** Quarter-Star Moment

to:

** Quarter-Star MomentMoment: The hosts do not use a traditional movie rating system because the assumption is that all movies they review deserve zero stars in such a system. However, James will often say that if a Tiradesverse movie had done some hypothetical thing, or added a hypothetical line, he would have given it a quarter of a star in a traditional movie rating system. The sentiment being that it would have been a really awesome bright spot that earned it that fraction of a star in an otherwise atrocious movie.

* AprilFoolsDay: Episode 5 of the show--the hosts claimed beforehand that it would be a review of ''Film/TheRoom'', but because the episode was slated to be released on April Fool's Day, they spent one hour, one minute and one second (1:01:01--"lolol") purposely just talking about random stuff. They would go on to actually review ''The Room'' the next month in Episode 6.

* RunningGag: Too many to list, but one of the most prominent is "No one will like your character just because..." Another common one is the "Quarter-Star Moment."

to:

* RunningGag: Too many InUniverse:
* RunningGag
**A joke for three people
**Fireball: One of two ways that can be used
to list, but one of describe how an unexplainable event in a bad movie occurred. (The other is orbital wobble.) The joke is that there is no explanation given at all. All that is said is "Fireball" and the most prominent hosts move on. The origin of this is "No the movie, ''Film/StreetFighterTheLegendofChunLi'' where Chun-Li is able to create a fireball with no explanation as to how.
**Flower-giving protocol
**Great Band Name
**Guy Banter: A catch-all term the hosts use to describe a male character that represents the worst that the male gender has to offer.
**"How will my face?"
**Iridium
**"No
one will like your character just because..." Another common "
**Orbital wobble: The second of two phrases the hosts will use to get past mammoth plot holes in bad movies. The joke is that because the plot hole is so bad that there is no possible way they could ever try to explain it,
one is of the "Quarter-Star Moment."hosts will simply say "orbital wobble" and they will move on. The origin of this term is from ''Film/HighlanderTheSource'', where Methos tells Reggie Weller that planets leaving their orbits and hovering towards Earth is just the optical illusion known informally as "orbital wobble." Basically, it is so utterly stupid, the hosts had to adopt it into their terminology.
