Upcomingatcha!
Happy Fall All!!
Hope you had a great week! Ours was actually pretty uneventful, which was very nice for a change. My parents are coming to visit this week which we are so excited about. They are coming for the peaches and apples here, we are a nice bonus haha! September is going 300mph and I’m going to need the temps to drop (just a little) so I can fully enjoy it.
This week we have the official end to our TNG show journey, trying to decide if I could squeeze one of the movies in before Scary but not too Scary October! We also have our Runner Up Poll winners-Hot Fuzz (go Benji) and The Highlander (Hey, I did love OUTlander?!)
We will have a Halloween Poll coming this week already?! See? September is practically over, time for Halloween and Thanksgiving!! MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody!!
To review-Patreon Pop Quiz Trivia will be 9/30
Thanks for the awesome poster Dave

Hope you all have the best week, may you have lots of fall soup and lots of fall adjacent movies/tv!!
Oooh actually tell me and all of us in the comments what are your fav cozy fall-adjacent movies/tv! I’m basic and love Gilmore Girls every fall! And When Harry Met Sally, Remember the Titans, I’ll definitely be rewatching Practical Magic and October Sky!
Love your socks off,
Cassie

Interstellar is on Netflix just fyi. So is Due Date for that matter
For a Halloween type Star Trek TNG episode I would recommend S7E19 "Genesis"
If you plan on watching Transformers One on this channel in the future, then you should watch some, if not all, of season one and two of the original cartoon from the 80's. And then you HAVE to watch the 1986 movie on the channel. Watch the movie before watching season 3.
You could do a reaction to the Lonesome Dove miniseries now that TNG is over.
Please no more Star Trek
At least spread them out a bit. Maybe one a month? It took about a year to get reactions to all 4 Lethal Weapons.
Cassie, are you going to watch episodes from all the Star Trek Series? Deep Space 9, Voyager, and Enterprise?
Hugh Jackman’s “Van Helsing” would be a not so scary movie.
I would also recommend "Dracula Untold"
Will this Halloween be the year Cassie finally watches The Fly?
She's hinted that it is on the schedule.
I think you should include Carly in your October Sky rewatch.
Haloween Movies: Happy Death Day 1 & 2 Freaky Totally Killer All scary, but also funny.
🤞 Carly watches highlander
There can be only one! 😂 Cue the Queen music.
Pitch Black would make a good candidate for October's Scary but not too Scary, well, actually... quite scary entry.
Pretty soon, she'll be running out of "not too scary" movies cos 99% of horror stuff aren't fitting that quote!
Super excited about Hot Fuzz! Also, BTW, just watched the full length reaction to The Grand Budapest Hotel…great reaction to a great movie! @Cassie-check out Royal Tennenbaums, a fantastic Wes Anderson film.
Haven't seen that vid yet. Is that the only Wes Anderson on the channel?
Soon Star Trek Generations!
really hoping for star trek deep space nine now TNG is done
Oh we will hound her until she does. But as Djimon Hounsou says in Gladiator: "Not yet.....not yet."
PiB - ya gotta watch "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"! Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!
A genuinely funny film! She'll love it.
October halloween movies: Chucky, Clockwork Orange, Hellraiser, Friday the 13th, nightmare on elm street 2-5, Exorcist (I don't care if she refuses, it's mandatory), REC, The Craft, The Descent.
That poster has to get sold on the merch site! HAHA
Fingers crossed that Carley watches Hot Fuzz with you.
If you enjoyed Remember the Titans, I recommend the true story We Are Marshall as well!
She's seen that one.
What a fantastic week's lineup! My fall movies tend to be Halloween movies. Hocus Pocus, The Haunted Mansion, that kind of thing.
Star Trek First Contact would be great for Halloween season
Yes, nothing says Halloween like Star Trek. And for next Valentine's Day we can watch 2001: A Space Odyssey.
My autumn must watch list each year is feel-good cozy films: Dan In Real Life, Mystic Pizza, You've Got Mail, Over The Garden Wall, Juno, Penelope, The Village, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Edward Scissorhands, Wolfwalkers, Mona Lisa Smile, and Practical Magic.
Edward Scissorhands and Practical Magic are on the channel if you haven't seen them yet.
Highlander!!!! At last!!!! OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!
For movies that are Fall adjacent, I thought of the leaves on the trees in Rivendell in the Fellowship of the Ring. Then I guess I would think of the pumpkins in the first few Harry Potter movies, and Leatherheads (another sports movie you should watch).
When you watch Hot Fuzz, just try to keep in mind that it is meant to be over the top, as it is meant to make fun of action cop movies.
I don't have a favorite Fall Movie. I do have a Halloween Tradition of watching Scary Movies. Not movies that are intentionally scary, but rather movies whose very notion of having to watch it scares me. "Glitter" "Crossroads" I once watched the entire "Twilight" Saga straight in a single sitting. I dreaded having to do that all month. I am not a Girly Girl.
That Glitter press tour was insanity. Mariah had to go to sleep for six months after.
It's winter turning into spring here, so October has different vibes... but despite that I don't think I rewatch movies based on the season... I usually just go to old faithful comedies or action or the best of both worlds, action/comedies.
Is her copy of Highlander Theatrical or Director's? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the streaming and physical releases in the US are both Director's. I just wanted to get prepped. Thanks!
Brian, if the director’s cut is the one with the restored World War 2 scene than that is the version currently streaming on Amazon Prime. Most times that is the version used, but that is not certain.
Is Hotfuzz going to be a solo react?
The thumbnail for the movie doesn’t have “with Carly” on it, so I’m assuming it will be just Cassie.
Usually I'll watch The Cowboys 1972. Having John Wayne say the line "Summer's Over" always put me in that pre fall like mood. I hope Dracula 1931 will be on the list for halloween. Another great one I think you would enjoy is the halloween comedy Ernest Scared Stupid 1991. It was my hocus pocus film, that I grew up with, and still watch it every year. Thank you again, and glad all is well Cassie.
"The Cowboys" would be a good one. Bruce Dern was great.
School of Rock is my early fall/back-to-school tradition. And of course, I also celebrate Bilbo's birthday on Sept. 22 with The Fellowship of the Ring.
Mystic Pizza is an excellent Autumn movie - one of Julia Roberts' first movies that I think you and Carly would both really love. It's about sisters, romance and pizza!
Julia Roberts is a fall kind of actress somehow. I think it's because her hair looks like the seasons changing.
Movies that start with H for $100, Alex. This 2016 film stars Chris Pine, Ben Foster and Jeff Bridges. What is Hell or High Water, Alex? Correct. Pick again.
Since the reaction to Batman: Mask of the Phantasm was a while ago, is there any plans / hope that the Batman animated movies will continue?
I've watched Remember the Titans many times. Love October Sky. That is an awesome poster by Dave. Looking forward to the TNG series finale. Looking forward to Highlander (1986). May not have aged the greatest but I have nostalgia for Highlander (1986).
Just noticed the Shining twins taunting her in the background. That's a nice touch.
As for October, and one Carly could definitely watch....Once Bitten with Jim Carrey before he was "Jim Carrey"....love that movie along with the original Fright Night. One that I remember thinking was pretty scary growing up was Children of the Corn
She won't watch Children of the Corn, Joel. She has a mild panic attack every time she sees a corn field in a movie and always mentions that one by way of explanation.
St Elmo's Fire, Hoosiers, You've Got Mail, One Fine Day, Up Close & Personal.......and I will admit a guilty pleasure tv movie series. Halloweentown.
Demi Moore has really been making the rounds on press tours lately and she's talked a ton about St. Elmo's Fire. That was her very first movie. She still looks amazing. Even better than when she was young.
The Mist would be a nice october reaction.
Such a good movie…but it will have Cassie watching half of it from behind her blanket.
I can't remember if this is a Thanksgiving movie, or Christmas movie, but Planes, Trains and Automobiles would be fun.
It is Thanksgiving, and she has already reacted to it.
Hot Fuzz is awesome! One of my all-time favorites, hope you love it, and looking forward to seeing the video!
Hi Cassie, great line up. Can’t wait for Hot Fuzz. As you have watched Shaun of the dead, you might as well do the whole Cornetto trilogy and watch “The worlds End” although as I’ve said before, I think out of all the Simon Peggy/nick frost comedies you would enjoy “Paul” the most. More trek as well! Dead poet’s society I think is a Autumnal movie. But you may have seen that one? I also need to do another shout out for “Duel” with October round the corner. It’s well suited to scary but not to scary!
Dead Poet’s Society! An excellent fall film.
anyone from the U.K. old enough to remember The Magic Roundabout?
Alas, yes. I miss those 5 minute fillers before and after the News.
Hot Fuzz? Hot Damn!
ELECTION (1999) is a very autumnal movie starring Reese Witherspoon. 7.2 on IMDB
YES. I love that movie so much. It's passed time for an Alexander Payne on the channel.
Hot Fuzz is a fun watch. I think you will enjoy it more than Shaun of the Dead. Highlander is entertaining as well
She didn't seem to take to Shaun of the Dead that well. I wonder if Carly will join for the reaction to Hot Fuzz.
I think other than the ones you named, my favorite Fall Adjascent Movie™ is HANNAH AND HER SISTERS. I know some people are not fans of Woody Allen personally, but this is a brilliant movie that takes place over successive Thanksgiving gatherings at Hannah's home. The cast is also phenomenal with prime Michael Caine, Max Von Sydow, Barbara Hershey, a decidedly non-Princess Leia Carrie Fisher, the incredible Diane Wiest and "Old Hollywood" star Maureen O'Sullivan. Daniel Sten shows up for about 5 minutes and absolutely owns a scene, and Mr. Allen provides shots much-needed albeit angsty comic relief. Oh, and mid-1980s New York City should've received a "best supporting actor" nomination. The most amazing thing is the movie was shot on the budget more aligned with indie films but the construction, cinematography and score are collectively amazing. And Cassie, you will LOVE the ending.
That trademark had me laughing way too hard. lol
Cozy movie? “Private Eyes” (1980), starring comedy legends Don Knotts and Tim Conway as two inspectors from Scotland Yard assigned to solve the murders of Lord and Lady Morley. It would be perfect for a Carly watch along during Scary But Not Too Scary. Think “Clue” with the silliness of “Young Frankenstein.”
Don Knotts is a screen god!
Cassie: please please please have Carly join you for HIGHLANDER. In this rare instance, there can be only two.
Carly reacting to Highlander would be ... interesting!
"Upcomingatcha!" Gesundheit! If you want a fall-adjacent movie, then surely Falling Down (1993)! :-P Happy New Year.
Dark.
I’m psyched to not just see you wrap up Star Trek: TNG with the varied Season 7 episodes and series finale; but I’m also excited to see your reaction to Highlander. This was a film that really came in under the radar and achieved cult status with its storytelling, its sword fighting, and the iconic music from Freddie Mercury and Queen.
It's great that even though they live in the frozen north you still get to see your parents so often. I don't really watch anything based on the season or holidays. I just watch movies when I feel like it. I thought about what to recommend anyway but "cozy" isn't really my genre. I'll recommend Legend (1985 with Tom Cruise). It's a light and classic fairytale and one of his first starring roles. You drew it from a pillowcase a couple years ago but it was only a maybe not an official popcorn promise.
That's actually super cozy. Especially the director's cut. It's hypnotic. And Loved by the Sun is really calming.
Quite the lineup you got going on! Can't wait for HOT FUZZ, that's a good one, most especially I can't wait for HIGHLANDER that is a classic "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE" so iconic lol, and no Cassie it has no relation to OUTLANDER lol! Sorry, but I won't be attending the trivia game night, seems like I can never catch a break joining in on that lol, I don't think I'll be able to make it for the LIVE either, I'll be at work all day, but I might drop by during a break or whatnot! I'm glad Summer is finally coming to an end, I used to like Summer a lot but that was when I was back in school, nowadays I hate it because of the heat! Because of my minor asthma I can't breathe well in heat, which is why I love the cold of Winter, I breathe a whole lot better! I can't really say what movies I like to watch most in Fall/Winter, other than when ever Halloween rolls around, I watch at least one Horror movie per day (the ones that I like that don't scare me lol) starting with the 8 classic Universal Monster movies (one per day) that being DRACULA (1931) then I end it on Halloween by watching SLEEPY HOLLOW, my all time favorite horror movie ever! I'm more into Gothic horror (i.e. Vampires, Werewolves, the Frankenstein Monster, etc.) rather than Supernatural or Slasher horror! And of course I'm a Giant Movie Monster fan (i.e. GODZILLA) lol! Speaking of which I so hope for this Halloween season, you and Carly will finally react to one of my favorites, VAN HELSING, I think you two will enjoy it and it's the perfect "Scary, but not to scary" movie for you two to watch, it's directed by the same guy who did THE MUMMY & THE MUMMY RETURNS, infact the movie does give off some mummy vibes when watching it lol, and of course it stars Hugh Jackman, plus you and Carly have the matching shirts I got you for the occasion lol! Loved your DEADPOOL 2 reaction, so hilarious! Love and support, have a good Tuesday, can't wait for Halloween season! I turn 36 this coming Sunday lol! God bless y'all and the family, you and Carly are the best 🥰😇🙏🤗😁😉👍✌🌹
The Universal Classic Monsters are some of my favorites. She did the Frankenstein; I am still waiting for the Bride of Frankenstein.
How about Interstellar extra butter watchalong
I will second that!
Whenever you decide to watch the Star Trek TNG films, I just hope you budget some time for self-care after you watch Nemesis... (that's all i'm gonna say about that)
You know, I'm not worried about that. Cassie has proved throughout the episodes (at least a couple of which were borderline mediocre) that she just loves hanging out with the crew. She'll enjoy Nemesis even if it is the Cooper Manning of Star Trek movies.
You've Got Mail is a good one.
Agree
I think “The Hand that Rocks the Cradle” might be an option for a scary, not too scary that Carly could handle.
How about, Sleeping with the Enemy?
As for other non-horror fall movie suggestions, sorry, fall means horror movies to me.
How about Pumpkinhead? Pumpkins = Fall and Halloween.
Plan 9 From Outer Space 🤪
I like to watch the LOTR and Hobbit movies each fall,
They do an Autumn feel about them don't they?
Good lineup this week. I love fall. Some of my go to fall movies are Dead Poets Society, Friday Night Lights, October Sky, Mystic Pizza, it’s terribly sad, but I enjoy Autumn in New York. Looking forward to scary, but not too scary October. Now I have to go find my socks 😁
Dead Poets! Thrice yes!
Halloween poll? I hope Saw is not on there. That wouldn't be fair to put it on a poll after it was announced to be watched (eventually).
Cassie has such a back log of promised horror movies she could practically do Halloween without a poll.
Cassie: I'd love for you to watch some older silent films. NOSFERATU and THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI come to mind. NOSFERATU is being remade and coming our for Christmas, believe it or not.
This will be the second remake. The first was Nosferatu the Vampyre (79) starring Klaus Kinski.
Favorite fall movie, besides horror ones, namely ‘Halloween’? I’d definitely say ‘Meet The Parents’! It just screams fall break (idk if you have that in the states). ‘Knives Out’ is another one, the aesthetic is beautiful. Hoping for a great October schedule. 2021 was a great start, 22 was a dud, let’s be honest, last year was a good comeback. Let’s keep pushing the envelope even if it’s just a little.
I like ‘Meet The Parents’
HIGHLANDER!!!! YES!!!! Oh happy, happy day! What a joyous day!
I’m No Horror Film Connoisseur, but I know when I’ve been scared or creeped out by a film, and still had fun with the experience. And maybe there are some films here that I JUST had fun with, and that had a Scary and Creepy setting, which I believe still works for Halloween. IMO, October doesn’t have to be completely “Dark Trembling Fear and Disgust” all the time. We can take a break from that, at least 2 or 3 times, right? Either way here is a Big List. Did Not Include The Fly (1986) or Saw (2004), because I’m sure everyone else is not going to let Cassie forget them. They will certainly make for Awesome Reactions. ;-) 5 From 1930s… Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) The Old Dark House (1932) Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) Mark of the Vampire (1935) The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) 5 From 1940s… Rebecca (1940) The Wolf Man (1941) Cat People (1942) Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) Dead of Night (1945) 5 From 1950s… Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954) The Bad Seed (1956) Curse of the Demon (1957) The Fly (1958) House on Haunted Hill (1959) 5 From 1960s… Village of the Damned (1960) The Innocents (1961) The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) Quatermass and the Pit (1967) Night of the Living Dead (1968) 5 From 1970s… The Stepford Wives (1975) The Omen (1976) Dawn of the Dead (1978) Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) The Amityville Horror (1979) 13 From 1980s… Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983) Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) Gremlins (1984) Night of the Comet (1984) Fright Night (1985) The Hitcher (1986) Night of the Creeps (1986) The Monster Squad (1987) Near Dark (1987) The Witches of Eastwick (1987) The Blob (1988) Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) They Live (1988) 13 From 1990s… Predator 2 (1990) The Witches (1990) Matinee (1993) Wolf (1994) Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995) From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) An American Werewolf in Paris (1997) Event Horizon (1997) I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) Scream 2 (1997) Blade (1998) The Blair Witch Project (1999) Lake Placid (1999) 10 From 2000s… Final Destination (2000) What Lies Beneath (2000) Frailty (2001) Below (2002) The Mothman Prophecies (2002) The Descent (2005) The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) Death Proof (2007) Paranormal Activity (2007) Planet Terror (2007) 10 From 2010s… Insidious (2010) The Cabin in the Woods (2011) The Thing (2011) The Conjuring (2013) It Follows (2014) Split (2016) Happy Death Day (2017) Summer of 84 (2018) Ready or Not (2019) The Vast of Night (2019) Bonus: 10 Stephen King films… Carrie (1976) Creepshow (1982) Cujo (1983) The Dead Zone (1983) Cat’s Eye (1985) Silver Bullet (1985) Maximum Overdrive (1986) Needful Things (1993) 1408 (2007) The Mist (2007) Or… The Stand (1994) (6hr.

Interesting list, many I agree with, some I don't, some I don't even consider horror. But I don't consider any decades list that doesn't have Horror of Dracula ('58 starring Christopher Lee) complete. :-)
Some Fall Movie Suggestions before we get into Spooky Movies: *Indian Summer *Mystic Pizza *The Craft *One Fine Day
+1 for One Fine Day. Almost as if it was made for her.
By the way…love the poster for Trivia Night! Your air guitar pose is awesome! Great job on that, Dave!
Knew that still would be useful the second I saw it. Lol. Pretty sure it was from Bill and Ted.
Just a suggestion: maybe instead of squeezing in a Star Trek movie reaction, you could watch the special Family Guy reunion episode of the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Just a suggestion, it's your channel!
One thousand percent on board with that.
It's time to change Scary But Not too Scary to Scary and Maybe Even Scarier, considering the movies Cassie watched last Halloween.
If she watches The Fly, that will take care of the entire month's quota of scary.
YES!!!! HOT FUZ. Too bad its a solo time, but your gonna loveish it
Its a shame she can't have an English watching buddy for movies like that to explain some of the context. Though most non-Brits seem to get most of the jokes, so its not necessary - just might be fun.
Can't wait for the Trek season finale and Highlander. Also, for October, has anyone suggested The Blair Witch Project? Unless Cassie's already seen it, that would be an interesting reaction I think.
I think people just assume that one's not going to happen for some reason.
The classic monster movies peaked with "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein"
Nah. that's where they bottomed out. The studio pushed the sequels to the point where they weren't making money anymore, so they decided to make a joke out of them. The classic monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, etc.) didn't recover till Hammer films brought them back in the late 50's
Wow I haven't seen any of these movies. But I see a kilt and a sword with lightning so that's cool. I think my quintessential fall movie is Scent of a Woman for some reason. I think that's always kind of been my fantasy of NYC in November. Also Upcomingatcha is a rad title for a post. Sounds like something I've literally texted someone and they were like 'tha f-- you trying to say to me?' Lol. But I know. And now I know you know. So ready for Super Ultra Scary Halloween and Vaguely Traumatic Experience October!
Scent of a Woman is a great film. It's also one of Cassie's best reactions, therefore a double whammy.
Hey Cassie! Happy Last Official Week of Summer 2024! I had a really nice weekend decorating our porch and front yard for Autumn, even though I swore to myself that I wouldn’t decorate until Summer was officially over. But our local nursery was having an excellent sale on mums (10” hanging baskets, multi-colored, for $15 each!) and I couldn’t pass it up. So here we are. This week’s line up is 50/50 for me. Hot Fuzz will be a lot of fun with plenty of “Oh my goshes” to go around. I’ve never seen Highlander, the trailer and other parts I’ve seen never really appealed to me. But I’ll give it a shot once you’ve reacted to it. I may be pleasantly surprised. Can’t wait for the Halloween poll and Scary But Not Too Scary October! Trivia Night should be a blast…unless I tank big time 🤷♂️. And my favorite fall movie, hands down, is October Sky ( although I watch it at least a half dozen times throughout the year. I was also a huge fan of the tv show Dawson’s Creek, with James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, and Michelle Williams. The new seasons always started in the fall, when school had just started, and it has always remained a fall nostalgic thing for me because it was such a relatable storyline for me. I’ve got my 1 year anniversary coming up as a PIB Patreon member, and I’m so looking forward to my 2nd year with you. Thank you for being you 🙏
She has an October Sky reaction if you haven't seen it yet.
I definitely would like it to cool down a little. We've been in the mid 80's in Michigan for a lot of the week. To warm for my fall vibes😆 I just finished Friday Night Lights (Series) for the first time and I definitely recommend it if you love football or sports movies. It also gives me that fall feel. A great TV Series. I always love to watch Practical Magic(Glad you enjoyed that one so much) so I'll probably just watch the full reaction with you and Carly again. I finally got around and watched Wednesday on Netflix and rewatching The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina for my fall fix. Watching Fire Country too(Which Is Really Good). I definitely would love a Star Trek Movie if you can fit it in the schedule. Can't wait for SPOOKY SEASON🍁🍩🍬🎃🪓
She has pointed out “Tim Riggins” anytime she has seen Taylor Kitsch, lol. Not sure she watched the entire series or not, but she’s definitely familiar with it.
I have a theory about the passage of time From age 0-9, time passes at half speed From 10 – 19, time passes at normal speed From 20 – 29, time passes at two times the speed From 30 – 39, time passes at three times the speed From 40 – 49, time passes at four times the speed And so on and so on, or at least it seems that way. What do you all think?
I remember reading a study once that estimated the perceptual middle of our lives is Age 10.
For some reason I think Dumb and Dumber is a good fall movie and what about Bob is good anytime (a great pib reaction.) Good fall romance movies to me are Sense and sensibility, Remains of the day, wuthering heights, and Gone with the Wind to name a few.
Very much looking forward to the TNG finale!
Me, too. But for different reasons I suspect. :)
So, I see some fall recommendations here, so I'm going to lean more into spooky season recommendations. My top pick that meets both criteria is the 2007 film "Trick 'r Treat." Cassie should find this a fun one, especially considering all the X-Men cast and production team crossover. My second pick is the new 2024 film "Abigail" - just a super fun comic horror genre movie with lots of great comic elements, and an amazing performance by the girl in the title role. In terms of a non-horror but a very fun murder mystery/detective genre autumn-timed film, I recommend "Knives Out." Great cast in this one, including Daniel Craig in a very cool role. My last pick is a cool horror comedy called "Totally Killer" - a very fun classic slasher homage film with a modern sensibility. I've been a huge Kiernan Shipka fan ever since she rocked a lead role in my favorite film of 2017, "The Blackcoat's Daughter" (which I'd LOVE Cassie to react to on the channel), and she's very good as the lead in this film. Autumn and Halloween season are my favorite times of the year, so I'm really looking forward to Cassie's spooky season watches this year.
She's seen Knives Out, unfortunately.
Highlander - "there can be only one" which is ironic because you definitely want to avoid the sequels. Also can we please get "The Fog" (original) on the Halloween poll. Ideal candidate for "not too scary"
Yeah, avoid the sequels.
Here's 2 family-friendly spooky-themed movies for October, which are about horror films without being scary themselves Ed Wood (1994) - 7.8 on IMDB Matinee (1993) - 6.9 on IMDB
'Sigh'
I’m still advocating for a poll of Canadian horror films for Scary But Not Too Scary. Entrants could include: My Bloody Valentine Cube Ginger Snaps Videodrome Black Christmas Pontypool The Changeling …and others.
Black Christmas was actually really influential. Classic. I usually hate mixing the holidays with horror but it really worked in that.
Long journey on the enterprise nearing its end.
Highlander: The best worst movie ever!!
Ok so it's not meant to be taken too seriously. That's good to know. Finally going to see it this week.
"Highlander"...."I did love OUTlander.".......LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!! THAT's FUUUUNNNYYY!!!!! Also...during scary October....you should def try to be on ST First Contact...it's a little scary but not too scary...and you should watch the TNG episode from Season 7 called "Genesis".....that is probably the scariest episode of any Trek ever!
For a moment there, I thought you mean the 1981 film Outland... but nobody loved that movie... or did they?
Favorite cozy Fall movies? THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY (1955), SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (1983) which would be a good Scary but not too Scary nominee, HANNAH AND HER SISTERS (1986).
Is Something Wicked a Disney movie?
Re-watch the Indiana Jones trilogy with Carly in the theatre room 👇
That would be cool
The Neighborhood Watch Alliance were the good guys in Hot Fuzz
A Halloween poll? September isn't finished yet those of who you who are old enough to remember the song September by Earth Wind and Fire. No YouTube video Tomorrow I do my bi-weekly my Medical Vlog which I go through a bunch of medical stuff then I will let YouTube tell a tale the tale of https://photos.app.goo.gl/AFyPL1737XPAMsoeA Before my bi-weekly promotion of this channel. Lots of good news about her Cassie's gifts. My gf and I going to Toronto to watch Taylor Swift in concert and then going to the Chiefs vs Steelers on Christmas Day to watch my Steelers play Travis Kelce and the Chiefs. Caitlin Clark tell me about Taylor and Travis https://youtube.com/shorts/14G1v6IVKis?si=l0SGsI39iJZI_nhK Enough said
Are you Canadian?
“Goodbye, Jean-Luc. I'm gonna miss you. You had such potential. But then again, all good things must come to an end.”
"Love your socks off." What a sign-off phrase 😄
What happens if my socks are already off? Do my feet come off, 'cause that would be horrifying.
Hot Fuzz should be fun. I love that movie.
Honestly, I’m glad fall has arrived because this summer was far too hot for my liking. Aside from a few cooler weeks, temperatures were consistently between 35-42°C (95-108°F for those quirky Americans not using SI standards) for almost all summer since May. We kept breaking records and had more heatwave warnings than I can remember and the longest one in recorded history. This went on until the first weekend of September, with schools even closing early and running half days because classrooms were around 35-38°C (95-100°F). Then, within a few days, temperatures dropped to 5-10°C (40-50°F), and we had 2-3 times the usual amount of rain for September in a couple of days and now expecting one of the biggest floods in 2 decades. Feels like weather is just getting crazier every year. I don't usually have any specific thing I'm used to watching during the fall. It was usually the time to pick up on new seasons and new shows for me before the streaming era. But this year I'm starting to feel in the mood to rewatch PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, the BBC miniseries version, which for some reason I'm mainly associating with fall. Looking forward to HOT FUZZ. Bring on the noise! I have a hunch about it but let's see how the reaction turns out. 😄
The 2005 Joe Wright version is really good.
Ok, did you or did you not say that one of this month's films is going to be Four Weddings and a Funeral? I know there's a couple of weeks left in the month, but I'm on holiday for two weeks from Saturday so I'm getting my reminder in early. You need some light comedy fun after the emotional wedgies you've received recently. As for my fave cozy/fall adjacent movies, here's a few: "The Towering Inferno" (always warms me up on a cold night) "An Officer and a Gentleman" (because this is the fourth fall since you started the channel and you and Carly still haven't seen it) "Cliffhanger" (snow, Stallone and stupendous stuntwork) "The Full Monty" (nothing better for a cool autumn evening than six out-of-work, out-of-shape Sheffield steel workers out-performing the Chippendales) "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (Autumn-bleak but in the effortlessly fun way Guy Ritchie has with his movies. This was the forerunner of "Snatch" and probably a better movie.
Ok, that's two mentions of The Towering Inferno in this weeks comments! Anymore??
Whoa.. Highlander. I have not seen that since college. Not sure how Cassie will react to this but I’m looking forward to finding out!
Can't wait to see Deadpool 2 on here!
Looking forward to a great PIB week! 👍 This week-end was a reunion for former employees of the summer family camp where I worked during school. And, it was so nice, current staff surprised us with videos of our goofy old campfire skits! This was me in school as the emcee for “Chubby Bunny” (This was before Chubby Bunny was banned in most civilized nations). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mITvOefC4zA Yes, I know. My oversized board shorts should also be banned. Thanks Cassie, Popcorn In Bed is like a great family camp. Very welcoming, a great place to connect with people, and a wide variety of fun things to enjoy. 😊 For cozy fall films please try Mystic Pizza (1988) 🍕🍂
Steve, that takes real courage to put you (and your shorts) out there like that for us to see. Who knows, maybe a trivia question one day (Steve's shorts!)😂
Fall movies shows... Let's see well I always kick off the season with Beetlejuice, which I did earlier this month seeing the sequel. Fortune or fate whichever one gave September a Friday the 13th so that film is done. So now, the real nitty gritty of fall aka pre-spooky season: When Harry Met Sally Autumn in New York Stepmom The Age of Adaline Knives Out October Sky Twilight saga And then we do some lighthearted spookies before October actually hits Coco The Book of Life Practical Magic Death Becomes Her Coraline As far as shows go, Gilmore Girls is definitely a perfect pick, currently going through Last of Us again, and the new season of Daryl Dixon comes out in a week or so so that'll be my Walking Dead fix
I know Cassie has seen Twilight, not sure if she's seen all of them. I sure hope so because I'm having trouble thinking of anything I want to see a reaction to less than I'd want to see the Twilight Saga.
Doc Hollywood is definitely a movie you would really enjoy.
Everything looks good coming up! This will be another great week in Popcornland! The series finale is being looked forward to with great anticipation by every Trek fan and with great impatience by everyone else!! In this we are all united! We are all glad to see it! I don't really have fall shows that I watch every year, but there are some Christmas movies I watch every year, and now I have your reactions to most of them. So no recomends on the Fall show front. Still waiting for the occasional Classic Era movie you might watch. Still waiting for the decades polls. Please have a dedicated 30's and 40's polls one day! One fine Popcorn filled day!
I've got questions about your idea for decades polls. Would they be genre specific or open to any genre? And if they're genre specific what genre would that be?
Halloween poll coming up? Can't wait. Hope it has some good, REAL horror films I can vote for.
So happy Fall is here, favorite season, it was 110 degrees last week where I live and it's gonna be 78 today, love it, and a lot to look forward to this week, Hot Fuzz, Highlander, AND TNG, as much as work has been sucking as of late, at least there's Popcorn to look forward to.
After Cassie watched It: Chapter 1 last year I have hope for this year, keeping my fingers crossed.
Yay Halloween poll! I’ve been watching a lot of horror over the summer A24 and Neon have been smashing it! Is 2024 the year we stretch the boundaries a little? Also Hot Fuzz and Highlander, what a week of content! Definitely glad to see the end of the weekly Star Trek content.
Fall for me is all about NFL and the upcoming NHL season. Dan in Real Life is probably my go to fall movie.
I'm probably due for a rewatch of "Dan in real life" so that may happen soon, even though it winter turning into spring where I am.
End of Star trek TNG I'm gonna miss it 😅
We still got 4 tng movies but I keep getting told thats not the same but I think it is. I mean 2 of them are like extended episodes. 😁
This is gonna be a killer week.
Hot Fuzz ❤️
