Update
Wwwwwellllllll we’re struggle city over here a little bit. If you saw my last post you saw my kids are all sick with hand foot and mouth. It’s very miserable for them, one has a double ear infection on top of it. Poor things are so sick, so bored and so grumpy. They haven’t been to school since last week. I can feel the sickness coming for me. I CANNOT GET THIS. REPEAT CANNOT GET THIS. Snorting all the gross vitamins as we speak!
I wanted to thank you guys for being so understanding about our beloved Matt the editors family situation and your kind words. We love him and wanted to be able to give him the time he needed and you guys make that possible so thank you so much. The best community on the Internet.
This week we have GOT s3 finale, holy crap that went fast! We have The Manchurian Candidate Remake, oh hey Denzel! and our pick a flick winner’s choice the Testament of youth! On YouTube, we are going to try and catch up on Game of Thrones as well as Dead Poets at society, which Ben is editing and so be nice haha it’s been a while. I know we still need to catch up on in the Name of the Father, Dirty rotten scoundrels and Forrest Gump! Can’t wait
I will have to keep you guys updated on the extra butter depending on my kids health. The doctor did not inspire much hope when he said they haven’t even got to the worst of it. Apparently it’s a long haul and we’re already going stir/cabin crazy. 😬😬 maybe we’re getting it out of the way before the holidays?
Don’t forget to enter this month’s pick a flick! All the info can be found on the FAQ page.
There will also be a YouTube live/package opening in the first week or two of December.
Have you guys decorated for Christmas yet? I started and then I got overwhelmed and still need to finish. I do think that if twinkly lights make you happy when it gets dark at four, then go for it.
OK, I love you all. Thanks again for being awesome.

I'm showing up late to the party. But, I just suggested on another one of your other comment posts you should watch the manchurian candidate. If you like I just saw your reaction to the Sum of all Fears. Great stuff as always. You should also check out Spy Game and the Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Say Cassie…did Jew two know your images were being used for entertainment purposes? (Interesting format, btw) https://youtu.be/SZOBPxvMs-Q?si=AlhBMsAoO3BNR29h
Reaction compilation videos have been around pretty much since the start of reaction videos. There was a LotR one (with Cassie among many others) that had over a million views.
A couple of musicals I think you would enjoy: Funny Face with Audrey Hepburn and Easter Parade Starring Judy Garland and Fred Astaire.
For Christmas: watch "The Bishop's Wife". Starring Cary Grant. I think you would love it.
Will you guys ever watch "American History X"? I know it sounds bad when you read the description (a movie about neo-nazis) but it's a really great and thought-provoking drama. Should be mandatory watching in American schools. More important now than ever.
Not unless it wins a poll or is a PAF winner. Like any other film, how else would it get watched? When Cassie picks a film herself, it's like 99% going to always be a rom-com or comedy.
What the heck is wrong with some GoT viewers they just have to try and spoil the show? I was on the unofficial poll page and this chode is trying to squeeze a spoiler through back door, probably knowing Cassie is avoiding the GoT comment section. I'm genuinely interested in the psychology. They know Cassie has specifically asked for no spoilers, but cannot help themselves. Is it like the mentality of a gossip—they know something the other person doesn't and just have to tell them?
Drives me mad too, the whole point of a reaction channel is watching something for the first time and spoiling it ruins it for everyone
So Cass has been through two GOT season finales now. I hate that season 3 finale, and..um..penultimate episdode...coinscide with so many unfortunate IRL events. Really looking forward to this weeks upload.
Pay no mind to these bitter souls Cassie. Many love your stuff and understand the work that goes into it is worth WAY more than what we pay. I’m still learning that the hard way. My second most viewed YouTube video took a total of at least 12 hours to make, including recording, video and editing. Get well soon and keep it up. It’s kind of you to respond to people like that but you have zero obligation to.

Sending positive thoughts to you and your family, get well soon! Can't wait for this week's GoT reaction <3
I entered this question in the wrong place earlier. So, here goes. Does she announce beforehand when she does a live reaction? How do I watch it? I'm new here.
I dont think she does "live reactions". They just post her reactions when they're ready, and then we can watch them. So expect them to come super soon. But remember, her household is currently going through a bit of a health crisis. So, i guess they'll be up when they're up. I jsut waiting patiently like everyone else LOL Also, look at the pics above this comment section in the Pocord post here. It says what to expect in a certain week. There are no "live reactions" to Game Of Thrones. Her team just posts them in her Patreon when they're ready. On her Youtube channel, she "Premiers" youtube edited reactions that is streaming live for everyone. But the reaction itself is not "live"
I'll just wait then. 🫥
To any Game of Thrones fans that have seen the finale of season 3: This is an interesting DVD commentary to that said episode, uploaded to YouTube. Do NOT listen if you have not seen that episode yet! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsj0MFGr8Iw
Thanks, good suggestion. Something to hold us over while we wait…
I'm really sorry to hear about your kids. Hope all three get well soon, Cassie! I was also sorry to hear what happened with The Manchurian Candidate (1962). Suggestion: Maybe do a Lord of the Rings/Lion King and rewatch it with Carly? Also, this might cheer you up; In the Scene By Scene book I sent you, there is an interview chapter with Janet Leigh talking about making the train scene with Frank Sinatra, page 73!!!
Hey Jonathan, I could be confused by your comment, but there are reaction videos on the channel if C & C watching Lion King & LOTR. Apologies, if I misunderstood your suggestion.
Could we get a DISASTRR WEEK II poll? - Semeru eruptions Speed: Over 99 mph (160 km/h) and in some cases up to 700 km/h (430 mph) Temperature: Typically ranges from 200°C to well over 800°C (390°F to over 1,500°F). https://youtube.com/shorts/7011xwkIC9s
Robin Williams is great in DPS. He is also great in Good Will Hunting. Please react (w/Carly) to GWH, as you two did w/Forrest Gump (a success).
The other side of him is fascinating too... like with One Hour Photo or Insomnia, he makes a surprisingly great villain. It's interesting how comedians or actors who got their start in comedy like Robin Williams, Jim Carey and even Tom Hanks can end up being much better dramatic actors.
I'm sure I'm a doofus, but what about Got S3E7? Is that just a typo?
sorry typo!
Saying “don’t set expectations” is the same as saying don’t say anything at all about anything show related, unless it’s already been watched. Do I personally think this is a bit of an overreaction? Yes, saying you like or dislike something is not a “spoiler” it’s just a personal opinion. Not everyone will like or dislike the same things, and you shouldn’t let those opinions influence your own reaction to whatever is being discussed. But that can be easier said than done for many people. And since it’s Cassie’s request that it not be done for this particular show it should be honored. That being said I do plan on warning her that a particular episode needs to be watched in a photographer’s dark room if you hope to see anything that’s happening. But that’s not a spoiler, it’s a physical (visual) necessity .
Good point about visual acuity in the episode in question. It was widely (and deservedly) criticized at the time for the terrible cinematography/lighting. The black crush and banding in the episode were the worst I’ve ever seen.
The Matrix 3!!
Not too many give a s-- about that one apparently. But it's still driving me nuts to leave it hanging like that. Lol
By the old gods and the new, please give us a Thursday night GoT drop 🙏 😆
You should have asked the Lord of Light.
We ALL know what we're waiting for. This may well be the most-watched reaction she's ever had...
Joe Dirt? Yeah I agree
what happened too.in the name of the father
She mentioned it in her comments. Probably next week
YT watchers are going to be wondering where is episode 7 😏
I don't see it matters at all. Most reactors I follow don't even post YT schedules.
Looking at YT numbers, Condor has suffered more than Duel. Duel appears to have somewhat more awareness amongst younger views. Outside of classics or tent-pole films, "regular" older films just have such low awareness now with viewers. October scaries were a mixed bag with views this year. Sinners and Nosferatu have low engagement, Cassie was very late to react to these compared to other reactors. Weapons she didn't wait too long on and the collab pushed up the views. I hope horror can get some reactions throughout the year.
Duel, Sinners, Nosferatu have about same number of views. Interesting. I suspect that Duel little awareness among younger viewers but instead a highly interested fraction of older fan base - yet, who knows. 41k (7 days) – Three Days of the Condor (1975) 58k (12 days) – Duel (1971) 54k (2 weeks) – Sinners (2025) 125k (2 weeks) – Weapons (2025) 56k (3 weeks) - Nosferatu (2024) 107k (1 month) – GoT S2:E9-E10 85k (1 month) – Carrie (1976) 103k (1 month) – The Blair Witch Project (1999) 40k (1 month) – The Monster Squad (1987)
If Cassie doesn't get sick then I'm a monkey-fish-frog.
That was last year. This year, with the accumulated mental and physical strength and herd immunity provided by this channel she has finally ascended. She is now Amazonian-RoboCop-Terminator of germ cells. Carly skipped October like Leg Day so she may get sick this year.
Dead Poets Society is my favorite Robin Williams movie. IMDB gives it an 8.1 rating. Higher than any other Robin Williams movie except Good Will Hunting (8.3). Great performances by many young rising stars including Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard, and Lara Flynn Boyle. It's hard to believe that this film is 26 years old and is just as powerful and relevant today as it was in 1989.
Lara Flynn Boyle’s scenes were actually cut from the movie. She wrote about this several years ago that she didn’t find out until she saw the movie herself, with her mom, and her extreme disappointment.
The one good thing about getting a big sick out of the way is that you tend to be more healthy and immune for the rest of the year. Maybe break would've been a better time, for schoolwork at least, but they're hardly alone in getting ill this time of year. Wish you all the best. Personally still partial to the orange lights right now. Kind of works for thanksgiving time after Halloween. I don't know if Thanksgiving Lights are even a thing, but I'm rolling with it.
I pray you nor Ben get sick as that would be like a nightmare scenario, and here's hoping the kids get better before the holidays as it stinks being sick during them. for the last 60 years my entire family has decorated on Black Friday that way we wouldn't be tempted to go to the stores and we escape the lunacy. Take care be well and God bless.
What he said , ditto
Two Game of Thrones a week. I think Cassie must be getting addicted.
Hope you and yours regain full health shortly, and before the holidays. Fun week coming up. I look forward to all the reactions. I've never seen Testament of Youth, seems tailor made for Tender November.
Forrest Gump should be perfect for Thanksgiving too. If she gets an editor in time.
I swear to god I know something that works for that illness 100% every time: watching Midnight Run! Clears it right up!
I highly recommend this movie as well.
We love you Cassie. Even if I pay the $160 for just October you'll always have my support. Wish I could take the pain away from your little ones. Hope you all getter better and your anxiety is kept at bay.
It's tough sledding at the moment, Cassie, but you know as well as I do that those times don't last. Here's some thoughts to ponder: "Mental toughness is built in the moments when you want to stop….but don't." (Ever notice how many times you say "I can't....I can't" in reactions, and then magically do?) "You didn't get me down, Ray. You never got me down." (That will make sense when you watch Raging Bull.) "I stress about stress before there's even stress to stress about." (You actually think you're alone in that?) "If you're going to spend time thinking about the worst case scenario, it's only fair to spend time considering the best case scenario and also the most likely scenario." (Strange how much energy we expend on the first and how little on the other two.) "There are these moments when you think you won't survive. And then you survive." (I hate to be blunt, but you've overcome it so many times, stress is now your bitch.) "Never let life's hardships disturb you. No one can avoid problems, not even saints or sages." Hope your little ones are well soon.
My Charlie Brown Christmas tree is my only decoration and it stays out all year. I don't think it has been moved for 10 years.
For real it's a Peanuts Brand tree? That you bought from a store?
Sense & Sensibility (1995) is back in select US theater screens in mid December for it's 30th anniversary. I propose a reaction for the film to capitalize on any re-release attention. Also because I really like it. Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but I'm all about it.
+1 for Sense & Sensibility (1995). Ranked No. 100 (not bad) at Popcorn Requests w/38 requests. You can go to Popcorn Requests and upvote -- help it stay in the top 100 = greater chance could be a poll candidate.
I will re-subscribe your Patreon just to see Dead Poets Society, and will stick around if you continue to watch more good movies from the 80s and 90s.
Minor spoiler but Carly was definitely a bit shook.
Hey Cassie…sending you lots of healthy vibes and good wishes to obliterate those sickness blues. Keeping my fingers crossed that your kids bypass “the worst of it”, and that the holiday spirit can turn those frowns upside down. We haven’t decorated for Christmas yet. We usually wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving. So weather permitting, I’ll be on the roof next Saturday putting up all new lights while my wife and daughters (they’ll both be home this weekend!) set up inside. And then Sunday all four of us will put up the tree. It’s a holiday tradition that puts a smile on my face, despite the depressing 4pm sunsets. Hope your kids are on the road to recovery soon, and that you and Ben stay healthy. PiB forever! 💜
I really think I need to keep dad off his roof nowadays, but not sure how to broach the topic. Hoping mom will take care of it. But now that he's 75, I'm legit getting worried about him being up there. I tried to do it for him last year but he wants everything done his exact time and way and he forced me down. lol
Dear Cassie and PIB Crew including inspired editors who are the backbone of the channel and to Cassie's viewing public, About last week: Cassie kids getting sick with the same virus I had when I was a toddler. My parents both remember it because I asked them about it so my gf could hear it. So we both know all to well about that virus, and the misery Cassie and Ben are going through it's only supposed to last 7-10 days. We both watched everything but GOT we are going to watch all 3 together. Eva vetoed something. I can't say anything till after Cassie watches it. The week ahead: We are headed to Solider Field for the Steelers Bears game I remember the last time I watched the Steelers there it was 2009..... https://youtu.be/SB1xhcyrWyY?si=PEOtr2aBtfSV_wKP Hopefully the Steelers have better luck . We are looking forward to all of the movies and TV shows which I am not allowed to mention. Watching PIB is a strictly a Eva (gf) and I thing. So we look forward to everything. Yes Thanksgiving we will be spending it in the Dominican Republic My gf She just can't for the crystal blue water No song this week we have one picked out for after GOT this week. Again I promise I have never heard of that show. (Cough cough). I wish you all a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
<(´･ω･`) I made you a fizzbump because I want you have better feelings in your feelings
looks like picasso tried to draw Charlie Brown to me
I hope everything will go well. A house full of sick people with a bunch of them being kids, is absolutely no fun.
Fantastic Four: First Steps. Someday soon I hope. You and Carly will very likely enjoy it.
Off topic but in case you haven't seen it yet the Frieren S2 trailer dropped today. It looks really good!
I'm sorry about the kids and all the sickness. Here's to a recovery sooner than later. '04 manchurian candidate is great, i know you'll be intensely invested lol. We usually start the christmas decorating december 1st, but maybe I should start un-tangling the lights now, because they can be a pain
Never really got into Game of Thrones myself, never had time to get past the first episode of Season 1, but I love what I've seen from the clips, and I love that Gwendolyn Christie is such a badass in this show, she was a badass in Star Wars as Captain Phasma. Hope you're enjoying it so far, Ser Cassie!
And she's a very strange kind of badass in Severance.
God Bless you and your family, Cassie. May everyone be in good health in time for Thanksgiving. ❤
Season 4 of Game of Thrones is my favourite! I hope the kids get well very soon and that you stay well x
Sending positive vibes to you and your family. Stay healthy and get the kids well. ❤️
Feel for your kids, and you/Ben dealing with it. Looking forward to all 3 entries this week. Stellar week.
Thanks for the update Cassie! I hope your kids start feeling better soon!
Season 4 of Game of Thrones is my favorite. Cant wait for it! Cheers to you and your family, hope they have good recoveries and when all is done, a good pizza party to celebrate health! 🥰
Take good care of those kiddos, and yourself too.
La familia es primera, the family is first. And friends are family too. But I'm just a patron and I can wait lol, but in the meantime I am going to watch Mi Familia "Francis Ford Coppola Presents" My Family, love that movie.
Hope they get better soon and poor Ben now he's been derailed from finishing those vlogs 😂😂 only jk. Surprisingly not too many PaF entries so far.
Was contemplating entering I Heart Huckabees this month. But I don't if it's too weird for the channel. Might be a contender for lowest views. lol. But I still love it unconditionally.
I’m so sorry to hear all the kids are sick. I pray you don’t get it and that they feel better before the holidays. Tender November suggestions Hope Floats with Carly Sweet November Please watch Stranger Things. You can for sure handle it if you can watch Game of Thrones and last of us.
PLEASE patreon subscribers, please for the love of The Seven, please don't post any spoilers for GoT in the later seasons, No story spoilers and NO REACTION spoilers. Don't speak of anything coming up in later seasons. No feelings. No expectations. No "this is going to be great or this is going to be bad"... or "you are going to hate this guy" or "you just wait for this guy's redemption arc". No nothing. All for LATER SEASONS after this one ends. If you know what I mean. just keep your excitement to a minimum. Give Cassie the best opportunity to have an unspoiled fresh and pure genuine reaction to the "later seasons" of this show. And I hope you and your family can get well soon Cassie. Much love
What Lukas said!
Look after those kiddos. We adults will be fine. It's still relatively nice here in Saskatchewan so the Xmas lights can wait another week. Be well!
Hello fellow SK’er. I’m in Saskatoon.
So sorry to hear your family is still struggling, Cassie. Hope that everybody gets better soon. :-( Despite my intense disappointment over the technical snafu that resulted in a lack of sound on your reaction to the 1960s MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, I am pleased that you are also watching the remake because having the original as a point of comparison will only help you to more fully appreciate both I think. The original is still the superior version, but the remake was surprisingly good, much better than it had any right to be. The late great Jonathan Demme (who also directed SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) kept the paranoid and suspenseful spirit of the John Frankenheimer film but still carved his own distinct path with the new one... and it has a great cast. Denzel Washington, Liev Schreiber, Meryl Streep, John Voight and Vera Farmiga are all terrific. I'm looking forward not only to seeing your viewing of it, but the hearing your thoughts about it and how it compares with the old one. Keep up the good work. :-)
Wow - Denzel Washington, Liev Schreiber, Meryl Streep, John Voight and Vera Farmiga = nice cast.
I'm a "less is more" person when it comes to Christmas decorations. Just a single candle in each window is fine for me. I also prefer the warm white lights over the multi-colored ones.
“Well I like Byron I give him a 42 but I can’t dance to it”
Poor kids. Hope they get better. Hope you dont come down with it and tell Matt we pray for his family.
Sending all the good vibes that I have to you and yours, Cassie!! Hope you AND your youngsters feel better soon.
Sorry the kiddos are still sick. I hope they start feeling better soon 🙏 Hope you and Ben don’t get sick either Take care Cassie!
Good luck to all of you with this disease. I’ve never had it but it sounds like hard work.
Take your time, look after your family, we’re not going anywhere, have a lot of content to keep us busy. All the best!
I’m know you meant eps 7&8 for the 3rd YouTube edit of the week. I’m sure there will be a lot of comments about it.
This will give us time to decorate our houses for x-mas...don't worry, we will be here. Hope the sickness passes quickly. Best wishes. -all of us I am sure
Get those kids better and don’t worry about us at all! We’ll be here when things calm down for you! ❤️
I feel like Cass is sick 1/3 of the year 😩
Kids are disease buckets that spill everywhere...it makes sense...if you know, you know....
