    Yes. If you can get past the silly character he's excellent.

    Him and Red Letter Media are a cut above the rest. People write all these YouTubers off as ranters, and there's a large element of that for sure, but you have some individuals doing good work.

    Tbf he rarely does the drunk bit anymore, that was more his old bit. His open bar live streams are very good. He got a mention on the Joe Rogan podcast by the John Wick director aswell. People know who he is now.

    Yep he's doing very well. Most of the people in his orbit are worth watching too, especially in the open bar/Real BBC format. I like The Little Platoon and Call Me Chato as well. Disparu and Az not so much but they're better in a group.

    Friday Night Tights is not for the faint hearted, but it's very funny.

    I was talking to my Dad about it about 6 months ago, asked if he watched it, I said "The one with Johnny Depp in it"? Blank look on his face. He didn't realise it was Johnny Depp because of the makeup. lol

    The little people actors community are pissed right off with Peter Dinklage. He was the one that said it would be wrong about a year ago when they first said the film was being made. Loads on line of actors from that community laying into him saying stuff along the lines of he's made his millions now he's helped close the door on anyone else getting the same opportunities. Keeping the roles for him self so to speak

    Yeah it's one that you either get on board with the atmosphere and enjoy it or it doesn't work for you and you think wtf was that. I wouldn't normally recommend it because of the weirdness but glad you enjoyed it.

    His previous film Hereditary is a bit more of a traditional horror, didn't like it as much but it's got the best jump scare scene I've ever seen. Nearly **** myself.

    I'm guessing little people are now below black people on the 'equality and diversity heirarchy' for some reason.

    Dinklage as one of seven dwarves who all had a lot more agency would have been brilliant. But because they can't write characters any more they cast based on identities.

    The Taking of Pelham 123 is class. The original is quality and songs the remake.

    That should be Fresh incidentally, I'm sure there are plenty of horrors called Flesh but I haven't seen them.
