* CowboyBeBopatHisComputer: In a particularly baffling CriticalResearchFailure, in the ''Cats'' episode Jason continually refers to the protagonist Victoria as being played by Cynthia Erivo. Though many performers had their names attached to the film, Erivo was not involved at all, and Victoria was actually played by dancer Francesca Hayward, who bears little resemblance to Erivo.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: Invoked. Paul has stated that a telltale sign of a bad movie is when the movie doesn't even reach ninety minutes. For example, Film/LakePlacid is a paltry 83 minutes with credits included (and according to the hosts, ''still'' feels too long).

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: [[invoked]]In the review of ''Film/MaximumOverdrive'', they mention how Creator/StephenKing has said he did so much cocaine while making that movie, he doesn't remember doing it. They say cocaine is no excuse, given every movie made in the 1970s, with the exception of ''Film/HeavensGate.''

You Keep Using That Word is only about characters being called out In Universe for misusing a word.


* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Fans have consistently pointed out the hosts' overuse of the word "literally", and even made videos of how often they use it (and most often incorrectly). One even [[http://blog.earwolf.com/post/18455299797 made a graph]]. In their ClipShow episode, they note that they've probably only ever used it correctly ''once''.
