George Clooney Jonah Hauer king Emily Blunt and Lea Thompson Horror Movie Called Reaction this film About some Secret Room Go to Adventure Producer of Alice in Wonderland and Harry potter World come true

Really enjoyed POA this morning with the reaction you really need to watch them all, I think that would be better and give you a more overall understanding of the series

top picks for popcorn in bed are the chronicled of Narnia the lion the lion the witch and the wardrobe where the red fern grows capytain american new world send movies

The Black Stallion is a very good horse movie, good watch.

Please watch Xanadu!!

Hi Cassie reaction new film's are the other lamb mary poppins airplane 2 the sequel the neverending story 2 the next chapter Lea thompson film silly film called Brats send old and new movie's

Mixed reactions to the upcoming list. On the plus side, I really hope Cassie follows up the classic Heston "Planet of the Apes" with the utterly unnecessary and bizarre, yet kind of weirdly magnetic (in a "can't stop watching the train wreck" kind of way) remake with Marky Mark. Hell, Heston has a cameo! As does his infamous quote! And just from an eye-candy-in-a-bad-movie perspective, it's tough to top the combo of Wahlberg and Estella Warren. (OK, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively in "Green Lantern" still hold the top spot, but, wow this one's close.) Also, I admit that I'm looking forward to "Face-Off" just because it's fascinating to watch Travolta trying desperately to out-Cage Nic Cage himself. I mean, THAT'S popcorn-worthy. But...that's balanced against the fact that I have zero intention of ever sitting through "Gladiator II," so that's a PiB reaction I'll sadly likely never watch. If any movie bumps the "Matrix" sequels out of the gold medal slot in "this thing never should have had a sequel," it's "Gladiator." Just...c'mon. What's next, Hollywood? "Titanic II?"

Unfortunately, I can't see the pick a film draw because it's locked behind the pay wall and Cassie said my film would be included in it this month. I know it's highly unlikely I won but could someone please tell me which film won the draw please and did you happen to notice if Watership Down 1978 was one of the films listed please. Thank you so much.

I love Working Girl!!! Harrison, Melanie AND Sigourney!! For the life of me, I can't figure out which Cary Grant classic we're getting ( I know that hairline anywhere)!!

Excited for Working Girl, both because I enjoyed the movie and because I know Carley and Cassie would love it. Not a huge fan of the early Planet of the Apes films (they'e good, and classic science fiction, but not my favorites). I am however looking forward to when she sees the NEWEST films—especially Rise, Dawn, and War. (Kingdom was okay, but not as good as the "Ceasar trilogy")

Surely the Trekker who'd get a tattoo is Spock?

A podcast every week never seemed sustainable to me. Carly does have other things on her mind right now, LOL.

Very excited for Planet of the Apes! I love that franchise, I recently binged all the films. It’s a great time and it’s cool being able to look back when you start the new films and see the references to the originals. I only made it half way through the Mark Walberg remake film tho, which is fine since it’s not connected to the franchise. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes ended up being one of my favourite films from last year.

oh no the original is a classic but are going to have to watch the avertisement for Beastiality with Mark Walberg remake also . and there is like- 10 of them LOL. all with humans as the bad guys -like the visually Magnificent but with a Pagan spiritual and Beastial messages. , Avatar ? and working girl ? "One Fine Day". would have been way better well maybe ill get lucky and the vote will be . " Bringing up Baby"

And when will the PaF spin be held?

I'm afraid to ask....how many Planet of the Apes movies are there?

POTA yes! Working Girl 🤮

Here's a few tortilla wraps to slap your anxiety with.... "Anxiety is interest you pay on a debt you may not owe." "You are stronger than you think. You've made it through every bad day in your life, and you are undefeated." "If pleasures are greatest in anticipation, just remember that this is also true of trouble." "There is a condition worse than blindness, and that is seeing something that isn't there." "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it." "I learned there are troubles of more than one kind - some come from ahead, some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready, you see. Now my troubles are going to have trouble with me." "I always believed it was me against the world. Then one day I realised, it's just me against me." "Some unknown joys there be, laid up in store for me." "For every ailment under the sun, there is a remedy or there is none. If there be one, try to find it; if there be none, never mind it." "Two men looked out from prison bars. One saw the mud, the other saw the stars." "My life has been full of terrible misfortunes....most of which never happened."

That atomic spoiler on the the Apes poster though...

With regards your son it's the primary task of parents to develop children into adults that don't need parents anymore. It's hard for mothers particularly because they have to let their sons go and cannot ultimately lead boys into manhood - which starts happening about 12-14 . The reality is that boys have got to toughen up and shoulder burdens, or they will never respect themselves or have the respect of their peers, as men are basically measured by the suffering they can endure, particularly for the sake of others

Hi Cassie, my Anxiety has gone the other way, but it tends to, as I get to this time of year. My work is just starting to slow down abit now. I would guess your increased Anxiety is connected to your little ones going through difficult times. I can’t begin to imagine how tough it must be, to be a mother and watch your children struggle! You come across as an amazing mom and I’m sure with your love and support those kids will get through anything. It’s another great line up of movies. You are going to love “Working girl” one of my moms favs. As for POTA, can’t wait! But I do ask, if you can, to watch the original sequels. The first three sequels are definitely worth a watch (I say with my nostalgia goggles on!) the last is meh. Apart from the first of the new ones, I will be watching them for the first time with you. I wasn’t a big fan of the first, but hopefully I will enjoy the second time around. A delight this week, the sun is out, at last! I’m spending all day sat with wifey and I’m going to get POTA on PiB! 😃 You are the best ❤️

Planet of the Apes with Carly! LFG

Can't wait for you to get to the more modern Planet of the Apes trilogy starting in 2011! The original is pretty good but the other older ones are quite bad. So I am hoping you decide to just get to the newer ones after you watch the original. But I totally get it if you want to watch all of them.

WooHooo! We finally have reached Planet of the Apes! I will say again, Cassie, PLEASE watch the entire series of the original Apes series! They are worth watching! You watched everything X-Men, therefore you can watch everything Apes. Although you can skip the Tim Burton Apes movie. Go for it, Cassie, don't be afraid to watch them all!

It is February 2025, and I hereby advocate for *that* version of The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). [#002]

I am prompted to present one of Norm Macdonald's most hilarious jokes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlYF8RPa4Zs [first clip]

“Did I miss Something?” Cassie near the end of No Country For Old Men. I am sometimes Haunted by that scene where the Sheriff goes to meet his cousin, “Coach Whitey from One Tree Hill”. I know there is more there. It bothers me. Something elusive, like a dream that you can’t quite remember how it ends.

Oh Cassie…I remember when my girls were in grade school and it seemed like every other week one of them would get sick, then she’d get better and the other would get sick, and eventually my wife would catch whatever they were dealing with. I have some kind of super immune system and I very rarely got sick even though they would often fall asleep in my arms and breathe their toxic germy breath all over me. I can definitely relate to what you’re going through, and wholeheartedly sympathize. Our usual Valentine’s Day plans are very much like yours. Dinner out and maybe a movie if there is one my wife wants to see (she’s very much like you pre-PiB). We found a new restaurant not far from where we live where a duo plays piano and sax live while you eat…very romantic. Looking forward to the lineup this week. I’m interested to hear your take on Planet of the Apes premise, and I’m really pumped for you to start the newer Apes movies and hear your comparisons to the original. Working Girl has long been a favorite and is a perfect movie for February. Hope all of your kids get healthy soon and stay healthy so you and Ben can exhale and enjoy Valentine’s Day together. January is gone, the month of romance is here, and Spring isn’t too far off…there’s light at the end of the tunnel!

After these PotA films I know a great series you could tackle next - the Dracula films starring Christopher Lee from Hammer films. Just the first four, Horror of Dracula Dracula: Prince of Darkness Dracula Has Risen From the Grave Taste the Blood of Dracula You don’t need to watch all seven (unless you want to). I know this isn’t going to happen - but it should. Because it would be cool as H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks.

I first saw “Planet of the Apes” on tv as a kid. I loved it and the entire original five film series. I also watched the cartoon series and live action Saturday morning series. Great franchise. Word to the wise, though: stay away from the Marky Mark remake. The story is weak, Marky Mark’s acting is as wooden as a cigar store Indian and it seemed as though they ran out of budget 2/3 of the way thru. But the makeup effects by Rick Baker were brilliant (and far, far better than the CGI used in the later rebooted franchise).

Didn’t see this earlier…Apes! I am so excited!

[Deliberately being vague, just in case.] I know that some images and scenes have so entered public consciousness as to be practically inescapable, but still, for the love of Ghu!!! 😤

Was kind of a dark and cold and weird January. And now it's February! So there's that. Hope your kiddos are alright. Sometimes I have flashbacks to all the little crises growing up, and kind of glad it's over. But hey they get to have Cassie as a mom, so they already hit the jackpot. They'll be alright. Glad you're watching Working Girl finally! Think you'll enjoy it. It's directed by Mike Nichols who was one of the best in the business, and he has some others that are classics too. Very talented. Love to everyone for Love Day!

I never heard of Jolly rancher jelly Bean Hearts sounds great , I hope she watches Planet of the apes with you , its a classic

Off topic: What do you guys think of this? https://youtu.be/jXBbdsWsJM0?si=j4FPuHHZ4NpTIStF (Not a request for Cassie)

Fondue might be a new Valentine's tradition. Sounds good.

I feel for your kids. At least it seems your little girl had a fun week. As for the lineup, this is a great week. I am big fan of Planet of the Apes (1968). I like Working Girl (1988), which I remember in 1988 being popular -- Melanie Griffith was well known at the time. Some may not know that Melanie Griffith is Dakota Johnson's mother. I am curious about Breakfast at Tiffany's (which I have not seen). I love Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday.

Planet of the Apes was one of the earliest films I watched. My mother would take us to a drive in and we would lie down in the back of a VW Squareback (kind of mini station wagon). My sister and I would watch part of a movie and fall asleep every time. It was my mother's trick for quiet alone time. But I definitely remember the start of Planet of the Apes even if I didn't make it all the way through. It was so exciting to see the apes. I was too young to really get it all, but Charlton Heston seemed like the most manly man I'd ever seen in my life.

Can't wait for the Poppies!! Always a great time! BTW No other award show can hold a candle to the Poppies, the only Oscar's I pay any attention too are Meyer, the Grouch and Madison! Best wishes for you little one who is having a tough go of it, and your little girl's cheerleading clinic sounds absolutely adorable!

Working girl ! Can’t go wrong! Chocolate roses are a great gift 🌷 For the occasion lol

Your Franchise reactions have always been consistently amazing Cassie 👍. From Rocky to indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, star wars, lethal weapon, die hard, 007, Mission impossible, Xmen, Star trek and probably a few more I've missed. It's really rewarding to see you organically grow to love certain characters more and more as you go on. For a minute I thought you would go on to the newer monsterverse movies of Godzilla and king Kong and hopefully you'll return to them sometime in the future but the planet of the apes are classics and the newer franchise movies were really well done so very excited for that.

Working Girl!!! Finally!! Thank You. Also, For What it’s Worth… I believe you are planning on watching the original Planet of the Apes (1968) film, and then skipping to the new ones. FYI, there was more than one original film. A series of 5 films… Planet of the Apes (1968) Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)… direct sequel. Escape From the Planet of the Apes (1971) Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973) Just so you know, the new films are NOT a remake of the first or second film. They are a remake of the last 3 films… Escape (1971) Conquest (1972) Battle (1973) All of the original films are worth seeing.

Sorry, you've got some tough things going on. I hope the kiddo gets through the rough patch soon. My Valentines Day plans are on hold this year. My mom has to have a heart ablation on Valentines Day so, my boyfriend and I are pushing our plans by a week or so. Looking forward to Planet Of The Apes. Still hoping for Nine Months sometime in February. The cast is stacked and it has everything that you want in a rom com. I think it will probably make it on your short list of favorite rom coms. 🤞you get to react to it soon. Bummed that An Affair To Remember isn't doing better in the poll. You'll get to it eventually and I'm sure you'll love it when you do.

Okay, so I was 10 and going to a Catholic school in Chicago back in 1983. I was in the choir and we had practice after classes. WGN was airing the original 5 Planet of the Apes movies in the afternoon - one each day - so I had to ditch choir so I could run home to watch them. I got kicked out of choir (after I told them why I skipped), but that started a life long love of the Apes series.

I am distraught that my beloved Charade is going to lose another poll...but one of my top 5 PIB wish list films - Working Girl - is coming! Woot!

The Planet of the Apes series from the 2011-24 is better than the original 70s series. Best to just skip the Mark Wahlberg 2001 version. I hope Funny Girl wins the romance poll because I know you love a based on true story films. At some point you should take a peak at Barefoot In the Park. I don't think there were two more attractive stars in 1967 than Redford and Fonda. I hope Carly is there for Working Girl so we can get a, "they just don't make them like that anymore!" It's a sweet little story that is so 80s I can almost smell the Aqua Net.

I’m looking forward to your dive into Planet of the Apes. As long as you’re looking at actors in ape suits in 1968, I strongly suggest also watching 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was SO influential on so much of the sci-fi you have watched and the effects for the time were awesome. But let’s get back to the real topic, Valentine’s candy. I make the best truffles. (Well, I used to - it’s been a while.) They’re not hard and they’re so good. It’s a bit of an investment and your kitchen will be covered in chocolate but they’re amazing. It’s just combining the best dark chocolate you can find with heavy cream and then dipping it in more chocolate. I never used liqueurs or bothered tempering the chocolate and they were always a hit. I’m a SAG-AFTRA member and am now doing my own watching marathon before the votes are due for the SAG awards. I wish I could watch them with all of you! I’m not sure I’m going to get to all the nominated TV shows. If anyone has any strong opinions on who I should vote for make your case.

Doog Ftuss (I meant to type good stuff, but somehow my brain starting typing "Doog" instead of good, and it was so odd that I wanted to just keep going and follow through with it for fun.

I like how in the Romantic Poll winner slot you have The Philadelphia Story pictured! Must be a good omen!!

Hi Cassie, a suggestion for next year's valentine's poll: Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), a masterpiece of a film directed by Peter Weir, who went on to direct Dead Poet's Society (1987), The Truman Show (1997) and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003). The film is set in Australia on 14th February 1900, which is why I thought it would be a good reaction on Valentine's Day

things are to a little hairy and coming get you little bit of horror and little bit of comedy this film called AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS

My hopes and best wishes for the family, feeling a bit besieged that way myself right now, taking care of my sister who nearly got destroyed by the damn norovirus, managed to get home then got sick again, got an infection from a penny sized kidney stone. The Planet of the Apes were good, especially the 1st 2. Working Girl, yet more Sigourney Weaver, you're getting a bunch of hers, if you ever get to Annie Hall, I ll tell you where to find her in it, only there for a minute.

I really enjoyed both your reaction to Gladiator (2000), please react to more Ridley Scott films! I think you would both love Thelma & Louise (1991). It made Brad Pitt the A-List star he is today!

Every Valentine's Day we watch True Romance & Seven. Booze & a great dinner at home.

Is Carly going to have Breakfast with you and Tiffany, if so, you should eat more than Popcorn.

Very interested to see what you make of Planet of the Apes. If your planning on watching the franchise I’d personally suggest after watching the one from 1968. Just jump straight to the later ones starting with the one in 2011. As the sequels to the 68 film are average at best and the direct sequel to the original is shockingly bad Imo. I don’t really want to say why just in case you decide to watch them all. I’m sure your going to love Working Girl and whatever wins the poll.

Sorry about your kid whose struggling. Its hard to see that from your kids. Hope it all works out. Thank you for the starting Planet of the Apes. I really hope you enjoy this franchise.

You and Carly wil Love-Love-Love WORKING GIRL. Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford had great chemistry and it's a fun story. Can't believe you've not seen this RomCom but looking forward to watching it with you!

Will you be opening more packages soon Cassie? I was thinking of posting you a few packets of Cadbury Mini Eggs- the new orange flavoured eggs. I don't think they're available in USA or Canada, they were introduced in the UK last year

First, about your kid dealing with something really hard.....just pray and I am sure what you need to do will be revealed. I hope, if it's not too late, that Carly gets to watch Working Girl with you if she's never seen it. I believe Easter candy beats Valentine's 🤣 "Better Off Dead" is my recommendation for a rom-com. A very young John Cusack and one of my favorite movies for pure enjoyment.

No mention of the SPIN.

Face Off!! I want u to do face off so bad!!!!

Any plans to watch Fallout? Like The Last of Us, it's one of the few video game to film adaptations that's actually good. And you don't have to have experienced the game to understand.

WORKING GIRL! Very %&@#ing cool...love this movie.

"I know, I know, a made up holiday by Hallmark ;)" Valentine's Day is, like, 1200 years old. "Do any of you have any fun plans for Valentines Day?" Maybe a nap? I might watch a Shondo vod- I have a few up in different tabs already.

I think and hope you’ll do the original Apes from 1968 and then jump to the last 4 movies from 2011-2024. That should more than do it, we’ve had way too many franchises stretching beyond 5 movies imo.

Planet of the Apes 1968 at last!! Yessss! One of the finest and most intelligent science fiction movies ever made. With Ben-Hur himself! 😏 And Working Girl! Oh my heart! It has always been one of my "five picks" should I had ever won a trivia contest, a pursuit now in my distant dreams because I am so bad at it! But boy will Cassie love, love, love this movie. The headliners are Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver, but don't be fooled, the real star is Melanie Griffith. Can't wait for this one. And I'm sure the Romance winner will be a memorable reaction! Edit: After actually reading the post, if Carly could watch both Apes and Working Girl, she would love both and it would boost both reactions!!

What Star Trek characters get a tattoo? Leave it to Cassie to answer the big questions. 😂 Wouldn't mind you picking up a few TNG episodes. You know just for funsies. Nice line up this week.

OG planet of the apes lets go!

Finally getting to the Apes movie, can't wait! Hail Caesar!

Working girl great pick. Great Valentine’s movie would be what women want cassie came out in 2000

Love to see your reaction to the original Planet of the Apes; and I hope you’ll go on with the sequels that follow, especially Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972).

It’s safe to say Cassie is going to love Working Girl. I can barely remember it so it’s going to be a good trip down memory lane. If I’m especially bored this week I may watch the Planet of the Apes reaction just to understand the Spaceballs joke a little better, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

I'm surprised Valentines Day is not one of your favorite holidays.

Hope all is okay with your family 🤞❤️🙏

YAY!! Working Girl!! I know you will love this one.

Who is this Harrison Ford dude, man he pops up on here all the time. 😆

Couldn't care less about the Oscars, etc., but I do look forward to another night of the Poppies. :)

PS- the reaction with Carly to the first one was great

I hope whatever is bothering your baby will work itself out. Helpless feeling at times for the parents but the best thing sometime just listening to them whenever they’re ready to share. Sometimes kids can figure it out for themselves.

Just because we have to suffer through the original apes doesn't mean you should make Carly suffer as well 😂

Finally saw Gladiator 2. Gotta say it didn’t do anything for me. It’s an unfair comparison against one of my favorite all time movies though. But I am curious about what others thought about it.

Carly Simon!

Nothing from this century 😮‍💨

I hate Valentine's Day. That's my birthday so whether I'm single or in a relationship, it seems like I always lose. 🤣

Working Girl is going to be a fun watch

Cant wait for face off!!

Working Girl 👍

Def looking forward to Working Girl POTA

Ooooomg Working Girl! I have been dying for you to watch that forever! Amazing, gonna make my week!

So excited for Planet of the Apes. Can't wait.

Did you have to tease The Philadelphia Story?!
