1Kinley Mochrie, daughter of famed improv comedian Creator/ColinMochrie and actress Creator/DebraMcGrath, is the host of the Website/ChannelAwesome series ''Film Conscience'' (under the name Luke Mochrie, before coming out as transgender in 2017), where Phillip, her inner pessimist, and Ringo, her inner optimist, discuss recently released films. She later added several other aspects of her personality that provide their own view points on the films and support either Philip or Ringo's arguments. Philip and Ringo each choose one of the new Consciences to represent their view of the film, and at the end Kinley gives her overall opinion.

3!!Tropes:
4
5* AccentuateTheNegative: Phillip, the Inner Pessimist, although he'll admit when something really good pops up in a film being reviewed.
6* AffablyEvil: Ralph.
7* CasanovaWannabe: Donny, the Inner Pervert.
8* CharacterCatchphrase: "Welcome to ''Film Conscience'', where the voices in my head do the talking."
9* CoolShades: Guy.
10* CreatorInJoke: James, the Inner Romantic, is [[HappilyMarried happily dating]] a girl named "Megan". That's the name of Kinley Mochrie's real-life girlfriend.
11* TheCutie: Ringo. His jacket is made of 1% happiness. It's how he stays so perky.
12* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Throughout the first few episodes, Phillip and Ringo agreed far more often, even if they had already been established as, respectively, "the critical, technical side" and "the emotional, intuitive side"; up until the last episode hosted on Website/YouTube, [[NamelessNarrative they had no names]].
13* EruditeStoner: Implied with Scott, the Inner Musician (to explain Scott's behavior in 'New Season Teaser', Ringo mimes smoking a joint)
14* EvenNerdsHaveStandards: Though usually [[ThePollyanna willing to see good in everything]], Ringo flat out tells Kinley to ''run'' when she's asked to review ''Film/TheLastAirbender''.
15* TheFaceless: Wretch, the Inner Horror Fan, wears a burlap sack with eyes and a mouth drawn on it.
16* FamousAncestor: Her father is Colin Mochrie, best known for regularly appearing on both versions of ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway''. Proud papa frequently links to his daughter's efforts from his Website/{{Facebook}} page.
17** Brought up in the Fourth Anniversary Video for TGWTG, ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'', where Kinley's father's role in ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' is brought up.
18* INeedToGoIronMyDog: Ringo attempting to avoid comments on the writing in ''Film/SeasonOfTheWitch''.
19-->'''Ringo''': I need to go...uh...put out a fire...in the bathroom.
20** A few moments later, to avoid having to comment on the direction, he attempts to say he needs to go ''disarm a nuclear bomb.''
21** During a [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/yrt/specials/30277-the-last-airbender review of The Last Airbender]], he had this to say to avoid getting dragged into viewing it also:
22-->'''Kinley''' Uh, yeah… Ah, you know what? I think I, uh… I think I left my faucet on… In… In Canada. So I need to go. [runs away]
23* LovableCoward: Neil, the Inner Worrier.
24* LoveItOrHateIt: The show may be based on that, different opinions and all, but very few things are able to polarize the Inners like Creator/NicolasCage.
25-->'''Ringo''': I love Nic Cage!
26-->'''Phillip''': I hate Nic Cage!
27-->'''Ringo''': How could you ''possibly'' hate Nic Cage?
28-->'''Phillip''': There's a better question here somewhere, and I think it's "how could you ''like'' Nic Cage?"
29-->'''Ringo''': Quite easily, thanks for asking.
30* MST3KMantra: [[invoked]] Ringo takes a fair bit of solace in the knowledge not every movie was supposed to end up in the Criterion Collection. This is what enables him to enjoy ''Film/HotTubTimeMachine''.
31* MusicalEpisode: Her return to the site, where she did brief reviews of ''every'' movie she had seen since her last appearance. While playing the ukulele.
32* OhCrap: When Kinley realizes she has to review ''[[Music/JustinBieber Never Say Never]]''.
33* OddCouple: Phillip and Ringo, the only two Inners featured in each show.
34* PraisingShowsYouDontWatch: ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' was a pretty good Dreamworks animated film. Which Philip and Ringo never saw. [[invoked]]
35* RunningGag: Quite often, when the Inners make analogies referencing other films, the video will then cut to a title card offering a literal interpretation.
36* ScrewYourself: In the ''Film/ParanormalActivity2'' review, Ringo explains that him and Phillip sharing Wretch will be like "a three-way of the mind".
37* SelfDeprecation:
38-->'''Kinley''': Let's try and get through this like the professionals we are.
39-->'''Ringo''': We're not professionals! We're socially awkward nerds who will ridicule anything, even though we couldn't make something any better. You know, ''critics''!
40* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Phillip and Ringo enjoy their sparring, even if [[DeadpanSnarker Phillip]] tends to set the bar pretty damn high.
41* SoapBoxSadie: Terry, the Inner Activist.
42* WittyBanter: played with, as seen in the ''Burlesque 5''-second review:
43--> '''Ringo''': It was good!
44--> '''Phillip''': It was shit.
45--> '''Ringo''': Are you serious?
46--> '''Phillip''': What did you like?
47--> '''Ringo''': The acting. What didn't you like?
48--> '''Phillip''': Everything else.
49--> '''Ringo''': Oh you ''bitch''.
50--> '''Kinley''': Ok, shut up. Conclusion time...
