Enrico_sw Posted March 16 Posted March 16 https://www.youtube.com/@TheCriticalDrinker The Critical Drinker is a youtuber, writer and entertainer. This is how he describes himself "I drink and I say things. I'm here to deliver reviews, breakdowns and analysis on modern entertainment media. Expect a healthy dose of sarcasm, biting criticism and low-functioning alcoholism" Quote
Cult Icon Posted June 6 Posted June 6 He has at least 2 spin-off channels: Critical Drinker After Hours - YouTube The Critical Gamer - YouTube With over 2.5 million subs combined. He turned WOKE mocking into a career. I watched his early videos when he was just a small channel. Quote
Cult Icon Posted June 10 Posted June 10 His 'After Hours' side channel reveals how big mocking and tearing apart badly made films are on youtube and other social media platforms. He and Nerdrotic have over 3.5 M subs combined. The other heavy hitters have considerably less, my guess is the combined subs are at least around 7 Million for this 'industry' of mocking hollywood. He has even done interviews with major conservative influencers so he seems to be the king in this space. On a more critical note outside of making a good living off of this activity it is otherwise pure torture to have to watch all these terrible movies and shows, and then spend a lot of time making videos & reviewing them. So the nerd panels are extremely negative in its temperament- funny in small doses but not fun to watch too much of it. I think his side channel After hours is much more enjoyable than his main channel, and more relaxed/genuine. Overall this whole sub-industry seems to be nostalgic for films from the 1980s-2000s.

Cult Icon Posted June 10 Posted June 10 + His videos would be better if he included a list of sources to back up his claims. And also, it is interesting to see how he reveals his worldview on several videos and interviews. His channel is literally waging a one-man crusade against Disney- the vast majority of his current videos are about them and so is his viewership. His thesis on Disney is something along the lines that Disney is a corrupt mature corporation filled with institutional/bureaucratic rot, which has lead to extreme cost over-runs, BS jobs, re-shoots, and poorly directed films that underperformed in the box office. In one of the videos I watched he (as a Scottish Person) seems to have missed the fact that these corporations recruit from a very small & narrow segment of American society (top students at top colleges, the well-connected etc) meaning they have imported a certain managerial class of people from Gen X and Millennials that have been indoctrinated in the leftist ideologies. Among these new entrants are many people of other skin colors, including non-white women that have been climbing the corporate ladder- so the diverseness of the 'product' reflects the diverseness of the people making it. But while they are 'diverse' in skin color, they are all 'educated' in the same institutions and are rather homogenous in the mind. Meanwhile, the boomers that were responsible for great work are leaving the workforce. + A clearer, researched explanation on why the management quality in Disney degraded so much.. Quote
