Phelous & the Movies

Phelous is a very very good show, and full of my kind of humor. One reason I love it is because Phelous reminds me very much of myself. and its great to see someone with my sense of humor actually making something worthwhile.

Phelous (Portrayed brilliantly by Phelan Porteous) is a seemingly immortal man who constantly inflicts upon himself terrible movie after terrible movie. He's died countless times, and even come back as side characters such as the bizarre Selouph, a reverse Phelous who's life's goal is to take over Phelous' show and turn it into a romantic comedy review show. There are also characters such as Phelous D1 (who's motives are never quite clear) and the occasional cameo from a Mortal Kombat Character.

Phelous is perhaps my favorite contributor to the "thatguywiththeglasses" team. He's funny, Very dry (and I do love me some dry humor), and a heck of a lot of fun. If you haven't seen it, I say check it out.

Phelous started out mostly doing reviews on horror movies and would usually parody other critics. But as time went on, it got to the point that he became just like the other critics he was making fun of. It wasn't until he left Channel Awesome and started talking about things other than horror movies that he started becoming one of my favs.

Phelous started talking about things he was clearly very passionate about, such as TMNT, The Real Ghostbusters and Transformers G1. And also he would start reviewing animated knockoffs. I think the thing I like most about Phelous is how in depth he would get with his newer reviews. I love hearing about the backstory of things like Dingo Pictures and Goodtimes. His Crossover reviews with the Cinema Snob and Obscurus Lupa are probably my favorite of his videos

Check him out sometime, it's worth it. Specific recommendations would be His Crossover Review on Puss 'n' Boots His review on Lion and The King And His Review on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Phelous is a very funny show. He is a lot like the Cinema Snob but reviews a wider variety of films. He has dry humor that is hilarious and some of the riffing is on par win mst3k! My favorites include Troll 3, Army of Darkness, Santas Slay and Night of the Living Dead 3D! One thing I think could be improved is that, like the Nostalgia critic, some of the videos drag on too much. Ironically, his review of the film "Birdemic" drags on the most yet that was still one of the best from him. One thing that sets him apart from other reviewers is that his reviews are also kinda like Youtube Poop! Like in the Case 39 review with the random Billy Mays sound clip! Overall, I really like this show.

Phelous will forever remain funny with his dry humor, funny edits and snarky remarks. Whether he is rewieving horror movies or animated atrocities, he does a great job of perfectly breaking down - and making fun of, often with extremely funny reactions - of everything he puts his hands on. Just wonderful.
