I’ve really liked Defunctland’s Fastpass and Disney Channel Theme videos. Not on your interest list, but Milo Rossi/Miniminuteman has fun videos too
Contrapoints has a three hour yt video essay on Twilight. I’ve never read or watched Twilight, but she has a lot of fascinating takes on the romance genre as a whole. Absolutely would recommend for fans of Twilight and romance, but also for people who don’t understand what draws us to read those sorts of things.
Leaf by Leaf I’ve been watching every morning. I love his book recs and literary discussions but I’m editing my own one right now where I bake rare breads and talk about subjects in my life 😀 lol

video essays??
I love Intelexual Media’s takes on Black popular culture—some are very much about contemporary and historical Black female issues.
I’m not sure if it fits, but I could listen to babbitykates hours long rants on disney Princess and American Girl Dolls forever.
I am not American. These dolls/books have 0 relevance or nostalgia for me… I knew nothing off them, but goodness, she is so passionate about it. It’s a joy to listen to!
I also recommend her recital of christmas carols fors chapter – it’s word by word, yet sounds like an influencer ramble.
Anything by Jenny Nicholson! Probably her Evermore video on the renn faire theme park that just couldn’t exist. Her one on the Galaxy Cruiser had a wsj article published on it, so clearly she is the thinking woman’s video essayist.
Also ditto Contrapoints ! But it’s already been said
