*WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS* is CRAZY FUNNY | Movie Reaction & Commentary | First Time Watching

[@miranda4073]

Fun fact - in the second scene with Rhys (werewolves chaining themselves up) Taika told the other werewolf actors to just mess up everything they were told to do and annoy Anton/Rhys as much as possible. Apparently it worked, especially since they were filming very late at night - Rhys was actually getting really agitated while they were filming.

A 'dandy' isn't necessarily an insult; it's a descriptor, here. It's just a man who cares about appearance and fashion.

[@ericisprobablyfullofshit7797]

And the 18th century was the heyday for the dandy. That's when it really became a thing.

[@Ozzy-Jay]

say that to someone from Dandenong Victoria au

[@serahnkahukura8433]

Wellington Paranormal is a great little NZ spin off following the two cops. Very similar dead pan humour

[@Miroslava_Ivanova]

I adore this movie, it's so ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣 Not only is Rhys Darby in this, you can also see Madeleine Sami (Archie) make a cameo as the vampire they meet that says she's been draining a guy for hours and Cohen Holloway (the fisherman Ed is with in 2x8, who he calls Pop pop) plays the werewolf who insulted Viago 😁 Also, Stu isn't played by an actor, that's his actual name and his actual job is what he says in the movie. I believe he was a friend of Taika's that he roped into this insanity 😅 Rhys mentioned in an interview last year that he was actually kind of angry when they were filming the werewolf scenes, as they had to do it at like 2 am and he was cranky from not sleeping and Taika and Jemaine told the other actors to go annoy him on purpose 😅 There are so many fun facts about this movie (I believe they got at least part of their props from leftovers from the Hobbit 😅), you should absolutely look into it. Both of the spin-off shows are great 😁

[@joeypotter6051]

Pretty sure that Cohen Holloway has had a small part in every movie Taika has ever made. When he showed up in OFMD I was like FINALLY!

[@anathardayaldar]

The whole show and series is from one absurd premise that such creatures would tollerate living as roommates. I had roomates for only a few years. Never again. :D

[@jojogarlin8369]

Please I’m begging you🙏🏽. You have to watch the show it’s just as hilarious if not more and the characters are phenomenal. Great reaction love the content

[@TheLexiCrowd]

Planning on uploading the pilot next friday :)

[@jojogarlin8369]

Awesome!! You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much for your content

[@nataliehedstrom1457]

Oh, looking forward to this. I loved the movie but the tv-show is so amazing and have become one of my favorites. @@TheLexiCrowd

[@larryvos4377]

The show is WAYYYY funnier imo. You’re gonna love it

[@Jev_the_fluorescent_shrimp]

​@@larryvos4377no it's not

[@jamesmasefield6109]

Dandy is the 18th century word for hipster. Lol. 😂

[@caitlin329]

Oh 'Vladislav the Poker' is a play on 'Vlad the Impaler' (aka to some as Dracula)

[@filthycasual8187]

AKA to history as Dracula, as that was his surname. But he's not the Count, not in Bram Stoker's book anyway.

[@martymcflown3707]

Your reaction was so charming! I just watched through your Good Omens season 2 reaction and was so happy this popped up next. I highly recommend Wellington Paranormal, which is in the same universe and follows the police officers who showed up at the vampire residence. Jemaine Clement was the showrunner for it, just as he was for the first couple seasons of WWDITS! It's so good.

[@jjlonsdale5971]

Oh, I love this movie. So excited to rewatch the show with you as well. I think one can make the argument that it is the spiritual successor to Buffy that we've been waiting for....... you're going to love it!

[@Silverbirchleaf]

Wellington Paranormal with Minogue and O'Leary (the actors' actual names 😂) is one of my favourite shows of recent years... so if you decide to watch that at some point soon...?

[@bastien-]

After reacting to Our Flag, I knew you'd love this movie. 😄 You'll love the show, too. It keeps the same silly energy and expands on the universe. And like others said, Wellington Paranormal, the spinoff show about the police in the movie, is also very silly and fun. Rhys has a cameo in that, too. Also, you might recognize the swearing werewolf as Pop-Pop the fisherman from the Our Flag S2 finale!

[@sylveandescapism7502]

yayyyy this was so fun to rewatch with you and i can't wait to rewatch the series next!!

[@AnatoleVGC]

I watched this on theaters with no expectation and was so pleasently surprised ❤ the show os really good too. A bit more inconsistent but the highs are just fenomenal

[@ikeettgaming]

If girls find a vampire men by hundred will become vampire hunter in the same time .

[@faithvictoria9014]

This movie is ICONIC

[@johnrussell-bk7lv]

I love that every vampire has a Romanian accent regardless of where they're from. Do you just become Romanian after you've transformed? Is that how it works?

[@lou4073]

Good humour, both you and movie👍

[@LordNifty]

This is one of those movies that would be really easy to get wrong, and be more boring and/or annoying than enjoyable, but it somehow became one of my favorite movies. Don't take it too seriously, and it can be a great time.

[@koguma8823]

glad you enjoyed the movie! it's one of my favorites. i think you should consider watching flight of the conchords! it stars rhys and jemaine (vladislav), and taika directed some episodes! it's absolutely hilarious

[@fayesouthall6604]

The film and the tv series are both great 😊

[@12chapin]

Blade😆. Hello 👋🏻. You'll love the series.

[@phousefilms]

Know it's a lesser known series(and know you're watching the series of this!)but definitely try out "Wellington Paranormal"when you have a chance. It's in the same universe, has a few returning characters from the movie and revolves around Officers Minogue and O'Leary, the police who get hypnotized in the house and think the werewolf attack was a dog attack. Has them investigating different monster. Such a great show!

[@joeypotter6051]

If you enjoy Taika's work, you should watch Boy and Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

[@KevinLopez-jf5ys]

"Bat-Fight!"...

[@ZheToralf]

I really loved this movie, I gotta check out the series one day as well.

[@AnatoleVGC]

Im used to your Buffy reactions so it seems so weird to see you happy

[@TheLexiCrowd]

lmfao

[@paigebailey1369]

I didn't know there was a movie! 🤯 Also! If you haven't seen Ghosts yet, you should add it to your react list!

[@Nekotaku_TV]

Love the movie and the show.

[@JimJack-ng9yi]

The TV series is good and funny too

[@dashumpeding1499]

Happy that you are finally in the silly vampires family! I'm so looking forward to your reaction to the show! In my personal opinion, the show is even better than the movie! The first season is still a little slow, ( still great though) but at the second season it really becomes a wild ride! :)

[@Ozzy-Jay]

You should have been in this! wow

[@melissaisloud7404]

One of the few gems like BUFFY where the series is even better than the film.

[@Will-nn6ux]

The TV show is even funnier than the movie! :D

[@brent5728]

The television show is even funnier

[@johnritter6864]

Its a funny series
