While there are plenty of shows on TGWTG which make me belly laugh (like Linkara or Todd in the Shadows), young Mr. Buck's Bad Movie Beatdown seems to be a constant stream of giggles. I honest can't remember the last episode I guffawed, but it's often the case that I've giggled fairly consistently at a 20-minute review.
His reviews are honest, dry and delivered with a sensitivity to the subject if the film he's reviewing is sexist, racist or features a rape scene. Is his show perfect? Unfortunately not. He sometimes drops the ball and nitpicks at details not worthy of attention, and if you're looking for a critic who will make you laugh out loud, you may find Buck's delivery to be too dry.
I will say, what Buck is particularly good at - to the point where I'd argue he's unrivalled on TGWTG - are his intros. His setups to his reviews are by far the least biased and best researched on the site. Even during a weak episode, like the material free straight to DVD movies he reviews, you're in for at least a standout introduction.
Good show.
