today we're watching a more recent movie that was a request on Reactr - thank you so much to Brian for the request! here is 'The Life of Chuck'.

unfortunately, there was a bit of an audio issue with this recording (the same thing that's happened twice in the past, now 🙃) I think the best way to watch will be to mute your copy and just have the movie audio coming from my recording to assist. as long as they're synced up it should work ok.

I had read the short story, so I knew where this was headed - but I think I liked this movie more.

Thank you for watching this movie.

Haven’t read the book, and was very confused at first. Loved how it all came together at the end, and the message it has about how to live life its fullest.

Thanks to Camilla for reacting to "The Life of Chuck" and to Brian for suggesting this movie. I'd never heard of "The Life of Chuck" movie nor the Stephen King novella on which it was based. I am familiar with Mike Flanagan's work and this was a departure from some of his popular series. It was fun seeing Flanagan's "Midnight Mass" alums, Kate Siegel (Mrs. Mike Flanagan), Rahul Kohli, and Samantha Sloyan (as young Chuck's teacher and dance instructor). I recognized Samantha Sloyan when she was a guest star on HBO's "The Pitt". Not having read the novella, I interpreted 'Act 3' as the world disintegrating from Chuck's deteriorating point of view, and maybe not literally the end of the world. Those people in 'Act 3' were the ones who made an impact or at least an impression near the end of his days. The Thor trailer playing on IMDb when Camilla looked up the cast was not a glitch. Tom Hiddleston, of course, has long played Marvel's Loki to Chris Hemsworth's Thor. When Mark Hamill reprised his role as Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens", he was close to the same age as Sir Alec Guinness when "Star Wars" (later re-titled "A New Hope") was filmed, so it seemed fitting that he played his older Jedi character.

Seems like you are only the second person to react to this movie. So thank you and the person who requested it! Since you are not familiar with Mike Flanagan's work, I really recommend you check out more of his stuff. It is amazing. Particularly The Haunting of Hill House. It's an absolute masterpiece in storytelling and cinematography. You will love it, even if you're not into horror -which I don't recall if you are. The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass and The Fall of the House of Usher are quite good, too. He often works with the same actors, so you will recognize a couple of faces.
