I'm wondering if you know about any creators making analysis or historical commentary on film.
The only one I know is Every Frame a Painting, can you recommend others in a similar vein?

If you are lucky you get one video a year, but it will be good
I used to follow corridor crew before they started huffing their own farts.
I got odd cryptochud vibes that I couldnt put my finger on. I heard they did a video on Twin Peaks The Return and that sounds like a comedy sketch with a narrow appeal.
Surprised to not see anyone in here mention Movies with Mikey (on YouTube under FilmJoy). He does really thoughtful movie analysis with great audio and video production. He's one of my favorite creators.
He's also on Nebula for people who'd rather see a video edit that can employ fair use without being taken down automatically.

making analysis or historical commentary on film
I've been really enjoying the podcast Four Play on the Last Free Nation Culture channel: https://piped.video/@LastFreeNationCulture https://www.youtube.com/@LastFreeNationCulture
For TV and movies, I like Screen Crush. Their humor is perfect for me, I like their mascot dog, and the ads aren't as bad as New Rockstars.
The only YouTube series I follow is RedLetterMedia: https://piped.video/@RedLetterMedia
All the ones mentioned already are great! I also like Filmmaker IQ:

And I'm going to leave a link to a story breakdown of Terminator 2 that is my bible. Absolutely worth a watch if you're into film analysis:

More on topic: I highly recommend Jared Bauer and Wisecrack if you like philosophy, politics, and how it relates to media.
Less historical, more comedic: After Hours, Cracked (their older stuff), and Dr. Jordan Breeding are comedic analysis of various media.
In depth analysis/socio-political insights/research: Jessie Gender for various insights into media (including animated shows like Lower Decks and Invincible).
Animation, I like Johnny 2 Cellos and Offbeat Kiki. Johnny in particular posts more often and has in depth takes, but Kiki, when she does post gives more nuanced takes imho.
Actual amazing animated projects you can watch on Youtube include Lackadaisy, Helluva Boss, and Hazbin Hotel.
Enjoy.
