Welcome to the Internet Critic Discussion Thread 5.0! New Site owner, same derails.    Thread Rules:
So how about come content?! Primarily Movies : Red Letter Media Review movies. These guys seem mostly insulated from the "internet critic community" so they go at a bit of a different angle, especially with their knowledge of cinematography. Lindsay Ellis Formerly known as Loose Canon, now working on various video essays mainly about films, their structure and a bunch of miscellaneous stuff. The Cosmonaut Variety Hour - Markus (& Friends) makes videos about popular films and media with a critical but upbeat P.O.V. Kyle Kallgren (aka Brows Held High) Does in-depth reviews of what are generally called "arthouse films" (though he hates the term). Allison Pregler (Movie Nights) Hosts a semi-scripted review show about mostly schlocky movies, does the so called Manic-Episodes about various TV shows and the gift to Quinton Revieuws - I've been Quinton Reviews, and that's all you need. Mr Sunday Movies - Australia's largest movie YouTube channel covering all things movies, comic books, news, reviews, TV shows and video games. Phelous (Phelous.com) Reviews movies, horror, animated features, knockoff toys and whatever else he finds amasing to share. Jenny Nicholson Tackles a verity of pop culture topics and movies in an endearingly deadpan absurdist (...and borderline insane) style. Folding Ideas (Dan Olson) Does in-depth analysis of films and film making theory, among other topics and weekly streams. Movies with Mikey Lovable doof talks about the movies he loves. Wisecrack Pop Philosophy on your favorite pop culture. Ed Glaser (Neon Harbor) Ed Glaser looks at movies very directly inspired by other more famous movies. Renegade Cut Leon Thomas analyzes the plot and various themes in a wide variety of movies. Lessons From The Screenplay Video essay series taking specific movies and breaking down how they'd be written. Diamanda Hagan She's Diamanda Hagan, and she has to live with that every day-- all while reviewing movies that no person in their right mind should watch (which makes her perfectly qualified). TV, Animation and Anime : No Small Parts A youtube series about bit part and character actors. SF Debris (Chuck Sonnenburg) Reviews (mostly) Sci-Fi television episode by episode. Has a pretty good middle-ground between plot summary and plot analysis. Does voices for characters in a non-grating way. Poparena Reviews of books, movies, and TV shows from the 90s and 80s. His most notable series is his reviews of every single Animorphs book and TV episode in order from start to finish. Bennet the Sage Reviews anime OVAs, movies, and series of... dubious quality from years past with Anime Abandon. Super Eyepatch Wolf In depth recommendation videos on mainly anime but also games, films and comics. Will praise the good, but never one to blindly fanboy. Gigguk Anime nerd talking about currently running anime, is mildly self-aware. Mother's Basement An anime review show covering various films, shows and OVA series.

Videogames : Kim Justice All you ever wanted to know about British home gaming, British developers, classic games and micro computers. Matt McMuscles - Former SuperBestFriends member striking out on their own. Scott The Woz - Hey all, Scott here. Slightly too self aware explores all things videogame. Jim loving Sterling, Son (The Jimquisition) Weekly Editorials on why the AAA gaming industry sucks and deep dives into the bowels of Steam. Has a healthy relationship with Boglins. Mild obsession with AAA videogame practices. Civvie 11 - Civvie reviews retro games from the First-Person Shooter genre, modern shooters inspired by retro FPS games, and the occasional film, typically adaptations of the games he's covered. Errant Signal Makes game criticism videos. And he is the first one to admit how pretentious that it sounds. LGR (Lazy Game Reviews) Charming content about the old days of videogames, the hardware it was played on and other things that catch his drift. Might be trying to make us all build a 386. Ross Scott He mostly does Machinima (notably Freeman's Mind), but also has a stellar show called Ross' Game Dungeon which is strikingly unlike most other game review shows. He picks more obscure games and just kind of... chills and talks about them for 30 minutes. Despite the way that sounds, they're well-edited, structured, and paced to boot! Cinemassacre / Angry Video Game Nerd Home of Board James, James & Mike Play, and the Angry Video Game Nerd. Matthewmatosis Breaks down and reviews video games.

DJ Slope's Game Room DJ Slope gave up a promising career as a DJ and Jackass-esque pain donkey on British TV (not a joke) to become a truly excellent reviewer and budding documentarian on YouTube. Known for his "Complete History" retro video game series, and "Kickscammers" where he goes into detail about some truly baffling attempts at crowdfunding. History Respawned Covers how well video games represent actual history. Nostalgia Nerd UK-based YouTuber who has a great love for old computers and a beautiful, dulcet tone from the Eastern counties.

Things I was thinking to add: Mandalore (https://www.youtube.com/user/MandaloreGaming) Billiam (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcHBw_Rs56RFcisYAOlFfmQ) nostalgie/older media videos Whitelight (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVWhVAZwCdQsPZL-mDLcxPQ) - Looking at games a few years later, kinda like Reycevik. Colourshed (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJRLyQRpRQCJTRoV7oB2eHA) - Videogames nostalgia. I did a surface glance at them and didn't see anything bad but Twitter tends to error for me so maybe I missed some hot takes. All other feedback very welcome.

I don't think I've watched an LP to completion for about 5 years, but the level of effort gone into understanding the ins and outs of every mission and the complexity of the gameplay makes it really compelling. Yeah, im just lazy.

While the whole "Breadtube" thing is kind of a failed/conflicted effort the fact that a lot of non-lovely people agree on a lot of things and that crossovers sell makes perfect sense.

Quinton is obviously going through something (40 minutes in and enough for now) cause this was obviously meant as a series like he acknowledged at the start. Like that whole self improvement thing at the start is... A thing... But if making this one giant 4hours video helped him in the end I am happy for him; I'll find out in a few days/chunks.

Besides Samurai Pizza Cats the best "going with it" dub is still the Dutch dub for Shin Chan. It aired in the kid's block but the dub itself was P much in line with the teen sex comedy movies popular at the time. I was slightly older than the intended target age and those where not all kid friendly jokes.
