And besides being right most of the time (in my personal opinion) and being anti-woke, he is highly entertaining, too.

But the thing that really nailed him for me on the first try, was when I watched the animated feature “Puss in Boots”.

I did not have high expectations for the feature, or any expectations to speak of. My wife wanted to watch it, and since our tastes in movies diverge to a large degree these days after many years of marriage, whenever she asks, I usually comply unless I know for certain it is something woke I won’t like.

So, I watched the movie, and...with no expectations, I loved it. Thought it was great-very little to no wokeness, fun, good and interesting animation, and it included some themes I perceived as definitely conservative.

But it was such a frivolous movie, I wondered if it was just me-I was curious to see if anyone else saw the movie the same way I did.

And I stumbled across The Critical Drinker (had never heard of him) and he had a review of the movie. I was gratified to see that he saw it nearly exactly the same way I did. So, I began checking out his reviews, and I noticed that he liked and hated many of the same things in movies that I did. Not 100%...but I would say 80-90% of the time, I agree with his assessments of movies.

Now, when I wonder if I should watch a movie, I always go to his website first to see if he has a review...to save me time...:)

And I love his trademark: “That’s all I’ve got for today. Go away now.”
