Came across this guy Critical Drinker on youtube. To get a flavour, check out his review of Ghostbusters 2016...

He knows something about how story and character works, and he doesn't mind calling out some SJW bullshit.

I've seen his stuff, he's pretty good, but not quite as good as some others I've seen.
My personal favorite is Dominic Noble. Here is his LOST IN TRANSLATION of Blade Runner:

This one left me in stitches:
FWIW, I snagged the last sentence of his (every) critique and use it to finish Skype calls I do at work.
Red Letter Media used to be my source of laughter in between decent movie reviews. Then they just kinda gave up and focused on the laughter. Its still decent but not on the same level as before imho.

I like their Re-View stuff, and the TNG retrospectives.

I have no use for hour-long movie reviews.
Frankly, it's hard to schedule hour-length YouTube clips in general, and if I do, it's because they are full of information, or doing something like camping that I can't easily do myself.
Sadly he is a better critic than a writer. I've been giving his books a go on Audible and, while he has improved from his first, he hasn't improved nearly so much as I'd like, right down to having A Mary Sue character... just not the Main Protagonist, which makes it slightly more bearable.
