📅 This Week Feb 11-16 2025

This week we're watchin more Sein, more Last of Us, and more Trek of course. Also I was listening to Queen and thinking about how they did the Highlander score and I remembered you guys told me Queen did the score for Flash Gordon too, so I want to check it out! We'll also finally finish off the Cornetto trilogy with The World's End! I'm excited!

I'm havin such a blast watching stuff here with you guys lately 😆 Thanks for making this an awesome community, posting neat facts and trivia (which I love to read!) and being very cool about posting no spoilers (always appreciated)!

Does it feel like winter will never end for anyone else?! Nothing but endless snow here and more to come all week! Very glad I can stay cozy inside and have some awesome stuff to watch ☺️

I hope everyone has a great week! ♡♡♡

xoxo

Jen ♡

Jen, once you finish Flash Gordon, go back and watch Ted (2012). And you’ll get all the movie references.

Joe M

bring me the bore worms.

TigerMyth

The movie Ted is about to make so much more sense now.

Glenn Galloway

Flash Gordon is an amazing movie, one of my favourites!

Robert Finlay

Indeed, good sir!

Nate Gavin

Yes, that's a good point. Rob Squad Reactions must have it figured out though. 👍

Jason Scade

Mega +1 for 'The Dead Zone' (1983). Sci-fi thriller. Beyond gripping! Walken's performance is unforgettable.

Jason Scade

While I'd love to see Jen do music reactions I've heard it's really tricky so they don't get demonatized by youtube.

Allen Porter

I’ll stick to “Whatever you THINK this movie is going to be…. 😉”

Eric Janssen

uff, content overload :)

Lean

I am a millennial so u may want to skip this reaction 🤷

Jen M

It used to be fun watching first-timers watch Flash Gordon for the first time and not know what they were going to get. 😎 But not if they’re going to be all Millennial and decadeist, and spend the whole time going “It’s so 80’s, they’re all this goofy!”

Eric Janssen

Great choices this week Jen! I would also recommend one of Stephen King’s best adaptions - the Dead Zone. A classic from its time like FG, and one of the author’s favourites too, if you and the patrons are so inclined. Not scary - but riveting. Plus to boot, not too many reactions on YT I think. Also one of Christopher Walken’s best performances imho

Nate Gavin

BRIAN BLESSED!

SnabbKassa

and another Bond actor appears in one of this week's films

SnabbKassa

I hope she doesn't, it's more fun that way.

Rob Nichols

I think the lyric is " A-ah!", not Yay!!

Mastervodo

Exciting varied line-up! 😃👍 I've not seen The World's End, so that's especially exciting! Was it just random Queen songs or album(s)? They were my fave band for a good few years, I know them well. Didn't get to see them though, too young. But I was lucky enough to go to the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in London, 1992. 🥳 Spinal Tap guested for a single song. The band Extreme were there ♥ and many others. I think you'll enjoy Flash Gordon's campness. 😅 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXZDJwoYloI

Jason Scade

🏆 👍 I suggested doing the occasional music reaction a while ago, there def would be a big audience for them, I think. But of course taking on too much and being spread too thin isn't good. One plus point is they'd just be 3-5 mins long then outro.

Jason Scade

Timmy D. :P

Jason Scade

The Seinfelds have all been first time viewings for me, been loving them. "He's such a shit." 😂 Curb.. edges closer, perhaps. :D

Jason Scade

Yeah, Jen, I've had enough of the cold weather - but I've felt that way since October. I've been staying indoors except to take out my dog. I'm looking forward to all of your reactions. Flash Gordon, I image was fun for you. The casting and costume work for Ming the Merciless was impressive. Especially if you take a peek at the old black and white serial from the late 1930s/early 40s. They got Max Von Sydow to look exactly the same as the old actor, Charles Middleton. You have seen Sydow as Father Marin in The Exorcist, the Bond villain Blofeld in Never Say Never Again and King Osric in Conan the Barbarian. I just found out he was the voice of Vigo the Carpathian in Ghostbusters II, but uncredited.

Zapp Rowsdower

Flash Gordon, Queen and Handsome Bond all in the same movie? How will she be able to contain herself?

Major Peril

Wild that we’re at the end of Seinfeld season 4 already!

Banes

Your fav Timothy Dalton is in FG too!

Geoff S.

Queen is the greatest! Would really love to see Jen do a separate music channel!

Mike Miner

I'm sure neither Flash nor Queen will be the best part of Flash Gordon for you.

Rob Nichols

Yes to TNG, DS9, Last of Us. Seinfeld is hilarious. I have not seen World's End but will watch with your reaction. The first 2 of the trilogy are hilarious. I like Birthright. Some don't, but I do.

Clay F

Brian May's guitar tone on this soundtrack is insane.

Lemurian Jones

Great. Now, I'm gonna be going 'bum, bum, bum, bum' all week.

Lemurian Jones

Yep, love Defenders of the Earth 🌎 ⚡️😁

Carlos Perez

The Phantom gets a lot of grief but I’ve always liked it. And Mandrake??? That’s my Saturday mornings as kid reimagined! Bring it all!

Jeremy Vickers

Big Star Trek episodes coming especially TNG this week

Harmony through Time

+1

Jeremy Vickers

Now the question is, will you watch The Phantom and the upcoming Mandrake The Magician? 😆

Carlos Perez

Flash Gordon YAY!!

Collinson

I'm so pumped for World's End, I just watched the other 2 on your page last week 😂

Chris Shine

"What do you mean... Flash Gordon approaching!" Gotta love the cheese!

Major Peril

As far as winter goes, it’s a matter of perspective, here in Southern California, 10miles north of Mexico it just starting out rainy season. A snow day would be fun! However everyday? You right. Love your content!

Chris Woods

Flash - did not age well lets just say! But, it would be a great reaction nonetheless! And I'm SO looking forward to your TLOU E3 Reaction!

Mastervodo

He's just a man...

Lemurian Jones

Wow Jen that's a packed line up, been wanting you to finish the Cornetto trilogy for as long as I can remember now so excited for that 🔥 and pretty much everything on the schedule it's going to be a great week of content. Been freezing by nuts off at work it's so friggin cold so yep feels never ending for sure 🥶

Ian

Worlds End is a hoot!

Mark McKeown

Oh my god we are getting a Flash Gordon reaction 🚀🌍. The movie that was responsible for making me a queen nut 👑 🎸

LDC7080

I'm having fun watching Seinfeld with you. I mean I watched every episode 100 times but I always love seeing people discovering how good it is

Yann Laliberté

FLASH! AHH-AHHHHHHH! Savior of the Universe!

djKENTO

Oh, I completely missed that you have started The Last of Us. I will have to watch that. I’m saving all of TNG for a mega binge.

Johan Petur Klüver Dam

WOW! What an amazing week we have ahead of us! Thanks so much, Jen!
