This is the Nostalgia Critic's clipless "review" of the 1982 cult-following live-action/animation hybrid musical film Pink Floyd – The Wall based on the 1979 album of the same name by English rock band Pink Floyd, the review is featured special guest stars from Corey Taylor (also featured his son Griffin Taylor as young-self of Corey), Rob Scallon, Brad Jones and Satellite City creator Sam Fennah.

The video was uploaded on YouTube on September 18th, 2019, it was heavily panned by various online music/internet critics, audiences, Pink Floyd fans, and even the Nostalgia Critic fans, in which the video earned 70k dislikes. "The Wall - Nostalgia Critic" is considered the worst "review" ever created by both Channel Awesome and Nostalgia Critic since "Let's Play: Bart's Nightmare", as well as one of the "worst reviews" of all time where many people said this is how not do to a review.

Plot
The nurse (played by Tamara Chambers) was cleaning the hallway when she noticed the sign at the door is not to disturb, then she leaves. After the titles, the only one who lives in this room was Slipknot and Stone Sour member Corey Taylor sitting on his couch emotionless until he noticed the YouTube video known as "The Wall - Nostalgia Critic" has arrived. He plays the video as The Critic discusses the 1982 live-action/animation musical film "Pink Floyd - The Wall" ("When the Wall Broke Free"). It jump-cuts to Corey as young-self (played by Griffin Taylor), where he enters the cinema to watch The Wall then he walks away in confusion. The nurse returns to knocking where it caused Corey into his flashbacks ("In the Floyd") as The Critic busted out the TV to show his version of the movie.

We go back to young Corey, where he found the VHS tape of "The Wall" under his father desktop drawers ("When the Wall Broke Free" again) as he becomes curious again that he likes to become a guitarist. We jump back to modern Corey. He noticed the creature is watching until his teacher (played by Rob Scallon) interrupts him, and the music distracts the students in his school rather than educate them as young Corey walks away from the school due to evil or mean-spirited teachers and poor U.S. education ("We Need More Victimization"). After this segment, two students (Tamara Chambers and Walter Banasiak) escape until they notice many other students trapped in the train that leads to somewhere. It causes them to think it was a reference to an infamous event in World War II until Critic (in a giant form) told them it wasn't. Critic releases the dove as surreal imaginary as the giant monsters appears in the war. ("So Long, Weird Song")

After the song, Critic is ready to play a slow mopey song until Corey Taylor skipped various parts, and he fell asleep. Later the nurse and Corey's crew (Brad Jones plays the manager, and Malcolm ray plays the employee) tried to wake him up, but to no avail, as Critic sings during the scene ("Comfortably Dumb"). The crew takes Corey in the garage, where he finally wakes up as he was being switched to The Critic played as Pink in Hammer cloth where he spread across the internet with a hashtag, outage culture, and tweeting. ("In the Floyd (Again?)", then "Waiting for the Point") After the song, Corey walk to the train station to search for Critic until he stopped by various people singing to bashing at "The Wall" ' s run-time. ("Bring the Runtime Down")

Corey heads to the Channel Awesome studio to greet The Critic, where he gives Corey a message. His phone rings were Sullivan Croft (Sam Fennah) along with Hyzenthlay (Azure Douglas) that he tells Critic where is Lucy Lacemaker was that she appears randomly in the review. A Kivouachian cat-like creature, Lucy Lacemaker (Rikki-Leigh Taffurelli) appears front at Critic to talk about "The Wall" and even the various monster/creatures in "The Trail" segment that it was used for character development. Lucy and the others monsters (Winifred, Fontaine, Shuck, Mystique, Sombra, Fleischer, Ludwig, Dorothy and Luna) singing together for the finale ("Fennah's The Trial"). After the song is finished Critic destroys the wall, but Corey is confused about this which he didn't get a line or song where he told Critic about the movie as he simply said "the movie ended on such an open vagueness, that it only makes sense that the review end on such an open vagueness" then Corey angrily said it's was the opposite of review as Critic said he like it fine. Critic told what next, so Corey could play a song was one of his favorites as he sings with Critic and the crews of Channel Awesome at the end of the review was the "SpongeBob SquarePants" theme song.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) It was another clipless review similar to "Transformers", "Jurassic World", "Suicide Squad" and 2017 version of "It". Still, it used the music and image clips from the movie with different lyrics as the "review" despite the movie itself already being released on DVD. (true there are no signs of Blu-ray to get a HD version)
 * 2) * Even Corey Taylor himself told the Critic "It's a REVIEW! That's literally the opposite of what that is!", meaning it completely wasted for 40 minutes with only music and lack of an actual review.
 * 3) * Speaking of which, the only thing this video does like a review is just saying "I think the film's fine" at the end, and that's it. No in-depth analysis, no reasoning, just one line about his thoughts on the movie in a 40-minute review.
 * 4) * Everyone also commented that it feels more like a parody/satire rather than a review.
 * 5) It failed to talk about or even researched the entire movie or even the original album. It instead felt like all Doug did was read the Wikipedia plot for a minute after a troll edited it. Here are several reasons in various music segments based on the original version, not including new songs like "Corey!" (used the stock music but only three lines is "Corey"), "The Deeper Meaning" and even "SpongeBob SquarePants".
 * 6) In the Floyd (In the Flesh?) - W.I.P.
 * 7) "When the Wall Broke Free" (When the Tigers Broke Free) - The first part is slightly understood as The Critic said "The Wall" is first released that it received mixed reviews, semi-decent at the box-office then it disappeared until it earned a cult following from Pink Floyd fans years later to earned praise reviews from critics. However the second, he said this one has spoiled child who enter someone's property, but in the movie where Pink as a kid is curious found his deceased father military stuff like hat, scroll, and the bullets as Pink dress up just like his father.
 * 8) "The Song After This One Is Really Good" (Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1/The Happiest Days of Our Lives) - W.I.P.
 * 9) "We Need More Victimization" (Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2) - This one is considered to be the worst and most infamous song where The Critic against this segment for "pandering like hell" (both album and movie has the same run-time is 1 hour and 35 mins) and mocking at modern U.S. (United States) education like "LOL so school sucks? Grow a damn pair of balls!", but in the album and movie is located in U.K. (United Kingdom) where Pink as a child has a trouble with his life in school after World War II ended where all the teachers is become abusive or corrupted towards to their students which it explains the headmaster is been pushed around by his wife.
 * 10) "So Long, Weird Song" (Goodbye Blue Sky) - The Critic said the monsters are looked too silly and completely nonsensical. However, the album and movie where the monsters and planes are connected to The Blitz because of the bombing and destruction on London like large threatening mechanical eagle known as the Reichsadler (symbol from the Nazi) is destroying building. With extra salt-to-the-wound, he said the music feels like "Oscar bait" but it was originated from the album which it wasn't Oscarworthy.
 * 11) The Forgotten Song (Hey You) - W.I.P.
 * 12) "Is There Anybody Who Cares?" (Is There Anybody Out There?) - W.I.P.
 * 13) Comfortably Dumb (Comfortably Numb) - W.I.P.
 * 14) In the Floyd (Again?) (In the Flesh) - W.I.P.
 * 15) "Waiting for the Point" (Waiting for the Worms) - W.I.P.
 * 16) "Bring the Runtime Down" (Bring the Boys Back Home) - As previously mentioned in 2.4, the album and movie is 1 hour and 35 mins long which it was simple runtime on every movies. Plus with hypocritical humor, Critic said Hey You could've been in the movie but only criticized the length.
 * 17) "Fennah's The Trial" (The Trial) - Not considered the worst but it has notable flaws was the monster is using for character development but in the album and movie where the monsters are connection from Pink's memories like teacher, ex-girlfriend, and mother.
 * 18) Terrible CGi (saving for Fennah in Redeeming Quality) or 2D animation, lighting, green-screen and stop-motion effects in various segments. One notable example was in the "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" segment where the entire students run away or slowly march (in a bad looking green-screen that is reused and worse reversed) from the giant teacher (played by Rob Scallon) destroying cities. You can easily notice both the city is spinning to the left but the teacher is moved to the right. In "Goodbye Blue Sky" segment, the designs of Reichsadler and Pink Floyd as emotionless doll is poorly drawn.
 * 19) Poorly made and unfunny jokes.
 * 20) Many of the music lyrics are both cringe-worthy and an insult to the movie, original album, and even Pink Floyd fans.
 * 21) The music is too loud to the point where you cannot hear what the characters are saying. There are no subtitles, either.
 * 22) Doug Walker's singing is the worst it has been since it sounds more hammed up than actually putting in an effort.
 * 23) Even the singing outside of Doug Walker is also flat out terrible.
 * 24) Also, the theme for SpongeBob SquarePants has nothing to do with Pink Floyd.
 * 25) As mentioned, this video is almost 40 minutes long, but because of the slow pace, complete with tons of filler, it feels more like 3 hours.
 * 26) World War I has nothing to do with Pink Floyd, either; in the movie, the main character aptly named Pink Floyd has a flashback that reveals his father was killed while defending the Anzio bridgehead during World War II, not World War I. (The Battle of Anzio occurred from January 22nd to June 5th 1944)
 * 27) Besides the title of the video, the thumbnail itself doesn't include Nostalgia Critic himself; he's only depicted as the screaming face on the wall. Only a bizarre-looking photoshop that looks out-of-place with no context whatsoever.
 * 28) After the critical panned reception of the album by many music critics, it got so bad that Rob Scallon has permanently deleted the album from BandCamp.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The CGi animation of the creatures (mainly Lucy Lacemaker) and settings in "The Trial" segment by "Satellite City" creator Sam Fennah is very impressive and he begins to improved his animation skills later on.
 * 2) * Even the 2D animated marching hammers by Fennah's girlfriend is also substantial.
 * 3) Some instrumentals are excellent recreations of the original.

Trivia

 * It was the first Nostalgia Critic episode to be featured on Wikipedia, until it was deleted due to a policy.
 * A Honey advert has become a meme due to Doug Walker's over-the-top reaction with the Endless Stairs music from Super Mario 64.
 * Despite the backlash, Doug Walker has yet to apologize for making the "review" of The Wall like he did with his Let's Play of Bart's Nightmare.
