August 21, 2023 The Reactorverse Podcast Ep. 7: Kyle Katarn
Universes collide as Star Wars expert and reactor Kyle Katarn joins the Reactorverse Podcast in this episode. Kyle dives into the history of his love for the series, how he began his reaction career and how he navigates the troubled waters that is the fandom as it stands today.
This interview was filmed prior to the 2023 WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike. We stand in solidarity with the unions in their fight for fair dues.
This interview focuses heavily on the Star Wars brand but is not meant as direct promotion of that material or the studios associated with it. As with every Reactorverse interview, the goal is to highlight the creative endeavors of the participants and their passion.

July 17, 2023 The Reactorverse Podcast Ep. 2: CinePals / CineDesi's Jaby Koay & Achara Kirk
In 2006, a channel debuted on YouTube called Jaby Koay, featuring its titular personality performing stunt reels, comedy sketches and the occasional movie review as a way to book potential acting jobs. The movie reviews, he noticed, got a lot more attention and in 2013, he pivoted to making reaction videos, adding cohost Achara Kirk two years later.
Though initially focused on American content, Jaby and Achara found a surprising data point: their audience spiked whenever they reacted to Indian film trailers. Legions of new fans began subscribing to the channel.
In 2017, Jaby and Achara decided to create a second channel, Get Jaby, for their reactions to Western film and television, revamping the original channel to focus exclusively on Indian and South Asian content.
In 2023, they rechristened the channels as CineDesi and CinePals. Today, CineDesi boasts over 2 million followers, and collectively, both channels have garnered 2 billion views.
In this episode of the Reactorverse Podcast, Jaby and Achara talk to host Eric Rodriguez about their journey to becoming one of the largest reaction channels in the world, the difference between American and international fandoms, and how they mastered the learning curve of Indian cinema.
