What's next? ❎

It's time to cast your vote for what's coming up after Rain Man and Batman! When figuring out what options to put in this poll, I thought it would be fun to do a poll of films that have all been suggested more than once through my Suggestion Form. As always, please throw suggestions into this form, because it's what I pick from when I make these polls!

I'm genuinely excited to watch all of these...

Quick Update & Hello!

Stranger Things 4 - Chapter Four: Dear Billy (+ Chapter Three Recap) [4x04] ✦ Watchalong Reaction & Review

Hi everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who voted in this poll the other day. If you missed this post, the quick of it is that I accidentally recorded my reaction to Chapter Three with my microphone muted in the recording software that I use. That's the first time that has happened to me, and I'm mega sorry about that still!

The overwhelming majority of you called for a recap of Chapter Three instead of re...

I've made an OOPS... and I need your input.

Hi everyone! I am so mad at myself. Not only am I a bit behind on recording and putting out exclusive reactions, but I sat down and recorded Stranger Things 4: Chapter Three and my microphone was muted the entire time. The intro, reaction, and my thoughts/review... there is not a smidge of audio from me. 😭

So... how to move forward?

The first option is re-recording it. This is ideal for those of you that do want to watchalong with me to every single episode. Of...

Hi everyone! I hope that you all are having a great weekend. Mine has started off rocky. I became very unwell early Thursday morning and pretty much spent all of Thursday and most of Friday either in bed or in the bathroom. 😭 Not sure what I came down with.

Anyway, I'm feeling much better which means I'm super excited to bring you early access to my first Clone Wars video for YouTube! This is a review and ranking video that is very chit-chatty, but covers off my brief thoughts on eve...

Announcement ✦ Merch

Hello everyone! I have a very important announcement to make and I've been thinking about this for a while, so please know that this decision was not just made spontaneously or lightly. Unfortunately, I have come to the decision to no longer offer merch items here on Patreon. I'm so terribly sorry about this.

I want to be fully transparent about why I am removing merch as a benefit:

• Patreon charges me 3% of ALL my pledges every month just to...

The Prestige (2006) ✦ YouTube Edit

Hi everyone! Here is the YouTube edit for my reaction to The Prestige! I'm so sorry this one took so long. Let's just say it is REALLY hard editing a movie where nearly every piece of dialogue feels important for the overall story. 😂

I absolutely loved this movie, and I had to put some editor's notes in this one because editing it was really fun, despite it taking so long. I had a great time noticing all of the little details throughout the film, knowing what the ending was. If ...

Obi-Wan Kenobi - Part VI [1x6] ✦ YouTube Edit

Yep, ya girl is getting this out QUICK. (Don't worry, still working on The Prestige!) I was MEGA excited for this finale and wanted to watch it ASAP and get this out.

Here is the direct link to the reaction.

Enjoy, and please let me know what you thought of this episo...

Obi-Wan Kenobi Part VI [1x6] (2022) ✦ Full-Length Watchalong Reaction

Hi everyone! I knew last night/this morning would be an all-nighter for me because I wanted to get this finale watched as soon as it released at 1:00 am. I also watched Nikki & Steven React's reaction of this episode as soon as I was done recording everything. Steven is SO fast at getting their edits out and I'm so jealous! I loved their reaction and I'd recommend checking it out once you've watched the ep...

The Clone Wars: The Mandalore Trilogy [040-042/134] ✦ Watchalong Reaction & Review

Hello there! This reaction is one (of a few) in my "Try Before You Buy" reaction videos here on Patreon. You must have your own copy of the episodes to watchalong as I do blur the episodes and have the audio muted. I leave around 30 seconds of it up at the start of each episode for syncing purposes. I am not allowed to distribute the entire episodes in my videos as this is illegal. Thank you for watching along with me!

Oh boy, it has been a week. 😭 I hope you all are doing well! It is time for my edited reaction to Part V of Obi-Wan Kenobi. I'm so sorry that it took so long to get this out (and also apologize for The Prestige not being out yet). It's been a hard last half of this week.

The Prestige (2006) ✦ Full-Length Watchalong Reaction

Hello again everyone! Wow, this is an amazing film. [Direct link here.]

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: I ended up having to pause the movie during this viewing, which I try and avoid doing, but you'll see why I had to. 😅 This pausing occurs when the movie (and timer in the corner) reaches 1:46:06. Could I have edited this out? Probably. But I left it in because it could give you all a good opportunity to take...

I hope you are all having a good week! I talk about it in this video at the start, but for those of you who won't watch it, Ella had a dentist appointment yesterday and ended up having teeth extracted. So she's not having a good time at the moment and ...
