Rabin's main contribution to the site, beyond criticism, is his long-running [[http://www.avclub.com/features/my-year-of-flops/ My Year of Flops]] feature, which he describes as "a leisurely stroll of cinema's biggest commercial and critical disasters, with an eye towards singling out unfairly maligned winners (like, say, ''Film/JoeVersusTheVolcano'' or ''Film/{{Ishtar}}'') and great scenes in otherwise middling movies." After 199 installments, My Year of Flops ended and was repurposed as [[http://www.avclub.com/features/my-world-of-flops/ My World of Flops]], allowing Rabin to delve into notable failures in other non-film media (though he still does films as well), thereby offering him a wider range of subject matter to pontificate upon.
More recently, he has taken to music criticism, applying the My Year of Flops formula to the ''[=NOW!=]'' series of bestselling NothingButHits pop compilations in a series called [[http://www.avclub.com/features/then-thats-what-they-called-music/ [=THEN=] That's What They Called Music]].
Rabin's autobiography, ''The Big Rewind'', was published in 2009. A book based on ''My Year of Flops'' (which has long since passed the single year that Rabin planned for the feature to last) was released in 2010. Through The A.V. Club, he is one of many co-writers of ''Inventory'', which compiles over 100 lists.
