Yeah that's what most my post was about mostly; coasting on your name is something earned but when it's manifested to such a discrepancy in degree i roll my eyes thinking about how you find the nerve showing up knowing you'll take alway 90+% of total budget being lazy and downright uninterested

That's what the HiTB was about for me. Movies as such being made because the Willisses of the world let them.

Well it did gave me Mike acting out Willis peaking behind a three which was awesome lol

But would they be made if it weren't for Willis? I'm not trying to justify it but it is what it is. For as terrible of an actor as Keanu is, we should really appreciate the man. These schemes are the anthesis of is kindness and generosity.

No you're right. It is what it is. Willis or not this will still be a thing. My personal dislike for Willis withheld. I feel they secretly would've hoped those that (perhaps?) appreciate the art of wouldn't have done as such. But yeah

The weirdest thing about the Willis angle was his foray into Broadway with Misery and his seemingly careless approach. Speaking of human garbage, I guess Steven Seagal doesn't have the saddest over-the-hill action star career.

Yeah that was a wierd bit of trivia lol. Regarding Seagal I watched a review of his (personally written) Kill Switch and yeah I'm not sure it's not the worst =P

You talking about that blue eyed antagonist dude that Jay said took his role seriously and wasnts bad? Maybe has to do with personal approach to work disregarding salary and so forth

Has there been a bigger fall than Bruce? Van Damme has been doing direct to streaming shit for years too but he was never as big as Willis. Travolta has done a lot of shit for years. From Paris with Love was the last good movie I can remember him in.

I actually watched Breach when it came out last year because we were curious how bad these movies really are. Like Mike said, there are MUCH worse movies out there... but it's still pretty bad lol. The ending was horrible too from what I remember. Spoiler (don't watch Breach): they make it to their new Earth but when they get out of the spaceship theres a giant version of the alien monster they encountered on the ship, but it's being attacked by smaller fighter ships and... that's it lmao.

I watched breach on an airplane. I remember wondering how I never heard of a sci-fi Bruce Willis film. Then watching it and finding the whole thing baffling. I finished it, so there’s that at least.

Reading some of the comments on the Bruce video was pretty interesting and quite sad. People who have apparently worked on these "films" have said that he has severe mental decline and will often forget where he is or what he is supposed to be doing so he has to be fed his lines and direction through an earpiece. They said he couldn't remember his lines if he wanted to. The reason given for why he's stooped to these movies is that he wants to knock a bunch out while he still can to set his youngest kids up for life.

For a guy that was still a pretty desirable get in the 2010s I think this could explain a lot.

This made me try to think about as to how he was in Glass, as that was a somewhat recent, big movie. Unfortunately, I can’t remember a single thing about the movie, which probably doesn’t bode well for his performance.

Mike & Jay Talk About Red Rocket

Good movie, but I watched it immediately after Nightmare Alley so for me it was basically an Unlikeable Protagonist Double Feature lol

I miss Bill Paxton's goofiness & bravado.
I have a small collection of autographs and this one means more to me than others I've spent thousands of dollars for.

It's all about personal sentimental value 😊

That's awesome. Did you get it from him at a convention or something? He always seemed like the nicest guy in interviews and such. He's one of the few celebrity deaths that actually made me sad. Norm Macdonald is a more recent one.

Actually one of the better WotW episodes. I usually hate them.

Certainly the funniest after Edged Weapons and the worst casino player in history.

Anyone else notice how in the end credits the third video was just listed as 'weird Japanese stuff'?

Funnily enough, I just re-watched Army of Darkness this past weekend. Great episode. My tastes rarely align with the crew but it's always nice to listen to passionate folks talking about a medium they love. RLM is great because they always talk about all the ingredients and preparation as much, if not more, than the movie itself.

Good episode. I liked to guest host. My dad loved Stone Cold. I do wonder if the people who created that movie intended it to be serious or not. Might need to do some google fu to see if I can find any info on it.
