The DreadHead Chronicles Episode 7: Farewell Mike Richards

[theawddrifter]

What happened to Reelz,they got rid of Dailies and now Tori is the host of moviemob.Now if you want ur dailys news you have to watch it the whole day just for lil tidbits at the end of the hour.Whos running Reelz...what have they done?

[IconMatthew1]

They got rid of Dailies?! I though that was their head show! WTF?!! I need to make a video on this!

[theawddrifter]

What happened to ReelZ they changed there schedule,Mike has barely be gone for 2 week and so many things have changed,now Dailies is on 5pm and not 3pm like it use to be and Movieup is on Fridays now...Whats happening?

[IconMatthew1]

I don't know why Dailies isn't on at 3pm here on the west coast either I really looked forward to it at that time because it made it easier for me to watch. I guess there are several schedule changes going around.

[theawddrifter]

It made it easier for me to watch as well,my how things have changed since Mike left...I want him back.

[IconMatthew1]

Me too right now they seem to be trying out different hosts (Hall, Simonian & Rubin) like all three of them wonder if they'll try out others like Reynoso as host. I'm a reelz addict but it was shocking as literally the first Dailies episode I watch when I got back from Ohio was Mike leaving, I of course recorded it to do my reaction later.

[theawddrifter]

Well its nice to see that Im not alone on the ReelZ circuit.Just these last few weeks tho it doesnt seem like the same channel anymore.

[IconMatthew1]

hmmmm I still like it but yeah I agree they are for sure going through some changes I guess trying to break into that big main stream audience.

[rockman4life]

damn this one sucked for me matt, i have no clue what the f*** this shows and hosts are lol

[PrinceSQUEEZY]

uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh... nigga u gay!!!

[theawddrifter]

I was unaware he was leaving as well,I came back Monday,missed Fridays show and he was gone,thought he was on vacation or something.So sad,he was a great host.Whatever happened to Chi Lan on the BigTease?Did they get rid of her as well?

[IconMatthew1]

I wondered the same thing she must've left as well but I like Jill on the big tease so it's all good. Yeah Richards will be missed but like I said Hall is doing a good job.

[antibimbo21]

It's called therapy, Matt...why don't you try it once and a while....

[kolchak33]

Good video, but I think Ebert and Roeper leaving "At the Movies" is a bigger deal. Especially since it ran for 22 years after Ebert co-founded the program.

I think Reelz needs to work on their programming, but find movie mob very interesting because I think it paints a vivid picture of what's going through the average audience member's mind. There's a tremendous disconnect between the average moviegoer and the true lover of film.

[IconMatthew1]

Actually I had no idea they left At the Movies I would've made a double freak out video, that would've rivaled the whopper freakouts. That's sad, really sad.

[kolchak33]

ABC told them they wanted to take it into a "new direction" as opposed to the simplified style (that's stayed the same for all these years) of two guys in a theater talking about movies. I think they wanted more of an "extra" style show. So Ebert bailed and then Roeper had contract problems and left.

Roeper said he'll be getting a program on a different network, though. But for right now ABC has replaced them both with Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz.

[ProfessorFenwick]

Who da fuck are Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz?! ABC are some idiots for that! I am sad to see Mike Richards go though funny video.

[GorTheMovieGod]

lol funny ass video man
