I actually have PMDD, and this is a brilliant take 👌
Maisie
Maybe Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder?
Christina Moxon
I'd not seen this one before. Not a bad movie. Definately got me thinking back to being a teenager (althoughI feel my entry into periods was a lot less manic. And I don't recall any pandas). Thanks for the watch, Oscar. I enjoyed your take on this.
Khazar
I think Mom's Panda might actually be a representation of mental health issues. too huge, too unpredictable to be left untreated.
Jordenne Beltrame
You should check out the series Dream Productions. It is an Inside Out TV series about Riley's dreams. It is hilarious!
Raquel
I mean I started that crap at 11 honestly... My mom said she started around 9!
Maike_Staytiny
I can just recommend them to you, if you'll like them depends on you, but i personally love their diverse style so much
Isabella
Should I start listening to ateez?? I feel like I should… blackpink was my first EVER concert in 2023 and me and my dad are going this year again for my birthday im so pumped
Maike_Staytiny
Sameee, 2022 in Berlin was my first Ateez/K-pop/ever concert
Casper
they were my first kpop concert ever, it was after the pandemic, I'm going to go see stray kids this summer I'm so excited
Dametrahl Martin
Yep!
Maike_Staytiny
Ateez🤩
Casper
kpop fan here! who did you go see??
steph
💜💜
Isabella
love the bts picture❤️
steph
What a charming and beautiful movie 🥺 I enjoyed watching with you!
Sarah Marion
Did anyone else steal from their parent’s liquor cabinet at those awkward teen parties?

The plot is all over the place, brings up multiple conflicts and doesn't really resolve them until the very end and then a bit too neatly for the message it's trying to send. And I think it tries to be both supernatural and highly realistic, and doesn't do a good job trying to be both. Some people do relate very strongly to it, which is a great thing, but I think that (plus the way it was written off for stupid reasons that have nothing to do with actual criticism, by a small but loud faction of people online) makes people gloss over what I think are legitimate criticisms. 💜
Sarah Marion
Mei and every other girl needs to be told that what she’s going through and what she’s feeling is natural. Its bad enough that girls her age often feel insecure so to feel bloated, moody, and out of place just makes it worse
Sarah Marion
Yeah, this is the average 13 year old girl experience
Isabella
that’s so upsetting I’m sorry love :( I hope things get better for you soon❤️

Both the pandas and 4Town singing together got me singing along! 😁😁
Louisa
Thanx a lot! It works! 🥳

What I do is either copy then link to a browser. Or If you’re on iPhone there is a safari icon at the corner and it will open a browser for you.
Louisa
Hi Oscar, love your reactions but I was wondering if there is a possibility to rotate the video? I can only watch them with my phone in stand up position. Keep cozy my friend 🫶🏻
Isabella
I was wondering that as well… he must have downloaded it from some website that had the movie in Spanish version….
azulaghoul
why was the writing in spanish?
Isabella
I was literally dying😭
Maike_Staytiny
It was ateez for me yesterday and from all the K-pop concerts I've been to so far, this one had the best energy, even they were like 'damn your energy today is insane'🫠
Isabella
yes omg I went to see blackpink in 2023 and the blinks energy was off the charts!!!
Maike_Staytiny
Watching this now is so funny, I've just been to a concert of a K-pop group yesterday and 4town fans have the exact same energy🤣🤣
Bungus Fungus
Oscar, you're timing is impeccable my friend. My monthlies started today and you post this 🤣 Not me crying over the movie casually and unashamedly mentioning pads, when it was such a source of shame for girls to be seen with them when I was in middle school 🥹
Bungus Fungus
"You are so hard on yourself, and if I taught you that... I'm sorry" As a daughter of loving but strict immigrant parents, this movie hit me like a ton of bricks in so many ways, especially with that quote ❤️🩹
Astoria
Am I the only one who thinks the growing beard looks good on Oscar?
Astoria
Something I always questioning, Meimei is 13 and her mother said "it's too early" The whole film is more or less about 'growing up and becoming a woman'. And I love it's in early 2000s with the CDs and all the stuff we had.
aleena
could you explain more specifically? personally i thought it was really cohesive and every choice they made was ultimately intentional, so i'm just wondering about your perspective :)
aleena
1:21:23 "these guys just have permanent aura" HELP BAHAHAHA
aleena
LOVE THIS MOVIE. "why are they called 4town when there are 5 of them?" 🗣️🔥‼️
Isabella
totally agree!
Rhetorical Thrill
I really like a lot of what this movie tries to do, and there are plenty of fun and relatable moments, but as a whole I think it fumbles the execution. It feels like five different movies and can't seem to stick to a cohesive narrative. It's not terrible or anything, I just think there was a lot of potential that didn't pay off.
Emilie Fredriksen
Ahh hell yeah !!! I have been waiting for this 🙌🙌🤍 Day 55: of suggesting (my girl 1991)
Rhetorical Thrill
I think that's an oversimplification in the extreme. I'm sure some people did write it off for those reasons, but this movie has a lot of problems from a filmmaking standpoint. There's nothing wrong with enjoying it but those certainly aren't the only reasons people criticize it.
Rhetorical Thrill
Onward is very underrated. Like this one, I think it stumbles in its execution at times but the story I found more relatable and coherent.
Jada
i remember people not liking onward and i never understood it, its an underrated gem for sure
Teej
Watching this movie for the second time now… It hits home for a lot of us women and girls who were raised to be “the good little girl.” What parents don’t always realize is that only enforcing the “be a good girl” is not always beneficial to the child, as it really is just conducive to an efficient family life for the parents. I know it very well, and for me, I still have issues with saying no, I constantly apologize for my existence and never take up space, and have a constant feeling of never being good enough. I like how this film enforces breaking the cycle of generational trauma and being more free.
Jim Schmitz
Articulate as always. So, Oscar, who's the real you?
Maisie
Aww I'm glad you reacted to this! I appreciated how open you were to it. Honestly I think the world would be a much better place if guys actively tried to understand what women go through, and visa versa.
Raquel
This one is so fun! Great reaction as usual! I thought of a few more movies to watch: Balto 1,2 & 3 (admittedly the first one is the best of this franchise, but I really love the second one as well! third one's just ok) The Last Man on Earth (series) the Last Unicorn :)
lola
i'm so glad you reacted to this! this movie really hits home for me, especially the cultural elements
Teej
I’ve only seen this movie once when it came out. I can’t wait to watch it again!
Jim Schmitz
I think "Onward" would resonate more with him than this one. Good call!.
MewTwo Medici
Love Turning Red! I’m a big Pixar fan & would love it if U could also add ONWARD to your watch list! Highly recommend it
Shané Kummer
How exciting, Aussie..I'm on break at work right..I might watch later..I never see it before. I'm grateful I get to share this experience with you. Best of wishes.
PumpkinPanic
the reason you haven't really heard of it, is because it was heavily negatively reviewed by mostly adult men, that didn't like that the movie was about Asian's, or girls.
Aleksander Jørgensen
You need to watch Moana 2 <3
Ellie Gidney
You should react to Wicked💚🩷
Isabella
Literally never thought you would watch this!! when it first came out I couldn’t stop raving about it to my family… my mom watched it with me and we both shared a cry. amazing film and great characters as well
