Yeah, he's got some stuff where he's right on the money (George Carlin video), but other stuff where I go.....that's a bit of a stretch.
Like his matrix video.
The Matrix is the type of film that can be interpreted in dozens of ways and it's not your job to tell others what it means.
As a Christian, I see many spiritual truths of the Matrix some of which were no doubt intentional even though the Wachowski BROTHERS are obviously not Christian. Someone who wants to interpret the Matrix in a different way, even a surface, face value way is also legitimate.
His video on Jingle all the way seems legitimate and eye opening, but since I haven't seen it since I was a kid, I couldn't tell you if his analysis was accurate or cherry picked.
Yeah some people, like this guy, are so obsessed with "decoding" everything that they get locked into only seeing things in terms of others intent, usually in the worst way.
I took issue with that jingle all the way video, because it definitely feels like he's grasping at straws. All that "symbolism" only matters if you care about it and focus on it. Go too deep down those rabbit holes and you legitimately become schizophrenic.
The only interpretation I care about is my own. I don't really care how the author intended something to turn out if their words clearly differ from the end product.
