WE'RE JOINING THE MIDNIGHT MASS! ⛪ Hope you enjoy watching with us! Minus Blake, because he'll probably have his eyes closed. 🙈 Full length reaction available on our Patreon www.patreon.com/collection/726826 Come hang out in our Discord discord.gg/HQFtGkCf37
In the 2016 movie "HUSH" by Mike Flanagan. Starring his wife as a deaf writer being stalked she had written a book called "Midnight Mass". Jump to the movie "Gerald's Game" with Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood a copy of the book "Midnight Mass " is on the nightstand. Jump to the series "Midnight Mass" which is the story of the fictional book.
So, you can see the Lasser Glass in Gerald's Game(The mirror frame is the bed headboard), and also in this show, in Hill House, Bly Manor.. every work since Oculus!
@@RealBradMiller I dig it! He does it in such a way that your can watch the movie or show and still spot the Easter egg. There is a scene in the Fall of the House of Usher that is right from the Gerald's Game. /I think ep 1 or 2. It's glaring! But the haven't watched that yet so I'm a shut up.
Not a spoiler but context: This is Flanagans most personal project to date. He grew up as an altar boy in a community much like crocket, and later was struggling with alcoholism as well though he is sober now. The very first scene was one of his deepest fears regarding his drinking, taking someones life due to his addiction. He wrote Midnight Mass and refined it over years, it is more or less his personal magnum opus, and pitched it over and over, as others have said, you can see the book in his other movies like Hush or Geralds Game, but it was the huge success of Hill House that finally made it possible. Hill House is my favorite still and has made a huge impact on me but I gotta say this show is something special in a totally different way. Especially in the last episodes I literally had to sit in silence and process it, which rarely happens. Looking forward to re-experience it with you :)
This is similar to how I feel with the show. Hill House is my favourite of his work, but Midnight Mass shares the seat. It's a great piece of work, and I'm glad to have another excuse to revisit it again.
@@DKSean I always feel like Flanagan shows are almost wrong to rank- they’re similar enough that they feel comparable, but really, all of them are so different that you can’t really compare. In the end it really comes down to which story affects ypu personally more- familial bonds and trauma, different kinds of love and how memory shapes us, religion community and how we find purpose, and social critique of the ultra wealthy
Midnight Mass is my number 1 favorite TV show by Mike Flanagan, also Hamish Linklater plays the pastor so well and Zach Gilford was awesome in this too.
@@mandareborn well he acknowledged he didn’t want them to die. I was talking more about the woman cowering from the dog cause folks who aren’t cat people would do the same
@@ReelPiscesPlaysit’s normal for people to be afraid of dogs…not all dogs are harmful but people that try to act like all dogs are peaceful are stupid as fuck.
@ReelPiscesPlays listen idk if you've seen the damn show but that women isn't scared of that dog she's just a bitch. I think there's a difference in how Blake feels about cats and how she feels about what's his butts dog.
midnight mass is slower and more dialogue heavy than the other shows (in my opinion), and the vibe is unique as well. there’s less jumpscares and more existential horror. this one really makes you sit and think. see y’all in the crockpot👋
An albatross is a giant sea-bird (looks a bit like a seagull) which flies/glides for years (yes, years) over the open ocean. Sailors dreaded seeing an albatross because it meant they were still very far from land (before the invention of sea-worthy clocks, there was no way to tell longitude at sea, you can tell latitude by the stars, but this doesn't help in the Atlantic or the Pacific). To see seagulls meant you were near land, to see an albatross meant you were extremely far from land. Seeing an albatross was considered bad luck/a bad omen. From this, it is used in very deeply rooted western cannon to mean a giant burden that will drag you down and which you can't get rid of (the expression is 'to have an albatross around your neck').
where does this come from? because the metaphor goes back to Coleridges poem where the albatross following the ship out of port was a sign of good luck but someone shot the bird and out of shame was unable to speak; I looked that up years ago when it came up in Serenity, the movie that finishes the show Firefly, where the antagonist is called out after falsely referring to someone as an albatross in the sense of a bad omen; I mainly remember that it was Coleridge due to the significance of his poems in Douglas Adam's Dirk Gently's Holisitic Detective Agency I looked your claim up and Reuters did fact check that some 3 years ago (or more); Albatrosses only land on shore to breed and adult ones may spend a year a two away from shore; it also takes an Albatross about 6 six years to mature where this weird idea comes from; but they do land on water to feed; so no, they do not fly for years; but an albatross can fly and glide very far and circumvent the earth in 46 days
@@michaelklaus If you were lost at sea, would you be happy to see an albatross? - That's where it comes from. It certainly doesn't come from me. I've never been a sailor myself, and I've never even been to the southern hemisphere (where they are native). - But what would I, some random person on the internet, know?
Midnight mass is definitely my favorite work from mike flanigan Its hard to choose because all of his works are so different from each other while still being amazing themselves But this one is just amazing
I started re-watching Midnight Mass a couple of days ago in anticipation for this, just because I couldn't wait and to refresh my memory. I love this show. I'm so glad it's finally here, I look forward to the reactions and I hope you guys will have a good time with it!
OMG YEEEEEES! This show is so amazing! It’s my favorite of all the Flanagan shows! Very underrated, well acted. I can’t say more good things about it. Y’all will love it ❤
32:30 The first episode shows our main and side characters caught in a cat's cradle of faith and fear. It’s a cat-aclysmically crafted beginning that will cat-apult you into the cat-astrophic heart of this chilling tale.
The irony of claiming anyone who hates dog is an automatic red flag when Blake can’t even watch a cat just walk into frame of any movie/show without feeling the need to proudly announce how much he hates cats…how do you hate any animal? I’d argue that’s also a red flag 🤷🏻♀️
This show is a slow-starting fire, but once the flames catch, its a freakin bonfire. Great fully fleshed characters. Heavy on philosophy. One of the things i lve about reaction vids is hearing all the theories and knowing what's really happening. Its also great rewatching and cathcing all the clues i didn't get on the first watch.
Idk if you guys noticed, but the annoying lady was Steve's wife in Hill House. Excited for this journey. Midnight Mass is so different from the other two, but equally amazing in my opinion.
COJO I'm afraid of Demons and religion mixed. Corey I'm afraid of this and that, Igli I'm afraid of this, Blake I'm afraid of Blow Pops,Pop Tarts, Sand, Clean Sheets, and the Sun.
I am so excited for this. I can totally see the criticisms some folks have with Midnight Mass, but I absolutely adore it. The character acting is sublime. Can't wait to see more, and thanks for reacting to this! (And of course the Flanaverse in general. He's just so good and amasses so much phenomenal acting talent.)
ITS HAPPENING Also the flashes of strange proportions of Monsignor Pruitt in the storm is one of my absolute favourite Flanagan images ever. The horror of the uncanny used perfectly there
It varies depending on the state, but 10ish years seems to be a pretty standard sentence length for vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. And then, like most crimes, you can get out early with good behaviour so it's even shorter
You boys are so collectively smart!! So excited to go on this journey and equally glad you all recognized Bev for the GOAT that she is!! This is gonna be fun.. XO
The performance Hamish Linklater gives throughout this show is out of this world. I imagine it's hard to stand out in the company of the incredible talent Flanagan always has around him, and this guy really does just that. I dont think I'd seen him in anything besides The Newsroom, which is another fantastic show by the way, but while he was great in that the character he played wasnt as meaty as this one. I love what he does with Father Paul.
Bev is played by the actress who plays Leigh in Hill House she’s especially recognisable in the Hill House scene where she says”of course not because you haven’t written it yet “ same vibe
Same here! There is a small town nestled in a cliffside here in Ohio called Hanging Rock... Just dying to have a horror story written about it. I know there's an Australian story called Picnic At Hanging Rock, but that's more suspense/thriller.
I am BEGGING you guys. Don't forget about The Midnight Club, another, lesser known and talked about part of the Flan-iverse. Released between Midnight Mass and House of Usher. Put it on your list, I beg
at the beginning of the last bly manor episode they explained their plan to skip the midnight club unless there was high demand for it (verbatim, don’t quote me on that lol)
Midnight Mass and House of Usher are probably my favorite Flanagan series. Which is wild considering how good Hill House amd Bly Manor are. Start refreshing yourself now on some of Edgar Allen Poe's works before you get to Usher's House 😉😅
This is my favorite Flanagan project. I love all of them, but this one is something special and deftly handles some difficult, nuanced and beautiful topics. This show was weirdly healing for me in the way it handles some of the topics. Msgr. Paul Hill is my favorite character in all of the Flanaverse. That’s not a spoiler….a great character is great whether they’re villain or hero. He is written and performed impeccably. I can’t wait for this story to unfold for you guys.
I hope you guys go through his movies also, Oculus, Hush, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep (and The Shining, if you haven't already) and Before I Wake. Highly recommend the first few! Can't wait to see your reaction to this series. My personal favourite!
Hey guys, a good episode 1 reaction. I know some people have told u what an albatross is, but I don't know how much detail they gave. An albatross is a very large sea-bird that does resemble a seagull. Their wing span can be anywhere between 8.2- 11.5 ft, & their body length can be 3.3 ft or slightly larger. They are mainly found in the Southern Ocean & North Pacific. They can fly for 3yrs or more without touching ground. The albatross has been known as a symbol/metaphor for a heavy burden. I took the mentioning of the albatross not only symbolizing Riley's burden of guilt, but also the troubles of the dwindling town. Umm, the "lovely" Bev was on THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE. She portrayed Steve's wife, Leigh, if u didn't figure that out already.😊 O, us Catholics, we don't call our clergy preachers, we call them priests. Another name we have for them is father. Monsignor is a title given to a higher ranking clergyman like a bishop, archbisop & ect. Anyway, just wanted to clarify.😊
Flanagan's reckoning with religion and cults, mob behavior and mentally. Probably also his most important work to date. Frightening because it is so real. Great series, highest standards. Important things are questioned here. Midnight Club also belongs to the Flanagan series.
Yessss been waiting for this one to start. Midnight Mass is my all time favourite show (closely followed by True Detective season 1, which is another show you guys should watch!).
Wooooah gentlemen. Are you in for a very well conceived, written, cast, edited, location scouted, scored, produced, executed, acted and directed smalltown American Gothic treat. Next to Flanagan's Hill House, it's my very, very favorite Flanaverse story. Exactly the way I did with your Haunting of Hill House reactions, I'm edging/abstaining for 7 LONG weeks so I can binge watch your reactions when their all uploaded here at my leasure. Just popping into say I hope you ALL end up appreciating this series.🤞🤞🤞🤞 My sincerest condolences to Blake's peace of mind, and to Corey's calm demeanor getting jump scared AF. Especially that one episode.💀😵💫😵💫👍 Something to look forward to!😄👍
Midnight Mass is fanatstic! It is slow but the payout is very much worth it! The dialogues are long but so good and the actors are amazing. Especially Hamish Linklater (Pather Paul) and Samantha Sloyan, who plays Bev. She kills it, I have never hated and loathed another character as I did hers 🙂
HOW DARE YOU HATE CATS?? 🚩🚩🚩 How can you not love our cute little assholes? Anyone who "hates" cats has never been loved by one. Interesting how it's always the dog people that say they hate cats, but cat people never say we hate dogs. You're missing out on all those sweet kitties that are misunderstood 😩💔 and I hope one day you get the privilege of being loved by one. Best feeling in the world.

Out of all of the Flanagan shows, this is the one that I hope you manage to avoid spoilers for 🤞🏽
We must protect them at all cost.
Yeah I would highly recommend getting a moderator.
Or just ignore us until you’re done with the season. Lol
I think Blake already got spoiled for the fate of one of the characters, he mentioned it in one of the Hill House reactions iirc
The Cat Puns Hilarious 😂

I was gonna comment this. Also, in Hush, the writer's friend is the actress that plays Beverly (in MM, Steve's wife in Hill House).
I'd love for them to watch both Hush and Gerald's Game as well as other Flanagan movies
@@melissayoung465 And Doctor Sleep (after The Shining, of course)

@@sammygmarie I heard that he is gonna star in season 2 of Gen V.
@@thomasbaker2067oh I’m gonna start gen v soon!
I have such a crush on Hamish Linklater. He is such an incredible actor with charisma to spare.
@@paulinekeown2472 I came down to the comment section looking for Hamish love, he’s such a good actor, and so handsome ❤

Also Blake: Anyone that acts like that with a dog is a red flag.

Midnight mass is definitely my favorite work from mike flanigan
Its hard to choose because all of his works are so different from each other while still being amazing themselves
But this one is just amazing
Same here, I love all of his shows they are really awesome but Midnight Mass is my favorite. The acting is so on point
One of my favorite shows of all time.
The judge giving Riley’s sentence is Carla Gugino (Olivia from hill house and older Jamie in Bly). Real quick cameo from her
Omg soooo freaking glad you guys are doing midnight mass!!! This show is sooo under rated!
The rest of the pack not acknowledging Corey’s cat puns is not okay with me 😭😭
Hell yeah Midinight Mass, you guys arent READY!

My favorite show by Master Mike. Amazing dialogue and acting by the cast.
When someone says they hate cats, that's an automatic red flag.
lmao RAN to comment the same thing 😂
Literally came here to comment same thing. Not shocked it's Blake. 🚩🚩🚩
He’s a walking red flag lol
@@thetigerspot6863 what did he do?😭
I have 3 cats and I love them to death but I definitely understand why someone would say they hate them. They aren't for everyone that's for sure.
this one is a sleeper hit. im excited for you guys. :)
The pacing of this show is slow burn - like a Stephen King story. It is character driven and VERY well done.
Midnight Mass is one of the best shows of the decade and it's gonna be awesome to see you all figure it out haha
Blake was so fine before he said he didn't like cats
😂😂😋
Definitely lost some points there 😂
It’s wild to learn that Blake hates cats and Samwise Gamgee all in one day.
😂😂😂
Anyone who hates cats is a red flag. Just sayin 😂
facts
REAL
OMG YEEEEEES! This show is so amazing! It’s my favorite of all the Flanagan shows! Very underrated, well acted. I can’t say more good things about it. Y’all will love it ❤
Master Sergeant Pruitt is my favourite character in this show
Yeah. I hear he’s one of those militant Catholics, lol
32:30 The first episode shows our main and side characters caught in a cat's cradle of faith and fear. It’s a cat-aclysmically crafted beginning that will cat-apult you into the cat-astrophic heart of this chilling tale.
My favorite Flanagan series, surprising and with good characters.
I love the friendship between the four of you. It is very genuine and Not very common these days
disliking cats is a red flag 😈
Exactly. Humans dude… Yeesh.
This is going to be a mysterious and excellent month 😎
If not perfectly splendid 🧐
I love that the Hill House and Bly Manor cast reunited for this! A lot of faves from both series came back.

You can also see Paul carrying the chest off the boat the same day Riley arrives (if you know to look, which most people don't on the first viewing).
THATS CRAZY I literally just started to rewatch this limited series!! The absolute BEST!!
bro a guy hating cats says anybody hating dogs is a red flag?¿ anybody hating animals in general is a red flag, so Blake you too honey
As a Flanastan I am so excited to see you guys watching this one. It's my favorite of his.
It’s interesting how someone who says “I hate cats” is the biggest SCAREDY CAT. Cats are beautiful - and stop being terrified of your own shadow.
Idk if you guys noticed, but the annoying lady was Steve's wife in Hill House.
Excited for this journey. Midnight Mass is so different from the other two, but equally amazing in my opinion.
Super hyped for this one!
COJO I'm afraid of Demons and religion mixed. Corey I'm afraid of this and that, Igli I'm afraid of this, Blake I'm afraid of Blow Pops,Pop Tarts, Sand, Clean Sheets, and the Sun.
Omgggg I've been waiting months for this reaction!! 🤩 This is my favorite Mike Flanagan show!
I am so excited for this. I can totally see the criticisms some folks have with Midnight Mass, but I absolutely adore it. The character acting is sublime. Can't wait to see more, and thanks for reacting to this! (And of course the Flanaverse in general. He's just so good and amasses so much phenomenal acting talent.)
This was the first Flanagan show I watched and it’s still a favourite of mine. Enjoy!
This is my favorite of his shows. So excited to hear your hard reads.
ITS HAPPENING
Also the flashes of strange proportions of Monsignor Pruitt in the storm is one of my absolute favourite Flanagan images ever.
The horror of the uncanny used perfectly there
Loved the cat puns 😂
So pumped for this. My favorite Flanagan project.
Mike Flanagan tell me you're an ex-catholic without telling me you're an ex-catholic. I can sense kindred spirit from this man in this one.
It varies depending on the state, but 10ish years seems to be a pretty standard sentence length for vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. And then, like most crimes, you can get out early with good behaviour so it's even shorter
I’m very looking forward to this. Very different from the last too, but I think this is my favourite of the three!
15:19 The Karen lady you don't like was Steve's wife, Leigh, the doctor was Mrs Dudley, and the Judge was Olivia in Hill house.
My favorite Flanagan, enjoy and be ready for the tears
THE BEST FLANAGAN SHOW!!!!
You boys are so collectively smart!! So excited to go on this journey and equally glad you all recognized Bev for the GOAT that she is!! This is gonna be fun.. XO
Categorically cruel cat puns!🧐

Wow, this AMERICAN HORROR STORY on the way, so exciting your not even ready,

Yessss!!! The best Flanagan show!!! My favourite of all Flanagan shows!!! This is soooo amazing!!! Lets go!!
Igli is always catching strays
Corey, Blake at the end looked almost cat-atonic 😂😅😮
So soon! Exciting. Midnight Mass is a personal favourite, I love the setting and characters in this one.
I am BEGGING you guys. Don't forget about The Midnight Club, another, lesser known and talked about part of the Flan-iverse. Released between Midnight Mass and House of Usher. Put it on your list, I beg
I heard people saying it wasn't that good tho

So cool you guys are reacting to this. This show was freaky and super creative😨i think it will become a cult show someday.
This first episode was definitely the cat's pajamas. 👍😺
Great reaction ❤️ I enjoy watching with you guys 😉 I'm ready for more Midnight Mass next week 😊
I hope you guys go through his movies also, Oculus, Hush, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep (and The Shining, if you haven't already) and Before I Wake. Highly recommend the first few! Can't wait to see your reaction to this series. My personal favourite!
YAY! This one is SOO good!
Mike Flanagan is such a gift. He inspires me to write too, I am coming up with a movie plot including similar themes.
The cat puns were great and didn't get their dues!
Hey guys, a good episode 1 reaction. I know some people have told u what an albatross is, but I don't know how much detail they gave. An albatross is a very large sea-bird that does resemble a seagull. Their wing span can be anywhere between 8.2- 11.5 ft, & their body length can be 3.3 ft or slightly larger. They are mainly found in the Southern Ocean & North Pacific. They can fly for 3yrs or more without touching ground. The albatross has been known as a symbol/metaphor for a heavy burden.
I took the mentioning of the albatross not only symbolizing Riley's burden of guilt, but also the troubles of the dwindling town.
Umm, the "lovely" Bev was on THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE. She portrayed Steve's wife, Leigh, if u didn't figure that out already.😊
O, us Catholics, we don't call our clergy preachers, we call them priests. Another name we have for them is father. Monsignor is a title given to a higher ranking clergyman like a bishop, archbisop & ect. Anyway, just wanted to clarify.😊
Hallelujah!
Dat sheriff had a hold on me lol
It's the beard and the denim. Be careful!! 😂
Flanagan's reckoning with religion and cults, mob behavior and mentally. Probably also his most important work to date. Frightening because it is so real. Great series, highest standards. Important things are questioned here.
Midnight Club also belongs to the Flanagan series.
omg this is a really good one y'all. liked straight away
I love all of Mike Flanagan's work, but this and Hill House are my top two (followed closely by Fall of the House of Usher and Oculus.)
Made it to Midnight Mass boys. Y'all are in for a religious treat
I can’t wait for y’all to get to The Fall Of The House Of Usher!!
Ha,Ha Cojo thinking Paul could be the Devil, in a church of all places reciting the Bible, yeah that’s likely buddy. 😮😂😂😂😂
The cat puns…🙈🤣 If you guys don’t have mods, you need them for this show, cause NO SPOILERS!!
Letttss gooo 🎉 incredible show and the cast is phenomenal - especially Sloyan and Linklater’s performances ❤
Yay! This is my absolute favorite of Mike Flanagans work and one of my all time favorite shows.
The Flanagan-verse is great. You guys should really check out a few of his movies:
Hush
Oculus
Geralds Game
- all top tier movies.
I’m SO excited for this one! Such a great show
Yessss been waiting for this one to start. Midnight Mass is my all time favourite show (closely followed by True Detective season 1, which is another show you guys should watch!).
Wooooah gentlemen.
Are you in for a very well conceived, written, cast, edited, location scouted, scored, produced, executed, acted and directed smalltown American Gothic treat.
Next to Flanagan's Hill House,
it's my very, very favorite Flanaverse story.
Exactly the way I did with your Haunting of Hill House reactions, I'm edging/abstaining for 7 LONG weeks so
I can binge watch your reactions when their all uploaded
here at my leasure.
Just popping into say I hope you ALL
end up appreciating this series.🤞🤞🤞🤞
My sincerest condolences to Blake's peace of mind,
and to Corey's calm demeanor getting jump scared AF.
Especially that one episode.💀😵💫😵💫👍
Something to look forward to!😄👍
Midnight Mass is fanatstic! It is slow but the payout is very much worth it! The dialogues are long but so good and the actors are amazing. Especially Hamish Linklater (Pather Paul) and Samantha Sloyan, who plays Bev. She kills it, I have never hated and loathed another character as I did hers 🙂
Hill House is still my favorite Flanagan show, but Midnight Mass is a VERY close second. Excited to see your reactions to it!!
HOW CAN YOU HATE CATS
HOW DARE YOU HATE CATS?? 🚩🚩🚩
How can you not love our cute little assholes? Anyone who "hates" cats has never been loved by one. Interesting how it's always the dog people that say they hate cats, but cat people never say we hate dogs. You're missing out on all those sweet kitties that are misunderstood 😩💔 and I hope one day you get the privilege of being loved by one. Best feeling in the world.
Omg I am sooooooo excited for you guys
