Nostalgia Critic

This is a list of episodes for the internet television series The Nostalgia Critic. The show involves The Nostalgia Critic (played by Chicago comedian Douglas Walker), often referred to as simply The Critic, reviewing mostly movies and television series from the 1980s to 1990s, some more recent or less recent which are usually negative reviews.

The series was initially launched on YouTube before moving to an independent site, That Guy with the Glasses, run by production company Channel Awesome. In April 2008 the videos were removed from YouTube but an arrangement between the company and content host Blip.tv in 2009 resulted in them being featured on YouTube once more. The show averages 100,000 to 200,000 viewers per week. The Nostalgia Critic show alone generated $32,000 in income during the third quarter of the 2009 fiscal year.

The most common format is the Nostalgia Critic sitting in front of table and reviewing a given film or television series. The reviews are intercut with scenes from the subject of review or relevant other media (frequently as part of a running gag). Some episodes are "Top 11" lists, in which the Nostalgia Critic counts down his selection of, for example, the Top 11 Scariest Nostalgic Moments. Rarely, non-review episodes are released, as information, special events or part of a story arc.

2008 episodes

The character of the Nostalgia Critic and the format of the series developed over the initial episodes. The Critic is uncharacteristically hyper in the first episode as compared to later episodes. This became the springboard for the character Chester A. Bum (also played by Douglas Walker) and the Bum Reviews (using additional elements from episode nine). The Critic is first seen sitting in his chair in the second episode. This episode is also the first time he wields his gun and in which his "Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic--I remember it so you don't have to" catchphrase is first used. The character's appearance is defined in the fourth episode. Episode seven features the first "Top Eleven" list along with the catchphrase "Why Top 11? Because I like to go one step beyond." The 2008 episodes strongly feature an ongoing plot involving a scripted feud with the Angry Video Game Nerd (played by James D. Rolfe).

The Critic reviews Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue (1990, Unrated) and is put off by the fact that classic cartoon characters, Bugs Bunny and Simon Seville in particular, know what illegal drugs are. He is also baffled when he finds out that George H. W. Bush introduces the special. He tries to commit suicide during the musical number sung by the characters ("A Million Different and Wonderful Ways to Say No") and also criticizes the special for being very mean-spirited since a lot of the cartoon characters act violently, and finds that its morals are far too preachy and repetitive. In the end, however, The Critic admits that the people who made the animation did try to encourage viewers not to do drugs. Introducing: "Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic" catchphrase; The Critic committing suicide and his prop gun.
3	"Cloverfield Trailer Review"	[3]	04:07	April 8, 2008 (2008-04-08)
The Critic speculates, prior to its release, about the plot of Cloverfield (2008, PG-13, Paramount) and of the appearance of the monster. This speculation conflates into "Giant Robot Donkey Kong Jesus riding on a puff of smoke". The Critic reviews the movie proper in Episode 9.
4	"Power Rangers: A Look Back"	[4]	08:46	April 9, 2008 (2008-04-09)
The Critic reviews Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995, PG, 20th Century Fox). He admits he was never a fan of the franchise and exclaims that the plot makes no sense. He criticizes the movie for having a wasted budget - he jokes that the money was entirely used on sky diving - poor special effects, the fact the Power Rangers never seem to have parents in the series, and how the moral is to fight without your powers, yet the Power Rangers get them back eventually. He also believes that the cast change for the yellow and black Power Rangers was racially motivated since Thuy Trang was Asian and Walter Jones was African-American. (This would be referenced in Episode 93.) Introducing: White shirt and red tie and the "Wah-wah" and shrug gag.
5	"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Launch"	[5]	08:18	April 10, 2008 (2008-04-10)
The Critic attends a midnight launch party for J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which ends up with him pulling a Spoiler Alert for some of his viewers who have not yet read the book. Despite claiming he is not bothered by the book's release, when the countdown to the release ends, he goes into an exaggerated fit of joy, screaming and throwing his clothes around.
6	"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movies"	[6]	11:00	April 11, 2008 (2008-04-11)
The Critic reviews Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990, PG, New Line Cinema), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991, PG, New Line Cinema) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993, PG, New Line Cinema). He states that the movies were more like homework assignments. He praises the first two, but harshly criticizes the third. The Critic never actually reviews the third movie, however; after watching five minutes of it, he is horrified to the point of screaming and crying in his bath tub. The Critic is also confused when Shredder survives falling off a tall building and getting crushed by a garbage truck in the first movie, but Super Shredder cannot even survive falling debris from a pier in the second. He also criticizes April O'Neil's costume design in the movie, but praises the puppet work of Jim Henson. He also believes that the second movie was made more for kids due to the violence and cursing seen in the first movie being removed for the second.

The Critic reviews Super Mario Bros: The Movie (1993, PG, Hollywood Pictures). He states that Dennis Hopper, playing Koopa, easily gave the worst performance in the movie. He also states that the chemistry between Luigi and Daisy is more confusing than Tom Cruise and any actress he dated. The Critic even criticizes the movie for not even resembling the video game and believes that the directors really went out of their way to make the Goombas not even come close to resembling their video game counterparts. In the end, he states that it is very ironic that two people directed the movie. Introducing: The "Or do they?" close up gag.

10	"Street Fighter + Mortal Kombat: The Movie Reviews Part 1"	[10]	08:17	April 15, 2008 (2008-04-15)
The Critic reviews Street Fighter (1994, PG-13, Universal Studios). While admiring Raul Julia's final performance, he lambastes the rest of the movie. He criticizes the large amount of action scenes, the confusing story, and the huge cast. He is especially frustrated by Jean-Claude Van Damme's awful and often incoherent acting. However, he states that there is one funny part, and even decides to show it to the viewers. Introducing: The M. Bison "Of course!" sight gag in response to references to taking over the world; British stereotype.
11	"Street Fighter + Mortal Kombat: The Movie Reviews Part 2"	[11]	07:32	April 16, 2008 (2008-04-16)
The Critic reviews Mortal Kombat (1995, PG-13, New Line Cinema). The Critic claims he knew this movie would be bad the moment he read the "PG-13" rating and realized there would be much less gore than the Mortal Kombat video game. The Critic constantly criticizes Johnny Cage's cheap one-liners, and is baffled when Sonya goes from being very tough in the beginning of the movie and becomes a wimp towards the end. He also states that a lot of characters could have been cool, but they instead talk the whole time, and states that the flow of the movie is "Raiden talks, and people fight". He even makes a joke that Scorpion does not talk because he has a skeleton head, and Sub-Zero does not talk because he is charging an ice beam from his crotch. He however does state that Goro was actually a decent effect (despite it being ruined by him speaking).
12	"Space Jam Review"	[12]	11:16	April 17, 2008 (2008-04-17)
The Critic reviews Space Jam (1996, PG, Warner Bros.). The Critic notes on how this version of the Looney Tunes is just not funny and believes that Michael Jordan was followed around with cameras having no clue that he was even in a movie. He also states that Lola Bunny was just a character they made to use as a sex symbol with no personality (making note that she should not have been marketed as a sex symbol in the first place due to her being a rabbit) and is baffled when Bill Murray makes an appearance in the movie. In similar fashion to how his 'Super Mario Bros.' movie review ended, he finds it very ironic that four people wrote the movie and yet none of them knew what they were writing.
13	"Angry Video Game Nerd Rant"	[13]	02:16	April 18, 2008 (2008-04-18)

14	"Angry Video Game Nerd Rant Part 2"	[14]	04:47	April 19, 2008 (2008-04-19)
After the Angry Video Game Nerd responds to the first rant in a friendly and complementary manner, the Critic attempts to see if there is a hidden meaning in his reply. What follows is a parody centered on the movie π, as Critic enters an obsessive and paranoid state hunting for hidden meanings, with references to several other movies, including The Da Vinci Code, National Treasure and The Number 23. By the time he thinks he's finished, he's discovered that the "secret" message is "TIHS YM KCIL CITIRC AGILATSON". Critic realizes he has wasted all this time on nonsense gibberish and decides to accept the Nerd's apology. Just as he is to concede that Nerd is the better man and honestly seeking peace, he shockingly discovers the message's reflection in the mirror. Remiscent of The Shining, it really states "LICK MY SHIT NOSTALGIA CRITIC", thus his beliefs are proven, and the Critic vows venegance once again upon the Nerd. Introducing: The "Nerd" gag where the Nostalgia Critic points into the air or at the Angry Video Game Nerd and yells "NERD!" in a loud and prolonged matter.
15	"Pokemon The Movie"	[15]	12:45	April 20, 2008 (2008-04-20)
The Critic reviews Pokémon: The First Movie (1998, G, Warner Bros.). He is confounded as the film offers no explanation as to what Pokémon are to non-fans, and uses characters from a violent show to promote non-violence. He also criticizes the moral at the end since, the moral is not to fight, yet all of the characters get their memory wiped at the end, and continue fighting. Includes a moral from Batman. Introducing: The "You know, for kids!" gag, the "apology to certain minority/group" gag. Note: This episode omits the normal opening catchphrase.

17	"The Wizard"	[17]	16:16	May 4, 2008 (2008-05-04)
The Critic reviews The Wizard (1989, PG, Universal). He points out many violent and sexual themes in the movie and develops a faux admiration for the film's antagonist, Lucas Barton. At the end of the review, the Critic decides that none of the actors in the movie could possibly have gone on to have successful careers. When realizing that the majority of them have, he singles out the actor that portrayed Jimmy. Upon further inspection, however, he deduces that the boy grew up to be the Angry Video Game Nerd. Introducing: The Oh Yeah musical gag; the "California" gag Note: This episode omits the normal closing catchphrase. Note 2: The first time the Critic has high-definition video.

The Critic reviews Batman & Robin (1997, PG-13, Warner Bros.). He displays special anger at the presence of the "Bat Credit Card" and finds the movie to be so clichéd that he can predict several lines before they are spoken. He is also unimpressed by Mr. Freeze's ice puns and sarcastically comments on Barbara's lack of a British accent. He even finds the moral at the end of the movie to be pointless, also noting that the icicles used were just inflatables. He ends the review by performing a musical number that parodies Mary Poppins that describes how terrible the movie is. Introducing: The "Ambiguously Gay Duo" musical gag; the Bat Credit Card rage gag. Note: This episode omits the normal closing catchphrase.

The Critic reviews various 80s and 90s sports movies, including: The Mighty Ducks, Little Giants, Little Big League, Angels in the Outfield, Cool Runnings, and The Sandlot. In the beginning the Critic is puzzled about sports movies and tries to wonder why we watch them. He states that they are like old recordings of television games, because we already know what happens in the end, which leads him to solve the mystery of the sports movies. He criticizes most of the sports movies for having similar plots and characters, or even having ridiculous plots like Air Bud. In the end he however states that all sports movies aren't that bad and the reason why we watch them is because we always want to root for the good team.

The Critic reviews Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996). On top of mocking the general premise of the show, the Critic finds the villains to be very repetitive with stereotypical names. The Critic does not find some of the show's plots to be appropriate for children, including the topics of AIDS and gang violence; in the latter case, the random appearances of civil rights leaders are in poor taste with no proper explanation. He also finds that Wheeler is the most annoying character on the show, and finds it very weird that Kwame is always calling on Captain Planet. He is also unimpressed by the fact that one of the main characters has the power of Heart, while in another instance does not understand that the kid with the power of Fire can start fires by simply saying the word "fire". The Critic compares this to him saying "ruler", then getting hit in the head with a ruler. Guest starring: Bhargav Dronamraju as Ma-Ti.

Note: This episode omits the normal opening catchphrase.

The Critic reviews 3 Ninjas (1992, PG, Touchstone Pictures). The Critic comments on the film's blatant attempts to cash in on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Home Alone, the inconsistency in appearance of the character Grandpa Mori, and the stereotypical Ninja enemies.

The Critic reviews Bébé's Kids (SNES) dressed as the Angry Video Game Nerd. He over-analyzes meaningless text and becomes infuriated with the game's repetitive nature. In particular, he gets infuriated at the unforgiving time limits, as well as a certain point of the game where the character must advance by going through a bookcase wherein going through the bookcase on one side takes the player to a different room than if entered through the other side.

The Critic reviews Masters of the Universe (1987, PG, Warner Bros. (formerly Cannon Films). His criticisms include the numerous homoerotic overtones and he compares Skeletor's personality and appearance to John McCain.

Also, in a recurring joke specific to this review he constantly says He-Man and inserts something based on a pointless scene afterwards. Ex. He-Man and the Raiders of the Kentucky Fried Chicken.

The Critic reviews Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1993, G, Warner Bros. (formerly Miramax Films). A huge fan of the cartoon, the Critic becomes upset over the fact Tom and Jerry now talk, the numerous musical numbers and the "hijacking" of the movie by Robyn Starling, an orphan girl who becomes the focus of the story. The Critic also coins the term "mind fuck" for the first time to describe the scene when all the villains are chasing Tom and Jerry.

The Critic also compares the movie's rap songs to rhyming and is unimpresed by the quotes in the rap songs (calling one in particular--"let's green-egg-and-ham it"--the most ridiculous thing he's ever heard). He also compares the scene when Max comes through a cup to tell Kazaam a message to a Warp Zone in Super Mario Bros. At the end of the episode, the Critic wishes Kazaam was never made, which then comes true and he realizes too late that he was mistakenly calling Citizen Kane the worst film ever made.

The Critic salutes Drew Struzan, painter and creator of well-known movie posters. He claims Struzan denied him an interview and recalled this instance during a rare radio interview.

The Critic reviews Double Dragon (1994, PG-13, Gramercy Pictures). The Critic criticizes the film's plot, which does not follow the plot of the game it is based on. He also comments the cheesy villains, dubbing the main villain (played by Robert Patrick) the "Vanilla Ice 1000". He is also extremely baffled when a Double Dragon arcade machine paradoxically appears in the background of one scene, and even states that the destruction of the arcade machine is a perfect visual analogy. However, he is genuinley surprised that the leading female character was killed rather than kidnapped, but found her too underdeveloped to actually care. Introducing: The Critic redubbing scenes that contain stupid dialogue.

The Critic reviews Howard the Duck (1986, PG, Universal) he finds the film's main problem to be that it was too dark, violent, and sexual for a PG rating. He showed special disdain for the love interest. Introducing: The DuckTits gag
49	"Mortal Kombat: Annihilation"	[49]	21:28	November 17, 2008 (2008-11-17)
The Critic reviews Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997, PG-13, New Line Cinema). He criticizes film's plot as just exposition, the poor special effects and the presence of characters who had died in the original film. The Critic is, however, rather pleased when Johnny Cage dies in the beginning of the movie. The Critic makes fun of the main villain Khan's name by using a scene from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan where James T. Kirk screams 'KHAN!!'. The Critic is also impressed by the scenes of girls fighting each other in mud. He also compares Raiden's fight with the ninjas to ballet and states that the monster that attacks Sonya and Jax in the desert is Bowser's anorexic sister. Introducing: The "I'm acting!" gag. Cameos: Douglas Walker as Chester A. Bum and That Guy with the Glasses, Bhargav Dromramraju and Robert Walker. Note: The episode starts with the Critic mourning the loss of his beard after a bet with That Guy with the Glasses (he actually did it for his spoof of the Joker thinking up explanations, for his scars).
50	"Godzilla"	[50]	22:15	November 24, 2008 (2008-11-24)
The Critic reviews Godzilla (1998, PG-13, Sony Pictures). He finds that several scenes are very similar to scenes in such films as Jurassic Park and Star Wars. He is also unimpressed by Matthew Broderick's "that's a lot of fish" and constantly references it in the review afterwards (he also makes fun of Broderick's character's name, Tatapulos). He is even believes that the movie is just a Simpsons reunion due to the appearance of three cast members from the show and believes that the constant change in location was caused due to the crew getting kicked out of every location. He also says in the intro that he was not a fan of the film's director, Roland Emmerich, also expressing his thoughts on some of his other movies as well. Introducing: the JOKE ABORTED gag. Note: This is one of the few episodes where the Critic has his face shaved.

Note 2: The Critic later said in episode 121, "Top 11 Villain Songs," that if he compiled the Disney villain list at a later time, Dr. Facillier from The Princess and the Frog (2009, G) would have earned a spot.
52	"Super Mario Brothers Super Show"	[52]	15:36	December 16, 2008 (2008-12-16)
The Critic reviews Super Mario Brothers Super Show (1989) and The Legend of Zelda (1989). Regarding Mario, the Critic comments that the stories are inconsistent, most of which being just bad parodies of popular films. He also criticizes much of the dialogue for just being puns based on Italian food. He also despises the fact that one minor character on the show, Indiana Joe, was animated without any facial features; the Critic just sees it as cheapness. Regarding The Legend of Zelda, he criticizes its blandness and its portrayal of Link as smart-allecky and perverted, and also the dysfunctional relationship between Link and Zelda.

The Critic reviews Jingle All the Way (1996, PG, 20th Century Fox). In addition to mocking the actors, the Critic criticizes the absurd and overly manic situations of the movie, especially the climax, and the seemingly materialistic message of the film. He insists that, by the parade scene at the end of the movie, the makers of the film simply gave up. Introducing: The "Put that cookie down" line gag, whenever Arnold Schwarzenegger makes an appearance; complaining about his Christmas presents. Note: His closing catchphrase is changed to "I'm ripped, roared and pissed! I remember it so you don't have to!"

2009 episodes

The first four episodes of 2009 were part of a linked set of reviews called "Nickelodeon Month" - all of which related to the programs from the Nickelodeon TV channel. Episode 60 is the first to be filmed in widescreen, which became standard thereafter. A new episode format was added with Episode 87, Old VS. New, in which two versions of the same intellectual property are compared and rated against each other. The year 2009 featured more crossovers with other Channel Awesome video producers than in the previous year, as well as a continuation of the established mock feud with James D. Rolfe (The Angry Video Game Nerd).

Episode 73 caused some controversy when Douglas Walker insulted the actor Mako (the voice of Splinter). This was addressed in episode 74, Episode 81 and Episode 93.

#	Title	Link	Length	Release date
55	"Nicktoons"	[55]	16:45	January 6, 2009 (2009-01-06)
The Critic reviews Ren and Stimpy (1991–1996), Rugrats (1991–2004), Doug (1991–1999), Rocko's Modern Life (1993–1996), AAAHH!!! Real Monsters (1994–1999), Hey Arnold (1996–2004). Of these, the only show he shows any true hatred for is Doug, which apparently caused him trauma as a child due to his real name being Doug (which apparently lead to his classmates making fun of him). Introducing: The love/hate Gollum impression gag; the "Adventure Ho!" gag; "Nickelodeon Month"; the "It's January!" gag.
56	"Nickcoms"	[56]	18:42	January 13, 2009 (2009-01-13)
The Critic reviews You Can't Do That on Television (1979–1990), Clarissa Explains it All (1991–1994), Hey Dude (1989–1991), Salute your Shorts (1991–1992), The Adventures of Pete and Pete (1993–1996). With the exception of Pete and Pete, he mostly finds the Nickcoms to be a bit bland and not funny to the point of standing out. Introducing: The Elephant/Burger King gag. Guest starring: Rob Walker as the Joe, the Nostalgia Critic's lifeline.
57	"SNICK"	[57]	17:15	January 20, 2009 (2009-01-20)
The Critic reviews Roundhouse (1992–1996), Are You Afraid of the Dark? (1990–2000), All That (1994–2005), Prometheus and Bob (1996–2000), Action League Now! (1995–2002), Kenan & Kel (1996–2000), Kenan & Kel: Two Heads Are Better Than None (2000). He finds all of them have flaws, but only Roundhouse proved completely unsatisfying. He also gives special acknowledgment to the irony of Coolio performing the opening theme to Kenan & Kel, despite having once refused permission to Weird Al Yankovic to parody Gangsta's Paradise, due to the song being "too serious". Concluding: Nickelodeon Month
58	"Good Burger"	[58]	20:48	January 27, 2009 (2009-01-27)
The Critic reviews Good Burger (1997, PG, Paramount). Not only does he think the movie as a whole is bad, but he believes that the scene where Ed shoves grapes up his nose and shouts/sings "Bloopity, bloopity, bloopity, bloopity" for almost a minute is, in actuality, Dante's 11th Level of Hell, left out of the Divine Comedy for being too scary. He even believes that Abe Vigoda, a well-respected celebrity from The Godfather, simply walked onto the set. He compares the chase scene at the end of the movie to The Benny Hill Show and compares Kurt Bozwell, the owner of Mondo Burger, to Adolf Hitler. Note: This review was originally going to be a video discussing Nick's game shows, but since Douglas Walker could not find any high quality footage of those shows other than Double Dare, which already had a whole episode dedicated to it, he reviewed Good Burger instead.
59	"The Making of the Final Battle"	[59]	08:24	January 30, 2009 (2009-01-30)
The making of the Nostalgia Critic vs. The Angry Video Game Nerd Battle. Guest starring: James D. Rolfe as the Angry Video Game Nerd.
60	"FernGully: The Last Rainforest"	[60]	16:41	February 3, 2009 (2009-02-03)
The Critic and Nostalgia Chick review FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992, G, 20th Century Fox). They comment about the film's preachy attitude, uninspired characters, and some scientific and geographical inaccuracies. Introducing: The Big-Lipped Alligator Moment. Guest starring: Lindsay Ellis as the Nostalgia Chick. Note: The first episode filmed in widescreen.
61	"A Kid in King Arthur's Court"	[61]	20:55	February 10, 2009 (2009-02-10)
The Critic reviews A Kid in King Arthur's Court (1995, PG, Walt Disney Pictures). He criticizes the absurd situations, amateur filmmaking techniques and historical/mythological inaccuracies. He also constantly mentions the main character's fear of baseballs, and is impressed by the appearance of lesbian sex, but becomes enraged when the film quickly cuts to something else. He also refers to Kate Winslet and Daniel Craig as the only actors who had careers at the end of the movie. Note: This episode omits the normal closing catchphase, instead saying, "I'm The Nostalgia Critic, I remember it so you don't Blue's Clues", due to the fact that the Critic keeps hitting himself, in the head, with a book, to try to knock out any memory of the film. Note 2: The word "owned", in the disclaimer, is misspelled, to say "oqned", obviously a ploy to what was stated previously.
62	"The Good Son"	[62]	16:24	February 13, 2009 (2009-02-13)
The Critic reviews The Good Son (1993, R, 20th Century Fox). Using cue cards and subtitles, his chief complaint is the unrealistic characters and plot, particularly the character played by Macaulay Culkin and the fact that the adults are too stupid to see that Culkin's character is evil; he especially shows utter shock when Culkin says "Don't fuck with me". Introducing: The Evil Laugh gag. Note 1: This review was actually scheduled for December 9, 2008 but it was delayed to February 13, 2009 because Walker lost his voice (the episode is silent as a result) and out of respect for the Culkin family who had lost their oldest daughter. Note 2: The Critic's first review of an R-rated film.
63	"Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog"	[63]	18:06	February 17, 2009 (2009-02-17)
The Critic reviews Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (1993), and Sonic the Hedgehog (1993–1994). He criticizes the former as nothing more than pure "bullshit", comparing it to The Ludovico Technique from A Clockwork Orange. The Critic is baffled when it was revealed that Sonic enjoys chili dogs. After dismissing Adventures of Sonic, he praises the Saturday morning version for giving effort, having better animation, a better plot, and complex character development that the other didn't, not to mention an environmental message with rare subtlety that the game series is known for. He especially praises the last episode for being so good, but shows frustration toward it for being a cliffhanger (the show would be canceled before this plot thread could be resolved). Before ending the review, he declares Sonic the Hedgehog as the #12 pick (an honorable mention) in the Top 11 Nostalgic Animated Shows from the previous year. Note: This episode omits the normal opening catchphrase.
64	"Top 11 Nostalgic Mindfucks"	[64]	17:59	February 24, 2009 (2009-02-24)
11. Toontown from Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988, PG, Touchstone) 10. Cool World (1992, PG-13, Paramount) 9. Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp (1991) 8. The Paraphernalia Wagon from Halloween is Grinch Night (1977) 7. Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure (1977, G, 20th Century Fox) 6. The opening to Beetlejuice (1989–1991) 5. The hallucination scene from Beavis & Butthead Do America (1996, PG-13, Paramount) 4. The tunnel scene from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971, G, Warner Bros.) 3. "This is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993, PG, Touchstone) 2. "Pink Elephants on Parade" from Dumbo (1941, G, Walt Disney Pictures) 1. The opening to Pee-Wee's Playhouse (1986–1990) Note: This episode omits the usual "Why Top 11?" catchphrase. The list is not conventionally numbered in any case.
65	"Twister"	[65]	23:54	March 3, 2009 (2009-03-03)
The Critic reviews Twister (1996, PG-13, Warner Bros.). He criticizes the film's scientific inaccuracy, including the odd behaviour of the tornadoes (which usually seem to follow the main characters and disappear after encountering them, as well as appearing to roar); he believes it was only a hit due to the special effects.
66	"The Garbage Pail Kids Movie"	[66]	25:05	March 10, 2009 (2009-03-10)
The Critic reviews The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987, PG, MGM). He absolutely lambastes the film, claiming that it is the worst movie he has ever reviewed since it is the only movie he has ever seen that has absolutely no redeeming factors to it whatsoever. He criticizes the poor puppetry of the Garbage Pail Kids, and is baffled by the admiration by Tangerine (a young adult) for the main character (Dodger, who is a young teenager) and why the gang of teens is constantly picking on him. He states that the names of some cast of characters were taken straight from a grocery list. He also believes that they just left the camera on in the scene where they have a weenie roast. He is baffled by the movie's advertising of Pepsi, people going to see a Three Stooges short in movie theater in the 80's, the State Home for the Ugly subplot, and an especially dreadful musical number. Note: This episode omits the normal opening catchphrase. He also sings the ending catchphrase. This episode ends with a parody on the closing of 2001: A Space Odyssey with the DVD of the movie taking the place of The Monolith. Introducing: Title artwork visible before the video is played. This was continued from Rock-a-Doodle onwards.
67	"Rock-A-Doodle"	[67]	18:48	March 17, 2009 (2009-03-17)
The Critic reviews Rock-a-Doodle (1991, G, Samuel Goldwyn Films). He marks this as the start of Don Bluth's decline in animated films. He also states that the movie's script was probably written during a game of Mad Libs and that the main characters have numerous chances to die, but never do. He also shows disdain for the voice-acting of the main actor.
68	"Titanic: The Animated Movie"	[68]	21:25	March 24, 2009 (2009-03-24)
The Critic reviews Titanic: The Legend Goes On (2001). He first confirms that the film is in fact real, even the segments with the rapping dog. Among the poor quality and taste of the film, he criticizes the historical inaccuracies and the blatant ripping off of the plot of the blockbuster Titanic. Special mention is made of the closing line "Here's hoping they'll all live happily ever after." Note: The release dates for Titanic: The Legend Goes On and Rock-A-Doodle were swapped because of the time taken to acquire a copy of the former.
69	"The Pagemaster"	[69]	20:00	March 31, 2009 (2009-03-31)
The Critic reviews The Pagemaster (1994, G, 20th Century Fox). He finds it to be dull and forgettable with poorly developed characters, and that it may prevent children from reading rather than encourage them. However, he does praise the film's animation and that it tried to encourage kids to read. Introducing: The "Zuul, motherfucker, Zuul!" gag.
70	"The NeverEnding Story"	[70]	03:21	April 1, 2009 (2009-04-01)
An April Fool's Day episode. Chester A. Bum, another character performed by Douglas Walker, reviews The NeverEnding Story (1984, PG, Warner Bros.). While Chester A. Bum praises the film, he critizes the 90-minute length of the film; he claims that the film should be "neverending", as the title of the movie states.
71	"Moonwalker"	[71]	20:22	April 7, 2009 (2009-04-07)
The Critic reviews Moonwalker (1988, Unrated, Warner Bros.). The Critic finds the movie to be nothing more than a massive ego-trip for Michael Jackson, and ridicules the often nonsensical segments of the film. The Critic admitted that the "Smooth Criminal" segment is the best Michael Jackson video in terms of direction and choreography. He concludes that it would have been better as a music video, rather than a feature-length film. He also compares the villain's voice to Yosemite Sam and his laser gun to Marvin the Martian. He also compares Michael Jackson's robot form to a Transformer referring to him as Poptimus Prime, and his fighting style to G.I. Joe. The Critic also believes that when Michael Jackson comes back at the end of the movie it was because he didn't want to be out of the movie for more than 2 seconds. He also believes that beginning of the movie is just there so Michael Jackson could get more attention. Introducing: The "Drat! I've been foiled by The Power Of Love!" gag. Note: The episode was released two months before the death of Michael Jackson on June 25th.
72	"Top 11 Dumbest Superman Moments"	[72]	16:40	April 14, 2009 (2009-04-14)

73	"TMNT"	[73]	20:03	April 21, 2009 (2009-04-21)
The Critic reviews TMNT (2007, PG, Warner Bros.), after many requests by the fans. He notes that TMNT is not bad, let alone horrible, and even praises the movie's CGI animation. However, he finds that the story is much too complicated when compared to the previous films, the characters aren't fully developed and the film gives next to no insight into the backstory. He even criticizes the film's version of Splinter comparing his appearance to that of a Kung Fu Panda character and his voice to Mr. Miyagi if he smoked a million Marlboros. He even compares the introduction and ending fight sequences to video game cutscenes. Note: This episode caused controversy due to the Critic insulting Mako.
74	"Red Sonja"	[74]	21:43	May 5, 2009 (2009-05-05)
The Critic reviews Red Sonja (1985, PG-13, MGM). He criticizes both Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger's performances as lackluster. He also notes that the film doesn't have a well developed story. He concludes that although it is not the worst Schwarzenegger film, it is still a bad film. Note: Before the review, the Critic apologized for making fun of Mako in the previous episode. Introducing: The boner finger .
75	"TGWTG Team Brawl" "1st Anniversary Video"	[75]	20:13	May 10, 2009 (2009-05-10)

76	"Short Circuit 1 and 2"	[76]	27:21	May 12, 2009 (2009-05-12)
The Critic reviews Short Circuit (1986, PG, Sony Pictures) and Short Circuit 2 (1988, PG, Sony Pictures). He concludes that while they technically are bad movies, both Johnny 5 and Benjamin are likable characters, and he calls the films "a guilty pleasure". He however believes that the character of Benjamin is racist because his actor is a white man yet the character is Indian. Note: This is the longest episode of the show that Walker has yet posted.
77	"Old vs. New: Batman vs The Dark Knight"	[77]	14:25	May 19, 2009 (2009-05-19)
The Critic compares Batman (1989, PG-13, Warner Bros.) with The Dark Knight (2008, PG-13, Warner Bros.). Batman: Michael Keaton (original) wins Joker: Heath Ledger (remake) wins Supporting cast: the original wins Action scenes: the remake wins Story: the original wins The original wins 3-2.
78	"Full House"	[78]	18:33	May 26, 2009 (2009-05-26)

Cameos: Lewis Lovhaug as Linkara, Benjamin Daniel as Benzaie, Krissy Diggs as That Chick with the Goggles, and Joey Vargas as AngryJoe. Note 1: This episode omits both the opening and (part of) the closing catchphrases. Note 2: This episode marks the return of the M. Bison "Of Course!" gag.
79	"North"	[79]	23:16	June 2, 2009 (2009-06-02)
The Critic reviews North (1994, PG, Sony Pictures). He criticizes the random musical number, that the ethnicities the main character visits are extremely stereotypical and racist, the numerous guest stars, the awful jokes, and the overall ridiculous scenario. He holds particular disdain for the ending, in which it was all a dream.
80	"Critic and Nerd: TMNT Making of Coming Out of Their Shells" "Doug and James Joint Review"	[80]	18:14	June 9, 2009 (2009-06-09)
The Critic and Angry Video Game Nerd review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Making of the Coming Out of Their Shells Tour (1990, Unrated, Goodtimes Home Video). Both the Nerd and the Critic agree that this documentary about a TMNT rock band is even worse than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3. They are also baffled that the documentary portrays the Turtles as actual people, rather than the fictional characters they are, and criticize the poor costuming and animatronics. Guest starring: James D. Rolfe as the Angry Video Game Nerd Note: Originally titled "Doug and James Joint Review" prior to release.
81	"Sidekicks"	[81]	24:35	June 16, 2009 (2009-06-16)
The Critic reviews Sidekicks (1992, PG, Sony Pictures). His main complaint is that the vast majority of the movie is a self-indulgent plug for the director's brother Chuck Norris. He also spent the review refraining from making jokes about Mako's portrayal of Mr. Lee in the movie, ending each avoided joke with incredibly nervous praise. Introducing: "Chuck Norris" musical gag, Mako worshiping gag. Note 1: The closing catchprase is cut off by Chuck Norris smiting the Critic for exclaiming that none of his buildup is true. Note 2: Coincidentally released on the 58th birthday of Joe Piscopo, who portrayed the antagonist in the film.
82	"Gargoyles"	[82]	15:38	June 23, 2009 (2009-06-23)

84	"Steel"	[84]	20:36	June 30, 2009 (2009-06-30)
The Critic reviews Steel (1997, PG-13, Warner Bros.). He criticizes the wooden acting of Shaquille O'Neal, who rarely conveys any emotion, and laughs at his steel suit that was obviously made of rubber. He also comments on the film's dialog for stealing from other films, but he said if it didn't the dialog would be worse than it is. He also states that wheelchair bound sidekick Sparks would have made a better superhero than Steel himself, considering Steel the worst superhero ever due to his tendency to get shot and fall down.
85	"Top 11 Cereal Mascots"	[85]	20:56	July 7, 2009 (2009-07-07)

86	"Barb Wire"	[86]	21:37	July 14, 2009 (2009-07-14)
The Critic reviews Barb Wire (1996, R, Gramercy Pictures). The Critic claims this film was made solely for Pamela Anderson's figure, points out several of the movie's blatant sexual overtones, and concludes that the movie was basically a ripoff of Casablanca. He criticizes the dialogue as bland and the characters as hard to like, although he concedes that the final action set piece is creative. Note 1: In this episode, the opening catchphrase is changed to, "Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't boobies." Note 2: This episode features a variation on the M. Bison "Of Course!" gag, in which the clip appears after the Critic calls one of the evil characters "M. Bison's twin brother." Cameo: Chester A. Bum

The Critic reviews Last Action Hero (1993, PG-13, Sony Pictures). He criticizes the amount of dialogue compared to the action, finds the senseless celebrity cameos, and the lack of realism in the movie's "real world" segment. He states that the movie did have some good ideas with poking fun at action movie cliches but failed to use them right. He concludes, however, that the film has several funny jokes, and the action scenes are quite decent; despite this, he still thinks that the movie is bad. Note 1: This video was originally scheduled for December 30, 2008, but Walker decided while reorganizing his schedule under laryngitis that Jingle All the Way would be more interesting to review for that time. Note 2: An incorrect version of the episode, in which the Critic confused Art Carney with Robert Prosky, was initially released. It was later replaced with the correct, redubbed version.
89	"Captain N: The Game Master"	[89]	17:42	August 4, 2009 (2009-08-04)
The Critic reviews Captain N: The Game Master (1989–1991). He finds the show's characters to be irritating, undeveloped and barely resembling their video game designs.

He even states that if you hear the title while you aren't reading it, it sounds like "Captain N: The Gay Master". Cameo: Douglas Walker as Dominic.

The Critic reviews We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story (1993, G, Universal). He comments that the movie is almost completely illogical, the frantic sequences are confusing and irksome and that some of the visuals would be frightening to children. He refers to it as a "Big-Lipped Alligator Movie" in reference to one of the series' running gags. Note: This episode is not presented by the Nostalgia Critic character. Douglas Walker instead plays "Raoul Puke, creator of Fozzie journalism" in the style of Hunter S. Thompson.
91	"Warriors of Virtue"	[91]	22:47	August 18, 2009 (2009-08-18)
The Critic reviews Warriors of Virtue (1997, PG, MGM). He criticizes the film's dullness, excessive dialogue scenes at the expense of action, constant mispronounciation of the word "Tao" and blurred photography when action does take place. The only thing he does find positive about the film is the over-the-top performance of Angus MacFadyen, playing the villain Komodo. Introducing: The "It's a trap!" gag. Cameo: Lewis Lovhaug as Linkara.
92	"Captain America"	[92]	18:45	August 25, 2009 (2009-08-25)
The Critic reviews Captain America (1990, PG-13, 21st Century Film Corporation). He finds Captain America a bad hero because he is always hiding, running away, or getting beaten. He criticizes the film for having a boring story and looking like it was made in the 1970s rather than the 1990s. He even is baffled about one of the characters pretending to shake someone's hand and instead, kill that person while shouting "Heil Hitler!", which he calls "The Psyche Hitler", and the fact that Red Skull goes from having a red face to having a human face.
93	"Top 11 Nostalgia Critic Fuckups"	[93]	17:23	September 1, 2009 (2009-09-01)

(though he does defend his statement, he admits he could have explained it better) 6. Referring to the forklift in Barb Wire as a bulldozer. 5.

The Critic, Spoony and Linkara review Alone in the Dark (2005, R, Lionsgate Films). They criticize the film for its horrible performances, plot holes, nonsensical story and for bearing no resemblance to the video game on which it was based.

Guest starring: Noah Antwiler as Spoony. Lewis Lovhaug as Linkara. Cameos: Douglas Walker as Chester A. Bum, Noah Antwiler as Doctor Insano, Lewis Lovhaug as '90s Kid and Bhargav Dronamraju as Ma-Ti. Note 1: This episode was originally titled "Special Top Secret Review". Note 2: Douglas Walker lost his voice prior to filming and used a text-to-speech computer program to deliver his dialogue. This is due to a throat infection or related illness that Doug came down with as mentioned by Noah. As Chester A. Bum spoke in Doug's own voice, the audio there was from archive footage. Note 3: This episode features a variation of the "Zuul, motherfucker, Zuul!" running gag, changed by adding some shouts of pain due to "Zuul" being shot and ending it with "You A-hole!".
95	"Blank Check"	[95]	19:58	September 15, 2009 (2009-09-15)
The Critic reviews Blank Check (1994, PG, Walt Disney Pictures). He criticizes the film for being a prime example of "Bland Shit 101" for taking an idea with a lot of potential and developing it into something dull and unoriginal. Note 1: He says during the episode that he is personally proud to be the first person to make a Michael Jackson-related joke since he died, and that we will all miss him. Note 2: Prior to filming the episode, Doug's original voice was restored thanks to his throat infection (as mentioned in Noah's commentary of Alone In The Dark) being cured some time after the review of Alone In The Dark.

He also makes notice of how the school security system is over-the-top, including the prom scene in which they literally bungie-jump from the gym.

Along with Linkara he criticizes Superman's offer to rid the Earth of nuclear weapons without any of the world leaders opposing him.

They also criticize Lex Luthor's evil plot to create Nuclear Man from a strand of Superman's hair. It ends with Linkara saying the traditional closing phrase as the Critic has gone into a violent rage over the mention of the 'Bat-credit card.' Guest starring: Lewis Lovhaug as Linkara.

The Critic pays tribute to two of the most loved television movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, as well as discussing the show after Siskel's unfortunate death, the Richard Roeper era, claiming that the two Bens were douche bags, and the show as it is now with Michael Phillips and A.O.

The Critic reviews Judge Dredd (1995, R, Hollywood Pictures).

The Critic reviews The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978, Unrated). The episode opens with the Critic attempting to escape his home so that he wouldn't have to review the holiday special. He criticizes the fact that the Holiday Special is not really about Christmas, and is more about 'Life Day', a Wookiee holiday within the Star Wars Universe that is never explain nor given and history. He also goes on to attack the film for not featuring enough of the main cast, mostly relying on a Wookiee family and cameo appearances. The Critic also disdains the amount of fillers used to avoid the main story, but seems to enjoy a segment featuring Beatrice Arthur and with his own opinion feels that the special should have been about her. He also remarks that the animation in the animated segment was similar to that of the Zelda CD-i games. All in all, the Critic described it as the worst Christmas special ever.

This episode also gained controversy after a comment Doug made about Autism. The joke was later cut out of the episode. Introducing: Avatar's Special effects > Story gag.

2010 episodes

The first month of 2010 episodes involved "Schwarzenegger Month" during which the NC reviewed further bad Arnold Schwarzenegger films. After that, a special "100th Episode" was aired with more episodes following that.

#	Title	Link	Length	Release date
112	"Commando"	[112]	22:19	January 5, 2010 (2010-01-05)
The Critic reviews Commando (1985, R, 20th Century Fox). The Critic states that he loves the movie, but considers it overtly stupid, with numerous clichés, implausible situations, and bad one-liners. Special criticism is reserved to the film's soundtrack by James Horner, which he feels is out of place. He concludes that the film is like 'a testosterone sandwich wrapped in steroids'. Introducing: Schwarzenegger Month
113	"Junior"	[113]	18:51	January 12, 2010 (2010-01-12)
The Critic reviews Junior (1994, PG-13, Universal). The Critic states how boring (with a dream sequence having a song describing the boringness of it) and unfunny the movie is (except for the scene mentioning Aerosmith, and the sequence where Arnold dresses as a woman to enter a home for expecting mothers), and how it tries to take itself seriously despite the plot (even mentioning that this should be the film in all of Arnold's attempted comedies where drama should not be). He also shows fear and disgust towards the scene in which Arnold dreams of his child (which is a newborn baby with Arnold's face superimposed onto it with CGI), which causes the Critic to go through 20 hours of marathon projectile vomiting. Note: This episode omits The Critic's closing catchphrase, as he is quickly disgusted by Arnold's dream child. Guest Starring: Bhargav Dronamraju as The Nurse/Evil Judge and Rob Walker as The Doctor.
114	"Conan Part 01"	[114]	15:58	January 19, 2010 (2010-01-19)
The Critic reviews Conan The Barbarian (1982, R, Universal). He states that the movie is silly, but he enjoys it for its epic feel, with memorable characters, good cinematography and excellent music by Basil Poledouris. Note: The opening catchphrase parodies "the great and powerful Mako". The Critic does it in order to avoid receiving hateful comments from users who are familiar with Mako's work.
115	"Conan Part 02"	[115]	13:48	January 21, 2010 (2010-01-21)
The Critic reviews Conan The Destroyer (1984, PG, Universal). He treats Destroyer more harshly, saying that it is overtly stupid and boring at times. Note 1: The opening catchphrase parodies "the great and powerful Mako". He does not say his closing catchphrase, instead parodying the closing narration of Conan by setting up the next episode ("But how will Conan stand against the army of darkness, Satan himself at the End of Days?"). Note 2: One of the few episodes that breaks the weekly episode format of the Nostalgia Critic as it was a two part episode. Was released two days after the Conan Part 1 review.
116	"Turtles Forever Review"	[116]	04:12	January 25, 2010 (2010-01-25)
As himself, Doug Walker gives his opinion on Turtles Forever (2009, Unrated). Despite not having seen the more recent series, Doug praises the special's animation, story and character interaction. He recommends the movie for all fans of TMNT. The only problems he had was the new turtles constantly using the line "What the Shell?" and not reuniting the original voice actors from the 1987 series. For the latter, 4Kids Entertainment is a non-union corporation and cannot negotiate deals with the original voice actors. Note: The special was in consideration to be reviewed in the 100th episode, due to the requests Doug Walker received, but decided to review it as himself because "it was really good".
117	"End of Days"	[117]	20:19	January 26, 2010 (2010-01-26)
The Critic reviews End of Days (1999, R, Universal). The Critic describes that a premise of Arnold battling the devil could have been a potentially great movie, but the makers completely blew it. He emphasizes the plethora of plot holes, lackluster action, lack of horror, and how Satan should have used his powers more effectively. Note: He omits the closing catchphrase to promote his 100th episode. Guest Starring: Rob Walker as "Santa Christ" Cameo: Douglas Walker as Chester A. Bum Introducing: "Hello, Goodbye" Gag. The "CAT!" Gag. Concluding: Schwarzenegger Month

The Critic reviews Battlefield Earth (2000, PG-13, Warner Bros.). In the beginning the Critic announces that he will be doing a clip show for his 100th episode first using a clip from his Captain Planet review. He uses the scene when he interviews Ma-Ti, however Ma-Ti and the Critic of the past then convince the Critic of the present to review Battlefield Earth, for which Nostalgia Critic got a lot of requests to do but always refuses. He criticizes the movie for having a plot similar to a kindergarten fan fiction, the constant use of angled camera shots, over-the-top goofy acting, the sheer stupidity of the alien race in the movie, and goes insane when he finds out that the alien planet has a radioactive atmosphere and has never gotten destroyed in the first place. Also, throughout the review the Critic constantly makes contact with Terl the alien leader from the movie to discuss the stupidity of the alien race and hammy acting with him. At the end of the review, Terl says that his homeworld is about to explode and is killed before he can finish his overly dramatic dying words. The Critic coldly says he will not miss him. Note: He omits the closing catchphrase, The opening line is present but instead of the Critic decides to use footage from an old review. Guest Starring: Bhargav Dronamraju as Ma-Ti and Noah Antwiler as Terl Cameo: Douglas Walker as the Classic Nostalgia Critic Introducing: The "Channel Awesome" logo tag accompanied by the worst line from the reviewed feature. The "Ricola" gag. Channel Awesome Tag: John Travolta as Terl: "While you were still learning how to SPELL your name!"

The Critic reviews Bébé's Kids (1992, PG-13, Paramount). Though giving the movie credit for its use of colors and being a different movie for its time, he criticizes the pointless moments, ignoring its own plot, constant rap music that seems too improvised and Robin Harris being portrayed as a poor father figure. The Critic also notes the appearance of Tone Lōc in the film and has trouble pronouncing his name properly. Several That Guy With the Glasses contributors appear, and they also attempt to pronounce the actor's name. Note: Prior to this review Doug Walker, during the Nostalgia Critic/Angry Video Game Nerd feud, reviewed the video game based on the movie.

The Critic reviews Lost In Space (1998, PG-13, New Line Cinema). He claims that the film is worse than the original television series (which he also hates) and criticizes the plot, dialogue and characters, and adds special criticism to William Hurt and Matt LeBlanc's acting. He's especially disgusted by the fact that the obviously evil Dr. Smith is continuously trusted by the others. He says the film is as bad as Batman and Robin (coincidentally, both films were written by Akiva Goldsman). Note: He omits both opening and closing catchphrases; it opens with the Critic hiding in the bathroom, and in the ending, Dr. Smith shoots the Critic and says "I'm Dr. Smith! I remember it because I'm evil! You're doomed, doomed!". Cameos: Douglas Walker as Spider-Smith and Noah Antwiler as Terl. Channel Awesome Tag: William Hurt as Professor John Robinson: "I love you, wife."

122	"Quest For Camelot"	[122]	21:52	March 2, 2010 (2010-03-02)
The Critic reviews Quest For Camelot (1998, G, Warner Bros.). He criticizes the film for lacking any true connection to the Arthurian Legend, along with the constant ripping-off of Disney films, songs that do not fit the scenes they are used in (At one point comparing the first song to theme from Captain Planet and the Planeteers, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and Mickey Mouse Club) and having no explanation for many scenes (which he gets progressively angry about, eventually causing two nuclear explosions). He is also shocked to learn that this film introduced us to the famous song "The Prayer". Contrasting from the previous episode, Doug finds the villain's song awful and sounding too improvised. Following the review, he tries to get an answer from Disney-icon Mary Poppins as to why this movie is horrible, but instead accidentally shoots her, Dick Van Dyke's character Bert the chimney sweep (from the same movie), and even Mickey Mouse by accident and due to his frustration. Cameos: Douglas Walker as Spider-Smith. Channel Awesome Tag: Gary Oldman as Ruber: "The ogre's butt!"
123	"Old vs New - The Nutty Professor"	[123]	17:20	March 9, 2010 (2010-03-09)
The Critic compares The Nutty Professor (1963, Unrated, Paramount) and The Nutty Professor (1996, PG-13, Universal). Story: Murphy version wins. Supporting characters: Lewis version wins. Main lead: Murphy version wins. Murphy version wins 2-1 He says that, even though he loves both versions, he just barely enjoys the newer version more. He says that it just seemed to be more believable, mostly due to it having a more cohesive feel to its story and jokes, and the newer version's take on Buddy Love being more believable as a charismatic character than the older version is. He ends by talking to Peppermint Patty's parents and keeps complaining that he cannot understand a word they are saying (since, in Peanuts shorts, the parents only spoke, off screen, in horn beeps). Cameos: Benjamin Daniel as Benzaie. Channel Awesome Tag: Eddie Murphy as Anna Pearl Jensen Klump: "HERCULES HERCULES HERCULES!"
124	"Bio-Dome"	[124]	16:57	March 16, 2010 (2010-03-16)
The Critic reviews Bio-Dome (1996, PG-13, MGM). He criticizes that the movie has no humor and simply just uses slapstick comedy (that is not entertaining). He criticizes Stephen Baldwin's and Pauly Shore's acting (especially the latter, whom he refers to as the "devil's pubic hair") to be completely absurd and have no entertainment value in them. Furthermore, he adds that the story has no meaning and that none of the actors have any talent. He is overjoyed when Jack Black and Kyle Gass make an appearance as Tenacious D, thinking that they are finally going to infuse some real comedy into the movie, only to be angered when their cameo is cut short in order to show more of Shore and Baldwin. He ends by destroying the DVD out of anger and frustration the same way he destroyed his SNES copy of Bebe's Kids. Notes: The episode starts with text about Bio-Dome originally supposed to be a third Bill and Ted movie that got switched at the last minute, and that that information would not help the movie anyway. He changes his opening cathphrase to "Hello I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it, I fucking hate Bio-Dome. I fucking hate Bio-Dome. I fucking hate it. I hate it. I HATE IT!" then screaming before getting splashed with water. He manages to get Christopher Lloyd to say the catchphrase: "I was frozen today!" A behind-the-scenes video of Doug meeting Lloyd at a Back to the Future convention is available in the website's Premium Area. Cameos: Lewis Lovhaug as '90s Kid, and Christopher Lloyd as himself. Channel Awesome Tag: Joey Lauren Adams as Monique: "Bullshit!"
125	"The Neverending Story II: The Next Chapter"	[125]	19:25	March 23, 2010 (2010-03-23)
The Critic reviews The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter (1990, PG, Warner Bros.). Towards the start of the video, An Elephant in the Room points out to the Critic that Jonathan Brandis, who played Bastian in this movie, committed suicide in 2003, in a possible attempt to avoid a repeat of the Mako saga from the TMNT review. He criticized the plot for being a heartless and dumbed-down rehash of the first movie, which is one of his favorite family films. He is annoyed at how Bastian is given the power to wish for anything he wants, but only uses it once in the movie, to obtain a spray can, rather than wishing for a villain to go away. He ends with the review playing The Neverending Story theme over a crowd yelling there is a Neverending Story III because The Critic believes (or rather wants) this film to be the last one. Note:The "Elephant/Burger King" gag returns in this episode, although Walker had previously said it would be discontinued. Guest Starring: Bhargav Dronamraju as Ma-Ti, and Doug Walker as the voice of the Elephant in the room that informs the Critic about Brandis' suicide in 2003 (Even though the Critic already knew, but didn't want to bring it up). Channel Awesome Tag: Jonathan Brandis as Bastian Bux: "A spray can!"

The Critic lists the top 11 most awkward moments involving actor Christopher Walken. 11. Death threat from Joe Dirt (2001, PG-13, Sony Pictures) 10. The scene where he talks about pie from Gigli (2003, R, Sony Pictures) 9. His performance in Ripper (1996, M) 8. The Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow (1999, R, Paramount) 7.

127	"Flubber"	[127]	17:26	April 6, 2010 (2010-04-06)
The Critic reviews Flubber (1997, PG, Walt Disney Pictures). He opens his review by commenting about the fact that Robin Williams generally chooses material that does not do him justice. His main criticisms involves Brainard's inability to commit to his fiancée, the fact that Brainiard does not immediately sell his inventions to make money and save the college, the subplot involving Weebo's feelings toward her creator (which he considers creepy), a pointless dance sequence involving Flubber and the overuse of slapstick humor. However, he admires the fact that the main antagonist does not even bother to hide his evil nature. The Critic is surprised that John Hughes was involved in the script. Note: This episode omits the ending catchphrase, instead it sets up the episode of next week with Home Alone 3. Channel Awesome Tag: Christopher McDonald as Wilson Croft: "I'm here this weekend to steal your fiancée, and make her my wife."
128	"Home Alone 3"	[128]	14:52	April 13, 2010 (2010-04-13)
The Critic reviews Home Alone 3 (1997, PG, 20th Century Fox). He states that he is amazed how great writer John Hughes could stoop to such a low to write this horrible movie. His main criticism is the lack of parental care, as both parents leave the house for many consecutive days and the overall stupidity of the so-called super spies that try to break into his house. He does credit how the main character, Alex, does call the police and the military after finding the chip. Another one of his criticisms, is that despite being aware that Macaulay Culkin had dropped out of acting at the time, he is still enraged at this movie for not having him and the original characters in it. And he points out that the film has nothing to do with Home Alone, hence bearing the title. He pretends to be John Hughes a few times writing the bad scenes and makes a few jokes about him being high or drunk while writing these scenes. At the end, he states that he wrote the worst Home Alone script ever, says that no one will ever buy it. He goes to the studio executives and they buy it, it ends with him screaming 'My career is over!' Note: This episodes omits his closing catchphrase to him saying he wrote the worst Home Alone script ever. Note 2: This episode was accidentally leaked on the day Flubber was released but was quickly taken off (Though if one went to bar, at the end of every video, that says "Other NC Episodes" it could have still been found). Channel Awesome Tag: Lenny Von Dohlen as Burton Jernigan: "How?" (This line is accentuated as if Christopher Walken said it)
129	"Old vs New: King Kong"	[129]	18:42	April 27, 2010 (2010-04-27)
The Critic compares King Kong (1933, Unrated, RKO Pictures) and King Kong (2005, PG-13, Universal). Leading Lady: Naomi Watts (2005 version) wins Supporting Cast: 1933 version wins Special Effects: 2005 version wins King Kong character: 1933 version wins Story: 1933 version wins Old wins, 3-2 Note: This and all the other NC episodes were pushed back a week owing to Doug Walker losing his voice for the third time in under two years. Instead he posted a video of AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses, about to rape Ma-Ti from Captain Planet (played once again by Bhargav Dronamraju), but instead Ma-Ti kills, then rapes AskThatGuy, after insulting and chastising the people who clicked the link for wanting to see him get raped. Channel Awesome Tag: Victor Wong as Charlie, the ship's cook: "Crazy black man been here!"
130	"Drop Dead Fred"	[130]	19:41	May 4, 2010 (2010-05-04)
The Critic reviews Drop Dead Fred (1991, PG-13, New Line Cinema). The Nostalgia Critic opens up with a variant of his classical opening line, referring to himself as "Dr. Nostalgia Critic." He calls the movie a "vile, vomiting shit-fest, never to be seen by man", believing it was originally intended to be a horror film, and that everyone in the movie is mentally insane. With special criticism to the performance of Rik Mayall as Drop Dead Fred, stating that on the annoying bar, he is between Chris Tucker, and Jar Jar Binks. Also as a running joke in the episode, the Nostalgia Critic constantly criticizes how most of the scenes in the movie that are meant to be funny are not even funny and dubs over the main theme from The Omen in order to make them seem scary. Cameos: Rob Walker, Victoria Turner and Bhargav Dronamraju as onlookers. Channel Awesome Tag: Ron Eldard as Mickey Bunce: "You're crazy in the most wonderful way!"
131	"The Care Bears Movie"	[131]	17:41	May 11, 2010 (2010-05-11)
The Critic reviews The Care Bears Movie (1985, G, Samuel Goldwyn Films). The Critic's biggest complaints are the film's heavy-handed cuteness, blatantly advertising the merchandise, and the song sequences, along with some plot holes. He finds many parts of the film, including the reactions of the main characters to certain entities, unintentionally humorous, and at some points, also compares Nicholas' final possessed appearances to villains like Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. At the end of the review, he wonders what the Evil Spirit's motivations were and gets an unexpected visit from the off-screen book. Note: This episode omits the opening catchphrase; it instead opens with the Critic complaining about how no one can take him seriously and how he died a little inside after mentioning that his job involved watching the movie. However he does find that in general, the film is harmless for young audiences, and that the film's antagonists were genuinely threatening. Channel Awesome Tag: Marla Lukofsky as Playful Heart Monkey: "Look! I see a bee on Friend Bear's nose!"
132	"2 Year Anniversary Special: Kickassia - Part 1"	[132]	19:17	May 17, 2010 (2010-05-17)
The Withering Eye The Nostalgia Critic arrives at the micronation of Molossia, and informs its president, Kevin Baugh, that he's planning on a hostile takeover. After being ignored, he calls up everyone at Channel Awesome save for a few, merely by saying "It's time..." without anyone knowing what he's talking about. After explaining his plan, they all meet in a hotel room, where Critic gives a motivational speech using Nazis as both a positive and negative allegory. That afternoon, they all charge towards Molossia, but Baugh pulls out a machine gun, and they all run away. Phelous suggests they all use weapons (an idea Critic quickly takes credit for), and they all arm up for the next day's invasion. Guest Starring: Kevin Baugh as Himself, and Various Channel Awesome Contributors Cameo: Rob Walker as the Narrator and Doug Walker as Spider-Smith

Triumph and Treacle The Nostalgia Critic speaks to Spoony about letting out his insane split personality, but Spoony, in a fit of fear, refuses. The next day, the army shows up at Molossia again, and Kevin Baugh is ready. As they charge across the field, Baugh detonates land mines using his iPhone, to no success. He then steps outside and attempts to use a cannon. Failing that, the army climbs over a chain-link fence using a footstool, where they find Baugh wielding a sword, which he uses to teleport around the field. When he tries to attack Lee, he transforms from a two-dimensional picture into a three-dimensional being, and beats up Baugh. Baugh runs into the house, and the army follows, only to find he has escaped, and his Minister of Keeping Things Orderly, Baron Fritz von Baugh is left behind. Although it is obviously Kevin Baugh, he explains they merely look alike, and the army celebrates their victory, and start up their new nation of Kickassia. Guest Starring: Kevin Baugh as Himself, and Various Channel Awesome Contributors Cameo: Doug Walker as Chester A. Bum
134	"2 Year Anniversary Special: Kickassia - Part 3"	[134]	14:29	May 19, 2010 (2010-05-19)

Bennett the Sage is Surgeon General. Paw is the local radio DJ. Spoony is Head Officer for Science and Technology, still repressing his evil side. Linkara is head of the FBI.

Finally, he speaks to the Nostalgia Critic himself. Later, Cinema Snob complains to the Nostalgia Critic about finances, which is ignored in favor of Hogan's Heroes. Phelous comes up with the idea of charging for tourism, which is quickly stolen. Fritz von Baugh gives Cinema Snob, Phelous, and Benzaie the idea of rebellion.

Guest Starring: Kevin Baugh as Himself, and Various Channel Awesome Contributors

The Beginning of the End of the Beginning While the Nostalgia Chick makes several failed assassination attempts on the Nostalgia Critic, Cinema Snob and the others return to the hotel room and discuss the authenticity of the dynamite receipt, which some claim may have been forged by Baugh. Cinema Snob confronts the Nostalgia Critic, who reveals he bought the dynamite to destroy his nation in case the "nasty wasties" try to take it over. Cinema Snob returns to the hotel and claims responsibility in overthrowing him. Film Brain eavesdrops on this and reports it to Critic, who puts Cinema Snob on trial and exiles him from Kickassia.

The Fall of the Risen While Linkara discusses his distrust of his arch-rival, Dr. Insano walks into the house and fights the Nostalgia Critic in an extensive fight scene, which ends as Critic threatens to shoot Dr. Insano when he's down. Linkara and Benzaie barge in. Linkara tries to convince Critic to shoot Insano, which Benzaie pleads for him not to. After Critic deduces that both of them are in on the conspiracy, Dr. Insano begs for Santa Christ to save him. Santa Christ shows up at the scene, and when Critic impulsively shoots him, everyone gathers to mourn the loss. However, Critic convinces everyone to wish Santa Christ back to life ("I believe in Santa Christ!"), featuring cameos from the Channel Awesome members who didn't participate in the Kickassia series. When this ultimately fails, they throw his body in a dumpster. Back at the hotel room, the group asks Linkara for a plan.

This is interrupted by Santa Christ, who has come back from the dead three days later. He convinces everyone to abandon the nation and give it back to President Baugh while they go back to reviewing video games, comics, and movies. Critic then threatens to blow up Kickassia with the dynamite, but Cinema Snob reveals he disconnected the dynamite when he left. After being beat up again, Critic cedes control of Kickassia back to Kevin Baugh, and they return to their former lives. As they walk away, the narrator begins quoting film lines and titles, resulting in Critic shooting him.

138	"Jaws 3D"	[138]	16:30	May 25, 2010 (2010-05-25)
The Critic reviews Jaws 3-D (1983, PG, Universal). He criticizes both the lame effects and lack of 3-D, saying that happy meal toys in the bathtub are superior, finding the tie-in with Sea World unusual and criticizes the boring characters and ridiculous story. Cinema Snob also makes occasional appearances throughout the episode, talking about Manimal. The Critic turns him off, but occasionally flips back when he gets bored or tries to take focus off something he said, only to go back a few seconds later. Note: After the opening catchphrase, the Critic mentions where he was the previous week, (see above) having no longer being allowed in Molossia (though "Kickassia" was filmed from April 9–11, 2010). Note 2: This film was also already reviewed back in September 2009 by MikeJ in "Shameful Sequels", but was never mentioned in this particular review. MikeJ himself however mentioned it in his "Son of the Mask" review. Cameos: Brad Jones as Cinema Snob. Channel Awesome Tag: Bess Armstrong as Kathryn Morgan: "Mike! The dolphins!"
139	"Free Willy"	[139]	14:42	June 1, 2010 (2010-06-01)
The Critic reviews Free Willy (1993, PG, Warner Bros.). While he does not believe the movie terrible, he feels it is a rehash of previous movies of a boy bonding with an animal. One of the main criticisms is the infamous scene where Willy jumps over the bed of rocks with the Critic believing that he could have easily jumped over the low net blocking his path instead. He also hates listening to Willy calling to his family, comparing it to someone annoying doing something making them even worse (something different every time). He believes the song performed by Michael Jackson, "Will You Be There", was the sole reason the movie was a hit. Note: The Critic omits his closing catchphrase, instead he goes onto a rant about how whenever he says the name of a bad movie he has to review it in the next episode. He then accidentally says the name of the next review (A Troll in Central Park) and starts to scream in rage. Introducing: The creepy popcorn guy gag. Channel Awesome Tag: Keiko the Orca as Willy doing the call to Willy's family that the Critic found irritating.
140	"A Troll in Central Park"	[140]	21:12	June 8, 2010 (2010-06-08)
The Critic reviews A Troll in Central Park (1994, G, Warner Bros.). He considers it to be the worst movie ever made by Don Bluth, saying that it is incredibly stupid, going on to say that he did not even show half of the filler and summing the entire film as "brightly colored junk food for the mind". He also criticizes how the movie seems to talk down to children but offer nothing in return, with annoying characters, a plot that does not make sense, and its resemblance to an over-the-top parody of children's films. He goes on to claim it is more suitable for showing to a wall, then shows the ending of Poltergeist to "demonstrate what happened to the last wall the film was shown to". The Critic is also outraged by the confusing ending, and the message that dreams come true when one just dreams alone rather than working for it. However, at the end of the review, the Critic uses that knowledge to "outdream" Stanley by having the troll impaled on a Porcupine before getting eaten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Note: The Critic omits his opening catchphrase, instead pacing about and expressing his disgust at even the mere mention of the title. Guest Starring: Rob Walker as the voice of Stanley the troll. Channel Awesome Tag: A troll guard singing "I'm a bad troll!" to the tune of Volga Boatman
141	"Theodore Rex"	[141]	19:32	June 15, 2010 (2010-06-15)
The Critic reviews Theodore Rex (1996, PG, New Line Cinema). He finds the movie to be hard to comprehend, feeling the producers made the movie with no thought put into, only to make more money. He criticizes the poor animatronics, bad editing and annoying running jokes. He notes the ending is brief, though is okay with it as the movie ends sooner. Channel Awesome Tag: George Newbern as Theodore Rex: "Cookies! Cookies! Cookies! Cookies! Cookies!"
142	"Top 11 Coolest Cliches"	[142]	17:52	June 22, 2010 (2010-06-22)
The Critic lists the top 11 coolest cliches. 11. Holding the gun sideways. 10. Crying with only shedding one tear (also referred to as the "Sexy Cry"). 9. The dark, hidden past of a character 8. Dramatic choir to make a scene more epic. 7. One on one with the final enemy, running towards each other from a distance. 6. Capes and clothing blowing in the wind. 5. Walking near an explosion without being harmed by it. 4. Shouting "NO!" 3. Evil laughter. 2. Walking or standing in a straight line. 1. Slow motion scenes. Note: The usual "Why Top 11?" catchphrase is replaced by "Why Top 11? Because I have my own cliches that'll never die." Channel Awesome Tag: Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp in Tombstone: "NO!"
143	"Hook"	[143]	26:41	June 29, 2010 (2010-06-29)
The Critic reviews Hook (1991, PG, Sony Pictures). The Critic likes this film, but makes fun of it for its third act, plotholes (such as the infant Peter Pan growing up while at Neverland), some sub-par acting and some of the dialogue. But he also praised the performances of Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams as Captain Hook and Peter Pan, respectively, and likes some of the jokes and the way it is carried out, even though it is slightly outdated. Note: This review has the most film references to date, with references such as Star Wars and Pulp Fiction. Note 2: His usual closing catchphrase is changed to "I'm The Nostalgia Critic and I don't believe in fairies!". Flora then falls on the ground. This joke was used earlier in the episode when Robin Williams shouts "I don't believe in fairies!", killing Crysta from "Ferngully". Cameos: Doug Walker as the voice of Captain Hook and the voice of Jesus, Rob Walker as the voice of the Department of Records, Matthew Buck as Film Brain. Channel Awesome Tag: Robin Williams as Peter Pan/Banning: "My Jack..."
144	"Independence Day"	[144]	24:18	July 6, 2010 (2010-07-06)
In the spirit of the Fourth of July, The Critic reviews Independence Day (1996, PG-13, 20th Century Fox). He criticizes the lame cliches, unoriginality, the movie's tendency to Jump the shark and predictable outcomes (like the death of the main character's friend). He most frequently criticizes the stereotypical and lame characters, with the exception of Will Smith's, who can have lame lines, but can still make it sound cool. He also constantly pokes fun at the overall logic of the film; like why they will not let Will Smith's character into NASA because he is engaged to a stripper, the alien autopsy without security, or the President joining a military assault. But despite these criticisms, he appreciates the special effects and even admits that he liked the film when it was first released. He concludes that it is not the absolute worst film he has reviewed, but is still really bad. At the end of the review, the Critic mentions the rumors of a sequel to Independence Day and announces his support of the aliens, by putting on fake alien anttene and saying, "Nanu! Nanu!". Note: The Critic previously mentioned the film in his Godzilla review. Saying how the movie trailers for Roland Emmerich's movies are good, but the movies themselves are lacking. Channel awesome tag: Jeff Goldblum as David Levinson: "Checkmate..."
