comment
Movies with Mikey is a series on the YouTube channel FilmJoy by ex-Gearbox Software developer Mikey Neumann and his editor Thaddeus. The series is known for its goofy optimism (courtesy of Mikey's For Happiness outlook), and flashy style thanks to Thaddeus' mastery of Adobe After Effects.Mikey's philosophy is to celebrate the positive aspects of movies and to analyze the themes and character arcs, trying to say something new about each movie he covers. He also co-created with Thaddeus a separate series under the FilmJoy brand called Deep Dive, where he, Zoe Wells, Elisa Melendez, and fellow Gearbox employee Sam Winkler watch movies that have been panned critically and commercially, and they must find the positive aspects of them.In 2017, Movies With Mikey was nominated for an Emmy Award.

Foregone Conclusion
 Movies with Mikey (Web Video) / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Foregone Conclusion: His reviews of movies in the vein of "Does (X) Hold Up" answers the question by the sheer fact that the video exists: Yes, the movie holds up, and Mikey is going to take the next 15-20 minutes to tell you why and how it's still relevant. In deference to this obviousness, Mikey usually answers the question immediately in the video.

Vindicated by Historyinvoked: Discussed as a major point in his "How We See Star Wars" two-parter, namely with how despite it currently being the gold standard everyone compares all future Star Wars films to, The Empire Strikes Back was extremely controversial at the time of release, with many debating the merits of its more unusual story structure, uncharacteristically darker tone, and lack of closure since the final part of the trilogy wasn't out yet. In other words, the exact same reaction people had to The Last Jedi. Also, he points out the inversion: people loved The Phantom Menace when it came out, and critics praised Jar Jar Binks.

Soft Reboot: He argues that Thor: Ragnarok is one to the Thor series. The original Chainsawsuit Original series was specifically devoted to reviewing 90's movies, starting with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990). This premise was more or less abandoned, and now he reviews whatever movies he wants, though occasionally he brings up what the original premise was, such as when he goes back to look at a 90's movie.

Formula-Breaking Episode
 Movies with Mikey (Web Video) / int_670db7d7
comment
Formula-Breaking Episode: "Get Off the Floor" is the largest departure from the series' format by a wide margin, as rather than being a retrospective on a piece of media, it's a mini-autobiography of Mikey's experiences following his ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis, putting previous episodes of the series in this context. His review of Big Trouble in Little China is delivered entirely in crusty, posh British accent, and frequently meanders into Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness. Because Mikey thought it would be hilarious.

Lemony Narrator: Mikey has a very idiosyncratic style of narration, frequently mumbling to himself about topics that come up in the video (dubbed "catawumpus") and describing the movies using the word choice of a college-educated film major but the tone of an excited child. This is part of the reason for his show's popularity.

Breather Episode: Mikey considers Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to be one to the entire Harry Potter film series, as it allowed the heavily-burdened teenage characters moments to be normal teenagers like they were in a John Hughes-esque romcom (as well as gave the audience all the Fanservice they could cram in) before the Grand Finale. He finds the fact that it manages to pull this off while continuing to actually lead up to said finale and escalate the already-extreme tension nothing short of miraculous.

Villain Protagonist
 Movies with Mikey (Web Video) / int_898ff050
comment
Villain Protagonist: His video on The Dark Knight is a lengthy discussion on how he considers The Joker to be just as much of a heroic protagonist (for a certain definition of one, anyway) as Batman himself. invoked In one of his rare negative videos, he considers Thanos of Avengers: Infinity War to be one of these done poorly due to how it simultaneously plays him as a mad half-Omnicidal Maniac who treats his supposed loved ones with horrific cruelty, but also a sympathetic, even agreeable figure in his quest for genocide. Mikey finds his character horrendously cynical in how relatable the audience is supposed to find him, especially since it inadvertently implies that cruelty is a valid approach for love.

comment
Mood Whiplash: Despite Mikey's goal for the series being to celebrate the sheer joy of films, his videos often end up driving into pretty emotional and sad territory by the end. Maybe the most extreme version is his video Get Off The Floor, where he tells an anecdote about how he thought he had psychic powers due to the Ativan he had to be put on in order to get a series of MRIs during his stay in the hospital. The rest of the video is about him trying to put his life back together after losing the ability to move, which resulted from his previously undiagnosed (or relatively benign) multiple sclerosis. The entirety of the review of The Iron Giant, coming as it did after a particularly horrific terror attack in Florida. The film ultimate ends with an impassion plea on the verge of tears to treat other people as human beings. This is after ten minutes of discussing the hilarity and awesomeness of Brad Bird's directorial and animation style.

Applicabilityinvoked: During his analysis on John Wick, Mikey notes the Word of God analogy where "If John and Viggo are the gods of New York, Winston is the Titan" and extends it to compare John's complicated, yet epic Roaring Rampage of Revenge in the criminal underworld as several gods and titans clashing on Mount Olympus away from the mortal realm, with several of John's allies and enemies in his quest being analogous to Greek gods or titans. Mikey notes how it likely wasn't intended to line up that far but finds it fascinating how much it actually does.

Damned by Faint Praise: His analysis of The Rise of Skywalker concludes that it's not as bad as people make it out to be, and is a fun, harmless action flick...But it also shows how Star Wars has lost all artistic integrity, and retroactively undoes the artistic integrity it once had, to the point where Mikey firmly takes back when he said Star Wars was important to our culture, and that he has no intention of covering the franchise ever again (alongside the Marvel Cinematic Universe). His analysis of Space Jam: A New Legacy, despite tearing the film apart for its rabidly corporate nature, how it highlights how far Warner Bros. has fallen, and warped morals, similar to The Rise of Skywalker he says that the film is "fine" on its own and in general that he finds the act of hating on media made for kids online to be "cynical".

A Rare Sentence: In "A Eulogy for Batman & Robin", in the final eulogy, Mikey says, "It was time to move on from Tim Burton to Joel Schumacher. That's a sentence that exists."

Determinator: Get Off The Floor is about Mikey's attempt to continue the show while learning how to walk and talk again after his body essentially shut down for part of 2017. A lot of the earlier episodes, including ones on Moon, Amélie, and Creed, were him "giving [[himself]] Rudy speeches" to get himself to keep going with just life in general.

The Oner: Mikey loves a good oner, and spends a sizable amount of time in his review of Last Action Hero talking about how many completely ridiculous oners there are.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business
 Movies with Mikey (Web Video) / int_e83f211c
comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Mikey's normally a very positive, excitable person, both in real life and in his videos. The few times he gets angry, then, are when he feels the message of whatever movie he's analyzing are important, as is the case with his The Iron Giant video (released in the wake of the Pulse shooting), his Hot Fuzz video (released in the 2017 climate of racially charged Police Brutality), and the Dumbo portion of his Lessons Animation Taught Us video (discussing the film's racism and Mood Dissonance).

Crossover: Did a two-part collaboration with fellow video essayist Patrick (H) Willems on "The Story of Mission Impossible", each providing intersecting commentary on the franchise as a whole. Also did a two-part collab with Dan Olson of Folding Ideas for Christmas in 2020. Mikey's video, "The Trial of Christmas Movies", breaks down and analyzes miscellaneous "Christmas movies" to deduce which is the most "Christmassy", while Dan's video, "Let's Argue About Christmas Movies", breaks down the nature of defining movies as "Christmassy" itself, further discussing the various cultural and social implications of the act.

Running Gag: "BUT DID YOU KNOOOOW???" delivered by the same robotic voice and always accompanied by a picture of Bounty Hunter!Leia, placed whenever Mikey wants to share a fun fact or just because he wants to include it.
