** The series retrospective ended with him looking at the show’s crossover with ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'', however Phelous has very little experience with ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', and this from a season before the franchise adopted the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' model of each season being a new start. Given these factors one might expect Phelous to just review the epsidoes as they are and just used wikis and recap videos to fill in the blanks. Instead, Phelous wanting to ensure his criticisms are as fair and accurate as possible he elects to watch not only the entirety of ''In Space'' but also '''the five prior seasons.''' This amasses to a total of 293 episodes [[Film/TurboAPowerRangersMovie and a theatrical film]] for the sake of being as thorough as possible, now that’s some dedication!

* Phelous' brutal calling out of ''Film/WrongTurn5Bloodlines'', from the IdiotPlot to the pointless scenes to the KarmaHoudini moment. He goes as far as to predict that the sequels will involve the Hillbillies going to an army base and killing the soldiers, going to the moon and blowing up the planet, and finally going into space and killing the aliens despite the aliens having the superior firepower.

* He gives ''Film/PromNightIIITheLastKiss'' a pretty good tearing apart. In particular, he calls out [[EightDeadlyWords how unlikable the cast is]] (Alex is a DesignatedHero who helps cover up murder, cheats on his girlfriend, and is all but stated to have [[BrotherSisterIncest fucked his sister]] in the past, Sarah is a LoveMartyr, and Mary Lou, who was introduced in her [[Film/HelloMaryLouPromNightII first appearance]] as a [[EvilIsPetty petty villain]] who was only concerned about winning Prom Queen again and [[ReallyGetsAround doesn't care too much for commitment]], has had her [[CharacterDerailment character derailed]] into a StalkerWithACrush {{Yandere}} for Alex). He even says the DownerEnding loses its impact because the cast is so unlikable that it feels cathartic. This is pretty poignant considering that while he admits it's [[{{Camp}} campy]] and full of plotholes he actually enjoyed ''Film/HelloMaryLouPromNightII'' at least on some level.

** Because so little happens in ''Film/TheTimeMachineIFoundAtAYardsale'' and the green-screening is so bad, nearly half of the review is devoted to Phelous imitating its use of Google Image screenshots for backgrounds. It's impressive how much better he is at it (thanks to things like "lighting" and "proper understanding of how to edit a film").
*** To make fun of the fact that the film used a standard font from Adobe Premier, Phelous uses ''the exact same font'' throughout the review

* Phelan, [[Creator/AllisonPregler Alison]] and [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob Brad]] all deserve equal props for their {{WesternAnimation/Foodfight}} review. The first five or so minutes of Part 1 consists of them talking about the troubled production of the film in greater detail than any reviewer before them, including a list of what sponsors dropped from the film and clips from the film's original trailer. They also manage to point out some quirks of the film that may not be immediately obvious (such as the voice actor for the Count Chocula expy improving his lines, the fact that the 'floating' soda bottle Dex is riding on was actually attached by a string in the original cut, and the color schemes for certain characters being switched around). This whole review is a giant case of them [[ShownTheirWork showing their work]].
