Update
This has been a lonnnngggg day, I am so tired and is it Friday yet? I just can't be good if my kids aren't good, and one of them is worrisomely sick and we have to wait for answers and it's so hard. I just have this knot in my stomach and anyways just want to let you know what's going on sometimes.
I wanted to thank you all who came to the LIVE on Saturday. Sorry it was so long haha, couldn't stop yapping as usual ;)
This week we have got zombies (I know, i know not really zombies-mushroom heads) and monkeys and apes! I actually am dying to watch the next POTA movie! We also have a mothers day poll with some of my own maja's fave flicks! It looks like Double Jeopardy is trebekking away with it. Get it? A stretch I know! I told her next time we will just put Australia on the poll because that's the one she just really wants haha
Only one more day in April, that means Wednesday is the last day to enter the PiB Pick-a-Flick! Can't wait to see what and who wins in the lovely month of May! Go here for all the info and to submit your pick!
I'm going to do the Extra Butter hangout this Friday night ( I know I'm a few days late) We're going to try the new patreon hangout thingy. I'll keep you posted with deets, but if its smooth, it could be a great option!
On Popcorn to Go Podcast this week we talked about Letterboxd Love and the some of the most famous top 4's! We also have a patreon exclusive episode coming tomorrow about the theatre experience these days (chicken jockey anyone?) Go check check check it out!
Ok hope the sun is shining, the plants are budding, and the movies are moving you this week!

Hope your kids are feeling better 🙏
Cassie has mentioned on several occasions she wants to watch "Man of Steel". I'm on board with that, maybe a PPoTM in May or June.
The reaction is N((DING!)) What did she say? She said the reaction is near!
Good line up Cassie, looking forward to them. I really hope everything is ok with your little one?! It must be so upsetting and frustrating for you to not know what is wrong with your sick child. I hope everything is now ok and you and your family can move on from this illness. You are the best ❤️
"2 Monkey's"? Must be inflation.
I have known a bunch of folks (myself included) feeling under the weather lately. Hope everyone feels better! Mike the Ginger
A lot of it is allergies or sinus pressure or migraine tension headache stuff.
All the love. I hope your kids gets better real soon.
🙏🙏🙏🙏 for your family and Love 💓💓💓💓💓
Don’t forget to add the Mark Mahlberg POTA movie to your list.
Praying for your sick kiddo please keep us posted..
Haven't seen a YT edit for "A Matter of Life and Death". Maybe it stays patreon only.
YT releases seem to be a bit jumbled at the moment, probably due to some being stuck in copyright. Cape Fear should've come out before Passion of the Christ, and Matter of Life and Death should be out before Willow and Dawn of POTA. I don't think Cassie does Patreon only reactions anymore, so I expect it'll turn up eventually.
Okay Cassie, NOW I am really concerned. Not wanting to be a nagging brother/father/cousin/whatever again, but I am wondering if all of this is because of that trip to Mexico. The fact you have been sick and now one of your kids is very sick I have to wonder. How about your husband Ben? Has he had any symptoms? I am sorry if my big heart sometimes doesn't go with my big mouth. I hope you are okay, I hope your kids are okay, I hope Carly is okay, I hope all of you are okay. I don't trust Mexico at all, I am glad you guys had a good time, but I don't want to ever go there. And don't worry about your video reactions. You and your family are more important than any videos, we can wait for however long it takes, health is way more important. Be good to yourself, sweet lady.
I hope and pray your kid gets better as soon as possible. Don't feel bad for one second if this causes a delay in reactions.
There is no more helpless a feeling than a sick loved on. Prayers to you and Ben your family, Cassie.
Hope everything turns out okay.
Hope everything is well with your child, Cassie.
I hope everything works out well with your kiddo, Cassie. Not knowing can be tough. Also, on a lighter note, just keep in mind that the director of "12 Monkeys" is the coconut clacking squire "Patsy" from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
I’m so sorry to hear about one of your kids being sick. I hope you have answers soon, the recovery is quick, and you and Ben can exhale. Like Frank Buckman says in Parenthood regarding worrying about your kids. “It just never ends”. Can not wait for you and Carly to see War for the POTA! I’m thrilled that both of you are so invested in this reboot series! Some of the best writing, acting (with motion capture no less!), and cinematography I’ve seen in a movie series since the LOTR trilogy. Not sure if I’ll be able to make the Extra Butter live this Friday. My youngest has her last final at college that day, and my wife and I haven’t decided yet if we’ll be leaving Friday evening after work or early Saturday morning to go bring her home for the summer. So excited to have her back home again! But, if we decide to leave Saturday morning, then I’ll see you at the live.
They're getting out early this year. Some years it's early June around here.
Feel better soon, Cassie Jr.
Just watched DOTPOTA to be sure I'm ahead of your schedule and so looking forward to the scary Cape reaction. And if there's ever a best mom ever poll you're getting my vote.
Early nominee for Best Jump Scare in there.
Hi Cassie, I wish your little one a speedy recovery. I was a very sick kid growing up and put my parents through a lot. No Google to quickly diagnose symptoms, endless emergency doctor and hospital visits in the middle of the night, lots of school missed. My mother's love and comfort is what I remember the most from that time of my life and when I mention it to her now, I can see the pride in her eyes and her face that she knows she did a wonderful job as a mum. There's no definitive guidebook for good parenting so telling her I appreciate her lets her know how important she was to me when I was at my weakest. Strong as an ox now and mentally resilient. Looking forward to more POTA, I hope kingdom of the POTA is on your list too because like the predator franchise has the movie Prey(2022) where it's a separate story but set in the same universe, Kingdom of the POTA kind of does the same thing by giving us an apes adjacent story set in the same universe but not necessarily closely connected to the original trilogy of movies.
I sincerely hope both you and your kid gets well soon, Cassie. I really enjoyed the package opening last Saturday. i was so thrilled that the Cadbury's Orange Mini Eggs reached you in time! I had only sent them off 10 days prior from my home town of Wrexham, UK! It was so nice that you kept a bag of them open by your laptop for the rest of the package opening! I will definitely send you more in the future! GET WELL SOON!!!
You are one Super Mom Cassie just don't over do yourself. I hope your kid gets well soon, and take one step a t a time.
A real Dystopia Week happening in the PIB theater. Hope you and your kid are alright. Sending healthy thoughts. I'll try to digest the negative ones and dispose of them properly for you.
Hey Cassie I'll keep your child in my prayers.
You could always throw your mom for a loop and watch Faraway Downs on Hulu/Disney....whichich is the extended version of Australia in a Six part Mini Series.....re-released in 2023. Wonder if she has seen that??? Can't wait for 12 Monkeys..great movie and really good series..
Your header shows war of the planet of the apes… did you skip dawn of the planet of the apes?
No, she reacted to Dawn. The full reaction to Dawn posted to Patreon on April 21.
Looking forward to 12 Monkeys, if only to see Cassie's reaction to Brad Pitt with Bill Cosby eyes.
Okey, but i've been waiting for Leon for hour's now. just tell me, how is your children more important than me? No, JK... Take your time, as long as you need. But after 2-3 years i might unsubscribe. but until then your safe.
I am sorry to hear that you kid is struggling with some health issues at the moment. I know that this can be a very stressful time for you and your family. I am hoping that things will get better for your child as soon as possible.
Sorry your kiddo is sick, I hope the news is quick and positive with a speedy recovery.
My my, you've really been going through it lately. If there's any justice in the world, Cassie, you are currently building up credit for a pretty massive bit of positive payback. I predict that Tom Cruise is going to invite you to the next MI premiere and this time he's going to have a special bed installed in the cinema, front and centre, so you can watch the movie the PiB way. At various points of the movie, you and Carly will be joined on the bed by Tom himself, Chris McQuarrie, and special guest stars Brad Pitt and Pedro Pascal, who Tom has specifically invited as a thankyou for all the publicity you've given his films. Don't worry about Ben while all this is going on. Tom's got Sofia Vergara lined up to sit with him. Feel better, Cassie. Good things come to good people eventually.
That’s a seriously detailed story you have there, Clarence.
Sending positive waves to you and your kid. I had a hard time resting or relaxing when my kids were sick. As for the content this week, I already watched your emotional reaction to LoU S2E3, and looking forward to your reactions to 12 Monkeys and War.
Cassie, I’m sorry to hear about your young one. With all that’s going on in your life, it’s got to be so overwhelming at times. I wouldn’t blame you and would completely understand if you needed to take a step back so you could look after your family. Please do what’s best for you and your family. - Thomas
12 MONKEYS will be a trippy movie for you I'm sure. It's great mind-bending science fiction with excellent performances by Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt. It's also quite stylish, atmospheric and visually striking. It's a remake of a short French film called LA JETTE and it is this channel's introduction to the wondrous, bizarre, grotesque and fantastic cinema of Terry Gilliam (not counting MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, which he co-directed with Terry Jones), one of the most unique and imaginative filmmakers of the last 50 years. If you are interested in seeing any more of his films, I recommend TIME BANDITS (a beloved film of my childhood) BRAZIL (arguably his best and probably his darkest work), THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN (a flop when it was released, but a cult classic), THE FISHER KING (one of my favorite films and one of the five movies I picked when I won trivia night), THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNACUS (Heath Ledgers's final performance), FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS (strange movie with Johnny Depp giving an uncanny performance as Hunter S. Thompson) and THE MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE (a passion project he has spent most of his career trying to make but his attempts kept getting frustrated; it is chronicled in the terrific documentary LOST IN LA NANCHA). Looking forward to that reaction as well.
I see PAF as about the only option for most of these films. Same for many of my favorites, just almost zero chance any could get a reaction.
Future don't look great on all the timelines in this week's list 😶, I'll miss out on the butter live so hopefully the patreon version has a catchup too. Hope your kid feels better soon.
Lol for real. Dystopia Week has begun. Just add some The Road and Oblivion to have a really fun time.
Make sure you bring your tissues to one of the movies this week.
Maybe even to all of them.
Praying that everything comes back ok with everything going on with your kid, hope they feel better.
"Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" is a lot of fun. I'm a sucker for quest stories so this is right up my alley. Noah the lead character goes on a quest meets a wiseman or wiseape if you will and human girl. Good stuff.
She's gotta do WAR first
So sad to hear your child does not feel well. Take as much time as you need to see to her health and your own. Your family and your health will always be your first responsibility.
When you both finished watching DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, I remember Carly saying that she liked the movies but didn't enjoy the "war" parts. I remember thinking she probably won't be happy when she sees the title of the next one. Nonetheless, it us very good (almost as good as DAWN) and I'm looking forward to your reaction.
Be well all 🙏❤️🤞
Prayers for your little one and the family.
Hey Cass, I'm sorry to hear about one of your kids not feeling well, my heart and prayers go out to y'all and I hope your child has a speedy recovery! It's always nice to see you and chat with you during your live streams opening packages, I look at it as an opportunity to get to know you better, and no need to apologize for making it so long, I say the longer the more fun lol! I do have plans to send you another package soon, IDK when! I know you always say that I don't have to send you anything, but I want to anyway because I love making you smile lol! I'm looking forward to your YT edit of "Willow" and hopefully I can "Super Chat" as much trivia about the movie during the premiere lol! Once again, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for loving that movie, it means a lot to me! Anyway, hope your kid gets better soon, love and support always, you and Carly are the best and God bless y'all and the family [virtual hugs] 🥰😇🙏😁🤗😉👍✌🌹
I'm curious about filming locations for that. So if you have any inside info on that I'll be listening. lol

If you ever need to, you can always take a break from reactions. A reactor (Natalie Gold) took June off last year to recharge. You could do the same. But like with anything, Captain’s prerogative….
That's interesting. Any idea if she paused her Patreon or something like that?
Thoughts and prayers to your child.
Our support and prayers to you and the family.
Sorry to hear your child is sick, I hope you get the answers you need very soon x please take care of yourself and your family first. We’ll still be here when you can.
Sending good thoughts your way and praying your kid gets better soon!
I hope your kid gets well soon. Taking care of your family comes first. 🙏
