RLM have clearly taken great pains to remain relatively apolitical in their content. I think Mike probably has the most creative control over the channel, and he likely values views (and dollars) more than virtue signaling. That said, they are all varying shades of liberal, with commie retard Josh being the worst.
The trouble with this apolitical approach to film criticism is that much of today’s mainstream entertainment is aggressively leftist, and this politicization is directly responsible for the massive falloff in quality. As an “apolitical” critic, this puts you in a position where you must pretend that mistakes and flaws in media are a result of run-of-the-mill incompetence rather than ideological possession.
When character behavior or plots don’t make sense, RLM chalks it all up to people being untalented. In reality, producers, writers, and directors aren’t untalented - they’re leftist bugmen who subscribe to inverted moralities and value systems. Their creations seem bizarre because the creators are alien and degenerate weirdos.
I’m reminded of the divide in gamergate pundits. You had the “ethics in journalism” crowd who were hell bent on reclaiming leftism from the Marxists by prosecuting what were essentially “process crimes”. These were the gamergate “leaders” who immediately flipped back to leftism the moment Trump won. They were pro-vaxx, pro-mask, pro-lockdown, etc.
Then you had the “welcome to the culture war” crowd who deep dove into the radical leftist ideologies underpinning video game journalism. These are the people Julian Assange was speaking to when he said that all of mainstream media are just like video game journalism.
In the end, the culture warriors were obviously correct. All of the insane ideologies of the game journos have rapidly metastasized from academia and media to the wider world of politics and business.
Strange tangent. Anyways, RLM are great but will probably go full retard at some point. Just the nature of things now.

They're untalented and leftist bugmen
They're untalented at making good movies, but that's not what they're really being hired for.
