Upcoming!
This week we have an Extra Butter Live hangout TONIGHT at 7:30. It will probably just be an hour as this week is busy for everyone! I'm excited to hang and chat though! Hope you can make it!
As I mentioned before we will just have two releases this week on Patreon and YT! Finishing TNG movies (tear) and the duck one! ( I can never remember the name, I keep thinking Marvin because of Marvel I think but I know that is wrong!)
Next week we will have our Christmas poll, thank you so much for all of your suggestions on last week's post, I am so glad to know there are still so many good ones I still need to see :)
Also going to be having a Christmas YT LIVE On 12/13 in the evening! Games and giveaways and packages!
Of course in this week of gratitude, I want you to know how thankful I am for each of you and your online friendship. I know I have never met you, but I want you to know how much I value you and how wonderful each of you are. Please be safe this week and remember to be kind!
Cassie
Ps: The Popcorn To Go podcast episode this week was movie milestones and some feedback is that it is the best one yet! Would love for you to give it a listen!

shameless plug for Patrick Stewart in A Christmas Carol…. Make it so #1
I've just rewatched Cassie's reaction to Airplane. Very quotable movie, that one. I'm having a case of the Thanksgiving blues, though. I'm sitting here in my home office (it's a converted shed at the bottom of my garden, but that's not important right now) and I'm aware that you've still not watched An Officer and a Gentleman. Do you think you could put me out of my misery and tell me if you're going to be watching it any time soon? You can tell me, I'm a doctor. What with Son-In-Law and Howard The Duck, it looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines. I'm a little anxious, so I just want you to know, we're all counting on you. I'm not expecting the answer to be yes, but maybe I'm wrong. If it's a no, then..... What a pisser.
Put the poor man out of his misery Cassie!! 😆 Clarence, you got me as about as confused as I will ever be! (Yes, I know that is easy!) You have thanksgiving blues! so now I am questioning my original assumption of your nationality and you are a Doctor, who works in a shed at the bottom of his Garden!🤔🤣
Happy Thanksgiving Cassie and Carly! And Happy Thanksgiving to the entire PIB community! I’m thankful for another year of watching and talking movies with you all. 🙏 🥂
Just imagine it if you figured out how to get on discord! Happy Thanksgiving!
Picard season 3 is awesome. If you like sci-fi and haven't seen it yet, Ready Player One (Steven Spielberg movie) is excellent also. Another great Steven Spielberg movie is Real Steel which has Hugh Jackman in it.
Real Steel was surprisingly excellent. I assumed it was just some goofy mid-range family movie about boxing robots, and it sort of is, but everybody involved put in a lot more effort than they needed to. It far surpassed my expectations and it's actually one of my favourite Hugh Jackman movies.
Well if you're going to watch the worst movie ever filmed in Petaluma, CA, you should try some good ones like American Graffiti, or Peggy Sue Got Married or Phenomenon.
I watched Phenomenon a couple of weeks ago. Good film.
Fun fact, I saw Howard the Duck in the theater when it came out... twice.
Wow, twice is hardcore. I may have seen bits and pieces. I am not sure. Thus, will be doing my first watch along with Cassie's full reaction.
Picard Season 3 😁
Thanksgiving favorites? I’m a traditionalist - turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie.
So now we agree on the MCU and Thanksgiving food!😂
I am far from a Star Trek fan, but as I mentioned last night I do hope you view at least the first of the Chris Pine “Star Trek” movies. Yes I am the one whose auto correct thought I was saying “Christmas Pine” LOL…Grrr…so embarrassing!! In the Superman talk, I was going to mention I hope “Wonder Woman” gets a view…it also stars Chris Pine. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
The Chris Pine movies are what she was most looking forward to when she started her ST Journey.
"and remember to be kind!" I am so disappointed. Just six months ago you watched the movie but you missed the chance to use one of the most iconic lines of the '80s- "Be excellent to each other." Favorite sides? Usually bread. I *hate* that vomit-inducing, vile weed people put in everything, onion. So I only eat the outermost layer of turkey (the inner is disgustingly contaminated by stuffing) and bread.
How much do you want to bet that I can make you crave seconds of brussels sprouts?!?!?!
My favorite vegetable?? Thirds please
It will be sad when the ST journey ends with Nemesis. She will probably like the reboot movies I was pretty meh on them. Hopefully next year she continues with Picard!
Hi Cassie, such a shame your TNG journey is coming to a end! It’s really has been a big highlight of my year watching your reactions to a wonderful part of my youth and such a iconic series. If you find the end of Nemesis a bit of a anti climax. Almost as if that crew didn’t get the send off you wanted like TOS got, firstly you wont be alone in that thought and it’s put right in Picard season 3! If you don’t watch it on the channel, make sure you watch it on your own one day. I feel once again I must mention some snowy movies for December. The Day after Tomorrow. (Natural disaster movie) Everest. (True story, good cast) The mountain between us. (Idris Elba and Kate Winslet, love story in the snow. Ignore the detractors, you’ll like it. 🙂
Absolutely love Star Trek the next generation
Favorite Thanksgiving foods are the Lasagna (which accompanies the Turkey, because we're Italian-American), my Grandma Ann's apple pie (a recipe she taught me before she passed), and my own homemade Apple-Cranberry bread, which is more like a cake than a bread (no yeast). Glad to post the recipe for the latter if anyone wants. Simple to make and tastes like Thanksgiving!
How did Howard the Duck get on here. Perhaps the worst Hwood movies ever made, and that's saying a LOT. Did people want to see Cassie waste 2 hours of her time, plus editing?
The question was raised during the live chat. I think the only advantage to watching “Howard the Duck” is all other movies will look better in comparison - and that from a longtime Lea Thompson fan
I have the original danish poster for "Howard The Duck" on the wall in my living room ... 🖤💪🏻🦆
Howard The And 🤔😅
Can’t believe Howard the Duck won a poll. It’s been a very long time since I first saw this movie, but I’m pretty sure it was lousy. People probably just wanted to see Lea Thompson.
You forgot Jeffrey Jones in his third act heel turn
Howard the Duck. So powerful, he can draw all the heat away from Paulie Shore!
Gun to my head, I’m watching Howard the Duck over any movie Paulie Shore starred in. His schtick gets real old, real fast.
/looks at the movies I demand a reaction to Chairman of the Board (1997)! "I keep reminding myself this week-nothing needs to be perfect, the decorations, the food, the house etc." If you truly wanted at least one perfect thing, you could have invited *me*! 👼 I'm also not sure you have an excuse for a lack of perfection, given you had a trial run with Canadian Thanksgiving! :-P So what am I grateful for this Thanksgiving? ... ... ... I am grateful I'll be so busy with Thanksgiving preparations and celebrations and recovery that I will be unable to watch the reactions to these movies. :-P :-P :-P "Remember to be kind!" That's a very unrealistic exhortation to put in a post announcing the coming of the anthropomorphic waterfowl. Regardless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njU7VVO4co4&t=2255s
Cassie will enjoy Thanksgiving. No matter what happens, she will be able to comfort herself with the knowledge that Lt Colonel Frank Slade is not about to drop in uninvited.
cassie your going to love Howard the duck
yes
To your little note below Star Trek Insurrection about not wanting it to be over, I'm going to channel my inner Rambo: "Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off!" We understand that the three Pine movies will be it for now, but rest assured, there's plenty of boldly going to be done in the future. Ye cannae change the laws of physics, lassie, so until then, lock and load, live long and prosper, and before you know it, it will be time once again to make it so.
I really hope you can react to Picard Season 3!
Can’t wait to see your reaction to the Star Trek reboot films.
As a ST fan, I liked Nemesis... but it's easily the worst TNG film, as everyone says. the storyline is meh. But it's still a TNG movie, it's still the TNG crew, and I still like the movie. Even though we have three seasons of Picard (season 3 was a really great sendoff for the hardcore TNG fans), I wish the last TNG movie had been done better. But I still enjoyed it, I'm sure Cassie will too.
I'd say there's at least one more movie after Nemesis... heh
Cassie got trolled so hard with Howard the Duck. Diabolical...but will make for a hilarious reaction.
Cassie's Patreon subscribers need to have a veto on YT poll winners in future. This is two hours of her precious little life we're talking about here. She can also veto it herself and I will personally fill the gap with a better film. Trust me, Cassie!
Oh actually George Lucas was Executive Producer of Howard the Duck. Not the official director. Whoops. Pretty sure he had a major hand in it, though.
HOWARD THE DUCK 1986!
I loooove Howard the Duck in a soo bad its good type of way. I haven't seen it in yrs. Plus I used to have an insane crush on Lea Thompson. Nemesis I've not seen before. I'm excited for both of these! Thanks!
So many people here crying about Howard the Duck. Would I have voted for it? No. But it won, so we might as well embrace the suckyness. I really do enjoy when Cassie has no reference point to stand on when going into a movie so this should be fun.
I am not crying. But I'm quacking very loudly.
You need to see the 2009 Star Trek with Chris Pine. This movie shows how they all met when they were young. Hint...Kirk did not like Spock
Those are next
“Cleve Land?”
I can appreciate an enjoyably dumb movie with the best of us. I’ve long preached to mind numbing brilliance that is THE ICE PIRATES. It has no redeeming qualities but it’s a heck of a ride. HOWARD though just fails for me. I will watch the reaction to see Cassie’s befuddlement as we all question our life choices. BTW - sweet potatoes, plain, baked, skin-on, served with just butter, salt and pepper.
Yeah, there is "so bad that it's good" and there's just plain bad. HOWARD is the latter.
Cornbread!
Not watching the Chris Pine movies is an easy solution here.
That's the whole reason she started watching ST to begin with. We're just blessed she ended up loving the franchise overall. And whatever issues some Trek fans have with the new trilogy I'm confident she'll love them
My prediction for "Howard the Duck": Cassie will have a confused look most of the reaction and won't like the movie.
Never seen it.
The Duck has entered the building people (haha). Cassie be like, "Stop it...that's gonna haunt my nightmares" 😆
Cassie can always do a "What's Up Doc?" on Howard. The day after she "watches it", she can come on here, profusely apologising that she did in fact sit through the whole thing, but "Gosh dangit, I forgot to press record on the camera!" She can then promise to maybe get around to watching it again at some point in the future, then skip out of the room like her kids on the last day of school.
not sure I can join the Howard The Duck reaction. I dislike that movie greatly. But looking forward to closing out the TNG journey (though I don't really like that movie either...)
Wait for the YT edit.
Officially nominating Horror of Dracula for the Christmas poll…… because I don’t like Christmas movies. Also because if Diehard is a Christmas movie then any movie can be a Christmas movie.
In all lucid seriousness, a Hammer Horror would not be the worst choice for Cassie. She's seen waaaaay worse, and there's a kind of campy fun to them. And it stars Christopher Lee, who was an acceptably competent actor in his day. He was in that hobbit thing, you know.
Cassie, after you take a break from Star Trek...Please, please, please, before you head into the Chris Pine movies - go back to the original Star Trek, with Shatner and Nimoy and watch the Menagerie. It will be helpful if you understand Christopher Pike's backstory, he was the captain before Kirk. I understand if you don't want to do this with the PIB community - do it for yourself. Especially for the second movie, it will have more emotional impact. Cassie, have a great Thanksgiving with your extended family.
At least from my perspective, not having seen it first didn’t impact my love for the reboot in any way. I couldn’t think more highly of that movie!
Howard The Duck? What the…
You have the YT community to thank for that.
When this channel started no one could have predicted that a Thanksgiving Week schedule would consist of HOWARD THE DUCK and STAR TREK NEMESIS. What a week to be Thankful for! But truly, Cassie and her channel are a blessing to everyone!
Howard the Duck...I actually saw that in theaters...I've never been the same...
YES, lol.
Happy Thanksgiving Cassie, your family and fellow patrons. I agree with you 100 percent. I like side items such as mashed potatoes and stuffing better than the turkey.
I'm drinking a six pack during the Howard the Duck reaction. Twill at least be hilarious. Nemesis I'm honestly curious how that's gonna go down.
I’m not sure Cassie is the right reactor for trash movies like Howard the Duck. It can be fun listening to a group of comedians spend 90 minutes roasting a badly made film but I don’t get the appeal of asking one person to fill that dead air.
I eventually did finish Howard the Duck, but I had to watch it in 5 min increments because it was so cringe. Definitely a hard watch, but I suppose worth a watch just to see what the kerfuffle is all about.
She'll love it, I've never been more sure of anything.
My prediction is that her HOWARD THE DUCK reaction is going to make BATMAN '89 look like a love fest.
For Howard the Duck they actually formed a girl band who played their own instruments with original songs 🎸🎸
Definitely the Stuffing we always made extra ,Devil Eggs and Pumpkin Pie.But the gravy to.I could go on on.🇨🇦 Ours is October though. I Seen Son inlaw haven't seen it in years,Funny Movie.
Don't listen to the Howard the Duck naysayers. It's one of my guilty pleasures. Yes, it's an incredibly goofy movie, and people have taken pleasure poking fun at George Lucas for producing it (most famously William Shatner when he appeared at the AFI Lifetime Achievement tribute for George back in 2005 where he sang his own version of 'My Way', and Holly Robinson when she appeared on a 1987 episode of The Tonight Show & she mumbled the movie's title when she told Johnny about what her rough start in movies), but it's a fun 111 minutes where you get to turn your brain off & just enjoy the silliness of a alien duck stuck in a world he never made. btw, when I saw the movie in the theaters the year it was released (1986), I managed to catch it at a theater that was showing another movie that Lea Thompson was starring in called 'Space Camp'. One of the greatest thing about that movie was the musical score, which was done by none other than John Williams.
Howard the Duck was one of the very first movies I ever saw. But really don't remember much about it at all. Have vague memories of the special effects being pretty good for the time.
Ugh. This is going to be a rough week.
You know you don't have to watch it, it's not mandatory, you know that you don't like it already. Maybe just wait for the YT cut
My favorite anything during Thanksgiving or Christmas is my mom's double layer pumpkin cheesecake My favorite side? Green bean casserole My favorite meat? Duck. Sorry Howard
Howard the Duck is much more palatable with an orange sauce. :-)
Damn the haters. Howard the Duck is fun! Just enjoy the weird ass ride!
You're reminding me of those Youtube videos where people do those slingshot fairground rides. Half the time they're screaming, the other half they're passed out in the chair. I hope watching Howard is a little less traumatic for Cassie.
Cassie’s first “So Bad it’s Good movie” I commend her for it. Keep up the trend. Go the distance. Watch The Room next. Followed by Plan 9 from Outer Space, Samurai Cop and my personal favorite, Miami Connection. Just something to think about.
You are legally required to follow The Room with The Disaster Artist, which is about the making of The Room. The second movie is actually remarkably great, but you miss all the context if you don't work through The Room first
Lol Paulie Shore? Should have bin Encino Man with Brendan Frasier and Paulie Shore
Marginally better than Santa Claus conquers the Martians!
Sorry I won't be able to make it for the hang out tonight, work is kicking my butt lol! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving week, love and support 🥰😇🙏🤗😁😉✌️👍🌹
Just outta curiosity, what were the other movies drawn on the YT Live? Asking for a friend. 🤪
Come and See was definitely one of them, so be happy she didn't have to watch that at thanksgiving lol
Happy Thanksgiving Cassie, Carly and the rest of the family. I love smoked turkey but am a fan of most and way it is cooked. Sides.....sweet potatoes, dressing (not stuffing) and cranberry sauce.
Oh Cassie no. Not Howard the Duck.
Alas, yes. The YT comments have spoken... hopefully for the last time.
Fun fact: If Howard The Duck had been a critical and financial success instead of the atomic bomb that it was, Pixar Animation Studios likely wouldn't be what it is today.
Sometimes good can come from disaster.
Star Trek Genesis is one of my favs. I actually worked backwards. My first star trek movie i ever seen was Genisus and remembering liking it so much that I asked my dad if I could go back and watch the rest of Star Trek from his VHS collection. So this movie is my fav just from a nostalgia perspective. I'm aware it's not a lot of people fav.
Nemesis, not Genesis. That was "The Wrath of Khan" where Spock died. And now Cassie may end up having to watch the Kelvin Timeline films...
Howard the Duck before The Searchers .... ouch 🤕🤕
To be fair, I also saw HOWARD THE DUCK long before I ever saw THE SEARCHERS.
Watched Howard the Duck when it was first released on VHS on the suggestion of a high school friend. It was obviously trying hard to be a cult classic and, equally obviously, failing miserably. I’ve seen cult classics that just didn’t work for me - Repo Man and The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension spring immediately to mind. But, even though I didn’t “get it” with those films I could definitely see what it was that others liked. They were different and, for what they were, they were well done. Howard the Duck, on the other hand, committed the cardinal sin of any movie striving to be a cult classic: it was just plain boring. Can’t see putting myself thru that 2 hours of pure boredom again, even for a Cassie reaction. PS: I’m a fan of roasted or smoked turkey and dressing with homemade gravy (includes mushroom soup and chicken broth mixed together, with bits of roasted chicken, heated to a boil until thick and kept simmering until served). Also, pumpkin pie with pecan and brown sugar topping for desert. Delicious.
I can totally get people not being on the same wavelength as Repo Man, as the entire movie is like non-stop non sequiturs and randomness. I think that movie is absolutely hilarious, but it's definitely not one I would just automatically recommend to anyone and everyone.
Sorry you are wasting time on "Howard the Duck". May have been decent as an animated picture and was OK for a short time in comics with the right writer, but is just bad as a live action movie. Every movie has fans, but this one doesn't have many. My birthday was just 2 days ago and I was hoping for a good reaction to enjoy. I really enjoy how you try to see the good in every situation. I do laugh sometimes when you always want the romantic happy ending. Thanks for the smiles. Loved Grumpier Old Men and Some Like it Hot. Great films.
There are movies that are "so bad they're good" and then there are movies that are just bad. HOWARD is the latter.
The Duck it would have been better to call him Marvin. Just a recap Howard is in Guardians of The Galaxy and for a millisecond in Avengers Endgame
First a Pauly Shore film now Howard The Duck? You guys are just trolling her now lol
Hey, blame the YT viewers. Not us. We didn't do it.
Oh yes. Howard the Duck. Probably the best worst movie ever made, outside of Road House. I wore that VHS out when I was a kid. It also begun my lifelong crush for Lea Thompson.
"...outside of Road House" You misspelled Birdemic: Shock and Terror
I’m anxious to see your Insurrection reaction; I’m in the minority, but I think it’s a good movie. BTW, before you continue on with the JJ Abrams Trek movies, have you given thought into reacting to other episodes of The Original Series that you missed; or possibly giving Deep Space Nine a chance?
Howard the duck…..love it 😂😂
I need someone to feel me in on the lore behind HTD being watched
I’m assuming it’s some form of penance.
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving Cassie! Oh, and my favorite is the stuffing! 😊
Is this an April fools thing?
It's a "Cassie has to watch what movie wins the YT poll" thing.
Said this once and I'll say it again sweet Cassie, I'm thankful for your reaction to the original Ghostbusters. Watched the YT edit and discovered you while I was in the recovery room from back surgery. 😌😌
I remember seeing Howard the Duck when I was 9….and thinking “I’m probably too mature for this.”
I liked it at age 9. My mistake was in watching it again once I was an adult.
My favorites are probably stuffing (homemade) and fried apples , really looking forward to both Star Trek TNG movies also!
I've heard of baked apples but not fried. Interesting
Kinda looking forward to Howard the Duck. Such a terrible, idiotic, but fun movie.
I genuinely wonder how many people have actually seen that movie, especially among the people who voted for it. I saw it back in the 80s and remember almost nothing about it, but I really don't hear it referenced much at all, even among fans of bad movies.
Howard the flippin’ Duck?! Did you lose a bet or something?
Unfortunately it won a DVD poll on YouTube during the last package live
I am once again strongly advising you to watch TOS the Menagerie pt1 and 2 before watching the Chris Pine movies
Other than it having Pike in the episodes I don’t see any link to the films. And in the first one it explains who he is anyway because as it’s starts before Kirk joined Starfleet
