I'm good Cassie. How are you doing
Always (1989)
I'm a little late to the party on this channel. But, I just watched Cassie's reaction to Sum of all Fears. If you still really enjoys espionage style movies, you should also watch the machurian candidate, the Man from U.N.C.L.E., and Spy Game.
Just watched the trailer for the Last Dragon as I’ve not heard of it before. Wow it’s looks like one of those really bad movies that knows it’s bad 😂. It also looks like something I would have loved as a kid in the 80s or a teen in the 90. But Cassie’s reaction to this could be worth the watch on its own 😂
Bite your tongue! That movie was awesome!
Curious to see Cassie’s reaction to the new Fantastic Four film. While I liked the visual aesthetic, I found the story to be lacking and didn’t care much for the characterizations of Human Torch/Johnny Storm or The Thing/Ben Grimm. That said, I was never a fan of the first family of Marvel and always thought they were boring (much preferring X-Men and The Avengers as super hero teams), so my judgement of the movie may be colored accordingly. But it was really, really nice to see Galactus towering over the city and talking about his insatiable hunger. He’s one of my favorite Marvel villains and it was good to finally see him properly represented.
All comic book movies are exactly the same movie over and over and over again
I you like the haunting of hill house you’ll like the haunting of bly manor
Wow, that was the closest I have gotten with the PAF draw, and I feel like the closest I will get. My default setting for PIB is to always be the bridesmaid and never the bride. Although Cassie said I have won a choice before (which is true), however, it was not from winning trivia. I finished second in trivia and March Madness in quick succession and due to a snafu with the March Madness winner I was graciously offered the prize, for which I still very much appreciative. The conversation started getting into Australian movies and some have been mentioned in the live and in the comments. Many of these have familiar faces as they have appeared on the channel, such as Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Ben Mendolsohn, Guy Pearce, Heath Ledger, and also some internatioanl famous faces. Military related films (All based on true events): * "Gallipoli" (1982) * "The Lighthorseman" (1987) * "Breaker Morant" (1980) Crime related films: * "Chopper" (2000) * "Jindabyne" (2006) * "Animal Kingdom" (2010) * "The Dry" (2020) * "The Big Steal" (1990) * "Gettin' Square" (2003) * "Two Hands" (1998) * "Malcolm" (1986) Lighter-hearted movies: * "The Dish" (2000) - my PAF choice for most of the year. Based on true events. * "The Castle (1997) * "Strictly Ballroom" (1992) * "Muriel's Wedding" (1994) * "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (1994) * "The Sum of Us" (1994) * "Kenny" (2006) Dramas * "The Man from Snowy River" (1982) * "Picnic at Hanging Rock" (1975) * "Lantana" (2001) * "Shine" (1996) * "Australia" (2008) Thriller/Horror-ish * "Wolf Creek" (2005) * "Dead Calm" (1989) * "Rogue" (2007)
One way or another The Dish needs to happen in 2026 if not January, July is the anniversary of Apollo 11—perfect timing
Just bought The Last Dragon on 4K, upgrading my previously bought Blu-ray. Merry Christmas to Me ;-) and Merry Christmas to Josh. Thank You :-)
I'm always tickled by folks who feel the need to announce that they "WON'T be watching this one, harrumph!" Thanks for letting us know. THE LAST DRAGON is very silly but also pretty fun. Some nice martial arts scenes, two great villains, an awesome theme song...it's like some people are just allergic to a good time at the movies.
Hear, Hear!!
lol I put Jingle all the way - and yet I watched it last year on PIB and forgot- my kids keep my brain full - anyway
OMG! This will be epic!
We know what you mean you think we’re old 90 years old😂😂😂
If I ever win this it's going to be Undertaker vs Mankind hell in a cell, especially after she just asked if Stone Cold was Larry the Cable Guy in her Expendables reaction
Add the video where Undertaker and Mick Foley, along with others, describe exactly what happened that night and I’m on board.
Oh, the humanity! 😭
Good grief
What happened?
I missed the drawing but was very surprised to see that my pick won. I hope you all enjoy the movie and reaction.
Congratulations on the win!
Oh? The Last Dragon... I was thinking hard... then saw the cover... ah yes, i do remember that movie, now _that_ is a rare one. I'm sure I never watched it. It should be fun. (Edit - haha lol, he will stick around to see the reaction for sure...! If he hears about it. As for me I haven't submitted a movie for a while now - I'm saving my one movie, lol to savor it well... 🙂)
I used to get sick twice a year and then I don't get sick anymore. There are a couple of tricks and one of them is never touch your face. Your hands will have all kinds of stuff, pathogens. Oh the 2 of three things is to wash your hands often, think if it like a shower for your hands. ** Wow!, that table spread was awesome! -- yes could hear you, but then it was dark. sometimes throwing up is good for you, I have some frozen? bean burritos that I wish I could eat... how the heck do I cook these without the outside turning rock hard? (my old way is to wrap it in paper towel and spray it with water then microwave, I'll try) different cameras will see red differently, looks like magenta, it's probably optimized for blue sky maybe or vice versa Cassie is so tech savvy now I feel Has anyone seen Meet John Doe? The other Frank Capra movie, less known to It's A Wonderful Life.
Meet John Doe is a great film. Would be nice to have Gary Cooper debut on PIB.
Muriel's Wedding or Strictly Ballroom for Australia day. Chopper would make a great reaction too.
I always recommend Strictly Ballroom (Edit - "you know the Pasa Doble? Show me your Pasa Doble...")
Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon is one of those DVDs you would find in the bargain bin at Blockbuster—a 3-pack deal for $1.00. Includes Mac and Me, plus your choice of the following: Caddyshack II, Jaws 3-D, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, or Leonard Part 6. 👎
Hope you watch the animated Disney Christmas Carol movie next year. That's my original childhood "memories unlocked" version.
You mean "Mickey's Christmas Carol"?
Wow.. great choice.. I cant wait to see her reaction.. one of my favorite cult classics.
Did anyone else notice some names were in the frying pan multiple times? One name in particular, I saw about 5 times.
Interesting. I do see one that is pretty obvious from the beginning. How many did you see?
The Last Dragon...thats hilarious 😂 😃....you have to watch Im gonna git you sucka afterwards
Last Dragon sounds RAD. Maybe a correct choice of the word 'rad', maybe not, but this time seems appropriate. I've never seen this, but I think I had the NES game? If that was this thing? It was rad. Anyways, Happy Christmas.
There was no Last Dragon NES game. Perhaps you're thinking of The Last Ninja? Or maybe Double Dragon?
Perhaps we can remember that the winner is probably super excited that their movie was chosen after waiting for it for a long long time. Much like many of you would be if your movie had been chosen. Let’s keep that in mind if your first thought is to criticize the choice.
You’re a moderator now ain’t ya? Did you notice there were repeat names in the frying pan? One name in particular. Very evident near the end. If there’s a reason, then there’s a reason. Just curious if anyone was aware. 🤷♂️
Now that she seen expendables, might I suggest The One with Jet Li, Transporter movies, Crank 1-2 stuff, Death Race as well? should be fun too
+1 for The One, The Transporter 1, and Crank 1.
2025 PiB highlights for me include Outlaw Josey Wales (to start off the year), Planet of the Apes (1968) (Cassie/Carly got it), Sicario, Cold Mountain, The Searchers (like the way Cassie quasi-mocked John Wayne), the true events stretch [e.g., Charlie Wilson’s War (2007), etc.], The Pianist (2002), Bridge of Spies (2015) (awesome Spielberg), Sin City (2005) (Marv a great character), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) (tough but great reaction), and a couple of good PAF wins. Also, the string of good October movies [e.g., compare awesome Nosferatu (2024) to mindless Blade last year] and Forrest Gump (big time rewatch success). But the true star of the year for me is her invested reactions to GoT = elevated (improved) 2025 for sure. Lastly, an asterisk is I liked Twins better than expected.
Watched Nosferatu again last week. Really is quite good. I don't usually rewatch something this soon, but I really think that might be a modern classic for horror.
won't be watching this one
Womp womp
I was 22 and got married in 1985 when The Last Dragon was released. I don't remember the movie. I avoided martial arts movies. The only martial arts stuff I liked back then was the Kung Fu TV series (which I loved as a kid in the 1970s). But I plan to watch the full reaction. Will stream movie on Amazon Prime Video.
Philip Ahn, Master Kan in the Kung Fu series, was a great restauranter and showman. When little kids would visit his restaurant in the San Fernando Valley, he would approach them toward the end of their family's meal and say: "As quickly as you can, snatch the pebble from my hand" Then after a few tries he'd let the kids snatch the pebble and then he'd say, "Time for you to leave"😊
THE LAST DRAGON LOL
Hello
There was a specific sort of kid who was really into The Last Dragon in the 1980s. I wasn't that kid. I was friends with some of those kids, but not besties or anything lol.
And those kids now all think Nickelback is the greatest band ever.
Womp womp. Another nostalgia based pick. 🫤
Huh, I think Cassie may hate this one. This is kinda of a had to be there type of situation. Total 80’s cheesy nostalgia.
I just watched the trailer for The Last Dragon and, OMG, it looks fantastic! Like a mashup of Miami Connection and Black Dynamite, except it preceded both. I may have to buy and watch it before Cassie’s reaction. PS: Correction. It’s selling for only $1 more than the rental so I splurged. Can’t wait to watch it.
Dang it! We were only 18 away (I think that is when I "popped") from watching the best movie nobody has seen.
+1 for those who have actually seen that movie.
Never heard of that movie, but just reading about it, it sounds like a Patreon exclusive reaction.
... which is why I don't know why some people insist on suggesting extremely niche titles. I personally prefer to try and help keep Patreon exclusives for reactors to an absolute bare minimum. 🤷♂️
I like The Last Dragon! But a lot of that is nostalgia I think it’s one of “had to be there” movies. I fear seeing it for the first time in the present day may not have the same impact Who knows. Maybe Cassie will enjoy it!
When will “Children of Men” win?! 😩😩
The other day when she did random selections from PR 1-50 for poll candidates, before she started, she said she hoped Children of Men would be picked. I was like great = she mentioned Children of Men -- it is on her radar. Children of Men is No. 4 at PR. Should eventually end up in a poll. Not sure when. City Slickers is No. 3 and being reacted to, so Children of Men will move up to No. 3. When movies get that high at PR, have a decent chance to be reacted to -- somehow, some way -- especially with it being on her radar.
I submitted "Capote" (2005) (Phillip Seymour Hoffman won Best Actor Oscar) for my December PAF entry.
That’d be a sick rewatch. I haven’t seen it in so long, PSH’s best role imo. That, and Doubt.
Suggestions for Australian movie poll: *Patrick (learn where QT got the idea for having The Bride spit periodically while comatose in Kill Bill) *Razorback (Jaws, but it’s a giant feral pig) *Wake in Fright (psychological thriller/drama about a teacher’s detour on the way to his new assignment) *Stunt Rock (2 hrs of Australian stunt work set to a rock ‘n roll soundtrack) *Roadgames (stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Stacy Keach; almost certainly the inspiration for The Hitcher) *Next of Kin (QT has compared it favorably to The Shining; I don’t think it’s THAT good, but it is damn good) *Dark Age (giant croc) *Undead (the best Aussie zombie film ever made; funny, not scary) *Rogue (another giant croc) *Long Weekend (don’t disrespect Mother Nature or her children)
Young Einstein - 1988 😁😁
Josh hates us all.
Congratulations to Josh.
Suggestions for AUSTRALIA POLL: 1. Lion (2016). IMDb 8. Dev Patel, Rooney Mara, Nicole Kidman. Uplifting true story. “Let's just say if you are human ... no way that Lion won't move you.” Nom 6 Oscars incl. Best Picture. Gorgeous cinematography. As you know, on your Mom's list. 2. Sweet Country (2017) [RT=96%]. Set in 1929 in Australia. 3. The Sapphires (2013) (comedy) based on true story. Uplifting. RT=91%. 4. Gallipoli (1981). You mentioned. A young Mel Gibson. RT=91%. Golden Globe nominee for Best Foreign Film. Nom 12 Australian Film Institute awards. Won 8 including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor (Mel Gibson). 5. Animal Kingdom (2010) (thriller) [RT=94%]. Gritty Australian crime drama. Jackie Weaver (the mom in Silver Linings Playbook) nom for Oscar. The movie nominated for 19 Australian Film Institute awards. Won 10 including Best Film. 6. The Dressmaker (2015). Kate Winslet. Liam Hemsworth.
And my perennial tongue-in-cheek* recommendation for best Aussie movie ever: Fair Game (1986). Oi, Oi, Oi! ("Tongue-in-cheek" because I realize how ludicrous it is to employ the limiting adjective "Aussie" when this movie is indubitably the greatest accomplishment in all cinematic history.)
Yes! The Shogun of Harlem!
Cassie will be so inspired by the movie that she will go on to watch the Shogun miniseries. The new one. :-P
Again, hope you get well soon Cass. Sickness during the holidays is "SHO 'NUFF" a shame.
Never heard of The Last Dragon but I see that it co-stars Julius Carry, Lord Bowler from The Adventures of Brisco County Jr, so I’m on board.
Bob - it’s often considered a ‘so bad it’s good movie’ or just a really bad movie, depending on on who you ask, if that tells you anything.
FINALLY!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Easy pass for me
🙄 Sorry, but not wasting 107 minutes of my life on Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon.
I have never heard of it. Tubi has it for free so I skimmed through it in 30-40 minutes. William H. Macy has a part in it and easily turns in the best performance of the movie. I get the feeling this is a "how funny would it be to make Cassie watch this" submission.
"On The Beach" (1959) would be a good addition to the Australia poll.
HECK YES! The Last Dragon Rocks!
The Last Dragon. Never heard of it.
Next month will be the anniversary of the 1st draw
I recommend Scarface 1983
Please add Spielberg's "1941" to your modern Christmas poll.
Last Dragon……so Cassie’s going to experience a so bad it’s good movie, or maybe her second so bad it’s bad movie along with Howard the Duck.
"The Last Dragon is a flamboyant genre mashup brimming with style, romance, and an infectious fondness for kung fu, but audiences may find the tonal whiplash more goofy than endearing." She said she reacting to Fantastic Four in January.
Where did you go. Sike
Ahh. It will be "Dark City" as it seems ;-)
I recommend Fantastic Four First Steps (Pedro Pascal) & Mission Impossible Final Reckoning (Tom Cruise) with Carly. It's on Disneyplus & Paramount Plus
+1 for Fantastic Four.
Drumroll Please!
And the winner is...
