List of Nostalgia Critic episodes (2007-2008)

The Critic speed-talks through a synopsis of Transformers (2007) before fainting from exhaustion at the end.

The Critic speculates, prior to its release, about the plot of Cloverfield (2008).

The Critic reviews Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue (1990). He criticizes the fact that the special is about drugs, the cartoon characters' mean spirited and overly preachy nature, and a very annoying musical number. This was the first episode to be done in the Nostalgia Critic's trademark style, whereas the previous later became the basis for Doug's other web series, Bum Reviews.

The Critic reviews Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995). He already hates the TV show and exclaims that the plot is nonsensical, criticizes the movie for having a budget wasted on pointless stuff like the opening skydiving stunt, poor special effects and how the moral is to fight without powers, yet the Power Rangers get them back eventually. However, he finds a funny scene when Ivan Ooze destroys Zordon. Special criticism is reserved for the climax, which involves the Rangers (inside the Ninja Falcon Megazord) defeating Ooze by kneeing him in the scrotum.

The Critic reviews Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993). Despite the flaws found in the first two movies, such as the climax in the original and the toned down content in the sequel, he finds both enjoyable, with praise to the animatronics and fight scenes. However, he finds the third movie bad enough to not review it, saying he could not watch over five minutes of it.

The Critic reviews Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992). He is upset about Tom and Jerry being able to talk and when the orphan girl Robyn Starling becomes the focus of the story (he acts as a director trying to get her to leave before eventually deciding to "rewrite" the film into being about "A little orphan trying to find her father while her aunt tries to find her. And there's also a cat and mouse in there but that no longer matters"), and also shows a strong dislike for the musical numbers and the weak slapstick. Special criticism is reserved for the scene where Tom and Jerry speak and introduce themselves to Pugsy, and sing about being friends. The only positive elements he notes are the silent scene where Tom and Jerry roam the city after losing their home and a clever in-joke with a restaurant called "Bill and Joe's", referencing Tom and Jerry's creators.
