Hey guys! here is the YT edit for "Bringing Up Baby" which will premiere shortly!

Gray

Fun film to discover on the channel, Katherine Hepburns machine gun like dialogue couldn't have been easy to edit around 😀

MikeLL

I love how Grant is playing straight man for Hepburn during parts of this wonderful comedy.

Michael West

Now that you've added Cary Grant to your leading man list, you really need to watch "Charade" 1963 with Audrey Hepburn. I think you will love it.

Michael Lewis

Tony Curtis' imitation of Cary Grant in "Some Like It Hot" was based on Grant's character in this movie, including the round glasses. Also, the Barbra Streisand movie "What's Up, Doc" was a remake based on "Bringing Up Baby."

Clay F

Cary Grant was never comfortable on set with the wild cat. From day one he kept his distance: "I make an effort to get along with all of my co-stars, the director, everyone on the set, but I did not wish to establish a relationship with baby." Katharine Hepburn apparently enjoyed tormenting Grant: "Cary had always refused to work with the leopard. Didn't care for it at all. Once, to torture him, we dropped a stuffed leopard through the vent at the top of his dressing room. Wow! He was out of there like lightning." The leopard (an Indian leopard) was an eight-year-old female named Nissa, and was apparently declawed. The trainer Olga Celeste stood off-screen with a whip for all of Nissa’s scenes. Olga was an early Hollywood animal trainer. Olga was born in Sweden in the late 1880s and began working with animals at the age of 11. By 1938, she had taken her talent all the way to Burbank, California where she held court as the only female leopard trainer in the world. Part of the Vaudeville circuit, she was also an actress and stunt double but her true passion was leopards.

Jeff Rogers

I hope that someday you will watch On Golden Pond with Katherine Hepburn and Henry Fonda... at the end of their careers.. Henry Fonda got the academy award for best actor, and she won best actress.

Phil Stubblefield

Yes, which is exactly why we need a Cassie rewatch/Carly first-time watch of What's Up, Doc? (1972)! My monthly Pick-a-Flick has now changed from Bringing Up Baby to What's Up, Doc? 😁

Carol Rocha

That was the best movie I’ve seen in a while!! Loved watching you have such a great time with it too. Can’t believe I have missed this all these years. ☺️❤️

Just Plain Bob

Cassie, Katharine Hepburn was in “The African Queen”, not “Queen of Africa.” Shame on you! Her co-star, who won an Academy Award for his performance, was the legendary Humphrey Bogart. Bogie (as he was affectionately called) was best known for his gangster and private eye roles, particularly “The Maltese Falcon” and “The Big Sleep” (my personal favorite). And, of course, you saw him in “Casablanca” as Rick. As for Cary Grant, he was the second best actor to ever work with Alfred Hitchcock, behind only Jimmy Stewart. Other must-see Hitchcock films starring Grant are “Suspicion”, “Notorious” (co-starring Ingrid Bergman, Rick’s love interest in “Casablanca”) and “To Catch A Thief” (opposite the luminous Grace Kelly). And, of course, he also teamed with Katharine Hepburn again (as well as Jimmy Stewart) in “The Philadelphia Story”, an absolute must-see.

TheSingulatarian

Grant was a versatile actor who could play a variety of parts from action to comedy. "Gunga Din" (1939). Based upon the poem by Rudyard Kipling is one of his more action-oriented parts. A bit racist by modern standards with a white actor playing Gunga Din it is still a good film if you can look past that part. Some of "Indiana Jones " was inspired by "Gunga Din"

Collar City Guy

Cassie every classic movie you have watched you/we have enjoyed, so pls keep them coming!

Ronnie

I enjoy your reaction alot. Suggestion for a C. Grant movie would be The Front page. You will love the quick banter between the two leads.

Mark Deadman

I love that you've finally watched this one. It's one of my absolute favourites.

thebeefmaster

Actually, I believe it is "His Girl Friday" (1940) that you are thinking of, which is a remake of "The Front Page" (1931). And yes, "His Girl Friday" (1940) is top tier cinema.

thebeefmaster

So, did Cassie watch "What's Up, Doc?" off channel? I can't find it on her YouTube or her Patreon.

thebeefmaster

"What's Up, Doc?" is not a remake, but it was inspired by and meant to pay homage to "Bringing Up Baby", specifically, and the "screwball" comedy movies that ruled the box-office back in the thirties and forties, in general. The film ended up being the second-biggest hit of the year, after The Godfather.

Richard Maurer

Cassie - since you asked if baby was a cheetah or a leopard, the easiest way to tell the difference between the spot patterns on a cheetah, leopard, and jaguar - cheetah’s have black spots, leopards have rosettes (a roughly rose-shaped circular pattern) with no markings in the center, a jaguar has rosettes with a spot, or spots, in the center. They can be told apart by body shape too. Cheetah’s are very lean with very long legs, leopards and jaguars are harder to tell to apart, but jaguars are bigger built, and much stronger than, leopards, with a bigger, more powerful skull, that gives them them most powerful bite force of any cat, even the much larger tigers and lions.

Richard Maurer

Will we be getting a YouTube edit for The Ghost and Mrs. Muir? If not I’ll probably watch the full reaction.

Richard Maurer

I hate to hear that that poor leopard was declawed. Declawing a cat is like removing their fingers. I think it might have been defanged too, considering the way it was mouthing the dog (George).

Chris Thom

What a charming onscreen pair. Hadn't seen this before, but now I want to watch the Philadelphia Story. I've always associated Hepburn with On Golden Pond so it's a trip to see her so young and vibrant.

Chris Thom

Did his daughter get nominated?

Jeff Rogers

Nominated for best supporting actress, didn't win. But that scene with the two of them...

Chris Thom

Fun song. Uber catchy.

Clarence Newman

Apparently not. I asked the other day and the answer was "Bringing Up baby", yes, "Ghost & Mrs Muir", no.

Clay F

+1 for The Philadelphia Story. Added bonus is has Jimmy Stewart. Charismatic trio.

Clay F

+1 for "His Girl Friday" (1940)

Catherine LW

It was said that at his height, every script in Hollywood was sent to him except sci-fi and westerns, lol.

Catherine LW

Ah, but Hitch loved Grant the most. “Cary is the only actor I have ever loved”.

Richard Maurer

Thanks, Clarence. I guess I’ll watch the full reaction, if I get the time.

Chris Thom

He was definitely obsessed with Grace Kelly. But he was possessive as hell with the women. Not sure how much that qualifies as love or not.

Chris Thom

Yeah that scene always gets included in various retrospective docs.

Chris Thom

Weird fun fact, but he was one of the first Americans to try LSD. His psychoanalyst gave it to him.

Joe J

"Bringing Up Baby" will die a quick death on YT. Surprised she bothered with an edit. Newer films are struggling also. If 50-70k is the new normal anyway, if Baby gets 30k who really cares. Maybe we could get a "Films that will Die on YT" poll.😆

Joe J

"Lions and Tigers, oh my". Will she ever watch Predator 2.....sigh.😢

Joe J

Cassie, can we get a 1960's poll? Here's a few memorable films, some are bona-fide classics. And as a bonus, most are in color (haha). Village of the Damned (1960) The Time Machine (1960) The Hustler (1961) Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) A Hard Day’s Night (1964) A Shot in the Dark (1964) Doctor Zhivago (1965) The Graduate (1967) The Dirty Dozen (1967) Cool Hand Luke (1967) Bonnie & Clyde (1967) Bullitt (1968) 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Bradley Weston

Perhaps I missed something. Will a Patreon version of this be released?

Joe J

If you mean the full movie watch-a-long, she posted that here on July 22. You have to provide your own copy of the movie for all watch-a-longs.

Clarence Newman

3 of those are NOT on my list. I don't want to exaggerate, but this would be the greatest poll ever.

Joe J

Multiple voting of course. Then Cassie could do a run-off poll for the top 4.

Just Plain Bob

Nice list for a poll. I would love to see it come to fruition. I also like that “The Hustler” is on there. Seen lots of patrons pushing for “The Color of Money”, seemingly unaware that it’s a sequel. Fast Eddie Felton needs to be experienced as a character by himself before throwing in Tom Cruise’s Vincent (Cruise is fine but Newman was better). Plus, originals should always be watched before sequels or remakes. PS: My only suggestion would be that the poll should be about which order they’re watched in, not which one(s) to watch. Everything in there deserves a reaction.

Mark Vaderr

On Golden Pond is superb and Cassie would love it.

Joe J

"Decade specific films" is one of the many Pollception choices, but as of yet hasn't come up. Compared to other decades, 1960's films have been very neglected on the channel.

Joe J

For me, Predator 2 is a very entertaining film, good cast.

Happy Hanukkah

It's almost as if there's a reason they're classics! :-)

Happy Hanukkah

"Katharine Hepburn was in 'The African Queen', not 'Queen of Africa.'" I was very disappointed by the results of the last poll, which meant we won't see Katherine Hepburn starring in Out of Africa.

Mark White

Now that’s a Poll!!

Clay F

Example list to select 12-14 candidates from for 2020s poll: Sinners (2025) Black Bag (2025) Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) Warfare (2025) Superman (2025) F1 the Movie (2025) The Brutalist (2024) Conclave (2024) Anora (2024) Past Lives (2023) Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) Elvis (2022) She Said (2022) The Woman King (2022) CODA (2021) Belfast (2021) Drive My Car (2021) The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) Judas and the Black Messiah (2020) Sound of Metal (2020) Nomadland (2020) Promising Young Woman (2020)

Mark White

Having worked with all the big cat species apart from Jag’s, I would never fully trust a Leopard, no matter how well trained someone sez it is. But, I agree Richard to de-claw a cat is a appalling thing to do! I have been asked before why don’t I dehorn my goats, to which I say back, why don’t you remove your child’s hands!

Mark White

I suppose Grants fear of a big cat is sort of understandable. I once worked with a Zoo keeper who was scared to death of spiders, any spider! Wouldn’t even go in the same room! And he was the the animal manger! 😆

Joe J

I would also include: The Bee Keeper (2024), Bullet Train (2022), and Extraction (2020).

Richard Maurer

If nothing else Predator 2 is way better Jaws 2. Still wondering why that trash got a reaction. I couldn’t get through more than a minute of that film, even when it was a YouTube edit.

Richard Maurer

This apparently was taken down on YouTube. Why take down a 87 yr old movie? This takedown thing is a scam.

Mark White

Boooooo! That’s right, I’ve resorting to booing! Clarence where are you? Richard is bashing Jaws 2! 😆 Jaws 2 currently has 54k on YT in 5days Cape Fear 68k in 3 months! Born on the 4th 38k Shakesphere in Love 35k I think Cannonball Run would reach 300k at least! 😉

Richard Maurer

Mark - your selective accounting seems a bit biased. Cliffhanger ( a movie I care nothing about) got 59k in 2 days. Enter the Dragon has 93k in 7 days. And the only way Cannonball Run makes 300k is if Clarence buys 1000 TV’s and watchs it on all them non-stop 300 times. Or 1000 times on 300 TV’s. I wouldn’t put either scenario past him.

Mark White

“Selective accounting” 😆that’s why my wife does my Taxes! Yep, Clarence and myself would make sure CR is a massive success on YT. Let’s face it, most of the views to Crocodile Dundee 1 and 2 are me!

Stephen Dias

I've heard of this movie, but have never seen it before. The main characters are delightfully eccentric. I started watching the YT edit, but need to see the entire movie.

Ted Whalen

There were definitely some great movies in the 60’s. I would add the following movies as well: It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) Spartacus (1960) Judgement at Nuremberg (1961) To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

Mark White

I don’t watch other reactors, but from what I hear some others reactors do seam to get away with less problems than Cassie. Is she being unfairly treated? Is it because PiB is very successful compared to some other reactors? I don’t know. But, it does seam abit over the top with such a old movie.

Mark White

Clay, I can see you have put a lot of thought into this list of movies. My only problem with it is, I don’t think I’ve seen one of them! I know, it’s bad! If you could only recommend me one to watch, which one please?

David Harvey

"Bringing Up Baby" is Classic Hollywood at its best. It's one of the best of the Screwball Comedies that featured great writing and dialogue at a breathtaking pace usually involving romantic entanglements. It was directed by Howard Hawks and the film solidified Kathryn Hepburn as a star. You'll Love seeing more Screwball Comedy Films!

Clay F

Mark, most of the 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 movies on the list are Oscar Best Picture nominees and/or AFI Top 10 Movie of the Year. Based on what I've noticed some of your preferences, I suggest go see --"F1 The Movie" (2025) (car racing) in the theater. I saw it in the theater. Still playing in theater. Two movies based on true stories you might like: --The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) --She Said (2022). If you are an Elvis fan, I suggest: -- "Elvis" (2022). You may or may not like it but every Elvis fan should watch it. Lastly, a movie that may be a reach but I've watched twice this year and still think about: --Past Lives (2023)

Joe J

Several reactors I follow are having more copyright issues lately. Many no longer post a YT schedule at all due to the copyright delays. The super truncated reactions we see for Jaws 2 and Cliffhanger are also worrying, will that become the norm now in order to clear copyright? The studios are usually more than content to "claim" the reactions and therefore just get all the ad revenue (split with YT of course). Take downs are less frequent.

Mike Lemon

I'll say again, and likely be ignored again, PIB needs to start uploading to Rumble again. That way if something gets taken down from YouTube, or the unthinkable happens, there is a backup out there.

Clay F

Movies (among others) to consider for inclusion in a 2010s poll: -Black Swan (2010) -The Fighter (2010) -Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) -The Runaways (2010) -The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) -Drive (2011) -Take Shelter (2011) -My Week with Marilyn (2011) -The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) -The Railway Man (2014) -Paterson (2016) -Lion (2016) -Sing Street (2016) -Mudbound (2017) -The Florida Project (2017) -Wonder Woman (2017) -First Man (2018) -The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) You've already watched a lot of good 2010s movies.

Mark White

I think we will only know for sure when the bottom has fallen out of the reactor verse, is when Cassie finally watches “Under Siege” If that doesn’t make 100k then it’s in trouble. 90’s action like that should do well, but then again Cliffhanger is struggling, so….?!

Gray

No need Mike as PiB now uploads to Patreon player on here and the YT viewers are only ever going to view it on YT.

Mike Lemon

No need for backups everyone can see (not to mention new audience)??? I... I don't even know how to reply to that. Especially when it takes less than 5 minutes (minus the actual upload).

Joe J

I was curious. According to her Letterbox (needs updating), Cassie has watched this many films by decade. 558 of these films have been channel reactions. 2020s - 68, 2010s - 401, 2000s - 374 1990s - 232, 1980s - 113, 1970s - 28 1960s - 20, 1950s - 20, 1940s - 10, 1930s - 5

Clay F

Yeah, that makes sense. Her two peaks are 2010s and 2000s, whch make sense I guess considering her age. A nuance is when I went through Oscar Best Picture nominees and AFI Top 10 Movie of the Year for those two decades, she seemed heavier in that in the 2010s than in the 2000s, or at least for ones I like. The massive 558 reactions contributed to all decades. Complemented her 2000+ and likely responsible for most of her pre-2000. Is that tabulation you give off her Letterboxd = movies only or also includes TV show series?

Clay F

Below is a rough count I did a few months ago, so has changed some. Rough count of the number of movies by release date reacted to. TV series not included. MOVIES 2020s – 25 2010s – 77 2000s – 81 1990s – 144 1980s – 81 pre-1980 – 80 Are the 558 reactions you mentioned = movies only and not including TV show series?

Joe J

558 is movies only according to her YT playlists.

Chris Thom

Really curious what Bjorn here thinks of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011). I thought it was a solid remake. But was chatting with a Swede last year online and they were telling me that the Fincher version was total trash compared to the Swedish language version that came before.

Chris Thom

Woah that's weird. Literally the LAST movie I would imagine would be taken down. I don't know if it was vintage Paramount but I've heard they're the most strict towards reactors.

Chris Thom

I still need to see Conclave. Would bet Promising Young Woman might be controversial on the channel.

Clay F

Both are awesome but I like the 2011 remake better. I have nostalgia for the 2009 Swedish orginal because I watched that in 2010 before the 2011 remake was released.

Anthony Carlson

@Chris Thom the film is under Warner Brothers actually.

Richard Maurer

If I remember correctly Bjorn (like me) prefers the original. Personally, I can’t think of a remake of a foreign fill made in the last 40 years that I prefer to the original. The one I hate the most is The Departed. Not only because the original, Infernal Affairs (Hong Kong 02) was better but the people involved with The Departed tried to hide the fact that it was a remake.

Chris Thom

Oh WB had their big one hundred anniversary thing recently. Just watched the documentary on HBO Max. Maybe they're hoping to see a spike in sales and rentals of their back catalogue.

Chris Thom

Been meaning to see Dr. Strangelove and Dr. Zhivago for decades now. Could've sworn Bullit was already on the channel. Must be thinking of a different reactor.

Chris Thom

Coda is truly heartwarming and uplifting if you're in the mood for that. I think it even won Best Picture.

Chris Thom

I've always had trouble gauging the true popularity of JCVD or Steven Siegal. Mostly remember them as constant background noise on TNT and TBS.

Richard Maurer

I for one love Cassie’s made-up movie titles. My favorite was when A Monster Calls repeatedly became Touched By a Monster, which sounds like a very different movie

Richard Maurer

As a non-professional invertebrate keeper myself I used to frequent a Tarantula keepers forum and I was amused to find that a number of tarantula keepers wouldn’t keep centipedes because they found them to be too “creepy”.

Happy Hanukkah

"Maybe they're hoping to see a spike in sales" By reducing exposure to their product! :-) Yea, I know.

Happy Hanukkah

So, am I the only one getting some Lois Lane / Clark Kent vibes?

Richard Maurer

Ted - so I see. That was quick. And weird.

Richard Maurer

Yeah, kinda. Lois is never quite that manic though.

Richard Maurer

Chris - I’d say they’re not as popular as their fans think they are. And probably not as unpopular as their detractors think. Certain movies like Under Siege and Bloodsport would likely do well on YouTube. But go much beyond those two and things will go downhill fast.

Clay F

Chris - agree about CODA

Gábor Árki

It's not just the 60s. I've also been advocating for dedicated polls for both the 60s and 70s for the past two or three years, though without any success so far. While the pre-60s classics have their own dedicated polls and handpicked reactions once in a while, films from the 60s and 70s are grouped together with newer releases. As a result, most of them don't stand much of a chance against the more contemporary entries.

Clarence Newman

I have a suggestion re the increasingly-oppressive Youtube copyright laws. I'm not sure what to do about the goose-stepping copyright Nazis themselves - Cassie, Ben and Matt the Editor will know far more about them than me - but I do have an idea to prevent YT edits from being pure hack-jobs. We all know, from months and months of experience, that Cassie doesn't need a better editor than Matt. The guy's a genius. But with the extra restrictions he's working under, we're starting to get YT edits that literally feel like (in the immortal words of John Travolta in "Perfect") "someone's been editing with their f-ing elbows". Not aimed at you, Matt, you are not the problem, but Cliffhanger in particular was a disappointment. Important dialogue snipped too soon, whole scenes missing, etc etc etc. I'm not saying it wasn't watchable, but my enjoyment was certainly compromised. So!....here's my idea. Matt starts out with the whole film and edits it down as he sees fit, right? At which point, he probably has the perfect YT cut. He then tries to post and the SS kicks it back. He cuts a bit more out and reposts but it gets kicked back again. So on and so on, until finally, we have a severely-truncated edit that the copyright Nazis are happy with. Again, I'm not sure how to get around that for YT, but is it possible, please and thank you, for Matt to do his initial edit, post THAT on Patreon, and THEN work on making the Gestapo happy? The truncated YT edit will eventually pass copyright and we'll all go drop our view and like on it anyway, but here on Patreon, we'll have access to the edit as Matt intended it to be. It doesn't sound like any extra work to me, so can I get a maybe?

Clay F

After the GoT series reaction is complete, let’s hope she has interest to watch more long series in addition to the awesome GoT. In a True Detective episode reaction intro, she alluded to The Wire as being recognized as a great series, but that was just as an aside. Unless I missed it, she has never really discussed long series she would like to watch, except for GoT and that was only recently she divulged that. Surely, there are at least 1 or 2 more, maybe a few. GoT may or may not get a ton of YT views but should bring in Patreon subscribers. Plus, with GoT, she will become comfortable (and get in the groove) with reacting to a long series in 1 of the 3 reaction slots each week. But still early -- whether GoT will be the only long series or the start of a continuing long series journey. I would look forward to her interpretation in long series - weekly discussion on evolving character development/arcs, storylines, etc. Don't get that with 2-hr movie. Cassie: “I’ve done obviously not as many shows [series] as I have done movies but some of my favorites have been the shows because I just feel like you get to know characters and look forward to characters. Seeing them in weekly episodes.” Would love reactions to Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire, The Expanse, Mad Men, Dexter, The Vikings, Peaky Blinders, Battlestar Galactica, Deadwood, Homeland, Boardwalk Empire, Andor, The Americans, The Knick, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Endeavor, The Crown (S1-S2?), Victoria, Poldark, Downton Abbey, Freaks and Geeks, True Blood, Humans, Orphan Black, Black Bird, etc., etc., etc.

Mike Lemon

"let’s hope she has interest to watch more long series" Let's not.

Richard Maurer

Clay - Longer series are more of a gamble. If the numbers aren’t there you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. That being if you stop watching you anger the people who are watching with you, but continuing means continued low, or diminishing, numbers. The only long series I can think of that MIGHT be worth the risk is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It has a super loyal fan base, so it would bring new people to the channel, and I think Cassie would really enjoy it. But even Buffy would be a gamble. Most of the other series you mentioned don’t have the super fans you need to sustain views over a long period of time. Maybe Sopranos or Breaking Bad, but the others not so much. Andor is only 2 seasons so I wouldn’t consider that a long series.

Clay F

Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire, and Mad Men (and even Battlestar Galactica) would bring in more new peple to the channel and are less risky than Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Richard Maurer

Checked YouTube and the only well known reaction channel currently doing the Sopranos is The Normies, and they’re only getting 20k or less views per episode. The known channels I saw doing Breaking Bad did good numbers but that was a year ago, reaction video numbers hadn’t declined as much as they are now.

Joe J

Great idea Clarence, give it a try I say. Also, some reactors like The Media Knights and Cinepals, are posting longer edits that are passing copyright and staying up. Maybe Ben could reach out to these reactors to brainstorm the problem. The Cliffhanger and Jaws 2 edits were unwatchable too me, I hope a solution can be found.

Mark White

In theory it sounds like a good idea. But, I know nothing of this sort of thing. So I will leave it to the experts to say if it’s possible to do.

Clay F

Sopranos is iconic and importantly has both a new and old fan base. I just watched along Sopranos with LM Reactions on their Patreon. Averaged more than 20k YT views. What was striking was the influx of new faces on their Patreon and the lively discussion in the comments section for Sopranos reactions. Seeing the same now on their Patreon as I watch along their Mad Men reaction (they just started S2). It was the Sopranos fans who helped Mad Men win the poll. I don't think YT views for Mad Men or Buffy the Vampire Slayer will be the greatest but about bringing in Patreon subscribers. There is support among LM Reactions patrons for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. LM Reactions (288k YT subscribers) has done exclusively series for 8+ years and and have been successful. They suffer along with all reactors with declining views in the industry, but they have shown that reacting to many different series gets YT subscribers and paying Patreon members. LM Reactions (Lola and Milena) -- two females in their late 20's in Serbia and just moved to Spain They did the same podcast that Cassie did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BWNskyPLCs

Richard Maurer

Clay those series are less risky than Buffy? What are you basing that on? Ashleigh Burton is starting season 6 of Buffy and still doing 24k views (views on series tend to decline in the later seasons) The Normies are doing Sopranos season 1 and and are generally doing less than 20k. The Normies has 925k subscribers. Ashleigh Burton has 204k. You can’t say something will do better just because you like it.

Clay F

LM Reactions had up to 100k YT views for Sopranos, many episodes at 35k+. Plus, it's not really about the YT views primarily -- but about how many Patreon subscribers are brought in. The difference in income between 20k YT views versus say 40k YT views is miniscule. Richard, you are saying Buffy because you like it. You are biased in favor of Buffy b/c you like it and thus exaggerate their rabid fan base as greater than that of Sopranos.

Clay F

The key is that LM Reactions have reacted to so many series (and only series) -- different types -- and peaked at 4,000 paid Patreon members -- currently at 2,520 in the decline of the industry. LM Reactions (peaked at 4,000 paid Patreon members) examples of the series they have reacted to (and they only react to series -- no movies): Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Sopranos, The Wire, Better Call Saul, The Expanse, Mr. Robot, The Vikings, House of the Dragon, Shogun, Black Sails, The Boys, Midnight Mass, The Bear, Haunting of Bly Manor, Haunting of Hill House, The Fall of the House of Usher, Band of Brothers, Fallout, The Last of Us, Severance, Attack on Titan, Freren, Cowboy Bebop, Arcane, Ranking of Kings.

Milton Reduxed

I've posted before but I'll post again, my preferred method of weekly scheduling: Slot #1 - Weekly Poll Winner or Popcorn Requests Top Voted Slot #2 - PaF Winner Slot #3 - Cassie's Choice If Cassie wants to watch TV for her choice I'm fine with that

Milton Reduxed

I'm surprised that doesn't happen already, or is there an issue where even privated videos on youtube are subject to restrictions? I know that currently patreon basically doesn't give an F about copyright and are allowing reactors to just screen the whole movie on the platform, claiming the reactor element is 'transformative' in itself—So Patreon won't have a problem with a YT edit that youtube itself doesn't like

Richard Maurer

You are saying that I’m biased yet you fail to mention that LM’s 100k episode view happened a year ago, which was when reaction videos were doing better numbers than they are now. More importantly that 100k episode was only for the first episode and most first season episodes after that dropped to the 30-40k range. And that LM, a channel with 288 k subscribers, is currently doing less than 20k views with most of Sopranos season 6. I can be honest and say Buffy isn’t setting the world on fire, but it’s probably going to do slightly better than the Sopranos, based on available data.

"I just watched along Sopranos with..." Why do people hate variety? Everybody has to watch the same few things. "LM Reactions ... has done exclusively series for 8+ years" So a TV reaction channel. Cassie billed/bills herself as a movie channel, hell, it was her tag line for years. "I think their recent focus on anime has contributed to that decline." There was a recent survey that said 1 in 3 people (streaming households?) watch anime.

Richard Maurer

Also Clay, I didn’t say that Buffy had a “rabid” fan base, I said they were super loyal, which they are.

Clay F

I see that Ashleigh Burton (1,837 paid Patreon members) averaged at most 40k YT views with Buffy, which I agree is good. LM Reactions patrons (series only, peaked at 4,000 paid Patreon members, currently at 2520) are happy -- they voted for the iconic Sopranos and then Mad Men. The channel is successful and doesn't seem too concerned about "gamble" or "risk" you noted, but instead letting the patrons vote on series within the interests of the 2 reactors. In the Mad Men poll, Barry came in 2nd. I think LM will react to Andor -- as they have indicated, and which performed well in a previous poll. The LM patrons have had the opportunity in polls to select Buffy but didn't. Though there is LM patron support for Buffy and I think LM will eventually react to Buffy. Patrons influenced the reactors to be more receptive to Buffy. I don't think the LM patrons or the two reactors care much about a difference of a few thousand (<30k) in YT views. The channel seems all about the interests of the two reactors and keeping the patrons happy -- letting the patrons decide within the boundaries of the interests of the two reactors. There have been days past where LM got some good numbers of YT views but I don't think that their focus, especially in the current state of the industry. Surely, they want some YT views, maybe not really for the minor income, but for funneling in paying Patron members.

Catherine LW

Christopher Reeve based his Clark Kent on Cary Grant’s David Huxley in this film.

Richard Maurer

I don’t want to argue ( mostly because it might get deleted) so all I’ll say is Buffy is an iconic series too. Maybe not as Iconic on critics lists as Sopranos but still well regarded.

Clay F

Agree it is iconic. Buffy is one of the best (and most popular) series of all time. I don't know that a gamble or risk of a few thousand view difference in YT views should be the dominant deciding factor, and is hard to calculate. What you and I discussed here on actual numbers of views is more anecdotal than comprehensive, and not a rigorous statistical analysis -- plus in a fluid reactor industry environment. I would be all for Cassie making the executive decision on what long series to react to with or without patron input --- just so the third reaction slot continuously has a series (could ocassionally be a short series).

Above Average Dave

Are there any other platforms that don't censor as much or is this the studios? I know YouTube is the preferred destination, but starting a second account at Rumble or an alternative platform that may offer more content per reactions may be an interesting A/B test, and offers a second market opportunity. No doubt this has been considered but just throwing it out there.

Mike Lemon

@Dave- "She" has a Rumble channel, she just stopped uploading to it 7 months ago- https://rumble.com/c/PopcornInBedOfficial -but it was never a simultaneous upload and she barely ever mentioned it. I have been trying to get it used more, but, well, it hasn't.

Patrick Switzer

Have you seen On Golden Pond with Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn

Mike Lemon

@Ted- Maybe start a new topic, it doesn't really fit here, but- I have recommended it a few times. Despite being based on lies, it is one of the better mini-series.

Ted Whalen

Mike- sounds good. I will go ahead and just delete the comment (no worries at all).

Richard Maurer

Ted - now I don’t know what series you’re talking about. :-)

Ted Whalen

Richard- it is a television mini-series from the mid 1970’s. However, I think it probably to divisive for this community.

Mike Lemon

Roots. It's a good recommendation, but doesn't really fit with Clay's topic about long series. Just start a new comment thread.

Clay F

Mike -- Cassie is not slave to some "movie channel" tag line. Indeed, she has reacted to series since the beginning of the channel. Hell, her reaction to Band of Brothers helped the channel grow early on. Many reactors combine long series and movies as content. A winning formula. Let's hope Cassie does so.

Milton Reduxed

@ Ted, I don't think it will be too divisive as almost everyone has zero interest it

Joe J

I won't watch any long series on the channel, I just have no interest. Limited run and 1-2 season shows are fine with me. At this point, I don't think what she watches (movies and/or TV shows) will grow her paid patreon subscriptions in any meaningful way.

Mike Lemon

10 episodes is much different than 75-ish to 90-ish.

Long-time Sci-Fi Enthusiast

Hi Cassie, Glad you enjoyed this Classic comedy film. I think it is fair to say, you cannot go wrong with any Cary Grant film. He was a marvellous talent & everybody should get to enjoy his work. Which we are lucky enough to have available, personally, I feel the same about many nearly 100 Yrs old films. Why miss out on good Actors/Actresses & the amazing work they did, just because it was in the past.

Clay F

Big time agree -- long series are more of a commitment than a miniseries or single season of episodes. However, as an aside, the time does fly by when in a groove of a long series with excellent reactions to episodes week in and week out. Yet, my point was that a 10-episode series is inconsistent with being slave to the tag line "movie channel." Movies channel only? Band of Brothers = 10 episodes The Pacific = 10 episodes Firefly = 14 episodes Loki = 6 episodes Obi-Wan Kenobi = 6 episodes TNG = 40 episodes The Book of Boba Fett = 7 episodes Falcon and Winter Soldier = 6 episodes Haunting of Hill House = 10 episodes The Last of Us = 16 episodes The Mandalorian = 24 episodes The Queen's Gambit = 7 episodes True Detective = 8 episodes WandaVision = 9 episodes Masters of the Air = 9 episodes Now, the channel is at a perfect progression point to do long series as a minority content to the channel. Bring in more folks to the channel.

Mike Lemon

"the time does fly by when in a groove of a long series" Not for the people that don't want to watch it. It drags on forever. "inconsistent with being slave to the tag line "movie channel." " You are the only one even implying that. There is a difference between an occasional 10-ish episode series and 1/3 of all content for a year.

Mark Vaderr

Cassie, I love this reaction from you. I hope that you show this movie to your kids and Carly. :) Admit it Cassie, you would be using the same sneaky tactics that Susan does to keep David near her. "Because I just went GAY, all of a sudden!" Great line.

Richard Maurer

Ted - if we ever reach the point where we can’t mention the tv series Roots, I won’t be here anymore anyway.

Richard Maurer

Catherine - Yes it returned. But it was gone for awhile.

Clay F

Mike -- so for you a matter of degree, not an absolute. She can still honor "movie channel" if reacting to series. By my count, she has reacted to 184 episodes, which is average 40 episodes per year. There have been many movies she has reacted to that I really don't want to watch. Plus, her reactions to series are generally more engaging than with the typical movie she reacts to. I have a better chance of enjoying more of the content if iconic TV shows are included in the mix. I vote that she dedicate a third of the channel to series.

Gábor Árki

The issue with long series is that, personally, I’m only interested in and willing to invest the time for reactions to maybe a dozen of them, my absolute favorites. Everything else is either something I’ve already seen and have no desire to rewatch or something I haven’t seen at all. The latter is slightly better, but even then, I’m not a fan of watching something new and the reaction simultaneously, because I would mainly be interested in seeing reactions to those I already love. Not to mention I may not even like it that much to stick with it and watch it through. So, most likely long series will only be a drag for me, and given they are long, it will be a drag for a very long time. Unlike in case of movies, where there will be always something new to look out for during the next week that may be among my long awaited favorites. I’m not sure how others feel, but I think long series are a double-edged sword. On one hand, yes they can attract new viewers who are fans of that particular show. On the other, they risk alienating a lot of regular members who now end up with a third less content for the same subscription cost. And even then, how many of those new viewers will actually stick around once the series they came for ends? I am subscribing to some channels just for watching along my very favorite series. But once those are over it is unlikely I will be sticking around because they almost certainly will be continuing with some other series I have zero interest in.

Mike Lemon

"so for you a matter of degree, not an absolute." No, for me it is a near absolute with only actual mini-series being watched [Pride and Prejudice, Roots, Jesus of Nazareth, Shogun (1980), etc.]. I would also go further and say no to more than three of any franchise- no bajillion Rockys, Star Wars, James Bond, etc. "184 episodes, which is average 40 episodes per year." So more than 1/4 of all content. Now add in all the long-ass franchises (more than 3) and you see why I keep harping on variety.

Clay F

Gabor -- can be a mix of alternating between long and short series. Joe -- Jen Murray's paid Patreon membership grew dramatically after she started reacting to series, and continues to grow with her focus on series. When she started reacting to DS9 a couple of months back, I saw an influx of new faces in Patreon comments section. TNG, Seinfeld, and DS9 have been a success for her.

Clay F

Mike -- 184 episodes, which is average 40 episodes per year is not "more than 1/4 of all content," but does indicate that the tag line 'movie channel' is not a barrier. I was thinking that 40 episodes per year at 2 episodes per reaction slot is equivalent to 20 movies per year, or about 0.4 movie per week = 13% of content (not more than 25%). I have found that I very much enjoy series reactions -- long or short. But even better with iconic series. In contrast, I tend to dread franchise reactions because so many mediocre/bad sequels.

Mike Lemon

"not "more than 1/4 of all content," " Oh, you counted episodes not "watch slots". Good Catch. But that doesn't change the point, especially since Trek was 1/4 until Halloween, and now Game of Thrones, which promises to be worse, then advocating for even more long-ass series. "I have found that I very much enjoy series reactions" And the people that don't are just screwed. Don't like a movie, well maybe the next one is better. Don't like a long-ass series, well tough, it's on for the next year. "I tend to dread franchise reactions because so mediocre/bad sequels in franchises." We aren't allowed to say that.

MikeLL

It's on her radar now.

Milton Reduxed

@ Clay, Jen Murray gained new patrons with Star Trek & Seinfeld, but also lost many tired of the same two shows every single week, so the count has now equalized to approximately what it was before; Replacing patrons rather than growing them

Clay F

Milton -- not true. When Jen started TNG in October 2023, she was at 750 paid Patreon members. Then, steadily increased over 17 months peaking at 1537 paid Patreon members near April, 2025. TNG and Seinfeld were a winning formula for her. Definitely helped her become more economically viable. She has lost some (for her <200) since April, as have most reactors, dropping to a current 1345 paid Patreon members but no big exodus of patrons or anywhere near "equalized." DS9 is helping with that stability as TNG winds down. At start of TNG = 750 paid Patreon members. Current = 1345 paid Patreon members. Long series brough in paid Patreon members for her, increasing from 750 to a current 1345. Before this significant increase, she was concerned about economic viability in late 2023. I think iconic long series (e.g., GoT, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire) as 1/3 of the PiB channel could have a similar effect at PiB in boosting the number of paid Patreon members -- and also give us enjoyable rich reactions/content. Or are there many at PiB instead wanting more Howard the Duck and Red Dawn? Game of Thrones. IMDb 9.2 (avg rating by 2,500,000 users) Sopranos. IMDb 9.2 (536,000 users) Breaking Bad. IMDb 9.5 (2,400,000 users) The Wire. IMDb 9.3 (409,000 users) Cliffhanger. IMDb 6.5 (145,000 users) Bringing Up Baby. IMDb 7.8 (69,000 users) Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. IMDb 6.2 (159,000 users) The Pianist. IMDb 8.5 (978,000 users) Jaws 2. IMDb 5.8 (90,000 users) War Games. IMDb 7.1 (118,000 users) Enter the Dragon. IMDb 7.6 (118,000 users) Man of Steel. IMDb 7.1 (848,000 users) Howard the Duck. IMDb 4.8 (53,000 users)

Milton Reduxed

Christ has it been that long? I thought she started TNG like 18 months ago. But this is what I'm talking about; Jen has got 4,500 unwatched movies on her website, but instead watches the same shows week after week. Alright if you're a hardcore fan, but at the expense of variety

Clay F

She has been squeezing in an interesting movie (a lot of old sci-fi stuff) in every week.

Carol_White

I too am trying to beat her record of least-watched video on her YouTube channel. Together we can destroy her marketability for all time.

Chris Thom

I don't know if the YT edits can legally get any better than they are. But that's what the full reactions are for. This is a bit nitpicky but I do wish sometimes that the outros were a couple minutes longer. On the movies I really like mostly.

Chris Thom

That was my first thought. That and like a buddy cop movie or something similar.

Gábor Árki

Clay, that’s exactly the issue I’m referring to. I’m sure Jen has lost many longtime subscribers who initially joined for her broad variety of movie reactions. These days, there is just one or occasionally two movie reactions a week, with the rest of her schedule taken up by long-running series. I have joined her channel because of TNG, and now that it is soon to be over, I’ll stick around for DS9. But that’s pretty much the only content I’m actively watching. I don’t follow her Seinfeld reactions at all, and I only occasionally check out her movie reactions. Once the Star Trek series I’m interested in are done, there’s a good chance I’ll unsubscribe. Unless she picks up another show from my absolute favorites I haven’t watched in a while, which is a short list. I also suspect she’ll see a noticeable drop in paid subscribers after TNG finishes. According to Graphtreon, there was a steady subscriber increase in the months starting with October 2023 when she started TNG, and a big jump in January when she began DS9. So clearly, those series brought in new members. But now she’s trying to satisfy fans of three different series. I remember a lot of TNG fans were frustrated when she switched to following airdate order, cutting TNG down to just one episode a week. Many of them had no interest in DS9, and I expect they’ll leave once TNG wraps up. That drop should be reflected in her numbers. And once all the Star Trek content ends, there may be a major decline that forces her to rebuild the channel and find a whole new audience. With movies, I believe you can build a relatively stable and loyal subscriber base. But with long series, you’re constantly having to attract new viewers and subscribers for every new series you introduce. And many will only stay for the duration of the show they care about. Once that ends and the next series doesn’t appeal to them, they’ll likely move on.

Chris Thom

A shorter series would be fun. But Mindhunter I think she's seen already. Weirdly.

Richard Maurer

Gabor - I’ve seen this with other reactors, Natalie Gold for one, they get a little success with one series, then think they need to switch to more series/less movies, only to lose long time subscribers doing stuff like Ted Lasso, which while it has a fan base, it’s not a huge one. I’m just hoping Cassie doesn’t fall into this trap, one series a week is more than enough.

Richard Maurer

I don’t think it’s as much about legality as it is about YouTube getting paid. As long as they’re making their share of the money from ad revenue they don’t care who else gets the rest, whether it’s the studio or the reactor. So they just let the studios claim away without doing anything to protect the reactors who are getting hurt.

Clay F

Gabor -- TNG/Seinfeld saved her channel. Before TNG, she said she was struggling to pay editing costs and may discontinue her channel, saying that the channel was not economically viable. At start of TNG = 750 paid Patreon members. Current = 1345 paid Patreon members. Last December, patrons (dominated by the many TNG fans) voted for air date and to include Voyager in addition to DS9. Currently, as you may have noticed, TNG has already dropped off w/S7. But those patrons (TNG fans) remain and influence the channel (you can see that in polls, content, discussion, etc.). She is in a much better position now than pre-TNG to build a relatively stable/loyal subscriber base - including post-Trek.

Clay F

Richard -- the 1 series/2 movie per week mix fits what I want most as a patron. But I subscribe to LM Reactions (those 2 Serbian females in their late 20's have done alright financially for years and continue to do so) who do 3 series per week, no movies. As for Jen, TNG pretty much started as a weekly commitment, but Seinfeld she just tinkered with and only committed weekly after she saw the successful impact on the channel of Seinfeld (and b/c she realized she liked Seinfeld). My guess is when she completes Seinfeld, she may return to 2 movies per week -- we'll see. A few months ago, over half (57%) of voting patrons voted for her to react to Band of Brothers but she seems against it. Band of Brothers by far is the No. 1 series at her patron request site. My pleas for Band of Brothers fell on deaf ears?

Clay F

Jen Murray single-vote poll December 11, 2024. "The BIG TV Poll You've Been Asking For So We Can Decide Once and For All What The Plan Is!" See the 38% winner, the 16% 2nd place, and the 2% next to last place. 6% - I only want to watch TNG (when I say TNG this includes movies) 12% - I want to watch DS9 after TNG 5% - I want to watch VOY after TNG 1% - I want to watch ENT after TNG 3% - I want to watch TNG and DS9 consecutively BY AIRDATE *5% - I want to watch TNG, DS9, and VOY consecutively BY AIRDATE 38% - I want to watch TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT consecutively BY AIRDATE 12% - I'm not here for Trek at all 16% - I'm interested in NON-Trek TV shows 2% - I'm not interested in TV shows at all, only movies *I voted this choice, which received 5%. The vote for Trek TV totaled 70%, with "only" TNG (TV/movies) being 6%. I subscribed to Jen Murray in summer 2023 (my 3rd reactor) because I liked her and her movie reactions. I was so pleasantly surprised a few months later after joining when she started TNG, which is my No. 1 Trek series. I had no idea she was going to react to TNG when I joined. I have sentimental value for TOS. I love Seinfeld -- one of my favorite series all time. I watched TNG, DS9, and Voyager as they aired -- loved them all. I never could get into Enterprise but been told has a slow start like Trek series do and that I could get into if I gave it a chance. My Trek series ranking for what I like most: 1. TNG 2. TOS 3. DS9 (arguably the best) 4. VOY (awesome) 5. Picard 6. ENT I want to give SNW a chance.

Joe J

This idea of a "Patreon Edit" is brilliant. If this comes too fruition, Clarence gets to chose a reaction of his choice. He deserves it guys. I can watch "Every Which Way But Loose" or "Cannonball Run" one more time.🤣

Joe J

With GoT taking (4) watch slots every month, plus PAF (1) and Cassie's PPoTM (1), we are left with (6) open slots each month. I hope these (6) slots will be filled with movies decided by Polls. Myself, I like to vote on what gets watched. Cassie does tend to slip in a few more of her choices every month (i.e. Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story), so that's a concern for me.

Clay F

Like most reactors I subscribe, Cassie makes executive decisions (beyond PPoTM), and will likely continue to do so. After all, it is her channel and she does have interests, and there are many issues/factors she deals with. But she has been relying on polls and seems more focused on polls and PR rankings, and may be even more deferential to polls as a consolation for GoT. By the way, as you know, there are on average per year = 4.33 weeks per month. Can roundly say there are 5 weeks per month every third month. Month 1 = 4 weeks (12 watch slots) -- GoT (4), PAF (1), PPoTM (1), open (6) Month 2 = 4 weeks (12 watch slots) -- GoT (4), PAF (1), PPoTM (1), open (6) Month 3 = 5 weeks (15 watch slots) -- GoT (5), PAF (1), PPoTM (1), open (8)

Catherine LW

It’s at 23k in 2 days. Not bad.

Clay F

Chris -- thanks for pointing out she has seen Mindhunter -- I deleted Mindhunter from my list -- which, by the way, is not exclusive. There are so many more series than on my list that would make for good reactions. Maybe in the future, she could decide the series to react to based, in part, on patron input. For instance, she could let patrons decide in a poll among series (e.g., 3 or 4) she wants to react to. In other words, she defines the boundaries (i.e., specifies the series poll candidates) and then patrons vote to choose the winner among her choices.

Joe J

Yes, fewer executive decisions would be very welcome by me, lol.

Catherine LW

It certainly worsens each season. I forced myself to watch it as some of it interested me but the torture scenes were too much. Ended up playing a game on my ipad to pass the time. I really hated the last season. They ran out of ideas, though much of the storyline was lifted from the Wars of the Roses (history, not the movie).

Richard Maurer

Clay - I always find it odd when people talk about reaction channels, saying “It’s {reactors name} channel they can watch what they want”. Really? I mean to a certain extent, yes, but not if they plan on making money. That’s literally why we’re referred to as patrons, we’re paying because we enjoy the content. Stop making content that at least a good percentage of your patrons enjoy, start losing money. While I don’t expect all the content to be my favorites, I expect most of it to be at the very least interesting to me. But if it got to a point where I was only watching 1 or 2 YouTube edits a month I couldn’t justify being a patron anymore.

kaiielle

Richard, more people than you would expect simply like financially supporting a creator that they enjoy and don't necessarily tie their dollars to how much content they're personally getting out of the creator on a regular basis. An easy way to tell this is looking at the # of votes that polls get and the views that watchalongs get (even really popular ones) relative to the total number of paid members that a reactor has. I'm not suggesting that everyone needs to act in this way, but my guess is that the people who say "It's their channel, they can watch what they want." are mainly folks who treat their support in this way. They're supporting the creator continuing to do what they do and are largely indifferent to how many videos appeal to them. I think that Cassie has a lot of this type of support.

Joe J

Generally, only about 50% of monthly reactions appeal too me. Got a few recent wins with Mad Max 1 & 2, Man of Steel, Enter the Dragon, and Sin City. It keeps me hanging around. When Cassie picks movies, it usually doesn't go well for me, lol.

Mike Lemon

"...only about 50% ..." 50% ? Lucky. This year I'm at 13, so what is that, 15% ?

Clay F

The creators are in charge of content and decide if and how much to rely on patron input. The patron decides if they want to be a patron.

Clarence Newman

53 comments on one post?! That's got to be a record. As a reward, Clay should get a reaction to Lost In Translation.

Clay F

I like the way you think Clarence.

Joe J

Yeah Clarence, but half the comments are from Clay.🤣

Richard Maurer

Kaiielle - personally, if I were here just for the content, I wouldn’t be here. I do want to support Cassie. But by the same token I find it hard to believe that a significant number of people are here just to give money to Cassie, and don’t care about the content at all. What’s their motivation then? People seldom give money without the expectation of getting something in return, however nebulous the possibility of return may be. You point out that the number of patrons vs views that watchalongs get, but that doesn’t mean those people are just here to support Cassie. I only watch a select few of the watchalongs, but the number is (currently) enough to keep me paying for them. I rather think most people are here for a variety of reasons - Cassie herself, content, the community to be found in these comments, probably other reasons too. But if Cassie said that from now on she’s only going to react to videos of people doing algebra on a chalkboard I don’t think she’d have very many patrons left after a couple of weeks. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m usually not.

Mike Lemon

@Richard- Could she branch into trigonometry too? Maybe spherical trigonometry? There is a book on my desk I've been meaning to work through.

Richard Maurer

Mike - You can be the one! The one view those videos would get.

kaiielle

Richard - lol I had to chuckle at your example because of how large of a stretch it is. *Obviously* drastically changing the content that is being reacted to would result in a large amount of people leaving. But as long as Cassie sticks to movies and TV (and heck, even if she incorporates music one day because a lot of people ask for that), folks will be here. Yes, there are multiple reasons that people choose to support. I was simply pointing out one of them as a response to what you said.

Clay F

Reasons I am a patron because I like: --Her reactions independent of the movie/series content. --Supporting the channel (I am not rich but $15/mo is cheap for me). --PiB community and the discussions. --Some of the movie/series content. I request at PR, vote in polls, comment. --She mid-30s w/kids -- easier to relate than 20-yr old reactor. --No excessive production analysis. --No excessive talking. Communicative facial expressions. --Her empathy. Also, she animated against racism. In 2020-23, I watched a few music (song) YT reactions but movie reactions were a puzzle to me. In early mid 2023, I joined a movie reactor Patreon at $3/mo to see what was like -- a new channel w/30-yr old Canadian female as reactor. I didn't do much but voted in polls -- watched a few of her YT videos. Then, in mid-2023, I started watching various reactors on YT to decide on a 2nd reactor to join Patreon. I remember going back and forth with PiB, then scratching her off the list, but I wasn't really paying attention -- I'm not the most perceptive. Yet, when I watched her YT reactions to Band of Brothers, I immediately joined PiB Patreon (my 2nd reactor) to watch her BoB full reactions.

Richard Maurer

Kaiielle- I never meant to imply that all people were only here for the content either, just that for me, personally, it’s a very important part of my support for any reactor. And that the idea that a reactor can watch whatever they choose, as Clay implied, has consequences for the reactor. If I gave the impression that it was only about content in my original comment you replied to I’m sorry for any misunderstanding. My example (algebra videos) was necessarily ridiculous as I wanted something that no one could seriously say “I would stay for that” to make my point. Really, we don’t actually have a disagreement, we were just talking about different reasons people are patrons.

Kiss the Librarian

lol The kids don’t know what they’re missing! And I say that as a 40 yr old 🥲
