| Crossed (Web Video) | comment |
Crossed is a French Web Video series hosted by Karim Debbache, that ran from February 2013 to April 2014. The topic is simple: films that are either adapted from video games, or are about video games. They can be old or not so old, bad, good or okay, but Karim has a lot of things to say on every one of them, and only 10-15 minutes to say them. While the tone is humoristic and often sarcastic, it is usually peppered with detailed analyses of what did and did not work in said film, as well as comments on its (or its director's) history, or on cinematic techniques in general.Little sketches often intervene, featuring his two sidekicks Gilles Stella (the show's image and sound manager) and Jérémy Morvan, or Kamel Debbiche, a double of him from an Alternate Universe. The show is pretty fast-paced, and often draws its humour from it. Crossed's run wasn't very long, as Karim hadn't planned on making more than 25-30 episodes, to avoid a situation where he would have always been repeating the same things after a while.However, in January of 2016, Karim and his friends started a new show, Chroma, that can be considered a Spiritual Successor to Crossed minus the video game topic, with longer episodes and the analytical aspect pushed further.If you're curious but don't speak French, here's the first episode subtitled in English.Not to be confused with the Garth Ennis comic series.Movies reviewed in Crossed: Super Mario Bros.

Tropaholics Anonymous: The Gamer review starts with Karim solemnly declaring that he has a problem he wants to talk about... he likes Crank. Then Jeremy starts talking about his drinking problem but Karim stops him with "It was a joke dude, it's not an actual meeting." | |

Massive Multiplayer Crossover: In the Street Fighter episode, he says that about half of the characters are useless and only there for Pandering to the Base. He then adds that he could make movies himself with this recipe, then shows a short (barely) animated sequence featuring Son Goku, Slash, Totoro, Batman, Freddy Krueger, and ET, hanging out in the street before being arrested by Harry Callahan. | |

All Asians Know Martial Arts: He mentions it very-briefly during his hyper-fast enumeration of the graveyard fight scene's flaws in House of the Dead (where the Asian girl uses her martial art skills), noting this trope is actually awfully racist. | |

Excuse Plot: While a few of the movies reviewed have this, Karim notes that Mortal Kombat: Annihilation goes beyond that point by not having a plot at all and being basically just a succession of random fights. | |

What the Hell, Casting Agency? | |
| Crossed (Web Video) / int_72ffb6a2 | comment |
WTH, Casting Agency?: In-Universe, during the Alone in the Dark review, it is how Karim reacts to Tara Reid being the archaeologist Aline Cedrac. This is also how he reacted to Christophe Lambert not reprising his role as Raiden in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Because Lambert was working on Beowulf (1999), probably the worst film of his career. | |

Spoiler: The reviews usually have a summary of the whole plot, including the ending. When this is a film about videogame which has a twist ending, he precedes said spoiler by a warning screen advising the viewer to stop the video here if they want to watch the movie and discover the ending by themselves. Averted in the Ra.One episode. He stopped the plot's summary in the middle of the review after stating that the movie was basically a Terminator 2: Judgment Day rip off, and that describing it any longer would just spoil the latter movie. | |
