* {{Fanservice}}: Discussed several times when films use attractive actresses, but he notes when it merely seems to be an attempt to save face, such as with ''Film/{{The Other Woman|2014}}'', [[BrokenAesop which tried to send a female empowerment message but cast Kate Upton in a major role and gave her a bikini scene]].

* {{Corpsing}}:[[invoked]] Does it quite a lot after cracking a joke or explaining an absurd plot point in a film.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Chris {{invoke|dTrope}}s this in his review of ''Film/AlexCross'', as he despises its attempts to create drama and family bondage, which only come off as unhealthily sappy and melodramatic.

* CausticCritic: He becomes this when he’s talking about an exceptionally bad film.

In July 2021, it was announced that Stuckmann had signed with production company Paper Street Pictures to write and direct his debut feature film, a horror film titled ''Shelby Oaks'' based on the Paranormal Paranoids, a fictional mid-2000s U.S. paranormal investigative team. The film was slated to enter production in 2021, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H4nC8GcuYc&ab_channel=ChrisStuckmann as Stuckmann explained in February 2022]], plans were postponed as a result of the since-averted IATSE strike. [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/abkoontz/shelby-oaks-a-horror-feature-film-from-chris-stuckmann A Kickstarter campaign]] started in March of that year to secure additional budgeting ultimately raising a historic $1,390,845 -- over a million dollars more than its initial $250,000 goal. The film was shot in 28 days between May and June 2022 and is currently in post-production, slated for release in July 2023.

Stuckmann also announced in July that he would be retiring regular movie reviews with graded scores, instead shifting towards giving unscored reviews for movies he wants to draw attention and support to, as well as videos tailored toward people seeking information on making films. However, he eventually began giving unscored reviews of new releases as well.

* AtomicFBomb: In his ''Nine Lives'' review, after pointing out the film’s decision to have the characters [[WhatAnIdiot put a cat’s food right next to its litter box]], he sums up his feelings with an epic '''“WHAT THE FUCK?!”'''

* CatharticExhalation: At one point in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hiy7yUTeV0Y review]] of ''Film/NineLives2016'', after going on an [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness uncharacteristic]] rant about how much he hates the film after talking about how the cat owners in the film put a cat's litter box ''[[WhatAnIdiot right next to its food]]'', Chris exhales sharply before quietly saying "I'm actually physically sweating, I'm -- I'm physically sweating."

* KindheartedCatLover: Chris likes cats since he owns one, which is why he held a special torch of hatred to ''Nine Lives'' due to its idiotic portrayal of caring for a cat (putting the litter box ''[[WhatAnIdiot right next to the food]]'', for one), and for one scene involving two security guards that decide it would be funny to tase a cat.

Stuckmann is also both an approved Website/RottenTomatoes critic and member of the Critics Choice Association. In 2014, he was added to [[Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Channel Awesome]], but parted ways with them in April 2018.

* EightDeadlyWords: One of the many issues he had with the 2019 remake of ''Film/{{Black Christmas|2019}}'' is that he found the majority of the characters, including most of the main protagonists, deeply unlikable.
-->'''Chris:''' [Riley] is pretty much the only character in the film that you can feel some sympathy for because you understand where she's coming from and you side with her because [[RapeAsBackstory that's]] fucked up. But everyone else in the movie is basically an asshole. People just walk around and treat everybody like shit; the women talk about the men poorly, the men talk about the women poorly. There's like two nice people in the movie.
