* '''''Movie Nights''''': Similar to ''Obscurus Lupa Presents'' but with the format changed to a discussion panel, either with Allison presenting solo or teaming up with a guest host (such as frequent collaborator {{WebVideo/Phelous}}). The movies chosen are still either Z-grade genre films or notorious mainstream flops that flew under the radar. Unlike ''OLP'', Allison does not perform as a character.

* UnfortunateNames: "Ah yes, the newest production from Rapi Films."

* '''''Charmed Hard with a Vengeance''''': Allison and Phelous recap and talk about each episode of the 2018 reboot of ''Series/{{Charmed|2018}}'' as it airs. [[ScrewThisImHOuttaHere They bailed on the show]] with "[[Recap/Charmed2018S3E13ChaosTheory Chaos Theory]]."

--->"What a selfish, awful person. Seriously, who was watching this and didn't instantly see Emperor Palpatine through her thin, grimy veneer? She's the most heinous of people, the lowest of the low. I could ''murder'' her! And she's '''fictional!''' '''''[[Film/{{Zoolander}} I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS]] [[SuddenlyScreaming WATCHING THIS SHOW]]!'''''\\

** From ''Masterminds'': [[YouMightRememberMeFrom You might remember]] Vincent Kartheiser as [[{{Film/Alaska}} Sean]] ("Aww!♥") and [[{{Series/Angel}} Connor]] (wrinkles nose in derision).

* YouKeepUsingThatWord:
** She remarks that despite the film being called ''Pterodactyl'', the creatures featured are in fact pteranodons, which are not dinosaurs.
** The word 'karma' gets used a lot in ''Lady Dragon'' in a way that does not mean what the film-makers seem to think.
** The villain in ''Vampire Assassin'' keeps muttering about "fate or destiny" as if they were not synonyms.

Allison Pregler (born December 6, 1989) is an female reviewer who takes on Z-grade movies, usually in the horror or martial arts genre; a roughly similar beat to WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob, but tending towards dumb action flicks and a [[BileFascination morbid enjoyment]] of them. She began reviewing in late 2009 and after gaining some notoriety on their forums (under her old handle, Obscurus Lupa), she became a member of the Website/ChannelAwesome family. She remained on the site until early 2015, when ''Obscurus Lupa Presents'' was {{retool}}ed into ''Movie Nights''.

* '''''Obscurus Lupa Presents''''': Z-movies from the early [[TheSeventies 70's]] to the modern day. A "Z" movie for Allison is something that doesn't have the capability or the budget to do something incredible. Not all the movies are bad. [[BaitAndSwitchComment Some are terrible]].
* '''''Commercial Dubs''''': Allison riffs on TV spots and film trailers from the 90's in her inimitable style.

** Allison opened the review for ''Film/MiamiConnection''--aka the world's first musical about ninjas--dressed as a trashy 80's rock groupie. The reason quickly becomes clear: '''Dragon's Sound.''' Allison punches the air with joy.

** Her crossover review of ''Film/SimonSez'' with The Critic added [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall 90's Kid]], for a "Poor Literacy is Kewl!" joke.
-->'''90's Kid:''' Hey can I do the crossover with you guys?\\

'''90's Kid:''' But I wrote a script. Here i'll read it to you: Allison and 90's Kid start making out. No wait, that's my fanfiction. Oh here it is! 90's Kid and Allison start making out!

** While reviewing "I'm Dangerous Tonight," Allison and Phelous say Creator/MadchenAmick does a better job acting than the movie deserves. They then compliments Amick's acting in the pilot episode of Baywatch, and Riverdale. Then there is a Riverdale clip with the words "Watch Riverdale" on it.

** Creator/LouFerrigno...[[Series/TheIncredibleHulk in green makeup]]. This won't end well.

** The "[[Series/TheIncredibleHulk Lonely Man]]" theme plays when her beloved "Vampire Hulk" gets staked. (''Vampires Assassin'')

* [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously Took The Bad Show Seriously]]:[[invoked]] During a CPR rescue, Underage Girlfriend Girl is spotted acting her little heart out, causing Allison to pause the action and address her directly.

** which makes her a selfish asshole, not a “whore”. Allison was just being sexist.

** [[invoked]] ''Charmed'' has also had its share of {{Family Unfriendly Aesop}}s:

** "Actor" Billy Drago. While not as beloved as the others (Allison never sought Billy out: he just sort of [[DropInCharacter stumbles drunkenly into her reviews]]), he's always a welcome sight nonetheless.

---> '''Allison:''' They went from "no effort at all", to, "[[AllOfThem DUB EVERYTHING]]"

* '''''Movie Nights''''': Similar to ''Obscurus Lupa Presents'' but with the format changed to a discussion panel, either with Allison presenting solo or teaming up with a guest host (such as frequent collaborator WebVideo/Phelous). The movies chosen are still either Z-grade genre films or notorious mainstream flops that flew under the radar. Unlike ''OLP'', Allison does not perform as a character.

* SlutShaming: Allison's constant calling Phoebe a whore makes her realize she needs to make a clarification: she does not have a problem with people being sexually liberated, but Phoebe uses her boyfriends, cheats on them, is dishonest with them, otherwise treats them like garbage, and is a terrible human being in general. She is not shaming sexually liberated people, she's just targeting this one particular slut.
**which is still sexist of her.

** Whenever Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's little sister [[Creator/ElizabethOlsen Lizzy]] shows up in a video Alison and Phelous are reviewing, Alison insists that she [[BlatantLies never went on to do anything else]]

* which is still sexist of her.

** Regarding Ulli Lommel, the director of ''Zombie Nation'' Allison quips he is like Uwe Boll, except Uwe Boll has funding.

Allison Pregler (born December 6, 1989) is an ([[KaleidoscopeHair often]]) red-headed female reviewer who takes on Z-grade movies, usually in the horror or martial arts genre; a roughly similar beat to WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob, but tending towards dumb action flicks and a [[BileFascination morbid enjoyment]] of them. She began reviewing in late 2009 and after gaining some notoriety on their forums (under her old handle, Obscurus Lupa), she became a member of the Website/ChannelAwesome family. She remained on the site until early 2015, when ''Obscurus Lupa Presents'' was {{retool}}ed into ''Movie Nights''.

* '''''Movie Nights''''': An impromptu discussion panel, sometimes with Allison hosting solo, or (most often) co-hosting with her boyfriend WebVideo/{{Phelous}}.

Her videos can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiR_TugQyPc7cerQgiYCjtw here]] and [[http://www.phelous.com/obscuruslupa here]]. Can also be found at her [[https://twitter.com/Obscurus_Lupa Twitter account]] and [[http://movienightstheseries.tumblr.com/ Tumblr account]].

** Allison herself, making videos like "Top 10 Hottest Animated Dogs" (with the rug-dog from ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' being number one!) or "10 Reasons Why ''Film/CoolAsIce'' is better than ''Film/CitizenKane''", and often appearing rather ditzy and offbeat in crossovers.

* CrossoverShip: Invoked in ''Allison Reads Her Franchise/{{Barbie}} Fanfic'' due to her [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Ariel]] doll having a boyfriend with the same name as [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Brock]].

** In ''Mindwarp'', Angus Scrimm starts talking like [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Scuttle]] as he inspects some junk.

** She does a list of "The Top 10 Hottest Animated Dogs", but acts sickened at people who find the mice from ''Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective'' to be attractive.

Is that meant to make it ok? How about not calling female characters sluts? Phoebe didn’t cheat on her boyfriends either. It doesn’t matter what excuse she uses, screaming “whore” at the character is misogynistic.
