Their lefty opinions are kept on the more subtle side so it doesn't bother me too too much.
The problem is they just have nothing interesting to say. Their Prequel critique was low-hanging fruit, but it was interesting to see enumeration of all the ways it sucked.
I can't think of anything where I've said "huh that's a great point I never thought of that", which is what I want from them. Their takes are pedestrian and I couldn't care less about them laughing at some bad movie on VHS nobody has ever heard of.
edit: actually I can think of exactly one thing, when they called Best of Both Worlds a Riker Episode. The whole thing is Riker's character growth, becoming captain, throwing the book away, and a non-pussy reason for staying #1 in later seasons. This is the kind of thing I wish they did more of.
They quite literally are. They've stopped reviewing blockbusters and their main review show routinely goes over streaming horror shovelware. The burnout isn't hidden at all.
I find it really comforting. It means it's not just me.

Agree with pretty much everything else you said, but Best of The Worst is literally the most hilarious thing they've ever done besides Plinkett.

Well humor is subjective, but that's a really low bar isn't it?
One might say it's the best of the worst...
