I just don't get her style of humor

To me, her humor comes off really forced and flat. She looks like she's trying with all her might to be funny and because of that, her jokes fall flat. Jeremy Jahns was funny to me because he felt unscripted and laidback. He acts like a friend telling you about the last movie he saw. Catherine Reitman on the other hand, feels like she isn't really enjoying doing these reviews and is ripping her hair out as she's trying to come up with jokes when writing her scripts. She's pretty hot, though. Am I the only one who feels this way?

Not only that but she takes forever to get to the point of her reviews and for the most part just rips into certain directors and actors, and even the people who might share a different opinion than her own. Not a very good actress either, I can see why she's doing reviews on Youtube in the first place, even her family knows her talent is limited.

I have an unbelievably long ignore list.

She also doesn't get into them enough. She puts WAY too much focus on the jokes that aren't even funny. Her critiquing feels kinda rushed and I would prefer it if she spent at least 5-10 minutes talking about the movie like Half in the Bag. If you haven't seen Half in the Bag yet, check it out on RedLetterMedia.com. It's awesome!

Also, her skits are just lame and predictable.

I quite liked her bouncy, quirky humour.
Some of the jokes are in-house and get a bit dull 8th time around (Tom the Intern was just a dick and a really bad running joke), but her reviews are spot-on. She seems to share most of my tastes, although I really hate horror films and have no problem with violence and gore, so I found her review show really useful during its time.

Conversely, I never liked either Jeremy Jahns of The Schmoes and never understood why she kept calling them in as guests...

And yes, Cat is SEVERELY hot!!
