The Critical Drinker

If you are interested in such questions as: "Is it possible to draw Rian Johnson's head using just a draftsman compass?" or "How many of the old classics have to be butchered?", this is the channel for you.

Anyway, that's all I really got for a review... Go away now!!

Offering a knowledgeable and delicate look at various cultural, none alcoholic beverages from around the world, The Critical Drinker uses his insight to give sensitive reviews and opinions on each and every freshly squeezed sustainably organic juice, herbal brew and plant based detox wellness drink that he can find to critique.

Nah, just kidding. Prepare to have your expectations subverted.

He's a permanently leathered Scotsman, with a no holds barred attitude on what he doesn't like and what doesn't work in today's film industry and a genuinely constructive analysis of how and why he thinks that to be the case. Parts of his channel too are his 'The Drinker Recommends' and 'The Drinker Fixes' series, for which he uses his day job experience and skills as a fiction author to examine what makes the good, good and, if needs be, offer suggestions on how to change some of the absolute dross which is pumped out onto the big screen these days.

A true wordsmith with a hilariously cynical, 'I just can't be bothered' undertone to his style and very self aware play on The Drinker character that he has developed in a very short time on his rapidly growing YouTube channel and all done without a single plea to 'smash the like button, share and subscribe' too...quite the opposite in fact. For all his pleading to just 'go away now', the subscribers continue to come in their droves.

That's all I can say. Really one of the few critics I agree with pretty much always.

Well, I don't agree with some of his takes on films (at least the ones I've seen) but that hardly matters, I absolutely love listening to them anyway.

He's witty, he's hysterical, he's entertaining, and that's really what I want from movie reviews. Especially since it's gotten to the point where a lot of his reviews are more entertaining than the movies themselves and even when I don't agree with them the reviews are still worth watching and thinking about.

He's entertainment and he's entertainment about entertainment. Who doesn't like it?

I don't think I'd be happy if this was ever cancelled. I'm still crying over Future Man ending prematurely. Let's hope the Critical Drinker looks at The Haunting of Bly Manor, perhaps he could fix it?
