He’ll watch (some) youtube clips of TV shows, but anything made for the internet is beneath him. I wonder if he ever watched Siskel & Ebert back in the day.
Please don’t compare RLM to Siskel and Ebert.
Outside of a few obvious differences in format and content, Half in the Bag is pretty much a modern Siskel & Ebert.
I’m not talking about the medium. I don’t give a shit about the medium. Siskel and Ebert are two of the all time greatest film critics. Please don’t pretend the RLM guys are anything close to that.
I would say they are pretty close. Siskel and Ebert may be the best, but that doesn’t make RLM low. They’re intelligent and they explain their opinions well, along with critique of the objective and technical aspects.
And don’t forget that Siskel and Ebert were never perfect either.
