Price of Reason

Price of Reason is a YouTube channel dedicated to pop culture news and reviews. Originally a pop culture news Twitter account, Price of Reason started uploading videos occasionally in 2019 but has been posting regularly since 2021. One of the channel's main goals is to offer more balanced reporting of Pop Culture News while often countering the crafted fixed narratives of the mainstream media. Not aligned or affiliated with any political party, the channel can look at pop culture events more objectively than traditional media outlets. The channel reviews various movies and TV shows, including well-known franchises such as the MCU and Star Wars. 
==Formats==
Four types of videos may appear on the channel Special Report' that discuss a current news item. Movie Review discusses the release of a new movie. TV Series Review discusses a current TV shows. On special occasions, there are videos where Price of Reason does a field report in public, known as Price of the Scene.
All Videos are hosted by Price of Reason at Price of Reason Studios.
==History==
In 2018, following the release of The Last Jedi, Price of Reason became an active online voice criticizing the creative and political direction the Star Wars franchise had taken. His Twitter account became a frequent contributor to the online conversation about the politicization of Entertainment, taking away fun and escapism from customers. Prior to the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk, Price of Reason, now running a Pop Culture News Account on Twitter, was frequently shadowbanned and de-amplified without any explanation. This was covered in non-mainstream media outlets, and Twitter officially provided no reason why the account was frequently silenced. This prompted Price of Reason to explore new ways to report Pop Culture News and reviews, and eventually, he decided to start posting regularly on YouTube.
==Style==
Price of Reason presents news in the form of an orange puppet. Most of his videos occur at the prestigious Price of Reason Studios, where he thoroughly discusses the latest Pop Culture News and developments accompanied by video snippets and images. Price of Reason often incorporates satire into his videos, creating a critical yet light-hearted atmosphere. 
==Guests==
Price of Reason is an elusive orange puppet that only surfaces on special occasions. He has only had one scheduled guest on his channel - Sci-Fi Author Matthew Kadish of The Salty Nerd Podcast. The guest appearance happened after Kadish was attacked online for criticizing the creative and marketing decisions behind Bird of Prey starring Margot Robbie. At the time, even people who worked on that production had tried to discredit him, but at the end of the day, it turned out that his criticism was valid since the movie underperformed at the box office.
