E2Cartoon All-Stars to the RescueWith the thought of all your favorite cartoon characters coming together for a feature-length episode, how could you go wrong? Well, the Nostalgia Critic shows how wrong it can get when he reviews Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, a Saturday morning special, introduced by George H.W. Bush, that teaches the dangers of drug use. However, the Nostalgia Critic feels that most of the cartoons look more like they have been smoking something rather than practicing what they are preaching. - Power Rangers: A Look Back
E3Power Rangers: A Look BackThe Nostalgia Critic looks back at the Power Rangers with his review of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie.

Even though it contains Raul Julia's final performance, it still doesn't stop the Nostalgia critic from hating the movie.

Space Jam ReviewWith the Looney Tunes and Michael Jordon teaming up for a movie, how can it go wrong. According to the Nostalgia Critic, it can.

E12The WizardAfter moving up the date of the review due to his feud with The Angry Video Game Nerd, The Nostalgia Critic finally reviews the movie The Wizard. With many sexual and violent themes, as well as the kids talking like adults, the Nostalgia Critic finds it hard to believe that this is a kid's movie. However, will the coolness of Lucas Barton make up for the rest of the movie's faults? - 90's Sports MontageE16
90's Sports MontageThe Nostalgia Critic finds it puzzling why we watch sports movies, even though we know what the outcome of the movie will be.

E18Captain PlanetWith nothing better to watch during the timeslot, the Nostalgia Critic reviews Captain Planet, a show that he was pretty forced to watch as a kid.

Later on, he interviews Ma-Ti, the character with the most useless power of the Captain Planet team, the power of Heart. - He-Man and the Masters of the UniverseE23
He-Man and the Masters of the UniverseThe Nostalgia Critic reviews the movie Masters of the Universe, based on the He-Man cartoon series. However, due to homoerotic overtones and a depressing plot, he find that this movie has almost nothing to do with He-Man. - Saved by the Bell
E25Saved by the BellThe Nostalgia Critic decides to review the television show Saved By The Bell. With horrible canned laughter, dated fashions, and unusual stories, the Nostalgia Critic finds the show more weird than entertaining. He also looks at famous episodes such as Jessie becoming addicted to caffeine pills and Zack stopping an oil corporation from building an oilrig on the campus. - Double DragonE33
Double DragonThe Nostalgia Critic reviews Double Dragon, a movie based off of the arcade video game. With cheesy villains, low quality storytelling, and trying to be more complex than the video game, he finds that the movie was made more by producers wanting money than making a good movie. - Howard the DuckE35
Howard the DuckThe Nostalgia Critic reviews Howard the Duck, a movie with weird interactions between an anthropomorphic duck and humans. With a movie about a human girl falling in love with a duck, as well as having dark themes for a silly premise, he finds it more confusing than funny or entertaining. - Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
E36Mortal Kombat: AnnihilationDue to so many viewers requesting that he review Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, the Nostalgia Critic reviews the movie, but finds that the rumors of it being a horrible sequel are very true. With no plot and too many fighting scenes, will this movie make the Nostalgia Critic view the first movie as a masterpiece? - Super Mario Brothers Super ShowE39

However, with inconsistent stories, being a bad parody of other movies, and poor animation, the Nostalgia Critic finds this show to be anything but super. - Jingle All the WayE41
Jingle All the WaySuffering from the post-Christmas blues, the Nostalgia Critic reviews Jingle All the Way. With horrible acting, overly crazy situations, and the fact that it stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, he finds that this movie is better left wrapped up than opened on Christmas day.
