FIRST TIME WATCHING: The Penguin S1E1

Hey folks!

Hope you all had a great weekend! I must say, this show has already surprised me. Consider me intrigued...

Here is this week's schedule, for those who are curious:
MON: The Penguin S1E1
WED: Poll
THU: The Penguin S1E2
FRI: My Neighbor Totoro (Patreon Exclusive)

I have to pull back slightly on content because of the upcoming film festival and travel next weekend. We basically will be in the city working for most of this week. So I'll be releasing just 2 episodes and 1 movie for a bit as I try to juggle life stuff.

As always, thank you for your support here on Patreon. Until the next one, take care and stay golden :)

Original Series: The Penguin

Comments

This is such a great reaction, I only just started watching it, gonna watch a new episode tonight. Even if it does not do very well I think people will still appreciate it on YouTube. Thanks for all the great content!

yeah that's a timezone issue, USA is 75% slower than the rest of the worlds time.

Peter Amet

So, because I'm in the EU, the only version of this I have is through Sky Atlantic. But it seems like Nat's version is going significantly slower than mine. Like, all the same stuff seems to be there. But it keeps going wildly out of sync, like hers is going .75 the speed of mine.

Thank you for caring enough to respond to me. U have no idea how exciting this is for me. I definitely understand that December. Thanks, I'm doing well. In addition to u and Ashleigh, I watch Cassie and Carly, cinebinge, addie and Vicky. I understand about the virtual thing not being ur bag. I like the personal touch too. Blake also doesn't like being on camera either. I'm socially awkward and have social anxiety. I'm also an introvert and on the autism spectrum. Yet I'm still good. Lol. I hope u will finish fast and furious. U should also do mission impossible. I know you must be busy preparing for your trip, so you have a good time. I love supporting you. U keep me company, much like the others. Happy holidays. Until next watch-along, Stay Golden. 🙂

dieselbeast

i’m a HUGE fan of The Batman it’s one of my favorite movies… not super interested in penguin as a character tho 🤷‍♂️

Lawson

Super enjoyed watching this first episode with you Natalie! Looking forward to more. :)

Logan Kerlee

google failed me lol

Natalie Gold

I'm just taking a break from two movies/per week for now as December is insanely busy for me. I do hope to get back to 2 movies at some point when things die down. I'm sorry to hear about the tough times you went through, Beth. I hope things are much better now, and I'm glad my videos (and Ashleigh's) could give you a nice escape. I adore Ashleigh and really want to collaborate with her! I hope to make it down to Nashville soon and do the collaboration in person. I just don't love the idea of doing a virtual collaboration. Tyler on the other hand, doesn't love being on camera haha. Thanks for your support and Happy Holidays!

Natalie Gold

ugh I'm sorry! Dang max...

Natalie Gold

I already ADORED Cristin Millioti so not surprised haha

Natalie Gold

lol I have no idea

Natalie Gold

I have been waiting for this to drop Thank you for picking it... I haven't seen any yet so it will be my first viewing also. Can't wait to see if it's worth the hype

Snacky Munchies

hey nat you are doing just fine loving the content

Crispin

I wanna know exactly what you Googled that made it say there were 11 episodes 😅

XanderWhat

Natalie is going to love Sofia. Not going to say anymore more lol

Redrum Ritual

What's so annoying with Penguin is that it has adverts when shown in the UK and such a pain to try and synch up :)

Andrew Dickinson

We ever getting back to peaky blinders?

Modders

What is ur taste lol

LeSteeler

One of the best seasons of TV ever, not just comic book TV, TV period...EP 4 and the finale 8 are two of the highest rated episodes IMDb in history and the whole show is rated great

LeSteeler

When I was a kid we used to call it "swamp water" when we mixed a bunch of pop flavours together.

Shaun Bloom

FYI if you love Cristin Milioti she's in season 2 of Fargo, which was amazing ;) This show definitely grew on me, it's got that sopranos/mafia style mixed with DC that just works. Both leads are great and it gets better from here. Glad you liked it!

Mike Hell

8 episodes, not 11. Great, great series. Give Lauren LeFranc her flowers.

Matthew

Natalie , i hope you see this .wat i meant by regular is i think it was 2 movies a week and then tv shows. First though, just having u comment to me u made my week, I found ur channel at a rough time in my life . i was mentally and verbally abused for 7 months before i went on family leave and disability because i'm trans and i found Ashleigh then and when reactors turned up on my feed ,i found u and others i now watch regularly. I've enjoyed ur reactions on YouTube and Patreon, Also, thank u for giving us a look into ur life as much as u do. I do hope u enjoy ur trip. Can u collab with Ashleigh? she mentioned wanting to collab with u in her live stream yesterday. Sorry this is so long, but this is a rare opportunity to tell u how special u and my other regulars are to me . yall keep me sane. I like Tyler. He seems cool. Would u be able to convince him to do a reaction with u? also, can u react to the Sopranos and Ash Vs Evil Dead? Last, i know ur Jewish , so i wanna wish u a Happy Hannukah. I know u will always keep it 100 and you're a wonderful person . thank u for caring enough to answer me.

Beth Brown

Cristin Milioti steals the show, even with Colin Farrell's Heath Ledger-esque THE-definitive-take-on-the-Penguin performance.

Andy

couldn't get into the penguin when I first tried to watch but now I have a good excuse to give it another shot ;)

Lawson

Nat , The Penguin is only 8 episodes , take a look on IMDB ;)

Peter Heine

Hi Beth, Not quite sure what you mean by regular movie schedule, but I know next week will have a movie that won't be animated or Ghibli. Depends on what wins in the poll this week. Hope this helps clarify a bit! Thanks for your support :)

Natalie Gold

You're just barely watching The Penguin now? LFG. We get to rewatch it with you. This is definitely the best show of this year. Great writing and the perfect way to do World Building.

Redrum Ritual

Collin's Penguin = Heath's Joker. Matt really did something with this character.

adrianR31

Does anyone know when she will go back to a regular movie schedule? I know that I will like the penguin, but its been anime and ghibli . I don't expect her to cater to me, but I just love watching movies with her. Especially the fast and furious ones. This is just a curious inquiry. Otherwise, I enjoy her content. Its just I miss watching her. 😪

Beth Brown

So excited for this one! Been waiting with the show until you got around to it so really hopeful it's as good as I hear :)

Danishprince

Hi Nat, hope everything goes well at the film festival and with your movie, just hope it comes to a streaming platform that we in the UK will be able to see it. Good luck 🤞

Baggie Mark

So, a little tidbit: in the comics, Penguin’s full name is Oswald 'Chesterfield' Cobblepot. But in The Penguin (2024), they change it to Oz Cobb, a more "grounded" take for the character... Directors often strip away parts of Batman, Gotham, and his rogues' gallery for the sake of "realism", looking at you, Nolan. It’s why characters like Clayface, Mr. Freeze, Man-Bat, or Killer Croc likely won’t fit into Matt Reeves' Gotham. And if they do, they’ll probably be heavily altered, much like how Nolan reimagined Ra’s al Ghul, an immortal with a rich, supernatural background in the comics, as just a regular guy with his name passed down as a title in the movies. It’s a shame, as those fantastical elements are key to what makes Batman’s world unique, showing how he evolves from fighting crime families and thugs to battling supervillains, monstrous creatures, and secret organizations But anyway, back to Penguin. This series is still amazing, but I did roll my eyes when I heard they changed his name. At least with Penguin, the change kind of makes sense for the story. He’s not from a wealthy family like in the comics, so I get why they dropped Cobblepot. But it’s an amazing series and honesty one of the best shows of 2024.

Happy Monday Nat. Hope you had an awesome weekend too. Enjoyed the livestreams on Saturday. They were a lot of fun 😅 Excited to watch The Penguin with you. It's such a cool show. And more Ghibli at the end of the week 😊 "Maybe he's born with it" 😄 Awesome reaction Nat. Thank you. I didn't watch the look aheads either. I always prefer to go in blind. Excited for the next episode on Thursday.
