Upcoming Schedule Announcement

Hey Everyone! In the last few hours, we’ve been hit with 4 copyright claims that have blocked these reactions on our YouTube channel. The videos are still available on Patreon because they are uploaded to a different channel. The videos are First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Scream and Friday the 13th.

If you’ve been with us for awhile, you know we previously received a strike on our channel for my Airplane reaction and again Paramount is now combing through our channel, a year later, and blocking our content.

We are extremely grateful that these are claims and not strikes, but out of an abundance of caution for our channel, we will not be uploading Scream 2 this week. Because of the short notice, we are going to try to put together an edit of My Cousin Vinny. This was previously a Patreon Exclusive Full Length Watch-along only.

We apologize, but we think it is best to not push the envelope when we have submitted disputes against these claims.

As always, thank you for your continued support as we navigate these issues.

-Daniel & Sam

Hiyo! Coming back to this post - is there a chance that you'll upload Scream 2 now?

Logan Kerlee

We were too! We're a little frantic trying to rearrange our schedules as we had 5-6 upcoming Paramount films, but if we have some extra time, we'd love to get at least the full lengths up on Patreon for the rest of the Scream films :) -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Well darn, I was definitely looking forward to watching Scream 2 with you both! it's been years since I've seen it so it was a good excuse to watch it again while at the same time get your reactions on it!

Terry Lee

I really love your content! You're both so silly and I always wind up watching whatever movie it is with a smile on my face. It really is a bummer that they're giving you both such a challenging time with everything. :( Hope you both get it figured out soon and are able to continue posting! <3

I wonder what Walter Sobchak would say about this.

Mark M

Sorry to hear about this. Yeah, I've noticed Paramount is extremely aggressive when it comes to copyright. I've learned to be extra careful with their stuff.

Fingers crossed! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Wow! Going to take a peek at their channel. That’s disappointing -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Thank you!

TBR Schmitt

❤️❤️❤️ -Sam

Unfortunately, these are manual claims, so the usual quick fixes to get past the algorithm won’t work here. But thank you very much! We’re brainstorming ideas for moving forward but for the immediate future, we will be avoiding all Paramount films.

TBR Schmitt

Thanks for all the support! We really, really appreciate it. We’re disappointed as we’ve really enjoyed discussing movies with you all, but we’re hopeful! We did post an update on YouTube and linked our secondary channel. We’ll always provide updates here and cannot thank you all enough for the support you have given us through Patreon. That being said, we did round out to 9 claims and 1 strike since last night. 1 claim was removed and 1 claim dispute resulted in the strike. Because of that, we want to let you know that if the TBR Schmitt channel is removed, the last couple months worth of posts here will remain, but the older films will not. We have all the files - edited and raw - for everything we have ever filmed so we will get that all up ASAP to our backup channel and posted here. Again, thanks for all your support here ❤️ -Daniel & Sam

Jeez. That's a pain in the ass for you guys. Hopefully the corporate whatevers can give yall a formula that's workable so, moving forward, you don't have to deal with their types again... or do you get the impression that their complaints are more arbitrary and, perhaps, opportunistic?

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

Damn.. and all that work editing.. for nothing. How about flipping the video in the youtube cut horizontally? Written text will be backwards but most movies don't focus on text anyway.

Daniel Nilsen

Hang in there! Your channel brings much joy and laughter to my days.

Rudy Hernandez

Sorry you guys are having to deal with this mess. Studios need to understand that you guys are just free advertising for their films.

Surely though the channel would be unlikely to grow without YT edits bringing in new viewers. Would anyone subscribe to patreon channels without having first seen what the reactions are like?

James Hadden

MGM has been doing the same to the Fact Fiend Channel. It’s fair use you guys are literally using the clips for commentary and critique.

Stefan Daniw

I’ve gotten to where I completely avoid the YT edits anyway of any Patreons I’m subscribed to because I’d rather watch the full reactions over the cut up stuff. If I were y’all I’d just use the YT channel for announcements and post-reviews , they can’t come at y’all for giving your opinions on what you’ve seen.

Well it seems the night has just begun for whoever is manually submitting these claims, but we expect them to make their way through every Paramount film by morning. Thanks for all the kind words and support! It means a lot to us

TBR Schmitt

Kidding me, wow. I don't hate any category of people, except possibly some lawyers who specialize in squeezing money out of every orifice imaginable, and the elite non-creative types who monetize and commodify JOY, just saying. Rant ended, but that's some bullshit.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

It seems they are still making their way through our channel. Godfather Part II is gone now.

TBR Schmitt

That's a bummer man. Airplane! must be the toughest to avoid a gig on for anyone haha, it's like nonstop puns and sight gag punchlines. Well I hope you get past the arbitrary arbiters without too much more complication, you're doing great from over here.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

Better wait a couple of days than losing whole channel. Thanks for the update ✌🏼

David Lengyel

Sry to hear this guys as you say though at least they are not strikes thank goodness, appreciate the update cheers guys 💙

Ian

Sam and Dan, thank you for all your effort. 👍

Mr. Writhms

Thank you, Ellie! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Sorry guys. What a pain in the ass. We love you!
