Criticism vs. Reviews vs. Meta-Reviews vs. Non-reviews

As part of our ongoing thread on critics and reviewers, here are a couple of relevant and enjoyable videos from Bob Chipman. The first is a thoughtful video essay that uses the reaction to Marvel's The Eternals as a springboard to discuss the role of the critic and the economic realities of the job in the age of Rotten Tomatoes.




The second takes a slightly meta, but completely appropriate, approach to reviewing Morbius. I haven't seen Sony's notorious box office bomb, but I am still almost certain that this video is more entertaining.
