Nostalgia Critic

- Season 6

(2013)

The Critic returns from the Plot Hole, ready to review again. First up on the chopping block is The Odd Life of Timothy Green, a horribly misguided 2012 family film with a mixed message about parenting and too much focus on pencils than story.

Satan searches for the right movie to put his daughter back on the right path, but unfortunately for him, the Nostalgia Critic gets his hands on it first.

The Critic pays tribute, and even delivers a eulogy to his idol, famed film critic Roger Ebert.

While babysitting Satan's daughter, Evilina, the Nostalgia Critic is forced to watch one of the worst movies ever made, The Cat in the Hat. Frightening images, adult humor and lack of loyalty to Seuss' work really grind the Critic's gears.

The Critic looks at two shows, Seinfeld and Louie, that are seemingly "about nothing." When comparing the two, Seinfeld had more substance, so were they being honest when they said it was a show about nothing?

In a controversial move, the Nostalgia Critic reviews a good movie: Jurassic Park. He points out the flaws that people didn't notice before, he worships the T-Rex as the silver screen's biggest hero, and he says it has held up well these past 20 years.

Are Superheroes Whiny Little Bitches? Why have they been transformed from brave, strong, bad-asses into mopey little emos? The Nostalgia Critic digs deep into superhero mythos to find out why.

The Nostalgia Critic looks back on the mid-'90s Anime sensation, Sailor Moon. It's your basic, run-of-the-mill Japanese animated kids show, and to the Critic's dismay, he realizes he's been ogling scantily-clad 14-year-old girls, albeit animated ones, all this time.

Before Itchy and Scratchy, we had Tom and Jerry as the ultimate cat and mouse disaster team. Why were they truly the masters of animated slapstick and why are they not as popular today? Who better to find out than a real-life cartoon character: the Nostalgia Critic.

The Critic, Paw and Oancitizen review the 2012 hit musical Les Miserables. Paw loves it, Oan hates it, and the Critic is somewhere between.

Nostalgiaween 2013 concludes with The Nostalgia Critic finding himself trapped on an elevator with, of all people, Rita Repulsa, Santa Christ, and Satan himself. To pass the time, they review the 2010 Shyamalan vehicle Devil, which may or may not reflect their current situation.

Mama Mia! Super Mario Bros. comics are actually pretty good? How come Mario and Luigi have faltered in movies and TV shows, but not in printed media? Quite the bamboozling mystery, but the Nostalgia Critic intends to get to the bottom of this.

In his 'I Donut Donuts' T-shirt, the Nostalgia Critic plops down on the couch to review more commercials, including patriotic pancakes, Toys R Us kids who probably never grew up, disgusting twin baby dolls and a few controversial PSA's. Also, the Wicked Witch of the West tries her luck at seduction.

How well does Adam Sandler hold up in animated form? Less bearable than in human form. The Nostalgia Critic reviews Sandler's 2002 foray into animation as the world's only well-known Hanukkah movie, which could possibly be the worst holiday special the Critic has ever seen...this year.

Is it really a good idea to lie to your kids about the existence of Santa Claus? This may sound like a damaging topic, but don't worry.
