Thank you all so much for the entertaining questions in our first Q&A here!I enjoyed answering them and I'll definitely be doing more of these in the future :)🩷 See you all in the next one (probably in January)!

Only an hour long? :) You continually impress me with your work ethic.

Dave Olden

If you’re a gamer (which you just said you are) I think you’d really enjoy Ready Player One (Directed by Steven Spielberg, with music by Alan Silvestri).

TheJoeKerr

lol not you pulling up one of Cecilia’s vids. My algorithm always recommends her. I’m fascinated by her living in a place like Svalbard. Seems so simple and easy living but I don’t think I could deal with being in the dark as much and the cold/snow. Since you’re rebranding to something with Cats, maybe something like KaliCats or KaliKats (like Allycats) or KaliKitties

o.o

Phil Stubblefield

Ditto! I can't believe how hard you work to stay connected with your patrons! 👍🏻👍🏻

kaliwali

Spielberg & a gaming movie? Say less 🙀

PluePlue

Yes, please do Stranger Things! I most definitely think you'll enjoy it!

Phil Stubblefield

I would have been very disappointed if you hadn't cited Lord of the Rings as your favorite film so far! 😉 My favorite creators all tend to say that (Cassie, Addie Counts, ...).

Richard

Thank you so much for doing this Kali. You are always thinking of things to make your channel fun. It was really good getting more insight into your journey and I like how you’re totally being yourself and we get the genuine person. I feel bad about the stress and negative comments but it’s amazing how you power through. I will try to think of more interesting questions next time lol Super glad I held off on sending the Pirate and Jedi-themed Koala tshirts I was saving for a special milestone 😂 Cats and Penguins it is!

Phil Stubblefield

I just listened to the part where you shared that someone accused you of including "AI slop", and I feel the need to defend you! Your prose has always impressed me, and it's been consistently good over the course of your channel. It is obviously *you*, and you are obviously *very* talented! Just keep tuning out the tiny naysayer minority and focus on the feedback from the majority who very much appreciate what you do! Oops! Sorry about that outburst, but that accusation apparently upset me more than I initially realized... 🫢

Scot J

It’s unfortunate, especially if you’re a child of the 80’s, that they stripped out so much of the awesome ‘geekiness’ stuff (Dungeons and Dragons, Tempest, Joust, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, etc). I understand that they had to change it to appeal to a wider audience, but this is one of those cases where the book is better than the movie, especially if you’re north of 40.

Michael Enos

My only game right now is Diablo Immortal. Have you heard of that one.. thoughts?

BigBrain69

shotgun + ammo and Sniper + ammo, most american answer ever

Amko Basic

I can see a picture infront of me of you rewatching like the gwen scene at the end of the amazing spider-man 2 xD torturing yourself. I really hope once you get back to gaming we get to see you play Expedition 33!!

Bernie Zwicky

First of all…Thank you for all you do! You are so thoughtful and kind in how you interact with your community members. I can’t imagine how anyone could say anything hurtful to you, that’s just plain wrong! I’m also sorry for what you went through during your childhood…makes me emotional just thinking about it, but I’m glad that you overcame it and became the intelligent and genuine person that you are today! I have seen many movie reactors, but stay with you for your heartfelt reactions and commentary after the movie. I hope you don’t mind, but I have some suggestions for movies that I’ve enjoyed and that I think you would, too. *Equalizer 1, 2, 3 (2014-2023) *Top Gun, Top Gun Maverick (1986-2022) *The Bourne movies 1-6 (2002-2019) *Jack Reacher movies (2012) *Reacher series (2022) *K-9 (very funny action/comedy)(1989) *The Bee Keeper (2024) *Homefront (2013) *First Blood:Rambo (1982) *Die Hard movies (The first one takes place around Christmas) (1988) *Under Siege 1, 2 (1992-1995) *Star Trek movies or series (eventually 😊) I’m sorry for the long list…I certainly don’t expect to see any of them right away, but if you feel one would be good for your channel, that would be great!!😊❤️

BigBrain69

I really like the Q+A, would be cool to have one maybe once or twice a year, for example at the start and maybe at the end of the year. Don't worry about trashing us gamers, We are unbearable sometimes especially over on youtube and twitch. We definitely earned the bad rep, cause I remember the Genophage arc during mass effect and I apologize cause I also was not very nice in one of my comments. I learned from that after you told us how it affected you and now I just shut up if I don't like something and be supportive. I still remember watching you on twitch from time to time playing Cyberunk before you stopped streaming. After you stopped the gaming I zoned out for a while because most of the movies don't interest me that much, but I always came back for some Andor, or now Batman. I don't really watch you on youtube anymore because I like the unedited versions more here on patreon, but when gaming is back on the table I will be there. Also respect to you for being the bread winner and respect to your husband for being a stay at home dad. Can't be easy. Hope you guys will do well in the future.

McShades

I've been watching you for awhile now and not once have I thought you've used A.I. for anything. You and Cassie are my top two reactors, mostly because I feel both of you are very honest with your reactions which is very important to me. I've come across some reactors who do popular movies pretending not to have seen then when it's obvious they have, I just find that annoying and makes their reaction videos feel staged/fake. Anyways, I personally think your doing a great job and can't await to see what you have planned for the future.

Richard

Oh that’s right, you did ask us for our idea for a movie character that represents you. Honestly I have to go with Princess Leia - short and spicy, rough back story, but ended up embodying virtue and strength. Since her name came up a few times, I wanted to say that yes Cassie is great but honestly you are the best at what you do so I think we’re all very happy that you are planning on continuing the journey.

Raymond Guerra

Lol nothing should keep you up at night that isn't inside your literal reach : )

Raymond Guerra

Saw you on twitch feels like forever ago tho.

Raymond Guerra

Sherlock is definitely worth the watch, such great writing.

Raymond Guerra

Do what's best for you and your channel.

Raymond Guerra

Is your cat peeking through the bed?

Raymond Guerra

Oh yes definitely need to side with Arthur he needs another gun at his side. Snitch on Micah.

Raymond Guerra

As for games, the outer worlds is great, so much to say about it, great story and if you like the 1950's esthetics in a sci-fi setting you'll love it and it has multiple endings depending on how you play it, also had great dlc..

Raymond Guerra

I think you line up with taka from last samurai, noble and emotionally deep.

Raymond Guerra

Holiday movies watch Christmas story if you get the chance.

Raymond Guerra

Aww I can totally see you and biss being friends.

Raymond Guerra

You never give ai vibes, people are just afraid of being fooled. You Definitely give writer vibes

Michael Enos

Also.. would love to see a "Marvel team-up" reaction with your idol Cassie from PIB.. either virtual or together in person.. I think you both would have fun and it would be fun for us fans too. (You wouldn't need to watch an MCU film.. I was just calling it that 😉)

Raymond Guerra

You should give Tombstone a shot if you haven't already. Grounded and epic

M1 Maz

Hi, can you please combine your comments and just post them all at once? This isn't the right way to post comments on a pre-recorded video as you watch. Other people's comments will get buried. Thank you. - Kali's mod

Raymond Guerra

I totally understand why you majored in psychology now.

Paul Wright

Since you said you're up for longer form shows with breaks and grounded themes, I recommend these: 1. Lost - action and human drama with some fantasy/sci-fi elements. 2. Sleepy Hollow- supernatural show with biblical elements. 3. Gotham - Batman villain origin stories through the eyes of rookie detective Jim Gordon. Looking forward to your reactions 😀

Raymond Guerra

No, star gate is definitely it's own thing. Star trek is more science fiction vs science fantasy.

Raymond Guerra

Shadow and bone on Netflix. It's sadly only 2 seasons..

Giancarlo Gasparin

Thanks for taking the time to answer all these questions, Kali! Best advice I can give you moving forward is to free yourself from feeling obligated to get back to everyone. While we all love hearing from you, the reality is that your following is going to grow to a point where it’ll become impossible to maintain your content schedule and respond to everyone’s comments across every platform. You’re doing great, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Raymond Guerra

Shotgun with slugs can cover a moderate range out to 150 yards.. anything beyond that you can just avoid those zombies.

Raymond Guerra

Gamers can definitely be dicks.. it's a competitive driven community to it's detriment.

Raymond Guerra

If you've seen vikings, try the last kingdom.

Raymond Guerra

The pacific is rough and such a good dive into the dark corners of humanity that it's a hard rewatch

Michael Enos

Ok 3rd time I'm commenting. I appreciate you sharing some of your story. My father was an alcoholic til I was about 7 yrs old.. I know that doesn't seem lke a very long time.. but I remember those years. I empathize with how you had to grow up and the cards you were dealt. I am thankful you made it out and you seem well adjusted given those circumstances.. I love your reactions and I value that you bring your emotions.. I can't get through LOTR without a box of kleenex and a lot of movies and music affect me in the same way. Please keep going.. eff the haters.😉

M1 Maz

I really enjoyed this format! It felt very cozy just hanging out and watching you scroll through the comments and answering them at your own pace. I feel like doing them live could get very chaotic, and branch into a lot of side discussions at a surface level, instead of the depth you were able to have here. But I also haven't really enjoyed live content in general for quite a while now, so maybe that's just me haha As far as the "AI slop" comment, I remember seeing one person complaining about it I think on one of your announcement or update posts where you used an AI generated background. There's literally no issue with using AI for that, because you know, why not? But there's always gonna be people who have heart attacks when they see AI used for insignificant things lol. So maybe it was about that? And if someone was delusional enough to think that your write-ups are AI, then it's probably a good thing that they're no longer in this community LOL. Your beautiful, long, detailed write-ups have always been a highlight of your content on Patreon! I jokingly have thought to myself that you should offer a $2 "read only" tier where people can't watch the video reaction but can still read the write-up haha. For movies that I've seen, I always jump on the app right away to read your thoughts, even if I won't be able to watch for a while. And for new movies for me, they're a fun summary to look back on after watching. So don't let comments like that get you down and make you self-conscious about what you write, and how much you write. Keep being you!

Kristoffer

I want you to know that every true fan or watcher of you, would never insult or be rude towards you! And i know its hard, to not take what dumb people write, wether it be gaming, movie or tv show related, or just non content related comments to heart! But just know that we all love you, and that you truly are why we are here!

Milton Reduxed

Remember that about 10%-15% of the population is crazy and they all have keyboards, so pay no attention to the nonsense people spew on the internet—just because they are typing in intelligible sentences doesn't mean they are sane or reasonable Emmy Reacts posts YT videos a month in advance for members—anyone who has a problem can sign up if they are that desperate to watch the reaction earlier, or they can be patient and watch it for free later

Dude Longcouch

That was a very dark and unexpected answer to my Terminator question, but I respect it 🤔 I was dying laughing when you went down the cinephile rabbit hole. I also lived with my grandparents as a child, from grades 3 through 9. Interesting thing we have in common. I'd be excited for a Breaking Bad reaction. I think you'll like it.

Dude Longcouch

I'll second LOST - I would absolutely love a Kali reaction to that show, and I think she would love it too.

Milton Reduxed

The thing about paid direct requests is because people have shelled out their money they feel the reaction is just for them and they will pick a movie accordingly, without considering whether it has broader appeal, which is understandable It's a useful way to make a bit of money when the channel is smaller but your channel is growing quickly and a broader consensus is preferable imo. Something a lot of channels are doing is a monthly lottery—I think this is the best way to both include more niche titles on the schedule, whilst keeping everyone involved with the possibility their choice might be next

McShades

Stargate SG-1 is sci-fi series, but it's based on earth. There is a Stargate movie that started the whole thing, you'll probably want to watch that first if you ever decided to watch Stargate SG-1, It is 10 seasons long with two movies at the end, It also continues with Stargate Atlantis which is 5 seasons long, and there was Stargate Universe which lasted 2 seasons but was cancelled on a cliff hanger with no ending. Amazon just announced that they will be launching a new Stargate series on Amazon Prime, which I imagine won't come out until 2027 FYI, Wheel of time Tv Show did get cancelled. Another really good TV Show is "24"... Where the story happens in real time, for example the first episode is hour 1, the second episode is hour 2, etc...

KamikazeCDN

I know I've personally been following you for awhile though I don't recall if I ever caught you on Twitch. I first found your channel when you started Mass Effect (the OG uploads) so it was pre-reactions. It was actually Mass Effect 3 that kinda locked me in as a viewer, not that I hadn't been up to that point. I remember leaving a comment during the whole genophage cure and what you have to do to prevent it...I mentioned how I admired your firm stance on sticking to what you first believed in until the game asked to much of you (I think I used different wording but its been awhile). Which hopefully it wasn't one of the comments from the gaming side that made you feel shitty or whatever but if it did...apologies (how Canadian of me) all this time later (regardless if you remember it or not). But I said how I didn't always agree but I absolutely admired you for sticking to it for as long as you could...and that sort of ties into the whole being "true to yourself" stuff mentioned in this video. Its obvious you are you. You're willing to laugh, cry, get frustrated or angry all on camera for us to see without appearing to fake it. I watch a lot of reactions channels, it's how I got through the pandemic, but a lot of my former favs/mains clearly stopped being authentic somewhere along the way. There are still good ones and you give off strong "good one" vibes, you always have even all the way back to what I mentioned above. Obviously I mentioned in my question about you slowing down sci-fi a little bit but I just wanted to reiterate that I agree with that choice. Its the routine for reaction channels, one genre does well that attracts more fans of that genre and pretty soon its dominating. I love sci-fi, I'll always watch more of it. I love The Expanse, I'll totally watch it when it gets its day however I also look forward to a break. There are a lot of great movies and shows out there in other genres. I mentioned 3 movies on the Discord recently that would never get a chance with the sci-fi dominance. Or a show like Sons of Anarchy, it's an amazing crime/drama/thriller that has never got much "reactor attention" because it's drowned out by the popular shows...largely sci-fi stuff.

Lastboyscout73

Since I was the one to trip you up on cinephile, I have always pronounced it like cinema (which obviously is another name for movies) I have gotten many questions over the years of how I know so much about this movie or that movie and I'm the same way with music, I always seem to know the artist and the words and the song names. I always thought, how wonderful it would be to get paid to have all this knowledge that seems mostly useless. I was born in the wrong era, I would of so loved being able to react to movies and music as a content creator and make that a job. I found it very entertaining to see you go through the process of trying to figure out how to say it, for all I know, I have been saying it wrong for years lol. I want to add that currently, you are the only Patreon content creator I subscribe to because you come across so genuine. I have tried others and sometimes their reactions come across as fake and forced just so they are reacting. I would rather have what comes across as "the real deal". About the writing, it's true, it's hard to tell out there anymore what's real or fake. Especially since I have seen that and AI created actress and an AI created country singer have become really popular. It really makes the Terminator movies just a little scarier. Anyway, I am very happy for you that your channel is on the rise and succeeding, keep being you and it will soar!

Damon Shaw

Please don't sweat it over the "AI slop" comment. Your synopsis' are so well thought out and descriptive in a world where shortform slop/soundbites (which is true slop imo) have become the norm. Their comment is more a reflection of the kind of content they mostly injest, and subsequently became normalised to. It's sad they can't fathom that other human beings are capable of writing something as deeply thoughtful as you're able to. After seeing a few of your videos it's evident how intelligent you are, so it didn't take me a calculator and figuring out algebra to see that those words are yours.

FigLeaf Bicarbonate

I can't wait for you to back into gaming. Always loved your insight into narratives with games like God Of War. Also I'm really excited about the possibility of you reacting to Breaking Bad.

Alex

attack on titan

kaliwali

I love her! There is somethign so calming about her videos. I love that she loves looking at the sky and just being in awe of it literally every video despite living there for yeaaaars. Must be so beautiful, but you're right.. I prob could never 😅

kaliwali

I'm excited to play a game again!! I've been missing it a ton, so I'm glad there's so many of you excited for that day!

kaliwali

Thank you! Yeah we're heading into some crazy AI times so I guess I understand why he came in here paranoid lol

kaliwali

I loved the whole cine pronunciation rabbit hole your question took me down LOL. And yours honestly makes the most sense so I'll be adopting it from now on 🤣 And seriously thank you for picking my reactions to show support on Patreon! I'm glad you've been loving your time here so far!

kaliwali

That's so sad to hear that Wheel of Time got cancelled! My mother in law used to rave about that one so I wonder if she knows 👀 I guess I'll go ahead and read the books then instead!

kaliwali

What a crazy thing to have in common 🤣

kaliwali

Thank you so much for the confidence to get back into my write-ups! It's definitely been weighing on me a lil bit these past couple of weeks, so seeing all the support here in the comments is making me shake it off! So thank you! It is the internet after all lol. I do think that we are headed into such a wild future though. Nobody knows what's real online! And I'm glad you loved the format and very good point about the live chat chaos LOL

kaliwali

Even if it was only for a few years that can still weigh on you the rest of your life. So you're not alone :) Thank you for sharing & hanging out here!

kaliwali

Great advice honestly! It's hard to not reply to people lol but I do need mental sanity at the same time!

kaliwali

Oo LOST was recommended awhile back and may have even been on that poll with BSG but I forget now lol. I'll definitely pull that back up the list!

kaliwali

I love that! Princess Leia is a huge compliment, thank you! And I appreciate the kind words a lot, thank you 🩷

kaliwali

LOL the koala mug will live on and be a fun reminder to where it all began tho!

kaliwali

Thank you for the recommendations! All of them are going on my lists!

kaliwali

LOL it can be triggering when you love writing and someone called your thoughts and soul 'AI slop' 🤣 so I totally get your anger. But I appreciate the kind words and uplifting message so thank you!

kaliwali

I have heard of it! But I've only played Diablo IV and I loved it

Paul Wright

Your emotion vision and intelligence would be perfect for that show. Lots of pop-culture and literary references. Highly encourages repeat viewings too. Not to mention a stellar cast. I've been a Lostie since the 3rd season, so I'm looking forward if that is chosen.

kaliwali

LOL notice when I learned to pronounce cine, my southern twang came out to memorize it 🤣😅

kaliwali

Ooo heard that game is beautiful!

Robert Lineburg

Yes, Chernobyl. It's right up there with Band of Brothers level for miniseries. Plus, it's only 5 episodes, so it's not a big commitment. Stargate is completely separate. Amazon just announced like 2 days ago, the show is coming back, but there is a LOT to it. I kind of think it would not be a good draw for viewers, but I did enjoy them all. Including the last one that got the axe pretty quickly.

Raymond Guerra

Yup she's a good egg, just like you. Sweet souls find each other and make good friendships.

McShades

I was watching a clip of reactions from various viewers of Saving Private Ryan and I saw a clip of you in it, but I don't see Saving Private Ryan on your Patrean list, was that a YouTube only reaction video?

M1 Maz

Yep, as her first reaction, SPR was long before she had thought of doing Patreon. So by the time she made a Patreon, she had already deleted the footage to save space on her hard drive

Joe

This was fun. I am surprised so many people get angry with you for not getting an immediate, or any, response. I appreciate you doing what you can. And you are making a living off this, which is great, I would also not stress if you happen to put something behind a paywall. People are so entitled. And if you don’t respond to this, I will be sending at least 10 angry DMs.

NinjaMidget

Thanks for this. Most people wouldn't share so much about very difficult times in their past. You've missed a lot in terms of movies & TV, but on the 'glass is half full' side of things you have a lot to catch up on. One of the reasons that I love reactions is the same reason I couldn't wait to take my kids to Disneyland. It's a kind of reliving the magic sort of thing. Wanting to go back to a time when you could see something again for the first time. Like Cassie, you seem very authentic in your reactions so that's why I sub'd and keep watching. I am absolutely in awe that you really didn't get the 'pay no attention to that man behind the curtain' reference. I won't give spoilers, but that's from a movie that is more than 80 years old...I'll let you just figure that one out on your own :) Anyway, thanks for the vid and looking forward to more content.

McShades

NNNNOooooooooo lol oh well...

Jose Morales

Would have loved to have watched this when it went up, but I was bedridden. Glad I feel better today and could watch. I didn't expect my question to out such a surprise. Lol. As for your gaming gaming community, I've come to observe that many get upset when you don't play how they play. I recall recently watching your Heimdall fight, and you saying it took you a bit to catch on. I felt you did great. I died about 3 times before I fully understood that fight. Can't wait to watch more of your movie streams and the next game you have lined up.

pinkdino99

You are definitely a Hobbit. I see you as Rosie Gamgee. Have you ever worked in a bar ?

pinkdino99

May I offer some advice ? You will never please everyone. And trying to please everyone will drive you insane. Imagine you had 100,000 subs (won't be long !) and you do something that pisses off 5% of them. That's 5,000 people all angry and shouting at you. But 95,000 ARE HAPPY ! You do you. Your core fans that love you will stay loyal. And you will be sane(er). And I'd turn the DMs off.

kaliwali

LOL please no angry DMs! 😅 But yeah I think I need to figure out how to be less sensitive in this space. It is the internet afterall and you're just bound to deal with some ungratefuls. But it's kinda who I am so it's difficult to turn that side of me off when I see negativity about my content that I put my love/soul into!

kaliwali

Oh no! I hope you're feeling better now! Some of my family got hit with some crazy stomach/cough/fever bugs this week. Luckily we haven't gotten together for a dinner in a bit so my family didn't get it 😅 And yes, that's exactly what it is when it comes to gaming! I think playing it ahead of time and being less active in the backseat comments over there will be best going forward on YouTube!

kaliwali

LOL I've never worked at a bar, but I can see me being a hobbit 🌿

kaliwali

this is honestly a very great perspective shift lol. thank you!!

Jose Morales

Thank you. I'm still in pain. May be a strained muscle from work, but I do feel a lot better now.

Black_TYGR

You are an amazing spirit! The DM Trolls are quite unfortunate. They are always lurking tho. Keep doing what you do, while being happy! I know I’m appreciative with all that you do for your members. You’re quite inspiring. I have to say, your cats in the background are so therapeutic. Haha. Thanks for being great, Kali.

CamNofx

merci à toi pour tes réaction

LazyBoy Stays Up Late Watchin Video Tapes

You describe a criticism experience that seems to have turned you away from writing. Sorry to hear that happened but, that resistance you were met with is a good thing because, no one ties to stop something that is not moving. If you are making moves and breaking away from your norm, you will be met with resistance and that is a good sign. My question, to ask yourself but not to answer to me: What if you were to write for yourself, because you have a story that you need to tell? What if you sent this story to a publisher without telling anyone here on Patreon?
