Hollywood’s Message Is Dead - Critical Drinker - #591

1 hour 15 minutes

Critical Drinker is a movie critic, an analyst of modern entertainment media and a YouTuber.

Expect to learn why there are no more positive heroic role models in movies, the problem with Velma getting naked on a cartoon, why Rotten Tomatoes reviews are diverging more than ever before, why Matt Damon was always right, just how destroyed Rick & Morty is as a franchise and much more...
