Peter Coffin has a video on cultivated identity. It's not much new from his previous rants, but all of his ideas on fandom and capitalism are in one thing that's easier to share.

It's a bit of a reversal from Babish, with more general instruction videos than show recreations.

sexpig by night posted:So what are some other good cooking regular youtube shows like Babish? I could use more well done cooking vids in my life. Ooooooh. "I've been waiting for this moment, allll my liifeee...oh lord..." Anyway, I follow a lot of various folk who do various things and I'll put up some of my favs: First off, there's a fair bunch of network-type channels which run various shows. Of these, I really like Bon Appetit (run by Conde Nast) - they do the awesome "It's Alive with Brad Leone", "From the Test Kitchen", "Beautiful Butchery" and "I Got A Guy", which are all great. I even really like "Kids Try"...basically I like pretty much everything they do. I also love First We Feast (Complex) - this is the home of "Hot Ones" (you probably know that), "Food Skills" and "Sean in the Wild" amongst other various videos. Munchies (VICE) also has a whole bunch of good stuff - it seems to have scaled back a fair bit currently, but there's lots of goodness in the archives. As for more homegrown channels...yeeeep, there's a lot. Brothers Green Eats - These two are really chill...probably because, as the name might have hinted at, they're massive stoners. But they do really nice looking food - they specialise in particular in food that's not going to break the bank, so as far as student food goes its way better than Weber Cooks. Bruno Albouze - AKA the Real Deal. Does pretty complex patisserie, quite chefy stuff...his voice is liquid sex, and the videos are amusingly corny. Food Wishes- Chef John. The Godfather of YouTube cooking. Has some idiosyncracies such as a glorious sing-song voice that you may find annoying at first, but you will grow to love them - trust me. Helps that everything he makes is delicious. If you're going to follow along, be sure to stock up the pantry with plenty of cayenne pepper...however much you have on hand, it's not enough. Gordon Ramsay - Umm...well, not exactly an obscure guy. But beyond all the clips from Kitchen Nightmares and so forth Ramsay's channel is filled with clips from his cooking shows. As he is one of the greatest chefs to ever walk the earth, they're kinda good and his personality is obviously electric. Hiroyuki Terada - "Good afternoon". Master of sushi in the main, and many other things seafood related. Occasionally does some quite graphic preparations. Not as slick as others, but the personality and interaction is great, the videos are chill and the food is wonderful. Jun's Kitchen - Jun from the popular vlog channel "Rachel and Jun" is an AMAZING cook. Videos don't come out super often, but every one of them is staggering. Mostly Japanese. Maangchi - Another veteran YT'er - master of all things Korean. A sweet old lady who used to be addicted to online games, now she's on the Tubes making bills with the best fried chicken and kimchi you can find. Scott Rea - The Scott Rea Project. Proper, British master butchery, in the old traditional ways. There's something exceptionally chill about watching this man break down half a pig like if it were nothing, or creating sausages and awesome looking pies. Has a good personality too. VahChef - Another YT original, VahChef is a master of Indian cookery. An occasionally frustrating channel, as he will sometimes do ridiculous things like subject his audience to 6 months worth of terrible recipes involving Horlicks Oats thanks to a sponsorship...then right when you're about to unsubscribe, he comes back with a blistering curry that reminds you why you're here. And he has about 10 years worth of archives too. You Suck At Cooking - YSAC is completely different to all other channels on this list. Almost indescribable, but the cooking is as good as the videos are weirdly surreal and funny. There aren't many like him. ...Um, hopefully I didn't get too carried away but this is what I watch on YouTube most of the time. I love cooking videos and have an unhealthy addiction to them. If only my own cooking skills were better than total garbage I'd start a side one of my own!

There's a foraging channel that also guested on Babish that might be cool, but I never actually made that jump. It's been awhile since I checked him out but I enjoyed 18th Century Cooking by Townsends! It's literally a guy wearing 18th Century getup making food from that era in the methods of that era.

An old favourite YouTube channel of mine is Cooking with Dog, a Japanese cooking show made for English speakers starring Francis, a poodle. It’s mostly Japanese food as, lots of close up shots and clear directions. Also the dog is cute.

While I'm waiting for something to render I'm just going to throw out some other names I generally quite like that anyone can search for: Byron Talbott (some don't like him but I kinda do, he's hot and does some nice approximations), Seonkyoung Longest, J. Kenji Lopez Alt (who also does/did stuff on the SeriousEats channel, which unfortunately seems to be inactive now. A great teacher), Pailin's Kitchen, SORTEDfood (very popular...I like 'em. Brothers Green but a bit more laddy and less stonery), Bart's Fish Tales. I generally like anyone who has a decent personality. It is very important that the videos have narration...I cannot abide by Facebook-friendly cooking videos that are a minute long, feature nothing but Kevin MacLeod stock music, have no narration and last about a minute. They have zero personality and are a crime against food, god, and man. These videos are utterly haram to the tranquility I seek when watching these videos, and the mark of Satan is upon them. ...I might be overexaggerating slightly but my word, do I not like such videos. There is also one exception to this - Almazan Kitchen, which is a bunch of Eastern European folk cooking in a forest with no narration, but the sounds of nature, glorious fires to cook unbelievable food, and knives that look like they were forged on the chest of Arnold Schwarzenegger circa Conan the Barbarian.

He's a bit over the top but he knows how to cook and his stuff is entertaining. Also gotta shout out to a Canadian. Kim Justice posted:Gordon Ramsay - Umm...well, not exactly an obscure guy.

As he is one of the greatest chefs to ever walk the earth, they're kinda good and his personality is obviously electric. Gordon Ramsay did a show for BBC titled something like "Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Home Cooking Course" which is him in his non-reality-show mode giving nice simple cooking advice and ideas. Worth a watch if it comes into your viewing range. I've been meaning to start a video series on cooking with super-hot peppers; everyone does stunt eating for videos, but it's neat to try and incorporate them into real cooking as well.

He gives such great advice, and he's always such a ball of energy - whenever you watch him for any length of time, you notice how much he bloody jumps around EVERYWHERE. Seriously, he does it all the time. It doesn't even feel forced - like, through all the millions and shows and all the other poo poo, there is nowhere he would rather be than in a kitchen. Any kitchen. (Honestly...don't say anything, but few people actually inspire me more than the guy does. Just in general. Sure, a lot of his shows aren't exactly great but he earned the right, who doesn't like watching him shout at rubbish chefs on Hell's Kitchen and his energy is palpable. Seriously. As much as he shouts and swears and goddamn does he do it in real life too if you've ever seen Boiling Point, pretty much everyone who he's worked with for any length of time would happily put in their gun for him no matter what, so what does that tell you. Motherfucker is an idol.) Kim Justice fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Feb 21, 2018 |

Gordon Ramsay is a good guy. I'll never forget a Kitchen Nightmares where the chef of this place clearly had a drinking problem and Ramsay sat him down and was absolutely sweet and genuine and open-hearted.

He's had to deal with addiction quite a lot in his life alas. His brother's a pretty serious drug addict, and one of his top chefs died after falling from a flat window while he was on coke...that and just a really poo poo upbringing in general, so he gets quite attuned to those problems. I always think that the reason why he does so much is because it could all go up tomorrow and he never wants to go back to that sort of thing, more than the money/fame and that. Some like to think he's an arsehole because of his temper and so on because hoo-boy does he have a short fuse in the kitchen (seeing as how he was mentored by Marco Pierre White, one of the few chefs with a fuse even shorter than his) but most of his staff are intensely loyal to him, and he's the same right back. The amount of serious badass chefs, including several major female chefs that have come up from his kitchens is ridiculous.

I think it's because obviously cooking is something he's devoted his life to, so when people in kitchen Nightmares or whatever are not trying, being awful or arrogant it sets him off. If you watch him on Masterchef with talented people trying there best he isn't coddling them but he isn't a monster and when he's dealing with kids on Masterchef Junior or people who really are trying but might not be perfect he is really really sweet. I watched like 3 seasons of masterchef and masterchef junior when I was travelling to and from my first job as it was a nice sorta calm thing to watch on the train

Also note the distinction between his Kitchen Nightmares UK and Kitchen Nightmares USA programmes. The former is a pretty fun show about food and reinventing troubled restaurants. The latter is the product of the Food Channel/Network's love of hyperbole and reality TV drama.

Conal Cochran posted:Does anyone have any favorite prose film critics? Film critics who do prose? The people who write about movies with the words and not the sounds and pictures. He's not for everyone but outlawvern.com has a loose, conversational style that suits his chosen subject of mainly action films. A.A Dowd of the AV Club is decent, and Birth.Movies.Death has recovered with a decent stable of writers since the scandal regarding Devin Faraci, whose presence is not missed and whose absence is quite beneficial to the overall tone of the blog. Another option formerly of Birth.Movies.Death i quite like and now on his own blog is Film Crit Hulk, but he is really an acquired taste (some people absolutely hate him). He does long-form essays on story structure in popular films, his essay on Do The Right Thing is excellent, and he no longer writes in ALL CAPS.

Ralph dug up a bizarre obscurity, Love on a Leash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gu5Pi82-G8c "Love on a Leash is a movie about a dog falling in love with a woman. Now you may be thinking: 'Is this going to be a really weird creepy movie where a woman has sex with a dog?'... kind of." Edit: Having watched the video, all I can muster in reaction is  This is like a mash-up of The Room and those "A Talking Cat?!?!?!?!?!"-type movies.

YouTube may be going tits-up for pretty much every small to mid and so content creator but the upside I guess is that this also includes the TRUTHER community who finally seem to be getting videos removed/blocked and their channels shut down for hate speech and the like. The content creators say in their defense that calling a victim of a tragedy a crisis actor is covered under free speech and isn't hate but....mmm...I don't know about that. Sounds like a real stretch to pull the free speech and fair use cards here.

I mean there's a lot of stuff that's covered under free speech but that doesn't mean that Google is legally required to give that stuff a platform or any revenue. See also: media companies being allowed to claim stuff that's legally fair use. Also apparently right now nobody can upload or edit stuff on YT, per Jim Sterling, so that's a thing?
