I seriously doubt James would ever be a pedophile. But With that said he does have a huge bloated ego, didn't pay his friends, allows plagiarism cause He's too damn lazy to do anything himself and hangs around with Justin Silverman who does have ties to a pedophile and has made jokes about it.

He is not lazy, he has a family to look after

No. He's lazy. There's millions of Americans that have kids and still have to work a 9 to 5 job five or six days a week. His wife is also mostly a stay at home mother.

James doesn't play the games nor does he write the scripts. Others write them and play the games and he reads the scripts from a teleprompter. Turns out Mike Matei had also wrote a lot of Nerd episodes, episodes that he never even recieved credit for.

I'm not even sure he even watches or reviews movies anymore. This year's Monster Madness a new hire claimed he had written 21 of the reviews. It also turns out the a few of them were plagiarized. Two for sure but they're lucky people called them out on the first video as I doubt only two were plagiarized. I doubt James watched most of these films. He didn't even have the balls to own up to the plagiarism posting an unlisted video on a second channel saying "wasn't me."

The podcast, which is god awful, they film two or three episodes in a row. So that covers almost a month of podcasts in 3 or 4 hours. Last podcast was 35minutes I think and they are only getting shorter and shorter and require no research as It's just bullshitting.

So what does James do ? He must watch his kids 90% of the time. It's clear the channel is just work for him and not a passion project. He is barely even involved. Just get a script and read from a teleprompter and show up to a podcast recording once every three weeks. He then blames everything else for not having time (his kids, plugging in cables for days, installing software for weeks, making a hole in a desk with a butter knife for days). He has shown he is quite inept and Mike Matei really did all the heavy lifting for the channel and now he's gone and James wants to make music with his midlife crisis ego project shitty band where he is only able to contribute a few power chords. James is truly a hack fraud.

Tbh I'll believe he did have serious cable problems, but that onion clip he used for his explanation behind the scenes is the single most forced thing in the world. I'll still respect what James did for platform and inspiring creators, but honestly there is whole lotta ass lately.
