors of photoshop and a big name vfx supervisor from ILM and then cobbled together by Edwards and Chris Weitz of Antz, the Golden Compass, and Disney’s Pinocchio fame

Emma Stone has absolutely blown me away lately with her acting. I really wrote her off as I only really know her from bad movies. Looking forward to see where she goes.

YOU'RE THE REBEL NOW DOG

02:03:54 lol as a dune fan and a star wars hater star wars is definitely not a rip off of Dune. Trust me, Dune didn't invent any of its ideas either they were all tropes at the time, in the same way star wars combines tropes from different places. Star wars is more broadly inspired where as dune is mainly inspired by other sci fi which is why star wars is more successful then Dune. The new Dune movies are made with star wars in mind (they are very different to the book) which is why it seems so similar to star wars

I know adum is just being honest but man that was a shitty discussion. I think he made his point and no one will make him watch it again, so that's good. I just wish I didn't have to wait another two weeks to get a real discussion.

It would be cool if Adum and David Lynch each got to make their own star wars movie.

Rogue One is Star Wars copying Halo Reach, it’s not that deep

This seems like a good time to remind everyone exactly what happens when Adum needs to finish a movie that has lost him. As seen when he watches Boss Baby, he will absorb nothing of the movie. It will slide off of him like water on a duck's back. Same thing happened woth Rogue One. After a point, the movie was basically just talking at him. This was the only way this episode was gonna go, and thus is perfect.

2:00:38 what the fuck did I just hear

AT-ST’s AT-ST’s!!!!!

English breakfast? Thats what Americans drink, Alex. Come on man. Don't be basic.

So Adam basically argued that it is good that Rogue One exists, because people that like Star Wars can enjoy the original trilogy even more!
