I see this with a lot of movie reaction/breakdown channels where there seems to be no issues showing anything video related, but they always comment about needing to mute the music in fear of strikes.
On the other hand, I see music reaction channels (with millions of subs) just playing and reacting to the audio like it’s no big deal.

If a music review channel is playing an actual song, then whoever owns the rights to that song have decided not to copyright strike people who use it on youtube. There are a lot of bands that have automatic copyright strikes set up. Music youtuber Rick Beato talked about it a few years ago. Some bands will not allow any pieces of their songs to be used on youtube for any reason.
I don’t know as much about how movie studios deal with copyright issues like that, but I have to assume that if a youtube reviewer uses clips from a movie and the video hasn’t been taken down then the studio didn’t care.
