Are you implying that if you don't like someone, you have to find arguments against anything a man produced?

Besides, I think everybody thinks it's a tomb and you gotta take 3 weeks off to start that one - that's why. I'm certain it's interesting, but it's way down my list and I'd guess Peterson makes his most striking points in his lectures already.

You watch reviewers like Kermode not because of -what- they say about a movie. Instead, you get to know their character/way of thinking/taste in 10 videos, and then by what they say about a movie and crosschecking with what you know about the reviewer, you decide to watch a movie or not.
Kermode does a good job: he sticks to under 5 mins, compares it to other stuff you know, doesn't spoil movies and occasionally you get to know of some film you'd have missed.
It's not about whether or not he is obsessed with this and that 80's sci fi or what his opinion about Shia Labouf is. It's not about what he thinks itself, it about his job of going to all the movies and outlining it to you in 3 minutes.
