Upcoming...

based from laurel and hardy tom and jerry funniest film called mouse hunt make Cassie's tears of laughter it is funny movie

Cassie mentioned she might watch the Request polls runner-ups. Since she has already seen the "True Grit" remake with Jeff Bridges, I propose we substitute a different John Wayne western. Perhaps "The Searchers", which is highly requested, or have a new poll to decide.

RIP David Lynch, I thought I'd share a clip of his final on screen acting role; Portraying legendary Hollywood director, John Ford in Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical film, The Fabelmans (2022). It is based on the real life meeting of a teenage Spielberg meeting one of his heroes, John Ford. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk6spjF98No

RIP David Lynch 1946-2025. A truly great Hollywood director. There is a brilliant Scene By Scene interview with him, filmed in 1999, discussing his best films. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIlmdLPUdpg

Horror of Dracula - endorsed by more than just me - “I watched Horror of Dracula the other night and I really enjoyed it. I get it now” - Chris Thom. (Hope you don’t mind I made this post Chris, but this movie needs all the help it can get)

I'm sure nobody is reading this anymore, but I grew up in Pasadena and Altadena and lived in Altadena in a building up until almost a year ago which appears to have burned down (that area is still under mandatory evacuation so I can't go check). I now live in the San Fernando Valley, so the Palisades fire very nearly forced us to evacuate before they got it under control (parts of my neighborhood are still under evacuation orders). I also lived for years in Hollywood, and have many friends and family in all these places, many of whom had to evacuate (and some who still aren't allowed back), and some like me who simply worried with the constant fear that we'd be evacuated. I can't fully express the absolute stress it was like for about a week there, just spending all day fixated on the local news, watching the water drops, and checking the Watch Duty app for updates, and monitoring who's homes the fires were burning towards, all while knowing that the community I grew up in and have spent much of my life is just gone. And then when they seemed like things were finally being brought under control in Altadena, we began to see the flames from my home here. Probably one of the most infuriating things though, and I've seen it in this thread, is how so many people seemingly ignored the actual disaster that's going on in favor of running around looking at who is to blame. There is so much misinformation going around out there about all kinds of things, and it's all harmful. Sometimes natural disasters just happen, and this was certainly one of them. When you combine zero rain for almost a year with dry hurricane force winds, and housing structures that were built nearly a century ago without things like defensible space and flame resistant building materials in mind, major fires are just inevitable. It's no one person's fault, or even a small group of people's fault, any more than a small group of people are to blame for hurricane damage. Honestly it's sickening how many people see a disaster happening in real time and immediately think about how they can use this to further a political agenda. For the people wanting to blame "poor forest management", go look at any photos of Los Angeles and you'll see we are not in the middle of a forest. There are no forests around here. Los Angeles is a desert, surrounded by desert. To the people talking about "poor water management", please know that Los Angeles does not get its water from Northern California, where the dams up in the Cascades and preserving "smelt fish" are an issue. SoCal gets its water from the Colorado River, same as Cassie in Utah. There are water issues in the southwest, but it has to do with growing crops (many of which go to China and the Middle East), not about what happens in Northern California. In high winds in California, the power companies turn off the power because downed power lines cause fires. This lack of power combined with the incredible amount of water being poured on the fires made it so some pumps couldn't keep up with the water being drained. Normally fires are attacked from the air, but the winds were so great it wasn't safe for anything to fly. These winds also allowed embers to be carried miles away to start new fires. There is no place in the world that's equipped to handle fires in those conditions. I'm sure people made some mistakes, just as always happens in any natural disaster, but it's absurd to blame anyone other than mother nature for this. So again, if you see what's happening in LA and think "this gives me an opportunity to push my political agenda" then you really need to look in the mirror and ask what you're doing. This instinct to look at horrific events and just try to figure out how to turn it to your advantage is sickening, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Cassie, when do you and Carly start watching Planet of the Apes?!

new film called Oilver twist by j.m. barrie oilver twist ... joseph mazzello artful dodger ... daniel radcilffe fagin ... billy connelly bill sykes ... robbie williams

Coming down from a cold after a long days work and I have Mick Dundee 2 with Cassie & Carly to relax to. A very good day!

I think Cassie & Carly are going to enjoy Crocodile Dundee 2. Though I highly recommend rewatching the first movie beforehand (or a recap at least). It’s been a long time since the first reaction.

Cassie, you mention you are enjoying the posts on the Patreon for Pop2Go, but do you read the comments on the You Tube channel, as I have noticed very few likes from you/Carly on there.

Looking forward to Star Trek Beyond. Though I really don’t like what they did with the uniforms in this movie. Still hoping Cassie will watch Star Trek: Discovery (season 1-2) and then Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (prequel to The Original Series). I know it’s unlikely but one can only hope. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I actually like Crocodile Dundee 2 better than the first one. It's probably because of the genre change. 1 is a Rom-Com with a bit of action. 2 is an action-adventure comedy.

Looking on Fandango today, I noticed it is national popcorn day on the 19th. I bought some popcorn and look forward to watching the upcoming reactions on that day!

I really feel Cassie would love Midnight Run. Classic.

For a short show (just 7 episodes), I will again recommend "Midnight Mass". An entertaining show, and would make for a wild reaction from Mrs. Popcorn, lol.

So pumped that Carly will be with you on The Gladiator. I watch it several times a year. One of the greatest IMO

YESSSSSSSSS!!!! FiNALLy The Gladiator! Yay!!!!!!!!😀 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Crocodile Dundee movies are nowhere in the UK right now. They were on Prime when Cassie reacted to the first movie, but now they’re gone for some reason. And what’s worse, the dvds are insanely expensive on Amazon. Why??

I grew up in the San Fernando Valley; it looks like the area where we lived was not affected. My one remaining family member in CA was also not affected. I haven't lived there in decades, but I still have fond memories. Some of the places I'd visit are just gone now. My heart goes out to those who lost everything.

'True Spirit' 2023 is a Aussie independent film,based on a true story.⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hearts go out to those whom have lost everything and to the families that lost a loved one 💔 to the brave members of the LAFD/PD/CHP they are the heroes of this tragic disaster,when the dust settles there's going to be a reckoning...

Star Trek Beyond the Phantom Menace. Another 4 hour long pod race.

Thanks Cassie and everyone for all you have done to help those in need. I grew up in Pacific Palisades and it is heartbreaking to see it so destroyed. The homes I lived in, the schools and church I attended are gone. 😔 The worst of it was my aunt had a massive stroke and passed away during her panicked evacuation. So, my uncle is staying with us until it is safe to return to the Palisades. So great to be able to enjoy Popcorn In Bed and its amazing community at times like these. My uncle really enjoyed “The Intouchables” reaction. Such a nice relief from thinking about everything that happened. Looking forward to the fun Crocodile Dundee 2 (But not the bush fire scene), going Beyond, and we will be entertained! ⚔️ Thanks again for everything everyone has done for those affected. “What we do in life echoes an eternity!” 😊

Excited for Carly’s reaction to Gladiator. And no more Star Trek. 😃

The good thing about Crocodile Dundee 2 is that hopefully we’ll never have to hear about >bleepin’< Crocodile Dundee again.

“Do one thing for one person you wish you could do for everyone”. I love that mantra. The parents of one of the office administrators for the company I work for lost their home in a fire a few weeks ago. I’ve been donating to their Go Fund Me page with every paycheck I’ve gotten since. Im sure we’d all love to do so much more than we can to help out with the devastation in California, but if you can make a difference for just one person who desperately needs help, it can turn tragedy into triumph. I’ll be looking into the links that you provided this weekend. Thank you, Cassie!

Thanks for this, Cassie! What to grab in an emergency is always a series of tough choices. One thing that can add a little security is to have a "go bag" for each person in the house. Nothing dramatic here, just enough clothes—esp socks and underwear—toiletries and a few other odds and ends to get each of you through 48-72 hours. I throw a few protein bars and a couple bottled waters and a couple hundred bucks in ziplocs, too, and a rain poncho and keep it all in my truck. Small bag for each of us that we change out every couple months so it doesn't get musty inside. Never hurts.

As an Australian, I can tell you there are far better choices to watch for Australia Day. Picnic at Hanging Rock, Mad Max, Gallipoli, Man from Snowy River, Animal Kingdom, Muriels Wedding, Strickly Ballroom and The Castle.

Great lineup once again, i'd say i've seen Croc 2 a dozen or so times now such an easy film to dip into whenever it's on tv. Next week will be interesting with 3 very different films winning the polls.

Cassie might want to watch a movie in honor of fire fighters and first responders. Since she has already seen Backdraft, I would suggest one of these: "Deepwater Horizon" (2016) *True Story* "The Towering Inferno" (1974) "The Hellfighters" (1968) "Volcano" (1997) These are more actiony and a less plausible depiction but still focus on the responders: "Daylight" (1996) "San Andreas" (2015)

Bittersweet that Star Trek is coming to an end, unless she plans to watch DS9/Voyager/Enterprise as well in which case there is still a lot to be excited for. Also there is still a 4th movie still floating around, i know with the passing of Anton has definitely put it on indefinite hold, Simon Pegg has mentioned a few times when asked that they all still want to do it.

Btw I’m very excited for your Lawrence of Arabia reaction. It’s my favorite film ever, which is based on the life of British WW1 officer T.E. Lawrence. LoA has influenced and inspired a generation of directors (Kubrick, Lucas, Spielberg, Sorceses, Jackson - LoA is in his Top 6 WW1 movies - Nolan, etc.). You have the advantage of watching it on the big screen. I last saw this film at the Aero Theater in 70mm (while not all 70mm screenings are equal this one had an exclusive print that’s blemish free) so the film was so crisp and rich with color that it absolutely blew me away. PS - Highly recommend that you watch it again at a 70mm showing - I suggests the American Cinematheque locations (Aero or Egyptian) because their exclusive print is perfect and with the sound - just the way David Lean intended his masterpiece to be fully appreciated and experienced.

Apparently, if you need to flee a potential fire and cannot take everything, putting your valuables in the fridge is the best spot to preserve them

I’m not in the affected areas but my local firefighters were some of the initial responders. I also know firefighters from Orange County Fire Authority (my nephew is one of them) who just finished a 48-hr shift but drove up to assist LAFD who were stretched with no air support due to the hurricane-force winds on Tuesday & Wednesday. Many of these first responders have lost their own homes but still fighting the ongoing Palisades and Eaton fires. Keeping the first responders and affected communities in my thoughts and prayers. Chef Andrew Gruel has been among the many to immediately help fire victims and first responders with free meals. He’s also received donations (basic essentials such as baby formula, clothes, shoes, pet food, etc) that have been dropped off to his restaurant (Calico Fish House) in Huntington Beach where volunteers are helping to deliver meals and items to the Dream Center in L.A. He also raised funds towards relief efforts and let fire victims use his parking lot as temporary shelter and got free meals on him. Donations for the animals such as Best Friends Animal Society & Wings of Rescue are helping to relocate adoptable animals from the affected shelters. Many of them were already flown to Seattle and Dallas and shelters and animal sanctuaries from across the nation are reaching out to help these two amazing organizations.

Call me weird but I like Beyond the best of the three "new" Star Trek movies!

Jelly Beans will henceforth be banned from the annual Poppy Awards for the immediate health and safety of all participants and hosts. Thank you.

Glad you are doing SM returns. I think Routh made an excellent Clark Kent/superman whoops sorry spoiler

"You sneaky little guys trying to tie those up!" Don't look at me, those kinds of games drive me nutty. I picked my three losers and stuck with them. "Crocodile Dundee II" Good, I've been waiting for that one. It's no "great cinema" but it is a fun little movie. If you want more of the Mick Dundee actor, check out Almost an Angel (1990), and if you want more Australian "history" check out Young Einstein (1988) and find out how Albert finally put bubbles into beer.

Crocodile Dundee II- hooray!

"I would grab-ink prints ..., letter ..., grandma's recipes, my kids comfort animals and blankets." Planning ahead is good, but instead of planning what papers you want, plan to buy a fire-proof safe. "as we watch the devastating fires unfold. It is breaking my heart..." Then don't watch it. Be aware then move on with your day. Watch a movie, read a book, get the Patreon podcast thing straightened out, whatever. It is the curse of the internet (and CNN) that all the news of the world is shoved in our faces. Family and community is where our main focus should be. A heavy focus on the nation or the world is too much and you will drive yourself insane. And before anyone writes an angry reply, read what I actually wrote again, not what you think I wrote. "it feels overwhelming..." Then remove yourself from the situation. For the charity thing, the old standbys are usually a good way to go. "Is there anyone here in our kernel community that have been affected?" The real question. Like I said previously, community not nation.

Don't knowing if someone else in the comments already stated, but looks like Project Hope got renamed. Projecthope.org takes you right to contributions for the LA fires.

I haven't been affected by the fires, but I did see a fire warning of high winds possibly downing power lines on an orange lighted road sign sunday night while delivering food in Poway. And I JUST NOW while in the middle of typing this checked the local news and found that a brush fire broke out in Mission Valley near the I-15, about 10 or so miles from where I live here in San Diego. Looks like luckily the firefighters got it out quick. My mom also mentioned that a brief gust of wind happened today around noon, but nothing since. Usually I don't ever consider winds a threat, other maybe knocking down some high things on the garden shelf on the balcony, but I think I'll start a mental inventory of things I'll absolutely grab in case any fire were to happen to start up near me. Hopefully by the time I've narrowed it down in my mind, any more possibilities of high winds in Southern California will be over.

The 90s political thriller was such a big deal, but it feels like a world away. High quality Cassie-tailored project.

The two of you are really going to enjoy Crocodile Dundee II. It's actually a little more action-packed than the first one, but I going to leave it at that since I don't want to give you any spoilers.

Captain James T. Kirk: “Captain's Log, Stardate 2263.2. Today is our 966th day in deep space, a little under three years into our five-year mission. The more time we spend out here, the harder it is to tell where one day ends and the next one begins. It can be a challenge to feel grounded when even the gravity is artificial. But, well, we do what we can to make it feel like home. The crew, as always, continues to act admirably despite the rigors of our extended stay here in outer space. And the personal sacrifices they have made. We continue to search for new lifeforms in order to establish firm diplomatic ties. Our extended time in uncharted territory has stretched the ship's mechanical capacities. But fortunately our engineering department, led by Mr. Scott, is more than up to the job. The ship aside, prolong cohabitation has definitely had effects on interpersonal dynamics. Some experiences for the better, and some for the worse. As for me, things have started to feel a little... episodic. The farther out we go, the more I find myself wondering what it is we're trying to accomplish. But if the universe is truly endless, then are we not striving for something forever out of reach? The Enterprise is scheduled for reprovisioning stop at Yorktown, the Federation's newest and most advanced starbase. Perhaps a break from routine will offer up some respite from the mysteries of the unknown.” Star Trek Beyond

I am always of the opinion that you, Cassie, should never judge a single movie you watch based on anyone's comments on youtube or patreon. Just enjoy movies for what they are and judge for yourself. Hope you are feeling better these days, health wise. Looking forward to all the upcoming reactions even though there's one I've never even heard of before.

My cousin Jake is an LA County firefighter. Please keep him and all of the other first responders in your prayers, as well as those who have lost belongings and even loved ones! 😢

Looking forward to Gladiator and ST. I will likely skip Croc 2. I recommend the Carly/Cassie newest podcast episode to everyone. I am sad for the people suffering in the California fires.

I adore Star Trek Beyond. Sofia Boutella is great in everything she’s in and Simon Pegg really rocked the script.

Wow. Not one but TWO reactions with Carly next week. This should be fun. You'll both love CROCODILE DUNDEE 2 and I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy STAR TREK BEYOND. It's not as good as the first Kelvin movie, but it's better than INTO DARKNESS imo. I know that next week you plan to watch the 3 poll winners which includes LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. Since it is one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) epics ever made by one of the greatest epic filmmakers of all time David Lean (who also did BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI), I'd like to get a jump on requesting-- nay, begging you to please, PLEASE watch it in your theater space. The big screen is the only way to experience that film.

Crocodile Dundee 2!!! 🤪😃 Now Cassie, as you know i am a very happily married man, so don’t take this the wrong way!..,but I Frigging LOVE you!!!😘❤️……i know, everyone will be saying it’s not as good as the first, but you will enjoy it. Can’t wait!!!!🤠

My cousin house burned down, and his wife parents, The rest of my family just dealing with ash and smoke. The good part is no one was hurt.

I was laid off from work last week and I'm making a lot of choices on financial choices right now. The joy I get from you (and Carly) is something I can't let go yet

I see you loving Gladiator. Crocodile Dundee 2 is not as good as the first, but not terrible. Still hoping for a really old classic poll every 2 or 3 months. Something where an old movie is guaranteed to win. Just rewatched "The Philadelphia Story" starring Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. Great movie.
