June Pick-A-Flick Drawing (Recording)
Thanks everyone for being there! We had a few hundred people on the live. Sorry for the glitches but we figured it out. It's always much harder recording here in Canada .. Anyway, spoilers for the draw below!
Congrats to Wildmax on winning this month's draw! They chose the movie "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)"! As per usual I'll watch it before the next PAF drawing.
If you're part of the Kernel Club or higher make sure to submit your pick for next months drawing. You can do that here: https://go.popcorninbed.com/PickAFlick

Holy shit I got scared!
The Ghost and Mrs Muir is one of my favourite movies. I'm so excited that you're watching this! The score is just beautiful, I listen to it a lot when I'm driving or studying. I hope you'll like it!
Gene Tierney is awesome. This movie should be fun to watch with Cassie. I remember when I was little there was a t.v. series based off this story\movie.
450 entries. Well, if no one else joins the upper tiers, everyone will get their movie watched within the next 40 years!
And if I’m the last one picked, which is likely, I’ll only be 102 when that happens!…….. ya know, maybe we need a way to speed up this process?
The floods in Texas and tragedy at Camp Mystic is devastating. I went to the boys camp just across the river as a kid, and know many families whose kids still go to Mystic.
Over 100 dead so far. My God…
Guys. I've figured out why some people don't see their name pop out of the pan, no matter how much they slow the video down. I didn't see mine the first time (I was using the pause-play-pause-play method), but I've just gone through again at 0.25 speed and have discovered two things: Number 1 - Cassie's voice at 0.25 speed is either the cutest thing ever or the scariest thing ever. Either way, there are hard drugs involved. And number 2 - Some of us don't see our name pop out BECAUSE THE NAME NEVER ACTUALLY POPS OUT! I caught sight of mine at about 21:44, doing a steady, upward arc towards the top left hand curve of the pan. It then stopped (with just enough of my first name showing so I could see it was me), before continuing its arc back into the centre of the pan where it came to a final stop. It sat there for a few seconds, buried in other names, flashed off and on twice, then disappeared. Flag on the play, Cassie! You owe me a Cannonball Run reaction on the grounds that my bit of popcorn never actually left the pan. Technically, it just lay there getting overcrispy.
I have already asked the guy who made it for a list of the people popped to be on the side somewhere. I got a hesitant 'maybe' when he gets some time.
AHHHHHHHHH MANNNN. I WAS SO SO CLOSE. 2ND TO LAST. (I'm rockstarbd82) hahaha. Still that was exciting almost seeing my name get it. Here's to hoping I might win another time and that TRANSFOMERS: THE MOVIE 86' finally gets Cassie's reaction. YOU GOT THE TOUCH!!!! YOU GOT THE POWAAAAAAHHHH!!!
You're a better man than me, Billy. I would've topped myself with repeated blows to the head from a laptop.
those poor wee girls... absolutely heartbreaking. 🙏 condolences to their loved ones.aa
Congrats to Wildmax! I still feel like a winner even though my kernel clearly didn’t make it 😅 Not going to lie, I nerded out when Cassie read my submission comment 😂
All those films submitted, and only (34) I could get excited about. Some others were just middling and the rest a no-go. My beloved sci-fi and action genres were not well represented this month. These (10) were my favorites this month. Not ranked. 2001: A Space Odyssey Forbidden Planet 1956 Horror of Dracula 1958 Ip Man (2008) Mr. Brooks (2007) Reign of Fire 2002 The Blues Brothers (1980) The Fog (1980) The Hustler 1961 Three Days of the Condor (1975)
I always hope for less mainstream films, and am always disappointed.
OMG I was #3! So close to winning hahahaha. Congrats to Wildmax!
The pain is real when you come that close, lol.
I think at the end of the session Cassie mentioned a couple of places to make flood relief donations. It would be great if someone could update the landing page with the list of the donation sites.
Pick-a-flick gaslighted me last month. I know I made an entry in the first week of June, but when I checked on the last day, it wasn't there. I uploaded another one just to be sure and after a few minutes it appeared with the 6/30 entry date. Problem solved. Or so I thought. Thing is, that second entry was for Papillon (1973), but when Cassie scrolled through the list and my name came up, it said Cannonball Run instead. Another legendary movie, of course (I don't deal in anything else), but that's not the point. I'm assuming Cannonball Run was my first pick, but why would the algorithm revert to that one if I'd made a new entry? No big deal, and I'm assuming it's because Ben has to go through and manually delete the duplicates. I'm just curious. Had I won (and I came within about 400 of doing so), the world would have been unjustly robbed of a Papillon reaction.
Management always says it's only the last entry that counts...so management made an error.
I only got to see her live for less than a minute, and then she turned it off
That was a glitch, Struzzy. She came back afterwards and completed it.
My family used to watch that when it was a TV series back in the 1960s!
Sorry to hear about your family.
Once you start watching Game of Thrones good luck on being able to go over a week without watching an episode.
has she said at what pace she plans to watch it at? how many ep a week?
I actually managed to join this one live, which was really nice. I'm not sure why everyone is down on the Fantastic Four movies. The mid 2000s movies were super fun (Michael Chiklis as The Thing was perfection!) and the new one looks pretty good too. Maybe I have low standards? Lots of great nominations this month. I've never heard of The Ghost and Mrs Muir, but it sounds like an excellent pick. Congrats to WildMax!
I'm so sorry to hear about your tragedy in the family. I'll pray for all of you.
Glad this got posted so quickly as I was stuck at work (i'm one of those poor buggers who works weekends), do still miss the chat replay so hopefully patreon implement it at somepoint. New film to me but i'll watch it ofcourse i'm sure it will be good. Sorry to hear the sad news for your family and also those in the terrible floods.
Cassie- I am so sorry to hear about your extended families loss. Thoughts and prayers for your family.
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir is an enjoyable romance, and fits nicely next to Somewhere in Time, A Matter of Life & Death, and Portrait of Jennie. Portrait of Jennie I would rate least of them but still nice
I'm really sorry to hear about your extended family’s loss, Cassie. I heard about the flooding in Texas. It looked pretty bad. I'm from Tennessee, and it looked like we were getting hit with some of that same rough weather too. Sorry I missed your live video. Congrats to the winner though! I've been in Kentucky with my family for their reunion, spending time with them and setting off a few fireworks for the 4th this weekend. I hope you're having good time in Canada. I've been in Canada for our family vacation years ago. It was fun and my second time being outside of the U.S.! First time was Ireland! You're welcome Cassie! 😊🇨🇦🇺🇸
Submitted entries that she has already "seen" per popcornrequests: The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) Unstoppable (2010) Darkest Hour (2017) Once Upon A Time in Hollywood (2019) Slumdog Millionaire (2008) Spotlight (2015) That Thing You Do! (1996) Rounders (1998)
That she's seen Unstoppable hurts my heart. Would've been a great reaction.
Sorry I missed the live because it would be my first live now again after some changes to get back on track here on Patreon they cut the link where I can't get in. I'll watch tomorrow. I dont know why everyone is giving condolences yet but whatever happened I hope it works out and ill have you in my prayers until I watch the video and find out.
For GoT reaction frequency, I suggest a single reaction slot (w/2 episodes) each week. For most series you have reacted to, you had more than 1 episode per reaction slot.
Agreed
I saw Spotlight (2015) submitted by sio1996, which she has already seen.
I had a field day flooding her pick a flick horror suggestions on her spreadsheet this july. She's gonna have a blast on this one. Mwahhahaha
You know that’s a pain in the ass for Ben I’m sure. Why would you submit more than one?
Dang it. All these drawing so far and I have never seen my name get popped. I'm guessing it's always in that jumble at the beginning.
Wrong, Mike. I did quick pause all the way through and yours actually came out quite late.
Cassie I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers.
@Richard Maurer I deleted my comment by mistake. I didn’t know there was a show in the 60’s based on the movie.
No problem.
Remember, you get to submit one movie for pick-a-flick per month. I already see the same name has submitted multiple times. Like, so many times.
Only one will count though. They are probably going to get themselves banned if they keep it up month to month.
I'm sorry for your loss Cassie. I know how awful it must feel, but there will be good days ahead of you, I promise you that ❤️
A lot of entries this month. Nice to see the participation. Sorry I didn't quite understand what was happening with extended family but hope you're alright.
I mostly agree, but part of me wants most people to leave so I'm only up against 5 other picks. Cassie, please try to be more obnoxious.
Thanks for posting this for us Cassie, and I am very sorry for your loss
Sorry very sorry to hear of your family's loss. My prayers will be with you, your extended family and the people of Texas
Sorry for your loss Cassie.
Easy pass. Get em next time.
Cassie, Julie and I, express our deepest sympathies to your family. We are very sorry for your loss. I wrote to you a couple of times in the chat, but you may have missed it and I thought it would bring some good cheer to you right now. Kat Watches Horror Movies had a LIVE chat today to celebrate her 100k subscribers on YouTube. Your name was brought up a few times during the chat, and it was great hearing what she had to say about you. Cassie, if you ever do a simulcast/collaboration reaction, please make it with Kat. The two of you together would be a real treat. Best wishes to you, my friend. I'm going to keep nominating Nosferatu until I win!
yeah and Kat will force her to watch some of her horror stuff OUTSIDE the usual "Halloween only horror reactions" type of youtuber rule.
It is such a joy being part of this community, even through the sad stuff which makes us a True online family. The Movie is an excellent choice. Congratulations to the winner. Cassie, my heart goes out to your family. My prayers are with them.
Something about a summer camp? What happened?
