As the person who did the film critters blurb, here are some favorites from them:

Their episode of Film Critters Processes(their new releases discussion show) on Alex Garland's Men

Their video essay on Funny Games, Megan Is Missing, and the ways films implicate their viewers, so hot a take it was taken down by one of the directors. This is a teaser for a reupload on their patreon.

Their discussion of Imageboardsploitation documentary tfw no gf

the Fight Club video mentioned in the OP blurb

I also love their Film Critters Throws It Back videos, but those are patron exclusive.

Here's a veritable goldmine of content:

Studio Binder has tons of great short videos, from what signifies a directors style to different types of foreshadowing in film to the different kinds of satire in film. Tons of great videos here

I'd like to pick out this particular video:

Very interesting look at how different collaborative pairings between a DP and various directors lead to different approaches. Reminds me of Cinematographers On Cinematography, though that's more an archive of preexisting behind the scenes docs.

I've been following Timbah's work for a while, his work is evenly split between explorations of the history of conservative pundits and videos about 2010 UK electronic music, and I love the way he approaches the task of pairing b-roll for the music he's talking about. This in particular, a video about the year or so before James Blake released his self titled album and was releasing dubstep EPs and atmospheric remixes, is a fascinating example of Timbah's ability to communicate not only his experience of a song, but its relationship to the scene at the time of release.

His video on Flirta D is also fascinating.

So I just watched the new Big Joel, an interesting sort of critical meander through some Iraq War art:

And I realized something about his style, and what I think it may be drawing from: it's very similar to the style of Chris Ott's Shallow Rewards series of rambly critical vlogs generally focused on being mad about the finance of the music and music media industry:

(CW: Kurt Cobain's suicide and all associated topics)

Obviously neither of them invented vlogs, but I think there's a certain way of using the digital video/bedroom studio idiom and structuring what's basically a video effortpost that they share.

I put this together as a way of trying to do a short essay with a more abstract, juxtapositive formal approach, and I'd like to thank Josh for giving me feedback on it.
