Upcoming...
Heyyyy-oooo!
How is everyone this week-How about that hockey game eh? I was sad and happy at the same time. It is one of my kiddos birthday today-Its so fun to celebrate him but I can also barley keep my eyes open haha-I stayed up way too late doing balloons and a making and hiding clues for a scavenger hunt and wrapping presents and all the birthday things. Worth it!
Thank you to all those who came and hung out on our YT LIVE! It was so fun-I'm currently whispering sweet nothings to my dragon eggs and eating cadburyu mini eggs from the haul! Ther was a Robert Duvall Poll LIVE on there-Our winner was Falling Down-but it was so close to Secondhand Lions, and you know I love a silver medalist so I'll probably watch both! We also did a poll from the new website kk and our winners were-13 Warriors and Dirty Harry-which means Harry moves up to sooner than later!
This week on Patreon we have 4 uploads (next week will be two fyi) With perfect sense, we realized that boarding the last train with a gilded birdcage was a dangerous game no one else even knew we were playing. I don't know guys-scavenger hunt clues are still fresh on my mind!
On YT it will be Logan’s Run, and season finale of season 5 for GOT.
I want to do a new poll, but have a big list of IOU’s I need to put a debt in first!
Only 2 more days to get your February Pick a Flick in!! Eeee!! My fav!
I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week-I’m heading to AZ with my mom for her retirement (although she keeps still picking up shifts) Can’t wait for sunshine!
Love you like a Stark!

HAHAHAH that last GOT reaction, I really heard THE HARD WHAT THE FUCK!!!! with the letter U. Not Frick or Frack, bUT FUCK. I was a cackling like a sadist there.. Anyway, if I wanna hear more Cassie cursing f words, let's try another horror collab with KatWatcheshorror with TErrifier. Surely., she can curse alot on that one. Since the movie is pure gore stuff. lol
Rene - I admire your persistence, but I think the chances of Cassie watching The Exorcist are slightly better than her watching Terrifier.
Hope you all are doing well. Happy birthday to your son. Enjoy the time with your mom for her retirement. Look forward to watching the movies with you guys
A bunch of movies (65, approximately) I upvoted on the new Requests don’t show up on the leaderboard, but are still on my personal upvotes. What’s up with that? Before anyone says “let Ben know on the Beta” I already did. I just want to see if anyone else has noticed this.
This has been fixed. Thanks to Ben and anyone else involved.
🥱
Is the "Love Month" movie going to premiere during love month? This is agony I feel most ardently. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one reaction from PiB will silence me on this subject forever.
No reaction drop yet, alas. I am half agony, half nope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious reactions are gone forever.
After one day, Logan's Run is trouncing Moonstruck on YT, lol. Moonstruck and TAoJJ are two of the worst performers in quite awhile. Good movies, just nobody wants to watch them.
Nothing seems to do as well as it used to. But you’re right, these movies are really tanking
You're gonna love Birdcage, Carly should also see it
Now Cassie has watched ‘Bullet Train’, she really, really, really needs to watch the original version - Bullitt! There are no trains involved, but it contains the granddaddy of all car chases, Steve McQueen, Jacqueline Bisset, Robert Duvall and Jacqueline Bisset. Also, Jacqueline Bisset.
She seems to really hate 60's movies, Lol. Older movies in general I would say are not her cup of tea. Sad really, because there's so many great 60s & 70s films.
Yay!! So many great films in the lineup. I’m very much looking forward to Sense and Sensibility, as well as The Birdcage. 🤗
I have some thoughts on how the new Popcorn Requests should be used for March Madness and for polls in general going forward. Considering how priorities count more than upvotes, but also having enough upvotes overrides personal priorities, and finally how far down the list a film is depends initially on the date it's upvoted (non priority films only), a films place on the list (number-wise) is highly subjective as to the films actual popularity. Especially films newly added as upvotes since they understandably start at the bottom the list with 1 upvote, but unless people are willing to go to the bottom of the list on a regular basis (which experience tells me they are not) or they just happen to want to upvote a film with 1 upvote, the films at bottom of the list tend to remain there, popular or not. And even if they get 1 upvote that still leaves them far down the list with 2 upvotes. The only fair and equitable solution would be to include ALL films with 1 or more upvotes in the selection process for both March Madness and any random polls. Any other method of selection would be implicitly biased against recent upvote additions to the list.
I, for one, do not have the attention span to go all the way to the bottom. There are 70-odd pages you know!
I'm certain Cassie (and Carly) will love "Secondhand Lions," so I'm looking forward to that!
My wife tells me Sense and Sensibility is one of the great films of all time. I believe her attitude may be a little bit female. Bullet Train's a fun watch. I tend to like most Brad Pitt films. Never seen The Birdcage, but Robin Williams makes every film fun (except One Hour Photo, of course). The fact that Cassie's watching these three films is a definite sign that her next PPoTM should be Thelma & Louise. "Sense" is about two women, Brad Pitt is in Bullet Train and the road trip in Thelma & Louise would never have happened if Geena Davis's character hadn't felt like she was living in a Birdcage. It's in the stars, Cassie! As for GoT, it's great to see her fully re-engaged. Season 6 sure is a ride.
Her attitude “may be a little bit female”? Are you a ferengi lol? (I tease, of course). She’s not wrong—Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, and Alan Rickman are fantastic in it. The screenwriting and music are *chef’s kiss*
I don't care for romance movies but Logan'[s Run is interesting. Bullet train was pure meh
Submitted my first ever Pick a Flick movie! Fingers crossed for the win! :D
I’ve been wanting for both you Cassie and Cinebinge to watch the 13th Warrior, it’s from a novel but haven’t read it yet but I’m glad you are reacting to it. Glad you had fun and planning that special day for son.
If this helps move up the reaction date, I'll add that the novel is by multi-bestselling author Michael Crichton, several of whose novels became successful movies: Jurassic Park The Lost World The Andromeda Strain Congo Westworld Timeline (This is not meant to specifically recommend the 13th Warrior novel, whose misleading name I will not mention.)
I'm ready for Sense & Sensibility! NOW! Straight into my veins! I'm ready for hemming and hawing and misunderstandings and pianofortes! I'm about to take a turn about the room. I need help.
Do not fret, dearest. Let us take a turn about the room together!
The crappy new website won't let me sign in with my Patreon Username, and won't let me make a selection for the Pick-A-Flick. I how you can fix this before the Pick-A-Flick sign-up closes.

Dear Cassie+Family and members of the PIB viewing public, So we saw a special press screening of Scream 7 (2026) my gf's brother in law works for some IC newspaper and we got the tickets just like we got tickets for The Bride (2026) After the movie we were told that Scream 8 had already been confirmed. This was supposed to be the last! Unless the plan on bringing back Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega. Then I whole heartly approve. Food update: My gf tried the A&W with no sugar. Which Cassie tried. My gf said it left a bad after taste and made her stomach upset. It's all the Vegan and Raw food she eats and then adding liquid candy. About Last Week: We loved GOT reaction. We didn't watch Logan's Run, I did fall asleep to Cassie watching it though. So she got the view and I didn't have to watch a movie I had never heard of before and was told not to watch because I wouldn't like it. We watched Moonstruck which she loved but said Philadelphia Story (1940) is so much better. Old fashioned romance. Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart. The Week Ahead: 3 movies + Game Of Thrones. Yeah we own Sense and Sensibility. The Birdcage is on my old hard drive but we own it. Bullet Train we both watched and both liked it. Instead of a song which I picked GOT inspired Scar Tissue by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Recently my gf and I came across a YT channel that is simply adorable this little girl has a almost magical bond with these horses. Here is the site https://youtube.com/@swimmer2winner?si=5FDOIP1TXjvZiN3S Here is a collection of some of the best moments: https://youtu.be/C1kPyHqEmIo?si=RazAdQp6nlz67ZX4 I bid you good day!
+1 for Scar Tissue. That song has additional significance to me in that my first cousin (considerably younger than me -- more like a nephew) who I was close with loved that song. I think about that when I think about him -- he was killed in a car accident at 18 on the way to the prom. I not meaning to be a debbie downer.
You should watch the original French film The Bird Cage. The American one is a remake
the birdcage is one of my favorites!! yayyy
magical movie called harry potter and the philosopher's stone all about wizard's fantastic made this film
Happy birthday to your son! Usually just hear the kids offscreen but they seem very sweet and polite, with a lot of patience for you while you're working. Very cute. Lots of diversity this past couple weeks on the channel. I may finally have to see Sense and Sensibility. Big Emma Thompson fan, but have yet to see that one. Happy Almost Spring!
Emma Thompson is awesome. Not just her acting, which is top draw, but just Emma as a personality! Mad as a Box of Frogs! In the best way. I would just want to hang out with Emma, she has a contagious personality. If you haven’t seen it, check her out on The Graham Norton Show with Hugh Laurie and Robert Downy Jr. fun Episode, I’m sure it’s on YT somewhere.
It was a great hockey game. Looks to be a good week except I am not sure about the first one. Sounds like an old chick flick story. I have heard of it but never read it. Be careful in Arizona. That's where the 84 year old lady went missing.
I’m looking forward to Birdcage - it’s been a very long time and I remember it being really good. Got of course. I couldn’t get through Bullet Train - it really didn’t click with me. S&S…meh.
I saw Bullet Train in the theatre so I didn’t have the option. It is possible I would have lost interest if I’d watched it at home.
I've been waiting for someone to react to Sense and Sensibility! Easiest prediction ever: you will both love it!
Birdcage is great. Please don’t forget about Lonesome Dove forever. It’s so good!
The captions under the Pick-A-Flick Winner and Robin Williams Poll Winner movies are flipped, but whatever. I'm just looking forward to Cassie's "Bullet Train" reaction. Enjoy!
Just a bit of fun everyone! With the World Cup this Summer and March Maddness round the corner.

C'mon Scotland and New Zealand!
The Birdcage will be fun. Hilarious movie, and just could become one of Cassie's biggest laughers ever. "How about those Dolphins?!" Very glad that both you and Carly will see Sense & Sensibility. It's one of the movies I originally picked for Carly's Romantic List. 😉
IOU’s… Interstellar Children of men The day the earth stood still Oblivion Philadelphia story Awakenings Paul? Dirty Harry Falling Down Secondhand lions That’s alot! Especially as it’s 2 slots a week. I think that works out at 5 weeks worth and that’s without Feb’s PaF. I’m not complaining! Just saying that’s going to take sometime to get through. Please say if I have missed anything?
You forgot "Earth Girls are Easy"....the excitement is palpable.😉 😆
Hi Cassie, I’ve not seen Birdcage or Bullet train. Sense and Sensibility, can’t believe you haven’t seen it. It’s Soooooo a Cassie movie, Jane Austin story and a Stacked Cast. GoT is gripping right now! Just can’t wait for more! Fingers crossed for PaF 🫰come on “Touching the Void” although looking through the entries so far, there are a lot of great movies in there. Have a lovely break with your mom. You are the best ❤️
Bullet Train is great, and was the movie that convinced me that Aaron Taylor-Johnson *can* act, and also that he could probably play a pretty good version of James Bond.
I don't think his looks (or his voice especially) are rugged enough for Bond. 🤷♂️
It's hard to imagine that the rom-cominated sisters haven't seen Sense and Sensibility. Almost every woman I know has seen it more than once (but I'm old and so are those women).
I can't wait to see the Robin Williams version of Bullet Train!
They cloning him now, shouldn’t be too much longer.
Nnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice week...
Great lineup this week, but I am especially excited for Cassie to watch The Birdcage. I'm predicting she's going to love it to bits.
I hope Carly can be there for SECONDHAND LIONS. Just like “Open Range”, this is a movie that check all boxes for the dynamic duo.
I think Bullet Train is quite enjoyable, Falling Down is excellent, and The 13th Warrior is one of the very few movies it is acceptable to call "underrated." Factor in the other movies, and I am a very happy camper.
Excuse me, but WTF is Bullet Train? And what does it have to do with Robin Williams?
Bullet Train is a popular Fing movie. And is it that Fing difficult to realize that the two middle movie posters were switched?
Really hope you ladies celebrate in style and your mom being a nurse reminded me to say that I hope the pib household has finally recovered from what seemed like their ever recurring colds and viruses. A healthy family is a happy family ❤️
There seems to be something for everyone to watch in the next few days. Personally, I don’t know if I have enough sense or sensibility to do the full watch-along of that one, but The Birdcage will be a fun rewatch. I haven’t watched Bullet Train yet, so I’m really looking forward to that. Have fun in AZ!
CHILDREN OF MEN Looking forward to "Children of Men" (2006) as your PPOTM. Might satisfy your 2026 goal of having a PPOTM that exceeds 100k YT views. "Children of Men" (2006) --No. 2 at 'Requests' on the new PiB website. --No. 3 at the old popcorn requests. *Children of Men (2006) narrowing the gap w/Your Name for 1st at new Requests.
Clay - I’m starting to think you like this Children of Men movie.
I sure wish Carly was in on the Philadelphia Story watch with Cassie. It would be Carly's third Cary Grant, second James Stewart, and first Katherine Hepburn. I do look forward to the Sense and Sensibility watch more since it is with Carly!
Not sure about Robin Williams being in Bullet Train but that movie is a lot of fun. Lol
It's a shame it took Robert Duvall passing away to get Michael Douglas' best movie onto the channel. Hope it doesn't take Tommy Lee Jones passing away to get us to Lonesome Dove.
I prefer "The China Syndrome" myself... though he's only the #3 character in that one.
And the "barley" clue is because Cassie and Carly are going to have haggis during their watch-along? A dinner theater type of vibe? Is that all the clues deciphered now?
I knew you would like the reunion in S6E4. Loving GoT. You recovered nicely from your despair (for the most part). Looking forward to Andor after GoT.
So many errors on the update thumbnails...kind of ridiculous really.😂
Do you ever do anything other than criticize?
What's up with the GOT S6 E5&6 sticker below the Logan's Run poster? Mistake, or are we getting 2 Patreon GOT uploads this week? There is a mistake in the other sticker, it says S6 E9&10 instead of S5 E9&10.
Logan's Run and GOT S5 E9&10 are Youtube cut releases. Edit: Ok, I see what your are talking about now. I think a editing mistake.
Robin Williams in Bullet Train? Who knew.
RE Sense and Sensibility (1995), it was made just a year after Hugh Grant became a star with Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). I really recommend another brilliant film he did with Emma Thompson; The Remains of the Day (1993), Hugh Grant has stated that this is the very best film he has ever acted in!
That movie was OK but I prefer sense and sensibility and am very excited to see that one done. Woo hoo!
Happy birthday to your son.!! Today is my grandson’s birthday too. I hope you will watch secondhand lions. I think it’s definitely a Cassie movie.
Happy birthday to your grandson!!! I hope he has the best day!
One IMPORTANT thing about the Velvetiser though: NEVER wash it in a sink of hot water nor in the dishwasher. That would completely ruin it if you ever do that. Treat it like it is a kettle!
It was nice that someone sent you a Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser, Cassie! Once you try one of the hot/cold chocolate, you'll never want to go back to any other lesser hot chocolate again! They are the best of the best! I'll send you a box of Velvetiser sachets with the Mini Eggs!
You would absolutely love Secondhand Lions. Like, I feel like you would adore it lol.
Trying to pick a movie for PAF is harder than I ever imagined it would be
I always start with ‘what movie do I really want to see that has the least chance of ever getting a reaction’ and go from there.
RE Sense and Sensibility (1995) Emma Thompson kept a production journal during the making of the film. It's an interesting read. I remember one entry where she states "I had a day off today but the producer says 'I think you should be there as the screenwriter...' 'F*** off, is my reply!'"
"Thank you to all those who came and hung out on our YT LIVE! It was so fun-I'm currently whispering sweet nothings to my dragon eggs and eating cadburyu mini eggs from the haul!" I really enjoyed the YT Live, Cassie! I will definitely send you some more Cadbury Mini Egg Orange! Happy Birthday to your son!!
Looks like a good week of reactions to me, Bullet Train is pretty fun it even has some half decent Brit accent attempts 😉. Quite the backlog of movies to watch now.
Very much looking forward to "Falling Down" and "The Birdcage".
This will be a skip week for me - at least as far as Patreon uploads are concerned.
Same here except for Bullet Train. I thought it was a good popcorn flick.
ah, my favorite robin williams movie. bullet train 😄
😂
Aww, no Lonesome Dove! Hopefully it will be on another poll.
Or just a popcorn pick of the month. I really believe she’d love it.
Cassie has more catch-up to do in March. "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."
Looking forward to watching Robbie Williams in Bullet Train
Bullet Train is a fun movie. No masterpiece, just a fun popcorn movie. But what I’m really looking forward to is Falling Down and Dirty Harry. I wish Lonesome Dove had won the Robert Duvall poll, though, and surprised it didn’t. And I really appreciate that Cassie’s taking time to fulfill some old promises. Integrity show thru every time.
Surprised Lonesome Dove didn't win over Falling Down? I dont really think it stood a chance
Definitely looking forward to Bullet Train it kinda reminds me of a Guy Richie film. 13 Warrior is a film I’d never thought would get a reaction on here and I seriously can’t wait for that one. Dirty Harry will be interesting to see what you make of it. Birdcage is a movie that’s been on my to watch list for ages so quite looking forward to that. Falling Down however I don’t think really holds up too much as I rewatch it a couple of years ago but like always be interested to see what you make of it. All in all sounds like we have some great films coming up.
Jen Murray apparently didn't like Falling Down.
The Birdcage!
Happy birthday to your little one and I hope you and your mom have a great time in Arizona, glad to hear you're no longer going to Mexico!
Same here when I heard about the troubles in Mexico on the BBC, that was my first thought
Happy birthday to your son! Hope he has a wonderful day! Looks like a nice lineup this week!
Am I crazy or Duvall barely in Falling Down? Haven’t watched it since the 90’s.
Haven't seen it since then either but I remember him being the co-star, kind of like a flip side of the coin to Douglas
Safe journey's to AZ! I know you'll have a blast!
Falling Down will be interesting for this channel. Great movie. Im pretty sure Cassie will love Secondhand Lions.
I saw a bunch of text… hockey… , balloons… Robert Duvall, Falling Down… Yes! Can’t wait
“Honey you’re wasting your gum!”
Speaking of Bullets, I recommend The Fallen trilogy (Gerard Butler & Morgan Freeman)
Let’s just watch the first one (if we have to) then we can talk about sequels (if we have to).
Bullet train!
Some of you don’t know that Robin Williams shows up in Bullet Train like that “ghost child” from Three Men and a Baby, and it shows.
And yes, before you correct me, I know that ghost child was a prop.
Sense and sensibility...never saw the movie but I read the book.
There's a book?!? :-P
"The Birdcage" is Robin Williams masterpiece!! Hahaha 😂🦜🦜
Didn't know Robin Williams was in Bullet Train 😉
Looking forward to Bullet Train.
Oh man, Cassie I s reacting to BULLET TRAIN and THE BIRDCAGE! R.I.P Robin Williams 🙏
