** The most memorable and frightening scenes take place in Harry's creepy, dilapidated basement; contents include a plastic bin, several piles of various debris, a refrigerator containing flesh eating cockroaches, more than one human skeleton, one or more living victims to be occasionally tormented by Plinkett, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a Titanic promotional popcorn tub]].

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: A list of various fictional protagonists... and Creator/KevinBacon.
** Plinketts list of types of New Media includes "the zoo".
** ''Baby's Day Out'' as the modern-day take on Film/TheThreeStooges: There's the slightly smarter one that's in charge, there's the dumb one, and lastly the guy that was in ''Film/TheMatrix''. [[BigWhat Whaaaaa?]]
** In a visual twist on this, when showing how a protagonist "often gets the girl in the end as icing on the cake", he shows four clips of pairs kissing... last of which is Charlie hugging Willy Wonka.
** Likewise, James Cameron's fifth wife is a Na'vi.
** A very telling comparison of Indiana Jones' adversaries and their on-screen crimes. Spalko's dossier says, "Patriot, Hero of Socialist Labor."
** In his ''Cop Dog'' review, he names a series of dog based children's film titles. One of these is ''[[Film/GhostDogTheWayOfTheSamurai Ghost Dog]]''.
** In the Episode III review, Plinkett mentions how a long, uncut computer-generated shot is no longer impressive, since entire movies are made by computers without real actors these days. As examples, he shows ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'', and ''[[TakeThat Transformers]]''.



* Administrivia/TropesAreTools: While acknowledging many good filmmakers stray away from traditional structure, Plinkett argues that Lucas shouldn't have for the Star Wars prequels. Credits classic Star Wars characters for being memorable partly by fullfilling certain archetypes like the HerosJourney, FishOutOfWater, LoveableRogue, DamselInDistress, TheMentor, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers gay robots]].

* AnAesop: Plinkett dispenses several of these over the course of reviewing the prequel trilogy, but at the end of the ''Revenge of the Sith'' review, and as the very last line of the review proper, he distills everything he's said into a single sentence:
-->'''Plinkett:''' And in the end, all the computers in the world can't generate the most basic thing that a movie needs: an emotional connection with the audience.

** ''Cat Cop''. [[{{Tagline}} He's a cat....and a cop....whatever]].
* CausticCritic: Mr. Plinkett criticizes a lot of the movies he reviews. It's deconstructed because he is not a very nice person outside his reviews either.

* QuestionableCasting:[[invoked]] Plinkett delivers one for the casting of Creator/SamuelLJackson as Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequels. While Jackson excels at playing bad motherfuckers who yell, curse and beat people, he is utterly ill-suited for the role of a wise and serene Jedi Master. Plinkett suggests that Creator/MorganFreeman, Creator/ForestWhitaker and Creator/SidneyPoitier would have been better choices if Lucas wanted an African American actor to play a Jedi, but none of them has Jackson's box office appeal.

* RidiculouslyHighRelationshipStandards: In his ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' review, he claims that women's list of what they look out from men is a bit longer that a list men look from women. Cue a woman listing all the things she looks from men until Plinkett interrupts her.
