''[[Brows Held High]]'' is a comedy review show about Arthouse cinema. It is hosted by Kyle "Oancitizen" Kallgren, who rose to some prominence on the [[That Guy With The Glasses]] forums when he wrote a [https://web.archive.org/web/20131021074457/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/blogs/latest/entry/my-toy-collection-for-a-horse-gender-roles-and-comparative-mythology-in-nellas-pony-epic dissertation] on [[The Nostalgia Chick|Nella]]'s ''[[My Little Pony]]'' epic.
His signature style usually involves a lot of high-brow intellectual concepts, but explained well enough that they don't go over viewer's heads.

* [[The Cameo]]: [[Diamanda Hagan]] appears at the end of the ''[[Ken Park]]'' review, and the end of ''[[Gerry]]''. The latter also features cameos from [[Apollo Z Hack]], [[Obscurus Lupa]] and Derek from [[Audible Underwear]].

He has now taken on ''[[W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism]]'', ''Sweet Movie'', ''Exterminating Angels'', and ''A Serbian Film'', along with several of the American examples that were on that page.
* [[Old Shame]]: When he posted the old review of ''The Girlfriend Experience'' on TGWTG, some comments came in, which he agreed with about the review coming off as slutshaming, and he contemplated removing the review altogether. He did say the intent wasn't to mock Sasha Grey for her adult film work, but the message he meant didn't come across clearly.
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: "TREES!"
Line 300:
** He repeats this little gem several times during 'Goodbye 20th Century':

** The first (translated) sentence of ''Exterminating Angels'' is: "The lampposts are in need of their long scarlet coats." Oancitizen ''dares'' the audience to explain what that means. There's also a later reference to "blood of airports...flooding blue grass."
** "Hamlet's a cheerleader. Why is Hamlet a cheerleader?"
