Storyline

Following his Let's Play of Bart's Nightmare, The Nostalgia Critic has come under scrutiny from his "adoring" fans who have had him incarcerated in an Internet state penitentiary. In attempt to regain his fan base, The Critic agrees to do a positive review for "James and the Giant Peach", and is held at gun point is he dares point out any flaws. He goes on to ridicule the song lyrics, the questionable disappearance of James' parents via rhino, and many other story elements that are never really addressed. Overall, he feels it isn't the worst film he's ever seen and deems it acceptable. Written by Anonymous

Trivia

According to Doug Walker in his commentary of his Let's Play, the original opening of this video was a little different from the finished product. Originally, after the Critic apologized, Douchey McNitpick was to appear and somewhat subtly take shots at the fans, saying things to the effect of "how dare you give us free entertainment and make one bad video." However, site CEO Michael Michaud nixed the idea and suggested Walker address the matter in a more straight fashion, and so the opening was re-shot to include Chester A. Bum, in lieu of Douchey, telling the Critic he needs to atone for his sins. See more »

Goofs

The Critic claims that the "Eating the Peach" song was written by Randy Newman. Although Newman arranged the song musically, the lyrics were written by Roald Dahl, originating in the book. See more »
