If you're after in-depth movie analysis, there are probably better critics than Kristian Harloff and Mark Ellis, but if you want entertaining, casual reviews aimed at the broader viewer, these guys are definitely the way to go.

A huge part of their appeal is that they don't talk down to their audience and are basically like two of your buddies sitting on your couch discussing movies. This doesn't mean they don't provide worthwhile insight, but it's about as far away from self-regarding as you could possibly hope for.

The double act works terrifically (as you can see in their recent Ghostbusters review), and there's something highly welcoming about the low-key nature of most of their videos.
