Simply Put; The name does not describe what this trope is about in any meaningful way and that is surely the single biggest sin that a title can commit. I'm willing to bet that, if you have never seen one of the Nostalgia Critics videos, you will literally have no clue as to what the heck that references (especially since the film that spawned the name is already pretty obscure in the first place) and what it involves. I'm not sure as to what name could replace it as I'm really not good at that sort of thing but seeing as it is basically a variation of the Non-Sequitur trope wouldn't something along the lines of Forgotten Non-Sequitur make a lot more sense?

Declining to open; OP doesn't provide any evidence that the name is broken or needs fixing beyond "I don't get it". It has over 3300 wick and nearly 10,000 inbounds as well as three redirects. This requires substantial evidence of misuse beyond "I think it's a bad name."
