Listened to them a couple of times then stopped. They're a prime example of why I dislike the internet at times. Just like most critics, I agree with them at times and other times I don't. I just don't like how the average A-hole thinks they're professional critics due to the internet giving everyone this giant soapbox.

I would rather read or listen to the reviews of well read professional critics than a bunch of average joes. To be honest one of the main reasons I don't care for them, as well as other wannabe critics is that they are seemingly trying too hard to be cool and hip constantly throwing in unnecessary puns and jokes rather than doing what they're supposed to be doing...informing the audience of the movie. I don't give two ****s about your sense of humour or in some critic's cases, your vocabulary. I just want to know if the movie sounds decent or not.

Basically, these guys are no different than if a few friends of mine got together with me and we started doing reviews on the internet. It's just silly thinking that people will actually give a damn about your sight when it's one out of hundreds.

Well, you're wrong, Figs.

If you asked them right now, they will tell you that they are not professional critics. They will tell you that they are a bunch of average joes. They aren't pretending to be anything other than that and I don't know who or what gave you the idea that they were anything other than that.

So, I guess they just aren't your cup of tea.

and oh, I loove spill.com. :D I've been a fan for almost 2 years probably.

Figs, If your friends are funny then yeah you should make your own film reviews

I like that their not critics that they think for the most part like average joes. How many professional critics will say something along the lines of: "this movie isn't good, but rent it on DVD and get drunk and have a a great time watching it.

There not uppity, there not boring, they make it fun

I've been keeping up with them on Youtube for about a year now. They are hilarious, and I generally agree with their reviews. :up:

Figs

08-09-2010, 03:10 PM

Well, you're wrong, Figs.

Not really, it's my opinion that I don't care for reviews from average joes that throw in unnecessary humour trying to be cute and funny. I just read your next statement and will answer that below if that's what you're referring to about me being "wrong".

If you asked them right now, they will tell you that they are not professional critics. They will tell you that they are a bunch of average joes. They aren't pretending to be anything other than that and I don't know who or what gave you the idea that they were anything other than that.

I know they are a bunch of average joes, it wasn't like I said they were professionals but bad critics. I was just saying that I prefer to read certain well written critics over average joes. Not trying to say they were something they're not.

So, I guess they just aren't your cup of tea.

I guess not, but since you're a big fan and you seemed to have taken a tiny bit of offense to my original post, I will say that it's nothing personal or biased towards them. I dislike most average joe reviews...unless they actually are reviewing the film in a serious and educated manner.

Figs, If your friends are funny then yeah you should make your own film reviews

I get that people like that and certain comments like that are ok with me, they're final thoughts on the film basically. It's the stuff in the middle that can get annoying, the jokes and silly banter.

There not uppity, there not boring, they make it fun

I don't think they're boring either I just get the vibe from some amateur critics that they try to hard to be hip it seems.

webhead731

08-09-2010, 03:33 PM

I don't watch them really go to "should I see this movie?"

Hell no. If I want to see it I will. People either complain too much or praise too much. Everyone's opinion is different. I think their reviews are hilarious, even when I like or hate the movie they are reviewing. I don't agree with everything, but mostly I have the same feelings they do.

I have to agree with Figs to a point. I like the Spill guys well enough but but can't listen to them too much because they come off like they're trying too hard to be funny.

Anyway, the robot is my favorite one. :yay:

That's my main reason for not caring for them as well as a lot of other amatuer critics.

I never said that your average joe's opinion was less important but that most of them are not well read in the world of film. I like my reviews to have a bit of depth to them.

Also, what exactly does "i've lived my life in the art world" mean? It's not impressive to me if that's what you were going for. I should have clarified in my original post that when I typed this "or in some critic's cases, your vocabulary" that was meant towards certain professional critics and not really your average joes. Just because I would rather read from some professional critics does't mean I like them all, I actually hate the pretentious ones, the ones you referred to when you said they think they know everything.

It's quite humorous how some of you seem offended that I don't care for the Spill guys all that much.

The thing I like about them is that they are an older group of guys commenting on a movie and since they aren't really "professional" I guess other that Carlyle (C. Robert Cargill), they don't have that kind of stuck-up and preppy on films like I've seen in other podcasts...They can really be opinionated from time to time though, but I guess we all are..

Figs

08-09-2010, 08:07 PM

What kind of reaction do expect when you don't provide a good reason? Your dislike boils down to, "they try too hard to be funny", and that's kind of a lame reason; especially since they actually are funny.

I don't really find it to be a lame reason necessarily. As for what kind of reaction did I expect. I didn't expect people to take it personally, at least that's what it seemed like.

I don't hate the Spill.com guys, I just find them a tad bit annoying for the most part is all. I know many will disagree but those are just my feelings on it.

Manic

08-09-2010, 08:17 PM

I watch Spill's reviews on Youtube because they're hilarious. That's about it. It's a bunch of guys joking around about a movie they saw, occasionally giving the odd criticism among their humorous commentary.

TNC9852002

08-10-2010, 03:05 PM

Yeah, I initially was drawn to them based on their animated reviews, which are arguably still some of the best animated video reviews on the internet today.

I didn't really get into their podcast stuff until later..

ok first i was not directing my post to you personally if i was i would have quoted you. it was a general question that i felt was retaliative to the thread.

as for the life in the art world, i was just using that as an example maybe i should have explained myself better, i meant i have studied art for most if not all of my education and have had a lot of experience with so called "professional" critics, and some of the crap they believe and spout.

and i still do not understand why someone's opinion is more valid because he/she is a "pro". yes some have a valid opinion which they can back up but quite a lot seem to be ego driven.

i've always wonder what would happen is some of the great artists be they painters, photographers or film-makers who are no longer with us say if they heard what the pros say they were "symbolising" in they're work.

i'm not that fussed if you like spill or not, personally i enjoy there reviews but not always the final result and if we all agreed with them it would be boring as hell

Let's do this!!!!

Love the website. Discovered it a little more then a year ago through IGN.com. Clicked on a link to one of their reviews because the cartoon characters caught my eye, and found it to be hilarious. Shortly afterwards, started listening to a lot of their past reviews. Doesn't really matter if I agree with them or not on a particular movie, as long they're funny, which they usually are.

Not too long after going through their video reviews I found out about their podcasts, which are even funnier. Let's Do This is currently my favorite podcast to listen to. Love that Co-Host 3000!

Kane52630

08-10-2010, 05:10 PM

yeah Im getting hooked on their reviews (thanks to Indrid Cold)

its always entertaining and pretty fun to watch. The audio reviews and their audio blog is even better imo.

Shockdingo

That's a good question. I just assumed he was out for a bit; I've missed a few episodes as of late so I didn't notice an extended absence.

ÆON

08-11-2010, 04:38 AM

does anyone know why Carlye stopped doing reviews?

I think he's just really busy since he does reviews/articles for other sites like AICN and Hollywood.com. But you can still listen to him on two of their podcasts at spill.com

Casius--J

08-11-2010, 06:33 AM

does anyone know why Carlye stopped doing reviews?

I think I remember hearing that he was either getting married or just got married and was busy with that, plus he does reviews for other sites as ÆON said.

Back to topic though, love this site been using it for about a year now and I cant get enough of their reviews. I hardly ever agree with their reviews but I love the humour. I like watching these guys because its something I could see myself doing with my friends.

TNC9852002

08-11-2010, 07:09 AM

Yeah, he was saying that he's got some other things going on and he's had to reduce his time at spill significantly...

PyroChamber

I didnt mind it, its their opinion. I did like Anchorman and Talladega Nights but I recently saw Step Brothers and I thought it was really meh

but hell I did agree with them on the fact that the first 10-15 mins was phenomenal

TNC9852002

I know its their opinion, and Ive disagreed with a whole bunch of their reviews, but still like listening

But this one kind of just felt like a bash session

El_Citrus

08-11-2010, 04:04 PM

I'm a regular visiter to their site and love the podcasts and reviews. About 90% of the time I agree with their opinions.

Regarding Carlyle, he never went into detail, but just said his life was getting a lot busier and that he needed to take a step back from Spill a bit (And he's been married for a while, not just recently). He still does ACOCO and Blu Tuesday for the site.

Co-Host can go really overboard with his final review score (Either Full Price or Some 'Ole Bull****, it seems), but he's a lot of fun to listen to.

My favorite podcast is The League of Extremely Ordinary Gentlemen. Great nerdy discussion and a lot of different opinions and laughs.

PyroChamber

Anyone hear LDT two weeks ago when Korey was talking about how he was getting a little frustrated doing the site?

TNC9852002

08-12-2010, 06:55 AM

Yeah...He had a meltdown. :p

El_Citrus

08-12-2010, 10:10 AM

Which, understandably enough, stemmed from Comic-Con and trying to handle that mess. Going there as a fan is likely enough to drive you insane. I don't want to imagine trying to actually do WORK there.

ÆON

08-13-2010, 08:56 AM

Yeah, and not only that, but hollywood.com sent him by himself, so he had no one to help him out with the work.

Anyways, two new audio reviews have just been put up for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and The Expendables. Haven't seen either movie yet, so don't know if I agree with their final scores, but the reviews were still pretty funny.

Also, a video called Three Crazy Guys On Set has been posted involving Christian Bale vs. Mel Gibson. I thought it was pretty hilarious. Fans of the site should check it out.

Blackman

08-13-2010, 09:09 AM

Yeah that Gibson/Bale/Surprise guest thing was really funny. I know Korey said he wanted to do more of those. So I'm glad to see them get on that.
His meltdown was creepy

TNC9852002

08-13-2010, 09:19 AM

Korey is actually the one person from the Spill crew that looks almost exactly like his cartoon counterpart. Carlyle sorta looks like his character, but everyone else is pretty different.

08-13-2010, 10:29 AM

There's actually a video on YouTube, sort of a mock movie trailer, that shows what at least three of them look like.

08-13-2010, 11:57 AM

The only one that doesn't look as much like their counterpart is Leon, but that's because he's changed his hairstyle so much over time.. :p

Whatever happened to that girl that used to show up from time to time in their old video reviews?

Did anyone mention that they won Best Podcast award a few months ago?

Blackman

08-13-2010, 12:12 PM

Yeah, I saw an old video of him and he looked like he could've been mid 30's, so by now he's probably in his early 40's by now...

The rest of the crew seem to be anywhere between 30-40.

You have to figure that...he went to school with Robert Rodriguez. So that has to be the early to mid 90s. Robert at the time was 23ish.

Then he quit school and got a job at an animation house, working on Space Jam and Quest for Camelot. Mid to late 90s. He has to be in his late 30s or early 40s by now.

I think Caryle is actually one of the younger members of the crew, being 35. He mentioned his age once on 'A Couple of Cold Ones'. Co-Host could be younger too.

But yeah, I was in shock thinking that Korey is that old because he's so youthful. I'm in the belief that once you stop learning in life, that spark, that's when you become old and out of touch.

The latest LDT was great,....damn you spill!!!

Yeah, Korey is 40 (but he acts 16)...From what I've seen of Leon from the video stream of Spill Dot Con, he looks easily 45.

10-07-2011, 01:49 PM

On the recent Lets Do This podcast, they were talking about Steve Jobs and the new iphone (which was recorded before his death). So it's becoming a trend for them, before Jobs it was Macho Man and before that it was Corey Haim. Here's a list of the curse:

LDT Curse
Michael Jackson
Gary Coleman
David Carradine
Farrah Fawcett
Patrick Swayze
Corey Haim
Macho Man

BTW, a while back, I assumed that Korey was in his 40s due to his stories (college, working in the 90s in animation) but it turns out he's only 36. It's fitting since he acts very youthful.

Octoberist

02-01-2012, 05:32 PM

I must say that while I love their reviews, I'm still kinda shocked at their hatred for Bridesmaids. I mean,not just a dislike but hatred. I loved the movie personally.

Kane52630

02-01-2012, 05:40 PM

I'm with the Spill Crew on Bridesmaids, it's a forced comedy with a terrible story.

Octoberist

02-01-2012, 05:44 PM

I disagree but that movie just divides people, mostly men I've noticed. It's very strange.

I think Korey though, tends to be the most fair in reviews. Cohost is hard to read sometimes, Leon tends to go against the grain and Cyrus the most optimistic; and I just remembered that Caryle liked everything.

Octoberist

02-01-2012, 05:45 PM

And must I say that 'Lets Do This' is such a fun show and it's amazing how Billy adds so much to it without making it distracting. Love that dude!

I've been trying to figure out which one it was but I can't remember.

It took me a while to come around to it---I didn't watch the first few volumes where they spent 90% of the time discussing comics and anime. Now that the show has expanded a lot to cover all kinds of news and media topics, I tend to watch them almost every week now...

I'm also enjoying The Loading Bar a lot too..

The newest podcast, Remote Viewing on the other hand, I don't watch all that much, mostly because I don't tend to have a whole lot of time to watch DVDs, let alone buy new ones..

Octoberist

02-02-2012, 04:31 PM

I think Korey is right, and they should be careful not to overload the site with too much content. Eventually, something will be lost in the mix. But in most cases, it's out of his hands due to corporate.

Kane52630

02-02-2012, 04:55 PM

I dig Remote Viewing on a bi-weekly basis and too much content is good if they are organized, which for the most part they are (they just released a youtube page for just the Loading Bar). The site is super easy to navigate and by giving out a lot of content, it gives them more hits on their site.

I love Caryle's insight into films and I agree with most of what he says in his reviews.

SuperSoldier985

02-03-2012, 10:31 AM

I had no problems with Carlyle, but I did notice the same issues in some of his last dozen appearances on ACOCO--he wasn't engaging anymore, he wasn't interacting very well with Korey, and he always seemed like he had something better to do.

Other than that, I loved how he had such insight into the business and with him being a well-known blogger and writer, he brought a lot of credibility to the site I thought, but it's true--he didn't quite fit in with the rest of the guys I'd say..

I'm looking forward to seeing his movie Sinister though..

munchie64

02-03-2012, 11:00 AM

Well. I've only seen (heard) him in the reviews, where I've always found his views very interesting. He had a big fanbase as well, I believe.

MessiahDecoy123

02-03-2012, 04:00 PM

:dry: How?
He just didn't have good chemistry with the other guys.

It seemed like he took their teasing personally and they were growing tired of him. Plus his voice is aggravating if you're not used to it.

I think the current team of Korey, Co-host, Leon and Cyrus is perfect.

munchie64

02-03-2012, 10:58 PM

Fair enough. I also like the current team, especially the greater use of Co-host.

cloverfan98

I enjoy Spill's reviews but some of the team members gets on my nerves. Even though I disagree with Korey alot he has stated alot that he dosen't want to tell you what to think but rather make you laugh, but Cyrus seems to have this "I'm right and and if you don't think like I do you're an idiot and I'll curse you out and laugh at you and for stupidity" personality. He just comes off as extremly pretensious sometimes. Does any one else ever feel like this?

Kane52630

02-04-2012, 09:44 PM

Oh yeah, Cyrus is "that guy" when it comes to films. Even the other Spill crew members makes fun of him for that.

cloverfan98

Ok I'm very relieved to see that I'm not alone in that. I mean I used to LOVE LEOG but I can't stand it any more. Cyrus dosen't just make fun of people, but insults them and everyone one that show just feels very rude to each other and the audiance.

02-17-2012, 05:48 AM

:dry: How?

Carlyle didn't gel with the others. They apparently wanted a relaxed, leisurely environment, but he was always in a rush and they had to schedule around him.

He loved crappy movies. That much is obvious. He would praise terrible movies on a Harry Knowles level. That didn't necessarily make him a bad reviewer since I disagree with some of Leon's reviews. The difference is Carlyle often overwhelmed and talked over the other people in the review and too often steered the conversation towards what he considered were the good points of the movies he liked (which no one else wanted to discuss, because they weren't actually good points).

I just disliked Carlyle. Co-Host was a huge improvement. Guy's a hundred times funnier than Carlyle and has interesting takes on the movies he looks at (as opposed to Carlyle who would just gush about explosions and CGI and "turning off your brain" and other garbage).

Liam_H

02-17-2012, 09:19 AM

I recently discovered the site and all the LTD´s I have heard have had Billy so I dont know what the show was like with out him but I like it.

The show used to be a lot more random when it came to the topics but it was steered towards a lot of stuff about race when Billy came on. Korey has even acknowledged (along with a whole bunch of members) this and is trying to fix it. I along with many others agree that Billy would work best as a periodic guest, like every month or even other month.

He does seem to talk over people a lot, Korey was trying to make a point in the last show but Billy just kept cutting in again and again. Listen to some of the shows in the archive before November of 2011 and you'll notice a difference.

Wow it was better I listened to the Halloween special it was so funny and the reason I orginally wanted to listen to LTD was because Co Host he always says funny things during the movie reviews. I also listened to one were Co Host talked about Black friday so epic.

lol, they really did.

I agree with Korey ultimately---what everyone else did was, they judged the movie as an adaptation of what they knew/expected and not as a movie on its own I think. Hey, don't get me wrong, I wasn't in love with the movie, but the issues that Cyrus and Co-Host had with the movie, didn't bother me nearly as much.

I agree with Korey, the others were far too harsh and honestly I found a lot of their criticism's nitpicky and over the top.

I don't take anything they say seriously so it never bothers me.

I agree mostly with Leon, Co-Host, and Cyrus on this one, the movie felt off to me and was kinda boring...but the parts that worked really worked.

neither do I really. I just like to see what they have to say because its usually funny and to be fair I thought they were quite funny in their review for ASM

Spoilers or no? I don't care about the minor spoilers that some oversensitive people freak out about, but I don't want anything major spoiled.

I haven't listened to it yet but based on the comments section, just a few minor spoilers near the end.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess 3 out 4 loved it.

Obvious Nolanites are obvious.

Oh god enough with the tired "Nolanite" crap. It's possible to love the movie without worshipping Nolan otherwise it wouldn't have a RT score in the 80s.

I don't know if I want to listen to the audio review yet...They've been known to drop minor yet important and interesting spoilers in their audio reviews that have affected my movie experience..

I still have 6 hours to go...

Yeah but some people do worship Nolan.

The Spill Crew included.

Prove it or stop. They're professional reviewers. Should they give a praised movie a bad review just to prove they don't belong to this Nolanite cult? If it's a bad film it will get a bad review, but I think some of you desperately want to be "too cool for school" with your Nolanite bashing when I'm sure none of you have seen the movie either.

Scorsese's films consistently get good reviews too and yet I never hear about scorsesites.

I think they can be insightful but focus more on the humor aspect than ever before. I still like the reviews but mostly for Corey. Co-Host is hilarious though.

I am so glad Korey didn't release that TDKR short. It certainly would've caused a s**tstorm regardless of the circumstances. Its probably gonna be buried forever but things happen.

Huh? What are you talking about?

Have you listened to the the most recent ACOCO? The one released today where Korey revealed they had been working on a short for TDKR for a couple of months. But the topic of it was nerd rage, taking place in a theater, deaths occur...so you can see how badly it could've turned out for them. Even if it was released before the shooting happened.

scorsese fans dont send death threat and attack anyone who criticises him, i wouldn't say the spill crew are nolanites but they certainly outnumber the regular fans

Just discovered these guys. I enjoy podcasts and reviews like this. I don't let them effect my opinion on the film or whether I should see a film. It's mostly that I find group discussions like this enjoyable and I like to hear people's opinions on things. Helps me see things I didn't before and find new perspectives.
