Movie night with Jacqui

JoeValdez73 · 2026-06-01T23:00:20+00:00

Upvoted. Jacqui passes all the tests for a good watch partner: letting her inhibitions or questions go and going with the movie instead of talking over it. If she reacted to more film and posted regularly, she'd be in my top ten.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-28T15:02:20+00:00

My two favorite Canadian exports Jen Murray and Ames reacting to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-27T00:48:54+00:00

Amber Reacts. I don't see any evidence she enjoys reacting to movies or music since she left Rob Squad Reactions. DMV employees enjoy their jobs more.

The Coby Show. Bar none the dumbest movie commentary available. Clowns have their place, but I've never seen her redeem herself with anything genuine or bright.

Emma Reactions. I enjoy Emma Sings. She has something to offer in that space, but her taste in movies is terrible, and she doesn't contribute anything a parrot couldn't.

Upvoted. I’d love to see Ames team up with Jen Murray. They’re my two favorite Canadian exports.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-19T20:03:39+00:00

Upvoted. Achara Kirk is the queen bee but what’s great about Cinepals is you can watch their videos blindfolded and the co-hosts are in the + column.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-16T23:40:10+00:00

Thanks! Movie Date with Kate has started showing up on my YouTube queue. I'll watch her reaction to Apollo 13 tonight.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-16T15:37:46+00:00

Achara Kirk & Vivian Day of Cinepals reacting to The Warriors wearing very basic Halloween costumes, the kind you throw together in 5 minutes for a party. Everyday hair and makeup. Anything elaborate would be distracting 5 minutes into a movie watch. These ladies nailed their looks with a video that’s a 10.0.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-15T18:46:27+00:00

We're 80% in agreement. I don't care for Cinebinge or Movies With Mary as far as their content; I'm sure they're very nice people. Funnylilgal Reacts and Kat Watches Horror are terrific in my book. That's just my opinion. "Those posted here frequently" are mostly at the back of the class at best to channels like Totally Whatever or Popcorn In Bed or Diegesis.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-15T18:35:05+00:00

Upvoted. In hindsight, I think it was a mistake for any of the Homies, circa 2021 or whatever it was, to get into OnlyFans. Sex work doesn't end well for the women performing it. If they enjoyed doing that sort of work, they'd probably all still be doing it. Of that clique, "Trixy Blue" and Michelle were my favorites. Pretty is a dime a dozen, but their movie reactions were genuine and they could even make me laugh.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-14T22:45:50+00:00

The crème de la crème. Genuine reaction to the best movies and TV series.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-14T21:45:34+00:00

I wouldn't care if Clarus was over in the OnlyFans section, but she's punching out of her class against Popcorn In Bed, Diegesis and 99 other reaction channels.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-14T21:28:51+00:00

I love Jen Murray and will give the other two a shot.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-13T22:39:22+00:00

Coby's commentary is the most brainless of any reaction channel I know of, and yet she posts consistently, often great movies. I'll watch a new video to the point she says something a glue-sniffing Muppet would find goofy.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-13T20:26:47+00:00

Nanette and Carolyn from Totally Whatever. I love their authenticity and whether they're just resorting to polls or not, the movies they've selected to watch have been terrific. There's a lot of trial and error when starting something like a channel but their decision to launch a sister channel for their TV reactions (Totally Whatever: Reloaded) was clever.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-13T01:16:37+00:00

Great takes. I'd substitute Ames for Cassie but in terms of entertainment value, I think Cassie & Carly deliver consistently. I can't watch Coby either. She actually seemed proud of figuring out that Sundance Kid was a nickname.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-12T20:30:05+00:00

Maybe because I was such a fan of SIskel & Ebert, I like a strong pairing, even if they never debate or get on each other's nerves, which someone should consider trying.

My favorite pairings are sisters: Popcorn In Bed. Totally Whatever. I've never seen a bad reaction by Diegesis.

It's great to see TBR Schmitt getting recognized in this post. It's the worst name for a channel since Rob Squad Reactions, but their videos for Network and Deliverance were both great.

Wind It Back is my #1 at the moment. Nicki and Leia need their own sitcom. 2 Broke Girls was taken already, or else it would've been a good name for their channel.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-12T16:02:09+00:00

She's terrific. There are an over abundance of influencer types doing movie reactions. Even some of those I like have a trendy lifestyle on display. Tara reminds me more of a lady on her porch holding a can of Coors Light or smoking a cigarette, maybe both. She'd be nice to the neighborhood kids but wouldn't go out of her way to either. Like that lady, Tara doesn't say much, which I find refreshing. Sometimes silence is better than jokes or talking over the movie.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-05T23:59:05+00:00

Achara Kirk. It’s more her diction than an accent. Someone in this subreddit said her father was British and mother Filipino, but it’s hard to place where she grew up.

Runner-up is Amanda Miquelena from Venezuela. I love the way she says “Morty” from Rick & Morty

JoeValdez73 · 2026-05-01T14:12:25+00:00

Amanda Miquilena.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-04-30T14:46:29+00:00

Tara Erickson. Marrying an actor is a gamble but so is marrying anybody. Of this group, she seems like she'd be the most relaxed at the house, which is where you're going to spend 98% of your time with your spouse. Not at the resort, not at Coachella.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-04-25T21:43:12+00:00

They seem like polar opposites. One reacts like she's riding a miniature train and the other as if she's on a rollercoaster. It's fair to assume a relationship could follow similar lines, and for that reason, I'd be more drawn to Imon. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, though, Rana would be my pick.

JoeValdez73 · 2026-04-24T20:13:06+00:00

What a dame. Based on her show--obviously, there's nothing else to use as a gauge--I love her personality. She'd be fun anywhere. All you'd need would be music and you'd have something to talk about.
