Top 20 Spoony Experiment Episodes

Oh boy… this is going to be a tough one. Okay, I briefly touched on my own disdain for certain reviewers back with Todd In The Shadows, but this is the genuine article. I do not like Noah Antwiler. At all. Between the price gouging on his Patreon page (charging $100/month for a Cards Against Humanity game with him? Seriously, dude?), the utter lack of content of late that has seen a very steep decline in quality when it does come around, making his decision to charge Patrons per month, not per video, a little suspect, and his sheer dickish behaviour on social media (and no, blocking me on Twitter doesn’t qualify him for that, although he is probably one of the few people who has), I feel I have reason enough to hate this guy. But this list wouldn’t exist if I didn’t have some weirdly-shaped place in my critical heart for the man’s work. I sincerely hope that whatever fanboys may or may not come my way don’t take the above statements at face value, as this is yet another continuation of my running theme of separating a reviewer’s on and off-camera actions. So, for the few people that are still reading this after all that, here I am with my Top 20 picks for the best episodes of The Spoony Experiment. And no, I’m not including Let’s Plays, as that’s an entirely different list altogether.

The Last Witch Hunter (2015) - Movie Review

I’ve talked before about using immortality to add flavour to a romantic story, but here is where we get into one of the many offshoots of that idea: The immortal hero. Yet another example of the chosen one narrative at work, this usually involves a seemingly ordinary person who has been granted abilities that forces them to live longer for some greater purpose. In any bog standard story, this usually involves some kind of great evil that needs to be fought. Really, unless your name is Joss Whedon, it is extremely unlikely that someone will be able to pull anything all that new or compelling out of the concept. This kind of sucks, considering the idea is even older than the undying souls that utilise it. But hey, I could be wrong; maybe this new Vin Diesel vehicle could set itself apart from the myriad of fantasy stories out there, let alone the ones dealing with eternal life, and create something truly memorable. *sigh* Let’s just get into today’s kindling already.
