The Cinema Snob

The Cinema Snob is the creation of Brad Jones. The Cinema Snob show and character focus primarily on making snarky reviews of exploitation and pornographic movies, attempting to judge them under the same standards of artistic films. Jones produces his videos under the production company Stoned Gremlin Entertainment and hosts them on his own website, thecinemasnob.com. He is also a regular contributor to thatguywiththeglasses.com.

A self-admitted connoisseur of exploitation films, Jones created the Snob as a parody of elitist film critics who traditionally see movies exclusively as works of art and look down upon films that don't meet their high expectations.

Jones first began posting his videos on YouTube before having to deal with the copyright-vs-fair use issue that befalls most reviewers on the world's biggest video site. By that time, however, he had drawn the notice of Noah "The Spoony One" Antwiler, who had been posting Jones' videos on his own The Spoony Experiment site, and Antwiler convinced Jones that creating his own website was the better way to go. Some time after creating thecinimasnob.com, Jones joined TGWTG.

Most of the Snob's videos begin with a title sequence that includes playing the theme song from "The Greatest American Hero" ("Believe it or Not" by Joey Scarbury), an ironic twist to the dark material usually covered in the videos.









Jones has released a number of other shows and characters in addition to The Cinema Snob:



Softly From Cable - A show featuring Brad's wife at the time Jillian sporting a blond wig (it has never been confirmed that she is directly parodying Shannon Tweed)

The show only lasted a couple of episodes



Big Box Man -



80s Dan - 80s Dan debuted on the Snob's review of Caligula, apparently meant to be a 1980s version of Linkara's 90s Kid; in the review, Snob claimed 80s Dan wasn't a real character and made him fade from existence. However, his popularity made Jones revive the character and give him his own show. The show is essentially a parody of 1980s sitcoms
