Doug Walker (TGWTG, Nostalgia Critic, Bum Reviews, and other projects)

I do believe this is the last Don Bluth movie besides Titan A.E. that he hasn't done yet: The Land Before Time.

A pity he isn't aware there were 10 minutes of deleted scenes that have never seen the light of day.

He also hasn't done All Dogs Go to Heaven and Thumbalina yet.

Stray observations:

• "But my mother's dead."
• "Dude, he said the L-N-word!"
• "Now, just put your kidneys back into your body and we can get going!"
• "He sleeps in his mother's footprint because sweet Jesus..."
• "I know what you're thinking: it's a sponsorship, he's supposed to say that and rule the world with the cactus people, ignore that last part..."
• "God agrees!"
• "Or, you know, maybe we can say we like him to his face and then tweet we hate him online?"
• A good video with an interesting personal touch.

There's Anastasia too right, if you don't consider his cameo in Ellis' review?

Edited by Ookamikun on Apr 24th 2024 at 8:16:51 PM

Nah, he's made a full Anastasia review.

He has definitely done an episode on All Dogs Go to Heaven. Big-Lipped Alligator Moment is a thing because of him (and Lindsay Ellis).

Nope. That came from their crossover review of Ferngully The Last Rainforest. Doug has never done a full review of All Dogs Go to Heaven.

Ahh right yeah, now it's coming back to me. So he hasn't touched Titan AE then?

Nope.

Wait when did Doug's mom pass away? I knew about his dad but not his mom.

Also catching up on his recent videos, why did he stop putting the character select credits (it immediately cuts) and why is he reviewing in his red room now?

1) Yeah, Doug and Rob's mom passed away in 2016, I think.

2) The new intro is shortened for some reason, yes.

3) For the time being, the NC episodes are shot at Doug's house—the studio initially got wrecked a bit because of the storm last year and while it was renovated, that apparently didn't help much. CA is looking for a new studio.

I thought his dad was still alive?

I want to talk about how disappointing NC's 10th Anniversary video was? For comparisons, Linkara dedicated every non-Patreon episode to being a sequel episode to a previous comic he reviewed, and Cinema Snob had 10 videos dedicated to a previous movie he reviewed. Here all the Nostalgia Critic was review Norm of the North (which I'm sure was a popular request for him to do tbf) but it was mainly treated like a normal episode of his series with nothing spectacular to emphasize how far he's come.

Ahh so it was probably the mom who passed away than his dad then.

Yeah that's what I thought too, I knew they had to renovate their studio but I thought it was already fixed, but it seems not? Is it why he made the ceiling joke?

I guess they didn't want to call attention to the ten year thing? Wasn't it during the whole Change the Channel movement?

The Norm of the North review was in 2017, a year before CTC.

And yeah, while the studio was renovated, apparently the renovations didn't stuck.

I wonder if they just sold the studio. It'd be a waste if they won't use it.

Also wondering why the change to the 5 sec. intro in Wish. They don't even do credits anymore.

Edited by Ookamikun on Apr 27th 2024 at 5:43:07 PM

I was surprised at Doug opening up at the beginning.

Always enjoy to see and hear him as himself.

Yeah, the intro change is weird; they could at least provide the actors' names.

Does any Internet critic have his own Rotten Tomatoes profile besides Doug?

Out of the top of my head, Chris Stuckmann (though his RT hasn't been updated for a few years now) and Jeremy Jahns. I'm sure there are more.

Today's episode is a rarity: something I have never heard of before. So I have no witty intro for this: Dragon Heart.

Edited by Weirdguy149 on May 1st 2024 at 6:08:59 AM

I remember when Mike Nelson wrote about this film in his book of film reviews, and said the title was blatantly trying to copy Brave Heart, stating "It's not like heart is that common a word."

Aka my favorite dragon movie

we rented that movie a lot when that was a thing

Yay, I thought I was the only one who had that movie confused with Braveheart!

Wait, the dragon's name is Draco and there was no Harry Potter joke? He even referenced "Harry Potter" earlier in the review!

Stray observations:

• "Did he eat the cast of Snatch., what voice is he doing?!"
• "OK, that I recognize, an arrow, auch."
• "Don't make me smack you like all the lady dragons in my life!"
• "I did it! I'm the Highlander!"
• 11:43: Draco's "Geez, I've said too much" face might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen on this show.
