Screen Junkies/Fandom Entertainment is dead as of now.
Really, Dan was the primary reason Screen Junkies grew (beyond Honest Trailers) in the first place.

[monkeyangelo]

Spencer is the reason I stay subscribed to SJ. You’re right, he could get such a better writing gig the guy is brilliant-

[GoffCool]

It's been a year since you came back, and yet you still haven't figured out how to fix your audio.

[GreysDen]

Dan and Spence were my favourite talents from SCREENJUNKIES. Obviously you had a huge hand in bringing their talents to light, it's such a shame how things went down. RIP SJ.

Why are all these people commenting on Andy and Dans situation? I’m listening to you Andy, but feel this should have been a solo video.

[santiagovilla]

i always have loved murrel on camera...

[lolalemon]

I actually love the new blood. Danielle, Joe, Ed Greer ...funny and full of heart.

[ilyafoskin]

I loved watching Flickbait while I cooked dinner. This timeline sucks.

[ZerotheeHero]

I left Screen Junkies awhile back, Honest Trailers arent funny anymore cause they just playfully make fun of stuff instead of really picking it apart, Movie Fights was just never the same after Andy and it felt like nobody even was into it anymore, and then they lock a lot of stuff behind a paywall which imo was never worth the price. Hope one day Andy and Dan can talk through this but it seems Dan might still be in that California bubble where they cant see any opinions that dont line up with their own, we need a Jurassic World rematch

[fredtheted]

Spencer and Roth the last 2 goods ones left standing,

[majortimekiller]

honest trailers gets over a million views... seems pretty successful for "beating it into the ground"

[makatron]

Dan and Spencer are what keep the whole Screen Junkies channel going, charting with Dan is a great Monday segment and nobody there will be able to fill his shoes right away and even his input for for honest trailers. He'll make a decent living with his own content without needing to follow whatever rules Fandom has in place.

I've been watching Screen Junkies since around 2014 and Andy and Hal, Dan, Spencer, Nick and many others were the original HT people for me and not to say the new people aren't great (I really love Joe and Billy and Ed!) One of favorite memories was a movie fight Dan hosted with Hal, Andy and Nick and I laughed so hard! It's really sad that things turned out the way they did. I don't feel too confident about SJ and HT going forward but I'll stay optimistic for now and just wish the best for everyone going forward, the people at SJ, Dan and Andy :)

[violetbegum]

Screen Junkies and it's members moved on from you, they took the high road.
Get over it and stop trying to get views by rehashing the past.

[enbonj]

Grown men blanking each other like this is plain sad. Should be able to have a conversation. Maybe they have. Andy was a bellend on screenjunkies his ego was there and plain to see but he was a major part of it and a quality creator so if he can keep making some effort to humble himself (not just in front of cam) there should be be no reason why he cant be forgiven. With that said I bet the SJ crew hate how andy gossips about them but the mans had to scrounge to get his rep and career back and that should be admired in a lot of ways because it must be humiliating at times for someone that was doing so well

[mypal]

The amount of respect you gave Dan really shines here. It's great to see this. Thanks Andy.

[WholeShebangComedy]

Andy says honest trailers hasn’t been funny for a while but It got really bad towards the end of his time there. The Kong Skull island trailer might be the worst (the one written by the director of the movie) then Andy left and the trailers got better again

[TandNProductions]

Ya know. Andy would really be able to boost his career again if he would shed away from talking about other pundits. Andy is knowledgeable and a good critic. I get that these videos get clicks. But it does not gain subscribers. Give us some substance. I want to subscribe. But your focus has shifted. I know it’s your channel etc. but I want a good pundit and a good movie mind. Commentary on the on goings of other pundits is hurting the sustainability of his opinions. I really think you’d benefit more from your movie and entertainment commentary. It is your strong suite. Not pundit commentary. It’s sad. It feels like you’re an outsider looking in. If you want to get back up to the bigs. Move the fuck on. Stop making videos about other YouTube channels.

[rindoubaka]

Obviously Dan knows something and is jumping ship. I smell cutbacks.

[thefanlot]

Andy, much like you did at SJ I think you need to moderate a lil better here, this many fans/guests in the stream u need to call them out one by one instead of 9 people shouting to chime in bro. be like "maggie" whats your two sense? then next guest or something. food for thought
