Hey everyone. We're currently editing the next Best of the Worst as well as a new "Mike and Jay Talk About" video for the new-ish Sean Baker movie Red Rocket. The BOTW episode is basically a normal 3 movie episode, but we did add a fun little gimmick to the beginning to pick the movies. And the Red Rocket video was intended to just be a quick recommendation, but we ending up talking a little more than we normally do for a "Talk About" video. 

Also, we've recently been going through all our old hard drives to archive everything . Up until now, our videos have been spread across tons and tons of different drives over the years, but now our entire back catalogue has been backed up and archived onto one big NAS server.  It was a big undertaking but the point being, we found a couple of old videos that haven't really been seen probably since the Blip days (which means they haven't been seen at all by a lot of you). Nothing amazing, but some fun little one-off videos we kind of forgot about and we'll be posting them here to Patreon soon.

Ooh fun, I can't wait to see some old hidden gems from the archives

As an IT professional, I'm super happy to hear that stuff is properly stored somewhere! Excited to see all the stuff you're dropping soon.

Did you store your old hard drives in a zombie infested salt mine? Or was it a castle?

Hard drive backup systems are very boring but extremely important. It took me years to finally have a reliable system in place to prevent data loss in case one of them failed. Glad you have that taken care of, thanks for all of your hard work to keep us entertained 🥳!

Peter Varga

yay! lost videos! and new ones! looking forward to all!

Baby, you got me as NAS server!

All I want to see is you guys talking about every Star Trek episode from TOS to DS9 in a row.

Awesome thanks maties

Please RLM stick to the 3:2:1 principle of backups: 3 copies of all videos, 2 of which are on different media (drive, and perhaps blu ray or tape), of which 1 is on different location altogether.

I'm surprised you haven't been encouraged into backing up your data by a good old disk crash, or one of them computer instructional tapes. Either way, I'm sure the level of quality amid this gold mine ought to inspire the filmmakers of tomorrow's cinema. And nothing embarrassing will transpire.

As another IT professional, this also fills my heart with joy. :)

My top 3 RLM shows: BotW Re:View Half in the Bag The main reason I prefer BotW is the "panel" format. I really like it best when there's at least 3 people talking.

Kinda wish you guys hadn’t built the NAS. You could have done a collab with Linus Tech Tips and they would have helped you build some ridiculous. Make sure you have enough fans to keep it cool drives put out a lot more heat then you’d expect.

Yessss!!! Hopefully we get to see the Robocop commentary promo that got pulled.

Zan Ferguson

I want Mike and Rich to do a commentary track for (at least) every TNG episode.

Lance Batty

I'm always excited for a new BotW episode... is it odd that I watch the first half, then go watch all 3 movies and then watch the discussion? Yes? Oh well, I do it anyway ha-ha.

jas722

that's dedication, BOTW home game. Good luck finding those black spine titles :D

Red Rocket was great! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Love Sean Baker

Manuel Johnen

I don't know how to feel about Sean Baker... ... ... I really don't... :/

I've seen all BotW at least twice. Primo entertaino.

Zan Ferguson

Man. I wish I could see how many times I’ve watched them, or maybe it would be depressing. Gotta be easily ten times each…

RLM: “we’re working on a new BOTW and will be posting old Blip videos soon….” Me: “Shut up and take my money!”

Make sure that NAS server has proper backups - it is probably a large initial dataset but has low delta. I'm sure you have good advisors but be aware of the eggs in a basket scenario.

I watched blip but I hadn't found you yet then. Can't wait to see anything and everything!

What is this blip they speak of?

Will Jack be in this one? 👀

Can you insert this in front of the old Blip videos? They’ll feel more authentic. https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7nIb/dennys-red-white-and-blue-specials-tastes-american

I love Denny's frozen butter, caramel dipped, batter fried gut-buster dessert Mmmmm Mmmmm. That's good eatin. It's on Denny's special menu-the crushing substernal chest pain one.

The RLM Library should be protected better than the Svalbard Seed Vault.

Is there a place where your early Mr. Plinkett reviews of the TNG movies and the Star Wars prequels are up in good quality and each as one long video as opposed to like 8 or 9 ten minute videos all broken up? I know when you guys originally uploaded them to YouTube they made you break them up into 10 minute clips because they didn't allow longer videos, and their compression algorithm made them look like crap online, so I was wondering if there were good quality ones just as one long video each anywhere.

Cool! Will I need to up my pledge to see the vids?

Hey Guys, doing archiving at work myself. Have you considered using an LTO for your long term storage backup. We just got one for our production house. More reliable than drives.

Please do a HITB for Peacemaker!

Archiving and moving files is such a pain. I feel you for that but what a relief it must be to know everything is safe. Looking forward to those Blip vids!

Hell yes! Thank you for your hard work backing everything up - not sure why you didn't just use a salt mine? So stoked to see what you'll share with us 😍

Bring back "Where's Deathlist?"!

Awesome. Purchased Red Rocket, watching it now

Mike and Jay Talk About is my favorite

New BOTW gimmick!!

Who writes these updates? They deserve a hug and beer.

Just hope you're not using QNAP for NAS, specially consumer grade stuff... You're far better off using FreeNAS. I live in ND, and I can personally can come help if you promise me a few Spotted Cow ;) I can even grill some Churrasco too.

So excited for the Red Rocket video. Glad you guys are doing a video on it

Just to echo some of the other comments, remember RAID is not a backup, make sure someone is checking the health of the NAS at least weekly (don't fail like Linus Tech Tips), and institute a 3-2-1 backup policy.

As a nerd, I would be very interested in seeing your NAS solution :)

Lance Batty

I like how so many people are trying to give advice and tell them what to do as if they don't know exactly what they're doing. I mean no Tea or shade to ya'll but, come one... they know what they're doing...

I (me personally) love the BotW gimmicks. Some of my favorite episodes (Black Spine Jenga, Christmas or Crocs/Cats/Canon, movie cover themes drawn from a bucket etc).

Juan Calvo

No more vhs tapes for Rich to manually rewind.

Just hurry up and get it all done. This is the only thing that sustains me. It's the only thing I have left in life.

I'd love if you did Moonfall review. Don't know what show you'd do it on...It's not movie enough for Half in the Bag but it's too movie for BOTW. Maybe you need a special Half of the Worst for it.

Finally, after 12 days without internet access, I'm back to visit my favorite independent filmmakers. I remember the Blip days, where every video you watched was followed by The Care Boars Save Christmas, which is also featured in Gorilla Interrupted. To use a funny line by Detective Cooper: I've never seen a Blip crash like that since the Hindenburg. Also, my Lightning Fast VCR Repair mug arrived lightning fast. Can life be any better? :)

Please invest in off-site storage/backups, too!

Have they stopped doing weekly updates for the $2 tier??
