Hey guys, normally I make stupid fucking jokes when I comment on your reviews, but today I just wanted to say I am loving your new release schedule. Thank you so much for the entertainment you’ve given me over the past couple years you’ve been doing these. I hope they’re still as fun to make as they are to watch.

Keep up the good work, guys!

    Maybe he just wants to read jokes in the comments instead of gushy fan mail?

      well yeah that would be weird for people to compliment redlettermedia on their work in the comments section of their work.

      Quite unlike Twat’s pious fan letter. I mean, I just don’t get Twat.

Two movies I never intend to see

http://www.thedungeoncrawl.blogspot.com/ Sean Samonas

I completely thought that Warm Bodies was a parody of the whole Twilight idea of a girl falling in love with an undead monster. Looking at it from that point of view, I imagine the movie is more entertaining.

contagioned

I’ll go watch Movie 43 right now

CalamityCorp

Seriously, for the love of all that is holy, stop adding those fucking screamers. Thank you!

GoCompare Guy

I heard Movie 43 is one of the sorriest sacks of shit going, but damn.

And the premise of Warm Bodies says to me that it started life as a straight up parody of Twilight, only some suit somewhere figured they’d make more money of going for the Twihard demographic instead of mocking it, so they gave up the parody schtick and just decided to be another one of those films. Tis a shame, parodys need to move away from Wayans brothers shit and head back to Hot Shots…

Marcus Jones

Actually it started as a novel as I understand it. The premiss is slightly altered but for the most part the movie played out the way it was designed (for better or worse).

http://www.facebook.com/ben.brian.56 Ben Brian

Mike fills the water cooler with beer, so they drink it all. That’s why they gave Movie 43 such a “great” review: because they were completely pissed.

Classic Gilchrist

I’M DYING LAUREN!

Sylveria

When they’re talking about Movie 43, I can’t tell if they’re talking about real scenes in the movie or just shit they’ve made up. Everything I’ve seen about it looks awful enough for me to believe the movie actually contains that stuff.

Steve B.

I’m 99% certain they were just freestyling an imaginary description of the movie. That said, I’m also 99% certain that if the Farrelly Brothers used Mike and Jay’s review as the basis for Movie 44, no one would notice the difference.
- Christopher Kulik
  
  Funny you say that because one of the Farrelly Brothers directed one of the segments in MOVIE 43.
  - Steve B.
    
    Peter Farrelly didn’t just direct a sketch for Movie 43, he was the brainchild behind it. He conceived the project, produced the film, and recruited the huge pool of acting talent to participate. He named the film. Movie 43 is his.
    - Christopher Kulik
      
      Oh lord, now I feel a little ashamed for liking THE THREE STOOGES movie.
    - Devil_Dinosaur
      
      People are not brainchildren. Ideas are brainchildren. They are children of the brain. Peter Farrelly was the brain, not the brainchild.
      
      You’re welcome.
    - Steve B.
      
      I would post a snarky response to try to take you to task for your pedantry, but if I did, I would just be trying to cover up the fact that I actually do feel kind of stupid for misusing the term brainchild.
    - guest
      
      I think “brainchild” has something to do with Athena jumping straight out of Zeus’s head when she was born – hope that wasnt a breach birth or anything.
      
      instead of brainchild you could try prodigy, phenom, whiz, maybe wunderkind. if you want to be called a neckbeard, that is
    - Mastermind
      
      I think “mastermind” was the word he was looking for.
    - http://twitter.com/LeWriter80 Joey B.
      
      goddamm……i’d be embarrassed to have my name attached to this movie. i wonder sometimes. how the fuck did so many A list talent end up in this movie, even after being handed the script? what the fuck was their manager and agent telling them to convince them that this would be some kind of comic masterpiece? it’s a 90 minute piss, puke, fart, shit and sex joke – complete with stupid stereotypical tropes, bottom feeding humor and tasteless premise? there’s a way to do low brow, and this isn’t it. i’m hoping that “this is the end” with the apatow clan can show the farelly brothers how it’s really done.
- playdude92
  
  At this point, what´s it matter?
  
  We are at the bottom of what can be explained and at some point audiences are just watching someone farting and giggling aftwerwards. Not much to talk about.
Half Machine Lip Moves

I was feeling the same way, but then I read a review and… yeah
they made it all up. Of course that does not mean the movie is less brainless.
zeitguest

I was becoming increasingly horrified on a visceral level for them as they described what they had watched.

They should be seated at the back of an ambulance with an army blanket around their shoulders where someone can tell them it’s over,they’re safe now.
zero_miles_per_hour

I wonder if this idea for a sketch was somehow inspired by Poop In The Pants Movie.
http://twitter.com/LeWriter80 Joey B.

yeah, they were freestyling it. the point of their mockery was to suggest that the movie was as banal as an aristocrats joke, wherein there’s no intelligent thought gone into the joke writing, and the fact that the movie (much like the aristocrats jokes) is just a series of repulsive moments engineered to “shock” the audience. it’s a horrible fucking movie, and it was clear in their tone that they thought it was just as horrible. the fact that the movie has no respect for it’s audience or comedy in general (i hope you feel bad about this, farrely brothers) is apparent; thus “half in the bag” and red letter media deny it an honest and respectful review.

James

heavily disappointed that you guys couldn’t see the obvious satire in warm bodies, I thought you guys were smarter.

corina

Oh they did, but there is such a thing as badly done satire. Hence the comparison to Shaun of the Dead, an example of good zombie satire.
Steve B.

I don’t think anyone is favorably comparing Warm Bodies to Shaun of the Dead, but I have to admit, I am getting a little bit sick of hearing about how “stupid” the premise of Warm Bodies is. How is this premise any more or less ridiculous than the premise of every other zombie movie ever made? Zombies are already inherently ridiculous.

Also, I’m guessing the satire the above poster is suggesting that Mike and Jay may have missed is not the satire of zombie movies, but the satire of Twilight-style teen monster romance stories. Mike and Jay suggest that Warm Bodies was a cynical attempt to duplicate Twilight, but the premise alone is pretty obviously a joke at Twilight’s expense.
- No Seriously
  
  I didn’t get jay commenting at how it’s silly love cures zombies, when for the longest time zombies were created due to fucking magic and that’s a-ok
  - nebakhet
    
    Because it’s not about what’s realistic in our world, it’s about what is realistic in the world the story portrays.
    
    For example in Star Wars a Jedi deflecting a blaster rifle shot with a light saber while blind-folded is entirely realistic. It fits the established rules of what a Jedi can do. But a Jedi transforming into a bat and flying off into the night isn’t realistic. Everyone would go WTF?
    
    Rules can be introduced and bent but if you go too far the audience will suffer catastrophic disbelief and become detached from the story.
    
    Zombies being cured by love is definitely jumping the shark. It’s a major new rule that doesn’t cleverly follow from any established trait of zombies to make sense. Perhaps if zombies were created by hate it would be possible to set up love as the antidote. But as it stands it just sticks out as breaking the realism rules of the world they have portrayed.
- name
  
  I was just kind of turned off by the conspicuous “hey, this hasn’t been done yet” line of thinking that would actually prompt someone to make a movie about such a dumb idea.
- http://twitter.com/PlasticPals Robotbling
  
  The movie looks like shit and the premise is dumb.
  - Steve B.
    
    The premise of zombie movies in general is dumb. A disease that can only spread through direct physical contact with mindless, unarmed carriers who can be readily identified as carriers by simple visual inspection would be easily contained by the military. But that doesn’t mean it is impossible to tell a good story with zombies.
- margaret
  
  The novel’s original idea (which doesn’t sound like it was represented at all in the movie) was that zombies can absorb the feelings/memories of people they eat; R had just eaten the girl’s boyfriend, and thus felt protective of her. He keeps pieces of the boyfriend and snacks on them occasionally. Something that took off with that idea in a more *adult* fashion and de-emphasized the “transformative power of love” bit could have been a creepy, disturbing, interesting, satirical horror movie. But, of course, it being Hollywood, they had to water it down to the lowest common denominator to get teenage butts in seats.

the satire no one’s seeing is the review itself. the irony actually starts at the beginning of the episode, not the second half.

Yeah, Warm Bodies might not be the most innovative thing on the market, but it’s a well written and well acted rom-com.

Movie 43, on the other hand, is the cinematic equivalent of a war crime

The trailer for Warm Bodies is the most innovative thing on the market. It shows that you can have an entire movie in the time it takes for a trailer. The movie on the the hand shows what happens when you shoot the editor of the trailer before he gets to touch the movie.

This seems more like a therapeutic exercise than a review. I would take it as a warning that the sheer banality of the film will break your brain.

What “13 Year Old” would know who Yoko Ono is? I hope that was supposed to be an ironic insult – because it was limp.

Seriously, Google “Bill Burr Yoko Ono” and re-watch the end of the first Best of the Worst. Notice how Mike doesn’t something completely out of character and is polite and completely full of shit when downplaying someone’s “wrong choice”. Compare this to his brutal and purposely unfair retort to Gillian about “What’s Your Number?”. Notice any difference? WhoooopShhhhh!

  Do you really not understand the difference between Mike counterpointing someone that’s trying to genuinely defend a piece of shit like What’s Your Number and a group of friends goofing around about a bunch of movies that they all know are shit and just having fun with? There’s no “wrong choice” when you’re talking about a bunch of comically horrible movies. Grow up.

Movie 43: “Look at how offensive and controversial we are! This movie is sooooo edgy! It’s perfectly fine because we are pretty and famous and we get away with it! But if you do it, it’s WRONG because you’re not being politically correct! Hah!” Oh, the hilarity.

Jamalaldinalafghani

I work at a job where everybody is always saying edgy controversial things and sexually harassing the women physically and grabbing their asses. One time I made a comment that a girls pants look like underwear and I got written up and nearly fired. Then I read a book telling me that feelings of being unjustly wronged may lead to post traumatic stress disorder.

This feast of a Half in the Bag feels like a classic Half in the Bag episode with Grabowskis undertones.

Dog Shit

Wow mike and joy have gone full sarcasm in the movie 43 review… you all know what that means

Woody Allen

They are making shit up about “Movie 43,” In the actual movie Richard Gere buys a fur hat that’s actually alive and keeps shitting everywhere when he isn’t looking like in people’s drinks or in their purses etc which is really funny and also Hugh Jackman plays a struggling actor who sells his soul to the devil (played by Harvey Weinstein – see what they did there?!! – so clever!) to get a part in a movie called “Sex Men” where he Fucks Halle Berry dressed as a 6 foot latex cock with a marsupial pouch which hides Danny DeVito.

epic takedown of Movie 43…bravo

http://www.facebook.com/derek.sawchuk Derek Sawchuk

I actually kinda liked Movie 43. I mean, there were certain sections that were offensive to my sensibilities (a guy had balls on his neck, that was the joke… for like five entire minutes). But some of it was pretty entertaining, like Robin speed dating. It seemed to get better as it progressed.

Anyway, I enjoyed the “review.” It was among the most entertaining things they’ve done. But I would have liked an honest commentary on the unique style of filming this movie adapted, even if the style was a complete shit idea.

These Hollywood stars being in this “movie” would be prostitution if it wasn´t filmed.

Another nice one. Keep em coming. Glad I found the Plinkett reviews years ago, and glad to be following now. Nobody else is discussing film in the same way you guys are. It’s good to see you guys are blowing up.

I know this video is new because Marvin Falz hasn’t gone through every reply and typed up a hundred long responses fellating RLM yet.

Unimportant37b

Yeah, I already saw him here. He is a true inspiration. I always wanted to be that crazy and really respond to everything.. but that takes too much valuable time, I already waste on reading all these comments here… which are hilarious. Please (don’t) go to that guy with the glasses and (just believe me) try reading comments for the new Nostalgia Critic (Yeah his new show already Game Stationed). I prefer Marvin Falz anytime, though he must have another Nickname there.. I think he is Speedy Eric.

I love the ghost. I mean, seriously bro, how cold is she! And considering Jay’s tremendous disgust of the human body and bodily fluids, this romance is a match made in hell.

The instant I saw the trailer for Movie 43 it looked like a completely transparent version of Jack and Jill, I’m honestly surprised it cost *only* 6 million

The Pandaman

I had to look that up to confirm it. How did that movie, with all of those different celebrities and directors, only cost $6 Million? How the hell did they get any of them on board? “Hey, we have a five minute part for you in a movie about farts and cooking dog shit. You won’t get paid. Want in?”

On Warm Bodies: Several times you refer to it as a drama… only then to show a bunch of comedic trailer shots, think you may have briefly forgotten what the word “drama” means. As for Movie 43: despite the fact that you were clearly making stuff up about it that sounds “plausible” as a joke, the funniest thing about that part of the review was the 9/11 joke… and I’m totally being serious about that.

I know it’s early in 2013 but it’s going to be hard to top the Movie 43 review, RLM. You’ve set the bar.

Also, truly baffled that people leaving replies thought this was a serious Movie 43 review. If you don’t understand sarcasm or humor then why does RLM appeal to you?

BOBO

I was talking with a friend a few days ago and he said that he saw Movie 43 and liked it. LIKED IT BECAUSE IT WAS SO FUNNY. He then went on to describe some scene with people dressed as Batman and Robin but in a WACKY situation. I said it sounded fucking stupid and he said, “Lighten up its a movie.” I wanted to kill him.

Steve Reeves

You misspelled “fucking moron” as “friend”.
- Bobo
  
  Later he said his GF made him go see it, and while that might be true he still thought the “iBabe” segment was a laugh riot.

Bassbait

The funniest part of Movie 43 was when George Clooney was at a dinner table with Jason Alexander, and then every customer in the restaurant proceeded to shake Clooney’s hand, and then slap their dinner plate on Jason Alexander’s head! And they ALL had spaghetti! And the funniest part was when Jason Alexander FREAKED OUT, and demanded to know why everyone was doing this to him, and they all yelled “BECAUSE YOU’RE BALD!!!” And it was funny because it’s true! Bald people suck and we should make fun of them for being bald.

Rick Berman

I enjoyed the part where they had the dinner party and the black guy fell into the pool and couldn’t swim. He was about to drown, but then someone came by and said “who wants watermellon” and he found the strength to jump out of the pool onto dry land. Then some cops ran up to the black guy and started hitting him with batons, saying “he’s trying to steal the watermelon.”

See, they make these connections. It’s very subtle and you have to look out for it.
- Gayfatmexicanjew
  
  My favourite part was, when the chinese man was yelling at the gay man, who started dry humping him in the restaurant for no reason, and no one could understand the chinese man because of his accent. And when he escaped he knocked over a ladder with yellow paint, which splashed all over him and then he even bit into these white Icecones, which totally looked like he had two huge front teeth. And all he could say was:’ Shing Shang Shong.’ Over and over. Just like in the real world. There was so much to learn about real life in this movie…
  - nebakhet
    
    i quite liked the part where they were all at the German band camp and the man with the mustache accidentally farted in the multi-faith chapel and ran out and locked the door and all the rabbis inside collapsed from the gas. Although that said I realize some people find jokes about vietnam distasteful.

The “Warm Bodies” bit kind of let me down because it’s not as good when you guys are reviewing a movie you feel ambivalent about. But then the Movie 43 review came along and you TOTALLY REDEEMED YOURSELVES!!!

phillysportsfan

half in the bag is 2nd only to my fleshlight in terms of favorite things

crapface

Honestly, the only reason that they went completely sarcastic with movie 43 is that they would most likely be suicidal if they actually talked about it…

irk

I am a little disappointed about the review for Warm Bodies. The review made it seem like it was all about the girl in the movie… but the entire time it follows the guy zombie and how he becomes more human, not being weird and trying to express himself. The intro to the movie describes zombies to be actually people who just do their routines day in and day out and might as well be dead. This idea is shoved into the viewers by glimpses of people on their phones and the guy zombie walking around like there is really nothing to live life for as everyone waddles around and never actually communicate with anyone. The involvement of the girl in the guy’s life brings back what he really needed to be human again and the same to other zombies who realize love is something to live for.

The bonies, the completely dead zombie go after the guy because he is becoming less of a zombie, therefore food. As to the difference between eating a zombie and a regular person was never touched upon but it didn’t harm the movie in my opinion.

I feel like you guys missed the mark on the Warm Bodies review.

http://twitter.com/PlasticPals Robotbling

Your analysis may be correct, but it doesn’t make the movie clever or interesting.
margaret

Shawn of the Dead drew the same comparisons between zombies/people who mindlessly mimic routine. That was a well-executed movie. This was not. Shawn of the Dead took that idea and made a zombie movie. Warm Bodies made a teen romance. Having a philosophical framework for a movie is not nearly as important as the story that’s hanging on it.
namerang

I feel your pain, and I shall absolve you of it.

Mike and Jay are parodying themselves and their fans in the warm bodies review. “I’m grumpy because movies are cynical cash grabs and twilight sucks and this movie doesn’t do anything new or interesting even though zombies can now be cured with love which outrages me because that’s new and I don’t like things that are new and I COULD GO ON”

The unbroken irony from start to finish in the Movie 43 review *actually* started in the warm bodies review.

IamSMERT

One of the best HitB IMHO, a veritable smorgasbord of sarcasm. ROFL

Can someone clarify Zombie rules for me:

If you die and are raised, you are undead. But, if bitten by a zombie are you dead? And don’t zombies also eat people entirely, what happens to those victims? Seems like if someone was only bitten by a zombie they could theoretically be cured.

Kudos

ForwardEarth

A zombie bite is fatal, but death is not instantaneous. So theoretically, if there were a cure, a bite victim could be saved if he or she were treated in time. In most incarnations of the mythos, once you’re dead, you’re done. As for the ones who are eaten entirely, they’re eaten entirely.
- zeitguest
  
  right, but do the zombie digestion systems still work, like once the zombie eats you do you get pooped out? Or does the zombie keep trying to eat and just overflow from all the people he’s already swallowed?
  
  Do pooping zombies eventually end up with really stuffed trousers? I don’t think the mechanics of zombie apocalypse have really been worked out yet, but I’m sure Lindelof will have all the answers for us in WWZ. Not long now.
  - zeitguest
    
    ..but in any case I think WW Z will feature a LOT of zombie poop.
    
    Remember I predicted it here first.
  - ForwardEarth
    
    It’s a good question that I don’t think has ever been addressed. The one zombie I’ve seen, on The Walking Dead, that ate an entire person by itself, sat immobilized afterwords. Maybe that’s what happens when they’re too full to keep eating. I don’t see how their digestion could actually work. Although maybe they osmose the flesh to slow their decay. That’s an interesting notion.
  - nebakhet
    
    the digestive system of the zombie actually functions in overdrive as it is connected to their general hunger for flesh. They don’t absorb nutrients from what they consume however. As a result zombie poo is not like human poo at all. It is very loose and tends to dribble down their legs so you wouldn’t likely achieve the stuffed trousers scenario you are hoping for.
    - guest
      
      Ah but you’re not considering people caught during the zombie apocalypse while scuba diving or surfing in neoprene suits, wearing leather parachute pants with drawstrings on the ends… and especially fly-fishermen with those waterproof overalls. I suspect we haven’t seen these people on film because the filmmakers are being overly evasive about the whole zombiepoop issue.

Christopher Kulik

I have to say it: I’m so annoyed and tired of those Disneyland resort ads, that I’ve decided to withhold all of my support for Disney products in 2013.

guest

I gotta say the Totino’s Pizza Rolls was still the most effective ad we’ve had. Whenever a new plinkett comes out I actually go buy some so I can munch on em with some of that milk stout they sometimes drink while I watch the review. So basically I’m like a NASCAR fan only with redlettermedia. Do a little product placement and I buy it. Maybe the better comparison is Oprah.

CorbeauNoir

From what I’ve heard of the synposis(es?) I don’t think so. Apparently the whole ‘joke’ behind the Hugh Jackman bit is that he has a scrotum on his neck.
- Rich_Evans_Fan
  
  Ah, some are making fun of people like me asking this. I asked as I know nothing about the film and Hollywood is putting out some baaaaad films the last few years (and some really great ones!) so there sarcastic acting was not so far fetched as to what one expects to see in the theaters these days.
- Venny
  
  The joke wasn’t so much that as it was watching Kate Winslet squirm, because even though the scrotum was apparent to her, nobody else in the room (including Hugh himself) would acknowledge it.

CorbeauNoir

The worst part is they’re apparently doing a movie of The Host so Jay and Mike’s postulating over what new teenage-girl-loves-random-horror-creature movie will come out next has already come true.

Heh, I thought I was the first one and another guy on here thought he was the first.

That may tell something in itself.

Yeah, I too never meant to hurt her feelings, it was a joke (she obviously isn’t going to break up the company, like Yoko is accused of doing to the beetles).

That being said she didn’t seem good for the show, most people out there suck on camera, and while she wasn’t all that bad, she wasn’t adding to the show like the others did. Also the pillow was awkward as hell, and it’s normally not good to bring your girlfriend into your business.

She yelled at me in the forums, and I felt bad about that one. I hope she understands that internet comments are to be scoffed at, but we should remember that our comments can make people feel bad “in real life”.

Mike, Jay, I know you’re probably not going to read or acknowledge this, but I want to try anyway. My theory is that you didn’t actually go see Movie 43. Not just because you sarcastically re-told non-existent skits: that much is obvious. It’s the nature of the skits that you’re describing here that makes me think so. The types of jokes you describe aren’t really present in the film. Perhaps, you took it at face value and just assumed it was similar to Haunted House? Because it is not.

KHMac

I hate it when people complain about a movie “not following the science” of being a zombie, or vampire, or werewolf. These are FICTIONAL creatures! To paraphrase a popular saying “How do you kill a zombie? Any fucking way you want.”

Spiderman

The problem is that a zombie movie is already causing the audience to bring their willing suspension of disbelief to the very brink.

It’s not that zombies aren’t already ridiculous. It’s that rather than doing something alternatively ridiculous, they just heaped on more ridiculousness to the point that even Doctor Who fans will have to call bullshit.

I can’t tell if Movie 43 is funny or if sarcasm is funny?

I think neither.

http://www.facebook.com/TharosTheDragon Kyle Delaney

I think you were a little too hard on Warm Bodies, although I think I prefer that you err on the side of saying a movie is worse than it is rather than saying a movie is better than it is.

It doesn’t bother me at all that the zombies cured themselves by magic because zombie movies are already about the dead coming to life by magic. Sometimes they throw some science fiction in there but the mechanism for how the dead can be reanimated is never the point of the movie.

Since you said you didn’t get what the point was, I think you may have missed some of the metaphors. Like with many zombie movies, the zombies represent some kind of trend that has been taking over a culture. I think in this case it has to do with R’s opening monologue. The zombies are dead because they don’t have a reason to live. They’ve forgotten how to enjoy life. And when Julie says to R “What are you?” I think the implication is that she had been lumping all boys into the same category and didn’t realize that some guys are different. I think there are a lot of dumb things about the movie, but I also appreciate how deep the metaphors and symbolism run. I’m embarrassed to say it, but I actually didn’t even think of Romeo and Juliet until watching this review.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=753345456 Octo Seven

If you want metaphors in a Zombie movie, stick to Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead and even Land of the Dead. Those films do allegory correctly and don’t try to appeal to teenage girls.

Explore the prophetic warning signs that link the Old Testament Scripture found in the prophet Isaiah 9:8-10 to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in America.

The United States of America was founded upon the God of the Bible.
…
Elliott Nesch and Raymond Schwab share some astonishing prophetic discoveries linking the 9/11 attacks to ancient Israel’s apostasy and subsequent judgment of God through the Assyrians. Schwab and Nesch travel to New York City, the birthplace and gate of America, to preach the eight prophetic heralds of God’s judgment on 9/11 and call the American people to repent from their sins and turn to God through faith in Jesus Christ.

Only if you finish inside it.

also, i think that the subtle clues that your review of movie 43 was sarcastic were just a bit too subtle

Robby

What’s up with the bell noise I always hear throughout every episode of half in the Bag? Is it thrown in there randomly or is it actually supposed to be for specific things that happen?

Guest

They already made a love story with a girl and a Mummy. It was called The Mummy.

Piecewise

Come on guys, try listening next time.

The reason the boneys attacked them is because R and the girl had a heart beat. And they attack anything with a heart beat. It says that right in the goddamn trailer; you don’t even have to watch the movie to know that.

guest

It’s said in the movie that the Boneys are specifically targeting R and Julie even though they’re nowhere around them at the time. The idea that mindless corpses would do something like this that involves a plan and attack is stupid.

This guy

Hey guys, I just got a sweet new pair of headphones and I just wanted to say that Jay, your voice has the clarity of an angel’s. Your mic must be set up perfectly. Mike, your voice sounds like it’s coming from inside a whale’s cavernous dumper. Your mic is fucked up. Oh, and good show.

I have to agree with what some others have said here. I typically agree with RLM, but I think they missed the mark on “Warm Bodies.” I’ll grant that there are a lot of elements pulled from other sources, but it is a solid social commentary with light humor. Quotes like Julia saying that R was trying to ‘live more’ or ‘be more human’ than any other living person she had met, is one example. Yes, R found life through love thus making this movie more of a romance. Yet, at the end another zombie transforms back to life while simply taking in a moment while looking at a lake. Yes, this is something we have seen in other zombie movies, even with good humor such as “Shaun of the Dead.” But I thought it was solid contemporary restatement.

Overall, yes it is obvious much of this is reused, rehashed, but there is definitely something to like about this movie. It should not be dismissed…. Also, “Movie 43″ is crap.

I love the Movie 43 review. I’ve watched it three or four times and I’ve recommended to friends. Great work, RLM!

ZorroMeansFox

Hello, guys. Keep up the terrific snarky and playful work. I just wanted to note, RE: Your “Warm Bodies” breakdown: The film it seems to most resemble in structure is “Daybreakers” –what with THAT film’s militaristic daddy figure, the male protagonist trying to regain his humanity/falling back into a love-and-sun-filled world, the sub-strata of “more evil” vampire creatures who have lost “all their human characteristics,” etc.

mrsjane

Hello Mike & Jay, I wanted to say that this was a great HITB episode. Movie 43…wow, I have never ever seen such a bad movie like this. Why Kate Winslet? After the amazing character you displayed in Titanic, why get sucked into this?The stupidity in the skits you guys presented of this movie is unbelievable. “Would you Poop on me?” Seriously? Why would any adult find that funny, unless they are very stupid themselves? The sketch with the guy and girl with HPV was just awkward.. and the rest…wow… no further comments.

As for Warm Bodies, I was glad that the vampires were not sparkling! .I also did not find anything in the plot clever or humorous in any way. This movie does not seem to have any depth in the story. In the meantime…

Sincerely, RLM fan.

mrsjane

Correction: * I was glad that the zombies were not sparkling!*

I wish you guys wouldn’t review such cerebral movies, it makes your commentary really difficult to follow.

I saw Warm Bodies because it looked like a funny movie about zombies and romance from the point of view of the Zombie. And that’s exactly what it was. I never even thought about Twilight before or during the movie. I can see how the basic kneejerk comparisons to Twilight come from, but I think they’re fairly unfounded.

One thing about this review that kept rubbing me the wrong way, was how Mike and Jay kept insisting this was a teen romance movie. It is pretty far from that in my opinion as the characters aren’t teenagers. And the movie isn’t really about a forbidden love, considering that Julie’s father doesn’t even learn about his existence until 3/4ths into the movie.

I’m pretty surprised Mike and Jay couldn’t separate their pre-conceived notions from what actually happens in the movie.

ConsiderPhlebas

Romeo and Juliet’s relationship doesn’t get found out till they’re dead. You don’t need to be told something is forbidden when it’s really obvious. Like if your dad really hates zombies, and you fall in love with a zombie?

DanceK

When Mike said “It’s an exotic meat” around 17:50. I want Mike to speak like that for an entire Half in the Bag episode. And then stab Jay in the eye.

The writer of this piece is an idiot and probably hasn’t seen any of the movies they mention here, but it gives me hope that this movie tanked massively.

I thought this Warm Bodies movie was dumb as hell when I first saw it. But it has an actual decent twist that is obviously not done well. You have a zombie apocalypse with the added bit where people can be cured of said condition. However they are flesh eating plague carriers until they are either saved or degenerate into something feral that is rotted. That has a nice body horror angle. If you get infected there is hope but its impractical and hard/rare to accomplish.

Eddie

I would not be too harsh on this film. To be honest, it appeared to be a dark comedy to me. At least that is the impression i got. So it is meant to be silly. It has a lot of laughable moments and at least it is not Twilight.

Obviously, Warm Bodies did have the teen romance going on, and yes, there was the implied romeo and juliet them; however, it was also about human interaction and being connected. The scene when he imagines the past in the airport clearly shows that humans were becoming less and less connected with cell phones and computers and such.

The zombies are an analogue to those lost people, the depressed people of the modern era. They infect other people with their disease as well. It was also telling how he got out of his funk with the memories of her boyfriend. They were lost, didn’t know how to connect, and had to do it through the brains of the living (thus explains why they eat brains in this zombie universe).

As he falls in love, he connects again, so he starts to come back to life. It affects the other zombies, just like depression/zombie virus affected living humans.

The Bonies (not Bonsies or whatever you called them) were past the state of the zombies/depression. They were utterly lost. They wanted all things living (i.e. not depressed) dead and gone. They are meant to destroy hope. When they saw the hope, their aim was to snuff it out.

There was a deeper meaning in the movie despite the teen romance. You just have to go in with an opened mind, and not one closed off because of terrible movies/writings in Twilight. Don’t be jaded and bitter.

Pick up the book, and give it a read. It’s worth it.

Something Awful’s “Current Releases” came kind-of-sort-of to the same conclusion you did regarding the allegorical aspect of Warm Bodies, although Jay Dub interpreted zombieism as being emotionally stunted rather than outright depression with R being a typical modern day awkward teen that’s so self-conscious that they’re essentially a mind lamenting being trapped in a painfully awkward body. As such, he gives it credit for having really interesting ideas, but (like Mike and Jay) regrets that it has such a sloppy execution and unfortunate narrative decisions, especially by the end.

Honestly, as much as I really love allegory and working out underlying themes and philosophies, zombies since Night of the Living Dead (at least with Romero) have always been symbols for something else – natural disaster, consumerism, class warfare – so having your zombies be symbolic is not really enough to carry your story anymore.
Nick

Hey, did you know that in The Incredibles, the teenage girl becomes invisible when people look directly at her, because she’s a shy teenager? That’s like … fucking deep, man. Like symbolic and stuff. And also has never ever been done before.
Also, like a boy and a girl from two different groups that can’t have each other because of extraneous circumstances. Star-crossed lovers, if you will. And they’re called R & Julie?
What do you get when you combine deep symbolism with a bold and original premise and sprinkle it with an homage to great movies like Twillight: Warm Bodies, of course.

Rebbit has raped internet culture. These comments are god awful. Damn nerd dads and soccer moms ruining everything.

Just so you know, the NChick crew is writing a book where a girl falls in love with Cthulhu.

Because destroying Dracula isn’t enough.

Jay

lol wow with all of your criticisms I thought you would be able to write, act or well do anything else.

boo

When you were making fun of warm bodies’ premise by making more ridiculous premieses for movies, I thought that was the point of warm bodies. Vampires are incapable of passion, but zombies are incapable of cognition so the idea is stupider so it has to be a joke, right?

Is your complete disrespect of a review suppose to mimic what a complete disrespect of movie 43 was?

Grinder

Hey guys, i am a big fan of your show. I have question – where the fuck did you see these moments you are talking about in Movie 43? The movie is hysterical, i love it. I love your comments but there is no Kate Winslet on a ship, no Richard Gear pooping. I don`t get it. You must have made the perfect joke on us. Actually – well done!

AlcaldeEste

This is the Movie 43 review translated: “It’s a series of sketches that are extremely lazily written and every joke is written to appeal to the lowest common denominator: Sex jokes, fart jokes and stereotypes. In fact, they are so lazily written, it’s like they were just making shit up on the spot and putting it in the movie. Like this!”
I like the way you told them very courteously: “There’s no Richard Gere pooping in the movie.” Like they recently saw the movie, but they didn’t know that there was no Richard Gere pooping in it? I think I fell off your train of logic there.
- Grinder
  
  Ok i get it. It`s just i recently saw the movie and i have watched the review several times and really wanted to see those scenes.

So compared to Twilight its an Oscar winner, but otherwise its mediocre.

That jump scare at the beginning with the Ghost Girl sent me into a giggle fit for some reason.

Enjoying it not realizing it was dog shit? Are you sure this ain’t a metaphor for the whole movie?
