List of The Nostalgia Critic episodes (season 3)
The Nostalgia Critic, an Internet reviewer, began his 2010 episodes, dubbed "Schwarzenegger Month", during which the Critic exclusively reviewed Arnold Schwarzenegger films. This was followed by a special 100th Episode, in which he reviewed the infamous Battlefield Earth.
In July, he reviewed The Room, but the review was taken down by the film's distributor Wiseau-Films for copyright infringement, to which he posted a response in a skit titled "The Tommy Wiseau Show", that mocks Wiseau for taking down the review. The review was eventually posted back on the site on December 2010.

ShortSummary=The Critic reviews End of Days (1999). He criticizes the plethora of plot holes, lackluster action, lack of horror, over-the-top science, far-fetched mathematical clues, and considers that the premise of Schwarzenegger fighting Satan had more potential. Note: The running gag "CAAATTTT!" debuts in this episode, used whenever a jump scare happens in a film that fails to be frightening.

Title=Battlefield Earth |

Aux1=Doug Walker |
AltTitle=The 100th Episode |
Aux2=25:59 |
OriginalAirDate= |
ShortSummary=The Critic reviews Battlefield Earth (2000) for his 100th episode, and heavily criticizes the plot, characters, constant use of angled camera shots and curtain wipes, John Travolta's over-the-top goofy acting, and overall stupidity. Special criticism is reserved for the villain's idea to beam a bomb to the Planet Psychlo and detonate it, which, due to the radioactive atmosphere of the planet, will cause the planet to blow up. This is supposedly found to be EXTREMELY inaccurate to the Critic, who finds it difficult to believe a race of violent people like this have never had an explosion necessary to blow up the planet. This leads the critic to initiate one of his biggest outbursts on the show (It was later explained in his list of "Top 11 F*Ups: Part 3" that the atmosphere was not radiation, but a reactive gas, and radiation is what would set the bomb off). It is also explained that the bomb's explosion would be a NUCLEAR one, thus the terms of what would happen are legitimate. However, the Critic still finds it extremely unlikely that such a violent, supposedly advanced race would not have discovered nuclear power before humans, leading him to re-enact the exact same outburst from this episode. Note: Beginning with this episode, the best or worst line of the film reviewed is heard over the Channel Awesome logo. Channel Awesome Tag: John Travolta as Terl: "While you were still learning to SPELL YOUR NAME..." |

Although he likes the animation, admits that a few parts are funny and feels that the movie does take risks, He criticizes the pointless moments, ignoring its own plot, constant rap music that seems too improvised, and the character of Robin Harris being portrayed as a poor father figure when he is simultaneously shown as mean-spirited.

ShortSummary=The Critic reviews Lost In Space (1998). He claims that the film is worse than the original television series, as bad as Batman & Robin (both of which were written by Akiva Goldsman), and one of the worst he has seen. He criticizes the dull acting of William Hurt and Matt LeBlanc, the squeaky-voiced acting of Lacey Chabert, the bad script, the horrible comedic timing, the bizarre set designs and is surprised that no one seems to realize that Gary Oldman's character is a villain. Note: This episode is debut of the Dr. Spider Smith character who appears in other Nostalgia Critic epiosdes. Channel Awesome Tag: William Hurt as Professor John Robinson: "I love you, wife." |

WrittenBy=Doug Walker |
Aux1=Doug Walker |
Aux2=21:52 |
OriginalAirDate= |
ShortSummary=The Critic reviews Quest for Camelot (1998). He criticizes the film for lacking any true connection to the Arthurian Legend, the horrendous songs (except The Prayer), the bad jokes, the plot lacking explanations and filled with holes, the heroine who is in reality a Damsel in Distress, the constant ripping-off of Disney and the Rock Ogre that he felt was a rip-off of the Rock Bitter from The Never Ending Story. Special criticism is reserved for Ruber's line "The ogre's butt", the casting of Gary Oldman (which this film was released on the same year as Lost in Space which also stared him as another over the top villian), and the film being the creation of the hit song "The Prayer" while it doesn't match the background of the story. Channel Awesome Tag: Gary Oldman as Ruber: "The Ogre's Butt." |

I can never go back" (Referring to the six-part special Kickassia released the same month). He finds the 3-D (which the DVD lacks) very poorly executed, the effects cheap and unconvincing, the plot insanely dumb, and considers the film generally unscary. |

ShortSummary=The Critic reviews Free Willy (1993). While he does not view the film as terrible, he considers it a rehash of previous movies of a boy bonding with an animal, with hammy acting, cliched villain and some very annoying plot elements. At one point, he states that he believes that the only reason this movie was popular was because of the fact that Michael Jackson's "Will You Be There" was part of the film's soundtrack.

At first this saddens the Critic, but upon realizing that he has made his own life better, he decides to return to work. However, his guardian angel, upon learning how much better his own life would be without the Critic, tries to kill the Critic. The Critic defeats his guardian angel by shooting him to death (With the angel realizing that God lied to him and that angels can be hurt, and thus, contradicting the Ten Commandments) and returns to his work, to the dismay of his fellow reviewers. |
