Chris uploaded Episode 5 of GeekTime the other day. Only took three weeks. ... Yay?
On it, they talked about Joker, or rather Tim talked about Joker because Chris didn't see it. That's not how you're supposed to do that! At least both of you should go see the movie. This podcast is a mess. Anyway, only Tim saw Joker, and he didn't like it. Complaining it was "wasn't enough like the comic book" and it "deviates from the canon too much" Uhh... no shit. It's an adaptation. If anything, it's more like an Elseworlds story (for those unaware, Elseworlds was a label DC used to tell stories that weren't canon). You're supposed to see it as its own thing. WB has said there's no plans for a sequel or to incorporate Arthur into a "universe". There's also points in the review where it sounds like Tim wasn't paying attention. Where have I heard that before?
They also talked about something rather different. The Nostalgia Critic's review of Pink Floyd's The Wall. For those that haven't been around, Doug Walker has somehow survived the online backlash of covering up a predator and staying silent while people he once called friends were hurt by a greedy asshole, and still makes videos with plenty of views. He has even gotten more subscribers now than before the Change the Channel incident.
Anyway, last month he posted a "review" of the movie adaptation of Pink Floyd's album The Wall, and I say review in quotes because it is not that. Instead, Doug channeled Demo Reel and did a "parody" musical of The Wall. He even got Slipknot's Corey Taylor to show up. The video was... abysmal. An absolute trainwreck. The parody songs weren't funny ("Heey, what if we took Comfortably Numb and made it... Comfortably Dumb! Oh man I should write for Weird Al"), Doug missed the point of Another Brick in the Wall Part 2, mocking it with "You say you hate high school but it wasn't that bad", even though it was based on Roger Waters' real experiences in a British boarding school which were awful institutions that used corporal punishment (basically Doug was acting like they were talking about US schools), referred to one song as "Oscar Bait" (even though the album came out three years before the movie), tried to apply modern concerns to his musical (worst one is turning the marching hammers into marching phones... dear god) and probably the worst part, ending the video with Taylor calling him out for not even reviewing it, and saying in one sentence "It was okay". The whole thing is 40 minutes long!
It was a pretentious garbage pile of a video, and clear evidence that Doug never grew past wanting to do Demo Reel, if anything this was way worse then that shit. He completely wasted Corey Taylor, who sat there just watching TV while Doug sang, only singing at the very end... singing the Spongebob Squarepants theme. I don't get it! They even released an album of the parody songs. It's currently the worst rated album on RateYourMusic.com. It even got attention from people that normally don't care for the Nostalgia Critic. Including Chris & Tim
Yes, they brought up the video on the latest GeekTime. But like Joker, Chris didn't watch it, instead it's Tim complaining about things everyone else already has, like comparing UK schools to US schools and the Oscar Bait comment. Also Chris does some dumb song. Something real surreal about one failed reviewer calling out another failed reviewer. Chris was so proud of this part, he uploaded it to YouTube before uploading the full episode (he's doing that now). The title is clickbait as fuuuuuck "Irate Gamer's Response to Nostalgia Critic's Pink Floyd Wall Review". Except he's not Irate Gamer, he's himself, and he doesn't say anything about it because he didn't watch it. Even some of the comments called this out. The thumbnail is terrible too, he just took NC's thumbnail, slapped his face over Corey Taylor's picture (which he copied & pasted from his video talking about Terminator: Dark Fate) and drew cartoony eyes and a tongue on Rob Scallon. Your lack of talent and effort continues to astound me.
But really, the lamest part is that this was posted a month after everyone else was done talking about it. This is a big problem for GeekTime, they're never up to date.
And it's only going to get worse. Chris posted on Twitter that his goal is to hopefully get one episode of GeekTime out a month. Seriously? Nobody is going to want to listen to that. You two already lack charisma, nobody is going to listen to a pair of assholes talk about stuff they already heard about three weeks ago. From YouTube ratings and comments, nobody likes this. You have a few fans sure, but most of the response is "this sucks". I have to wonder if it was Chris that even wanted to do the podcast, the last episode was mostly Tim talking.
But that's not all I wanted to bring up. Chris has been losing his mind over the ghost hunting shows. Before he was shitting himself over Grant Wilson "stealing" from him in the Ghost Hunters revival, and now he's really REALLY shitting himself over Jason Hawes "stealing" from him in his new show "Ghost Nation". Don't believe me? Here's his long Facebook post about it.
So you're accusing Hawes of stealing from you because he used the term "Confused Spirits". You didn't invent that term Chris, it's likely been around for a long time. Lots of fictional stories even used the plot device of a ghost that didn't realize they were dead. It's nothing new.
Another one of Chris' patented lies in that ramble too. "He was oddly silent for the first 10 minutes", this is an obvious tell of his to make it seem like they were more interested in him than they really were.
Here's a thought Chris, maybe your "ideas" aren't actually that new. I don't know or care what the ghost community does, but I'm sure they've all discussed the shit you've "discovered" for a while now. You haven't done anything new or revolutionary. You're just some cultish asshole that thinks they know more than they really do.
I hope Chris tries to sue, it would go about as well as that hilariously disastrous Vic Mignogna trial.
One person commented with this.
But I guess Chris said too much because he deleted the reply. Hmmmmm.
That's all for now. Will Chris finally realize he'll never make big with his ghost crap? Probably not...
