TLOTA: You guys check out that Power Rangers Movie Trailer?

Paulo Fonseca: Yeah, it didn’t feel like the show we watched when we were younger.

Rebecca Yaun: And what about those suits?

Nick Yaun: Looked like Marks of Iron Man that even Tony Stark would’ve rejected.

Brenda Fonseca: Well, from what I heard they got some good casting choices. I mean Bryan “Heisenberg” Cranston as Zordon, Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa and from what I’ve heard Bill Hader is Alpha 5. Plus, they are going to use Bryan Tyler for the music and they got Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz to write and the Director from Project Almanac to direct this one.

TLOTA: Well, I would like to try to see it. I mean I’m not so stuck in the past that I’m not willing to see a part of my childhood in a new light. I saw the 2016 Ghostbusters and I liked it fine and it didn’t take away my childhood love of the Movies and the cartoons I saw then and besides it’s not like Power Rangers isn’t due for an update. Who knows, it might be better than we give it credit for.

Paulo Fonseca: You sure have a lot of faith in this movie.

TLOTA: I’ve got to, it’s not like the Power Rangers attempts for the big screen can get worse than “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie”. Not saying it was a bad movie but as a pilot for Power Rangers Turbo it could’ve been worse. So, here’s hoping that the new Power Rangers movie puts the Rangers right where they belong, on the top echelon of Superheroes alongside the DC & Marvel Universe.

Rebecca Yaun: We hear ya! (Everyone in the office kitchen raises their drinks to cheer each other before fading to black and in white text are the words “Present Day” as it cuts to James as he enters to the main hall way where he’s intercepted by Olivia Horvath, Eric Kurtzke, Renee Miller with John and Mike Santos as they hold James at gunpoint before cutting to James looking as if he’s going to soil himself.)

TLOTA: Didn’t Rebecca pay you before she went to Texas with her husband, her brother, her sister in law, Andrew Beach & Ed Champion to give ORAC to help the Ninja Cats find Rowdy? (Cut to Olivia Horvath, Eric Kurtzke, Renee Miller, John and Mike Santos)

Eric Kurtzke: We heard you went to see the Power Rangers movie. (Cut to James)

TLOTA: I just came back from watching it! (Cut to Olivia Horvath, Eric Kurtzke, Renee Miller, John and Mike Santos)

Olivia Horvath: You do realize that there are people who hate this movie because it betrays everything done in the near quarter century Power Rangers have been about!

John Santos: That’s what’s pissing you off! We’re pissed that it is an insult to the loyalty of the history of Power Rangers! So much so we tweeted, facebooked, snapchatted and Instagramed you as the Anti-Christ you are! (Cut to James)

TLOTA: I think with everything going cuckoo for cocoa puffs I HIGHLY DOUBT ANYONE IS GONNA GO ON THE ATTACK ABOUT THE POWER RANGERS! (Cut to a building exterior with the words “Department of Social Justice” before cutting to an office where three social justice Champions played by Ed Champion, Rebecca Yaun & Andrew Beach are doing their daily trolling.)

Dax (Played by Andrew Beach): So, Kat, Troy anything new that we should be aware of?

Troy (Played by Ed Champion): More rioting, protests and extremist actions by the Anti-Trump movement including attacks on NYSEG!

Dax: Pass!

Kat (Played by Rebecca Yaun): More Political scandals!

Dax: Double Pass!

Troy: Someone thinking of reviewing the new Power Rangers movie… (The eyes of the three bug out of their head.)

Troy, Kat & Dax (In Unison): Someone thinking of reviewing the new Power Rangers movie! AVANTI!

(Cut to the outside of a church and the words “Holy Land Of Wasted Lives” as Gregorian chants are heard before cutting to a priest played by Nick Yaun chanting in Latin and tossing in names of actors, seasons and characters of Power Rangers tossed into the mix, and as The priest says “Heil Zordon” a nun played by Brenda Fonseca runs into frame.)

Sister Kimberly (Played by Brenda Fonseca): Forgive me Father Bulkmeier, but a friend of yours is here with disturbing news. Rabbi Skullovitch, if you’d please! (Rabbi Skullovitch played by Paulo Fonseca comes in with a smart phone in one hand.)

Rabbi Skullovitch: Thank you Sister Kimberly, Father Bulkmeier, if you would read the message on my phone and maybe we can deal with the Schmendrick, put him back in his place maybe? (Father Bulkmeier looks at what’s on the Smart Phone)

Father Bulkmeier: OY GEVALT! If the congregation will excuse us, we have matters to attend to! (Gregorian chant is sped up as the three pray in their own way and shuffle off stage right before cutting back to James’ office.)

TLOTA: Now if you guys will excuse…ME! I’ve got a review to do!

Dax(Off-Screen): I THINK NOT! (Cut to Dax, Troy & Kat blocking the backdoor before cutting to James as Olivia Horvath, Eric Kurtzke, Renee Miller, John and Mike Santos are in the background.)

TLOTA: Let me guess, Social Justice Champions? (The Social Justice Champions come face to face with James.)

Kat, Troy & Dax (In Unison): JAWOHL! CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN NAZI SCUM!

Dax: And we are here to shut you down!

Kat: We will NOT let you review the new Power Rangers movie!

Troy: All because you will hate it, you’re an internet reviewer. It is your job to dislike everything.

TLOTA: I didn’t dislike the 2016 Ghostbusters movie. Besides I’m open to new interpretations of Power Rangers, why do you think I’m watching Ninja Steel and why do you think I watched the new movie?

Father Bulkmeier (Off-Screen): BLASHPHEMER!

Sister Kimberly (Off-Screen): HERETIC!

Rabbi Skullovitch (Off-Screen): GOYIM MENSCH MESHUGGENAH SCHMUCK HITLER BASTARD! (Cut to Father Bulkmeier, Sister Kimberly & Rabbi Skullovitch coming to James and everyone else.)

TLOTA: OH GOODIE! Father Bulkmeier and Sister Kimberly from St. Zordon’s Basilica and Rabbi Skullovitch of the Temple Beth-Eltar! (Olivia and Eric jump to the religious sect)

Olivia Horvath: And they shall help you see the light. (Cut to James)

Eric Kurtzke (Audio only): For they shall set you straight for those who go against the word of the “Power Rangers” with the power of Shame!

TLOTA: Good freakin’ Grief! (Cut to The Religious Sect)

Olivia & Eric (In Unison): SHAME!

Father Bulkmeier, Rabbi Skullovitch, Sister Kimberly, Olivia & Eric (In Unison): SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! (Cut to James caught between the two sides as they look to collide)

TLOTA: EVERYONE HERE HAS GONE FRIGGIN’ NUTS! (James pulls out his Sonic Screwdriver) DELTA LEVEL DEFENSE! (A pulse of electricity hits everyone as James runs for his office.)

TLOTA: Initiate Alpha lockdown, Level Five! Authorization: Madison, Mallory, Vivian Lee! (Cut to John trying to get the door open with his Sonic Screwdriver but to no effect)

Troy: So, it appears he has locked himself in!

Father Bulkmeier: GOOD! Then let us partake in the real war!

Kat: Oh Yes, The REAL war!

Olivia Horvath: Let the two online extremes collide in the ultimate battle!

John Santos: YES! The ULLLLLLLLLTIMATE BATTLE! (Cut to everyone on their tablets/smartphones texting and typing away!)

Sister Kimberly: I’ve sent you a nasty tweet!

Mike Santos: Here comes one nasty pic of your ugly backside in an Instagram!

Eric Kurtzke: Well, I’ll see your Instagram and raise you a Snapchat!

Dax: Here comes a Meme that’s a whopper!

Rabbi Skullovitch: Well here comes a tumblr & reddit that’ll send you back into your place! (Cut to James as he gets into frame in his office with his desk and laptop computer on one side and on the other side “The Letter”)

TLOTA: Well it seems I’ve come upon yet ANOTHER movie where everyone is so divided!

Reality Checkout: “WWE Total Diva” Eva Marie!

December 10, 2020 in The Last of the Americans

TLOTA: I’m James Faraci, The Last Of The Americans and the views I’m about to express are that of my own & some of yours and Welcome to another edition of Reality Checkout! (Cut to Video Purchasing Store checkout counter in which John Santos is a brainless idiot purchasing Reality TV series while James is the clerk who looks at the guy as if he were an idiot and slowly gets angry and does him a favor by buying him a copy of all the seasons of the restarted “Doctor Who” series as he takes the Reality TV series and places them in Port-a-Potty along with a lit stick of Dynamite and then James runs like hell as an image of Kim Kardashian is seen covered in fecal matter and the only clean part is the words “Reality Checkout” while the theme from “Welcome Freshmen” plays in the background before cutting back to James.)

TLOTA: Believe it or not, I was once a wrestling fan but then came bad choices left and right like when WWE bought out WCW, then came the first attempt at the brand split between Raw & Smackdown! The straw that broke my back as a WWE fan was giving John Laurinitis control of both shows and after that came me being a fan of TNA or as they’re calling themselves now Impact Wrestling. The less said about that company and Dixie Carter’s ability to run the company the better because they forced me into being a retired Pro Wrestling Fan. I’ll watch if there’s nothing else except for Lucha Underground or WCPW they seem to be giving me effort in their promotions though I will check out the occasional WWE Royal Rumble and or WrestleMania but the only reason I don’t watch is for one red headed reason! (Cut to an image of Becky Lynch and James shouts “NO! Rowdy likes her and I’m okay with her!” before cutting to James physically) I’m talking about a red headed headache that (Audio of Eva Marie’s intro plays as James rubs his head to try to alleviate his headache.) GOD TAKE ME NOW!

Before cutting to everyone’s heads popping out of the mound of mail)

Nick & Rebecca Yaun, John and Mike Santos (In unison): Let’s go again! Let’s go again!

Paulo Fonseca: Can I take a guess and say most of these are bills?

Traci Hines: Most of what I’m hearing is ticking! That’s not a good thing, is it?

Eliza Dushku: I’m sitting on something and I heard a click, something tells me that if I get up, we ALL GO BOOM!

Olivia Horvath: Well I’m hearing beeps so stay as far away from me as possible.

(Cut to everyone either saying No or nodding as to say no before cutting to James looking at the audience)

TLOTA: SO WHY THE HELL AM I DEALING WITH THIS CRAP FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTHS?! (Cut to Clips of Romantic Comedies as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover): OH…MY…GOD! I am going to be dealing with a genre of movies that I already said should die or at least needs someone to give the genre a huge dose of intelligence and when I mean a huge dose of intelligence I mean enough intelligence to rival Carl Sagan, Steven Hawkins & Albert Einstein combined. I am of course talking about the Romantic Comedy Genre. A Genre that might be the bane of the existence of everyone with an I.Q. larger than the height of the Himalayas and Kilimanjaro, Matterhorn, Mont Blanc and the Rest of the ALPS!

TLOTA: But maybe if I start off with something not as bad then maybe the next two months after this one maybe just maaaaaay be tolerable. With that said, let’s start this madness parade with something I can tolerate, barely.

The Top 10 moments of James Faraci The Last Of The Americans in 2016!

December 4, 2020 in The Last of the Americans

TLOTA: I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. Well, the best description of 2016 is Bipolar and that’s being nice! But this time around before we get to the Top 10 believe it not we’ve got some honorable mentions before we get started. So let’s get to them! (Cut to clips of review and other moments that happened as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):

The Rowdy and Friends Fantasy League Sketch) Meant to parody one of the biggest online league player trading scandals I was proud to be a part of this sketch just for the fact I could get to be onscreen and me getting to be onscreen even for a moment.

Tipsy Gentlemen: Passion Of The Christ 2, Bibleman Animated Series and Nostalgia Christian/Say Goodnight Kevin) Being honest as I could I wanted to share my thoughts on certain things and express myself onto a different forum and do so intelligently and I want thank Chris T. Ian for allowing me to be intelligent about my beliefs.

The Kick-Ass Review) Honestly this was meant to be done in November of 2015 but the timing I had at the time was bad as was the fact I hadn’t done another “Different Cuts” in a while meant something had to be postponed this review had to be it but it did lead to a lot of great silly moments and started the “Mystery Of James Faraci The Last Of The Americans” storyline.

The Top 10 Good Things to come from Michael Bay’s Transformers) Going in I knew these movies were not going to be Shakespeare and finding those ten moments were a freaking chore for me. But I got the Job done and it helped lead into something that made the top 10 list.

The Top 13 Buffy & Angel Episodes) To be honest not my best list but there were some great moments like when I did a “Bar Rescue” Sketch and was a great lead into..

The Tribute To The Magic Of David Copperfield) Something I felt I had to do for one of the first things I religiously tuned into as a kid and remembered and remains with me to remind me of how much of a kid at heart I still am!

The Disney Descendants April Fools Review) Having seen my friend’s review on the DCOM. Doing this review straight would’ve driven me to drink! But I think having Nick play a Raoul Duke Esque character in order to do and say the things I didn’t want to or could say without coming off like a knock off of The Rowdy Reviewer’s version of the review.

Top 12 Little known Christmas Specials

December 3, 2020 in The Last of the Americans

TLOTA: GUYS! STAY RIGHT THERE! (James stands a foot away and says the “Apache Chief Growing cry” as he grows to be the size of a 300 story Skyscraper as the Others look up and shout “WHAT THE….?” before multiples continual zooms to James face)
TLOTA: CHRISSSSSSSSSSSSSSTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! (Cut to Angry Joe in his satellite as James’ echo violently wakes him up and he says Ow! before cutting to James Shrinking back to normal as everyone save for Olivia is shocked)
Olivia Horvath: Do you usually do something this extreme to say how much your excitement Christmas?!
TLOTA: Well, let’s say after last year’s Nostalgia Critic’s first Christmas review intro nearly wiped everyone off the face of the earth though Chicago. I scaled back!
Olivia Horvath: And you guys are not surprised when he does something like this?!

Renee Miller: Last year when he did the intro he was yo-yoing in the center of a green and red hypnowheel!

Olivia Horvath: Well with as loud as you got I’m certain by the end of 2017 we’re going to be making first contact!

TLOTA: Well, I can’t help it! (Cut to well known Christmas Specials as an electric guitar covers “The 12 Days Of Christmas” and James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover): It’s incredible to describe, it’s the one time everyone reverts to being a kid and we get to watch our favorite animated and live action Specials. But yet for every “Frosty The Snowman” there’s a “Cricket On The Hearth”. For every “Charlie Brown Christmas Special” there’s a “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” and that is kind of sad to know that people don’t know about at least HALF of the countless Christmas Specials that don’t get shown as much as they should. (Cut to James in his office.)

TLOTA: Well guess what Santa James Faraci The Last Of The Americans is gonna give 12 specials the recognition they deserve! Why 12? (James grabs a Santa hat off screen and puts it on his head) HO! HO! HO! These are the Top 12 Little known Christmas Specials!

I’ve got a lovely bunch of “Peanuts”

December 2, 2020 in The Last of the Americans

TLOTA: I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. (Cut to clips of the Charlie Brown Specials as “Linus & Lucy” play in the foreground and James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover): Oh How many of us wished Charlie Brown kicked that elusive football that Lucy pulled away every single time. How many of us wished we had a beagle like Snoopy. How many of us had those feelings we could relate to Chuck or Linus. And yes, my associate The Rowdy Reviewer has done reviews on the Specials and made mention to movies based on the Peanuts Comic Strip. That’s right, there are movies based on the beloved characters created by Charles M. Schulz and every one of them are amazingly incredible. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA: And guess what I’m reviewing all of them. The qualifications is that they HAD to have been theatrically released and it HAD to be made specifically for a theatrical run AND I WILL TRY to keep the Spoilers down to the most bare minimum!

TLOTA: What’s going on?

Paulo Fonseca: We were just wondering who he is or was?

TLOTA: That’s Spoony and he’ll be awake soon!

Eliza Dushku: That’s Spoony?

TLOTA: That’s Spoony.

Eliza Dushku: And what did he say to Jacob Chapman who was formally known as Hope Chapman also formally known as JesuOtaku? (James whispers what Spoony said to JesuOtaku) Well, I know how I can help revive him! (Eliza pulls out a switchblade knife as everyone else goes “Whoa!” and tries to stop her as Spoony wakes up and sees the knife.)

Spoony: So, what’s happening? We having cake? (Cut to Everyone else)

Eliza Dushku: Damn it, he’s an idiot to boot. (Eliza picks up Spoony) Now you listen and listen good. Say one thing out of line and I will gut you, you trout mouthed prick and play twister with your vitals! (Pulls out the switchblade knife again) Got it? (Spoony nods yes in fear of her as she walks away from Spoony and everyone else save for James walks with her leaving James and Spoony in the same room.)

Spoony: So, I take it you had to tell her? (Cut to James.)

TLOTA: Yep! So, do you realize how long you’ve been in there? (Cut to Spoony)

Spoony: A couple of hours? (Cut to James)

TLOTA: It’s mid-November. (Cut to Spoony)

Spoony: AW DAMN IT! and I had “Highlander II” to riff on for the party (Two copies of Highlander II drop out of Spoony’s right hand as James picks them up.)
