"Prometheus" is the only other "Alien" movie to which I care to see Addie react... though I view it as more of an in-universe spinoff than a proper prequel. I honestly feel it would've greatly benefited from a more genuinely committed sequel than what we got with "Covenant," which basically ran away from Shaw's arc (i.e. the most interesting aspect of the movie, IMO) and gave it only a very lip service resolution. No matter how good the Assembly Cut of "Alien3" may be, I still can't get past that fact that it deliberately reverted to the status quo at the beginning (i.e. killing off certain "Aliens" characters before they even get to be seen again) -- the same reason I can't bring myself to see any of the "Men in Black" sequels, given that Agent L is immediately erased from the franchise in the second one.

2024-07-19 16:11:07 +0000 UTCWith the new Alien movie coming out in theaters soon. Will you be watching anymore of the older films? True 3 and most the rest have there multiple issues. Resurrection 4th film is all 90s in all its glory. Could skip the films from the 90s and go right to Prometheus. Although Allen 3 isn't as bad people say with its 2003 SE. Known as The Assembly Cut. If time an issue skip right to Ridleys Prometheus. Keep up your great work!

2024-07-15 18:25:52 +0000 UTCHow about Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009)?

2024-07-14 23:02:41 +0000 UTCAre you a "local yokel"? That is, were you born and raised near where you live today? From what areas of the country does your family (parents and grandparents) hail?

2024-07-14 14:53:14 +0000 UTCActually I wanted her opinion on the performance itself amd not the circumstances around it but thanks for assuming I didn't ask the question in a way that would frame it the way I wanted.
The Dingo
2024-07-13 13:28:53 +0000 UTCIt might help her understand if you gave some background. My Cousin Vinny was one of her very first roles and she was up against some really big names. After she won the Oscar people were saying she was too inexperienced and young to win (she was 26). There were also rumors the person announcing the win messed up and incorrectly said she won and the academy just went with it. Trivia: Her mother’s name is Adelaide, but Maria called her "Addie"
Scot Jebens
2024-07-13 13:27:40 +0000 UTCAre you going to finish the Ocean’s movies?
George Stapp
2024-07-13 11:56:34 +0000 UTCYour "Planet of the Apes" reaction was your first pre-'70s movie reaction since "Psycho." Could we see more in the future? I feel it's been the biggest void on your channel so far.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-07-13 04:03:13 +0000 UTCA few weeks ago, the reaction compilation channel J2O posted their video for What If episode 8 and put you on their thumbnail!! What are your reactions to that?

2024-07-13 03:31:53 +0000 UTCI personally consider Lost probably the last great TV series made for broadcast television. I've always gathered from interviews that the beginning and the end were always in place; it was the middle that was always a big grey area. Nonetheless, I still feel the last 3 seasons felt a bit rushed at times -- no doubt an over correction on the producers' part to placate all those who were pissing and moaning about the second and third seasons running at a more deliberate, leisurely pace.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-07-13 01:27:42 +0000 UTCDo you think Marissa Tomei deserved an Oscar for her performance in My Cousin Vinny? What are your thoughts about her winning an Oscar?
The Dingo
2024-07-13 00:45:47 +0000 UTCI imagine she’d just have a frozen shocked expression on her face the whole video. I’d like to see her do it also. When I walked into the theater on opening day, I never thought I was going to be seeing my favorite musical of all time!
Scot Jebens
2024-07-13 00:24:26 +0000 UTCThat’s another really good one.

2024-07-12 13:53:26 +0000 UTCHeyyy, it’s A M A for July! 6 down and 6 to go for 2024! Let’s do this! We see you, but what do you see? May we get a peek at what you see, your setup and your POV? Do you record yourself on a camera or a computer? Let’s visit your favorite subject, DOGS!

2024-07-12 13:29:50 +0000 UTCYou've managed to get through a couple of Verhoeven's greatest hits (Starship Troopers, Total Recall), but will you complete the trifecta with Robocop?
Andre Agog
2024-07-12 04:59:07 +0000 UTCHow about Das Boot (1981) (pronounced “dahs bohht”)?
Alex Tan
2024-07-12 04:52:53 +0000 UTCSo if someone watched your Team America reaction, and then joined your Patreon for a year, how likely would it be that that person could convince you to react to South Park??? I'm asking for a friend...
Raj Hudek
2024-07-12 04:49:14 +0000 UTCDo you have any interest in watching submarine movies like The Hunt for Red October or Crimson Tide? Those are two of my favorites and two I think you’d really enjoy, but there are lots of other good ones out there too. It’s not a submarine movie but Greyhound with Tom Hanks is another good naval movie, that one is special to me because my great grandfather was in the Atlantic Convoys in WWII.

2024-07-12 00:01:16 +0000 UTCI was so into that show until it became obvious that they didn’t plan ahead and after the first season and a half, it was just unfollowable to me. Such a great premise wasted. I don’t want to shoot down your idea though, it was probably just me that got LOST. See what I did there?
Scot Jebens
2024-07-11 23:51:02 +0000 UTCsince october is almost here. which i know your not a fan of horror movies but if you watch like vampire or werewolf type movies here is a list the howling an american werewolf in london stephen king's silver bullet fright night 1985 the lost boys bram stoker's dracula and john carpenter's vampires
drew
2024-07-11 21:26:43 +0000 UTCHi Addie. I know you’re not much of a horror movie fan, but I have a suggestion for one: Stir of Echoes. It stars Kevin Bacon, which is awesome because, well, he’s awesome. Also, it’s from that great year 1999 movies and one that is so under seen and underrated. It’s nowhere near as scary as The Shining. It’s more of a psychological thriller. Would you consider this movie for the channel?
Cameron Kerby
2024-07-11 20:40:01 +0000 UTCHi Addie! From the movies/series that you watched, is there one that, according to you, would definitely deserve to have its dedicated theme park? (and still doesn't have one to your knowledge, at least not in America)
Guillaume Huet
2024-07-11 20:32:28 +0000 UTCJust a quick suggestion for a dog-movie poll, it didn’t look like you’ve tried one yet. 🐶 And either way if you do a poll or not, here are a few decent doggie films that I didn’t see on the channel, at least. But if you’ve seen some please feel free to comment! - The Secret Life of Pets - Marley and Me - Best in Show - Pick of the Litter - Homeward Bound (1993) - The Adventures of Milo and Otis - Isle of Dogs - Shiloh - Lady and the Tramp - A Boy and his Dog - Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers And special mention to Wilfred, the bizarrely offbeat television comedy about a man who sees his dog as a guy in a dog suit. (I never saw the Australian version but the American FX series starring Elijah Wood was great. 😄)
Doug
2024-07-11 20:27:35 +0000 UTCWhen you reviewed Firefly/Serenity, you didn't comment on River often being barefoot (even leaving the ship barefoot a few times). Other people who do reactions found that strange of her, and was wondering what you thought of it.
Brandon Pierce
2024-07-11 19:13:42 +0000 UTCHow many times have you been to New York? I live in Italy but I go to New York whenever I can, I love it so much!
Carlo Glingani
2024-07-11 18:16:16 +0000 UTCDo you plan to watch more TV series in the future? Have you ever considered starting to watch LOST?
Carlo Glingani
2024-07-11 18:15:06 +0000 UTCHi Addie, have you ever considered the idea of watching Man of Steel and starting the DC Extended Universe franchise?
Carlo Glingani
2024-07-11 18:14:22 +0000 UTCBecause you were in a theater production of Xanadu, why not review the movie and talk about your experiences?
Scot Jebens
2024-07-11 17:53:14 +0000 UTCWould you be interested in doing very "music-heavy" movies? "Tommy"(1975) & "The Wall"(1982) specifically (they're "rock operas", so basically music from start to finish), but there are others as well. If the music copyrights are too big of a YouTube obstacle, could they be Patreon exclusives? Thanks Addie, I LOVE watching your channel, you're amazing! 💖
LaserLamb
2024-07-11 17:34:01 +0000 UTCI fully support watching Kari Wuhrer's entire catalog
Luis Fernandez
2024-07-11 17:21:08 +0000 UTCDon’t forget Beastmaster 2. Kari Wuhrer was the cutest thing I’d ever seen when I was 14. It’s an awful movie, but I didn’t care.
Scot Jebens
2024-07-11 17:16:10 +0000 UTCFor this month's recommendations, I'll go with some 80's fantasy selections: Clash of the Titans (1981), The Beastmaster (1982), Krull (1983), and Dreamscape (1984). Not sure if Dreamscape is really considered "fantasy", but we can call it fantasy-adjacent.
Luis Fernandez
2024-07-11 17:02:44 +0000 UTCA movie studio approaches you and you are given the opportunity to direct a movie. There are two conditions: a) you must shoot an updated version of a movie you've seen for the channel, and b) you must cast the Muppet "Rizzo the Rat" as the male lead. Which movie would you choose?
Luis Fernandez
2024-07-11 17:02:20 +0000 UTCI Think looking around social media you have been away a few times of late. You still post here and on youtube but how do you do it? Don't you ever just switch off and spend time with family and loved ones away from working. 😘

2024-07-11 16:53:45 +0000 UTCWhy is my Anatolian Shepherd supposed to be a big brave guard dog but he’s actually just a big whiny baby?
Thomas Wetherell
2024-07-11 16:38:48 +0000 UTCSo when will you watch Dances with Wolves? How about Jerry Maguire? I'm hoping you'll love them both as much as most of us do! Ollie: Do you have 7 meals a day like a Hobbit? Would you like to?!? The world needs to know! 😁

2024-07-11 16:02:56 +0000 UTCHi Addie, how was NYC? Did you & Jeremy have a good time there? I went to NYC with my parents in March of last year and we enjoyed it. How about taking BuzzFeed's "What Movie Genre Am I?" Quiz? https://www.buzzfeed.com/zanebridges20/movie-genre-personality-quiz In your last Q&A, after Ollie jump scared the crap out of you, there was a zoom-in shot of your empty chair with Ollie barking in the background, what happened afterwards? I noticed that you often wear sweaters or long sleeves during some of your movie reactions in the summer. How easily do you get cold? What are your favorite chick flicks? Have you heard? Freaky Friday 2 (2025) with Lindsay Lohan & Jamie Lee Curtis is now filming. My girlfriend & I plan on seeing it in theaters next year. Will you react to Beverly Hills Cop III (1994) & Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. (2024)? Despite what you heard in the song "The End of An Act" from Team America: World Police (2004), are you still open to watching Pearl Harbor (2001) with Ben Affleck? Will you do a rewatch reaction to Despicable Me (2010) so you can watch its three sequels and the two Minions spinoffs on your channel? My girlfriend & I saw Despicable Me 4 (2024) in IMAX and we both enjoyed it. Will you also do a rewatch reaction to Inside Out (2015) so you can watch its sequel on your channel, when it comes out on Disney+?
