Summer Hire in December?
I have my doubts Kyle really worked at the Embassy. I have doubts he could get a job doing laundry at the Embassy Suites.

He does remind me a lot of a guy I know like that, always has to be the center of conversation, tells you how smart he is, and thinks that just knowing what is, generally speaking, useless information makes him better than everyone else. I believe an exact quote was "Or you could just learn about science and be better than (the person we were talking about at the time)" and yes, he was a film major, like Kyle.
If he were as smart as he thought, he would have taken advantage of that, assuming it's true.

He reminds me of an autistic Jay Sherman.

There's got to be something there because we've all known that douchebag film or theater major. There's like at least one of him in every group no matter where you are. The guy that thinks he's so funny and witty and clever when you notice that he's only got three lines and he uses them all the time but in different ways and it's always the same jokes and the same anecdotes.
They go out for community theater, never make it in and wind up working in one of those boutique movie rental places that have lots of obscure titles. Now granted I love those places because they're the only ones that carry the exploitation, schlock and B-movies that I adore.
The autistic is kinda redundant but yeah. I dig it.

Well, on the "pretentious film critic" angle, yes, but Jay is more lovable.

Mostly because he's a genuine film enthusiast who openly acknowledges that personal tastes are subjective. This is in contrast to people like Kyle, who seem to only enjoy films for how much of an "intellectual" he can make himself sound like for analyzing them.

I used to love The Critic when it was on. The movie spoofs they did were hilarious.
If we're talking about critics, how about somebody like Armand White? Basically he's the guy that applies "art" to every movie that he reviews. Actually he's that one asshole that hates everything that is popular and cheers everything that's bad just because he's a huge troll. The difference is Kyle doing it by accident.

Also, because discussing history of scifi involves lots of novels, it gives him the chance to do one of my least favorite Kyle Quirks, "dramatically reciting huge passages from lit to jerk off over my own acting", which bogs down the pace of these things tremendously -_-

I actually like this one very much. I mean the reference to Pepe the frog is out of place, but the presentation of it's final conclusion, while not original, is profound to me.
Although I'm not a sci-fi junkie, so who knows if there are some flaws to his argument.
I kinda disagree with the passage reading of the novel being bad. It ain't great, but reading them off seemed necessary to me since simply describing the story's passage would make his message seem disinginous. Although if there is one form of criticism, he seems to ignore the influence of non-literature sci fi stories on Black Mirror.
This is not the idiotic statement he made in The Room analysis video, this a thesis video, a very well discussed one at that, in a pretty package. I can't get in an autistic fit for this video, you did gud eggnogg ninja.

The fact he's including passages at all and reading them aloud isn't what's bad - it strengthens his argument as you said, plus sharing them both visually and audibly is a necessity for accessibility reasons. I more hate his delivery of the lines he reads; it feels like an insecure man who feels flexing his acting chops is more important than being informative. It's the same thing that motivates him to sing so frequently in his work: in one way or another, his voice seems to be the part of himself he's proudest of.
I'm not a scifi junkie by any means either, but for me it was less that his argument was flawed per se and more that a few of his observations were sort of entry-level. Like, this video more so than most of his others seemed ostensibly targeted toward an audience who'd already seen Black Mirror, but he said premise-defining statements like "it's about modern society's relationship to technology" and "people are the real monsters of the series" (paraphrasing) as if they were profound instead of a given. And it's disorienting to have that kind of argument side-by-side with deeper examinations of the precise ways the show draws influence from stories most people haven't read.
On the whole though, I do agree the video was fairly good. I'm proud of you, Ralph Oancitizen.

At least White provides a consistent (if completely trolling) logic behind his contrarian reviews.

Having watched other examinations of Black Mirror, that show is a case of edge-a-lot of the "pushing the boundaries of ethics as far as possible" variety. I might not be giving it a fair shake, but I also think it doesn't deserve one.

Had to stop it half-way through. There's only so much Ralph Oancitizen I can take.
It's really simple. Black Mirror is compared to the Twilight zone for two reasons. The first is the episodic way it's shown. Each episode has a sci-fi kind of narrative that may, or may not, be true to life. "Shut Up and Dance" could take place tomorrow whereas "15 Million Credits" would be a long way away even if allusions could be made to modern day life.
The second way is that each episode, like a majority of the Twilight Zone, were in fact little morality plays not all of them mind you but a large number of them were. There was a defined good and evil even if said evil was just "fear" or some concept like that. Every episode of Black Mirror is a morality play. There's no escaping it. Each one is trying to tell a story that , "this is bad" and that's it. No need to get too deep into it.

Perhaps Channel Awesome personnel should produce podcast instead. That way their life's work won't also be a chronicle of their failing bodies.
