    Honestly I think I like this tiny video more then I would like the actual movie, if only because of all the little factoids. I still think it's worth a watch though, even if you care very little about Batman & Robin or the Hollywood shenanigans which led to it's creation.

        Mad Max: Fury Road and the Force Awakens are probably the high water marks of the channel, but it's all pretty good.

        Their magnum opus for me remains this fairly long video about Hot Fuzz for multiple reasons:

        • Hot Fuzz is possibly one of the greatest movies ever and Edgar Wright deserves to be talked about
        • He has a staggering amount of knowledge about it which never feels irrelevant or trivial and that's no mean feat
        • It's also his favorite movie so the passion is on display, and watching somebody be passionate is always a joy
        • And on the less fun side: the essay finally veers into a more heavy subject I won't spoil, but suffice it to say that Mikey manages to subtly veer a nerdy talk about movies into deeply concerning political considerations and it does not even feel disconnected or out of place, because it really isn't.
