Lmao, this dude probably makes over 200k annual. Easy. Working for himself.
Ryder Taylor
He gets paid to see and talk about movies all day, including shitty b-movies that are his true passion
What's wrong with all of that?
Nathaniel Edwards
It's not a productive way of life and is completely bereft of any real accomplishments.
Hunter Stewart
That's a low estimate, he has 7,621 patreons
Luke Campbell
Because Mike gets to enjoy content he's proud of while hanging out with friends, laughing and making money doing something that isn't soulless. Unlike another Mike (of the Bootsy jealousy douchebag variety) interacting in a group that lacks true bonds or chemistry
he shills for marvel so its easy 2 million per year but he has to pay jay,rich,jack,some bald guy,beardfat, at least two extra people so he ends up with min wage.
a pet peeve I have of them I noticed recently is their reluctance to admit they found anything funny in the movie they watched. Unless it's mocking a movie for some stupid error or bad writing/acting, they always seem like they are too cool for comedy
Oliver Gray
I hope he's saving it because he only gets a decade of it. They didn't start making big patreon bucks until 2013 and they ran out of creative steam in 2015 and are just coasting on their past work. Space Cop proved they simply can't make movies and are afraid to seriously try. Their opinions and ideas have been exposed as idiotic and uninformed and their biggest paying fans are slowly drifting away. In 5 years these guys will be irrelevant. I just hope they don't think the gravy train will last forever.
Nicholas Morgan
Thanks for the hot take DSP. You were so right about Minecraft, Jack Black's Youtube Channel and every other of your predictions
why are there so few POC on their show? They need to reflect on their perpetuation and re-entrenchment of harmful norms and systemic racism. They could hire a diversity firm to train their on how to change their attitudes and policies, and they could make a video about it, encouraging other creators to do the same. There are a lot of diversity specialists with PHDs in the field who need to be seen publicly doing what they do best, and people like mike (cis white male) have a civil duty to help promote justice.
>making all of this shit up because you're mad people on the internet are making money Have sex
Angel Brooks
Oh my did this really happen? Is luke going to be ok?
Austin Cruz
far from being a failure, they should produce content in a more regular basis. its way too random.
i also think its been a long time they dont have an interesting review and shit too much on top of their audience, but anyone who pay these guys deserve it anyway.
Nicholas Wood
Is this some stupid alt right /pol/ insult?
William Baker
>implying there is a way to not wake up a jaded 41 year old How old are you?
there's a lot of people who are interested in movies, but don't want to watch them, especially if they're new movies. at the same time, they like listening to familiar voices talk.
it doesn't matter if their opinions are correct or not, the audience isn't going to watch the movies anyway. the review is itself the end product.
Dylan Gomez
lol it's you
Jacob Evans
That's a stupid fucking thing to say and you should feel stupid for saying it.
Hunter Bell
>finally make some films of your own, but intentionally bad so they'll be exempt from criticism yeah that only works if you prove yourself first by making good films, which he never did. you're right about the trying to be exempt from criticism part though. his ego couldn't handle it

I'm 6'4, why?
Camden Long
>it's supposed to be bad haha Do they have one sincere bone in their body?
>>implying there is a way to not wake up a jaded 41 year old being tall, healthy and with tons of cash. waking up every morning with a hot 16 year old ukranian sex slave next to you
Jason Brooks
>wake up one morning a jaded 41 year-old fat fuck
I think you're projecting way too much. You might be jaded when your Mike's age, but you have no proof Mike is unhappy. There is so little of their personal lives revealed in any of their content. I dare you to achieve a modicum of his cultural impact or success
They had that jew Max Landix on and it was fucking awkward so they said never again.You have to be funny and have chemistry with the rest of the guys, that inherently excludes non whites.
Asher Martin
I did not need to see those tits. Fuck you user.
Grayson Sanders
>but you have no proof Mike is unhappy. he looks 10 years older and grew up in illinois. he IS unhappy

Hollywood is full of guys like him, cynical, jaded and hypocritical. The other guys have more connections to the industry. If he wanted to make a difference, he needed to be different but he idn't. He's very much like Rian Johnson and i'm glad we'll never see a movie directed by him.
Landon Lee
>i'm glad we'll never see a movie directed by him. we did
Juan Mitchell
by "ironically buying stupid capeshit merch" wow they showed us the people that don't donate to there patreon
Aiden White
Isn't Mike Stoklasa responsible for one of the most sincere, well-received and widely distributed takedowns of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, to the point people have actually blamed Mike for Lucas selling Star Wars to Disney and paving way for the sequel trilogy?
Doesn't that make him influential, even if it is just in terms of ironic infamy?
Caleb Young
They're based. They don't give a shit about Yea Forums retards. RLM are too busy enjoying their lives doing something they love and making money
I feel like their Half in the Bag on TLJ was much less scathing than their Plinkett review
Jack Watson
>, to the point people have actually blamed Mike for Lucas selling Star Wars to Disney and paving way for the sequel trilogy? no one cares about prequel fags. star wars was shit after episode 6 and ACTUAL lucas ideas for episodes 7,8,9 trilogy were terrible - just as bad as rian's writing
Bentley Clark
Do you think they will ever try again? People forget about The Recovered, their only sincere attempt at filmmaking. It was horrible
>he's another friend who helps out. with what? contributing none of the fan banter like canadians do?
Kevin Thompson
they get paid on a per basis. Aids moby some times does editing work for them

. . . and?
Your point?
The fact is, people genuinely believe the Plinkett reviews influenced the Star Wars IP changing hands.
What the fuck has literally anybody else done of note in the industry?
Easton Adams
They're powerful enough that the SJW media had to come out and defend their shitheap Star Wars film when they released the TLJ Plinkett. dailydot.com/parsec/mr-plinkett-last-jedi/

James Foster
But he is an accomplished musician.

Do you think getting fucked by Michael Jackson baked his noodle, as they used to say in 1999?
Caleb Lewis
Mike has been around longer than Tay Zonday in several different incarnations.
Let's discuss the honest facts about Mike Stoklasa.
1) He is responsible for a series of reviews about the Star Wars prequel trilogy that is ridiculously famous, well received and praised. There is a non-zero chance its effect on public perception of the prequel trilogy goes all the way to the top and affected George Lucas's deal with Disney.
2) Mike Stoklasa makes a fair amount of money reviewing all types of movies, as himself and as Plinkett, bad b movies and popular blockbusters, by himself and with his friends. He is profiting off what he does in a substantial way.
3) Mike Stoklasa has interacted with a fair number of "real" celebrities, both in person and on twitter. He's had on Tim Heidecker, Macaulay Culkin, Max Landis, Patton Oswalt. Rian Johnson, director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, said he feared RedLetterMedia on twitter.
Considering this, all we have to make any wild guesses on how jaded Mike is is based on random people on Yea Forums doing armchair psychologist guesses that Mike desperately wanted to be the next Stanley Kubrick or something and is so assblasted he is literally not one of the most famous directors of all time that he hates himself.
As opposed to, I don't know, having learned to live with not being super famous like most people on the planet.
Austin Russell
Jay and his bf look cute together.
Carter Harris
>Tim Heidecker, Macaulay Culkin, Max Landis, Patton Oswalt. other than mac those are literally whos to zoomers and non americans
Oliver Sullivan
>zoomers and non americans
Why would Gen X-ers from Wisconsin give half a shit about non-Americans or Gen Z?
Fuck, Space Cop was literally the most popular movie in a non-American country, do you really think Mike cares Ugandans love his directing?
You've never had to work a shit job. Being your own boss is freedom.
Kayden Campbell
despite what you might think everyone doesn't have to cater to zoomers. Also, as a non-american I can say that I know exactly who Home Alone man, Death of Supermanrant man and fat ugly whiny dead wife """comedian""" man are.
Lincoln Williams
no way this dude is 34. add 10 or 15 years maybe
Oliver Jackson
These fags are on Disney payroll. Who else is feeding their patreon if not studios? I know that because they refused to aknowledge rey as a Mary Sue and that's a red flag because Disney-Lucasfilm has forbidden their employees from even mentioning it. they aren't allowed to spell those words even if it's to say she isn't a mary sue.
Austin Hill
who's the second guy from the left?
Dylan Reyes
the accomplishment is to be free of living in a society
they wont try cos they FINALLY realized filmmaking isnt just about a story, its the whole package. if all you got is a story, write a book.
Christopher Barnes
oh shit you guys, I just remember some weeks ago I had a weird dream where I visited RLM. from the get go Mike hated my guts, Jay was just being weird and after we wandered the streets, Mike showed me his rundown Pizza place he was running next to RLM. only some highschoolers seemed to use this place, but constantly made fun of Mike - he looked so sad and old. he was also wearing flip flops and cargo pants and I still remember the huge keychain he was holding, with a faded RLM logo on it.
What comes after: Rich: restarts PreRec but this time with a big breasted bimbo instead of Jack Jay: starts his own review channel and goes full youtube cancer like and subscribe retard and does collabs with anyone who buys him a free beer Mike: after realizing what he lost by closing RLM he kills himself after killing Josh in a murder suicide pact
Jace Powell
>Rich: restarts PreRec but this time with a big breasted bimbo instead of Jack i'd watch that
I'd watch it but Jack would have to be the big breasted bimbo after extensive feminization and Mike reneges on the pact seeing how sloppily he killed Josh
Joshua Butler
>There is a non-zero chance its effect on public perception of the prequel trilogy goes all the way to the top and affected George Lucas's deal with Disney.
>2012 >Mr. Plinkett is the catylist for the creation of Disney Wars

They're also basically the siskel and ebert of our time.

If you didn't they confirmed they did shoot a ghost hunting thing once, but never released it. I doubt they ever will, because Jessi was there.

Other than fear of sucking, that is.

It's a pretty dumb idea to train yourself to get into an industry that is mostly nepotism not a meritocracy. Even most cameramen are just sons of super rich people. It's a high cost investment to get started in the movies and basically all the new upcoming directors had shitloads of money to produce films themselves.
That being said, it's also hard to mock failure when most career tracks have dried up. Every specialist job is completely flooded with people, as the last generation of Western civilisation desperately tries to find work that isn't mediocre
Chase Wright
Lack of vision. You don't need talent, but you have to have a vision you want to see done. If you don't, there's not much you can do...how could you? No vision, no story, no nothing.
Zachary Gutierrez
Yeah, but any moron can make a movie and sell it on Amazon Video.
Jacob Barnes
Not really. Most successful internet reviewers (like Jahns and Stuckman) have no formal education in film whatsoever.
Mike's knowledge of film theory is miles above most RT critics as well.
Michael King
Reminds me of that movie where Richard Dreyfuss plays an aspiring writer who realises he has nothing to write about and throws a 500-page manuscript into the sea or some shit
Samuel Garcia
>because Jessi was there. Ah what, that would really stop them? It's not like they removed all the old shit she was in off the channel.
Sebastian Edwards
Only Jay and Rich get paid IIRC. Josh and Jack (at least Jack) do commercials for a living.
Owen Reed
You forgot a few things: >tried to force his girlfriend into his livelihood, undoubtedly at her behest >fanbase rightfully mocked both of them and he cowardly swept the whole thing under the rug >gave glowing reviews to absolute fucking garbage like Battle Los Angeles >dislikes John Carpenter movies and soundtracks >dislikes movies that don't explicitly spell out plot details, specifically heist movies and horror films, but criticizes popcorn blockbusters for doing exactly that >dislikes surrealism, abstract filmmaking, or any attempt to advance the medium beyond mainstream drivel >befriends z-grade "celebrities" and invites them on regardless of chemistry or how well they fit into the group >also sweeps this under the rug when they turn out to be autists and you have to constantly cut their audio so you can have a proper discussion (kabasinski) or sex perverts (landis)

Michael "Mike" Stoklasa, also known as "Third Reich" Mike[1], Mike "The Nigger Grave Digger" Stoklasa[2], and Mike "the Milwaukee Mulatto Murderer" Stoklasa[3], is a prolific member of the Wisconsin cinephile and white supremacist communities. He is best known for his Plinkett Reviews, in which he humourously reviews films such as Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace[4] and Triumph of the Will[5]. Though never convicted of any crime, the Milwaukee Police Department considers Stoklasa to be connected to the Walnut Street Lynchings of 1998-99.[26] Stoklasa has vehemently denied his involvement in the crimes. "No, I was absolutely not involved in that... tragedy. I find it disgusting that you would accuse me of such a thing merely because of my political and social values. If my testimony is not enough, my business partners Jay Bauman and Dolf Herrman can vouch for me. I offer my condolences to the families of the victim,"[27] Stoklasa said in court when questioned about the lynchings by prosecutor William Carpenter. After Stoklasa was found innocent, Carpenter told reporters afterwards that Stoklasa had a hint of a smile when he said "tragedy"[28] and that Herrman was hardly a trustworthy individual, having served time in prison for racially charged assaults and vandalism.[29]
those talentless hacks have connections though. you need talent and connections or just connections
Parker Hughes

Camden Gray
And nobody will watch it even it's it good. The world is utterly saturated with media. If you don't have connections or money to spread the word, nobody will ever see your film. These "indie success stories" all turn out to be kids with heirs to massive fortunes. Look at Dolan for example
Joshua Harris

I actually met Mike and Jay at a con a while ago, I went with my girlfriend. When we approached them Mike looked at me then at my girlfriend and said "The fuck you doing with this stupid cunt? Get with this dick or get raped you whore.", I was completely shocked and didn't know if he was joking so I stood in silence just not sure of what to say. Then a voice was heard from behind him "Oh Mike you found another goofball?", "Yeah Jay, this one looks like a complete dick head, his girlfriend is pretty banging though, I'd fuck her asshole", "Oh yeah, maybe we should fill his girlfriend ass with goofballs so she'd know how much of a goofball he is" . Right at that moment Mike jumped on my girlfriend and pulled her pants down, I tried to stop him but Jay jumped on me and held me down he started whispering in my ear "She's going to get the goofballs and you aint going to do nothing about it!", I watched on in horror as my girlfriend stared at me in the eyes as Mike undressed her and rammed his fingers up her ass, she was trying to scream but Mike just kept pushing her head down. Mike looked at me and mouthed the word "Goofball", It was like a silent movie, I watched as Mile then proceeded to pull out his testicles and forcibly push them into her anus with his hands. Jay who was still holding me down started to squeal into my ear "She's getting the goofballs", he started to twist my nipple as far as it could go, and I could feel blood trickling from it onto my shirt, I felt what I can assume was Jays boner pushing into my back... I blacked out."

I thought I was being followed by the RLM guys one night, most likely the spindly one. Then I got a better look at what was following me as it passed by a streetlight and I realized it was just somebody's lost umbrella, the spokes bent and flailing, being blown down the street by the wind. Then I realized there was no wind that night and, well the hours of terror that followed are best left for another day.
