in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
Howdy, gang! I've been getting more and more comments about my absence and I figured I'd make a post here.
I've been having a rough time for about a month and I'm pretty much at an all time low mentally. I'm just not motivated to do anything, not only on this channel but just in life in general.
Hoping it blows over sooner than later.
I didn't want to record anything in this state and be mopey on camera. It also explains the lack of comment responses lately.
Thank you all for still watching and commenting on the back catalog. I still read everything.
Not sure when I'll post again. Could be this week, could be next month. Just want to make sure I'm in the right headspace.

What's the next sequel I should react to?
I came close to watching Lethal Weapon 2 yesterday, but Popcorn in Bed released hers so I figured we should do another sequel that maybe doesn't get much (if any) reaction attention.
btw The Golden Child is edited and ready to go, but it's locked up in copyright. Should be out tomorrow-ish.
*Secret shortlist for anyone who read this post.*
- Real Genius
- Police Academy
- True Romance
- Hotdog...The Movie
- Lethal Weapon 2

What should Friday's reaction be?
Later today I'll have Revenge of the Nerds going live and I plan to do One Crazy Summer for next week, but I'd like to space those out with something slightly different.
All of these are high on my list so I'm excited regardless. They've all came from recommendations as well!

Hey, gang! This week I have LETHAL WEAPON and IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE coming.
Making this post cause WB blocked Lethal Weapon so I'm waiting for it to clear up. It's a Wonderful Life will come out 2 days after Lethal Weapon. So maybe Thursday and Saturday?
A couple other reactors I follow did both of these this week, but it's purely coincidence I think crossover during holidays are inevitable.
In any case, I'll finally be doing the highly requested BETTER OFF DEAD after Christmas which I don't see a ton of people reacting to and one winter themed horror movie that will hurt my horror cred. 😂 I've got excuses that I'll explain in that one.
RAMBO 3 update for those of you who ask about it, the newest version got a takedown notice so I'll try again soon. Paramount can be boneheads sometimes.
Anyway, thanks for the love on all the reactions lately. Really appreciate it.
Happy holidays everyone, safe travels to anyone visiting family.
All the best,
Jay
Didn't mean to sign this off like a Christmas card, but here we are.

Warner Bros are being weenies, bro! A Christmas Story is blocked but I'm making some adjustments so hope I can get it up tonight or tomorrow. I knew reactions would be problematic for copyright but lately it's been way worse. My first 20+ videos had no issues at all and now every one gets hit. I don't know how some channels can show the same scenes that I'm getting blocked for, the inconsistency of enforcement is aggravating.

This week on YouTube we've got the GOTG HOLIDAY SPECIAL and A CHRISTMAS STORY!
Took time away from my Marvel Snap addiction to finally watch the holiday special and it's so wholesome! Drax & Mantis need another spinoff 😂.
A Christmas Story one I know very little about. Maybe a leg lamp or something? I have no context. I do know the raccoon hat guy is Zack Ward who I've watched in a bunch of stuff.
Recommend some holiday movies to watch! I've got a few on my list like It's a Wonderful Life, Die Hard, Love Actually (my friend keeps recommending this one, let me know if it's worth reacting to).
I've looked at a bunch of "best Christmas movie" lists and I've actually seen quite a lot somehow. 😂

As some of you know, I took a week off and flew from Canada to Arizona for a "vacation".
The reality is I was helping on the set of a new Nightmare on Elm Street fan film as the key grip! The movie is called Dylan's New Nightmare which is a sequel to Wes Craven's New Nightmare.
Miko Hughes reprises his role as Dylan but he's almost unrecognizable, as he was a child actor back in the 90s! I'm sure many of you are familiar: Gage from Pet Semetary, the most memorable kid from Kindergarten Cop, Full House, Mercury Rising, and then slightly older in SPAWN!
Also appearing are Friday the 13th alum, Ron Sloan and Cindy Kania, as well as Dave McRae as Freddy!
Miko's all grown up now and it was amazing watching him work. A few of us shared an Airbnb, so it was cool to just review footage with him and the crew and pal around.
The trip was great, the shoot was incredible, and I wanted to share some of the early images from the film which will be out in 2023. Edit: YouTube really butchered the image quality on desktop, wowzers!
Many thanks to my buddy, the writer and director, Cecil Laird of @TheHorrorShowChannel for the opportunity.
Anyway, hope those that celebrate Thanksgiving are enjoying the day! Stay tuned for tomorrow for a reaction of the wildness that is Kung Fu Hustle!

Heyo! I'm back from my journey to Arizona it was a amazing and I'll share more when I'm allowed to post the first still but I promised I'd try to get ahead with things, so I immediately started filming!
It's a real mix bag but the following reactions have been shot and will start trickling out next week!
- Dutch
- Porky's
- Rambo: Last Blood (finally!)
- Ski School
- Kung Fu Hustle
Even though I've got a couple popular ones in here, 2 of these will be the first movie reactions on all of YouTube! I'm still keeping it real, not trying to chase trends, and making sure to actually cover movies that people recommend.
Can't wait for all these to come out, you're gonna love them. I'm a bit tipsy on Last Blood, and I think that was a good call. 😂
Thanks for your patience, I'm back in the saddle and I'll do my best to be more consistent.

Happy Halloween everyone! Hope you had a great weekend and watched or participated in something spooky. Just wanted to drop a little update.
I got a last minute invite to help out on the set of a horror film so I'll be gone for a bit while we shoot. My inconsistency on this channel drives me nuts, but I'm hoping to get back on track in the coming weeks when I get back from the shoot.
Just finished filming my Stand By Me reaction which will more than likely come out this Wednesday instead of Tuesday because it's Halloween and I'd rather eat pumpkin pie and watch a couple horror movies instead of editing all night. 😂
Speaking of Stephen King, Green Mile is still high on the list from the winning poll but it's a bit too long for me to edit it properly before I leave.
Anyway, hope all is well and we'll chat soon!

Sorry, gang. No reaction today. 😔 Have a couple time sensitive videos to get out this weekend for my other channels but I'll be back next week with a throwback that ties into two recent themes, vampires and Eddie Murphy!

Howdy, I'm Jay! I've decided to start watching and reacting to movies that I've never seen (and maybe some that I have but can't recall). I'm a lifelong horror fan and for several years I almost exclusively watched horror movies (and the MCU!) so I missed out on many popular movies and franchises.
Join me as I discover all the gems that I've been missing!
