I might need to add that on the poll. That’s the one with the stalker guy, right?

2025-10-31 02:38:45 +0000 UTCYou know sometimes I like to get in the head of you guys watching my reaction, and I think of how y'all anticipate me getting to a certain point. And like you said every single time I ask the question about why it was fucking with me nell. You will probably like " you just wait Frank" lol
Franklin
2025-02-06 01:08:05 +0000 UTCThis is such a great input. Thank you
Franklin
2025-02-06 01:06:49 +0000 UTCI know this is an old reaction, im new here, but when Steven says in episode 1 that a ghost can be a lot of things, a memory, a secret, grief, anger, guilt, all that, thats what Nellie and Lukes ghosts are, Luke is followed by his addiction, its always looming over him, two steps behind, the man in the hat, actually, the "hat man" is a common shared hallucination that people in real life experience on several separate drugs. Nell is haunted by the specter of her own suicide. In this show, the house kills her, theres a separate malevolent force at play but the show sets up her struggles and her mental state and self destructive behavior towards the end, Nellie might have caused her own death if the house hadn't gotten her first

2025-02-05 02:41:50 +0000 UTCSpoiler for anyone who isn't watching this or is watching it before Frank but reading comments: waiting for the Bent Neck lady reveal was probably my favorite part of watching these reactions. Every time you asked why the ghosts kept messing with Nell, I giggled. Also knowing how much you love transitions, I was really excited for Two Storms. Glad these were both in one video.

2025-01-16 02:49:02 +0000 UTCof course !! I’m glad to know you might check it out in any way, the girl doing them puts so much work into them it truly shows. ❣️

2025-01-15 21:48:40 +0000 UTCI'm sure I'll check out all his stuff at some point
Franklin
2025-01-15 18:49:22 +0000 UTCThanks for mentioning this video. I love video essays. But if I'm being honest I'll probably just check it out on my own time. The schedule is usually so full
Franklin
2025-01-15 18:48:52 +0000 UTCI really love Two Storms. It's one of my favorite all-time TV episodes. I love the continuous shots, but ooh the drama. It reminds me so much of Six Feet Under, which used to be my favorite show back in the day. Has anyone seen it? The family funeral home, the dead hanging around, the piping hot tea. And Theo is such a Brenda. I loved Brenda. Lol

2025-01-15 17:07:39 +0000 UTCI know it’s not what you usually do but there’s an analysis video on hill house by ladyknightthebrave (on youtube) and it’s insanely good !! since you love hill house so much it could be interesting to see a react on that too !! Anyways thank u very much for your work !🫶🏻
Camila
2025-01-14 23:08:04 +0000 UTCYes the rest of Mike Flanagan is definitely just as good. Each show is so unique and well acted, written and directed I really hope you watch them, they’re all soooo moving and beautiful. Midnight Mass and The Fall of the House of Usher are my other favourites. Wonder what he will put out next!

2025-01-13 01:31:13 +0000 UTCI’m slowly, but surely getting better. Time will tell about physically everything it’s First from the clock started ticking so each moment after that, each day, after each decade not to be wasted. I savor every moment to continue learning and growing ready my spirit forest transition. Maybe if I am so blessed, I could be a star that a young child will gaze upon a Make-A-Wish. That wouldn’t be so bad I may even transition into tiny pebble that when skipped across the water will create a butterfly effect, somehow someway positively affect the outcome of a child’s wish. Thank you for your well wishes and your lovely thoughts. I do so enjoy your conversations with us, and how thrilled you are to experience the shows we watch together. You have been such a blessing in my life. I don’t feel so lonely when we are watching shows together. with this awesome community you are creating. Many blessings to you as always.

2025-01-12 20:19:39 +0000 UTCI love how you describe that. Overwhelming. They were all soon point. Because literally one error would ruin that whole take.

2025-01-12 19:35:16 +0000 UTCThe absolute impressiveness of the filmmaking in "Two Storms" never ceases to amaze me. Connected sets, body doubles, moving statues and set dressings, different aged actors swapping in and out, those endless shots moving all throughout the settings, and the actors all KILLING it without a safety net to fall back on. Its overwhelming, honestly.

2025-01-12 19:12:04 +0000 UTCgadddd makes so much sense why they never showed her face till now. Brutal House indeed
Franklin

Franklin
2025-01-12 19:04:20 +0000 UTCtrueeee
Franklin
2025-01-12 19:03:12 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to a Creator like this. Honestly might be a sin not to watch everything they've ever done. These last two episodes were just masterful. I agree . And I absolutely believe you that it will get better
Franklin
2025-01-12 18:30:33 +0000 UTCTrue true So beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time
Franklin
2025-01-12 18:29:05 +0000 UTCAnd I'm glad your spirit set it out loud. Don't ever stop sharing Laura. Always love reading them. I absolutely can't wait to see the ending of this show. I loved your explanation of deja vu. That is something I've always wondered about since I was a kid, anything about dreams in general. I hope you feel better soon💛
Franklin
2025-01-12 18:28:19 +0000 UTCMuch love. I'm glad we're watching it together
Franklin
2025-01-12 18:22:23 +0000 UTCYeah rewatching this show would be amazing to catch all the things I can't in this first watch
Franklin
2025-01-12 18:21:56 +0000 UTCI love that a lot
Franklin
2025-01-12 18:20:02 +0000 UTCMost definitely
Franklin
2025-01-12 18:19:34 +0000 UTClove thiss!! will you watch midnight mass at some point?
Elizabeth D
2025-01-11 22:37:39 +0000 UTCIf you think carefully about it, Nell looks back to Theo because she reads people, she knows whether he's a good man or not, so looks to her for reassurance, despite what she might feel herself, she's leant on her sisters ability. The whole two episodes are incredible.

2025-01-09 18:50:03 +0000 UTCI get that it's annoying since WE know there's something more going on here, but try to keep in mind that Steve's insistence on attributing everything to mental illness isn't just stubbornness, it's because he genuinely believes that's what's wrong with them(because up until just a few days ago he'd never encountered a ghost he couldn't find a logical explanation for((and it's not for lack of trying, he's really been searching all over for real, tangible proof as we saw in ep. 1)), and he's had no time to actually process that experience), and he's scared that if he starts indulging these "delusions" or stop trying to actively ground everyone in reality, it'll kill them too. It's also why him seeing or hearing things that shouldn't be there isn't going to be enough to convince him, quite the opposite unfortunately since Steve just takes it as proof of his own declining mental state. Sidenote, but I love the irony of Luke being the only one keeping his shit together in ep. 6 while everyone else is busy getting drunk and fighting each other, lol.

2025-01-08 21:56:59 +0000 UTCThis is one of my favourite shows! All I want to say is start paying attention to the background, especially in scenes taking place inside Hill House. In several shots of episode 6 you can see the statues changing positions and in several shots throughout the show you’ll see ghosts and faces hidden away. I’ve rewatched this so many times and it’s always beautiful to catch a new hidden face I never noticed before
Tariro
2025-01-07 23:20:36 +0000 UTCI'd be too scared to watch this alone, but with you I can really enjoy this 😊 It's also really nice and interesting to hear your thoughts and how you can empathize with the different characters ❤️

2025-01-07 13:26:53 +0000 UTCThis has been the hardest series for me to watch. As you know, I’ve never seen it. But I have so much to say that it terrifies me that three episodes I was correct about and this last one I will admit that from the beginning, I always knew somehow in my stomach, the bent neck lady with Nelly. I don’t know how I knew. I just spelt it. In this last scene, the father is randomly talking to someone and I’m sure it’s one of two if not both the mother and Nelly. He cannot find the courage to speak the truth because the one son the lying exploiter writer has been lying from the beginning because he saw his ghost, but could not handle what he was seeing and that is why he chose the path he did in order to hide what he really knows to be the truth, yet hides it in untruths making him in my opinion far worse than the father silence. If any of this is a spoiler, I promise it’s not on purpose. I just can’t keep my mouth shut any longer because there are gifted people in this world they’re always has been and then there are those who pretend to know and manipulate people for their money. I also know that there are people in this world who have a gift of site yet lost it because they didn’t give their gift away as the gift it was meant to be, but chose to make money and enrich themselves so they rely on what they remember. They used to be able to do but was taken away from them because they monetized and manipulated others rather than be truthful. There is so much in our world that we’re supposed to have “faith in“ whether it’s religion orother systems yet we willingly wear scales over our eyes and deny any possibility of a multi layered multi universal moment that proves to us that we are only living in one plane on time. Yet we starve and almost yearn to go see movies or read about the existence being worked on by science of time space continuum, we reach out instinctively to what is greater than ourselves. I remember writing a story when I was 10 ears old about my theory of déjà vu. I based it on different crossroads. There is one of you standing still “the anchor” and there others of us that make the choice at crossroads are north south east and west decisions and one part of you chose north creating a pathway another chose south creating another pathway. Another part of you chose east making another pathway and another chose south Making another pathway. Each choice you made from the original “anchor“was five choices stays still as the base that holds time as the other four decisions were made, they created their own choices and decisions within that pathway they chose yet the closer they got to the original fifth choice the anchor That stood still holding time and you crisscrossed the other three direction somewhere within that moment, each for traveling north south eastern west cross within then laird time where each one had done the exact same thing but from a different pathway, that’s why you feel dizzy. You get the goosebumps you know for a fact, you’ve already said or did or were in the same place and for a moment or longer no one can convince you otherwise. It’s because each of those pathways surrounded the anchor fifth element of yourself that holds your space in time. Eat north south east and west pathway is also had other crossroads to choose But you all are still tethered to the original anchored self in time. I don’t know if I explained this well I probably sound insane and it’s OK. When you get to live a long time and you see patterns in nature and recognize the mathematical beauty of a flower That is replicated in a shell or replicated in anatomy, the stars, the universe all of that comes flooding back to my mind in this last scene that makes me feel that the occupants of the house prior to this family had their own experiences yet like Nelly were unable to be seen. The caretakers to me have a very big rolled play in the ending of this story. If we remember correctly, they never come after dark, they never hear the dogs at the darkness, the death bed, the child that was in the wheelchair, too, had their histories, their choices, and the echoes of that remain in the home, as if they’re reaching out to be seen, heard and to no longer be dead. I’m rambling. I’ve had a fever for over a week now. My old bones are feeling very hollow yet. I know that when I finally leave my physical being the energy never disappears it simply continues in another frequency. I remember when I was a little girl about six looking at the stars and I called them fossils. To me they were fossils because the light was what was left of the death of a star yet the light itself continued on its trajectory, therefore, making that light of the star, a fossil a remnant with life and light of its own. I use voice activated typing please forgive any misspellings and my inability to correct them. Punctuation is difficult because I forget when to say the word period . or comma , or ; semicolon losing the use of your body is a very great adjustment. I’m grateful to live in a time and place where technology is an assistant. I am very fearful of AI as it is not an assistant. It will teach itself to be our control controller, and we will forget to teach, explore, we will forget the skills that are innate for us as a species to grow, and it will become a cage, where something is simple as curse of writing, reading a book, will disable our curiosity, our ability to think individually, and at some point, make it impossible for those who write music, beautiful stories, whose very essence of the soul is expressed because we will have this “tool“ to do all the writing without any of the human spirit or soul. I realize none of what I rambled about, has not stayed on point to the story, but my spirit feels the need to say it out loud

2025-01-07 09:04:01 +0000 UTCNell’s episode has such high happy points… and such lows. I was so devastated when she lost Arthur. In just the couple of scenes we got with him I already loved him too. Seeing her dancing with him in the house never fails to make me cry.

2025-01-07 05:52:51 +0000 UTCOh wow! Thank you for sharing that 🌻
Bethany that's me
2025-01-07 04:40:42 +0000 UTCHer and Mike Flanagan have a daughter named Theodora. I also love her performance in Midnight Mass, it's always so raw and honest
Rosilane Moreira
2025-01-07 03:27:44 +0000 UTCEvery single time I hear little Nell yell "Bent neck lady! Bent neck lady!" in episode 6, my heart breaks. All I can think is "That's you, my love..."
Ana Cristina Freitas
2025-01-07 02:49:34 +0000 UTCThis and Midnight Mass are absolute masterpieces in my opinion and I'm so excited to see you delving into the nitty gritty of what makes this show so special. The bent neck lady episode will always stand out to me as one of the craziest, most tragic and horrifying twists EVER. The two storms episode is a technical marvel and one of the best episodes of TV in my opinion. So well crafted. Would you believe it if I said the show only gets better after this? I can't wait for you to continue on the Hill House journey! ❤️
Jenny Jackson
2025-01-07 02:47:23 +0000 UTCI know you're frustrated with dad right now. And I won't say any spoilers, but I guarantee you that it is not gratuitous like some shows tend to do just to create tension. By the end of it all you will understand everyone's decisions, you may not agree with everyone, but you will definitely understand them.
Ana Cristina Freitas
2025-01-07 02:30:24 +0000 UTCOne heartbreaking episode. You can't even be scared cause you're too sad
Rosilane Moreira
2025-01-07 02:27:41 +0000 UTCfun fact!!! Nell's therapist is played by Russ Tamblyn, the og Luke from 'The Haunting' (1963) which is based on the same book, The haunting of hill house by Shirley Jackson!
☆Novah☆
2025-01-07 02:14:10 +0000 UTCI'm beyond stoked for this! I take care of my geriatric parents full time and it's been a day for us 🤪 RIP stress banana 🍌 Not sure if someone has mentioned it already, but the actress that plays Theo is married to Mike Flanagan. She's fantastic in Midnight Mass.
Bethany that's me
2025-01-07 01:50:13 +0000 UTCOh hell yes, you’ve made it to episode 5, I’ve been waiting for this moment. You said, “are we ever going to get to see her face?” I was like “ohhhhh boy you sure are!” The house definitely has no mercy.
Amanda Hill
2025-01-07 01:15:04 +0000 UTCNice! Can't wait to watch this in a bit. I'm glad I got my nightly walk in before this upload this week because last time I was uncharacteristically jumpy outside when I went after watching. xD
