I really enjoyed your reaction to this. It's a great film. Unfortunately it highlights how backwards the prison system was and still is in the US. We have over 2 million people incarcerated and no real rehabilitation programs. It's one of the highest incarceration rates in the world, higher than repressive countries like China, Iran, Russia. You would think the Land of the Free could figure out a better way. You need to do more Morgan Freeman movies: Deep Impact, Glory, Oblivion, Lucy all would be good follow ups. Glory in particular since it's a true story in the Civil War time period.

Really appreciate the kind words and the great advice! We're both completely new to this whole Patreon Game. I'm currently editing our first reaction to The Godfather and I'm taking everything you said into account during editing. I won't be including the movie audio this time, just our commentary. Also, it may be worth noting that we use a play pause system, meaning we have to pause the camera and film every 20ish minutes to reset everything because our camera has a recording limit of 29min. So there may be a slight few seconds delay here and there. I still try to minimize that delay as much as possible by really aligning each frame but it's kinda inevitable that it'll occasionally have a slight delay with the timer. We added October Sky to the list of exclusive Patreon reactions. We'll notify you when we react to it! Thanks again for the support, much love!

Full respect in you making this channel what you think it should be. Tim Robbins (the white guy, haha) has done some amazing work. You just have to look for it. Thanks for this reaction. I'd still love to see you react to October Sky. It's of a similar era. Also, one BIG suggestion; Mute the film audio. I'm humbling asking. It makes it almost impossible to enjoy because I can't have both playing without a slight or worse echo. It's easier to have the film audio on only my copy, so I can decide the volume of you vs the film, and I don't get the echo if it's not perfectly sync'd. It's my only complaint. I think you two are great!
