Bottom - How's it going.
Welcome to the TV Tropes page for One Movie Later, where Tony Goldmark and some of his friends compare and contrast their preconceptions and postconceptions of movies in theaters now. Or, at least in theaters when the episodes were originally recorded.
What started as a way of informally constructing reviews of theme park-related films that Tony of Some Jerk with a Camera fame wanted to film solo blogs of slowly but surely turned into something bigger. Every episode covers a movie that either has theme parks as a crucial element or inspiration for it or is part of a franchise that has some sort of connection to the theme parks, typically the Disney Theme Parks or Universal Studios. Starting with his review of Tomorrowland, the show gained its familiar format.
Tony opens the show with a mini-video essay discussing everything on his mind concerning the film before going in, discussing things such as the film and franchise's history, anything relevant with the actors or director or cultural discourse of the film, and what connections the film or franchise have with the theme parks themselves. After him and his guests for that episode watch the movie, they sit down and give their initial thoughts on what they saw, with tons of tangents in the process. Each episode closes off with the segment "What's the Attraction?", where everyone pitches their absurd ideas to incorporate the film they just saw into the theme parks.
The final episode of the show was their review of The Rise of Skywalker released in January 2020. Shortly afterwards, the COVID-19 Pandemic made the show infeasible, putting the show on hold for a while. As of today, the show is on indefinite hiatus, as Tony Goldmark has committed his full time to producing episodes of his podcast Escape from Vault Disney!, which means any video-based content from his other shows will not arrive anytime soon.

One Movie Later contains examples of:
- Artistic License – Ornithology: He Facepalms at Will Smith's Genie singing the line "When it comes to exotic type mammals..." while presenting a flock of ostriches during his video on Aladdin (2019).
- Early-Installment Weirdness: The first two episodes filmed in 2013 are completely different from the rest of the series. Instead of being him and his friends, only Tony is present. The film footage is more unedited, raw and darkly lit, suggesting a more informal setup. Eventually, once the show was revived to its more familiar setup in 2015, the friends were added and the presentation became more high-effort, especially with how more detailed the preconceptions segment became.
- I Was Just Joking: In the introduction of his review of Toy Story 4, he distinctly recalls how he joked over a decade beforehand that someday Pixar will make audiences feel empathy for a plastic fork. He then pleads that he was only kidding.
- "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer: In his Wonder Park video, he points out the ridiculousness of naming a film about an amusement park "Amusement Park", which was Wonder Park's working title.
- Overly Long Gag: In his video
on Cats, Tony and friends' review consists almost entirely of screaming, uninterrupted, for three and a half minutes. - Running Gag: Every episode on either a Mary Poppins-themed (Saving Mr. Banks, Mary Poppins Returns) or Will Smith (Aladdin (2019)) movie uses DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s performance of "Supercallifragilisticexpialidocious" as the cold open.
