I know many don’t care for it but we need JAWS 2, in honor of the original’s 50th anniversary! (Personally I think the sequel is underrated)

Haven't seen Patton in years. George C. Scott was phenomenal though, if I remember

Ooh, D&D is awesome. Any idea when it's getting posted?

Off topic: It is announced that Spaceballs 2 will be in theaters in 2027. Rick Moranis will return for the first time in decades.

Oddly, "This week on YT" was not posted here, but I see it on Instagram. "Sum of All Fears" and "Deepwater Horizon" are listed for YT this week.

Patton! I'm so glad she's going to watch this finally. It's such a good movie.

"30 years from now, when you're sitting around your fire side, with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you "What did you do in the great World War II?", you won't have to say "Well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana"

Can't wait for Patton, funny enough I like to watch this movie as I bake.

Great choices. Been wanting you to react to Patton for awhile now. Also, To Kill a Mocking Bird is an incredible choice! This film adapted from Harper Lees novel was one of the 20th centuries great American novels and starring Gregory Peck in possibly his best performance

So much fun and good stuff going on on this channel. When Popcorn to go resumes after the summer, there will be so much to talk about.. Cassie remembers sunscreen! If it’s not too personal, I hope we get to see some wonderful wedding photos

An open letter to Cassie. I feel funny saying this because 'You’re So Good To Me' already, but in honour of Brian Wilson, 'Wouldn’t It Be Nice' if we could 'Break Away' from your chimp-centric monkey movies and watch Every Which Way But Loose? We’ve also been getting some 'Good Vibrations' about The Towering Inferno, so basically 'I’m Waiting For The Day'. 'When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)', I want to be Cool Hand Luke, so maybe you could watch that one too. I already know you’ll be watching Game of Thrones 'All Summer Long', but 'God Only Knows' when you’ll get to The Fly. A 'Heroes and Villains' poll would be good too, cos Bullitt would win that in a landslide, and even though you’ve already watched Cast Away, we won’t exactly be mad if you 'Do It Again'. I talk about a lot of great films on here, but sooner or later 'I Get Around' to Cannonball Run. Some might think I’m loco in 'Kokomo', but it’s only because I know it’ll be 'Fun Fun Fun' for you to watch. Thank you for being here for us, Cassie. You're a real 'Darlin'. (Rest in peace, Brian Wilson. Without you, this post would not exist.)

Long overdue for another "Martial Arts" Poll I say. Last one was way back in Nov 2023....seems like a lifetime ago, lol. Who doesn't love some whoop-a$$ movies? Here were the poll results. Enter the Dragon should have been watched also guys...just saying.😢 Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2000) 31% Enter the Dragon (1973) 22% The Raid (2011) 9% IP Man (2008) 9% Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993) 7% Kung Fu Hustle (2004) 6% Police Story (1985) 6% The Last Dragon (1985) 5% Hero (2002) 3% Kiss of the Dragon (2001) 2%

Legendary Brian Wilson has passed away. On my dad’s bday 😭 Cassie - you should checkout the “The Beach Boys: An American Family” (2000). What a musical genius. He was my mom’s patient at Cedars when he had his surgery. He was so nice and gave my mom and the rest of the RNs flowers. 💐 He will be deeply missed.

Patton won Best Picture, Best Actor (though George C Scott turned it down), Best Director and other Academy awards. Pretty impressive for a War Film when you consider this was 1970 and the Vietnam War was still going on. The iconic opening scene, the Speech, was based off of two speeches that Patton gave. The language was toned down to keep it a "PG" rating. In the speech, given in 1944, he was a 4 star General. But the movie than switches to when he was a 2-star being promoted to a 3-star General around 1942 timeframe. Thanks for reacting to this and to all those who voted for it. Not a lot if any other reactions to such an iconic movie.

I clicked on the "HERE" link you provided to confirm my pick a flick submission this month. There it was on 6/3. So I am good.

Patton is an absolute must watch. George C Scott at his finest

I used to play Dungeons and Dragons when I was 11 or 12 in the the very early 1980s (those scenes in “Stranger Things” could’ve been shot at my house or the house of a friend, it was so reminiscent of my experiences). But I only played once since then and that was in the late 80s. So I have no idea what the game has evolved into. I certainly recognized many things in the film, but was also completely ignorant of some of the classes and creatures featured. I enjoyed it, but didn’t connect with it the way I probably would’ve if it had been based on the early years of the game. So I’m curious: If there are any people that currently play the game that also frequent these forums, how accurate a representation of the current game is the film?

Great week. Looking forward to all 3. The Mondee Updeetee graphic is nice eye-catching and professional looking.

I was wondering Cassie, will we be getting a YouTube edit of your “The Sum of all Fears” reaction anytime soon?

Lloyd ya tons too Cassie too you're the best reactor

FYI. I used to have sunlight sensitivity and then I heard about Peptides. Now that I’ve stopped wearing Sun Glasses I don’t have any more sun issues.

Given everything going on it’s a weird move to celebrate the army’s anniversary.

90’s night!

Bugger why do I work weekend nights will miss another Trivia, not that I do particularly well but probably first year i've watched solely the full reactions. Looking forward to Patton must be one of the films that you cross off your movie poster, cant be many left now.

Thank you, Cassie! Sounds like a lovely week was had by all. A few quick things about Gen. Patton that are not spoilers but may inform your viewing: 1) He never disobeyed an order. 2) Gen. Bradley, who is depicted as a "nice guy" in the movie, was a mediocre general and intensely jealous of Patton. It was learned years later that Bradley was supportive of Patton to his face, but working against him with Eisenhower behind the scenes. Coppola used Bradley's autobiography (which was actually written by his aide, Chet Hansen, who is depicted in the movie) as the primary source material. 3) Coppola wrote this screenplay during the Vietnam War and has admitted that his opposition to that war influenced some of the ways he depicted Patton. 4) None of this is to say Patton is a saint. He was a deeply flawed human being, and a military and logistics genius. I had the honor of speaking to several men who served under him in the 1990s and all eight of them said he drove them hard, but they respected him and believed he loved his men. One even said outright that he loved serving in 3rd Army because, "We were the best and he made us the best. And he let us know we were the best and tried to get us food and equipment whenever we needed it. But what impressed me most is he would come right up to the front lines during the fighting and be right there with us. I saw him more moving between the line than any major or colonel. There he was a three-star (general) with bullets and mortar shells flying around, and every other general was back at HQ. Every time he did that I couldn't believe it. But there he was."

This is going to be a monumental week on PIB!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We’re getting close to a year since the last Classic Horror (or monster poll, whatever you want to call it ) poll. Time for the second annual Classic Horror (monster) poll, with Horror of Dracula as one of the poll choices this year. Cassie, you didn’t really think I would be satisfied with just one, did you? We already missed the second annual Martial Arts poll, that was bad enough, skipping the Classic Horror (monster) poll would be a travesty!

Over hill, over dale, as we hit the dusty trail...

Someone let me know what Patreon level can do pick a flick.thanks.

I always enjoyed the film critic James Bernadelli. He made a great top 100 of his favorite films, and Patton is #1

Cassie I think you forgot to paste in the upcoming YouTube releases 😕

It’s finally starting to feel a little like summer here temperature wise, but we’re still getting a lot of April-like showers, especially on the weekends ☹️. And since I do most of my yard work on weekends, I am now behind schedule. The pool is opening this weekend, so hopefully by the time it’s ready for splishin’ and splashin’ Mother Nature will cooperate. I’m looking forward to Father’s Day this Sunday. Our tradition is going to my brother in law’s house for bbq and board games with three generations of dads. Looking forward to trivia night! I have a lot to prove to myself since I tanked big time the last two trivia nights. Since it’s a possible 90s theme, will this be my night for redemption? Probably not…but it’s nice to have dreams. Also looking forward to the Father’s Day Poll winner(s). There are some really good potential winners.

Everyone show of hands if you want the girls to Michelle Rodriguez again in Fast & Furious series ✋🏿:

I’d recommend Game Night over Dungeons and Dragons but I’m not a tabletop gamer so I think I missed a lot of the humour in that movie. I did have a chuckle at Patton for the 250th anniversary of the US army. Excited for Zorro (hopefully).

I'm not quite sure Patton is the right war film to celebrate the Army's 250th, but sure, OK, I'll go along with it. It is a superior film, a monumental biography, and Cassie will be enthralled with it. But be careful about the teasers in the headline. The Mockingbird reference almost gave me a coronary. It's a dream (rewatch) reaction of mine!! I'm hoping for The Mask of Zorro, too. D&D will more than do in the meantime!

I'm glad you're having a great time Cassie, can't really say the same for myself, not to ruin the mood lol! I'm just telling it like it is, work has been kicking my butt lately, every time in the Summer it gets crazy, let alone I've been doing overtime almost ever shift since this year started and we've been short-handed a few dishwashers, ugh! However, all is not lost, as I'm typing this comment, I just finished watching a hilarious Military/Comedy movie from my childhood growing up that I highly recommend you do a reaction to someday, "Down Periscope (96)" great cast of actors such as Kelsey Grammer, Lauren Holly, Rip Torn, Bruce Dern, William H. Macy and Harry Dean Stanton.... oh and Rob Schnieder lol🤣 Gosh, I forgot how funny this movie was, I couldn't breathe LOL🤣🤣🤣 It was a laugh I needed! I'm really looking forward to your "Patton" reaction, it's a great movie! While in real life, General George S. Patton was a bit of a hard-a**, there is much to admire about him! And I think George C. Scott really captures the attitude of that General with his performance! I actually have the whole opening scene from that movie memorized word for word, you'll know what I mean lol! Looks like finally I'll be able to participate in a Trivia Game since Friday is my day off, at least this will be my second time joining in, looking forward to it! Be sure to check your PM's on your Insta. when you get a chance lol😁 Love and support, you (and Carly) are the best, have a great week, hope your son is doing better, and God bless y'all and the family🥰😇🙏😁🤗😉👍✌🌹

Ooh 'esteemed colleague' has kind of a nice ring to it. But 'friend' is pretty heartwarming. Thank you.

Two iconic films and one quirky, very fun surprise (because it was actually good). What's not to like here?

Well, I kind of lost my job this week due to AI. Working for an IT services provider I haven't spent a single day off project for the last 14 years. But now was ramped down from this current project after 3 years without another one in sight, because the customer wants to implement a new approach and replace most of the development staff with an AI driven solution. I admit, I didn't see AI coming for my job this soon. 😅 D&D I will pass on. Seen it but couldn't really get invested. I'm modestly interested in Patton. Although I would want to see several other movie reactions from that true story poll more, this is a film I haven't seen in a while and will be the first "classic" war movie on the channel. As for the Father's Day winner, I'm really sad to see Billy Elliot doing so bad. Based on the current result, I would bet on The Mask of Zorro as the final winner. Although I hope that The Road to Perdition may have a chance in the finals.

So as much as we like everything that you do. We will watch Patton with this, that's a great flick. Dungeons and Dragons yeah not touching that one. Although you will still get a heart. Father's Day poll with Zorro going to win. I feel like my friends and snuck into the movies to watch that one in 1998. Gf and I both gave it a 5/10 So we didn't think it was very good. I am glad you had a good week. Next Franchise how about Dirty Harry?. Anyway we have decided to go golfing this weekend. Of course we have the Cubs game on Saturday. Friday night we are going to see Materialists. Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans. So romantic. So we will definitely give you hearts from us just because, we always trust your reaction. Your reaction are always great. It's just some movies. Well we just rather not see or see again. You know this last week is the anniversary of Bobby Kennedy's death. That memorable train ride . All those people standing by the train saluting hands on their hearts. We would never do that for anyone today. https://youtu.be/PZsKqr1Tz3Y?si=q8y0dKJuw88OKLFO We will watch Patton with you but otherwise have great week!

Oh no. There are no Youtube edits this week! It's starting, people. We thought a Matter Of Life and Death was a one-off, but Cassie just sent a clear message that from now on, four out of every five movies is going to be Patreon only. I may be overreacting.

"For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph - a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts, laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning...that all glory is fleeting." Also: "Sir! Patton's taken Palermo!" "DAMN!" I cannot wait for this! It's one of my top 10 movies ever.

Hi Cassie, I’ve literally just finished “A monster Calls” so I’m just recovering from that! You really tug on the old heart strings! Great line up and very different types of movies. I think I will really try to make the quiz this time, I’ve just got to figure out how it works. I’ve never been able to find how to join in on the live stuff or chat! I might have to ask the wife for tech support 😆 I’m feeling withdrawal symptoms with missing Popcorn to Go, I’m looking forward to your next podcast. I would love to hear more about your acting? What is you favourite Shakespeare play? What other Actresses are your favourites and why? Best performances? Maybe you could give us a critique on what makes a good Actresses? Anyways, have a good week. You are the best ❤️

Had a blast going to Detroit on Sunday watching the Tigers blank the Cubs (sorry Zackary K.) 4-0. Plus, myself and my father was a part of a record setting attendance of over 121,000 people attended the 3 game series. Guess the Tigers and the Cubs have the best fans. 🙂 Anyway, looking forward to the pick a flick for June and Patton. And whoever win the Father’s Day poll…

90s movies are mostly awesome so, looking forward to that. As long as it's not Hocus Pocus, because they haven't added a word to the dictionary to describe how much I hate that movie. LOL.
