SOME IMPORTANT STUFF
Added 2024-07-07 22:15:11 +0000 UTCHope everyone had a great week. Almost all of you were understanding of our week off and wished us a relaxing break; thank you for that. Another reminder of how amazing this community is. Here is some stuff to note:
Pinned post has been updated to include the full weekly schedule. If you ever have questions about when something is coming, look there first.
We are finishing TNG season 3 this month. The UNCUT finale reaction will post Sunday, July 28th. We are not watching it live. There will be a 3 week break, and then TNG Season 4 UNCUT reactions will start on Patreon Thursday, August 22nd. UNCUT reactions for GOT, BSG & other content will still be posted during those 3 weeks.
We plan to have a LIVE stream on YouTube in August where we will do tier lists and Q&A regarding season 3. We will be going back to pre-recorded & produced videos for our season 3 top episode lists & recap.
Fan Mail video is coming... apologies for the delays. We planned to do it during the last movie lottery recording day, but then the winning movie was a 3-hour drama. We should be able to get it done this month.
July's Movie Reaction Lottery Drawing is THIS WEDNESDAY at 6pm! TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC tier patrons - if you have not gotten your entry submitted, please do so ASAP by commenting on this post or messaging us here on Patreon. Attached is the current list of entries. If you do not see your name, WE DO NOT HAVE YOUR ENTRY! I have also attached a list of frequently requested movies and marked which ones we have seen in case you need some help in deciding. Over 100 patrons in this tier have not entered. IT COMES WITH YOUR MEMBERSHIP! Might as well take advantage.
I thought it may be helpful for those who only usually watch Star Trek with us to get a better idea of our movie tastes. Here is a short summary for each of us.
ALEX
Loves psychological thrillers, 80s-2010s horror, and character dramas. Enjoys complex narratives, multi-layered plots and intense atmospheres. Has a preference for isolated films that take place in one location and depend on character acting. He also appreciates well-crafted dramas and action films. While he will enjoy slower-paced movies with a strong narrative and payoff, he tends to dislike those that fail to engage him with a strong hook. TOP 3 MOVIES - Shutter Island, The Shining, The Thing
JOSH
Interested in most genres, but specifically loves horror, psychological thrillers, musicals, & comedies. He appreciates imaginative storytelling and engaging characters, often gravitating towards films with strong emotional beats and unique premises. He seeks out movies with innovative concepts and film techniques as well as a sense of wonder that blends humor and heart. However, he tends to dislike movies that feel thematically outdated, lack a compelling narrative, have flat/static characters, or fail to deliver on their premise. TOP 3 MOVIES - Arrival, Inception, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory

BUMMER I was really hoping to see a live reaction to the season 3 finale

2024-07-11 20:35:20 +0000 UTCNot here in Europe. Because of the initial 2 year TV broadcast delay for TNG here, when seasoson 3 ended......season 4 started the very next week.

2024-07-09 01:50:25 +0000 UTCI really enjoy that film 👍👍👍

2024-07-08 19:31:44 +0000 UTCAre you sure you can wait that long to see season 4 episode 1????
Reality Strikes
2024-07-08 18:06:52 +0000 UTCThat 3 week break, though standard is going to be extremely painful. Better than several months when the show was running, but it's gonna hurt.

2024-07-08 17:09:57 +0000 UTCLove to see you guys tackle some old school universal monsters or Hammer Harry gotta respect the past to appreciate the future

2024-07-08 14:09:39 +0000 UTCWell 3 weeks are better than us OG’s had to wait
Scarpad’s Domain
2024-07-08 14:08:14 +0000 UTCSince it’s a lottery, the same movie selection across multiple people increases the odds, right? If so, I’ll add my vote with those who picked “Master and Commander.”
Tom Occhipinti
2024-07-08 07:18:49 +0000 UTCBeverly Hills Cop (1984)!
Anthony Goodwin
2024-07-08 07:11:31 +0000 UTCHey I have an idea how about you give me the list of 100 patreon members who haven't submitted an entry and I'll just submit my pick 100 times? What do you 🤔 think? Anyway just a thought. You guys are doing a bang up job Cheers 🍻
Sherman Lin
2024-07-08 06:26:23 +0000 UTCNevermind, I actually checked the lists and you've both seen it. Voting for Halloween (1986) then.
LMPGames
2024-07-08 06:10:56 +0000 UTCCan’t see it on the list anywhere. If not seen already I’ll go with Se7en (1995)
Jon1701
2024-07-08 05:56:12 +0000 UTCSo many great movies on your list you haven’t seen, but definitely Kalifornia! It’s the only movie I ever liked Brad Pitt’s performance (besides Fight Club) and for spoilerish reasons I can’t say, you’ll find a reason to really enjoy it.
Glenn Johnson Barnes
2024-07-08 05:42:48 +0000 UTCi don't cling to the bad memories.
Jovet
2024-07-08 05:42:40 +0000 UTCWe will do that!
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-07-08 03:53:41 +0000 UTCAre Trekkies (1997) and Trekkies 2 (2004) on your radar? Both are official theatrically released documentaries, distributed by Paramount - and are fascinating & often funny looks at Trek fandom culture. Would be amazing if you reacted to them at the appropriate times in the release order timeline.
Matt Everkoul
2024-07-08 03:46:47 +0000 UTCThe problem with free enterprise is there is no good version of it available. Robert Meyer Burnett REALLY wants to redo it and put it out in 4k but he can't the rights to do it which is a shame. BTW it's always fun to watch Rob rage about modern Trek, worth checking him out if you haven't.
Todd Pritchett
2024-07-08 03:37:41 +0000 UTCThe mention of psychological thrillers with intense atmospheres made it jump right into my mind, but I think it is the surprise inclusion of the Broadway-style song and dance numbers that really makes it have something for each of you.

2024-07-08 03:28:36 +0000 UTCI say 13th Floor as well. It was an underwatched, but ahead of its time concept film.
Zee Doctere
2024-07-08 02:52:14 +0000 UTCIf not “The Exorcist”, then I recommend Richard Donner’s psychological horror masterpiece, “The Omen”! Put me down for that one! Thanks, Alex! 👍
Raphael Gaytan
2024-07-08 02:50:44 +0000 UTCNope!
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-07-08 02:20:27 +0000 UTCNot for the movie lottery because I'm not TD tier. I just want to make sure you saw my comment on the YT Twilight Zone video about the movie "Free Enterprise". Two guys who are good friends and been Star Trek fans since they were kids, one day they meet William Shatner and somehow become friends. William Shatner plays (a version of) himself in the movie. Whether you do a reaction to it or watch it in your own time, I just want to make sure you knew this movie existed. Take care!
Drawkcabi
2024-07-08 02:18:36 +0000 UTCI'm not in the TD tier, but reading the description of your tastes in movies, I find myself wondering if either of you have ever seen "Arlington Road"?
Regan
2024-07-08 01:40:42 +0000 UTCKeep Courage in that case
Timothy Nikiforovs
2024-07-08 01:00:17 +0000 UTCWe always take a 2-3 week break between seasons, you should've had that built in!!
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-07-08 00:49:08 +0000 UTCWe have you down for Courage Under Fire, would you like to change? I believe Alex has seen Warrior
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-07-08 00:48:39 +0000 UTCA three week break? Oh you're gonna regret that. I finally wrote up my expected schedule for your viewings the rest of the year, now I'm gonna have to change it. 😀

Timothy Nikiforovs
2024-07-08 00:25:53 +0000 UTCHmmm.. I'll take a shot with John Sayles's 'Lone Star' (1996).
Dor

2024-07-07 23:24:29 +0000 UTCMovie Lottery is a benefit for TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC tier patrons, but thank you for the recommendations. We both LOVE Frailty! Don't be surprised to see a TA commentary for that film one day!
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-07-07 23:24:03 +0000 UTCThanks Raphael! We have both seen The Exorcist! We both appreciate it with Josh enjoying it quite a bit. We haven't watched it together though. We could add this movie, or you could pick another, let us know!

2024-07-07 23:21:16 +0000 UTCTo be clear, you get ONE movie. If your movie wins the lottery you do not get another.
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-07-07 23:20:58 +0000 UTCCan I suggest Victor/Victoria for Josh. Musical and one of the funniest movies I've ever seen with an amazing cast.
Linda Thackeray
2024-07-07 23:20:43 +0000 UTCI vote alfred hitchcock's lifeboat
Patrick Smith
2024-07-07 23:15:35 +0000 UTCIf you haven't seen the movie "Identity" I highly recommend that. If you have, then "Dark City." If you have seen both...well done! Then I would suggest "Frailty."
Paul O'Neal
2024-07-07 23:06:22 +0000 UTCI have to submit a vote for my personal favorite horror movie of all time…”The Exorcist”! Josh and Alex, you guys don’t know me from Adam, but after watching TA for some time now…in another reality, I could have called you both friends! If you love good psychological horror, an Oscar-worthy cast, and excellent 1973 practical effects that still are unmatched by today’s CGI…and assuming you haven’t already seen it…this one will make one HELL of an impression! There’s a reason it’s been often copied but never duplicated!
Raphael Gaytan
2024-07-07 23:05:45 +0000 UTCCool. I'll wait until after the one I admitted wins.
Monty Crawford
2024-07-07 23:04:24 +0000 UTCHi Josh and Alex. After reading your likes. I would like to submit Fallen with Denzel Washington. But if you seen that one. Conspiracy Theory with Mel Gibson and Julia Robert’s. Both great movies in my humble opinion.
Miki Ah Heong
2024-07-07 23:03:43 +0000 UTCIt’s posted to everyone because there is important info in the post beyond that one part.

2024-07-07 22:58:30 +0000 UTCWhoops my bad. Surprised I'm even seeing this if I'm on the wrong tier. No worries!
Alexander McKechnie
2024-07-07 22:58:29 +0000 UTCThose 3 weeks between watching the end of TNG season 3 and starting 4.......should be interesting......(obviously this is spoiler territory).
Numinous2019
2024-07-07 22:56:24 +0000 UTCCan we put in more than one movie entry?
Monty Crawford
2024-07-07 22:54:24 +0000 UTCYou're awake from cryo-sleep! Hope it was nice to unplug for a while.
StonyD
2024-07-07 22:35:20 +0000 UTCI vote for Highlander. There can be only one.

2024-07-07 22:35:14 +0000 UTCMovie Lottery is for TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC tier patrons, but there actually are several who have chosen Master and Commander!

Juan Tutrífor
2024-07-07 22:29:15 +0000 UTCMy favorite psychological thriller is also Willy Wonka.
JD Nevesytrof
2024-07-07 22:28:21 +0000 UTCAppreciate the info, and the info about your movie tastes! In that spirit, please might I change my film choice? I did have samurai cop but would like to change it to Primer

2024-07-07 22:27:14 +0000 UTCI believe Kirk actually prefers walks in the town of Mayberry.
