(Another) HotFuzz appreciation YouTube "Video-Essay" (www.youtube.com)

I feel like Hot Fuzz and Edgar Wright appreciation in youtube cinema critic or analysis videos are basically a meme by now (eg Every Frame a Painting did one 10 years ago ... shit I'm getting old) ...

but I'm a fan, so give me another serving any day.

Also this had things I didn't know about.

Some of the visual/directing references they dig out (and simply demonstrate through video comparison) are had no idea about (however accurate/intentional they are).

And I had no idea that Hot Fuzz is in many ways basically a remake/perfection of an indy short film Wright made as a late teen ("Dead Right" (1993), which has no wikipedia page, but seems to be up on youtube)

and yea ... I hate the guy's voice too ... still they're the only one I've seen keeping up the "serious video essay" format well and I appreciate that a lot TBH
