Upcoming..
Hey friends, whats poppin?
I hope you had a good Valentines weekend. Ours was nice and chill, despite being in mourning (iykyk) .We did a cute heart-shaped-french-toast breakfast with the kids, Ben and I went to a comedy show-it was only ok haha but the date night was fun; and some girlfriends got together-we each brought a dozen of our favorite flowers and made little cute bouquets for ourselves.
Ok as I type this-I just saw Robert Duvall passed away :( so sad, he was so great in everything I saw him in and reminded me so so much of one of my grandpas. It was uncanny. I think my favorites I have seen are Open Range and Days of Thunder. The Judge and Secondhand Lions have both high on my watchlist. We have lost some great ones lately haven't we? I will wear my Purolator hat with pride today.
This week we have Moonstuck, Logan's Run and we return to the seven kingdoms, despite it all, we must keep fighting for the good. I'm channeling Brienne of Tarth and we press on. Next week will be Bullet Train, Sense and Sensibility, Birdcage and GOT. I haven't forgotten about our runner uppers either. I plan on watching The Day the Earth Stood Still, Oblivion, Philadelphia Story and Awakenings (maybe PAUL even)-March will be our runner upper month and don't forget about PIB MARCH MADNESS! This is always SO fun! And the FIFTH ANNUAL POPPIES in March-woah, March is going to be crazy!
ALSO FEBRUARY LIVE THIS SATURDAY! I am going to try and do them more often so they are a little less long each time? This one is going to be pretty casual!
EXTRA BUTTER LIVE will be 2/23 as well!
All good things. All good things.
Thanks for everything my loyal Sers.

I know I say it every time but Mcfarland USA is Cassie and Carly friendly, Sports, True Story and Kevin Costner.... A Man called Otto another one Cassie and Carly friendly and a real tender, tear jerker!!! Robert Duvall Second Hand Lions and Lonesome Dove....
+1 for McFarland, USA (2015) (sport/drama). Kevin Costner. Inspirational. Uplifting. Family. Community. One of my favorite Costner movies.
Cassie hasn't said yet. Or she forgot to tell us. She normally has them in the afternoon around 3-4 PM Mountain Time. But sometimes there are later. I am going to try and keep an eye out, but it would help me to plan my day it I had a time. I hate when she just pops out a live with 5 minutes warning. But she has never done that for a live package opening. She probably thinks she told us.
3:00pm MST, 5:00pm Eastern
Anyone know what time tomorrow's YT live is going to be?
I came here to ask the same thing.
I'm looking forward to March Madness also Cassie
Looking forward to seeing Moonstruck and Logan's Run and the YT LIVE and the Poppies
The next Norman Jewison movie (Cassie's seen In the Heat of the Night) should be The Russians Are Coming... - his film before Heat. It was shown at the Berlin Film Festival when new, and the Russians requested a screening (during the Cold War). When shown in Russia, the artistic and perhaps political community was upset that they hadn't come up with the concept. If PAF should ever pop up my selection, we'll all get to see it.
Or perhaps "Jesus Christ Superstar" for Easter? (Although I'm not sure if it would work copyright-wise, since it's virtually all singing/music. 🤔) The original "Thomas Crown Affair" is another one I'd like to see her do (I don't know why more people tend to push for the '99 version 🤷♂️).
Falling Down will win the Robert Duvall poll, so I hope you react to 2nd to give other Duvall movies a chance (e.g., AFI Top 100 movies, though my guess is the gritty police drama "Colors" w/Sean Penn will come in 2nd). On the other hand, your reaction schedule seems jammed pack, so may want to avoid 2nd and just react to the winner Falling Down.
Sounds like the schedule will be full for the next month. Hoping she still decides to fit in Awakenings. Remarkable true story.
Well after having finally watched it, I really gotta recommend Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It's kind of endearing and heartwarming, in a Game of Thrones sorta way, also hilarious. Definitely consider it! I also recommend House of the Dragon, you can form your own opinion on it. I still think there was a lot of good in Season 2, and a lot of build up that we need the next season for. Season 1 though, excellent.
Ever since PiB March Madness gave us Apocalypse Now, I have definitely been on board.
I’ll always be on board , no matter what it gives us. For me it’s more about the randomness than anything else. But so far there’s never been a MM tournament where I didn’t have several movies that I cared about in the competition. And considering how many movies are actually in competition it’s highly unlikely that I wouldn’t have at least couple to root for.
With all the darkness in the news, now may be the appropriate time for Eyes Wide Shut. Kubrick knew some things, apparently. Maybe wait until after Love Month though.
Shhhhh! I come here to pretend the world isn’t going to hell.
I've been thinking about more sci-fi movies that would be a good fit for Cassie, and I think a really good choice would be Cowboys & Aliens (2011). It's not exactly the best movie ever made, but it's an enjoyable and competently made bit of escapism that ticks a lot of Cassie's boxes. You've got Daniel Craig as the lead, Harrison Ford as a grumpy old man, cowboys doing cowboy things, aliens doing alien things, laughs, action, and a solid supporting cast.
Dang, hard to resist cowboys and aliens doing cowboys and aliens things. Got my vote.
There are 1899 requested movies now in the new PR database app. Moving forward, I assume Cassie will source all Polls from the new PR database? Is it reasonable to expect 3 to 4 Polls every month?
I look forward to the new PR being used to source polls, but don't know it's ready. There are bugs/things being worked out. Yet, we could go ahead and start using new PR to source polls anyway. An advantage is would increase participation. Interestingly, if I assign all of my 180 points to a movie without anyone else giving it points -- that places it at No. 35 in the rankings. All 4 of my entries (in order below) are in the Top 200 1. Friday Night Lights #10 2. Capote #157 3. Vicky Cristina Barcelona #169 4. Lion #140 Yet, I didn't put a lot of thought into it b/c was more about testing.
You know what's annoying? Horror of Dracula is listed as Dracula (1958) on the new Popcorn Requests list, which, while that's the correct title outside the US, it's still mostly know as Horror of Dracula. It's currently at #101 on the list, should anyone care to give it a upvote (shameless plug).
Cannot. Already upped.
Falling Down over any single other Robert Duvall movie. We watched it in high school and I went straight to the store after school, bought it and watched it again that night. This, The Game also with Michael Douglas, and Keanu's Hardball are oddly enough the only movies I can think of that I've watched back to back in the same day even if they aren't my 3 favorite movies, although Interstellar probably would have been if it wasn't 69 hours long
Hardball's a good one for Cassie.
Cassie, I’m looking forward to March Madness again. Can I suggest you take the opportunity this summer to do something similar with the Football (soccer) World Cup?! It’s hosted in Canada, U.S and Mexico. I believe it starts on the 11th of June. Canada’s first game is on the 12th of June. Will you be watching?
Good idea also perhaps watch Escape to Victory as it's one of the decent Football movies.
Hi Cassie, Lucy and myself do celebrate Valentine’s Day but for a different reason. It was the date we bought our home together, our little place out in the sticks of north Norfolk, where we could keep our Goats and many other animals. We both worked at the Zoo when we met, so the animals are our children. I’m looking forward to a few sci-fi’s. I think you may enjoy your man Cruise in Oblivion. I still can’t believe you have never seen Sense and sensibility! One of my wife’s favourites and a stacked cast! My suggestion to commemorate Robert Duvall is “Falling Down” 1993 with Micheal Douglas. I hope you have all recovered from the dreaded bug’s you guys had? Take care of yourself You are the best ❤️
I probably missed it, but did we get an answer about reacting to the last Mission Impossible movie?
Cassie just keeps saying it's right around the corner, lol.
Views for the most recent PiB movie reactions on YT. 51k – Escape from NY (3 days) 176k – Good Will Hunting (6 days) 52k – A Fistful of Dollars (10 days) 76k – ZS Justice League (2/2) (13 days) 28k – Assassination of Jesse James (2 weeks) 93k – ZS Justice League (1/2) (2 weeks) 45k – Midnight Run (3 weeks) 90k – The Nice Guys (3 weeks) Kat YT video with Cassie 109k -- Scarface (10 days)
Pitiful view count on Midnight Run. I know it was popular in its day, but no one my age knows of it. Weird how such good movies can sometimes fall through the cracks
Cassie, you are the best for not stopping GoT. We all definitely thank you lol. Also definitely super looking forward to Oblivion and Logan's Run.
Sunshine and Oblivion are top tier sci-fi.
Logan's Run, the movie Ross from Friends described as the "sexiest movie ever"
Wow, Ross must've seen like only two movies.
Not sure if you have seen it but Second hand Lions has Robert Duvall With Michael Caine. It's an enjoyable little drama.
Curious, has anyone here ever purchased a custom reaction? A reactor I follow, "Totally Whatever" (two sisters) offers that service. A number of patrons have used the service already this year. Cost is $250. Seems high (haha)...but I'm tempted. A number of reactors do now offer a monthly PAF drawing, but I'm not aware of any others offering custom reactions.
I never have. Thought hard about it, but it's more economical to use that money to get a whole bunch of memberships from different reactors instead. You then get hundreds of reactions that may not be that ONE movie you really want but got to be money better spent
Anyone else getting "This message might be dangerous. Messages like this were used to steal personal information....." in a big red box with the email? I've been on Patreon for more than 10 years, subbed to loads of stuff and I've never seen this before.
Yes, same on mine. I checked other Patreon emails today including other reactors but the PiB was the only one as you described
As for RObert Duvall tribute for his death, I'd suggest watch the 6th Day with Schwarzenegger.. Underrated movie
Next month has FRiday the 13th in it so I suggest you watch Friday the 13th With Kat. No need for poll votes or popcorn pan of whose name gets to remain in it. Just watch it by default with Kat.Pretty please?? Again, if there's a Friday the 13th date on every month, watch all friday the 13th sequels with Kat on her channel.
Rene's suggestions usually terrify me to my very soul, but I think he may be on to something here. I did, however, check out after the questions marks.
In regard to the Robert Duvall tribute poll, the Gene Hackman one produced one film where Gene was the star and one where he was a supporting actor with limited but notable screen time. To honour this precedent, I recommend Bullitt for the supporting role and whatever you guys think for the main feature.
Nice try bro, but Duval just had a short cameo role in Bullitt, onscreen for what like 1 minute.
Lots of stuff to look forward to here! R.I.P. Robert Duvall. What a great actor. Personally, I'd choose the Apostle over the Judge, but that's just my humble opinion. Looking forward to Logan's Run, it's a bit weird but, really makes you think and that's the best kind of sci-fi.
I would also choose The Apostle over The Judge. Plus, Duvall wrote The Apostle, directed The Apostle, starred as the lead character in The Apostle, and was nominated for Best Actor Oscar for his performance in The Apostle. That is some significance with respect to Robert Duvall and thus surely will be included in the poll (if there is a Duvall poll) -- but likely won't win -- sadly I can see Falling Down and others beating it.
The Great Santini is my favorite Robert Duvall performance
It is an amazing performance, though I'm not sure she would like the movie - he was tough on the family. One of the reasons I didn't want her to watch GoT is that it makes the remaining available slots so much more 'precious' that it makes it even harder to get in movies like this one.
One of my favorite Robert Duvall acting roles was Gus in Lonesome Dove, it's a mini-series western... It was so good... RIP, were losing all the GOAT's 😢
This is without question the thing to watch
Lonesome Dove was a seminal television event and its success had a huge impact on the industry and on Duvall’s career. While I think 1883 was even better, between the two she HAS to watch Lonesome Dove first.
Logan's Run should make for an interesting reaction.
Turns 50 in June. Must've made a pretty big impact. Still hear it brought up quite a bit in regards to sci-fi/utopian/dystopian. But I know it's kind of famous for being the last of its kind before Star Wars came and blew the doors off the genre.
Suggested Robert Duvall movies for poll: 1. Tender Mercies (1983) (drama). Robert Duvall won Best Actor Oscar. 2. M*A*S*H (1970) (Comedy/War) (w/Donald Sutherland) [AFI Top 100]. 3. The Apostle (1998) [Duvall wrote, directed, stars as lead. Nom Best Actor Oscar] 4. Crazy Heart (2009) (romance/drama) (w/Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Colin Farrel). Duvall plays his supporting character role (a good guy) perfectly. 5. Network (1976) [AFI Top 100]. Duvall nom Best Supporting Actor Oscar. 6. The Paper (1994) (comedy/drama) (w/Michael Keaton, Marisa Tomei, etc.) 7. Colors (1988) (Robert Duvall and Sean Penn = the 2 leads) [gritty police drama] 8. Get Low (2010) (comedy/drama) (3 leads = Duvall, Bill Murray, Sissy Spacek) 9. Rambling Rose (1991) (drama) (w/Laura Dern) 10. Falling Down (1993) (w/Michael Douglas)
Network might be perfect for the channel. Fascinating film. And prescient. Been so long since I've seen it. Had totally forgot he was in it.
PAUL should be recorded and one of your 'emergency coverage' reactions. I've recommended before to do a back log of 4-6 reactions that you can have ready to go as substitutes in case of emergency. Could be weather related emergency (blizzard, flood, etc) housing related emergency (plumbing, internet, electrical etc), family emergency (sickness, graduation, unanticipated visit etc), or mental health break / spontaneous time-off or vacation. Basically anything unexpected with you or your editor can be covered by an emergency back up reaction that you have loaded up on YT that you can make live with just your phone. Ashleigh Burton has had multiple problems recently with her house power due to an ice storm and downed internet, so that's an example of where having some emergency releases could come in handy. So I recommend doing PAUL and these other ones that have been promised or YT poll winners. Maybe YT polls or Live show DVD unboxings polls could automatically be put in the emergency stock. Or you could add 2nd place finishers in regular polls to serve as emergency releases.
Cassie has never banked reactions, because everything she watches gets posted to Youtube within 1-2 weeks. Maybe a Patreon exclusive like a PAF film could be edited with short notice and posted.
FALLING DOWN (1993) to commemorate Robert Duvall and balance all these chick flicks
Man I just assumed she'd seen this already for some reason, definitely a must over any other movie he's in
Looking forward to Logan's Run and The Birdcage, but most excited for the runner ups, The Day the Earth Stood Still and Awakenings. Glad Moonstruck is coming up too! Please tell me Carly is watching it with you. RIP Robert Duvall. I'll always remember him for Lonesome Dove, but the film that he dominated in the best possible way was The Great Santini. An iconic scene is parodied in Austin Powers. (iykyk)
Huh. I've never actually seen Logan's Run. A gap in my scifi exposure, so I'm happy to watch it with you. I love Moonstruck, though it's been a long while since I've seen it. And I am over the moon that you're doing A Philadelphia Story. That's one of my personal Top 5 films that I want PIB to do a reaction to, so since it's my birthday this month, I'll choose to see that as your gift to me :)
It is a nice sci-fi flick, but to be honest, for the 13-year-old boy I was when I saw it for the first time, the sight of Jenny Agutter alone carried the whole movie ;-)
Greetings, Cassie. Never forget. The North remembers! ;-) Fine, got to find a copy of Logan’s Run somewhere. Still a little bit miffed that Forbidden Planet did rather poorly in the poll. Don’t get me wrong. Logan’s Run is nice, and the idea behind it is intriguing, but Forbidden Planet is real sci-fi film history, at least in my book. And concerning Robert Duvall, RIP. A maybe not-so-well-known but very nice little film would be Secondhand Lions (2003). Maybe a possible entry for an upcoming Duvall poll?
Forbidden Planet is a superb movie, I hope Cassie (with Carly) watches it at some point.
I love Brienne of Tarth as a character. Back in the day, I never had a bad time at a comedy show. Now can be hit and miss. Austin has good comedy clubs -- a relatively short drive from Houston where i live. Glad you had a fun date night. A stretch of good content: Moonstruck, GoT (the best reactions), The Day the Earth Stood Still, Oblivion, Philadelphia Story, Awakenings. Looking forward to the Live this Saturday, March Madness, and the Poppies.
Season 6!!! Wooo!!!
Aww dang, I was like three percent sure your favorite Robert Duvall film would be Apocalypse Now. Looking forward to Moonstruck finally happening. I think you will enjoy vintage Cher. She does have a pretty special charm. You're probably too young to remember how famous she was at one point. There's some fun clips of her singing with MJ and the Jackson Five on her variety show. Happy Love Month!
She needs to see Lonesome Dove, but I want her to watch Secondhand Lions. I’ll need to check if she’s seen To Kill a Mockingbird.
I’d be happy if you did a March Madness style tournament for every sports play-off throughout the year . Why just have one?
I forget what won last year.
I wonder if Cassie will recognize the iconic Farrah Fawcett when she sees her in Logan's Run. Or if she even knows who she is. She still has the best selling poster of all-time. I had one myself.
Love the smell of Napalm in the Morning RIP Robert Duvall
Dear Cassie Carly and The Popcorn Family as well as Cassie viewing public. Our Valentine's Day weekend was very movie centered. We saw Crime 101 on Friday. Thor, The Hulk and Halle Berry in a Crime Thriller... Yes please. Saturday we saw Wuthering Heights which I learned was a remake of a 1992 movie which she owns. However this one had Margot Robbie in a steamy, passionate movie. About Last Week: We fell asleep watching Cassie reaction to Escape from New York. We didn't watch the movie though. We did get to Mystery Alaska but that's it. She says she is ready for Good Will Hunting Looks like Cassie didn't take our advice on GOT Well he do have free will. Just don't look at the titles for the show for season 6. Oh and don't go looking for Game Of Thrones shows that are currently in development on IMDB either. Warnings and Spoilers in there. Actually season 6 and 7 are the best seasons. I have a line from season 7 tattooed across my back. The Week Ahead: Moonstruck is awesome according to her ( gf) I don't remember it. Philadelphia Story is much better but Cher and Nicholas Cage were "delightful" in Moonstruck yes we own it. ( Romcoms help her with her PTSD thats why own every single one that was even remotely good. She told me that Season 6 and 7 of GOT helped her PTSD as well) I did my research on Logan's Run I went to my sources on this my brothers who grew up in the 70's and both loved Sci-fi. The both praised Logan's Run. However they told me it's not for us. That we are better off sticking to the Olympics, and watching hockey. Ok then.... Song Of The Week I am still thinking about Wuthering Heights love and romance so Love Story from Taylor Swift actually comes to mind. https://youtu.be/lEMeFbxUZks?si=hykou6k6HVkf9CLj For those of you who don't like Taylor Swift here is Chris Cornell with Sunflower https://youtu.be/5RtJYZ8SErU?si=R4KcyDWDMsO0hOjv
The 1939 version of Wuthering Heights is the most popular one and has the most accolades
Looking forward to the Poppies & March Madness, lots of fun coming at us. All I had to hear was that you'll watch The Day The Earth Stood Still, and that made my day. The Birdcage will be great as well. See you on Saturday, Cassie!
Glad valentines was nice. Same here, pretty chill. R.I.P Mr. Duvall. One of the first things I thought was "Aww, cassie really liked him." As did I. Lived a good life, 95 yrs young. Moonstruck should be interesting. Nick cage always is lol, for better or worse. Looking forward to the YT live and the craziness of march to come 👍
I seriously look forward to March movie madness....is that madness.....some may say
I think Cassie and Carly would love Nick Cage in Peggy Sue Got Married. If they watch bring the tissues.
I have nostalgia for Peggy Sue Got Married. Kathleen Turner is the highlight for me. Cage is good.
One that would never win any poll that I'd kill to see Cassie and Carly react to is 'The Remains of the Day' no dry eyes at the end of that story. And they'd get to see Christopher Reeve flexing real acting skills like he had with Superman.
Your right. It would never win any kind of poll, but I would love to see Cassie react to it. Maybe after Sense and Sensibility, Cassie will have more interest in seeing Emma Thompson movies.
Looking forward to The Birdcage and maybe Paul.
Watch out Cassie. Snow and 60+ MPH winds are hitting Utah tomorrow. Tie everything down.
RIP to my fellow San Diegian native.
Gonna need a Robert Duvall poll!
Oh man, Robert Duvall... didn't expect a PIB upcoming post to break that news to me. I hadn't seen it posted on any other news where I am this morning. "The Judge" is one of his later roles and would be a fine choice as he is great in it (which is pretty much standard for him). Catherine O'Hara and James Van Der Beek were some others in just the last couple of weeks, and the latter was sad due to his age. I had been thinking of one of the many great Christopher Guest films for Catherine, and "Varsity Blues" for James as these might be suggestions to pay respects to them.
Yay! Philadelphia Story!
She should watch "High Society" (1956) with it
I’m over the Moon(!) that we are getting Moonstruck and (eventually) The Philadelphia Story! Cassie will love love love both films! Good decision to press on with GOT, a most wise decision. I’m sure a tribute watch for the matchless Robert Duvall will transpire. He is a great who will be missed.
Duval, on his favorite part of all time: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThCeDEk4/
Yes, Lonesome Dove was his favorite role. Can’t believe he got the part because Jim Garner had back trouble and couldn’t ride a horse anymore!
A friendly reminder that stannis killed his daughter and Jon snow is dead
Robert Duvall produced and had a supporting role in Crazy Heart staring Jeff Bridges as a country singer past his heyday doing road gigs. It was a low key passion project for both Duvall and Bridges, a character piece without all the big budget high octane of modern flicks. Great movie and a nice little farewell wave for Duvall you could watch.
Agreed 👍
An update on Monday....someone alert the media. 😂
Much preferred on Mondays IMO
The day the Earth stood still the 2008? Not the 1951 version? I get the interest in the classics, but King Kong (2005) or Posidon (2006) form The Posidon Adventure (1972) or ¿? have "modern" vercions that are good.
The 1951 version. Where have you been? Did you vote in the poll?
I remember seeing Robert Duval in a very memorable guest spot in a two episode story in the TV series The Fugitive (season 1).
One more week for Sense and Sensibility!
I haven't seen that one yet. I do love Emma Thompson.
I don’t care about any of these several movies coming up besides Paul and that got a maybe 😆
A maybe is almost a promise....and we know Cassie always keeps her promises...except when she don't. 😧
So glad you are watching Oblivion
Well hello Cassie my Valentine's Day was alright, but my Birthday was the next day and i just bought myself a carrot cake. RIP Robert Duval. He portrayed very likeable characters thru out his career. Also i can't wait for your reaction to Moonstruck i believe its a good one.
Happy Birthday! Love carrot cake. The one from Raley's is pretty elite.
Excited for Mystery, Alaska to come to Youtube. Hopefully that will stir some interest and more reactors will follow suit! If we're talking about Robert Duvall reactions, please don't leave out Falling Down (1993) Heading toward St. Paddy's Day... let's get The Commitments (1991) on the menu, or The Wind that Shakes the Barley (2006).
+1 for The Commitments. Might be hard to edit with all the great music.
“Assassination Tango” 2002, he wrote directed and starred. Duvall actually dances the tango IRL. His wife is also in this.
Logan's Run was filmed primarily here in Dallas Texas.
Is the fountain still working?
WE PRESS ON
For the Watch
Robert Duvall has a very small part in one of my favorite movies "The Road". It's not a favorite for any kind of entertainment value. It's very depressing, bleak, and dreary, but it's poignant and real. It could LITERALLY happen. It's the most realistic vision of a post apocalyptic world I've ever seen. Robert Duvall improvised his lines in it. It probably won't win any post-apoc polls. LOL
+1 for The Road. Aragorn is lead.
Falling Down (1993) with Michael Douglas and Jack Reacher (2012) with Tom Cruise lead the list for Robert Duval movies to choose from.
On Robert Duvall... I was thinking that DEEP IMPACT was a good one for him, in which he portrayed one of the first generation of astronauts and the Lazarus mission commander/chief pilot. There's an excellent scene where he has a conversation with the Lazarus crew, telling them in the only way he can as an astronaut about how space travel was for his generation and how they need that perspective when they go up there.
She’s already watched Deep Impact. It’s on the channel.
Never seen Moonstruck. Looking forward to finally seeing it. My favorite Cher movie I've seen is Mask which is a true story. Silkwood is good as well.
Sucks Robert Duvall died. At least he lived a long life
Logan's Run is going to be so much fun! Well, for me anyway ;-) Can't wait!!!
You're channelling the fierce loyalty and bravery of Ser Brienne of Tarth when you should be just as capable of channelling the ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness of the Stormtrooper commander Captain Phasma (also portrayed by the phenomenal, larger than life Gwendolyn Christie). My point is, we each have light and darkness inside us, and we have to acknowledge and accept it and be able to use both. Let the dark serve the light.
But not everyone's dark side and light side are the same as everyone else's. I think Cassie's dark side is lighter than some other people's light side. Some people are just lighter than other people the same as some people are just darker than other people. Cassie's dark wouldn't scare me like Stephen Kings would. Everyone is different.
I would recommend a few more films for Cassie to watch, but it looks like she's got all her slots booked until April! In case she's forgotten in all the excitement, I need to remind her that she promised me a Newman/McQueen poll.
She probably has answered this already but did Cassie already see Mission Impossible 8? I've been waiting for that one
The girls still haven’t watched it yet. It is a planned reaction though.
Such a busy lady! Think about Second Hand Lions for an under-rated Robert Duvall film. Robert, Michael Caine, Haley Joel Osment, Kyra Sedgwick and fun supporting characters in a coming-of-age film with tales almost too good to be true.
So sad to hear about Robert Duvall, one of the more underrated actors of his time, despite the Oscar win and almost ubiquitous screen presence from the 1970s to the early 2000s. Never heard anyone in the business say a bad thing about him, either. Won the Oscar for TENDER MERCIES, but among his very best work was a TV miniseries with Tommy Lee Jones and Diane Lane called LONESOME DOVE, which was iconic and still holds up. God bless and fare well, good sir. What a life. Also: Moooooooonstruck! You will love! Young Nicolas Cage, Cher showing a moment where she actually embraced (and excelled at!) acting, and fantastic turns by Vincent Gardenia, Olympia Dukakis, and Danny Aiello.
Duvall had so many memorable lines in Lonesome Dove: “Not much of a crime, whacking a surly bartender” 😂
It’s been a while since you’ve done a foreign film reaction. Just throwing out two Hindi language films that you would love: Taare Zameen Par (Thar-ray, Zah-meen, Pur) & Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Buj-Ron -gee, Bye-John). Hope you get to react to these one day. Also hope the phonetics help 😊
I would love to see Cassie react to Falling Down (1994), in tribute to Robert Duvall!
Was thinking that.
GoT Season 6! Yes! Cassie is a lot like Beric Dondarrion. You can run her through as many times as you like but she keeps coming back to life. What a resilient Rocky doll she's become. Besides, I don't want her to miss the scene where the king and his men arrive at the castle and the French soldiers throw farm animals at them. "Go away, you wiper of other people's bottoms, or I shall taunt you a second time!"
Clarence - they did something like that on GoT, it’s called season 8
RIP Robert Duvall. Loved him in Open Range and that's one of my favorite reactions on the channel. Looking forward to the live and Season 6 GOT reaction, my personal favorite season.
Ditto
MOONSTRUCK FINALLY! Also it will be my first time seeing The Philadelphia Story whenever that turns up, I imagine next week. Also looking forward to Day the Earth Stood Still, Oblivion, and Awakenings. Can't say I think you will like Paul very much, but I've been wrong before. Some Robert Duvall movies I'd like to see on the channel: • Bullitt (1968) -- okay, he's only got a small role in this, but hey, any excuse! • THX-1138 (1971) -- a sci-fi movie that George Lucas directed before Star Wars; would make for a good counterpart to Logan's Run from this week • Conversation, The (1974) -- he only has a small role in this, but this is one of my favorite conspiracy thrillers, and one they paid homage to in Enemy of the State • Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) -- this is even more of a cheat than Bullitt as Duvall is in this for all of ten seconds, but another one I'd still love to see just the same! • Civil Action, A (1998) -- courtroom drama • Jack Reacher (2012) -- a reteaming with Tom Cruise after Days of Thunder I would also be excited if you watched several others I haven't seen before but have heard good things about.
I wish THX-1138 were more well known. I always have fun showing folks one scene in particular and saying 'this movie was made in 1971' and watching the confusion.
If you like Robert Duvall‘s westerns, the Lonesome Dove TV miniseries is excellent, and maybe Duvall‘s finest work. (I think he even said it was his favorite role). And no spoilers, but I think Season 6 is the best season for GoT.

I'm very sorry to hear about whomever you lost Cassie. I've been pretty busy lately and going through a bit of a winter depression spiral with all the extreme cold we've had this winter (-25° wind chills this winter in Michigan) But it's 55° today and the sun is shinning 😊 I had a nice Valentines Day with my boyfriend (Travis)I've gotten 3 bouquets of flowers this week🥰Sunday however was not so much fun. I can't believe Robert Duvall passed😢 I hadn't heard yet, so sad. Secondhand Lions is such an amazing movie that you could watch with Carly. A wonderful way to remember him. I highly recommend it. Oblivion is one of my favorite Tom Cruise movies, especially his more recent ones. I'm looking forward to it. I sent you some packages, it will be close on if they'll get there on time. Looking forward to the lives and more warm weather. Hope you guys are doing ok with everything going on
She lost a fictional character that seemed very real to her😉
So happy you’re still continuing with GOT. I know how hard it’s been but everything pays off in the end. In the words of Ygritte “You know nothing Cassie.”
Nothing I really wanna watch the next two weeks, but I'm very happy to hear that Awakenings will get a reaction, you'll like it. RIP to Robert Duvall. Still some good ones left. Network (1976), Falling Down (1993) and The Paper (1994) would be my picks. I'd throw The Conversation (1974) in there but he has a very small part in it.
RE The YT Live: What time will it start on Saturday, Cassie ?
An early Upcoming post. Nice. Looking forward to Moonstruck, though don't really remember it. Looking forward to GoT. I felt for you with the tough episodes last week.
In light of Robert Duvall’s extraordinary career and life, I would like to be a +plus one for SECONDHAND LIONS. Fantastic story (please invite Carly if this wins anything). Looks like it’s going to be another great PIB week!
Robert Duvall’s greatest role, in this humble Texan’s opinion, was in LONESOME DOVE. Such a great miniseries (4 eps, about six hours total)
Cassie, you can react to Lonesome Dove in honor of Robert Duvall. It also stars Tommy Lee Jones and Danny Glover. One of the greatest westerns ever.
Season 6, GOT. Never had a doubt. You're doing great with it, btw. 😊
Second Hand Lions was so good. And I was blown away by the BTS of Oblivion.
Great couple of weeks coming up!
MOONSTRUCK!
I live near Lincoln Center and I always think of this movie when I walk by the Opera house!
At long last...Moonstruck. You'll love it
Kind of surprised it hasn't happened already.
Question: Will the movies for March Madness be taken from the old version of Popcorn Requests, or the new version. I wouldn’t be mad if they came from the new one.
new one needs a tidy though couple of films she's seen already still on the list.
RIP Robert Duvall. He made many fantastic movies but he had some memorable roles on TV especially in the Twilight Zone and The Fugitive in the 1960s, and of course Lonesome Dove the miniseries which I think you would love Cassie it's another great western with him in it.
That episode of The Twilight Zone miniature is one of my favorites! Cassie you should consider doing a limited number of The Twilight Zone episodes like you did with Star Trek TOS, it was an amazing, thought provoking series.
In honor of the passing of one of the all-time great actors, here’s some suggestions for a Robert Duvall poll. To be clear, I think Cassie should watch all of these but understand that’s not in the cards. *MASH (1970) - Robert Altman anti-war classic *The Outfit (1973) - excellent adaptation of the second Parker novel *Killer Elite (1975) - Duvall re-teams with James Caan as rival mercenaries *The Eagle Has Landed (1976) - Duvall, Michael Caine and Donald Sutherland in a classic war thriller *Colors (1988) - Duvall and Sean Penn fight street crime *Lonesome Dove (1989) - Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones in one of the all-time great westerns; Cassie wanted to fall in love with a new western and this definitely fits the bill *Falling Down (1993) - Duvall and Michael Douglas in a story about a guy that’s having a bad day
oh i have heard so many good things about lonesome dove and the description for falling down in very intriguing ha
Lots of good things coming up and glad you continuing with GoT straight away and not having a break. I'll have to watch the live another day but i'll be about for the extra butter atleast Perhaps a Duvall Poll?
I will Robert Duvall greatly but rejoice that he got to share himself with us for so many decades. Rest In Peace Gus.
“Come morning, noon or night, I won’t ever forget you” 😭
So happy GoT continues, maybe too happy...
Please watch Breakdown & Mission Impossible 8 with Carly.
BREAKDOWN (1997?) with Kurt Russell is such an excellent thriller! It’s one of those movies that sticks with you , even after seeing it many years ago. It will change the way you think about safety whenever you go on a road trip.
Snap out of it! (IYKYK)
Wow! Someone is on top of it!
🤓🤓
Moonstruck and Logan's Run sounds like a fun week! I think Carly would love Moonstruck too.
Cool Runnings
Moonstruck is one of few movies where I can tolerate Nicholas Cage.
It Could Happen to You, and The Family Man are my two most tolerable Nic Cage movies.
RIP Robert Duvall 🫡
Wow, dies at 95. A great actor. R.I.P.
Please watch Hope Floats with Carly Southpaw F1 with Carly
Yay! Can’t wait for S6 GoT, and Bullet Train next week! 🙌🙌
Wow. Logan’s Run won a poll? Huh. Interesting.
It was close. Won by 4 votes. Tight.
La La Land….please 🙏🏼
She's seen it
Brilliant. The sixth season is amazing.
Cassie keeping the GOT train going, choo choo!
Moonstruck and GOT! Anybody here from the Patreon fam listen to Cher? Oh and R.I.P Rober Duvall...the old Consigliere passed away yesterday. 🙏
I listen to Cher, Edgar, but only when I get around to her folder in my A to Z run-through. She did some good stuff.
