What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 149
Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.
Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?
I recommend you check out the following videos I found.
#1 A Look At The Johnson County War – If you have seen the 1980 movie Heaven’s Gate, then you have been exposed to the Johnson County War which was a ranger war in the state of Wyoming that happened from 1889 to 1893. What the movie showed, however, was a historical fiction presentation and it could not be taken seriously as a reference of American history. To learn about the Johnson County War with historical attention, watch the video below.

#2 Popcorn in Bed Reacts To U-571 – Speaking of historical fiction, have you seen the movie U-571? When that movie was released in 2000, it only reminded me of other submarine movies like Das Boot, The Hunt For Red October and Crimson Tide. The movie directed by Jonathan Mostow and starring Matthew McConaughey made a lot of buzz when it opened at #1 in the American box office and that success influenced a lot of moviegoers here in the Philippines to watch it in local cinemas. I never saw U-571 but I noticed how much of an impact it had on Popcorn in Bed’s reaction video which I encourage you to watch.

#3 Japan Pushes Back Against Islam – There is a disturbing trend that has been happening in Japan that their local media and the international news organizations are not telling you…the Islamic foreigners there have been causing a series of disturbances such as occupying public spaces for Muslim prayers/gatherings, littering, rape, the construction of an illegal mosque and more. That said, there are lots of Japanese nationalists and concerned citizens who are fighting back and expressing demands and complaints to their government officials. It is clear that the Muslim foreigners there in Japan have this collective mindset of conquering Japan, violating the Japanese and gaining power under the guise of multiculturalism and political correctness. Watch the videos below.

#4 The Relevance Of The 1990s – Remember how unique the 1990s was when it comes to the evolution of technology, the marketing of products, the gradual transformation of pop culture in America and the like? There was indeed something special about the said decade which explains the driving force behind the Millennials’ nostalgia about it. To find out more, watch the video below.
https://youtu.be/gROvtZw0mz0?si=yLrvmcAvGRBu-P2V
#5 When Hollywood Released Two Similar Movies In 1998 – Way back in 1998, moviegoers worldwide saw two movies from Hollywood that had similar concepts about the world getting hit by something from deep space. The movies were Deep Impact and Armageddon, and they were released in the same summer box office season in America. Deep Impact was more dramatic and tried hard to be believable while Armageddon was highly exaggerated and had Michael Bay’s flair all over it. The two films were released at a time when disaster movies had a resurgence and they used computer-generated images to make realize their respective visual concepts. I find an analytical video about the two 1998 movies and I encourage you all to watch it.
https://youtu.be/5T6NMEdu70k?si=TnFON8N9JbI189RA
#6 You, Me And The Movies React To Ghost In The Shell (1995) – There are many reasons why the 1995 anime feature film Ghost in the Shell is very significant. The adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s literary Ghost in the Shell was made with very high production values under the direction of Mamoru Oshii, the story had many futuristic concepts that became very relevant today, and it was very influential for many Hollywood filmmakers. That said, I liked how the anime feature film drew reactions from You, Me and the Movies, and their reaction video is a must-see!
https://youtu.be/4Q_G6zObECg?si=CEgIjpaJl0WlbI64
#7 Casablanca Reaction Video Of EOM Reacts – There is nothing like watching a classic, black-and-white movie like Casablanca. Set in French Morocco, the story follows many characters dealing with the uncertainty of war and it is inside the nightclub and gambling den of American expatriate Rick Blaine where a lot of developments happened. The 1942 movie is memorable with its top-notch stars (Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman are phenomenal), the dramatic plot, the immersive settings and many iconic lines and moments. I have seen the movie a few times already on 4K Blu-ray format and I enjoyed watching EOM Reacts’ video of it. Go watch his video below.

#8 Soba Getting Reinvented In Japan – Soba – a Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour – is getting reinvented in Japan as the traditional shops there are struggling with the rising costs of ingredients as well as a growing shortage of successors to the operators. In an effort to stay in business while avoiding raising prices, the surviving soba restaurants (and some new ones) there are reinventing the dining experience and doing other things to preserve the traditional soba culture. Watch and learn from the video below.

#9 Ranting For Vengeance Slams Zach Cregger And His Resident Evil Movie – As some of you already know, there is another new live-action movie of Resident Evil coming out soon and the early previews showed very little connections with the Resident Evil games of Capcom. Actor Zach Cregger is the director and co-writer of the new Resident Evil movie and Ranting for Vengeance slammed him hard in his recent YouTube video. Not only that, the YouTuber also backed up his criticism on Cregger and the 2026 Resident Evil movie with facts and details that you have to see. That said, go watch his video below and pay close attention to the details.
https://youtu.be/R5ALrwYsd78?si=WN0icx4lPk9UNTp8
#10 Atari Jaguar CD Revisited – While I played a lot of games of Atari (both on Atari 2600 console and arcade games) in my life, I never owned an Atari Jaguar nor its CD-ROM add-on device. Indeed, there was a time in the 1990s when Atari got back in console gaming starting with the Jaguar console that operated with games in cartridge format. A short time later, the add-on Atari Jaguar CD was released and it looked like a toilet with the lid open. To learn more about the Atari Jaguar CD, watch the retro gaming video below.

Meteor First Impact Is a Disaster Movie That Forgets to Be About the Disaster
By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News
Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — July 25, 2026
A bad disaster movie can still be entertaining. It can be cheap, silly, loud, and scientifically ridiculous, and still work if it knows what it is doing. Meteor First Impact does not. It is not fun-bad. It is not clever-bad. It is not even memorably bad in the way some low-budget films become watchable by accident. It is simply poorly made.
The film starts with a familiar setup. A scientist discovers a threat from space. Other people do not listen. Authority figures dismiss him. That part is old, but it can still work if the movie builds tension from there. This one does not. Instead, it starts drifting almost immediately into flat dialogue, thin characters, random side plots, and scene transitions that feel less like storytelling than a pile of pages shuffled into the wrong order.
Flat Characters, Flat Dialogue
One of the movie’s biggest problems is that it gives the audience very little reason to care about anyone in it. The characters are not just underwritten. They are barely defined at all. Lucas, the boyfriend, begins as a bland missing-person subplot with a broken ankle and almost no personality. Haley is supposed to matter emotionally, but the movie never gives her much depth beyond repeated distress and reaction shots. The father is left to carry large parts of the story with dialogue that often sounds mechanical rather than human.
That matters because disaster films depend on emotional investment. The audience does not need perfect realism, but it does need a reason to care who survives. Meteor First Impact keeps presenting characters as if they are important without doing the work to make them feel important.
The dialogue does not help. Much of it sounds like placeholder writing left in a rough draft. When the movie wants urgency, people repeat the same names and commands. When it wants mystery, someone appears and demands information in broad, generic lines. When it wants emotional depth, it reaches for speeches that sound imported from another script entirely.
A Story That Cannot Hold Together
The film’s central failure is structural. It does not unfold in a clear, controlled way. It jumps. It lurches. It drops in scenes that do not seem to belong to the same movie.
At one point, the story veers from meteor danger into illness, cancer treatment, insurance problems, hospice care, and then later reveals that some of that material was a flashback. That explains what the scenes were, but not why they were inserted so clumsily that they looked like a sudden change of channel. A flashback is supposed to sharpen the present. Here it just breaks the flow further.
The same problem appears in the hostage material. The father and daughter are suddenly tied to folding chairs in a cabin by an armed man whose motives are explained late and badly. The threat he makes against Lucas does not even hold together, because the film later admits that nobody really knows where Lucas is. A serious threat requires control over the hostage. Without that, the whole thing feels like bluff-level suspense.
The geography is also weak. Characters move from grassland to dirt, from woods to riverbanks, from one patch of terrain to another with little sense of space. In a survival or disaster film, location matters. Viewers need to understand where people are, how far apart they are, and what stands between them and safety. Meteor First Impact never builds that kind of clarity.
Props Instead of Tension
Again and again, the movie substitutes visual signals for real suspense. Guns appear. Blood appears. Radios appear. Broadcasting equipment appears. A hidden survival shelter appears. None of these things matter as much as the movie wants them to, because the story underneath them is so weak.
The armed villain’s weapon looks less like a convincing rifle than something assembled by a prop department out of spare pipe. The blood on people’s faces looks more like red paint than injury. The film wants the visual language of danger without doing the hard work of creating danger that feels earned.
That pattern reaches its peak in the late bunker sequence. What is presented as a survival shelter looks more like a Quonset hut dressed up as a bunker. Inside is a convenient supply of communication equipment, tapes, food, water, and technical systems waiting to be used. It does not feel like payoff. It feels like another box of plot furniture dragged onstage near the end.
Lucas Becomes Whatever the Plot Needs
Lucas may be the clearest example of the script’s desperation. Early in the film, he is the missing, injured boyfriend. Later, he becomes much more than that. He reappears knowing Morse code, helping with communications gear, and then suddenly explaining how he solved a cipher and gained access to a system by matching plaintext to coded letters.
That is not character development. That is convenience.
The movie keeps handing Lucas exactly the skills needed for the next problem, with little or no setup. He stops being a believable person and turns into a toolbox. When a script suddenly makes a previously vague character into a hacker, code-breaker, and communications specialist near the end, it is not revealing hidden depth. It is patching holes in real time.
The Movie Cannot Decide the Size of Its Own Apocalypse
The meteor threat is also inconsistent. Early on, impacts seem small enough that a single building getting hit feels like a strangely limited event. Late in the film, the sky fills with larger clusters that look more like bombardment than isolated strikes. The movie wants the visuals of a mass-casualty apocalypse, but it spends too much of its runtime acting as if the danger is still small enough to contain within side plots and family arguments.
A better film would make the scale of the disaster legible. It would show whether this is a regional emergency, a city-level catastrophe, or an extinction-level chain of events. Meteor First Impact seems to decide that question scene by scene depending on what image it wants in the moment.
By the end, the movie gestures toward global effects, including ash in the atmosphere and the start of a new ice age. That is a large claim. But it lands weakly because the script has not built a clear, disciplined argument around it. The film wants the audience to conclude that the scientist was right and should have been heard, but the story never really explains what meaningful action could have prevented the outcome. If the meteors were always going to hit and nobody could stop them, then the film’s central dramatic conflict is hollow from the start.
An Ending Borrowed From Better Movies
The final stretch feels borrowed from stronger apocalypse stories. Survivors in a shelter. Radio contact. late-stage destruction outside. Hints of rebuilding. A surprise pregnancy. None of it lands because the movie has not earned the emotional shift.
A final radio contact can feel powerful if the film has built isolation well. A pregnancy reveal can feel meaningful if the characters feel real. Here, both arrive as late attempts to create warmth and hope after an hour of confusion, fakery, and narrative whiplash.
That is the pattern across the whole production. Whenever the movie needs tension, it reaches for noise. Whenever it needs depth, it reaches for flashbacks or speeches. Whenever it needs a solution, it upgrades Lucas. Whenever it needs scale, it throws more meteors at the sky. It keeps reaching outward because there is not enough strength at the center.
Final Assessment
Meteor First Impact is not a good B movie. Good B movies know how to move. They know how to keep the audience involved even when the money is low and the science is silly. This film does not have that kind of energy or control. It is cheap-looking, emotionally forced, structurally confused, and badly assembled.
Its biggest failure is simple: by the final minutes, it is hard to care whether anyone survives. For a disaster movie, that is fatal.

The TV miniseries of “The Poseidon Adventure” from 2004 hallmarks just as hard as any Hallmark romance I've seen—and I've watched an embarrassment of them over the years.

Just logged Airport (1970) on Letterboxd.
Helen Hayes is a queen. The rest is made-for-TV chaos in a fur coat.
Some decent nighttime snow shots, but otherwise this movie feels like someone tried to stretch a soap opera across a runway and accidentally invented the disaster genre.

1. Their only pairing outside of BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE yet James Stewart and Jack Lemmon don’t even trade dialog in this scene.

3 things about Jack Smight’s AIRPORT 1975 [1974]
1. Take a shot every time Charlton Heston calls her “honey.”
2. Her manuscript and tape recorder take the place of her jewels in the bomb-proof carrying case.
3. The only reason he’s on the plane is to watch the in-flight movie?!Did everything Jack Smight touch turn to crap? Or was it already crap and he just did what he had to do, but poorly?

Our monthly bonus chat is live! This special episode focuses on a simple question - Why can't Hollywood make a good climate change movie? This was prompted by @xtinadlr 's rewatch of The Day After Tomorrow some time ago, and as a scientist and solarpunk, she was both horrified and offended.
Join us as she gets it out of her system, and we deep-dive into this example of the representation of climate catastrophe on the silver screen!

Earthquake (1974) has everything that I love in a 70s disaster movie. If I wanted to explain the genre to someone I'd say go see Earthquake. Plus it has Chuck Heston. And it still looks cool. With no CGI!

Rollercoaster (1977) gets lumped into the disaster movie genre but it's really a suspense thriller, and a very good and very exciting one. It's about a brilliant evil extortionist who targets amusement parks, especially the rollercoasters.

I love 70s disaster movies but The Hindenburg (1975) doesn't quite come off, despite some interesting ideas. Since it was a real disaster so we know exactly what's going to happen it tries to focus on why it might have happened.

@AbandonedAmerica
Irwin Allen's The Swarm (1978) was so bad it was good. #SpoilerAlert: My favorite scene is when the bees somehow got into the control room of a nuclear power plant and caused a meltdown complete with a mushroom cloud.
