I agree. He's certainly no Lindsay Ellis but I always thought he was one of the better critics on that hellsite. Projector was where he was at his best, I honestly don't mind he doesn't do that other show anymore.
"Everyone’s equal. Same chances of getting hit. Equal in the eyes of the rocket.”Me neither, he has turned into an excellent critic who really knows his movies.

"Everyone’s equal. Same chances of getting hit. Equal in the eyes of the rocket.”This is the Movie Palette website.
Optimism is a duty.For context, Mathew's latest review of Orphan: First Kill is sponsored by Movie Palette.
Last night Mat reviewed the recent survival thriller film Fall:
This feels like a stealth ad for the infrastructure bill.
Optimism is a duty.A few hours ago Mat looked at the throwback to 80's exploitation thrillers The Retaliators:
Mathew takes a look at Blackbird, a Vanity Project spy thriller by Michael Flatley that may just take the title of the biggest So Bad, It's Good film of 2022:
As I happen to be on a nostalgia binge, I've watched (or listened to, mostly) every BMB in the past week. As much as it hasn't aged well, I always admired how Buck tended to stick to actually reviewing the subject rather than make shit up for the sake of a gag like his peers were at the time (looking at you, Antwiler).
That said, I found his Project X video to probably be his weakest episode. I'm no fan of the movie, it's a shameless ripoff of Ferris Bueller and Jackass, but calling it "dangerous" was a bit too much. Regardless of a work's content, it's still just a piece of fiction. I get people imitated the events of the movie but that's really on them than the movie itself. Kubrick said it better himself:
Yes, he had A Clockwork Orange withdrew from the UK during his lifetime but only after those accusing him of promoting violence sent him death threats.
"Everyone’s equal. Same chances of getting hit. Equal in the eyes of the rocket.”Mathew takes a look at the latest Sleeper Hit horror film this year, Smile (2022):
Last night Mat posted his newest Projector video, of the George Clooney Julia Roberts Rom Com Ticket to Paradise:
Mathew kicks off his coverage of the London Film Festival with his review on The Good Nurse, a true-crime drama about a nurse who kills his patients.
Matthew covers the Scream franchise in anticipation of his review of Scream 6:
And as a follow-up to that video, Mathew takes a look at Scream VI, which he listed as the third best film in the series.
A little bit delayed, but Mat looks at the latest attempt to bring Dungeons & Dragons to the big screen with Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves:
Mathew takes a look at The Pope's Exorcist, a movie where Russell Crowe dons a terrible Italian accent and recreates pretty much every scare from The Exorcist series:
one of Russell Crowe's career lows

New theme music also a boxIt's also apparently a bit of Catholic apologia, implying that recent real-world scandals were just the result of possessions.
Optimism is a duty.Mathew takes a look at the film adaptation of the Alan Bennett play Allelujah, which may contain one of the worst twist endings he's seen in 2023:
Was… Was that twist in the play? >.> In any case, I can’t believe multiple read that script and all gave it the greenlight. What the fuck.
For those who want to know without watching the whole thing: The main nurse turns out to be a mass-murdering psychopath who's been giving every incontinent patient milk laced with morphine. Then it has the balls to shoehorn in a COVID thing and a sermonette about the goodness of the health care system.
I see two solutions to this: either don't make a twist ending at all or make things clearly dark and fucked at the start. No half measures.

It's been 3000 years…Mathew takes a look at the latest instalment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3:
Absolutely, it really shows how much he has improved.
And man, 2014... that's so long ago already.
