Play that funky music white boy 🤘Orlando Jones deserves much more recognition that he gets, a very underrated actor

Josh Minke

Yes! Been waiting for this since yall accidently posted it a week ago haha

OddThomas

It's an okay movie. It tried to be Ghostbusters with aliens but the difference is Ghostbusters had comedians and Evolution has actors trying to be comedians.

Brandon Meng

i just need you to know i paused a reaction on yt mid-reaction so i could switch to this one

Jeff K.

I haven't seen this movie since it was in theaters, so I'll be interested in revisiting it. I remember being super hyped for it based on trailers, but then feeling disappointed when I actually saw it, so watching it with lower expectations should help, you would think. Also, it makes me remember that I need to check out the Liam Neeson/Joe Keery movie Cold Storage that came out last year, because that got solid reviews and has been compared to Evolution in a lot of the stuff I've read.

Hypnobob

Give us back Simone you horrible alien sphincter!

djKENTO

For 4/20 next year you should watch the Ivan Reitman produced 1980s animated R-Rated Comic Book movie HEAVY METAL It's adapted from a French comic magazine called Metal Hurlant. The directors include James Cameron's special effects supervisor John Bruno and the writers have Dan O'Bannon who wrote Alien, and comic book legend Bernie Wrightson. It is one of THE seminal 80s stoner movies. The real D&D playing, head banging burn out shit in the best way possible. oh and the soundtrack LEGIT FUCKING ROCKS! Totally lives up to the name.

OddThomas

This is a VERY tenuous link, but for more Orlando Jones watch Magnolia.

JBK405

I remember this as just a bit of stupid fun. Apparently it was originally written as a serious sci-fi thriller, but mid-production they switched it to a comedy and re-wrote the script. I can only imagien what that originally story might have been. I won't rank it up there with "Ghostbusters", but I do understand viewing it as a spiritual sequel of sorts to the original films. Similar premise and shared crew, and more heart than you might expect.

Frank

Couldn't agree more about the Dreamworks intro. For whatever reason, it's very soothing to me.

Balmung

Literally I saw that they had released this and went to get something to eat during the movie, was singing that to myself the whole time

Patrick

Just a really fun Sunday afternoon film to watch.

Brandon Meng

if you want this brand of david duchovny but on steroids i would absolutely just die if you all did a reaction to his californication tv series that aired on showtime for a good stretch 2007-2014

James Lawson

Same, i got so confused too cos i think i thought they had already done this one too

Frank

He's awesome. Was just going to say this. They should watch Double Take with him and Eddie Griffin

D Bi

Was so happy to see this one of my favorite movies!

OddThomas

Speaking of killer gorillas, you should watch 'Congo' with Tim Curry

Mike FromOz

Yeah, my thoughts as well. And on the rewatch, it's about the same feeling I had when I saw it at the cinema. I had high hopes for it, especially being such an X-Files fan, but it really didn't deliver for me. Glad other people like it, but it's a bit 'eh' for me.

Rachiebubbles

Please add George of the jungle to your list to watch. Such a fun family movie with brendan fraser in it.

Cartoons ReAct

Soo if you love the song...we need a reaction to The New Guy

Joel

I love Julianne Moore in this so much, her casual clumsiness is just too perfect

Tinfoilnation

To answer your question George - meteors at impact have long since lost all of the heat they generated when they hit the upper atmosphere. It should have been cool to the touch. They heat up during entry, but then get air-cooled when they hit the lower atmosphere. Every movie you've ever seen with a flaming hot meteor impact is a lie. I'm sure it comes as a bit of a shock to know that Hollywood Science™ got it wrong. :p Fun Fact: That's what killed the dinosaurs. All the ejecta from trillions of tons of rock launched into the upper atmosphere by the initial impact heated up when it started raining back down - but then cooled just as rapidly as it fell. That heat has to go somewhere and it goes into the atmosphere. One pebble no problem. Multiple trillions of pebbles - the earth's entire atmosphere turned into a bakers oven - hot enough to ignite every forest on earth.

Brandon

I know he's in it, but do you even see his face in that movie? 😅 He's also in The Replacements with Keanu Reeves.

OddThomas

I feel like Annihilation is the serious version of Evolution...

Cc Decc

BTW Simone, Ursula K. Le Guin was a HUGE genre author back in the day with her Earthsea series. I read them all as a child. I think there were a couple of unsatisfactory attempts to bring them to screen with miniseries or whatnot. But that world (think there were 4 novels) would require a major streaming commitment ala Ring of Powers, Wheel of Time etc., except competent.

Twiska Brand

Regarding them not wanting the town to have Christmas decorations up, you are assuming it was all filmed within a month and in order, which it almost certainly wasn't. They can't have Christmas decorations in random scenes, which would break continuity. And if they set the movie during Christmas, they'd have the opposite problem: making sure the town kept them up.

Morion Williams

Now they need to do "Eight Legged Freaks"

rictus grin

this one falls under silly but fun for me

Neil

I remember watching this film in the cinema. They gave everyone free samples of Head and Shoulders as they were going in. We didn't understand why until they mentioned it in the film.

gfixler

I don't believe it. I feel like this upload is going to be yanked away from me at any moment.

Ashley Mundt

Another 2001 comedy that to me is a MUST watch, Josie and the Pussycats! I BEG!

Peter K

There's always time for lube!!!!

Jeff K.

Given the fact he first gained fame as a 7-Up pitchman (he was the original, "Make 7-Up yours!" guy in the commercials back in the day, for those who don't know), it is pretty incredible to see what a terrific actor he really is. I lost interest in American Gods pretty quickly, but he was freaking mesmerizing in that show.

Ashton Lewis

Easily this directors funniest film - Ghostbusters survives on nostalgia alone (yeah I said it, fight me)

Jeff K.

Just started the reaction and I'm literally two minutes in, and can I just say: I love the videos when it just FEELS like Simone has taken an edible. No idea if she actually had, but she's giving that vibe.

funky weapon

Why isn't Evolution more fondly remembered, like Ghostbusters? A couple of things immediately spring to mind. 1. miscast. Orlando Jones and Juliann Moore work great, but David Duchovny is playing a Venkman-style character with none of the charm of Bill Murray. Seann William Scott is... well, Seann William Scott. you either vibe with his very one dimensional performances or you don't. 2. no iconography. what do you remember about Ghostbusters? you remember the Ecto-1, you remember the firehouse, you remember the proton packs and the jumpsuits, you remember the ghosts. visually, Ghostbusters has an identity that the scientists and aliens of Evolution just don't have. all of the aliens are either blobs or bugs, barring one brief sequence involving a dragon they keep referring to as a bird. oh, and instead of a cool laser lightshow for the finale, they shove a tube of shampoo up a tumor's ass. it's just... not a memorable movie. That being said, it is fun. you can kill 90 minutes with it and feel okay about that. but it is interesting to see how in the hands of more capable actors or imaginative designers, it could've been something much more than a mediocre comedy.

Cc Decc

Also for Simone, in a pretty random coincidence, a few months ago I actually ran into this AI generated video of...a trailer for Wes Anderson does the LOTR: yt v=KrjL_TSOFrI .

Gnargoyle

Something I've found interesting is that in real life Sean William Scott is the exact opposite of the characters he is most known for. Unlike his usual party boy persona, he actually is a very quiet, polite, and reserved guy who had never even had a girlfriend until he was 30.

Cc Decc

I have retyped this several times because I am not trying to be in any way confrontational, but my vibe read was "kinda tired and relatively disengaged and maybe at the end of a long day of shooting" and your comment took me back to an old gf of mine who I loved because she was quick, fun, a little naughty, and I absolutely hated it when she would get high because it took all that away from her. She became a slow grey slug slumped into the couch with all her sparkle extinguished.

Wicked Wookie

I enjoyed the bit about his character being an author whose book titles are all Slayer album titiles.

Dan Holmes

7:33 I haven't seen this movie in like 15 years and instantly quoted that line along with SWS 🤣 "I do this..." Fuckin' hilarious

Thall

Movies like this must be why people think the compunds of a chemical molecule are identical to what they previoously were. Selenium and Selenium Sulfide are two totally different things, darn it!

Ghostdm

Babe directed by Quentin Tarantino

John

He was great in Office Space in a small but funny role

Data Cable

Ah, the original Ghostbusters 3

akaTheBAY-AY-RON

Per the piece of dan aykroyd trivia where he would great people at Wal-Mart, and things of that nature that cause George to say "Nodody would believe you." that whole thing reminds me of a Bill Murray story. The story isn't able to be varified and proven true, but if it did happen then that was Bill Murray's goal. But the story goes, some guy was sitting at a Wendy's having a burger and fries. The story he tells is that Bill Murray walked in, walked right up to him, took a fry off his tray, eats it having said nothing at this point, and looks the guy dead in the eyes and says "Nobody is going to believe you." and just leaves. Walked out. So yeah, the guy tells this story, can't really prove it, but I really need that story to be true, and just assume it is XD.

Basilisk

I think I was introduced to Orlando Jones through the movie "The Replacements" then the movie "Double Take" and then this movie. Dude should do more mainstream comedies. Given your reaction to Seann William Scott in this movie, I'd love to see you two react to the movie "The Rundown.

Kenny Shoulders

A movie starring Orlando Jones that you will love is Double Take. It’s a funny crime movie.

John

1+ The Replacements and The Rundown, the Replacements also have Keanu and Gene Hackman

JakeyShakeyBakeyBoy

Have genuinely used “tookie tookie” as a phrase ever since this came out haha. Underrated indeed

Ashkaun

I watched this movie as a kid so many times. It was one of many movies that inspired me to study Biology and do research (like I do today)

FranciscoGios

The bird call reaction was the highlight of this movie. I almost couldn't breath on my first watch of the bird call, very funny indeed.

REDR58

It feels and looks VERY TV. Not really cinematic.

REDR58

Yes!

Ted Levine was also in Heat as Detective Bosko, one of the men working with Hanna (Pacino) and who is killed in the big shootout outside the bank. Ethan Suplee (from American History X) who plays Deke, the larger of the 2 brothers with the C- grade, was also in Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Road Trip, Remember the Titans, Clerks II, The Wolf of Wall Street and Clerks III. Orlando Jones was in Office Space and Bedazzled. Tight Nadine is played by Katharine Towne who was Sunday on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. She was also in Blades of Glory and Mulholland Drive. The shoplifting girl in the dressing room was played by Morgan Nagler and she was also in American Pie 2 and the TNG episode “Rascals” (when Picard, Ro, Guinan and Keiko become children) as an extra. I'd never seen this movie before and hadn't even heard about it until I first saw it mentioned here. It turned out to be better than I was expecting. I was a big follower of The X-Files but somehow managed to not notice that Duchovny was in this. He was also in Zoolander (which also came out in 2001): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs29qJn58FE

Holdenk

George, both Commissioned Officers and Enlisted can keep their uniforms when they exit service, regardless of what kind of discharge they have. Most military members have bought extra uniforms for their own after a few years in anyway and all the ranks and pins you have to buy yourself anyway. Just an fyi

2026-11-04 06:00 SHOW US YOUR CATS! 😆 I'm embarrassed I don't even remember asking that not a question. But update. Sassy (the momma cat) and Gandalf (he's grey) and Coraline and Keith are chilling. Keith gives not AF, walks among the dogs, he is the Dogwalker. Gandalf disappears, I think he passes through walls.

Not the Dude, just definitely a Lebowski, he's cool not that cool.

This is what landed Orlando Jones the 7-UP gig! (not factual)

Grumbles

Movie recommendation if no one has already. "Goon". It has a surprising director and main actor plays against type. Probably won't happen cuz the sequel was ho hum and not many people are going to jump at watching a hockey movie. But it's a fun watch.

Scurvyville

Always felt this film was like a lighthearted X-Files spinoff. Like what Mulder did after leaving the Bureau.

Terry

YES!!!! A underrated classic!!

Jean-Dominic Lapointe

So, apparently they didn’t get any money from Head’n Shoulders. They were mocking shameless product placement. But it definitely comes off as an ad for the shampoo

MeetMountain

Y’all have to watch George of the Jungle now. With Brendan Frazier

Axelle Echo

Hell yeah :) My top sick day movie, always kinda brightens my day

gfixler

I don't think they recognized Richard Moll, Bull Shannon of Night Court fame, the show that made Brent Spiner famous.

Scott CineRam

No, I suppose a movie star would not have their friends asking for autographs...they just take selfies for their instas! Selfies with celebrities are pretty much the modern autographs.

Christian Da Silva

Just finished watching this. You should definitely watch George of the Jungle with Brendan Fraser.... As per the trivia...

Jayson Phillips

think about it one of the Ghostbusters made this movie so might as well have Dan Akroyd

Snuggelbum

The definition of a mid movie. i will never really understand why people would want to watch this garbage.

Stephen as Moviebuff3000

I was a fan of his as a kid and it always bummed me out he seemed to hit his celling in the earlier 2000's and never recovered.

Lex Kuzma

I feel like you two need to see Dude, Where's my Car at some point.
