Upcoming....
written yesterday:
Happy Eclipse Day, I am happy the world is still standing as far as I know :) Hope you all had a great weekend, it was the last few days of our spring break so we met Ben's family in Moab Utah for a couple days. It wasn't as warm as I was hoping but I got to play Dune and Jurassic Park (check my instagram)! The kids loved the hiking, and I loved the family time. Back to the grind today!
MARCH MOVIE MADNESS FINAL TONIGHT! UConn//Mr. Hollands Opus VS Purdue//Apocalypse now, from what I hear, could not be more different. Ps though-I have a secret: I'm going to watch all the final 4! Woohoo! The winner will be up FIRST though! I was also thinking about putting all the losing teams/movies in a draw and picking a wild card winner too? thoughts?
I just posted our final ST TNG Season 3 Poll so make sure to vote vote vote!
I'm very excited about our lineup this week, giddy even! Not just because of Kevin Costner either, I just think all of these will be popcorn popping fun! Who are we cheering for in the Masters? Is Mike Weir still around, he is Canadian! How about the guy with the awesome pants?
I apologize about missing a EXTRA BUTTER BABES LIVE last month, my dumb neck really put a KINK in my plans. We will have a GREAT one this month, prom prom. Probably 4/29!
Ok hope you all are warm and find something to be delighted about today!

Cassie
PS-Writing today 4/9 YAY FOR UCONN (even though I wanted an underdog to win) I am excited to meet this Mr. H you all seem to love ;)

I wonder if Cassie will be watching any of the StarGate SG1 episodes?
But as a lovely rabbit hole after STTNG... Boo yah!
Which version of Stargate 1994 are we watching? There is the Theatrical at 2hrs 01 minutes, the Extended at 2hrs 10 minutes and the Directors Cut at 2hrs 13 minutes.
I new to Patreon but I've watched alot of your videos. I wanna suggest some movies but I don't know how this works. Like how do you decide which movies to vote on or where I can go to vote on a poll that's already live? So I thought I'd ask before I started just flirting out random movies. Lol
Nevermind, I just saw the FAQ post.
yes! Stargate! I think you'll like that one
Yeah let the big dog eat
Btw, Stargate is to Reservoir Dogs as Independence Day is to Pulp Fiction
Looking forward to this strong slate of films. And it’s kinda crazy that I’m just now noticing that the same director is responsible for Bull Durham, WMCJ and Tin Cup…that’s hall-of-fame stats for sports movies.
"Tin Cup" is definitely a Carly Movie! I'm extremely excited for this lineup knowing "Mr. Holland's Opus" is around the corner. WAIT! is that "Steel Magnolias"? And you didn't invite Carly for "Young Guns"?
I personally didn’t go to the totality path to see the eclipse, but some of my friends in my astronomy group did, and took some really good pictures of it.
TIN CUP! Woo! I love that movie.
ALL great movies :)
Yay! I've been rooting for Tin Cup for almost three years now. :D
YES On the Wild Card Pick
Holland's Opus VS Apocalypse Now reminds me of the John Mulaney joke about ordering fries or a salad- the two most different foods in the universe.
Funny thing, I still haven't seen either of those films, gotta save some of the greats for when I get old, but just from the short clips I have seen I know your comparisons are spot on.
Now that March Madness is done, we should do it again for the Kentucky Derby, except this time with ALL 6000+ movies that have one or more votes on Popcorn requests, using a random number generator to pair numbers with horses. After all, if you're going gamble there should be a chance you'll lose ;-)
Minus the Kentucky Derby… She should do a random film from the request list at least once a month. Maybe raise the number of requests a movie must have to be eligible to a minimum of closer to 5? Just so to eliminate any weird or crazy film that only One person likes. (Trash Humpers 2009, comes to mind for instance, but hey I could be wrong). This could be a Monthly Lottery Pick.
I flew my Learjet up to Nova Scotia.
I flew my modified SR-71 Blackbird to Alkali Lake.
Can't wait for Deadpool. the only thing better would be Deadpool AND a Classic Horror poll!
she has already seen the Deadpool movies off channel.
Cassie, when you have a moment, would you let us know what the run time / edition of Stargate that you are watching is?
i was pulling for Mr. hollands opus . mike weir is play on the PGA Champions tour which I think is basically the senior tour he's soon to be 54 just like me 😁 I think you mean Ricky Fowler with the bright orange , green and many other pants
I can't believe it!! I picked the winner for March Madness (as an Australian non-basketball fan I'd never heard of the competition or any of the teams) by going for the team with a cute dog in their logo. Cute dogs for the win!
What a bunch of fantastic news! Mutants, movies, and more! Four more! I have to admit the Final Four movie I am most excited about is Smokey and the Bandit! What a fun movie! What will Cassie make of Jackie Gleason! Can't wait! Stargate at last! It's been a wait! Krusty, where are you?? Don't you know this one is for you? X-Men will be a controversial journey, with lots of advice from patrons along the way, I am sure. I'll just enjoy the ride!! The eclipse? I forgot about it! But I was far far away from totality. But back in the day, in the previous century, when we had an eclipse when I was a kid, they taught us to poke a hole in a piece of paper or some such and look at shadows. No one was looking up at the sun, I assure you! They told us not to do that! Nobody was boiling their eyes out!!!! Congrats to the UConn Huskies for winning the championship. Here in Wolfpack land we are very proud of our NC State team, we won't forget this year for a long, long time!
As it relates to Uconn winning the NCAA on the men's side, we here in Hawkeye land know exactly how you feel.
All final four
Hey Snowman, you got them ears on? Talk to me, m'boy! Cassie’s gonna watch Smokey and the Bandit. Well, Son!!
I can’t wait to watch Mr Holland’s Opus with Cassie and I hope Carly. I haven’t seen it in years.
I’m now trying to imagine a mashup of Mr. Holland’s Opus and Apocalypse Now. Maybe instead of a war between the U.S. and Vietnam it would have been a particularly intense youth orchestra competition…
You will like both Mr. Holland Opus and Smokey and the Bandit. They are very different movies, but they are good for human condition. 🙂
Hope we still get Memphis Belle in next few weeks as she said she'd watch it after masters of the air during one of the lives
planning on it next week
Now that you're watching Mr. Holland's opus, you need to get Carlie too .. It's that kind of movie.😁
Awww. Now that this is over, I no longer get to walk around yelling "It's madness! *Madness*, I tell you!" :-( (Though people around do seem somewhat relieved.)
Trust me, Cassie. You, too will love Mr. Holland!
I'm all for whatever has to be done to get "Rounders" an opportunity to get in through the back door. But I am excited about this week. These are 3 great movies landing in the same batch.
Yeah, I agree would love to get Rounders on here somehow.
Great lineup. Saw Steel Magnolias already. I fear y’all were disappointed. ? Hope not. DRAGONFLY-Kevin Costner -Awesome movie/ supernatural thriller. Hope you get to it!! And I haven’t seen THE BOOK OF ELI-Denzel Washington-a must to watch!!
Hi Cassie, glad to hear you are reacting to all the Final Four movies. Maybe have a poll for the losing Sweet 16 teams and let patrons select 2 movies to get reactions. Maybe you have a few PPOTMs also. Cheers!
I love Mr. Holland’s Opus, but more than anything I am just so excited to see Cassie’s response; it feels made for her.
my pick didn’t win, but I liked the suspense of movie madness.
I was pulling for Thomas Crowne Affair, personally. I wouldn't say it's the best movie out of the bunch, but I think it's both very entertaining and one that Cassie would like.
That lineup of movies this week is pure entertainment, I don't think you (nor Carly) will be disappointed this week at all!
Following a quick glance at the top graphic, I will delude myself into thinking we will be going straight from X-Men to Apocalypse.
I hope Tin Cup is with Carly. I hope Apocalypse Now is without Carly. Apocalypse Now will be a tough one for you to watch. No one to root for, but it is a magnificent achievement in film making. The cinematography, and the writing are excellent.
No one to root for? I’ll respectively disagree with that.
I'm not a college basketball fan at all but there was only 1 team and 1 movie I was rooting for. And it won, Mr Holland''s Opus is amazing. I love it and hope you do too. Another great Richard Dreyfus movie, from when he was younger, is The Goodbye Girl with Marsha Mason. Excellent writing in that one.
I also meant to add that I hope you consider watching Frequency too. Admittedly, I will say it can drag some in the middle, but overall it is one of my favorite movies. Also I believe Panic Room was on the list too and I think that is such a fun, tense movie. Lastly, a movie I think is one the Most Romantic of all time is a black and white movie, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir with Gene Tierney, and Rex Harrison. Love that one. Just suggestions. Love your channel and you and Carlie (sp? Sorry). If you ever want more black and white movie suggestions let me know, they are my favorites
Cass money, if your bored, keep an eye on Jordan Spieth, Hideki Matsuyama, Joaquin Niemann, Tony Finau and Jason Day. I have a rather large bet on all 5 Golfers. So "put your change in your left pocket, tie your shoe in a double knot, turn your hat backwards and put your tee in your left ear", because the sweat is on.
Tin Cup … Finally.
Moab is so beautiful. I did some hiking in Arches National Park many years ago during a cross-country trip and the landscape blew my mind! Hope to go back there someday.
Don't forget Memphis Belle which I think you said you would watch on the last live show after finishing Masters of the Air.
"I was also thinking about putting all the losing teams/movies in a draw and picking a wild card winner too? thoughts?" My priority would be to watch the 1953 version of War of the Worlds. Might be the best/only chance you have of watching that movie.
Both awesome movies, yes VERY DIFFERENT! 😂 Glad you are going to do both!
Great lineup. I hope you will consider watching Mr. Holland's Opus with Carly, as it is about a teacher.
Huh? I though it was about a Dutch penguin!
Awesome pants? Payne Stewart? He passed in ‘99 . Ricky Fowler? Or John Daly perhaps?
Yes to a lovers poll. Any chance for you to chose FREQUENCY and I am in. Plus all the lovers were good picks so can't go wrong.
The big question, Cassie...will you be watching the X-Men movies from the point of historical chronology? Or by their release date. I don't to be the one to add spoilers, so I'll leave at, what I am asking is relevant. And included in the list of X-men movies are the two Deadpool. You've changed your movie going tastes a lot over the years. I don't feel the Dead Pool movies would be your type of humor...but its part of the X-men lore. And Dead Pool 3 will be coming out as well. Have you read any X-men comics? Watched any X-men cartoons? I am not sure if you can get the full flavor without any context.
It's always theatrical. Which is fine by me. She wants to experience the viewing order exactly how everyone else did, so she says.
Nice. Here comes War of the Worlds
I remember the last total eclipse all the way back in 1999, 25 years ago! I guess we will all have to wait another 25 years for the next total eclipse!
From southwestern Ontario so had clear skies and a good view but never actually watched it.🙂I do remember the one in 79 watched it a school in the Gym on a Black & White TV.There are some amazing videos of this one though.🇨🇦
If only Krusty were here.
P.S. - based on this quote, "How about the guy with the awesome pants?" you will love the pants Kevin Costner wears in the latter half of the movie. They're like perfect...movie pants. (really)
Solid week! 💪 And all 4 winners to be watched is awesome!
Apocalypse Now is an all time classic. Watch the theatrical cut; the Redux and Final Cuts are overly long and don't add much.
Seconded on the definitive cut to watch. Theatrical release. Redux is self-indulgent and 40 mins too long. Final Cut is similar.
Hi Cassie! So excited for you to watch Mr Holland’s Opus! I don’t think I’ve kept it a secret on this channel that this is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I’m hoping you love it as much as I do. And I’m really hoping Carly can watch it with you since its about a teacher. I love the fact that you’ll be watching the Final Four movies! This was such a good idea, and I’m hoping you will do something similar for another championship series (hint, hint…the MLB post season). And I also think doing a poll for the non-winners is also a great idea, as there were so many great movies that didn’t make the Final Four. Another great line up of movies coming up! I know you’re personally excited to see KC in Tin Cup. I’m not a golf fan, but I really liked this movie. I thought he and Renee Russo had great on-screen chemistry. And I’m really excited for you to start your X-Men journey. I know the MCU is a crowded mess right now, but viewed as a separate entity from the rest of the MCU, this is a really good popcorn series. Not sure how much of the eclipse you were able to see. Here on Long Island we got about 80% coverage. Not as visually exciting as I was hoping for, but still an event worth remembering.
I snuck ahead of you in the bracket challenge, I had assumed you chose Perdue to the final, so thought you had a chance to win.
I'm starting to sound like a broken record here but... Kevin Costner in DRAFT DAY for the upcoming NFL draft please. You will like it, Prom Prom.
He's not wrong here.
HOLY SMOKES, CASSIE — this may be my favorite week of watches in at least...well, several weeks! 😁😁😁😁 Thank you and God bless!
For the "losers bracket", if it were me, I would pull the most upsettiest of upsets and watch Indictment: The McMartin Trial (1995), the dark horse no one on the planet has ever picked to win a poll.
One does have to admire perseverance
A golfer with crazy pants makes me think of Payne Stewart, but he died in the 90s, so I'm guessing that's not who you meant.
Cassie: Re watching all four of the final four movies, I would like to quote Sherrif Buford T Justice from Smokey and the Bandit and say to you, "Thank ya nice lady!"
Stargate! Can't wait!
How can you be watching X-men!? You HAVE to start with watching all 76 episodes of the animated series or you are going to be totally lost when you see that one thing. Hopefully people see the ridiculousness of that and the very thinly veiled parallel.
🤦
In keeping with Eclipse Day, I moon X-Men.
Yes please do all 4. I am really looking forward to both Stargate and the X-Men franchise. If you love Kevin Costner then check out Yellowstone, it's a brilliant modern western show.
This is an amazing lineup! Plus Mr. Holland's Opus and War Of The Worlds! I recommend Carly with you for Mr. Holland's Opus. The only Carly movie that I saw in the final 4. We spent yesterday hanging out and watching the Eclipse from our deck. Everything coming up looks amazing and I'm so glad you're back on your feet.
Our day has finally come! FINALLY…Mr. Holland’s Opus! Good things come to those who wait. My next campaign begins with Pleasantville and Awakenings.
Great movies!
Out of the three movies listed, the one I'm looking forward to is Stargate. (Yay, another Kurt Russell movie....)
Ooh. X-men saga begins! When she gets to Logan, Cassie might break 😏
Looking forward to Deadpool myself, but Logan's going to be interesting too.
Women's tournament 18.7 million people Men's 15.0 million. Upcoming looks awesome except for Stargate. Enough said
You’re sounding like a broken record
I think it’s absurd to judge anyone by their taste in movies. We all have different likes and dislikes. That said, people that like Stargate are doo-doo heads. 💩🤪
That's an odd movie for me. I remember hating it in my youth but now I am quite a fan.
This makes me hate Purdue so much more! Rip Tears of the sun
Dad humor. I dig it. Way to go, UConn!
I could be pedantic and say Tin Cup features the US Open not the Masters, but you’ll love it anyway.
I'm so excited for X-Men! This was actually my introduction to Patrick Stewart long before I got into Star Trek, so when first saw TNG I kept thinking "Hey, that's professor X!"
Hey Cassie: I'm not on Instagram. You mentioned playing DUNE...if you meant DUNE: IMPERIUM, that's one of the current favorite board games in my group. Tons of fun.
Matt, I think Cassie was alluding to her and her kids running down the sand dunes at MOAB possibly recreating a scene from the movie, as she did from Jurassic Park with the dinosaur statues there! But knowing how much she loves board games I'm sure she'd enjoy that as well!
Tin cup is an underrated movie. Stargate is a classic. X men i could go either way. Meh.
Looking forward to this one as I have never seen this one. It looks to be a romance, judging from the cover of course. It also looks to have Kevin Costner, so two birdies that Cassie will enjoy this one.
I’ve never actually seen Tin Cup, but the other to I love
In the words of a great musician of his time, "X gon give it to ya".
3 pretty d*mn good movies 🍿🍿 Now, if we can only get "The Searchers" on her upcoming list
damn straight!
