I remember a time when people would say that men weren't allowed to be emotional in movies and stuff and that's why they had it worse than women. Yet it's weird how there was a heel-turn on the subject and now men aren't allowed to show emotion, or be weak or anything.

Turf Nation if you're reading this can you please make a video about your opinions on KZfaqrs Jesse Grant, That Starwars Girl, and Snarky Jay

The way the CD presents himself as someone who lives on the edge is laughable. I have watched his reviews and this obsession with ‘the message’ is ridiculous. He uses his film reviews to push a right wing agenda. His misogyny is pathetic. He is so frightened of women that he appears less than a man.

God i remember being a fan of the drinkers content and agreeing with what he said. How foolish i was back then.

Japanese films: exists (with the likes of Yojimbo and the rest of Kurosawa films) TCD: uh oLdBoY and CrOuChInG TiGeR HidDeN DrAgOn!!!

Something about this dude and his ilk that get to me in a way I can barely pinpoint. They’re just so damn angry, almost never an actual review for a game or movie, it’s either a passive aggressive synopsis at best, or just yelling and screaming at some vague idea about the *modern liberal woke trans agenda”* at worst

Critical Drinker is the Jordan Petersen of Media Analysis. On the surface he seems legitimate and does give occasional valid criticism in his field of “expertise”. However, there are tons of times where their analysis is inadequate or lacking in nuance. If you attempt to call it out their supporter base is quick to defend them for arbitrary reasons. My point being that, like Jordan Peterson, people act as though Critical Drinker is “untouchable”. That he can’t or shouldn’t be criticized for his takes. Or act as if anyone who questions his views of entertainment are “misguided”. Yes, critical drinker has bad takes…often.

The only thing critical about him is his liver's condition from all that alcohol drinking.

What happed to your mic?

The Rocky thing is especially egregious since he's basically a stand-in for Sly himself, and Rocky is a "sad sack" in the Creed movies because the actor himself was going through family tragedies. So is the Drinker insinuating he knows Rocky Balboa better than the guy who came up with and plays him?

Definitely don't get critical drinkers complaints about the Daniel Craig era of James Bond felt like those were doing your Peak Bond and he acts like it was the death of the series

He is like a broken clock. Right twice a day but don't use him as a reliable source of information. Mainly cause it's dated SJW jokes that were made in 2016 and fizzled out in 2016 also the movie Barbie gave him an aneurism and I find that funny

36:39 Unfortunately that seems like wishful thinking. Most, if not all of Drinker's fans seem like they're too far gone & will defend him like their lives depend on it if someone says anything that challenges what he says no matter how much evidence you put in front of their faces.

21:48 - what does "Danish argulsmopples" mean? I Googled the second word and couldn't find any results.

Yeah, but Turf Nation haven't you heard - only The Daily Wire makes: 'apolitical and good western cinema' these days...

Me as a right winger who listens to metal music and I don't me like Kid Rock. I mean Epica, Seven Spires, Dragonforce, etc. The Critical Drinker is what is called a poser. He acts like a fan but can't name any movies.

I recall years back when his fans told me "hes apolitical and tells it like it is." Now he's seen hanging with Ben Shapiro a lot. I wonder what the same people who said the same words would say now?

Hey whazzup? long time watcher of the channel here, I wanted to give you my opinion on the video and some criticism. First of all I think the editing is very good and I like the documentary esc style of the video and the Collab is also fun, and I am fond to see the charm of your other "regular" videos that you do. However being the dick I am I can't see things without acknowledging the flaws. My first criticism of the video is that there are weird pauses some times when you and the other channels talking (this isn't a criticism of the points, just the way you talk when you say them), it's like I would say: "I very much liked the video. One of the things I like are..." The points are good just they are not spoken consistently and give the impression that the video very amateur-ish (?). Also the video gets kind of repetitive at points for a long form video like this, often repeating the same sort of points or at least being presented as such. It feels like a couple of videos glued together in a longer video. A KZfaqr that does long videos is hbommerguy, I like him very much and he is very entertaining but you can also take videos of j Aubrey which are more close to what I think this video is aiming for. Another thing I personally don't like is that most of the video is a bunch of clips without many stating creative arguments or at least in a creative way. Anyway, I'm sorry if this seems kind of mean but I don't think the video is bad, it's very good I just think it has flaws that hurt what I at least think it was trying to and I wrote this comment instead of doing an assignment for school so hopefully you'll change it. I shall return when I have more criticisms and good things to say. Dydyxgxh

I assume Critical Drinker feels that the only flaw a male character is allowed to have is "I smolder with generic rage!" leaving him only able to consume the oeuvre of Zack Snyder because that sums up pretty much all his male heroes. Though even Snyder is suspect given films like Sucker Punch and Rebel Moon which :gasp: star women. But it's easy to see why he's so upset over the depiction of men in modern film and how ignorant SJW writers inject wokeness by giving their characters flaws and making them struggle and not always succeed. All the best stories have the characters start at perfection and never grow or change in any way, because that's a compelling arc, watching a guy go from godlike perfection to godlike perfection.

Crazy how different the comments are in this video compared to your other videos on critical drinker. Where did the fanboys go?

Um, Does he have criminal charges against him? If so, please provide that information.

32:23 How is being a published writer mean you know what you’re talking about? So was Hitler and he wasn’t exactly right.

Hey can you make a compilation of the 500 videos you’ve made on this guy?

I dont get these guys at all theres more to life than just entertainment for me im not worried about whats cooking in hollywood nowadays im doing a bunch of stuff like going to the mountains working at a cat shelter so life is good for me unlike these people who are so negative all the time like the critical drinker dude needs to lay off the booze

Who are you guys? And have you ever thought a thought before? Thank you for telling me what to think. The fact that I'm even commenting is huge.

Hey can you do video on Jesse Grant

Something to be said about the editing in CD's videos: It's been clear to me for a long time given the timing of cuts and the sometimes strange filters over the clips that he uses that he's often just taking someone's KZfaq music video centered around something/someone (or someone's quick-cut clip compilation), stripping the audio from it, and using the footage as background in his video. I doubt he acquires permission from the original creators when he does this, though obviously I cannot say; nonetheless, this has been incredibly obvious to me for some time and I always thought it was interesting that no one else seemed to pick up on it, or at least didn't make a fuss of it if they did.

CD strikes me as a guy who had SA, stalking, and harassment charges against him. Must have been a guy lying about a screenwriting career like Ben Shapiro (blaming failure on others) and Michael French (LinkedIn timeline that has no space for such a career). Wait, CD was a failed novelist? Thanks Google.

A _good, VERY_ well-constructed DEconstruction (👏)! It's _very_ good that you brought in the whole gang here.

If there's one thing I've learnt from media studies, it's that popularity is no indication of talent. If there's one positive thing about Mr Dropkick it's that he knows how to play to an audience, no matter how little integrity he displays. I also don't think it'll last forever.

I came across this guy looking for drunk & high reviewers who would add a layer of inebriated comedy to their reviews. He added no comedy whatsoever.

I know Drinker loved Godzilla Minus One (rightly so). I hope the entire time he watched it he was kicking himself internally and thinking, “Why couldn’t this movie have come out before I crammed my whole-ass foot in my mouth in that one interview??” 🤣🤣

He’s a bum at the end of the day. Can’t wait for more people to call out him bs. A recent video calling him out over half a million views at the very least

It seems by "stoic" CD really means "alpha" straight white man. Tony Stark fits in CD's mind because Tony is an alpha male who gets a lot of attention from women, even if he does crack jokes and act neurotic at times.

He whines so much for no reason like are you that unhappy ugh

I have 2 big problems with the Drinker. His blatant lying and the fact that he is just boring. Like he nothing interesting to say.

He made a video minutes before this video comes out, about Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and Star Wars, and he seemed honest about it and doesn't condone misogynistic honor killings. I wonder why?

I used to find the CD annoying but had some respect for him because he at least made "honest" reviews, and as annoying the whole anti woke crowd is, most of the times he had a point, sometimes movies and shows could get annoying, but then he started hanging out with people like geeks and gamers and nerdrotic, which set some flags but thought "oh probably nothing", then he started making those annoying comments even in his good reviews, like what he said that across the spider verse discriminated the white straight male and was like "hu?" then he started lying in his reviews, like moon knight and glass onion among others, then he lost me, and then he started making videos hating on some actresses after they had an interview or something, like brie larson or rachel zegler, then he officially became a paparazzi disquised as a critic, which is just pathetic, not to mention he pretty much tries to put his own agenda, when something comes out that doesn't follow his beliefs, he critizices it unfarily, best example barbie, and what's worse is the lies, because most of his audience don't even watch the stuff he criticizes, or go to him when they want something to watch, misleading your audience like that, specially when your beliefs are involved is just wrong

Yay so glad someone has noticed my problem with critical drinker I swear he should be called overly critical drinker

Hi turfnation, it’s not related to this video, but can you do one on Star Wars? This guy on Instagram keeps telling me Star Wars stories have to have some mystical force connection or Jedi or Sith character to make it Star Wars, and he’s complaining that Andor isn’t “true” Star Wars bc it doesn’t have any Jedi. I feel so annoyed!

new to channel question if your name an attempt to take or rebrand what a turf is because your content/descriptor does not come across as what i would call a turf i am dumb

Very start of this video sums up the lies of CD to perfection. Dunno how anyone could defend him with a straight face after that 😂

Good video! I am caressing my funko pop collection while watching! 😊

Star Wars theory is getting close to him

Am I tripping or was there a editing error where representation was played twice?

I hope humanity will already move forward from the GamerGate era. It's a long due. I'm happy that while Critical Drinker's views aren't dropping, his other friends are. Here's for hope.

He did like Mizu in Blue Eye Samurai, though. I don't think he's against female led stories in general, he's just against female led stories that don't have any depth and are made solely to push an anti-male agenda.

In before all the Critical Drinker simps brigade the comments with sexist bullshit.

A takedown review on a movie reviewer who regularly calls out shite mainstream cinema and shill reviewers. Who would have fucking thought it........

I had no idea he was an author as well as an auteur!

CD's shitting on Star Wars reminds me of Lily Orchid shitting on Steven Universe. It's like he thinks men can't have emotions or deal with things like getting old and dying or inspiring younger characters?

The Drinker is of course one of those who will scream it's woke if the white guy isn't the center of attention 100% of the time.

CD is definitely the ultimate grifter.

I don’t support people like this. All they do is try to push people towards toxicity

I get the types of movies that critical drink of gravitates towards the 1980s Classics and I enjoy them as much as the next guy but I really don't get why he acts like those are the gold standard of Cinema there were plenty of Incredible movies like various genres before the 1980s and after the 1980s also

His short film got over 300k in funding over a year ago and still hasn’t been released

I have heard of Critical Drinker in recent months since I have returned to writing about films recently. Having previously been a film critic and reviewer over a decade ago, I can't take anything this Drinker says seriously . He isn't a real reviewer and he certain!y is no film critic. After all, no knowledgeable film reviewer would call OldBoy and Crouching Tiger Japanese films. Only a a no nothing amateur who should put the bottle down.

Critical Drinker is the most intellectually dishonest person on KZfaq. He often has to make up flaws in films to justify why he doesn’t like them. His Glass Onion video is a perfect example of this.

0:18 Clearly, Critical Drinker is really ignorant and had no idea of thinking that Oldboy (the original South Korean film, and not the American remake) is a Japanese film, which is truly not. He really didn't do a research and homework about where that film was made and where it came from. Oldboy is a South Korean film from South Korea🇰🇷, and not a Japanese film and definitely not from Japan🇯🇵, and that's what Critical Drinker should have learned about that info and knowledge. Critical Drinker should have known better, honestly.

Even Armond White, as horrible film critic as he is, has something interesting to say with his bad media take.

100% agree. He’s not very informed or sophisticated. Sometimes he has decent points, it’s not to dismiss it out of hand. But to pretend it’s nuanced or has good perspective consistently is really quite stupid. Everything’s just anti woke rn, rightfully so to a degree. But that’s why he blew up. Everyone is over being force fed garbage. The only thing as dumb, is to call everything doing anything remotely different or cultural woke. Woke bs is a problem, but not everything is woke. Both sides of the are reactionary, senseless dummies.

Here come the usual responses any time people criticize these Anti-Woke Channels: “You’re Jealous” Eh maybe. I wish I could make videos pandering to a specific demographic using their knee jerk reactions to get views & money, but I stupidly chose my morals. “They have tons of followers & views than you” Ok? Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, & the Kardashians were some of the most watched people in America, that doesn’t make any of them right. “Your just leeching off their videos” Again this isn’t the argument you think it is. Plus they do the exact same thing, but worse. You notice that the majority of these channels only post things they hate & never things they like unless it’s proving some idiotic point? How many videos do you need to make about any piece of news about Brie Larson or Rachel Zegler? I will say that at least critical drinker actually recommends stuff he likes unlike his “colleagues”. “You just don’t like their opinions” Um yeah, I have a right to voice against a take I don’t agree with. They and their fanbase do it all the time. Having an opinion doesn’t mean you’re exempt from criticism. If I say [insert football team] is better than [insert football team], people can question, criticize, and/ or counter argue against it. If I said that I LOVED Captain Marvel (I don’t), you won’t accept that opinion. Especially if this “opinion” is blantley false. If you have a take on something that didn’t happen then it’s not an opinion, it’s a falsehood. At minimum misguided. “They just live rent free in your head” Not really. Again questioning, critiquing counter arguing against an opinion is not about obsession. As mentioned earlier, if someone has a bad take or take that I don’t agree with I’m allowed to either criticize and/or counter it. By this logic I can say Brie Larson, and Rachelle Zegler live rent free their heads. Or what about EFAP? “You’re just a hater” Yet here you are in another creator’s video telling them how dumb or pathetic they are & you’re not a hater? Oh let me guess…you’re just giving your “thoughts” against this person’s opinion?

Hey turf how does it feel geting ratioed straight to korriban

Drinker being in a Limmy skit is hilarious

Uhm , 14 Argulsmoppels?

I abandoned his content when I realised, I no longer learn about the movies he is talking about. After a while he just said his talking-points, but never substantiated the claimes. That was when I realised, he is wasting my time.

Now do a video on Star Wars Theory please especially after his most recent controversy. If anyone needs this level of deconstruction its him, expose his ass!

Could you defend any of the movies or shows the CD crap on as good? Based on merits, not identity politics

Nice step up on the editing

Lets not get mixed up here, Will plays the character CD. He has a persona.

January 12, 2024 - It's interesting to hear from people that dislike, and disagree with The Drinker. I am a fan of The Drinker and other reviewers like Dave Cullen. I am not surprised that there are people that disagree with The Drinker and his point of view. I agree with The Drinker and his evaluation of what the entertainment industry is currently producing. There are two points here. First, is that there are a lot of people like those who agree with this video. That are perfectly happy with what the entertainment industry is currently producing and I'm happy for them. Second, is regardless of what The Drinker, or those like TurfNation believe. It all comes down to money. If the public at large is willing to pay for what the entertainment industry produces, that's fine. In the meantime, people like myself that are not happy with what is on offer. Will not spend our money on productions we feel are subpar, and/or that evangelize for political and social views that we don't support or agree with. Western society is divided by political and social beliefs, and that is reflected in our opinions regarding entertainment. For those that don't like the clips that The Drinker uses in his videos. It is possible that he should do what Mr. Cullen does, and just show videos of landscapes, waterfalls, and country footpaths while presenting his opinions.

The argument about Snow White & 7 Dwarves, is they dont mean "little people", they mean like the fantasy race, Dwarves. Like Gimli and such.

Are going to do a Thor skywalker video?

I don’t like critical drinker but wtf was that gun jab? You do know liking guns and supporting peoples right to have them does not mean you support school shootings lmao

right off the bat; why is it relevant to have an edit showing him in a casual interview or discussion getting caught up on his words, or not being ready to give examples? This isn't a snippet form a debate, where both sides are hopefully prepared to back up every point or argument on the fly. When talking about some subjects, many people including myself do the same thing. We are given an impression of something being true, and have a reason for it, but can't find that reason or have trouble giving examples, so we fumble. It doesn't make the statement incorrect or unjustified, nor does it mean he is being "deceitful" or speaking with ill intent. This just immediately makes your channel appear to be dishonest and deceitful.

Can you do Endymion next?

Wait. Didn't I already see this?

Great video guys! I love the editing! Keep up the good fight!

Great video bro, I’ve been calling out the drinker for a while now in my videos, he’s a guy who likes to manipulate his audience and who cries over something that’s completely irrelevant to the actual thing he’s reviewing, ending up possibly causing harm to the thing he’s reviewing

Man, after watching this, i can safely say... Turd Nation really fits you, lol.

I thought this was a very good video. A debate is needed between you and your people and him and his people(” A Battle “) 😮😊

Drinker claims he's a know it all on cinema yet has little knowledge on Asian films.

7:25 Just who the hell are you to say that? Like you're some moral arbiter of what's right and wrong. I think doing this hit piece on him is the height of cowardice because i think you're too afraid to have a direct discussion with him and get his actual opinions instead of the warped ones your presenting here.

Hearing Organized Chaos talk about "irrelevant points" is hysterical. His lack of self-awareness never fails to amaze. Edit: I spoke too soon, OC then goes on to complain about criticizing a trailer, when he's known for defending finished products he himself hasn't seen. Bob, never change. Absolute gold. Edit #2: The gift that keeps on giving. He immediately follows this up with irrelevant points, which he just complained about. We can all only wonder why a guy who reviews movies and shows would review movies and shows. The mystery still haunts OC until this day. Not to mention, this is coming from a guy who watches people he hates and makes videos grifting off of their clearly superior efforts. So Bob, why don't you just not watch them? That self-awareness thing, work on it.

Rlm are the only ones i watch to be honest, cuz they actually talk about the movie and have no political view

I think the CD is able to give a fairly unbiased opinion on what he reviews. I respect your review as well, but I do feel like some of his critiques are spot on.

Thank you guys for this vid! I've hated CD for the longest time because of the things you pointed out. Glad you could share something so thorough about him.

I like him, but I also disagree with lots of what he says.

My biggest problem with the likes of The Critical Drinker and Despot of Antrim is their hypocrisy. Always whining about Hollywood and wokeness pandering to their audiences while simultaneously making careers out of self-righteous pandering to their own audience, whining "hOlLyWoOd mEn aReN't mEn aNyMoRe" I think In/Frame/Out said it best recently: "If you walked out of (Barbie) thinking it was somehow trying to turn the world against men, then you might be the biggest dingus in the entire universe."

When it comes to casting, I think the balance is quite wrong. The thing is that "diverse characters" are mostly present in typical "nerd franschises" such as fantasy and space opera stuff. Outside that, media is really quite annoyingly white. I think fantasy and historical movies need less diversity, while everything else need more diversity. I also have a personal gripe with the lack of characters with mixed heritage in science fiction movies. I think that the anger stems from male nerds feel that nothing is made for them anymore, and it really started with the Galactica reboot series. Also, in my opinion the issue is not skin color but gender. I simply do not think that a franchise like Star Wars fit female creatives. It is also to many progressive creatives in that type of franchise I think. When progressives make stuff it often feel "soft" and "to nice".

Honestly,, I think his success comes from the fact the he speaks to the frustrations many of us feel. She - hulk sucked, and it wasn’t cause it was a woman, it was because the writing and story sucked. I agreed with a lot of what he said. Is he perfect, always correct? Absolutely not, but he presents a position, just as you’re presenting yours and I have no problem with that. Interesting vid, well presented!

35:19 Dont lie, that was funny AF😂😂😂

Really he has a opinion about movie and stuff and that Dishonest, Harmful and Deceitful what people will not to get big on youtube lol

CD did a review on LOTR and praised the male characters for being the macho gungho ass kickers that they were while ignoring the flaws that made them relateable and being stronger for rising above it And we're just ruling out the women who helped out and did their part? Eowyn,arwyn etc The mask is slipping,CD is showing his boorish,ignorant,brazen machismo with each review Drinker is the sort of guy who'll ignore the seven samurai,praise the magnificent 7 while b*tch about the denzel reboot because the white characters didn't survive

Man you gave us a little desert in the end with TJ.. AKA Amazing Atheist.

you are misrepresenting a lot of his videos and messages....

As a black man, I can’t stand that certain black youtubers like Tyrone Magnus or Jedi brooks are being a 🦝 for critical drinker lmao

Drinker living rent free in your head is another win for his work! The guy is a gem.
