MOVIE MADNESS SELECTION MONDAY LIVE TONIGHT!
OK I am actually super excited about this!
After crowdsourcing on here (THANK YOU) this is the idea-TONIGHT I will be going LIVE on YT and we will make our movie bracket. Each of the actual NCAA teams in the tournament will be assigned a movie. The conferences will be genres and the top 25 requested of that genre on Planner's app will be put in 4 different buckets. Whoever wins the actual game, that movie will move on! I'll watch the winner! Does that make sense?
We'll be updating the bracket with each teams movie LIVE and its going to be so fun and pure madness ;)

They should do this again next year, with one BIG change. Instead of picking from the top movies, use a random number generator to pick the choices from the ENTIRE popcorn requests list (redo for series, of course). it would be hilarious if a movie that had only one recommendation won the whole thing. I know this will never happen , but this the only way to make it truly random.
Hey which movies did you request so I can request them too?
McNeese? I am led to recommend Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1995). If I may say so, it is most definitely the bee's knees.
did this thing start and im not seeing it?
What team is representing "What's Up Doc?"?
Has Cassie said she will watch only the national champion, or the winner of each region/genre? Regional winners (I.e. final four teams) would give a lot more teams a realistic chance to be watched!
🤔
She said she's running late on her Insta
Ok movie trivia while we wait.. What movie is this line from? " Life is pain your highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something, :
I do not think it means what you think it means.
She went on IG stories and said she was running late.
did the time change mess us up
I dont think she puts her clock ahead in Canada my peeps.. so technically its still 640 where she lives
Hopefully animation is a genre . Only way 'Your Name' has a chance on this channel
Can’t find it!
Click bait. Lol.
where is it
Suggestion: Do a live with Carly for the national championship game. We could watch along as y’all talk alternately about the game, future plans for the channel, chat with viewers, etc.
Hey, I have to ask, is your username a nod to the 1937 Three Stooges short "Goofs and Saddles" where, the stooges are spies for the US Cavalry names; "Buffalo Bilious", "Wild Bill Hiccup" and "Just Plain Bill"?
How would the genres work if some movies have overlapping ones (like action adventure, horror suspense, etc.)?
Just speaking as how the web app works, you can filter by Genre (in the Filters tab), which just takes if *any* of the genres are tagged to the movie (according to IMDb). IMDb typically only has 3 or so genres tagged to a movie. It is *possible* to just take the top Genre, but it takes more work to do (the web app doesn't do it by simply typing in the genre somewhere). I'm curious as to whether movies will be allowed to be in multiple buckets, as `Comedy` and `Romance` may have a bit of overlap 😀 As will `action` and `adventure` as you point out.
Hope to be up to see it! Great fun!
I love this! Brings a whole new dimension to the games this year. Brilliant!
I’ll be asleep when this is going on, so I’ll wait till morning (UK) to see what made it
It makes perfect sense to me but then I'm a bracket nerd.
The sad thing is that these college teams will forever be referred to as the movie they represent. The North Carolina Starship Troopers are going to win it all!
I mean what is a Tar Heel anyways :D
As a fan of march madness I like this as it will add another exciting element to watching the games
I'm confused as usual. Will we see what movies are up against each other and what basketball teams they are tied to?
I think that's a given. Not much fun otherwise.
I like it. At least the (somewhat) less popular movies have a chance this way. But what are the genres? Is horror one of them? I hope so, just for the sake of true randomness. Otherwise there might be accusations of anti-horror bias (by me, if no one else) jk.
I’d bet on no, lol
Very neat idea, will allow many non poll winners a chance to get on the channel. Would like to again suggest one of those. "8 Seconds" True life story about Lane Frost youngest world champ bullrider. You guys will absolutely love it. It's a drama, western, comedy, romance mixed together by John Avildsen who directed Rocky and Karate kid. This movie is right in u ladies sweet spot. Thanks for your time and effort
I'm not into basketball at all but I like this idea. I'm hoping a lower seeded gem wins.
I love this idea
I assuming you're doing the men's tournament then?? As Tim Legler says "she can make extremely important moments look really easy" There is only player I want to watch. https://youtu.be/mMxG648_09c?si=Ko7TdlDjz5SQZJvd
Hi Cassie, what are the genres being used? I am searching the movie request tool.
While I have no idea what I just read... it's all about UNC and Kentucky this year!! Let's go Tar Heels!! Uconn could steal the show though.. It's ok, I'm sure it'll make sense once I watch y'all live.. I'm a visual learner😁
I would love to participate, it sounds fun, but its around 3 am here. I hope you all have fun. 😊
Mind blowing! It's Madness! It's March!!!!
Sounds fun!
Fun! Looking forward to this!
So, is this the closest Basketball will come to being on the channel? As opposed to, idk, maybe watch a movie about Basketball? At this point we're getting every other sport in existence before it.
Shehab, just for the sake of full disclosure, will you list all the Basketball films you'd like Cassie to watch, while eliminating those she has already seen? Putting a more positive spin in your requests are sure to get you more support from the community & our hostess. Otherwise, you're just a constant burr under our collective saddle.
Cool idea! Let the madness begin!
watching good movies picked with a 16 seed will be quite humorous
So, actual audience input isn't taken into account? If some basketball team wins, the movie associated with that team advances? With all due respect, some of us don't give a damn about the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Or Basketball in general. Dumbest idea I've heard of.
You forgot the respect part.
The hard part for Ben will be that we will all need a complete graphic of the brackets we can all reference daily.
That’s a great idea. Ben and the mods are an incredibly savvy team. I’m sure it is not beyond their capability.
This could actually be madness. I sure hope that Ben got a good night's sleep. Should be fun. Thanks Guys
MST = Mountain Standard Time? Not Mountain Daylight Time? I’m pretty sure I know what you mean, but it doesn’t hurt to clear up potential confusion.
We are watching whoever gets Purdue 😉
Alright alright alright! (Guess who) 😂
I think each year I ask the same thing, what’s a nccaa conference thingy?
Its a 64 team tournament starting this week of men's college basketball. It's called March madness, its divided into 4 16 team conferences called north, south, east and west. They play until it narrows down to 32 teams, then 16 (often called sweet sixteen), then 8 (elite eight), four (the final 4) and then the last 2 teams play in the national championship game
Wow this is going to be fun!
Excellent!!!
Have fun everyone! I'm having Lasik surgery today so wont be able to see much for a while.
I take all the credit for the idea :P J/K group effort. This should be a fun way to pick a movie (or top 4?)
It was a great idea! We ran with it! So much fun putting it together 🤩
This is Madness. One. Step. Beyond.
The Women's tournament right? Because who cares about the men's tournament? The most exciting player is in the women's tournament. I will be watching the women's tournament for the second year in a row. Not the mens
And my South Carolina Gamecock women are taking it all this year😎
Sounds great!
I somehow already feel like my team will not just lise, but also get a lousy movie. Lol😭
gotta hope for those Cinderella teams
I love this whole idea. It makes it more than choosing from a list. It ads an element of chance that's fun. Also, the NCAA should give some type of kickback for the increase in viewership of their games.
What a cool idea!!
Are we picking movies tonight or we're making the brackets with the movies already voted on/prechosen?
Hey Devon, the '25' movies in each 'conference' were pulled from the top 64 most requested films on the request site (see pinned FAQ) and Cassie will draw 16 from those 25, adding them to the bracket, lots of build in randomness! Gives the lower requested films a fighting chance!
Great idea Ben... Hahaha
So fun!
This is actually a brilliant idea, Cassie. Excellent work.
Wow…excellent idea! This will get more people who don’t typically watch the NCAA tournament rooting for specific teams and getting hyped up about specific match ups. Can’t wait for this!
This idea is genius. Good job.
This is madness! No, I like it. Just give me about a 30 min head up, if able.
This is such a fun idea and will give fans a team to root for
Sounds like a great idea.
