FRANCHISE FRIDAYS IN JULY
I don't know how but honestly - the jumanji franchise was BANGER after BANGER for me.
The Next Level felt the weakest - TO ME. but it was still very sweet.
I know this feels REALLY early for next months Franchise Friday - but we have our second leg of our Route 66 trip coming up so I just gotta make sure we're filmed ahead and such.
These are all groups that have done well previously OR have been highly mentioned/requested/and sent to me :)
LIVE PREMIERE GOING ON THE SECOND CHANNEL THIS EVENING: the long awaited UPDATE on the empty building!
also also if you didn't see on social media - Beans has pancreatitis. She just wasn't acting like herself: stand offish, not eating, and started hiding and howling. I took her Ito vet on Thursday and the pancreas enzymes are SUPPOSED to be 4.5... she came back at 11.7.
The vet said I was very lucky to have caught it when I did. We've been giving her medicines and the vet isn't sure what caused it. She said it could be stress (girl.. wtf this cat have to be stressed about??) or the food she is eating has a protein that her body doesn't like.
So - I'm calling the vet with updates on her eating, drinking, and bathroom patterns in hopes that this anti-inflammatory and pain pill will fix it. If it doesn't, she will have to be hospitalized until we can get a clear answer on what's causing it.... and no one wants that. I'm just a stressed little cat mom over here.

Absolutely The Matrix!
Poor Beans! Pancreatitis is rough! Vet Tech of 27y if you have any questions or concerns. 🐈🫂 Besides that, there are toooo many great choices here, I hope you get to them all! Bourne, Bond, Dundee, Matrix, Night at the Museum! How to choose?! 😁
If you are still looking for something to watch, Kinky Boots is really good.
I’ve been anxiously awaiting you to watch the Night at the Museum series and the Bourne series for years. I really wish others would vote more for those instead of the LW and DH films which are good but I would like to see more variety than those again. Also, I am sending Beans all the well wishes and healing vibes. She’s strong kitty and I am pulling for her and sending you lots of virtual hugs 🤗. I lost my 11 year old kitty Lucy January 2025 and I miss her every day. 🫶🏾🫶🏾🩵🩵
Sending LOVE to you, Hubben and The pets Especially BEANS <3
The Pink Panther would be a good franchise to add to this poll.
Scary when our fur babies aren’t well. My Amy kitty is 14yo and has started limping on the regular. She already has arthritis (white cat can’t jump) and now one of her elbows is slightly swollen which is attributed to advancing arthritis, so now she’s getting special cat food (already on solensia and cosequin). Meanwhile about 2 months ago my tuxedo girl Shuri was noticeably uncomfortable and in pain, a trip to the emergency vet ensued, only to find out she was clinically full of shit. Meds for pain and to poop plus fiber rich kitty food and she’s back to only being metaphorically full of it. Not fun but glad to have and a treatment plan. May your Beans improve quickly.
I am so sorry to hear about Beans! A sick fur baby can be so scary; I'm glad you caught her clues.
Sending good vibes to Baby Beans! Please keep us updated!
Damn, sorry about BEANS. Vet bills get expensive! Can't believe Avatar is polling in last place, it is amazing. Biggest money-making moving in history for a reason, beating Titanic (also James Cameron), Avengers Endgame and Star Wars. And its sequel is #3. Movie Title Year Global Box Office Gross 1 Avatar 2009 $2.923 Billion 2 Avengers: Endgame 2019 $2.799 Billion 3 Avatar: The Way of Water. 2022. $2.334 Billion 4 Titanic 1997 $2.264 Billion
I hope Beans will be okay! Sending happy thoughts!
Where are all the Bondfans at? It's been almost a year since Octopussy, thought this one was up for grabs! Bondfans unite! Or are we all playing the new game that came out ;)
Mission Impossible & Jason Bourne with no hesitation!
I am so sorry to hear that Beans is unwell. I'm sending get well vibes and will keep you in my thoughts.
Sending love to you & Beans! Prayers for a Speedy recovery!
Prays for Beans...I'm sure she'll be okay and healthy in no time. Being a cat mom is never easy.
I'm so sorry that Beans is I'll. I'm sure between the vet's advice and your ministrations she'll be back on top in no time.
I'm sorry to hear about Beans. I hope Beans gets well soon.
Hi Ashleigh, I`m sorry to hear that Beans is poorly, I hope she gets well soon !!
I would suggest breaking the James Bond series into groups by lead actor (Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, George Lazenby + Timothy Dalton, Daniel Craig). The style of the films shift with each lead actor, so while it's technically one franchise, they feel like different ones based on the lead.
Uhm well.... she's already done all the Connery's and Lazenby, and there is only 1 Moore left.... so... there are more or less 3 batches left any way you do it: final Moore, 2x Dalton is one. 4x Brosnan is another, and 5x Craig is the last one. Or if it have to be batches of 4 movies: 1x Moore, 2x Dalton, 1x Brosnan / 3x Brosnan 1x Craig / 4x Craig. Either way the last three actors get more or less their own batch. But I think I'm getting ahead of myself considering Bond probably won't win this time
Send my best and happiest vibes to Beans! Fingers crossed for Pink Panther and Rush Hour to make the next FF poll.
Also, Ashleigh was asking for movie suggestions that would make her big cry. I wonder if that is still happening.
I think she got her Big Cry with Perks of a Wallflower.
I am so very sorry to hear about Beans, Ashleigh! One of my kitties has been sick with gut issues, as well. She’s had a couple of ultrasounds and is on medication. So I definitely understand your pain over your precious baby! My thoughts and prayers are with her, you and everyone! 🧡🙏🏻
I hope Beans gets better fast. ❤️🩹 A sick pet is very stressful.
No Erotic Thriller poll.... Oh well. I'm still going to die on the James Bond hill. We MUST complete the rest. They just get better and better.
Can you put Karate kid + Cobra Kai on the next franchise fridays poll
The Connery Bonds are fun. The others are not my cup of tea, or my vodka martini shaken not stirred.
Aww, sending pawsitive vibes to Beans! Would love to see Crocodile Dundee win one of these days.
I almost feel we’re in a different demographic for that one to gain traction. Although one recent reaction was to a “correct “ edit and that was a downer.
I hope Beans gets better soon and everything turns out okay!! I'd love to see reactions to the Bourne movies! That's my favorite series amongst this group.
Poor Beans - I hope she feels better soon.
I am keeping Beans in my prayers. My cats Id-Bastet and Kismet send their well wishes too!
Really sorry to hear about Beans, but she's a cat, she's your cat and holy smoke she's gonna get through this. Huge hugz from across the pond to both of you.
Charlie Brown/Peanuts!
If Lethal Weapon/Die Hard wins; I believe there is only one LW left and two DH left, so to finish off the month I hope Ashleigh also watches "Loaded Weapon". It is a spoof of Lethal Weapon!
And there’s a cameo in it she’ll greatly appreciate 😉
Sending all the well wishes possible to Beans. Don’t want anything happening to her.
The first Night at the Museum is pretty good, but severely diminishing returns on the sequels, imo
Absolutely agree!
Get well soon, kitty cat. I'm voting for Bond and Dundee-- I think you'll like Crocodile Dundee a lot, and I'm excited for you to get to 2 of my personal favorite Bond films -- even if getting there requires slogging through 2 of the Worst Bond films in the process.
You should do the rest of the Rocky movies
Poor Beans - sending love from me and Chewbacca the cat, who's just got over pancreatitis not one week ago 😻
Get well soon, Beans! 🩵🩵🩵
Aww poor Beans... I hope she gets better real soon. Hugs!
I hope beans gets better. It’s so hard when a pet is sick.
You need to put James Bond on a poll with no competition so it wins!
Oh no! Poor Beans. You're doing the right thing by bringing her to the vet. My cat went through the same thing recently so i know how stressful it can be. Sending positive and healing vibes your way!!
Hope beans feels better soon! For my pick, definitely the mission: impossible series. It's gonna take two months with how many movies there are.
Oh noooo.. poor Beans!! I know how you feel. When our girl got sick last year I was a MESS. Lots of love and hugs to you, hubbins and Beans. Lots of pets and extra loves (if she'll let you). Hopefully she gets better soon!
Night at the Museum, you will NOT regret it! Also BEANS NOOO I hope for a speedy recovery!
Gah, poor beans! Hope she feels better soon!
If and when you do the Matrix, please do the Animatrix. It's a series of animated shorts that adds to the series. One of the shorts, The Final Flight of the Osiris, leads directly into the 2nd movie.
Kid's Story from the Animatrix also relates to the second movie.
Hoping beans is well!
My little dog has pancreatitis. Watching them in such distress is brutal. Unfortunately, he has the constitution of a sickly Victorian child and his pancreatitis is now chronic. We have to be sooo careful about what he eats. Sending all my love and good vibes to Beans!!!
Sending healing vibes to Beans!!
Im sorry about Beans. I hope you all get good news very soon!
