20	''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/StitchedTogetherPics Boots to Reboots]]'' is an online series featuring a mentally ill patient named Andy, also known as the Maniacal Cinephile, who reviews reboots and remakes of classic horror films to determine their fates. He is accompanied by two split personalities: Good Andy, a childish version of himself, and Evil Andy, a psychopathic, malevolent representation.

22	----
23	!!This web series provides examples of:
24	* AbusiveParents: Andy's mother was an emotionally abusive drunk. He still keeps her severed head around, who still continuously insults him.
25	* AllMenArePerverts: Evil Andy definitely loves the women featured in horror films.
26	* ArcVillain:
27	** [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]] forces Andy to watch the [[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet2010 2010 remake of his film]] before trying to kill him. He later manipulates [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]] into helping him kill Andy through the Necronomicon featured in the ''Evil Dead'' series.
28	** [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]] has Andy {{review}} Rob Zombie's take on his franchise against his will.
29	** [[Franchise/ChildsPlay Chucky]] tricks Andy into reviewing the [[Film/ChildsPlay2019 2019 remake of his first movie]] and giving it the boot, then tries to possess him.
30	* AxCrazy: Unsurprisingly, Evil Andy has several instances of being unhinged.
31	* BarefootLoon: Andy does not wear any shoes, which compliments his status as a mentally-ill patient.
32	* BeardOfEvil: Evil Andy due in part to sharing Andy's body. And he is very malicious.
33	* BigBadDuumvirate: Freddy and Jason team up in the review of the 2009 ''Film/{{Friday the 13th\|2009}}''. Freddy got Jason to work for him under the promise of resurrecting his mother with the Book of the Dead.
34	* BlackComedyRape: Andy sticks his finger through a bagel's hole resulting in its "death."
35	* ButtMonkey: Dr. Oddcoitus is often the victim of Andy and his split personalities. For instance, he was trapped in Andy's house for a good duration of the web show's run.
36	* {{Catchphrase}}: "Hello and welcome to ''Boots to Reboots'', the place where most reboots go to die."
37	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Andy and Good Andy lament the death of [[Film/PetSematary1989 Gage]] during their review of the ''Film/{{Pet Sematary\|2019}}'' 2019 remake while Evil Andy is only concerned that the truck driver ruined a great song.
38	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Andy was disfigured when a cup of scalding hot nachos and cheese was tossed at him. From there, he spent ten years in a mental institution where his other two personalities were created, thus turning him into the Maniacal Cinephile.
39	* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Any one of the three versions of Andy might die in a review, yet show up perfectly fine next time. For example, in the ''Film/HalloweenII2009'' episode, Good Andy falls victim to [[Film/HalloweenIIISeasonOfTheWitch the Silver Shamrock commercial]] and is killed, but shows up perfectly fine in later reviews.
40	* DealWithTheDevil: The Devil attempts to make one with Good Andy during the review of the remake, ''Film/Bedazzled2000''.
41	* DemonicPossession: Evil Andy gets possessed in the review of the ''Evil Dead'' remake.
42	* DisneyVillainDeath: Discussed in the reboot of ''Film/{{Dredd}}'' when Judge Dredd tosses Ma-Ma to her death. Perpetuated when Andy inserts himself in Ma-Ma's place and slowly falls.
43	* DrivenToSuicide: Happens once per episode. Usually whenever Andy is watching an excruciating moment from a remake.
44	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Evil Andy cries over a death in Music/RobZombie's ''Film/HalloweenII2009'', but he [[InsistentTerminology asserts that he was merely constipated]].
45	* EvilSoundsDeep: Evil Andy has this to further accentuate that he is, in fact, not a nice guy, in stark contrast to Good Andy's high-pitched and childish voice.
46	* {{Flanderization}}: Evil Andy started off as [[KnightOfCerebus ominous and creepy]], and generally being TheQuietOne a lot of the time to establish an aura of menace while getting a good barb in once or twice. His status as the evil personality and his snark were increasingly focused on, resulting in him turning into a LargeHam [[{{Jerkass}} who generally acts like a petty, hedonistic jerk]] and [[SerialKiller has a body count in the double digits]]. [[LaughablyEvil As a result, he became absolutely hilarious.]]
47	* FreudianExcuse: The Maniacal Cinephile was sentenced to ten years in an institution after the traumatizing experience he had at the movie theater. Worse, his family celebrated the fact.
48	* FriendToAllLivingThings: Good Andy completely adores animals to the point that he dreads the inevitable trope of having an animal get killed as a cheap scare.
49	* HalloweenEpisode:
50	** His two-part review of Rob Zombie's remakes of John Carpenter's films. He also tries to escape Michael Myers himself when Myers forces him to review the sequel.
51	** His review of ''Trick r Treat'' even includes Sam himself almost killing Andy when Evil Andy used the money to buy booze.
52	* TheHedonist: Evil Andy loves nothing more than to drink, rob stores, etc.
53	* HideTheEvidence: After Andy "kills" a bagel, he cuts it to pieces in the bathtub before flushing the remains down the drain.
54	* InsaneEqualsViolent: Andy is mentally ill with Dissociative Identity Disorder, and he's murderously violent (or at least Evil Andy is).
55	* {{Jerkass}}: Evil Andy, unsurprisingly, mistreats the real Andy and his good half and is borderline hedonistic and uncaring of how others feel.
56	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: However, Evil Andy does show signs of caring underneath all the bullying, for example when he chips in to give Andy a new pair of boots...somehow.
57	* KickTheDog: Good Andy hates this trope as it entails that any animal he grew to care for would get unceremoniously killed.
58	* LaughablyEvil: Evil Andy is a cannibalistic, hedonistic serial killer, but he's also absolutely hilarious.
59	* MadnessMantra: In his review of the remake of ''The Mummy'', when Rick O'Connell refers to himself as the map, Andy starts singing the "Map Song" from ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' repeatedly before blowing his brains out.
60	* [[DaddyIssues Mommy Issues]]: Andy had this with his mother at some point...to the point that he keeps her shrunken head around.
61	* NiceGuy: Unsurprisingly, Good Andy is sweet, well-intentioned, and just wants everyone to get along.
62	* OnlySaneMan: The main Andy plays the StraightMan to his split personalities' antics.
63	* OverlyLongGag: Andy goes on a long skit trying to understand what's so funny about "Women be shoppin'".
64	* TheReveal: Despite his belief that he had Oddcoitus imprisoned in his home, it is revealed that Oddcoitus had long since retired and he was never held captive. Andy had stopped taking his medication which nearly dooms him because that meant that Freddy was coming for him.
65	* SeeYouInHell: Said by Freddy Krueger in Andy's review of the ''A Nightmare On Elm Street'' reboot before he gets crushed underneath Andy's boot.
66	-->'''Freddy:''' I'll see you in Hell!\
67	'''Evil Andy:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner Tell them that Andy sent ya!]]
68	* SerialKiller: Evil Andy has the tendency to kill people, one instance being where he killed the neighbor to take his pool, or when he hunted down and ripped the arm off the man who threw the cheesy nachos at him.
69	** Andy also has the habit of skinning people and keeping body parts.
70	** His review of the anthology film ''Film/TrickRTreat'' briefly mentions that Evil Andy has killed roughly around forty people.
71	*** Besides him, there are also Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Michael Myers, who often star as the antagonists of his reviews.
72	* SirSwearsALot: Evil Andy is especially guilty of this trope, befitting his unpredictable nature.
73	* TheSociopath: Evil Andy is a hedonistic split personality who is violent and murderously insane. In nearly every episode, he either kills or maims someone, robs banks, drinks booze -- anything that stimulates him.
74	* SplitPersonality: Good Andy and Evil Andy.
75	* ToiletHumor: Happens consistently with Evil Andy being the main perpetrator.
76	----
