I’m only an hour into this person’s 4 hour(!) review/criticism of the Star Wars hotel and am baffled at how poorly this was handled.

    I saw someone below say “it’s a review of a hotel”. It’s so much more than that.

    It’s a critical indictment of corporate greed, and the fleecing of family entertainment, and nerd culture, told in such minute and well research detail, it’s a 4 hour wonder. All of her stuff is like this.

    She’s a little Forrest gnome with an Einstein brain who graces us with her content. I’m a big big Jenny Nicholson fan.

        I heard about her video on fucking NPR. Seriously.

        All Things Considered did a little piece talking about how long form video essays are becoming more popular, but they concluded by saying that she did a bang-up job and had some good insights.

        It’s not a standing ovation, but having NPR run a story on your video and compliment your coverage is pretty damn skippy.
