PJ you NEED to watch Bottoms. It had a very tiny theatrical release but it is for sure my movie of the year. Utterly hilarious all the way through, but also portrays the humanity in the characters so well. Also Ayo Edebiri (Sydney in The Bear) is one of the two main leads. Shes so funny. Whats not to love?
As a girl who grew up quite girly and only had a sister, I never in my life have engaged with any form of TMNT content. I knew the gist but had no interest. My boyfriend and I watched it because I liked the trailer and then I was baffled when it had become the best movie I’d seen this year. Granted, I did see it before I watched Barbie and Oppenheimer but they all belong at the top together.
i thought it was a good year for movies. but...i truly believe.......almost every movie would benefit from being a crispy hour and a half instead of 3+
@@mrzimnafuranelonger/shorter movies are never intrinsically better than the other. it completely depends on the movie, making a blanket statement either way is just foolish and/or disingenuous
meanwhile when someone asks what I saw this year I'm like ... yeah I totally saw... a thing. I can't seem to remember so many great movies and shows I actually like.
"prepare yourselves for long explanations of the games" as a kpop fan who watches videos of groups playing Korean games I'm not familiar with, this is something I experience often
Holy shit dude!! I used to watch your videos and really enjoyed your personality and attitude, but then around Corona I stopped for unrelated reasons and RUclips never recommended you again. I completely forgot about you, and now suddenly you are back in my recommendations. Such a pleasant surprise, please don’t leave my recommendations again lol
What I noticed this year is that there were a lot of hyped-up pieces of media that truly deserved the hype. I usually feel like the big hits don't live up to their expectations and it felt like such a breath of fresh air that it was all just as good or even better than expected!
Not mentioned here, but thanks to you I discovered the amazing board game of ISLE OF CATS!! Have been playing so much with my partner and friends! What a blast!!
TMNT and Dungeons and dragons were such unexpected gems in 2023. If you really enjoy the turtles, I can’t recommend Rise of the TMNT (series and movie) enough. It’s my favorite iteration of the series 🖤
PJ - as someone who also loves and appreciates good animation, I definitely recommend checking out Blue Eye Samurai. It was beautifully animated and the main character Mizu is very complex and interesting to watch!! 💙 great video as always
i feel like the thing with ToTK is that it is just breath of the wild 2. so it doesnt feel as groundbreaking to play. i loved playing it and did 100% it (aside from the korok seeds). but i can see how it can be a very arduous game to get through if you were hoping for more wow! moments.
i strongly believe you would enjoy the chaos of Weird: The Al Yankovic story. it has a satirical plot written by the man himself and contains an oscar worthy performance by Daniel Radcliffe. 100/10
After this video I found myself booking cinema tickets to The Boy and The Heron as well as TMNT (on the same day) and also going back to spiderman 2 to 100% it as well. Great video showing us what an incredible year 2023 was for media!
missed the live by a smidgeon but here i am!!! new peej content we love to see it 🎉 edit: help i pressed play & the first thing you said was “love to see it”, impeccable
This video really reinforces my want to watch movies/show that you and sweet potats talk about on stream. So many recs that seem up my alley. But with the many streaming platforms, it’s so overwhelming. Hmmm… maybe I should consider subbing to one platform a month, that way I can check out all the things.
I am SO addicted to Baldur's Gate 3, it consumed my whole life. I love it so much that I even missed shows and films that I was genuinely excited about - because I couldn't do anything else then play, and I couldn't think of anything else. This feeling became a liiiiittle quieter when I finished my first playthrough, so I am making a list of things to catch up on. I think I've never been happier missing things, haha. But you reminded me that I really wanted to watch Scott Pilgrim, thanks, I totally forgot about that)
My biggest film rec from 2023 is Renfield!!! Its a modern, comedic take on 1930’s dracula but from the perspective of Renfield. Highly recommend if you want a funny, over the top and gory film :))
PJ I completely forgot how much you love sweet potatoes - and I started watching this eating my roasted sweet potato dinner. Subliminal message at its finest!
idk if it came out this year but the game moonlighter seems right up ur alley!! another dungeon crawler type game that has a style reminiscent of hyper light drifter. i have lost many hours to it.
I have this weird thing with sweet potatoes where I like them but only if I eat a very limited amount. Like I'll love 10 fries but then I absolutely hate the rest of them
My favorites are Puss in Boots, Mario movie, and Pokémon Concierge! I wish they’d make more of Pokémon concierge but apparently they don’t have plans to :(
im so glad i watched jury duty after you mentioned it in a stream, its not something i would've come across otherwise but i watched it all in one day and its definitely one of my tv highlights this year!
One movie you didn’t talk about was Elemental, I feel like it had mixed reviews but I personally really liked it. The animation is fun, and the story is really sweet.
I loved tmnt all growing up and this newest movie was SO good and I’m glad they continue coming up with new ideas for the franchise. Also the boy and the heron was such an incredible experience to see in theaters! One unexpected show that I really ended up liking was a physical 100. I randomly started it with my friend and thought we would stop after the first ep but ended up watching the whole season and we were so invested by the end! I played totk and LOVED it but randomly stopped playing when I got to gerudo which was my last boss fight and haven’t played since.. but I did get into Ark which is a fun dino survival game! Lastly, I am not a fan of sweet potatoes. (Plus I finally got into twitch and have been enjoying your streams!)
YOOOO STARLIGHTFROGS HERE aka the person on twitch who told you manifest gets better :P as i was watching this i considered the possibility manifest would be in here and said no fucking way 😂 BUT IT WAS! it was indeed quite trope-y at times but the whole thing overall was too good to stop watching. glad to see it ended up well for you 😆
my favorite new season of a show (along with succession) had to be it's always sunny in philadelphia, this season is one of the best ones they had ever
Didnt think I was a huge film person but had seen nearly all of these and loved them all! Although i don't agree that Saltburn is like call me by your name, yeah there's at least 1 odd scene in both but the films are very different vibes imo
couldn't agree more with your choices, especially for films and games! (I need to watch Beef still) BG3 has been so fun, it's really taken me back into dnd + the story Larian has created is stunning! genuinely all my friends can't find rest from hearing about it lol
Oh a surprisingly fun film I saw with my Odeon limitless (yeah, I tried that last year) was Renfield. It knew exactly what it was and wanted to be, and I respect that. A fun time.
My year was watching all the big animated movies like Spiderverse, Puss n' Boots, TMNT and Super Mario I had a wonderful time with all of them. There’s a bunch more I have watch but theres too many to list. As for games I haven’t finished Tears of the Kingdom like PJ but I will get to it eventually. Been loving Super Mario RPG so far and even if I don’t have PS5 Spider-Man 2 I did enjoy Sean's playthrew of it.
TotK heavily relies on the story. FOLLOW EVERYTHING IN ORDER. The final scene, the best scene I have ever experienced in any other Zelda game, possibly any video game I have ever played.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves was really good. So fun. My dad is an old DnD player and if he approves I think that's quite impressive? It felt like those older fun adventure/comedy films which for some reason we stopped making
I do love sweet potato! I'd like you to bring sweet potato fry to Japan because we cannot find any place to eat it over here although we have so many kinds of sweet potato snack! 🍠
Baldur’s Gate 3 is definitely one of my favorite games released this year aswell!! it completely consumed my life for a few months lmao and i‘m still playing it to this day haha
i saw saltburn last year, and while doing so learned how strange brighton odeon is :p but it genuinely made me want to become a film person :> i just want to hear everyone's opinion on it all the time, so i was super excited to hear your thoughts :D
I really value your media recommendations, so maybe I'll go watch TMNT now! Also if you're into roguelikes, are you looking forward to Hades 2 this year??
Hell yeah PJ gets it 😎😎 Great to get some new recommendations as I'm always looking for new stuff to watch and play ❤ Also HELL YES for The Devil's Plan hype, I've been really enjoying it and it's so interesting to me so I've been telling everyone about it :) It's true about the long introductions but it's definitely worth sticking with, and I think it shows how much they've thought about it! I'm looking forward to series 2 and I hope that it launches out and gets huge!
Listen should Kendall ever be in charge of anything ever, much less a multi-billion dollar media conglomerate started by his father? Maybe not but he’s my number one boy so I was rooting for him the whole time!!!
with how much awfully bad garbage there was i almost forgot all the good amazing works there were and PJ helped to remember that :D and also first time i've had sweet potato this weekend and its delicious great with some fried fish as a side dish too

SECONDING SECONDING SECONDING IT'S AMAZING
thirding
i felt like i was too old to enjoy the humour in bottoms 😭 but i really wanted to like it!!
As a girl who grew up quite girly and only had a sister, I never in my life have engaged with any form of TMNT content. I knew the gist but had no interest.

Hard agree 👍
@@mrzimnafuranelonger/shorter movies are never intrinsically better than the other. it completely depends on the movie, making a blanket statement either way is just foolish and/or disingenuous
I agree mostly. Hour and a half always feels a tad too short. But a crisp two hours usually leaves me satisfied without looking at my watch.
i would recommend nimona! beautiful animation, loveable characters, funny jokes, and an emotional story that left me laughing and crying
meanwhile when someone asks what I saw this year I'm like ... yeah I totally saw... a thing. I can't seem to remember so many great movies and shows I actually like.

the boy and the heron was so amazing! As a bird lover I was eating good with all that realistic bird movement

PJ - as someone who also loves and appreciates good animation, I definitely recommend checking out Blue Eye Samurai. It was beautifully animated and the main character Mizu is very complex and interesting to watch!! 💙 great video as always
The TMNT movie was truly one of the best movies from the last year!
i feel like the thing with ToTK is that it is just breath of the wild 2. so it doesnt feel as groundbreaking to play. i loved playing it and did 100% it (aside from the korok seeds). but i can see how it can be a very arduous game to get through if you were hoping for more wow! moments.
doesnt feel like all this was last year wow
you HAVE to watch Frieren if you love dnd and just need a cozy and silly emotional roller coaster of a show
i strongly believe you would enjoy the chaos of Weird: The Al Yankovic story. it has a satirical plot written by the man himself and contains an oscar worthy performance by Daniel Radcliffe. 100/10
have you watched barry? watching succession and barry back to back on hbo sundays was the highlight of my year
my monday productivity absolutely plummeted during this period of time- i couldn’t think about anything else lol
After this video I found myself booking cinema tickets to The Boy and The Heron as well as TMNT (on the same day) and also going back to spiderman 2 to 100% it as well.
Great video showing us what an incredible year 2023 was for media!
2023 was the year i had sweet potato fries for the first time EVER! you’re right, that’s the best food ever
missed the live by a smidgeon but here i am!!! new peej content we love to see it 🎉

I’ve been trying to figure out what media to catch up on bc I’ve been slacking lately so this is perfect 🙏
You should definitely check out Dave the diver if you liked dredge
I am SO addicted to Baldur's Gate 3, it consumed my whole life. I love it so much that I even missed shows and films that I was genuinely excited about - because I couldn't do anything else then play, and I couldn't think of anything else.

talcom powder guys am i right haha ( i missed the startd of the stream )
PJ I completely forgot how much you love sweet potatoes - and I started watching this eating my roasted sweet potato dinner. Subliminal message at its finest!
Happy snowing day!!!
As someone who has NOT seen the Dungeons & Dragons movie: That Chris Pine scene scared me. What the hell is going on.
Need to watch it now!
that's chris pine (thank god)
@@novak4082 😭
I am so ready for all these recommendations!
PJ you HAVE to watch blue eye samurai. I think it has become my favourite series of all time
idk if it came out this year but the game moonlighter seems right up ur alley!! another dungeon crawler type game that has a style reminiscent of hyper light drifter. i have lost many hours to it.
2024 is off to a promising start with poor things and all of us strangers
I have this weird thing with sweet potatoes where I like them but only if I eat a very limited amount. Like I'll love 10 fries but then I absolutely hate the rest of them
Over 500 hours in baldurs gate and counting babey, cannot get enough of it
My favorites are Puss in Boots, Mario movie, and Pokémon Concierge! I wish they’d make more of Pokémon concierge but apparently they don’t have plans to :(
im so glad i watched jury duty after you mentioned it in a stream, its not something i would've come across otherwise but i watched it all in one day and its definitely one of my tv highlights this year!
One movie you didn’t talk about was Elemental, I feel like it had mixed reviews but I personally really liked it. The animation is fun, and the story is really sweet.
I highly recommend Frieron: Journey's End. I've only just started it, but it came out in September 2023. Ultimate cozy fantasy 👌
I'm glad you like beau is afraid too its so fun!! and horrific I love how I can talk about it with anyone and gag retrospectively every time
I loved tmnt all growing up and this newest movie was SO good and I’m glad they continue coming up with new ideas for the franchise. Also the boy and the heron was such an incredible experience to see in theaters!

Seeing these videos make me really want to commit to actually watching media rather than just liking its Twitter memes
so true omg i love being very "online" about media but when it comes to actually watching it... hnng
Completely agree on TMNT. Perfect turtles film
Also you're clucking mad for not having Chicken Run high up the pecking order
watched bleu is afraid last night, after staying up 24 hours, and never had been in more of trance and confused in my life.
Absolutely cannot believe that PJ missed Chicken Run 2 !!!
you HAVE to finish tears of the kingdom, the ending is so worth it even though the game does feel super long
The ending of TotK is SO MUCH better than BotW. The final form of Ganon is so, so good.
YOOOO STARLIGHTFROGS HERE aka the person on twitch who told you manifest gets better :P as i was watching this i considered the possibility manifest would be in here and said no fucking way 😂 BUT IT WAS! it was indeed quite trope-y at times but the whole thing overall was too good to stop watching. glad to see it ended up well for you 😆
If you like Roguelite game, have you heard of Ship of Fools ? I'm sure you would love the art style and music. And yes, I love sweet potatoes.
my favorite new season of a show (along with succession) had to be it's always sunny in philadelphia, this season is one of the best ones they had ever
Didnt think I was a huge film person but had seen nearly all of these and loved them all! Although i don't agree that Saltburn is like call me by your name, yeah there's at least 1 odd scene in both but the films are very different vibes imo
Appreciate the heads up about how Backpack Hero plays on the switch. That was something that killed Graveyard Keeper for me
The devils plan was one of my favorite shows of the year I'm so glad you liked it
couldn't agree more with your choices, especially for films and games! (I need to watch Beef still) BG3 has been so fun, it's really taken me back into dnd + the story Larian has created is stunning! genuinely all my friends can't find rest from hearing about it lol
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who went into across the spider verse not knowing it was a two parter, I was so confused lmaoooo brilliant film tho
wait, did PJ call Ryan Gosling 'Brian' or do i just hear it wrong? lol
Oh a surprisingly fun film I saw with my Odeon limitless (yeah, I tried that last year) was Renfield. It knew exactly what it was and wanted to be, and I respect that. A fun time.
we need PJ's BG3 playthrough!!!!!
My year was watching all the big animated movies like Spiderverse, Puss n' Boots, TMNT and Super Mario I had a wonderful time with all of them. There’s a bunch more I have watch but theres too many to list.

It felt like those older fun adventure/comedy films which for some reason we stopped making
You may never see this but my recommendation for games is spirit tea
Studio Ghibli meets 16bit goodness
Could we get a D&D campaign stream? With you and Charlie? It would be just beyond amazing... Maybe a one-shot kinda thing?
I do love sweet potato!
I'd like you to bring sweet potato fry to Japan because we cannot find any place to eat it over here although we have so many kinds of sweet potato snack! 🍠
Omg I wanted to see TMNT soo badly and then never got around to it and completely forgot, thank you for the reminder
Baldur’s Gate 3 is definitely one of my favorite games released this year aswell!! it completely consumed my life for a few months lmao
and i‘m still playing it to this day haha
The Devils Plan was amazing!
Have you seen Poor Things with Emma Stone? It feels like your type of whimsical, and interesting movie!
am i the only one Cackling at "bryan gosling"
TOTK same i went on a trip and i was busy but i also do intend to go back
i saw saltburn last year, and while doing so learned how strange brighton odeon is :p but it genuinely made me want to become a film person :> i just want to hear everyone's opinion on it all the time, so i was super excited to hear your thoughts :D
I’m shocked One Piece didn’t make your TV show list, it is so great and feels very much up your alley
HOORAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
Pj, if you haven’t watched Our Flag Means Death I could not recommend more highly!!
I would kill to watch PJ play D&D
this was such a fun vid loved this :'))
Epic! I almost forgot The Last Of Us was this year. Also, I don't like sweet potatoes, I prefer just potatoes
I really value your media recommendations, so maybe I'll go watch TMNT now! Also if you're into roguelikes, are you looking forward to Hades 2 this year??
I really need to watch Beef and Pokémon concierge now huh
bottoms and theather camp were my favourite movies this year! i recommend!
i do like sweet potatoes, thanks for asking
my favorite film i saw in 2024 was the ballad of songbirds and snakes!! i highly recommend if you haven’t seen it!
Hell yeah PJ gets it 😎😎 Great to get some new recommendations as I'm always looking for new stuff to watch and play ❤ Also HELL YES for The Devil's Plan hype, I've been really enjoying it and it's so interesting to me so I've been telling everyone about it :) It's true about the long introductions but it's definitely worth sticking with, and I think it shows how much they've thought about it! I'm looking forward to series 2 and I hope that it launches out and gets huge!
is pj’s d&d campaign available to watch anywhere?
I loved what I saw of The Bear, but it was genuinely too stressful for me to watch lol. I might give it another go though as it seems incredible
If you played the Mario RPG remake, I'm curious what you thought.
got a great list of things to watch and play now 👌 cant wait
Is saltburn good or are people just watching it for the crazy meme scenes?
this is just to let you know that i like sweet potatoes. thank you
i like sweet potatoes :-)
i see the bear, I LIKE
i am once again asking you to watch bojack horseman
you didn't watch good omens season 2???
Listen should Kendall ever be in charge of anything ever, much less a multi-billion dollar media conglomerate started by his father? Maybe not but he’s my number one boy so I was rooting for him the whole time!!!
what did you think about the FNAF movie?
with how much awfully bad garbage there was i almost forgot all the good amazing works there were and PJ helped to remember that :D
and also first time i've had sweet potato this weekend and its delicious great with some fried fish as a side dish too
watch yellowjackets
Personally if i like a movie i dont care how long it is
I ❤ sweet potatoes
