Upcoming! BUDDY COP & POP WEEK!
Hi friends, whats poppin?
How was your weekend? Ben was out of town and I played the Saturday shuffle with all the kids stuff on Saturday. Mostly hockey. I swear I never warmed up all weekend because I was in an ice rink. The Canadian in me should have dressed warmer and been more prepared. Did anyone watch The Golden Globes? I just watched the red carpet and the highlights-Brittany Snow, Jennifer Lawrence, Tessa Thompson and Zoey Deutch were my best dressed! I thought the podcast sequence Nikki G did was hilarious! It's weird I'm in such a movie world I feel like but haven't seen any of the nominees except Sinners. I really do want to watch One Battle and Marty Supreme-are they on channel watches you think?
Welcome to Buddy Cop Week where unlilkley duos will solve crime, probably cost tax payers a lot of dollars and hopefully win our hearts along the way! Our Buddy Cop Poll winner was Rush Hour and close behind was The Nice Guys-I was planning on doing Midnight Run as my Popcorn Pick of the Month so I decided to make it a theme week-Buddy Cop&Pop is born!
I promise Justice League is still coming-its tricky because I want to watch it with Carly but she doesn't want to come near my STILL FREAKING SICK HOUSE!
On YT this week we will have The Rainmaker (somehow this one just completely fell into the couch cushions and we just accidentally forgot to put it on YT, so finally getting its day there) as well as Fantastic Four and GOT finale episodes-eeeeeeeee!!!!
We also had the December Pick a Flick drawing last week and it was a blast! Was on there for an hour just using a mouse for the first time apparently and it smelt like Blockbuster ;) Our winner was TANNER with The Assassination of Jesse James! If you want to enter for January's draw-you can enter any day in January right here-FAQ's should all be updated with how to do it!
We won't be doing a Trivia this first quarter because the 5TH ANNUAL POPPIES will be this first quarter-It's looking like most likely March 21st! Woah! I honestly can't believe it will be our FIFTH!!
Extra Butter LIVE this month will be 1/27!
Ok you guys are the best! Take your vitamin C!

Join me in congratulating Cassie on 500,000 YT subscribers...when's the party!!
best new and old movies are deception the best you can chitty chitty bang bang parasite if follows khamoshi the musicalsend lovely film's
About 70 subscribers away from 500K as I typed this!
59 now
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms starts tonight for those waiting on the GoT drop and want something to watch. Hopefully it's pretty decent.
The hope is to have the YouTube edit drop an hour before
For Justice League... PLEASE watch the Zack Snyder Cut!
That is the plan. All 4 hours.
Oh I see it's the new one, was hoping for any of the others... I think the 2015 one especially is under appreciated
This the best version - imo
What version of Fantastic Four?
Let me know when Midnight Run drops and I will subscribe again. These are the types of decent films from the 80s and 90s worth seeing again with you.
Midnight Run will (should) drop by Tuesday Jan 20, within 7-days of her update post is a good rule-of-thumb.
Red Letter Media has a new episode today about Star Trek Deep Space 9 and mentions an article going over the phenomenon of the impact of reaction videos on younger people, with how those videos are leading to new fans of the classic series like to TOS and TNG. I would like to think Cassie has played a role in that and she should feel proud, she's done a good thing.
I could definitely believe that. For older movies too. Genuinely believe that they've been a net positive for the industry. They should cool it a bit with the copyright strikes. I mean there's been movies I've seen five times already that I rented specifically for this channel, and streamers I might've ended my subscription to if not for PIB or other groups.
Hello 😃, I've been a member for a year now! I really enjoyed your reactions i recently watched it's a wonderful life with you and Carly . I live alone so I enjoy and appreciate all the reactions you do as it makes me feel I have company 😊
Youtube took down Cassie's "Some Like It Hot" video!
Is that Paramount?
Australia Day is not far off and there has normally been a movie, any idea if that's still the case and what film would it be? Gallipoli was spoken about.
Cassie did mention Croc Dundee 3 for Australia Day in a recent live. Not a definite decision, but if it’s on her radar, then she’ll probably watch that first. I’m a huge Croc Dundee fan and even my advice to that is….please no. Gallipoli is way better.
You’re gonna love midnight run
Exactly what I've been saying... For years.
Matt Damon is incredible. You should watch the Bourne films! Or Good Will Hunting with Affleck and Robin Williams
She's mentioned the Bourne films might be rewatched sometime in the future.
Would you DARE watch Project X ? :)
The one with Matthew Broderick and the chimpanzee?
Tango and Cash
It's the first month of 2026, and Terminator 2 is still PiBs most watched youtube edit with 1.6 million views So let's just go ahead now and put Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines on the schedule to coincide with Judgment Day, July 25th. Smashing 👍
Hot take- I like 3 better than 2.
Off topic- Wow. Just heard about Timothy Busfield. Never saw that one coming. Now we have to wait for the trial.
I did hear that he turned himself in and claims he's innocent, so who knows?
The 5th annual poppies might coincide with 500k subs on YT.
Just one tick away now.
Those 2 movies you mentioned are defintely worth watching on the channel. Fit perfectly with the original purpose of the channel.
The original channel mission was to catch up on the great films most people have seen but Cassie missed, like Howard the Duck
Please Pray for Amin and Anita, who stream from Iran, on Patreon as “Wadumin”. They haven’t posted in awhile, and I’m hoping that they are “OK”.
I'm not your buddy, guy!
"I'm not your friend, Palooka." "What?" "You heard me, Punchy."
Ya know Cassie, I wouldn't mind a dedicated 50s sci-fi week.
I concur, but ONLY if you stretch it to include 1960 - the year of the greatest sci-fi movie in the history of Victorian era time-travel sci-fi movies
For those into classic horror movies - You,Me & The Movies reaction channel has announced they’re premiering The Fly (1958) on YouTube- 1/14/26 at 3pm.
Love my 50s sci fi/horror. Unfortunately I find their channel insufferable. He tries too hard to be a character and watching her is like how I’d imagine it would be to watch a corpse react.
A bit off topic. But did the top secret reaction with Kat ever happen? Starting to think it was only a myth, a legend passed down through months of the Reactoverse. I check her channel every other day and there still hasn't been any mention of it. And when I think of Kat I think of your shared 'muther fricker' moment in Weapons and I have to watch that part again. It's hilarious every single time.
I’d say Cassie probably pushed it back due to a combination of lack of time and family illness’s. Hopefully we’ll see it happen eventually.
Should definitely watch One Battle After Another on the channel.
nah. that movie was pure crap. Doesn't even deserve a golden globe. THe actress winning it only had 15 mins screentime.
I did not catch the golden globes. I believe I was taking a nap at that time and I couldn't be happier with my decision. And I don't think those 2 movies you mentioned are worth watching on the channel. To be fair I haven't seen them yet but I'd prefer we focus back to the original purpose of the channel.
edit to the edit - It's already been selected twice on that monthly list and has 2 submits. If we can get a bit more we can get the odds even more in our favour. Everyone would thank us after in the comments so our tactics will be justified. - 1.43% chance to get it picked at 2, we can get that higher if we have 1-2 more requests hahaha - edit --- Everyone that has championed Kimi no Na wa - Your Name in the past go to https://beta.popcorninbed.com/paf and add this movie as your response and just dont ever stop monthly lol. It's the highest rated out of every single movie picked atm. Flood the requests with it until we get our way! haha ---- You should watch Your Name (Kimi no Na wa). It's so good it's hard to state. In fact, I think Carly may even like it since it's romance
That one has been championed before. That's unusual for a non-Jackie Chan foreign film, so it must be a good'un.
If I were to recommend a show or movie to you I would recommend the following. For a show, watch Psych (2006-2014), ultimate show for millennials who grew up/understand 80's and 90's references with fantastic comedic character dynamics. For movies, I would Recommend Sidekicks. Sidekicks is the ultimate Karate Kid parody, which I saw years before my dad showed me karate kid.
Psych was the one with Tony Schalub?
Hello Cassie, I love your videos and you have one of the most genuine personalities on Youtube and you avoid "algorithm-based" videos just to grab our attention. Everytime I see your thumbnails, I think "Yes, she's finally seen it" or "Darn, she beat me to it." To be honest, I thought you already watched Game of Thrones or I was gonna beat you to it.
Is it me or does Cassie and Nikki G sound alike? idk..I thought my YT channel accident popped up during the globes and pib started running 😉
I personally don't think Cassie sounds like nails on a chalkboard
Love Midnight Run. A few people maybe aren't as impressed by it, but I think why it is so well remembered is the tightrope it walks between action, comedy, thriller, adventure in a road movie. It's hard to nail, and casting pretty much has to be perfect. The same director did Gigli, and that's a movie that went wrong everywhere Midnight Run went right. Heck, I think Midnight Run is the fourth Martin Brest directed movie on the channel. Beverly Hills Cop, Meet Joe Black, Scent of a Woman. He must rank pretty high after Spielberg on the react list. Midnight Run also had a tv show/movies follow up that was fairly unsuccessful. It starred Chris McDonald, aka Shooter from Happy Gilmore in the DeNiro role. I watched them back then but it just couldn't pull off the same feel as the movie.
Yeah, I truly don't understand how anyone could not be impressed by MIDNIGHT RUN. It's excellent. I daresay it's perfect. It really could not be improved upon in any way. I can only guess those who think it's anything less than very good (say, average/mediocre to bad) either simply haven't seen it in a long time or just don't like that genre.
You saw KPop Demon Hunters, too—it took home well-deserved Globes for Best Song and Best Animated Film!
Congratulations to Tanner. "The Assassination of Jesse James"?! Jesse James was assassinated?!?! Oh no!!! If it's not too much of a spoiler, could someone tell me who did the deed? "Welcome to Buddy Cop Week" Noticeable by its absence: Bon Cop Bad Cop (2006), a Two Solitudes version of the Wunza formula. What with your complaining about the cold, I will start doubting whether you truly are Canadian. And if we already started in the direction of French, there's the French classic Les Ripoux (1984).
It is January 2026, and I hereby advocate for *that* version of The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). [#013] Dedicated to Richard Maurer.
HH - If you really wanted to dedicate something to me you would be advocating for Horror of Dracula, or Shin Godzilla, or It Follows. As it stands, dedicating “that” version of Dr. Moreau to me feels more like a aggression than a dedication.
The Nice Guys !!! Let's go
This is going to be bit of fun. Looking forward to "Midnight run" and "The Nice Guys", with latter being something I was interesting in when I joined, only to be a bit disappointed it was marked as seen. I had made my peace with it, but glad it was back on the table when the error was discovered. "Rush Hour" I haven't really been inclined to rewatch compared to the other two, with "The Nice Guys" being very rewatchable to me. With the amount of movies still around that fit this theme, it could almost be a quarterly thing.
RUSH HOUR is definitely the weakest of these three, but still pretty fun. NICE GUYS and MIDNIGHT RUN, though, are both teriffic (with the latter being one of my favorites).
I like theme weeks. That is all.
I will like a theme week when the word ‘monster’ is attached to it.
I haven't watched the Golden Globes or the Oscars for a few years now. Although I do try to stay informed on what is being nominated. Unfortunate, because I used to love these awards shows, they were fun. Now they are used so actors can shove their political ideology down our throats. Also, it feels like its more about awarding movies with messages, instead of awarding movies that have artistic merit. The Globes were at their best when Ricky Gervais was the host, he was hilarious. How I wish he had gotten a chance to host the Oscars, who haven't had a good host since Billy Crystal.
I miss Billy Crystal too. Wish he was around more.
I wonder how much longer we can keep politics out of these comments? We couldn’t even comment on Fantastic Four without people coming in to imply that it’s “woke”.
Discussing “woke” elements in new films is just the nature of modern filmmaking now. I hate it too. I so deeply wish to be able to reset my mind back 20 years ago, when I had trust in Hollywood that they were making films the best way possible, that they were telling the story in the best possible way, and not changing things here and there because they want to please a certain group of people and writing with DEI practices in mind. But my eyes have been opened and they can’t be shut. I hate it. If you’re still enjoying new films and don’t see any difference, then don’t let me or anyone else try and change it. Just enjoy. As far as Fantastic Four goes, I did not make any initial post and had no intention of making any comment, but something was said that set me off. Sorry. Like you said, some people can’t resist. I tried, but didn’t succeed.
I saw Midnight Run once back when it first came out. I remember it being funny but not much else. I’ll catch the YouTube edit when it comes out. Probably won’t watch the full reaction to Rush Hour either. It’s okay but I think the best part was the bloopers during the end credits.
You know, I’ll finally say it. I never thought Midnight Run was that funny or “Classic” worthy. I’ve seen it a couple a times, and both times were not very memorable. It’s been a while now, and I’ve been wondering if I missed something somehow. And Rush Hour is the least exciting of the week for me. It’s been a while since I saw a Chris Tucker film, and my memory of him hasn’t aged well. His role in Fifth Element keeps hogging my memory of him, which I know isn’t indicative of his whole work. I lied, I watched Money Talks (1997) in recent years. I did like that. But I like Charlie Sheen though. Anyhoo, I’ll quit commenting now Richard. ;-)
Don't forget the original 48 HRS. (1982) [RT 92%] [came in 3rd in poll after Rush Hour and Nice Guys] BEFORE the sequel BHC 2 (1987) [RT 48%]. 48 Hrs [Eddie Murphy, Nick Nolte] is "often credited as being the first in the 'buddy cop' genre." One of the most commercially successful films of 1982, receiving widespread acclaim from critics. Many of us older (60+) have nostalgia for 48 Hrs, not BHC 2.
Cassie and many here may have a rough ride with the frequent overt racism of Nick Nolte's character in 48 HOURS. He uses a certain world...often. Also, what's lost in context was that California city cops at the time, esp. in SF and LA, were acknowledged as bullies and often operating at the very edge of the law, if not sailing right past it. 48 HOURS was the movie, however, that made Eddie Murphy a movie star.
Haven't seen Midnight Run in a long time. Looking forward to it. 👍
It's a classic. A fantastic road/buddy action-comedy. One of the best films of the 1980s.
Midnight Run is the perfect action-comedy. My favorite DeNiro performance.
De Niro is terrific in it. Grodin is also fantastic. It's probably my favorite Grodin performance.
Dear PIB Family and Distinguished PIB viewers About Last Week: We were in Colorado and Utah skiing. We had a blast I went over this on my latest YT video. We did watch What We Do In The Shadows with Kat too funny. We also watched City Slickers with Cassie. Again we were rolling with laughter. That was my Dad's pick when we were in the Dominican Republic. 🤯 The week ahead looks like a full week and we got some catching up to do, in the next couple of days GOT, Fantastic Four. After the Steelers lose last night I didn't sleep well. We just learned after 19 seasons Mike Tomlin is stepping down. I have known 3 Steeler coaches since childhood (or since Sharon Tate died) Chuck Nolan, Bill Cower and Mike Tomlin. Think about this when Tomlin was hired Motorola Razr were a thing. 🤯🥲 Dude never had a losing season. I think it's time for a song to cheer me up. Here is Blind Melon with No Rain https://youtu.be/3qVPNONdF58?si=OZXV65VSPEXRQXIr
That is breaking news about Mike Tomlin. I like him. I remember when Chuck Noll and Bill Cower were coach. I live in Houston and been a fan of the Houston Texans since their inception, so I was happy with the outcome last night, but don't like that came at your expense. I love Blind Melon. My favorite BM song is "Change" (1992) (link below) -- maybe not as upbeat as No Rain. R.I.P. Shannon Hoon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyPQ5VSX_rI
Just a heads up Cassie, if you’re completely unaware… before watching One Battle After Another. The film is VERY CURRENTLY “Politically Charged,” so expect the comment section to very likely get heated. Perhaps make a suggestion in the post for the film, for people to make their own headline comments and not reply to someone else’s, creating ugly heated debate. Just a thought. (If you do suggest that, it’ll be interesting to see how long it lasts. ;-)
Yeah, I liked the movie myself, but those of a certain, shall we say, political persuasion are going to hate it and if they're in this community they will definitely make themselves known in the comment section.
Even though DiNiro. Has since turned into a kind of rabid foaming at the mouth vulgar trump attack dog-hater. This movie “Midnight run “ is terriffic .
Better that than being pdf file in chief
Love these movies
I'm not big on award shows, except the poppies 😉 Yeah, I'm definitely hyped for buddy cop week, though sadly I guess I have to wait longer for beverly hills cop 2 lol. Can't wait til you get to it. Rush hour, nice guys, and midnight run are all fun. No doubt you'll enjoy em.
"Stakeout" (1987) would have been good for buddy cop
It should be a candidate if she ever does a 'mustache week'.
When's Beverly Hills Cop 2?
I hope the next 80s Eddie Murphy is the original 48 Hrs. (1982).
I'm excited for Midnight Run & Rush Hour. Stay healthy Cassie and make the kids get better. Have a great week.
Eat lots of Kimchi and or sauerkraut. Does wonders for the immune system.
Or at least keeps everyone else far away from you so they won't catch anything! 😆
Man tango and cash would have been fun for you to see
Good one. Underrated.
I enjoyed your reaction to 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Cassie. Fun Fact: That film is one of Tom Hanks' all time favourite movies ever since he first saw it in the cinema as a kid. In 2016, he appeared on BBC Radio 4 programme Desert Island Discs discussing his career and choosing his eight favourite pieces of music. When asked if he could save just one of his eight music tracks, he chose the Richard Strauss main theme music from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b079m78n
Still bothered that BHC 2 didn't get on the buddy cop poll. Best one of the BHC series.
"Did anyone watch The Golden Globes? " Is that the one that just happened where "celebrities" who are dumber than a box of rocks and know nothing about politics, were bitching about politics? Because I heard that part. That is also why so many don't care about the awards shows anymore.
I'm seeing more and more right-wing talking points on this sub lately. I thought it was supposed to be politics free?
This time of year oranges are in season so be eating at least 1 a day—3 a day if you're feeling under the weather—And Vitamin D + magnesium supplements to make up for lost sunlight
Did The Pitt winning best Drama convince you to watch it? It has been praised as the most realistic medical Drama
Sounds like the pits boom-tish!
Getting 3 movies in a week feels like the old days
I don't normally shout out other reactors, but just on the buddy-cop theme Madison Thames reacted to Stakeout last week on YT
Also, Shandor at the Cinema recently did Running Scared (1986) Billy Crystal, Gregory Hines.
One Battle is absolutely a channel watch, just be prepared for some comments from the worst people imaginable
Hello!! 👋
Hi Cassie, it looks like another great week on PiB. Buddy cop movies are a lot of fun, so I think you will enjoy this week. Don’t forget a big day in your life and all of us who love PiB is coming up, 21st January is the date of “The Shawshank Redemption” being posted on YouTube! 5 years and still going strong! Sorry! bit of admin now. I have (actually My Wife Lucy) contacted you and Ben again via popcorn support. Contrary to my belief, the problem I had before has not been sorted out and unfortunately is still an outstanding issue! Please, please can someone take a look in to this. I sure you understand I really don’t want pay twice! I know you have so much to cope with, so I’m sorry to be a pain. Just got to say again, well done to Ben for the new PaF, it’s fantastic and I really enjoy it even more now with the new visuals. It’s great to see what other people have chosen. I hope the “sick house” gets better soon. You are the best ❤️ P.s don’t forget Beverly Hills Cop2!😃
+1 for Ben and the new PAF.
Heads up, if you submitted your January PAF movie last week the old way (Google form), and go to the site today to officially create an account, you'll have to submit your film again. They did not port over.
Thanks for the warning, Paul!
Great week. Cranking out some good content. Looking forward to start of S5. One Battle is definitely channel worthy. So is Marty Supreme. The Assassination of Jesse James has been on my watchlist for a long time. Congrats Tanner. 48 HRS. (1982) [came in 3rd in poll after Rush Hour and Nice Guys] Don't forget the original 48 Hrs. (1982) [RT 92%] BEFORE the sequel BHC 2 (1987)[RT 48%]. 48 Hrs [Eddie Murphy, Nick Nolte] is "often credited as being the first in the 'buddy cop' genre." The musical score was composed by James Horner. Released by Paramount, 48 Hrs. was one of the most commercially successful films of 1982, receiving widespread acclaim from critics. 48 Hrs. was Eddie Murphy's first film and is arguably a needed watch to fully understand EM's career. Many of us older (60+) have nostalgia for 48 Hrs, not BHC 2.
Idk how BHC2 didn't Crack top two. We dropped the ball on that one, gang lol
Good job Cassie and take care of yourself and take your Care Of supplements
Yes! Midnight Run! Can't wait to watch it along with Cassie! Of course, it's no "A Perfect World" (cough), but it's a great one! The urge to share some favorite lines is great....holding back....for fear of spoilers....ugh....it's so hard!
Yeah, MIDNIGHT RUN has some iconic lines.
Watching "Rush Hour" with Cassie munching popcorn and quipping along with me should be a fun time. When Jackie Chan's in his zone, it's like Bruce Lee being directed by Mel Brooks. He's not QUITE at that level in this movie, but there are hints of it. He and Chris Tucker play off each other very well. Hell, I'm thinking of changing my monthly vote to "Rumble in the Bronx," depending on how she reacts to this film. If she likes this one, she'd LOVE that one.
Rumble in the Bronx is really good 👍
Something tells me you will love all of these movies, but especially THE NICE GUYS. Not just because you enjoyed Shane Black's KISS KISS BANG BANG so much, but because underneath all the tough guy talk, dark humor and sometimes more sometimes less comic violence, it has a certain amount of sweetness that should go over very well with you.
Ditto. Kinda sad we didn’t get The Long Kiss Goodnight last month. With soon to be Shane Black fun to be had, here’s hoping Christmas comes early this year and The Long Kiss Goodnight gets an early watch. It don’t have to be watched at Christmas.
The Rainmaker was on YouTube but disappeared from it if I recall correctly
I thought that too.
Turner & Hootch bring tisses
She already has seen Turner & Hooch
Best. Week. EVAH! Thank you, Cassie! This will be so much fun. I hope people at your house recover soon. As you know, Diet Coke cures all (at least, that's what I tell myself as I guzzle the 32 oz from the local gas 'n sip). God bless!
Woohoo! I’ve been waiting for the YouTube edit of The Rainmaker!
I've seen "Midnight Run" twice and it surprised me both times. It's the performances from the two leads. They really are very good as a pairing.
Their chemistry is palpable.
One Battle After Another is definitely an on-channel watch.
rush hour!!!!!!!
One battle is definitely channel worthy.
One Battle After Another is on MAX right now. It’s about a lot of stuff, but at its core, it’s really about a dad trying to protect his daughter. I think you’ll really like it.
Glad you liked it, Brian, but given that our theater trips are fewer and fewer lately, I was so disappointed I nearly walked out halfway through. So many plot holes and reality-breaking (not in a good way, either) leaps of faith that I wanted my money back after 30 minutes, and I'm a person who is a believer in sunk costs. All that said, as a creator, I'm glad it's finding an audience, and I'm glad you and a few others here liked it enough to recommend. If Cassie does watch it, well, I'll give it a YouTube like but I just can't watch that again.
Yay great choices Hope you can watch BH Cop 2 Also for Feb Hope Floats People we meet in Vacation Sweet November
Definitely can't forget BHCII
Wow, what a week! Great choices all around. Can’t wait!
That might be the best week in the history of the channel! It’s a shame that Carly won’t be watching any of them with you.
WOW!!! The app looks amazing. 🤩
Wow! For months now it was week after week where none of the reactions really interested me. And now there is a week with not just Midnight Run, but two other movies that I'm quite looking forward to.
"I'll get some doughnuts."
I'm pretty sure "The Rainmaker" got blocked shortly after being uploaded to YT.
You can't be a Fantastic Four if its not actually four people. Fantastic Quote Ever.
Buddy Cop Week looks Awesome! I just want to make sure that 2 other Buddy Cop films that have popped up in the frying pan due to proximity to other films, remain in the bucket… The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) & Running Scared (1986) Both films being Christmas adjacent, BUT NOT Christmas exclusive. They can be watched anytime of the year. The Long Kiss Goodnight written by the same writer as The Nice Guys… Shane Black. and Running Scared, starring City Slickers’ Billy Crystal. The chemistry between these two sets of duos are some of the best in the genre, and both extremely overlooked and underrated. The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996), starring Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson & Running Scared (1986), starring Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines. Thank You.
Running Scared…another great buddy cop movie. How about Stakeout with Emilio Esteves and Richard Dreyfuss?
Looking forward to all three movies this week. I think you'll be really happy with your PPotM and the winner of the poll is great. Here's also hoping to more Jackie Chan on the channel. I was rewatching some old video after Rush Hour won and you said "uno mas!" in it with Carly. Have you two already seen Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights? The latter has some of Jackie's all-time best American stuntwork. To see him do crazier things you'll have to look into some of his truly classic Hong Kong movies. There's definitely some dated humor in, say, the first three Police Story movies (what passed for funny at that time trends toward the wacky and probably a little bit mean-spirited), but I think it'd be worth it just to see him do the incredible things he can do (and in the third one, alongside Everything Everywhere All At Once's Michelle Yeoh).
Think she said she only ever seen Jackie Chan in Shanghai Noon, I've got Jackie Chan's Who Am I as my PaF. Some classic stunts and action in that one just before he broke into Hollywood.
What a lineup, still feel like no Tango & Cash on the poll was a missed opportunity!!!
Though I think I know the answer, thought I'd ask if Meet me in St Louis will make it to YouTube or here for the little kernels. Thanks Cassie hope you all are better soon!
MGM musical ...yes please
2026 is definitely off to a great start. My jaw unhinged, my eyes got as big as dinner plates and I literally shouted "YES!" out loud when I saw that you are finally going to be watching MIDNIGHT RUN. As is no secret around here, this is one of my all-time favorite films. I have seen it literally dozens of times. I've always known that you would like it, so it was the first Blu-ray that I ever sent to you and it was one of the five picks that I submitted when I won trivia night. For a while I was selecting it as my pick a flick, but I recently changed that because I had a feeling you might choose it as a PPOTM and it looks like I was right. As much as I am looking forward to your reaction to THE NICE GUYS (which I also love) and to some degree RUSH HOUR, the video I am most excited about this week is obviously MIDNIGHT RUN. Truly one of the greatest buddy action- comedies of the 1980s.
"Marvin! Marvin! Marvin!" Also, Dennis Farina has a quote about having a sandwich that is not suitable for this board, but that my wife uses frequently. Love that movie.
Sorry you’ve been sick for so long Cassie can’t catch a break 😭 I’m liking Buddy Cop week! Nice idea!
THE NICE GUUUUYYYYYSSSS!
I can't believe we're finally getting Midnight Run! Years of begging has finally paid off, but now I have to choose my next movie to beg for... 🤔 Maybe one of Stallone's best, Cop Land
I know, right? I am so happy. This will now be two of the five picks I submitted when I won trivia night that she will have seen. Only three more (CITY LIGHTS, CITIZEN KANE and THE FISHER KING) to go.
Buddy Cop & Pop! Love it! Midnight Run and Rush Hour are a ton of fun. I’ve never seen The Nice Guys, so looking forward to checking that one out. Can’t believe it’s time for the 5th Annual Popppies already! One of my favorite ways to wipe away those January blues. And they keep getting better every year, so really pumped for this one! Cassie…YOU take your Vitamin C! And B, and D, and E, and K. Just load up on a really powerful Multivitamin. Wouldn’t it be nice to get through 2026 with no more illnesses?
I am curious what you think of THE NICE GUYS. It's a bit crude, but very funny (from the same writer director of KISS KISS BANG BANG).
Curious, so how did Carly dodge the sickness and watch Fantastic 4 with you?
Arrest me now! Put me in jail, solitary confinement, I don't care! I don't want to miss a minute of this! What a solid line-up, one I will stand in and stand up for forever. Even GOT gets a spot. What a week it will be for all law abiding citizens and law breakers alike! Couldn't make a guess on which one Cassie will like the best, it's a pure judgement call!
Rush Hour will be a good time, I just know it! Hope your sick house gets better soon 🙏
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are great in this movie!
Speaking of cop movies, I can’t remember if I’ve said before but I highly recommend reacting to Police Academy (1984).
It’s gonna be a good week. Nice Guys, Rush Hour and GoT! As if my week wasn’t already busy enough, but I’ll take it. Savor the small things.
One Battle After Another is a definite reaction worthy movie
Nice Guys and Midnight Run are all-timers. Can’t wait!
Midnight Run I found pretty average, never saw Nice Guys.
What a week of reactions to look forward to and I get my long time PaF pick of The Nice Guys watched, pretty sweet!
Yaaaaaay, finally, ‘Midnight Run’
I am so happy.
Looking forward to Fantastic Four First Steps & these Buddy Cop films.
Oh my goodness! This is beautiful! 🤩
