Upcoming...
Hey guys, how you hanging? Me? by a thread? Not actually but I am counting down the days until October is over. I love Halloween but also love when it's over! It was fun this week to throw a Halloween party for friends though. Not one of them knew who we were but I can count on you guys for that!!
Anyways!!
We are officially done Scary But Not Too Scary (TM) movies over here! In fact we are getting Big Fish this week which was our trivia winner's pick! I also posted two Tender November Polls (pre and post 1970) so go vote on both of those!
I am planning on a sequels poll and a Cassie Picks poll this month as well!
Ok in other big news! Carly and I are launching a podcast TODAY!!! WHAT!? I know! We are anxiously excited and I think it will be fun. You can check out the first two episodes early right now for free on our Popcorn TO GO patreon HERE! It will go totally public this evening on youtube and wherever you listen to your pods where you can always listen for free. Patreon is just for some extra perks n things.
I want to assure you that things will continue totally as normal here! This is my one true bed you know?!
Also wanted to let you know that October YT edits are going to leak into November a bit. This week will be Haunting of Hill House episodes 3-10 on YT and SAW! The following week will be What Lies Beneath, Cabin in the Woods and Big Fish! All good things all good things.
Ok I think that's a big fat update so thanks as always for listening to my blah blah blah! May your week be filled with cute trick or treaters and lots of Reese's!
Love Cassie

completely not related to the other films you’ve been watching recently but i’m BEGGING, you need to watch First Wives Club with Carly

I'm assuming we'll be getting back into the last three Star Trek TNG movies sometime in November and December as well. Maybe hit the three reboot (Kelvin Timeline) movies after the new year?
In Canada Rembrance Day the 11 th as you know and you got American Thanksgiving. So how about War Movies and if you want throw in some Pilgrims.
🙄
I've used a bit of AI software to remove the heart from the picture Cassie posted and uncover the face of her hubby. I can finally reveal that Cassie is married to Tony Romo.
I honestly would love to see Ben on the channel. I bet Ben and Cassie make quite the duo/double act. Now they have the podcast, maybe Ben could make a guest appearance on Popcorn to go?!
Big Fish is really good.
It's one of my favorite films.
Looked fantastic in that costume
And, while it is a bit of a mystery/suspence/sci-fi, I dare say Cassie would call FREQUENCY tender. Perhaps it time to finally watch that one.
I think she would love that movie.
Yeah, so excited for Big Fish
Me too.
I cannot express how excited I am to see your reaction to "Big Fish", if I could have personally picked one movie for you, that would have been the one. Can't wait!
I personally did pick it for her... Well, along with four others. :-)
Sequel time! A Shot In The Dark (Cassie really needs to see a fully unleashed Clouseau) Jaws 2 (better than it's given credit for, plus annoying teenagers get eaten, so it's well fun) Superman 2 (really solid sequel. Far better than the first) Rambo 2 (I don't think Cassie would love it, but it's too iconic to miss) Crocodile Dundee 2 (Cassie and Carly owe us this big time, though the general consensus is that they're keeping it for Australia Day. We WILL take it earlier if they insist) The Godfather 3 (it's not as good as the first two, but Pacino is collossal as a world-weary Michael Corleone) Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (not a sequel to Snatch, but she started with the sequel, so come ahhhhhhhnnn!)
Yes to the original Mad Maxes, Byrd. Very tentatively yes to Hannibal and Red Dragon (they're so good but will make Cassie squirm for 2 hours) and definitely yes to T3.
Heads up for Cassie re the continued wait for Star Trek: First Contact. The way your Trekkies are feeling right now is very similar to how Spock was feeling while under the influence of the Pon Farr. We beseech theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Yes, Heaven forbid they have to wait a week. Everything must bow to their wants.
Been a great month for movies! Happy to return to calmer films next month.
I keep checking for Star Trek First Contact. Hope it's coming soon.
That is a great couples costume idea, you look great! 😂🙌🏻🥳 You're a great Goldie Hawn, one could say you went a bit Overboard...😅🙈
Move over Joe Rogan. Cassie and Carly have the mic now.
Well, I'm very surprised 'Star Trek: First Contact' still not coming down the pike, it'll be 30 days tomorrow since 'Star Trek Generations', either she's all Star Trekked out or she's wants to take her time getting to the remaining movies.
If you listen to the podcast you will hear that she is definitely not Trekked out. It will be soon
I figured out the pictures. Goldie and Kurt.
From the movie Overboard.
Since October is almost over and some here are writing it off already, I’d like to say a few things that I (and likely other horror fans) would like to see next year. This isn’t meant to be combative or “whining”as some of our detractors are fond of saying, but instead is meant to be a constructive critique of this year’s Halloween month. If we continue Trick and Treat polls or some variation of them I would hope the Trick polls would consist of real horror films and not action or comedies standing in for them. They don’t have to be the scariest ones, just real ones. As for the Treat polls I don’t really care much what goes in them as they’re mostly irrelevant to me. But it would be nice if one the polls were older horror films - pre-80’s - as most of these films are not really scary.
Richard, I completely agree with you about the Treat poll including older films. The Universal Monsters, the Val Lewton thrillers, and various 50's monster films would be appropriate. My wish list remains to be Nosferatu, The Ring, Night of the Living Dead, and The Blair Witch Project. Overall, it was an average-to-above average October. There are still plenty of good horror movies for Cassie to watch.
Alas, Nosferatu will have to wait another year. Unless Cassie chooses to watch it in December before the re-make arrives. Onward and Upward. Cassie, when does The Planet of the Apes series reacting begin?
I see an upcoming Christmas movie! And Black Christmas for New Years.
cassie, despite being a big fan of yours, i was very skeptical of the podcast and how the success of teh rxn channel would translate to a dialogue-based medium. i just finished all 4 original episodes and I am very impressed! i was thoroughly entertained. the charm and personality shines through. I wish you and car all teh best iwth this! you guys are so fun and funny.
As for the costumes, the 2 of you are either Santa and Mrs. Claus or... Kate Hudson.
Close. Kate Hudson's mom Goldie.
was teh podcast originally supposed to be called popcorn after bed?
Yes! We changed it last minute :)
Love the costume
Overboard
Why is Dr. McCoy covered in food?
Ah yes, Tender November.....I can feel my cojones shrinking. 😆
Real men also cry.
Is Ben dressed as Mrballen?... IS Ben MrBallen?
HaHa....that's an awesome costume idea 🎃
Happy Halloween! Skelly needs some meat on his bones. Har har. Thanks for indulging us this month...very thoughtful of you.
Man, that appetizer spread looks a little...Bare Bones!!! Happy early Halloween everyone!
Not when it was first served!
Awesome costume!
Cassie and Carly's Pod cast channel on You Tube : https://www.youtube.com/@PopcornToGo
Done! Thanks
Overboard! That was such a great movie - you guys are the first I’ve seen dressed as them for Halloween. Perfect idea!
You know the toughest part of that pic was her trying to keep a straight face
Cabin in the woods got nothing on EVil Dead trilogy. That's the movie that started it all. but ok whatever. I hate October ending cos it's back to boring-ass movies in november.. Everyday is Halloween for horror fans. We go mental in october
They def could've watched Friday the 13th first at least. Last year would've been perfect for that. Actual Friday the 13th before Halloween.
Ahhhh!!!...sequels. Fine, how about Leonard part 6 (1987) or Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo (1970) or The Road Warrior (1981) or Bride of Frankenstein (1935). OK, Leonard isn't a sequel, but it is named "part 6" so...?
LEONARD PART 6 is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Actually went to the theater for that one as a kid
The 'Big Fish' react id going to be wonderful - (hoping Carly's along for that one).
I'd love it if Carly joined her for that one.
Yes Big Fish! Finally a Tim Burton movie that Cassie is absolutely sure to love.
I've been saying this for a long time. :-)
Damn, I was hoping you’d pick ‘Midnight Run’ from Stick’s recommendations. It would’ve been a great one after October. It’s Planes, Trains, and Automobiles-esque.
I would have been fine with that too. :-)
Sweet. A sequel poll. Grumpier Old Men would be a perfect choice for the Tender November theme. Blade 2 would be a great one but Scary But Not Too Scary has come and gone. Matrix Revolutions would be ideal. That one's very long overdue. US Marshals would be a good one. An unofficial sequel to The Fugitive centered on Tommy Lee Jones' character and his squad. Also starring Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr. A Shot In The Dark. Sequel to The Pink Panther. You will laugh your A$$ off. Crocodile Dundee 2. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Batman Returns. Predator 2. Alien 3. (Personal picks. Opinions will vary).
I still want her to watch SUPERMAN 2 (the theatrical version).
Awesome costumes Cassie! Really well done! But I would have bet one months mortgage that you and Ben were going to go as Baby and Johnny from Dirty Dancing. Maybe next year. Congrats on the launch of Popcorn to Go! Can’t wait to check it out! The PIB brand continues to grow!
Yeah I got that way wrong too. Whoops.
Costume looks great, but your personality fits closer to Goldie Hawn later in the movie,
I debated on whether to say something or not but it ultimately kind of felt weird to leave a community after a few years without some kind of farewell (even if no one notices or cares). I may not have always agreed with others take here, but I did enjoy the conversations that have been had (regardless whether I was part of those conversations or not). I wish you all well in the upcoming holidays and beyond. Good night and goodbye. -Mario
Not sure if it’s my place to say anything, but your post seems very sad and distraught. Hope everything is okay.
Hey Cassie, hope the rest of your October is fun and stress free. Some suggestions for November Polls: *Six Days, Seven Nights (Harrison Ford) *The Secret Of My Success (Michael J. Fox) *One Fine Day (George Clooney) *The Majestic (Jim Carrey) *Kate & Leopold (Hugh Jackman & Meg Ryan) *Cocktail (Tom Cruise) *Where The Heart Is (Natalie Portman) *Nine Months (Robin Williams, Hugh Grant, Julianne Moore) *Love Potion No. 9 (Sandra Bullock) *The Truth About Cats & Dogs (Uma Thurman) *Bed Of Roses (Christian Slater) *Look Who's Talking (John Travolta & Kirstie Alley) *Now and Then (Christina Ricci, Demi Moore, Rita Wilson, Melanie Griffith) *Yours, Mine and Ours (Lucille Ball) *South Pacific *Three Men and a Little Lady (same cast) *Flashdance *Some Kind Of Wonderful (80's Romance) *Indian Summer (Bill Paxton, Diane Lane, Alan Arkin, Elisabeth Perkins) (late entry Recommendation) It's a large list but I hope it helps with some ideas
I said it before and I’ll say it again…great list Katie. And once again, I hope you don’t mind me riding your coat tails, but so many of your suggestions are on my Tender November list. I’d just like to add in a few more. -She’s Having a Baby - Chances Are - Tootise - Heaven Can Wait - Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - He Said, She Said - Regarding Henry And since you recommended last Upcoming but didn’t put it on your list this time, I’m going to add it for you…Indian Summer (it looks really good, and I plan on watching it some time this week).
Great costumes! That's was a good movie too. Happy Halloween! 👻🎃
Cassie will so love Big Fish. She better bring tissues.
Yeah, I mentioned that in my comment as well. Whether they be tears of joy or tears of sadness (or possibly both), tissues will definitely handy during a viewing of BIG FISH.
Continues patiently waiting for First Contact.
That's a great costume choice, you pull off Goldie well, however I think her early on mean spirited attitude might be hard for you to pull off. Cannot wait for the finish of Hill House and to see how you felt about it at the end.
Love this news! Joined!!
"Not one of them knew who we were." I can't blame them, if Ben completely covers his face with a huge heart! I'm looking forward to Big Fish. Good luck with the podcast. "Hey guys, how you hanging? Me? by a thread" Here's your fellow Canuck Norm Macdonald's classic moth joke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJN9mBRX3uo
I am also looking forward to BIG FISH (obviously).
I'm glad at least one of us has had a good October, work has been kicking my butt this entire month, I couldn't even finish enjoying my tradition of watching one horror movie per day like I do every October, that's how out of it I was! If there is anything positive that did come out of this month, it would be my attending to Son of Monsterpalooza and your reactions to Underworld and Blade! I'm so bummed you didn't get to react to Van Helsing, oh well, there's always next year or anytime rather! Van Helsing, like The Mummy, is one of those movies you can enjoy anytime of the year, I just choose Halloween because it's appropriate for the season lol! On Halloween night, I will be watching your reaction to one of my favorite horror movies, Sleepy Hollow lol! Nice costume Cassie, you nailed that look from Overboard, Goldie Hawn has got nothing on you lol 😁🥰 I'm guessing Ben is Kurt Russell's character, I can't remember the name lol! Hope you have a great week and a fun and safe Halloween coming up! Love and support always, you and Carly are the best, and God bless y'all and the family 🥰😇🙏😁🤗😉👍✌️🌹
I'm pretty certain you'll love Big Fish (2004), I saw that film when it was first released in 2004. I always thought it to be one of Tim Burton's best films. Please watch Ed Wood (1994) one day!!!
I agree. I'm tempted to call it Tim Burton's best movie (although ED WOOD is another contender). I love it and have suspected for a while that Cassie would too. Hence my submitting it. I'm pleased that she chose it (although, honestly, would have been fine with whichever one she picked).
Big Fish will be a cool watch. I graduated high school with Matt McGrory who played Karl the (no spoilers).
You knew Karl??? :-O
In one of your horror polls (Trick poll on September 30th) you listed Invasion of the Body Snatchers and listed the year as 2000. It was pointed out repeatedly in the comments that no such movie existed from 2000, and since there are a couple versions of a movie with that title from other years (1956 and 1978), people were confused and didn't vote for it. But in those comments I saw people say repeatedly that you had announced you were going to watch the 1978 version already so nobody should worry about it. What happened with that? I and many others would have voted for the 1978 version of that movie if that was what you meant when you put it in the poll. I feel like it should be put back in future polls if that's what the error was.
I wasn't there for the live watchalong, but I'm guessing you probably didn't enjoy CABIN IN THE WOODS much. I think it's a very smart, very clever and at times very funny satirical horror movie myself, but I suspect you were so invested in the outcome of the poor innocent teens' plight that the self-aware digs at the scary movie tropes (much like SCREAM) wasn't much fun for you. Plus, that ending! On the one hand it's a very bold, provocative and darkly humorous one, but I could see you being very dissatisfied with it. I'm honestly surprised it won the poll. It's worth seeing, but I personally wouldn't have picked it for you. Anyway, I'm very curious to watch that reaction. An ending that I suspect you will be satisfied with though is HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE. I know it's been a rough ride for you, but it's all building to that last one and I'm confident that you will find that it was all worth it. It was for me. I loved it. It moved me to tears (as Mike Flanagan's stuff tends to do). Can't wait to see that reaction as well. But the reaction I am most excited about this week is obviously BIG FISH as it was one of my five submissions for winning the trivia night. I know you've had a spotty record with Tim Burton, but I (and a lot of other people who have also recommended it) have long believed that this is one of his films that you will just love. I am even tempted to call it his best movie (although ED WOOD is another contender). I won't say anything about the tone, the story or the genre of it... except to say that you should probably have tissues handy. Really looking forward to this week. Hope you have a happy Halloween. Those are great costumes. Best of luck with the podcast. :-)
All the best with the new podcast, Cassie. I really hope Saw (2004) was NOT too traumatising for you. I personally don't think you should put any Saw sequels in the sequel poll. They are basically the Friday 13th movies of today, a never-ending stream of gory sequels. I remember a vintage Siskel & Ebert clip of Gene Siskel reviewing a Friday 13th sequel "Friday 13th: The Final Chapter (1984), I sure hope so but I doubt it!"... Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985) was then made and released just a year later!
Mrs. Popcorn is living La Dolce Vita!
Teri Garr died today, one of her movies would be great. Off the top of my head I don't know if you've seen those...Tootsie, Mr Mom, Let it Ride, Close Encounters..
Seconding Mr Mom
Big Fish will be such an interesting watch! Big congratulations to Stick Figures for getting it watched. More eclectic Tim Burton movies are always an event. I too am so glad that October and scary movies are about to be over. I watched more of them than I thought I would, I enjoyed October more than I thought I would, but enough is enough! 😄
Thanks. :-) Obviously I'm looking forward to it too and have been for a long time.
Big Fish is 💯 So looking forward to it!
Me too.
Hilarious 😆
Cassie, love your costume as Goldie Hawn from Overboard. You look fantastic!! 🍿💍
I didn't care for Big Fish when I saw it as a 24-year-old. After losing my parent over the years, I've come to appreciate it and get choked up a la Field of Dreams at the ending. Charming movie.
I saw it in the theater with my dad and we both loved it immediately (he did especially because -- without giving anything away -- the penultimate scene basically happened to him when he was in his twenties). I've only grown more fond of it over the years. I think it is quite possibly Tim Burton's best film.
Listening to the first podcast episode now! So fun! Already loving it.
Carly would LOVE Big Fish I think. It's such a sweet movie.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on "Big Fish". Btw...why does it look like you're standing with MrBallen (great channel too)?
Oh good. I wasn't the only one whose mind went there first 😄
Great costume! 😄
Amazing costume. Good job!
