The Nostalgia Chick Episode "Dune, yo" (2010)

Lindsay Ellis, aka The Nostalgia Chick, is a famous internet film critic who reviews miscellaneous movies and TV shows with a dry sense of humor and analysis.

She came to the spotlight when Doug Walker, of comedy-review website That Guy With The Glasses, decided he needed a female reviewer to review female-oriented retro "nostalgic" media, and set up a contest. Ellis won, and became The Nostalgia Chick, making videos for the website since late 2008. Despite first starting as specializing in "girl media", she gradually turned into reviewing a different array of movies and other type of shows.

In 2010, The Nostalgia Chick uploaded a video review of the 1984 film Dune: "Dune, yo". The review got massive negative reactions from viewers and commentators, many criticizing Ellis' unfair bias and attitude against the movie. It was apparently so bad that she deleted the video and apologized by saying that her attitude was caused by getting drunk when she shot it.

What is staggering is that there is no mirror of the video anywhere available, on YouTube or wherever. The Nostalgia Chick is one of the most popular reviewers of the TGWTG website, and copies of their videos regularly pop out on YouTube or other video-sharing websites.

The Nostalgia Chick made other videos that she later deleted that were mirrored by fans on YouTube: Nostalgia Chick - The Fifth Element (review of the 1997 film) and TLC and the 90's (retrospective of the TLC band). Dune, yo has no mirrors whatever.

Lindsay Ellis was asked if she personally acted into deleting any viewable version of it on the Internet. She denied doing so.
