Up with the Sickness ;)
Oh sheesh-ka-bob what a week! If you saw my little update from a couple days ago, we are down with the sickness over here. I have had fever/aches/sore throat but the kicker has been the viral double pink eye. I feel inclined to say viral, because I have been assured it's not the fecal matter pink eye kind-it's just from the virus, and unfortunately that means antibiotic drops don't do anything you just have to ride it out. UUGGGHHH perfect time to watch 28 weeks later though right?! Two of my cousins also got it who were in NYC with me :( Also a heartbreaking loss for my Mammoth boys but we push on and will beat them tonight in Game 5 in Sin City.
I am behind now from last weeks uploads with Gone with the Wind and I am hoping by tomorrow I will feel well enough/be able to keep my eyes open to start watching again. Sorry and thank you again for the grace as I catch up.
So this weeks uploads (along with GWTW) will be Your Name and 28 Weeks Later. Next week will be In Bruges, Scott Pilgrim and GOT S8 E1
This week we had a poll that I am really excited about-Political Thriller Poll-Spy Game was our winner-Brad Pitt and Robert Redford, if you insist ;) For our next poll I'm thinking a "Cassie's Picks Poll" or a "What World should I Return to Poll" (ex-Dirty Harry 2? BHC 2? Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit etc.)
Hopefully you are all having a great week, may your hearts stay healthy and your eyes stay white!
Love you all,
Cassie

28 Days Later is the only good movie in the franchise.
DHC?
YOUR NAME IS ABSOLUTE CINEMA!!!! Oh, and Dirty Harry is pretty great as well!
So, "Your Name" and GwtW will both be posted before the next UPDATE?
Good question- who knows?
Your Name?! FINALLY AFTER YEARS OF WAITING! Tell me it is with Carly!!!
it is
Enough of these "crying in our cornflakes" movies (haha), we need some in your face action movies. I rustled up this "not old" list of bangers. The RIP (2026) The Bee Keeper (2024) Nobody (2021) Extraction (2020) Olympus Has Fallen (2013) 2 Guns (2013) The Expendables 2 (2012) Jack Reacher (2012) RED (2010)
+1 for Expendables 2. It's more of the same, but Van Damme elevates it considerably.
yay 28 weeks later is up!!! Now if only we could infiltrate some horror stuff Pre-Halloween month for one of those lucky "Random March of madness lucky draw" out of the basket like she did on stream. Be it Terrifier trilogy, MEGAN, or Smile, anything goes.
Megan or Smile are a possibility (I’d rather she watch It Follows, which Smile probably wouldn’t exist without). But I’d be shocked if she ever watched Terrifier (certainly not all three). The people who pick horror movies for her wouldn’t let that one through, and in this case I kind agree with them, Cassie is not hardened enough for Terrifier
Does this mean no GOT this weekend? Also, I have a close friend in NYC and her and some of her kids all caught covid too, it seems to be circulating there at the moment.
Yeah, GoT will be back on next week.
When is Extra Butter? When is Pick-A-Flick? I know, I know, gotta clear up the pink eyes first
Cassie, if you end up doing an Extra Butter chat, are we allowed to talk about the NYC trip? So curious about what you guys saw, and ate, and did, and the filming locations and whatnot. But not sure if it's a private thing? Or maybe you're skipping it altogether for April?
Here is some recommendations, hard rain, fire in the sky, fear and loathing in Las Vegas.
Jose - go to beta.popcorninbed.com to enter your recommendations at Requests.
Looks like Cassie is inclined to watch the other Dirty Harry films. The Eastwood well is deep (as actor & director), might I suggest a few Polls. 70s & 80s: Kelly's Heroes, Play Misty for Me, High Plains Drifter, Every Which Way but Loose, Escape from Alcatraz, Pale Rider, and Heartbreak Ridge 90s forward: A Perfect World, The Bridges of Madison County, Absolute Power, Mystic River, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, and Invictus
Yeah, she did seem inclined, but that may have shifted from an auto-reaction to including Magnum Force in a sequels poll. I fine w/her auto-reacting to the 4 DH sequels but I prefer much of the content you list. So many movies. So little time. So few reaction slots. Eastwood saturation. If forced to choose, just as an example, I would choose B over A: *Option A: Magnum Force (1973), The Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983), The Dead Pool (1988). *Option B: Escape from Alcatraz (1979), Pale Rider (1985), Kelly's Heroes (1970), A Perfect World (1993).
Can’t wait for Your Name. It’s one of those movies if I see someone reacting to it I click the video. It’s also the anime I point to for people who don’t watch anime.
So is next week only GoT S8 e1? Not e1-2? If we single episode the last season it's going to take forrreeevvveerrrrr
I was already expecting her to do single episodes for episode 3 and 6, so if she’s doing a single for episode 1, I think it looks like she will do all of them as solo episodes. I’m not sad about it
FYI if interested. Totally Whatever posted an entertaining reaction to "They Live" (1988). I've always had nostalgia for that movie.
Molly Bee's is better
If you're "Down With The Sickness", you don't say UGGHHHHH, you say "oh-WA-AA-AA-AH!!" Is our Cassie harder than we thought she was? Is she one of our fellow🤘 Disturbed Ones 🤘?
She's not just sick now...she's DOWN with the sickness. Cassie has officially entered her punk rock era.
I've had a great idea. If Cassie won't show her face because she looks like Linda Blair in The Exorcist right now, maybe Ben can wheel her bed into the garden and they could do a "Marla Hooch" shot from twenty yards away. She could wear the Cannonball Run shirt I sent her so we know it's her, but none of us would lose our breakfast due to gross pudgeface.
Terrible idea, Clarence!!!!
New here and just wanted to say I hope you and yours all get better soon. Really enjoy your channel. Peace.
Welcome! Lots of good vids here. And full reactions if you're into them. Full tier has monthly vid chats with Cassie. She hasn't done that yet for April, not totally sure if it's still happening.
Hannibal (2001) could be an interesting one to return to. And it's set in the sweltering summertime, so could be seasonally appropriate (even though the movie was released in February). Or Red Dragon (2002) or Manhunter (1986). Or maybe just more Anthony Hopkins on the channel could be a good thing. Nixon (1995) was one of his best nominated performances.
Gary Oldman's a handsome fellow in that one.
Looking forward to Your Name. Can I make an easier poll suggestion than the two you mentioned? How about a random poll from the top 250 films on the new Requests list. Just use a random number generator to pick 8 or 10 films. Simple, quick, low effort.
Bracket- (like the Maverick one) enough of one (or two) and done polls.
Greetings Cassie, and her family as well as PIB family and to her viewing public. First I want to say a special 🙏 to Cassie and her family, I know you guys are suffering but remember, every storm runs out of rain and you will get better. You will. About Last Week: The best movie we saw was Michael (2026) we both happen to be old school Michael Jackson fans. The critics got it completely wrong. We watched Rebecca, Hitchcock movie great as always. Game Of Thrones ending season 7 Now we get to the season that made the Internet explode. For a bunch of different reasons. About next week: Both my gf Eva and I are not big fans of anime. We just never got into it. We have both seen Your Name. Our opinion doesn't matter, Cassie's does. We both decided to respect Cassie decision. Fall asleep watching it Cassie's reaction. Without watching the movie. Our husky Amaru seems to respond to Cassie's voice. He was sleeping in the living room we turned on Cassie on our TV in our bedroom and he came running in jumped on our bed tail wagging and watching TV. Then after 15 minutes he laid down and watched her. We know he can see her before it's one of super HD TV's that dogs can see. So we will watch Cassie reaction without watching the movie. 28 weeks later we will watch. We have seen the entire franchise. My soon to be wife the medical expert knows that saying anything will take the fun out of it. Song Of The Week: Down with the Sickness is not our favorite song. We decided to do a spring fun song: Here is The Beatles with Here Comes The Sun: https://youtu.be/KQetemT1sWc?si=Xqz5uz6M0R0AVA1Q
Did you break a personal record for staying healthy? Cuz its been a while since I remember you getting sick. Well I hope you and the whole family are already feeling much better since posting this.
Take your time and get better before you take on the movies you mentioned. GWTW is a classic but an almost 4 hour movie you should not try to take on in one sitting until you are feeling better.
Assuming there's next to zero chance she's getting back on camera until the eyes revert to normal shade. For medical, psychological, and vanity reasons.
I know basically nothing about your name, but the dichotomy with the 28 Weeks Later poster seems drastic.
Really hoping for subbed version of Your Name. And that someone familiar with the movie could check that Cassie's version has subtitles present for key moments before she watches it. Would be so much better for the reaction. It's a shame when reactions don't have the Japanese writing translated when it needs to be. Seen it happen even on versions of the English dub.
Think she prefer subtitles never seen her watch a dubbed version.
Actually the song is called Down With The Sickness. They're barely watching 28 Weeks Later now? Your Name is one of the best storylines ever. Belle is another great criminally underrated anime movie
Yes it's a play on words combing Upcoming with Sickness
"Your Name" is a great movie. I love Makoto Shinkais style - ever since I first saw "Voices Of A Distant Star" so many moons ago... - My bet is that Cassie is gonna love it!
Sub or dub?
Sub - I hope
Cassie, may your pink eyes return to their natural color. The first leg of the Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby is this weekend. It would be a good time to make a Horse Poll.
Scott Pilgrim is a gem of a flick. Enjoy.
So, we're about a third of they way through the year. I thought I'd check on how Cassie is doing with her watch goals for the channel that she made at the beginning of the year (anyone else can fill in anything I'm not totally sure about): - Go back and watch ALL JAMES BONDS *Nope, not yet - Andor *It's coming up after GOT, from what I hear - Fall in love with a never-seen romance/romcom *? - A great war movie *? - A great foreign movie *? - Re-watch Nolan Batman movies *Nope - Charlie Chaplin movie *Nope - Watch a movie she's been actively avoiding *? - MONSTER MOVIE MARATHON *Nope - Have a PPOTM get over 100K views *Still no - Watch a comedy she loves as much as "The Replacements" and "The Big Lebowski" *? - Finish a series *Still no -- even though she's just ONE away from finishing a handful of them 🤔 - "Dirty Harry" *Check -- the first one, at least - New Star Trek series *Nothing yet - Watch the new scariest movie she's ever seen *Nope -- and I don't think it's gonna happen unless she does "The Exorcist" or something akin to it 🤨 Obvisouly she has a ways to go yet. 🤷♂️
Looking forward to Re-watch Nolan Batman movies
The second Dirty Harry is my favorite 👍😃
Back to Dirty Harry - Magnum Force (the best of the series) or Deadpool As long as we are on the topic of Clint .... Bridges of Maddison County (with Meryl Streep) or Scary But Not Too Scary - Play Misty For Me or a western - Two Mules for Sister Sara with Shirley McClain (Steel Magnolias - Mrs Weezer) Did you finish the Spaghetti Western Trio? Fist Full of Dollars For a Few Dollars More The Good The Bad The Ugly
Wasn't Meryl Streep's character married in that one? I'm trying to remember the ending. Might make for a complicated reaction for her. Do think it should be on the channel, though.
I’m also thinking we should collaborate with Carly and gift Cassie with a special video chat surprise. I think it would cheer her up no end if we could get her puffy, pink eyed, lurgy face on to a video chat, under pretence of a chat with Carly, only for Kit Harington to appear instead. We all know how much she wants to meet Jon Snow and she’d love us for it forever.
Is it possible for Cassie to squeeze in a Zombieland rewatch this week? I’m thinking she probably looks like Bill Murray’s character right about now.
So I just came back watching Vampires in the Velvet Lounge.. Quite the chick flick vampire date movie.. I'm sure carly can handle it.. Also, it has American Beauty Mena Suvari and Deacon Frost from Blade!! It's like Sin City with vamps. My halloween 2026 recommend.
yikes! ...a few weeks back, plane was delayed, missed connector flight and was put on some overflow flight which turned out to be almost half empty, that's still a lot of people spread out... But there were around 6 people coughing... that's three times more than normal...! I'm pretty sure I got sick from that flight. Shaking fist against the sky... "You blew it up didn't you...? You maniacs...! You finally did it... damn dirty apes!" Falling to knees now...
This is cool. Look at Cassie getting into Anime. I hate to be this person, but I gotta ask, wasnt she supposed to do The 13th Warrior after it won some poll or other?
Just a heads up for the people over here- Ben says The Green Mile full reaction is back up.
Just tried it here and it still says video unavailable...is this just a me thing?
Cassie, I hope you will get well soon!!! ❤️
Looks like Halloween came early. Needs more of the random movie madness pick. Anyone's ball game of a horror being lucky enough to be watched earlier than october.
Please hold off on the sequels poll and instead give us a Cassie’s Picks Poll. We’ve only had one Cassie’s Picks Poll and that was 8 months ago. The 17 Cassie’s Picks (all original movies, no sequels) in that poll included The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), The Towering Inferno (1974), Lost in Translation (2003), Donnie Brasco (1997), The Man in the Iron Mask (1998), Payback (1999), Sleepers (1996), Joe vs The Volcano (1990), The Judge (2014), Patriots Day (2016), A River Runs Through it (1992), and others.
Well, it's far from A Perfect World [ahem], but the Dirty Harry world is an entertaining one!
I wonder how much her reacting to 5 Dirty Harry movies would push back her reacting to other Eastwood movies? I also like A Perfect World, Pale Rider, Kelly's Heroes, Escape from Alcatraz, Hang 'Em High (1968), Invictus, Letters from Iwo Jima, Mystic River, High Plains Drifter, etc.
Hope you and your family feel better soon 🙏 . Gooo Mammoth 🏒🥅 🚨🚨🚨🚨
gotta say, really curious about what the reaction to In Bruges will be…in the meantime good health to you 👍
Now that I'm thinking of it...she may be horrified. lol
Hope you all are well 🤞🙏❤️.
I just watched the trailer for Your Name again and I already want to cry over it. This is going to be one of Cassie's favourite movies she's ever watched
If you only watched the trailer you have no idea what your in for 😂
If you do the "What World Should I Return To" poll, please do keep in mind you still need to watch the third part of the original "Matrix" trilogy. Plus the Legacy sequel from a while back.
And The Animatrix!
Sorry you have pink eye. I hope you feel better soon.
I hope you get on a the mend quickly. your post made me chuckle uncontrollably. was hilarious. so fitting. so you! 💯🤍
Is this the start of PiB’s anime journey?
We can only hope.
Feel better soon! I love Scott Pilgrim. It will be interesting to see what you think of that crazy ride
Hi Cassie, this might make you laugh (or not!) back in the mid 1990s, the BBC commissioned a comedy celebrity interviewer to do cheeky, rather rude interviews with A-List Hollywood stars at their movie premieres. He was called Dennis Pennis, played by Paul Kaye (who went on to play Thoros of Myr in Game of Thrones) He "interviews" Clint Eastwood at 1.16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aflOmcK3N-I
Your most watched youtube edit is Terminator 2 with 1.64 million views so could return to the world of Humans Vs. AI in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines July 25th is Judgement Day btw
We need some more Dirty Harry, Magnum Force is a must, best one in the whole series? Definitely my favorite!!
Agreed!
I pray the next poll is a "What World should I Return to Poll" Dirty Harry 2 - Magnum Force would be my pick
I'm hoping we can do a "Should Cassie dive into Warhammer 40K?" Poll. She'll get hooked on the Grim Darkness of the Far Future.
Get well soon to you and Ben, Cassie! A lot of orange juice, hot drinks and shot of whiskey might help. It works for me anyway! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we all fully understand and wish you both a full and speedy recovery!
Unfortunately I'm not having a good week, work is kicking my rear end like crazy, as a result, I'm in shutdown mode, my body is completely fatigued and I feel like I'm going to pass out! However I'm not saying that I'm in worse condition than you! You have it worse for sure and I'm sorry, and I hope you get better! Soon I'll be sending you my fan letter along with movie poll suggestions! Oh and I might as well add my one remaining Grandmother I have left, I found out she has colon cancer! However I'm happy to say she is doing okay and she is taking kemo therapy, still very sad 😢 Anyway, get well soon Cassie, love and support 🥰😇🙏🤗😉✌️🌹
Ahhh wah ah ah ah
Woah...literally didn't notice the Disturbed reference in the post until your comment. Lol. Thank you.
Glad your on the mend didn't expect this so soon, nice Disturbed reference too. 28 weeks has some entertaining parts, it is nice to a see a horror make an appearance when it's not October. Cassie Picks Poll is a good shout.
Raising three boys here and all too familiar with the revolving door of viruses, bugs, & whatever finds it's way into tiny pockets (mostly sand and gift rocks for mom)... Having said that, there was a time when a lady friend of my eldest HAD to watch Scott Pilgrim, and I sat in... Perhaps some of the film buffs in here have a different take... it was a blast to watch with a group and I think it might be fun for all of us to see how it hits you (and Carly?) Cassie. feel better!
Once again – get well soon / gute Besserung! Ah, at last: "Your Name." Maybe this will finally bring a bit more variety to the PaF draws again 😉 That’s not really my kind of anime – I’m more into the "Akira" style - but it will be interesting nonetheless. Concerning "Gone with the Wind" – take your time, no rush. I was forced to watch that movie by my Ma and Oma every single time it was on TV. It’s not a bad movie, but it loses some of its appeal somewhere between the ninth and eleventh rewatch. So I’m counting on you to make it interesting again. No pressure 😉 And my two cents on new polls: How about a return to John Carpenter movies? There are still some good ones left you haven’t watched. Or maybe a Top 10 poll from the new request list? I also like your idea of a "Cassie’s Picks" poll – I’d be very curious to see what movies you’d choose. Once again, get well!
I'm all for Cassie checking out more anime! Akira should be on the top of that list lol. Anyways, I haven't seen Your Name, but I've heard it's massively emotional. Prolly why I haven't seen it. Should probably bring some boxes of tissues for that one! Also, cannot wait for Spy Game and In Bruges!
Strongly prefer "Cassie's Picks Poll" over a "What World should I Return to Poll". Get well. Your Name and GWTW both on my watchlist. Looking forward to those 2 reactions. Looking forward to next week: In Bruges, Scott Pilgrim, and GOT S8E1.
28 weeks is by far the weakest of the series but I hope it means we getting the new ones soon
Has a fantastic first 10-15 minutes though, and some other good parts interspersed throughout.
How about some American themed poll as we get closer to the America 250 celebration on the 4th of July? Could have an "America" poll where all the movies have America in the title, a poll for movies about important People from American history, or a poll about movies that involve an important event in American history.
Team America will win that no doubt 😂
What happened with Fried Green Tomatoes? Hadn't that been selected for a viewing or did I misremember that?
Maybe unlikely there will be a YT edit. Below she said "not sure if it’s going to get a YT edit. maybe saving for a rainy day." You can watch the full reaction if you are at a tier with acess to full reactions.
Cassie, still working?! You are supposed to be resting, taking it easy! 🤒 It really sounds crappy what you’ve got. I hope you feel better soon. I hope Ben is feeling a bit better as well? Looking forward to Spy Game, but is there any chance of the runner up? “The Insider” I’m positive you would enjoy it and a true story as well. If we are talking Sequels, I’m definitely up for “Beverly Hills Cop 2” bring back Axel, Billy and Taggart! Also another Dirty Harry in “Magnum Force” would be great. Also are we still on for “Paul” at some point? Sorry to keep pestering! Simon Pegg and Nick Frost will have you in stitches! 😆 Get well soon Cassie You are the Best❤️
I hope you get better Cassie. Omy gosh you gonna be watching a really scary movie, that's gonna be fun! 🙂
Feel better to you and the family, Cassie. Sorry this has you Disturbed (look - Mom made a Dad joke!).
Fecal matter?... In what way? 😯🟤
Its how you get Pink Eye Bruh....
Hope you get well soon!
I'm truly sorry you're not feeling well. That sickness is definitely an unwanted souvenir. Sending positive vibes(via emojis) Hoping you feel better ASAP. )))))⭐️💛🙏💫🌟💫🙏💛⭐️(((((
Ja-wha-wha- ahh -ahh! Or whatever disturbed said
Sorry you’re still feeling under the weather in your household. Hopefully you guys with soon be over the hump On a lighter note, I’m really looking forward to your PPOTM reaction!
Get well soon, Cassie! Sorry you and the cousins are dealing with that. On a lighter note, yes, I think a "Return To" poll is a great idea. I've been waiting for BHC 2, selfishly lol. You'd love it. There's more of a BUDDY cop feel than the first. Also, now that you've seen dirty harry, the next clint classic has to be "Play Misty For Me". His directorial debut. Good thriller. Again, hope you feel better soon!
Spy game is a go 👍. Redford and Pitt are great in it. Can't wait.
It's happening ! YOUR NAME has to be watched with Carly !
You been suggesting that for a long time. Happy for you getting the reaction.
I suggest you watch Your name in your theater room. It's absolutely cinematically gorgeous movie.
Rest as much as you can. You're missed, but I can handle you getting better and waiting. But thank you for the update.
We definitely want her to get better...but also can't help but notice how fast we picked back up making future plans for her and the channel though. Lol
https://youtu.be/InKWlI02Prk?si=8i5fFZdFoKNpb_UP
I will be deeply sad if Your Name doesn’t get a YouTube edit soon. I’ve been waiting for this one. I’ve been worried it will get the Spirited Away treatment (How about a Patreon only YT edit of Spirited Away?)
There's many many reactions on YT so I don't see why it would get removed
Double pink eye?? Great week to watch something where you have to read subtitles. ;-)
I swear there must be a Reactors Movie Schedule within the community. PIB doing In Bruges the same time as TBR Schmitt do their reaction. Dirty Harry a couple of weeks after The Coby Show? It is uncanny how so close together some of these reactions are.
Next week looks awesome! Get well soon Cassie!
Looking forward to Dirty Harry & 28 Weeks Later.
I’m so excited for Your Name!!! It takes just one good Anime movie to get hooked on more!
I fully endorse the “Cassie Picks” poll.
Ditto
What world to return to: Sicario: Day of the Soldado.
I'll heart this even without GoT this week.
We love you sweet Cassandra. Get Well 🫂
Take care, all of you.
Oh my gosh! Your Name is one of my all-time favorite movies. Trust me you’re gonna love it.
I hope you feel better very soon. 🕊🍿
yesss yourname been waiting forever for that one
Is Fried Green Tomatoes ever coming to YouTube? Or did I miss it?
not sure if it’s going to get a YT edit. maybe saving for a rainy day
Did Cassie make a Disturbed reference? 🤔
high school boyfriend lore ha
Should check out Contagion! It’s great especially after Covid.
I think she saw it during Covid.
