“Samurai Cop” is so great to watch - hilariously bad, but actually has two charismatic leads and all the good vibes of a buddy cop film down. Pretty enjoyable every time.

I don’t like his material after “The Room”, it feels way too unauthentic and forced self-parody to me, even if he manages to make it funny bad again (but not really same tone as the movie).

In “The Room” he’s definitely being his authentic self trying to make what his idea of “good” movie was, you can read about it in Greg Sestero’s (Mark in the movie) and Tom Bissell book “The Disaster Artist” if you doubt with what intention he made the movie. Or even listen to it in audiobok form, Greg does amazing impression of Tommy and sheds lots of background info on their history and how the movie came to be

Depends on the content, I guess. If I browse history and archaeology videos for a while I start to get a ton of quality suggestions from much smaller and more specialised channels. This and music channels uploading vintage and forgotten records and tracks has gotten me some great finds that e.g. music streaming services would never suggest as they’re not even in their catalogues sometimes.

That said YT seems to try and soft reset my suggestions once in a while promoting clickbait videos, but a session of using “don’t recommend channel” or “i don’t like this video” from their options, and digging into my subscribed channels for the usual stuff shifts it back to normal good recommendations again.
