  Kieran, Justin, and Tony were given a golden opportunity riding off the back of James. The thing they never quite understood was people were there to see James not them.

  It’s an anecdotal story, but I met James at an event and the screen wave guys were there. James was awesome and polite, seemed generally happy to meet everyone. The screen wave guys were loud and tried to interject themselves into conversations as most people were ignoring them over James. Now, that’s my experience and doesn’t paint the whole picture, and obviously doesn’t have anything to do with Joe he should or shouldn’t have been compensated for his work, but it does paint a little picture on how the cinemassacre/screen wave combination wasn’t quite working.

  it sucks to quit a job, but it also feels absolutely amazing to leave a shitty job.

  I like how Kieran keeps saying he doesn't want to talk about it and wants to stay out of the spotlight, yet he kept talking about it and now has set up a Patreon...

  James has provided us with some of the most re-watchable content on youtube. He is a legend.

  They accuse Keiran of trying to steal rental reviews, when Tony essentially stole rental reviews and rebranded it Hack The Movies lmao

  Interesting point in terms of the AVGN movie. Reminds me that a few years ago, a Capcom exec made a point that the Street Fighter movie, for all its criticism, still brings in about $500,000 a year from TV broadcasting rights (this might have even gone up with the rise of streaming and on-demand video). <br>Since they completely financed the movie, they still get the returns and at that point, it’s just free money.

  If they thought Kieran was an issue, then they suck for leaving him as the sole writer of the show.

  Mike is literally The Nerd and his anger and humor in the flesh. While James acts, Mike IS

  I definitely prefer the days of Cinemassacre when it was just James &amp; Mike, ever since the other dudes started being more active in their content I feel like the authenticity took a huge nose dive and turned into husk of what the channel used to be. People watch the channel for James &amp; Mike, oh and Bootsy too! Miss that guy
