Mr. Plinkett
Harry S. Plinkett is a senile old man portrayed by Rich Evans and Mike Stoklasa for Redlettermedia, a YouTube film review channel. The character appears in two different continuities. Evans portrays him in Half in the Bag while Stoklasa portrays him (voice only) in Plinkett Reviews. The character achieved massive fame online for his series of reviews for the Star Wars prequels. Evans’ Plinkett is more of a confused and slightly off old man getting his VCR fixed by the Lightning Fast VCR Repair Men while Stoklasa’s is a full on serial killer pervert. Since Stoklasa’s Plinkett never appears on-screen, this guide will be based off of Evans’ version.
Lightning Fast VCR Repairmen
Half in the Bag is a film review series by YouTube channel RedLetterMedia hosted by Mike Stoklasa and Jay Bauman. The series is unique in its sitcom-like production, with a storyline fueling the reviews. In the series, Mike and Jay play two inept VCR repairmen trying to fix Mr. Plinkett’s VCR player.
Pluto from Us
In Us, Pluto is the tethered character for Jason Wilson (Evan Alex). He is Jason’s doppelganger who, along with a red jumpsuit, wears a white mask to hide the extensive burn scars on his face. Jason realizes that Pluto mirrors his movements, and figures out a way to use that to his advantage when Pluto and the rest of his group intrude the Wilson’s home and hold them captive.
Kingpin from Into the Spider-Verse
In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the Kingpin (voiced by Liev Schreiber) is the street name of Wilson Fisk, a crime lord and arch-nemesis of Spider-Man. He is immense in stature, both figuratively and physically, and seems to be made up of pure muscle. For this costume, trawl your local thrift store for the absolute largest black suit and skinniest black necktie that you can find.
