The Art of Editing and The Snowman | Folding Ideas
Our Commentary
After two years of battling the cursed Snowman, Dan Olson finally emerges victorious with this insightful video. The editing struggles are real, and the result is worth the wait. Kudos for surviving the cut!
The Art of Storytelling and The Book of Henry
Our Commentary
The Book of Henry sounds like a wild rollercoaster of awfulness that I can't wait to experience for myself. I never knew a movie could simultaneously fail in so many different ways - it's almost impressive.
The Art of Editing and Suicide Squad
Our Commentary
I can't decide what's more painful: watching Suicide Squad's editing or reading the YouTube comments defending it. Warner Brothers may need to look into hiring some real-life superheroes to fix this mess.
The Nostalgia Critic and The Wall
Our Commentary
The Nostalgia Critic diving into "The Wall" is a wild ride, complete with Channel Awesome drama Easter eggs and a sprinkle of Fantano-esque critique. The sheer absurdity is uncomfortably delightful.
Annihilation and Decoding Metaphor
Our Commentary
After watching this video, I feel like I just got a crash course in decoding metaphors and surviving an existential crisis. Definitely makes me rethink my next trip to the shimmer.
Glass Isn't a Very Good Movie - A Spoiler-Rich Vlog
Our Commentary
Just watched this and now I'm wondering if I even saw the same movie as everyone else... Watching Dan Olson break it down is like finally having someone translate a foreign language I've been struggling to understand.
