Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, uh... What's up guys? Um... We're here with a, uh... A video. Boy. We're talking about, um... The... nostalgia...
Starting point is 00:00:26 The critic video. Nostalgia critic? decided it would be a fantastic idea to do a parody of Pink Floyd's Is it a parody or is it a review? I thought it was a review I thought it was a review, I thought it's a review. Look, it's a view. A couple months ago we did a video on this guy And you know what, we were nice, we were nice to him
Starting point is 00:00:46 You know what, in retrospect, we were too nice We were too nice. After seeing what we've seen today No, that, no exacting, no fucking exaggeration At the time of us recording this video right now the review we're about to talk about came out yesterday and I texted Jim while he was at work a little clip and I was like no joke no exaggeration I'm not being facetious I'm not trying to be a dick this is the worst movie review I have ever seen on YouTube the worst the thing is like I said we were nice to him in our nostalgic video you were he went and made it
Starting point is 00:01:29 personal man he he he saw what we said and he picked out the weak link being me and he made it personal he targeted my thing all right where to even begin he fucked us he fucked me not just you jim we all sat through this we sat through this 40 minute abomination this this abortion of a video that i cannot believe it fucking exists i'm so furious. Reel it back. Give some context here, Jim. Set the scene.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Like James said, Nostalgia Critic did a video on Pink Floyd's The Wall, the theatrical release, The Movie. Everyone knows the wall. We don't need no education,
Starting point is 00:02:17 comfortably numb, all of that shit. Everyone knows it's from that. It's a famous rock opera album. Everyone knows it. It's excellent. And I... I...
Starting point is 00:02:27 And how did Nostalgia Critic review the movie? He made a fucking parody album. He went the full fucking, your favorite Martian route. Full did all the instrumental and did all of the live. Well, he got someone to do the instrumental and he sang all the lyrics himself. He wrote lyrics. He wrote specific lyrics. It's a parody album.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Here's the thing, right, the nostalgia critic is, it's in his name, he's supposed to be a critic, right? What does a critic do, they critique? Where is the critique in this goddamn video? That sucks up, your instant confusion, I'm that nameless, though. It's a review! Yeah, that's the, that's the goddamn thing. He goes throughout the whole thing. He does this so much as well, but he goes throughout the whole...
Starting point is 00:03:30 We complained about it in our other video. Yeah, yeah, but... He goes throughout the whole thing. Right, and he just reenacts the whole fucking movie. And then at the end he goes, yeah, it was pretty good though. Okay! I liked it fine. Yeah, me too. A little full of itself, but good music and imagination.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Fair enough. So now what? That's his summary. He, no joke. He just recreates the movie. He goes scene by scene just about with his worse production,
Starting point is 00:04:08 worse animation, worse jokes, worse acting, worse singing. Everything's worse. And you're just sat there like, dude, I just want to know what you think about the movie. Like, why are you doing this to me? Why are you putting us through this torture right now? You know, when we
Starting point is 00:04:27 watch the Mad Max one, which is already a close thing to my heart. Mad Max, we all know this. There was something almost quaint about that one though. Yeah. Me or everyone else. Yes, I am the one who runs from both the fanboys and the haters. Because the point at the end was like, yeah, it is really good. Yeah, you know? So I was like, okay, yeah, fine. But here that the frustrating thing is that his commentary is so whack in the songs like the actual parody lyrics when you can actually understand them
Starting point is 00:05:03 because half the time they're just it's just inaudible muffle exactly yeah you can't tell what you're saying because there's no subtitles and it just sounds like nonsense and you hear the old like sort of smarmy lyric here and yeah oh this is lame and bad
Starting point is 00:05:18 so long Oscar made song but yeah what is the point like that is That is the ultimate question I have. He spent months making this video. It's 40 minutes long. 40 minutes.
Starting point is 00:05:35 It's not a quick watch. You have to invest a bit of time. Yeah, it was horrible. It was. It's 40 minutes long, but the ultimate point was, the ultimate summary was five seconds. Yeah, it was okay. It was creative, whatever.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Like, that was his summary. And he always fucking does this. I don't know if we said this in our original video. we did he always fucking does that he spends 30 minutes talking about a movie ooh the fucking iron man isn't very consistent in this scene and then at the end he's like yeah iron man too really creative really fun but if only it had more impressive cg i like this like his review of course yeah no i don't even i don't even know where to start with his review i guess we should go
Starting point is 00:06:26 this let's talk about the original movie right jim and i we have huge fans of the war jim even more so than me we've even seen roger waters live performing the music we both are big fans of the film we've listened to the album countless times we love it and what was interesting was jim and i had a point of reference we know the material very clearly and what is great about james being here is he's not familiar with the album i i know obviously the war I know the famous songs I know super songs but I've never seen the movie I've never seen anything
Starting point is 00:07:01 So for someone like you Going on this This review Expecting some kind of summary and conclusion And thoughts What was this 40 minutes of excruciating bullshit Like for you?
Starting point is 00:07:16 That's a loaded question My area Just what was your When it ended What were your thoughts? I didn't really have any Because there's you can't understand a fucking thing it actually must have made no sense it made no sense at all like I
Starting point is 00:07:32 got some of the little scenery because I've seen like like art from it yeah of course very famous imagery slight imagery stuff but that's it I've no idea anything besides that yeah and I don't know where it goes because you guys said that they've like done mixed up the some of the song places yeah so I had no fucking clue what was going on and to the later stages it just went off the fucking whales and was just a mess we will talk about that later because holy fuck
Starting point is 00:08:02 but yeah this video a lot of his videos require you to watch the movie and therefore what is the point of his video yeah you know like when I go on a YMS video
Starting point is 00:08:17 it's clear concise you understand what he's after it's like on a on one of his quicky ones. It's a five-minute video and it tells me if it would work for me. What is the point of the nostalgia critics video?
Starting point is 00:08:36 Well, that is what is so confusing. I don't understand the point. Is it supposed to be just a summary of the movie? But is it supposed to be in reverence of the material and kind of a homage to it? In which case, that makes no sense because he's constantly mocking it in the lyrics.
Starting point is 00:08:52 And then halfway through the video, there's this weird, like, ad placement where saying, oh yeah, I'm so happy with this album we've made and we're like, it's in, it is in reverence to the original album. And it's like, these lyrics, they're just constantly making fun of the original, saying that it's shallow, pretentious, dumb, dumb, Oscar bait. This is just such a love letter to Pink Floyd's music and the wall. And you can download the album in the link below.
Starting point is 00:09:19 There's even songs and music that isn't in the review. It's only for the album. And it's really fantastic. World War II with monsters too silly And it's like If this is supposed to be satire Or like really on the nose and exaggerated It doesn't come across like that
Starting point is 00:09:35 It sounds like you genuinely just don't like it Even we use the words It's a love letter That's quite a strong words To call something A love letter It's not a love letter Like Hot Fuzz is a love letter
Starting point is 00:09:47 To action schlock Yes That's the whole point Yeah You know there's countless films Countless things out there reference some kind of original material in a loving kind of referential way
Starting point is 00:10:02 in a way in as well as kind of recreating it this isn't doing that it's smarmy and and ironically it's incredibly pretentious I hate throwing that word around but but it is he's strutting around like he is yeah I'm the nostalgia critic what of it look I mean look at me I'm the fucking nostalgia critic Just look at me
Starting point is 00:10:26 I'm fucking dressed as a Nazi I don't see the irony in any of this It is so Groundbreakingly On the nose It's like he actually doesn't understand What the fuck he's doing The lack of subtlety
Starting point is 00:10:44 The lack of self-awareness Loads my mind In this video He constantly insults the lack of subtlety. Like, dude, what have you been doing for the last like fucking 80 years or however fucking old he is? Like, he's
Starting point is 00:11:03 been doing this shit since day one. The least subtle jokes possible. And then he's got the goal to say... There is this weird like self-importance thing. He assigns himself. Like, there's a certain couple of shots in the video where he's in a hallway and there are all
Starting point is 00:11:23 posters on the walls of his own videos that all have these like custom made posters you know literally and in one of the shots he even has his like million subscribers plaque in the background like yeah I'm the fucking nostalgia critic what other I don't know if you noticed but on that same scene there was loads of pictures just before that hallway and all of the pictures were aligned in Canview which of him of him being seen like the center focus as if he's moved them all there there is like a hubris and arrogance to what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Yeah, it's very bizarre. It's like sociopathic. You know? But Jim, Jim, let's reel it back even further. To the core issue with the video. He doesn't understand the source material. He doesn't get it. No.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Like, I hate that. I hate, it sounds so arrogant from us to say. It sounds like us being dickheads now. But it's like, no, the, just go on the, Wikipedia and read one paragraph and it gives you all the context you need The few times He does critique the movie saying things like
Starting point is 00:12:32 Why the kids are going on the train It's very obviously like a World War II thing That doesn't conflate They constantly make fun of the World War II references When the thing I The thing I personally love about this movie Is that it is incredibly personal To the source material
Starting point is 00:12:51 being the stuff that Roger Waters wrote essentially about himself. But the brilliant thing about the original source material is it does have that personal angle when you do the research, when you think about it, when you look behind the scenes and try to deconstruct what it's about. That's what I mean, yeah. But at the same time, there are countless metaphors that apply to so many different things.
Starting point is 00:13:13 The whole idea of the wall is a very malleable metaphor. For so many things. I mean, for a lot of men, specifically, it is an issue. Like, having to build this hard exterior and then closing yourself within that. Yeah. And not showing an inch of yourself. Like, that shit is potent. But he, he doesn't say a single good word apart from his passing.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Yeah, it's creative and pretty kind of cool. He's got some nice visuals. Yeah. And it's like, we have heard nothing from your. apart from making fun of it. Like, what is your actual opinion of this movie? That's his thing. He, like, he just does it all the time.
Starting point is 00:14:01 It's like he's too scared to say his actual thoughts on the movie. It's kind of like calling his bait, really. Yeah. He's just fissing, and it's just, oh, no, no, I take, you know, it was all bait. I actually know, yeah, yeah. That's all it is. It's a cop-out because he uses these characters to kind of critique the movie in a really half-ass way, But because they're not him, it doesn't properly count as his commentary.
Starting point is 00:14:25 His character's doing it. And he's always like an impartial sort of figure in his reviews. So it's like, well, it's not really me saying it. So even though he writes and directs and does everything in the video. So it's just like, what are you even going for, dude? Wait, time out. Is this really a World War II reference? No, it's just a bunch of kids being herded onto a train to a horrible tortures building.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Oh. Yeah, we're really comparing. bring this to high school? No, no, it's just mental weird and creepy. They're not applying that. I don't know, I don't think there's a way to not connect that. Oh come on, they're just saying school sucks. They're not making any connections to that.
Starting point is 00:15:03 The wall, like the reason it works is because it is this intimate deconstruction of the way Roger Waters, like from my understanding, it came from this disconnect he had from him and his audience. Yeah. And that's what the wall originally represented. presented and he took that vague concept and he turned it into a personal story like an intensely personal story about his father about his relationship with his mom yeah his mom drugs so many different layers to it and his audience obviously and in a sense he did remove it from himself
Starting point is 00:15:40 and created a story like an opera this huge grand thing yeah for you to enjoy and and take of it what you will like there's so much to to pick apart and he only analyzed the most surface level obvious fucking commentary of it like in in the song um you know uh another brick in the wall part two is the one he parodies um of it you know we don't need no education he turns the song into this satire satire saying about how criticising education
Starting point is 00:16:27 is like, hey, don't do that. You're just being a baby, dude. Yeah. Of all the songs, that one just stuck out as in it literally made the least sense. It became like a critique of the US. The US educational system. Yeah, which doesn't even make sense.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Because Roger Waters is English. But that also goes against the point he's trying to make. He's saying, hey, don't complain about the education system while also complaining about the education system in America. Yeah. But also, Roger Waters, his thing was from the perspective of someone that grew up, like, in the 50s to 60s. Where education was... Yeah, it was horrible. And he literally shows, like, the exact thing that he went through being made fun of for writing poetry.
Starting point is 00:17:17 and the point of the song is that education at least in those days and it still extends to now it wants to turn you into this like group thinker it wants to make you like the perfect thing in the wall yeah another brick in the wall like just another the same as everyone else and good for your job and like not to think independently but i noted down some of the the like lines in the songs when I did actually catch them. And I was just like, what? What? Like, it just makes no sense.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Like, for example, he called the We Don't Need No Education line pandering. Or it doesn't mean much at all, like, as a vague critique. But I say, no, it does. It means. What about the song, um, goodbye blue sky or whatever?
Starting point is 00:18:17 and that he calls it like Oscar bait yeah yeah I remember sense because the album was written first and the film was made afterwards yeah like and it was converted to a visual medium so it it's just so poorly thought out and let alone like even taking all of that out of it the video is just embarrassingly produced this was probably one of my biggest issues with this is the fact that his use of green screen is directly comparable to the joke Halloween video we did a few years ago. Yeah, it is. The green screen usage then, which we did purposefully bad, is as good as his actual green screen usage in this 40 minutes. I remember in the part where it goes into the school bit, another brick and the wallpice. to it shows like a harry potter school and all these bats flying and that's exact it it made me think of us the spiders when i was fucking like 18 and you were 18 and whatever we made this
Starting point is 00:19:29 dumb ass video this Halloween video it was purposely shit because we were in the smallest of the shit it's like we just got a green screen and we're like let's just shit out this video yeah just for a laugh and when you see these bats and they have that same white outline that are fucking spiders sticks it's just like no it comes across like when a 13 year old is really trying to be cool yeah like that's all makes it so bizarre like there there is no tongue-and-cheek nature to it it's almost like he thinks it is better than it is which makes it even more embarrassing yeah there's no it's the lack of self-awareness and then we can't be around the bush any longer that towards the end well throughout the
Starting point is 00:20:16 the video there is teased this kind of CG creature that's never explained and then at the end it just completely devolves into mind-numbing insanity where... If you thought the first like half hours
Starting point is 00:20:32 just like what is this, the fucking last like 11 minutes is just like it no the point of his video is to kind of showcase how weird the wall is that is in the movies. his video goes to another level
Starting point is 00:20:50 no but the weirdness is founded on a certain logic in the original movie yeah exactly but are we going to talk about the last song or the penultimate song yeah that's what I'm getting to yeah so the trial right yeah in the movie it calls back to the different characters from the different songs
Starting point is 00:21:09 that essentially made the main character build another brick in the wall being the mother, the teacher, his wife, etc., etc. And then in this, it's just like these reference characters to another YouTube channel that we've never seen before. Which you would not know unless you've watched the research after. Because when I first went on this video, I was skipping through it.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I skipped towards the end and I saw the absolute just mental shit that was unfolding before my eyes. And I was just like, what the, is it, like, what is, first off, what is with these character designs? How does this relate to the subject matter at all? Like, it's not even a parody anymore. It's just so removed. And the way these characters look and feel is like devian R.O.C. Just randomly just put in the video. They look exactly like devian ROCs.
Starting point is 00:22:08 They're horrible, though. They are fucking horrible. I hate them. I hate whatever the first. fuck that is but what's what is the the place and purpose like yeah i mean like if they'd have represented part like equivalent parts in nostalgia critics video to the movie and made sense but it they don't but they briefly say because they tease that the like little fairy creature a couple times throughout and then he go the nostalgia critics like oh so that
Starting point is 00:22:46 that's what that little creature was. And you're like, what, that doesn't fucking explain anything. No, he doesn't tease that throughout. He literally teases that, like, two minutes before the fucking weird shit starts. That's, like... And then all these random characters show up, but as if they're supposed to be, like,
Starting point is 00:23:04 the original movie, where they're singing the story. Mm-hmm. And, but instead of singing the story, like in the original, they're singing positive. about the movie? Sometimes. They're like, it's so creative and awesome.
Starting point is 00:23:23 It's giving me the urge to decapitate. Urge to Decapitate. It is the kind of stuff that like... You know, I'm not even gonna insult myself by saying I'd draw this kind of thing when I was like 14, but... No, you wouldn't. No. Because it's too far for even me. Like...
Starting point is 00:23:44 Me at 14, right, is embarrassing. Nostalgia critic at his age is more embarrassing. I just can't deal with it, man. And it actually just makes no sense. It makes no sense. There's no setup for any of it. There's no explanation for any of it. You have to just figure it out on your own.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Which some might say, well, that's the point of the original, isn't it? No. No, it's different. Mm-hmm. The original is a cohesive story. It ain't like normal. That ain't presented in a typical kind of way.
Starting point is 00:24:22 But there is a method to the madness. There ain't no method to the madness in the nostalgia kits of review. Just having this random co-lab. It doesn't make no sense. These random like OC characters. And it's horrible. I can't like explain that enough. It's fucking horrible.
Starting point is 00:24:44 horrible. These characters, these 3D CGI fucking bullshits that I had to witness today, I fucking hate them. It's disgusting. They are horrible looking and it just fucks everything up and they somehow, he mixes his actual physical fucking body into these 3D fucking worlds. That's what makes it so funny is he's taking it so seriously. Yeah. As well as obviously the music he... He covers most songs from the album, and they sound awful. Of course. Like, the fact he's covered the whole album and he's selling it and put it on Spotify and everything. It's like, who do you think you are?
Starting point is 00:25:28 Yeah. Like, it ain't even funny, dude. It ain't even funny. These lyrics aren't clever. When you can understand what the lyrics are, they're just annoying. Yeah, because half the time they're either just wrong or they're, are really annoying and arrogant
Starting point is 00:25:47 yeah and we haven't even talked about Slipknot somehow I don't understand how he got the literal lead man of Slipknot
Starting point is 00:25:59 to fucking star and his son and his son in the like Slipknot are quite big they are quite famous they're huge yeah
Starting point is 00:26:10 and he somehow got the lead man to fucking star in his video which honestly he did the hardest part he got this like celebrity yeah a professional musician who can play the
Starting point is 00:26:25 guitar he couldn't sing he's the fucking lead vocalist yeah which is just which is a really clever parallel to the original movie where the main character is like a washed up rock star you know yeah
Starting point is 00:26:40 but he doesn't use that at all In fact, he keeps, he just uses him for like these really bland shots where he doesn't speak. He doesn't do anything until the very end, doesn't sing at all. That was like part of the joke in the movie. It's a lame joke. Yeah. It's like, it's predictable. That's, I was just like, that's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:27:02 It did. Yeah. It's the most predictable way to handle that joke. The payoff, the payoff is a random minion. SpongeBob. SpongeBob joke, where you think, oh, he's going to sing a Slipknot song, because he's from Slipknot, right? No, he sings the SpongeBob theme because, funny? But by then, you're just like, dude, the thing is, on top of this, the Slipknot guy and his son are the worst fucking actors.
Starting point is 00:27:40 they're actually like again they're no better than any of the other people yeah um the Halloween video and we were purposely fucking terrible yeah
Starting point is 00:27:54 again we were fucking just making a joke that's what makes it so frustrating to me it's like it doesn't even seem like they're having fun it seems like they're taking it so seriously too seriously
Starting point is 00:28:10 way too seriously for do they not know how bad their production is for how many people are involved the lighting the the camera the sound oh god the lighting there's one scene
Starting point is 00:28:24 special effects there's just one scene specifically the lighting yeah it actually hurts your fucking eyes how bad the lighting is and how bad just the whole production of it is you will notice how fucking bad it is because you will just feel
Starting point is 00:28:38 how wholly your eyes It makes you realize why they use so much green screen, because when they don't, like, when they're just filming in a corridor. But it doesn't work because every week he's uploading these nostalgia critic videos criticizing films for these exact things. Yeah. And he's just doing them obliviously. And this isn't like his first time he's tried to do this. He's made multiple movies. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:05 But you're a fucking shit. There's some of the worst people. pieces of media ever created so in a sense it's not even surprising that this is where it goes it's like just do you not listen to anyone like for years people have been saying we just want to see review we just want to know what you think we don't care about these like recreations and these skits and he's he's not only doubled down he's not tripled down he's not quadrupled down he's fucking quintillionth down on this idea of recreating these fucking movies no one cares no one wants to see it It's fucking embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:29:40 The thing is not only does nobody care, but it just pisses off the people that do. So you know what? That criticism reminds me of another YouTuber who we've reviewed? Angry Joe. But at least his stuff has charm. He gets it more than a nostalgia critic.
Starting point is 00:29:56 He's a video game channel. When he talks about movies, he sits down and he just talks about it. Yeah. Say what you want about what he's actually saying, but at least you can comprehend what the fuck he's saying. You understand. his opinion.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Yeah, you get where he's coming from. I can't take it no more, man. We can't... We've joked about the nostalgic critic for so long. And we even made that video, we gave him a chance. We gave him... We gave him a fucking double, triple
Starting point is 00:30:23 fucking quad fucking fimp, fimp, fimp, fimp, this just got to stop. It's too much. This shit belongs. And in the comments, everyone's like, This is fucking revolutionary. I can't believe the creativity I'm witnessing before my eyes.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Are you... Who are these people? This shit belongs in 2006. That's the thing. That's what we were saying earlier. Like, yes, all well and good. When the internet first came around, when these video platforms was first rising.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Yes, everyone was cringy and embarrassing. And finding, like, their thing. But also, it was mostly early 20-year-olds, teenagers, kids. Yeah. Everyone that age is embarrassing. I'm going to sound like a lame word, but you guys. no Corridor Digital.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Yeah. Yeah. You look at their stuff now and it's like, holy fuck, these guys have, they've progressed. They've gone the distance. They've Herculesed it. They're incredible. Yeah. Yeah, their shit is, they're professional as fuck, dude. They're so professional.
Starting point is 00:31:25 And nostalgia critic, he's the same as he was. He's been doing it longer than them. Yeah. Fucking ages on. He's been doing his shit longer. And his stuff. Before YouTube, technically, he did it on his website for years. And his content it's the fucking same it hasn't changed
Starting point is 00:31:41 it's gotten worse his older videos are better than at least this current video because they used to be so simple it would just go through the movie make jokes here and there summarise it at the end
Starting point is 00:31:55 you understood how he thought about the movie and then you carried on with your day you didn't sit through this 40 minute fucking bullshit just diary of dog shit just slowly squirt diarrhea bullshit yeah diarrhea bullshit just you know the way it perfectly curls
Starting point is 00:32:10 like it just fucking never ends it's so fucking bloated it's so it's so fucking long of that that's all it is like honestly if you wanted to do this
Starting point is 00:32:19 skit shit so badly so fucking bad he's so obsessed with it just parody one song parody the most famous song just take all that
Starting point is 00:32:30 writing talent you got just parody one song put it all in there put the commentary in there that's cute put it at the end of the video on iTunes I don't give a fuck don't waste people's time
Starting point is 00:32:42 selling it as some kind of critique some kind of brilliant fucking mastermind breakdown of this film as if you're this avant-garde fucking filmmaker because behind the scenes he treats the shit like he's fucking Steven Spielberg now this is the scene
Starting point is 00:32:59 where the fucking lion thing's going to be like in the background fucking singing about how terrible this shit is and it's got all these actors like you know we haven't even mentioned the weird like
Starting point is 00:33:12 Twitter angle he takes yeah like is he trying to make his own thing he's like he's using the metaphors from the original and trying his best to modernise so instead of the hammers walking he's got the fucking mobile phones
Starting point is 00:33:31 walking the iPhones but like what is this commentary on like modern society for phone usage? Or is it a critique of a nostalgic piece of media?
Starting point is 00:33:47 You know? Like what the fuck do you want it to be? Because whenever he's actually talking as a human, it's about the media. Yeah. That he's critiquing. But then in the songs
Starting point is 00:34:03 he's like, hashtag, Hashtag. Hashtag. Hashtag. Hashtag. But it's like, fuck off. It's the first thing when you sit down to create a video is like,
Starting point is 00:34:19 what is the point of this video? What is my angle? What is the angle of the video? Each song has like, it's one's about the US educational system. It's about Twitter. There's no consistency in any of it. It's literally just taking loads of different angles on. and then mixing it into the songs
Starting point is 00:34:37 it makes no sense yeah like some of it is about the movie itself some of it is about like his like political opinions yeah thoughts on social media
Starting point is 00:34:51 yeah it's honestly so confused I saw someone describe this video as the disaster movie of YouTube movie reviews is that abysmal like I could I could I would sit back and laugh at that Mad Max review because it's so, so silly.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Yeah. Yeah, like, it's almost like he's in on the joke. Yeah. But with this one, it's like, it's like, you just haven't listened to anything, have you? You're just in your own little world, creating this. Like, I sound so over the top. No wonder he makes fun of Twitter, because, like, everyone... Yeah, because in the scene where he's dressed up like an SS officer.
Starting point is 00:35:33 I wouldn't say that You'd have a leather jacket That's kind of it Where he's dressed up like Him and his mates are dressed up like Nazis Shit, really, really bad And he's saying It comes across
Starting point is 00:35:47 I don't know if I'm reading into this too much But it came across as if it was him Directly addressing some of the hatred He gets Do you reckon? From the Why else would he be so obsessed With this like Twitter social media angle?
Starting point is 00:36:03 That would make that only just like went through my brain but what else would someone do when they're they're honestly so far up their own bum bum that and they think they're like so self-important and self-aggrandizing that they create something as bad it's something is horrendous like I don't I really don't like targeting people and being mean in this way but fuck me dude this is the worst fucking video I've ever seen in my fucking I hate this video i fucking hate this video because i like the movie a lot there's a there's so much to say about the movie yeah there is i recommended this film on
Starting point is 00:36:43 sardonicast once and we had a meaty discussion thanks to me yeah thanks to me yeah thanks to me yeah no but like there are issues with the movie i will not deny yeah but if you're gonna fucking if this is how you're gonna address them then fuck you piece of fucking... And that's the thing, like, the video's 40 minutes long. Yeah, it is. And you could condense the thoughts and the commentary of the video to literally
Starting point is 00:37:13 about a minute. Yeah. No, because he dedicates fucking 12 seconds, the actual commentary. He does. And you don't actually know what he means genuinely, or if it's supposed to be a joke. The intention is always so
Starting point is 00:37:29 muddled and so confusing. Am I, am I justified in my rage right now? 100% Yay! Am I justified in my fucking rage right now? Yeah, no, I'd be angrier than you, but I just did a big poo, so I'm feeling relieved of my... Maybe that's what I gotta do. I gotta do a big fucking shit.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Shit, there's fucking awful video on my system. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What, this video, like, I can't stand shitty, quingy videos. We all know I can't do that. For 40 minutes, I sat there and was just... fucking like amazed at how fucking It's like it's a train wreck that develops into the apocalypse. It just doesn't fucking stop It just snowballs. It's snowballs. I remember I kept more fucking horrendous than that fucking Minecraft video
Starting point is 00:38:20 We fucking made when I was like 17 I was more embarrassed. I'd be more embarrassed if I made this and that's saying so much You mean the machinima that was never released The thing is I kept looking at James just like a quick look and every time I looked at him he was like regressing into the sofa more and more just trying to cover his face just like I I don't I kept picturing like because they worked on this for months I I pictured the whole crew
Starting point is 00:38:54 coming together at the end and like sitting down on their fucking lovely sofas and their lovely nostalgia critic setup like watching their finished product just being like This is fucking brilliant. Like we do with our videos. Yeah. And they're just sitting there like, yes. They're like eating popcorn. They're like, this is, oh, Doug, you've done it again.
Starting point is 00:39:14 You've done it again, mate. You're just, you're a visionary. Surely, how many people were involved? Surely not all of them are so far up, don't fucking ass that they can't see how shit this is. But like, if I was in this video right, and I sat down and that was the end product, I'd be like, edit me out. I'm sorry, but.
Starting point is 00:39:32 I can't be in this. Like, I could never show my face again anywhere. Like, I could never leave my house again. But it's like... You can see that the whole controversy with Doug, Duke, whatever his name is. Duke. Just go on, Duke. Duke.
Starting point is 00:39:52 And you know that these people obviously have to think that it's good to please him. Because he's so... Just up his poo-poo. he's fucking writhing around in his poopoo he's making fucking angels out of his fucking shit it just never ends with this fucking guy dude what about the part where like he literally takes that like stock video plugin on mobile where like there's a wall and he like punches it and it explodes and it's like i remember watching like top five fucking games and a year
Starting point is 00:40:33 for fucking 2012 with those yeah because the Mad Max video uses it as well yeah yeah and he like because he's like
Starting point is 00:40:42 punching it through it and he's doing his silly face as if he's like this fucking comedian right now and then he like flings it off the screen with a funny sound effect
Starting point is 00:40:50 we'll I said what's the fuck what is your goal right now you fucking came straight from 2012 and the most one of the funniest
Starting point is 00:41:00 things to me is like In this cluster fuck of a video, this absolute nonsense, this fever dream, bath salts fuel, just bullshit that you're witnessing. There's an ad break in the middle. Oh, my God, this, the most concise fucking ad you could imagine. He's just like, this advert is for this wonderful product. Yes, for honey. You can get discounts on vouchers here and there.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Well, you get fucking biscuits. So you can explain your ad like perfectly. really concisely in like a couple minutes. But he didn't. He fucking didn't. The ad was like two minutes long where he's sitting there going That's true. For fucking two minutes.
Starting point is 00:41:43 In contrast to the review, it is really concise. And it's like, oh, because he's at a time limit and there's money involved. How can you overreact a fucking advert about coupons on a, on Chrome or whatever? Yeah, about like fucking hobnobbs and shit. shit. That was
Starting point is 00:42:03 might have been the like the second worst thing about that entire video was just watching him
Starting point is 00:42:08 over the act like a child even in the advert he's just like yeah he's just flailing around like he's just
Starting point is 00:42:14 the first worst thing is the video the second worst thing is the ad but like it goes on
Starting point is 00:42:24 for so long the ad and he's like just flailing his body around and wiggling and it's like what does this
Starting point is 00:42:29 have to do with the like voucher. Do you think your viewers are so ADHD that they need to see someone screaming and like writhing around like they just can't control their own body like they're being possessed?
Starting point is 00:42:41 But it's not that he also like get us out of his chair one's out of the fucking room and then comes back and does it all again I don't expect this from like a 40 year old that's like 12 year old me 12 year old you didn't do that yeah I was better than
Starting point is 00:42:57 do at 12 years old Hi, uh, like 14, you did the, the black ops unboxing. It breaks up the... When you sit there and watch this, at first, you're like... The first, like, clip or song is just like, okay, this is a bit cringe. Don't like using that word, but then it's just like, prepare yourself, because it gets worse. It gets cringier. It gets...
Starting point is 00:43:24 That's the thing. We said this in our video. Like, that you cannot. not avoid the word the word cringe when it comes to nostalgia critic because he's the nostalgia cringic the cringic but there's this part
Starting point is 00:43:39 there's this part in the video where he says and it really bug me that the movie ends on an open vagueness yeah when it's like well not really it just doesn't use like expository dialogue
Starting point is 00:43:55 to explain the ending like it's very fucking obvious like you've been saying it the whole review that it's like really on the nose metaphors and then suddenly it's like really vague and you don't properly understand what it means yeah it's a fucking they literally break the fucking wall down yeah it's as simple as that like throughout the movie he builds up the wall which like at the end of it he has to break it down it's the conflict of the movie yeah that's what makes it interesting to me it's like a Yeah, the whole conflict is within one person's head.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Yeah. It's someone battling themselves and it's so relatable because everyone has something like that, a personal struggle they can relate with and seeing someone in a movie overcome that kind of struggle is really empathetic. Uber, it's animated, so... Oh, it's quite weird, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:44:50 Yeah, fucking weird, huh? Man, what does it mean? Wow, it's not three-dimensional. What the fuck? It's not a fucking deviant art O-C fucking screaming in my face. Bring the runtime down. Yeah, in your own fucking video, mate. Bring the critic down.
Starting point is 00:45:11 I've never made a video on YouTube. I could make a better video than him on the wall. I'm not going to do it because it would be worse than it. Jim, we've just done it. What the? We've given more commentary in this review criticizing his review Than he did the movie in his review of the movie
Starting point is 00:45:36 Yeah, that's the thing And it's fucking 2 a.m. We've been drinking Man, what the fuck we're talking about We're half his age, we're fucking idiots We don't know what the fuck we're talking about We've spilled chips Are you spilled chips? I almost I feel like I was gonna throw up
Starting point is 00:45:54 And we can still make a better review The guy needs a reality check man I think I was going to throw up. It's it, there's just this great disconnect between someone who is engrossed themselves in cinema and visual language
Starting point is 00:46:04 for fucking decades at this point. And this is your fucking product. I'm sorry, man, but it's just fucking embarrassing. It is embarrassing. Like, James' reaction is the most unfiltered fucking pure. No, imagine if you're,
Starting point is 00:46:22 unbiased result. You're like a fucking 15 year old going through you, YouTube, who what fucking KSI video is there today? Nostalgia critic
Starting point is 00:46:35 fucking bullshit comes up and you click on it but this shit deep, man. No, this shit fucked up. I never want to see this again. You go off of it and like... No, but some people do think it's like
Starting point is 00:46:49 really deep because it's like, well, the hammers are like phones now, dog? That's fucking... No, but they wouldn't even know that it was hammers in the first place. No, but they show it in the video. no they show pictures they don't you know
Starting point is 00:47:00 these hammers are cool do no they they actually recreate can you talk about some of the animation in it there's a couple of bits that are okay it's like a funny bit where they make the famous screaming like head that erupts from the wall into dog's nostalgic critic face
Starting point is 00:47:18 which you know if the video is good that'll be cute and everything but there's also a part in the one of the earlier songs where they have like a bird and it looks it looks like i remember when in school we were taught um flash adobe flash in year seven which is your what 12 11 and and it was a it was literally about that level i've made things the same quality as that yeah fucking james in year 7 is is the quality like that's not
Starting point is 00:47:57 it's not acceptable man it's supposed to be a professional yeah like a professional with some of the most experience with YouTube and film like video making out of everyone he's
Starting point is 00:48:10 in terms of experience he's far above everyone else but it's literally like he's at the very fucking bottom with like a weak experience with fucking yeah in terms of quality yeah that's not acceptable no like you'll have someone just pop up on YouTube like tomorrow
Starting point is 00:48:26 and their shit is better incredible the thing is all you have to do to be better is have like a slideshow video with concise points and that's it yeah just a PowerPoint with music in the background of points
Starting point is 00:48:42 yeah boom that's probably better in this video let the party's hit but flop let the no but it's it's a new level of self-indulgence to me because sure like everyone who is
Starting point is 00:48:55 who talks about movies and stuff has a tendency to become like over the top self-indulgent miscommunicate points I've done it, we've done it everyone's fucking done it I ain't done it I'm sure we have though
Starting point is 00:49:09 when we've talked about movies in the past on blabs and shit I'm sure we've done it and it's like annoyed people it's natural though that's just the way it goes but you know what I want to use the stuff we fuck up to try and improve to be like
Starting point is 00:49:23 yeah let's try and be more concise in the future Let's try and improve the ways to be funnier. Weed comments and get feedback from the people who watch us so we can improve. That doesn't happen. What the fuck is nostalgia critic doing? He's never read a comment, has he? He rides the fucking magic carpet. No, but he must have read good stuff about him to get this fucking ego that he's fucking good.
Starting point is 00:49:53 But I mean, he's made it this far. what we say doesn't even fucking matter but I just wanted to say it like it the dude's got an ego even if he doesn't like that's how it really comes across yeah no it's like borderlands
Starting point is 00:50:11 you know yeah yeah it's like boardlands it's like Seth McFarlane like his sense of humor so similar to Seth McFarlane where it comes from a place of as if he's above everyone yeah like I'm at the top and everyone's below me
Starting point is 00:50:28 and all of my humour comes from just putting everyone around me down all the time and in this case it's the movie It's not in that like simple way It's hard to even explain It's like Yeah I'm one of you You know But but in his own head he's better
Starting point is 00:50:47 It comes across as really snide Yeah It's yeah Can't be doing with this shit, man. My blood pressure just can't... No, I... This is my last video. I'm addicted to it, man. I'm gonna die after this.
Starting point is 00:51:07 I can't take it. You see what you've done, Doug? You've killed my brother, man. It don't get much more serious than this. I'm dead. Bro. Jim's dead, bro. I... I...
Starting point is 00:51:23 All I can say... I can say about this fucking review. I've seen bad videos. This is the worst video I've ever seen. Ever. It's shit. That's all I can say. Yeah, let's just...
Starting point is 00:51:45 Yeah, it's the worst video I've seen on YouTube. Prepare yourself for it. And that sounds so hyperbolic, but genuinely. and it's extra because we're such big fans of the nostalgia story of the original I'm joking no yeah but yeah to those out there though
Starting point is 00:52:05 who are genuinely interested in the movie go check it out it's hard to find which is kind of annoying and you can only get it on DVD but it is a movie worth watching I reckon even if you don't like it if you're a fan of animation like art design music especially
Starting point is 00:52:24 music is best bangers um the thing is you never even mentions the difference between the album and the movie version like yeah how the songs slightly differ how some of the performances are a bit different some of the songs are actually like they have a better version in the movie and also there's songs in the movie that aren't even in the album that's what i mean that's the kind of thing that like you couldn't like briefly mention that kind of thing a bit of information so someone can go oh i didn't know that i'm a big fan of the album that's the thing that's the kind of thing that's the If he spent more time talking about it and less time
Starting point is 00:52:58 satirizing it Using that term as an insult To the word satire because it ain't satire I don't know what the fuck it is It's what Leafy would call satire Yeah, it's the equivalent Yeah Maybe that's what bugs me so much
Starting point is 00:53:13 Because just flinging around words like that And like having this intent that is so Just not genuine It ain't genuine dog dog do you get it dog Doug oh nice one
Starting point is 00:53:29 bro he ain't got no motherfucking respect man he ain't got no motherfucking respect I don't why I need it's the
Starting point is 00:53:36 the the slip knock guy he ain't got no motherfuck respect I don't blame him I blame him I blame Doug
Starting point is 00:53:44 Jim nice nice nice nice JG 5 5 what what I got my money You heard I'm cool.
