Hang onto something. Strap in. Brace yourself.
I'm about to become the first & only person to *ever* compare Rich Evans to Orlando Bloom.
Bloom has been - arguably, of course - one of the most successful supporting actors in modern cinematic history. Between Lord of the Rings & Pirates of the Caribbean, this guy seemed to be obviously destined for the bigtime.
And then Kingdom of Heaven happened... the can't-miss follow-up to Gladiator, directed by Ridley Scott with a huge budget, and *starring* Orlando Bloom, who had somehow been overlooked for a major leading role.
And that movie fell right on its face. Hard.
Which brings me to Rich Evans, another "eternal second-fiddle", who could yet be called the heart of RedLetterMedia: this seeming buffoon who nonetheless is impossible not to like, and always has something brilliant to contribute, just as you begin to wonder why the hell he's even there. Every episode they do without him just feels somewhat... soulless.
But Space Cop is a stark reminder as to why he's never really in the pilot's chair. I hate to say it, but what a debacle.
I get it: he's stupid, fat & lazy. But it's a one-note joke that gets old immediately, and drags down whatever "charm" the rest of the production might have had. I mean, hell, I recently heaved something into the toilet with more magnetism.
It's so bad that the introduction of Mike Stoklasa's character is a desperately-needed life preserver thrown in, just in the nick of time. That, and an honorable mention for Jocelyn Ridgely's bazookas. How's that for metaphors?
Anyway, I absolutely love silly crap, but this was a generally disappointing waste of time. I'd give it a lower rating if not for their usual - and more entertaining - fare.
