** In his review of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E23HomersEnemy Homer's Enemy]]", he makes the case for an anti-capitalism message. Instead of [[ThisLoserIsYou Frank Grimes]] realizing that his all troubles were due to problems InherentInTheSystem and then working towards changing the system, [[MisplacedRetribution he turns all his ire towards Homer Simpson over things that aren't in his control because he's an easier target than Mr. Burns]].

* AuthorAppeal: He suggests this is the reason why Creator/TomHanks keeps being depicted as urinating or discussing the act in his movies, whether out of enjoyment of ToiletHumour or something sexual in nature.

''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9infsKo33_2LUoiqXGgQWg Renegade Cut]]'' is an [[AnalysisChannel film analysis web show]] hosted by Leon Thomas. The show primarily analyses films from a left-wing perspective, specifically how they relate to subjects such as politics, religion, and philosophy, but some videos also straight up tackles political subjects, both historical and current.

!!This work provides examples of:

* CapitalismIsBad: A recurring theme in many of his videos, particularly "Thanos is Wrong" or "Late Stage Disney."

* TheCameo: Part 3 of his retrospective on the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse features voice cameos from [[WebVideo/TheDomReviews Dominic "The Dom" Smith]] and [[WebVideo/FoldingIdeas Dan Olson]].

* DeathByNewberyMedal: The dog variety of this is discussed in the aptly titled video "Killing the Dog," [[InfantImmortality as well as whether or not it is "okay" for a dog to die and when in a work]].

* InsistentTerminology: As Leon Thomas himself describes in his retrospective on the ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'', more casual (and caustic) viewers often tend lump him in with "film critics," but as he puts it he is not really a film critic, but rather a video essayist. As he puts it, he might critique films from time to time, but this in and of itself is not the main goal of his work, which is to analyse films as they relate to politics and philosophy and vice versa.

* ForegoneConclusion: His issue with FoundFootageFilms, as revealed in "No Happy Endings", is that for most films the very nature of the genre means that the main characters ''must'' die and leave behind footage to be found, thus removing all tension.
* InnocenceLost: The topic of the similarly titled "Lost Innocence", in regards to Creator/JenniferConnelly's character(s) in ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' and ''Film/RequiemForADream''; if one interprets them as one full storyline, it becomes a story about a young girl manipulated by an older man who grows up to become a drug addict as a result.

* LivingProp: His primary problem with Creator/WesAnderson is that he tends to treat non-upper-middle-class white people as this in foreign settings of his movies, most prominently Film/TheDarjeelingLimited, where the film, despite being set in India, has almost no Indian characters with their own agency, personalities, and goals, and only serve as stepping stones for the [[WhiteMaleLead White Male Leads]]. He also takes umbrage that Anderson finds being accused of passive racism to be as bad as actually being racist.

* PlotHole: The show discusses a well-known plot hole in ''Citizen Kane'' and if it makes the film worse.

* UrbanHellscape: The trope name comes from here, which calls it the "Sci-Fi Urban Hellscape". He explains both the beginnings, end, and aspects of the trope, using ''Film/Predator2'' as an example of one of the last of its kind.
* VanillaProtagonist: [[invoked]] In his ''[[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker]]'' video, Leon argues against this common criticism against the character and actually makes a case that Luke has the more dynamic [[CharacterDevelopment Character Arc]] than Han Solo.
