channelawesome.com/hocus-pocus-nostalgia-critic/Its a Demo Reel style recreation review with no clips from the actual movie ala Pixels and Jurassic World. Which makes sense; I can imagine the difficulty in procuring footage for a film that only came out 22 years ago. Oy vey.

I have a cousin who is about 10. Hocus Pocus is on the family iPad. She is utterly enamored with the "yabbos" scene, and seems to find it the most hilarious thing in the world. When we visited for Halloween within 20 minutes she had brought the iPad over and played the scene 5 times in a row.

4 minutes in.
Me: Ha ha this is funny and actually making quite a few valid points. I wonder when the review will start?
7 minutes in.
Me: Jesus Christ, this is one hell of a long skit.
14 minutes in.
Me: What the hell, man?
19 minutes in.
Me: Make it stop!
25 minutes in.
My Neighbour: Was that a gunshot?

That's odd, was he worried about Disney's legal team? Because it's not like he hasn't covered a ton of classic Dsiney material before. Hell one of his best modern reviews was the Disney Afternoon tribute.

I was thinking, "Oh, cool, maybe I'll watch this one," then see it's nothing but skits, so screw that.
Can't remember the last NC I watched. Haunted Mansion maybe?

I was never a massive fan of Doug's work, but I used to watch Ask TGWTG regularly and would catch a few of the pre-Demo Reel NCs, but I can never make it past 5-6 minutes into these recent episodes. It feels like he's traded in "being funny" for "let's see how loud and obnoxious I can be to get my point/disdain across and fill the rest of the time with skits so people don't notice". |

Yeah, he's sadly become the stereotypical "Internet critic", in that he doesn't say much of actual substance about the things he reviews, just nitpicks and acts negative for negativity's sake. |

I've gotten bored of these type of critics, yeah it was funny 5 - 10 years ago but now it's old hat.
I prefer critics like Jahns, Stuckman, Schmoes etc (even James Rolfe whenever he's a "Non Nerd" character)
Hey but if you like em then more power to ya

For the newer movies I can understand doing skits because the clips are not available to get if the movie is still in the box office. This however there's no excuse for. Just when I think Critic can not get any lower he pulls this. DEMO REEL IS NOT GETTING OVER DOUG, STOP TRYING TO MAKE IT!

Weird. Wonder why they couldn't get the footage? Has he or Rob explained yet?

Y'know I loved watching Doug, about 5 years ago, but he's gone completely downhill to the point where I just can't. He really annoyed me in his Goosebumps review with Brad and its gotten to the point with these internet reviewers where I'm less like, "Yeah, exactly!" when it comes to agreeing and more like, "Just enjoy the damn movie and shut up." Its funny when the movie is bad, but when he's going out of his way at times to crap on something, its irritating. Demo Reel doesn't help either.
