The BEST episodes of Half in the Bag

#1 - Strange Darling

Season 2024 - Episode 10 - Aired 8/24/2024

Movies. What is they? A series of images accompanied by sound and music to tell a story. Who makes them? Artists? Clowns? Men and/or Women? Beef? A.I.s will soon make them and everything else and that's when the wars start. Save antibiotics and anti-radiation pills. Invest in canned food and shotguns. Build a fence around your property with barbed wire even though your elderly neighbors tell you it's an "eye sore". Tell them, "First A.I.s will make an episode of Spongebob Squarepants and next they'll be coming to harvest your organs for Chinese billionaire gangsters on the black market through the dark web". I found the site already. It's called www.crackerguts.com. On the site is a photo of my fat face with a caption that reads: We want everything but your liver. But I digress. Today Mike and Jar went BACK to the Monkeypox filled movie theaters to watch "Strange Darling", the new film starring Kyle Gallner (pronounced Gouwlinger) and others.

#2 - The Last Last Jedi Review

Season 2017 - Episode 16 - Aired 12/19/2017

* we weren't really sponsored by Fandango... In this special episode Rich, Mike, and Jay talk about the Last Jedi. A movie that's complex, but subtle. Beautiful, yet awkward, clunky and unfunny. Good, yet very bad. Also while discussing the bombing raid on the Dreadnought. Mike talks about a Star Trek Voyager episode coincidentally called "Dreadnought". Please comment about that below... if you were cool enough to know that awesome fact!!!

#7 - Top 10 Horror Movies (2024) Part 1

Season 2024 - Episode 12 - Aired 10/23/2024

Halloween. What is it? A celebration of all things spooky, scary, and macabre. Are all horror movies Halloween movies? No. Are all Halloween movies horror movies? Yes. Except for stupid kids movies. In America we celebrate Halloween on October 31st. In Canada they celebrate Halloween on May 11th the day after Queen’s Day and the day before Boxing Day. In England they called Halloween “Pumpkin Eve” and when little kids ring the doorbells they say, “Trick or Teeth”. Folks hand out a trick or toothpaste (called teethpaste north of Buckinghampshire not not as far south as Willhubsmanfeld upon Blumberston”. In North Korea Halloween is called Thursday. But Americans invented the horror film. The first horror film ever made was 1997’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and since then it’s been an amazing journey of terror and screams for you to annoy your religious Grandparents with. Tell them you’re putting on The Last Temptation of Christ and play Terrorizer 3.

#8 - Top 10 Horror Movies (2024) Part 2

Season 2024 - Episode 13 - Aired 11/8/2024

Mike and Jay are modern day circus clowns. Just uglier and stupider. They are here for you today to talk about movies no one will remember in two months. This is the second half of the top ten horror movies seen by Mike and Jay in the first part of the second half of the year. If you understood that give yourself a pat on the back because I didn't. Point is: Here's a bunch of recently released films that these two old clown-farts will yammer on about giving you their ill-gotten and half-wit opinions on. Mike seems to be the dumber of the two. What kind of man watches the AfrAId movie? What kind of man watches Blumhouse trash when he can be doing things like going to the gym to lose an excess 90 pounds? Wait till he finds out Speak No Evil was distributed by Blumhouse! He'll feel so stupid then! Why no one call it Dumbhouse yet? NO ONE THINKS ODF THAT? Jay likes the Substance because of course he does.

#9 - Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Season 2024 - Episode 11 - Aired 9/10/2024

Remember Beetlejuice? That very unique and original 1980s film that has spanned generations as a classic film with tons of memorable characters, performances, and iconography? Well...it's back. They did it again. They made another one with those same characters, same performances, and same iconography. Welcome to the underworld of modern movie IP-mining. Dig in!!! Everything old is up for grabs, just waiting to be recycled!

#10 - Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Season 2024 - Episode 5 - Aired 5/26/2024

#11 - Derivative Holiday Horrors

Season 2023 - Episode 15 - Aired 12/29/2023

The holiday season may be sort of over (except for News Years) but the derivative holiday-related shit films keep pooping out of our TVs. Hi, I'm Porky Fartbag and I'm here today to tell you about Mike and Jay (aka redlettermedia) they do a show called Half in the Bag where they talk about movies. On this episode they watched three recent holiday films: It's a Wonderful Knife, There's Something in the Barn, and Thanksgiving. It would have been more appropriate if there was a News Years Eves film in there too, but such as it goes. While a murderous Santa or horror Christmas film in the 1980's would have caused a stir, today it's par for the course. What, with all the filthy p*rn, shameful home renovation shows , trash music, angry political programing, and TLC fatso shows; a killer Santa Claus seems quaint. However, people keep making these movies hoping to shock or catch a view.

#20 - Borderlands

Season 2024 - Episode 8 - Aired 8/12/2024

Eli Roth made a boom boom. Mike and Jay talks about Borderlands. What a misfire! Odd casting choices. No one want to make. Adult professionals pretend to "care" about characters in video game they never hear of so they can make a check to pay for their yachts and shrimp. The behind the scenes interviews where these clowns pretend to care might be the most cringe rizz eva. Jayme Loins Curtis (daughter of Bill Curtis son of King Arthur of Legend) is so old even Michael Myers is too old to kill her. Even Activa won't eat her old gut rot. She pretends to love and care about her character, Rizzo McPizzo but don't give none sh*ts. Her net worth is 197 million dollars. Why she even work anymore? Just be grandma and let others have roles. Poor Cate Beckenblachett. Is it that hard to find good project? Tar 2: Back to the Tar Pits? You're much better than to play Ronald McDonald's sister. Kevin Hart like cash. We all know that.

#21 - Longlegs and Arcadian

Season 2024 - Episode 6 - Aired 7/13/2024
