VERY COOL.
The RLM is strong with this one 😉
I could never watch Jedi Council with a straight face after seeing the RLM Nerd Crew vids!
😀
Not to mention that on this panel, whoever the guy on the right is, he DOES look like the bastard child of Mike Stoklasa and Rich Evans….
I actually thought Mike was channeling John Rocha ( visually ) on the last ep of RLM’s Star Wars/Justice League Nerd Crew.
I LOVE the show, but Kristian Harloff is sorely missed. I hope he’ll be back next week. I shudder every time Ken Napzok says “Staaaar Waaaars”. The lack of any criticism of the first two Rebels episodes came off poorly. I don’t think Kristian would have let the segment go without noting the serious deficiencies of the start of season 4.
He wasn’t on Schmoes this week either. I think he’s taking some time off to help at home with their new baby. He and the wife had kid #2 very recently.
I wonder if Kristian will depart Collider following John Campea, Jeremy Jahns and David Griffin? If both Mark & Kristian ( The Schmoes ) leave, that’ll be the nail in the coffin for me personally.
StoJa is right, Kristian is taking time off for his new baby. He even announced it at the end of the last Jedi Council he appeared on. It was something like 3 or 4 weeks he’s taking off, so I’m not sure if he’ll be back next week or when exactly. I just know that he can’t come back soon enough.
I also pine for the days of John Campea’s presence on the show. He was so awesome – not only great personality, but the ability to state opinions that were completely opposite of everyone else was so refreshing. I feel like the show is inhabited by sycophants now, and every day is like happy camp.
Campea’s new solo ‘Star Wars Talk Tuesdays’ is actually very entertaining.
I wasn’t aware of it! I am subscribed to Collider Video, and I’ve never seen it come up — is he with a different channel now?
He has his own channel now that he is no longer with Colldier. Just search for ‘John Campea’ on youtube, and his channel should pop up, along with with all his new Star Wars content.
Awesome, thanks for the tip.
I have to disagree…Campea is a total jackass on screen and off and his theories are always so far fetched and lame. He was never right about anything and his knowledge of Star wars isnt as large and vast as he claims..I am glad he is gone…the guy was a super annoying “know it all ” jerk….an arrogant douche who had no reason to be arrogant. He loves the sound of his own voice.
I think we’re in the minority with liking Campea, but that’s OK by me. He was very polarizing. Either people loved him or hated him, no real in-between.
I don’t see why he would. I remember the “Big Three” of leadership at Collider was/were Campea, Dennis Tseng, and Kristian. I would assume Harloff stepped into either Campea’s role or Dennis did and Krstian took his spot. I think Kristian’s title was Director of Content or soemthing.
Schmoes Know and the Schmoedown movie Trivia is part of Collider and both have only gotten bigger since the merger so I think ti would take a lot for him to leave.
I understand why Jeremy left but why did David leave?? IGN must have thrown a lot of money at him. Why leave to go WRITE about TV when you had a great gig doing TVTalk? Maybe IGN was also full-time? Isn’t IGN based in San Francisco, so he has to move too?
I wish the star wars show would talk about Visceral Games. And condemn EAs actions.
