"The Nostalgia Chick" is an online film reviewer who is located on the same website as "The Nostalgia Critic", but her style is markedly different from her namesake. One gets the impression that she takes reviewing films a lot more seriously than "The Nostalgia Critic". One hint is that she rarely reviews films in character; that is to say, she reviews movies straightforwardly as herself, rather than as a fictional persona. She also does not dress in a distinctive costume as does the Nostalgia Critic; the only hints of a distinct "identity" seem to be her pigtails (she once sported a bow tie and Goth makeup, but discarded them early on in her program). The Nostalgia Chick's main appeal is the academic approach she takes to reviewing movies; in contrast, the Nostalgia Critic attempts to appeal to a broad audience through comedic acting and skits. She presents each review like a mini college lecture, complete with a structured analysis of plot and theme. If this sounds too dry, the Nostalgia Chick always injects sarcastic wit and humor into her reviews, preventing them from seeming like genuine college lectures. It helps to think of the Chick more as a really funny and clever graduate student rather than a stuffy tweed-jacketed, grey-haired professor. Those who are liberal arts majors at America's great institutions of higher learning will be instantly hooked to the reviews of "The Nostalgia Chick", in particular English and Film majors. Oddly, the Chick chooses to review movies that are remarkably similar content-wise to those of the Critic: "family films" and animated movies from the 1980s and 1990s. A few online reviewers have criticized the Nostalgia Chick for wasting her prodigious intellect on superficial family fare which does not merit the detailed analysis she gives; still, viewers might see the irony of giving term paper-style reviews of facile kiddie cartoons as charming and entertaining.
"The Nostalgia Chick", like "The Nostalgia Critic", combines the visual art of Youtube entertainment with the biting wit and satire of written sources (humor-based Internet film and TV review sites targeted towards a young adult audience, like the Onion AV Club, but also earlier humor magazines like SPY Magazine and the National Lampoon). By combining intelligence and humor to her reviews, "The Nostalgia Chick" is sure to draw in a large audience of primarily college students. Highly recommended for young and older adults.

Lindsay Ellis plays a character known as the Nostalgia Chick who reviews classic movies in light of adult issues. Or at least, that's as much as I can get in a nutshell. She, as a member of Channel Awesome is in name an exhibition reviewer, i.e a reviewer who produces reviews for entertainment. However, Lindsay is best when she deals with adult issues in media, such as feminism in an area which is male-dominated. In a way, that reflects her position on the site, as she is part of a minority of female reviewers. In fact, she was chosen for the site on the basis that the site was imbalanced.
If you're expecting another Nostalgia Critic, who picks apart movies for every flaw while making jokes, you're going to be disappointed. Lindsay is different, her reviews are much more big-picture and, rather than dealing with the movie chronologically, deals with it in parts. This makes for an interesting review style which sets her apart from the other reviewers on the site.
So, to conclude, The Nostalgia Chick is a must-see for all fans of cinema and nostalgia.

First of all: I can't believe that this show hasn't got higher ratings. This is just ridiculous.
Nostalgia Chick is a spin-of of The Nostalgia Critic and is part of the Channel Awesome team. NChick has developed a different style than the NC, which is more interesting than just going through a movie chronologically and pointing out the ridiculousness on screen. NChick did this in the beginning but has introduced a level of analysis to the show – that makes you feel like you're getting more out of it than a laugh. It has a nice balance between seriousness and comedy, the latter has improved a lot after including Lindsay's friends; Nella and Elisa. One of my favorite moments is in the review of a My Little Pony movie – which in itself would make you want to bang your head against the wall – but gets absolutely epic combined with Nella playing with her old My Little Pony.
Having watched a lot of Channel Awesome-contributors lately, I'm really getting to appreciate the over-all quality of this show - especially after watching The Nostalgia Critic. Yes, he's really funny, but his show has a rather monotone form. You always knows what's going to happen; yelling in frustration, drinking, shooting at the screen etc. With NChick You never quite know what's going to happen and it makes the show feel much fresher than others. Not to mention her on-screen presence which never turns awkward – unless David Bowie is in sight.

A shame this stood in the shadows of many other big nerd Youtube reviewers. If you love 90s cartoons watch the Thumbelina review.
This show is what propelled Lindsay Ellis to (internet) fame and for good reason. She carved out her own niche in the Channel Awesome show, with some rather insightful analysis of bigger issues rather than just plot holes like the Nostalgia Critic does. She brings a lot of passion and knowledge to her videos which I appreciate.

- TriviaThe show was conceived in a contest on TGWTG.com. The win was a three-way tie between Ellis, Krissy Diggs (That Chick with the Goggles), and Kaylyn Saucedo (MarzGurl). The remaining two were allowed to post their own reviews.
