YMMV / Cinematic Excrement

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In his Four Christmases review, after noticing that the main characters are making a geographically impossible trip through California (which he notices as he lives in the state), Sean decides to explain by lowering a map of the region... except that at the first try, he lowers a picture of Christina Hendricks in lingerie. He promptly lifts it back and excuses himself saying "Sorry, wrong map" before lowering the actual map. This is never mentioned again for the rest of the episode.
• Bizarro Episode: For the episode on Cutthroat Island, the review was done with a pirate (played by Smeghead) who got intoxicated midway in the review. The following episode even had Smeghead apologize for the events of that episode.
• Friendly Fandoms: With Cinematic Venom due to both the fans and both reviewers being friends in real life.
• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • In his review of Birdemic, Smeghead says that he gives director James Nguyen some credit for being a good sport about the movie's reception and embracing its sarcastic fandom (in contrast to Tommy Wiseau doing a Parody Retcon in regards to The Room (2003) or Uwe Boll's Dear Negative Reader rants), and overall seems to find him a likeable guy. However, when he reviews Birdemic 2: The Resurrection, Smeghead is uncomfortable when he realizes that film's portrayal of minorities is rather... suspect, especially considering the only black people the protagonists meet are dead gangbangers, and a zookeeper of Asian descent that they meet speaks with an accent, even though Smeghead could verify that the zookeeper's actor speaks perfect English in real life (which particularly baffles Smeghead, as Nguyen himself is of Asian descent), leading him to say, "I'm starting to think that James Nguyen is not a very good person."
  • In his review of Leonard Part 6, he notes that Bill Cosby is in prison for sexual assault. Cosby's conviction was overturned on a technicality a couple of years later in 2021.
  • In his vlog on Creed III, Smeghead remarks that "Jonathan Majors is having a hell of a year," with his roles in the aforementioned film and as Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. This phrase would take on a whole meaning when, less than a month later, Majors would face accusations of domestic abuse, for which he was eventually criminally charged, and after being found guity of said charges, was fired from his role as Kang.
• He Panned It, Now He Sucks!:
  • The first part of his The Fourth Kind review had its likes almost outweighed by dislikes from people who liked the movie (plus, in the comments, people didn't seem to take kindly to Smeghead riffing on Milla Jovovich and her voice). Either that, or some people thought that it actually was the movie, as shown by several comments on the video. (Note that there's nowhere near as many dislikes in the videos for the second and third parts of the review.)
  • Likewise, his review of Meet the Spartans used to have more dislikes than likes, most likely from fans of the movie. Although most people pointed out in the comments section of the video that it was likely a Polish the Turd attempt.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • When reviewing RoboCop 3, he discusses how Live Free or Die Hard censored John McClane's signature "Yippe ki-yay, motherfucker!", comparing it to making a Star Wars movie without someone saying "I've got a bad feeling about this". Two years later...
  • He reached Gigli in his series on the Razzie Worst Picture winners shortly after Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez actually got back together.
  • His Saving Christmas review ends with him getting A Madea Christmas in Netflix’s DVD program. Four months later, Netflix would end their DVD program.
• Memetic Mutation: Thanks to his late uploading times, the comment section on his videos will make jokes about how the commenter was about to go to sleep right as the video is uploaded.
• Older Than They Think: Think that Doug Walker was the first reviewer who watched Avatar: The Last Airbender before watching the movie? Well, think again!
• Special Effects Failure: You can very briefly Smeghead's short behind the Censor Box at the end of the The Fourth Kind review.
