So this guy had a video about Falling Down, I seen the pop culture and memes but never the movie. I was like well that was interesting, I'll give a follow. Then he released an Encanto video.. I love the movie and it's my daughters favourite. He then went on to shit on every character because they didn't want to fit into the role therr grandmother forced them into. Among other things he; said the arranged marriage was not a bad thing, the strong girl should suck it up, it doens't matter what you want if you have responsibility, they should follow their traditions and then blamed Mirabel for all the trouble. Missing the main point of the movie being about generational trauma and wanting better for your children. Sorry for long rant xD

I watched Falling Down for the first time a few months ago, really only knowing Frank Grimes was based on him and it was an experience.

For me it's usually more like youtube recommends the channel, I put the channel on as background for a day or two, even to the point of subbing maybe, until they get to a topic I actually know something about and realize they're just reading wikipedia or regurgitating netflix documentaries or something and don't really bother to understand what they're talking about
