• His Cool Cat Learns Fair Use video, where Adam calmly deconstructs and takes apart Cool Cat Saves the Kids director Derek Savage's copyright arguments and misinformation through basic research and videos explaining what fair use is. Adam then goes on to explain that if copyright works like Derek thinks, than he would ironically be busted several times by accidental Product Placement. Adam explained this is basic knowledge of fair use, something he's shocked and frustrated Savage doesn't know.
• In his Borat and Bruno review, Adam single-handedly destroys the accusations made towards Brüno (2009) of homophobia because it makes fun of gay stereotypes.
• Although it's clear he favors art/indie films, he demonstrates an ability (with factual evidence, too) from time to time to destroy the whole "it's art" justification for plot-holes or bad filmmaking. Probably the best example would be in his review of Nymphomaniac:
  • He criticizes the unnecessary jump cut during a normal conversation where nothing appears to be happening. He also appears to not let "it's intentional" be an excuse for bad editing in what is supposed to be an intelligent art film.
  • He criticizes the unnecessary aspect ratio change during a rather dramatic scene, so much that he willingly bought two different online versions of the film to see if it happens during both versions. It doesn't, and it leads him to question what made one version of the movie so special. The first thing he says as soon as the movie is over, at the end of the video is, "this movie is not worth one movie ticket, let alone the two I paid to see it."
  • What was particularly ballsy of him was to criticize the infamous Author Filibuster scene that opens Part II, even going so far to compare it to Shoot 'Em Up, which has a similar scene done as a joke to criticize this exact same thing. He compared a dumb action movie to an "intelligent" art film, and it was completely valid too.
• His on-going analysis of Synecdoche, New York was good enough to impress Charlie Kaufman himself, as seen in his interview with him and Duke Johnson.
• He managed to get the chance to be able to interview Lloyd Kaufman of Troma studios.
• Adam absolutely destroys the fanatical DCEU fans on their reaction to the critical reception of Suicide Squad (2016) before the thing was even released in his quick review of the film.
  "Do you know what projection is?"
  • Add to that, him briefly defending Chris Stuckmann for his negative review and highlighting one of the angry comments left on his video.
• In the Frozen (2010) review, he gets two science people to debunk the director's excuse that "you can't see the characters' breath because it's actually colder and they're suffering from hypothermia".
• He also apparently got in contact with the writers of the Ghostwriter in regards on what was the process of creating the Gooey Gus episode that became the focus of his "Childhood Trauma" series, which is impressive considering how rarely do content creators get in touch with writers of old shows.
• In the fourth part of Childhood Trauma, Adam revealed that his song "Fragments" from his band An Unkindness is going to be covered on Blondie's new album Pollinator, which is both amazing and surprising considering that someone like them could acknowledge Adam's music skills/lyrical content.
• His hour long side by side analysis on the problems of the 2013 remake of Oldboy with a comparison praise of the 2003 film. Holy shit. From pointing out the sheer lack of care that were placed in replicating scenes of the original and failing to understand the point in the 2013 remake to tearing Spike Lee a new one over how little he cared about the remake and pointing out how the remake is a terrible disservice to not just the original, but all foreign cinema in general. His usage of clips promoting the 2013 film while showing all its failings and lack of care makes it better, complete with Park Chan-wook himself stating in an interview he never even saw the remake of his own film.
• As Adam was planning his upcoming review of The Lion King (2019), he decided to look into Kimba the White Lion in order to remain informed for when he would simply make a few short comments regarding the infamous "Disney plagiarized Kimba" controversy that had gone on for decades. Instead, this led him into a long journey for months of him sitting through every single piece of Kimba-related media. The result? An over two hour long video where he simply tears apart all of the rumors, false comparisons, misinformation and lies that people have been making regarding the controversy and how most of it was simply spread by people who had not even bothered watching either work properly. And just to further spite those who had knowingly made many infamous "comparison" videos of Kimba and The Lion King that were devoid of context, he then decided to make a similar slideshow of his own, comparing Kimba to the far earlier comic book Simba: King of The Beasts where he too would facetiously make similar accusations. In other words, he became a full-on expert on all things Kimba just to dismantle a highly misinformed theory and set straight the people who believe it. In the middle of working on a separate project. And he successfully and single-handedly destroyed the movement, reducing it to a rare few stubborn people.
  Caddicarus: This is the greatest and most detailed "Well, ACTUALLY..." I've ever seen.
  • One of the top comments on the video:
  "I love how you became the world's leading authority on Kimba out of pure spite."
• His absolutely scathing "The Reason You Suck" Speech towards the filmmakers of I'm Just Here for the Riot, a documentary about the 2011 Vancouver Hockey Riots, for completely failing to critically look at the riot and see it as a dumb and silly moment in Canadian history, - instead presenting it as a serious tragedy on the scale of September 11th or the January 6th Capitol Hill riots, for presenting people saying stupid things completely uncritically and unironically, and above all else, for presenting people who took part in the riots and did property damage and stole things from businesses as being sympathetic purely because people very justifiedly made fun of how stupid they were being.
  Adum: When you include quotes like ("this is the most embarrassed I've ever felt to be Canadian"), you have the opportunity as filmmakers to be critical of those things. You have the opportunity to get interviews of people who could go into the psychology of people who think this is literally the worst thing to happen to Canada". When you present these quotes in your documentary uncritically, it makes you AS stupid as the people who decided to riot over a hockey game that they were not even playing! You are no longer making a documentary about the stupidity of this event, you are actively participating in it! You are continuing the fucking legacy by making something so fucking tone deaf that anybody outside of Canada would look at this and laugh their fucking asses off!!!!
