CinemaSins
YouTube channel
CinemaSins is a YouTube channel created by Jeremy Scott and Chris Atkinson. The channel produces the "Everything Wrong With..." series that offers critique and commentary on movies. As of November 28, 2025, CinemaSins has approximately 9,180,000 subscribers and over 4.0 billion video views. Its slogan is "No Movie Is Without Sin," indicating that even the greatest films ever made still have flaws. The channel's founders have since established a stand-alone website, CinemaSins.com, operating concurrently with the YouTube channel.
History
Scott and Atkinson met in 1999 while working as managers at a movie theater and had a shared love for movies. Atkinson had worked at the theater since he was a teenager. The two began to preview new Friday releases the prior Thursday after the theater closed, and would criticize and crack jokes during the early showing. On May 9, 2011, they launched the YouTube channel "thecussingchannel" which contains supercuts of various films such as "Just the Cussing" for Pulp Fiction and "Just the Spells" for all 8 of the Harry Potter films, as well as four Apple ad parodies narrated by Scott. In addition to writing articles for ReelSEO, Scott founded the Internet marketing firm The Viral Orchard, and Atkinson wrote for his movie review blog.

Why this record matters
“CinemaSins” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, CinemaSins, YouTube and channel provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15994982. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025, 1999 and 2011.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
