This Week April 1-April 6 2025
Added 2025-04-01 21:49:37 +0000 UTC
This week of course we're watching more Trek and more Sein! We'll also check out MASH (cause I've always been curious about it) and Mortal Kombat (cause it was THE cool movie for boys when I was growing up and after seeing the poster in Last of Us, I wanna check it out)!
Can you believe it's April already!? It simultaneously feels like it's come really fast AND really slow ๐
Oh I'm wondering how you guys feel about me watching stuff here on Patreon that isn't available for streaming? The issue isn't ME getting a copy to watch (I can usually find one), the issue is people being able to find a copy to do Full Length watchalongs. Let me know what you think!
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE! Been having so much fun with you guys lately and I really appreciate it! Hope you are too :)
Hope everyone has a great week! โกโกโก
xoxo

Check out my pinned post ALL CONTENT , with everything listed alphabetically! It's always pinned at the top of my page with links to schedule, polls + request site!
Also check out Collections tab to see things sorted by genre, decade and series!
*Regarding Email Notifications: I know it can be annoying to be emailed every single time I post something. You can change your email notifications on the left hand panel in 'Settings' under 'Email Notifications' (desktop)
*Regarding Name in Credits: If you're on a credits tier it can take up to a week to see your name in the credits (though usually within a few days). This is because I sometimes work ahead to get videos ready to post before they go live. If you do not see your name after 1 week please message me and I will make sure to add it. Credits will be listed as your name shows on Patreon. If you don't want your name in credits please message me and I'll remove you from list.
*Spoilers: PLEASE no spoilers in comments or in direct messages to me. No "hints" or trying to lead me in the right direction or asking if I want to know something. The point of these reactions is for me to discover things as I go and to be surprised. Thank you, I appreciate it!
*Replies to Messages/Comments: Across all platforms I now get hundreds of comments and messages every single day. I do my best to return messages but please do not be offended if I do not reply or if replies take a while. Many larger channels hire people to help them answer messages or reply to comments. I read all comments and messages myself, even if I don't have time to reply. If you leave a comment or message please know I received it and I appreciate it.
*Apple Users: Apple has now added an additional charge for Patreon (ugh). This extra charge ONLY applies if you subscribe to a creator on an apple device. Make sure that if you're signing up for myself or another creator's Patreon that you use a different device other than Apple so you don't get charged extra! You can still access content on Apple device after signing up on different device.
Have you checked out my MOVIE REQUEST SITE ?
Every Patron can submit movie requests there and have unlimited upvotes. I use this site to make schedule decisions and polls so make sure you go upvote what you want to see!

Jen - I have to admit I skip some of your reactions when It means I have to purchase / rent a video. In that case, I wait for the youtube edit. I have most of the streaming sites so adding additional expense for movies not on streaming is a skip for me.

I second this.
Watch the movies that you want to watch Jen! Don't limit yourself on my account.

Since I can add three a month I try to add something holiday to give it time to gain votes, something general I just think Jen will like and another thing I want to see Jen react to

This!!! We can figure out how to get copies if we need too.
I'd love for Jen to watch the movie French Kiss, but it's not streaming due to ... issues. But it's one of our top 2 favorite Rom-Coms.

2025-04-02 13:37:28 +0000 UTC
Yeah, go for it. If it's something I want to see the reaction for, I'll figure it out.

For those who say โI grew up,with the TV show! ๐โโฆ.Robert Altmanโs MASH is NOT the TV show. No wistful Emmy-winning goodbyes, farewells or amens here, and if you know Altman, you know why thatโs not necessarily a bad thing. ๐
Robert Duvallโs Maj. Burns will be a bit of a shock to TV fans, but we at least get to see the origin of how Maj. Houlihan got the nickname of โHot Lipsโ.

To be absolutely honest, I pirate everything these days with the sole exception of Star Trek so I can find a copy of anything to watch alongside your reactions even if it's not on any of the streaming platforms.

The MASH show used to be a daily watch for me as I was falling asleep. I do recommend, if you ever decide to watch the show, either find a version without the laugh track, or buy the dvd box set and use english 2 audio channel. The show was intended to not have a laugh track, but the broadcasts of the show had one added in. I believe personally that no laugh track is needed, the comedy lands without one.

There are parts of MASH that I feel havenโt aged well, but only parts. The anti-war message still resonates. As. someone here already mentioned the TV series strikes a fairly different tone than the movie. But for me it has aged better. And it gets especially good after it starts taking its anti-war messaging a bit more seriously. If Iโm not mistaken there was at least one episode that was much more dramatic than comedic that won awards. I would love to see you react to the series, when you can squeeze it in given the several other series you are already watching, that is.

Cool! Looking forward to M*A*S*H! Renรฉ Auberjonois, who plays Odo on DS9, is in it!

I don't know if you've seen the MASH TV show, but be aware that a lot of people are shocked by how different the movie is in tone and style from the series. It's sloppier, wilder, meaner and less sentimental than the series, but it's also one of the most important comedies in Hollywood history, since its exuberantly vulgar, slobs-vs-snobs style of humor changed how comedies were made in Hollywood (for example, it was the very first mainstream Hollywood studio production in which characters said the word "fuck"), and you wouldn't have Animal House, Caddyshack, or the Police Academy movies without MASH breaking the mold.

I completely own my trash taste in admitting that the '95 Mortal Kombat is one of my 5 favorite movies of all time. Same director as Event Horizon btw. Don't worry, this one isn't scary.

I feel like if folks want to watch a particular reaction they probably have their own ways to get a copy also, especially if it was one that was voted on in a poll. Most people here are probably fairly internet savvy and there are enough *cough* less then legal options out there *cough* that folks can get there hands on a copy.

I have no problem with you watching shows on here without streaming. You can always put it on YT at a later date if you change your mind later. Might I suggest The Expanse as a good one to do that with? It's probably one of the best science fiction shows ever made, and people will get a membership to watch you watch it. I've subbed to folks for that show.

Great reminder post. ๐๐ I'm on it at least twice a month to upvote other people's additions. Recently added award winning animated sci-fi / dark comedy series 'Invader Zim'.
And also the incredibly awesome and stylish samurai time-travelling action/drama series 'Samurai Jack'.
And Bond-esque 2024 series 'The Day of the Jackal', this isn't animated. Superb cat and mouse spy/assassin drama action.

Yes! MORRRRTAL KOOOMBAAAT!
Saw this in the theaters when I was a senior in high school and I loved it. One of the songs in the soundtrack, Zero Signal by Fear Factory, pushed me further into death, industrial and extreme metal. ๐ค๐ Also, as cheesy as the movie is, it's still much better than the awful sequel and the recent attempt at a reboot movie. Yes, even just Christopher Lambert as Raiden is better than the whole recent MK movie.

I've actually never seen the MASH movie, only the series. I'm completely okay with watching an abbreviation of the movieโ a "cliff's note" versionโ by way of Jen.
I'd also be satisfied if Jen tried to do a "best episodes" watch of the Mash series.

I'm good with you watching stuff here on Patreon that isn't available for streaming. Virtually everything is available for free and ad free if you look for it.

M*A*S*H is an unexpected bonus! Really looking forward to your reaction to it!
If you like it and ever get time, I'd highly recommend the M*A*S*H TV show (25 min episodes, 11 seasons, 251 episodes, 1972-1983). Great writing and cast!

Star Trek always great , Mortal Kombat i havenโt seen in over 20 years so Im happy to watch it again after all this time and I have never seen MASH, Iโm looking forward to watching it with you ๐

Sorry, I forgot a word in my post. I meant to say I should NOT have an issue with any disc-only choices you make.

The YouTube hack? You can just watch in the browser here on Patreon, that's only for people who want to DOWNLOAD the full length

Jen M
2025-04-01 22:00:23 +0000 UTC
Wow, looking forward to MASH.
I think not a good idea to react to stuff unavailable to stream. Patron viewing of the full reaction would be low.
For me personally, I have no physical media and stream only. I would not buy physical media to watch a reaction,

I have a huge library of store bought DVDs, blurays and such. So I should not have an issue watching your disc-only choices like MASH and last week's Cannonball Run (I have the sequel, too). So, knock yourself out as the saying goes.
Todd Preble
2025-04-01 21:59:08 +0000 UTC
You were probably curious about MASH, the series, not the movie! The series is way better.

Me personally Jen, I have a pretty extensive physical collection, and if you list something I am interested in, I normally have it, or am open to getting a physical copy.

MASH is a classic anti-war film. Mortal Kombat is so bad it's kinda good. ๐
I'm fortunate in obtaining whatever to watch. ๐

I would love to do the full length watches, but I'm a little wary of that YouTube hack that you espouse.

I don't think availability of streaming should be a factor for consideration. Something available today may not be tomorrow. I think most people are resourceful.
