3	'''Focus:''' Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014
4
5	'''Tagline:''' The [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd Nerd]] and Critic take on the Creator/MichaelBay mess-terpeice.
6	----
7	* ActuallyPrettyFunny: One scene both Critic and Nerd could agree on that was fun is the elevator ride as the Turtles have a bit of an impromptu jam session.
8	* AmusingInjuries: April (played by Tamara) suffers these throughout the episode, usually via explosions (although toward the end she's buried by falling debris and in the intro she crashes a car).
9	* CallBack:
10	** At the training montage, the Nerd wishes one of the things slashed by the Turtles for training was the VHS of ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIII'' -- which he did at the end of his review of said film.
11	** "''Film/SpaceJam'' [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten still fucking sucks!]]"
12	* CatchPhrase: Joked about in the intro, wherein Critic actually shouts "Catchphrase!" at one point. Also, April has "What a story/scoop!" and Santa Christ has "The Christ has spoken!"
13	* {{Crossover}}: With WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd, marking his first appearance in years, as well as his very first in a canonical ''Nostalgia Critic'' episode.
14	* DeadlineNews: A running gag with April, who keeps getting distracted by potential stories, usually leading to her getting blown up.
15	* DistressedDamsel: April, of course.
16	* EnemyMine: As much as they disagree with many things, both the Critic and the Nerd agree on one thing -- they ''love'' TMNT, which brings them to this review.
17	* GagSub: During one of the times the Shredder speaks GratuitousJapanese, the added on subtitles point out his lips aren't moving.
18	* LampshadeHanging: Throughout the review, Critic and Nerd take jabs at all the other terrible adaptations that TMNT have had over years. They come to the conclusion that TMNT has always been MerchandiseDriven and this film isn't even technically the [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIII worst film in the franchise.]]
19	* TheMentor: Santa Christ filling the role of Splinter.
20	* MerchandiseDriven: The guys learn the hard way that the Heart of the Turtles is just to sell more merchandise.
21	* RunningGag: April [[AmusingInjuries getting injured]], usually by explosions.
22	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When the Critic and the Nerd were swimming in [[ThatOneLevel the infamous Dam]]...
23	--> '''Critic''': ''(upon seeing the seaweed hallway)'' Oh, HELL NO!
24	--> '''Nerd''': FUCK THAT NOISE!
25	* SpecialEditionTitle: The opening theme is a recreation of that of the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 1987 cartoon]], with both the Critic and the Nerd dubbed the "Thirty Something Nerdy Critics".
