TGWTG Mathew Buck / Film Brain / @FB_BMB - Whiny self-sabotaging British film reviewer, bald as Prince William, thick as Prince Harry. Welshy made him watch porn. He was not pleased. Accidentally took his mum to a sex flick. SYMBOLISM!1!1!1!

Does he still live with his parents? He sometimes posts videos of animals in his garden, I don't really expect him to own property with the pittance he makes from youtube.

Here's a comparison of the background from the first Bad Movie Beatdown from April 2009 when he was 18 years old with a shot from a more recent video. It's the same room: Identical bookcase, identical wall paint, identical door knob and so on.

It's possible that he has a real job alongside his youtube stuff or that he inherited something, but I kind of doubt it.
Something about having the exact same bookcase in the exact same position for 11 years saddens me.

The video background is one of the easiest things to improve with very little monetary investment. The fact that he's only changed it with low effort posters in over a decade is a pretty big reason why he hasn't grown any in several years. It just comes off as low effort for something that is supposedly your profession.

You could say the same about how he makes his videos. For Projector, he used to write scripts for those videos. Now he just rambles into a camera for hours then edits them down in length while also adding film clips. Before it wasn't just Projector videos he made but also Bad Movie Beatdown, now most of his videos are Projector. This also fits a majority of the ex-CA producers like Linkara or Allison who either didn't change how they made their videos or just made their videos more low effort.

You really don't get to call anyone else a hack, Mathew.

It's amazing how delusional FB is. Does he never watch youtube videos himself? Does he really not see how much effort more succesful channels put into scripting, editing and framing, compared to what he does? But keep blaming the algorithm, that'll help.

I truly believe you could start a youtube channel reviewing movies today, with a low budget and only basic editing skills, and you could do better than FB within a month or two of consistent uploading simply by having a decent script, some decent jokes, a decent background and title card, and by not looking like you hate your life in every video.
 

Mathew continuing to show he has no idea what he's talking about.

Indicative of the gloomy path we are headed down. People want to blame someone for their ignorance and short-sightedness, and they're more than happy to let "Big Tech" shoulder that load.

It seems that for every content creator, once you hit a certain level, there comes a time when you realize what the main draw is. And then comes the question of what has to be done to keep the lights on. And how the creator reacts to this could be the key to whether or not they have a thread on this website, and whether it's in the lolcow section where we laugh, or in the multimedia section where we shoot the shit around the water cooler.
 
Mathew, you already got the vaccine. Just Nut up and go to the movie theater so you can do your review that very little people will watch anyway. I seriously don't get why he's so scared of the virus. Does anybody know if Mathew is immuno-compromised? Otherwise, he's just being a pansy for no reason while also hurting his channel with him only talking about VOD movies that nobody cares about instead of a review on a movie that more people would care about. https://twitter.com/FB_BMB/status/1443523476585857024

Edit: He ended up seeing the movie, while also wearing his mask for the entire run time in a theater of 9 people.

Is he imitating Lupa?

He ditched the MST3K style in favor of long-winded vlogs on topics no one cares about, ostensibly to stick it to Doug

I have to wonder if there's something more deeply rooted besides the Virus. There's a real deep aversion to doing anything regarding being around people.

He could be dealing with a really severe case of social anxiety.
Hot take: He's imitating Lupa. He ditched the angry review style in favor of long-winded vlogs on topics no one cares about, ostensibly to stick it to Doug.

Lupa is Manson and Film Brain is Squeaky Fromme.
Yeah, he is similar to Lupa in that regard. Another thing that's similar about them is they essentially lost relevancy after leaving CA, but only get brought up because of drama.

Mathew is a lemming. He did the angry reviewer bit when that was popular. Then he fell in with the woke crowd on Twitter. Projector is his version of breadtube: check out this video essay showing off how smart I am.

It's essentially his job to piggyback on whatever is popular.
And it’s going down like a lead balloon.

He's not even doing a good job piggybacking on what's popular considering he barely does video essays. That's what he should be doing along with Projector otherwise he's just going to continue to struggle with his current view count.

If anyone's wondering, this is the review in question. Remember this every time he complains about his lack of viewership, he chose to review some random monkey movie instead of the newest James Bond movie. He should of had the No Time to Die review out at this point, as it's a bigger priority than C.I.Ape.

I could see a review of C.I.Ape doing even better than a No Time to Die review if it came from any other channel. The issue isn't so much what he reviews, it's the lack of quality of the review and his personality in the reviews. He is not entertaining or knowable in film in the least.

Other channels have made a living off reviewing shit like C.I.Ape, but they have a personality and style that appeals to a large number of people. Best Mathew can hope for if that youtube algorithm will randomly show one of his reviews if a person is looking for a review of that movie itself, and those people will likely turn off the video very quickly.

If he wants to get views, he needs a massive rebranding and to find a way to put himself as more likeable or interesting on camera. He can start with stop mugging the camera. and brushing up on film knowledge both how they are made, as well as trying to watch a few of the classics of cinema.

Also got to pick what type of reviewer he wants to be and what better suits his talent. I can't say what type he should be, but the mad/funny review clearly isn't something he is good at.

Another thing is, you don't need a huge fanbase, just a loyal one. Very few people make their money just from Youtube ads, but from Patreon and sponsorships. The key is to at least have new fans incoming to replace the old fans, he has bleeding fans ever since Channel Awaesome was uploading 7 videos or whatever it was a day, and since leaving that site he has just been losing them faster.

TLDR: The issue isn't what he reviews but with himself and how he reviews it. Need to do massive changes if he ever wants to get more viewers, not review newer movies out in cinemas.

That sounds like Lupa's beat. We expect her to cover b-movies. Things we wouldn't otherwise watch.

She and Brad have a proven track record. Mathew doesn't. He made his name taking pot shots at people with real careers.

doug is living rent free in their heads. Just let him go man, im sure he doesn't think about your ugly mug as much as you think about him.

He also did several other tweets in that same thread: https://twitter.com/FB_BMB/status/1444677015681044491 https://twitter.com/FB_BMB/status/1444680146829651973

I don't get why they hate Doug so much, the change the channel shit didn't make Doug seem like a bad guy in any way just someone who had fuck all idea on how to run a business and was way out of his depth. Hell, they didn't even leave when the shit was happening or report jew wario to the police themselves, so they are equally to blame.

But Mathew is the biggest fool for leaving, most other people who left had backup jobs or no longer needed it for views. Mathew threw away much of his traffic, he likely would have got more traffic if he was one of the few to stay on the site.

Not even those bigger names that left, want anything to do with him. So got to ask what did he get out of it?

He is able to get Ashens, Dan Olson, Allison Pregler and other ex-CA individuals to appear on his podcast. I think this is just a case of bashing Doug and CA so they look like victims in order to get attention and money. They left CA because of CTC, so all they can get from the CA connection is CA bad, Doug bad, and just milk it forever like Allison.
Linkara is a bigger hypocrite in this regard considering he kissed Doug's ass a lot back in the day now he just talks shit about him now whenever he talks about Doug. He used to pretend to be a centrist about Change The Channel and CA, but I think he gave that up when someone pointed how bullshit that was considering how he never did anything about what Allison and Erod were doing. All this complaining about Doug just makes them look like A-logs in the long run.
