Another good one -- War of the Roses -- Danny DeVito and Kathleen Turner
hi, cassie. i enjoy your reactions. i tried looking for your letterboxd but found that it was taken down. is there another list i can look at, of films and tv shows you've watched already ?

Hey Cassie? There are a couple of interesting Warhammer 40K flicks you could take a gander at , both on YouTube -- "Ultramarines" with John Hurt (Alien), Terence Stamp (Superman, Star Wars Episode 1...), Sean Pertwee (Soldier with Kurt Russell), and "Helsreach" which is a long one but a good one, differently animated -- it looks like the entire thing was drawn by hand, black and white at first before slowly shifting to colour, but if you stick with it you'll love it. Everyone who agrees with me? Like my comment plz!
new movie's called rumble through the dark consfiracy theory houe at the end of the street Crousel x-men A p o c a l p s e never seen before
I’m curious, have Cassie/Carly seen The Birdcage (1996)?? If not, I feel that would be an awesome Father’s Day watch along. Plus I feel is a way overdue reaction. Please consider.
If you’re interested in doing something for Father’s Day, may I suggest… Frequency (2000), starring Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel. Also, with The Northern Lights happening back in May, and again this week in places, you may find that, this year… Frequency is a Fitting Film for Fathers… and their Sons & Daughters. ;-)
Frequency is a good pick, quite underrated IMO. I would also add in BIG FISH (2003) and ROAD TO PERDITION (2002) for a themed poll.
"Our winner Gabor was a big upset in the last 5 questions" If he won, why was he a big upset, he should a been a big happy! :-P Congratulations, Gabor, looking forward to your picks.
Thx. I was quite happy and surprised. But before the last 5 questions I was consistently around #10-15, and thanks to a lucky guess which only 4 of us got right I soared to #1. My picks are: 1. IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT (1967) 2. KELLY'S HEROES (1970) 3. DAS LEBEN DER ANDEREN / THE LIVES OF OTHERS (2006) 4. INVICTUS (2009) 5. HUGO (2011) I'm waiting eagerly and with curiosity which one Cassie will be choosing.
Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is even better imo
Class Cass, So I am not going to lie Bill and Ted were really funny back in the day and then when I got a college education and it wasn't funny anymore. I remember a lot of people thinking it was a funny joke. Now a pair that's so much better is Chris Tucker and Ice Cube in Friday (1995). This movie is funny it's a lot more realistic and everyone at my school was talking about how funny it was. Like everyone.
You know Bill & Ted wasn't going for "realism" right? Lol... Both movies (original and sequel) are fantastic... the recent 3rd movie is trash. But yeah, Friday's good too.
Still patiently waiting for some 60s-70s polls, may be a long wait (haha).
I've been asking (begging) for a classic horror poll for around a year now, so, yeah, might be a long wait.
I am a fan of Star Trek TNG, but even I'm getting burnout (haha), what with 7 seasons to plow through. I'll be glad when we move on to the TNG movies. Not at all a fan of the Chris Pine reboots, so I'll skip those.
To me, TNG is getting even better, as Cassie is more familiar w/the crew. I am looking forward to S5, S6, S7, which should be a total of about 18 episodes. Not looking forward to the TNG movies so much, except for First Contact. I am looking forward to the Chris Pine trilogy (reboots) -- I think Cassie will like. As Leonard Nimoy said, Star Trek (2009) has "great heart with the characters. ... capture[s] the essence of the fun of the Star Trek characters, the chemistry between the people, the excitement of becoming part of that crew and going out on this adventure. ... I was pleased with how they treated the Spock character. I thought that they really got it. ... I was very happy to see Zachary Quinto take over the character. I think he’s an excellent, well-trained actor and excellent for the job."
Planet of the Apes After completing the X-Men franchise, I would like to see Cassie react to these 5: Planet of the Apes (1968) + the most recent four (Rise, Dawn, War, Kingdom). That's less of a commitment than the number of X-Men movies she is reacting to. I am also looking forward to Cassie reacting to the Chris Pine ST trilogy after completing TNG.
For me the ape movies get old pretty quick, only the 68 movie is worth her watching IMO.
I love that you were asking the questions during X-Men that will be addressed in First Class. I actually liked the young X-Men movies. Like the original 3, I don't like the 3rd one so much.
So glad ypu're foing First Class before doing all those Wolverine installments. You will love the background/origin stories and all the questions that are answered!
Any last place Trivia prizes? Asking for a friend.
While we're at it, how about prizes for the people who whose Starlink connection stopped scrolling down? ;-)
I couldn't see anyone mention yet, here or the Olympics polls (I'm probably wrong though), "Dangerous Liaisons" (1988) as a Parisian movie.
+1 for "Dangerous Liaisons" (1988)
More X-Men movies means that we are closer to starting Planet of the Apes! The polls are great, Cassie. Looking forward to the results.
A definite +1 for Planet of the Apes. In the live poll, I voted Planet of the Apes over X-Men. The live poll results were about X-Men = 55% and Planet of the Apes = 45%
Michael Fassbender is a perfect Magneto.
True. Gandalf is really hard to beat though.
She will enjoy Bill and Ted. A most triumphant choice
First class is gonna be a wild ride, can't wait to get to days of futures past! My personal favorite.
All bangers as the kids would say. Love first class. Season 5 is great What can you say about Bill and ted other than Excellent!🎸
Good line up this week, but with first couple of episodes on the new Star Wars series having just been released I really hope you’ll watch ANDOR and AHSOKA soon! 🙏🏻
ANDOR is my favorite Star Wars series. Diego Luna said filming of S2 is complete, and that S2 will be released in early 2025.
Just a heads up. After X-men first class, watch The Wolverine. It leads right into Days of Future Past
Loving the trek Cassie! Great movie line up as well. You are the best! Shout out for the “Pelican Brief” Denzil Washington and Julia Roberts! you and Carly would love it. 🙂
Was just thinking of that the other day. Grisham is making the rounds on TV right now for his new book and he brought it up.
I’m really, really excited for X-Men First Class!! This XMEN ride was unexpected and loving it so far.
If they skipped Age of Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, and New Mutants I wouldn't cry, but I'm really glad they're doing the rest. Not enough superhero content on this channel lately, imo.
Had a feeling you'd both love FIRST CLASS (it is one of the best X-MEN movies imo). I think you'll enjoy BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE. It's a very silly movie, but not a stupid one (it's actually a very smart movie... just about some rather dim characters). As for films about Paris, some of my favorites are AN AMERICAN IN PARIS with Gene Kelly, TAKEN with Liam Neeson, Francois Truffaut's JULES & JIM and THE 400 BLOWS, Jean-Luc Goddard's BREATHLESS, CHARADE with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, FRANTIC with Harrison Ford, HOW TO STEAL A MILLION (again, with Audrey), Jacques Tati's PLAY TIME, MRS HARRIS GOES TO PARIS, Agnes Varda's CLEO FROM 5 TO 7, Woody Allen's EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU and the original SABRINA with (surprise!) Audrey Hepburn.
Some good picks here!
"Thank you so much for coming and playing and making me laugh despite our internet going down 30 seconds in. Our winner Gabor was a big upset in the last 5 questions..." Fingers crossed that the REAL winner ends up being Starlink.
I found Starlink to be buggy. Stopped letting me scroll down early in the quiz to the point I had to bail. Other people had the same problem. Might have been Cassie's internet (I never have problems with mine), but it didn't really seem like a slow internet problem.
Too bad Bill & Ted wasn't able to be with Carly.....y'all would have had so much fun seeing it together.
Maybe she can watch it with Beeth-oven. :)
What an Excellent (sorry couldn’t resist 😂) upcoming week, really looking forward to all these.
Totally most excellent.
Looking forward to Bill & Ted. Not the Keanu you’re used to.
Then again, neither is he in RIVER'S EDGE.
Can't wait for Batman on Youtube, one of the best shows growing up.
There needs to be a Canada Day poll too, since Cassie is half Canuck. I nominate Canadian Bacon (1995). Also, since I'm talking about Canada, can Newfoundland finally admit it isn't new anymore? It's been about 500 years already.
What about New York?😂. Honestly as a Canadian, there’s not enough Canadian movies worthy of a poll. My vote would go to “The Grand Seduction” as it takes place in the Maritimes, but not sure that it’s Canadian made
One I would suggest for the 4th of July poll is called First Man. It came out in 2018 & stars Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong.
That director has had an interesting career. Some strange choices in there.
If we’re all doing movie suggestions. Can I add ‘Dragonfly’ to a list with Kevin Costner!
The Upcoming posts are the main place for people to make suggestions so add anything you like.
2 out of 3 ain't bad. :) I'll go ahead and continue to miss the ST stuff. Not my cup of tea.
So, so ready for Star Trek to be over.
I am pumped about Bill and Ted (and more TNG). MOVIES TO CONSIDER FOR PARIS POLL (I posted this list in a comment on the Olympic poll) Les Misérables (1998). Liam Neeson. Uma Thurman. Romance/Crime A Little Chaos (2014). Kate Winslet. M Schoenaerts. Romance/Comedy Frantic (1988). Harrison Ford. Thriller/Crime French Kiss (1995). Meg Ryan, Kevin Kline. Romance/Comedy Taken (2008). Liam Neeson. Action/Thriller Suite Française (2014). Michelle Williams. Romance/War 2 Days in Paris (2007). Julie Delpy. Romance/Comedy Sarah's Key (2010). Kristin Scott Thomas. Drama/Thriller Charade (1963). Audrey Hepburn. Cary Grant. Comedy/Thriller Three Colours: Blue (1993). Juliette Binoche. Romance/Thriller Paris, je t'aime (2007). W Dafoe. Natalie Portman. Etc. Romance/Comedy/Drama The Dreamers (2003) (NC-17). Eva Green (born in Paris in 1980). Romance/Erotic Marie Antoinette (2006). Kirsten Dunst. Drama/History
Nice picks, if she’s doing any action films I personally think Ronin (1998) & From Paris with Love are both great underrated movies.
For everybody that doesnt like the choices one or two weeks, it comes and goes. Last week I didnt see anything I was interested in, but now Im down for all three this week.
It will always balance out if people are patient
My favorite movies set in Paris: As Above, So Below (2014) The Horde (2012) An American Werewolf in Paris (1997)
Should put La Haine in your list.
Classy, You know what show you would love? Boston Legal it has William Shatner in it. It also has James Spader from Stargate in it. It's extremely funny. It was created by David Kelly who created Ally McBeal
Was just thinking a David E. Kelley show would be good. For personal, or the channel or whatever. Ally Mcbeal was so good back in the day.
You should do a Nolan week this summer. Inception, Interstellar and Oppenheimer.
A swedish week, or at least a nordic week 🤩🤩🤩
Classic Horror poll please (maybe minimalism will work).
Maybe calling them Slightly to Moderately Intense Thrillers might do the trick.
“WHOA!!” Said Ted Theodore Logan (air guitar)
Iconic.
Thanks again for watching Batman: Mask of the Phantasm Cassie! I'm secretly hoping it might lead you to watching Batman: The Animated Series, a very acclaimed 1990s TV series that is beloved by pretty much every single Batman fan on the planet!
If you're looking for something fun to watch before bed or whatever you might like Atypical on Netflix...especially if you like that coming of age stuff. Personally haven't seen it, but mom, dad, and sister keep raving about it. 'Cutest show ever' apparently.
Another awesome line up coming up! Can’t wait for your reactions to First Class (I knew you and Carly would love it!). And Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure?!?! NO WAY!! That reaction is sure to be totally triumphant! I was really upset that I missed Trivia Night on Saturday. But my daughter had car issues and was stranded at the beach. I went to help her out and it took awhile, but I got the car running again. And to celebrate, we got some ice cream and sat on the beach for awhile. So, if you’re going to have car problems, I guess the beach is the place for it to happen. Lots of exciting polls going on now AND coming up! I’m really excited to spend my first summer with you, Carly, and the PIB community. ☀️😎 🏖️
First Class, awesome. Star trek, continuing to enjoy each reaction. Bill an Ted's, this brings back memories. We have a great schedule to look forward to.
CARLY would LOVE; “The Man From Snowy River” and John McTiernan’s film “The 13th Warrior”.
I have nostalgia for “The 13th Warrior”.
Possibly a wrong opinion; IF CARLY can dig LOTR, then she can dig “300”.
I think that’s been watched already. I might be wrong
Ooooh! Party On, Cassie!
Ha literally just watched Bill & Ted with the kids last week! Don't skip the sequel. The dirty little secret about Bogus Journey is *it's actually much better than the first one* ;)
STATION!
Hope you are feeling better, Cassie! This is such a great week — thank you! btw, love to hear your thoughts after FIRST CLASS on Michael Fassbinder as Magneto. I love his performance, which really grows over the prequels. He seems to embody a certain sad/bitter malevolence that Sir Ian only touched on at times.
Party on dudes!
Looks like a fun week ahead! I also had a lot of fun n trivia night! Although I did get kicked out of the stream when you switched to low latency mode (Jon said to refresh the page in the comments. Big mistake 😂) I did keep on playing the quiz and eventually found a new link to the stream on discord. Ended up in the 30’s though ☹️ Congrats to Gabor! And thx to everyone for making the night possible! Looking forward to the next one!
Bill & Ted?!! Dude! No Way! No… Way
Paris Movies: An American In Paris (1951) struggling artist, love triangle...etc Funny Face (1957) Next top model contest goes off the rails Gigi (1958) the French take love so seriously and marriage so lightly Charade (1963) Mark Wahlburg sorta did a remake of this call "The Truth About Charlie" The Three Musketeers (1973) It's a classic! The Duelists (1977) too much testosterone for two French officers Three Colors: Blue (1992) there are two more films in this series "Red" and "White" French Kiss (1995) not in Paris, but I think you'll love Meg Ryan and Kevin Cline together Amelie (2001) A young woman finds herself while helping others. The Dreamers (2003) A spicy tale of 2 people in love and one along for the ride Head in the Clouds (2004) Journalists and spies in WWII Untouchable (2011) Kevin Hart did an American version called "The Upside" Love (2015) explore obsession in this SUPER spicy flick. The two leads were dating at the time.
Amelie is already on the channel
I think there's a lot of Star Trek, not a fan. I'm waiting for the next month
The next what?
Bill and Ted is just silly fun. Not for me, but I am old and past my silly teenage phase. X-Men first class is decent, but they didn't want to do a full reboot so they had to find ways to shoehorn new stories in and lots of times it just scrambles the history of the characters. I hope the new X-Men movies coming are good, but some of the stuff they are putting out scares me.
Cassie, recently joined Patreon here. My wife and I really enjoy your content! One movie I think you should really check out is "Frequency." Great cast (Jim Caviezel, Dennis Quaid) and a really great story.
Love that movie. If you're new, Cassie has a web app with a list of movies she's reacted to, but also a list of movie requests, where you can add requests. I certainly just added one for Frequency, since you mentioned it. You can find a link to the web app in the pinned FAQ at the top.
Bill and Ted like totally tubular man! Woa! Season 5. Only like two two more seasons to go. 🙏. Wayne's World was better. Bill and Ted philosophizing..... I have said too much. You know Anne Frank her birthday is tomorrow. She would have been 95 had she lived.
Well that’s a very nice surprise! Glad you classified Bill and Ted as a fun comedy, it’s not to be taken too seriously.
Is it even possible to take Bill and Ted seriously?
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is just one of those movies that is better than it ever had the right to be. Excited to see this finally making its reaction debut :)
So there will be a July 4th poll! So excited for that one. I suggested two musicals before: James Cagney's Oscar winner YANKEE DOODLE DANDY (1942) and the historic 1776 (1972). Hmm, if those were the only choices, I wonder which my fellow Patrons would pick? I wonder (not the Classic Era one, I know! ha ha). So lets throw in another Classic Era movie, James Stewart in MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON (1939) which would be Cassie's third Frank Capra joint! (Hey, Mr. Smith has about as much to do with July 4th as BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY!!!) As always most looking forward to the TNG Star Trek reactions (with Unification part 1 being the second episode of the bunch, will we get a three episode reaction???). But I must admit to really wanting to see Cassie and Carly watch X-MEN FIRST CLASS. That will be one fun reaction, as they meet (and re-meet) a new group of X-Men! Can't wait for any of it!
Mr Smith is great and Yankee Doodle Dandy is awesome. Hope Cassie gets to both. Frank Cara is my favorite director of all time.
Fun movie week!
Three months away but Cassie two movies you MUST see for the Fall are What Lies Beneath and The Devil's Advocate. Both creepy but excellent.
Party on Dude!!!
Excellent!!! Bill & Teds I really hope you enjoy it. Wish I would have thought of it when you asked about the 3 movie this week. Have a Whoa day everyone and go in peace. ☮️✌️
Can't wait for First Class!! I'm sure X-Men Days of Future Past is coming soon. I hope you can find a copy of The Rogue Cut!
Finally! Bill & Ted get justice!
Get with Force of Light on YT and do a watch along with Michelle and Natalie
Waiting for Sep/Oct... 🤣🤣
When will there be a break from The trek stuff? Seems to have been every week for a couple of months.
About 16 or 17 TV episodes and four theatrical movies and that will likely be the end of it.
I'm here for the Trekkin
Excellent! 🎸
