This was exactly as bad as I expected. He doesn't confront a single point made in the document and he and the host basically have a circlejerk around the fact that "people online just make their mind up and nothing you say can change their mind anyway". Then they revel in the fact that none of this had any negative influence on their business anyway and that's that.

You'd think you'd confront the fact that they accidentely made the identity of a rape victim public, that they actually hid the fact one of their staff was a rapist even from his collegues, who continued to produce videos honoring him. Or any of the dozens of accusations of harassement and despicable treatment of creatives. But nah. None of that.

Yeah... No longer can follow Brad's stuff.

I didn't expect this at all with the DT guys to bring it up, but now that they did, it's really reflective on them as well. Not knowing and joking about it is just frustrating, especially considering the huge mountain of videos and sites that covered it.

Sucks but I don't think either of them will miss my money.

Oof... Brad why?

Thanks for the update and cliffnotes. Well, I was already unsubscribed from Brad so I guess no real loss there for me, but I feel bad for those who were holding out hope for him. At this point while I'm subscribed to everyone who used to be on it, I only regularlly watch Film Brain, Todd in the Shadows and Lindsay Ellis.

I met Linkara at TooManyGames, he said they're still on good terms with Brad. He also mentioned that he emailed Doug saying he still wanted to be friends since his issues were with Michaud but as of now, Doug has not answered.

Why unsub the entire channel just because of Will's show? It might as well be a completely separate thing from the movie review shows as it bears little resemblance to the Korey/Martin content.
Wait Will has a show again ? Didn't it bombed the last time because most of the double toasted fans don't like him

Though that makes it better that it wasn't Korey and Martin

I remember at James's panel somebody told him "You're way better than the Nostalgia Critic!" And James said "I'll have to tell Doug that next time I see him." And I was like "Ohhhh..."
There was also that situation with Allison where she had to film Brad's movie, in a scene that also had Doug in it the only place to sit was next to her and he just stood up lol.

I don't know why people are shocked about Brad's response. The writing seemed on the wall when this started where he stood.

Also, I had no idea, but this is the most viewed thread on this board that isn't a OT or sports thread. Neat.

Jesus.. goddamn that was hard to watch.

Unsubbed Brad a good while ago, but this really is the nail in the coffin.

Heh, Doug still with his childish non-communication to his former contributors I see.
Guessing We'll not be seeing Malcolm's promised ultimate response from his boss.

I haven't gone back since I unsubbed. Not giving them my YT Premium clicks. Sucks to hear Brad and DT didt really take it seriously. I won't be watching their shit ever again.

On the other hand, I noticed Lindsay Ellis' subs went way up and her newer videos got tons more views.

It really has been great to see Lindsay be able to completely shed the Nostalgia Chick name over the last few years and make a name for herself in the incredibly crowded world of YouTube film analysts/essayists.

I wasn't so much surprised where he stood but more angry at the dismissive/jokey attitude to it all. It made me less disappointed in Brad, which is where I was, and more loathing of him. Dude is trash.

Never went back since I unsubscribed after the whole thing... But NC was pretty hit and miss for me in the last years anyway. I still like the old stuff tho.

I'll admit I enjoyed the Disneycember shit he did. It was what kept me around.

Ah well like many others this whole event made me a fan of Lindsay Ellis. Also of Allison Pregler too.

Brad can kick rocks.

See some double toasted mentions in here and I gotta know what am I missing? I subbed to them very recently and I've only been watching the reviews. so I don't really know what else is going on with them.

CinemaSnob's been on a couple shows recently, one of which where he talks about the Channel Awesome situation and tries to sweep it under the rug.

I've never heard of Double Toasted, I'm guessing I wasn't missing much
They were really amazing for awhile, but have lost a few core members recently. The podcast that Brad was on isn't their main show, but another project with a host that already had a questionable track record.

Still, disappointed with Brad and DT.

I also have unsubscribed, and don't intend to. Unfortunately even after blocking the youtube algorithm still suggests their videos. SIGH.

whether it's Double Toasted or not I notice with a lot of YouTubers if they get somebody that they may or may not agree with but they're on their show you'll notice that the attitude changes...

Like with a few of the million subscriber people I used to follow used to call out people like Sargon and keemster. But now? Not so much. It's like they feel obligated to protect one another.

It's insanely tribal.

I still think Erod (Blockbuster Buster) deserves more views than he's currently getting (though he seemed to get a lot of views and subs after addressing CA). He usually uploads to Dailymotion these days though.

On another note, T B Skyen is one I recommend. Did we not have a reviewer recommendation thread somewhere?

Yeah, for now Video Blocker is essential if you're using a browser.
