Title essentially. Youtube’s algorithm is hot garbage, so I can’t search for anything anymore without a ton of AI slop and rage bait. So, who do you go to for actual good long form videos? Exposes, scandals, behind the scenes, documentaries, film, travel, transit, who do you recommend I follow?

    I love Star Trek, but don’t want to watch the modern Alex kurtzman garbage, so they take the bullet for me.

    I’m also not a movie guy, so watching their reviews/analysis while playing Minecraft is more entertaining than the movies they talk about.

    Best of the worst is them watching B and direct to video movies that i wouldn’t otherwise know about.

      kurtzman is so trash for NUTREK, and there are so many people actually defending the current franchises on youtube videos, did they not noticed the material was most lifted off of memory alpha and the fan novels? why it so bad in taste. the animated series, however im partial to.

      as for SNW ITS BETWEEN disco in terribleness(its a sold C- show), but not as bad but no where near “2000s enterprise series level of great series”. the enterprise series wouldve continued beyond 4 seasons, if not for LES MOONVEs, who hated star trek.

      both picard and disco were just plain cringey. almost always on the 3 series, use romulan at end of season 1 as clickbait and then completely dropping thier arcs.

      Watch strange new worlds, Mike is rightfully dead inside after disco, but I genuinely like a majority of Strange New worlds, and generally align with Mike and Rich on most other Star Trek. I do think they praised season 3 of picard too much.
