Nostalgia Critic: I have become comfortably dumb.

Dan Olson: And, you know what, I’m not going to disagree. You said it, man. I don’t know if it works as self-deprecating humour because I don’t think it’s comedically true, I think it’s just true.

"Doug wants to be a filmmaker, he wants to make art, but he can't, because he's a fundamentally incurious person who isn't much interested in what other people think or feel and all his ideas boil down to "What if Batman met Mario?"."

"Like The Room, it's a deeply cynical product made by a fundamentally untalented man, bored by the idea of personal growth, building so many layers of self-protective irony that it becomes unintentionally revealing."

Brutal.

I remember having to pause the video after that second bit. The piled-on criticisms, so matter-of-factly delivered, needed some recovery time. Your assessment is spot on.

I'm still amazed that video is still up, such a violent murder should surely violate youtube's content policy.
