๐Ÿ“… This Week March 25-30 2025

This week of courrrse more Sein and Trek, and we're also checkin out last week's poll winner The Time Machine which I'm really excited about! Been loving these old classics. Then we're watching Get Shorty, cause I always thought that was a really cool title and the cast looks awesome!

If anyone missed it/isn't aware, there is a LINK to Internet Archive free version of The Cannonball Run (since it's not available to stream) to sync up with Full Length posted yesterday!

Guys I got too eager for the warm weather and it's been pretty cold here again and actually snowed. BUT STILL, it's officially spring and I'm jazzed! What movies/shows are you looking forward to in next few upcoming months?

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!! Thank you for chilling here with me, for telling me cool trivia, and for being really kind and helpful to each other! Truly a cool group of human here โ™กโ™กโ™ก

Hope everyone has a great week! โ™กโ™กโ™ก

xoxo

*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.

I feel like The Time Machine has been on my watchlist for like 4 years now. Seems like a good excuse to finally watch it.

Amarant Coral

I'm not unhappy with the set up. ๐Ÿ‘ I just don't see the point in the suggested scrapping one of the few producer perks there are in favor of something that's already covered by Jen's Pick. ๐Ÿ‘

Jason Scade

My apologies to Producers who are unhappy with the way I set things up. Right now I am not able to guarantee a spot on my monthly schedule for a Producer pick. Maybe in future.

Jen M

You could ask to change your producer pick choice.

Jason Scade

I'll enjoy seeing the original for the first time. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ I don't mind the 2001 remake. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Jason Scade

I'm one. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. It's currently doing well in a poll on another channel and I'm afraid if it wins it will dissuade Jen from watching since she understandably doesn't want to watch movies recently done on other channels.

Powerful Star Trek this week

Harmony through Time

Our recurring PSA to the current generation that the 00โ€™s Time Machine remake has ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOTHING to do with HG Wellsโ€™ story. You were raised on a howling embarrassment. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ George Palโ€™s 1960 version is not only one of the coolest scifi movies of the 60โ€™s, it actually improves on the spirit of Wellsโ€™ book. Itโ€™s not too late to be cured.

Eric Janssen

I haven't seen the fifties Time Machine, but I've always wanted to. I saw Get Shorty when it originally came out, but that was a million years ago and I don't remember it. I remember it had a lot of hype when it was new though. Not too many new movies get me excited. I'm looking forward to seeing the new Stephen King killer monkey movie. And I'll also probably enjoy that one where Hannibal Lector traps Pennywise in a super-car. I've mainly been watching old noir movies I haven't seen before. You know, for as old-fashioned and naive some of these old movies are, the scripts are a lot smarter than most of the movies put out today. I think the old style was focused more on plot than anything. I like seeing the changes in aesthetic by experiencing old art and entertainment.

Noremac

Fun week. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ I've only seen the 2001 remake of The Time Machine. (fond of it) I saw Get Shorty in the cinema but can't remember much. I hope you are feeling well and not overdoing it anywhere. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Jason Scade

Aching for the final series here. 'Jen speaks Italian' episode. ๐Ÿคฃ Among others.

Jason Scade

Some Producers have been waiting two years for their pick to be drawn.

Jason Scade

For one final time please please please react to glass onion before the 3rd knives out movie comes out this year ( wake up dead men ) and please please please watch how to train your dragon before the live action remake comes out ( June 13 ) ๐Ÿ™ it may be spring but I'm still wearing my winter jacket and beanie at work cuz the wind is crazy cold , me literally two days ago " frig frig frig it's so friggin cold FRIG I'm freezing frig frig frig brrrrrrrrr FRIG OFF wind brrrrrrrrrr frig frig frig ahhhhhhh frig ! Frig ! Frig ! I may have used another four letter word beginning with F amongst the frigs lol. Only seen the newer time machine which I really liked so the original should be fun , not seen get shorty it was one of those movies I just could never be bothered to watch but that's about to change ๐Ÿ™‚ looks like a good week . Make it so !

Ian

I do too! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Jen M

I donโ€™t know why but the older movies tend to do poorly in polls, but are usually well received. This is pretty universal among all the reactors I support, I have to fight tooth and nail to get one on the schedule, or pay for a special request. They are many great movies but I have somewhat of a soft spot for old sci-fi movies.

MrDannySteele

I'd like to watch all eventually, but there are many movies from all decades I'd like to see as well ๐Ÿ‘

Jen M

You should watch more older movies, like the ones on last weekโ€™s poll. You should watch all of them.

MrDannySteele

I was wondering if I could make a bold suggestion. Instead of having the Producer Pick on a poll how about once a month Jen picks one at random and watches that. I think that could help you get over the 100K mark. Time Machine is one of my favorites. The remake is alright but this original is better. The original Journey to the Center of the Earth is great too. Going to be a great week!

Geoff S.

I love Get Shorty. One of my favorite films from the 90s.

thansen

I'd better get Time Machine cued up when your reaction drops. I love that movie; it's another one from my childhood that formed my sci-fi brain. And send some cold air and snow to Phoenix, will ya Jen? It was 98โฐ (36.6 C) today. ๐Ÿ˜“

Over50Gamer

A perfect week!!!!

Toc

Are you going to react to the final season of IT Crowd at any point? It's been several months with no update I've seen even mentioning it

Jabin (Aelic)

Looking forward to The Time Machine

inspectordh

Looking forward to Time Machine and Get Shorty reactions, upcoming month I'm most looking forward to Andor season 2 (you should check out season 1)

Matt

Another very solid Trek week incoming.

Preaching to the Horse's Mouth

Get Shorty ! Never gets any well deserved love! And more Sein! Who could ask for more

nick bell

Totally excited for Get Shorty, it's criminally underrated, however there's no need to ever do the sequel, it's one of the worst sequels ever.

Kane

I never thought I would see a reactor watch Get Shorty. One of my all time favorites!

Brian Leonard

I'm loving rewatching DS9 with you. Cant wait until you get into the seasons when they "kick it in the guts" storyline wise. DS9's somber theme song ๐ŸŽต will grow on you. It will seem more appropriate the deeper you get into the franchise.

Michael O'Connor

Get Shorty is a lot of fun. Itโ€™s an adaptation of an Elmore Leonard novel, as are Jackie Brown and Out of Sight. Both of those are also worth checking out.

DrJonasVenture

Whoa, Get Shorty? Awesome ๐Ÿ˜. If you end up loving it (you will)' you should consider Jackie Brown and Out of Sight ๐Ÿ˜
