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 am a moderate left leaning person and the messaging from modern movies isn't just terrible it's terminal. I'm in Cali and most liberal homes are getting these things out of the house. Specifically I've been told they don't want their sons or daughters thinking this is how you deal with problems or adversity. Disney is in trouble when they lose liberals.
