Moviebob

Robert "Bob" Chipman (born ), better known online as moviebob (also known as "The Game Overthinker"), is a self-proclaimed "Z-list internet celebrity" who maintains a YouTube channel and a website, and formerly contributed to Geek.com, Screen Rant, ScrewAttack, and The Escapist. He rips apart bad movies, but his particular schtick is giving analyses of gaming culture and the industry, in a style closely reminiscent of college-lit-class-style "close reading", overlaid with appropriate (and sometimes humorous) images.

Bob's current shows are:
*The Big Picture: A weekly show on in which Bob talks about whatever he felt like talking about. Usually, but not always, this is news in geek culture and tangential subjects therein. It was temporarily replaced by In Bob We Trust, and revived when Bob returned to The Escapist in 2018. When he left again, he took the series and assets with him, and now posts new episodes on YouTube.
*The Big Screen: His film review show, originally called Escape to the Movies; updates a few times a week. He also created video reviews of films in a very similar style to Escape to the Movies on Geek.com.
*Really That Good: A series based around in-depth exploration of past movies that are consistently celebrated, and discussing how and why these films live up to the praise by talking about the themes, style, narrative, pop cultural impact, and other tropes of the picture.
*Good Enough Movies (or GEMs): A companion series to Really That Good that he describes as "a celebration of the two-and-a-half to three-star movie", the kind of film that's not regarded as a classic but has stood the test of time regardless, and typically has a passionate fandom along with a lot of people who like it even if they don't love it.
His discontinued shows are:
*The Game Overthinker: Bob's first series. It originally focused on video game analysis, it grew into a more story-driven series about the line between the worlds of humanity and gaming getting blurred, a format that lasted for 100 episodes and two Channel Hops. After the 100th episode and a hiatus that lasted for about a year, the show continued for a while in ScrewAttack's YouTube channel while focusing on the analysis again in a shorter format for yet another year. Currently dormant, but the Overthinker persona is occasionally brought out when The Big Picture talks about games.
*Overbytes: Basically, The Game Overthinker minus the story-driven segments.
*In Bob We Trust: A show, originally started on ScrewAttack and later continued on his personal YouTube channel, that was a continuation of The Big Picture. Not only is the show about pop culture and politics, but he also breaks out the term "Comics Are Weird", a Running Gag/Catchphrase from TBP. Originally a weekly show with new episodes every Sunday, he revamped it into a longer-form video essay show released more intermittently after The Escapist hired him again, as he didn't want them to clash with The Big Picture. Defunct as of his leaving The Escapist for the second time, since he now fully owns The Big Picture.
*Intermission: A written column accompanying the week's Escape to the Movies episode. Sometimes it's a further discussion of a particular element from that week's film, sometimes it's a discussion of older films or a trend in filmmaking, and sometimes (if more than one film came out that caught Bob's interest) it's another review. It was canceled when he leftThe Escapist; unlike Escape to the Movies, it never returned.
*High Definition: A written column for discussing TV shows in various ways that ran each Monday while Bob was at The Escapist.
*Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D./Agent Carter Recap: A weekly recap/review of episodes of the series that runs each Wednesday while the series is active. During the gap between Season 1 and 2 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Bob took the time to talk about all of the past Marvel Comics-related TV shows.
*American Bob: A political vlog on YouTube. Currently on hiatus, since he can't afford to do it at the moment due to lack of revenue.
==Controversy==
===Comments about eugenics===
Bob has made a number of comments about eugenics,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGHKgCKEiHw&ab_channel=DeadwingDork like saying it had been "tainted" by racists and Nazis.https://64.media.tumblr.com/cc85ee775e3a77ae457771cb79704d53/tumblr_inline_pqf7j1tzsE1rz7np0_400.png He also claimed they ruined intelligence-based voting.https://64.media.tumblr.com/e2d59816f0d52c34c1cb3548787dabe0/tumblr_inline_pqf7qgS4cU1rz7np0_1280.png 
===Supporting Cuties===
When Netflix released the 2020 controversial movie Cuties, it received heavy criticism due to the fact that it sexualized children (such as several scenes of 11-year-olds twerking and doing sexual poses). The general reception towards it has been very negative, with the trailer at 2.2M dislikes and most reviewers calling it horrible. However, Bob praised it and said it anyone who called it a pedophile film was lying.https://twitter.com/the_moviebob/status/1312649818020474880

==Trivia==

In his review of First Man he called Neil Armstrong landing on the moon "the coolest thing a human being had ever done ever up to that point" and admitted to being "an easier target for this specific kind of movie than I am for just about anything".
*He considers his rant on Megan Fox from Jennifer's Body an old shame.
