(8) JUST SOME GUY (USA 2017)
“I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”
Yes – that’s from Bilbo’s birthday speech in the opening of The Fellowship of the Ring. And yes – somehow it seems as apt for his style of snark as it did for Bilbo’s speech.
And yes – he’s another caustic critic in my top ten, albeit even-handed in his caustic criticism between left and right in the so-called culture war. As the Bilbo in his bio suggests, he has a particular focus on The Lord of the Rings franchise – his epic takedown of The Rings of Power TV series was a thing of beauty to behold.
However, his prolific video content goes well beyond The Lord of the Rings – comics are another particular focus but he ranges throughout popular culture and social commentary. He also has one of my favorite opening sequences in my top ten Youtubers.
RATING: 4 STARS****
