YMMV / Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews

• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: A large portion of his audience is from Germany, as mentioned in his Felidae review, where he (barely) resists the urge to do a Nazi joke to not piss them off. He was later mentioned in an online article by German news magazine Der Spiegel, which gained him a huge number of new subscribers, and made a video thanking the magazine and his German viewers in general for their support.
• Heartwarming Moments:
  • His ending tribute to Doug McClure, which sounds off with "keep fighting that big rubber dinosaur in the sky'' over a soaring cover of Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold" (before being muted for copyright claims).
  • Has another one when he defends Orson Welles for appearing as Unicron in The Transformers: The Movie - how many actors' final roles are in movies still remembered and talked about decades later?
  • He makes clear that he has nothing but respect for Raymond Burr for his appropriately dramatic return as Steve Martin in the American cut of The Return of Godzilla and using his clout to make the film remain serious when the producers originally wanted to make it a borderline Gag Dub.
• He Panned It, Now He Sucks!: Brandon got some flak for insulting the soundtrack for The Transformers: The Movie.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • In his Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster review, Brandon makes a joke about how the '60s were the only era where Carlton Banks could've ever won a dancing competition. Flash forward to afterwards and Carlton's actor, Alfonso Ribeiro, has won Dancing with the Stars.
  • The fact that five of the movies he's reviewed (Starcrash, The Land That Time Forgot, At the Earth's Core, Doctor Mordrid, and The Shape of Things to Come) ended up on Mystery Science Theater 3000, one of his biggest influences.
  • In his Doctor Strange (1978) review, Brandon mocks the choice of Morgan le Fay as the villain, comparing it to using The Spot as a villain in a Spider-Man film. Guess who's the major antagonist in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse?
• Just Here for Godzilla: Or Godzilla reviews, to be precise. He regularly notes just how many comments he gets on his videos to review Godzilla movies, to the point of having three fakeouts during his Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky review.
