Chris Williamson Critical Drinker is a movie critic, an analyst of modern entertainment media and a YouTuber.
Cinema is no longer just about entertainment, it’s now a platform for social and cultural ideologies to be pushed through. If you don’t like what Hollywood’s execs tell you to like? Too bad, that’s your prejudice showing, you bigot.
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…

I hope he is a frequent guest.
"we", "they", yeah…
Loved this
This is his OLD office! A true fan knows what I mean.
Welcome to western communism.
Welcome to western communism.
Postmodernism says that you can’t be a hero, there are no real heroes, there’s no point in trying to save anyone anyway, the world doesn’t deserve to be saved, and nothing really matters anyway.
As someone who’s been following the Drinker since he was at 55K, I’m glad he’s drunk on booze rather than the Koolaid being forced down audience’s throats lately.
you guys are evil
evil white men – not entitled to speak
kidding, kidding
you're 100% on the money
Very interesting conversation, I learned many new things from it. 👍
Hahaha this is a great crossover! Indeed the one we didn't know we needed. Refreshing! Nice to see a bit of a different take on Drinker. Feels like we get to know him better here, and see more of the overarching philosophy/mission behind the focus on modern storytelling (film, TV, novels, whatever).
I feel like the discussion is regarding mainly big productions because otherwise there are a lot of very very good smaller movies that don't care at all or too much of any social media pressure.
this crossover makes me happy
Yeah movies suck these days. Wonder why. What's up with Hollywood these days. Even they make drama movies but it's shallow. There's no depth.
This can't last, can it? I hope not. It's such a profound pivot from the fundamentals of human nature, surely it will all snap back to normal. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
I remember watching this guys videos when he had about 50k subscribers. So happy to see that he's had such great success. Atta boy critical drinker. Tell Tatayana I said Hello!
Kanye West kinda shed some light on these "people" who hate white ppl and white men to be more specific.
Two great intellects always makes a great podcast
3:25 there's a 56% gap on Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

Matt Reeves // Robert Pattinson —-

All Christopher Nolan Batman (( s ))

– Christopher Nolan )) – Very Good .
Wonder Woman ( 2017 )) – Good .
Marvel : Winter Soldier — Amazing .
But . . . I digress . In general . . .

Loved this discussion. Chris is going to rival Rogan here soon
Haha I already know this is gonna be good .
"Art possessed by ideology is just propaganda" – Joseph Goebbels.
Don't be amaze about the low number of male kindergarten teacher, especially white kindergarten teacher. Because it's evil to have a white dude teaching anyone anything
Love drinker. Great interview
There's a great documentary about the Burton/Cage Superman film called The Death of Superman Lives…What Happened?
What a great combination here, glad to see it!
It is quite embarrassing for many types of people to poke fun at white men, especially white women. Like, you are literally shaming your own people, your own father, brother, uncle, cousins, future sons and that they are useless. Like….what is the logic? How can women that agree with this in the slightest not cringe at their own existence whilst spouting nonsense like white men are useless?
I remember being in highschool and a friend swore by rotten tomatoes and I liked a film with a low score and I remember being like "well that sites wrong" and I never went by what other people said is good, I preferred to make up my own mind, I don't even remember what the film was, being a teenager it was probably bad haha
Haha I was just looking for the full triggernometry podcast with critical drinker that I didn't know happened and came across this. Look forward to this one Chris.
Great interview.
I am wondering how much of the smith-mundent modernization act has played into the decreased quality of American media? From what i understand that legalized propaganda aimed at US citizens. Maybe that is why the quality has gone down? movies became government propaganda and are no longer an entertainment product.
many nazi guards at the prison camps pulled a Cena and agreed to the narrative.
Its very sad…but the "world" needs a war to focus back on the real values. I do not wish for anyone to die but if were to keep it this way i dont this we are going to survive as a civilisation….are we the next romans?
He's also a writer throw that in the description!
32:07 into this. I say yes, absolutely 100% correct
I remember walking out of Avatar in 2009 and I thought to myself I am done watching movies about the evïls of whïtë people. But they were just getting warmed up making them.
I grew up with heroes in novels and movies. And then…
Severence was absolutely an interesting series and I'm looking forward to season 2 hopefully. This was a great episode and a great talk between the two of you guys! Glad you found each other
When forms of entertainment get tarnished by political and social ideology, its the beginning of the end for a society.
Seen one super hero movie, seen’m all.
Would be so awesome to see Chris on Open Bar some point! 😎
Sony has announced a new Karate Kid movie. But the creators of Cobra Kai are not involved. No plan.
Harvey Weinstein was gross, in every way. But cmon make movies good again
GO AWAY NOW!!! 😊
Fight Club was the last great movie of the last 20 years.
