I had that opening theme on cassette tape back in the day. Was obsessed with it. Lol. I think I was eleven. That last explosion scene in the tunnel was mind blowing for the time.

2025-08-26 23:51:51 +0000 UTCI appreciate you pointing this out. Both of those are intentional and I'll explain why. 1) I say in the intro that the watchalongs will *most likely* be available, because I recorded this weeks ago and I did not want to communicate a firm guarantee that they 100% would be. If people are curious after they hear me say that, they can click the Collection link that will be in the pinned comment and video description to see which watchalongs are available, at whatever time they're viewing the video. That leads into 2) This is a YouTube edit and my intro's are for YouTube folks. Many people will watch this video for the first time well after the video goes out, as these edits are being shared every two weeks on YouTube. I'll likely get new viewers through each movie reaction who are likely to go back and start with this one. They may be able to defer by the upload date vs. the date that they're watching that my "most likely" is now a "they're definitely all there" and they'll click the Collection to confirm that. And 3) Most YouTube viewers skip my intros entirely, and those who do are more likely to assume that I haven't yet watched the rest. It's better to catch those people at the end of the reaction with a "play it safe" reminder, just in case it's needed. If it's not, whatever, it's really not a big deal anyway.

2025-08-26 19:20:50 +0000 UTCI notice this has a warning at the end of the reaction portion saying not to post spoilers, but you also say upfront that you expect to be done with the series by the time the edits start running. Since we're down to the wire, maybe you won't end up having the time to get through all four of the remaining movies, but in any case, might be worth adding text when you say that in the intro and again at the end to clarify this warning further because it feels like some people might still think it's okay to say whatever given you say out loud that you expect to be finished. Also, when Dead Reckoning played in theaters, it had the subtitle "Part 1." They ended up not putting "Part 2" on Final Reckoning, but if you do end up having to watch some of them after your trip, it would probably be better to delay both Dead Reckoning and Final Reckoning as a pair, as they do go directly together in a way that is more true than the other entries in the series, and would benefit from back-to-back viewing rather than a split between DR and FR (in addition to being at least semi-refreshed on this first movie before watching them).
