* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: While the effort to port previous seasons of "Monster Madness" to Youtube from Jame's old site was very appreciated, the decision to replace implemented video clips, with still shots for copyright reasons in the review was ''very'' divisive; especially since they often affect the flow of the script. He would later upload compilations that kept the original clips.

* HilariousInHindsight: In his ''[=GodzillaThon=]'' review for ''Film/KingKongVsGodzilla'', he states that, despite his dislike for unnecessary film remakes, he would love to see the two face off again but with the benefit of modern special effects. About seven years later, ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' was announced by Creator/WarnerBros and Creator/LegendaryPictures.

* SeasonalRot: A few of the later yearly Monster Madnesses have a more mixed reception, usually due to changing drastically from the formula due to the inclusion of other people. In particular, "Monster Madness 9", due to being more of a podcast-like format between James and Creator/MikeMatei for most of the episodes rather than James alone discussing the films, "Monster Madness 2019", for the similar reason of using the "Rental Reviews" cast and format, and the 2021 revival season "Around the World", due to the scripts being written by a committee, making the reviews seem disingenuous (as well playing a big part causing a major plagiarism kerfuffle when one of the writers was exposed as having copied most of his material from several other sources).

* HarsherInHindsight: For ''Around the World'', a good chunk of the movies reviewed are mocked for being ripoffs of other horror films. Starting with the ''Film/TwentyEightDaysLater'' episode, however, accusations of plagiarism in the script of this review began to surface. The production team would later admit upfront that the script writer for said episode had indeed been engaging in plagiarism for not only that review, but several other episodes he had worked on, resulting in his firing and good chunk of the series having to be hastily rewritten on short notice.
