->''"[[InAWorld In a world]] of uncertainty, when movie theaters are plagued with remakes and sequels. In a world where big budget movies can still suck. In this world, we have The Blockbuster Buster."''
Eric "[=ERod=]" Rodriguez hosts a VideoReviewShow which involves him as a renegade film critic "busting" bad big budget Hollywood films, including disappointing entries into popular film franchises. He has his own site [[http://blockbusterbuster.angelfire.com/ here]], [[http://www.youtube.com/user/ERod2010 a YouTube channel]], [[http://blip.tv/the-blockbuster-buster a Blip.tv channel]]. He used to contribute to SpaceMonkeyMafiaStudios, but is currently featured on [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/blockbuster-buster That Guy With The Glasses]].
!!This show provides examples of:
* AccentuateTheNegative: As with most Internet reviewers, although he has admitted when a movie is not completely bad.
* [[ActingForTwo Acting For Several]]: [=ERod=] plays some {{Drop In Character}}s like Nerdlinger, El Lover, Fedora Freddy and Evil-E.
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal:
** His name "The Blockbuster Buster".
** Also at the end of every review he has an alliterative description of the movie. Usually using some thing related to the theme of the movie.
* AdultChild: Often rampages about nostalgic movies and series being ruined by Hollywood, but the biggest fact is that he still plays and voices with his dolls,I mean, action figures. Lampshaded in the Channel Awesome Holidays greetings.
* AffectionateParody / BitingTheHandHumor / TakeThat: His reviews of ''Film/{{Eragon}}'' and Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire walk the thin line between these in how he makes fun several personalities on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses. The second one was especially ballsy, given that he had just joined the site when he posted it.
* [[AllergicToLove Allergic To Girls]]: Poor Nerdlinger. He's so vulnerable to scantily clad ladies that he covers his eyes at best and downright ''faints'' at worse. He even faints at the only mention of ObscurusLupa name and poster.
* ArchEnemy: When its Halloween, [[TalesFromTheCrypt Crypty]] is not far behind. Also Evil-E and Dr. Nemesis are here. He also considers MichaelBay as his Nº1 Arch Nemesis, alongside with UweBoll and PaulWSAnderson
* AscendedFanboy: [=ERod=] admits to be a fanboy himself and started doing reviews with hopes of being part of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses and made some videos parodying the site didn't pick him yet. He eventually succeeds.
* BerserkButton: On his review of {{Catwoman}}, at the end he starts a rampage through all the other movies he had reviewed at that time.
* TheCameo: [[spoiler: Top 10 Hispanic Heroes list]] brings us [[spoiler: his first actual cameos by TheFilmRenegado and [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]]]]
* CatchPhrase:
--> "Welcome fanboys and fangirls, I'm [=ERod=] and I'm the Blockbuster Buster"
--> "Action Sequence!"
--> "WTF Mo, Fo!!"
--> "There's a metaphor somewhere here"
--> "One busted and thousands more to go. I'm [=ERod=] and I'm the Blockbuster Buster"
* CausticCritic
* ContinuityNod: Most of his episodes are conected by a story line, as well as the saga episodes (the ResidentEvil month, Halloween Havoc, Terrible Three and so on)
** Another example of this is how the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HtQIEbJXJA Top 10 Cossovers we want to see]] connects in the beginning with the Push review and the closing with Transformers 2, which starts the same way his first Transformers review started as well.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: During the Halloween Havoc event, he is forced to review ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' and ''New Moon''.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Happens for reviews with sexy females in the cast.
** The Spirit has him distracting over Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson and Paz Vega before realizing all the plot holes in the movie.
** Hannah Montana gives him Vanessa Williams.
** El Lover often gives compliments for the female characters during his prequel recaps.
** [[spoiler: Also Salma Hayek makes him forget his complaint about her role in Wild Wild West.]]
* EveryEpisodeEnding: Almost all episodes end with him destroying the reviewed movie.
* ExpositoryThemeTune
* GenderBender: Used for the Film/{{Elektra}} review, because [=ERod=] needed to explain female perspective, so he beace [=SHERod=]. He even remarked ''"she"'' was ''gorgeous''.[[spoiler: Lampshaded when Marsha rebels and reveals to the viewer she was playing him, so [=ERod=] still owed another female lead review.]]
* GratuitousSpanish: Sometimes he drops some words. More frequently by El L0ver.
** His [[spoiler: Top 10 Hispanic Heroes list]] gives us [[spoiler: a full conversation between him and Nerdlinger in spanish]].
* IronicNickname: Every time a movie is so bad or the characters are forgettable.
** The most remarkable example is for the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' Saga, Erod was so upset with the characters' names that he decided to nickname everyone: Bella Swan = Deadpan Mc-Gee, Edward = Captain Whiny-Pants, Jacob = [[TheAdventuresOfSharkboyAndLavagirl Sharkboy]], Vampires = [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Sparkling Pricks]], etc.
** In {{Catwoman}}, she apparently is "S&M Woman".
* {{Hammerspace}}: Averted, as [=ERod=] does not get his weapons out of nowhere, there always is a sequence where he gets his weapons ready. It is also presumed that the Blockbuster Buster never leaves the house without Lucile (his hammer).
** Played Straight in the AstroBoy review where is revealed that he had a "Uni-beam thing" on the chest.
* ICallItVera: His hammer is named Lucile.
* LargeHam: The Blockbuster Buster is this.
* LatinLover: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin El Lover]].
* LimitedWardrobe: While he usually wears the same jacket the t-shirt is different every time, but it is always black.
* LockAndLoadMontage: Occurs in the intro. Also an anti-vampire gear for his Twilight and VanHelsing reviews and anti-zombie equipment for ResidentEvil Afterlife.
* LovableCoward: Nerdlinger. It causes him no end of grief, since being the resident [[MisterExposition expository nerd]] makes him [=ERod's=] go-to guy for information on many franchises, including horror franchises, so he gets constantly exposed to scary stuff. Just as much as he knows about characters like the {{Terminator}} and the {{Predator}}, he can't see their movies without being on the verge of a horror-induced fainting spell.
* MisterExposition: Nerdlinger. When [=ERod=] needs to explain details about a movie's background or the plot of previous movies, he often calls on Nerdlinger to do the honors.
* {{Nerd}}: Nerdlinger, obviously. However, he's an interesting subversion in that the other characters in the show do not put him down for being a nerd. [=ERod=] himself actually calls on him to explain nerdy or fan-specific information, so he's also the show's resident [[TheSmartGuy smart guy]].
* [[OlderThanTheyLook Older Than He Looks]]: And he looks so much like he's in his 20s...
* OneOfUs: Judging by frequent [[ShoutOut shout outs]] to known tropes in his videos, including MeetCute and [[SequelDecay Sequelitis]].
* PowerTrio: [=ERod=]'s action figures make The Trinity of Awesomeness (HellBoy, [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]] and Ash).
* RunningGag: [=ERod=] uses many during his reviews. These include:
** Responding "What?" when referencing Spiky hair.
** Laughing hard everytime DakotaFanning appears in a movie (New Moon, Eclipse and Push).
** If a movie features a really bad actor, [=ERod=] will make a phone call in the middle of the review and apologize with the previous "worst actor this far" and giving the title to the current target.
** "Stan Lee Cameo~!"
*** "[[StanLee EXCELSIOR!!!]]"
* SelfDeprecation:
** The [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/blogs/myblogs/entry/the-blockbuster-buster-voicing-the-rage-of-faboys-everywhereone-film-at-a-time- staff picked reviews]] by The Blockbuster Buster included his review of ''Film/{{Eragon}}'', where the reviewer decides that since he couldn't get a spot on TGWTG, and [[Literature/InheritanceCycle the movie he's reviewing]] is a knock-off, he's just going to make sketches of all the TGWTG persona [[spoiler: and WebOriginal/TheAngryVideoGameNerd]] and parody the way they behave.
*** In the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRhXX4aTK3g commentary]], [=ERod=] explains that the sad mood at the beginning of the video was made not because of not getting into TGWTG, but because of deep financial problems. Eventually his situation got better, and meanwhile the video was his all or nothing moment.
** The ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' review does this again. This was [[WordOfGod allowed by Rob Walker]], according to the [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/blockbuster-buster/blockbuster-buster/32481-atlantis video comments]].
* SkywardScream: "[[MichaelBay "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAY"]]
* {{Squick}} / NauseaFuel: Invoked for his review of [[ChildsPlay Seed of Chucky]], everytime the movie showed scenes referring Puppet-sex.
** El Lover cursed at him for having to watch Chucky and Tiffany's sex scene during [[ChildsPlay Bride of Chucky]]'s recount.
--> "Mira, hijo de tu madre..."
** Also the opening sequence of Chucky's sperm traveling through Tiffany's uterus is so gross that [=ERod=] coudn't even reference LookWhosTalking.
** [=ERod=] had to make [[ScreamingAtSquick 3 breakdown pauses in his balcony]] (muted by the glass door) when he had to watch Chucky masturbating, holding a cup of his own semen and Tiffany impregnating JenniferTilly.
* WeaponOfChoice: Lucile the hammer, but he also has a couple of stakes, a gun, a knife and even a truck was used on one occasion. Also featuring a sledgehammer, a chainsaw and a sword.
* YouAreNotAlone: On the arc of ResidentEvil reviews each of the characters helps him do the reviews [[spoiler: while he was imprisoned, and at the end they help him fight Evil-E ]].
** He also gets encouragement from Mario, Batman, the Trinity of Awesomeness and his producer.

--> "One busted and thousands more to go. I'm [=ERod=] and I'm the Blockbuster Buster"
* CausticCritic
* ContinuityNod: Most of his episodes are conected by a story line, as well as the saga episodes (the ResidentEvil month, Halloween Havoc, Terrible Three and so on)
** Another example of this is how the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HtQIEbJXJA Top 10 Cossovers we want to see]] connects in the beginning with the Push review and the closing with Transformers 2, which starts the same way his first Transformers review started as well.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: During the Halloween Havoc event, he is forced to review ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' and ''New Moon''.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Happens for reviews with sexy females in the cast.
** The Spirit has him distracting over Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson and Paz Vega before realizing all the plot holes in the movie.
** Hannah Montana gives him Vanessa Williams.
** El Lover often gives compliments for the female characters during his prequel recaps.
** [[spoiler: Also Salma Hayek makes him forget his complaint about her role in Wild Wild West.]]
* EveryEpisodeEnding: Almost all episodes end with him destroying the reviewed movie.
* ExpositoryThemeTune
* GenderBender: Used for the Film/{{Elektra}} review, because [=ERod=] needed to explain female perspective, so he beace [=SHERod=]. He even remarked ''"she"'' was ''gorgeous''.[[spoiler: Lampshaded when Marsha rebels and reveals to the viewer she was playing him, so [=ERod=] still owed another female lead review.]]
* GratuitousSpanish: Sometimes he drops some words. More frequently by El L0ver.
** His [[spoiler: Top 10 Hispanic Heroes list]] gives us [[spoiler: a full conversation between him and Nerdlinger in spanish]].
* IronicNickname: Every time a movie is so bad or the characters are forgettable.
** The most remarkable example is for the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' Saga, Erod was so upset with the characters' names that he decided to nickname everyone: Bella Swan = Deadpan Mc-Gee, Edward = Captain Whiny-Pants, Jacob = [[TheAdventuresOfSharkboyAndLavagirl Sharkboy]], Vampires = [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Sparkling Pricks]], etc.
** In {{Catwoman}}, she apparently is "S&M Woman".
* {{Hammerspace}}: Averted, as [=ERod=] does not get his weapons out of nowhere, there always is a sequence where he gets his weapons ready. It is also presumed that the Blockbuster Buster never leaves the house without Lucile (his hammer).
** Played Straight in the AstroBoy review where is revealed that he had a "Uni-beam thing" on the chest.
* ICallItVera: His hammer is named Lucile.
* LargeHam: The Blockbuster Buster is this.
* LatinLover: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin El Lover]].
* LimitedWardrobe: While he usually wears the same jacket the t-shirt is different every time, but it is always black.
* LockAndLoadMontage: Occurs in the intro. Also an anti-vampire gear for his Twilight and VanHelsing reviews and anti-zombie equipment for ResidentEvil Afterlife.
* LovableCoward: Nerdlinger. It causes him no end of grief, since being the resident [[MisterExposition expository nerd]] makes him [=ERod's=] go-to guy for information on many franchises, including horror franchises, so he gets constantly exposed to scary stuff. Just as much as he knows about characters like the {{Terminator}} and the {{Predator}}, he can't see their movies without being on the verge of a horror-induced fainting spell.
* MisterExposition: Nerdlinger. When [=ERod=] needs to explain details about a movie's background or the plot of previous movies, he often calls on Nerdlinger to do the honors.
* {{Nerd}}: Nerdlinger, obviously. However, he's an interesting subversion in that the other characters in the show do not put him down for being a nerd. [=ERod=] himself actually calls on him to explain nerdy or fan-specific information, so he's also the show's resident [[TheSmartGuy smart guy]].
* [[OlderThanTheyLook Older Than He Looks]]: And he looks so much like he's in his 20s...
* OneOfUs: Judging by frequent [[ShoutOut shout outs]] to known tropes in his videos, including MeetCute and [[SequelDecay Sequelitis]].
* PowerTrio: [=ERod=]'s action figures make The Trinity of Awesomeness (HellBoy, [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]] and Ash).
* RunningGag: [=ERod=] uses many during his reviews. These include:
** Responding "What?" when referencing Spiky hair.
** Laughing hard everytime DakotaFanning appears in a movie (New Moon, Eclipse and Push).
** If a movie features a really bad actor, [=ERod=] will make a phone call in the middle of the review and apologize with the previous "worst actor this far" and giving the title to the current target.
** "Stan Lee Cameo~!"
*** "[[StanLee EXCELSIOR!!!]]"
* SelfDeprecation:
** The [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/blogs/myblogs/entry/the-blockbuster-buster-voicing-the-rage-of-faboys-everywhereone-film-at-a-time- staff picked reviews]] by The Blockbuster Buster included his review of ''Film/{{Eragon}}'', where the reviewer decides that since he couldn't get a spot on TGWTG, and [[Literature/InheritanceCycle the movie he's reviewing]] is a knock-off, he's just going to make sketches of all the TGWTG persona [[spoiler: and WebOriginal/TheAngryVideoGameNerd]] and parody the way they behave.
*** In the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRhXX4aTK3g commentary]], [=ERod=] explains that the sad mood at the beginning of the video was made not because of not getting into TGWTG, but because of deep financial problems. Eventually his situation got better, and meanwhile the video was his all or nothing moment.
** The ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' review does this again. This was [[WordOfGod allowed by Rob Walker]], according to the [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/blockbuster-buster/blockbuster-buster/32481-atlantis video comments]].
* SkywardScream: "[[MichaelBay "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAY"]]
* {{Squick}} / NauseaFuel: Invoked for his review of [[ChildsPlay Seed of Chucky]], everytime the movie showed scenes referring Puppet-sex.
** El Lover cursed at him for having to watch Chucky and Tiffany's sex scene during [[ChildsPlay Bride of Chucky]]'s recount.
--> "Mira, hijo de tu madre..."
** Also the opening sequence of Chucky's sperm traveling through Tiffany's uterus is so gross that [=ERod=] coudn't even reference LookWhosTalking.
** [=ERod=] had to make [[ScreamingAtSquick 3 breakdown pauses in his balcony]] (muted by the glass door) when he had to watch Chucky masturbating, holding a cup of his own semen and Tiffany impregnating JenniferTilly.
* WeaponOfChoice: Lucile the hammer, but he also has a couple of stakes, a gun, a knife and even a truck was used on one occasion. Also featuring a sledgehammer, a chainsaw and a sword.
* YouAreNotAlone: On the arc of ResidentEvil reviews each of the characters helps him do the reviews [[spoiler: while he was imprisoned, and at the end they help him fight Evil-E ]].
** He also gets encouragement from Mario, Batman, the Trinity of Awesomeness and his producer.
