Recap / The Reviewers S1E6 "New Castle"

Go To

In an effort to woo Andy into becoming her new client, Caroline steals him a new house!


"New Castle" provides examples of:

  • Insane Troll Logic: Andy thinks that every Dracula movie failed since 1931 and it was because Castle Dracula always looked different in sequels and other adaptations.
  • Insufferable Imbecile: Andy thinks that the 1931 Dracula movie was the only good Dracula film because it was the only film he has seen and he has only seen the still shots. He also wanted to tear down walls for his Transmorphers review, later wants to tear it down because a Troll on the internet mocked him and he didn't know that his own character is named after C. Thomas Howell.
  • Karma Houdini: As far as we know, no repercussions fall on anyone (Caroline, Michelle, Andy and Jeff) for Caroline essentially threatening the owner of the house to give her his house to her at gun point without a mask.
  • Martial Arts and Crafts: Space-Lancer Steve is a master in "Review Kato."
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: Downplayed. While it was all just an act, Caroline claims that she vents her pent-up psychosis by killing homeless people and she spared the old homeowner because "daddy really liked white people".
  • Rat King: One of the characters in Jeff's show is the noble mouse King Colby-Jack II, a Rat Folk alien king who helps Steve get an oil change in return for a review of Black Brigade.
  • Recycled Set: Parodied and In-Universe. Apparently Caroline made sure that the house she stole had the same looking basement as Andy's set because she's "as big a fan of continuity" as him. Later, The Rickhead makes a big deal about how the bricks only look a center off. Since Andy Can't Take Criticism, he has a panic attack and declares they have to demolish the entire wall.
  • Serious Business: The brick wall in the basement. Andy claims that he would have declined the house if the brick wall in the basement was off even by a little. Later, The Rickhead points this out and uses it to bash Andy for it, leading to Andy wanting to demolish the wall and start over again.
  • Skewed Priorities: Andy wants to knock down the brick wall in the basement because The Rickhead complained about it.
