Ankle Biters was originally selected for this episode, but 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 voted for destruction. Rich Evans was filmed playing a mad scientist, injecting the DVD with a strange green liquid. The film and box melted from the inside as a result.
Description
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.
Themes
Several characters in LA Wars are given nicknames:
- José Dansen, after the actor's resemblance to Ted Danson and José Canseco.
- Not Martin Sheen, Martin Sheen, and Tony Bennet are used interchangeably.
- Carla/Aunt Becky
- My Big Fat Greek Wedding Lady
- Not Al Pachino/Al Pachino's Stand-in/Young Al Pachino
- Not Ice-T
- Jaquinn
Rich Evans 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 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 (2019), a film by Gravitas Ventures.
Previously On
As mentioned, the previous Duncan Jax film Order of the Black Eagle was shown on Best of the Worst.
Jay notices Leo Fong, the lead actor in Low Blow and Showdown.
