Gleep Glossary is so good. It’s now my favorite Patreon reward by far.

Yeah I binged the first 6 during work today and it was wonderful. The Nexus is okay but I actually read a bunch of those EU SW novels as a teen so it's bang on for my humour and knowledge.

WHM is great, the bonuses are all worth it, but if tomorrow you told me all we'd get is Gleep Glossary I'd say 'yea fair'. It's so great to hear that perfect blend of 'Star Wars is so stupid' and 'Star Wars is great'

What's the exchange rate on "times read Sphere the novel" to "times viewed Sphere the film"? If it's at all decent then I probably qualify for a Sphere Boys denim jacket.

I've seen Sphere a lot, I feel like we rented it many times when I was a kid.

Sphere is one of those movies that seemed to run at least once a month on cable on weekend afternoons. I thought it was fine as a kid but even then I realized that most of it didn't make a lick of sense.

Cinemasins is actually quite fun in the sense that you get a runthrough of bad movies you’d never watch anyway. All I know of the Transformers films are through them.

Yeah but you don't need someone doing incredibly granular nitpicks (some of which aren't even accurate, true, or sensical) to know those movies are bad.

That said, the "what's the damage?" videos they do are at least interesting especially when applied to comedies.

They’re also extremely soft skinned babies who sic their legions is teenage fans screaming “lol it’s just satiiiireeee” at anyone who points out how hack and lazy it is. Oh and also they don’t understand the meaning of satire.

It was back when the videos were 5 minutes long. Now that they're so long, it's like reading an unedited IMDB goofs page.

Having Mark Wahlburg explain the plot of the Transformer films while repeatedly stabbing me would be more tolerable that enduring Cinemasins' "jokes".

I've never seen this, but I have seen the rabiatic, fierce anger that the Internet at large (and other youtubers in particular) send their way.

To me it's a bit juvenile, kind of like the Bieber or Fortnite hateboner that memeculture has, but if you don't like it I totally get it. As I implied, I mostly use their videos to get an idea of what bad movies are about, out of morbid curiosity (without having to pay or spend hours of time actually watching them).

I really hope they bring Griffin on again soon, or maybe bring on David or "The Benducer". All the Blank Check guys are great.

I jumped right into the Tim Burton series after they wrapped up their prequel episodes. I love how Ben gets progressively angrier towards the back half of his catalogue.

One thing I’ve noticed is that I very rarely find myself losing patience with the WHM guys; their sense of what’s funny and how long something is funny seems to overlap perfectly with my own feelings about such things.

Then we have Griffin in Blank Check who had literally, and I mean LITERALLY, caused me to yell “SHUT THE gently caress UUUUP” as he keeps on going on a tired, unfunny “joke” that he refuses to let go.

Blank Check is one of my favorite podcasts, I love it maybe more than WHM (but not more than Nexus or Gleep Glossary) but the loving ads are a literal hate crime. Griffin should literally be prosecuted by a literal district attorney for what he’s done.

I just don't understand why Cinema Sins is abhorrent but fuckin' Honest Trailers gets feted by the movie elite, because it's basically the same garbage.

Because at least Honest Trailers videos are only as long as the trailer and they do other jokes rather than simply monotoning the movies' goofs.
