...I still don't get what he was trying to say with Dracula. "lol it was easy to defeat him because we more than outnumbered him and he has a weakness"? Is that it?

He seems to be annoyed that newer incarnations of Dracula gloss over the very interesting cast of supporting characters in favor of focusing on the (in Bob's view) less interesting monster.
Does this have anything to do with Count Dracula embodying the very height of taboo Victorian sexual desirability? Could be!

While i agree with this point, he goes about it by...glossing over the supporting cast. Sarcastic or not, he fails to note what the cast really is: A wealthy lord so pissed off he dedicates himself to killing the man who killed his love, a badass doctor, a woman he bit and now has a psychic connection to him AND her fiance, and i will give him "Grandpa Exposition" but Van Helsing is so much more then that.

You would think he'd be more respectful of it, considering Dracula is pretty much the paradigmatic story of modern science kicking ancient superstition's ass up and down the highway. But given his description of Lucy as "the bad girl" I suspect he's never even read the novel, as has been pointed out before.

Hold the fuck up, i know we're turning this thread into Kiwi Farms book club but i thought Lucy (the fiance of the wealthy lord i already mentioned) was supposed to be some great symbol of purity and her death at the hands of the Count was supposed to be metaphorical of how the Count will destroy that purity for his own motivations. Of course it's been a while so correct me if I'm wrong.

You're completely correct. However, in Coppola's 90s Dracula, Lucy is either a cocktease or a full-on slut, right down to stroking Quincy Morris's Bowie knife and crooning about how big it is and how much she wants to touch it.
Which is why I'm pretty sure that's the closest version to the book Bob is familiar with.

Bob's mushy brain seems to have turned Lucy having many suitors into Lucy is totally fucking all these dudes at once. In Victorian England. Uh huh, sure.

We know Bob is as much a film critic as he is a food critic but calling The Thin Man a "good enough movie"?

I would make a detailed post about Bob's black-and-white views on the world and how childlike they are, but that would be belabouring the obvious.

Considering how he's treating Sarah Sanders, how would he react if Chelsea Clinton was saying the exact same things with the exact same response from everyone else?

Fast forward to 15:19 if the timecode link doesn't work.
Is it sad that I know that Bob, at some point in the past three days, has watched this video? It explains so much of his more recent sperging.
His new obsession with this weird "FICTION IS FICTION MEANS YOU CAN WRITE ANYTHING YOU WANT!" despite the fact that it's not in any way actually what that clip is trying to get across.
His sudden strange interest, but complete lack of knowledge of Dracula.
He probably found it because he wanted to watch YouTube clips about how Superman is shitty because fucking of course, Bob.
He doesn't even read Wikipedia. He watches YouTube.

It's almost like Bob doesn't think before he spews his verbal diarrhea or something.

Now that you mentioned it, it reminds me of a similar video Dan Olson did on the subject:
Essentially, he argues that verisimilitude matters less than the ideological message a work is imparting. In fact, they're more than willing to see verisimilitude destroyed for the sake of imposing their worldview on a piece of fiction. To people like him and Blob, the diegesis, the fictional space that a work is based in, is nothing more than a heap of intellectual garbage that they can rummage through to find things to smear the author with. So because George R.R. Martin depicts the world of A Song of Ice and Fire as a medieval, harsh, and violent one where violence against women is commonplace, he endorses violence against women regardless of what he actually believes. In other words, they believe a depiction of something to necessarily be an endorsement of it and not just an element to aid in the verisimilitude of the diegesis.
