Thanks again for having me on your channel JL! You're a legend and a great friend and hopefully these two movies are not our last together! 🤙 Pet the doggos for me!
Just to clear something up: The guy that plays Randall in this movie is not the guy from Mallrats, though I understand why you’d be dazed and confused. This actor is Jason London and the actor in Mallrats is Jeremy London. Twin brothers. That’s right.
That's what I love about movies... I get older, they stay the same age 😉 I love a generation's look back at previous generations through film. Dazed & Confused is such a nostalgia trip for a decade I wasn't even alive for. Along similar lines (great ensemble cast incuding Ben Affleck, great tunes, and a slice of a beloved era) - 200 Cigarettes. If you can find it, it's a hilarious New Years comedy.
My Mom was a senior in 76. I absolutely love this movie. I ask her if it was like that and she says no. My uncle (her lil bro) says not to believe her. She wore platforms and all🤣
Richard Linklater really knows how to capture time, place and character like few others. He's always been great, but with this film he shows that he's of the most insightful American filmmakers of his time.
There’s a moment near the end where Floyd stands up on the football field and it’s just a shot of him staring off into the distance. I think it’s the most powerful moment in the film. All day he’s been told to think about his future, but here in this moment, he’s surrounded by his friends enjoying the moment. He stares down an ocean of uncertainty ahead of him, but in that moment he is just there and he’s okay.
The young kids were becoming freshmen and the older cast were becoming seniors. The hazing was basically a ritual to see who would be accepted by the popular kids their freshmen year. It determined who might have a smooth year and who might get picked on. So yeah, you can abstain no problem but you'll have a rough first year at highschool.
"Alright, alright, alright." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Matthew McConaughey, Marissa Ribisi, Wiley Wiggins, Joey Lauren Adams, Shawn Andrews, and Renée Zellweger (uncredited). Word Count Fact: The word "man" is said 203 times in this movie. The word "fuck" was used 59 times throughout this movie. Location Location Fact: The infamous hazing scene was shot at the old Americana Theater (out of operation at the time) located at 2200 Hancock Drive, just off Burnet Road in Austin, Texas. It is now the Yarborough Branch of the city library, but still retains some of the original exteriors and signs from this movie's era. On Set Fighting Fact: Shawn Andrews and Jason London did not get along during filming. At one point, Richard Linklater had to break up a fight between them. It changed the ending, which was going to feature Pickford (Shawn Andrews) instead of Wooderson (Matthew McConaughey). It also explains their almost total lack of dialogue despite sharing several scenes. Music Enthusiast Fact: Led Zeppelin recorded a song titled Dazed And Confused (1969) on the album Led Zeppelin 1 (1969). In the scene where Don Dawson (Sasha Jenson) gets Benny O'Donnell (Cole Hauser) out of wood shop, just after Don gets Ron Slater's (Rory Cochrane) attention to signal Benny, listen for Slater's disbelief at Led Zeppelin's drummer John Bonham extended drum solos at concerts.
darthken815 ...I'm sad that Joey Lauren Adams didn't become more of a star. She's still acting, but I always thought she deserved better. Go with God and Be Safe from Evil. 😎 👍
@BenJammin1005 Also, the kid that played Pickford was a pain in the ass to deal with and literally fought Jason London (Pink). He was so much trouble, and Matthew so good, that a lot of his stuff was changed to be Wooderson. Pickford kind of disappears halfway through the movie, this is why.
When I was a teen we had the mall, arcade, skating ring every Friday night, getting high in the woods, movie theater, bowling alley, and just hanging out at friend's houses watching horrible movies on VHS.
My best friend had such a deep voice and a mustache early so he started getting served at a college liquor store at the age of 13-14. He would collect from everyone in school that wanted alcohol for the weekend, charge a little extra so we had money for booze and would go in there with a HUGE order. He was in there so often and spent so much money that he got to know the owner well enough that the owner offered him a job. He had to turn it down because he was only 16 at the time. They all thought he was 23. Those were some good drunken days. RIP Stoney.
We absolutely idolized this movie when I was in high school. It was the mid 90s and I mostly hung out with stoners, goth kids, and gang affiliates. The stoner kids absolutely loved this movie and I definitely count myself in that. Going out with your friends riding around, filling the car with smoke, trying to find a party... it all felt like some grand adventure. Which is exactly what this movie captures. That feeling of being young and meeting the world for the first time. Girls and Beer and Smoke and Breaking the Rules just for the rush. It is such an amazing time in your life. This movie is a love letter to the 70s version of that experience and watching it never fails to put a smile on my face.
The funniest part of this movie is Milla Jovovich's prediction that the 1980s would be a more fun decade to grow up in than the 1970s. No prediction has ever been more wrong than that...but it was actually made AFTER the1980s were over, so it is just even more hilarious. 😂😂😁😁
That was Cynthia, the red head. Milla Jovovich doesnt have any lines in the final cut. I think she had a lot more screen time and they cut out basically everything.
@@grimmbilly9263 I grew up in the 80s, and compared to the 70s it was a fully prudish and "just say no" kind of wasteland. Anybody who really enjoyed growing up in the 80s just seems very lucky.
@@Jessica-vv8yo Wow...how the heck did I get that mixed up in my brain?! I guess having that character say it makes it even funnier, but I feel let down by my own memory...thanks for letting me know.
The female with the big red curly hair is the sister of Giovanni Ribisi, Phoebe’s brother in Friends, among many other things. Also, Adam Goldberg played Joey’s roommate on Friends for a short time.
When Cynthia, the redhead says that everything they do is in preparation for the future, and if we're all going to die anyway then we should live in the moment, that sums up what the movie is really about. Whether it's Mitch deciding to hang out with seniors and make out with a sophomore, Cynthia making a date with Wooderson, Mike picking a fight and getting walloped, or Pink deciding to hang out with his stoner friends rather than play football his senior year, all of them stop worrying about the future and just act in the moment. The fact that the whole movie takes place in a 24 hour period puts the focus on the decisions rather than the consequences.
Life in highschool was like this all the way up till 95. I remember my final year of highschool things began to change. When i was a freshmen it was not uncommon for teachers and students to be seen smoking in the same area. And we used to be able to leave and come as we wanted. Then after that year they started changing things. Requiring permits for cars, no longer being allowed to smoke, hell at the end you couldnt even have cigarettes on you or you could get suspended.
The red hair girl is the sister of Giovanni Ribisi, who played the medic in Saving Private Ryan. Cole Hauser who’s one of the football players plays Rip in Yellowstone, and was in Good Will Hunting with Ben Affleck
This was Matthew Mc. first movie. He was only supposed to have one line, but he owned the character so much they let him add some lines and fleshed out his character a little more.
Jay @ 7:39 the guy on the right was Grady from Halloween 4 and the guy at 8:12 is Cole Hauser he played Veron in 2 Fast 2 Furious he also played the asshole in Pitch Black and he is on YellowStone now. Adam Goldberg also played Eddie in the episode of friends when Joey moves out and he moves in with Chandler.
When this movie came out, the only two people I recognized were Grady and Joey Lauren Adams. She was in a spinoff of Married With Children with Matt LeBlanc.
Kevin Smith has talked at great length about how Richard Linklater's super low budget first film, "Slacker" inspired him to make his first movie, "Clerk's" so it seems appropriate that Kaiielle was reminded of Kevin's films.
You ma’am are completely correct about the modern car colors! I especially hate the new grey everyone’s getting that just looks like primer. I was born in 1990 and also got paddled very often…. I even got a paddling my senior year 😆
Fun collab! I don’t spend a ton of time on TH-cam so when my few followed channels do a collab I can get introduced to new spaces. Happy to find you EOM.
i enjoyed this collab. i watch both channels and the two of you worked well together. usually first time collabs end up being awkward but you two were very entertaining and the conversation didnt seem forced
Man you know I love you, but I was a little disappointed with this collaboration. This is my favorite movie and I really was looking forward to see how you would react. Your friend seems nice but she talked too much. I came here for you and the co pilots. Maybe you and Mello or Billy would have better chemistry. #mellverse #billybinges
J, you did NOT just say you were going to be playing red dead redemption on a NEW gaming channel!!!??? Bro, I’ll be watching you till I’m in the dirt! My god keep ‘em coming!
What a great collaboration!!! I love her channel as well. I just subscribed to her recently and have been with you a bit longer, but this is fun. I’m in!!😎😎
In a small town of 2400 people, even in the mid to late 90s, we had chaperoned parties after sporting events. We'd have snacks, all kinds of games, videos, & music. We eventually created the "Wildcat refuge." It was a non alcoholic bar with music, pool tables, a card table, dart boards, foosball, arcade cabinets, a big screen TV with VCR, & they sold concessions. I agree kids today don't have places to go to hang out, not like we did. There is too much liability with so many different parenting styles today. Back then it took a village & the village raised us, in a matter of speaking.
Mitch & Sabrina were actual high school students at that Texas High School who never acted. Also the Mitch pitching Baseball scene, Mitch had never even thrown a Baseball in his life, so the pitching scene was Mitch in a wig.
This was set in my year(graduated in 77). I grew up in a midsized central Texas town, just like in the movie. It’s pretty accurate. I don’t remember all the hazing, but that was probably more for the jocks. I was more with the freaks and hippies. We were more interested in getting high than paddling each other, lol. Used to smoke with a couple of teachers, how times have changed. Good times back then. Great soundtrack.
My husband grew up on Texas during that time too. He said the same as you and he also said sometimes the older kids took the younger ones under their wings.
I was raised out in El Paso, graduated in '82, but this (aside from the hazing) was pretty much straight up the way it was. And yes, my crowd was def more worried about gettin' high than paddlin' others. And yeah, I think that was a jock thing.
Love this film. Directed by the great indie film director from Austin, Texas Richard Linklater. One of the most insightful and chill directors probably out there. This film makes me want to be older in the 70’s. I was only 3 in 1976, but I have vague memories of the vibe. It also makes me long for summer vacation:)
I really liked this film because it touched on hazing traditions that I feared going into high school but as it turned out had played themselves out and were not a tradition that was sustained when I went in as a freshman. It's a microcosm of a world that I entered in its dying days. I loved all of the many character arcs that happened in one day. Also I really enjoyed the collaborated reaction to this as it added many different insights to what might have been a single person reaction. I hope to see more of these!
I was recently out to lunch with my mom, and we were actually talking about how there's not a lot of variety in car colors anymore. Especially with newer cars. When I was growing up, and especially when she was growing up, there were way more colors of cars. My mom's job as a kid was to help her father detail cars. She told me that the reason there's not a lot of variety in car colors nowadays is because car companies made different car colors a premium and that's not something people want to spend extra for, which is understandable. My favorite car growing up was a lavender toyota. I hope one day car colors can be diverse again without having to fork over a lot of extra money.
This was supposed to be the generation to change the world. Still waiting... Also, my first car was a 1976 Dodge Dart duster. Paid $399 for it in 1987.
I had a friend in high school whose Mother would get booze for us and we partied at her house. She figured since we were going to be drinking she'd rather we did it there where we could be safe. And Kaiielle as a classic rock music fan I recommend the movie Heavy Metal kick ass soundtrack and cool animation..
One of my favourite films! Love to see people react to it. Fun "Saving Private Ryan" trivia: Cynthia (the redhead girl) is Marissa Ribisi, sister of Giovani Ribisi (the medic), and she is married to singer Beck. There is a wonderful making of doc available on YT, and "high-ly" recommend it. Also, despite watching this a thousand times, I still can't tell where Renee Zellweger ends and Joey Lauren Adams begins. Yes, they are both in this film lol.
Classic! “The most mature bunch so far”. The dark haired dude who got beat up was the same actor that was stabbed in saving private Ryan (Adam Goldberg). Ben Affleck as the jerk who gets the paint dumped on him. Milla Jojovich, Parker Posey, etc.
Sweet, two of my favorite reactors doing one of my favorite movies. While I don't have firstand experiece for the location (I'm from South Dakota not Texas) or the time period (graduated in 1994) I had siblings that did. And most of it carried through until shortly after I graduated. So for the hazing, yes it did happen, but not like this. Freshman were essentially Seniors' personal assistants. You had to do things for them, be deferent to them, etc. especially through Homecoming. At the end of homecoming week & just before the football game they had a pep rally and people who didn't participate enough were hazed there. It wasn't anything physically or mentally detrimental, maybe some embarrassment, but that's it. Since at our school 7th & 8th graders were part of the high school, we essentially had 3 years of it. Some of the punishments might include being blindfolded & having to eat dead skin (corn flakes) or eyeballs (peeled grapes), or having to propose to a senior (mine was my ride to school so we knew each other). And yes, there were parents & some adults at the pep rallys. Some of the things you guys might have missed in the movie: The liquor store scene, the the smoking pregnant woman is also buying a bottle of liquor, so, yeah.... As for the clerk, he knew Mitchell was underage, but played along in the way he did for pausible deniability (he told ke he was 18!) and because there were some back then who reasoned that if you're too strict with kids they might get into something more dangerous and really harm themselves. The reason most of the seniors were so vicious probably had to do with how they were hazed when they were freshman and this was their payback, or, they were sociopaths, 50/50. I have seen quite a few people who get like Clint on weed. It's not always a mellow high, some get paranoid, some get agressive, it just depends. I figure it's like alcohol, you can have happy & mean drunks. The soundtrack was actually 2 separate releases "Dazed and Confused” (blue cover) & "Even More Dazed and Confused" (pink cover). Together they have ALMOST every song from the movie (the biggest omission is Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion). But it is an excellent soundtrack that I still listen to. THE CARS! Yes I like the classic cars, muscle cars in particular, and this movie doesn't disappoint. I'm actually restoring one right now and it'll probably be done right around the time they fully switch to electric cars🤬! Great reaction guys! Hope you do this again sometime.
This is probably my favorite movie of this genre just because of the fact that I can totally relate to every aspect of it!! That's because I graduated high school in 1975!! So this movie takes place in 1976 which means that I probably would have been closer to Matthew McConaughey's character than anybody else because I went back to the public high school in my town to hang out with my friends that were still going to school. I graduated from the Catholic high School in town the year before!! So it was a weird dynamic where I didn't know anything about the school that I was hanging out in a year after I graduated high school 😮😮 The other aspect that I really relate to is partying out in a park or wherever they were partying!!! WE used to do EXACTLY the SAME thing!! There was a park in my town that that had a parking lot that was way down at the end of this road and it was a dead end and that's where we used to hang out and party!!! 16th St park❤❤🎉🎉 If they ever build a time machine while I'm still alive THAT'S where I'm going back to, 1975!!!❤
Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused: I get older, they stay the same age. Also Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar stays the same age while they get older.
We had a paddle in our elementary school.The principal never used it on me. Instead he'd swing me around his office by my hair. My feet never touched the ground. They named the school after him after he died.
Anthony Rapp is the blonde guy in the glasses, he’s been in a bunch of movies and tv shows and broadway shows. He is also one of the Guys who accused Kevin Spacey of being inappropriate with them when he was like 18. When I was a kid going to junior high in the 80’s the hazing thing high school kids did was either use eggs or shaving cream to haze kids going into the 10th grade. Luckily it was outlawed before I went into the tenth grade because some kids got hurt. There are plenty of colours for cars lol.
Ay. Matthew McC is hilarious in how to lose a guy in ten days and Kate Hudson is quite funny as well! I liked that movie a lot growing up just because of them two and their chemistry
i was born in 1980 and went to school in Michigan. Our principal had a paddle hanging on his wall but i seriously doubt it was ever used. And it had holes in it and the kids always talked about how the holes made it so you could swing faster and it would hurt more
Thanks again for having me on your channel JL! You're a legend and a great friend and hopefully these two movies are not our last together! 🤙 Pet the doggos for me!
Great job! Subscribed!❤
Loved it! Checking out your stuff right now!
We love you!!! Come back again!
the red head is Becks wife
You are so cute, and I love your shirt.
Just to clear something up:
The guy that plays Randall in this movie is not the guy from Mallrats, though I understand why you’d be dazed and confused.
This actor is Jason London and the actor in Mallrats is Jeremy London. Twin brothers. That’s right.
That's what I love about movies...

He stares down an ocean of uncertainty ahead of him, but in that moment he is just there and he’s okay.
I think I've finally found someone that's seen this more times than I have! 🤣🤣✌🏼✌🏼
The key scene in the film. And it's in slow motion.
The young kids were becoming freshmen and the older cast were becoming seniors. The hazing was basically a ritual to see who would be accepted by the popular kids their freshmen year. It determined who might have a smooth year and who might get picked on.
So yeah, you can abstain no problem but you'll have a rough first year at highschool.
"FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH" & "RISKY BUSINESS" are two 80's classics about teenage youth you should react to.
"Alright, alright, alright."

Was it this or Angels in the Outfield that was Mcconaughey's first film? I'm not sure
vancelubben5300 ...Angels In The Outfield (1994) came out a year later.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
@BigGator5
Before They Were Stars:The Movie.
darthken815 ...I'm sad that Joey Lauren Adams didn't become more of a star. She's still acting, but I always thought she deserved better.
Go with God and Be Safe from Evil. 😎 👍
So with that many man and fucks in the movie, I guess that was it number two for the number of man and fucks in one movie Behind The Big? Lebowski?
This was Matthew Mcconauhey's first movie and his part was actually going to be smaller but they put him in more because he was so good!
@BenJammin1005 Also, the kid that played Pickford was a pain in the ass to deal with and literally fought Jason London (Pink). He was so much trouble, and Matthew so good, that a lot of his stuff was changed to be Wooderson. Pickford kind of disappears halfway through the movie, this is why.
When I was a teen we had the mall, arcade, skating ring every Friday night, getting high in the woods, movie theater, bowling alley, and just hanging out at friend's houses watching horrible movies on VHS.
yep, that was how we spent the 90's for sure. Add in a lot of bike riding.
Dazed and Confused is a day in the lives of these young people. Kind of a one night visual 1976 time capsule. ❤😂 happy you enjoyed this.
I think J and Ashleigh should team up for Glass Onion since they both loved Knives Out. Keep up the great work team EOM!
That would be a sick collab. Ashleigh is a perfect pairing. I was also thinking Jay and Popcorn in Bed (Cassie and even Carly). It would be so cute
@@CoryGasaway I like them too.
That's funny. The singer who sings School's Out for Summer is....Alice Cooper.

EOM that's so cool of you to collab and support the smaller channels.
Fun Fact: The guy that plays Randall is NOT from the View Askew movies. His twin brother is from those movies.
ty, I've seen both movies A LOT and had a feeling that wasn't the same actor.
If EOM hasn't reacted to music videos, it might be time.
Life in highschool was like this all the way up till 95. I remember my final year of highschool things began to change. When i was a freshmen it was not uncommon for teachers and students to be seen smoking in the same area. And we used to be able to leave and come as we wanted. Then after that year they started changing things. Requiring permits for cars, no longer being allowed to smoke, hell at the end you couldnt even have cigarettes on you or you could get suspended.

He's also Johns in Riddick.
Cool collaboration. And great reaction! 👍🏿
This was Matthew Mc. first movie. He was only supposed to have one line, but he owned the character so much they let him add some lines and fleshed out his character a little more.
I think like 1/5th of the film’s budget was spent on licensing rights for the music.
Jay @ 7:39 the guy on the right was Grady from Halloween 4 and the guy at 8:12 is Cole Hauser he played Veron in 2 Fast 2 Furious he also played the asshole in Pitch Black and he is on YellowStone now.

2 of my ultimate favorite reactors... Reacting to my fav movie of all time "Dazed And Confused" .. What did I do to deserve such a great day?? lol
Greatest movie ever, kinda wish it was a solo reaction cuz she talked over sum of the best parts.
Really hope you see some more movies!
Kevin Smith has talked at great length about how Richard Linklater's super low budget first film, "Slacker" inspired him to make his first movie, "Clerk's" so it seems appropriate that Kaiielle was reminded of Kevin's films.
One of my favorite movies, when I got it on VHS in the mid 90’s I would watch it over and over on repeat and miss school because of it
You ma’am are completely correct about the modern car colors! I especially hate the new grey everyone’s getting that just looks like primer. I was born in 1990 and also got paddled very often…. I even got a paddling my senior year 😆
Nardo Grey 🤮
What a nice surprise this was. I just discovered and subscribed to Kaiielle about a week ago. You two were great together.
Fun collab! I don’t spend a ton of time on TH-cam so when my few followed channels do a collab I can get introduced to new spaces. Happy to find you EOM.
"Dazed and Confused" is another Led Zeppelin song.
American graffiti is the 50s verson of this movie, filmed in the 70s like dazed and confused is in the 70s and filmed in the 90s
3:30 Red Dead 2 is one of the best games ever made. You are going to be totally blown away.
Dazed and Confused is also a Led Zeppelin song. Schools Out and No More Mr. Nice Guy are both Alice Cooper songs, who you saw in Wayne's World.
Oh Jesus, this man is a reaction gold mine! You're about to start unlocking music's true potential too. That'll be great 🤘🏻
Dude with the curly red hair is Rip in Yellowstone
Amazing reaction as always. Great surprise to see two of my favorites together. Hope to see more in the future.
YES!!!! ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 I just came here after watching you both react to Point Break. ❤😊😊😊
i enjoyed this collab. i watch both channels and the two of you worked well together. usually first time collabs end up being awkward but you two were very entertaining and the conversation didnt seem forced
The things we did for fun before the internet.😂
Man you know I love you, but I was a little disappointed with this collaboration. This is my favorite movie and I really was looking forward to see how you would react. Your friend seems nice but she talked too much. I came here for you and the co pilots. Maybe you and Mello or Billy would have better chemistry. #mellverse #billybinges
THE most accurate depiction of being school age in the 70s. Everything is 100 authentic. Clothes, cars, hair, everything
I love these cross-overs where I get two of my favorites in one reaction!
J, you did NOT just say you were going to be playing red dead redemption on a NEW gaming channel!!!??? Bro, I’ll be watching you till I’m in the dirt! My god keep ‘em coming!
aaaaay two-person reaction! Tuning in a little later for the live one but looking forward to the rewatch!
That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
This film is a great film that really doesn't lead to much but you can feel it, it's like being young again
You two did really well with this collab. Looking forward to tonight.
I've used "check ya later" so many times.😂
Ain't no way all doing the reaction together on my favorite movie ahhh love you guys hope you enjoy
What a great collaboration!!! I love her channel as well. I just subscribed to her recently and have been with you a bit longer, but this is fun. I’m in!!😎😎
In a small town of 2400 people, even in the mid to late 90s, we had chaperoned parties after sporting events. We'd have snacks, all kinds of games, videos, & music. We eventually created the "Wildcat refuge." It was a non alcoholic bar with music, pool tables, a card table, dart boards, foosball, arcade cabinets, a big screen TV with VCR, & they sold concessions.
I agree kids today don't have places to go to hang out, not like we did. There is too much liability with so many different parenting styles today. Back then it took a village & the village raised us, in a matter of speaking.
The guy you say was in Mallrats is actually his twin brother Jeremy London, this here is Jason London
Yep! That was Parker Posey, AKA Jennifer Jolie, aka Judy Jurgenstern aka “Gale Weathers” from Scream 3!
I was told by my consultant in the hospital to try weed to help deal with my pain,I couldn't believe what I heard
I've been subscribed to both of you already! :) so glad to see you both together!... 👍🏼
The George Washington speech is the best speech in cinema history.
Mitch & Sabrina were actual high school students at that Texas High School who never acted. Also the Mitch pitching Baseball scene, Mitch had never even thrown a Baseball in his life, so the pitching scene was Mitch in a wig.
I would like to see J react to Jonathan Davis explaining the origin of Korn's name.
EOM WORLD COMING SOON
So glad to see you watching one of my favourite guilty pleasure movies of all time. Was in high school when this came out and have loved it since.
I love this movie - as much as it makes me sad; I miss the simple social life, when everyone was 'forced' to live simple together, haha 💜
This was set in my year(graduated in 77). I grew up in a midsized central Texas town, just like in the movie. It’s pretty accurate. I don’t remember all the hazing, but that was probably more for the jocks. I was more with the freaks and hippies. We were more interested in getting high than paddling each other, lol. Used to smoke with a couple of teachers, how times have changed. Good times back then. Great soundtrack.
My husband grew up on Texas during that time too. He said the same as you and he also said sometimes the older kids took the younger ones under their wings.
I was raised out in El Paso, graduated in '82, but this (aside from the hazing) was pretty much straight up the way it was. And yes, my crowd was def more worried about gettin' high than paddlin' others. And yeah, I think that was a jock thing.
I was waiting for her to tell you the song schools out and no more mister nice guy are Alice Cooper songs but she never did.
Love this film. Directed by the great indie film director from Austin, Texas Richard Linklater. One of the most insightful and chill directors probably out there. This film makes me want to be older in the 70’s. I was only 3 in 1976, but I have vague memories of the vibe. It also makes me long for summer vacation:)
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤
This was Matthew McConaugheys first movie ever.
I really liked this film because it touched on hazing traditions that I feared going into high school but as it turned out had played themselves out and were not a tradition that was sustained when I went in as a freshman. It's a microcosm of a world that I entered in its dying days. I loved all of the many character arcs that happened in one day. Also I really enjoyed the collaborated reaction to this as it added many different insights to what might have been a single person reaction. I hope to see more of these!
The tall red head friend was also a buddy in Good Will Hunting. Now he’s more better known as Rip on the rancher show Yellowstone.
If you want a stoner comedy for Halloween, Idle Hands. IK hope one or both of you react to Out Cold.
I was recently out to lunch with my mom, and we were actually talking about how there's not a lot of variety in car colors anymore. Especially with newer cars.
When I was growing up, and especially when she was growing up, there were way more colors of cars. My mom's job as a kid was to help her father detail cars. She told me that the reason there's not a lot of variety in car colors nowadays is because car companies made different car colors a premium and that's not something people want to spend extra for, which is understandable.
My favorite car growing up was a lavender toyota. I hope one day car colors can be diverse again without having to fork over a lot of extra money.
This was supposed to be the generation to change the world. Still waiting...
Also, my first car was a 1976 Dodge Dart duster. Paid $399 for it in 1987.
Best entrance in cinema history: Emproium, Hurricane, slo-mo.
I had a friend in high school whose Mother would get booze for us and we partied at her house. She figured since we were going to be drinking she'd rather we did it there where we could be safe. And Kaiielle as a classic rock music fan I recommend the movie Heavy Metal kick ass soundtrack and cool animation..
One of my favourite films! Love to see people react to it. Fun "Saving Private Ryan" trivia: Cynthia (the redhead girl) is Marissa Ribisi, sister of Giovani Ribisi (the medic), and she is married to singer Beck. There is a wonderful making of doc available on YT, and "high-ly" recommend it. Also, despite watching this a thousand times, I still can't tell where Renee Zellweger ends and Joey Lauren Adams begins. Yes, they are both in this film lol.
When Affleck broke the paddle on the curb after the paint job he actually broke his own ankle by accident 😂
Classic!
“The most mature bunch so far”. The dark haired dude who got beat up was the same actor that was stabbed in saving private Ryan (Adam Goldberg). Ben Affleck as the jerk who gets the paint dumped on him. Milla Jojovich, Parker Posey, etc.
This movie was my life in the early 90’s god I miss it. Never trouble just a bunch of good times with friends.
Sweet, two of my favorite reactors doing one of my favorite movies.
While I don't have firstand experiece for the location (I'm from South Dakota not Texas) or the time period (graduated in 1994) I had siblings that did. And most of it carried through until shortly after I graduated. So for the hazing, yes it did happen, but not like this. Freshman were essentially Seniors' personal assistants. You had to do things for them, be deferent to them, etc. especially through Homecoming. At the end of homecoming week & just before the football game they had a pep rally and people who didn't participate enough were hazed there. It wasn't anything physically or mentally detrimental, maybe some embarrassment, but that's it. Since at our school 7th & 8th graders were part of the high school, we essentially had 3 years of it. Some of the punishments might include being blindfolded & having to eat dead skin (corn flakes) or eyeballs (peeled grapes), or having to propose to a senior (mine was my ride to school so we knew each other). And yes, there were parents & some adults at the pep rallys.
Some of the things you guys might have missed in the movie:
The liquor store scene, the the smoking pregnant woman is also buying a bottle of liquor, so, yeah....
As for the clerk, he knew Mitchell was underage, but played along in the way he did for pausible deniability (he told ke he was 18!) and because there were some back then who reasoned that if you're too strict with kids they might get into something more dangerous and really harm themselves.
The reason most of the seniors were so vicious probably had to do with how they were hazed when they were freshman and this was their payback, or, they were sociopaths, 50/50.
I have seen quite a few people who get like Clint on weed. It's not always a mellow high, some get paranoid, some get agressive, it just depends. I figure it's like alcohol, you can have happy & mean drunks.
The soundtrack was actually 2 separate releases "Dazed and Confused” (blue cover) & "Even More Dazed and Confused" (pink cover). Together they have ALMOST every song from the movie (the biggest omission is Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion). But it is an excellent soundtrack that I still listen to.
THE CARS! Yes I like the classic cars, muscle cars in particular, and this movie doesn't disappoint. I'm actually restoring one right now and it'll probably be done right around the time they fully switch to electric cars🤬!
Great reaction guys! Hope you do this again sometime.
Cars come in all kinds of crazy colors now... Great Movie! EVEN BETTER REACTION AS ALWAYS!
I would LOVE a music reaction channel from Jay!
the 50/50 was great on this one! props cool to see the back and forth with dif pts of view
This is probably my favorite movie of this genre just because of the fact that I can totally relate to every aspect of it!! That's because I graduated high school in 1975!!
So this movie takes place in 1976 which means that I probably would have been closer to Matthew McConaughey's character than anybody else because I went back to the public high school in my town to hang out with my friends that were still going to school. I graduated from the Catholic high School in town the year before!! So it was a weird dynamic where I didn't know anything about the school that I was hanging out in a year after I graduated high school 😮😮
The other aspect that I really relate to is partying out in a park or wherever they were partying!!! WE used to do EXACTLY the SAME thing!! There was a park in my town that that had a parking lot that was way down at the end of this road and it was a dead end and that's where we used to hang out and party!!! 16th St park❤❤🎉🎉
If they ever build a time machine while I'm still alive THAT'S where I'm going back to, 1975!!!❤
Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused: I get older, they stay the same age.
Also Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar stays the same age while they get older.
Great collab! You guys continue the reactions.
Low-Key Kinda Wish You Did This 1 Solo-Bolo..
We had a paddle in our elementary school.The principal never used it on me.
Instead he'd swing me around his office by my hair. My feet never touched the ground. They named the school after him after he died.
This filmmaker specializes in nostalgia movies. All of them that I've seen have been awesome.
Anthony Rapp is the blonde guy in the glasses, he’s been in a bunch of movies and tv shows and broadway shows. He is also one of the Guys who accused Kevin Spacey of being inappropriate with them when he was like 18.
When I was a kid going to junior high in the 80’s the hazing thing high school kids did was either use eggs or shaving cream to haze kids going into the 10th grade. Luckily it was outlawed before I went into the tenth grade because some kids got hurt.
There are plenty of colours for cars lol.
Ay. Matthew McC is hilarious in how to lose a guy in ten days and Kate Hudson is quite funny as well! I liked that movie a lot growing up just because of them two and their chemistry
Love this movie!! Welcome to the channel Kaiielle.
i was born in 1980 and went to school in Michigan. Our principal had a paddle hanging on his wall but i seriously doubt it was ever used. And it had holes in it and the kids always talked about how the holes made it so you could swing faster and it would hurt more
I hope you don't get arrested. I'm pretty sure its illegal to not have a joint while watching this movie. ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT.
😂 alright alright alright thank you Kaiielle J and blank for this duo reaction
EOM is arguably the funniest film reactor. Good collab.
