FRANCHISE FRIDAYS
Hey howdy Hey!
got the monthly unboxing LIVE TODAY at 3pm CST (roughly an hour from now)! It's also my birthday and I'd LOVE to see you in the chat!
the SCREAM movies were perfect for my birthday month and a little bit of a spoiler: I never guess any of the killers correctly... which y'all probably aren't surprised by.
This is for Franchise Fridays in MAY!
PER usual - this is multiple choice so be sure to vote for all that you'd like to see.
I know many don't scary or horror so I'll leave that off this time!
ALSO also - May is our trip to the Byer's House from Stranger Things so I need to watch season 3 - this I can film a few reactions in the house! (you either love that or hate that)

I’d love to add the Jason Bourne series!
I would love it, if Underworld won; the first 2 films in the series are really good, & right up Ashleigh’s alley: lots of supernatural goodness, & a great cast playing a bunch of sexy vampires & werewolves- often shirtless…what’s not to love haha. I’d also love the Pink Panther to win, as there’s a couple of gems in there, & Peter Sellers was fantastic as Inspector Clouseau; I think Ashleigh might also enjoy a lot of the slapstick humour: especially Clouseau’s interactions with the wonderful Cato, & Chief Inspector Dreyfus, which are still laugh out loud funny today, If they don’t win this time, hopefully they’ll come back round again.
Clouseau interrogating Professor Fassbender’s staff 😂
James Bond! I want you to see A View to a Kill. Dammit!
Chris Farley. Natalie Portman. Sarah Michelle Gellar. Will Ferrell. Colin Farrell. Catherine Zeta Jones. Antonio Banderas.
Brendan Fraser
Would love to see you react to more Tom Hanks
Actor poll! Here’s some ideas; Steve Carrell. Steve Martin. Keanu (still so many of his left to watch). Ryan Gosling. Michelle Williams. Emma Stone. Cate Blanchett. Julianne Moore. Emma Thompson. There’s sooo many. Would love to see a lady featured. 🩵
Jackie Chan and we can watch Legend of Drunken Master. Or Steve Martin and we can do Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, All of Me, Bowfinger, and The Man with Two Brains
Or My Blue Heaven
Actor poll - Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe. @Nocke Devilkyn Jodie Foster is an excellent suggestion!
For the Actor poll I'd like to suggest a few actors who might get overlooked but defin deserve a nod here: Charlize Theron - Her role in Monster was incredible as is much of her other work. Jodie Foster - multiple Oscars and steallar performances. Jackie Chan - Huge star overseas and his movies have comedy, heart and a lot of action. I think Ashleigh would like them a lot.
Well, just for pure fun, how about a month of Guy Ritchie films?
On the other hand, if you don't mind black and white, how about a month of Billy Wilder films?
Can I make the suggestion of religating the button half of the entries from the next few polls, just to get some more new blood on here? Or maybe anything that gets less than 10%, since it is a choose all? I, for one, voted for James Bond, but clearly it's not going to make it any time soon.
Paul Verhoeven for director's poll would be a "fun" month.
Happy b-day, Ashleigh, and many happy returns of the day! Actor's to consider: Geoffrey Rush, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ed Harris, Margo Martindale, Olivia Coleman, or imelda Staunton. I'm rather fond of actors who actually *act*, who transform themselves from role to role -- I love watching end credits in a movie and realizing a major character was played by someone I should have recognized, but didn't!
Happy Birthday!!!!
Ash Happy Birthday Sorry was at work during stream but i put director or actor as my votes cause at least for half the month i think it would be cool if you Reacted to Rian Johnsons Knives Out Sequals!! You watched the First one (Knives out) But now there is Glass Onion and Dead man tells no Secrets. So my Vote is Either Rian Johnson or Daniel Craig To Finish Out the Knives out Trilogy.
Happy birthday and Charlie's Angels
Adam Sandler for actor - Billy Madison, Waterboy, etc
I know you get sent many films from patrons, perhaps you could consider a "clean out the library" poll, where you work your way through the random dvds that are stacking up?
Some actors I think we should consider: Amy Adams Sam Rockwell Julia Roberts Frances McDormand Mark Ruffalo Rachel McAdams
Those are all perfect suggestions.
Edward Norton on Actor
Barbra Streisand for Actor
Good pick, she has a lot of noteworthy movies = Funny Girl, The Mirror Has Two Faces, Prince of Tides, On a Clear Day...
Let’s a an actress this time, because girl power! Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, or Sandra Bullock for some options.
Emma Stone would open up a bunch of crazy movies.
For actor, I would choose either Nick Cage or Sean Connery for one reason. THE ROCK! Ashleigh would lose her mind over that movie.
The combined vote for Directors and Actors is currently 34% Directors who also Act in their movies: Clint Eastwood Orson Welles Warren Beatty Mel Gibson Albert Brooks Mel Brooks Charlie Chaplin Kevin Costner
You could throw in Alfred Hitchcock, who always inserts himself in a comic cameo.
If the director's poll wins, PLEASE put Knoxville native Quentin Tarantino on the list.
If director poll wins we gotta have John Carpenter on the poll as well as M. Night Shyamalan, Joe Dante, Denis Villeneuve, and Robert Zemekis, but for sure John Carpenter. :)
I think an In The Mouth Of Madness reaction from Ashleigh would be the height of comedy on the channel. (She's already watched 6 Zemeckis movies at least = Forrest Gump, Death Becomes Her, Roger Rabbit, and the Back to the Future trilogy; what's left?)
you can not put dye herd along with Leathal Weapon,
Hasn't she watched almost all of those movies? 4 Lethal Weapons and at least 3 Die Hards.
If anyone wants to see Lily Tomlin as a suggested actress, 1977’s “The Late Show” is a must.
I love her! Ashleigh needs to see Big Business!!!
While I do think the first Pink Panther is required viewing, Ashleigh should get notice beforehand that it’s worth sticking to the series past it, as the first one’s so different and isn’t as good an introduction to Clouseau as “A Shot in the Dark”. Also, Rush Hour should be a future Franchise Fridays. 😁
I love "A Shot in the Dark".
If the Actor Poll wins... I'm DYING for Julia Roberts. Sleeping with the Enemy, Notting Hill, I'd say The Player but she's only in that for 2 minutes.
Happy birthday!! I hope it’s incredible! If actor poll wins, consider Steve Martin because I know how much you love him and so we can try to get the Father of the Bride movies on here 😊
And Dirty Rotten Scoundrels!!
no MCU?
For the love of all that is holy...
Please movie "Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)" watch!
I liked that one, too.
More Christopher Guest movies!
My votes went to the Pink Panther and Thin Man series...too bad they're sharing last place right now.
After last Actors Poll....God help us.
😂😂
If actor poll wins.. I will advocate for Alan Rickman and Sandra Bullock. Both have amazing filmographies! You've seen Alan in quite a few things.. Harry Potter, Dogma, Die Hard, Galaxy Quest.. but there are still more!! And you haven't delved much into Sandra Bullock's movies!! SO many to choose from!! - The Net, Love Potion No 9, 28 Days, 2 Weeks Notice, The Proposal. She has an amazing mix!
Also, Gene Kelly Fred Astaire Danny Kaye Bing Crosby Bob Hope
Yes to Danny Kaye, especially in Hans Christian Andersen (1952) and The Five Pennys (1959).
Hopefully, a director poll will get her to finish the Tarantino movies.
I would suggest actors that Ashleigh likes(future ex husbands)!!! James Stewart Humphrey Bogart Cary Grant Gregory Peck John Candy Dan Aykroyd Paul Newman Robert Redford Michael Caine Steve Martin Tom Hanks William Powell Rex Harrison
Do you know what I kinda wish? 1 actor per week, 1 movie per actor. So we could get Only the Lonely for John Candy (hopefully), Sleuth or Alfie (?) for Michael Caine, Maltese Falcon for Bogart, etc etc.
I voted for Lethal Weapon and Die Hard just to get two franchises done (and make room for the Bourne series on future polls)
As I like to point out, the next Bond month will give Ashleigh three different actors...
Well this poll is a hard one, because all of the options are pretty excellent. I think the Pink Panther movies are getting undeservedly short shrift here, because they're excellent and you would seriously enjoy them.
Gene Wilder: Start the Revolution without Me... type of humor Ashleigh would appreciate.
Ashleigh you and hubbins would enjoy on youtube: You're Dependable from Lullaby of Broadway (1951)
Robin Williams: Bicentennial Man, Awakenings, Fischer King. Amazing acting range.
Also Patch Adams, World According to Garp, What Dreams May Come, One Hour Photo, and Insomnia. I love his more serious work.
Charlie Brown/Peanuts, girl!
Would love to see Robin Williams for a Friday run. There are so many options and genres and he was just amazing
Still rooting for some time down the road great TV series: 1960s Twilight Zone, uniquely sci-fi quirky Farscape, and Once Upon a Time...Ashleigh would get a big kick out of the character plot twists...Peter Pan, Snow White, Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin...and so many others.
Farscape would be great but I’m crossing my fingers for Supernatural. Just the first five seasons. I’m thinking she’d love that too.
If/When an actors poll comes up, can we give both Robin Williams and Gene Wilder a shot on it? Thanks and Happiest of Birthdays to ya.
I'm hoping for The Thin Man, come on Mystery Movie May!
Seconded!
Ugh you would love Charlie’s Angels with Drew Barrymore
Ah yes the film where she not only disguises herself as a black man, but also disguised herself in Brownback as an Indian.
Old school actor poll: Gregory Peck, Spenser Tracy, Paul Newman, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Charlie Caplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd...last three are of course silent era big stars. Fun to watch Ashleigh's reaction to movies from over a 100 years ago.
Pink Panther? Original franchise or 2000’s franchise or combined? The entire franchise is like a dozen films.
Original, more recent was a big stinko!
Haven’t seen crocodile Dundee in quite a while, hope that wins, I loved them growing up
CHARLIES ANGELS and HAPPY BIRTHDAY
If the Actor poll wins I would like to suggest Denzel Washington. He has so many great movies: Crimson Tide Fallen Inside Man Unstoppable Deja Vu And The Equalizer, all 3 of them.
Crocodile Dundee doesn’t have too many movies so it’s perfect for a month. But for the actor poll: Alan Rickman. I will continue to ask for Alan Rickman until we got more of his movies on this channel. LOL.
“Always”
Once again I'm going to die on the James Bond hill so I can get Ashleigh to Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. ❤️🔥
Given the options, I went for James Bond and Lethal Weapon/Die Hard.
Happy birthday!!
