@@karlsmith2570 yep...her name is Rachel Dennison and Rita Moreno played Violet. When Dolly did the Broadway Adaptation of the movie Megan Hilty (who is set to star as Meryl Streep's character in Death Becomes Her shortly) played Doralee and Allison Janey (of Mom and West Wing) played the original Violet. It's actually not a bad show just bad timing I think led to its closure (it premiered in 09)
This is a seminal feminist classic. It was one of the first film that openly portrayed the problems that 70's feminists were dealing with. One great example is that scene you found so irritating: Judy's confrontation with her wandering husband. That conversation, what was going on between them, his attitude, her throwing him out, and her reaction afterwards were all something women across America (and the world) were experiencing throughout the 70's. That transformative moment of _You can't tell me what to do!_ and _I DON'T NEED YOU!!!_ was a wave slamming through the culture, changing the way we lived. That scene embodies that action, and the startled, unmoored reaction it got from all those husbands and boyfriends and bosses, who had never even considered the idea that their wives and girlfriends and secretaries might not need them the same way the men needed _them._ That's the undercurrent of what this movie is about - one of the cultural moments when women said "Fuck them. We got this."
I love looking back at feminism and how far we've come since then. Still, sexism in the workplace continues to happen, although with less and less frequency.
I grew up and still live right outside of Nashville. I HATE country music, and I absolutely ADORE Dolly Parton...so that should tell you something. She grew up dirt poor in a cabin without floors (with dirt floors), and her father never learned to read. And so she donates tons of money to ensure that kids have books to read through her "Imagination Library". She's a goddamned saint, and has dedicated her life beyond her music to ensuring that children have access to books. Also, this is a movie that was written, and then Dolly, after the fact, was told she had to write a song based on the movie title. This is what is known as putting the horse before the cart. It's a nearly impossible proposition...yet she created the song "9 to 5" after the movie title was already decided. It's only successfully been done once before with The Beatles. The big difference being that Dolly went outside her country roots for this song, creating a pop hit. Also, Lilly Tomlin has never been considered a classic beauty, but I've always been attracted to her...because she's just so goddamned funny. There's nothing sexier to me than a quick wit. I had the distinct pleasure of working for Miss Dolly once. She stood in front of an audience and said "People look at me and ask, 'Are they real?' And I just say 'Lord no...how could anyone ever play guitar with fingernails like these??" Another true story: When Dolly was a little girl, her family went into town and she saw a prostitute with big boobs and big hair, and Dolly thought she was the most beautiful woman she'd ever seen. And everyone said, "Oh, you don't want to look like her. She's just trash and looks like trash." And Dolly was so enthralled with her that she thought "Well then...I wanna look like trash!!"
I was 12 when I saw this in the theater and I LOVED IT! To this day I watch it every time it's on.. 😂 When Dolly said she would change him from a rooster to a hen with one shot.. The audience stood up and cheered.. It was amazing!
I’m old enough to remember seeing this as a teenager in the theater when it came out and I can’t believe it still holds up on so many levels 44 years later! Thanks for watching, Sam! 👍
Saw this in the theaters on my 8th birthday. Laughed my butt off. Still one of my favorite films. These three women were tackling workplace issues long before the things we see today (that are still happening)
"Sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" is one of my favorite descriptive sentences of all time. It's poignant how much that *still* describes many men and some women of Hart's generation.
"He wants to prosecute." "Well why wouldn't he? He's got you for poisoning him, and me for roping him, and YOU for acting like he was first prize at a turkey shoot!" Fun Fact: The movie spurred a reasonably successful sitcom television series Nine To Five (1982) which went for eighty-five episodes, and aired between 1982 and 1988. Dolly Parton's younger sister Rachel Dennison played Parton's role Doralee Rhodes on the show. I have absolutely no memory of this series. Music Enthusiast Fact: Dolly Parton accepted the role with the condition that she would write and sing the theme song, which was nominated for an Academy Award and won two Grammys. Parton made the same deal for almost every other movie, in which she has starred. The exception was Steel Magnolias (1989). Feminism Forever Fact: This was Dolly Parton's theatrical film debut. In preparation for her role as Doralee Rhodes, she not only committed to memory her own part, but the parts of every other role in the film. Apparently, the two experienced starring actresses, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, burst out laughing when Parton let on that she believed that pictures were filmed in the chronological order of a film's script.
I always thought they filmed that way! It makes sense why they do that once I learned about it all, but it's wild to think that actors are developing characters out of the order they're developing on screen as we see it lol Truly does take skill & talent. I've watched a lot of commentaries where they talk about the last scene of a movie being the very first scene they filmed.
Lily Tomlin had made quite a name for herself on the 1970's tv show "Laugh In," particularly as Ernestine, the telephone operator "One ringy dingy, two ringy dingy . . ."
Dabney Coleman had been playing all kinds of different roles before this film, but his performance here became so iconic that he was forever after typecast as this same kind of comedy villain going through different kinds of horrible embarrassments. And just when it seemed he'd finally managed to escape with his effective dramatic role in Boardwalk Empire, he suffered a stroke that forced his character to be bedridden and then anti-climactically killed off.
Because of this reaction, I got curious about when the National Labor Relations Act was passed, where it is legal to discuss wages with other employees. 1935!! Employers have been telling us for ages it's not legal to discuss that shit and the act has been in place since 1935!
The National Labor Relations Act of 1935. Banned company owen unions and established employees had a right of privacy, right to organize and collective bargaining. Considering this was a secretarial pool, confidentiality of the documents would be expected. While not necessarily illegal. Spreading confidential information could be grounds for disciplinary action.
I remember seeing 9 to 5 in the theatre. The theatre was packed everyone laughed! It was a huge huge hit!! You didn't know what was bigger the movie or the song. Yes the song was made the movie. Another movie that came out around this time where the song and the movie were number one at the same time for weeks was "The Goodbye Girl"(1977). One of the best rom-coms ever made, one of the best movie songs. I just realized the Richard Dreyfuss had 2 massive hit movies released within 2 weeks of each other, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Goodbye Girl. Wow thats a lot of success at once.
Thanx, OGB R, for reacting to "9 to 5"; it's been too long since I last watched it; I forgot how hilarious it is. Obviously you enjoyed it, almost falling out of your chair a couple of times, laughing OUT LOUD! Another successful, entertaining reaction on your part!
I worked in a bank in the early 80’s. This work environment was pretty spot on. I think you’d like Working Girl, Tootsie, Arthur, and Seems Like Old Times.
Working conditions were like this everywhere (I worked in a series of jobs via a temp. agency.) All the changes they made for the better seem so normal now but when the movie came out, often seemed like an unobtainable utopia.
It’s now illegal to penalize people for talking about their salaries. It is encouraged to help make sure that pay is fair. If your company tells you not to speak with coworkers about your salary then they are actually violating employment laws.
There's this fun Documentary on Netflix called "9 to 5: The Story of The Movement" .... it's about the women's right works movement that inspired the movie 9 to 5 ... if you have time :)
A few years ago when I was in college, our music teacher made us go to a play of 9 to 5 that the school was putting on. I was annoyed at having to go, but actually really enjoyed the story.
I for one am for full transparency when it comes to wages. Everytime a company goes to great lengths to keep employees hushed about what they're being paid, it shows how shady they really are and the company eventually crumbles to shit.
Exactly. This is the way they keep people from complaining about any type of discrimination such that two people doing the same job and one gets paid much less.
It's not actually illegal to discuss wages. "...employees' right to discuss their salary is protected by law. While employers may restrict workers from discussing their salary in front of customers or during work, they cannot prohibit employees from talking about pay on their own time."
The original script was actually intended to be a drama where the ladies all made no bones about being out to kill Hart. Then once the crew was actually seeing it acted out, they figured the feminist message would come across as far too preachy unless they made it a comedy.
I do enjoy this film. Although it's a bit far fetched in places I feel that's part of its charm. Another film I enjoy from the same year is Private Benjamin, it's well worth a watch if you haven't already. Thanks for another entertaining reaction!
In any other movie, the time spent on the girls' fantasies of doing in Hart would have caused the movie to drag. However, each of the women's imaginary scenarios came true after a fashion. Violet put poison in the coffee, Doralee tied him up, and Judy shot at him, making the entire sequence essential to the plot.
The packaging for Skinny & Sweet and Rat Poison was obviously done by the same ad agency. The color palette and illustrations are too similar. I wonder what the updated packaging looks like today?
I used to kind of know Dabney Coleman's daught Quincy Coleman. She was a jazz tinged singer songwriter who just went by Quincy. She was great. Then I had to stop going yo shows for awhile.
I love the show Grace and Frankie staring Jane Fonda and Lilly Tomlin. The final season is about to start and Dolly Parton is going to join the show so I get to see them all together again.
Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Dolly in the same movie together--what more could a gay boy want? Maybe Bette Midler, but her and Lily in "Big Business" was a hoot, too.
Lily Tomlin is in another really funny movie with Bette Midler that I think you'd love. It's called Big Business. Not many reactions to it - but it's an underrated GEM that more need to see. Cheers from Canada :)
Loved watching you watch this movie. One of my favorites! You reminded me of Rosie O'Donnell when you said "hey mind your business" lol. You make it fun to watch. Not sure if you've seen it but could you react to the movie vacation (the original with Chevy Chase) you'll laugh your head off !
This movie is SO fun, quirky, and relevant, and no one will ever get tired of watching these three. Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda recently starred in several seasons of 'Grace and Frankie', which is totally worth watching. They are still amazing! I just wish they'd have gotten in a Dolly cameo.
Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Dolly. Perfection. Unfortunately this was the age of "funny women always fall over". [sigh] A period that lasted well into the 2000s. Once you know it, you can't fail to notice.
I grew up watching Lilly Tomlin for years on Laugh In and other shows, she was always one of the best Comedians ever. I tried to get into the series she and Jane have done in Netflix but I just wasn't feeling it. They were all too funny in this though it's obviously quite dated. 😛
If you want to see Dabney Coleman and Jane Fonda working together in another movie around the same time period give "On Golden Pond" a try. Fantastic movie! Jane's father Henry Fonda stars as well and the movie plot is said to be a reflection of their own complicated relationship.
Loved this movie and as ridiculous this plot gets I was still shocked at all the things that were quite commonplace in real life. From the boss to the ex-husband 😮
Great reaction! Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda & Dolly Parton really had the greatest chemistry together. Each was great in their own rite. But together they just had the right combo. Reminds me of Steel Magnolias. 👍👍👍
This movie came out the year I was born. My parents love Dolly Parton and country music, not to mention Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda. So, I grew up watching this movie. I still love it to this day and credit it with being one of the very early seeds of feminism in my life. I mean what little boy who loves this movie wants to grow up to be a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot like Mr. Hart? 🙂
Kind of like Falling Down, this film is in a weird in-between place of being both strongly tied to the exact time it was made (women had just started entering the workforce en masse, and the kind of secretarial pool seen here wouldn't last much longer as technology advanced), and also remaining hugely relevant to today's world with the issues it raises. In fact, for several years Fonda, Tomlin, and Parton have talked about wanting to do a sequel concerning how far there still is to go, complete with getting Dabney Coleman back to go through more punishment from them (though seeing as he's now 90 years old, they'd better get on it quick if it's ever going to happen).
Jane Fonda had interviewed woman who worked in the office force in the late 1970's for a project. Then having seen Lily Tomlin in her Broadway show, she knew she needed to work with her on it as a comedy. And upon leaving the theater, in the taxi she heard Dolly Parton on the radio and knew she was the missing piece. She then worked with Patricia Resnick (Mad Men) and Colin Higgins (Harold and Maude) on the script and had Colin Higgins (an openly gay man who died from AIDS in 1988) direct the film. The movie spawned a TV series that lasted 6 seasons and a musical with music penned by Dolly Parton opened on Broadway in 2009. And there has been rumors for decades that there will be a sequel made (with all 3 of the ladies interested) but that remains to be seen.
"I don't understand why someone would willingly be with someone who cheated on someone else to be with them. Trash." AMEN!!!!! Thank you! This was great! Thank you for doing this one. 9 to 5 is such a good movie. My husband and I regularly watch it for laughs. Have you seen Ferris Buehler's Day off?
I don't know what the situation was at the time, but these days in most (if not all) of the US, it's illegal for employers to forbid discussion of wages or to retaliate against those who do talk about it. Many, many people are unaware of it, but they have a legal right to share that information, as a way of making sure they are receiving a fair wage.
26:43 Hard to believe, but so much of this creepiness was just accepted as normal back then. And stalking wasn't even a term that was used yet. Society was truly set up to benefit the creepiest of men. It still is too often.
So glad you watched it, it is amazingky hilarious - and, sadly, still very relevant. I went to see it at the cinema as a 12yo, of my own free will. Either I was a weird kid, or my gayness was finally about to pop out :)
Great reactions to this 42 year old comedy, Sam!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I have seen this many, many, times over the years. All the men in this are despicable! Frank is the worst, then Judy's ex-husband, then the Colonel Sanders want to be with his get rid of the equal pay thing. Great to see a light hearted comedy. Many reactors doing war and dark type films lately. If you are ever looking for another very funny office film I highly recommend "Office Space" (1999). It has become a cult classic over the years and many people relate to it.
Thank the Patreon folks for being the people who request these more underrated films that I watch! Very grateful for them since I’ve watched so many great films from their requests.
You rock on kid! Ty to you and your patrons. Nobody does my mom's movies. So fun. Late to picking up my son from football because of this reaction. Lily Tomlin is the shizzz. So underrated. This is also considered a weed movie, for the geysers trying to legalize it back in the day. M&Ms Yes. They all filled their fantasys. I think you missed that aspect. Dolly should have won the Oscar she was nominated for. Great reaction, thank you. Top of my head: Lily Tomlin, And the Band Played On...The Incredible Shrinking Woman is good Cheese. Steel Magnolias for Dolly, You did that, so ty. Barbarella for some Jane Fonda skin, On Golden Pond, for some acting chops, plus you get to see her dad. Great reaction as always. Thank you.
In the US you have a Federally protected right to discuss your salary with your coworkers. And employers are violating the law if they have a verbal or written policy barring it.
Hey Sam, thanks for reacting to another one of my favorites. This movie came out when I was 5, and I watched it every time it was on TV. If you ever wanna get together for some M&M's, or need a volunteer to play "Stiff in the John" at your next Halloween party, look me up. Now back to my left turns. Thankfully, my chair isn't as busted as Mr. Hart's. Love ya, and keep up the good work (nice earrings too, btw.)
Dolly, Lily, and Dabney would reunite on the Beverly Hillbillies movie. For Dabney Coleman not being a skeeze - Cloak & Dagger (1984) Lily Tomlin is hilarious. Her expressions kill me, and her barbed quips are on point. Jane Fonda is so gorgeous and quite funny here. To me, she'll always be Barbarella (the epitome of camp sci-fi). And Dolly... In Dolly we stan. She's so fabulous.

Yes, Dolly Parton wrote the song specifically for this film and was even nominated for the original song Oscar.
She does this for every single movie she's in, with only Steel Magnolias declining to put it in the movie.
What a lot of people don't realize is that this movie also had a TV series adaptation
@@karlsmith2570with her sister playing Doralee
@@1Cheytown I didn't realize that
@@karlsmith2570 yep...her name is Rachel Dennison and Rita Moreno played Violet.

To this day, there has never been a better insult than calling someone a “sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot”. 😉
Yep! That list just about covers every negative human behavior.
Lily Tomlin is a legend.

Dolly's first film and she knocked it out of the park!
That "yellow" coffee cup is SO iconic. Find THAT yellow on a coffee cup now. 70's DISCO yellow.
"Sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" is one of my favorite descriptive sentences of all time. It's poignant how much that *still* describes many men and some women of Hart's generation.
Dolly was absolutely stunning in this movie. She's a national treasure. 💞

War Games
They have turned this movie into a musical and it's a lot of fun imo.
Glad to see you react to this movie-it’s hilarious-Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton make a fantastic comedy trio. 😆
Must say..your reactions have been a treat to watch. This film is such a gem and Lily Tomlin is an icon within the community!!
Because of this reaction, I got curious about when the National Labor Relations Act was passed, where it is legal to discuss wages with other employees. 1935!! Employers have been telling us for ages it's not legal to discuss that shit and the act has been in place since 1935!

Hell yeah, Judy!! Do them M&Ms!!! 😂
Thanx, OGB R, for reacting to "9 to 5"; it's been too long since I last watched it; I forgot how hilarious it is. Obviously you enjoyed it, almost falling out of your chair a couple of times, laughing OUT LOUD! Another successful, entertaining reaction on your part!
**pause** Strap in... you're gonna love this ride! **play**

I'm actually gonna be putting that on a poll soon!!
It’s now illegal to penalize people for talking about their salaries. It is encouraged to help make sure that pay is fair. If your company tells you not to speak with coworkers about your salary then they are actually violating employment laws.
Dolly Parton is adorable in this film, cool reaction Sam, take care sweetie
Reminds me of another Dolly Parton Classic Rhinestone Cowboy(1984) playing opposite Stallone.
I adore this movie! Just good fun with a little social commentary thrown in! 🤣🤣
There's this fun Documentary on Netflix called "9 to 5: The Story of The Movement" .... it's about the women's right works movement that inspired the movie 9 to 5 ... if you have time :)
Saw this as a kid with my mom and dad at the movies
Enjoyed it and enjoyed them enjoying it
YOU...ARE...SO..FUNNY!!!! This is one of my favorite movies!!
A few years ago when I was in college, our music teacher made us go to a play of 9 to 5 that the school was putting on. I was annoyed at having to go, but actually really enjoyed the story.
When I started work in 1992, there was still a dress code at the company I worked for that required hosiery. Ree damn diculous
brought out your emotions all the way thru. So fun to watch you enjoying this crazy movie.

my day, and is also the reason why I'm addicted to OGB ❤️
😂😂😂 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
How could anyone possibly not know who you are? You are a legend!
Oh stop that you 🥰
Gotta always make sure to introduce myself in every video just in case!
The original script was actually intended to be a drama where the ladies all made no bones about being out to kill Hart. Then once the crew was actually seeing it acted out, they figured the feminist message would come across as far too preachy unless they made it a comedy.
I had a manager steal my ideas like that, fortunately she was close enough to retirement that we didn't have to put up with her much longer.
Oh goody 🤪 Gotta love it 🤪
12:20 Violet's fantasy was always my favorite of the three.
The stage Musical is hilarious. Dolly even has a sly cameo in it..
I do enjoy this film. Although it's a bit far fetched in places I feel that's part of its charm. Another film I enjoy from the same year is Private Benjamin, it's well worth a watch if you haven't already.
Thanks for another entertaining reaction!
Private Benjamin is hilarious!
If I wanna do M&Ms I will!

Violet put poison in the coffee, Doralee tied him up, and Judy shot at him, making the entire sequence essential to the plot.
Who doesn't like doing a little M and M's?
Always loved this movie. It's so much silly fun.
My favorite part has always been the fantasy sequences! Plus the part where they stole the wrong body! 😂😂😂
The packaging for Skinny & Sweet and Rat Poison was obviously done by the same ad agency. The color palette and illustrations are too similar. I wonder what the updated packaging looks like today?

I love the show Grace and Frankie staring Jane Fonda and Lilly Tomlin. The final season is about to start and Dolly Parton is going to join the show so I get to see them all together again.
Outrageous Fortune would be another fun film to watch.
The whole point of showing the murder fantasies was because they all acted them out to a certain degree. So funny
Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Dolly in the same movie together--what more could a gay boy want? Maybe Bette Midler, but her and Lily in "Big Business" was a hoot, too.
loved this trio

Shirley! :D ❤️
Hey Sam! Please put the fun, witty famous classic 'THE THIN MAN' on your "to watch" list (or poll). Have a great day! 🙂
Loved watching you watch this movie. One of my favorites! You reminded me of Rosie O'Donnell when you said "hey mind your business" lol. You make it fun to watch. Not sure if you've seen it but could you react to the movie vacation (the original with Chevy Chase) you'll laugh your head off !
I fully support Judy's right to do M&Ms.
Same. Go girl go
This movie is SO fun, quirky, and relevant, and no one will ever get tired of watching these three. Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda recently starred in several seasons of 'Grace and Frankie', which is totally worth watching. They are still amazing! I just wish they'd have gotten in a Dolly cameo.
Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Dolly. Perfection.
Unfortunately this was the age of "funny women always fall over". [sigh] A period that lasted well into the 2000s. Once you know it, you can't fail to notice.
Yeahhhhhhhhh.....
I grew up watching Lilly Tomlin for years on Laugh In and other shows, she was always one of the best Comedians ever. I tried to get into the series she and Jane have done in Netflix but I just wasn't feeling it. They were all too funny in this though it's obviously quite dated. 😛
LOL @ your "Mind your business!" Hilarious.
If you want to see Dabney Coleman and Jane Fonda working together in another movie around the same time period give "On Golden Pond" a try. Fantastic movie! Jane's father Henry Fonda stars as well and the movie plot is said to be a reflection of their own complicated relationship.
The song was written for the movie
Watch the entire movie!!! You’ll love it.
Gotta love Dolly Parton.
After watching Steel Magnolias and this, I absolutely love Dolly!
She's a beautiful classy lady who went through hell to get where she is now and she never rubs your nose in it or acts like an entitled brat.
Loved this movie and as ridiculous this plot gets I was still shocked at all the things that were quite commonplace in real life. From the boss to the ex-husband 😮
Rest In Peace, Dabney Coleman (Mr. Hart) who did such an epic job at being the ultimate sexist pig boss. Well done, sir. ❤👍
Great reaction! Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda & Dolly Parton really had the greatest chemistry together. Each was great in their own rite. But together they just had the right combo. Reminds me of Steel Magnolias. 👍👍👍
This movie came out the year I was born. My parents love Dolly Parton and country music, not to mention Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda. So, I grew up watching this movie. I still love it to this day and credit it with being one of the very early seeds of feminism in my life. I mean what little boy who loves this movie wants to grow up to be a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot like Mr. Hart? 🙂
Kind of like Falling Down, this film is in a weird in-between place of being both strongly tied to the exact time it was made (women had just started entering the workforce en masse, and the kind of secretarial pool seen here wouldn't last much longer as technology advanced), and also remaining hugely relevant to today's world with the issues it raises. In fact, for several years Fonda, Tomlin, and Parton have talked about wanting to do a sequel concerning how far there still is to go, complete with getting Dabney Coleman back to go through more punishment from them (though seeing as he's now 90 years old, they'd better get on it quick if it's ever going to happen).
Young Dolly Parton was absolute perfection. She's still beautiful!! I loved this movie when I was young.
Jane Fonda had interviewed woman who worked in the office force in the late 1970's for a project. Then having seen Lily Tomlin in her Broadway show, she knew she needed to work with her on it as a comedy. And upon leaving the theater, in the taxi she heard Dolly Parton on the radio and knew she was the missing piece.
She then worked with Patricia Resnick (Mad Men) and Colin Higgins (Harold and Maude) on the script and had Colin Higgins (an openly gay man who died from AIDS in 1988) direct the film. The movie spawned a TV series that lasted 6 seasons and a musical with music penned by Dolly Parton opened on Broadway in 2009.
And there has been rumors for decades that there will be a sequel made (with all 3 of the ladies interested) but that remains to be seen.
The best movie of all time, thanks so much for watching it
Awesome movie
"I don't understand why someone would willingly be with someone who cheated on someone else to be with them. Trash." AMEN!!!!! Thank you! This was great! Thank you for doing this one. 9 to 5 is such a good movie. My husband and I regularly watch it for laughs. Have you seen Ferris Buehler's Day off?
RIGHT?? Traaash.
Glad you enjoyed!!
Ferris Buehler's Day Off is on the list to watch at some point!
This is a fun one. You will like it.
I don't know what the situation was at the time, but these days in most (if not all) of the US, it's illegal for employers to forbid discussion of wages or to retaliate against those who do talk about it. Many, many people are unaware of it, but they have a legal right to share that information, as a way of making sure they are receiving a fair wage.
Dolly got an Oscar nomination for the song 9 to 5
She should’ve won!!
Love this movie!
“Sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, bigot.”
a year later- Jane and Dabney are dating in the film 'On Golden Pond' a MUST WATCH!
MR. DABNEY COLEMAN, Made this film!
Yes!!! You're picking such brilliant classics to react too, Sam!!! This is a brilliant film not reacted too enough on CZcams.
26:43 Hard to believe, but so much of this creepiness was just accepted as normal back then. And stalking wasn't even a term that was used yet. Society was truly set up to benefit the creepiest of men. It still is too often.
Lovely 💀
@@OGBReacts Yeah. Not so much. [shudders]
So glad you watched it, it is amazingky hilarious - and, sadly, still very relevant.
I went to see it at the cinema as a 12yo, of my own free will. Either I was a weird kid, or my gayness was finally about to pop out :)
It's too funny.. They all end up doing versions of their fantasies.. 😂
RIGHT??
Great reactions to this 42 year old comedy, Sam!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I have seen this many, many, times over the years. All the men in this are despicable! Frank is the worst, then Judy's ex-husband, then the Colonel Sanders want to be with his get rid of the equal pay thing. Great to see a light hearted comedy. Many reactors doing war and dark type films lately. If you are ever looking for another very funny office film I highly recommend "Office Space" (1999). It has become a cult classic over the years and many people relate to it.
Thank the Patreon folks for being the people who request these more underrated films that I watch! Very grateful for them since I’ve watched so many great films from their requests.
You rock on kid! Ty to you and your patrons. Nobody does my mom's movies. So fun. Late to picking up my son from football because of this reaction. Lily Tomlin is the shizzz. So underrated. This is also considered a weed movie, for the geysers trying to legalize it back in the day. M&Ms Yes. They all filled their fantasys. I think you missed that aspect. Dolly should have won the Oscar she was nominated for. Great reaction, thank you. Top of my head: Lily Tomlin, And the Band Played On...The Incredible Shrinking Woman is good Cheese. Steel Magnolias for Dolly, You did that, so ty. Barbarella for some Jane Fonda skin, On Golden Pond, for some acting chops, plus you get to see her dad. Great reaction as always. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed! Hope your son wasn’t waiting too long 🤣
4:30. You have GOT to make a short clip of that for yourself. LOL!
🤣🤣🤣
I can't tell you how happy I was to see you were watching this
In the US you have a Federally protected right to discuss your salary with your coworkers. And employers are violating the law if they have a verbal or written policy barring it.
If you like office type movies , watch one called " Tootsie "
Hey Sam, thanks for reacting to another one of my favorites. This movie came out when I was 5, and I watched it every time it was on TV. If you ever wanna get together for some M&M's, or need a volunteer to play "Stiff in the John" at your next Halloween party, look me up. Now back to my left turns. Thankfully, my chair isn't as busted as Mr. Hart's. Love ya, and keep up the good work (nice earrings too, btw.)
Lilly and "The Body." An ALL TIME FAV!
Dolly, Lily, and Dabney would reunite on the Beverly Hillbillies movie. For Dabney Coleman not being a skeeze - Cloak & Dagger (1984)
Lily Tomlin is hilarious. Her expressions kill me, and her barbed quips are on point.
Jane Fonda is so gorgeous and quite funny here. To me, she'll always be Barbarella (the epitome of camp sci-fi).
And Dolly... In Dolly we stan. She's so fabulous.
