** "FIVE OF 'UM!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the ''Leprechaun'' episode, James notes that he's never seen a four-leaf clover. Later, in the ''Last Action Hero'' episode, his oldest daughter found ''five'' four-leaf clovers in the yard and pasted them on a piece of paper, which James showed to the group.[[/labelnote]]

** In one ''Retail Reviews'' episode, Mike makes the case that the [[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles first Ninja Turtles game on NES]] is the best one, citing that there's strategy in switching between characters on the fly and likes the challenge. Needless to say, a lot of gamers prefer the second or third NES game instead.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Tony's show [[https://www.youtube.com/c/HackTheMovies Hack the Movies]] is more or less the same format as Cinemassacre Video with Tony as the host, with plenty of guests from Cinemassacre and not appearing in different reviews.
** The [=Y2K=] Scare VHS Tapes episode feels like a precursor to the Cinemassacre Podcast- while they did technically discuss the content of the tapes, a good chunk of it was merely discussing the topic of [=Y2K=] in general, and has the freewheeling conversation feel of the Podcast.

Only part of this is accurate. James does talk- just not as much as the others.


* MemeticMutation: James frequently uttering "mmhmm" and "yep"... and not saying much else.

Renamed one trope.


* BaseBreakingCharacter: The cast (Tony, Justin and Kieran) have proven to be quite divisive amongst fans. Some find them to be a good addition to the channel for helping James behind the scenes and find their banter back and forth funny. Others see them as [[ReplacementScrappy Replacement Scrappies]] to Kyle and Bootsy, believing they lack charisma with not only James but with themselves, and find them to be annoying in their own way. [[note]] Tony’s nonstop laughing and cutting off conversations to tell unrelated stories, Justin’s attempts to be contrarian (like saying Vegas Vacation was better than Christmas Vacation for example), and Kieran’s notorious behind the scenes harassment towards fans who disagree with the direction of the content being among the most criticized aspects of them. [[/note]]

** [[RunningGag Justin again:]] He legitimately enjoys ''Film/MacAndMe'' more than [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial the film that inspired it]], although part of that may be due to nostalgia.
* TheyCopiedItNowItSucks: One of the reasons why the series is divisive is that it’s often unfavorably compared to a low rent version of WebVideo/RedLetterMedia’s ''Best of the Worst'' or ''Half In the Bag'', right down to some of the movie choices.

* BrokenBase: It's a divisive show. To some it’s a fun series of reviews with some memorable and funny moments from the hosts. To others it’s a bad ripoff of WebVideo/RedLetterMedia’s content with uninteresting hosts who talk over James and features a film selection far removed from what James would watch (such as ''Film/SpiceWorld'' and the ''[[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Avengers movies]]'' being some of the more controversial choices).

** The collab with Creator/DougWalker and Creator/BradJones. Some found it as funny as the rest of the series, others were turned off by how James is still associating with Doug and Brad after the Change the Channel controversy.

** Of course, the whole ''[[TheLostWorldJurassicPark Jurassic Park II]] vs. [[Film/JurassicParkIII III]]'' review is built on this, although most of the people who took the Twitter poll sided with Kieran in saying ''The Lost World'' was the better of the two sequels, much to Tony's chagrin.

* OpinionMyopia: There have been a few examples:
** Justin's favorite ''Vacation'' movie is ''Film/VegasVacation''. This is practically sacrilege, as many ''Vacation'' fans prefer either the original or ''[[Film/NationalLampoonsChristmasVacation Christmas Vacation]]''.
** James thinks ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom Temple of Doom]]'' is the worst of the four ''Indy'' movies, and likes ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull Crystal Skull]]'' more. This one isn't ''as'' bad- there are certainly some ''Indy'' fans who don't mind ''Crystal Skull''- but there are just as many who [[FanonDiscontinuity refuse to acknowledge a fourth film even exists.]]

** Justin doesn't like ''Film/{{Caddyshack}}'' as a whole, though he admitted liking certain scenes. Again, a controversial opinion to hold, and one which Tony gave him crap for.
** [[RunningGag Justin again:]] He legitimately enjoys ''Film/MacAndMe'' more than [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial the film that inspired it]], although part of that may be due to nostalgia.
