Welcome to the thread where we share funny/interesting/informative video reviews hosted on internet sites. Kick off your shoes and sit back to watch videos that are reviews of films, TV, games, music, books, history, pop culture and other subjects. No primarily political videos allowed. Sites/YouTube channels which regularly post video reviews will be listed below. Content makers and fans are welcome to post links to sites which can be added to the OP. No particular order. Red Letter Media is the well-known group which produces movie discussions and reviews, including the Plinkett reviews, Best of the Worst, Half in the Bag and other content. Website: http://redlettermedia.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrTNhL_yO3tPTdQ5XgmmWjA James Rolfe/Angry Video Game Nerd makes humorous videos about retro games, board games and classic sci-fi/horror movies.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=channel?UC0KaZd_ki4l2EUc1GY9u5Ew SFDebris reviews sci-fi and anime. Website: http://sfdebris.com/index.php  Some special thread requests apply: (1) Don’t be dicks. (2) GIFs, pictures, emoticon replies are fine. Jokes, quips and low-content posting (within reason) are fine. (3) Please go easy on whiteknighting, cheerleading and dogpiling. No one came here for a fight. We came here to share videos. Not everyone will like the videos shared and not everyone will agrees with other people’s views. Different opinions are welcome. (4) No politics. Found an internet reviewer who has lovely political opinions? Congratulations! We don’t care. We also don’t want your lovely political opinions either. There is a whole board dedicated to that, it’s called D&D. (5) No imported internet drama, twitter storms, off-thread grudges and so on. (6) Don’t take things personally. If you take things too seriously here you will be mercilessly mocked. Don’t report opinions you disagree with, only report rule-breaking or egregious dickery. (7) Derails will happen. Keep them short. If there is a thread somewhere then take detailed discussions there. Alternatively, forget about it. Usual PYF rules apply. Happy posting!

MiddleOne posted:Poor Hbomb Yep! Poor FemFreq also. I'll probably add Lindsey tomorrow (it's 10 pm here now) but I think producers who are primarily political will have to get a different thread. The problem isn't the videos themselves but the debates. It's no reflection on the content or the producers. Thanks for the tips. I'll get on to them tomorrow.

Lonos Oboe posted:I really enjoy Oliver Harper's videos but I can't be the only one who feels his videos need to end 2 minutes before they do. Just me, Nope, not just you. If I was his editor I'd cut two minutes of redundancy/repetition and cut a few spoilers from reviews of more obscure films that people might not have seen. poptart_fairy posted:Yahtzee I'm amazed at how consistent and productive he is. I don't know much about his verdicts on games but he delivers a quality product. Blue Star posted:i like Redlettermedia because they are funny and they make me laugh. You have come to the right thread.

I imagine it must be an IP/copyright/contract thing that means Zero Punctuation is owned by The Escapist or it would be onerous for Yahtzee to buy himself out. Alternatively, he is in a comfortable arrangement and he doesn't want the hassle of going solo.  He was doing some LPs but uploading to YouTube some captured footage with commentary and not much editing is nothing close to running your own website etc.

Lonos Oboe posted:Folks like Yahtzee and Red Letter Media generally avoid it. (Sometimes they can't help it, but I never found their work politically motivated from what I have seen) But Moviebob or Anita Sarkeesian can't help but have it. I think it''s best for the list being compiled to highlight if they have a certain leaning viewpoint. But add no further judgement on them. I'll add Comic Book Girl 19 to the OP. Slowly adding more to the OP. I probably won't add Anita or Moviebob to the OP. Both are too politically charged now. People are free to post reviews by anyone they want as long as the review in question is not essentially political. For example, if Hbomb has a largely non-political video than I think it would be fine to share it here. Yes, how do you define "political" etc etc.... It is easy enough for newcomers to find political takes on X, Y, Z just by internet searches and following links etc. They don't need our help.

Has anyone bought/borrowed copies of the films featured in Best of the Worst? I must admit I've been tempted by Xtro and Dangerous Men. Anyone else?
