2024-07-27 19:22:17 +0000 UTCWhile I impatiently refresh hoping French Connection has gone up I just remembered, I was going to look when I made my previous comment, but I forgot: your vote matters! The French Connection beat Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels by two smoking votes (it had been only one when I looked at it last). Third place was only off by five votes, too (Donnie Brasco).

2024-07-26 03:03:25 +0000 UTCHopefully if the 2004 movie does win a Denzel poll they will also throw in the original beforehand.
Tyler Foster
2024-07-25 02:33:57 +0000 UTCI would be pretty bummed if they watch the 2004 Manchurian Candidate first, which is a strong possibility since many here mentioned it when they asked for more Denzel recs. I suspect the only way they would react to the original is if it won the monthly drawing.

2024-07-25 02:30:25 +0000 UTCI've said it before and so has someone else, but I'm going to echo one of the commenters here in recommending French Connection II. The reasons it's good are mostly different from the original, especially given how the original ends, but Hackman is just as good in the movie for different reasons, and the movie has a spectacular chase sequence that cleverly subverts that of the original movie. It's ludicrous, but the effectiveness is undeniable. Also, the same commenter I'm agreeing with above mentioned To Live and Die From L.A., also from Friedkin, which is another easy next step from French Connection, but if you also do French Connection II, I can add that you should check out the original Manchurian Candidate, by FCII director John Frankenheimer. A masterful thriller. Also worth checking out: the 2004 remake by Silence of the Lambs director Jonathan Demme, starring Denzel Washington.

2024-07-25 00:52:28 +0000 UTCUnlike Sling Blade, To Live and Die in L.A. is at least fully in-print on home video, and in fact even available in 4K from Kino Lorber.

2024-07-25 00:49:39 +0000 UTCWhat time is it good to be up on YouTube
Joun Asaad
2024-07-24 15:23:29 +0000 UTCYou guys are in for episodes 3,4,5 1,2 episodes were good but 3,4,5 are even better 😄👍🏽
Joun Asaad
2024-07-23 22:56:42 +0000 UTCThe Americans is my favorite multi-season drama of the last ten years, and I'm pretty sure most reactors (including Daniel & Sam) would love it too, but I'm not sure enough of the general public caught it when it aired to be glued to reactions to it now. The people who did, though, would be HARDCORE about watching those reactions.
Paul Cox
2024-07-23 21:45:43 +0000 UTCI still like the idea of TV shows for Patreon, with youtube to get them later when you have time to edit. I miss having a top-tier, multi-season show to watch since The Sopranos ended. The Wire would be incredible on this channel (I'd also take Deadwood or The Newsroom!)
Future Boy
2024-07-23 20:54:05 +0000 UTCOk that’s fine. Wednesday day is good 😀
Joun Asaad
2024-07-23 10:42:54 +0000 UTCI second Rome!
Catherine LW
2024-07-23 05:57:52 +0000 UTCSorry, Joun! It’ll be up Wednesday this week and then Tuesdays moving forward! Had some editing issues! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2024-07-23 05:16:38 +0000 UTCYeah I've watched a few of his reactions and he does pick up and elaborate on key filmmaking aspects that I wouldn't have otherwise noticed, but when it comes to internalizing the themes and meanings of the story he just watched it's basically static.
Paul Cox
2024-07-23 04:09:52 +0000 UTCI've seen him on YouTube. He comes off a bit pretentious, always analyzing the shots and expressing his technical filmmaking interpretations. I just want to watch a normal reaction. He seems like a good dude but I think I would strangle him to shut him up while watching a movie with him. LOL
Mr. Writhms
2024-07-23 02:47:55 +0000 UTCYay yay 🤩can’t wait it’s been a while for y’all react to cobra Kai
Joun Asaad
2024-07-23 02:31:12 +0000 UTCJames Vs Cinema has reacted to it.
Birdie Num Num
2024-07-23 00:49:19 +0000 UTCComing soon to a movie theater near you and coming to Cheney cinemas and streaming exclusively on Cheney plus with premier access it’s kung fu child Seymour dells the ape kid and murder at the Rosie o Donnell show
Kevin Cheney
2024-07-22 23:08:35 +0000 UTCThe main drawback to putting To Live And Die on the schedule would be a Slingblade scenario where they could certainly get a copy to react to but people who want to watch along would be out of luck because it's not streaming.
Paul Cox
2024-07-22 22:06:32 +0000 UTCThis is going to be random, but a while back in the Coming to America reaction, Schmitt said he could watch an entire movie of just dancing. In case you were serious about that (and if you haven't already seen it), you might like Center Stage (2000). It's a movie about a group of dancers trying to break into the professional ballet world (it also marks the film debut of Amanda Schull and Zoe Saldana).

2024-07-22 20:49:30 +0000 UTCHah!
Jay Davis
2024-07-22 20:05:50 +0000 UTCTo Live and Die in LA may be my favorite (redacted) movie. Not sure if it's a spoiler or not to say the actor's name ahead of time. IYKYK
Jay Davis
2024-07-22 19:52:24 +0000 UTCBoth these films won Best Picture Academy Awards. I'm guessing that is a first for the channel, to have 2 Best Pictures in the same week?
Birdie Num Num
2024-07-22 19:47:32 +0000 UTCHope you consider French Connection 2 at some point(even though probably only 5 people here have seen it), very underrated sequel, from John Frankenheimer, the director of Ronin. Also To Live and Die In LA(which has done ok in polls) which has another great chase scene from William Friedkin (the director of The French Connection)
Birdie Num Num
2024-07-22 19:44:38 +0000 UTCClassics! imho The French Connection may have the second best car chase ever put on film.
Jay Davis
2024-07-22 19:40:13 +0000 UTCI second Twin Peaks!
Odd Thomas
2024-07-22 18:25:19 +0000 UTCThere’s not too much rhyme or reason! We definitely take into account all the recommendations we get and then what makes sense for timing between shows we want to watch that are more currently, like Cobra Kai! Our goal is to start implementing more TV on Patreon and then whenever those are eventually edited they’d go up on YT but we haven’t gotten there yet for a filming schedule. Thank you for the recommendations! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2024-07-22 18:04:37 +0000 UTCThe YT edits will be going up on Tuesdays! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2024-07-22 18:02:50 +0000 UTCHonestly, not sure haha that’s why I didn’t put the episodes. We’ll get them uploaded as soon as they’re ready, even if that means all 5 episodes go up this week (doubtful)! But we’ve only currently watched episodes 1-2! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2024-07-22 18:02:33 +0000 UTCI’m curious about your overall approach to TV series. They’re obviously a big commitment, and some are purely too long to be practical. Others have probably mentioned these before, but I’ll list four great but short runs. Twin Peaks (2 seasons) Deadwood (3 seasons) Rome (2 seasons) The Third Day (just 6 episodes, and it’s a great thriller) All of these are excellent productions, and the bottom three are HBO. All of them are very engaging, and I’m a hard-sell for series.
David Wilkins
2024-07-22 16:37:50 +0000 UTCThe Bridge over the River Kwai is the definition of 80s parenting for me. I'm Belgian and I remember watching this movie over and over again, before I learned how to read subtitles... So I must have been 5 or 6 years old. Which is absolutely insane when you watch that movie.
Skinny_Obelix
2024-07-22 14:18:46 +0000 UTCYes, The French connection
christopher brown
2024-07-22 12:43:45 +0000 UTCI want know what day we’ll y’all react to cobra Kai
Joun Asaad
2024-07-22 11:19:42 +0000 UTCDoes the cobra kai for this poster imply two episodes are coming this week 3 & 4 or is it meant for the first two episodes you uploaded a couple days ago? 🤔

2024-07-22 07:12:10 +0000 UTCYes !!! French Connection is such a damn Classic !!! Never forget the Car Chase !!! First Oscar for Gene Hackman as Popeye Doyle ... Can't Wait !!!!
Florian Meier
2024-07-22 05:32:09 +0000 UTCNow that you say it, I'm amazed there's not one named the French Connection. That seems like a missed marketing opportunity
John W Foster
2024-07-22 04:34:04 +0000 UTCAwesome! I'm very excited for both of these!
Ron
2024-07-22 04:24:11 +0000 UTCThat's good to hear!
Brad P
2024-07-22 04:21:44 +0000 UTCThe uncensored version is back on Max and other services(and has been for a while) so yeah it seems like they did cave to public pressure.
Birdie Num Num
2024-07-22 04:20:21 +0000 UTCI wonder how many people think the French Connection is an accessory you can purchase for an adult toy.
James Rogers
2024-07-22 04:11:18 +0000 UTCWhat a great week! If you haven't already watched it, try to get ahold of an uncensored version of The French Connection. Disney owns the film now, via their acquisition of 20th Century Fox, and apparently made the bad decision to censor a racial slur uttered by Gene Hackman's character early in the film. It's not a deal breaker if you have to watch the censored version as it only amounts to about three missing seconds but movies should be left the way their filmmakers intended. The censoring only affects streaming copies and I haven't heard anything to suggest that Disney decided to reinstate the missing seconds due to public pressure.
Brad P
2024-07-22 04:06:27 +0000 UTCAmazing choices! I can not wait to re-watch these incredible classics with you!
TGrimace
2024-07-22 03:34:42 +0000 UTCI haven't seen it in 20 years but I remember liking it. It will be great rewatching it on this channel.
PIG
2024-07-22 03:30:17 +0000 UTCFrench Connection is quietly one of the most important films of that era, William Friedkin kicked open the door for film makers of his generation to make classics like The Godfather, China Town and The Deer Hunter
Leevon Peterson
2024-07-22 03:29:01 +0000 UTCAhhh, we are hitting a couple of golden age classics, Nice choice Dan and Sam!!!

2024-07-22 03:04:39 +0000 UTCVery excited for The French Connection. Gene Hackman at his best.
Stephen Malloy
2024-07-22 02:51:45 +0000 UTCWow two amazing films!!
Scott Kerr
2024-07-22 02:51:43 +0000 UTCWoah! Bitchin choices for movies!

Brent
2024-07-22 02:49:22 +0000 UTCI've been waiting for a French Connection reaction for a long time (well, since 2020, when I first got into reaction videos. lol) One of the BEST cop movies ever made with THE best car chase scene ever shot!
Mr. Writhms
2024-07-22 02:48:45 +0000 UTCYes! More David Lean!
Catherine LW
2024-07-22 02:48:25 +0000 UTCSome of probably the best films out there, but absolutely no fun at All. See you all next week.

2024-07-22 02:48:12 +0000 UTCMadness! MADNESS!
VivendoBem
2024-07-22 02:47:49 +0000 UTCWatched a couple eps of the new CK. Dig it. THE FRENCH CONNECTION is probably one of the first elaborate car chases ever. Billy Friedkin was the man back in his day. Also introduced us to Popeye Doyle. I had lunch once with Ed O'Neill who played Popeye in a TV movie which he made fun of when the killer was wearing sneakers, but the sound guy had him clomping up the stairs.
Philip Davetas
2024-07-22 02:46:26 +0000 UTCBridge on the River Kwai PLUS French Connection? Be still my heart!
