Hidden Figures - Movie Review

[@kingofwakanda6899]

Chris I miss your Oscar Nominations reaction videos. Bring em back!! I'd love to hear your thoughts!!

[@seventyeight3452]

King of Wakanda he says he's done with the oscars

[@galenmarek7107]

Everyone is done with the Oscars lol.

[@MarcAVelez]

Seventy Eight I want to see what he thought of the kubo nomination

[@leekepwn]

speak for yourself. The noms are about the best they could be for the year. Very good year.

[@SUSAN-pu8hz]

Is this your job?

[@Melicioel7]

So that's it huh, we're some kind of...Notification Squad?

[@Marvelmania360]

Lol

[@alonsoarana5307]

[@anotidachitando9220]

Eddard Liebber Yes we are

[@OscarGomez-cu9vm]

Alonso Arana It's not almost as bad. It IS as bad as the thing it's referencing.

[@calimerohnir3311]

+Eddard Liebber your jokes are awful and I love it!

[@bleh7417]

Am I the only one who's loves the fact that Chris's wife is starting to join in reviewing films?

[@BARALover96]

Bleh yeah i enjoyed the sialor moon r review

[@joemamma137]

Bleh yes

[@blodiaaa6990]

I dunno.

[@blodiaaa6990]

SaphricPCGaming don't worry my friend. we're all alone and ugly in our mid to late twenties, single with no hope in sight. You're not alone my friend. bask in your sorrow, accept it.

[@underwaterlady]

Bleh I think you are. makes the reviews longer and she seems to have terrible taste

[@siegfriedfinal343]

do more reviews with your wife. Its lovely seeing you two interact.

[@siegfriedfinal343]

Also senpai notice me

[@siegfriedfinal343]

[@mrt445]

For some odd reason I thought his wife would be Asian.

[@kato093]

Yeah sure shitty review sure... Btw wtf is she wearing? Is she a nun or something??

[@sems1193]

My favorite is when anti-sjw get triggered by "pc" movies. It's a beautiful irony.

[@tiktokexposed898]

SEMS more like racist people

[@SaberRexZealot]

Backstage Bums Pfft, no! What are you? Fucking rational?

[@starrynightfall00]

LOL so true! KZbin is infested with extremely sensitive anti-sjws these days. Somehow they can relate every video to back sjws XD

[@Mind_of_MATT]

Backstage Bums Exactly & yes please.

[@johnquincyadamsthetankengi3680]

SEMS My favorite is when SJWs get triggered by generalizations/strawmen they created to slander anti-SJWs. It's a beautiful irony.

[@Nosferatu981]

Why in the ever loving fuck did this get a best picture nomination over Silence?

[@lightskintwin]

Silence got no momentum and then bombed at the box office. It was a pretty easy film to ignore.

[@WowserPalooza]

+lightskintwin Agreed.

[@gothicparadise97]

lightskintwin I wanted to see Silence but it was only in theatres for like 3 weeks so by the time I had the time to see it, it was gone..

[@ilikeemerica9619]

Bill Shakes I know I saw it twice and was bummed that it got no love.

[@starkingbiker]

Bill Shakes over silence, nocturnal animals, sing street, etc etc. This is the worst kind of oscar bait ala The Help, Theory of Everything and so on

[@jarrid7569]

So, we're some kind of Hidden Figures?

[@jennifermc1221]

hahaha :'D

[@justin33.44]

[@johnhelf597]

This movie just seems like Oscar bait paid off. I guess I'm just salty about Silence and Sing Street 😔

[@abenaadu-offeh7040]

I was thinking the exact same thing at first i was like year but after looking at a synopsis it seems more oscarbaity

[@dudestylish16]

also amy adams did not get nominated...

[@TheCapelessCrusader]

Young James Franco Agreed on _Sing Street_. Fuck you _Trolls_.

[@thegirllikesmovies7389]

Young James Franco the oscars are a sham. Up until the mid 80s it was genuinely about the best performances and best films. Then it became a popularity contest filled with politics. I don't even watch the awards shows anymore they award mediocrity over substance more often then not.

[@FreakieFan]

Sing Street and Deadpool are great films but definitely did not deserve to be nominated for a best picture

[@RomanFanboy]

I wish you did a Oscar nomination reaction

[@TeriBot]

QueefCookie same

[@1997residente]

He said on facebook he wished your name would have been nominated for best animated picture and he is happy for hacksaw ridge,la la land and moonlight.

[@Kinescopia_YT]

I dont know why he stopped It seems he ragequitted on the Academy after 2014 noms but it seems wierd to me considering many movies he liked were nominated and he was pleasedly surprised (Kaguya, Nightcrawler, Birdman, Whiplash) It should had balanced all those nominations with the Jake Gyllenhall Snub he was so upset about

[@minanabil4649]

+Mo V ids i think he stopped because they snubed jake gyllenhaal for nightcrawler

[@andimason3370]

The amount of underhand or outright abusive comments on this thread is frankly disturbing. Complaints at a film are fine but how about keeping it to the areas of actual film production and not turning the comments into a chorus of "I'm not racist, but..."

[@hardmanemay861]

From the YT comments section? Impossible.

[@MelMelodyWerner]

Those people are great, because you always know they'll finish with something blatantly racist like "I think them monkeys should be hangin' from trees". Some are obviously just trolling but I've seen too many people who've ACTUALLY thought that kind of shit. It's insanity.

[@barban534]

Lol i just went through a quick search through the comments out of 40 comments: 10 had to do with complaining about the comments in the video, 20 were people saying this was an amazing movie that influenced them, 5 people were asking questions about his wife, 3 people were complaining about the movie either about the child characters or that it was boring, and 2 people complaining that they hated this style of review.

[@rterrell12]

Thomas Mason welcome to the Internet. Can't stop it.

[@Mariomario-gt4oy]

some people are really triggered by this movie lmao

[@tiktokexposed898]

Mario Pendic racist people are

[@spacemonkeyentertainment6413]

Your view is overly simplistic, that's like saying everyone watching the movie is only virtue signaling. I saw the movie, found it mediocre to alright and that is it. And apparently finding flaws with the movie is deemed yet again "racist", which is why people get annoyed, because it is a blanket statement aimed at silencing opposition. Even more i believe it's a cash in movie on the current social environment, there is nothing daring about such a movie anymore which makes it's point kinda moot for me. The fact that you can predict key moments in the movie before the first minute doesn't help either, it's just so formulaic, but it works fine as that i think. At least they didn't let Paul Feig direct the movie i guess, now that would have been a desaster =)

[@Mariomario-gt4oy]

SpaceMonkeyEntertainment what the fuck are you talking about? Nobody said you can't dislike a movie The vast majority of people that got butthurt are idiots who have a problem with someone who isn't their skin color being portrayed as doing something good historically against great odds at that time. And how is calling you a racist "silencing" you? Grow up

[@spacemonkeyentertainment6413]

How did you assert that it is the vast majority ? What do you define as "butthurt" ? Depending on what you think is being butthurt it might or might not be true. I don't like it, because it is formulaic, which holds it back imo. I don't have a problem with that per se, but it is far from the great movie i have been seeing people write about. And no, it wasn't my too high expectations, because i only read up on it after i had seen it. As to the silencing part, it is about labeling your conversation partner in a way that allows you to dismiss all they say based on said label, thus the distinction of free speech and hatespeech. Sure you can say all you want, but don't offend anyone or you will be "shut down". Also, even if i was as young as you are implying, what would my age have to do with the discussion ? So thanks for infantilizing me, so you can dismiss an opinion you don't like. Though i realize it was a rhetorical remark to express your disagreement, so i won't go into this petty matter further. Not to deviate from the discussion, but i think the movie portrays the characters quite believably, they are remarkable women, and depending on interpretation it might even make the arguement that if you want to overcome oppression you have to be great, it even dismisses the activist character in the movie (a point that is completely disregarded or even twisted in some of the more politically charged reviews of the movie). From what i've read about the background (i had no idea of the events at NASA prior to that) it is rather faithful to the events, even if dramatized for the purpose of the movie, so that's cool. In the current social climate the messages might come off as preachy though, because they are repeated over and over today, hence the accusation of "cash in". I assume people believe that if you already buy into systemical oppression today the movie will reinforce that belief. To me it is just a movie set in an undeniably significantly racist time period. No need to to project more into it than it is. Yet it gets praises for all the wrong reasons imo.

[@Mariomario-gt4oy]

john smith troll

[@gabby.maya11]

I don't think white people may get the deeper personal meaning that black women will get. For me, as a black Woman, I was so extremely moved by it. It's so rare to see black women portrayed well on screen and it was so refreshing to see myself reflected in the film. This film is so important and I don't think it was at all Oscar bait. It totally deserved all the recognition it got.

[@biancalord488]

Gabrielle Henderson Well said. I cried throughout the movie. It was very emotional

[@BeardFaceSuper]

Because us whitey's are emotionless monsters who cannot sympathize with anyone.

[@Ishaankaushal1]

David Butt She is saying black people( espically women) can relate and enjoy the movie because of the history. Not that a white person can't relate alot, it's more commen for a black person to.

[@ernestsysbm1175]

David Butt no one is saying that... omfg 😥😒

[@thedarktedrises968]

This is one of the most moving films of 2016 and I'm hispanic. Also, the director/writer of the film is a white guy. I get what your saying, but don't assume..

[@noahlassen9999]

I can see that Mrs. Stuckmann has got that Mr. Stuckmann syndrome.... She was into everything when Growing up

[@firetopman]

Yep, she's been Stuckmannized.

Happy wife, happy life. I had to learn that the hard way :/

[@ButWithout]

I love the reviews you do with your wife!! Great having not only a different perspective, but a woman's perspective

[@almightyloaf5918]

Do an episode of SpongeBob without SpongeBob

[@cac_sky3457]

the connection of the title “Hidden Figures” to the story of the movie?

[@rurutuM]

this movie was pretty bland and basic

[@sugreev2001]

It's a completely fabricated one as well. Two of those women are the lightest looking Black women ever, and they purportedly never faced any kind of racism from NASA members whatsover.

[@galenmarek7107]

Worked well with the Oscars enough. Sadly.

[@Huhmasta]

you're a dumbass if you think being LIGHT SKINNED black made any fucking difference to how they were treated

[@taurinserotonin9994]

It was a shit film

[@tulip324]

sugreev2001 I highly doubt that. You don't have to get called the N word to experience racism. And just because they were light didn't mean they were white. It didn't matter back then, if you were any part black you got treated as such. They didn't get paid the same, never got credit for their work and even after all these years they were erased from the history books and put out of sight. As if what they did was not only groundbreaking for NASA. It was ground breaking for women, especially black women. You can miss me with the "they weren't even oppressed that badly" argument because it's bull and ignorant.

[@aniketbagchi8695]

Hey chris do a video on your thoughts about the title of the next star wars ep 8 the last jedi

[@aniketbagchi9764]

yes please!!

[@wiredupauhi]

BIG BOSS why wat

[@skymine21]

BIG BOSS there already enough people doing that

[@raj_whitewolf]

BIG BOSS Yeah lets do a video about a fucking title. Smh.. And we already know what that title means.. Its Luke

[@aniketbagchi8695]

What bugs me is that jedi is simgular as well as plural. So jedi or the last couple of them or like what??

[@omalor]

so are you two in the same room at the same time or what?

[@FadiAntwan]

Why dos she wear the headscarf thing on some days but not others?

[@samzilla567]

Yep, she wears the Tichel for modesty.

[@boribori609]

he gives it an A- you're welcome!

[@jessec.6876]

why your welcome?

[@greenanubis]

Of course he gave it an A,even if minus. If he gave it a B or lower, he would have bad couple of months in bed with his wife.

[@jessec.6876]

The Infidel oh well thats you but majority of his audience likes to sit through his 11 minute videos to see his full thoughts on the film just saying

[@BeardFaceSuper]

+Divine Linker idk about that, but people would probably accuse him of racism and sexism.

[@Wingedmagician]

more of a C+

[@sunnyzilla4]

This should not have been nominated for Best Picture

[@hairltabbjr94]

Rohan Prince Why not?

[@violetchambers2677]

Hairl TabbJr94 It's good. But there were more deserving contenders that should have been nominated.

[@123rockfan]

+Brandon Badgett like edge of seventeen

[@ToxicTurtleIsMad]

123rockfan like fucking silence....

[@NSFSponsor]

123rockfan Edge of Seventeen is overrated as shit.

[@lawrencedockery9032]

So, still not review for Patriots Day?

[@creamithmanning2632]

Mick Jones Patriots Day is far from patriotic. It's a cash grab capitalizing on a tragedy that is still fresh in the minds of the many people who experienced it. It's also an exercise in stroking Mark Wahlberg's ego.

[@lawrencedockery9032]

+JonTron Did you actually see Patriots Day? It was a very well made movie and it did right by the people in Boston. Very respectfully made.

[@creamithmanning2632]

Lawrence Dockery I saw it and I liked it fine. I am, however, expressing the sentiment that other people feel and I likewise share. If you think it's any less of a cashgrab because they didn't do something incredibly stupid, then you're hopelessly naïve. Also, who are you to say what did RIGHT by the people of Boston? The reception I've seen from actual Bostonions is mixed at best and uncomfortable at worst.

[@warbabyfox117]

Well that escalated quickly

[@RyanHall42]

How many movies will Marky star in where he's at the center of a disaster being some made up hero? Didn't he say he would have punched the terrorists on the plane? I don't think Stuckman needs to start reviewing fantasy porn

[@insertcheesypunhere]

A local girl from my town played one of the character's younger version. My dad knows her older adoptive brother. I'm so excited to see this movie.

[@brandensmith7966]

The movie itself was sorta bland, but what makes it great is that it's a true story that never got told. Sure it was Oscar baity and they embellished some parts, but isn't that almost every biopic or period piece nowadays? Anti-sjws need to stop getting triggered because these weird "titted creatures" with skin darker than theirs are getting more spotlight

[@akhilnair1137]

Branden Smith not really , the script was actually pretty tight and had multiple subplots that helped with the original plot with fantastic acting . I don't see why it shouldn't be nominated.

[@charlescampbell5894]

I don't like when you do reviews like this. I don't mind when it's two people on a couch, these just seem like an interview. If you're gonna do multiple people in your reviews do it like the Schmoes.

[@plo617]

Charles Campbell It's kinda like Siskel & Ebert.

[@umr_lnt]

Charles Campbell its jarring because they're not looking at the camera, then Chris turns to look at the camera to talk to us. Super weird, like we're listening on a convo or something

[@ToxicTurtleIsMad]

plo617 did you seriously compare these 2 to siskel and ebert OMG IM DYING

[@plo617]

Mert Amasyalı Lol no, I was trying to say that the format of facing each other in conversation style review is like Siskel & Ebert. That the two most famous reviewers movie critics used that style as well. Come on..

[@rmckenna19]

I LOVE it when you have Sam join in on reviews. One question, why do you do the switching shot thing in these? I find that just a touch distracting versus having you both in frame talking to each other (like you did recently with Flick).

[@Kiddowesth]

The double camera setup is a bit annoying. One shot with both of you in it would be more calming and intriguing to watch.

[@blueg8731]

Excellent review, Chris. Great movie, too.

[@blueg8731]

P.S. She always enjoys... "joining you"? Way to go!

[@spykermationproductions5317]

Look, I'm no SJW. In fact I'm totally against that shit, but seriously. Calm the fuck down, guys. This movie isn't SJW bullshit like Ghostbusters 2016 was. This movie is about something that ACTUALLY happened. Don't get your panties in a twist.

[@nickih3991]

Really enjoyed this film. I really liked the soundtrack to this film as well.

[@il100374]

I feel like Chris' wife is the most PC chick in Ohio. She gives off that women's march vibe

[@kidlitfanful]

The Infidel Hiding it? Not at all, it's part what I like about him, his reviews are well- constructed, usually witty AND he calls out sexism and toxic masculinity. "Sensitive?" Oh, horrors, someone who acts like an actual human being rather than some idiot caricature of masculinity.

[@maximumgainpodcast4835]

Did you watch Patriots Day??? please review it!! I fucking love that movie!

[@maximumgainpodcast4835]

Favorite movie of 2017!

[@avxx0035]

It's a fake story .

[@maximumgainpodcast4835]

Avxx00 Oh, but I liked it's execution a lot, whether it fake or not

[@avxx0035]

Who cares if you liked it, it was still propaganda bullshit .

[@maximumgainpodcast4835]

Avxx00 ok dude, everyone has their opinions. I just want to hear what Stuckmann feels about it

[@YourLoyalDeserter]

First off, great review. Long time fan, but I have some constructive criticism if you're open to it. I don't think the cinematography works here. The way to do this would probably be in one shot with both people in it or by moving both cameras closer to the 180 degree line so we're not looking at you guys from such a sharp angle. Both people are looking too far away from the camera.

[@georgebelle7278]

This new format makes me feel like a third wheel on a blind date

[@SlickTrademarc]

nice that Sam's doing reviews with you but the ISO or something is messed up on her camera.

[@Jxsteel8]

Chris, great job with the wifey. I like the way she express herself.

[@eckojerry]

That particular scene where she goes off about having to "hold it in" was so powerful! Also, the court scene about being "the first" was another great moment in this film.

[@SpudBro1]

The new two shots doesn't look natural...

[@MicoDossun]

One issue I have with this movie is that I feel like they don't give all three of them equal exposure. Janelle Monae is great in the movie but I felt they cut out what could've potentially been the most interesting aspects of studying for her court case and having to take her classes. Also that whole "she ran to the colored bathroom" thing is fake. She was a badass who decided that "I work for NASA I'm not using a different bathroom!" but they had to make it seem like Kevin Costner was a Good Guy who stuck his neck out.

[@artheaux666]

Please disable the comments, it's getting terrible down here with all these ASJWs complaining about something that actually happened. Had this movie come out in 90s, nobody would complain. But because it's 2017, ASJWs need something else to complain about with SJWs.

[@drumsandroses22]

Austin Peewwaarss don't forget about inappropriate comments toward his wife.

[@tiktokexposed898]

Austin Peewwaarss he doesn't need to disable the comments. We just have to pay these morons no attention. Honestly when did this sjw/anti sjw thing even start

[@artheaux666]

The Infidel You lot are finding and picking things to complain about. "Oh Chris's wife is a SJW" and "Another women movie we have to like or we're sexist" and "feminists propaganda" Like whaaat? It's a biopic about something in history. What is there to complain about besides whether or not you like the movie. Like I said before, had this come out decades ago, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

[@ProxyDoug]

Oh, no! Ideas, shut it down! Can't have that on my comment section.

[@artheaux666]

The Infidel That's called common themes or subject matter, not type cast. Don't get those mixed up. They are black woman in STEM, how many of those characters exist in film to the point it's typecast? Typecast would be the 'wise cracking side kick' or 'hood booger' or 'struggling black in the ghettos'. The movies objective was to get more woman into STEM since there are very few that take up on the field. Which I can agree with. Yet I can agree with you that it is another Oscar bait movie; just like the rest of the movies nominated this year. I'm not saying everyone is assuming it's feminist propaganda, but I believe since people are tired of the tried and true subject matter of dealing with real world dark themes, they feel the need to attack viewers, critics and 'Hollywood elites' for enjoying something many put a lot of effort and money into. That's coming from someone who thought this movie was okay.

[@lconicTV]

I LOVE the fact that this movie doesn't have a political agenda. It doesn't pander to certain political issues that are happening right now, and considering the subject matter, it would have been easy and even justified in certain places. This is a textbook example of diversity done right, and I hope more studios follow in Hidden Figures footsteps in regards to having a diverse cast without getting political (which is becoming harder and harder for certain movies to do nowadays).

[@oak8878]

Do a review for The Wailing, you'll be blown away by how good it is!!

[@lndintw]

as someone who is just starting cinematography at Full Sail University .... can anyone tell me how is filming both him and his wife ? ....like does he have two cameras on him and one on his wife both filming at the same time ? I'm not going even ask how he edit this cause I'll probably get too overwhelmed lol to sum it up .....how is he doing the cuts ? man I got so much to learn in school 😭

Hey Chris can you review the Prestige in preparation for Dunkirk?

[@carolcosta743]

His wife is so adorable! I love this kind of conversation for a review, and specially for this movie review specifically. Her remarks were awesome

[@sweetbabyboo5]

They're not just female scientist they're Black and their race does matter hence the name of the movie. This review was annoying to me as a minority because both of you are missing the point of the movie. BLACK WOMEN being great in a White Male dominated world/field.

[@MTTT19]

I love Octavia Spencer

[@MrJulrock]

Great review and for a great movie! There were only a hand full of people in the theater, but we all applauded at the end. One question about you're video, why did you do the cuts to either you or your wife depending on who was talking instead of both of you sitting in front of the one camera like you usually do when you have guests on the show?

[@jfree672]

i am not a big fan of split shots... i want you two on cam together pls :(

[@BlackNerd94]

I have a very deep appreciation for this channel. Thank you for working so diligently to create the quality of content that I've come to enjoy so much.

[@amybrown1823]

The lovely Mrs. Stuckmann is here!

[@PleaseBeNiceToEachOther]

People criticising this review because of what Chris' wife is wearing and because they personally disagree with her liking the movie in her review (a review is an opinion for crying out loud), are the exact reason why people see KZbin as a bastion of ignorant idiocy.

[@bluetomato61]

Chris! Do an Oscar Nom video! Don't forget to mention Kubo and the 2 Strings :) I feel like those hollywood bigwigs don't even watch the animated movies and just go with the Disney choice.

[@tulip324]

That laugh at the end was like when the awkward kids gets a compliment from his crush and he has no idea how to take it! Ahah It's cute that she still makes him feel that way.

[@benjitodtenhagen4309]

So that's it, huh? We're some kinda....Hidden Figures?

[@solala6325]

Captain Rogers Did-Did you just Will Smith me XD

[@owiseone1]

It's nice seeing Sam on a review but I think this would have worked better if you guys were in the same frame. This setup feels like what you'd use for an interview.

[@TheJezza223]

Just got back from seeing it and I loved it. The performances were amazing, such a refreshing film about "Hidden Figures".

[@chriscavalier1912]

Hey Chris! I'm glad you finally got to the reviewing of this film! I've been waiting lol. I was lucky enough to act in this important film. I think you hit all great points in the review. I love the style of the video too! Thank you for pointing out how important it is for young kids and teens to watch this film. They could have easily made it PG-13, but I feel they did the right thing there. A lot of people disagree unfortunately. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

[@mishaalmalik3857]

Why are they kinda awkward together?

[@bflakes]

Love your reviews Chris. Although the framing in this one is a little awkward honestly. If you had a third camera to show a wide of both of you periodically it would be a little better. Or just set up one wide and have you both sit next to each other with just one camera. Just a thought. Keep it up man! You do great work.

[@luciddre4m]

Cool review, but sit side by side next time!

[@brandondebruin375]

When you get a new blue ray, do you have to shift all the other ones over?

[@paulalopez3614]

Hey Chris, just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying these videos with your wife. At first I wasn't sure since I thought it'd take away some of the focus, but it's the whole opposite. They give the videos a new focus and an interesting dynamic. Not sure how many you plan on doing with her but you should do these more often.

[@JoseHernandez-hb8vf]

Chris your camera angles between you and your wife are awkward and feels jarring. Maybe a wide angle would have worked better.

[@NeoTemplar]

Just my personal opinion but I prefer your reviews by yourself. And I just really do not watch to hear what your wife thinks of a movie. No hate, just one man's view.

[@badpoisonnightshade]

So this will be a great movie to watch when a class has a substitute teacher, I remember when I was in school how small the selection was, by the time I graduated high school I could quote Remember the Titans.

"Hidden Figures" is without a doubt a very good movie. However it tells only a small slice of the full story, from 1961 to John Glenn's flight in 1962. Actually NASA (and its predecessor agency NACA, the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics) had been hiring black female "computers" (That was their actual job title; this was before the age of electronic computers. What they did was data reduction using conversion formulas.) since 1943. If you want to know the full story of the black ladies at NASA (many more than three), you should read the book "Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Who Helped Win the Space Race" written by Margot Lee Shetterly. The writting is very well done, and at times even elegant. And naturally the book goes into much more detail than any movie could possibly do.

[@JavierSanchez-mo2ef]

Man. The movie is fine but I couldn't stop laughing at the thought of this being the perfect Oscar bait for 2016.

[@shinra94]

Completely wrong video to comment on, but would you ever review Train to Busan (one of the best zombie movies to come out recently) and The Handmaiden (Park chan wook's new film)?? Big fan of your reviews!

[@jennifermc1221]

Chris and Sam vids are SOOO GOOD!

[@Orgikan]

When you do the conversation videos, you could center the person a little more in the frame. The empty space oppupying the frames during the whole video gets a little distracting :)

[@rocketpunchgo1]

36 people don't like Chris' wife

[@TriplePJ]

500 now buddy lol

[@TheCreepypro]

I love these joint videos but why did you set it up so that you two were never in the same frame together out of curiosity?

[@butcher568]

You two are a very nice couple.

[@dave5194]

My only complaint of the movie, and it's more of a nitpick, but there was one scene in it where they basically did the equivalent of the "pencil through paper worm hole explanation" trope to dumb things down for the audience. First off, everyone in the room were supposed to be geniuses, the best and brightest NASA could get. To have it dumbed down like that and have them asking redundant questions in such a toddler talk way on things that they clearly were already working on and knew just felt completely out of place. Secondly, it's a NASA movie! C'mon, expect more of your audience than that; besides, much of the math was already glossed over anyways and treated as magic because it's more focused on the history than the math anyways, so I don't know why they had to stick that in there. Plus, even with the dumbed down explanation, it still wasn't done well, nor was it crucial to the plot to understand it.

[@doijodeinc]

Talk to your audience man...not to each other if you are reviewing

[@hajeraa]

it's cutee !! (:

[@MJSpiderman7116]

asfdgdg why does that matter? Ebert and Roeper/Siskel and Ebert had one of the best movie review shows ever, and they talk directly to each other. The banter and their differing perspectives are part of the fun.

[@doijodeinc]

MJSpiderman7116 oh get lost you annoying rat

[@MJSpiderman7116]

asfdgdg hahahahaha wtf

[@DennisStanfield]

I agree with everything you guys said. The director did say he wished he could have had more time with the families, but it was about the 3 ladies. I saw it, loved it and can't wait for my daughter to see.

[@zeke1171]

When does the sequel come out HIDDEN FIGURES 2: ALIEN ALGEBRA 😜

[@parkerbrown953]

insurgence resurrection returns strikes back the final chapter

[@Robkinggozer]

Chris have you seen The Girl With All The Gifts? Think you'll like it.

[@aniketbagchi9764]

So thats it huh?! we are some kind of Hidden Figures?? Please dont hate me!! 😅

[@22ninja1]

Finally can you do Patriots Day or A Monster Calls?

[@arbee89]

I was not a fan of this movie leaving the theater and the more I thought I about, the more I really disliked it. It feels so Lifetime-y to me. There was no drama, there was no suspense. I didn't sense the real racial tension because in the back of my mind I knew that it was going to end up okay. None of the melodramatic moments they went for were actually earned. Especially when Katherine freaks out on Kevin Costner's character. There was no build up and tension between the characters to lead up to it. She just blew up. It felt misplaced. But maybe that's just me. It was well-acted, although I really don't think Octavia Spencer turned in an Oscar worthy performance. I thought she was solid, not great. I don't know, I just expect more out of a Best Picture nominee, especially since there were a couple other movies that deserved nods over this one (A Monster Calls, Silence, The Edge of Seventeen, etc)

[@TheDemiFan4Evr]

Alex Bisel it was based on a true story. Did you want them to make up more drama and suspense to serve your interest, concerning entertainment, better?

[@arbee89]

First, I understand this is based on a true story. However, if you don't think was condensed as far as time period was concerned and that the dialog was verbatim what they said in the 60s, then you may need a reality check. Movies based on a true story commonly invent dialog for the purpose of the story. There's no way they could capture everything a person says in their day to day life and make a compelling story out of it. The writers/director (actually one of the writers was the director) definitely could have done a better job at sequencing scenes and creating more tension. I'm not talking about making up events but grounding scenes in reality rather than the melodrama they seem to have captured here. And yes, I'm speaking specifically to the Oscar bait scene that Taraji has when she flies off the handle at Kevin Costner. It was over the top and unnecessary, especially when that character had never directly discriminated against her. If it was Jim Parsons, I would completely understand. But her anger at Costner was unearned.

[@jackhavenar303]

Alex Bisel Grrr!! You stupid racist! You must hate black people if you didn't like this movie!!!! (sarcasm)

[@tim-tbone5513]

Alex Bisel I respect your opinion. However I believe the reason u might think that she blew up in his face out of nowhere is because she was finally letting out the anger she had been holding in ever since she started working there.

[@salmaabdullahgb]

I kinda agree, I feel like it didn't get deep enough into anything like a kids version of someones life

[@tangotanjo1908]

My friend actually worked with Theodore Melfi on one of his first movies. It was a dumb movie on the Syfy channel.

[@jadipeperzak4034]

So thats it huh?? We some kinda Hidden Figures ??? btw i have just seen moonlight and it was fucking awesome i hope mahershala ali wins the oscar for best actor in a supporting role over michael shannon .. michael shannon just plays some kinda crazy person , mahershala ali has a much more complex role , and he felt so real to me ... it was like i was watching a real person ... i never have that ... and his emotions were amazing.... but if you want an oscar these days ... playing crazy is the way to go.. But everyone in moonlight was amazing .. they deserve certain oscars more than la la land .. though the cinematography was really good in moonlight ( really good ) i would say that i would give the oscar for best achievement in cinematography to la la land this year , slightly...

[@JoshTruff]

I think Hell or Highwater guy should win, I thought he was outstanding

[@jadipeperzak4034]

Jeff bridges ???

[@JoshTruff]

Nah the brother.

[@BrynjarReynisson]

JoshTruff Jeff Bridges was the only actor nominated for that movie

[@fortblocks]

Why the jump cuts? Are you two not in the same room at the same time?

[@kurtsiecolferites2160]

Absolutely LOVE this movie. It has a great message, it’s well acted and I also like the fact that it’s kid friendly. Kids NEED to see movies like this!

[@nitsugazemag]

I agree with mostly everything, but I think that the movie doesn't deter too much from the flow with those little instances. I'm sure that their marriage is important to the real people, but I didn't feel that it was necessary to the plot. I feel that there was sufficient amount of time given to their out-of-work lives just enough to show that they are human, and have their own struggles and lives beyond their jobs, but the movie illustrates that well by not giving us too much because these women spent most of their time at work. I loved that they gave us those small bits of pieces to reveal their domestic sides. I think it was an adequate amount. I'm glad that the movie didn't chose a course where they focus too much on their lives outside. Not to say it's not important, but it's not really in service of the historical work that I didn't know about until recent. I think that the moments outside of NASA worked to reveal their humanity, but didn't get too caught up into what I think is unnecessary melodrama that could have bogged the movie down. LOVED this movie, and am so upset that these women didn't get much wide recognition as they deserved when they all were living. Only Katherine is alive and received the medal of freedom under a black president. This is an IMPORTANT film that everyone should see. Easily, one of the best of 2016!

[@awxsl1468]

your wife is so sweet

[@otavioTBS]

Chris, when you watch a movie with your wife, do the review with her. its very cool to see you two talk about movies, its really exciting actually

[@iivnkss]

Better late than never 😊

[@ryklatortuga4146]

Classy turning to address the camera "just between the three of us" style. Informative yet relaxed. Good work.
