    I’m sitting over here going “Honey…you got a big storm coming!” With the rest of the show. I immediately became obsessed with this show. It’s shot so damn well! And the writing…🤌✨Chefs kiss✨

    I'm so happy you guys are doing this one. This is my FAVORITE Mike Flanagan series. It touches on so many really interesting themes, and the writing is just... *chef's kiss*

      Even the base idea is so simple but smart, it's one of those things where you're like "why hasn't this been done before?" it makes so much sense!

    • @system0fadowner251
      @system0fadowner251 ปีที่แล้ว

      I love this show but ever since someone pointed out to me how overdone the monologues are in it I can't stop noticing it. Still great tho.

      @@Shyknit (spoilers ahead, folks) For me it kind of felt like "this has been done before, albeit differently". It feels like a story that Stephen King would have come up with in the 1970s or 1980s. And in a way it feels like Flanagan is nodding in homage to the "King", or was inspired slightly by "Salem's Lot" (a darn good novel and also a satisfying and spooky 3 hour television event in 1979 directed by Tobe Hooper).
      All I know is Flanagan had issues with drink and also -endured- a Catholic upbringing, and threw those things into the stew. My biggest question about this series was 'why was there not one utterance of the word _vampire_ throughout all the dialogue?' Boggles my mind. :) Great show overall; everything is excellent, from musical score/ambience to visual compositons.

    i was raised in a cult like environment in a smalllllllll pentecostal church ran by my family. i've been in therapy for a long time for religious trauma and this is my favorite show of all time! thank you for reacting to it!

    • @system0fadowner251

      Holy shit congrats on getting out of that. I knew some Pentecost zealots when i was younger and they're fucking insane.

    My day just improved 1000%! Hope you love this one, it's my favorite from Flanagan!
    Oh my, prepare to be uncomfortable!
    So Leeza Scarborough's mom, Dolly, is played by the actor who played Morella Usher (Freddie's wife) in House of Usher. Riley's dad, Ed Flynn, is played by Henry Thomas who was the young version of the dad in Hill House and Freddie in Usher.

  • @misshelenjune6977

    My bestie and I watched this when it first came out, and "fuck Bev" is still a regular part of our conversations. It's honestly an immaculate performance.

    So happy you started this! And glad you recognized "Verna's" voice as the judge! And "Bill" as the bearded guy 🤩
    Other actors you might not have noticed is Morri (being not-burned in this series :p) as the mayor's wife. The mayor himself is the damn jester: mister Griswold. Riley's brother is played by one of Camille's assistants and of course the doctor is Mrs Dudley from Hill House or Roderick/Madeline's mother in Usher.

    • @moramorandobianchi7093
      @moramorandobianchi7093 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Right, and Henry Thomas as Riley’s dad! I can’t believe how different he looks, and he is also such a great actor.
      Annabeth Gish as the doctor is more obvious tho, but I really like her performances

    Ahh I so so grateful to Rahul Kohli for sharing y'all on his IG story!!! I'm a Mike Flanagan megafan and a horror fan too, so pumped to binge your show/pod. LOVING it so far, literally giddy feeling like im watching my fav show with friends already!

    @annikorpi2895 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    This was Mike Flanagan’s passion project- he put his whole heart and soul into this show. It’s a true masterpiece. Prepare to be devastated in the best possible way. I cannot get enough of Flanagan’s work- but especially this one.

    Leeza Scarborough’s Dad is also Roderick’s old boss that they bricked behind the wall in The Fall of the House of Usher 👀. I really do love how Mike Flanagan gives all these actors the chance to flex their skills with such different roles.

    Loved, LOVED this show! I love every show Mike Flanagan came out on Netflix. I still haven’t seen the Fall of Usher due to just life, but I can’t wait to sit down to watch it. Also, can’t wait for your reaction of the rest of the show

    • @system0fadowner251
      @system0fadowner251 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its a bit different in tone from what you might expect from him but its still an S tier show. It acts as both a love letter to Poe and a total reimagining of his stories and poems, modernized perfectly while losing none of what made his work so powerful and raw.
      Ill say tho you'll definitely get alot more out of it if youre familiar with Poes work, but honestly its still fantastic even if youve never read a word. He is timeless

    @lauramh4590 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Midnight Mass appears as a couple of fun Easter eggs in Hush and Gerald’s Game, also by Flanagan. Toward the beginning of Hush, Samantha Sloyan’s character is talking to Kate Siegel’s character about her book she just read. She says “I loved Riley, I loved Erin”, and she’s talking about this story. Also, the Midnight Mass book cover also appears in a scene in Gerald’s game. I believe Flanagan said that Midnight Mass was one of his early ideas and he wasn’t sure it’d ever come to fruition.

    I'm not sure if you guys have seen Flanagan's movie Hush, but it has a small easter egg with this! In the movie Hush, the main character is also in this show, and she's the author of a successful book called Midnight Mass!

    Hi guys! First, off point, I thank you for the Bloody Appetizers sticker you sent! I disregarded the emails prior to receiving it because I thought it was some kind of scam. So surprised when it came. Glad to be on the Horror Bandwagon! I am right with you on the religious theme in this series. But definitely another star in the Flanagan Universe ! If it feels a little slow in the next couple of episodes, it hits a home run right to the end. That's Flanagan and we love him for that, lol!

  • @alexstanton83

    @LABofDoom ปีที่แล้ว

    This is by far my favorite Mike Flannagin production. And it’s his most personal, as the book Midnight Mass first appeared in Gerald’s Game and lasted on in Hush, being written by Kate Seigle’s character. While I have been an atheist for most of my life, I grew up Episcopalian (which is just a super liberal catholic). The discussion of religion and morals through people of various faiths was really well done and a lot of Muslims appreciated Flannagin’s attention to detail when it came to the sheriff.

    This series was my very first Mike Flanagan experience. I don’t like the horror genre because I’m a coward with too much imagination but before watching this, I did not read the synopsis or even know the genre. I just thought it was going to be some mystery around a church 😂 But now that I now know where all the scary bits are, I can’t stop myself from re-watching this series multiple times. So apparently I’m okay with some horror because I then went on to watch The Fall of the House of Usher a couple of times. Have fun 😜

    This is almost a tie for me for favorite with Usher. I love Hill House for its horror, but as far as story depth this is Mike Flanagan firing on all cylinders.
    And yes, Bev is iconic. She's probably her most iconic role.
