I was just watching your Tropic Thunder reaction, and wondering if either of you guys ever saw 'Eastbound and Down'? It's a series where Danny McBride plays a washed up baseball player who is such a hilarious asshole. (He was the explosives guy in Tropic Thunder). It's literally one of the funniest shows ever made, and it's pretty short compared to a lot of other shows. You guys definitely need to watch a trailer for it.

I have always been curious to know what you guys are sitting on during your reactions. It seems like you're on two stools or something. Surely it must be something more comfortable than that?!
miles
look at that dog lol what a potato
TBR Schmitt
I don't actually know if there is a setting for this, but I will check! -Sam

Has constantly analyzing and picking apart films and tv episodes spread to other aspects of your lives? Has it made you more thoughtful or considerate when something you don't initially understand is presented to you?
Colin Thomas Nichols
Adding on, you seem to be a little guarded about your personal lives but it would be interesting to hear/see what you do for your day-jobs. I think TBR (don't think you've ever mentioned your name? haha!) mentioned having a degree in engineering at some point?
Colin Thomas Nichols
I don't typically watch reaction videos but somehow your channel hooked me. Something about your relationship, commentary, and fairly in-depth conversations after the movie is why I keep coming back. You guys are amazing together and it's fun to see someone pick up on the same themes and ideas that I adore these movies for. As for a question, here's one: What's your favorite thing or aspect about running the channel?
Mike Tocci
That's a great idea with great reasoning behind it.
Tostito Buddy
Have you guys considered making the polls blind? As in, you can't see any results til the poll closes? I just voted in the most recent ones, and realized that all I ever really do by the time I see the poll, is pick my favorite of the two front runners for my vote to matter. You guys go to the effort to make these great lists, and then they are effectively reduced to a poll between 2 movies within about 20 minutes, in terms of ability to actually win. Just wondering if it might get more interesting results if people had to genuinely pick their choice blind.

Dude you can find so many chicks with fun balloons on the internet for free, don't be thirsty.
Tee Grant
Congrats Fam! Thanks for getting me all the way thru the covid times lmao you guys made it tolerable
David Wilkins
It would be interesting to know each of your 10 favorite movies watched before or outside of your reactions, and likewise your 10 most favorite by reaction. Individually, because there are often distinct differences for any two people, even closely knit couples.
Miles E Coburn
I've never quite understood reactors who only do the winners of their polls. I mean, the other movies are on the polls for a reason. Dan and Sam are not included in that category, by the way. They DO do some reactions to movies that don't win.
Miles E Coburn
Question # 2 - Has your exposure to older movies (i.e. "Rear Window", "North by Northwest", "Psycho", "It's A Wonderful Life", etc.) changed your viewing tastes? If so, how?
Miles E Coburn
Haven't gone through the other responses yet, but while I'm thinking about it, you are Dan and Sam, correct? Where does "TBR Schmidt" come from? Company name?
PIG
Q#2 Has all this cinema, with their stories and characters, changed your perspective of life and the world in any major way? If so, what was most changed?
PastaDon
PastaDon
I know, I know.. my apologies :)
PastaDon
Oh yeah, no!! Totally doesn't have to be rom com.. That's just the "default" go to genre whenever we can't agree in my familyš.. I mean, they could do something like a "Samantha's pick" poll.. 5 different films she wants to watch and then we vote for a winner?
Aaron Barlow
This reminds me of those scammy Whatsapp/Telegram Youtube comment replies purporting to be the current channel and claiming you've won a PS5 Lol
Tostito Buddy
Shhhhhhh
Warren H
Or, to expand upon PastaDonās commentā¦Samantha, WHAT untapped genre would you like? Iām only asking because my sister hates Rom Coms, so donāt want to assume. :) Congrats, you guysāof course, like most success, thereās a reason.
PastaDon
Happy for you guys.. Wondering if you could possibly add a rom com poll in the future?? Sometimes I feel bad because Samantha is such a good sport but most of what is requested and reacted to is geared towards us males..
Mark M
Congratulations on 100k! I'm excited for this. My question is for both of you. You guys seem to be mostly on the same page during the reactions but is there an example of a movie that one of you loves and the other hates?
Tostito Buddy
Congratulations guys. Here's a nice dumb question; how tall are you guys?
Shehab Dawoud
Didn't know you guys had a dog! It makes more sense now why Sam was so appalled when Christian Bale stomped that puppy in American Psycho XD
PIG
Q: Any suggestions to any up and coming reactors nowadays? Something to make their lives easier.
Ed R
Which movie(s) didn't win polls that you really want to see / wished they had won polls.
James Whalen
Why the facepalm?
James Whalen
I love the sequel.
Jeff Mills
āShort Circuitā is a good movie. The sequel? Not so much.
Jeff Mills
Congratulations to you both! Iāve been a happy and proud subscriber and supporter for the past couple of years. Here are my questions: 1) Of all of the movies and TV shows you have watched, which ones are your favorites? 2) What advice would you give to anyone wanting to start a YouTube or Patreon reacting to movies and TV shows? 3) What is the music that plays at the beginning of your videos? I love it. 4) What has been your biggest challenge with being a content creator on YouTube and Patreon? 5) Last but not least, whatās the worst TV show and/or movie you have watched whether it was a reaction video or offline? Thank you both! You are awesome.
christopher brown
Congrats on the 100K and what is the oldest movie you have seen
Nismo
Woohoo! Congrats on 100k subscribers, well deserved! You two have some of the best reactions and I really enjoy the discussions you have afterward. Hard to believe you two do this and have full time jobs! Some of my questions: What do you guys do for your jobs? Were you two born in the 80's or 90's? Favorite line or scene from a movie?
Nicotti
Congrats Peeps! Definitely deserved!
Vwlss Nvwls
You deserve your success with this. I won't lie, I am envious of you two, but I will just keep living vicariously through your videos. :P I can't think of any question except: How did you, and what made you start this venture?
James Whalen
First off, congrats you guys. I always wanted to hear how you guys met and was his first line to you very cheesy? lol Also have either of you seen the movie "Short Circuit"? Love you guys.
Brent
Way to go guys!!! It's been so fun revisiting some of my favorites and getting to experience some classics for the first time with you!!! Can't wait for what the future holds! Again Congrats šš
Wyatt Nuxoll
Hey guys , congratulations on 100k subs , I knew you would get there. I have a question for you bolth and my question is if you guys were involved in the movie making process , what role would you be best at a director, producer, an actor? ( etc) What is the movie about, what genre would you be best at ? I look forward to your future reactions and now the road to 200k begins I wish the best for you guys take care
Richard
Appreciate you for reacting to movies that others don't. Congrats on 100k!, You guys are dynamite, so let's blow the roof off in 2023!
James Miley
Congrats on reaching 100 K. One question I have is what are some of your favorite movies that you had already seen before starting your channel? I remember hearing that youād seen Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction. Thanks for providing us with such a fun channel.
Mike LL
Congratulations on 100K Subs! That is very well deserved. Best wishes on your future success and hope I can see a small part of it.
dieselbeast
Congratulations you amazing couple! š the first is basic but must be asked 1) favorite top five movies you reacted too for each of you? 2) Are there any movies you reacted too that were boring you but you pushed through anyways? lol 3) Any movies that you reacted to but were never uploaded because you didn't like your reactions or for whatever reason? 4) Would you like to collaborate with any other reactors? Last question One thing you both love about each other and one thing you find annoying about each other? lol all in fun guys, much love and respect š
EdmanXERO
First off, congrats on the 100k! You guys truly deserve it and more. Here's 3 questions (sorry if someone else asked them already lol) 1. What does TBR actually mean? XD 2. Have you guys ever considered doing small skits for your channel? Maybe doing some references from your movie reactions. lol 3. How did you guys meet each other, and who asked who out first?
Mr. Writhms
šš„Congratulations and cheers to another year! š„š
Mike Tocci
I've enjoyed a number of your videos, especially the ones covering some of the best from the 70's through the 90's. There are plenty of great actors and directors making movies in that period. I'd like to see some more movie stats from that period; people like Al Pacino, Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson. Oliver Stone, Walter Hill, etc., etc. I know you've done some movies from the above and they've all been great. There's lots more where they came from. Happy New Year!
Florian Meier
Oh yes !! Well Deserved !!! Some Questions... Who is your Favorite Actor? Your Favorite Reaction ? Your Favorite Franchise? I personally Love the Actor Polls, Do you have a Favorite Genre ? A Great Thing would be a Michael Douglas Poll or a 70's or 80's Poll for me
Jonathan Patrick
I want to say at a time I was really going through things, this channel really lifted me up and gave me something to really enjoy and fall in love with. I have a tremendous love of movies and the art of film. Daniel's first introduction video is like music to my ears. Everything he says about the love of sharing a great film with another person....Totally connected with me. I look forward to you guys getting more into Brian DePalma films, director Oliver Stone films, director Edward Zwick, Clint Eastwood directed films, a Brad Pitt binge and Tom Cruise dramas, some older Tom Hanks comedies, and some Van Damme and others. So much to look forward to, you both deliver everytime and I'm happy at your much deserved success. š Itd also be cool to see you both do lives every now and again. My questions... 1) What movies so far on the channel have truly moved you the most and why, and that you now watch again and again in your free time? Any surprises? 2) Rocky is my favorite film franchise. Explain what Rocky and his world means to you both. What did you take away from it. And your thoughts knowing Stallone created and wrote the entire franchise (and directed most of them). Ranking of the films and your favorite parts. 3) No question here, just a suggestion....I would love to support a fast track movie reaction option. There are definitely some awesome movies you would love, that would probably never win a poll. I'd pay for this option. š Thank you both for everything!
ShadowVessel Ļ
Congratulations, guys! š Can't think of anything to ask, so just keep doing what you've been doing and Happy New Year š¤
Paul Cox
What's a film you expected to love based on glowing recommendations and then...didn't? Besides Rosemary's Baby, obviously. Are there any actors you've planned to focus on like you've done with Schwarzenegger, Stallone, et al and then, upon seeing one of their movies, you crossed them off the list? Name names lol! And who are a few you intend to focus on in the future? I'd love to see a short little "day in the life" segment, because you guys do 4 uploads a week with Daniel doing some or all of the editing, AND have irl jobs too, so it's got to be an insane undertakingāand one we're all extremely grateful for. Congrats on the 100K milestone!
Jens Pfennig
Dear Sam & Dear Daniel, First of all: Congrats to 100k subs and the incoming Silver Play Button šÆš¤© I can only dream being able to join the Q&A live with regards to time zone differences and assumining the majority of your patrons coming from the USA. But even if not, I am already looking forward to watching it delayed. I do not have any specific questions, but it would be nice to learn litte bit more about you personal journey and how it lead to creating the best movie reaction channel on YT by far. Lots of love from Northern Germany, Jens
Eric Lee
Congratulations and happy 2023! My burning question is why is there not more puppy on your videos?? I think this photo is the first time I've seen this baby! Name + age + adoption story please!
Jen Barnes
What were each of your favorite movies you watched for the channel? Favorite movies OUTSIDE of those you watched for the channel? Which movies that were better/worse than you expected? The favorite places you've travelled? Places you'd like to travel? How many hours a day do you work on the channel (watching stuff, editing, answering comments)? How did Sam start reacting too? I know Daniel started alone, but was it always your intention to react together? How do you schedule movies? Is there flexibility or is everything mostly set in stone way in the future? Your favorite reactors? Who would you like to do a reaction collaboration with? Include your dog in your videos!
Samuel Bruce
Congratulations!
Donna Castellano
Iāve always been curious about Sam joining the channel. When I found you guys, it was just Daniel. Did you ask her if she wanted to join, Daniel? Did you show interest in joining Daniel for his reactions, Sam? You guys have great post-film/show discussions so thatās been something Iāve wondered about for a while now.
Ian
Have you both always been rams fans or did one of you convert the other ? What movie do you wish you hadn't seen so you could watch it for the first time as a reaction? What's each of your go to snack while watching shows or movies ?
Reed James
How did you two meet?
Reed James
Congrats!
Philip Davetas
Aw. That's so sweet. I can't thank you guys enough for being around. I just watched LW2 and it was like watching it with friends. So, thanks for doing all this.
