Coming Up Canada!
Hey Hey Eh Eh!
Still in Canada bed over here! Thank you so much for being understanding as we took last week off! I don’t think I knew how needed it was until I was in it! We took the kids camping in one of my favorite places in the world, we swam, ate popsicles, flipped a canoe, played games and it felt like true summer for the first time this year. Carly surprised us and came up for a few days too, my brother was here from Montana and we haven't all been together for over a year, it was great! I took a deep breath and break, now I feel so genuinely excited to be back in the bed seat and watch movies with you!
This week we have our OLYMPIC WEEK!! Cue theme music, and picture me running in slow motion with a torch with popcorn popping on the top of it! Can someone AI that STAT please haha! We have our Gold, Silver, Bronze winners of our Olympic Poll! I feel like these 3 films are very different and show different sides/stories of the games, which is great. I might need to watch Eddie the Eagle (4th place) as well!
Coming up the rest of the month is ST season 6 episodes, Godzilla OG and Minus 1, our March Madness Bracket winner Mojo One thousand picks (Cant decide between Mystery Alaska or This is Where I Leave You)
Sorry it took me so long to post the ST TNG S6 Polls, but they are live now! Go vote! We will have the final poll in a few days! What other polls would you guys like to see coming up?
I will let you all know the Butter LIVE date for this month when we are back in the USA toward the end of July!
Who has gone to theatres and seen the new Twisters or Quiet Place Day One? I think I will watch those both on the channel so I might drag Ben to the Channing Tatum one this week:)
Ok I miss you all, hope you're doing great, getting excited for the Olympics, what is your fav summer even to watch?
Take off you hosers ;)

kirsten dunst paul bettany wimbldon from the makers of nothing hill briget joones and love actually great british romantic comedy - a winner based on the true story
With all the war movies and series you have watch, you must have be sugested: Deer hunter and Killing fields
Excited for Godzilla minus 1. The OG however...did not age like a fine wine (unlike King Kong 1933 which remains a great watch). You'd probably enjoy the 2014 version more.
The OG is a classic and aged just fine. You're entitled to your opinion, but just know it's very much a minority opinion.
Clint Eastwood poll? What’s your favourite Cassie hasn’t seen yet? Every which way but Loose, Dirty Harry, the Gauntlet, pale rider, Kelly’s hero’s, a perfect world, absolute power, heartbreak ridge, the outlaw josey wales and where eagles dare?
Hang 'em High.
"I, Tonya" is to ice skating what "Raging Bull" was to boxing - a really good movie about people you wouldn't want to know. As for "Chariots", how can you not love a couple of clean-cut college boys vying for a gold medal in their assembly-line plimsolls? I still have scars today from those bloody things!
I remember when the Tonya Harding thing happened in the 90's. Knew it would be a movie someday, but assumed it would be a Lifetime movie or something like that. Never would've imagined it would be Oscar-caliber. Also I want to know what a plimsoll is but i'm afraid to ask.
Cassie remember when you do eventually watch I Tonya, use the copy I sent you awhile back.
Be sure to follow Chariots of Fire with Rowan Atkinson's spoof of it at the 2012 London Olympics. Absolute gold 🤣 https://youtu.be/CwzjlmBLfrQ?si=BDLsKwb0K6eFY2JR
Hi Cassie, may I suggest you put the classics 2001: A Space Odyssey and Planet of the Apes (1968) on the schedule. These would win any polls. Cheers!
Ideas for a poll you say?…hmmm🤔…..how about a Drama Poll, based on true stories with them directed by Micheal Mann…. Maybe starring Al Pacino and Russel Crowe?! 😃…….. ………Cough! (The Insider)
Oh that's a great movie. One of my favorites. That morphing scene toward the end is really beautiful. Fairly cutting edge for the time.
I feel like we are due for another Court Room/Lawyer Adjacent poll. So many good ones left!!
Like Indictment: The McMartin Trial (1995), the true story of the longest trial in U.S. history.
You mean the Scarlet Johannson one 😉 have a great time!
Since you're asking for poll ideas, I'll just reiterate one that I've been pushing for awhile: a Steven Spielberg poll. This might seem redundant after having just recently watched MUNICH and WAR OF THE WORLDS, but I don't care. More Spielberg on the channel is always a good thing. I would suggest you include all of the films he's directed that you haven't seen and do a themed week by watching the top three. Here they are: The Sugarland Express Duel Close Encounters of the Third Kind 1941 The Color Purple Empire of the Sun Always Amistad A.I. The Adventures of TinTin Bridge of Spies The BFG The Post Ready Player One The Fabelmans
She said Ready Player One was going to be her popcorn pick of the month. She might've forgot though. That was like two or three weeks ago.
Interstellar poll! 1: Interstellar 2: Interstellar 3: Interstellar 4: Interstellar 5: Interstellar
She's watched Interstellar without us, Daniel - always a dagger to the heart in my opinion. If I remember correctly, she no like.
Glad you are enjoying your time away Cassie! "Eddie the Eagle" would be a pleasant extra, it's a nice little movie. It is a bit nostalgic for me, he was a bit of an introduction to Winter Olympic for me as a young kid. My mum used to love the figure skating, particularly Torvill and Dean, but watching some British bloke with Coke bottle glasses have a crack was interesting and the spirit of the Olympics. Coming from a place that, at the time, didn't have a great Winter Olympic presence it was a bit of a novelty. I wasn't expecting "Mystery, Alaska" and "This is where I leave you" to cause a tough choice. Cassie, I guess there is always a Popcorn Pick. I sent my poll idea through in an email when I submitted my winning choices through, but that email went in the void a while back. Being a US Presidential election year, and it does have an impact on news around the world, having a poll about US federal elections movies may be interesting for later in year (obviously trying to avoid actual current politics). I did throw together a list of movies that are relevant to the idea, and most of the one I am familiar with are pretty good: Dramatic * "The Front Runner" * "Primary Colors" * "Game Change" * "The Candidate" * "Wag the dog" Comedic * "The Campaign" * "Bulworth" * "Man of the Year" * "Irresistible" I am sure there are others, but these are that I am either familiar or were able to find with some quick searches. Obviously "Election" is another option, but as that is not about US federal elections, I didn't include in the list.
Game Change was a good one. Used to love Bulworth as a kid.
Since you're asking for poll ideas here's a few (I won't mention a Certain Poll twice in the same comments section.......................CLASSIC HORROR POLL!!!!!!! Sorry, couldn't help myself) Popcorn Requests Super poll - use a random number generator to pick 10 movies from the 6000+ movies that have one or more votes - that would be crazy fun Asian Martial Arts poll part II Classic Sci-Fi poll
Good idea, maybe she could spin a wheel or have a lottery type drawing (haha), that would be fun to watch. Maybe have some specific genre polls also.
Great to see that you and your family had such a great time, well deserved, just a quick mention about a dog movie I think you and Carly would like starring James Belushi called K9. Hope you get time to watch it. All the very best. Chrissie ❤️
Fly Me To The Moon was a great one. The four of us saw it in the movie theater last weekend in Calgary since it was so high on Zach's wishlist. Scarjo and Channing Tatum were excellent together. I think you and Ben would love it. I know we did.
Eddie the Eagle is great!
Looking forward to the Olympic reactions, not participated in a watch along for a while after the lineups didn’t appeal to me. I’d love see reactions to: The Conversation Network
Just throwing my vote behind an Eddie the Eagle watch. Hugh Jackman Calgary 88 and an uplifting story. Sounds like popcorn gold to me
So happy to hear that you had a great time in Canada - ... what a magnificent and picturesque nature , - so unlike Denmark, - we have a lot of islands, from small with no humans to the bigger ones with Copenhagen ... I have to rewatch "Chariots Of Fire", - the music by Vangelis is iconic and often reused in popular media, - I love the scene in "National Lampoon's Vacation", where Clark and Rusty race eachother at the parking lot at Wally World...
I suggest a poll of Clarence Newman's favourite films. I'd be well up for that! Oh and welcome back too.
Welcome back! I hope you're having a great time. Seeing those photos and your Instagram story, it looks like a really beautiful place. It reminds me a lot to the Alpine parts of Austria. I think you should watch Eddie the Eagle. It has the kind of spirit you'd expect from a sports movie, the type you'll only see in one of the top three medalists. What other polls? Oh boy, I had so many ideas. Here are some: - Random 5 poll from the top 50 of a selected decade from Popcornrequests - Classic (pre 1980s) war movie poll - Based on true story movie poll - Random 5 poll of Christopher McQuarrie's Letterboxd - British movies poll
I like your first suggestion in particular. We always talk about our personal favourites, but there are still plenty of heavyweight classics that Cassie really needs to see. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Training Day, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, An Officer and a Gentleman..... All great movies, huge hits, and boxes that need to be ticked by our favourite AmeriCanadian.
And she's BACK!! Aboot dang time don'tchya know? Well...it's nice to have ya back. End of story. Looks like it's gon' be hot tomorrow... heat wave comin' in.
"Coming up Canada!" as a Texan who moved north to Idaho 25 yrs. ago let me take this opportunity to recommend a Canadian true Christmas story set in McBride, B.C. starring Aidan Quinn, "The Horses of McBride" (2012). Two horses were found stranded in deep snow in the "high country" & a young woman fought to save them from being euthanized at Christmas. So how do you get them out? I do like "Mystery Alaska", great ice hockey movie.
Glad you enjoyed your week off Cass. I would definitely recommend you also watching "Eddie the Eagle", as ironically I think you will enjoy it more than the Medal Winners. I also think it has the most Olympic Spirit of them all too. Tough call between "Mystery Alaska" and "This is Where I Leave You" as they are both great films. But come on... "Mystery Alaska" has Russell Crowe and was filmed in Canmore. I have zero interest in seeing unnecessary sequels so I have not gone and will not be going to the theatre to watch those two movies.
Take off, eh!!
Glad you are having a good time with your family. How about a 2000s teen comedies poll?
Cassie you should do a review of the old TV series Due South. It is about a Canadian Mountie assigned to the counselor's office in Chicago as liaison with the city Police Department.
An old favorite. Don't forget his dog, Dief, who was deaf but could read lips.
Enjoy your time in Canada. Please keep in your back pocket: -Invictus (2009) -The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009) [or 2011 remake w/Daniel Craig] I suggest a Julia Roberts poll. Some candidates for the poll: *Charlie Wilson's War (2007) (based on true story) (Julia Roberts = awesome) *Michael Collins (1996) (based on true story) *Wonder (2017) *Closer (2004) *The Normal Heart (2014) *Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) *Mystic Pizza (1988)
Sleeping With The Enemy?
I have seen Godzilla Minus 1 2 times. I loved it. Cassie's heart is going to melt with the little girl in minus 1. She is so adorable. Eddie the Eagle is a good idea for Olympics. You are going to want a pallet cleanser from at least 2 of them. Good to see Mama Popcorn. Been a stretch since we last saw her.
Hey Cassie! Welcome back to the bridge and your captain’s seat! So happy to hear from you after what sounds like an amazing trip back to your roots in Canada. Family time, down time, and outdoor time…you can’t beat that trio. And Carly made it up to join in the fun?! No way, dude!! Those pics are fantastic!! I can picture myself right there sitting at a campfire, roasting marshmallows…and popping corn of course. Looking forward to joining you for Olympic week. But I beg of you…please, please, please watch Eddie the Eagle along with the medal winners. I’m willing to bet it will be your favorite among the 4 movies. And the OG Godzilla and Godzilla Minus 1! YES!! Do I smell another theme with the Monsterverse movies to follow those gems? 🤞🤞🤞 One more thing…canoe tipping? Was it a douche canoe? 😉 Can’t wait for the upcoming live.
While I wouldn't hate a Monsterverse series watch through what I'd really like is a James Bond-style Godzilla movie overview - Showa era, Heisei era, Millenium era right up to Shin Godzilla. Not expecting that to really happen, but I can dream, can't I? She should really watch Shin Godzilla though, it's on par with G:M1 (imo).
Great to see you're doing Godzilla Minus 1 and OG 1954 Godzilla (which version? Gojira (japanese) or Godzilla (US) - I hope you watch Gojira, it's definitely the better version). And now that you're the doing OG Godzilla that'll be one less film in the running for the Classic Horror poll - you didn't think I'd forget about the Classic Horror poll, did you?
The Thing from Another World !!!
Well, I did my best to create an Olympic photograph and just uploaded it over at FB under your Olympic announcement... 😉
Well, I know someone who is going to be very, very happy with you finally watching both the original GODZILLA and the new GODZILLA MINUS ONE. :-) Anyway, welcome back. Hope you had a nice break. Looking forward to the movies this week. I, TONYA is an interesting film the lends a very particular point of view to a notoriously scandalous real-life event in Olympic history. The cast is great (Margot Robbie in particular) and the story is so outrageous that it is almost unbelievable. It's sort of like a FARGO that actually did happen. CHARIOTS OF FIRE is one of the most moving and inspirational true stories that's ever been turned into a movie. Winner of Best Picture the year it came out, I'm sure you will enjoy it and find it worthwhile. Don't listen to those who say it's too slow or too boring. It's a wonderful movie. You'll probably be humming the main theme song by Vangelis for weeks afterwards But the movie I'm most interested in seeing your reaction to this week is (and this is no surprise to anyone I'm sure) the one by my favorite director Steven Spielberg. MUNICH is one of his best films (certainly one of his most complex, mature and powerful). The cast is superb (filled with a number of faces you will recognize), the story is harrowing and the questions it raises are of supreme significance in our contemporary world. It won't be an easy watch, but like SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and SCHINDLER'S LIST it is an important one. Remember when you view it that it was made shortly after 9/11 and was intended as, among other things, a comment on how a nation deals with terrorism. As always, keep up the good work.
Several people are very happy that she's finally watching Godzilla, me being one of them.
Got to go with Mystery, Alaska (1999). Got to go with Burt Reynolds. When in Doubt… Go with Burt. It’s a Great Life Lesson… and a Great Film ;-) Also, Mystery, Alaska (1999), written by David E. Kelley, very easily leads to Lake Placid (1999), written by David E. Kelley. Lake Placid (1999) is a perfect Scary but Not Too Scary film for October. It’s a very Fun Jaws-Like movie, with a Terrific Cast and Terrific Script.
Betty White has a short but memorable role in Lake Placid. What a gem of an actress she was. And you’re spot on with Lake Placid being perfect for Scary But Not Too Scary October.
Glad you're having a great time. We all miss you to and look forward to you being back.
Live in Ontario never traveled that far West,Manitoba .But always cut thru states to get there shorter.Alberta and BC look amazing. Enjoy your reunion.
Interesting thing, Rupert Grint(Ron Weasley) was almost cast as the main character in Eddie the Eagle. I still kinda wish he was.
Who's the star? Thinking it was the kid from the Gentlemen series but not sure.
Honestly of those three movies in theaters, Fly Me to the Moon is the one I'd most like to see on the channel!
It’s a shame your mom didn’t get to be with y’all for the other M:I reactions.
Great photos! You’ve been working so hard for us - AND being a 3-kid mom and wife and best friend to Ben - so nice you’re getting to exhale a bit! Looking forward to the new content, but don’t wreck yourself - we’ll still be here when you get back. God bless and safe journeys!
I'm happy to hear you guys are having a good time up in Canada. You bring happiness to a lot of people and your vacation is well deserved. My favorite summer event was always gymnastics growing up but the last games I watched I found myself really invested in fencing.
Poll idea- True story legal movies from 1995 starring James Woods. Or the other idea I had- "Movies shown in other movies I reacted too". For example, Top Hat (1935) was the movie they watched in The Green Mile.
In the movie Halloween both The Thing from Another World (51) and Forbidden Planet (56) are shown on the TV.
Great picks for Olympic week! MUNICH (2005) is one of Spielberg’s best.
Watching the first Pink Panther is obligatory if you ever want to get to the rest, but please know it's the least funny of them all.
Except maybe for REVENGE.
Cassie... glad you and your family are enjoying the time at home. The photo of you and Mom looks great - such an incredible location! Each of this week's movies depict very different intense dramas of the Olympics. I'm really looking forward to this - Cue John Williams and let the games begin. Have fun and safe travels!
Great that you're watching Chariots of Fire (1981)!! This might amuse you, Rowan Atkinson's comedy character Mr Bean did a comedy skit of the signature theme song at the 2012 London Olympic Games' closing ceremony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwzjlmBLfrQ
Twisters isn't out yet, but we plan on seeing it this weekend. We did see A Quiet Place Day One and liked it for the kinda small story about mortality and humanity that it was. Also saw the new Channing Tatum movie (Fly Me to the Moon) and I think you're really going to like that one. Between Mystery, Alaska and This Is Where I Leave You, you should watch both as those are both movies that you will really like. And I know you're probably not looking ahead to scary season yet, but you should consider Longlegs when you get into Halloween this year, as I'm sure it'll be available to watch at home by then.
Congratulations Cassie, you've just reached 10,000 Patreon subscribers!
She said in one of the lives (last Extra Butter?) that that number isn't right. I think she said it is actually around 3500.
Glad you're having a good time up here in Canada 🇨🇦. Whereabouts are you? You've probably said before but i cant remember! Nice Olympic choices! I'm planning to see Twisters this coming weekend. It's been too long since I've gone to the movies.
Glad you all had a nice reunion and some well-deserved time off! For Olympics please everybody watch the surfing events in Tahiti. Surfing will need a lot of good “Breaks” to survive as an Olympic sport. 😊🏄♂️
So this is the first time surfing is an event in the Olympics?
😒
I just wanted to say it’s always nice to hear about you spending time with your family and love ones. I feel my heart swell with happiness for you. Thank you for your time and effort into this channel. It may sound odd to some, but you are like family to us.
Really happy you are getting to enjoy some summer time in Canada! Take advantage of it as much as you can! I promise you would absolutely love everything about Mystery Alaska. Also, I got tickled by the Olympic movies being ranked as gold, silver, and bronze. Very on point!
I absolutely enthusiastically second Mystery Alaska. Such an underrated film.
Glad you had a good break Cassie, Family time is a must. By the way guys I am taking bets how far into the Chariots of Fire reaction before we hear Cassie say "Oh! I know this music!"?
You and your Mom are representing the wrong country in these pics😉
I'm tempted to write "Yankee go home!" but there's just too many ways that could be interpreted with this picture... :-)
Twisters comes out on Friday, we saw Quiet Place Day One, I didn't like it but Zach did (He is still in Canada btw) I would wait to take Ben to Twisters. You two will probably like that one better. 😀
Very happy you’re having a great time in Canada, it looks incredible. I’d definitely recommend watching Eddie the Eagle as it’s a good movie and more or a lighthearted film than the others.
That’s so awesome to hear. Maybe you should prerecord some content for the Holidays, so you can take off December.
I'll be visiting Paris to see a few Olympic events, so good to get in the mood. Looking forward to the Godzilla movies. -1 was one of my favorite movies from last year.
Minus one is the best movie of 2023. I love Paris, enjoy and have a great time. Wish I could be there for the Olympics
No apology needed Cassie ! Take a well deserved time off.
"Hey Hey Eh Eh!" Today I realized that Canadian Neil Young was actually singing: "Eh, eh, my my, rock and roll can never die." "I took a deep breath and break, now I feel so genuinely excited to be back in the bed" I'll have to use that. "Now that I took a break, I'm ready to go back to bed." :-)
How's your little sister and Matt?
I love "this is where I leave you" love casting and the life moment
YAY I am excited
I didn't know you were stay up in Canada all month. You have already been there two weeks? I think.
YOU HAVE TO WATCH EDDIE THE EAGLE! amazing movie that tugs the heart strings. Would be great for you and Carly
+vote on doing the 4th place Eddie the eagle. The rest will be a first watch for me too.
I, Tonya.....seriously took 3rd in the poll?....Lol. Looking forward to most of the upcoming additions. Glad you and the family are having such a well needed break and me time. I've recently moved closer to family again and couldn't be happier.
Please, please, please watch Eddie the Eagle and, when you do, have Carly watch it with you. You will love it. I’d like to suggest that you also watch The World’s Fastest Indian. It would make a great two-fer with Eddie the Eagle. Both are wonderfully inspirational true stories.
I have not seen I Tonya, looking forward to seeing all three. Glad you are enjoying your family time. These times are always precious.
Going to see twisters this Saturday. I didn't see a quiet place because theaters are notoriously NOT quiet. I'm going to wait and watch that one at home in a week or so
Godzilla Minus One ????? Did I read that right ????? Only "The Searchers" could make me happier. Hopefully Carly can join in on that one. Good day, eh !!!
I do believe Carly will be there for G -1.0! Squee!!
While I like Munich... I think it's a great film... I don't think it's an "olympic" film. Sure the opening happens at the Olympics and it's a big moment in Olympic history but it's not about that. Also I expect the youtube comments to be REAL REAL REAL ugly. so yeah please also watch Eddie the Eagle. It's a REAL good time.
You deserve the time off. So glad you and your family are having a great time.
I was just on YouTube and was happy to see you now have a 401K. It's never too early. :-P
Her 401K will help fund her 401k! ;)
