Happy Day! It's Ben's Birthday! Trying to focus on all the good I can these days. A crispy cold Diet Coke, my youngest saying "is this milk inspired?" (expired..and it wasn't), putting fresh sheets on the bed, throwing a "strawberry party" with friends just because. What are some of your daily delights you have noticed?
I'm also looking forward to travelling home to canada (minus the drive) It is my Grandma's 90th birthday and we are celebrating on Canada Day and my cousins from all over Canada and the US are coming! I can't wait.
This week in Cassie's Box office we have The Aviator, 2001 POTA and Ben's Birthday Poll winner which at the moment is Rounders! The Dragon one is not too far behind.
This weekend on Friday is our 9th 90's TRIVIA night! All patrons are welcome (free and paid members) Remember the winner gets to submit 5 movies of their choosing for me to watch and I will pick one or poll it! Also $100 amazon gift card to the winner, $75 to second place, $50 for third and $25 for 4th and 5th place! My mods are amazing and do the trivia questions without me seeing so I get to participate as well. Not all heroes wear capes!
Also a few reminders again:
SIX more days to enter this month's Pick-a-Flick. Make sure to submit any day in June for the drawing in July. All the info and submitting is right HERE!
For the extra butter live this month, it will most likely be a watch-along (I'm trying to bank up reactions for my time in Canada) or we could do an impromptu patreon live on my phone during my 12 hour drive to Canada on Monday and just chat and eat gas station snacks?
I will be taking off one week in July for patreon uploads while we are visiting home, but I will do a post highlighting some of my fav reactions you may have missed in the past few years you can go back and watch!
Ok thanks a millie!
Love you all,
Cassie

Happy Canada Day Tuesday I think,we asked for the Monday so be a 4 day weekend. I usually watch the Celebrations on the Hill in Ottawa on CBC .From Ontario maybe someday I will make it to Ottawa, about 6 hrs from here I think . Do have a Niece there but hate Crowds.🇨🇦 Enjoy your trip and Celebrations. Rounders is a Good Movie.Lets just say Suspenseful.
There was a "surprise" reaction teased last week.
Cool Hand Luke. She told me with her subliminals.
Rounders!!!!
Happy birthday Ben 🥳🥳🥳
Happy birthday to Ben. I look forward to seeing Shakespeare In Love. Have a safe trip and day hi to your Grandma for us. Take care Cassie
Happy B-Day to Ben! Also, thinking about it, at this point I really do think it’s worth watching Battle for the Planet of the Apes. It’s honestly a great conclusion to the original films, and why not go for completionism at this stage when after the Tim Burton film it’s the only one left?
THe Aviator is one of my favorite Leo movies.
So this week marks the 50th anniversary of when Jaws (1975) was first released in cinemas. I recently purchased an official Lego model of the Jaws boat with minifigures of Chief Brody, Matt Hooper and Quint, and the shark itself! https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/jaws-21350
I think that you are going to need a bigger boat.
Really looking fwd to your reaction to Shakespeare in Love. Surprise winner of 7 Academy Awards include Best Picture. Fun, Romance, Elizabethan England, just the best one can ask for. If you aren't up on Shakespeare you'll get a little more out of the movie if you read Romeo and Juliet first, or watch the 1968 Romeo and Juliet first. Kind of like Top Gun Maverick. It a great film on it's one but it has a lot of Top Gun references that make it even more enjoyable.
If you have access to full reactions, her full reaction to Shakespeare in Love is posted below on June 9.
I can’t believe Ben and I share the same birthday month possibly the same birthdate today is my birthday also. Hope he has a wonderful day on his birthday. Enjoy every moment every day of every year is precious.
Happy Birthday!
I agree that milk is inspired (When you stir in the chocolate syrup) , and so would Leon the professional...probably. Happy birthday to Ben and Grandma popcorn, 90 yrs young! Looking forward to the reacts.
The Bandit can run interference for Cassie's road trip! Cassie and the Bandit!
Fo sho', fo sho'! We gon', killer.
Happy birthday to your grandma.
Lol that kinda sounds like an insult but it's actually nice.
Happy Birthday to Ben 🎂🥳🎊🎉 and your grandmother! My daily delights, at least when I can, just sitting at my computer desk drinking a soda while playing The Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim or Fallout 4, and of course watching your reactions to any of my favorite movies you've watched on the channel lol 😁✌ Speaking of which, I re-watched your "PREDATOR" reaction recently, and I think it's high time you step back into that franchise and watch the other films, given that there's a new PREDATOR movie coming out this year that I'm so looking forward to seeing "PREDATOR - Bad Lands" lol! Have fun and safe travels back home to Canada! I've seen "The Aviator" once, it's good, but a little too long for me lol! So you're really going through with watching Tim Burton's take on "Planet of the Apes" eh, good luck lol! I saw Ben's Birthday Poll, some of those picks I've seen, but man "U-571" just can't get a break can it lol, that's a good movie! Can't wait to hopefully participate in your next Live Trivia, this will officially be my second time participating, since I've missed out on all previous ones, mer 😭 lol 😂 I once again submitted my pick-a-flick and I'm not giving up on it winning dang it lol 🤣 I've already seen your reactions to "Dungeons & Dragons" and "Patton" enjoyed both! Sorry to say, to each is own, but I loathe "Shakspeare In Love" not only because it beat out "Saving Private Ryan" for Best Picture at the Oscars, but because I had to watch it 4 times during my college years in my classes I took and OMG, it was too much 😱 But hey, if you liked it, knowing you with romance lol, more power to you lol ✌😁 If I may suggest something fun for you and the family to do in the month of July! This year in July will be Disneyland's 70th Anniversary, you and the family should try and celebrate it, I was there for it's 60th ten years ago and it was fun, like I said, just a suggestion lol! Take care Cassie, love and support, safe travels, Happy Birthday to Ben and your grandmother, you (and Carly) are the best, and God bless y'all and the family 🎂🥳🎊🎉🥰😇🙏🤗😁😉✌👍🌹 PS: Can you believe this year "JAWS" has turned 50 years old, that's crazy! I watched it last weekend with my friends, and at some point this week, I'm gonna watch you and Carly's full-length reaction to it for the first time ever lol "Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!" 🦈🦈🦈
All the best to you, Ben and your family Cassie! So I guess the next package opening will be next month or August now? That's absolutely fine, I haven't sent mine off in the post yet, and I'm based in the UK so I need more posting time than others!
Happy Birthday Ben! What exactly is a strawberry party? Is it where you all sit around and eat strawberries? Because sign me up I have been eating so many strawberries lately. Safe travels back home to Canada! My vote is impromptu live chat and gas station snacks- unless its a reaction to the long awaited LOTR behind the scenes content.
Happy Birthday Ben! The Mad Scientist Father of Popcorn in Bed!
As it's Ben's birthday, I think we should take the time to reflect on his Greatest Hits so far: 5) Suggesting Cassie do the channel in the first place. 4) Deliberately not telling her she was live again so the world could see her doing some impromptu yoga in the recent live. Thanks Ben! 3) Joining Cassie on the bed so she could finish watching The Shining, but also taking the chance to put the willies up her at crucial moments. I believe this was the first appearance of the now-legendary 'Hand of Ben'. 2) Giving Cassie a fireman's lift into the reaction room when she's got the flu or the shingles or the bow-legged rickets and can't make it down the stairs on her own. I can picture him setting this semi-conscious rag doll in place on the bed, waving a bottle of smelling salts under her nose and shouting "GO!" as her eyes pop open. With her impeccable professional instincts, Cassie then launches into "HI GUYS!" as Ben backs out of the room. And, of course, the greatest moment of all..... 1) Bursting into the room at just the right moment while Cassie was watching Arachnophobia. We all love a jumpscare and that one was a doozy. Respect to you, Ben. Not many husbands would put up with a wife who spends this much time lounging about in bed.
Yes indeed, that was a great one, especially as she thought the scare was coming a couple of seconds earlier and had just relaxed her guard. I also loved her outro, where she was totally freaked out and Ben was making fun of her for being too dramatic. "Mom, will you come pick me uuuuup?!"
Happy birthday Ben and grandma!
Happy birthday to your grandma! That is great that all of the aunts/uncles/cousins will be there to celebrate. I wonder how many times you will hear the following from the kids during the twelve hour drive: 1. “are we there yet?” 2. “how much longer?” 3. “I have to go to the bathroom!”
Ain’t that the truth with all of us? 😂
Happy birthday to Ben. I’m sending him a gift in the next package that in no way serves my own needs.
Happy Birthday! Mexican Coca Cola or nothing!
Happy Birthday Ben! - A crispy cold Diet Coke sounds pretty awesome too... they are more or less out-fased in Denmark at this time... Coke Zero still reigns...
I was wondering if your reaction of Born on the Fourth of July has been posted to YouTube yet?
Full length came out other day, i'd be surprised if the YT reaction isn't on the 4th anyway as it's normally about a week or two for there to be an edit
Any good strawberry party worth its salt should also include some beer, at least. And a LIVE from Random Stop, Canada sounds kind of inspired.
I think a good strawberry party should include a blender and some Bacardi rum to cook up some daiquiris.
Wow Cassie were just so impressed with your effortless style. We were so impressed with the amazing job on Born On The 4th Of July. I being called to bed. Son of a. With dogs and cats in tow. As soon as Born On The 4th was done she went straight to bed. I am going to set up a camera so I can figure out what these dogs and cats do at night while we sleep. We will watch the Fever game tomorrow. Anyway we hit the triple last week all 3 movies. So yeah Howard Hughes the Aviator great flick The Market Mark POTA is really not your style. Then Ben's birthday poll winner. Yeah I voted for Bruce Lee Enter The Dragon. I really could have voted for any movie but I can't vote against Lee who was really close with Sharon Tate. It was a hard choice though which ever one wins is going to be good watch for Cassie. Well I better turn off my phone now. She is fast asleep.
The major Daily Delight I’m noticing right now is Air Conditioning and an Ice Cold Bottle of Water. Working outside all day is a kick in the A$$ at the moment. Super excited for The Aviator and a journey back to Classic Hollywood. :-)
Oh man, I just watched the Burton 'Planet of the Apes' with Maple and Arianna at DietJesus. It was just as bad as I remembered it. It's just so weird, but not even in a good Tim Burton way.
I remember almost nothing about it. Except the scene at the end in DC. That was kind of neat. Oh and ape kids playing basketball. That's burned in my brain for some reason.
You’re watching the Tim Burton version? UGH!!!
Road trip with Cassie!
"my youngest saying 'is this milk inspired?' (expired..and it wasn't)" I can't believe I've never come across this particular joke yet: "Is the milk expired? No, not at all! In fact, it's positively *in*spired!" "putting fresh sheets on the bed" I shall be doing so in the next 1-2 days, but I'd hardly describe that as a delight. Then again, they're not Cozy Earth sheets. :-P "throwing a 'strawberry party' with friends just because" Because "Duh!". It's a strawberry party! What further justification could one need? "I'm also looking forward to travelling home to canada (minus the drive)" In which case you're not looking forward to traveling to Canada. You're looking forward to being there. :-| ... Yes, I have done editing work in the past. No, I wasn't particularly popular. :-) May your grandmother have a happy birthday. Enjoy the family get-together.
Making the bed sucks. But clean sheets are inspired.
Yayyyy PATTON (1970)! Also, show me all the blueprints.
Show me all the blueprints. Show me all the blueprints. Show me ALL the blueprints...it's called the H E R C U L E S!!!
Uh, who is Ben?
Her husband fyi.
Haaappy Biiirthdaaay to Beeeennnn H B D 2 U 😃 have a wonderful trip sounds great Happy Birthday to Grams , we just celebrated our Grams B day 97 🥰still going strong sharp as a tack . Love you , youre the best Reactor and person EVER ! 😊😁
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEN! Thanks for all the hard work behind the camera (literally and metaphorically)!
Another batch of movies I haven't seen before not that I mind too much as I've been enjoying alot of reactions recently to movies i'd probably never had watched if it wasn't for the channel.
Aviator is fascinating. Great film.
Have a great time back home! For my delights, I went to another Tigers game last week (3 games in 10 days…🥵), I even saw Top Gun in theaters for the first time as a flashback event. And, I don’t know your next live package openings, but I got one coming your way. What is it? As Maverick put it, “it’s classified”. 🙂
Enjoy and have a safe and great trip to The Great White North !!! Take off, eh !
Happy bd Ben!!...Did someone say Strawberries!!🍓After I wake everyone up i let the dog outside and put on the coffee,go to the stables to feed the horses and them thar chickens🍳in early August I'll bake a butterscotch cake(his fave) for my hubs birthday 🎂
Never heard of a butterscotch cake but it sounds yummy
As I have said before, Tim Burton's PLANET OF THE APES is almost universally loathed, but I didn't mind it so much. It's not exactly good, but it's not the atrocity that many claim it is. You might enjoy it, but I suspect it will definitely feel like a step down after the foremost recent movies. THE AVIATOR It's phenomenal. Directed by the Great Martin Scorsese (SHUTTER ISLAND, GOODFELLAS and THE DEPARTED), It's a biopic of Howard Hughes done in the style of the classic Hollywood spectacle. It's cast is huge (with Cate blanchett a particular standout in her oscar-winning performance as Katherine Hepburn) and it's story very compelling. You will learn about a very interesting chapter in American History from that movie... And I reiterate that once you know who Howard Hughes is, you should go watch the movie THE ROCKETEER. It's nothing like THE AVIATOR. It's a fun, rip-roaring adventure that you will enjoy, but who's experience will be enhanced by knowing who Howard Hughes is. As for Ben's birthday poll winner, I hope it's ENTER THE DRAGON. Since you've already seen ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, you should see a movie with the real Bruce Lee and this is probably his most iconic.
All sounds good.
Girls recommend Michelle Rodriguez again in Fast & Furious series especially Hobbs & Shaw 👌.
I'll be ready for you on Trivia Night, Cassie! Is the "surprise" reaction you mentioned in your previous update coming next week?
Please watch Enter the Dragon, even if it comes in second - it’s a iconic movie, and it does way better on YouTube than Rounders does.
YouTube
Milk IS inspired. Some might even say it does a body good. Looking forward to The Aviator most. Happy Canada Day! Please put in a good word for us with the Mounties. We're mostly not THAT horrible. Keep an eye out for Paul Giamatti in Planet of the Apes. Happy summer!
I'll resub for The Aviator. Just when I thought I was out..... They pull me back in
Nice lineup this week. Sounds like you are busy as a bee. I'm up for an extra butter watch along they are always fun. Hope you have safe travels and enjoy your Canadian family.
Have a safe and fun trip!
Safe travels, and 90 years is an amazing reason for a family to come together and celebrate. Congratulations
I hope when you see Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes you can explain the ending to me. After 24 years, I still don’t get it.
There's nothing to get. They didn't even have an explanation in mind when they came up with it.
If it makes it easier for you, and it seems like it does, do a watchalong for the butter tier. Maybe Encino Man😉😉
For the watch along might i suggest Batman Forever. Its the next one up and the one with Val Kilmer. I think having the XB patrons there to maybe explain some of the context and discuss it afterwards might me helpful
I’d rather she just skipped straight to revisiting the Christian Bale Trilogy.
Please watch Walk The Line with Carly. One of the best biopics ever Joaquin and Reese were fantastic
It's on the "already watched" list.
Great lineup! You’ll definitely like ‘Shakespeare in Love.’
The full reaction is below if you haven't seen it yet.
Be well popcorn fam ❤️🙏🤞
