Rizzo: “Can I talk?” Benji, an Intellectual: “Not this month.” Benji, thank you for the representation. The Straights could shut up a little this month. Just a teeny tiny bit.
Honestly, we need more Jane Austen Adaptations by marginalised communities. Also, this movie was just so good. It was a good adaptation because they played around the tropes in a fun way. Shoutout to Joel Kim Booster.
*obligatory annoying but nonetheless true comment on how much better the 1995 mini series is and I ain't even sorry because it is but it is also annoying so you can have my apologies for that specifically and thank you for reading and have a nice evening*
My parents are a reading couple and they do literally sit on their separate arm chairs in front of the fire and read their separate books. Often different books in the same series.
Josiah, for the love of Keira Knightly, we need you to fix Benji the minute July starts! We need a Pride & Prejudice reaction! 🤯🫣😵 Side Note: Mr. Darcy was never Lizzy's enemy. He just was not interested the second they met. Lol! Isn't that normal? Insta-love has truly ruined us all. 😂🥴😵💫😅
Thank you for this. I can only imagine this must have been an editing nightmare. But it's so needed on the platform. And being a Gay with mostly straight friends, your guys friendship totally reflects my life. So thanks for all the content and please stay safe. We love you.
This movie is so sweet and funny and SUCH a good Pride and Prejudice adaption! I’ve already watched it twice; it’s definitely going in my comfort movie rotation. (Also, Lizzie is Prejudice because she gets pissed at Mr. Darcy saying something rude the first time they meet and lets it effect her opinion on him for the rest of the story. Mr. Darcy is pride cause he thinks he’s better than the rest of the characters til Lizzie shows him what’s what.)
I'm having too much fun watching Rizzo get progressively more agitated at Benji for not watching Pride and prejudice. 😂😂😂 now you kno how benji felt about HSM. HAHA!
I think I had a full twitter meltdown at the 'Okay, you win' scene because that was HOT as hell. Conrad Ricamora having an amazing role as a romantic lead outside of How To Get Away With Murder just made my day. as a Jane Austen fan, this THOROUGHLY made my day when I watched it 💖 IF you guys want to keep up with the period-drama with a modern twist -type production reviews, there's a new movie coming out called MR MALCOLM'S LIST- it's been YEARS in the making and has a 'blind casting' cast. It'll be fun to see what you guys think of that
also oliver jackson-cohen (aka benji's original toxic boy crush on this channel, peter quint in bly manor) is in it!!! seeing the trailers made me think of you guys on that basis alone!!!
Jane Austen didn't really have a specific character in mind for either "pride" or "prejudice." She originally wanted to name the book "First Impressions" but another famous author had recently used that title, so she settled on "Pride and Prejudice" because it kinda reminded people of her first book "Sense and Sensibility."
can benji's big gay weekend be a regular theme in rotation alternating with like rizzo's straights gonna straight (or whatever he so chooses)🤣because every movie reaction that has dropped lately has me in stitches from cackling🤣can't wait for the next video✌🏾
So funny you said that because YES! Benji and I have already determined that, unlike brand name stores when July rolls around, we will NOT be limiting our queer content!!!
That ‘Heads Up’ Sequence was so on point because I’ve gone ballistic over people not getting mainstream and obscure Pop Culture References. There is a reason I love this channel lol (Both of you reacted brilliantly lol)
The ice cream cone scene was my fav because I think that's where we first see the adorably weird side of 'Mr Darcy' and I love how they leaned a little more into it in this film.
Margaret Cho as Mrs. Bennett is inspired. Benji, this character is the OG society mama! I never noticed before how much you two give off strong Jane and Lizzie Bennett vibes. 😉
COMMENT 211!!! This movie is sooooo cute! As a bisexual who is surrounded by gay friends, I got a bunch of the references and the feelings that this movie provided. Benji... PWEEZE WATCH PRIDE AND PREJUDICE!! Like, that is the most ICONIC movie ever. (A have this cute guy "friend" who I call Joe Jonas from Camp Rock and Mr. Darcey from Pride and Prejudice because he fits the "Sad Boi" archetype. Hence, "I will never fall in love again" kind of guys). Also, I just watched RRR for the first time and chuu guys should watch it!! Everything was amazing!!!! Like, it MADE the assignment for movies. Love chuu guys!!!
I just have to say, both of you guys are wonderful, hilarious and super deserving of the best kind of love & I hope you both end up super insanely happy in love someday with your soulmates! Also, as a bisexual, married woman who is fully aware that Benji is gay... I still have a major crush on Benji hahaha no shame! You'll find your Mr. Darcy! Or someone even better hahah because he really isn't that great, I had to say it.
YEASSSS! Friends to lovers!! I can’t believe how many people honestly believe forcing a romance with a stranger is the ONLY and most romantic way relationships are allowed to form.
Hopefully people aren't forcing their friends to become lovers either - but I think we both understood that it was meant in a cordial, "This person is cool I should pursue something NOT toxic" way lol
It’s nice to see Conrad Ricamora join the ranks of Mr. Darcy that include Sir Lawrence Olivier, Colin Firth, Matthew McFaydden, Martin Henderson and Matthew Rhys (‘Death Comes to Pemberley’ which was the spiritual sequel to ‘Pride and Prejudice’.)
If you want another film celebrating Asian excellence, you must do a reaction for Everything Everywhere All At Once - easily the best film of 2022 and in my Top 3 of ALL TIME! This cinematic masterpiece centers around generational trauma with a fusion of drama/comedy/action/philosophy/scifi!
Lolol I’m here for Benji leaving Rizzo hanging 😂, it will never not be funny to me. Also seeing them run off to do something big & stupid also made my bust out laughing. The first take made it into the movie?
HAHAHAHAHAA OMG NOOOOOOO! There needs to be a wholesome online group for singles where everyone stays safe and rejection is respectful and people are giving multiple chances!!!
Yay! Are you going to watch the Happiest Season? I know it's a Christmas movie 🎄 but whatever! The Marisa Tomei a la My Cousin Vinny had me dead 😂 The regurgitation faces you guys made were hilarious. Benji did "coughing cat meme" and I love how Rizzo added the fluttering fingers to really sell it 😂😁🤮 Congrats on the gig, Rizzo.
A Pride and Prejudice reaction is a need at this point Also I literally screamed when he THREW that ice cream lol, so when I saw it at 10:44 and 18:39 again, it literally took me out…again
@@emmabennet888 oh my God, thank you! I wish we would’ve watched fire Island after having seen the original pride prejudice. I feel like we would’ve appreciated it more.
Loved this reaction!! Absolutely enjoy the two of you, it's like watching a movie with your besties! Also I felt everything Benji said about going out, the last time I went to the club was pre pandemic and it was a cool 45 minutes before I was quoting Danny Glover about being too old for ish!! Looking forward to what you have planned next!
Benji, where do I find a straight sympatico man like Rizzo who actually likes movies and Mike’s HARD Lemonade? I keep saying you two have better chemistry together than most straight or gay couples I know. Another rainy Saturday morning, waking and baking and loving you two.
Pride and Prejudice is about both main characters being prideful and prejudiced and having to overcome that to see the other person’s true self. ☺️ Now I want to watch this version in full as well. Highly recommend you guys watching the 2005 version from Joe Wright together for a video!!
I'm so happy I found this channel! Now I have a bunch of cool videos to watch. You guys are so funny and I have many of the same references that you do
no way! where did you grow up and when were you in high school? We both grew up in Texas around christians and graduated in 2011, 2012 - so it's easy to see how we had similar styles of humor
I'm actually from Brazil! Graduated at 2012 too, and my sister at 2009. Our friends don't get our references, that's why I was so surprised to see some of yours
17:19 This video is the first in the trilogy of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ adaptations because you have to react to ‘Pride and Prejudice’ (2005) and ‘Bride and Prejudice’.
I really like the movie, but I think my only issue is if the main relationship wasn’t like a week long when they met. If it was they spent the summer on fire island then I think I would be more emotionally invested in their relationship or if it were based on sense and Sensibility but I get it PRIDE and prejudice adaptation. But I really liked it and also Bowen yang and Joel Kim booster plus throw in Margaret Cho, my Asianness will of course stan this movie. The cherry on top is that it was very gay! It’s more gay than call me by your name! I can not wait for a future Bros reaction because that movie looks hilarious and again super gay!
we cannot WAIT for Bros. But also YES! Benji and I felt the same. but we went with it because most of the straight movies we watch use the same three-day-timeline (one of my favorite movies is Dan in Real Life!)
@@PinkPopcast that very true about the 3 day relationships but also this could be me growing more cynical since entering my 30s I’m not a fan of the quick start relationships because you’re still in the infatuation stage so everything sounds amazing. I’m a more when Harry met sally type of girl or like benji described.
I started watching drag race not too long ago and I knew Rizzo works in film, but my jaw was on the FLOOR when I saw him randomly appear on one of the episodes! This is probably common knowledge, but I was gagged lol
Awwww I loved this!!! ❤ You guys had me laughing and wheezing haha 🤣 Great references! Loved the movie!! Rizzo trying to blow his burps away is adorable lol.
Loved the video!! You guys should react to a Italian Netflix show called Baby. I’ve never seen a reaction to it here on RU-vid and would love for you to watch!
Benji... the only way I want to get my salt is - actually I won't finish that one here! Absolutely agreed though... could squish a drain pipe into a yoplait yoghourt tube & still don't get the chance, because one looks - a bit off.
hahaha, it's the first time I (rizzo) ever saw the "'Nice-Guy' Relentlessly Pursuing A Woman Who Doesn't Want Him Trope" turned on it's head which recontextualized most romcoms for me from that moment on! One man's "endearing stick-to-it-ness" is another woman's nightmare! :P
