Everytime I see Doug "review" a recent movie like Frozen, I find myself compelled to ask the same question people have been asking for years...

Where's the nostalgia, Doug ?

He tossed that mentality out the window when he started doing Critic again after Demo Reel flopped. The Odd Life of Timothy Green was hardly nostalgic; Doug only wanted to review it as the Critic because he watched it and found the message to be so bass ackwards. Any recent movie review Critic does nowadays falls into the following categories
  1. Recent movie that has the excuse of being from a nostalgic property (Michael Bay Turtles, Transformers, Jem, Jurassic World)
  2. Movie that is out in theaters at the time of him reviewing it, done as a clipless review. Done to mainly present nitpicks in movies doing well with audiences and present them as valid criticisms. May or may not be screened at a theater that will accept anyone's crappy student film.
  3. A movie that he covered elsewhere (Disneycember, for example) that gives Doug an excuse to beef up an old script instead of making one from scratch.
  4. A movie that Michaud specifically asks him to review because everyone else is talking about them and they bring in the views. Films are typically not nostalgic in the slightest. (Foodfight, Sharknado, Woody Woodpecker, Norm of the North)

My thing is nostalgia could mean something diffrent depending on who you ask and the time period when they grew up. Hell, how much stuff has Doug done before he'd have to go for obscure films that nobody heard of? No clicks there.
