Plinkett reviews

Star Trek The Next Generation (TNG) Reviews:
It started when independent filmmaker/Founder of RedLetterMedia video production company Michael Stoklasa bought a dvd for the film Star Trek Generations, the first entry in the Star Trek The Next Generation series and seventh in the Star Trek film series. He hadn't seen it since 1994 when it came out in theatres and realised how much he hated the film. He stated that it "completely messed up the transition to the big screen from what was a really great tv show" (Star Trek: The Next Generation). Stoklasa's newfound hatred for the film led to him making a 20-30 minute long review of the film in which he picked apart the flaws of the film in detail.
Although originally recorded in his natural voice, Stoklasa felt this rendered the video too boring, so he decided to adopt the persona of Mr. Plinkett, a character previously played by RedLetterMedia employee Rich Evans in some of Stoklasa's short films. To keep the viewers interested throughout the review, Stoklasa framed it with the gradual revelation that the unreliable narrator character of Mr Plinkett was slightly senile and probably a murderer. The review grew decently popular [edit: MS actually gives the number of intial views during an interview - what did he say? 30,000?] and received many favorable comments asking Stoklasa to do more. He decided to follow up on it with reviews of the other TNG films (Star Trek First Contact,Star Trek Insurrection and Star Trek Nemesis). During this time Stoklasa directed a satirical short film for the 2009 reboot of the Star Trek franchise. In (year?) he eventually followed up with an actual review. These reviews have been praised for comedic timing and insightful critique.
Star Wars The Phantom Menace Review:
After making his TNG reviews,Stoklasa was told to do a Plinkett review of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. Not knowing where to begin he decided to make a much longer review at the lenth of 70 minutes. This review gained huge recognition and praise leading to review for the other star wars prequels.
