Title is self explanatory. Go!
5. The Nostalgia Critic /That Guy With The Glasses (Doug Walker)
This one is obvious, so I'm getting it out of the way early. Doug Walker may not have begun the online review as it's currently known, but he's one of the best and brightest. Even if you don't like his reviews, as many don't, you have to admit they're well-produced and he's done well with them.
Mr. Walker owns his own studio, produces a number of shows himself, and has appeared on Entrepreneur magazine. Not bad for some kid and his brother producing videos in the basement. I found Mr. Walker's website several years ago, and the rest is history. I've met him in person, and he was very nice, so that's awesome too!
This is a new feature on the show, 'What you never Knew'. As a huge trivia geek, I was surprised to be told things I never knew. It's short, give it a go!
4. Phelous (Phelan Portus)
Phelous reviews bad horror movies, bootleg toys, bootleg video game consoles, and a host of minor things. You had me at bad horror.
Notable for being the special effects guy for all of the anniversary specials, Phelous is...an acquired taste. His voice can be a bit grating (he's deeply Canadian), but something about his brand of humor speaks to me. He;s just so tired of everything, but can't stop himself from going on. If you want dry wit, this is the guy.
Here's a team up with NC on one of my all time favorite horror movies, Child's Play. Enjoy!
3. Obscurus Lupa (Allison Pregler)
Lupa, as she is usually called, reviews grade Z horror movies, grade Z family pictures, and Baywatch. There's a lot more to her shows (such as the hilarious Radu Reviews, based on the inept vampire from Subspecies), but those are the basics. She's the only female reviewer I've come across that I go out of my way to watch (sorry Nostalgia Chick!)
Lupa just speaks to me. The things she reviews are either things I already hate/love, or things I WILL hate/love. I don't know what it is, but every time I watch her videos it makes me happy. No other reviewer has a such a high pleasure and interesting content, specific to me.
Her only youtube links had Russian subtitles, but here's The Room. Classic!
2. The Cinema Snob (Brad Jones)
Snob is the only reviewer on this list that I didn't find on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com: I found Snob before he joined the site, so when they joined forces, I was thrilled. There are several very fun crossover reviews, but the meat of the Snob is...The Snob.
Imagine movies like 'Corpse Grinders' and 'Invasion of the Samurai Sluts from Hell!' give the Roger Ebert treatment, and you have a taste of what the Snob is like. He reviews mostly horror and bad theme porn (Musical, E.T., etc) under the Snob name, but has other fine personas such as...himself. He reviews movies and shows that never made it to general release (DRV-Hell) food and drink (Brad Tries) Kung-Fu (Kung Tai Ted) and more that you can see for yourself by visiting his fine site.
This is a guilty pleasure movie of mine, and I felt a lot more guilty after watching this. He also has Siamese kitties. EEEEEE!
1. MikeJ (Mike Jeavons)
I started watching MikeJ for the bad horror movies and shameful sequels. I stayed for the infomercial products and fad diet weeks.
There's just something so funny about him. Is it the Britishness that makes it work? Is it the down to earth disgust with the lack of effort in the things he tries, and the genuine surprise and delight when things go well? I think it is.
Also, he's adorable. Not 'I want to do that' adorable, but 'Aww, look a Boston terrier' kind of adorable. I want to hug him. Watch ANY infomericalism review, you'll be hooked. Go on!
