Hi Jacqui! I'm a late Boomer, long time music reaction viewer, and movie reaction viewer for the past year or so, but I just discovered you and I'm kicking myself for not discovering you sooner. My favorite reactions are reactionalysis. While I enjoy the vicarious enjoyment of seeing a beloved performance through the eyes of a first-time viewer, I really, really love to learn. And that's what your reactionalysis does for me. I can "feel" the movie anew (like seeing you cry to Logan while I'm crying too), but I can *learn* more about why some movies have the power to move me from your informed perspective. Learning from you, as my eldest used to say when he was a child (he's probably your age or older) "feels me better." To give you (and your fellow patreons) a sense of what I am talking about, my favorite music reviewers are Charismatic Voice (Elizabeth Zharoff) and Fairy Voice Mother (Lolli Wren). I'd strongly encourage you to watch a couple of their reactionalyses to understand the parallels between what you are able to accomplish here and what they do in singing and music. Also, you'll notice my pattern: they're beautiful redheaded women too. (I can't help that, nor do I want to). I got laid off middle of last year...first time in my 36 year career I haven't had a job...so I won't be able to upgrade and participate in polls and such until (if) I get a job again too young to retire, too old to rehire). Hence the overly long note that follows. I'd really love to see you tackle some of the movies I use in my classes. I teach political science and public administration (policy analysis) and I used movies as "co-intentional objects" so that, while we're in the classroom for a very short period of time each week, everyone has the same experience with the same content as the basis for discussion for social problems and solutions. My regular lineup includes: The Death of Stalin (2017), Dir. Armando Iannucci The Lives of Others (2006), Dir. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck Traffic (2000), Dir. Steven Soderburg The People vs Larry Flynt (1996), Dir. Milos Forman Thank You For Smoking (2005), Dir. Jason Reitman A Clockwork Orange (1971), Dir. Stanley Kubrick 1984, (1984), Dir. Michael Radford I'm planning to introduce Oppenheimer (2023), Dir. Christopher Nolan Barbie (2023), Dir. Greta Gerwig Full Metal Jacket (1987) Dir. Stanley Kubrick I'd be really excited to add your insights of these movies from the filmmaker's perspective to my classroom...as in, I'd assign your video along with the movie itself. I ever get the guts to follow through with my latest idea, I'd probably ask for permission to use clips of your reactionalysis as an artistic counterpoint to my own reactionalysis videos. Unemployment has had me thinking for months about starting my own movie reactionalysis YT channel ("old dog, new tricks" is the working title) where I essentially walk the viewer through the socio-political analysis I've done with my students over the 20+ years I've been teaching with movies. Again, thank you so much for your work and insight. Best regards, Howard.

2025-02-12 16:54:22 +0000 UTCKeep taking care of yourself, and as someone who's trying to get into the content game...I get how much work it is, and how real life gets in the way. Can't wait for you to catch up to our loop! ....wait, wait, stop making me think of Westworld.

2025-02-02 23:40:57 +0000 UTCI just want to say, Severance is in no way being overhyped. Not that anyone said it was, just: it REALLY is THAT good. And not only that, I think you’re going to love it more than the average person (reactor or otherwise). I’m not just saying this because I loved it so much. I also really, really loved For All Mankind. And I think you’d like that one too. But man, Severance will be so good for this channel… I can’t subscribe preemptively because I just started a new job I’m not sure about and my old company no longer exists, but if I’m still employed when Severance drops I will be an instant subscriber.

2025-02-02 21:18:04 +0000 UTCFor Parks and Rec, the first six-episode season was all shot back to back to back, so there was very little room for course correction. Season 2 is all course correction and finding their footing; lots of good episodes through season 2. The end of season 2 and seasons 3-4 are the show at its best, though it never stops being good.

2025-02-02 21:06:00 +0000 UTCThanks for the prompt response! I get it though, humour is subjective and you already have a jam-packed schedule. You're right about Parks and Rec, it really gets better after the first season. Nick Offerman is a treasure. BTW I mostly recommended comedies because you have a great laugh, but I do love the rest of your catalogue. Keep up the great work!

2025-02-02 07:55:16 +0000 UTCHaha fair enough. I'm familiar enough with HIMYM, but admittedly, it was never really my show. I've been curious to try Parks & Rec again, because everyone says it gets better after the first season. I could never get into it, so maybe I need to give it another shot. I have seen Superstore (which is an excellent series, and I made a few jokes about it in Fallout, since Johnny Pemberton is in both series 😄) I know I watched a few episodes of Silicon Valley and didn't really get into it, but could be willing to give it another try. And Big Bang Theory was always a staple in my house, and I go back to it a lot as a comfort series. I watched the Summer Glau episode right after i finished Firefly. I haven't seen Wilfred though! I don't think it's ever come up as a recommendation, so I'll have to add it to the list for future polls. I'm admittedly very picky about comedy, so alas, may not vibe with everything. I'm always willing to try though! You never know 😊

2025-02-02 07:29:01 +0000 UTCOk, challenge accepted (obvious reference to How I met your mother if you haven't seen it). Parks & Recreation and Superstore are both well-written many-seasoned comedy shows. Silicon Valley and Big Bang Theory are hilarious in a nerdy way. And if you want to go crazy, try Wilfred.

2025-02-02 06:43:28 +0000 UTCYes! I would love to do comedy shows, they just don't come up as often in recommendations, it seems. I've been dying to watch Abbott Elementary and The Bear, among others, so we'll have to see. Alas, I've already seen Community, so I wouldn't be able to do a first time reaction to it. Great recommendation, though!

2025-02-02 02:12:07 +0000 UTCGreat advice, thank you! I remember having gaps between watching episodes in season 1, so definitely revisiting it before season 2. I've started editing the first season already, which is the best recap I could ask for, since I wind up watching the episodes half a dozen times in the course of editing lol.

2025-02-02 02:11:20 +0000 UTCI can't wait for both Shrinking season 2, and Severance. I feel so out of the loop 😂
Movie Night
2025-02-02 02:03:20 +0000 UTCYes! It will go to YouTube eventually. Because of how long the series is, I want to do a few episodes per video, so I need to be far enough ahead with filming that I don't overrun myself.

2025-02-02 02:02:29 +0000 UTCHi, I'm back after a longer absence and I'm glad things looking good for you rn. As for "Arcane": If you haven't started watching yet, I highly recommend you to watch for yourself the recap of season 1 on netflix, listed before episode 1 of season 2. This is really necessary if you haven't seen season 1 in a while, cause season 2 takes off immediately where season 1 ended...🙂

2025-02-01 10:40:20 +0000 UTCHi Jacqui, I love your reactions! I can't wait to see the rest of your Expanse, Pacific and Shogun reactions. Have you ever thought about reacting to comedy shows? I would love to see you watch Community. Smart writing by Dan Harmon and hilarious performances by a great cast including Donald Glover, Alison Brie, Joel McHale and Danny Pudi. Strongly recommended if you haven't seen it already.

2025-02-01 09:38:13 +0000 UTCA lot of plans. Unfortunately, there are no series here I am interested in. Only a few very specific episodes of Buffy/Angel, but that is not enough for me to join. I hope everyone else enjoys what she is doing.

2025-01-31 13:01:58 +0000 UTCIs Expanse coming to Youtube?

2025-01-30 20:27:37 +0000 UTCThanks for the update. I'm glad things are finally coming together for you! Looking forward to lots of great content.

2025-01-30 19:29:12 +0000 UTCAppreciate the update! Although I'm definitely one of the guys really asking for Severance, I get wanting to complete what you've got going first. I think you'll enjoy Shrinking, I thought Season 2 was a big improvement over season 1, as most of the cast is really settling into their roles.

2025-01-30 19:14:59 +0000 UTC!!! Structure! And plans! HWAT
