I’ve been following him for a few years now. He’s great! Totally trashes woke culture every chance he gets.

Modern entertainment cant handle an essential part of the Heroes Journey, Character growth.

They either cannot relate to the moral battle or the growth in self-responsibility of a character for faults, so they paper over those except when it serves a woke purpose.

Its what happens when an immoral person tries to describe heroic actions. They cannot because they have closed that portion of their mind.

The Critical Drinker is hilarious and spot on. Despite his schtick his commentaries have much more depth than most movie reviews on YouTube.

I personally think that even well made superhero films are a sign of the infantilization of our culture, but then I'm just an old snob that doesn't mind subtitles or movies like "My Dinner with Andre".

Great movie reviewer and social commentary. One of The Drinker's best was "Why the Past Matters".

It’s not about a story anymore it’s only about Diversity/Wokeness and the Brainwashing

There are plenty of web sites where you can watch really great movies from the 20’s to the 60’ with some of Americas greatest actors ever. For free.
Not sure why I would waste my time on the nonsense movies from Hollywood today.

DO NOT CLICK if you are offended by naughty language.

Thanks. I won’t click. A major reason why modern movies suck is the same as any revue like this.

Been following Critical Drinker for awhile. I don’t agree with everything he says and his schtick gets old, but he’s right that Hollywood and popular entertainment generally have succumbed to turning mass entertainment into mass leftist propaganda and indoctrination.

Some will say Hollywood and media have always been tools of the left, but now the left has complete control of the product from conception to distribution, with China’s influence thrown into the bargain.

There is a “fellowship” of redpilled critics of comics and culture on youtube: Nerdrotic, Mauler, Az and Babyface, RK, Geeks and Gamers, Comix Division, etc., etc. They’re great. Check out “Friday Night Tights” on youtube.

They’re destroying our heroes because they want to raise new ones in their places. Ones we’re supposed to feel are victims of the evil white Christian patriarchy. So in order to make them look strong and capable, all white straight males must be made to look weak and pathetic.

Modern movies suck because the writers are all out of ideas and since they have absolutely no knowledge of classical literature or history, they have nothing to draw on. Except comic books, which along with video games, which comprise the total sum of their cultural and historical knowledge.

I like Critical Drinker. Another YouTuber who uses parody to expose the vacuity of modern movies is the guy doing the Screen Rant Pitch Meetings.
He also exposes plot holes I missed.

I really liked his “Why Modern Movies Suck” video, but I was initially irritated to see him include a split second of Clint Eastwood’s face from “Gran Torino” in the opening seconds of the video.

Now, he didn’t mention “Gran Torino”, but...to include that snap from the movie in the opening seemed to lump it in with them. In watching it again, I won’t jump to conclusions and hope that he included that short image to reflect how he appears to think about these things.

If so...I agree with him. If not...I wish he hadn’t included it. Otherwise, I agree 1000% with him. Absolutely, and thanks for the tip.

“Gran Torino” is one of my favorite all time movies.
