That *anyone* doesn't know that stuns me. He not only *sang* the original version of *Me and Bobby McGee* - he *wrote* it. Not knowing that Kristofferson was a singer & songwriter is like not knowing that *Dolly Parton* is a singer & a songwriter
Hahaha Holden you just landed on an amazing short film idea.... Blade showing up in the Twilight universe "correcting" the problem. I'd pay to see that.
Blade’s badass ride is a 1968 Dodge Charger. Also Kris Kristofferson who played Whistler, actually was a country music singer. A great one too. He was part of the band “The Highwaymen” which consisted of him, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings. Kris actually passed away earlier this year in September.
The whole Daywalker/half-vampire, raised by Whistler origin for Blade was created for the Spider-Man 90s cartoon; prior to that, Blade was just a dude who hunted vampires after one killed his mom.
Most of the stuff in that Spider-man show also inspired every Spider-man movie more than the actual comics have. Marvel probably tells creators to watch that show for research rather than skimming through hundreds of comics.
That's not entirely true. Blade in his debut wasn't a "Daywalker", but his mother did die during childbirth while being bitten, and although Blade wasn't superhuman, he was immune to a vampires bite as well as vampire hypnotism.
I started watching Matt and Holden in 2021 and have been a fan ever since- I love how the Holdenverse expanded to Jen and her friends too, I think the variety is fun af Remember guys, comment for the algorithm
This movie - as much as it gets slept on - was the progenitor of the early 2000's trope of the "gritty, prosaic superhero" that was supposed to be more realistic. It also famously kicked off the trend of black leather bodysuits for superheroes. Literally no one expected this movie to be a hit. This film is very much from the time when comic book movies were not considered big earners.
"He looks like a country singer ha ha" "Heh, nice country music album" That's Kris Kristoffersson, a legendary country music star who dabbles in acting.
love seeing Matt back on the channel! I've been rewatching the entire My Friend Watches series since the Tyson vs Paul livestream and I'm almost caught up to the new stuff. Holden mentions he never saw Remember the Titans in an older video, if that's still the case that'd be a great one to watch with Matt. So many bye gone jims
I Apologise Matt. You're a real one right there. Lets blame Holden for bringing you into watching Dp and W without watching everything els first. I'm more relaxed now. DAMMIT HOLDEN!! 😂😭
We rented blade when i was a kid. We made it to the burned vamp biting the doctors throat. My brother then cried it was scary and we had to shut it off . I had to wait 2 days until i was able to finish watching it in the middle of the day
@ pshhh too young, that’s how our generation did it wether we were allowed or not😂. That’s rad for real. Not only have I not seen these movies but I’ve never heard ppls stories around them. I appreciate you sharing with me.
Honestly with the movie Blade, if you didn't tell someone it is a Marvel character you would have no clue. I will say though... I'm getting the feeling that Matt has forgotten he genuinely was invested in the MCU. He had ALL the emotions during Endgame. That said, I just enjoy the two of you bantering. Thanks for another great vid!
I'm so glad My Friend Watches is back! It genuinely excites me whenever I see the notification and I'm all for Matt's terrible opinions sometimes. Also, congrats on 300k subscribers! You deserve it all, Holden!
@@HoldenHardman Don't take guff from the comments so seriously about him not recognizing Blade in Deadpool 3. No shame in not knowing a character from a late 90s movie.
No apologies, ever needed, Matt, my dude!! Not everyone can keep track of the enormous content of movies connected by the behemoth that is Marvel or comic movies in general 😅 The awesome thing is, that you're going in and watching the ones everyone is suggesting. Love watching you guys react to these.
WAIT! Matt doesn't think he's a nerd?!?!? Right now he looks like Urkel without the suspenders. He's breaking out in dance the way Carlton does when he hears Tom Jones music.
Is this the funniest MFW they've done? I was laughing every damn time, and that scene where frost tells his friend to stfu is so Holden and Matt hahaha.
See I love Matt enjoying himself in this 🤣his jokes had me dying. Yall definitely need to watch dodgeball I quote that movie a lot “real freakyyy naughty”😂😂
I can't believe people claim that Blade had zero influence on The Matrix. The Matrix came out two years later but also had black leather outfits, shades at night/indoors, bullet time, jumping over buildings, and many more
According to the comics Blade's father was Lucas Cross and his mother was Tara Vanessa Brooks. His birth name is Eric Cross-Brooks but he goes by the alias Frank Blade.
This movie is such a fun time! Laughing, cracking jokes, poking fun at the products of the time, that's all part of the experience. It doesn't diminish how great a movie this is or the impact it had on Marvel and movies like The Matrix.
13:11 - *Ok... Seeing Matt get **_jumped scared_** out of his seat there makes up for the **_No Reaction_** to Blade in **_DP&W!_* 😂👍 26:24 - *Well obviously: **_Morbid Obesity_** isn't as **_Morbid_** when one is Immortal!... But I do have to wonder how many people does one vampire have to bleed dry, night in night out, to actually gain any weight; and even more so **_THAT much_** weight!?* 31:22 - *I guess when you are a vampire, "sunblock" can be applied to your eyeballs as well... and still see through it!* 🤪
The character is supposed to be extremely old, and an intelligent record keeper. It's not so much eating, more being a sedentary ancient vampire never moving.
So much fun watching you guys in this video. Brought back all the feelings from when I stumbled upon your channel during Covid and felt like I was watching with friends when I couldn’t be around my own.
Matt's the kinda guy who'd wait for the ice to melt, then switch to rollerblades and attempt to go up the hill 😂 glad he appreicated the classic that is blade
25:20 actually a part of the lore surrounding Pearl was cut out of the movie because it was too dark; and you picked up a little bit of it regarding the environment (23:40) He had peculiar fettishes and he got fat from eating kids. Finding that our years later made the reaction she had with overusing the UV light seem more understandable.
The Blade 1 soundtrack was one of my favorite things to listen to when working out in high school. The beat and the flow just made everything feel faster. Also in my humble opinion in Deadpool 2 when Wade asks if dubstep is still a thing. I believe he's talking about The Blade soundtrack. Thanks for the good watch along.
There are many different types of 'clubs'. This sort of underground rave is popular in some bigger cities. One of the coolest clubs i ever visited was in Paris, Fr. The club went below street level about six stories. Each level had its own bar, seating area, etc. And the lowest bar had all the drink specials, so encouraged people to go all the way down. Another fun bar, was this chateu in Spain that had a pool outside, very Vegas, and a super long bbq pit inside, along with like a dozen specilty rooms, ballon room, S&M dark metal room, crowd surfing stage room, just tons of stuff to do. It was part of a club route bus tour. At least, until you missed the bus, and had to get a taxi back to one of the main cities.
I think I was more upset that you weren’t prepared for all the cameos. Like watching previous movies to prepare you for Deadpool and Wolverine. But I get over it when I know you’re not a nerd like us and your memory about movies is not there. lol love you Matt!!!!
I'm glad that Matt agreed to sit down and watch this. And matt, if you didn't want to, that would have been fine too. You are an adult, so I've been told. LOL, kidding. But thanks for giving this a shot. I am SUPER glad that you did enjoy it and may even watch it again. Now, both of you. One of the reasons that you never see a Vampire sweat, is because they are Cold Blooded. Their bodies are always cold, so them wearing leather all the time does not make them warm or hot. You will see that in almost, or all Vampire movies. That is one of the reasons they are usually dressed to the nines. Great Post, guys.
Part of the fun of twilight is learning to enjoy twilight, for instance I never fully realized how funny it is that they think there's a bear running around killing people until a recent rewatch.
My whole Cinema was cheering when Blade walked in during our viewing of Deadpool & Wolverine, normally cheering and clapping will get you kicked out, but we risked it.

Matt joking about Kris looking like a country musician and neither of them knowing he actually IS an old country musician had me dying 😂
Hey that man just passed away Sept. 28th of this year .. Christopher Kristofferson .. I'm actually named after him .. :D 3 weeks ago
Dude has a Grammy award winning song with Johnny Cash
That *anyone* doesn't know that stuns me.
He not only *sang* the original version of *Me and Bobby McGee* - he *wrote* it.
Not knowing that Kristofferson was a singer & songwriter is like not knowing that *Dolly Parton* is a singer & a songwriter
yea i thought Holden was going to chime in that he is a country singer but shocked me that he didnt know either
*_was..._* dude passed away a few months ago. 2024 saw a lot a losses. R.I.P.
I love remembering that Matt and Holden have both worked in varying aspects of the healthcare system, feels like deep lore I’ve gained along the way
True
I’m absolutely loving having Matt back. I started watching the channel when it was my friend watches so it is so cool for him to be back.
I’m honored by this comment and the amount of likes on this comment.😂❤💪🏽
@@MattLaneFitnessglad to have you back around Matt
“Have you seen the Mummy?”
“No”
Ok time to start another trilogy
maybe stop after 2 lol
@ i like 3
I wonder if Matt will have anything to say with the CG on the Rock in the second movie? Nah, he probably won't say anything.
@@james.b.mcgill I doubt he will even notice it's CG..
@@wilks- The Rock is fully there in person for the beginning of the film. Then even gave him a scorpion king spin off film
Hahaha Holden you just landed on an amazing short film idea.... Blade showing up in the Twilight universe "correcting" the problem. I'd pay to see that.
-Who the hell are you???
-Oh, you know; A real fucking vampire!
I can imagine Holden in a club, dancing and music bumping and he's just looking around. "Man, I really like the lighting and art nouveau décor!"
The chemistry between you 2 is absolutely amazing
Matt & Holden dancing together at the beginning is the perfect example of why they're friends. Lol!
Makes sense that you’re watching this now since your friend is “retired”
"Retarded?"
Matt upset me in deadpool and wolverine e can't remember shit
I should of watched before commenting I feel somewhat bad except the other things he new and forgot tis tis
"I don't like you" - Blade, from Deadpool and Wolverine. 🤣
@@CJBAHBLAHdude who cares 🤣 not everyone devotes their life to the mcu, it’s not that crazy
So, I gotta ask... are you aware that Whistler (Kris Kristofferson) was, indeed, a country artist before he started acting? If not, that's priceless!
No… no they didn’t hahaha
“Some mf’s still tryna ice skate uphill”
I'm so happy they brought back that line and now it is cemented MCU Canon Motherfuckers!!!! LFG!!!!
"CAN YOU TAKE ME HIGHER!" That killed me hahahah
Same here. 👍☮

Yup, I know they are younger but it's sad that most reactors don't know who he is and he doesn't get the praise he deserves.
@@julesb1970 Hell I’m younger than them. Only 21 and grew up listening to music like that. Still do too
And it features Tracy Lords who was the biggest pstar of her time
The whole Daywalker/half-vampire, raised by Whistler origin for Blade was created for the Spider-Man 90s cartoon; prior to that, Blade was just a dude who hunted vampires after one killed his mom.

That's not entirely true. Blade in his debut wasn't a "Daywalker", but his mother did die during childbirth while being bitten, and although Blade wasn't superhuman, he was immune to a vampires bite as well as vampire hypnotism.
@@nimawhe he got bitten by Morbius too which gave him powers associated with vampires
I started watching Matt and Holden in 2021 and have been a fan ever since- I love how the Holdenverse expanded to Jen and her friends too, I think the variety is fun af
Remember guys, comment for the algorithm
I blame Holden for showing Matt Deadpool 3 and then getting Matt's confused reaction throughout.
Yes! Let's go, Matt. No hard feelings. I blame Holden, lol. Go, team Matt.
😂😂😂yes let’s all shame him….shame, shame, shame (in Peter Griffin voice)
Like a lot of people here, I got into this channel when it was "my friend watches" so it's been a very special treat to see you guys together again!
This movie - as much as it gets slept on - was the progenitor of the early 2000's trope of the "gritty, prosaic superhero" that was supposed to be more realistic. It also famously kicked off the trend of black leather bodysuits for superheroes. Literally no one expected this movie to be a hit. This film is very much from the time when comic book movies were not considered big earners.
Also had the first superhero landing 😎
Matt with the "CAN YOU TAKE ME HIIIGHER!" 😂😂😂 I can never look at that scene the same again hahaha.
🤣🤣
"Looks like this dude was a country singer at one point in life" Not a bad description Matt...
Yeah, I was like "Well, about that..." lol
Rest In Peace Kris Kristofferson actor of Whistler
"He looks like a country singer ha ha" "Heh, nice country music album"
That's Kris Kristoffersson, a legendary country music star who dabbles in acting.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This has to be one of the funniest My Friend Watches so far
❤💪🏽
love seeing Matt back on the channel! I've been rewatching the entire My Friend Watches series since the Tyson vs Paul livestream and I'm almost caught up to the new stuff.

We rented blade when i was a kid. We made it to the burned vamp biting the doctors throat. My brother then cried it was scary and we had to shut it off . I had to wait 2 days until i was able to finish watching it in the middle of the day
That’s legit cool to hear your first experience of it. How old were you when you first watched it?
@MattLaneFitness i think I was 10 atm . Probably to young to watch it but also the right age because it was awesome
@ pshhh too young, that’s how our generation did it wether we were allowed or not😂. That’s rad for real. Not only have I not seen these movies but I’ve never heard ppls stories around them. I appreciate you sharing with me.

@@HoldenHardman Don't take guff from the comments so seriously about him not recognizing Blade in Deadpool 3. No shame in not knowing a character from a late 90s movie.
The paper blowing in the empty city streets is a hallmark of the 90’s movies. It’s awesome. Hahahaha
Gotta love that half of Matt's comments are guttural laughing and half is him apologizing to Devon. 😂
That ending was reshot. The original ending had Frost turn into a giant blood blob, which test audiences hated.
That "poor fat vampire" was eating children. That's how he got fat 😅
No apologies, ever needed, Matt, my dude!! Not everyone can keep track of the enormous content of movies connected by the behemoth that is Marvel or comic movies in general 😅 The awesome thing is, that you're going in and watching the ones everyone is suggesting.

So glad Matt is making appearances again
You and me boaf
WAIT! Matt doesn't think he's a nerd?!?!? Right now he looks like Urkel without the suspenders. He's breaking out in dance the way Carlton does when he hears Tom Jones music.
Is this the funniest MFW they've done? I was laughing every damn time, and that scene where frost tells his friend to stfu is so Holden and Matt hahaha.
"That was... surprisingly hot!"
- Matt
I think we finally found your kind of movie, Matt.
Hahaha I’m depraved
I miss raving, Matt looks and moves like he'd fit in... holden is the designated driver haha. Love ya guys!
Right? Always wanted to go to one. Seems like it would’ve been dope!
Bus Driver - 'Well.... I know I can't stop in time, so why slow down and inconvenience all these passengers?"
See I love Matt enjoying himself in this 🤣his jokes had me dying. Yall definitely need to watch dodgeball I quote that movie a lot “real freakyyy naughty”😂😂
I can't believe people claim that Blade had zero influence on The Matrix. The Matrix came out two years later but also had black leather outfits, shades at night/indoors, bullet time, jumping over buildings, and many more
lol. They're in denial
According to the comics Blade's father was Lucas Cross and his mother was Tara Vanessa Brooks. His birth name is Eric Cross-Brooks but he goes by the alias Frank Blade.
Believe it or not, the guy that played Whistler actually was a pretty popular country singer back in the 70s - 80s
13:11 this is why Matt doesn’t believe in death 😂😂
😂😅
This was the best episode. I could not stop laughing at you guys…thank you for that😂
Glad you enjoyed. Appreciate you watching us!
The thing that I love when watching these reactions is that Holden and Matt are just talking and having fun watching these movies and shows
This movie is such a fun time! Laughing, cracking jokes, poking fun at the products of the time, that's all part of the experience. It doesn't diminish how great a movie this is or the impact it had on Marvel and movies like The Matrix.
I love that Holden gives Blade the respect it's due!! Also omg christmas came early with another vid featuring hunky Matt 🥵
🙏🏼 appreciate you watching us

15 minutes in, and this is the most entertained I've ever been watching one of these videos. 😂😂😂😂
Matt telling Holden “Stay with me, Sweetness” 😂😂
Whistler is Kris Kristopherson. One of country music legends. I love how yall are joking about it not knowing he IS a country singer😂
Came here to say this!
That jumpscare from Matt 😂. I remember he didn't do well with Hereditary, you guys should watch more scary movies
Man, i thought we wouldn't get any more Matt videos, and we get three?
Matt always makes me laugh the Bi Gon jinn moment thing he does gets me everytime lol. Love your vids Holden!
This was a phenomenal reaction! I love this movie. It’s just sooo 90s. It’s great
Can't remember the last time he rated a movie this high. Clearly had fun with it which was good to see. Also this moment 25:45
finally, mattcached the core of 90 movies.. ITS JUST A FUN TIME. excellent reaction
All I can picture at the end is Matt doing Mac's elbow dance from It's Always Sunny.
All my friend watches ogs know ots Holdens fault for matts confusion on deadpool 3
I love that the boys are back though. Yall are hilarious together
2:20 Never apologise Matt. I love your reactions/opinions, even when they don’t align with my own. We can’t all love everything ✌🏼
Totally agree with you. I promise I’ll always be honest, regardless of if it rubs people the wrong way
Matt and Holden are back baby!!! Y’all had me laughing all video
So much fun watching you guys in this video. Brought back all the feelings from when I stumbled upon your channel during Covid and felt like I was watching with friends when I couldn’t be around my own.

Absolutely matt. It was nice to see you in the video watching blade
@@hkaayaakuu❤💪🏽
When Frost walks in and says "Nice place, took us a while to find it" and smacks him. Is STILL one of my fav movie moments.
Matt doesn't consider himself a nerd, but those glasses say otherwise...:)
🤓❤💪🏽
15:08 That is a '68 Dodge Charger R/T, with the optional 440 "Six Pack" engine upgrade (based off the hood scoop).
Really love the reaction! You should do more reactions with Matt!
The "No Blood Filter" in this is actually pretty nice it kinda fits the movie

Also in my humble opinion in Deadpool 2 when Wade asks if dubstep is still a thing. I believe he's talking about The Blade soundtrack. Thanks for the good watch along.
Wasnt a big fan of Matt but now i cant wait for him to watch the rest of Blade trilogy
Touché 😂🙏🏼
You can tell when Holden also hasn’t seen the film. He talks non stop. Yet when he’s seen the film he wants all others to be quiet lol.
You've actually found a movie that Matt likes 🙂
Miracles *do* happen
Matt:” He looks like he used to be a country music singer at one point”. Please look up Kris Kristofferson.😂😂😂😂😂😂
" There's only one Blade, there's only ever going to be one Blade"
At this rate, they might well just put Wesley Snapes in the MCU and have him team up with moon knight and other heroes
@@TimothyMills77 Agree
I'm glad you decided to watch this for Matt. Hell yeah!
One of the best My friend watches yet!
Matt's critique of the movie is why the MCU can't seem to make a Blade movie - they just don't know how to do this anymore.
Is that what your favorite youtube grifter tells you?
There are many different types of 'clubs'. This sort of underground rave is popular in some bigger cities.
One of the coolest clubs i ever visited was in Paris, Fr. The club went below street level about six stories. Each level had its own bar, seating area, etc. And the lowest bar had all the drink specials, so encouraged people to go all the way down.
Another fun bar, was this chateu in Spain that had a pool outside, very Vegas, and a super long bbq pit inside, along with like a dozen specilty rooms, ballon room, S&M dark metal room, crowd surfing stage room, just tons of stuff to do. It was part of a club route bus tour. At least, until you missed the bus, and had to get a taxi back to one of the main cities.
Been here for a few years. Love getting Matt's reactions and opinions (even when they're completely wrong😂)
I think I was more upset that you weren’t prepared for all the cameos. Like watching previous movies to prepare you for Deadpool and Wolverine. But I get over it when I know you’re not a nerd like us and your memory about movies is not there. lol love you Matt!!!!
“Well, maybe you could get me to a hospital and get a second opinion…”
“No, you’re gonna die.”
😂😂😂😂
Holy moly this episode was probably the funniest one yet! xD
Without a doubt one of the funniest reactions on the channel
That "Touche" was beautiful!
so glad Matt had fun with this! now are we ready for Starship Troopers?!
I always figured that that famous line at the end meant "ppl always do things the hard way
This might be the funniest movie reaction ever made 😂😂
I'm glad that Matt agreed to sit down and watch this. And matt, if you didn't want to, that would have been fine too. You are an adult, so I've been told. LOL, kidding. But thanks for giving this a shot. I am SUPER glad that you did enjoy it and may even watch it again. Now, both of you. One of the reasons that you never see a Vampire sweat, is because they are Cold Blooded. Their bodies are always cold, so them wearing leather all the time does not make them warm or hot. You will see that in almost, or all Vampire movies. That is one of the reasons they are usually dressed to the nines. Great Post, guys.
😂adult…..I guess. That’s a great explanation. Makes total sense about the suits.
Bro, this is the funniest my friend watches episode ever y’all got me dying over here at 4:18 in the morning😂😂😂😂😂
That jump scare was the best reaction in a long time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
congrats on 300K Holden! It's so awesome to see how far your channel has come these years!
We need more Matt on the channel
@44:24 had me cracking up
