I was curious about this one as I've never watched this movie. But since y'all are saying it's a skit one, I'll pass. If you want a proper review of it look up the Nostalgia Chick one.

I actually go to Nostalgia Chick when I want more real film analysis. But yeah, the only people from Channel Awesome I can really stomach anymore are Linkara, Nostalgia Chick, and Todd in The Shadows.

A not so clever way to revive Demo Reel.
Which no one liked.
Except Doug.
Let it go, Doug.

Tried to remember when I gave up on Doug's videos and couldn't. So I went to his site and just scrolled through the videos to see which ones I really last watched. Mostly just his editorials I watched, I do remember beginning to enjoy those more than his reviews for a while. Then I remembered his Matrix movie reviews. All the hate I developed for him began then.

You know I didn't think it was too funny the first 9,000 times he said it, but number 9,001 had me on the floor howling with laughter.

Hocus Pocus is one of my favorite Halloween movies. It's pretty low rent, but fun. I don't quite get how this movie cost 30 million or so to make, since it basically looks like a higher-end TV movie, but I guess the special effects might have just been more expensive back then, and I remember the book looking pretty neat, as far as physical effects go.

Basically he harped on the idea that Neo had a regular guy name and only ever called him Tom for all 3 reviews usually in the most obnoxious tone possible.

Again with the ridiculous vitriol here. How is this review "scumbagish"? It's "scumbagish" because I clicked on the video expecting to get a traditional Nostalgia Critic review of an old nostalgic movie and without any kind of notice I got "Walker Brothers Cosplay Theatre". And now they're gonna use my click and the clicks of many other people who also did not want to see this kind of video but were also tricked into it to justify continuing to make videos like this. That's a scumbag move. I'm done with the Walker's and I'm done with Channel Awesome. You have a very wrong definition, then. He's done recreation reviews before, maybe he could have mentioned on his Facebook that they'd have to do another recreation for it; but regardless its his show where he does reviews which means at the end of the day he can do them however he pleases. It's still a bit silly to call him scum just for not reviewing a movie like the way you think it should be. Besides, there's no way this didn't involve problems with Disney. If not for Blip going down the drain and YouTube constantly screwing them over with not enforcing Fair Use they wouldn't have done it this way. To be honest, I don't get all the hate for the skits. There are some episodes where they didn't hit the mark, but most of the time when they're playing off the review subject they've been funny. Might as well have this out, why does everyone hate them so much? Also, Demo Reel DID have fans.

I can sort of understand Doug putting what's their faces in NC reviews after he stopped doing Demo Reel, to give them something to do after their regular show ended earlier than expected, but why are they still around? Did they sign 10 year iron clad contracts?

With me personally I feel that sketchs and other extraneous stuff should supplement the review and not actually be the main attraction. It's like going out to a fine restaurant, yes the sides should still be made with the same care and attention as the main course but that main course should still be the star of the meal.
Of course everyone has different tastes, if you like the extra stuff that's fine too.

Did they sign 10 year iron clad contracts? Because he still reeeeeeally wants this to work. Pretty much. When you look at Doug's tendency to do things that he wants to do regardless of how people feel about it (that LP disaster, reviewing Passion of the Christ on another channel after it was clear that people didn't want it reviewed on NC, starting Demo Reel in the first place when people still wanted NC), it's not entirely surprising that he's still trying to make this shit work. Personally, I don't even hate the idea of Doug having skits and I think his original Demo Reel idea was interesting even though it had been done before, but he just kinda sucks at them. His voice (not trying to be mean, but you probably get what I'm saying here), tendency to shove opinions in your face, questionable acting ability/comedic timing all mix into a horrible mess of content.
