Update
Hey kernelers,
Hope you’re doing ok! We are still in the Great white North, and plan to be here for a little while longer. It has been so great and grounding to be here. It’s also been hard, my brother’s wife, who I love so much, her dad passed away very unexpectedly the other night. We grew up our whole lives with their family and he was such a big part of our community and extended family. It was heartbreaking to see her and her siblings go through this and my niece and nephew lose their young grandpa. We’ve been helping with my niece and nephew as much as we can and with the funeral. The funeral was today and it was so beautiful and special. Made me want to be a better person and really helps you remember what truly matters. My heart has been with Texas this week as well, unimaginable for the families of those children. I pray they can feel peace and the collective prayers of the country lifting them up.
We were able to sneak away to Waterton to camp a couple nights before the funeral and it is one of my very favorite places.
Rainbows among the storms! Thanks for being a happy, comforting , hopeful space here for me and so many others.
This week at the Cassie Box office we have a surprise (it’s just for fun), some Bruce Lee and some dun dun….dun dun… dun dun dun dun dun dun dun…..JAWS ….TWO
We also have a big POLLCEPTION poll and looks like we’ll be visiting our good friend, Mr. Spielberg again-I think we some greats left on his filmography and I’m excited! I’ll be doing a Popcorn Requests Poll (second place) as well. I saw the suggestions of doing those monthly and I think that’s a great idea!
Coming up in the near future still is our Pick a Flick Winner, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, our Trivia winners pick, The Pianist, Superman and my PPOTM is going to be Bringing Up Baby!
I just love you all, thanks for being my friends!

She watched it before the channel.

Cassie and Carly I say month after month, Kevin Costner, Sports Inspiration, Heartwarming, True Story McFarland USA!! You would really really love it
FYI - Here's all the remaining Spielberg directed films that Cassie has not seen. I checked her Letterbox. The Fablemans (2022) West Side Story (2021) The BFG (2016) Bridge of Spies (2015) The Adventures of Tintin (2011) A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) Amistad (1997) Always (1989) Empire of the Sun (1987) The Color Purple (1985) 1941 (1979) The Sugarland Express (1974) Duel (1971)
Duel is the only one I care about.
Is it just me or do things seem a bit “off” around here since the FAQ comments were shut down?
Inevitable, I think, Richard. You can't shut down something as lively as that without some kind of effect. It's still an issue and still pretty raw (albeit for only a few of us), but I'm still waiting for a response to the mail I sent the other day and I don't feel I can say too much until then. I know Ben's a busy guy so it'll probably take a day or two, but I'm taking a timeout until we get some clarification (and, hopefully, a solution). I also don't feel like joking around right now, which is why I'm not just shooting the breeze. As you say, things are a bit "off".
Cassie, will the random Popcorn Request #1-300 be just one poll? If so, for a sample this large, may I suggest (16) films, and also allow multiple voting.
Agree
For a fun Summer movie please watch I Know What You Did Last Summer fun 90 horror flick with awesome cast
Perfect summer horror flick. But it is a scary movie so it's best chance on this channel is probably October.
Just heard a report- 1 in 3 people (households? streaming viewers?) watch anime at least once a week. Total PIB anime movie reactions 1 (correct me if I'm wrong) and it is Patreon exclusive. Maybe we can explore the genre a bit more in the future?
While anime production companies are notoriously copyright strike happy on YouTube, there is a way to do it. For instance, The Normies did the entire Naruto and Naruto Shippuden series (minus filler episodes) on YouTube, as well as quite a few other series, and never got their channel taken down. IF (big if) Cassie were to do it, she could reach out to them for advice. They seem to be friendly to other reactors, having done collaborations several times.
Dear Cassie and Ben, i wright this with a heavy heart. I woke this morning to find FAQ page has been removed! To just do this with no warning was a poor decision. I been left frustrated and rather annoyed! I have read all the comments down below from the mods on this matter. But it has just left me more angry. FAQ was my first point of call in the mornings as soon as I pick up my phone. It’s like checking in with my friends to see what the latest chat is with movies. It had become a point of contact where my anxieties were dissipated by taking my mind of my problems with the currents events, ideas and banter on PiB. If you are saying FAQ has become something else, that’s fine, but it wasn’t doing any harm, just change its name?! DISCORD IS NOT THE SAME THING! and surely you must know this! I don’t want to go in a long rant as to the clear and obvious differences! I do feel however this was triggered by the conversation thread the other day on PiB where Ben became involved. I did not say anything at the time because I felt I could not add something different to what Clarence had already said. But mostly because the whole reason I come on PiB is to alleviate Anxiety not make it worse. I have been left feeling rather sad and disillusioned this morning. I just feel you have seen a small core group of regular commenting people that maybe take up more time than all the Patreons and this is a good way to move them on and that is upsetting. Those people add a lot to PiB, they enrich it, they help to create community, which is a big draw for new Patreons. I was looking forward to upping my membership to Extra butter, but I going to have to take some time now to have rethink on this, as I’m not happy about recent events. Finally I think you have read enough of my comments to know I don’t normally complain at all, I’m fact this is my first time. I really do love you guys, you have been a constant in my life now for over a year, watching videos, photos from trips, the podcasts, and Cassie watching your reactions in YT for many years now has been a pleasure. It’s such a shame this has spoilt it for me. Im sorry if this upsets anyone who reads it, but I felt it important to say.
Mark- that is a good post. I didn’t know that Discord even existed until two days ago. I always thought that the FAQ chat was a good place to post general messages (there never seemed to be any disagreements in this chat). I guess Discord is an option, but it sounds like there are a couple of steps to access the Discord platform (not as straightforward as just going to the FAQ page). I hope that people can put their heads together to come up with a compromise solution.
Since they are doing a reaction to enter the dragons, I would love to see a reaction to movie in a movie of A Fistful of yen. " Dis, Is not a chawade. We need total concentwation . Now. Once again, this time, with feewing "🤣
Kentucky Fried Movie
I just recently rewatched Father Goose (1964) and all I kept thinking was how much Carli and Cassie would love that film... anyone who hasn't seen it and fancies themselves similar in taste and temperament to our ladies should definitely check it out.
What is the surprise?
Inception.
Went to the Patreon FAQ’s page, I got a message that comments are disabled. Anybody else seeing this?
Yeah same. It's weird. Hope all those comments aren't gone for good. There was a ton there.
Wondering if Closer (2004) is the surprise reaction? Considering you watched Working Girl (another Mike Nichols film) with Carly? That would be awesome. Curious what you two would think of it. Kind of a messy, complicated little romantic movie.
Excluding rewatches, it could be 2012, Transformers, Sideways or Dogville. Personally, I'm still holding out for Cool Hand Luke (1967).
It looks like y'all are having a wonderful time. The scenery there is beautiful. Condolences to your family for your loss. It's going to happen more and more as we get older. Have fun exploring, but keep your eyes open for snakes. Be well, Greg :)
The surprise movie will be Big Man Japan. Why? Because it’s the most unlikely (but good) movie I could think of at this moment.
Surely it would be that. Obviously. But her hint was 'one word title from the 2000's'.
Bringing Up Baby and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir are golden age classics! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Thanks for sharing with us, Cassie. I just booked a trip with a travel group for a nine-day trip to visit Jasper, Banff, Glacier National Park, and the Rockies in September! Looking forward to it, but it's more coin than I'm used to dropping all at once.....I hope I didn't get ripped off!
PLEASE let us know how that goes and what you think. That's a ton of wonderful locations and you're going to have the best time.
Best whishes to you and your family .Been to Manitoba but never that far West , from Ontario. Definitely on my list would also like to see East coast here.
Hi Cassie, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. But I’m glad you are with family at this difficult time. I love your photos and I have to say I’m always a touch jealous when I see those beautiful mountains in the background. It looks amazing where you are. We are getting a lot of Hot weather here in the UK at the moment which is making life tough for me at work, as I do suffer with heat stoke easily. Another great line up, I’m looking forward to Jaws 2 and I think having the popcorn requests once a month is a great idea. I know I say this a lot, but thanks ever so much for this Channel, it really has been a saviour for me in the last year or so. Which is why I will be moving up to Extra butter as soon as I can. I just need my wife to help me this time, as I am not tech savvy! That way I will have proper email address this time! Take care You are the best ❤️
I'm spending too much time here. When I read the last line of your post, my thoughts went straight to KARATE KID REWATCH!
Cassie, I want to say first off sorry for your loss. I lost two people unexpectedly too. Two people who I have known my entire life. I know how hard it can be. However my Patreon email and link should cheer you up at least a little. A small distraction and then my comment that I left for you and Ben on Rounders. That actually took me over 30 mins to write. Again a small distraction but good ones. Ahh Canada, where the two of us will end up someday. My gf Eva was looking at a job near Toronto she showed interest. So this hospital in Canada checked to see if she was qualified. They said she could get express entry and told her the best thing to do is marry me. Now she is getting offers from everywhere in Canada. Apparently she had given permission for her employee file to be shared. Granite we have no plans to move to Canada as of right now but it's definitely in our future plans. We both agreed if we got pregnant we would move to Canada within 90 days. So in my email I sent to you while I was typing it out, I got to thinking why don't I create a playlist on YouTube dedicated to Sharon Tate so that's what I did. Yes you might have had a little inspiration behind it. It contains over 50 videos dedicated to the late great Sharon Tate interviews, the E true Hollywood story. The A&E biography on her. Nothing bad however you should stick to the happy videos of her for now. The link is below. My gf Eva said to me the other day. The entire time we have been seeing each other ( which has been over a year) you have never said a bad word about Cassie. So we will definitely keep your family in our prayers. I learned this a while ago when dealing with loss. "May the source of peace bring peace to all those who mourn and comfort the bereaved among us" 🛐♥️😢❤️🩹🙏💐. Her is the link for that playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa7zJ8FuNYaHjvEffPBJOkr75N0Jd1NYc&si=uWpnp1U89Co8UP81
Cassie. As I know you've got a lot on your plate and sometimes your mind is occupied by something other than movies I want you to watch and certain films that should be on a poll don't end up on a poll and you spend a day or two dead to me because of it, can I please subtly and respectfully remind you that the following movie needs to be on the Spielberg poll: Duel Duel Duel Duel DUEL Duel Duel Duel DUEL DUEL DUEL Duel Duel Duel Duel Duel DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL DUEL. And, by the way......Duel.
+1 million times for DUEL!
adorable pics!! I have to say I agree with Clarence, Carly should be present for Jaws 2. lol she won't, but she should be! hehe
Cassie, So Sorry For Your Loss. Sending heartfelt prayers of, Faith Strength & Hope for you and your wonderful family.
Looking forward to Jaws 2, but did I hear you say that Carly won't be watching it with you? If so, please refer to the small print in the channel's mission statement, which clearly states "Should Carly be present at the beginning of a franchise, she is thereby obligated by the Crocodile Dundee Law to also be present for the sequels. Blue blanket is optional." Enter The Dragon is going to be fun. Just remember, Cassie, it's low budget and clunky, but you're in for a treat watching Bruce do his thing. Finally, the surprise reaction. I've been analysing the picture you've used for that one and I think I've worked it out. There are stars exploding out of a box and two of those stars are bigger than the rest - that can only mean Paul Newman and Steve McQueen. There's also an explosive fire symbol on the front and a band-aid on the side. Therefore the surprise reaction is Towering Inferno. If it's NOT The Towering Inferno, then the picture is just plain cruel, so please rectify this egregious error by watching The Towering Inferno.
Err what!! Carly not watching Jaws 2!! Cassie, this absenteeism is not exceptable, please inform Carly If she misses Jaws 2 she will have to be present for a re watch of the The Shining in October😉😆
Yay Jaws 2. I look forward to watching the reaction. I’m on a family trip and am trying to convince everyone to watch that for a movie night!
As a kid I think I saw Jaws 2 more than the original.
Condolences on the passing in the family. Stunning scenery - the vast epicness of canadian nature. - almost fitting for a Kirk/Spock/Bones outing...
Looks like fun with the family! Ready for you to be back, we miss you!
So sorry for the loss of your extended family member. It's never easy at any age but especially for the children. Praying that everyone continues to get the support they need from other family and friends. So glad you're watching "Bringing Up Baby". It's been too long since I've seen that movie.
Looking forward to Enter the Dragon
Cassie, I'm so sorry for everything you and your family are going through. It's heartbreaking, and what's happening in Texas right now is just awful. I'm really glad to hear you're holding up and staying strong—that means everything. My heart goes out to everyone dealing with this chaos. I'm definitely looking forward to more of your movie and TV reactions whenever you're ready. And I gotta say, I'm really happy James Gunn's Superman is finally here this week which is getting well received by fans and critics. Who stands for hope, truth, justice, and a better future—something we all desperately need right now. In the middle of all this darkness, it feels good to have a story that lifts us up, even just for a little while. A lot of us—especially here in the U.S. and around the world—need that reminder of something brighter. 😊🖖❤
As someone whose mom died only 5 days ago I am very, very sorry to hear of your family's loss. Obviously I know very much at the moment how difficult such a thing is to go through, not just in how it affects ourselves, but in seeing the effect on those around us. I wish the very best for you and your extended family. I hope your brother's wife as well as everyone else is doing okay.
I'm sorry about your mom. I'm very close to mine and can't imagine how painful that must be.🥀
"Rainbows among the storms." I'm glad you had that, and am so sorry for you and your family's tremendous loss. My thoughts are with you all. Thank you for being OUR friend through everything, Cassie
On no, not Jaws 2
Look on the bright side, Phillip. Obnoxious teenagers getting munched on!
After you watch "Enter the Dragon" you might be ready for "The Kentucky Fried Movie" a spoof movie written by the team that gave us "Airplane!" it has among the sketches in it a great take on "Enter the Dragon" .
I love Kentucky Fried Movie, Keith. Unfortunately, there are certain sketches among those sketches.....
Before you watch Bruce lee I suggest you check out his life story, the movie. Dragon: The Story of Bruce Lee so you get to know him as a person and not an actor first.
A nice idea, but not going to happen. I suggested in my comment that maybe she watches biopic afterwards.
So sorry for your family's loss! <3
Random Spielberg fact, he helped George Lucas out in designing some aspects of the lightsaber fight at the end of Revenge of the Sith. Particularly the part where Anakin and Obi-Wan walk out onto the lava activity control arm thingy and it starts raining down on them, then the arm they're on falls into the lava river. I also just realized in Googling 'Burg films I don't think I ever watched Cassie's reaction to War Horse. I'm hoping for either Empire of the Sun, The Color Purple, Bridge of Spies, CMIFC(although that might me on her Letterboxed as seen), or Amistad.
Bridge of Spies
I'm really sorry for your loss Cassie. I hope all of you are doing ok. And yeah the Texas situation is just awful. It was just 6 months ago we were talking about the fires in the Palisades, and last year North Carolina got wrecked by the hurricane. This crap's happening way too often.
Honestly, it feels like Tennessee barely gets a mention when disaster hits, even though we get slammed just as hard as anyone else. Parts of our state got absolutely hammered by that hurricane too. That chunk of Interstate 40 near the Tennessee–North Carolina border literally collapsed, but nobody seems to talk about it. We even had some wildfires in the Great Smoky/Appalachian Mountains. It's like Tennessee is invisible unless it's about the states around us. The whole Southeast took a beating from that hurricane last year, not just East Tennessee or Western North Carolina. And lately, it's not just hurricanes—deadly tornadoes have been tearing through the South, including right here in Tennessee. To top it off, we just had two earthquakes. I actually felt one at my house, which was wild. Thankfully, they were mild—not like the big ones out in California—but it's still pretty unsettling. And yeah, what's happening in Texas right now is just awful and heart breaking. My heart goes out to everyone dealing with all this chaos.
Sorry for the grandfather loss, hopefully he was at peace when he left this world. As for the surprised reaction with Carly I can't wait what it is!
I don't know how everyone else is going to vote in the Spielberg poll, but I will DEFINITELY be voting for Empire of the Sun (1987)! At the last package opening in April, I sent Cassie some Cadbury's Orange Mini Eggs and a poll request of five classic movies, with Empire of the Sun being one of them! Talking of which, Cassie, I can't wait for the next package opening, but there's no rush at all, whichever month is the best for you.
Cadbury eggs sound so good right now. Chocolate eggs and a good Spielberg movie would be perfect.
Dang the suspense with this freakin' ultra secret magical surprise movie with Carly! The wheels are turning and I know I will be very, very wrong in the reveal. Really beautiful location there in Canada. Very ideal. Literally thought it was Disneyland/World there for a second. Glad you're getting family time in. Looks lovely. Happy Summer.
So sorry to hear about your family’s sudden loss. My funeral this summer was someone very close to me, but it was after a long illness and very expected. I was consoled that any pain was over, and they were hopefully at peace. But sudden loss of someone with many anticipated years ahead is so much more difficult. Glad you could all be together today and help out so much. Also glad to hear it was a great, uplifting service and gave some comfort. Looking forward to seeing the great Bruce Lee this week, who also tragically passed away suddenly at age 32 from an allergic reaction. Life is such a sweet and precious gift. Made even more enjoyable by time spent at PIB. 😊
Sry for your familj tragedy
Good to know you’re doing sequels to jaws. Now do the same for nightmare on elm street, saw, and Halloween sequels from 80
And a change of heart on the Scream franchise for October. Thank you.
Cassie, I'm so very sorry to you and your family. I'm glad you were all together to offer some comfort to each other during such a difficult time. I look forward to the surprise upload and Jaws 2, while of course not as great as the original is still a fun movie with all the summer feels. I love doing the Popcorn Requests polls, so doing those monthly will be fun. Always looking forward to what you've got planned next😁
Sincere condolences to you and your family, Cassie. I'm looking forward to Jaws 2 (1978)! I don't know if you're a Frasier fan but (Roz) Peri Gilpin's brother appears in the film as one of the teenagers. Also enclosed is the DVD making of on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wYyI15joF4 PS I'd love to see your reactions to Jaws 3D (1983) and Jaws: The Revenge (1987), they are both so bad that they both feature on IMDB's Bottom 100 list!
Cassie & Carly, I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm glad that you have a strong family who will love and support one another. May God continue to bless both you and your family! As far as the PPofM goes, I am ecstatic! 😁 I guess I'll finally have to change my Pick-a-Flick entry, because I've been advocating for Bringing Up Baby for years!
Sorry for your loss in the family, think you said you we're watching The Pianist this week so it's for the best you moved it to later date as that would be even tougher to watch right now. Looking forward to the reactions as always (i'm still guessing Inception), I wonder how Enter The Dragon will go down and i've not seen Jaws 2 or Bringing up Baby. Just finished a second watch of the Road Warrior reaction as I had a spare 90 mins and it's a cracking movie ofcourse.
Cassie, I'm sorry about your sister-in-law's dad. I will continue to keep your family and everyone affected by the Texas floods in my prayers.
Cassie, my deepest sympathies to you and your family for the loss of your loved one. You said it best; "Rainbows among the storms." Oh wow, you're going to watch Bringing Up Baby! I am beyond thrilled about this! I hope that Carly can watch with you, I placed this on her romantic list. It's a comedy that is described as being "delightfully mad". As much as I love JAWS, I find JAWS 2 to be a so-so movie. Looking forward to you coming back. We love you, and God Bless You and your family.
I still almost can't believe it is true. I keep reading this Update post again and again to let it sink in that she will actually watch BUB. A dream reaction, for sure!
I'm so sorry for your loss Cassie, that is very sad 😢 plus I'm sorry about what happened in Texas, I didn't even know until you brought it up during the pick-a-flick live, sorry I didn't mean to be insensitive! Such cute pictures you posted, I especially love that selfie of your little girl giving you a kiss, so cute, that melted my heart 🤗 I'm looking forward to your JAWS 2 reaction! I wish I could put in for a Popcorn Request lol 😂 Since you're still staying up in the great white North, guess it looks like we'll both be missing out on Disneyland's 70th anniversary next week, I'll be stuck at work that day, mer 😭 lol 😂 Love and support always, you (and Carly) are the best, have fun and be safe, my heart and prayers go out to you and your sister in-law, and God bless y'all and the family 🥰😇🙏🤗😁😉👍✌️🌹
Did those pictures remind you of Disneyland too? First thing I thought of.
Cassie- I am so sorry to hear the news about your sister-in-laws father passing away. I am sure that your brother appreciates that you all are there and everything you are doing to help out (definitely a difficult time for your whole family). It is good to hear that you were able to find a couple of days to relax for a little while. I hope that you are able to enjoy the remaining time with your family and have a safe trip back to Utah.
Oh, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir! My friend Dorothy's dad did the music for that film. It was his personal favorite of all the scores he did. You've heard a few of his scores already. Also feeling for your loss and that beautiful empathy which binds you with the presence you've shared with all of us. ❤️ and Best wishes and deepest sympathies. 💕
YOUR FRIEND DOROTHY IS THE DAUGHTER OF BERNARD HERRMANN??? HE'S ONE OF THE GREATEST FILM COMPOSERS OF ALL TIME. HE DID "CITIZEN KANE," "PSYCHO," "VERTIGO" and "NORTH BY NORTHWEST!"
Waterton? I thought now that you're a Trekkie it would now be Vulcan, Alberta, lol
Cassie, my heart breaks for you and your family. I'm glad that you were able to have each other for support through it all. And a trip to Waterton always heals the soul, doesn't it? Sunshine, wind across the water, ice cream - the very best! Glad to see people here excited with the reactions coming up too. I'm also curious if Superman is Man of Steel, or perhaps the brand new one? 👀 Theater reaction maybe?! 😉 Either way, looking forward to it.
You're from the same area?
My condolences and prayers for your loss, it is nice though to see you are able to find some light among the darkness, that kiss on the cheek says it all, and thank YOU, Cassie, for being our fiend and filling our lives with some joy!
Well said, my sentiments exactly!
Oh my gosh! Bringing Up Baby, at last! Patience is rewarded, too. Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank You! I am so glad that you found some peace among nature with all the very real ups and downs of life that you are experiencing. Thank you for all you do, and know that you bring great joy to our lives, also. Everything coming up seems very exciting also. Superman? Is that the new movie. Oh well, I will wait and find out. Jaws 2, Enter the Dragon, The Pianist, another Trivia winning pick, another Popcorn request winner, there is much upcoming that will make for some great reactions. I know that you will love Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby. It has been called the quintessential screwball comedy. Ever since you saw Katherine Hepburn portrayed by Cate Blanchet in The Aviator, I've been burning for you to see a movie with Katherine Hepburn. (You did also see her in The African Queen). Cannot wait!
Happy for ya, Mike!
!!!!!!!!Bringing Up Baby!!!!!!!!!! I really, really, really thought your surprise reaction was going to be Bringing Up Baby (1938), and I was afraid of mentioning it, because I would Jinx it. So the fact that you’re telling us that you’re going to watch it, before you reveal the surprise, tells me I made the right decision in not mentioning it. I really, really needed these kinds of good vibes this week. Thank You!!! PS: Nice Rock Stacking. Did you do that Cass. That’s a skill you just don’t see anymore. ;-)
Woop woop!
Jaws 2 is rated rotten on both rotten tomatoes and Metacritic. Enter the dragon is good.
I'm probably weird but I actually like Jaws 3 more than 2. 2 is still trying to be serious like the first one, but it's just not very good. 3, on the other hand, perfectly tips over into campy silliness which I think makes it a more enjoyable watch. Hopefully Cassie continues with her Jaws journey after this!
Some good movies coming up. JAWS 2 is like PSYCHO 2: a surprisingly decent sequel to a cinematic masterpiece. Not exactly great, but not bad. Worth seeing. I think you will enjoy it. I wouldn't do any of the others though. A Bruce Lee movie on the channel is long overdue and ENTER THE DRAGON is probably his signature film. Having previously seen him portrayed by an uncanny-looking/sounding actor in ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, I'm curious to see what you think of the real McCoy. If you are ever interested in seeing an interesting biopic on his life, check out DRAGON: THE BRUCE LEE STORY with Jason Scott Lee (no relation). THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR is a classic that should be fun. It stars the uncomparably gorgeous Gene Tierney, the wonderful Rsx Harrison (whom you will probably recognize from MY FAIR LADY) and the delightfully urbane and sophisticated George Sanders, but the older film that I am really looking forward to your reaction to is BRINGING UP BABY. Being now familiar with both Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn, I foresee you really enjoying it. It's fast-paced, funny, silly and utterly charming. In a sense, WHAT'S UP, DOC? is like a spiritual remake of it, so if you see some similarities between the two, don't be surprised. Another one that has been a long time coming and I know one patron in particular who's going to be especially excited about this reaction. While THE PIANIST is not necessarily a film I would say I am looking forward to revisiting, it is a brilliant work of art and a very personal expression on the part of its director, Roman Polanski, who survived the Holocaust when he was a child. Adrian Brody gives a fantastic performance, so the movie is definitely worth seeing, but like SCHINDLER'S LIST, it will be brutal and, sadly, the events depicted in it are becoming relevant again. :-( Very curious what the surprise reaction is going to be with Carly. Can't wait. Also curious as to which Superman film you're going to be watching. I'm guessing you're not going back to any of the other Christopher Reeve sequels as they mostly suck. My suspicion is that it's the Henry Cavill one MAN OF STEEL. If so, I'm very interested to see how it compares in your eyes to the other ones you've experienced. Hopefully, this is just building to an in theater reaction to the new James Gunn Superman movie, which I am very excited to see. Hope you're doing well. Sorry for your loss. As always, keep up the good work.
You got that right, Stick!
Which Superman ?? Man of Steel, I hope. Big "YAY" on watching "Enter the Dragon" and your intro to the one & the only, Bruce Lee !!! Enjoy time with your family and in the Great White North. Sorry about your loss but I hope you can still enjoy time with your family.
God bless you sister-in-law’s Dad, Cassie. Such a tough loss for her, your brother and your family. Glad you are getting some time to personally decompress. Take your time. We’ll be here.
And sorry for your loss, too.
I always like Mr Spielberg’s comedy classic “1941” (1979).
It has its defenders, but If it is on there, I doubt it will win the poll.
Hey Popcorn Queen! On one hand, I’m really glad you’re able to spend so much quality time with your family in Canada. And on the other hand, I’m so sorry that part of your time there was spent mourning such a devastating loss. My deepest condolences go out to your family. And speaking of devastating, I’ve been following what’s been going on in Texas with the flood. So much pain and anguish for so many families. Such a huge tragedy. I’m so glad you thought the suggestion of doing a poll of the top Popcorn requests once a month was a good idea. Can’t wait to see how those turn out. And I’m very curious as to what your surprise for us is 🤔. I really have no clue what it might be. Thanks for the update as usual, and thank you for being our friend and an inspiration for us all. P.S. -love the pics! 💜
She said in one of her lives recently that she thinks people might be let down by the “surprise” reaction so I’m starting to think it’s not going to be something really well known. With the parameters of a one word title, from the 21st century, my best guess now is “Air”. I was way on the Inception train before she said it might be a let down.
My deepest condolences on your loss. Sending love to your family.
R.I.P. sorry for your loss 🤞🙏❤️💔😢😢
I was hoping for The Peanut Butter Falcon as your PPOTM but with Bringing Up Baby!, you will get to see a young charismatic Katharine Hepburn. You can compare to the Cate Blanchett performance in The Aviator. Sorry about the young grandpa passing. Good pics. Looking forward to Enter the Dragon (will be a first full watch for me) and The Pianist.
Very sorry for your family's loss. Praying for all, we are going thru thought time in Texas. I live about an hour from Kerrville. Also, Guadalupe caused flooding in Gruene, New Braunfels and Seguin (they are down river from Kerrville and beyond Canyon Lake Dam). Have fun, all the best to you and your family.
I went down the Guadalupe River several times (raft or canoe -- once in a kayak) from below Canyon Lake to Gruene. A lot of flooding over the decades.
Sorry for your loss. On the movie side, pretty wild that you’re doing Jaws 2, as the guys on The Rewatchables podcast just did it. Am I the only here who listens to The Rewatchables??! As for the surprise reaction, I’m thinking it’s going to be a re-watch of some sort. Forest Gump, Inception, Pirates of The Caribbean. Something like that. Other than that, I have to say the only other thing I’m looking forward to is Man of Steel, I’m assuming that’s the Superman you’re talking about. The Popcorn Request poll could be good depending on the films.
In the Extra Butter live, she gave a hint about the surprise reaction w/Carly = 2000s movie with one-word name (title).
Also for a fun summer horror movie, Stephen King Silver bullet. It’s a coming-of-age werewolf movie with Corey Haim and Gary Busey that I think you could handle you’d probably actually really like it.
The Place Beyond The Pines
I’m sorry for your loss Cassie my thoughts are with you. You’re such a great person and so empathetic. I’m glad you’re having some time with your family. Can you please watch remember the Titans, man love man of steel, Sinners
Katie - I think that she has already seen Remember the Titans.
Nothing in this world more important than family and loved ones. Learned that lesson far too late! Please take care and take all the time you and your family needed! We will be right here when you return! 💙💙
My sympathies for the loss. I’m sorry to hear. It’s hard for anyone to lose a loved one. From my side, my job had a week shutdown for the 4th in which I was able to go down to Ohio to my family’s cottage, which is owned by my mother’s side of the family for 110 years. I was only there for 3 days, but it has been 9 years since I was last down there. I brought along movies to watch and I saw A Complete Unknown, Star Trek (2009), and Top Gun Maverick. I did saw a show in Chillicothe Ohio called Tecumseh Outdoor Drama which is about the Native warrior during the War of 1812. I also saw my local minor league baseball team play on the 4th and saw fireworks afterwards so I had a good week overall. Enjoy the rest of your time Up North! 🙂
The "bad" Terminator movies, 3,4,5... And hopefully more Star Trek, Picard especially. That would make me sign up right away to your Patreon 😬🤞
Sorry for your loss, glad you are able to spend time with your family. Waterton is lovely and Ice cream is always a comfort. Great line up this week. Glad you are watching Enter the Dragon. Bruce Lee is a legend.
Sorry for your lost I hope you have a great time with your family
I'm sorry for your family's loss.
Bruce lee!!!... I prefer "Game of death" but "Enter the dragon" is also good 👍
I will watch that Planet of the Apes for the Makeup and Giamotti
Not the superior acting of Estella Warren? 😂
Jaws 2
