I need part 2!

Gaspar Noé...? More like "Gaspar No, eh!", amirite...? :D

Manuel Johnen

YESSSS

Michael Federico

It's officially called "Chapter 3 - Parabellum" so it has the movie number and the sub-title both in the main title of the film! A rarity. Haha.

Isn't John Wick 3 called 'Parabellum'?

Nice!=)

Watch Enter the Void to experience an authentic headfuck

Climax was the first Gaspar Noe film I’ve watched, and did not give me any desire to see any more, just too much of a headfuck. But the music was freaking great, I immediately downloaded the main title theme too

Maybe they are sick of talking about it but know it's too important to their brand to completely ignore? Like when a band has to play the hits for the 10,000th time even though deep down they might want to play the new stuff?

Great one! Thanks guys

ALSO: Thank you for validation on the pronunciation of “biopic”. “Bio-pic” has always sounded wrong to me, but I just accepted it after hearing it pronounced that way for years...

Why are they saying nobody wants to see Star Wars?

I went to a The Room screening in Royal Oak, MI and it was exactly like Jay described it

Harry P. Ness

My favorite RLM recommendation this year was Petey Wheatstraw. Have a great holiday season, guys!

Amy Hitchner

Love these “movies of the past year” discussions. They make a lot of sense for films that warrant a 8-10 minute discussion instead of a whole HITB episode. It’s great that the guys give equal opportunity to material that falls outside the action/horror/sci-fi genres. Had not planned on seeing Rocketman, but Mike’s review changed my mind. And Dolemite is on my list now too!

Peter L

I enjoyed this episode. They recommended some films I should check out and some great lines from Mike and Jay. Stay warm, RLM!

I didn't watch Bohemian Rhapsody either, solely because I loved to listen to Queen all the time and played their music on keyboard, even won 3rd place in a music contest with the Bohemian Rhapsody, and so I don't want that movie to be like the prequels to a Star Wars fan.

Marvin Falz

YAY, Climax was great! I wanted to kill myself at 1.5x!

Lelio Mulas

Interesting talk there about movie speedup. In Europe we've had 4% faster movies on TV and video for many years because of the conversion of 24fps NTSC to 25fps PAL (done without any pitch correction). This ended only when HD encoding became a thing.

Love this. Mike can’t be 55 years old though.

Mike Bermingham

The only one of these I've watched is John Wick. I'm definitely adding Dolemite Is My Name to my list!

Karolina Rossini

Man, I love RLM Sunday night uploads! It's going to be a great week.

Day MADE.

Halloween: Depends

Yeah, it was slow, boring, and wasted all its best ideas.

Re: Pet Semetary, THANK YOU. When that trailer dropped at the beginning of the year, I saw a lot of BS twitter comments about how killing the daughter is more interesting, when in fact it is the most uninspired thing you could possibly do for this story. Little evil dead girl, how completely original for the horror genre in 2019. As a fan of the book and original movie, I actually have been wanting them to remake the movie for years now, but it was awful and a waste of John Lithgow.

Lauren R

I saw The Monkees and I CLAPPED!!!

Brian McKeon

Yeah I see you there sneaking in the Harland Williams "Rocketman" poster.

Lauren R

This gives me hope we get another Fuck You, It’s January

Annnnnd there goes the evening!

Moose is in the house!
