Originally intended as the pilot for a separate series called "The Angry Movie Nerd", which never came to fruition. Ironically that same year, a similar movie reviewing web series, Nostalgia Critic (2007) debuted. A rivalry between the Critic and the Nerd would since become a recurring gag. Also, the Nostalgia Critic did reviews for the first two Ninja Turtles movies, but not the third one, instead he just reenacted and exaggerated his reactions to it.
