Stuckmann first got into film criticism in his teenage years, but has been a lover of film his entire life. He has cited Creator/RogerEbert as his chief influence for pursuing the former, and credits the experiences of watching ''Film/{{Signs}}'', ''Film/MinorityReport'' and ''Film/SpiderMan1'' in theaters as a teenager for igniting his passion for filmmaking. In his twenties, he unearthed the community of film critics on [=YouTube=], and the rest is history.

* WTHCastingAgency: [[invoked]]This is his reaction to Creator/KevinSpacey starring in ''Nine Lives''. As he summarizes in his "Worst Movies of 2016" video:
-->'''Chris:''' I'm looking at a movie directed by Creator/BarrySonnenfeld, the guy who made ''Film/MenInBlack'', and starring Kevin Spacey and Creator/ChristopherWalken and I'm wondering... ''why'' this film about [[ClicheStorm a guy who gets turned into a cat]] exists? How did this happen?

* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: In his review of ''Film/AliensVsPredatorRequiem'', Chris notes how the original ''Film/AlienVsPredator'' got controversy for being rated PG-13, leading to ''Requiem'' having an excessive amount of violence and gore to get back its R rating. He comments that normally R-rated action series that release a PG-13-rated installment get flak, causing the creators of ''their'' sequels to ramp up the objectionable content to return to a R rating, although it does not make a better film; Chris cited ''Film/{{Alien}}'' and ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' as examples of good R-rated movies that don’t rely solely on violence. Additionally, ''Film/LiveFreeOrDieHard'' and ''Film/AGoodDayToDieHard'' were used as examples of how increasing a film’s MPAA rating does not ensure better quality; although people were surprised that ''Live Free'' was PG-13, Chris still enjoyed the movie, while he absolutely hated the R-rated ''A Good Day to Die Hard''.
