Uphopping
Hey!
How is everyone doing today? I'm a little grumpy today haha-just woke up on the wrong side of the bed I guess, and my house is a mess and my socks have holes in them and I got trapped in a shirt in a dressing room at a store. Long story, but there were tears and I eventually had to rip it and basically dislocate my own shoulder to get out of it. so there’s that. bye $36 dollars and my pride…
I am excited to celebrate Easter this weekend though. We are hosting Ben’s family and I’m hoping it will be a chill and cozy, pastel weekend. What are your guys plans for Easter? Do you do a ham? Watch Ben-Hur? Deviled eggs-yay or nay?
This week we have a new Oscar’s past poll going up (titles chosen random drawing during extra butter live) We also have the start of GOT Season 7, Secondhand Lions and i’ll be meeting this dirty Harry i’ve been hearing so much about! YT will be Falling Down, GOT S6 finale and hopefully Philadelphia Story. Sorry we’ve been a little all over the place with YT uploads between copyright stuff and some other things but trying to get back in the groove!
Our Movie madness is down to Final Four! Which one do you hope will win? or think will win? I’m rooting for US Marshalls I think!
Pick a Flick for March is now closed! We will have the LIVE PICK on Saturday! Can’t wait-i’ll post more deets as it gets closer!
Thanks for everything my friends. Easter makes me especially grateful for all the blessings in my life-you all being near the tippity top!
Hoppy Week Peeps!

Is there any updates about the missing GOT episodes from YouTube? I can’t afford patreon right now and I’m stuck because I don’t want to just skip over the missing episodes. Any update on when they will return to YouTube?
I believe Cassie said she would react to the biggest ranking upset in March Madness. That would be the film Ladyhawke. TEX #11 (Ladyhawke) defeated GONZ #3 (RED).
I won BB off that game.
March Madness comes down to Gone With the Wind vs US Marshals. While I’m not a fan of GWtW I’d prefer that over US M, which is a mediocre movie, and not even a horror/ thriller film, which was the category it was shoe-horned into. Also, I thought the movies in March Madness were supposed to be to be taken from the highest ranked films on the new requests list but US Marshals is only 1275th on the list with no priorities and just 4 upvotes.
Was it not a mix of both request pages?
Dirty Harry for Easter Sunday would just, Make My Day!
We a!! Gather at my Dad's house for Easter Dinner. It starts at 3 EST if you want to drop by Cassie.
I think you said this year you may react only to the champion (not the final 2 or final 4) for March Madness. That's good.
At this point, I would like the Final Two. Gone With The Wind and US Marshals. Only because I think Michigan will likely win, stealing a GWTW watch from us in the process.
Don't care if I'm the only one with this opinion - Don't listen to anyone on here saying to skip all of the Dirty Harry sequels. Sudden Impact the 4th one is very close to being as good as the original. Sandra Locke in that movie was great
I hope she watches them as well. The more Eastwood the better!
Looking forward to Secondhand Lions! 🦁💟
U.S. Marshall's is University Of Michigan, my home team. Definitely rooting for them
Last boy scout is a middle of the road 90s actioner. Liked it when I was a teenager but can't say I've ever watched it again. Maybe it'll still hold up? U.S Marshalls is okay because Tommy Lee Jones as Gérard is great but the film is a bit of deja vu after the fugitive. Little shop of horrors was played repeatedly during school music lessons when the teachers couldn't be bothered to teach. Good fun but I think I'm too old for it now. Much preferred when they decided to play us Grease, Amadeus, Sister Act instead. Gone with the wind. Ashamed to say I've never watched it.
Gone With The Wind is just one of those films you have to tick off as a cinephile, Nim. It's very long (which is a strike) and pretty dated in a lot of the acting. They did like their melodrama back then. Clark Gable is interesting to begin with, but becomes real annoying real quick. There's a smug smarminess about him that definitely hasn't aged well. Vivien Leigh, on the other hand, starts off annoying, but in the second half becomes a really interesting character you can root for. Sort of like a Sansa from GoT arc. Olivia de Havilland and Hattie McDaniel are both a delight. Overall, it's worth 3 hours of your life, but only once.
Falling down part 2 starring Cassie 😉
The Great Santini. That's a movie I'd like to see you react to.
YES. Past time for a Pat Conroy. Lords of Discipline and The Prince of Tides would be good too.
Since cassie said she'll be re-watching Falling Down, I recommend her seeing "God Bless America" 2011 and Rampage from director Uwe Boll. Same themes like that one she reacted to but only u[p to 100% on crack. She's gonna have a wild ride for that
Love Dirty Harry, first movie I was allowed to go see as a kid 13 or 14 years old at night was Dirty Harry Magnum Force... it was more a finally wore my dad down asking to go to the movies every Friday night...
I have a similar memory of Sudden Impact. It was my second R rated movie. My stepdad took me and my brothers when I was 14.
Go ahead Cassie, make my day.
U.S. Marshals was boring. As a Tommy Lee Jones and Wesley Snipes fan it pains me to say that. And Little Shop of Horrors isn’t much better. There have been great musical comedy/horror movies (Phantom of the Paradise and Rocky Horror Picture Show spring to mind immediately), but LSoH ain’t one. That leaves Last Boy Scout and Gone with the Wind. I really like Last Boy Scout, though I don’t think it’s as good as some other movies scripted by Shane Black. And I remember liking Gone with the Wind (there goes my horror fan cred), although I’ve only seen it once and that was forty years ago. Mostly I’m excited to see a Dirty Harry reaction. While I’m not ordinarily a fan of sequels, I thought that Magnum Force and The Enforcer were both very good. Sudden Impact was solid, if unspectacular. And Dead Pool was a nice enough send off to a beloved character.
Have you seen Savage Islands? Also known as Nate and Hayes, probably my favorite Tommy Lee Jones movie, it doesn't seem to get much love outside of here in New Zealand.
Cassie, if you are rooting for "U.S. Marshalls", then that means you're cheering for Michigan. WooHooo! GO BLUE!!!
You need to ask yourself a question, do your socks have 6 holes or only 5....
Oh, what a week, Cassie! Try not to spoil us too much - we might get used to it ;-) Just back home from work - and GoT is waiting, so that’s already a win. After that, perhaps Secondhand Lions as a little treat? So evening entertainment is saved once more. But I’m still trying to form a mental picture of a person trapped in a shirt in a cabin at a store. Hmm. Must have been quite a tight shirt - OK, none of my business ;-) As for the madness, I’ll try to lose my last 500 bucks, but the movies still in the mix aren’t really my favorites, though they’re all watchable. And Gone with the Wind is a classic you should watch eventually anyway, even if it’s just because I had to as well - every freaking time that flick was on TV at home - my mom and Oma loved that movie. And PaF on Saturday should be doable for me to join - huzzah! And finally, to you and your family, Happy Easter. Hop on!
Cassie or mod's, I am just trying to understand the process, but my takeaway from this post is that The Philadelphia Story was not posted to YT because of copyright problems. Yet earlier this week when GoT was having the same issue, you updated YT saying so, and that it would still be available on Patreon, which it was. How come the same did not occur with The Philadelphia Story not on YT but viewable on Patreon? Accidentally deleted my first post of this while attempting to edit misspelling so sorry Chris Thom, but thanks for the answer!
Good question
A lot to unpack there lol. Sorry about the shirt, the shoulder, the pride, the socks, and the state of the house. Here's to a better weekend. Looking forward to a big easter dinner at my folks'. YES to ham, NO to deviled eggs, personally lol. They love em, I never have. I can't stress how excited I am for you to see Dirty Harry. Again, no sexy poncho, but a suit and swagger over a million. Fun lineup overall. Best to you, Ben, the kids, and in-laws!
Feel like bits of bacon would kick deviled eggs up a notch. I'm going to request that this year, because mom LOVES special requests when she's already stressed. lol
Above the changing rooms was notice reading 'You tear it, you own it' Passing underneath I quipped, 'That's what she said'
I thought a good prize for Movie Madness would be if the winning patron nominates 3 movies, 2nd place nominates 2, 3rd place nominates 1—then we have 6 movies for a final poll
Interesting.
Was cracking up about the dressing room story...but can also imagine how frustrating that would be. Honestly, I probably would've thrown a major tantrum at myself and that shirt would've been shredded. Lol. Recently bought shoes that were the wrong size on accident, and I've lost my s-- over it a few times. Wishing you a smooth, relaxing Easter. Happy Spring!
US Marshalls is a fun "sequel" to the Fugitive, but with a bit more action. You would love it.
And everyone has seen The Fugitive but I know of very few people who have watched US Marshals. Hopefully Carly has watched The Fugitive by now because I think US Marshals would be a great movie for them to do together.
Still waiting for the 28 weeks later that won the last random pick for March Madness. Unless you're cheating the pick win for Halloween again?? Please don't.
I didn’t really want 28 weeks later to win, but I want it at Halloween even less.
The shirt story sounds like it would make a very funny short film. But since it was April Fool's Day, are you sure that the sales person didn't hand you a straitjacket or octopus to try on?
DIRTY HARRY has been a long time coming. I'm excited for you to see the movie that made Clint Eastwood the biggest star in the world. Whether or not you watch the rest of the series (and some of them are actually pretty good), the first one is a must see.
It took a YT Poll...but thankfully we finally got it. Sudden Impact was my next favorite...a darker tone.
Dear Cassie and the Rest Of The PIB crew as well as Cassie's viewing public who across this post About Last week. We watched Fried Green Tomatoes and loved of across we did it had Jessica Tandy in it. I watched Kingdom Of Heaven. We fell asleep watching Children Of Men. All in all a great week. Then we got to see Secondhand Lions as a bonus a movie we both cherish. The Week Ahead: Secondhand Lions which we already watched with her. GOT begins the home stretch. 7-1 is where I got my tattoo the line comes before the beginning credits role. Then we got Dirty Harry, you do know that there are 5 Dirty Harry movies right? There is the original, then Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact, and Dead Pool. My friends and I loved these movies growing up. Then we have Easter Week or Holy Week we had Tenebre last night Holy Thursday tonight Good Friday tomorrow followed by the 3 hour long mass the Easter Vigil on Saturday Night. My gf read your story this morning how did you manage to get stuck? Wait she knows now. She sent sad emojis. Ok what does that mean? Song Of The Week: Giving that this is Easter Week there is only a few songs came to mind. We are going to travel back to the 70's with George Harrison member of the Beatles and great guitarist. So they made this video a few years ago all the musicians and movie stars in this video is amazing. Here is George Harrison with his huge hit My Sweet Lord: https://youtu.be/04v-SdKeEpE?si=PVsh4t7FNkGSc6we
Sorry about your retail ordeal! I am about to lose my shirt hopefully purchasing 2028 Olympics tickets during the locals' lottery this week. Hoping for some medal round seats, but might not get my Charlie Bucket moment. But I have won the desert lottery for Easter as the talented bakers in our family are making lemon meringue pie, key lime pie, and strawberry short cake. No need to crash the chocolate egg hunt when that deliciousness awaits. UConn still probably on a high after that incredible comeback win against Duke, so they might be playing loose enough to get on a streak. Should be fun. Hope everyone has a great holiday! 🐇😊
Just watched a video of all the new stuff LA is getting before the Olympics. The Lucas museum and the tram look really neat.
Looking forward to Falling Down, and hopefully US Marshalls.
Secondhand Lions is such a fun cute adventure movie, you're gonna love it
She seemed to like it quite a bit.
Ready for Dirty Harry and Secondhand Lions. You really need to see Robert Duval in his best role though, as former Texas Ranger Augustus McCrae in the Mini-Series Lonesome Dove.
Agreed! Lonesome Dove is his best work. And it’s free on Amazon Prime.
Happy Easter to you and yours, Cassie! Hope the kids get Canadian Chocolate in their baskets! I am making the Piedmontese Panne Pasquale, which is a cholesterol- soaked Northern Italian treat that involves obscene amount of eggs, meat, cheese and just enough flour to bind it. I learned it from one of my Grandmas and it is incredibly delicious. So much so, my family also requests it for Christmas. And Fourth of July. And some even want it for their birthday. He is risen! Glory and praise!
Cassie, forgot to say, Ive really enjoyed March Maddness again this year, the betting butter bucks thingy has been fun. Thankyou. Could we please PLEASE get a similar draw going with the World Cup in June??!! That would be awesome. 😃
What's the "World Cup"? Is that Curling or Axe-Throwing?
Hi Cassie, I’ve been working my n**s off recently, so I feel I have missed far too much of the chatter on PiB. I do miss this community when I’m soo busy. So, doing a Riggs were you? having to dislocate your shoulder! Did you bang it back in again like Riggs?! 😆 Talking of buddy cop movies, it would be great if you get to “Beverilly hills cop 2” at some point. Axel and Billy and Taggert back at it again! This one is directed by Tony Scott as well as Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson returning for production. Which means you get the the full “Top Gun” trio making the movie. I’m still hoping for “Paul” at some point as well. “Dirty Harry” is going to be a good watch. Iconic roll and a young Eastwood for you Cassie 😉 Can’t wait for more GoT! You’re the best ❤️
Any Eastwood is younger Eastwood, lol. He was already 41 when he made Dirty Harry. Cassie needs to make a video showing us how she got "trapped" in a shirt...🤣
Happy Easter, Cassie. Kinda indifferent on the final four, but Little Shop of Horrors had some funny scenes with the dentist!
Easter Egg hunt for the kiddies then gorging on chocolate is as far as we go. Early drop of GoT is nice and I enjoyed seeing SecondHand Lions for first time at the live. Suprisingly i've never seen Dirty Harry other than the famous clips and the Simpsons Parodies lol.
Hi Cassie! It's been a great Holy Week! I asked my 14 year old granddaughter to celebrate it with me. We've been getting in touch everyday and going over what Christ did, and went through each of those days. It's been fantastic!!!! Tomorrow is Good Friday so I'll be watching The Passion. For the first time since its release, I won't be watching it alone. You and I are watching it together. This year, during Lent, I'm reading for the first time (and will complete on Saturday) the Old Testament book of Ezekiel. If you want to see an example of God being angry, there you go. You say over and over again how much you appreciate those of us watching your posts. That's a two way street. We appreciate and love you too. Please keep doing what you're doing, may all of your family and friends have a Great Easter, and may God Bless you all.
That shirt story is awesome! Sounds like a mini horror movie: "Retail Revenge" "Escape from Hell Shirt" "Haunted Dressing Room" ?? I'd pay to see it. I'll be rooting for the UConn Gone Winders this weekend! Hope I'm off work when Philadelphia Story premiers on YouTube.
That reminds me of Drax fighting Dr Strange’s Cape.
Can't wait for "The Philadelphia Story." Grant, Hepburn, and Stewart!
Easter- I watch Jesus of Nazareth (1977). Here is the baptism scene to maybe nudge Cassie into watching it by reminding her what she wanted when she watched Passion- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB3EiwtbvOE
I second that. My favorite Easter movie.
I hope you eventually do the entire Dirty Harry franchise. All five are very good.
Agreed, the sequels are well worth a watch
OK, this is 2026 and Cassie is a Youtuber, so I do NOT believe she didn't video herself getting stuck in the shirt. Cough it up, Cassie! It will top a million views for sure. Good week for me on Patreon. Can't wait for GoT Season 7, Secondhand Lions is a delight and Dirty Harry is one of those iconic boxes we've been waiting for Cassie to tick for far too long. Someone mentioned below that Cassie has always watched all four finalists of March Madness in the past. If she does that again, then fine, but can I just point out that she's got quite a backlog of promised reactions stacked up this year, so maybe she should limit it to the final 2? Once she's caught up again, she can go back to pulling in the lower placings.
Just aslong as she gets through the backlog before World Cup movie draw "wink wink"
Hope you have a good Easter, We’ve never really done anything for Easter. Other than have get a bit of chocolate from the family when I was a kid. Sounds like you pulled off a Martin Riggs in the changing room 😂. Regarding March Madness, I’d love US Marshals to win. But I’d be happy with anything other than Gone with the Wind. So you know that’s going to win 😂. Looking forward to seeing you react to Dirty Harry. I personally really like it, but interested to see what you make of it. Not seen Second Hand Lion’s before so not sure what to expect from that. As I’ve not seen anything about it.
Hope you and your family have a great Easter, Cassie! In recent years I've been giving each of my family members the same Easter Egg, because I personally think it's the best: The After Eight Easter egg https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/307961014?srsltid=AfmBOori4dGI2MmrjDR2GznyUI87bkkfqhiVt4BcJgbp4SdoGG33e-fx Also, I give my Mum an Easter Egg for Mother's Day (The UK one is in March). In recent years I was buying her an expensive Ostrich Easter Egg from Hotel Chocolat! https://www.hotelchocolat.com/uk/ostrich-egg-dark.html
That shirt story is unbelievable. I'm trying to even picture how that can happen. I literally want to laugh and cry for you at the same time.
I'm rooting for Gone with the wind or U.S Marshalls. Have a safe and happy Easter, hopefully with no more shirt attacks.
Your April Fools shirt, I presume?
Gone With the Wind would be my first pick, Last Boy Scout #2. U.S. Marshalls #3. Illinois can go fly a kite. Last Boy Scout might be Bruce Willis most underrated movie. The good news? All four of the finalists are excellent movies. If there was ever a time to watch all four finalists, this is it. Tell your brother I'm sorry we couldn't get In Bruges into the Final Four. We tried, we really did.
Agreed. It's directed by Tony Scott, I've always loved his style
Hoppy Easter 🐣 🤞💙❤️🙏
Don't feel any pressure to answer, but how did you get trapped in a shirt? The $36 are for the rip shirt or the dislocated shoulder? Did you pop it back in like Martin Riggs? Rip the shirt like Lou Ferrigno? This is a grate storry it has shopping, tears, violence, medical emergencies.
Looks like Cassie will find out what a .44 Magnum can do. 🔫
Happy Easter! Ham and deviled eggs..abolutely! Ben Hur not so much, but we've watched King of Kings every Easter for 6 decades. Final four - Gone With The Wind, a must see! Really looking forward to Dirty Harry this week!
We alternate between King of Kings and The Greatest Story Told
Sorry you had a rough day Cassie ☹️ Hope things look better after a good nights sleep Have a wonderful Easter weekend with your family!
Don’t do much for Easter but my family makes some escabeche for Good Friday
That shirt had it coming! And Cassie taught it a lesson it won’t forget!!!
Shirt had it coming.
Too late for this year but have you seen "Easter Parade" starring Judy Garland and Fred Astaire for a nice musical for this time of year ?
I think that toy store dance number is in that. Incredible scene.
Remember Dirty Harry is inspired by zodiac killer and ruffalos character in Zodiac!
A quick sidebar.. have u ever seen " the mean season" ,? Kurt Russell plays a reporter that a son of Sam like serial killer reaches out to. It's not like Oscar worthy but not a bad way to spend 90 min on a rainy day
How does one get trapped in a shirt?😄
Some shirts are very confusing, it’s easy to get turned around in there!
RIP to your ripped shirt, if the shirt had a Star War meaning I will be disappointed. I hope your shoulder feels better.
Don’t really care about any of the final four movies except that I do not want US Marshalls to win (sorry Cassie). Looking forward to Dirty Harry.
She's watched all the Final 4 movies each year since it's conception so I suspect it's automatically going to be reacted to regardless
The Ten Commandments would come on every Easter growing up. That's my tradition.
Still does....weekend anyway....Saturday night
I gotta fix my car this weekend lol, been riding a bike to work for two weeks. Finally two days off in a row. Never replaced a power steering pump before, crossing fingers, also can't wait for these movies to wind down after. And Game 7!
I've found YouTube very helpful when it comes to fixing things. Maybe not a full fix. Maybe a jumping off point. Good luck!
Yaaaaaay finally, ‘Dirty Harry’ “you got to ask yourself one question, do I feel lucky? Well do you, punk?”
Sincerely hope the plan is to watch the sequels ( in order). Magnum Force is fantastic especially
I watched Dead Pool the most growing up.
Deviled eggs sound so good right now. One more Season of Game of Thrones closer to the first season of ANDOR. Enjoy, GoTers!
BTW ... How do you get trapped in a shirt ???
It’s a labyrinth shirt, once you go in it’s very hard to get out.
Secondhand Lions! Robert Duvall... Not only was he great in this film as uncle Hub. But let's not forget his performances in "The Godfather" 1 and 2 "John Q", "Colors" Falling Down" Gone in 60 seconds" and "Civil Action" just to name a few. R.I.P Robert Duvall 🙏
I didn't care much for "The Apostle" I think the film name was, but his performance in it was amazing, and terrifyingly accurate at the same time
Easter for me will be visiting my aunt in a rehab hospital, my brother, his wife and daughter staying for the weekend and us overdosing on chocolate eggs.
Hope she’s okay 🙏🤞💙
Dirty Harry !!!!!! Have to say, it's long, long, long overdue
Glad she’s finally watching it. Cool last name, by the way.
'Your Name' is a spring movie BTW . It's also a romance , sci-fi , mystery , suspense , drama .
I love Dirty Harry.
Dirty Harry is peak Clint Eastwood!
Dirty Harry! "Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"
I thought that was from Taxi Driver for way too long.
