SFDebris, AV Club, MovieBob, and Jim Sterling are the only ones I read/view with any regularity.

The list of reviewers I follow:

SF Debris (obviously)
Brad Jones
Linkara
Film Brain

*puts on tin hat* I used to follow the Blockbuster Buster, but I stopped once he launched the "version 2.0" series as I wasn't getting into it *takes off tin hat*

I also used to follow Spoony, but, like some other people here, will wait until he's able to put out reviews again.

Btw, Mister Metokur on YouTube's doing a series on Channel Awesome peeps - he's already talked about Doug and Spoony, I think he's going to talk about Lindsay in the next one.

I have kinda fallen out with the better known reviewers ever since Channel Awesome finished To Boldly Flee which seemed like the end of an era. Linkara has not been quite as funny as he used to be, Spoony hasn't put out much i want to watch and the Nostalgia Critic is kind of, meh, though i was never a huge fan of his.

Aside from chuck i have kinda moved on to other reviewers like Projared and The Examined Life of Gaming.

Oh yeah, is there some kind of connection between Glass Reflection and SFDebris? It seems like everytime GR talks about a show it will suddenly appear on Chuck's list of up coming reviews.

Aside from SF Debris, my current list is Phelous, RedLetterMedia, and Anime Abandon. And on rare occasions, if I feel like seeing what they think of a specific movie, Brad Jones' midnight reviews. Used to watch more Cinema Snob, but dropped out of that for some reason, and I haven't kept up with any of the other Channel Awesome/TGWTG shows in years and years.

I've found I enjoy reviewers who do more in-depth essay-style reviews that examine the mechanics of popular culture through the media they review. Take Lindsay Ellis, for example. She has grown as a reviewer from the Channel Awesome style of just riffing on a particular movie or show, to actually examining how movies and TV use thematic and visual language to tell a story, what that means, and how the examined piece fits into the culture as a whole.

Is his name Dom or he pretends to whip movies?

I don't watch so many 'reviewers' these days. The ones I do tend to be the long form critical content guys like Noah Caldwell-Gervais, Matthewmatosis or Joseph Anderson.

Besides that, it's more critical commentators. Dan Olson (Folding Ideas), Mark Brown (Game Maker's Toolkit), Errant Signal, Turbobuttons, and Nerdwriter.
