Coming Up!
Holy crap did this week have 56 days in it for anyone else too?! I went to the youth girls camp I told you about as a volunteer/leader. There were good and great parts but it was also really hard and thankless in a lot of ways. Teenagers and puking and no sleep made for high emotions from every one and I was grateful to come home (but then immediately got very sick that night). Carly had to get her wisdom teeth removed unexpectedly on Thursday so she’s been out for the count a bit. My parents came for the weekend which has been wonderful but my dad and uncles were helping us with putting grass in our backyard so it’s been a lot of work (but so thankful for the help)
I feel like I always do this. Hope it’s not coming off as complaining, I just like to keep you updated on my life stuff! With all that said I am playing catch up. The ST S4 finale will be up ASAP (in two parts) Can we just pretend Popcorn weeks are Tuesday-Tuesday? lol
This week we are finishing off June-Toons with Batman Phantasm and The Iron Giant. Also my popcorn pick of the month with Stardust!
With the Olympics starting soon we will have an Olympics poll and maybe a Paris poll coming up? I'm so excited! Do you prefer winter or summer Olympics? I think as a Canadian I prefer winter but I love gymnastics and volleyball in summer.
IMPORTANT REMINDER trivia will be this Saturday! This one is going to be so fun! I always love our trivia nights and our past winners have picked some amazing movies for me!
I’m also hoping for a package opening AMA Live on 6/22. Date is tentative (just waiting to get kids baseball schedj)
Ok you are the rizzest and bet you are eating at everything (that’s what the youths taught me this week 🙃)
Goodnight!
2 things I like: My kids laughs, gardening with my mom
2 things I dislike : people leaving people out, crappy dull scissors

Olympic movie suggestions - "Chariots of Fire", "Cool Runnings", "Without Limits", "Miracle" and "Munich."
Any word on the TNG season 4 finale showing on YouTube? Was supposed to be this week after Secret of Nimh, which was four days ago. Usually vids every 2-3 days at max. Trouble with uploading or YouTube restrictions? Thanks!
‘Sybil’ 1976 Sally Fields. ‘Pillow Talk’ 1959.
Paris movie poll suggestions: "Ronin" (1998) "Day of the Jackal" (1973) "La Femme Nikita" (1990 original) "The Three Musketeers" (1973) & part 2 "The Four Musketeers" (1974) "Cyrano De Bergerac" (1990) "The Pink Panther" (1963) & sequel "A Shot In The Dark" (1994)
In honor of D Day you should watch "Shining Through" (1992) with Melanie Griffith and Michael Douglas. It's a light spy flick set in 1940 Germany. Even if it isn't for the channel, I think you'd enjoy it. It is available now on Max.
Google 'Land before time'!!
The greatest Olympic film to me is Tokyo Olympiad (1965). Widely acclaimed also. I think it would be the first nonfiction film on the channel? Probably not widely seen enough to end up as the pick, but it is an amazing film.
Guys, can I get a like for Cassie to react to "Enter the Dragon"? If I remember correctly it was runner-up on the martial arts poll back in November.
Cassie, you've probably thought of this, but maybe if you didn't try to do so much and spread yourself so thin, you might not get sick as often? Everyone needs some down time. :)
Some ideas for the Paris poll: - The Day of the Jackal (1973) - a hidden gem, very tense detective thriller - The Da Vinci Code - Like National Treasure, but (mainly) in Paris - Ronin - spy thriller with a great cast, famous for it's car chase in Paris - Taken - maybe as a re-watch with Carly?
what about the Pink panther movies?
Oh and Cool Runnings please "Thanks Coach"
What about From Paris With Love with Travolta in it. A good spy action movie.
The two Olympics films I would Highly recommend Cool Runnings & Eddie the Eagle Cool Runnings It is loosely based on the debut of the Jamaican national bobsleigh team at the 1988 Winter Olympics Eddie the Eagle Is about a British skier who in 1988 became the first competitor to represent Great Britain in Olympic ski jumping since 1928
Have to admit...I was thinking all week after hearing your update that I was so, so thankful to be nowhere near chaperoning a sleepaway camp. But God bless you. Sound like a great mom and solid member of your community. Props. Vent all you like. Mean Girls are terrifying. Lol. Welcome back...hope you get at least a fraction of the enjoyment from being here as we do.
Wow! You guys got quite a line up coming up in animation! I think you and Carly will like Secret of Nimh. The books were better BTW. I read them in school.
It's posted now if you haven't seen it.
For Olympic films I would recommend Race (Jesse Owens) and Cool Runnings (Jamaican bobsled).
Best moment of last Olympics was the Women's BMX Freestyle. I won't spoil it but look it up, the final runs are bonkers.
So glad you're watching Batman so I can watch a animated movie with you. Nimh just wasn't my vibe.
Does one need to be familiar with anything else to enjoy this Batman movie? Besides Nolan's films I haven't seen anything Batman since childhood.
Speaking about the Olympic movies Race which is about Jesse Owens winning in the Berlin games of 1936 plus it has Jason Sudeikis Ted Lasso star and huge Caitlin Clark fan in it. Chariots Of Fire was a great flick.
Summer Games are better. More variety, and the US typically does better in Summer vs Winter games. Although I believe the only Olympic event I could do RN is curling. :)
Paris poll: Ronin and Midnight in Paris.
Some years I get all excited about catching the Olympics and some years I just don't give a crap. This year it's leaning towards the latter but I generally prefer the Summer games.
I haven't seen The Iron Giant since I've become an adult so I'm really looking forward to both your reactions as well as seeing it again with a new prospective. I remember it being really good though with a solid ending. And I wish Carly a speedy recovery with her wisdom teeth, those things suck.
Someone mentioned that you may be watching Your Name, possibly even as a patreon exclusive. If that's the case, do you know when it would be released and if Carly will be watching? I have a feeling she would love it.
I’m a very casual Olympics watcher, but if I had to choose between the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics, I’d go with the Summer Olympics because, well…I’m just a summer person and dread the winter. As far as Olympic movies go for a possible poll, Chariots of Fire has been mentioned by almost everyone so far. But there are a couple of others that I’m familiar with which, according to popcorn requests, you haven’t seen yet: 1. Miracle, starring your Overboard hunk Kurt Russell who coaches the 1980s US Men’s Hockey team 2. I, Tonya starring Margot Robbie and Allison Janney, about the Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan rivalry 3. Personal Best, an older movie but so well done, starring Mariel Hemingway (grand daughter of Ernest) again centering around the 1980 Olympics. These would all make for great reactions in my opinion. Can’t wait to see what turns up on the poll.
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is easily the best Batman movie ever!!!!! Summer Mom is an entirely different level of Moming, thanks for keeping up the channel when you can. Hey to Carly, hope she feels better!
Were you drinking when you typed this? This feels like a Drunk Text. I hope you are ok.
What? No it doesn't? What a rude thing to say.
Oh man you should watch Stardust with Carly. Missed opportunity. The movie is so good.
Another great lineup Cassie. You are quite the busy lady. Maybe you need the cloners from Star Wars to create some Cassie clones to help you out. I'm interested to see your reaction to Iron Giant. It's old school animation with a great message. I think you will like Batman: Mask of Phantasm as well. I agree with others regarding the Olympic movies Cool Runnings and Chariots of Fire. Both are entertaining films. On a side note, I traveled to Ogden Air Force Base often for work and one weekend we went to the 2002 Olympic Village in Park City. We got to watch the US ski jumping team practice. it was a lot of fun. It is a neat day trip and I highly recommend it if you haven't already been there.
The Da Vinci Code takes place largely in Paris, but I really want you to read the book first😊
Instead of reading the book, can Cassie just watch Hudson Hawk (1991)? :-P
Frantic is an OK Paris movie imo 🙂
Thinking about it, given that Europe is like the size of the West Edmonton Mall and that all them European languages sound the same*, I have the perfect (suburb of-) Paris movie! https://tinyurl.com/5h3hj5tr :-P * Apologies to Gabor. :-)
Super pumped for Stardust!
Taken is a good possibility for a Paris film! (P.S. I tried looking up if you've already seen it but your letterboxd link in the FAQ no longer works.)
Echoing your statement about the letterboxd. "Sorry, we can’t find the page you’ve requested."
Cassie, if we're going to Paris and the Olympics, there's only one movie to consider: CHARIOTS OF FIRE. TRUE STORY (your favorite) that culminates at the 1924 PARIS OLYMPICS. Just a visual and writing feast with a highly influential soundtrack, and just a straight-up great sports movie. Bonus: It's so wholesome, you could show it to Carly and your kids(!) (though given when it was made - 1981 - it may be too slow paced for them in parts, even though it is a sports movie).
I am ashamed I didn't make the connection to Paris. Good thing we have someone above average to compensate. :-)
Please consider “Midnight In Paris” for any future Paris polls. It’s a funny, magical, romantic (Oscar winning) love story that I’m sure Cassie would adore.
Cassie has already seen that one
A great comedy to watch is The Great Race, starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemon and Natalie Wood. One of my most favorite films!
It would qualify for the Paris poll. And Max would push the button for it. 😊
Been waiting for a Stardust reaction. Can't wait.
Just went through all the comments and no one has mentioned… An American in Paris (1951) Winner of 6 Academy Awards, including… Best Picture Best Writing Best Cinematography Best Art Direction Best Costume Design Best Music Also nominated for Best Director and Best Editing. I guess I’ll recommend it. :-)
We discussed it and voted to leave it for you. :)
Anyone know Cassie's history with this Animated Batman? Has she seen any of it before?
Safe to say no I think
Iron Giant & Stardust! Noice
Stardust! Yay! One of my favorites. Very quirky but fun
Omg wisdom teeth. I was out for a week. My sister on the other hand was up and around the next morning eating ham and eggs with no problems. I hope Carly has a speedy recovery!
Hey, if you're going to do Mean Girls camp, you need to learn to channel Tina Fey!
Since you’ve seen Midnight in Paris, my only Paris film to suggest at this time is… The Razor’s Edge (1946) ( I know it ain’t winning any poll, but Since we’re going to Paris anyway, I figured now’s the time to mention it. ) Isabel “Where have you thought of going?” Larry Darrell (not me) “I thought I’d start by going to Paris. I went there several times on leave. I don’t know why, but I’ve got it in my head that there, everything that’s muddled in my mind will grow clear. It’s a funny place. It gives you the feeling that you can think out your thoughts to the very end. I think over there I may be able to see my way before me.”
A great film (And novel) highlighting "Goodness is, after all, the greatest force in the world"
"my dad and uncles were helping us with putting grass in our backyard" What a bizarre idea! I generally put it in baggies in a drawer. "Do you prefer winter or summer Olympics"? I'm not sure. What would Brian Boitano do? ... ... ... Sorry! Mi scusi! I obviously meant Brian Orser. Mea culpa.
Going through the comments, Im glad to see Cool Runnings is getting a lot of mentions. Was worried the comedy element would make it get overlooked.
Summer Olympics: Chariots for Fire, Prefontaine, Boys in the Boat (New) Winter Olympics: Miracle, Blades of Glory, Cool Runnings, I Tonya, Eddie the Eagle
The rizzest youths 😅
I barely even pay attention to the Summer Olympics. I did when I was young, and volleyball and gymnastics were definitely one’s I watched. Now that NHL’ers are back next Winter Olympics, the gap is even larger between the two for me.
The Winter Olympics have Cross Country Skiing and shooting. The Summer Olympics still has Shotput throw, Hammer throw, and Javelin tossing. Reminds me of that scene in “Braveheart” where they take turns throwing rocks. I have heard that some military units have there own athletic competitions that are a bit more Contemporary; like the "Mogadishu Mile", and the "Mike Murphy”. IDK what they are, but they sound more interesting than what we got now.
Haven’t really seen any Olympic films. The only suitable Paris film I can think of is Hugo (2011). A very underrated and unusual Scorsese film. The rest are films that I don’t think you’d enjoy at all: Last Tango In Paris, La Haine and Irreversible. So, other people will contribute to this more than me.
I wonder if “District B13” counts as a PARIS movie?
Best Olympics film is "Chariots of Fire"
Takes place at the 1924 Paris Olympics, no less!
Have your kids watched the old school "Jungle Book" movie. I think that would make them laugh at the very least big smiles.
I enjoy your updates as well; they don't come across as complaining.
Winter Olympics is far better IMO, but I miss the snow, say that word in a Minnesotans accent, that seems to be rare during winter for me. As others stated Miracle is a must watch and consider Eddie the Eagle, with Hugh Jackman, or Cool Runnings, with John Candy. Can't go wrong with any of those
Really enjoy your updates! Perhaps a Paris poll could be expanded to a French poll? Lots of great American films take place there, Ronin (1998) etc. But if it's just Paris there is Charade (1963), Sabrina (1954). Star Trek Voyager has Tom Paris, but that's a big commitment. June Toon is great! July-Fi for Sci-fi? (Yeah, I know. I'll stop) 😊
July-Fi…NICE! 👍
Glad to hear you survived the teenagers Cassie, in groups they can be rough (haha). Other than Star Trek, not much for me this week with all the animation. I'd really like to see some polls for 60s & 70s films (by genre), maybe you can highlight an older film once a month on the channel. Cheers!
And toss in a 30s, 40s, 50s Musical poll.
I think you will really enjoy Stardust, only seen it once and definitely looking forward to rewatching it. If you doing a Olympics poll how about also doing a Euros Football (or soccer if your from the U.S. lol) Tournament poll. I know there’s not that many incredible films but I’d definitely recommend, The Damed United (film about the great Brian Clough) & United (2011) (about Manchester United and the Munich Air Disaster) both are incredible movies and I’d recommend anyone giving them a watch. But just a heads up if you watch United get the tissues ready.
Mate, you can’t talk about Football films without mentioning Escape To Victory (1981) !
For Olympics, as others have mentioned, you can’t go wrong with Miracle (2004). This next recommendation isn’t quite Olympics-related, but since you mentioned a fondness for volleyball I highly recommend an anime series called Haikyuu. It’s got everything you could want from a series: a ton of heart, highs and lows, character depth and growth, it’s super wholesome, and features excellent animation. A bit of a departure for the channel, I know, but I genuinely think you’ll mlove the characters and world. Love the channel and hope you’re feeling better!
Olympics - The Boys in the Boat (2023) - an underdog story The Swimmers (2022) - escape war, try for Olympics Olympic Dreams (2019) - behind the scenes at the games Race (2016) - Jesse Owens story Eddie The Eagle (2016) - an underdog story The Bronze (2015) - Life after the games Cool Runnings (1993) - the longest of longshots Without Limits (1998) - so close but not enough American Anthem (1986) - Hey is that Gretzky's wife? Chariots of Fire (1981) - UK politics at the German games
Stardust is a very underrated movie. Interesting story.
Olympics poll, Paris poll,.........hmn, seems like something is missing. What could it be? Let me think, it's on the tip of my tongue....... I know! It's a Classic Horror poll! How could we forget that?
oh yes STARDUST one of my favorites
I think I prefer the winter olympics. Love hockey, somewhat intrigued by the weirdo's that sling themselves down the mountain on ice sleds(bobsled/luge etc) speed skating, downhill skiing. etc etc And I've lived in an oppressively hot climate all my life... anyway. Olympic movies poll has to include Cool Runnings if you've not seen it. lol
Its not your typical dramatic music inspirational sports story... but its olympics related lol
I feel your pain Cassie. I spent the entire weekend, from Friday evening to Sunday around 1pm, prepping for my daughter’s graduation party on Sunday afternoon. Yard work, picking up food and balloons, cleaning the house, etc… Between my wife, my daughters, and myself, we were non-stop. I could barely walk or lift my arms yesterday, but we had perfect weather, great food, great music, and friends and family all in one place. My daughter had such a good time, and I couldn’t be happier for her. Now if only I could sleep for a week straight 😴 Curious to see what you have in your Olympics/Paris poll, but was also wondering if you would be doing a Father’s Day poll? Can’t wait to see The Iron Giant with you and Carly (so sorry she had to go through the wisdom teeth procedure ☹️). I haven’t seen Mask of the Phantasm or Stardust yet, so not sure what to expect with those. And really looking forward to Trivia night this weekend! Time to test my cinema skills! Welcome back home!
I can’t speak to Batman, but Stardust took me by surprise. It’s a lot of fun.
So excited someone is doing stardust!
As a former (5-7 day) camp councillor for 2 different organisations, good on you for volunteering! Sorry to hear it was so rough. I lucked out in all my counselling experiences, the most issues we ever had was having to send a few girls home as soon as they arrived at camp, for doing light vandalism on the bus ride down (4 hours) I hope Carly feels better soon. Having had my wisdom teeth removed recently as well (1.5 years) I feel her pain. Stardust!!!! what a great choice. One of the forgotten about little gems of that era. An Olympics or Paris poll could be fun. If it is Paris, I hope you are okay with movies with subtitles, as a lot of French films could fit into that. As someone who every 2 years takes a full week off of work just to watch the Olympics; for Summer, it is the Rowing, For Winter, it is Biathlon. The last summer games, i got really into Archery. It is always fun to see what sport will hook see in for each new games. You had mentioned volleyball. Is that indoor or beach? If I am not mistaken, Beach volleyball will be played in front of the Eiffel Tower this year in Paris. Quite the backdrop.
Woke up this morning to find a new Update post and a fresh Star Trek reaction. That makes this a very, very good day! Any day with new Trek reaction is special!
I knew you would do a good job at camp. Hope Carly's feeling better soon.
Stardust is great!
Stardust, hmmm Interesting pick I love Clair Danes, she was in great in Homeland and Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio (1996) After surgery on Thursday, I have two more Cubs this month. Plus my anti-racism church group is celebrating Juneteenth did you know it became the first Federal Holiday since Martin Luther King Day? What a month! I like your June tune month idea. I love the Iron Giant. When are we going to watch Oppenheimer? Are we going still to watch the new Mission Impossible with Carly? As always Cassie you and family are in my daily prayers. Ohh so I have never ordered from the Indiana Pacers store before, for Carly's or yours? Indiana Fever hat. Just be on the lookout for that. 🍿🧋:-) Venom 3 trailer is out https://youtu.be/STScKOUpXR8?si=HvX0iEyGmZjTCgkB
Thanks for also watching the runner up Cassie. I hope you like Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) better than Batman (1989). I'm certain you will enjoy Stardust (2007), a very enchanting magical film. Trivia fact: its screenwriter Jane Goldman is married to British chat show host Jonathan Ross. She also wrote screenplays for Kick-Ass (2011), X-Men First Class (2010) and The Woman in Black (2012) a horror film starring Daniel Radcliffe.
I loved your "Secret of N.I.M.H." reaction, I just know that you and Carly are going to love "The Iron Giant". Now for and Olympics film might I suggest "Animalympics" (1980) for your poll? Also if you're also interested in a Paris film then you certainly can't go wrong with "Charade" (1963) with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn.
+1 for Animalympics. Had that on VHS growing up.
I went to Rio for summer Olympics and to South-Korea for winter Olympics. Both were amazing. My country does very well at speed skating so we celebrate almost every night at the Holland House. This time I'll only do a weekend in Paris. Some athletic finals and the closing ceremony.
Stardust. Woo!
Love Stardust
Mean girls 'ay?... did they keep trying to make "fetch" happen? As for the Olympics, I don't mind either, there are things I like about both. As for Olypmics movies, one I don't think has been mentioned yet is "Eddie the Eagle", a biopic about an unlikely British ski-jumper.
Those youths are lucky to have you (were they puking, or was it just yourself?) In the Olympic spirit you might consider watching Eddie the Eagle - it's loosely based on the story of Eddie Edwards, a ski jumper who charmed the world at the 1988 olympics. Also has a wolverine in it....
Cassie, you work so hard! Take it easy, get plenty of rest and recharge those batteries. Get well soon Cassie and Carly. X
Geewiz, a lot has been happening for you, but I'm glad you're making the best of it! Poor Carly getting her wisdom teeth pulled out, that's scary to think about lol, hope she's doing well and my hopes and prayers go out to her! No worries at all Cassie, I like hearing your stories of what's going on with your life, sounds very eventful, at least in comparison to my life which is rather dull lol🤣 So don't worry, share as much as you want at least the stuff you feel comfortable sharing lol! One thing I can share with you right now though is, recently I attended a convention in Pasadena California called "Monsterpalooza" it's kind of a horror movie themed convention, where you get to see a lot of merchendise of famous horror movies, museum pieces and props, and of course meet certain Hollywood actors that have made their mark in the horror genre! One in particular I got to meet was the lovely and sweet Shannyn Sossamon, you'd recognize her as Jocelyn from A KNIGHT'S TALE, yup the same! Gosh she was so gorgeous and so sweet, got a picture with her and she gave me a big hug lol! Other actors I got to meet were Donal Logue, you'd know him from THE PATRIOT and I also met the legendary Michael Ironside, you'd know him from TOP GUN and most recently, TOTAL RECALL, he played Richter the henchman! It was very fun and I plan on going again next year😁 [giggling with excitement] I'm so looking forward to seeing your reaction to BATMAN MASK OF THE PHANTASM that's going to be awesome, I remember when that came out when I was a kid and back then my hype for Batman was at it's peak, I remember in 1st grade going as Batman for Halloween, so fun lol! THE IRON GIANT is such an underrated classic, it deserves more love, I hope you and Carly enjoy it! STARDUST, that's such a forgotten gem, such an underrated fantasy movie, one of my favorites, can't wait to see your reaction to that too! I just finished watching your reaction to THE SECRET OF NIMH and loved it! To be honest, I don't really care much for the Olympics, but I guess I'd have to pick the Winter because I like the cold lol! Unfortunately I won't be making it for the Trivia Quiz Night, so sorry! I don't know for certain if I could make it for the Package Opening Live on the 22nd, maybe IDK! I haven't sent out anything to you since I think my Christmas gifts I sent you last livestream was more than enough and I don't think I could ever top what I got you and Carly, but hanging out chatting and making movie recommendations is always fun, so we shall see! Anyway, hope things are going good for you, love and support always, you and Carly are the best, God bless you, Carly and your family🥰😇🙏😁🤗😉✌👍🌹
Regarding olympics. I'm surprised you have not seen Miracle (2004) yet.
Get well soon Carly. I've had my wisdom teeth removed years ago so I know how painful it can be.
"Crappy dull scissors?" I'll happily restrict you to those after the livestream in which you darn near sent me into an anxiety attack. That was when you lost your boxcutter somewhere among all of the clutter, while continuing to rummage around. My therapist is hopeful I'll eventually get over this.
Not as bad as the one with the killer jellybean.
Oh Cassie, is that the 500th time you've gotten sick this year? :( Deepest sympathies to Carly, as well. Wisdom teeth is not fun. :( You should definitely pick a film from Carly's romantic list to react to, so that you'll both feel better. ;) Looks like a fun week planned ahead. What time will Trivia Night be held at? You're the best Cassie! Stop getting sick!
I always preferred Winter Olympics as well, with the more exciting sports—bobsled, hocky, figure skating, etc. Summer Olympics just reminded me of high school P.E. classes. I had been wondering if perhaps the Canadian week ran Wednesday to Tuesday.
Been enjoying Cartoon June so far! Hope you and Carly are feeling better Looking forward to Stardust!
Not to pry, but "unexpected?" Stardust? Yay, I love Jyn Erso!
Wrong stardust, I'm afraid. Though, this one is good too.
I'm glad you survived camp. I love both the Summer and Winter Olympic games. Since you prefer Winter, may I suggest 1992 THE CUTTING EDGE. If you haven't seen it. I think Carly would like that one also!! 2011 HUGO is my suggestion for Paris based movie. It's a beautiful love letter to movies.
Cassie has already reacted to THE CUTTING EDGE. As for HUGO, it has my full support as well.
Hoping you do some more dramas or period films soon 🤞
Does not come off as complaining! Love the updates
Poor Carly. I remember her being in pain from something else from a while ago. Might be from the fender bender she had. Really looking forward to the first two. Never seen Stardust I'm sad to say. Will now have watch it here with my friends later in the week.
Mask of the Phantasm is the Batman film of the 90s. It's a shame Carly won't be there to watch it with us
RomCom + NBA Basketball + Paris = “Forget Paris” with Billy Crystal and Debra Winger.
What time is trivia? (Pst zone )
It’s going to be MST so you’ll have to make the conversion yourself, ha
Working with youth can be thankless. Give it a few years for them to mature, and they’ll realize how special you were to them. So excited for you to watch Stardust.
Oh i thought for sure you would watch mask of the phantasm with carly
The Summer Olympics definitely needs a reboot. Seriously, do we really need so many running events.
I feel that way about all those swimming events. I guess they want to get their money's worth from building the Olympic pools. :-)
Mask Of The Phantasm AND The Iron Giant?! You're spoiling us with awesomeness this week!
Don’t tell him, but I’ll be glad when my son’s tennis tournament schedule ends. It’s an outdoor sport and Texas has been in the 90’s! (that’s 32°c+ for non-Texans, lol) I wish he gave the swim team try. I like the WINTER OLYMPICS! It’s easier to follow and there is always one (1) event that that I never saw coming. My favorite is the Bobsleigh (why we gotta sleigh Bob?), the Luge and something called “Skeleton?” which seems to be the same thing I think. Glad you survived your field trip! Now, bring on Batman and Charles Jean Luc Xavier : ) PS - who would win in a fight Picard or Kirk?
Am I remembering wrong or, in an early reaction did Carly call Charles Xavier, Professor Wheelchair? I might have just imagined it.
STARDUST 🤩🤩🤩, I've been waiting for this for so long and kept suggesting it for years. I never really followed Winter Olympics. Probably because my country doesn't participate in many winter sports and even in the ones we do we don't get many good results. My Summer Olympics is usually limited to watching/tracking some of the more high profile events we typically doing good: water polo, swimming, kayak & canoe. If you're planning on watching specifically Olympics related movies there are a few really good ones, MIRACLE (2004) and CHARIOTS OF FIRE (1981) are some great Olympics themed sports movies. Personally, I would love to see a poll featuring some more underdog movies about less prominent sports as well, for example: - INVICTUS (2009): a rugby movie with Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman - MCFARLAND USA (2015): cross country with Kevin Costner - THE WORLD'S FASTEST INDIAN (2005): speed bike racing with Anthony Hopkins - MYSTERY, ALASKA (1999): hockey with Russell Crowe - HIDALGO (2004): long distance horse racing with Viggo Mortensen
Man next week is going to be legendary. Iron Giant AND MOTP? Oh man.
STARDUST! love that movie, and the Graphic novel..have you ladies ever read a graphic novel for your book club? I think it would be a great one for y'all to check out.
In Honor of Carly's missing Teeth we should have a Hockey Poll. Miracle vs. Slap Shot vs. The Cutting Edge. Perhaps.
She already reacted to The Cutting Edge. I sent her the DVD for one of her pillowcase pull and I was so surprised when she pulled it out. The best moment of my PiB experience so far! Also Miracle all the way!
Awesome.. it's been a week for me too.. looked at a new apartment. Got my application approved.. signed lease and got keys and now I am almost moved in(new bed arrives Wednesday). I am excited but also sore and tired. ..but I should be all moved in before the end of the week.
Congrats! Did you get a decent price on it, or are they still insane?
Stardust is excellent. What a good choice Cassie!
Real family first. Always. Patreon and YT family can and will always wait patiently.
That toof toomoval bites. 😁❤️
I hope you feel better soon, it's no fun being sick. It looks like a great week ahead for movies! As for the Olympics movie suggestion, Miracle.
Okay a Paris poll MUST include Funny Face. It's Audrey Hepburn's love letter to Paris!
That’s a wonderful film - plus it has Fred Astaire. I want Cassie & Carly to see an Astaire/Rogers film so bad. The iconic dancing duo hasn’t made a PiB appearance yet…
Chariots of fire for sure!
That repeated note has been instantly triggered in my brain. :-)
Mean girls? Did they pick on you? :)
Batman Mask of the Phantasm means the world to me. I'm so freaking happy you're reacting. This will start a chain reaction. Watch. In the next few months SO MANY channels will react to it. It came out on Christmas day in 1993 and my dad was cool enough to take me after we opened presents. The theater was totally empty and it felt like it was just for us. I wish I could see it again on the big screen. IMAX even since it has a 4:3 natural aspect ratio and the wide screen is actually the cropped version... so it would fit on an IMAX screen fairly naturally. Sad Carly isn't joining though. I think she'd like it.
I wanted to see that so badly at one point. But never did. Forgot how obsessed I was with those cartoons. X-Men was big as well.
Yay for stardust! I think you'll love it
