Chris Gonzales

Pls everyone vote for the Disney option I need to see this video

Kevin

Cannon films like Death Wish 3?

AndrewB

I need to see her reaction to the Easter play, a Christian murder mystery musical?! That sounds insane

M

i had to google what the cannon movie tales were but now i'm legit interested

elcie!

virtual companion creatures my beloved...

Jason

I’m always here for Disney takes a la Jenny, wouldn’t mind her take of Murder on the Jerusalem Express either

Aurora

I'm enrolling in Jenny University!

ImAPlateOfToast

urban explorers but church on the rock will probably win.

Jenna Stoddard

Murder on the Jerusalem Express sounds so.. timely... 😵‍💫

David A Behlman

The fairy tale ‘division’. Like the 87 Rumpelstiltskin that we all probably rented at some point.

Christopher Bloodworth

Ok, hear me out--we've already gotten a great super long church of the rock vid, and also picking that option limits Jenny to commenting on whatever is in this one play, which is in all likelihood probably fine. She made her video cherrypicking the best of like 8 plays, and I think people who think that option will be fun/funny haven't been forced to sit through many mediocre plays! 😅

Katie Meadows

Obviously it has to be Church of the Rock, it’s an Easter tradition!

Skylin.

I want the 100th FLOPiversary. I left Disney World before they gave out the special name tags with your favorite character on them- AND that supposedly they didn't even let you pick Figment to be on your name tag. The nerve! Okay, the other stuff is pretty interesting too, like the viral dripping ears, and the ugly ugly merchandise and Wish. I know she talked about it on her Twitter but I am a simple man who likes hearing people dunk on/talk about interesting Disney things.

Kevin

Ohhhh…. (Takes away vote)

Cowboy Jaz Luo

Instead of paying to have every streaming service, I wisely use my money to continue throwing my hat in the ring for Jenny's ramble topic poll month-to-month 🙏🏼

Lindsay

Yeah, I don't know if the church plays have enough legs to be a yearly tradition 🤔. Though this year's premise is intriguing.

Joel Eblin

I will never vote for the Folklore option, but if that person wants me to vote for some Taylor Swift themepark option here's my suggestion: just make it a full Disneyland style park that is Taylor Swift themed. I like Taylor Swift and I really like her Folklore album, but I just don't want to listen about that one idea for a full video.

sagaevan

it's jenny university's month!!!!!!!!

JungMoses

When I grow up, I'm going to Bovine University!

Laura Elizabeth

If the Easter Play wins can it be a video just on the play and not the sermon part? I'm not part of that church or agree with their beliefs but something about a commentary done for entertainment over a religious sermon bothered me. And it was really different from the other types of things usually covered (Pop culture/ theme park entertainment and related businesses etc).

Ampersandrew

Multi votes appear to be working again on mobile

Jenny Nicholson

Btw I've requested that patreon add a blind voting feature! That's all I can really do for now since the current features are sort of limited. So if they do implement that I might experiment with it and see if it makes people generally happier with the poll results & reduces multi way ties

Megan Smart

Seasonal decor rating is back ❤️

Amanda Rigsby

No, as a Christian i would say her takedown of his sermon was the most interesting part.

Cowboy Jaz Luo

I feel like Jenny was quite respectful when talking about the sermon. To me, it felt like she analyzed it in an English-teacher way if that makes sense.

Rebecca Cook

It has to be the Easter play I need this 😭

Christopher Sparks

The Folklore Theme Park isn't related to Taylor Swift if I'm remembering correctly, it's essentially a LARP theme park. Also known as Evermore, I believe.

Sheren

pretty sure that’s what it’s suggesting is that it’s about a theme park based on taylor swift.

Joel Eblin

But the submitted topic is a theme park about Folklore specifically. That's a too narrow concept for me to vote for it. If it's like a "Eras-land", a Taylor Swift themepark about her whole career, I thinks that's more enjoyable and I would probably vote for it. Also, I think the topic should just be honest and outright say it's a Taylor Swift topic.

Madhavi Baiju

The urban Explorer video would be so cool

Ransack0894

I think maybe seasonal decor won’t have much of a chance until the October-December months when it’s topical… but I want it to win so bad… oh well, there’s lots of good options this month as usual

Miles Proctor

I’m sure I’m in the minority but I’ll skip any more of the church play videos tbh it’s just a bummer for me as Easter is a season of increased threats of antisemitic violence in my community. I don’t want to take away from other people’s enjoyment from it if it wins it wins, I just don’t personally want more of it.

Dan Gibbins

Look I want to hear Jenny's thoughts on Disney's centennial, but I'm trying not to vote for multiple topics in a tight race with each other, and my heart chooses "Are they crucifying Poirot? Is Poirot solving the murder of Jesus? What even IS this one?"

Trystan

I'm just voting on the topics with the fewest votes. The popular ones all feel either gimmicky or self-referential ('DAE remember when Jenny did the church plays video?!').

Stephen M.A.

My first vote ever and I gotta tell you I'm still not convinced Trump won't find a way to win.

CapnFluffles

Yeah I was super excited thinking it was Cannon action films

Kevin

Yeah, I’d be all in on Jenny giving a breakdown of the complete Missing in Action trilogy

Olivia Rollins

That topic is the first poll option and it's doing pretty well!

poppys daddi

here’s an idea: you can just skip the sermon part.

Jade Wedge

i hope FLOPiversary comes back around next month because i really wanna see that video but i can't NOT vote for an easter play update

Ted Koutz

I'm just learning some of this but Cannon Films, who I know as the producers of a bunch of cheesy movies in the 80's (Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, Masters of the Universe, etc.) apparently made a bunch of kids' movies based on public domain IPs

Laura Elizabeth

I understand that, but usually there's some kind of specific knowledge or experience with the topic when an English teacher reviews writing, or when Jenny covers things- they're relevant to her interests and she has insights to draw from for things like theme parks, stories, and the many things she has an interest in and experience analyzing. I feel like the church play is the part that works to her strengths and insights- shes reviewed musicals and stories before with fantastic results!

Brandon Michel

I think I know which one is going to win

Laura Elizabeth

Really curious about the Disney100, it seems like every other anniversary was sooo much better. Like tv specials with the Golden Girls and elaborate parades with music stars haha.

Francesca White

As a swiftie I really love the folklore one but realistically know it probably won't win 😭😭😭😭

Ham

Good point.

Erich

JENNY UNIVERSITY 'TILL I DIE!

Emma H

I was on the fence about voting for it since I feel like it might get old at this point. Your comment tipped me over. I've only recently started learning about how some Christian parts of culture are far less neutral to people of non-christian backgrounds than they are to me as a raised-christian atheist. I'm grateful to you for sharing

Dre

Voting for the twist video, and the Disney flop video. Both concepts sound like Jenny would have some amusingly snarky things to say.

Miles Proctor

I appreciate the comment! It’s hard to see your blind spots if you don’t know where to look, and again I can manage what I watch myself if there are content warnings I totally don’t have a problem with people celebrating Easter or watching the plays or anything. I don’t want to be a mood killer but I still wanted mention that some people have a bad experience with it as it’s a high security season but obviously ’two Jews, three opinions’ always applies and my community is still recovering from an arson late last year so I’m probably a little more strung out than normal.

Benjamin A.

I really don’t think the Easter video would be appropriate at this time.

Benjamin A.

Yeah… pretty poor taste IMO

BROGGGGGY

theres only one i need to vote for this month ⛪️🎤🐣🎶

Mitchell Herring

Voting for Jenny University in time for graduation season. Need the founding inaugural address.

Ethan Z

i want whoever sends in Jenny University and Seasonal Decor every month to know that I see you. I see you.

Ransack0894

I like that being able to see vote totals lets me be tactical (in a fair play way; I finalize my vote within a few days of the poll being posted). I voted for Disney's 100th FLOPiversary because it's the runner up to another Easter play video and I have a moderately strong preference for the Disney topic over the Easter topic, even though the Disney topic wasn't on my personal short list of especially fun topics this month. Patreon should implement ranked choice voting, to make those tactics unnecessary! The exact technical details of ranked choice are a little too complicated to explain in a comment, but basically you vote by making an ordered list with the stuff you like most at the top (and you don't have to include every option in your list if you don't want to sort them all). It makes it less likely that there will be an option that (as a made up example) 40% of people want, but 60% of people dislike, but which wins because the 60% of people who dislike it can't unify around a different choice. Anyway I'm passionate about ranked choice but actually not that passionate about the poll options. I'm fine with whatever Jenny decides to use. I feel like we get a pretty good variety of genres of ramble and I mostly follow Jenny for her sense of humor + style of video and not any particular topic, so it's okay if my vote is a little less efficient each month. Hopefully she'll be able to figure out something that works well for her and the community.

Sawyer K

Many people in the comments making valid points against the toxicity of evangelical christianity but I would contend Disney is similarly mostly evil? I trust Jenny to bring thoughtful, critical coverage to both these dubious institutions in her signature hard hitting journalistic style. Also idk what Jenny University means and at this point I'm scared to ask

Gary

Why is that?

Adventuress

I'm just going to keep on rolling for seasonal home decor - I feel like it could be so entertaining based on the Hallmark takedown!

Gary

Religion needs to be called out for it's ridiculousness at every opportunity. People have the right to believe whatever rubbish they like..they don't have the right to expect others to take it seriously.

Olivia Rollins

I'm confused by those comments because it's not like making fun of these ridiculous church plays is a celebration of evangelical Christianity or Easter by any means.

Vanessa S.

shout out to the person who always submit the hannibal topic. i vote for it every time. we’ll get there someday

Benjamin A.

The name of the production gives me the ick.

Cowboy Jaz Luo

Regarding Jenny University, Jenny said: "I assume it's like those posts on Old Tumblr where people would be like 'tumblr should be a school! the professors will be Doctor Who or something embarrassing and we'll take classes in shipping fanfic and how to crochet frogs' So that but for my interests" Source: Comment section of March 2022 poll

Olivia Rollins

I mean the title is sort of unfortunate if you're thinking about it in the context of current events, but I assume our dear friends at Church of the Rock (who are always behind the times and rarely tactful or graceful in their playwriting decisions) just titled it that because they wanted to do an Agatha Christie play, and "Jerusalem" is more relevant to the Easter story than "Orient"—I doubt there's anything more behind it than that, though I suppose I could be wrong.

Ted Trainor

Plot Twists, Favorite Artists; Dinner With Family; Inside the YT'ers studio. I figure the Easter Play will take care of itself, besides it looks like a "Murder on the Orient Express" pastiche which can't be as batshit insane as a "Toy Story" Easter Pageant.

Kenna Bradford

I will diligently vote for the seasonal decor every month, even if it never gets picked

Sabrina de la Garza

March 2022! Wow, Jenny U has been going strong for two whole years. It’s gotta win someday, right????

Laura Elizabeth

Gary you and everyone else are free to feel that way, but Jenny's work has never been about hatred or going after people for their beliefs. She calls out companies for mistreating employees, bad business practices, and bad writing or art and in an entertaining, but wholesome way. She creates work based on her passions and what she loves. Even the people and groups she disagrees with she usually handles in a fairly respectful way. She calls out Disney and others because she wishes they did better, because she's a fan. Not just to tear down. There are plenty of other creators who are focused on going after religion- I just don't think it fits for Jenny to be one of them. <3

Kinetics Video

Jenny the last investigative journalist. I wish this was a joke

Benjamin A.

Obviously, but their timing couldn’t be worse. It’s bad taste.

Jesse Walker-McGraw

Guys, it's been far too long since we had a theme park focused ramble. The Easter Play topic is great too, but that's definitely gonna win another month! Focus on theme park stuff (or urban exploring, that sounds amazing!) But honestly all of these sound great

Gary

Calling out organisations who peddle superstition to finance performance auditoriums rather than good works for the underprivileged and needy is just as praiseworthy as calling out employee mistreatment and bad business practices. I am not suggesting that Jenny would or should call anyone out for anything. I am simply pointing out that hypocrisy in any form deserves to be brought into the light. Calling out hypocrisy is not a form of hatred...it is a duty of all decent people.

Cowboy Jaz Luo

Kudos to the person submitting the taylor swift topic for mixing it up this month. One day 😂😂💛

Sarah G

Hasn’t it only been a couple topics since the last Disney one?

Connor B

I want both the Disney and Easter Play video so badly

Cowboy Jaz Luo

If only the Easter play theme this year was based off Disney's 100th anniversary film Wish 🌠

sam

I’m begging y’all to rally behind Flopiversary I’ve been tormented by it for all of 2023 and beyond

Ava Salazar

Flopiversarry is a genius idea 😭🙏

Lambda34Delta

I do not want to go hard against any particular topic or to be mean to anyone who suggested it or wants it, but much as I enjoyed the church play video and had fun watching the Beauty and the Beast one last year, I currently am just.... deeply not in the mood for anything related to Christianity, Christians, Christian churches with questionable politics, anything to that vein. Just kind of a sore point for me in the current state of the world and would be more of a bummer than it would be funny. And also I just really missed hearing Jenny apply her script doctor/story analysis skills and I still remember her talking about Wish in the Patreon-exclusive D23 video, back when it was just showing the concept art and broadly talking about the premise and such, and I'm interesting in seeing some kind of follow up to that and what she thought about the actual film. (I realized after going through some of the comments that the topic is not necessarily the movie Wish specifically but how Disney's 100 year anniversary in general was a flop lol but I figured the movie was included as part of the topic)

Lambda34Delta

This is also why I'd rather not have the Church play one, I thought the previous videos about it were light hearted enough to be enjoyable and I liked them, and she generally talks about it in a way that doesn't bring up the painful stuff about Christianity or remind me of all the ugly realities of what Easter or the story behind it means for us and has meant for us for the past millennia, and she presented the topic with enough distance that I could just engage with it as just a weird novelty she was fascinated with and enjoyed discussing. But I don't know if I will ever be able to engage with that topic in such a way again, given the sheer extreme state of antisemitism around the world right now. Even the most lighthearted poking fun of this dumb church can no longer feel lighthearted to me because the violence this and other churches inspire and encourage, that is currently at an all time high, would be the only thing on my mind at all times. Obvs, worst case scenario is that if that's what wins and what she chooses to make, I just won't watch it, which you know, that's fine, i can skip one vide, I'm sure it'll be good and many other people will watch and enjoy it and won't feel that burden, and I'll feel both happy for and jealous of them that they can afford that. But if possible I would prefer to avoid it in the first place.

Soup j

I do not want to sound like a hater but it is sorta odd to me the way people keep submitting the same unpopular topics over and over, and also some of which would be kind of a larger time commitment, I don't really think "excruciating deep dive" is the vibe for a ramble neither is the commitment of watching an entire show if she has not seen it. the point is that they are more fun and casual

Pandion96

As a Christian myself, I do have to say that I do not really like the chuch play videos, as it feels like, people take it as an excuse to make fun about christians in a negative way. Yeah, the video was all in good fun, but I still felt not that good to be honest. I like Jennys other videos as described by you also way more :)

Cowboy Jaz Luo

When Jenny asks for poll submissions, she does make it clear that if you propose a topic about a TV or movie series she hasn't seen, you have to accept the fact that she might just make the executive decision to leave it off the poll entirely. So I do believe anything that ends up on the poll is fair game, though I do also understand the sentiment of wanting to come up with simpler concepts so as not to put as much work on her.

Ransack0894

Some topics and/or viewpoints about certain topics are so sensitive that it's just not pleasant to engage with those ideas, even if it's in a context that's supposed to mock viewpoints you disagree with. Everyone draws that line in different places. I wasn't bothered by the previous Church of the Rock videos, but I would choose to skip a video with tons of clips of a Christian play celebrating traditional gender roles and housewives no matter how funny Jenny's commentary was - it would only upset me.

Ann Parker

I also would prefer that the Church Play vids not become an annual tradition; I love the original vid but we got that and one bonus already, and it doesn't feel like there'd be enough legs to the humor/curiosity of it to cover everything they do every time. Plus that just means there's 1/12th less variety in what type of rambles we get. Don't want to cast a damper since from the votes it seems like a lot of patrons are on board, but just since a couple other people have had similar comments that's my two cents

emast

the urban explorer videos would be amazing

Andrew Musco-Jones

I know there’s a lot of “hate” in the comments for the Easter play (not really, everyone is being super respectful and voicing their opinions in a very nice way) but I must, must, MUST see how the church makes an Easter play out of one of my favorite whodunnits. What a bizarre choice years past its relevancy.

PrimevalPaints

I’m a new Patreon patron- are we able request videos? If so, as someone also going through a Pokémon nostalgia trip, I’d love Jenny to watch her favorite anime episodes and give her thoughts!

Ransack0894

Someone at the church must really love the Kenneth Branagh Poirot movies. I know the Orient Express one was in 2017 and two more have come out since then, but I can kinda get why they picked it anyway… Orient Express is the most famous title and I’m sure the easiest to adapt as a play

Ransack0894

That’s just for the Pardners tier ($25/month) - their suggestions are “collected via group message anytime after the 7th of the month”, so if you just joined that tier you’ll get a chance after April 7

Andrew Musco-Jones

True! And to be fair, there is a lot of “Poirot as Jesus” imagery in the Branagh film. Flopiversary is close on its heels though and I can’t say I’ll be disappointed if that one wins haha

Hannah Anthonia

Aaaaa, I wish we could get a reactions and predictions for How To Train Your Dragon land Isle of Berk because it looks sick but also how achievable is it and how do roving dragons work? I must know how people in dragon costumes survive in the heat because it looks crazy intense and not like something they can use robots for given their encouraging guests to touch the dragons

Miles Proctor

I love Agatha Christie and I don't want to be the mean old jew ruining peoples fun, but their intent is less of an issue than the implications here. Making fun of them is still giving them a platform and they make a huge amount of money from it and I can't see anywhere that impllies they're donating it to aid for Gaza. Easter has a history of several hundred years of antisemitism behind it, assaults on Jewish organisations rise at that time every year, my shul calls it bomb threat week. That's why some people are uncomfortable.

Miles Proctor

It was both so much and nothing at all it lives in my brain rent free.

Olivia Rollins

I totally understand why some people wouldn't want to engage with Easter-related content for those reasons (though of course we could go down many rabbit holes about all the complicated ways in which Jenny's content about various topics might have the consequence of platforming and funding things that are bad). What I was engaging with in my comment was the argument that it would be inappropriate for Jenny to do a ramble about this play because of its title, which I don't think is really reasonable or compelling.

Yara Tovar

Animal crossing and the virtual companions is a video that I need

Finnder

They literally addressed why they can't have the chat active before the play. Not that I was gonna chat, but I was kind of shocked when they were like "there's so many of you, our chat won't be live."

AndrewB

So not only was it a Christian murder mystery musical, it was also set in the 70s and had disco themes, I NEED Jenny to review this sorry Disney people

Petie

I'm cisgender and hetero, but I feel you. If the church play winds up being the winning topic and it's not your bag, hopefully we'll have some more bonus vids soon. I honestly don't care for the plays as much either, even though I used to be on the video and skit teams for my church. For me the vids make me sad I don't do that stuff any more (not for the trad roles thing, but mostly because I like making things that get people to laugh. We had a gay pastor who I really miss.)

Giulia Villa

Jenny herself tweeted that this year's play sucked, and not in a fun way, so I really really hope some other topic wins.

Andrew Musco-Jones

Aww thanks for sharing (not on twitter) so I changed my vote. Don’t want her to do something that won’t be fun

Olivia Rollins

Counterpoint: she also tweeted that if the play topic won in the poll she would include an outline of her vision for an Avatar-themed Easter play.

Steve Ray

??? Hey. Jesus had *one* job, so there's no way it can be poor taste to watch Him do His *one* job in new and creative ways.

Giulia Villa

Lol, true, but I had to sit through Mass so many times as a child that now I can't consume anything related to Christianism without getting debilitating boredom flashbacks.

Steve Ray

The knee-jerk belief that anything religious will be ridiculous is a hateful superstition in and of itself, Gary, so as a decent person, I must do my duty and call you out. #MoteBeamAndMatch

Skylin.

I agree!!!

Skylin.

Come on flopiversary!!!

JoeBee

we're all voting for the flopiversary right? right?

SuperDuperSnep

for fellow iPhone users, it's easier to open Patreon in Safari instead of trying to get the app to work

octopus for good

I think there’s a definite personality/culture clash between the, “cannot say no” person who always makes reasonable requests, and the self-assured, “don’t ask, don’t get” person who asks for whatever they want going on here. In my experience Jenny seems to have a pretty healthy outlook on what she considers a reasonable patron request, though.

octopus for good

I think it’s from the, “this topic is so traumatic, I don’t even want to be reminded it exists in my entertainment” school of thought.

Ava Salazar

Hopefully floppiversary didn't win to late to be made bc its a great idea

Cowboy Jaz Luo

Not sure if this will quite satisfy what you're looking for but the podcast For Your Amusement did a great episode covering everything we know about Epic Universe so far! I found it insightful and enjoyable! ☺️

Skylin.

I hope it was flopiversary it really was anyones game tho

Skylin.

Lol jenny saud it was bad tho

Janna Jackson Gorog

Really hoping that church of the rock 2024 gets covered because I forgot to watch it while it

Lolo Lucy

What day/time did the vote close?

Sheren

i think jenny gets that its taylor as a whole and not just folklore and they called it that as a play off of evermore, bc its funny. if they call it a taylor swift topic it'll probably get even less votes.

Cowboy Jaz Luo

She doesn't usually disclose a vote close date/time

Lolo Lucy

Okay, thank you!

Magical Girl Mel

So glad that flopiversary came from behind. If church of the rock's showing this year was weak I would much rather have that.

Casey May

I know it’s not popular but I’m dying to know her favorite music artists

Alive_in_tucson

Any chance Jenny could revisit The Last Jedi? I love TLJ and very few people do. Would I be the only person to watch it?

Doctor Starky

I feel like the commenters here watched a different video than I did. The sermon was just a bunch of rambling anecdotes mashed together. She was critiquing it as a speech, not for its religious content.

Devin M

I somehow managed to miss this poll! First time that’s ever happened :( I don’t know what was ahead when she picked, but I hope it’s Flopiversary

ts_babyjane

lol same ive voted for it everytime for years at this point! i think it would be so surprising and interesting because she was a singer, her sisters an internet music nerd, and we only get tiny glimpses of jennys music taste. lol we need to run a voting campaign or something

run_away

I hope the disney one takes it. Of course whatever's most popular should win, and all of them are fun options, but man could I use a video that doesn't have massive amounts of second-hand embarrassment. Videos like the pokemon one, church of the rock, some of the evermore content, even some of the more awkward star wars hotel stuff just have a lot of... cringe, I guess? I kind of hate that word, but I think that's it. I actually found it kind of painful to wade through the pokemon video until it was talking about props and not showing clips from the show. And I don't find those videos rewatchable at all (other than the original evermore video, I just scrub through certain parts). Idk. That's probably just a me thing, other people seem to be totally into it, I just can't handle that stuff very well. Reminds me of being mocked or doing horrifically embarrassing stuff myself in public and then wanting to die of shame later, and I tend to end up reflecting more on my own failings more than enjoying the video. Sorry for the long rant, I don't feel as strongly about this as the word count would suggest lol.

run_away

Don't want to disagree or anything, but I think I'd rather her be focusing fire on the star wars hotel video and kind of back-burner these items. so long as they still maintain monthly status, even if it's the end of the month. Obviously not too much because, yeah, of course, people are paying for this and it's good to meet deadlines. But, she's been awesome about releasing star wars hotel previews lately, so just personally I'm cool with that as supplementary content throughout the early/mid parts of the month. Not to downplay your concerns though, at all. Just an opinion.

run_away

Hi friend, I have ADHD rather than OCD (completely positive about that, was married to someone with OCD for 10+ years, I basically have the opposite personality issues) and yep : ) No exaggeratiom to say I've been in therapy longer than some patrons here have been alive, and my life is in a stable place. But also, the way I process cringe is way less unusual than you might think. Secondhand embarrassment tends to be something that people react to strongly, either by enjoying it because watching it helps create a feeling of being definitely on the other side of it and thus secure in the feeling of not being embarrassed, or in the way I do by empathizing too heavily with the embarrassed person and sort of feeling their pain too intensely. Also some PTSD or CPTSD stuff that can be related, won't go into it but it's relevant for me. I guess I could compare it to horror? Some people, me included, can watch a horror film and be mentally separated enough to enjoy it. Or even end up with a sense of greater safety afterwards. But some people are unable to mentally separate and can't handle the sight and sound of victims being terrorized. It's something that comes from a blend of psychological makeup and life experience, basically. Humiliation, laughter, fear... These wires get crossed pretty easily.

Actually I would watch that! I’ve recently been revisiting TLJ. It’s not very high on my list as far as Star Wars movie rankings go… but there’s a few things I like about it. Mostly, I’ve noticed it doesn’t hold up for multiple rewatches for a lot of people, so I wonder if Jenny’s opinion has changed or not? Anyways… I like hearing opinions that differ from mine cuz when it comes to Star Wars cuz it’s easy to become too opinionated 😆 Honestly I don’t blame her if she doesn’t want to touch it with a ten foot pole though 😂

New here…. So this March poll is voting for the April ramble essentially? Just still figuring out how this works, thanks 😄

The idea is the poll and the ramble come out the same month, but it seems due to factors perhaps related to her main channel project(s) and her personal life, Jenny has been falling a little behind schedule the past few months with the patreon vids! I wouldn't worry about it too much - seems like she's got a lot going on and still cares greatly about making sure patrons get the content they pay for so I'm sure it'll all even out eventually. The rambles do seem to have become higher-effort in the past couple years, so I bet they're taking longer to get out than when they were originally conceived.
