I love a strong dude who is comfortable enough in himself to not be uncomfortable with my people (gays). You’re a gem and you’re now one of my fave reactors. Our clubs are 🔥. My brother also watches your reactions and loves them. Cheers and thanks!
My dad was a DJ & always said gay clubs have the best music. Truth.
I was wondering if you were going to like this or not. Some men aren't as open minded and genuine as you. Really enjoyed it. Also, your baby's voice is so soft - is he always that quiet?
Idl the aggressive ones,they make me feel uncomfortable…I’m like,I know I’m the papa bear you always wanted but,it’s a hard no.
"If you can't accept my people, you don't need to be here"
"I would be there acting extra gay".
J, I love you, but I have never loved you MORE than this reaction. My husband, who loves this movie, said "This is his best. This is great.".
Thanks for a hilarious, and genuinely loving reaction.
❤❤❤❤❤
agreed! J is the goat. man is build of love
As a gay man, I don't think our community could handle J acting extra gay. It would be like detonating an atomic bomb over the Ark of the Covenant.
@@theevilascotcompany9255BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Well, I would let THAT Ark melt my face off, for sure. Lmfao
The "Pirin" tablet censor has me dying! This is my favorite comedy of all time. Great reaction!
That gets a chef's kiss.
The Birdcage is a treasure. Lane and Williams have incredible chemistry, Dianne Wiest is so sweet, Christine F-ing Baranski!, and Hank Azaria falling down 🤣🤣🤣
Nathan Lane's hysterics are always a treat and Albert is always at 11.
Oh man, this movie is funny as hell. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane completely sold their relationship, it felt entirely real.
And every time I watch it I always remember my mother saying towards the end, "Gene Hackman is such an ugly woman", haha.
This movie deserves credit, solely because it's the only Robin Williams comedy where IMO he's not the funniest person in the movie. Nathan Lane and Hank Azaria steal every scene. LoL
@@EOMReacts - Agador Spartacus!
@@EOMReacts my favorite Robin Williams movies are the ones where he's restrained. He definitely lets Lane and Azaria be the wacky ones, except for the one scene where he gets to go nuts (the dance scene, Twyla! Twyla! Twyla!)
Robin Williams wasn't meant to fall with soup in the kitchen, which, to me, makes it even funnier seeing Agador crying but probably trying so hard not to die laughing 😂
As always, love the reactions, keep doing what you do ❤ ✌️
That whole scene was pure madness! I loved it! “Fuk the shrimp!!”
This is going to be epic introducing JL to Agador Spartacus!! This movie has always been a go to for when i need that feel good laugh.
Dude, Agador is my favorite character next to Nathan Lane's character. This movie is fall down funny.
Every moment with Hank Azaria has me grinning like an idiot! Agadore is so funny!
They each steal the show in their own individuals ways. Truly is one of my top ten. Watched it twice in the last 2 weeks. No matter how long it’s been on, if I see it, I switch to it.
Every time I have shrimp. F**k the shrimp 🍤
Hank Azaria claimed that he impersonated his grandma for Agador. My late and extremely conservative dad said that Val was the villain of this movie. As my mom has gotten older, she's turning more and more into Albert. A total drama queen!
Your lack of homophobia, your cute dogs, and your laugh just got you a subscriber!!
Welcome to the family!
This glorious man's laughter can cure anything
38:41 - this was the sweetest moment, when Val introduced him as his mother.
Anyone straight man who can be fucking comfortable with their own sexuality is a KING. GOAT.
Iconic, you rock.
The worst gay bashers are actually closeted homosexual. No real straight man hates gay people just for hating.
If you haven't seen it, consider reacting: "To Wong Foo, thanks for everything. Julie Newmar"
It's a drag queen comedy with Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes.
Yes! Such an amazing movie.
One of my top favorite movies 🫶🏾💜
It's a pale imitation of 'Priscilla: Queen of the Desert' (1994).
"I have never seen her this young!"
Christine Baranski has always been a stunner. For one from the year before this - The Ref, with Kevin Spacey and Dennis Leary. It's a Christmas movie!
OMG The Ref is sooo good. I adore Judy Davis.
That movie needs so much more love. Easily one of the funniest things I've ever seen. My family and I watch it every Christmas.
@@christopherschreiber5805 it's easily been over a decade since I last saw it but I still think of some of Baranski's line deliveries 🤣🤣🤣
@@LordVolkov “Slipper socks! Medium!”
J would love The Ref. I hope that movie gets on the list.
The cap on Nathan's head is how drag queens attach wigs to their heads so they don't fall off.
Hank Azaria who plays Agador does a bunch of the voices on The Simpsons.
The scene where Robin falls with the pot and says fuck the shrimp.wasnt supposed to happen but he fell and just kept going.
This a remake of a 1978 French film called La Cage aux Folles which was based on a play.
Nathan Lane recently gave an interview where he talked about when he and Robin went on Oprah to promote the movie and Oprah started asking how he was so good at the "girl things" and he hadn't come out yet so Robin diverted the conversation away from that topic to protect Nathan.
I think it also had tape on the sides to pull back his skin for an "instant facelift," right?
Rip to Robin Williams the absolute with no question G.O.A.T. He is so much to watch in everything he’s in. Also Nathan Lane is amazing in this as well.
Also shout out to Hank Azaria as Agador he stole so many scenes.
Agador falling because he has shoes on is the best 😂 can't wait for your reaction
"Perfect."
Seeing you reacting to this so nonchalantly and accepting gives me hope in humanity, especially since I'm from the community.
We’re all one community on this channel no matter what, and it’ll always be that way.
Glad you enjoyed the reaction
Hell.. I'm not really directly part of the community (I'm boring as hell... Cis her white dude.. Save for the autism and deafness lol) and it makes me happy to see another dude just watching this movie as what it is.. A screw ball family film
Man I’m excited for this one! Robin and Nathan were such a good duo in it.
"You better WORK it girl!"
Oh, crap......I spit Pepsi out my nose.
The ending is the best part but I gotta admit I loved it when you started dancing with your dogs it's amazing how much they can sense when you're upset and the difference between how they react at those times but at The Times that they can sense your happiness they get excited and they want to be involved in whatever's going on lol😂
I grew up with this movie, it’s a treasure to me. Can I just say I love your support for Robin Williams and Nathan Lane’s characters and the condemnation of Val’s behavior? I mean the 90s were a different time but still - he went above and beyond to make Albert feel othered and it’s so awful. Anyway…thank you for loving this movie!
When the shneckin beckins!
Nathan Lane was perfect he should have gotten an Oscar for this role and Robin Williams
Originally the studio wanted Steve Martin to play Robin Williams role and Robin Williams to play Nathan Lane's role. But Steve Martin couldn't join the film because he was making Sgt. Bilko and Robin Williams didn't want to dress up like a woman again, after making Mrs. Doubtfire and asked to play Armand, instead.
That would be fun to watch, but Williams/Lane can't be topped IMO
i LOVE that you watched this and that you enjoyed it so much! and thank you so very much for understanding and agreeing with every single important point. also, your co-pilots sure do get excited when you dance, don’t they 😂
I saw this in the theater when it was released. In 96. In INDIANA AS A GAY GUY. It was way more fun watching it with you than it was watching it with the homophobes in the theater. I always thought you were a good guy and the way you were pissed at the son just confirmed it a million fold. You're always hilarious in your reactions, keep up the great work!
J up here spitting facts!! I think we're all pissed at Val for the main portion of this movie. I do feel for Armond for being torn between doing everything you can for your kid and his partner but step back. Dude, she's 17...
On a more serious note... WE NEED MORE GUATEMALA-NESS, THAT NATURAL HEAT!
One of my favorite movies!! If I'm in a bad mood, this is guaranteed to make me laugh and cheer me up. No matter how many times I watch The Birdcage, Hank Azaria slays me!! He steals the show!!
Same!! Perfect movie to get out of a funk ❤❤😊
John Wayne did walk very strangely. .
Albert is Nathan Lane. He is so talented. (Timon in Lion King.) Hope you someday watch Mouse Trap.
This movie is a masterpiece... and it really comes down to the acting in my opinion. Everyone nailed their parts and the comedic timing was gold. Special shoutout to Nathan Lane (Albert)... it's HARD to play opposite Robin Williams because he always steals the show. But I think this is one film where Robin Williams was not the star of the show. That's due to the incredible acting from Nathan Lane.
Also, want to give some props to you personally... as a gay person, to sit and watch a straight man view and enjoy a film like this warms my heart. No judgment, no fear... just enjoying it for what it is. I also thought you had all the appropriate reactions and it was great how visibly angry you got at the idea that they were being asked to hide who they were. I think that says a lot about your character and morals. Bravo!
If I'm sick or feeling down this is my go to. My mother and I will always sit down to watch this together when it's on and without fail we laugh until we cry every time. It stands the test of time, truly
I thought the same thing about Albert’s impression of John Wayne’s walk when I first saw this movie. I had seen a number of John Wayne’s films and was certain I would know it. However, I watched one of Wayne’s films a few days later and damn it if he doesn’t walk just that way. I don’t know if it’s cuz he is so tall and long legged or what, but he does have a creeping little sway to his movements. Go watch him again and be amazed at how he can make that silly walk cool and tough. Loved the reaction and love your channel!
Nathan Lane and Robin Williams are Comedy Gold! "When the shnacken beckons" 😂
This movie is a classic. Robin, Nathan and Hank are absolutely brilliant in it. Love this movie.
You know their Butler, Hank Azaria is the guy behind most of the voices on the SIMPSONS
This is such an underrated movie. I’m so excited for this reaction that I better take my Pirin tablets.
You're gonna LOVE the censor for this one. LoL
Hank Azaria (housemaid) does a lot of the voices for the Simpsons, include Moe and Chief Wiggams. He did the voice for Apu, the convenience store owner, until backlash against the character caused him to stop doing it. He's a very talented voice actor. Thanks for reacting!
When the schneken beckons is my favorite line!
Agador is one of the greatest characters ever in any film!! I will never not laugh at everything he says.
The dinner plate scene makes me laugh til I cry - every single time. Love this movie - and it was so fun watching it with you. Happy Easter - from Canada!
I’ve recently discovered you and your gorgeous doggies 🐶 🐕 and have been binge watching you over the last few weeks. You’ve made me laugh and cry with your reactions. The Birdcage is one of my favourite movies so when I found you had reacted to it I was so excited! And you didn’t disappoint. You dancing along at the end credits with your lovely little dog had me grinning from ear to ear 😬 You are fab! ❤
Welcome to the family and glad you’re enjoying!
Hank Azaria is Helen Hunt's ex and is the 'House Man' in this legendary movie. He's beyond talented with many credits behind his name including character voices for The Simpsons and Family Guy.
Can't wait. One of my favorite movies. Whole cast is amazing ❤
This is one of my favorite movies. Your “pirin” tablet that you put as a bleep had me rolling 😂😂😂😂
I love Hank Azaria SO MUCH DAMN 👏👏👏
One of my all-time favorite comedies!Your laugh at Nathan Lane trying to learn to be manly was just like his laugh😂
Hank Azaria and Nathan Lane were brilliant!
To me, this says it all about Robin's humanity..
Nathan Lane says he wasn’t ready to publicly come out of the closet when The Birdcage opened in 1996, and co-star Robin Williams helped him dodge the issue during an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
“I was not prepared at all for that,” Lane said in an interview on NBC’s Sunday Today with Willie Geist yesterday, “and I certainly wasn’t ready to go from table-to-table and tell them all I was gay. I just wanted to talk about finally [getting] a big part in a movie, and I didn’t want to make it about my sexuality.”
The Birdcage is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I recommend Hedwig and the Angry Inch for future viewing. Keep on.
The irony of signing Can You Feel The Love Tonight and Nathan Lane being one of the voice actors to sing this in Lion King 😂😂
agador spartacus is my all time favorite movie character
This is such a great movie to react to! It's kinda forgotten but definitely a gem. It's based on the stage musical, La Cage Aux Folles. The story line is exactly the same. Robin Williams is at his best here. Nathan Lane who played Albert is one of the greatest musical theatre performers of all time. He's a legend in that scene. Lane rarely does movies but when he does, he shines. He said recently that Robin Williams protected him from people who pressured him to come out as gay. It had so much impact on him.
Words cannot express how much I love this channel.
This is such a fantastic movie. The performances by Robin and Nathan are absolutely perfect and Hank Azaria really took his performance to another level.
Great film, great fun. I loved that the Co-pilots were so excited at your dance moves! 😊
@JL This was worth the wait, everyone kills it but Nathan Lane just devours his scene's. Thank you for this :). Happy Easter to you the EOM staff, and everyone else. Was a fun smile filled reaction.
It's truly one of the greatest tragedies that we never got to see these characters again. I always wanted a sequel to this.
STILL my favorite reactor! Dancing with your copilot to an older song that brings back the energy of those days is what I do with my copilot, except mine is a cat who thinks he's an opera singer, hrnce he's Andre Botticelli.
@evanirvana500
My beloved Tybalt was an Opera Cat too but he saved his best performances for car rides. Full blown Operatic Mode began the moment the car started moving & didn't stop until the car stopped...& it increased in volume & vibrato with every mile.
I knew he wasn't a happy camper but I couldn't help but laugh. He never held it against me though, he was too sweet & loving to do that.
Your comment immediately brought those memories back.
Thank you.💙🌿💙
Hey J, you bein' worried about getting terms and stuff right at the beginning was very sweet. I wanted to thank you. ♥
I cannot wait to see this reaction! Hank Azara is the best in this!
To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything. That's another one to react to. Similar themes, and you'll like To Wong Foo more.
The most ultimate
BE YOURSELF
movie, ever made lol
Nathan Lane told that Robin Williams was incredible person. Robin knew Nathan wasn´t ready to openly come out of closet yet, when interviewer (I am not sure if it was Oprah or someone else famous) asked Nathan how He was able to act so well as gay person. He was so scared during that and Robin swoops into rescue and directs question away. This tells so much Robin as a incredible and kind soul he was. He surely is missed.
I adore this film, but I’ve always loathed Val. He was a selfish prick. However if not for that, we wouldn’t have had the best parts of this movie 😂
My mom took me and my two sisters to see this in the theater, I was only 6 but I still have vivid memories from it. It's always a nostalgia trip watching it, I am glad to see another fan.
Nathan Lane is y I fell in love wit this movie. Robin Williams is y I stayed. I LOVE ur reactions to this movie
In the "my Guatemalenese" scene, Agador was acrually wearing a g string, the denim shorts were "digitally" added in later cuts of the movie.
So glad you liked this movie. Now everyone is going to recommend To Wong Foo, which is a good movie, but it is a remake/retelling of an amazing Australian movie called "The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert". I always recommend Priscilla first as it is just the better movie.
One of my all time fav films, and I absolutely loved watching you react to it.
This is a great movie. Perfect cast.
Yes his son was wrong for asking him to be someone he’s not, but robin williams is his dad and parents make sacrifices to help their kids no matter what
38:38 Most wholesome moment! Brings me to tears. Never seen this movie, my wife suggests we watch it and tbh wasn't thinking of it. Now, I may have to watch it. Had to prove so much to my wife's parents that I was a good man for her. Took many years and tons of patience.
“I don’t know how to be anyone but me.”
I know you were just chatting, but those are some very wise words.
I’m a straight female, but I’m like… weird. I dunno what it is, but I have VERY rarely ever fit in anywhere. I know I sound like a pick me girl, and I don’t mean it that way. It’s not quirky or mysterious or cool. It’s freaking lonely. So I spent my youth trying to adapt. I’d find a group and try to fit in. But I was always on edge and it never came across as real. You know what it’s like to be with people who are supposed to be your best friends and be afraid to walk across the room the wrong way or order the wrong pizza toppings or especially say the wrong thing?
Took me til my mid thirties to find people I can be myself around and, oh, do I love them!
But here’s the thing. I was never not myself. You can’t BE someone else. All I was was nothing.
Won’t ever do that again. I’d rather be on my own. At least I’d get along with the company.
One of my favorites!
The scene where Robin Williams falls with the soup is an actual blooper that made it into the movie. You can tell they are all covering laughing at the end.
You know "Cheers"??!? Then you MUST watch / react to "Frasier", which is the award winning spin-off sitcom from that show. David Hyde Pierce plays his fussy brother, which the characters of this movie remind me of. He also won an Emmy for his role in that show. It's very well-written and hilarious..... you will LOVE it, I promise!
I love how your dogs rocked out with you at the end. :)
Best reactor on UA-cam hands down!!!! All day and twice on Sunday! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love you!
🙌
@@EOMReacts maybe some day you could react to a movie called fried green tomatoes. I think you will love it to bits! I know you get thousands of requests so just maybe one day.❤️
The BIRDCAGE holds a special place in my heart as it is, without a doubt, my all-time favorite comedy. I was fortunate enough to discover this cinematic gem at the tender age of 10 in the movie theater when I had the pleasure of watching it alongside my beloved grandmother. From that moment on, it swiftly captured the hearts of not just myself, but my entire family, solidifying its status as a cherished film within our household. The sheer brilliance of its dialogues resonated so deeply with us that we found ourselves frequently quoting them in our daily lives, bringing a touch of humor and joy to even the most mundane of moments.
Amid the quarantine, where uncertainty and isolation loomed large, The BIRDCAGE served as a comforting refuge for me. I sought solace in its familiar scenes and endearing characters, finding solace in the laughter it never failed to elicit. I must confess, I have indulged in the pleasure of watching this film approximately 20 times during this period of seclusion. Each viewing only reaffirmed the notion that this movie is akin to a warm, nourishing meal for my soul, providing a much-needed respite from the challenges and anxieties of the outside world. I would never be ashamed if Albert was my mother Witnessing Albert's unconditional love and care towards Val is truly remarkable.
I'm a huge fan of the original and I was dismayed when I heard they were making an American version. Boy was I wrong! This is a great movie and has held up over the years. Now he needs to watch Too Wong Foo and have his mind completely blown my Wesley Snipes and Patrick Swayze.
when I was going thru my job school in the Navy, we always went to the gay bars in San Antonio because we KNEW that the gay clubs were the most fun and most turnt out of all of them. so glad you feel the same way, man!
Knew you’d love this. It’s so good! Great reaction
Can you do "To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar"? That has Patrick Swayze and Westley Snipes in drag.
Your 🕺 dancing was amazing at the end 👏😁
Man your puppies almost make me wish I had dogs again! they are hilarious with you! I'm too old and I couldn't stand to go through the loss again. I can see you love your pups very much. That was my problem too lol!
The film was hilarious. And all the acting top notch. Robin Williams with Nathan Lane were just fabulous together. Cheers.
Co-pilot is so lost, but absolutely supporting the dancing and we love to see it :D
I'm with you, if I thought my family would have issues with my SO's gender/sexuality/whatnot, I'd tell my SO about that and that they were under no obligation to have anything to do with the family
Another of my favourite movies! How do you do it? Grabbing popcorn and cat ...
Edit: About the cat - I told her the movie was called The Birdcage, and now I don't have the heart to set her straight. Luckily, by the time it's over, she'll have forgotten all about it.
Edit 2: Watching Armand trying to teach Albert how to be "manly" reminded me of Wylie Burp and Fievel trying to teach Tiger how to act like a dog.
Nathan Lane and Robin Williams KILLED it in this. So funny!
just an amazing movie. its a great watch no matter how many times you watch it. there are so many great moments in this movie. Robin and Nathan killed it.
i loved every part of this reaction! Pirin potty mouth, how much you liked the characters, your dogs.... The bookend of Nathan Lane in suit and Gene Hackman in drag dancing and singing together. and Hank Azaria totally showed his physical comedy chops here. He and Williams and Lane were all very gifted voice actors, amazing catalog of characters between all of them....
Not enough people, even film buffs, know or appreciate how The Birdcage's utterly fantastic techniques and how wonderfully it was made on every technical level for being such a seemingly simpler comedy. I'm not talking about the storyline or acting, both of which are great and underappreciated, but the camera movement and choices are S-tier.
You know how there are some reactors that you enjoy even if you don’t care for the thing they’re reacting to? He’s that for me. I don’t care what he’s watching he makes it fun and I look forward to lmao when he posts. ♥️ but I do like this movie too lol.
This is one of my favorite movies from back in the day! So funny!
Absolutely brilliant with so many excellent Actors.
If laws they're passing in some states keep getting worse, this great, funny movie will be illegal to view.
Sadly, not an insane thought.
I have so many found memories of this movie. So glad you enjoyed it just as much as I do. Its a go to when I need to laugh. Totally not surprised that this will go into your regular rotation.
Fun reaction! Such a terrific film. Everyone in the cast is perfection.
I'm so happy you are watching his movie. ❤
So glad you loved this movie J :) I miss Robin Williams so much!!
Ty I'm definitely watching this all night over and over!
Stoppp I was dancing with my dog when the credits were rolling and looked up to see you dancing with yours too 🤣🤣🤣 ah love your reactions! This movie is one of my favorites ❤
Man there isn’t a movie or genre I don’t enjoy watching with you. Great movie and great reaction. Thanks for sharing with us, dude.
