If you've spent any time on the Internet, there's a good chance you've heard of Doug Walker and his site That Guy with the Glasses. If you haven't, it's a conglomerate site for people who do video reviews of various things. Movies, Video Games, Comics, etc. Since its inception, the flagship show of the site has been Walker's own Nostalgia Critic where he plays a cartoony Gen X-er who angrily rants about movies from the 80s and 90s. If you haven't seen it, go check it out. It is hilarious.
Well, all things must come to an end. At the end of their latest anniversary special, called To Boldly Flee, the Nostalgia Critic character and show were officially retired. I won't reveal how because of spoilers and Walker himself explains what this means for the future of That Guy with the Glasses here.
I just wanted to say thank you to Mr. Walker. The Nostalgia Critic has given me hours of enjoyment and always something to look forward to on Wednesdays. His precedent in Internet media has given a lot of people a platform to share their views and work and he's an inspiration to any online independent filmmakers.
So in honor of the character's retirement I present my favorite Nostalgia Critic episode, his review of Stephen King's It.
