Coming Up

Merry Christmas to Cassie and Carly and Ben and everyone on Patreon and YouTube and Happy New Year

Merry Christmas from Australia to Cassie, Ben and her family. May you find Jon Snow under your tree for your Christmas present this year

Cassie and Carly - wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas. It's been a Wonderful Life with you this year. Mike, Lincoln.

Staple Christmas movies? When I was a kid, it was Wizard of Oz and Mary Poppins. Not exactly Christmas movies but they were always on at Christmas so that's what I associated them with. For a while we added It's A Wonderful Life, but that only lasted a few years. It's now once every 3 or 4. Current staples are Love Actually, The Holiday and Last Christmas with Emilia Clarke. I keep waiting for those three to fizzle out, but somehow they never do. (I love Die Hard but I don't associate it with Christmas.) Would love to find a new one, but those are my cornerstones for now.

Cassie, my Nostalgic Christmas treats will be: “Mint matchmakers””Terry’s chocolate orange” and “After Eights” not sure how many of them you would know, but the UK members will be well aware! 😋 Can’t wait for Gremlins, but might have to wait now until the YT edit. I’m afraid I won’t be joining in on any popcorn related fun/reactions as Ive had to set up a free membership/second Patreon account, due to Patreon deleting my entire account and my annual payment which I only made a couple of weeks ago! 🤦‍♂️ So I’m currently in a battle to get my account back or my money back! I’m sure I will console myself with a watch of Die Hard YT edit and NLCV Edit for Christmas. Have a happy Christmas. ❄️🎅🏻🎁❤️

Happy Christmas! Plus one for the cheesy popcorn. Whole big tin of that, if available. Even after a month, still tastes pretty good. Go preservatives. Dad's friend gifted him and fam a sweet four day stay at his coastal home/air bnb in Mendocino coast. Great time and beautiful area. But I totally thought of PIB while there because we spent an afternoon in that wharf town from Overboard! The storyline of that actually kind of tracks, because it's a bit of a hard-scrabble, working class kind of area. Cute town though. Could imagine Kurt Russel growing up there in real life. Always have to visit any filming locations I can find, and luckily mom, dad, and sister always humor me. Think they might enjoy it too, but not totally sure. Lol. Also saw the lighthouse from The Majestic, the little town from East of Eden, some locations from Forever Young, the house from Cujo, and the Victorian from Sharp Objects HBO. I get such a dumb thrill from that kind of thing, it's ridiculous. Hope you'll share those vlogs with us some day like you prom-prommed. Think it would be fun to see!

Why are the thumbnails for the YT edits suddenly being blurred now? 🤷‍♂️

Number of YT views for some YT edits released in the last month. 81k (1 day) – Wonder Woman (2017) 63k (6 days) – Twins (1988) 19k (8 days) – The Manchurian Candidate (2004) 105k (12 days) – GoT S4:1-2 52k (2 weeks) – Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) 198k (3 weeks) – GoT S3:9-10

No GoT til new year :(

Dont take giga break with GoT plz :D

I have subscribed to 3 reactor channels (PiB, Canadian female 1, Canadian female 2) on Patreon since 2023 w/o interruption. I only watch full reactions – no YT edits. When I watch a full reaction by Canadian female 1 or Canadian female 2, I typically rewatch PiB full reaction side-by-side if Cassie has reacted to that content. A. PiB. Spend most of my Patreon time here. Watch almost all of her full reactions. GoT has been a godsend. B. Canadian female 1. She was on Poppies one year. This year, watched about half (or a little less) of her full reactions weekly. Most of her reactions are Patreon exclusive. She occasionally does a YT edit and some do well w/views on YT. She typically has 3 full reactions every week. This week, she had [1] TNG (1 episode) (watched), [2] Willy Wonka (1971) (poll winner) (watched half of reaction) (my kids when young mesmerized by that movie), [3] The General (1927) (she reacts to an AFI Top 100 movie typically every Friday called “AFI Friday” – I didn’t watch The General but might -- I watch about half or more of her AFI Friday reactions – I like learning about older movies). She splurged this week and gave us a 4th reaction as a tribute to Rob Reiner: [4] Stand by Me (1986) (she wrote “Rest In Peace, Rob.”) which I watched – rewatched Cassie’s reaction (Feb 2021) side-by-side. For TNG, she reacted to select episodes of S1/S2 but quit skipping episodes starting with S3. She reacts to only 1 TNG episode each week – so will take a while to finish TNG series – TNG is a highlight for me. This week, she reacted to Captain’s Holiday (Picard romance), which is one of my favorite TNG episodes of S3 – some TNG fans are not as fond of that episode as I am. C. Canadian Female 2. She on Poppies one year. Currently, for most part, only content I watch is her reaction to DS9 (2 episodes) every week. I did watch her reaction to Edward Scissorhands last week (watched Cassie’s reaction side-by-side). This week, she reacted to [1] Seinfeld (2 episodes) (I love Seinfeld but quit series reaction b/c time constraints), [2] Futurama (2 episodes), [3] When Harry Met Sally (poll runner-up), [4] DS9 (2 episodes), [5] Innerspace (1987) (poll winner).

I have one of those big divided popcorn tins sitting in my kitchen as we speak. Get one every year and my wife and I both love it.

In New Mexico we have green Chile popcorn and red Chile popcorn. I love both. Growing up in NJ, my Dad used to make Tom and Jerries. It’s a hot toddy with whipped egg, sugar, rum, over which you pour boiling water with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top. He made it on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve before bedtime. I remember we were excited because it was a grown up’s drink, which my parents served in tiny china teacups. I suspect it was a way to get us to go to bed because we got sleepy afterwards! We had Christmas cookies like Russian tea cakes, Italian ricotta cookies and spritz cookies (butter). One rule in our family during the holiday season was that my Mom did not cook on New Year’s Eve. We had Kaiser rolls with all kinds of charcuterie and cheese, lettuce, tomato and garnish to make sandwiches. My Dad said that since she cooked Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, no cooking on New Year’s and just leftovers for New Year’s Day.

I hope both you and your whole family have a really great Christmas, Cassie!

…def love the cheddar and caramel popcorn sections. Gotta be careful with the caramel ones tho. They become rock candy after awhile. Solid like a brick! 🧱

Christmas treats: We got one of those popcorn tins every year from our neighbors. We also had sugar cookies with icing, buckeyes (PB balls covered in chocolate), PB fudge, chocolate fudge, etc.

Missed the live last night, but the Seahawks won, so it worked out for me. I wish Christmas didn’t go by so fast, I used to live this time of year. Now, I work through most of it, and living in Texas now I don’t even get the Christmas weather I love. Probably going to be the first time in 52 years I don’t get to see my mom on Christmas. I have three sick cats at home (ringworm) and don’t think I can take them with me or leave them alone. Pretty sad. She turned 80 this year and will be alone at Christmas. Not the fun season I was hoping for.

I honestly forgot about those popcorn tins until you mentioned them here, I swear somebody got one every year in the 90s 😅

Gremlins is a classic, never scared me as a kid, in fact I actually laughed at some of the slapstick comedy that's in it lol! Last night was fun, even though I wasn't around very long during the stream, but I'm glad you had fun and I'm glad you liked my Christmas/Birthday card with the $100 donation for charity! I also hope you like the Gingerbread flavored Werthers I sent as well😁🍬 Last night I left you a $5 super comment in the comments section of the stream with suggestions for movie polls: "Videogame to Movie" Poll and the "Harryhausen" Poll, plus a YT video link containing a movie trailer of a certain Vietman/Dinosaur movie I told you about that came out this year that you must watch, it is..... AWESOME!!! lol! I once again hope that once you finish GoT and all the trauma, you'll consider reacting to The Three Stooges series! They're perfect for cheering up and almost impossible not to laugh at their physical slapstick routines, (besides you and Carly) they've always pulled me out of a jam and made me laugh and forget my troubles lol! Once again, I'm sorry to hear you oldest child has the flu and a bad case of it, I hope and pray your child recovers soon! Love and support, you and Carly are the best, Merry Christmas, and God bless y'all and the family 🎄🎁⛄🎅🥰😇🙏🤗😉✌🌹

Looking forward to the Extra Butter Live on Dec. 22 (fine if you do or not do a watch-along -- either way). I am getting flu/covid shots at a doctor's appointment on Dec. 22, so may be kind of out of it at the Extra Butter Live. Curious about the collab reaction. Hopefully will be one of these Christmas movies: The Ref (1994), Carol (2015), Joyeux Noel (2005), Happiest Season (2020), Bad Santa (2003) (though maybe you don't want to do Bad Santa), or A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (2011) (standalone holiday comedy fully watchable without seeing the first two Harold & Kumar films).

Gremlins should be fun. Qualifies both as a Christmas movie and a Scary but not too scary film.

I have never seen Gremlins or Meet Me in St Louis but will watch the reactions. Will miss Game of Thrones. Looking forward to Rankin Bass next week. I vote for a combo of Rudolph (1964) (55m) and Frosty (1969) (25m).

Cassie when watching Meet Me in St louis I can see/hear you asking "Did the song come 1st or the movie" the song in question, no spoilers, was written specifically for the movie!

Fingers crossed for Bishop's Wife!

So excited to see you're going to watch, "Meet Me in St Louis" from the great golden era of MGM musicals! Although its by no means MGM's first musical, I do consider "Meet Me in St Louis one of the Golden eras first premiering in 1944. I believe "Gigi being MGM's final golden era musical from 1958. In between, there are so many greats to discover. I'm thrilled to see it with you! Until then, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!"

Last nights Live Event was awesome.. great movie trivia games and a lot of money was raised for a great cause. Thanks again for hosting that Cassie. All the gifts you received were awesome .. I hope you enjoy them all.. especially all those GoT Tshirts you got.. I think youre all set on those for a least a year or so. :)

The live was a good watch, some very funny slip ups by Cassie which gave chat a good laugh. Sad no GoT for a couple of weeks but i suppose it's not very Christmassy

Will Carly be on the Gremlins reaction?

Yay YAAYY gremlins!!!

Dear Popcorn In Bed Family and distinguished PIB viewers. About Last Week. Wonder Woman with Carly, was very cool. New Round Of GOT. Kat let us know what she was watching with Cassie but I am not saying a dang word. We watched Kat's reaction of Gremlins which we thought she did a good job. Not that it matters, On this channel at least. Then there was the old Christmas Carol. Which we all enjoyed. We hope you had a great live event last night. My Mom unfortunately fell and broke part of her hip on Wednesday now we found out she has pneumonia. My brothers and sisters and I are switching between watching her dogs and watching her. Now that my gf is off for the weekend she can help too. About next week. We have Meet Me In St. Louis ( We love that movie) Cassie's version of Gremlins. Which we are looking forward too. We have been getting lots of treats from different non profits. Like the the triple popcorn. Song of the week: So this is one of the best songs ever written. Jeff Buckley's version is one of the saddest songs you will ever hear. However this the Christmas version song by a 12 year old autistic girl and her choir. Her is the Christmas version of Hallelujah: https://youtu.be/a220Kxk074k?si=PoPaGqLZwS5WCw1Y

Just so everyone knows, the LIVE was last night, not tonight. Was a lot of fun. It got taken down momentarily because of a Paramount copyright strike, but it's back up again. Steve and some others were very generous towards the charity and it was very, very nice. Happy Christmas, Cassie and Kernels!

I hate we don't get Meet Me in St. Louis on YT. Love that movie. A Bishop's Wife is a very sweet movie. I think you will enjoy it a lot.

The live was fun and I love the cause!

I think you will adore MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS. It's one of the all-time great MGM musicals. Bright, colorful, funny, sweet, charming, poignant and in the middle of it all the radiant Judy Garland. Classic Hollywood doesn't really get any better. But GREMLINS, one of my favorite films, is the one I am really looking forward to because even though you watched it in your youth, you apparently don't remember anything about it (other than that you were scared, which is an appropriate response). It's really one of the weirdest, most unique and most imaginative films of the 1980s. It's like a strange Muppet movie creature feature. It started out as a script written by Chris Columbus (who would later become the director of such films as STEPMOM, ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING, MRS. DOUBTFIRE, RENT, NINE MONTHS, the first 2 HOME ALONE movies and the first 2 HARRY POTTER movies) and it was conceived as more of a straight horror film, but no studio wanted to touch it. When Steven Spielberg got a hold of it, however, he thought it was incredibly creative and wanted to produce it through his new production company Amblin. His involvement turned the film into a more whimsical family-friendly affair, but his hiring of director Joe Dante (who had previously done the horror-comedies PIRANHA and THE HOWLING) gave the project a more bizarre, ironic, cynical and subversive sensibility. The result is a surreal, very original, tonally diverse (one could almost say schizophrenic) and eminently entertaining Christmas movie... although like DIE HARD and BATMAN RETURNS, there is debate online as to where or not it really is a Christmas movie. It's like a sci-fi/fantasy/horror/comedy/satire/kids/holiday flick. IT'S A WONDERFUL meets E.T. meets THE BLOB. It's definitely worth seeing. Will you like it? I think you will, but even if you don't, you will certainly remember it this time. I really can't wait for you to see it and if you do ultimately enjoy it, you should check out the sequel. It's even more outrageous, more creative, more ambitious, more satirical and more self-aware. It pivots away a bit from the horror and leans very hard into the comedy. Apparently they are working on a third one now (directed by Columbus himself) and seeing the first two should prepare you for that one. As always keep up the good work and merry Christmas. :-)

Hi Cassie! Hope the live stream went well! Sorry I missed it but we are overrun with family for Christmas (in a good way...well, mostly). I wondered if there is somewhere I and others can donate to the charity? I'd love to throw a few bucks toward it. Oh, and this is going may sound a little odd but my nostalgic Christmas treat is my Uncle Tommy's homemade ravioli. He used to make literally thousands of these and on Christmas Eve open his house to everyone on his street. People would come in for homemade ravs and sauce and it would go on all night and well past the waves that came in after midnight Mass. The flavor was truly melt-in-our mouths!

Will Carly be joining you for the "Gremlins" reaction?

I remember, growing up, I loved getting a big tin of Bad Santa every holiday season. I went crazy for all three flavors. The kind of sharp, salty one, the surprisingly sweet one, and the traditional "Christmassy" one. All so good. It's not for everyone-- certainly my mom never liked it in the house-- but it's one of my more treasured Xmas traditions

In fever pitch mode awaiting the download of Meet Me in St. Louis. Long anticipated, it will be a festive reaction! Can't wait!

My mom used to make a pan of little green mints that you eat. It still seems weird, but they were super yummy. Also, I mixed up the cheddar popcorn with the caramel ftw.

Even though I didn’t saw all of the Live, but at least I caught the moment Cassie got my package. Btw, you’re welcome on that jersey (again)! At least it’s not sacrilege this time as Cole Jennett would say! 😂 Today, as I write this, is the last day of work at my job before we shut down for two weeks for the Christmas holiday! One of the perks of where I work! Hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas! Tally ho folks!

Yes, popcorn tins are still a thing. Just seen a stack of them in a Walmart aisle.

Thanks for all the great content in 2025. Best wishes to you all for Christmas.

I'd love it if you would add The Bishop's Wife to the schedule. It was a close second in the poll and this month feels kinda light on those pure from start to finish Christmas movies

Just wanted to say that last nights live stream was incredible. Cassie showed her bottomless kindness and optimism, and the fan base showed why they're the best on YouTube. Have a Merry Christmas and here's to a even better 2026!

What movie?

I was hoping for “The Preachers Wife” with Denzel and Whitney but that will probably never happen 😔☹️

Dang it...looks like no Carly for Gremlins.

Thanks Cassie, last night's live was a blast, all 3 hours and 46 minutes of it and loved every second! Hope your little one's feeling better from the flu and here's hoping you and the rest of family doesn't have it and won't get it 🙏. Never thought I'd see Meet Me in St Louis on the channel but here we are and I can't wait! As for Christmas treats, my late mother's homemade gingerbread cookies, and the old fashioned hard candies filled with a chocolatety center

Just FYI for people: The notification came out today, but the Live was last night.

Gremlins should be interesting

I mentioned it when I saw Kat’s most recent live: your collab reaction for Weapons is one of my favorites and y’all need to do many more collabs together. Y’all react very differently to the same scenes and the contrast is both striking and very entertaining. One Kat collab a month would be perfect.

"We're here for the mega madness." "Super badness." 😄

Phoebe Cates alert! Every boys crush in the 80s.

Kat let the “cat” (couldn’t resist) out of the bag, the movie is….. *bleep*

Can’t wait you will love Gremlins Please watch stranger Things Some movies for new year Hope Floats a great Sandra Bullock movie with Carly Do a Sister poll

No GoT this coming week?
