This is my favorite Mike Flanagan show and I am so curious about your reaction Franky

2025-05-03 18:45:41 +0000 UTCThanks Lily. This Sci-Fi show has been recommended a lot actually. It's on my radar for sure
Franklin
2025-03-20 15:48:22 +0000 UTCI don't know if you'll see this comment but I would love it if you would eventually react to the show From, it's a pretty good show so far and I would love to see what you think about it! 💜

2025-03-18 13:42:20 +0000 UTCI haven't but I'd love to
Franklin
2025-03-06 18:43:22 +0000 UTCi dont know why but i wanted to ask if u ever watched the handmaids Tale?
hvcn zo
2025-03-04 17:15:34 +0000 UTCWow. Where you grew up is early similar to this show for sure. I just read your comment about knowing a lot of Bev-like characters. Crazy work
Franklin
2025-03-02 18:22:49 +0000 UTCYeah compared to the others this is just like a regular Thriller
Franklin
2025-03-02 18:21:50 +0000 UTCWow. That is so real. It just shows how easy or can be the cause of something tragic. I'm glad you didn't hit that kid and you still remember it. Your driving is never too cautious🧡
Franklin
2025-03-02 18:21:14 +0000 UTChaha shots fired
Franklin
2025-03-02 18:19:43 +0000 UTCAmen to that
Franklin
2025-03-02 18:19:32 +0000 UTCIsn't it sad that we both immediately knew she was probably capable of it.
Franklin
2025-03-02 18:18:59 +0000 UTCYou deserve it all Laura 💐🧡
Franklin
2025-03-02 18:18:11 +0000 UTCI'm there with you 100%. . These shows are so amazing but sometimes that "horror" label makes people like us don't even want to give it a second look. And that is sad. If anything this is a "thriller" to me, so far at least. I enjoy that we are watching it together for the first time. Absolutely, something aint right here. You should absolutely go watch episode 3 and 4. I just posted it last night
Franklin
2025-03-02 18:17:31 +0000 UTCI'm watching it the first time with you, Frank. I didn't hear anything about this show, but that the genre is horror. Till the end of the second episode I would not have considered this as horror. An island with a little town and some weird people. That reminded me of "Twin Peaks". But now, after the second episode, it is quite clear that something is not right here. It's apparently not the typical horror series. I'm now very interested to see how it continues.

2025-03-02 17:28:44 +0000 UTCThis could make sense.
Myra
2025-03-02 17:14:51 +0000 UTC@FrankyFreeze what a lovely thing to do sending love and recognition during this very haunting movie. I want to thank you for being a kind and loving human. And I accept with great honor your expression of love and hugs. It is returned to you, tenfold, dear heart.
Laura Thate
2025-03-02 15:54:25 +0000 UTCI'm watching this for the first time along with you Frank, and I was thinking "oh I hope she doesn't use that on the dog" the moment you said it as well.
Wanzi
2025-03-02 12:43:27 +0000 UTCYou made a point earlier that I’m about to clumsily reiterate. I like horror and sci-fi when the outside element is used to explore humans and our relationships. The Walking Dead, The Leftovers, The Haunting of Hill House, Game of Thrones, Westworld, this series, are about what it means to be human. All good fiction is about us.

2025-02-28 02:02:58 +0000 UTCDoes anything good ever arrive in a trunk that size? 😬
Susan B
2025-02-27 22:44:16 +0000 UTCThat first scene represents my worst fear: being responsible for a horrible accident. I was driving to work on a city street once, paying the degree of attention that we do on a familiar drive (bored) when a child on a bicycle darted out from between parked cars. I slammed on brakes and missed hitting him by a heartbeat. Terrifying. I don’t think the child even noticed, but in 25 years I’ve never forgotten that moment. When passengers get frustrated with my too-cautious driving, I tell them I’m watching for the unexpected child on the bike.
Susan B
2025-02-27 22:35:19 +0000 UTCI loved Haunting of Hill House and H of Bly Manor. This really is less scary to me, but well done.
Susan B
2025-02-27 22:32:57 +0000 UTCI'm late to the party, but work has been busy this past week. This show is my fave of the Flanaverse and resonates with me very personally. I grew up in a tiny town on the beach where the Catholic Church had a considerable presence, and it wasn't exactly doing good things for the town either. Watching this show was a revelation, and I can't wait to see what you think of the rest of it!

2025-02-27 00:05:19 +0000 UTChahaha there are all little lovable menaces
Franklin
2025-02-26 15:00:29 +0000 UTCJust went in the kitchen to get something to eat. And what does my cat do? Deactivates the touchpad and mutes the sound. And I wonder why nothing works anymore. 😼Poor cats in the show.😭
Myra
2025-02-25 21:00:44 +0000 UTCi like it a lot
Franklin
2025-02-25 16:41:40 +0000 UTCAbsolutely. I don't see the point in pretending when I'm uncomfortable. Good trick with your cats, maybe I'll copy that 😊
Franklin
2025-02-25 16:41:22 +0000 UTCThank you thank you 🌸
Franklin
2025-02-25 16:39:48 +0000 UTCOh my God. I went to look again and it was the same dress. She intentionally poisoned the dog. freakin devil
Franklin
2025-02-25 16:39:17 +0000 UTCIf you go back to the potluck scene, you were looking down during the brief shot when sOmEoNe set a plate down in front of the dog 👀 I find it interesting that you describe not being into horror, and yet you love Flanagan's work, Hannibal, and IWTV. Is it actually horror you don't like, or jump-scares/gratuitous violence/gore? I never thought I liked horror until getting into more psychological and artistic horror shows and movies, now I'm very much into it!
Amanda Winstead
2025-02-25 11:52:48 +0000 UTCMan, I just love your reactions, you are so into it and pay attention and I appreciate that! Can't wait for you to keep watching this show.
Izanne
2025-02-24 19:06:47 +0000 UTCI’ve already watched Midnight Mass and most of the horror content you’ve covered, but I feel SO SEEN that you aren’t all big and tough about horror and admit that it gets you, too! Although for me, I keep my cats around and talk to them to get me through scary parts! 🤣

2025-02-24 16:20:14 +0000 UTCI have been WAITTTTINNGG for this one!!!! lowkey so glad you skipped over Bly Manor 🙈 at least for the time being hdhdhd.

2025-02-24 01:27:45 +0000 UTCI like that POV. Learning through the struggle
Franklin
2025-02-24 00:13:44 +0000 UTCI'm happy it's very different as well
Franklin
2025-02-24 00:11:44 +0000 UTCThe happy music tricked me lol
Franklin
2025-02-24 00:11:12 +0000 UTCHonestly she already took the spot
Franklin
2025-02-24 00:06:47 +0000 UTCI'm ONE MINUTE in and already Frank's got me laughing: "Oh, we're starting out on a happy note!" 🤣🤣🤣
Amanda Winstead
2025-02-23 23:42:02 +0000 UTCGlad youre starting here, because while the next show after Hill House, Bly Manor, is really good, its similar to Hill House, whereas this show and Fall of the House of Usher are a little more unique, but Flannigan is the best to ever do it, all his shit is fantastic

2025-02-23 23:04:57 +0000 UTCBev Keene really coming for Hannibal's spot in pissing Frank off.
Ayo Bee
2025-02-23 21:04:31 +0000 UTCAs a man of no particular faith, I always found the answer to the "Why does God allow suffering and tragedy if he's so benevolent" question to be rather simple to answer; because it makes us better people. Going through awful times will build up kindness and empathy as we heal, and its what allows us to extend ourselves to others in their times of need. If there is a God, then they know people have to push through on their own, and with one another, to become their better selves. I don't think its possible to understand what it really means to be human if you don't look tragedy in the face and move on with a purpose.

2025-02-23 17:34:12 +0000 UTC*Speculation, not Spoilers* I have never seen Midnight Mass or any Mike Flanagan shows so I am completely enraptured & intrigued like you Frank as to where this mystery may be heading. My own theories so far: The creature brought to the island in the trunk by Fr. Paul is a demon of some sort. Whatever pact or connection it has made with the priest allows him to have special powers & insights so that he can heal Leeza & know more than he should about the island residents. The demon drinks the life force & possibly souls of all it consumes. Now feasting on humans it will grow stronger & the powers it gives to his acolyte & sponsor will grow as well. I think the former pastor, Msgr.Pruitt, was killed by this demon or his “priestly” familiar in order to wreak their havoc & corruption on an isolated vulnerable population. I only hope that our troubled lead, Riley with his curse of supernatural “sight” can save those he loves from this evil.

2025-02-23 17:27:47 +0000 UTCI'm sure I'll have a lot of thoughts. Such a good mystery
Franklin
2025-02-23 15:58:04 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing this
Franklin
2025-02-23 15:56:48 +0000 UTCThat scene shook me a bit. So so many cats Would have been better if they were rats, lestat has definitely been on that diet of late hehe
Franklin
2025-02-23 15:56:07 +0000 UTCThanks. They'd be a cool ass name though
Franklin
2025-02-23 15:54:42 +0000 UTCFor real. It's a little bit jarring and seeing them have different characteristics omg bev is so annoying
Franklin
2025-02-23 15:53:53 +0000 UTCThanks for letting me know about that. I would love to check it out as well
Franklin
2025-02-23 15:45:37 +0000 UTCwow that definitely hits home for him
Franklin
2025-02-23 15:43:30 +0000 UTCFlanagan had to get help for his alcohol problem, and one of his worst fears at the time was getting behind the wheel while intoxicated and killing someone. The character of Riley must be so close to his heart, and I think you can tell from the writing. The actor does such a fantastic job too - I adore this role for him.
Yara Kaas
2025-02-23 09:37:25 +0000 UTCSo many hugs for you, Laura. 💞
Melissa
2025-02-23 09:12:47 +0000 UTCFlanagan is cool to watch because you get to see him hone in on a style as with each release. I can't wait to see his film "Life of Chuck" later this year when it is hits theaters.

2025-02-23 07:46:46 +0000 UTCI have never seen this! I had to turn it off for a while. I was that triggered. I live in Alaska, 1989 the Exxon Valdez destroyed a small town and many many lives to this day. That area has not recovered. You can dig down 1 foot and the oil still seats up. The child in the wheelchair I had assumed was hit by the town drunk before later finding out she was accidentally shot. 30 years ago I was left a quadriplegic by a drunk driver his fifth DUI. I will spare everyone the details with the exception I was left upside down in icy cold November Alaskan water knowing I was going to die. It took them 45 minutes to extricate me and get me 2 miles to the only hospital. I have lived in small roll Alaskan towns and so much of this is extremely familiar. We have many churches in this town, but one church is always neglected and those who go to that church many look down upon them and detest them, the Russian orthodox church even their graves from before we were bought as a territory by the US from USSR are constantly vandalized. I’m going to stay on this journey, taking it in as I can. Emotionally digest being thrown back into so many different time periods that dramatically changed my life. I never expected this type of reaction so visceral within myself. I thought that I had conquered all the dark corners that my broken body reminds me of every day, but it would seem I still have some work to do. I am up to the task as I believe as long as you are alive it is your responsibility to grow to your higher calling up and until the last moment of this part of my transition in this journey of my life. The movie has excellent writing, excellent casting and of course excellent company.
Laura Thate
2025-02-23 05:58:06 +0000 UTCI love how different the actors portray these new characters, I always forget they were some of my favourites from Hill House! Also yes to throwing shoes at Bev Keane🤣
Gabriela Popescu
2025-02-23 05:39:14 +0000 UTCThe whole show is such a King homage, I’d be shocked if it was a coincidence! I think I recall hearing it was an original script.
Valaree
2025-02-23 04:30:31 +0000 UTCOnly for fellow fans of Stephen King's "IT": Bev Keane = combo of Beverly (Marsh) and when Bev returns to her childhood apartment as an adult, there's the old woman Mrs. Keane. (Or something like that). I wonder if this is intentional or coincidental. Is "Midnight Mass" based on a book like Hill House was or is it an original script?
Melissa
2025-02-23 04:28:16 +0000 UTCMonsignor is a title. It’s like a step above a regular priest.
Valaree
2025-02-23 04:08:18 +0000 UTCAnd he's such a great comedic actor too, really recommend the new adventures of old Christine

Melissa
2025-02-23 03:29:10 +0000 UTCI became absolutely obsessed with this song while watching this show. It's a Neil Diamond song I hadn't heard prior. A definite jam: https://youtu.be/zySAW_cOfQ8?si=NCdOIc2EDNQHa7Jm "Soolaimón was a word Neil Diamond learned when he studied African culture at the Kenyon Mission, the United Nations and the African Studies department at UCLA. Soolaimón can mean “hello,” “welcome,” “good-bye” and “peace be with you.” The lyrics offer images of the cycles of night and day, and a sense of the sacredness of that cycle: “God of my day… Lord of my night.” There is an abiding trust that the “day shall provide.” from https://jilldennison.com/2022/11/30/%E2%99%AB-soolaimon-%E2%99%AB/
Melissa
2025-02-23 03:28:12 +0000 UTCThe actor playing the new priest is so good. Hyped to watch this again with you!
