It's A Wonderful Life - Live Watch-A-Long
WHEN: TODAY 12/19/20 @ 4PM MST (Countdown Timer)
Hey everyone! Tonight Carly and I will be watching "It's a Wonderful Life", live for the first time with all of you! We won't be looking at chat during the movie, but will chat for a few minutes before we start and join in the discussion afterwards.
In order to watch along, you'll have to have an Amazon Prime Video account and link that to your Twitch.tv account. Here is a guide on how to link them together. If you don't have Amazon Prime Video, you can sign up for a 30 day trial if you wanted to give it a try.
Once you've connected your accounts, just hop on over to my twitch channel - twitch.tv/popcorninbed - we'll get started and be watching the movie together! The movie will sync together for everyone. For those that don't have Prime Video or can't get it, we'll try to provide a live timestamp for where we are in the movie so you can watch.
If you have any questions, post them here and I'll try to help!

Patreon could make some strides, with adding a few touch ups to how the site is built.
I couldn't get it, and I'm on Twitch?
It's very strange to me that Amazon doesn't allow cross region watch parties. I'm in the UK, and I rented the movie on Amazon specifically for this, but when the party started it said it is not available in my region. I'm not sure if this means it's not available on Prime or not available on Amazon. As I type this I realise it probably means because it is not on Prime in the UK we could not watch along ? I don't know. We need to try this with a movie that is available on Prime in both regions! :)
Dirk, I'm trying to research this, but I think Amazon watch parties are limited to regions... I don;t like that. There are other 'watch party' type services I hope we can explore together in the future.
I missed it dang it hopefully she does it again soon
I've watched this movie so many times as it's my all time favorite. Managed to synchronize it pretty well "manually" as it wasn't available on Prime in Canada. Just waited for a moment, when young Mary whispers in George's ear, I knew the girls would respond to and pressed play. Was a real treat watching it together for the 1st time... Thanks Merry Christmas
Thanks for the "Wonderful" event! I had a great time!
I had a few technical difficulties but loved the reaction! Look forward to rewatching it.
I really hope they enjoyed it. Hopefully they understand why we wanted nothing distracting them from George Bailey's life story. All of it has profound meaning by the end.
I had to work , so will wait patiently for the regular reaction viewing
I feel like I went to a Christmas party last night. That was a lot of fun.
It was, wasn’t it!
Looking forward to the recorded version. Had to Miss this live because of the time difference ☺️
Had to miss the live stream on Twitch tonight, but I will very much look forwarding to watching the recording when it posts.
I was so bummed when I got home and found I'd missed the first 40 minutes, basically making it no longer a live reaction for me, even if I could figure out how to rewind the reaction and sync etc. And I was so excited because I've never actually seen the whole movie, and watching with Cassie AND Carly, dude I was so excited, and I missed it just to visit my stupid old dad.... Just kidding 😂 I love my dad and he's gonna laugh when I tell him I said that. I am still bummed I missed the live react, AGAIN
That was great!
i didn't get it to work, but manually synced up the movie in another window and enjoyed it as much/more than I have in years! (IAWL has been a tradition for me since the 80's) Loved It!
Worked perfectly for me and I joined 30 mins after it all began. Synced with no problems and I enjoyed every second of the movie, commentary and conclusion. Thanks SO much for the entertainment and, Merry Christmas to ALL. Nighty Nite! ~JR
Never worked for me. Had to synchronize with the movie on Prime. Stuff like this happens in the digital age. It’ll be up on Patreon tomorrow. I appreciate the effort. Don’t beat up on people trying something different. Merry Christmas everyone.
The movie didn't pop up on mine.
Not working. No movie showing. 🧐
Refresh your screen if you see nothing. Starting soon.
I guess it is true. It’s hard these days to get everyone to sit in a room together and have a conversation.
Finally popped up for me
Okay it’s up!
Looks like it is starting. Page updated.
A slight delay, folks, hang on!
Maybe should’ve stuck with YouTube?
Hopefully somebody told them so they don't start watching without us
I’m assuming there’s just some technical glitches.
Where's the live stream?
Currently looking for the live steam but don't see it. Am I doing something wrong?
I'm sure they're working on it.
Linked up but nothing live???
Same
All I see is popular clips
Guess watching it through the Twitch app on my TV isn't an option since no broadcast is showing up on your channel. Oh well, will watch it tomorrow.
Same with me
I'm here - is this the right time and place?
Linked up, logged in, anxiously waiting!
Looking forward to this - I can quote the entire movie, but it will be fun to watch along with the the PIB sisters and community! To quote Cassie's reaction in Rocky II - "Oh my gosh...It's happening!!!!"
Bahhhh Humbuggg!!!
My favorite Christmas movie since I was tiny!
Psyched for this one! I usually watch it around this time of year.
It’s funny that I get so excited for these things. Who could have imagined this just a few years ago? Plus didn’t know about Twitch connectivity to Prime for shared viewing (I’m new to this) -cool!
Hooray! I think I'm set up.
Enjoy, it's a great movie, if I had the knowledge of linking this with that, I'd watch along with you and Carly
*Happy Dance* 💃🏻 Can’t wait!!!
You make me feel so old.
Yeah, I just signed up for Twitch and Amazon Prime for the first time for this business. Now I just need a telephone that connects to the internet and I'll be in the 21st century finally.
Won't have Amazon Prime, but I have a copy of the movie. Just let us know when to start playing.
I'm new to "twitch" so help me out. Created and connected account on my fire tv. Found and follow Cassie's account. See boxes for the movie Arrival. Just host not movie. So do I have to have a second screen? Not sure what I'm supposed to see.
when the live starts, the movie will start and show up for you as well as our reaction in the corner! It sounds like you have everything set up correctly!
PLEASE REACT TO BAD BOYS WILL SMITH AND THE EQUALIZER DENZEL WASHINGTON
setting an alarm!
You’ve gotta do the time that works for you, but it’s certainly a late one for your European audience
Work day in Australia. :😪
Will I be able to watch the reaction another time?
yes! we are going to record it and will be on patreon tomorrow!
Dang I’ll be at work and can’t make it to the watch along! Hope everyone has a good time though! 😁
Do you need a twitch account to watch live or will it also be on Patreon or YouTube?
This live watch a long will be on twitch. It will have the ability of synching the movie for everyone watching live. Patreon doesn't have such a feature.
Hey I'm logged in ready to go! Is it time yet?/kidding
A Capra-esque Christmas Holiday is exactly what I needed and watching again with two first timers is just a real treat. Reactions to these classics is why I’m here! Rocky, Star Wars, Blade Runner, Die Hard, Rear Window and now It’s A Wonderful Life? Go PIB Team!
First time watching it for me as well. And as a watch along with you it's a bonus.
Too late for me sadly :( Hope you enjoy!
How have you not seen this yet Cassie? This is like everything you've said you love in a movie? This is going to be instant all time favorite for you.
Good choice to concentrate on just the movie. It's an amazing and very emotional movie.
