Trivia / Cinematic Excrement

Go To

  • Creator Backlash: While introducing Gigli, a film reviewed almost three years after initiating a plan in 2018 to review every Worst Picture Razzie winner in chronological order, he remarked that he now considered the idea "in hindsight, possibly misguided". While introducing The Love Guru, which he reviewed around seven months later, he started the video visibly exhausted, called his plan "seemingly neverending", and admitted that the years of reviewing horrible movies had taken their toll on him.
  • Follow the Leader: Smeghead stated in a Daily Dot article about his series that he was inspired to start Cinematic Excrement through The Spoony Experiment.
  • Milestone Celebration:
  • Missing Episode: Averted in that, despite a large number of his episodes being removed or region-locked on YouTube (such as the second part of his Ready to Rumble review for using footage of WCW matches), the entire series is backed up on his Vimeo account... except for Episode 53 (his review of The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach!), which was removed from both his YouTube and Vimeo accounts after it came to light in April 2018 that the late Justin "JewWario" Carmical (whom Sean made the video as a tribute to) was a sexual predator.
  • Referenced by...: In his review of "Atlantis SquarePantis", The Mysterious Mr. Enter takes note of how David Bowie guest-stars in the episode. After stating this, the "Celebrities who needed a paycheck" counter pops up. Mr. Enter then even starts snarking at the counter, much like Smeghead would do.
    Mr. Enter: Hey, go back to Cinematic Excrement! I prefer to use my own jokes, thank you.
    Counter: Fuck you.
  • Schedule Slip: New episodes are monthly, but in 2022, Sean spent a three-month stretch only making vlogs reviewing new movies, explaining that he had caught COVID-19 and moved to a new home.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • He tried to get on Channel Awesome, but was unsuccessful. Following the site's misfortunes after the revelations made about it from March to April 2018, he doesn't regret this at all, as stated in his review of Plan 9 from Outer Space.
    • Had the copy of The Adventures of Ford Fairlane he ordered arrived first, he would've reviewed that film before Ghosts Can't Do It.note
