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.

#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.

#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.

https://youtu.be/6SL5yzs5-o4?si=yPucu2ALaUy_h2-a

#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.

Spain to see its first total solar eclipse in more than a century.

Mainland Spain is about to get its first total solar eclipse in more than 100 years, with the path of totality also touching Iceland and Greenland on 12 August.

Add a crescendoing meteor shower and a six-planet parade on the same day, and the heavens will be overflowing with spectacle.

Next year’s show will last even longer.

Where Are All These #Meteors Coming From?
The frequency of fireballs in our planet’s skies seemed to grow in recent months. #NASA and other meteor experts can’t agree on what explains it.
Number of fireballs in 3 mo of 2026 was double what is usually reported to American #Meteor Society in the first quarter of other years.
This sort of activity can sometimes be attributed to a major #meteorshower. But none were scheduled during the fireball spike.

Thats a wonderful article.
Full of data.

Being the sceptic that I am, I have examined it thoughrly.
What I am finding is that the article is very careful NOT to say certain things.

Specifically, they've built a rigorous empirical case that the near-Earth meteoroid environment changed in early 2026, then systematically refused to speculate on what changed it. That refusal is the article.

I have reviewed the data and it appears that contrary to my earlier post, Earth HAS NOT passed through the area of the plane of the ecliptic #3iAtlas has passed through.

The article looks for a cause, then totally ignores one of the most profound events in this year, if not decade, the anomalous interstellar visitor.

"Astronomers Say Recent Rash of Meteor Sightings ‘Warrants Serious Investigation’

About a dozen of the biggest fireballs spotted by hundreds of witnesses across the sky are all coming from the same place, according to a new trajectory analysis.

Astronomers are still searching for answers behind this year’s unusual wave of loud and fiery meteor sightings. Over 3,000 people witnessed a slowly disintegrating daytime fireball over Western Europe. Hundreds more reported the sight—and sonic boom—of a 7-ton, 6-foot (2-meter) asteroid screeching above Ohio. March alone has already seen over 40 meteor cases, with yet another ripping through the sky over Texas last Saturday, breaking the sound barrier, before a fragment crashed into a north Houston home and ricocheted around one bedroom like a pinball.

Now, a new analysis published by the American Meteor Society (AMS) on Wednesday has confirmed just how much of a statistical outlier this 2026 barrage has been—as well as early indications of where all these rocks in our solar system might have come from.

'After years of stable baseline activity, something appears to have shifted, according to AMS researcher Mike Hankey, who manages the society’s fireball reporting tools. 'The signal is consistent across multiple metrics.'

(. . .)

'What makes 2026 unique is the combination,' Hankey wrote. 'Prior high-sound years like 2021 and 2023 had elevated percentages but moderate event counts. In 2026, both the rate and the absolute count are high.'

(. . .)

In other words, while the total number of meteor cases has not deviated from researchers’ statistical expectations, the percentage of loud and well-documented cases did."

"Has Something Changed in the Near-Earth Meteoroid Environment?

Yesterday I spent the day working with Claude AI (Opus 4.5) to dig into the AMS fireball database going back to 2011. The goal was to answer the question everyone’s been asking: is fireball activity actually up, or does it just feel that way?

The short answer: yes, it’s up — and the data tells us something interesting about why.

The number of large fireball events (those seen by 50+ witnesses) has roughly doubled in Q1 2026 compared to the five-year average. But the total number of fireballs is about normal. So it’s not that more rocks are hitting us — it’s that more of them are big enough to notice."
