Upcomalala
Hiiiiiii!!! How is everyone doing out there? Hope you’re having a great week! This hump day is sure hump-ing but we’re good! I think it depends on where you live but this week is our teacher appreciation week and I am helping out with my kids classrooms in showering the teachers with gratitude. Give a teacher you know a big hug and a gift card if you want. Good teachers are one of the true blessings we have!
Thank you for all the very kind and supportive comments on the Awakening reaction yesterday. It meant so very much ❤️❤️ I know everyone is going through something, a lot of times invisible to the people around us. I am so thankful for this community that lifts each other up and makes us all feel less alone.
This week we have a fun lineup with Children of Men, Kingdom of Heaven (oh my it’s long!) and Fried Green Tomatoes. GOT season 7 reactions will start up next week!
On YT it will be TDTESS, A Philadelphia Story and GOT S6 E 7&8
Who has been following movie madness?! Do we have our biggest upset yet with #11 Texas (LADYHAWKE) knocking off my #6 BYU (COMMANDO) and then #3 Gonzaga #3 (RED) or was it #9 Iowa (IN BRUGES) knocking off #1 Florida (REAL GENIUS) !! You can see all our SWEET 16 left in the running HERE and bet those sweet and salty butter bucks on the games! so fun!
I am in disbelief that March is almost over 🙀 Make sure to get your pick-a-flick choices in for this month by the 31st.
Ok guys I think that’s it! New Poll coming soon!
Mucho loveo
Cassie

Review New Movie Are the old stories killer whale street fighter not without hope Good Luck For Reviewed New film Before
Sean Connery will always be James Bond, and Christopher Lee will always be Dracula!
top 7 new movies are reminders of him projed hail mary secret screaming this is spinal tap purple rain bohemian rhapsody a star is born send new winner movie's Cassie and Carly's Love this never watching new film before from popcorn in bed
In response to a question I asked Cassie in one of her YT premiere chats, Cassie said she really should watch some horror outside of October. She seems open to the idea. I guess we'll just have to keep reminding her. 😉 My preference would be a 50s & 60s Horror Poll with multiple voting. Night of the Living Dead (68) Island of Terror (66) Day of the Triffids (63) Village of the Damned (60) The Mummy (59) Horror of Dracula (58) The Blob (58) Curse of the Demon (57) Them! (54)
She should just watch Horror of Dracula, then do a poll with the other films at a later date. That’s just my completely unbiased opinion.
Does anyone know if Cassie mentioned if The Philadelphia Story will make it to YouTube this week (by tomorrow)? Being a free member I can't access anything except the updates (and rightly so), thus I wasn't sure if she had mentioned anything about it on the little lives she did on Saturday. Who knows maybe we'll get four uploads next week 🤞🤞
Not likely tomorrow, but sometime this week including the weekend. My wild ass guess The Philadelphia Story YT could be any day from Thu Apr 2 to Tue Apr 7.
Well, unfortunately Night of the Living Dead didn’t make the final four, and I no longer care about March Madness - except I hope US Marshalls gets knocked out, not a particularly good movie, and it’s not only not a horror movie, it’s not even a thriller.
Only remotely interested in "Little Shop of Horrors" -- though I'd hate to bring up the theatrical/director's cut issue again, in light of recent events... 😵💫 #toosoon
We now have our Final Four. 😴😴😴
And I care about none of them.
March Movie Madness Dept: So with UConn's epic defeat of Duke this evening my dream is still alive for Cassie to finally watch Gone With The Wind! Just two more games. (But I really expected Cassie to have to watch The Next Three Days - - but Duke choked again! I love it!)
Amen. Just hope she's willing to watch the final four again just incase. lol Also I hope she'll watch it with Carley, because I believe it will have a impact with both of them just like it did with It's a Wonderful Life. May not be the type of impact we hope. But guarantee it will be one. Other top reactions I've seen of it on youtube either have left the reactors speechless, debating on it for at least ten mins, had them hooked, so to speak. So come on Uconn!
Just curious why so much time between GoT reactions lately? It used to be weekly on the clock but now it's more like week and a half to two weeks each reaction.
"GOT season 7 reactions will start up next week!" - Third paragraph in this update. And from last weeks update- "Taking a one week break on Patreon from GOT then will dive back into season 7 the following week!"
I see someone has Kingdom of Heaven as their Pick-a-flick ….. you know you can still change that, right?
I'm assuming the whole kerfuffle about that film in the above posts (that I don't have access to) is that she accidentally watched the mediocre theatrical cut instead of the superior director's cut? 🤦♂️
Please watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer, not the film, but the series. Or both. The film was not what Joss Whedon, the creator of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer, wanted it to be like. He didn't have any control over the movie. So he created the TV series. It is the best TV series ever! :)
Kevin, sorry but she'll never watch Buffy....serialized show with 144 episodes. She can't just cherry pick 5-7 episodes per season like she did with TNG. Any of the older long running shows with a boatload of episodes have zero chance of ever being on the channel. Her next series is Andor which is just 24 episodes.
We’ve talked about the possible animated reboot of Firefly - but what about the possible return of Mystery Science Theater 3000 with the the guys from RiffTrax, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett. Apparently the kickstarter has been successful enough that they are building models and sets already.
I am glad she will surely skip the animated Firefly.
Go Night of the Living Dead!……I mean go Tennessee.
I been winning BB on Tennessee. Plus, want a reaction to Night of the Living Dead -- preferred that over their opponent's movie in every matchup. Placed a tiny 10 BB bet on them tomorrow against #1 Michigan.
How about a Denzel Washington poll?
Can't go wrong with a bit of Denzel, especially when coupled with Chris Pine and a speeding train.
Ohh my. Children of men isn't a light movie.
My preference is to always have a new Poll every week, there are of course many options. 1. Pollception 2. Random 3. By Genre 4. Films by Decade (could include all genres or be genre specific) In 2025, we had 33 Polls, Cassie watched 53 films from these Polls, which includes many 2nd & 3rd place finishers.
I'd personally like to see more director-specific polls -- across *all* reaction channels, honestly. Film is often referred to as 'the director's medium,' and I'd like to see that played up more.
Kind of new here I've only been a member for about a year. Not complaining just concerned, I was wondering has there ever been no uploads on either YouTube or Patreon by Friday? I am a bit concerned because I know Cassie gets sick a lot, and as a worrier, I pray there's no family emergency. Hope everything's all right Cassie. 🙏🤞❤️
I was beginning to wonder myself.
Definitely an eclectic couple weeks on the channel. Wondering if she'll realize she's actually seen parts of Fried Green Tomatoes before, but forgot. That was on every cable channel constantly there for a while. Pretty sure it had some shared filming locations with The Walking Dead, as well.
Yeah, I was rather surprised she had never seen it. It’s kind of an iconic “chick flick”.
Oh great, now we have another 2 weeks between GOT.
That is Great!!!!!
Well I must really be getting old and perhaps a touch senile as it's taken me 24 hours to realize that the Fried Green Tomatoes poster art is in Spanish!
You and me both!
After all the recommendations on lives and the poll chat last week, I decided to watch the Lonesome Dove tv series with Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones. I hope Cassie keeps that one in mind for the future, because it's one of the best miniseries I've ever seen.
It was great. Watched it myself last month.
I haven't seen Kingdom Of Heaven so no opinion there. Fried Green Tomatoes is a really good movie but I hope Cassie brought tissues. As for Children Of Men well, not everyone loves that movie. I happen to think it's the most depressing movie I ever sat through. I have no desire to watch it again but I will be curious about what Cassie thinks of it.
I think CoM is an important movie everyone needs to watch during these times. It reminds us to keep our faith strong despite the obstacles we may face, and that hope is a powerful thing to hold on to. I’m excited to see her reaction!
ooo, wait, here's an idea. What if you could spend the Butter Bucks on increasing the weight of a Popcornreq pick? Like .00001 of a point or so. It's nothing huge, but it would make the stakes more fun.
I don’t like Cassie’s Letterbox page. There’s too many films on there she (allegedly) watched pre-channel that I want a reaction to. I think we should plant a computer virus that takes the entire page down, so she has to repopulate from memory. Her memory is so bad when it comes to movies she’s seen pre-channel, meat would be back on the menu, boys!
sigh...
Can’t wait for children of men! Finally!♥️
I'm so sleepy lately cause I've not slept well. I still haven't watched the Poppies stream that I missed! Looking forward to rewatching all three movies this week.
Bad week for me. None of these movies interest me in the slightest. When’s the next GOT episodes Cassie?
"GOT season 7 reactions will start up next week!" - Third paragraph in this update. And from last weeks update- "Taking a one week break on Patreon from GOT then will dive back into season 7 the following week!"
Children of Men. And Kingdom of Heaven directors cut. Oooh man. What a good week
I can't wait to watch the Philadelphia Story in real time with you ladies on Patreon! It is one of my all time favorite movies❤️
Wait what?!?! Day the earth stood still is 80s movie!??! I thought it was 1950s or something? Or 1940s!!
You missed the "less than" sign (<).
For biggest upset, so far I would give the nod to Iowa for knocking off Florida. However, if Texas can extend their run and knock off Purdue, I would give it to Texas. A little drama for the !Upset Watch! 😎
Children of men- I know many others have expressed excitement, but kudos-great pick! Even more relevant today than when it was made ~20 years ago; with the dramatic (~50% or so) drop in fertility over the last few decades, and the younger generations' difficulty forming relationships, this movie is a fast motion version of where our future world may be headed. Commentary on this flick from Cassie may be just what the doctor ordered!
When is falling down gonna be on YT
When is Extra Butter?
Yeah i was wondering about the live
🤍🔥💯
Can’t remember the last time I was excited for all three upcoming patreon reactions!!!
I've been waiting for Fried Green Tomatoes to go on sale on Prime or YouTube for over a year and now I have a reason to just pay full price. Excellent movie!
Dang, that movie used to be free on cable and HBO all the time.
Did you want fries with your fried green tomatoes?
My Top 5 "must react to" movies still left for Cassie. 1. Under Siege 2. The Fog (1980) 3. Pitch Black 4. Predator 2 5. The Towering Inferno
I wish my list was that short.
You seemed like you are dreading the length of Kingdom of Heaven. I hope this means you are watching the Directors Cut as it is vastly superior to the theatrical release. While most of the time movies with additional footage are marketing gimmicks in this case it takes an OK movie with some problems and turns it into a really great film. Definitely the way to go!
Children of Men!!!!!!!!! Just one of the greatest movies of all time...that's all.
The Fried Kingdom of Green Children of Heaven Men Tomatoes.
I'm not really normally about the musical score of a movie, but Kingdom of Heaven has a gorgeous soundtrack.
Only now just noticed "Tomates Verdes Fritos" LOL. Any chance at seeing "Desperado" in the future? Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek. Mucho fun, senorita 👍
That means hot tomatoes with Fritos?
Wow already upto S7 of GoT, crazy how fast it seems you got through 10 years worth of content lol, it will be interesting to see your reaction to S8 (when you get to it) which i have not seen since it first aired.
If Cassie's getting into some Spanish movies now, I strongly suggest the following: Infierno Imponente (1974) Cresta de Desamor (1986) En Todos los Sentidos Menos Suelto (1978) Carrera de Bala de Cañón (1981) Mano Fría Luke (1967) As for the Patreon films this week, I'm not all that enthused, but I am looking forward to the YT's.
Don't forget : „Drácula“ (1958) 🙂
Thanks for choosing Children of Men as your PPOTM. Also very much looking forward to the poll winner Kingdom of Heaven. A great week on Patreon. Anticipating the start of GoT S7 next week. I won some BB on #11 Texas (LADYHAWKE) knocking off your #6 BYU (COMMANDO). Sorry.
I love this week. Children of Men might be my favorite movie ever, and Kingdom of Heaven Director's Cut is amazing. I also think it's the right call to take a week with GoT, we are rapidly approaching the end. Last 13 episodes, and I have a gigantic sad. It's been a great journey watching this show with you Cassie.
I can’t wait for you ladies to experiences Tomates Verdes Fritos!!!
Dear Cassie & Carly and the rest of PIB viewing public, Iowa over Florida is the biggest upset? Shouldn't we go by Vegas odds? About Last Week: We watched Awakings and GOT. She said we will watch Philadelphia Story tonight even though we just watched it last month. I just bought her a brand new stethoscope to celebrate her new job and pay bump. I might have mentioned something about Awakenings last night in my YT video I shot this morning which is actually going up now. With Awakings got me thinking about a 1990 episode of 48 hours called a Mothers Crusade it's the story of Doris Tate, Sharon Tate, Mom and how she opened a beauty salon called Tates. She went to Jay Sebring ( who was also killed that night) hair cutting school and learned how to cut hair. How she formed a group of mothers of murdered children and Manson's pet name for her. https://youtu.be/qOlPJt-IkzM?si=jytZ7ZvoC7_4-QqE The Week Ahead: Looking forward to Fried Green Tomatoes and Kingdom Of Heaven we own those. I still can't believe The Dirty Dozen didn't win. I cried at the movie man. As well as Cassie's PPM Final Four: Duke, Houston, Arizona and Michigan, baseball season starts tomorrow for the Cubs. Women's Final Four UCONN, South Carolina, Texas, UCLA Song Of The Week: With Fried Green Tomatoes playing this week I thought I would dip into the soundtrack. Now this is a cover of a Jimmy Ruffin song from the 60's all Paul Young did was add keyboards and give it a more melancholy sound No spoilers: From Fried Green Tomatoes Soundtrack here is Paul Young with What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted: https://youtu.be/Ykt7DYaLirQ?si=PKazbNOzuUWmakgd
The only thing left in March Madness that I really care about is Night of the Living Dead. If that doesn’t make it to the championship at least I’m not really going to care too much what wins.
Yeah, I pulled a hammy this year with MM. I had a few favorite films assigned to #3 seeded teams, and they all fell in round 2. NoTLD is public domain so Cassie can post the entire movie. I'll for sure watch the reaction but I suspect it won't hit with Cassie...hope I'm wrong.
No GoT???!!! I'll accept it because kingdom of heaven and children of men are both fantastic watches imo.
That was my thinking. I could be sad that no GoT this week, but instead happy to be getting Children of Men and Kingdom of Heaven.
Kingdom of heaven is such a blased movie against Christianity lmao
Agree. Won't get into it here, but many of those countries and provinces were Christian for 600+ years before they were conquered by force.
Talk about an embarrassment of riches. Wow. All three of these are certified bangers!
Do we know which version of Kingdom of Heaven we’ll be watching? I can’t find the Director’s Cut on any streaming platform. Disney only has the 2h 26m version.
She has said it will be the Director's Cut.
Kingdom of heaven baby! 💪
I kind of feel bad that Cassie and the editor who has to watch the super long movies like KoH directors cut, or the chance she'll have to watch Gone with the Wind from the March Madness. I get the feeling that if the directors cut of Erich von Stroheim's GREED is ever discovered it'll find its way to winning a poll or being a pick-a-flick.
My friend and I saw Kingdom in Heaven in the theater and said after that it seems like a lot had to have been cut. Lo and behold the directors cut comes out later and it went from “Yeah, it was pretty good” to one of my favorite movies.
With Kingdom of Heaven watch the extended edition it's a FAR superior movie to the standard length.
Where'd you find the Spanish poster for Fried Green Tomatoes? (Tomates Verdes Fritos)🤭😆😍 Órale güey!
Google image search probably. It's not that deep. She(?) searches for a title and picks one. Sometimes she gets a foreign poster, sometimes it's for the wrong movie. Just go with it.
Whichever was the biggest upset, it still means you have to watch 28 Months Later anyway?
I’m good today thanks Cassie. Weather has not!!! It was like trying to do gardening in a wind tunnel while someone throws ice (hail) at you!! Looking forward to more awesome reactions. Children of men will be a big one for quite a few paterons like Clay and I’m happy for them, it’s been along time coming. I like children of men, but I’m not a big fan so may wait for the YT edit. I haven’t seen kingdom of heaven, so should be interesting and I have a feeling you may like FGT. fingers crossed 🤞for “The Insider” ALA in MM Have a great week Cassie and all you fellow Patreons. You are the best ❤️
Great week of movies to look forward to and I just watched that Awakenings reaction, Robin & Robert we're great. Think you need to restock the tissues after it though, tough going 😑
Oooh, you are going to love Children of Men
I'm looking forward to Fried Green Tomatoes! I have a feeling Cassie will love it (or did love it).
Please watch Hope floats,F1, Southpaw For sequels Beverly Hills Cop 2 and A quiet place 2
+1 for Beverly Hills Cop 2
Spanish language Tomates Verdes Fritos (going by the picture)? This will be interesting.....
Probably just uploaded the Spanish poster, the movie will stlll be English language as I expect.
Oh man my heart just dropped out of my chest. I've been waiting for S7 of GOT like a kid waiting for Christmas. I shall continue to be patient.
The Day the Earth Stood Still and Fried Green Tomatoes.👍👍
That patreon lineup is sooooo good. Every. Single. Film 👍👍👍
Kingdom of Heaven and Children of Men in the same week you’re spoiling us
Children of Men and Kingdom of Heaven?? We're eating good this week!
Looking forward to Children of Men!
Fried Green Tomatoes has a scene that traumatized me so bad as a kid I refuse to rewatch it. And I see stuff like Terrifier all the time and The Exorcist was so unphasing it put me to sleep.
*unfazing
Doing great so far this week - crossed fingers knock on wood ;-) And the lineup foretells a great week - hurray! As for upsets: the one time I bet high on a No. 1-ranked team and it loses - stupid Florida.... But Ladyhawke keeps still flying - that's very nice!
Children of Men!!!! Wow! Cannot freaking wait. All these years following this channel, it’s finally happening 😭🤣
Hi Cassie, if it's OK to ask: When will the next YT Live be on? I just want to send you more Cadbury's Mini Egg Orange and some Hot/Cold chocolate sachets for your new Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser. No pressure, the Mini Egg Orange doesn't expire until July 31st!!!
Two of my favs in one week....right on!
Wow Children of Men and Kingdom of Heaven back to back. I hope she didn't get overwhelmed.
Children of Men!!
It's wild but KoH might be Ed Norton's best work since American History X as the Leper King.
Speaking of "American History X," Cassie needs to watch it ASAP. It'll get her a shit-ton of views (as it does for most channels).
Recommend the extended cut of Kingdom Of Heaven if that hasn't been discussed already.
I'm almost positive she said that was the version she's watching.
I recommend Clive Owen again Shoot Em Up. Another Badass movie of him to enjoy 😉.
Or even “Derailed” — fun thriller he did with Jennifer Aniston back in 2005
Children of Men is such a banger
Can’t wait to see my favorite cinematic character, King Baldwin IV.
If you can do all the episodes of GOT, you can do Walking Dead. 😉
Heck no! As much as I liked the walking dead, the show runners and producers really dragged it out for too long not to mention what they did to Frank Darabount.
Whoa! Children of Men gets better every time I watch it.
And scarily more relevant to what is happening in today's world!
Fried Green Tomatoes is a classic that I’m sure you’ll love
It's going to be a good week everywhere on PIB!!
First like Fred Durst !
TOWANDA!!!!
