* SoBadItWasBetter: Part of the reason the hosts end up favoring the second Paul Blart movie to the first. While both are bad movies, they find the second one to be goofier and stranger in execution, which leads mostly to bigger flops but occasionally to bigger laughs. The first movie, by contrast, is just kind of boring in its badness.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The hosts' view of Paul Blart as a character seems to change depending on the episode. Mr. Blart is alternately a loving but incompetent father, a misogynist, a deeply depressed man, a constantly tortured [[Literature/BookOfJob Job-esque]] figure, a multidimensional traveler, and just a dick.
** The hosts' opinion of Lane also seems to vary a bit between episodes. He's either an honest young man trying to win Maya's heart, or a terrible womanizer that tries to seduce every girl he meets at the casino.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The hosts' view Given the limited material they have to work with and the nature of the podcast, the hosts come up with a lot of speculation on the nature of the characters:
** Is Paul Blartas a character seems to change depending on the episode. Mr. Blart caring father (albeit not a good one) or is alternately a loving but incompetent father, a misogynist, a deeply depressed man, he abusive towards Maya? Is he an immortal demigod, a constantly tortured [[Literature/BookOfJob Job-esque]] figure, a misogynistic creep, a multidimensional traveler, and just a dick.
or all of the above?
**The hosts' opinion Is the Shadow Man really behind all of Lane also seems to vary a bit between episodes. He's Paul Blart's suffering, or is he simply an amused bystander? If he is responsible, how far back do his machinations go? Did he orchestrate either an honest of Paul's divorces, or his mother's death?
** Is Lane a kind young mantrying with a crush on Maya, a womanizing [[Film/VanWilder Van Wilder-esque]] Casanova using the hotel to win Maya's heart, pick up girls, a ghost trapped in the hotel, or trapped between dimensions?
** Is Vincent a competent thief, or is he as clueless as Paul Blart?
** Pretty much the only person who doesn't get any of this is Maya, who the hosts agree is a lovely young woman in some pretty terriblewomanizer that tries to seduce every girl he meets at the casino.circumstances.

* CriticalDissonance: After watching the first Blart movie for the ''Origins'' episode, the hosts are all in agreement that the sequel is a far superior movie. This is in stark contrast to both the critical ''and'' public reception to the sequel, which was even more negative than the first film's.
