Craig Golightly a.k.a. "Vincent Dawn" a.k.a. "The Cinema Snob" is a lampooning of highbrow art-film lovers who hate any movie which isn't True Art. His backstory was later expanded upon, both within the show and in a movie by Brad Jones (lead actor and writer for The Cinema Snob), revealing that he is a failed exploitation filmmaker who took on a fake identity. Or not, depending on how the Snob feels about it in any given episode.^*Empire and the Cinema Snob are also may in the same continuity.

His old focus was old b-horror, exploitation and foreign knockoff films, with the semi-regular porn parody thrown in. More recently he has branched out into Christian Propaganda films and more mainstream slasher movies—or whatever tickles his fancy. Reviews circa 2016 range from Box Office Bombs like Wired and Bushwhacked to cult favorites like The Craft, the oeuvre of Neil Breen, and the Sex and the City movies.

The Cinema Snob Movie was released in 2012, written by Jones and directed by Ryan Mitchelle. They eventually reteamed to produce Another Cinema Snob Movie, which wrapped production in 2018 and was released on July 26th, 2019. In 2019, the Snob also received a spinoff shortform vlog series, Problematic! with The Cinema Snob, in which the character gives a satirical Political Overcorrectness take on a film-related issue of the day or parodies conventions of other kinds of video reviews. The spinoff vlogs quietly ended in 2020, though the Snob continued to experiment with shortform video with a new series of 1-minute reviews in 2022.
