The Film Renegado talks about films that have something to do with Mexico. Whether it be Mexican actors and directors, films shot in Mexico or Mexican culture, you can be sure they will cover it. They can be found here.

As 2015, Gerry decided to make their new content in Spanish exclusively.

Contains the following tropes

  • Accent Relapse: They already have an accent, since English is their second language, but it sometimes gets REALLY thick, especially when they mispronounce words (for example, they pronounce "chemistry" as sheh-mees-tree and "available" as a-bah-ee-lah-ble). It's part of their charm, though.
  • Affectionate Parody: Did an excellent parody of Sad Panda's Forget About It!
  • Bilingual Bonus: LOADS! This is to be expected, as many of their movies are in Spanish, and they're constantly saying things in Spanish too.
    • The plushie zombie in their Santo y Blue Demon Contras Los Monstruos review: "Aaaargh! I'm a Latino Zombie! You can't understand shit of what I say! Subscribe to my page! Blublublu!"
  • The Cameo: Cameos pop up on their show, and they pop up on other people's shows!
  • Caustic Critic: Averted; they're usually not as harsh as others, and makes it a point to lay out "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" about each movie at the end of the review.
  • Crossover:
  • Edutainment: Renegado provides both entertainment and education about Mexican culture, customs, and history.
  • Faceā€“Heel Turn: When they attempted to band together with three other reviewers to take over Channel Awesome and Channel Awesome.
  • Gratuitous Spanish: Sprinkled into their reviews at random points.
  • Hollywood Tone-Deaf: While practicing their mariachi singing in Two Careful Fellows.
  • Hostile Show Takeover: Hosting an entire episode of CriticTV and having it in Spanish.
  • Masked Luchador: Renegado is a fan of El Santo!
  • Mayincatec: Though they thought Apocalypto was entertaining, they admit that it lost its goal about teaching about the Mayans and simply became Rambo IN MESOAMERICA!!
  • Mexico: They provide lots of useful and interesting cultural notes on their home country.
  • Promoted Fanboy: Parodied and discussed in-universe. They were so excited to get hired to Channel Awesome. However, it turns out they actually failed to read the email closer, which actually read: "We're proud to welcome to your Channel. Awesome! Your very own crappy channel you had before."
  • Running Gag: Everytime there's a really sad moment in a review. They show a clip of a dancing taco to cheer himself up.
  • Shared Universe: Because of the many cameos and the few crossovers, Renegado is part of the Reviewaverse.
  • Shout-Out: SPANISH, MOTHERFUCKER! DO YOU SPEAK IT?!
  • Story Arc: They don't seem to have any particular story going on, however they've had a small storyline with their reviews of the Spy Kids trilogy.
  • The Western: Renegado reviews several of them; they seem to be a favorite subject.
  • Video Review Show
