The Acolyte 1x06 * FULL LENGTH REACTION

More character development!

I love seeing both sides and how they talk/interact with Mae/Osha. Though I will say, I am very interested in hearing what Sol has to say, though it does seem like his relationship with Qimir goes back a very long time ago.

Obviously we all have our speculations, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.

Also... a lightsaber/whip?! That's pretty neat though I feel like it may not be a very good defensive weapon.

House of the Dragon 2x02 * FULL LENGTH REACTION

Full steam ahead!

What an amazing episode, full of frustrations, mistakes, steps in the right direction, and so much more. There are so many things happening and I'm loving the suspense and not knowing where it's going.

This is the style of series that is 100% up my alley, and I love watching (and will rewatch many times once it's done)

For this style of reaction, you need your own copy to watch the movie.  You can set picture in picture by right ...

House of the Dragon 2x01 * FULL LENGTH REACTION

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!

And what a first episode it was. They are not wasting time at all, and I'm so pumped for it all.

It feels so nice to dive into Westeros again, it's like a friend that I haven't seen in a long time.

As usual, my confidence in Daemon is non-existent, though I do partially root for team Black, I still also root for some of team Green. I'm mostly just along for the ride and cheer on some of them while getting angry at others 🤣

Clearly things wil...

The Longest Day (1962) * FULL LENGTH REACTION

This reaction is brought to you by one of our Producers!!!

Another black and white movie, which I never though was something I would watch, but here we are. I've seen a handful of them already, and it won't stop!

It's always interesting to see what the production/filming style is like in different decades, and you can see just how much has changed since then. I'm always amazed to see a movie from the 50/60/70s and a more recent one, and seeing the huge pacing di...

This is where those in the TV Series Tier and up have a chance to win a movie request.

Here is the video to show you the race, and again, if you don't want to watch the video, that is perfectly fine!  If you win and you do not want to request a movie, you can pass, or you can say something like "Vero, I trust your movie ju...

Tales of the Empire - Morgan 1x01, 1x02, 1x03 * FULL LENGTH REACTION

Time for a look into the Empire!

I cannot WAIT to see this character again!! (Please don't tell me what show I will see her in, if any)

They really showed us a great storyline and a great character. I love that spear. I love the non-Jedi aspect of it. It's so intriguing!!!

I really feel like Disney can do animated Star Wars so well. I would love to have more series or even a movie made like this.

Despite having never seen this character, I am so glad that I wat...

The Acolyte 1x05 * FULL LENGTH REACTION

I've realized that this series is a suspense/thriller, what with all the secrecy and things we find out throughout the series!

It didn't dawn on me until literally 2 minutes ago as I started typing this up 🤣

I think one issue that "The Acolyte" has, is making its place in a world that doesn't usually have this type of story. Sure in all the movies we find out things as we watch, but there's another theme about hope right alongside it, which I feel like this series doesn't have...

Zombieland (2009) * FULL LENGTH REACTION

I totally forgot to post this last week when it was ready... so here it is!

Zombieland... the winner of the YT poll!! I was expecting to not like it because of Jesse Eisenberg, but this was a role he did well!

I was pleasantly surprised by this!! I've learned a few tips for the eventual zombie apocalypse that we'll have to deal with. Also, pro tip for everyone... if you see humans, don't pretend to be a zombie, it probably won't end well.

I love a zombie movie,...

The Abyss - Special Edition (1989) * FULL LENGTH REACTION

Thanks to our May Marble winner, James H. for this request!

I have to say... this is not at ALL what I was expecting or even remotely close to what I thought the movie was going to be.

At no point did I think there would be a civilization down there 🤣

Such a joy to see Ed Harris again, and I really do like him. I need more of his movies, that's for sure.

I'm a little bummed that I read the IMDB trivia, but it's also a good thing since it reminds me tha...

Update on TV Series!

I made a video in case you want to check that out! It basically says what's below, except you don't have to read anything 😂

We finished Arcane last week, so next week I'll start House of the Dragon Season 2. Over the next couple of weeks I'll catch up and soon I'll release my reaction to the episode that airs on Sunday on the Monday or Tuesday.

I was planning on watching The Pacific, but I forgot about HotD, so The Pacific will most likely be after HotD 😅

Tales of the Jedi - Dooku 1x02, 1x03, 1x04 * FULL LENGTH REACTION

Another great insight into a character!

For this series, I'm doing things a little bit differently. I split the series into two videos, one for Ahsoka and one for Dooku. I recorded it all in order, but then realized that I didn't want the video to be partially Dooku and partially Ahsoka, so in this video we have episodes 2, 3 and 4!

Dooku is someone that has gone through a lot, obviously from becoming a Jedi, then switching over to a Sith. He does have his reasons for doing so, a...

The Acolyte 1x04 * FULL LENGTH REACTION

We're getting there...

Progressing through the story and getting a bit more of a feel for everything. It does feel like not much happens each episode, but at the same time, the episodes are shorter than what I'm used to. I am used to either having 20 minute episodes or 45 minute episodes. This weird 30 min ish episode feels weird.

It always seems like we're leading to somewhere, then the episode ends. Like this one... I think next episode should be pretty great!

Independence Day (1996) * FULL LENGTH REACTION

Thanks to our June Marble winner, Kelvar J. for this request!

As you may know, I'm not a big Will Smith fan, but I'm glad that this movie has more than one main character! The fact that Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman have their own storylines that converge helps a lot.

I still need to see Will Smith in a serious role lol

The movie was not at all what I expected. I was expecting an action movie more than anything.... and this was not that. Jeff Goldbl...

I will start off by saying that this movie is one where you can rewatch it and you'll pick up on more the second time around. Just skimming through the movie to double check a few things, and I noticed just how great it is!

It felt so incredibly real. How people would react, what people would do, what some government would do. I love how passionate Ellie and Kent and their team are! They aren't doing it for fame and glory, but because they are curious.

The end already?!

What a final episode it was though!!

All I can say about this series is that it is heartbreaking for so many characters! I am really looking forward to seeing what Jinx will do in this upcoming war. She has lost everyone basically, and is alone.

Though I'm not sure what will happen with Viktor, and the team up of Heimerdinger and Ekko is something that will be pretty awesome.

I also wonder if topside will be split into different factions as well....

The Acolyte 1x03 * FULL LENGTH REACTION

FLASHBACK TIME!!

I think this episode was a great addition to the story. It clears things up, and also give us more information about the girls, and possibly what we can expect in the future.

I think the Witches (Mother Koril and Mother.. mother) showed me the best acting of the series, they felt natural! Though I really thought only the males had the horns, like Darth Maul, so I'm unsure of what exactly is going on.

To me, this is also a backstory on the Darth Maul spe...

**A quick note, there is a 10 ish second section that has no video for me. I guess OBS messed up somehow and I didn't notice until after I finished recording and I didn't want to record a random 10 second section of me to insert into it 🤣

The size of the emotional tidal wave caused by this movie is ridiculous! Bruce Willis can play such a caring person, and Haley Joel Osment is just phenomenal!

Everyone is developing so amazingly, and I love the partnerships/team ups that we're seeing.

I have to say, I absolutely love how you never know what Jinx will do next, but it's also so sad to see. So it seems both Jinx AND Vi got some shimmer in order to prevent them from dying. How fitting that the sisters both needed the same thing :D

One of my favourite things is Heimerdinger with Ekko!! Last time it looke...

The Acolyte 1x02 * FULL LENGTH REACTION

We're getting to know a bit more about the twins and it seems like they are the main characters/protagonist/antagonist?

It does seem like the Jedi of this time are weaker than what I would have expected. Then again, it's possible that they are just regular Jedi and not Obi-Wan/Yoda/Anakin caliber. That makes a huge difference, since we've seen how some Jedi aren't exceptional.

I do want to ask you all... is there any material from around this time that I can read? Novels, co...

12 Angry Men (1957) * FULL LENGTH REACTION

It should be called 12 Angry Men + 1 Angry viewer 🤣

It's really nice to just have a movie focused on dialogue instead of visuals. It's also very frustrating to see a group of people who are so incredibly different, interact with each other. It just goes to show you how humans can differ greatly from one another.

It's definitely a movie that frustrates me, because I see a lot of people that I've met in my life. Working in construction for many years has expo...

Pleasant Patreon Pick Poll!

Holy alliteration Batman!

Seeing as the votes ended up having:

I decided to make 2 polls: One for Patreon and one for YouTube, so make sure to vote in both!

I do love how for this poll each movie is in a different decade! If only Singing in the Rain was 1947 or 1957, then all of them would have released in a year ending in 7 😂

I don't know much about these, aside from Sunshine and Contact being sci-fi.
