I laughed every time that black woman got pissed a movie had an interracial couple in it, she really does sound like an incel.

I couldn't even make it through the full thing. I have no idea what Jay from RedLetterMedia saw in it to recommend it but I hope he's not going woke.
 
Jay seems to smoke the progressive peace pipe, but he has a few good recommendations from time to time. I had a feeling that this documentary would skew into personal rants instead of actual spotlights of interesting black characters in the horror genre. A lot of documentaries as of late such as the ones covering Alien and Showgirls are viewed through a feminist lens and the actual movies take a backseat to the creator and others coming up with their own interpretations.
 
The last movie they jizz over is The Girl with All the Gifts. I found that movie to be bad, not awful by any means just bad.

And of course, they look for something that isn't there.
 
3: blacks were the first to die in mostly the slasher movies because they were given bit parts and the casting was trying to be believable

I have another theory about why this has become an enduring movie trope: primarily white audiences are more likely to feel bad about a black character dying than a white character.

There's that, but even more so it is basically not a real thing in horror movies and virtually never happened. If the black guy is the protagonist's funny best friend, he's probably screwed, but otherwise he's in no more trouble than anyone else. Black men also probably outnumber black women 10:1 in horror movies, whatever you want to make of that.
