Would I love another episode? Of course. Why? Because it’s a great (and massively underrated) series. But what I would love way more is for you to pursue what you’re really passionate about, man. You can do it. I don’t say that to just anyone. You’re a witty, charismatic and insanely talented guy with so much potential. You can fucking do it. Your story is very much relatable. I’m also an aspiring artist held back by anxiety, depression and substance abuse issues. But I’ve been sober two and a half years, lost over 80 pounds and am finally getting back into what I’m passionate about; acting and writing. So, yeah, I very much relate. But you’re an inspiration. Seriously, people just need to watch this video to see why. In my comment to your previous video, I mentioned that you look great. Well, I’m mentioning it again because, damn, is that one handsome motherfucker right there! All I ask of you is that you keep us posted on where you’re at in life from time to time. I (and it seems a good few other people) genuinely care about you. So, we want to know that you’re alive and how you’re coming along in your music career. Speaking of which, can I get your autograph while it’s still relatively cheap? Thanks! But seriously, Andrew, we love you. Be happy. Oh, and I had an intense urge to bro-hug you. You are lucky we’ve got a shit-ton of miles between us!
Thanks man, I really appreciate your support. A lot of us go through these issues and are hell bent on pretending to the world that everything is fine, maybe to even try and convince ourselves that it's not so bad. As for your acting and writing, what ever you do don't stop because you never know what opportunities are around the corner. Think positively and do positive acts and good things start to happen. As for my autograph, I'll do you one even better, when I make it I'll send you one for free, as long as you send me one when you make it too. ;) We may not be able to bro hug, but we can virtually bro hug (virtually bro hugs you)
Love you Andrew Lewis What few people realize is that emotional abuse succeeds where all other forms of abuse fail. It damages your sense of self and your emotions. It messes with you in ways other forms abuse can’t. Maybe what you need is to take the source of the stress and anxiety and throw it out of your life. On behalf of your fan base we all love you and are looking forward to you getting better
Thanks, I'm coming to terms with that myself, but knowing that it's happened is what will help the healing begin. I said to someone, it's like I've been walking around with a headache all me life, then one day I pull a huge metal shard out from the back of my head I never knew was there. It still hurts, and it was even more painful to take it out, but at least now I know I can properly heal. Yours is a profile pic I've seen a bit over the years so thanks again for all your support.
all of us have our highs and lows in life..as long as u dont give up its all good.....u deserve way more subs....best of luck.... in the wise words of samurai cop..... its hard and ready.
Geez, what do you say to a video like this? Serious kudos for putting it up, Andrew. I think I needed to see this, as I'm pretty much going through the same thing; feeling like a failure, and suffering pretty bad burnout and exhaustion. I've just completed dry January (almost without mistake), and you've inspired me to get up and use my afternoon to go to the gym and try to fight back too. Also, I just wanna tell you that the number of times over the past couple of years that my girlfriend and I have just started randomly singing "You know you're gonna see the best of the worst with the shit-flick-criticcaaaaaaahh"... I've lost count. So you know you got talent! Keep us posted with updates if you feel comfortable doing so. It'd be inspiring to hear how you're coming on. Steve from England
Thank you for making this video. I'm currently at a point in my life where I feel like I've been self-sabotaging myself by letting my anxiety make all my decisions for me. Hearing you talk about your life and your journey just really motivated me to try and do better. Thank you! You're obviously super talented since you were able to make such great content und those difficult conditions and I truely wish you the best for the future!
Dude I'm speechless with your testimony. Having overcome so much, that fast is truly amazing. Abusive relationship can and does crush souls. I'll be here for the next movie review and/or your music. Do as you fill like, I'm sure it'll be great. Best wishes from Brazil to you.
My best friend sent me your Birdemic review and I laughed to tears. Thank you. I had the shittest contract law exam today, and so needed that. I absolutely love your work already after seeing one video, so I'll slowly savour the remaining ones. I've suffered with anxiety and depression too. I'm also a pianist and hate performing in front of others. My friend's mother is a narcissist. I can't imagine how bad it can be to have someone who is supposed to nurture you and be there for you to actually be the most toxic POS. I'm happy to hear that you're in a better place. Believe in yourself, please! I am going to share the SH!T out of your content and you have a subscriber for life any time you want to do more vids. Don't feel pressured to flip out content all the time. And I treasure mistakes. I make them constantly. Just know that there'll always be haters out there. You know, internet anonymity.
What a card, man. I'm so sorry to hear that your dad treated you that way. (When you first started to say he was a narcissist, I thought you were going to say he was a Nazi 😳.) But good on you for recognising the problem, because a lot of people don't. Thanks for sharing, it couldn't have been easy. Just keep your chin up and remember that we believe in you :)
Sometimes I feel like maybe life would be easier if he was a Nazi, then I remember WW2 and I change my mind. When I found out I was in a daze for a couple of weeks and it felt like everything I knew up till that point was a lie, but it's easier now. Thanks you so much for your on going support.
Hey bro, I hope the best for you in your future endeavors. I gotta tell you that your shit flick critic show saved me in a way. For Christmas in 2014 I received the Room from my sister, my wife of 5 years had just left me before Christmas and at this time I was a bad addict as I had been for most of my life. On January the 19th of 2015 I had a severe accidental drug overdose and died on my way to the hospital twice. I was resuscitated but was in a coma for two weeks, when I finally awoke from my coma I was in a state of extreme psychosis so they put me in the mental health ward for two weeks. The day I got home I was flipping through RUclips looking for reviews about the Room (which is still my favourite movie), and your channel came up. Your review was fucken hilarious, I hadn't laughed like that for a long time. It really helped me man, so all I gotta say is thank you, I only wish for the best for ya. P.S. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Canada, I know you had lived in Vancouver for a bit, but I hope you got to see a bit more of the country, Vancouver's full of dumbass British Columbians, JK. Peace.
Christ man, that's pretty rough, but I'm glad I was able to bring some sunlight into what was some pretty dark times for you. I always felt kind of guilty for only staying in Vancouver and BC, but there's always more trips in the future right? Thanks again for the support and best of luck in the future.
@@ShitFlickCritic I appreciate the response friend, best of luck to you and your music, I'll have to check it out, but who knows maybe you'll be headlining in Winnipeg someday, although I suggest not doing it during the winter, The Peg turns into a frozen shit-pit right quick, peace bro.
Its astounding that you made such good content with such conditions. Speaks of your talent. Good luck with anything you do. Being creative - vids, writing, music, is always a struggle. You have to fight yourself everyday, but you cannot force being crestive either. The pressure you set on yourself is probably the worst way to approach it. But it seems you realize that yourself. And passion, yep, if you give in to your passion, and you have fun, and you believe that what you do is GOOD, then thats the right track. Just be very careful that some negative feedback or setbacks bring you down again ^^
Thanks a lot, I' glad you understand. Just being I'm not doing the SFC doesn't mean that you'll never hear from me again. Keep your ear to the ground and I PROMISE you'll see me someone in one capacity or another.
Legend, well done lad! Delighted for you. Was stuck dealing with Narcissist for nearly 10 years myself. You will never make that type of person happy no matter what you do or how subservient you become. Only thing you can do is break away and be happy for you. The old videos were great lad and even gave me a laugh and a pick me up when I needed it. I wish you all the best in the future, ya never know might see ya gigging in Ireland one day
Glad to see your doing good man! I went through a similar situation where I felt I couldn’t do anything but now i feel better than ever and getting to a point where things are going in my favour. Loved your content can’t wait to see what else you do
Hello there! I missed your last video but I am glad I caught this one. I'm nearly 30 and I'm finally trying to deal with my anxiety and depression. Unfortunately my family doctor 'doesn't believe in it', and even though I finally went to my first psych appointment and it went well -- it's still pieces that are trying to come together. Sometimes I wonder if it's too late to try, but I don't think it does... Anywho, I reckon I just enjoy hearing you talk. I understand the pressure of upcoming things after there's a certain expectation. That was me with writing. Listening to you talk about it verbalized, it makes sense... I stopped drinking too and it's been.. .Nice. It's been nice! Take care. x
Hey, I'm glad your seeking help, I went and saw a therapist recently and it did me a lot of good. It is DEFINITELY not too late, there's always another day and always another opportunity to grow and improve. I'm nearly 30 too and I'm throwing all the age shit out of a window, age is just a number and the limits that emminate therefrom are all expectations from society. You do you, and do it proud. Thanks for the support.
Take the time to take care of yourself. A lot of people pretend they have their life together but its all lies. Thanks for being authentic - it is brave and inspiring. Anxiety and depression will always be in my shadow too, lurking. But I also have found ways to tame the monsters. You're not alone. The best of luck with your music :) (Sad to see the Shit Flick Critic go though. Youre so witty and cutting. Just hilarious)
Thanks, I'm happy that video made an impact. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea uploading it I guess because then I'd seem vulnerable and not the pinnacle of perfection I want people to see me as. I think it's important that we all be more honest with each other and stop acting how we want others to see us. Even though the SFC is over (for now) that dosn't mean you'll never see me again. You just keep and eye out ;)
Saw your video Andrew.. I am very glad you are finding your own path and separating from negative and toxic elements. I have without a doubt loved watching your critic videos. I love watching independent people on youtube more than tv and movies. You are talented and sincere. I would love more than anything for more critic videos, but you are your own man and I respect that and wish you all the best with your music and your own prosperity.
I've been in dark places too, I hope everything works out for you. I've been subscribed to your channel since 2017(so long I can't really remember), I really like your show. Never let anyone give you shit, cheers.
God bless you mate. I deal with depression with CBT and sertraline. It’s a horrible condition with no visible features which makes it hard to explain. I hope you overcome it soon brother. Now get your thinking cap on and get another review in the making as you are fucking great at it.
Personally living with constant Depression and Regret for the smallest thing i do. i know how it feels like feeling worthless and awful all the time. but i have worked on all that for very long time and life is getting better and better. finding a girlfriend who actually accepts my issues and just keep being the kindest person helps. but i still know that i am the person that needs to change, to teach myself to be more confident and happy with myself. no one but YOU can truly help yourself. Work your ass off man! do what you love to do! ill be looking forward to your new stuff alot! sidenote: my friends father was a Narcissist and abused his three children. ive seen second hand how awful it can be! Never give up!
Can't believe it's been over a year 😥 wish to see you again. I feel like we're only scrapping the surface you. Birdemic was the 1st video I saw from you and I subscribed 😂 Hope you are well
Really loved your videos, I tend to get really depressed at times, wondering what will happen n if im gonna have a job n money n place to stay, feeling like a failure in life. So I always really appreciated having a good laugh n being able to feel better. You provided that very well. Thanks for all the great videos and hilarious commentary. You really helped me enjoy life when I was going through shitty times.
Wow Andrew...thanks for sharing! Anxiety and depression are serious issues and it takes a lot of balls to speak up about it. Congrats on your weight loss and best of luck with the music. You're a legend!
I would lie if I said I didn't want new SFC episodes. However, you're now clearly in a better place and that's the most (only) important thing. I'll stay subscribed just in case! Also the weight loss really shows man, you look great!
ooooh thanks! (flutters eyelashes) The diet definitely is working. PLEASE stay subscribed A. On the off chance I decide to do more episodes in the future and B. I'll keep you up to date for how things are going musically.
First i wanna say i love your content. In regards to depression i was at my lowest points a few years ago dealing with the death of my son i was looking for any and everything to take my attention from the darkest corners of my mind when i came across the “Shit Flick Critic” that catchy ass theme song lol... but watching your reviews brought me some much needed laughter and stole my attention for a moment in time. Happy that you’re overcoming your anxieties and depression and going for what you want in life, whether it be music or whatever i wish you the best sir
I don't know what to say, I'm just so happy I was able to ease your pain in such dark circumstance, I hope your healing now. I had no real goal when I set out to make the shit flick critic but improving peoples moods was definitely at the top of my list so I am so happy I was able to achieve that. I hope all is well and thanks for your support.
Andrew, you’re an inspiration. And listening to your story is just, more inspiring. Because I’ve been there, I’ve been diagnosed bipolar and well, you can imagine how that is; but as someone who enjoys the creative process and hearing someone like you talking about it (music or videos) is, what I said, inspiring AF!!! Thanks!!!!!! I’ve liked your videos and they helped me when I was in a bad place, I laughed really hard several times after a long time! You look great, by the way. Thanks for all the episodes, we’ll always have that. And I wish you all the success that you deserve!!
It brings me so much joy to know that I was able to bring you out of a dark place (having been there myself.) Whatever I do in this life, my main motivation is to heal and inspire, so I'm glad I'm already making an impact. As for your bipolar, you hang in there. Some things in life aren't a problem, but a challenge. You will be so much stronger and resilient than the average person due to what you've been though and that can only mean good things await. Just remember too, when it comes to art, we all have our own emotional colour palette that we use to create, when we go through heartache our blues get richer, when we feel love our reds get warmer. Thanks for the support and all the best!
@Brett M said it so much better than I could. You’ve proved that you can do this. We’ll support you in what ever you want to do with your life. Good on ya, mate.
Dude take your time and take care of yourself first. All of us support you and I definitely know ill be here to watch all your videos when you're ready to do it again, best of luck on your music
You know if you go back and watch the local access years of mystery science theater Joel is so anxious about being on camera he can barely even get the words out. It's honestly a little jarring to be watching a TV host that can barely speak straight. And honestly, your videos are BETTER than those old mst3k episodes lol. Keep up the good work.
Best of luck in pursuing your dream dude. I've also had same kind of dad and surely he did leave scars on me, which I can feel even today. Stay strong mate, I have my fingers crossed for u! And hey, if u ever decide to upload your music, give us a heads up ;-)
I've got a musci channel called 'AndoMusic' where all of my recordings are and where I'm gonna post all the live shows I do here ruclips.net/channel/UCO38PQ481pnZNIUFdCrg06w
As for your Dad, sorry to hear. The hardest part was that I believed him because I trusted him up until this point of my life, but now I know it's all bullshit. Now that I know how wrong he was, the sky is the limit. Thanks again.
Hey, man! I wish you all the clarity of the world to help you find yourself. If you want to be, just be and fuck the rest. I was always told I couldn't do shit and I accomplished a lot. Because I didn't care. I didn't want to show anything to no one. I just wanted to do my shit. I hope this helps. I really miss new clips from the Shit Flick Critic....It's the best of its kind on RUclips. All the best, my friend!
If you ever get some sort of record deal please make a video on it because I'll be buying it PS: hope 2019 is a great year for you because after all you have been through you deserve a great and happy life
God bless you mate. I deal with depression with CBT and sertraline. It’s a horrible condition with no visible features which makes it hard to explain. I hope you overcome it soon brother. Now get your thinking cap on and get another review in the making as you are fucking great at it.

Your story is very much relatable. I’m also an aspiring artist held back by anxiety, depression and substance abuse issues. But I’ve been sober two and a half years, lost over 80 pounds and am finally getting back into what I’m passionate about; acting and writing. So, yeah, I very much relate. But you’re an inspiration. Seriously, people just need to watch this video to see why.
In my comment to your previous video, I mentioned that you look great. Well, I’m mentioning it again because, damn, is that one handsome motherfucker right there!

Hope you are doing good Andrew. Youre a very funny and talented guy! Love your videos.
I would lie if I said I didn't want new SFC episodes. However, you're now clearly in a better place and that's the most (only) important thing. I'll stay subscribed just in case! Also the weight loss really shows man, you look great!
ooooh thanks! (flutters eyelashes) The diet definitely is working. PLEASE stay subscribed A. On the off chance I decide to do more episodes in the future and B. I'll keep you up to date for how things are going musically.
It's nice to see more of you lately
Totally good man, you've had a really busy really wild couple of years! Going all over the world!
First i wanna say i love your content. In regards to depression i was at my lowest points a few years ago dealing with the death of my son i was looking for any and everything to take my attention from the darkest corners of my mind when i came across the “Shit Flick Critic” that catchy ass theme song lol... but watching your reviews brought me some much needed laughter and stole my attention for a moment in time. Happy that you’re overcoming your anxieties and depression and going for what you want in life, whether it be music or whatever i wish you the best sir
I don't know what to say, I'm just so happy I was able to ease your pain in such dark circumstance, I hope your healing now. I had no real goal when I set out to make the shit flick critic but improving peoples moods was definitely at the top of my list so I am so happy I was able to achieve that. I hope all is well and thanks for your support.
Wow Andrew amazing words we can all definitely relate to those feelings of self doubt, cheers fellow Australian!!
Andrew, you’re an inspiration.
And listening to your story is just, more inspiring. Because I’ve been there, I’ve been diagnosed bipolar and well, you can imagine how that is; but as someone who enjoys the creative process and hearing someone like you talking about it (music or videos) is, what I said, inspiring AF!!!
Thanks!!!!!!
I’ve liked your videos and they helped me when I was in a bad place, I laughed really hard several times after a long time!
You look great, by the way.
Thanks for all the episodes, we’ll always have that.
And I wish you all the success that you deserve!!
It brings me so much joy to know that I was able to bring you out of a dark place (having been there myself.) Whatever I do in this life, my main motivation is to heal and inspire, so I'm glad I'm already making an impact. As for your bipolar, you hang in there. Some things in life aren't a problem, but a challenge. You will be so much stronger and resilient than the average person due to what you've been though and that can only mean good things await. Just remember too, when it comes to art, we all have our own emotional colour palette that we use to create, when we go through heartache our blues get richer, when we feel love our reds get warmer. Thanks for the support and all the best!
@Brett M said it so much better than I could. You’ve proved that you can do this. We’ll support you in what ever you want to do with your life. Good on ya, mate.
Thanks Greg, I promise you that I'll make it, and you'll always know that it was your support that got me there.
We love you mate !
Dude take your time and take care of yourself first. All of us support you and I definitely know ill be here to watch all your videos when you're ready to do it again, best of luck on your music
Cheers! Thanks for understanding.
Best of luck!
You know if you go back and watch the local access years of mystery science theater Joel is so anxious about being on camera he can barely even get the words out. It's honestly a little jarring to be watching a TV host that can barely speak straight. And honestly, your videos are BETTER than those old mst3k episodes lol. Keep up the good work.
Best of luck in pursuing your dream dude. I've also had same kind of dad and surely he did leave scars on me, which I can feel even today. Stay strong mate, I have my fingers crossed for u! And hey, if u ever decide to upload your music, give us a heads up ;-)
I've got a musci channel called 'AndoMusic' where all of my recordings are and where I'm gonna post all the live shows I do here

As for your Dad, sorry to hear. The hardest part was that I believed him because I trusted him up until this point of my life, but now I know it's all bullshit. Now that I know how wrong he was, the sky is the limit. Thanks again.
Hey, man! I wish you all the clarity of the world to help you find yourself. If you want to be, just be and fuck the rest. I was always told I couldn't do shit and I accomplished a lot. Because I didn't care. I didn't want to show anything to no one. I just wanted to do my shit. I hope this helps. I really miss new clips from the Shit Flick Critic....It's the best of its kind on RUclips. All the best, my friend!
If you ever get some sort of record deal please make a video on it because I'll be buying it
PS: hope 2019 is a great year for you because after all you have been through you deserve a great and happy life
My mother does the exact same thing.
Would you consider opening a patreon for the Ando career? I’m sure a few of us fans would support the cause.
It's really sad seeing that you may not do more videos, but if your happy and doing better then go with what's doing that.
Thanks for your understanding, it's a shame but hey, you never know what the future will bring.
I liked your movie videos but you should do what is best for you. Good luck with your music.
Cheers mate! Thanks for understanding.
Is there any way to hear some of the music your working on or have done?? Really enjoyed your content and am interested in this new path your taking!!

absence part 3?

God bless you mate. I deal with depression with CBT and sertraline. It’s a horrible condition with no visible features which makes it hard to explain. I hope you overcome it soon brother. Now get your thinking cap on and get another review in the making as you are fucking great at it.
