Considering Brad's string of partners who are largely college-aged women, even after he's entered his 30s, it's kinda unsurprising that he might be skeevy tbh. Kinda makes me wonder what drove his past girlfriends away from him, but that's a dark road I don't wanna go down

From what i gathred Brad actually not pleasant to deal with: An atheist ()just to clarify i mean the kind that shoves it his works like he focused way too much on christian movies and then made one to shit on them even more) raised by a quite possibly negligent lesbian single mom, he's another one of those that'll shit on constructive criticism and delete comments (at least on his site), created two charaters called Tobe Fair and Actual Lee to mock people with (like with Doug's Douckey Mcnitpick), Talk over people and doesn't respect their opinions (mostly in midnight screenings), kicked out his thin bald guy over an awful joke, attacked the other guy over his polygamous ex-girlfriend (she was actually insane and might have manipulated the friend), is still with CA after all these revelations on how shit it is

I wouldn't be surprised if they asked Luke to ask his dad for them, so he just didn't and reported back as "yeah, dad said no." I would have.


Brad has TONS of skeletons, especially if you ever followed the Cinema Snob Sucks blog. Difference here is they are all personal within his friend group thing that have never spilled out, so they aren't really big deals. Mostly getting into fights with friends over girls and such.

Oh hey that was made by another ex-member of DHI named Chillock that they ran out after he used stuff written on that site

In one of the threads discussing Doug, somebody suggested that the reason some of his reviews have a 'premiere' in a local movie theater was so he could feel he 'made it' as a filmmaker ('The Next Spielberg'). I get the same vibe from his thumbnails on the actor/performer side.

It's bad enough when Doug inserts himself into a movie poster as if he's suppose to be there:

But it's way worse when he photoshops his head on an actual actor's body. It's the kind of thing that's somewhat amusing when a child does it but it's flat out sad when a man pushing 40 actively does this.

Not just that, but the poster quality is 9 times out of 10 complete shit with all the pixels going on, making Doug look even more out of place. Not to mention the characters on the bottom of the Cool World poster are stretched out.

I'd actually be okay with that.

Don't get me wrong, Doug is definitely a spineless shell of a man who makes some of the most autistic content known to mankind, but I don't necessarily want him to fail.

Let me repeat that: I don't necessarily want Doug (and only Doug) to fail.

The problem with that is that if Mike's going down, he's not going to go down alone. He'll more than likely take down as many people as he can- Doug, Rob and whatever other contributors they have left -if he were to get taken down a peg or two. Doesn't matter if they're in the dark or if they're Rob, Mike's still CEO and if the "apology" is any indication, he's not going out quietly.

Being as the Walkers were dumb enough to let him set up the Intellectual property rights of the critic in which he's the guy in charge of it, he'll burn the whole fucker down if he so wishes, and I suspect the Walkers, for being as fucking dumb as they are, know this.

Whilst I've always had some professional respect for Doug, I stopped watching his content around 2008, when I discovered the other content on the site, and currently the only people on Channel Awesome I regularly watched have left it, from Phelous to our own @LordKaT. The only one I still routinely watch is Brad Jones, and I do that via his website.

There's always been this buzzing over Mike being an incompetent prick behind the scenes, and of the brothers Walker going at it like Autistic cats and dogs behind closed doors. All evidence is that a thread like this happening was not a matter of if, but when, and that a great many of TGWTG/CA's problems always stemmed from its leadership. It's nice to see it get covered, just a shame that so many had to have been caught in the crossfire first.

Mike Michaud is perhaps the most fascinating lolcow I've ever seen. Having spent an embarrassing amount of time on Channel Awesome he's had a tangible impact on my life yet we know so little about him and I'm not sure I've actually seen him. He's the crimson king of lolcows.

That's mostly because none of the series he started on his website were given two fucks about. Except maybe the "in 5 seconds" ones which he didn't even show himself in anyway. And i think Doug continued them afterwards on his own.

I'm surprised he has no twitter account to speak of, or any other social media outside of his skype account. Guy's either very paranoid, or just very inept. And it's probably the latter

My question is, why the fuck is all this dirty laundry being aired out now? This stuff happened years ago and only now are these ex reviewers talking about it

Even if it would make an ass out of myself I would assume they kept a lid on it because they had friends still on the inside and didn't want to make things worst for them.

Fast forward a few years and pretty much everybody is gone and it is a safe time to release the information.
