Hey everyone; I'm genuinely sorry for there being no grand return for Breaking Banter, but even with this announcement, things here aren't quite done. I still have at least one more Breaking Banter video in the works (a TOP 19 OF 2019 special), and I still want to do a proper finale with Jay once we actually have a chance to do so. I think we both just want to give this thing a bigger send-off than just this video here. Until then; I love you all so very, very much. - Bailey
I appreciate the honesty and realness you've shown us. I've loved this channel and im sad to see it end, but its completely understandable. I love your new channel and will continue following you as long as you enjoy doing it.
I know a lot of you from over here on Breaking Banter joined the Loverboy family a long time ago, but it would be absolutely amazing to see everyone else continue this RUclips journey with me at my fancy new home right here: ruclips.net/channel/UCHr3YNed7NbsRxloTtEE7Sg
I remember I was fortunate enough to be one of your first 100 subscribers - and what a journey it’s been. This is absolutely the right decision. How do I know this? Because [although I doubt you’ll remember me talking to you both about this] I ran a FB page with almost 50,000 Followers since 2014, and I did exactly the same thing you did - let it go. It was time. (Somewhat ironically, looking back it seems like we both did so at pretty much the same time too!) When you said about the screencaps thing on your phone, that totally resonated with me. So yeah... I KNOW. Just because one chapter is ending doesn’t mean the book is finished! I look forward to seeing what comes next. A big thank you to you and Jay for 6 years of bantz. Go get ‘em tiger. Ya know where to find me on Twitter Bailey. 🤜🏻🤛🏻 Proud of ya mate. 🫂 ~Paddy
These videos brought me so much joy through a lot of rough times, so I just want to thank you for all that you’ve done. I am excited to see what you continue to do on Loverboy Media!
Love you my dude ❤️ Whatever the future holds for you you're gonna do great things and I will literally follow you to the ends of the earth to support you on that journey
Hey, living life is all about changes, growth . . . Follow your passions, and know that both you guys touched a bunch of strangers' lives. Thanks for that!
Much love and respect. Many of the things that you mention here are things that I myself have wrestled with and am still wrestling with. That loss of confidence and anxiety is something I get from time-to-time; ironically, it usually comes with talking about something good, because I fear I won't be able to articulate why I liked it in a way that is entertaining or intelligent. So you are not alone in those feelings, and I wish you well in your journey, following what you love.
Thanks to you guys I discovered so many great lesser-known movies, wheter it was for your reactions or reviews, and I thank you for that. Both you and Jay made me appreciate film in a different (and better) way, you were always sincere and had a very original energy in your videos. And Bailey, you're a trooper, thank you for keep trying and making all of this content for us, I loved the reviews, the albums you shared with us, the reactions, your favorite scenes from movies, everything. I wish the best for you. I've also watched the playlist with your short films and I hope we can see more of that in the future, you and Jay are great filmmakers, man. Much love!
My first comment was just a quick reaction to the title of the video before having watched it. But now I just want to say that I've loved this channel's content (I'm one of those people that found you from the CMBYN movie review/trailer reaction) but I understand where you're coming from on why it's been too hard on you to keep the channel running on your own and not wanting to create this kind of content anymore. I'm glad you'll still be making content on Loverboy Media, it's clear from watching those videos that you're able to really put all your passion and talent into those creations. Thank you Bailey for taking the time to give us such a genuine and open explanation.
Thank you Bailey. Thank you for being so honest and for looking after your mental health. At the end of the day I'm here to see the amazing work that you produce and if another format or another style fits better for you then I'm along for the ride. I can't say I won't miss this channel but I'm looking forward to what comes next. P.S. please keep on doing live streams every so often, I really enjoy watching your chilled Q&As : )
I first discovered this channel through reaction videos, but it was your reviews of Westworld Season 1 that made me a very big fan. You guys always had enlightening and intelligent takes. I remember watching the show as it aired and then waiting for your review video to come up for each episode because it genuinely enhanced my experience of watching that show and is probably one of the big reasons it's one of my favorite season of television ever made. Thanks for that. I'll miss, and have been missing, the channel because while you were doing it you were, in my opinion, the best at it on RUclips. But alas, all things must end. I'll be following Loverboy Media and hope both you and Jay are successful at whatever ya'll do in the future.
Though I will miss/have missed Breaking Banter...you made a really thoughtful and personal decision that makes total sense for you and your health. You are growing up, Bailey, and with that goes with understanding yourself better. What you want, what you need. So follow your joy and your passion. You are an immensely talented and charismatic individual and I can't wait to see wait you do next. Best of luck to you (and Jay) !!
Bailey, you were, and are, the best film reviewer on RUclips. You have made me aware of so many films, TV series and musical artists that I would have missed, and your recommendations have enhanced my life greatly...the Israeli film FOXTROT, the singer ROSALIA, the TV series BOJACK HORSEMAN, to name but a few. I of them I found because of you. Don't say you're sorry and don't regret, because any viewers / fans are glad you've ended Breaking Banter on your own terms, and you can now go on to do the projects that you're passionate about and to live the life that is best for you. I look forward to seeing whatever you do in the future. Peace Bailey. Thanks for everything.
Thanks Bailey! Because of this channel I learned a few things and U usually win my Oscar predictions every year. Best of luck to you professionally and personally!
I always imagine how exhausting doing something like this must be. I get the impression that it can very well turn into a part-time job, even though most people doing it aren't really making any significant money off of it. And as rewarding as connecting with an audience must feel, I've seen a few examples where the creators clearly feel an obligation towards the people watching, which is admirable but also toxic and consuming, in my opinion, because people have real lives that are, nonetheless, affected by this virtual existence. And that is also a problem within RUclips itself and the way it treats its creators. Small channels really struggle to grow and most people will project their self-value and the quality of their content onto that. All that being said, good for you for being able to "let go" and doing what feels right, natural, and rewarding. All the best.
Thank you and Jay for doing this project. In its heyday, it was my fave reaction and review movie channel. I understand why you're leaving it behind, and I wish you best of luck in your future endeavours. Farewell. I've watched Loverboy Media since its inception, though not always with perfect regularity. Just a human.
I can't say how much I support what you are doing. Everything you said about movie reviewing is part of a conversation that needs to be had. I too don't review movies I hate or don't like because it's miserable. I think that opinions also change over time or given more information about a movie. I applaud you and I didn't realize it but I am already subbed to your other channel. Good luck and I am excited for your next content!
I really, really enjoyed the work you did on this channel and I look forward to following your videos on your other channel and whatever you do in the future!
This channel has been invaluable for me and making choices in what films to see, and I knew I could trust you both, considering we share a similar love for Arrival and The Last Jedi. Regardless, as sad as it is to end this channel, everything must come to an end, and I think you are making the right choice to end it now and take care of yourself. I'm so excited to follow you in your future endeavors. :) (Also, just a selfish suggestion, but you should consider continuing your favorite of the year lists over on Loverboy Media. I think it could migrate well over to that channel, and I love watching the ones you have made in the past. But absolutely no pressure. I just like those a lot :) )
Thanks so much to both you and Jay! I absolutely adore this channel ever since you cried over the Leftovers - I have never encountered anyone else who was so passionate about that show as I am :)
No apologies necessary. You two guys are both awesome human beings. I have enjoyed your content and your engaging personalities. First and foremost, your health, happiness and well being are what matters. Thank you for the years of enjoyable content. I look forward to more on your Loverboy channel. My best to you both. Stay safe, healthy and happy! ✌🏻🙂✌🏻
Wow this video REALLY REALLY speaks to me. I think we're kind of the same person haha. Have been doing movie reviews for 5 years, want to get.more into the "video essay" thing more so than the shallow "X is good" "X is bad" stuff Also I'm a 24 year old Australian guy haha - I didn't actually realise this channel existed till this morning though. Ive been watching Loverboy Media for a bit now and LOVE it (and I suspected there must have been a previous channel since your videos were so good and you don't just fall right into that) And anyway, so coming from a late late finder or this channel but bring a big fan of your new stuff - I completely understand why you've made this decision and I back it up mate
So glad I stumbled across this channel, was my go to for reviews. Sad to see it go but as long as it's core is still kicking around on the platform I'm happy. Can't wait to see what u do next 😁
Hey Bailey, I’ve been watching since 2015 and I just wanted to say thank you as I definitely wouldn’t be as passionate about film without this channel as well as loverboy. Good luck in the future 👍
Why haven’t I heard of Lover boy media 🤭 Just know that I enjoyed you and Jays past reactions and reviews because you’ve been so authentic and your scintillating descriptions were always a true treasure to hear.
Breaking Banter made me so happy. But you’re right, you have to do what needs to be done to become a filmmaker. I can’t wait to see what you gonna become. And thank you for everything.
The Loverboy channel is amazing because you get to take your time and create the content that you truly want to create. You never have to be pressured to drop more content😋 Thank you, Bailey.
I wish you the best. I've subscribed in 2016 because of the Doctor Strange trailer reaction and I stayed for the movie reviews. Thank you for the awesome content and I'll revisit the old videos. Good luck.
Random comment, but if Unus Annus has taught us anything, it’s that everything has a natural end, and this channel seems to have hit that, and we gotta be okay with it. Frankly, I’ve enjoyed the loverboy media stuff more than the this channel and I guess the obvious reason for that was perhaps the difference in passion for the channels. Basically alls I’m saying is just keep ‘er goin’ in the way you feel you need to.
As sad as it is that this is happening, I think we all saw it coming. I always thought you would turn this channel into a podcast o something, but clearly this is the best decision for you. I hope you find the success and joy with Loverboy Media. Adios Bailey, we'll all be watching in the other channel.
This is gonna sound kind of weird but I used to watch some of your videos. I havent watched movie reviews in a long time due to how busy my schedule is. But two days ago for some reason your channel came to mind out of nowhere. Just thought it was interesting the timing of your video and your channel coming up in my head again.
I was actually thinking about you recently as Revelation started again and thought that you hadn't posted anything in a while. But that's ok! We move on and it's for the best. To the future!
I know you guys are fans of The Leftovers so was curious about your opinion on the Watchmen show, which is from the same writer/director. Just discovered it during Quarantine and was really impressed (and I ended up watch Leftovers because of Watchmen).
I agree that this channel made much more sense as a friendship project. However, I don't think you necessarily need to say only positive things about movies in your videos. For example, when you guys reviewed Call Me By Your Name, you mentioned at the end that you didn't think the movie was perfect, but you decided not to elaborate on that. There's absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out things that you think could be improved. It may actually draw the attention of people to things they might not have noticed. You don't need to hate the movie to mention what you think would make it even better. People might disagree and express that in the comments but they may also say something that gives you a different perspective that you had not considered.
This seems unnecessarily dramatic. This channel has been dead for quite a while and you've been much more successful on Loverboy ... what's the point of officially saying goodbye to this?
Hey everyone; I'm genuinely sorry for there being no grand return for Breaking Banter, but even with this announcement, things here aren't quite done. I still have at least one more Breaking Banter video in the works (a TOP 19 OF 2019 special), and I still want to do a proper finale with Jay once we actually have a chance to do so.

I appreciate the honesty and realness you've shown us. I've loved this channel and im sad to see it end, but its completely understandable. I love your new channel and will continue following you as long as you enjoy doing it.
Your love for cinema is truly inspiring, hope you've a bright future full of success and great things happening to you
I know a lot of you from over here on Breaking Banter joined the Loverboy family a long time ago, but it would be absolutely amazing to see everyone else continue this RUclips journey with me at my fancy new home right here: ruclips.net/channel/UCHr3YNed7NbsRxloTtEE7Sg
No matter what channel you’re committing to, your work ethic is inspiring. Proud to be your friend, bruh. Much love fam ❤️
we on the Loverboy train now!
Forever proud of you Bailey, much love brother ❤️
19:53 never be sorry for being authentic and chasing your dream.
I remember I was fortunate enough to be one of your first 100 subscribers - and what a journey it’s been. This is absolutely the right decision. How do I know this?

Thank you for all of this I can't thank you enough! I think you're awesome mate can't get enough of your work! Thanks again. Bob
Love you my dude ❤️ Whatever the future holds for you you're gonna do great things and I will literally follow you to the ends of the earth to support you on that journey
You did a bloody great job!
Thank you! 🙏Good luck with everything - keep up your positive way 👍
I literally just discovered this channel existed
*I’m face palming myself so hard for my ignorance right now*
Hey, living life is all about changes, growth . . .
Follow your passions, and know that both you guys touched a bunch of strangers' lives. Thanks for that!
Oh, and you guys pointed me in the direction of one of my favourite shows ever, The Leftovers, to which I'm very grateful haha.
Sad to see one of my favorite review channels go, but I understand the decision. Wishing you the best.
Much love and respect. Many of the things that you mention here are things that I myself have wrestled with and am still wrestling with.

Gonna miss you man. Please stay with lover boy media

I came back to see your WW84 review since your WW1 review made be subscribe. That and many videos were amazing
Friendship ended with Breaking Banter. Now Loverboy Media is my best friend.
Thank you and Jay for doing this project. In its heyday, it was my fave reaction and review movie channel.

My favourite video from you was your MI6 Fallout! Do what is best 4 you man!😁 love this channel!

Why haven’t I heard of Lover boy media 🤭
Just know that I enjoyed you and Jays past reactions and reviews because you’ve been so authentic and your scintillating descriptions were always a true treasure to hear.
30 seconds was all I needed
I sorry to hear that . Always thought it was one of the better channels on RUclips , but I will be sure to subscribe to the loverboy channel
Breaking Banter made me so happy. But you’re right, you have to do what needs to be done to become a filmmaker. I can’t wait to see what you gonna become.

Nooooooo noooooooo
Can I just give you a hug?
I was actually thinking about you recently as Revelation started again and thought that you hadn't posted anything in a while. But that's ok! We move on and it's for the best. To the future!
Hoooooooooomg I got so scared I thought you were leaving youtube 😨 and YES i was blaiming it on the current year
dude how are your teeth so perfect.. Making me look like a fucking donkey!
I never connected with anyone more than how much I did with you guys on the Josstice League review.
:(
2:30 The channel isnt being removed! Just wont get any new videos.
I wish you the best in your life and career. ❤❤
NooOoooOooooooo, 2020 do suck 🥺
Unrelated topic, have you got an advance screening for WW84?
You're awesome!
I remember when he did videos with his twin lol
Feels weird to give this a thumbs up, but - ya know... Thumbs up for you & your future.
I know you guys are fans of The Leftovers so was curious about your opinion on the Watchmen show, which is from the same writer/director. Just discovered it during Quarantine and was really impressed (and I ended up watch Leftovers because of Watchmen).
09:55 ❤❤❤❤
Hey, I think you're being a little too hard on yourself. It's okay you outgrew this channel. It happens. Best of luck, young man!
Subscribing now....
byeee.. :(
2020 had to take one more thing from us huh. JK lmao. Totally understand this decision and wish you the best of luck on LBM and future endeavors.
❤️❤️❤️❤️

First time visiting the channel:
Oh no! Anyway
Just play Minecraft , you’ll have more view and be entertain
This seems unnecessarily dramatic. This channel has been dead for quite a while and you've been much more successful on Loverboy ... what's the point of officially saying goodbye to this?
Lover boy media is so boring in comparison to braking banter sorry
You absolutely do not need to say this
:(
