We'll delay the January poll until I'm back in CA next week, but that doesn't mean we can't discuss the options below!!

We will poll the next TV show for February (WandaVision this month!)

For movies we have some leftovers from last month -- we can also throw out some ideas for new franchises ie. We've chatted in the past about the Blade Trilogy, Beverly Hills Cop. Watching things that connect has been my favorite part of the channel.

Finally, I think the consensus is we don't like the TV show edited into my reaction (the way we did The Guardians Holiday special) but prefer the sync along option! I may provide both for a moment and see which does better :)

Happy New Year!

:)

Aww yeah! Beverly Hills Cop any where; any time!

Happy New Year! A good TV show to start the year with, besides the Marvel Shows, would be Ted Lasso. A feel good start in the new year.

I guess with the sync along you can control picture size and audio levels, so I get it, but unless it's quiet as hell or at 100 db, I'd rather save the step and let the reactor do it for me. For a movie franchise, the Man with No Name trilogy might be novel: "Fistful of Dollars," "For a Few Dollars More," and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."

TV show ideas: Firefly (only 1 season, followed by a movie, so this is a good choice with low commitment) Ted Lasso Cobra Kai (there are 6 seasons, but the last season isn't all that good in my opinion; you would also need to watch the Karate Kid movies starring Ralph Macchio before starting this series so it may not be a good choice for your channel yet) Falcon and the Winter Soldier (it's the very next MCU property, even before any other movies, after WandaVision; only 6 episodes) Will let you know if I think of anything else to suggest :)

The Dingo

A bonus idea: Dr Horrible's Sing-along Blog. Hilarious web series that was put out during the writer's strike in like 2009 time frame (don't remember the exact year). It was written by the same man who Wrote/Directed Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ulton, as well as Firefly mentioned above, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer from the 90's.

I would love for you the finish the American Pie movies: American Wedding and American Reunion. The stories follow the original cast and while raunchy (as before) often does have some heart (as before). Maybe do a polls based on Directors, like Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind), Francis Ford Coppola (The Outsiders) or David Fincher (Panic Room)

this is helpful. If I can get a bunch of people on the $6 tier the extra labor will be worth it and I can make two cuts. I will be a self-promotion machine this year 😂

The Blade trilogy is fun. The first could be argued that it's the start of the Marvel movies. Two is great because you get Guillermo Del Toro at work. Three has Ryan Renolds. If you're interested in connected movies there is the M. Night Shyamalan trilogy Unbreakable, Split and Glass which have some splendid moments in them. Don't do too much reading on them as you don't want spoilers. I also think the Knives Out series would be of interest to you, classic murder mystery movies with all star casts and Daniel Craig having lots of fun away from his James Bold role. Knives Out, Glass Onion and a 3rd is about to launch on Netflix soon. They are written my Rian Johnson (also did Star Wars episode 8 and TV Poker Face with Natasha Lyonne). The Spike Lee universe could be interesting. Inside Man, Blackkklansman, Oldboy, 25th Hour. And my patriotic Britishness insists I suggest the James Bond series... but the truth is the old films don't hold up well. The more recent Daniel Craig ones are good. Sean Connery was iconic in that role but it was a different time (hangs head in post-colonial shame).

Thats fine shanelle. Other franchise movies for your consideration: "night at the museum", "lethal weapon", "ghostbusters", "critters", "dirty Harry", "scream", "scary movie" and if you decided to start watching animated films then the best animated franchise in my opinion is "toy story" because you can't beat a bit of sheriff woody, buzz lightyear and the gang.

I mean, it also has the added benefit of letting you pause and comment, assuming you're just doing it with OBS or something. I remember in the beginning you had to steer away from that to make syncing easier (obviously this means sync alongs would be more of a pain to edit *shrug emoji*).

For TV show, I think Arcane would be a great choice. Amazing visuals, music, performances. A bit different for your channel, but great quality.

I'm going to throw out a suggestion that probably not get any traction at all: Jet Li's Once Upon a Time in China Trilogy. This is some of the best work of his career & director Tsui Hark's too. The first two films also feature the legendary Yuen Woo-Ping as action director. I'd rather not elaborate too much on the story in the faintest of hope that you ever see them. I think these films would be a great introduction into the larger world of classic Hong Kong Cinema. There's actually six total films but the original trilogy are the essential entries & frequently bundled together discarding the final three.

I think it's time for another Paul Thomas Anderson film and another movie with Daniel Day-Lewis in it, so that means There Will Be Blood.

One of the TV shows you already mentioned, Chernobyl, would love your insight on it, I think it does tension so well and there must some reasons why. Another show might be Watchmen, you get more out of it if you know the comic, less so the Snyder movie. Other shows I suggest are long, Breaking Bad and Deadwood, I'm fine if you want only miniseries. Over the Garden Wall is a great animated one for something lighter. I'm always happy to see more Coens, continue that streak plz :) But I would suggest more Wachowskis, Cloud Atlas is a personal favorite of mine. Why not George Miller, from Babe to Furiosa he has quite a mix of genres even, but most famously the Mad Maxes, I've yet to catch up with part 2-3.

SnakeandNape

Training Day, We Were Soldiers, Under Siege, Flight, Perfect Storm, Blues Brothers, Duel, Smokey and the Bandit, more Adam Sandler.

Agents Of SHIELD ties in nicely to the Marvel films

Gaz Eddy

I know you mentioned you would probably just watch this on your own duirng a live but I think you absolutely NEED to watch The Sopranos on the channel. Without giving anything away this show heavily influenced the tv landscape post 2000s.

My TV recommendations, broken down by general popularity... Popular Arcane Cowboy Bebop The Expanse Severance - very popular right now due to pending second season The Last of Us Not as popular but great Mr. Robot - amazing everything Utopia (UK version) - amazing cinematography Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - best version of GitS Venture Bros - amazing writing Danger 5 Slow Horses Movies Once Upon a Time in the West - so sad this didn't come up when watching westerns Dredd The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzaii Across the 8th Dimension Alita Battle Angel

Rob B

I definitely prefer the ease of having it combined, but understand the time cost concern. I also agree with the "Man with No Name" trilogy, followed by Once Upon a Time in the West. I was disappointed when none of these movies showed up during the Western kick.

I'll def put Chernobyl on the poll! Seems like the one the people are most into! I'm currently looking into all suggestions and crafting my poll so thanks for helping! :)
