Hey cozy cats! 🤍Before we jump into this week's schedule, I want to be really open with you about where I'm at.Unfortunately, I'm still not better. Our little one ended up catching whatever my husband and I had last week and somehow, she got the boss-level version of it. She had a horrible croup cough that had us really worried and a fever that stuck around through the entire weekend. I spent all weekend awake with her at all hours of the night just making sure she was comfy and breathing okay, while I was still trying to recover myself. I think between the lack of sleep and pushing through to record on Saturday when I shouldn't have, I ended up going back downhill myself. I currently sound like I smoke a pack a day & have a horrible cough that won't quit.The good news: She is finally doing much better today and got her voice back. Hearing her talk again and have her energy back feels like a huge relief 🥲😅 We didn't get tested, but based on how much this wiped all of us out I'm guessing we most likely had the flu. So this week's schedule is a bit up in the air. It may still change. It may still even be added to. But I really don't want to push myself to record if I'm not 100% because relapsing like this feels miserable. Right now, my priority is taking care of my family and myself to make sure I can recover properly before jumping back in. As of today (Tuesday), I don't see myself recording today or tomorrow. I'll keep you all updated in the community chat here and let you know the moment I press record again so you have a heads-up on when content will be coming back to you! I don't think I've been this sick in a long time, so thank you so much for your patience while I get back to myself. And honestly, after this whole experience, I think it's time for me to get back to my morning walks because when I was doing those I was never sick 😅Here's the tentative schedule for this week (subject to change): 🦑 Squid Game | Season 3 / Final 3 Episodes🌿 Frieren | Season 1 / Episodes 20-23🗡️ Demon Slayer | Season 1 / Episodes 13-16😈 Daredevil | Season 1 / Episodes 6 and 7🍿 Maybe a movie (I have one in mind), but most likely not so I can get better.Before I go, another quick but important note about my summaries 🤍I know I mentioned recently that I was feeling really done with the "you're using AI to write your summaries" comments. As a content creator/artist, those comments genuinely crush my soul. I even considered stepping away from writing them at all or moving them somewhere less visible to the trolls. But then... the response from you all absolutely floored me. The kindness, encouragement, and support you all left reminded me why I do what I do in the first place. So I decided to keep things exactly the way they are and continue attaching my summaries to each reaction. aka: the trolls can suck it, respectfully 🫶🏻I write these summaries from my heart. No, I haven't written any books. No, I probably never will. But I have been writing my entire life as an outlet when my life was super dark. From diary entries, to Xanga and Myspace blogs (aging myself here lol), to college ethics and history courses that completely reignited my love for analysis and writing. I actually got yelled at more than once for being too "poetic" when things were supposed to be strictly logical in those courses lol. But I couldn't help it. I've always felt deeply about what I was writing.And that passion found its way right back here into the movies and shows I get to experience with you all. It's been so much fun to write and share my thoughts with more than just my ethics teacher who yelled at me or my 3 followers on Xanga lol.Knowing how much you enjoy reading my summaries, to the point that you felt compelled to defend them... it honestly means more than you know. So thank you. From the bottom of my heart. For giving me that inspiration back 🥲🤍I know this week isn't what we all planned for, but rest is really needed for me right now. I don't want to push myself and end up back at square one.. again. Thank you for understanding so that when I am back 100%, I can jump in and keep our normal rhythm going again! I love you all and hope you're healthy 🍵🤍 Thank you for being here

Hope you all recover well & didn’t know you had a kid but hope they get better soon !

Michael Enos

I never thought your summaries were AI.. Eff the haterzzzz. 😂 Please feel better soon. 💙

TheJoeKerr

I’m glad you decided to keep writing the summaries and I won’t be as nice as you and say “fuck the haters, don’t like it then don’t read it or gtfo”. Get plenty of rest and feel better soon!

AJ

Get well soon Kali and take your time ! , & i personally never ever got the impression you use AI to write your summaries idk where people got that from lol

Jp Davis

I hope you and your family feel better soon! Take as much time as you need. And screw the haters. How in depth you go with your summary’s are one of my favorite parts! Don’t change because of losers

Trevor Stull

Feel better, we will await your return whenever you deem yourself ready

JOE

The Trolls are outnumbered over here, we got your back. And, we love the summaries. 👍

Andrew Thompson

I'm so glad you're feeling better and me and my family send all our love to you and your family!

Gamaliel Freeman

Do your best to come back stronger Kali, your health is upmost importance

Phil Frakes

When reading your comments AI never even entered my mind. You have a certain flair to expressing your feelings that I don't think AI can duplicate. The trolls must simply be jealous of your writing skills! My only observation is that I never see anything negative in your assessments. Are there any shows or movies that you actually don't like?

KJ

Hey Kali. Rest your voice, mind and body. If you absolutely feel the need to do something, maybe instead of recording reactions you can just focus on converting watch alongs to the new Patreon format, or edit down reactions that haven't made it to YouTube yet (eg Butch & Sundance). That way you can still feel accomplished and not dwell on inactivity while you recover. Most importantly though is your abs your family's health. Sincerely, get well soon!

Phil Stubblefield

Kali, as I *always* say, you take care of yourself and your family first of all! I so appreciated you taking the time to explain your situation, but I don't expect you to devote any additional time to this channel until you feel better! <strong>We're not going anywhere!</strong> 😊 And as for those AI trolls, I completely agree with you: they can suck it! *We* know your heart and your literary skill, and we love reading your prose! Get well, friend! 🤍

Robert da Spruce

Of course, you and your family’s health comes first. I’m glad your little one’s feeling better Do what you can, when you can. No need to worry about us. We aren’t going anywhere Hope everyone feels better soon P.S. I never thought your posts were AI Even though they are very articulate and well written, I often see snippets from things you said during your actual reactions So please try not to let it get you (easier said than done sometimes) Observant people know the truth

Onno Smits

Take your time, rest up! I don't have kids, but most of my friends do at this point, and the amount of times they get into a sickness cycle between parents and kid is concerning. Little germ factories! 🤣

Sky Quest Music Official

Dude, your kiddos health and the health of you and your husband is the most important thing there is. If you need the whole week off you absolutely take it. You know we're all still gonna be here when you get back🤘 And HELL YES!!! I'm so happy you decided to keep writing your summaries and synopsis' here and told the trolls to respectfully suck it. (I personally would've used a different term that rhymes with suck but that's just me. I'm a truck driver for my day job whaddya expect😉🤣 ) But seriously Kali, thats the way to do it! We LOVE reading your thoughts. You know you're always gonna have trolls and haters but look at your numbers now. You're almost reaching 100k subs. Bro thats MULTIPLE ARENAS full of people who love what you do! You know even the most loved artists, musicians, writers etc have trolls who just write off the endless amount of blood sweat and tears they put into their art. But in the end, you know and they know the love they receive shall ALWAYS over power the trolls. You know how awesome you are Kali, and you know you got literally arenas of people that have your back! Hope you and your family get well soon. Take all the time you need! You know we aint going anywhere!🤘🤘

Theo Clarke

I just joined your patreon a few weeks ago and absolutely adore your detailed summaries! Most YouTubers will just record, upload and move on to the next vid but you expressing your feelings in writing about each and every episode really shows your attentiveness to the story and characters. Keep being you I hope you and your family get well soon 🙏

J Diego SM

Get well soon Kali, and same wishes to your loved ones as well!! That is the most important thing right now. Don't stop doing your summaries, let the trolls buzz all they want!

TheTriibalChief

The need of trolls to put others down to make themselves feel better never fails to baffle me. Hope you and your family are all feeling better soon, Kali!

Chris

Wtf? There were "you're using AI" comments? I guess some people never learn that, while the world may merit a healthy degree of cynicism, making it a knee-jerk response does not, in fact, make you smarter or more worldly than everyone else. Keep ignoring those folks--it's nothing but them telling on their own insecurities.

Robert da Spruce

Another thing, comments about you using AI for your summaries says more about the people leaving than they do about you I doubt they have been exceptional at anything in their lives. It’s unfathomable to them that anyone can write anything with such clarity, poignancy, and articulation without somehow cheating Don’t ever dumb yourself down or hide your talents because people out there can’t grasp that someone is more talented than they are

David Trumble

Good for you, Kali. Writing should be for yourself, period.

Terry In the UK

Kali... You and your family come first 100% EVERY SINGLE TIME....there is literally nothing on this earth that is more important than family and that has to be your priority no matter what. We all understand, we all support you in good health and in bad ....and we won't be going absolutely anywhere... we'll all be here when you're ready, so take all the time you need. The last thing we'd want is for you to have a setback and relapse, so just concentrate on getting better ....that is the only item that should be on your agenda until then. I'm so glad that you're little one is on the mend, I can't even begin to imagine how scary the last weekend was for you and your husband, but it's wonderful news that she is much better. Don't even think about sitting down to press record until you've taken all the time necessary.... rest, sleep, relax, have a walk when you're ready too... but dress warmly. Keep hydrated and you'll be yourself in no time 🤞. To be honest, we're so grateful for any content Kali, and the fact that you're able to upload anything this week is miraculous, but please don't ever feel any need to apologise if the schedule is lighter than you would have liked... we're only concerned for you and your family and that you all get better as quickly as possible. On a side note, regarding your post analysis write ups.... I am SO, SO delighted that you have chosen to ignore the idiotic trolls and keep it up. We know that every word comes from the heart, and how much of you and your soul you put into every sentence. We love them, we appreciate them and they make the journey we're taking with you through these TV shows and movies so much more of an experience...and we all thank you for sharing your thoughts and your emotions within each one. They are wonderous and breathtakingly spectacular and it's always a joyous event for us all to read them. I know you wrote that you've never written a book, but .... honestly, perhaps you should consider publishing all the write ups on an annual basis, not only to give you a lasting reminder of everything you experienced through your reactions each year....but as a lasting momento to pass down to your little one and for her to pass down to hers one day. I know 100% that I would buy a copy every year and I'm confident so would everyone else here that adores you like we all do. I repeatedly admit how poorly I'm able to write well, how my vocabulary and literary skills impede my ability to express my thoughts to the level that I would like, and I'll apologise for that again one more time..... hopefully I've been able to come close to how we all feel, how grateful and appreciative we are that you're here doing what you do and please ...never, ever forget how much this incredible community adores you. I'll also apologise for the sheer length of this comment, I promise I never started out with the intention of writing a short novel. God bless you Kali and god bless your family. Wishing you all the speediest of recoveries, we'll all be here when you're ready. Feel better soon.

Jose Morales

Glad you all are getting better. Keep getting that much needed rest. As for your the trolling situation, I read every one of your summaries when watching your reactions. If it's a movie or show I've never watched before, I'll read afterwards to avoid possible spoilers, but always enjoy them. Of the couple of trolls that want to put them down, there are way more that enjoy them. I look forward to many more reactions and the summaries attached to them.

rubberkidney

'sweetie mommy has to go watch cartoons for old men on the internet for a while' shell get it. we good!

Jacob

Get better! Glad you're standing your ground against the people who want to tear you down!

Burak Yağız

Love you Kali I hope you and your family get better as soon as possible🤍

David L

Get better before coming back,Kali! I caught this flu and it's going on 10 days. I'm getting better slowly. But it's rough. As for the trolls to hell with them. They will always be around.

Cameron

Nothing worse than when your child is sick. 😔 Screw the trolls, I'm so tired of miserable people trying to drag everyone down.

Cameron

There's something deeply ironic about the times we are living in. People are so eager to uncover the hidden truth that they no longer believe the simplest things. It's exhausting.

Nomyrose

You and your family's health is far more important than our entertainment, take as much time as you need to get healthy and we will be here when you come back, healthier, stronger and ready to give us those amazing, thoughtful analysis's we love so much. I'm so happy you aren't letting the MINORITY win. Hope you and your family feel better soon and I'm glad your daughter is doing much better.

Kevin G

I have found(with my writings as well), that the more eloquant and expressive the prose. Fluent perceptive, articulate and vivd writings that you grace us with all the time Kali. Seem to have the biggest naysayers, trolls and frankly, jealous individuals who only wish to posess such talent and introspection. Please do not let the negative outweigh the positive of what you bring to us daily. You are a talented writer, no doubt. Embrace it, know it. The negativity has nothing to do with you. The burden is held by the ones who feel the need to lessen you because of their issues. I hope you and your family feel better soon. Hearts and hugs!

McShades

Take the week off and get better... The last thing you want is for the flu to linger because it could hit you in full force again... Just chill and drink lots of water.... Yeah ignore the trolls, I've seen other reactors being trolled by them also about using A.I. Nothing about your comments makes me think your using A.i. Love your organic comments and breakdown of the movies... You and Cassie (PIB) are the highlights after a long week of work...

Chuckles1004

Get the family well. 🙏 When your "baby" is sick...ugh. Heart breaks for the little ones. 💔 That's my worst sound, hearing children in pain or crying. Personally, I love your write-ups. I'm so glad that your community showed you how much they mean to us. We enjoy your write-ups so much. That's your #LoveLanguage. The way you write, it feels so honest, personal, emotional. It's like a part of your soul is in there too. Thank You!! ❤️

Matt Rowland

Disease vectors. We call them disease vectors. 🤣🤣

Lastboyscout73

I'm sorry you and your family are feeling so bad. I had the full blown flu in late January and I can honestly say I have never been that sick my entire life. Normally, I would get sick for 24 hours give or take and be relatively ok. This knocked me down for 3 days straight before they prescribed me Tama-flu (spelling) and luckily that made the symptoms get cut in half in 24 hours. The cough, however lingered for 2 + weeks after the other symptoms finally went away. If you have or had anything that was close to what I had, you have my full a complete sympathy. That new strain of flu virus is nothing to laugh at. I hope you feel better soon and I think if you need a few sick days that you should feel guilt free and take them.

James Park

Hope you all feel better soon and keep writing your summaries we all can see they're written from the heart dont listen to the trolls you're amazing

T-Bone253

You and the family get better. We’ll be waiting until then. And if you find passion and calmness in writing, keep doing it. F*** them haters, respectfully. Keep doing you bud 🤙🏾

Tim C

Please keep the summaries going! Honestly, I'd even prefer if they were longer and more in-depth, but I imagine they're as long as you feel they need to be. The summaries are the first place I look! Usually I agree, and sometimes I don't, but I always find them interesting. I follow several other reaction channels (they're all really good!), but the summaries are a unique, cool bonus I only find here. I'll look forward to reading them for as long as you enjoy writing them!

Paul T

Like you said, you have our full support. Take care of you and your family 1st!!!! We'll be here when you get back to feeling better ☺️ And as far as AI goes, anyone that listens to you before, during and after a movie or show knows you're not using AI for your written comments. Another reason you are #1 on my watch list. Keep going with you! You are awesome at it!!! ❤️☺️👸🤗

mm2270

Take care of yourself and your family Kali! Health and well being (physical AND mental) are priority. We'll be here and will welcome you back once you're able to publish content again. Get well soon!

fireforeffect

Get well soon!!! We will al be here waiting right where you left us :)

Walker

You have to watch Stardust, it’s like if you mixed a Princess Bride with a Knight’s Tale.

Woohah

Xanga...that's a major throwback. I haven't used that since 2008 LOL. Get well soon!

Michael

Get well soon, and I'm glad to hear you're not giving into the few trolls that can't write without AI, and felt the need to pull you down with them. I'm so excited for your anime journey and I'll be here to watch them when you eventually feel well enough to record again. Don't rush it. Take care :)

DorkRunner

I love your summaries, and I'm glad you decided to keep writing them! Unfortunately some people will now always be suspicious of the AI boogeyman any time they read things people have written, especially if its written well; try not to worry about it too much. I'm kind of exactly the same as you--despite not having published anything, I've written my whole life simply because I love to write. I've seen people online who say that anyone who uses em-dashes is for sure just using AI, which sucks because I've used them forever (as seen above). xD

Gary Brown

You MUST put Pluribus on your review list!!!!

Paul Walker

I've literally commented in the past about joining for the reactions and staying for the summaries. I noticed how short your write up on Top Gun Maverick was assumed it was due to being sick. For me it's crazy to pay a subscription price to insult a person with zero basis. There is a beautiful through line you can clearly see in everything you write and it's not some crappy AI generated slop.

Peter Wyatt

That's funny that if your work is well-written, someone will think that AI wrote it. That might even be a compliment. It's like if someone thinks your work is "too good" as that means you "must" have plagiarized it from a top-notch author. Lol.

Marty McGee

Ha Ha! MySpace! Man, I miss MySpace! It was so much cooler than Facebook. Yeah, never let the trolls dictate what you want to do or say. You can't please everyone and in the end what they say says more about them than you. There's nothing wrong with criticism, but whiny, mean comments with no basis-in-fact is not criticism. It's just attention-seeking. Glad you're all beginning to feel better. I either had Covid or the flu in January and it knocked me for a loop and just lingered. Finally feel back to 100% but someone else at work got sick this week, so crossing my fingers it doesn't spread again.

2026-09-07 13:00 is kaliwali still alive?
2026-03-01 22:44

kaliwali

I'm alive :) just ended up super sick the entire week with no real improvement until Friday-ish. And honestly today still recovering from a lingering juicy cough & some nasal stuff. I'll be back to recording this week tho once I'm fully myself 🩷 Definitely the sickest i've been in prob my whole life & the longest sickness by far.

McShades

The Flu is no joke, last time I got hit with it, it took me out for about 2 weeks before I got back to normal... Did you check to make sure it wasn't COVID? it has systems very similar to the Flu.

kaliwali

So it turns out the family friends we hung out with just before we all got sick had twin babies that both tested positive for RSV which given all of our awful symptoms makes total sense now :( I'm planning on hitting record again tomorrow! I'm not 100% and still have a cough that won't quit and some residual congestion.. But if I wait until I'm all better you guys might not get another reaction from me for another week or two at this point ha. So I'll take it slow and ease myself back in.. But yeah, this has been so awful. Pretty sure our first time ever having RSV.

rubberkidney

i was legit getting concerned, full week without update, but it looks like you are alive, thank goodness. serious illness suuuuucks.

McShades

If you need another suggestion for a comedy, I was just remembering a really funny movie I saw a long time ago called "Skin Deep (1989)" with John Ritter.... They have a scene in that movie that made me laugh so hard I couldn't catch my breath...

Walker

I saw John Ritter about a week before he passed at a zoo in the city I lived in ( So Cal). I would loved to have spoken to him but he was with his wife and kid so it wasn’t the time. Sadly he was gone within a week. Lost a great talent and from everything I’ve read a really good man.

Walker

We are all glad you are recovering, hope your family is as well. Take your time and get back to 100%. We will all be waiting. As an unrelated side note I believe your screen name means “Whatever” in Arabic slang, lol I know that wasn’t your original intent but I thought it was an amusing other meaning. Feel better⚕️😷
