His older videos (like, ten or eleven years back, as in Escapist heyday) were good from a "film industry and cinema for dummies" perspective and fairly loaded with introductory-level information. I'll give him that much. But, that's a double-edged sword; if you delve a bit deeper into cinema, you quickly realize how shallow his knowledge base really is and that they're only good for that introductory-level experience. There's nothing expressly wrong with that in and of itself, but if you're going to present yourself as a film critic, it stands to reason one should be able to talk about staging, depth of field, spacing, aspect ratio, framing, lighting and palette, camera placement and movement, sound, lens effects, and other technical details of filmmaking with some level of fluency.
Like, for example Bob's mentioned Galaxy Quest a time or two, and how much he loves to draw attention to the fact it's satire. That's great. The movie was also a freaking cinematographic master class. Like, how do you consider yourself even an amateur cinemaphile and broach the topic of that movie without discussing its aspect ratio shifts?
I mean, compare Moviebob reviews to RLM reviews. You can tell from the way RLM videos are shot, those guys have the expertise and experience to talk to filmmaking on a exceptionally technical level. They talk about it when analyzing film from time to time (it's really obvious in their BotW videos) but you can also tell they're very committed to "show, don't tell" because they use the techniques they talk about, and know to draw attention to the fact they're doing it through camp, humor, and irony.
