Cinema being a largely visual media makes demands on the eye which would make it impossible to multi-task (at least on the first viewing).
Film reviews using video are secondary commentary.
I can pause the film and do something else or keep it running and listen to the comments and if something really catches my ear revisit that section of the review and see how it's been illustrated visually if I think it may be pertinent or entertaining to do so.
I can pause my reading of a book to do something else (often necessary if the book is particularly long) or I can listen to an audiobook and do several things at once (something I do frequently).
Fair enough - although, in the case of RLM, I'd say that at least by the point where we get to the STXI and EpIII reviews, the content of text and image becomes so dense, and often intertwined, that watching it while doing laundry or whatever becomes less and less practical.
But YMMV. At the end of the day, it all boils down to whether one is interested in a given work or not, and how much time (or effort) one is willing to spend on it. Personally, I'd say I'm interested enough in RLM itself and things that have to do with picking apart the plots of Star Wars or a number of other films I've seen (but SW, along with the Matrix franchise, has a special place for me in that regard, I'd say - nothing I'm ashamed to say on these boards, of course :D), that I can be bothered reading or writing relatively dull text about it if I think it gives me anything.
YMMV, obviously.
