Fantasmic! (1992)
Pure Disney Magic!
I had first heard the soundtrack of this show then watched a video of it online, and even though I had the whole show memorized when I finally saw the Florida version in person, it STILL blew me away! And of course, it's fun to compare and contrast the various differences between the Disneyland (classic and 2017 reboot) and the Disney Hollywood Studios versions. A MUST SEE for any Disney theme park guest!
The Nostalgia Critic (2007)
Highly recommend ... Skipping!
Putting aside the #ChangeTheChannel controversies, I highly recommend looking into other review series of this exact genre. This is especially disappointing for me because I WAS a Nostalgia Critic fan once. I started in 2009. I was there for the premieres of Kickassia, Suburban Knights, and To Boldly Flee. I was even one of the few supporters of Demo Reel. I WANTED to see Doug Walker succeed.
But as the years have gone by, Doug Walker has not done anything to improve his show. He's just added more superfluous stuff to it: side actors with no distinct characteristics outside of "I'm Nostalgia Critic's sidekick," comedy sketches in the middle of a review that are average at best, and worst of all, no effort or courage to try and branch out again.
Doug Walker has lost his way and he doesn't seem to care anymore to get out of the woods.
Stealing Focus (2017)
A delight for movie reviewers and theater fans!
The first episode I ever saw was their crossover episode with Some Jerk With a Camera himself, Tony Goldmark, on Disney's Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Being a Disney fan and a local community actor, I instantly fell in love with these characters. Emily's sheer exuberance on the theater is reminiscent of every Broadway teacher you've ever had (fitting since Clark is also a theater teacher). She also founded the California Performing Arts group called The Unknown Artists.
Escape from Vault Disney (2019)
An excellent podcast!
I was there when the first pilot review of Smart House first premiered on YouTube. I had always loved Tony Goldmark's work on Some Jerk With a Camera and this is a good edition to this repertoire.
Food Rocks (1994)
Good 90s Nostalgia
I never got a chance to experience this in person but I did manage to view a recording of it. This is pure 90s cheese (no pun intended). And the messages of healthy eating can still resonate today. I was also surprised that many of the acts were actually voiced by their respective musical artists. Also, it's kinda embarrassed to admit that I actually listened to their parody of Bohemian Rhapsody before I ever listened to the original.
