'''''LA Wars, Unmasking the Idol, and Robowoman''''' is the 99th episode of ''[[Best of the Worst]]''.

== Films Watched ==

# ''LA Wars''
# ''Unmasking the Idol''
# ''Robowoman''

''Ankle Biters'' was originally selected for this episode, but [[Best of the Worst picks without discussions|was not discussed]] because the box had a ''Spongebob Squarepants'' VHS instead.

== Votes ==

* Jay: ''LA Wars''
* Tim: ''LA Wars''
* ''Rich: LA Wars''
* Mike: ''LA Wars''

''LA Wars'' was determined the winner by a unanimous vote.

Jay attempted to stop the discussion immediately by saying ''LA Wars'' was the best of the worst.

Rich Evans originally voted for ''Robowoman'' on the sole basis that Mike would cause a tiebreaker due to [[Mike's contrarian Best of the Worst picks]], but changed to ''LA Wars'' when Mike admitted he would "never" vote for ''Robowoman.'' Rich claimed that it was "close" between ''LA Wars'' and ''Unmasking the Idol''.

''Robowoman'' was [[Best of the Worst (Award)#List of losers|voted for destruction]]. Rich Evans was filmed playing a mad scientist, injecting the DVD with a strange green liquid. The film and box [[Destroyed objects|melted from the inside]] as a result.

== Description ==
<blockquote>New Merch Store: http://www.redlettermediamerch.com

This time, the gang watches a gritty action movie about rival crimelords with just a touch of romance, a movie about a British ninja spy and his baboon sidekick stealing gold from a private island, and...Robowoman.</blockquote>

== Themes ==
Several characters in ''LA Wars'' are given [[character nicknames|nicknames]]:

* '''José Dansen''', after the actor's resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Ted Danson|Ted Danson]] and [[Wikipedia:Jose Canseco|José Canseco]].
* '''Not [[Wikipedia:Martin Sheen|Martin Sheen]]''', '''Martin Sheen''', and '''[[Wikipedia:Tony Bennet|Tony Bennet]]''' are used interchangeably.
* '''Carla'''/'''Aunt Becky'''
* '''My Big Fat Greek Wedding Lady'''
* '''Not [[Wikipedia:Al Pachino|Al Pachino]]'''/'''Al Pachino's Stand-in'''/'''Young Al Pachino'''
* '''Not [[Wikipedia:Ice-T|Ice-T]]'''
* '''Jaquinn'''

Rich Evans [[Rich Evans struggling to pronounce words|accidentally pronounces the second film's name]] as "Unmasking the Ideal".

Jay claims their discussion of ''Robowoman'' "might count as [[making fun of the elderly]]."

== Remarks ==
Jay compares ''Unmasking the Idol'' to [[The 70-Minute Rise of Skywalker Review|''Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker'']].

Jay mentions that the viewer should avoid movies from Gravitas Ventures. Tim Higgins, who is also in this episode, starred in ''The Field'', a film from 2019 by Gravitas Ventures.

== Previously On ==
As mentioned, the previous Duncan Jax film ''Order of the Black Eagle'' was [[Order of the Black Eagle, Wired to Kill, and Raiders of Atlantis|shown on Best of the Worst]].

Jay notices Leo Fong, the lead actor in ''[[Lady Terminator, Lost in Dinosaur World, and Low Blow|Low Blow]]'' and ''[[Showdown, Robot in the Family, and Bloodz vs. Wolvez|Showdown]]''.
