Todd In The Shadows

Todd In The Shadows is the music reviewer created by Todd Nathanson who now appears on thatguywiththeglasses.com. A former YouTube poster, Todd is known for primarily making snarky reviews of recent pop music - all while never showing his face on camera.

The setting for Todd's show is to have him in a dark room with just enough light cast to depict him as a silhouette while sitting at his keyboard. It is in this venue that he comments on pop musicals and their songs, mixing legitimate gripes about the music with humorous commentary.

Todd also produces a series called "One Hit Wonder," focusing on performers over the years that only had a single hit in their careers. These are much more historical than his other reviews, as he goes into detail over the background of the artists, describes what the one hit was about and what the performers did after that.

Todd's popularity on the site led him to get invited to group contributions on TGWTG, including crossover reviews, the anniversary specials and panels at conventions. Todd chose to keep up the gimmick of never showing his face for these events, wearing a Zorro-style mask for all public appearances and videos where he is seen in light; the mask he wears even goes so far to cover his eyes. In addition to appearing in "Kickassia," "Suburban Knights" and "To Boldly Flee," Todd has done reviews with the likes of Film Brain and The Nostalgia Critic.

Todd has also become a running gag with the Nostalgia Chick, whit the Chick supposedly being obsessed with and stalking him. Nathanson and Lindsay Ellis are actually dating off-camera.
