Review With Myles Barlow
While other critics waste time with trivial matters such as film, food or art, one man dares to review all facets of life - our experiences, our emotions, our deepest, darkest desires - to rate them out of five stars.
If you're a fan of cinema—especially the kind that pushes boundaries—then you owe it to yourself to check out **The Cinema Snob**. Created by Brad Jones in 2007, this web series has evolved into a beloved television staple where high-brow art criticism meets low-budget filmmaking. With 19 seasons spanning an impressive 735 episodes, The Cinema Snob takes viewers on a rollercoaster ride through the depths of cinematic obscurity, unearthing gems amidst trashy exploitation films, overly violent flicks, and even questionable adult content. This unique blend of comedy and satire makes it not just entertaining but also an insightful commentary on film culture.
At its core, The Cinema Snob is hosted by Brad Jones himself, who embodies the titular character—a self-proclaimed “cinema snob” who delivers witty reviews with a vintage TV flair. His persona often recalls the charismatic hosts of the 1980s and 1990s but with a modern twist that appeals to today’s audiences. Each episode typically runs between 10 to 30 minutes, making it perfect for short viewing sessions or binge-watching marathons when you need something uniquely different from mainstream fare.
One of the most compelling aspects of The Cinema Snob is its premise: Brad critiques movies that many consider "bad" or cult classics. From absurdly low-budget horror flicks like *Burial Ground: Nights of Terror* to controversial titles such as *Porno Holocaust*, he dives headfirst into cinema's underbelly with both humor and analytical precision. His comedic sketches related to each film add another layer of entertainment that keeps audiences engaged while delivering sharp commentary on what makes these films notable (or cringe-worthy).
