Up-Up Up and Away-Coming
Hello my darlings
How are you all doing? It’s officially summer in our house. I went on a walk this morning at 8:30am and all the kids were still sleeping, it felt so weird and like a gift. I hadn’t moved my body in 48 hours after a horrific drive home from Vegas, where I threw up the whole way home and night. Im hoping and praying it was some kind of food poisoning so it’s not something the rest of the fam can get. Other than that banger start to summer, a freezer was left open while we were in Vegas and all the freshly stocked pile of popsicles are now puddles. womp womp tiny violin I know. If i’m looking for the good I find the kids and neighbors making full movies with scripts and effects in my basement, I find a delicious fantasy book that got me through the sickness and I find my stunning peonies showing off for their one week a year!
This week on Patreon we are going to do our Extra Butter Live on Friday DURING THE DAY. Carly is so sick in the evenings and will be down my way anyways that afternoon and we thought why not?! It’s going to be a LIVE watch-along to The Rocketeer! I’m so excited! It will most likely be around 2 or 3pm MDT but will update you on exact time morning of. The full watch-along will be posted as usual this week as well sometime after the LIVE. I will also be watching BHC 2 and GOT S8E5. I actually can’t believe only one more week of GOT. I’m not ready to say goodbye. Next NEXT week after GOT E6 there will be three movies and then I’ll start to add Andor in the rotation the following week.
On YT it will be Gone With The Wind, GOT and Scott Pilgrim vs The World!
May is almost over! Don’t forget to enter Pick a Flick this month before Sunday 5/31. I can’t wait to see the picks and what wins this month!
I still have some runner uppers catcher uppers to do, but what poll should we do next?
YT LIVE packages and popcorn will be tentatively JUNE 20th!
Thanks for being here friends, love you from The North, across the Narrow Sea and to Quarth AND BACK!

When’s the new thrones episode coming?
The bells are ringing, why are the bells ringing?
Cassie, please don't sit on the Dirty Harry films....next up is Magnum Force. We'll be waiting. 😉
While I would welcome the DH sequels, I don't think that the highest priority. I would prefer 4 Eastwood movies (over the 4 DH sequels) selected from: -Pale Rider (1985) -Escape from Alcatraz (1979) -Kelly's Heroes (1970) -A Perfect World (1993) -High Plains Drifter (1971) -Hang 'Em High (1968) -Letters from Iwo Jima -Mystic River -Invictus
Cassie, if you can see this post, this is what you should do. Instead of a poll, make a LIVE stream video and call it a "Thank you for all the Patreon Members" for everyone who has participated in the PIB app. That "thank you" from you will be you picking 4 movies from the Top 500 of the PIB app request section. The Top 500 has a wide array of requests. Instead of putting these 4 movies in a poll, you will watch ALL of them. You can watch one of these movies per week, and then add whatever else you choose. I believe that this will satisfy many of your loyal Patreons who have been voting for movies on the app. A brilliant idea, is it not? I'm always looking out for you, Cassie. 😉
But how does she decide which 4? If it's Cassie's discretion then it's really just 4 of Cassie's picks rather than Patreon members picks—I'd rather it be the top 4 on the leader board
21 and 22 Jump Street
War/Romance Poll. Below are example movies each as combined war/romance to consider for poll. There are more to consider. Important aspect is not the specific example movies listed but to get a poll of movies with each movie having both war and romance as genres. I would be happy if the war/romance poll had none of the examples below, as long as we got a war/romance poll. Example Movies each as combined War/Romance. Allied (2016), The Messenger (2009), The Exception (2017), Summerland (2020), Suite Française (2015), A Very Long Engagement (2004), The Reader (2008), The Railway Man (2013), The Quiet American (2002), Enigma (2001), Where Hands Touch (2018), The English Patient (1996).
Cassie, are you aware we have not had a random Popcorn Requests Poll here on Patreon this year. Suggested rankings split: 1-100 (3 films) 101-300 (3 films) 301-500 (3 films)
A great suggestion. A no-brainer to me. I like your breakdown. I suggest using the new Requests at the beta site instead of the old PR.
1990s Reese Witherspoon Poll • The Man in the Moon (1991) • A Far Off Place (1993) • S.F.W. (1994) • Freeway (1996) • Fear (1996) • Cruel Intentions (1999) • Election (1999) • Best Laid Plans (1999)
I'll add 1998's "Twilight" and 2013's "Mud."
For anyone who cares, it's official: Addie Counts has become just the second major reactor (after Jen Murray -- though she wasn't really 'major' yet when she watched them) to watch the entire James Bond series for their channel. Unlike Jen, she hasn't watched the unofficial "Casino Royale" '67 - and I doubt she will - but I'm fine with that (not even Jen was that high on it). With 11 to go, Cassie and Carly can still become the third this year if they keep up with her beginning-of-the-year channel goals.
For me the fact other reactors have gone through the series recently makes me less inclined to see the same on PiB. Watch A James Bond movie, once a year maybe, rather than slog through
Funny that I see several poll suggestions where the person lays out exactly which movies should be in the poll. In fact I see this every time Cassie asks for poll suggestions. It’s funny because never even once has PiB used the exact movies people go to so much trouble to lay out for the poll. Big waste of time doing this.
Ben. He's picking on me and I feel well triggered. For the record, the logic of my poll lists is perfectly sound. Given that A) Cassie is looking for poll ideas, and B) She is generally suffering some kind of lurgy and is therefore low on the energy required to research and compile, I am hoping to catch her in a moment where she sees my list and goes, "Ah to heck with it, just use those." The wheels are always turning, my friend.
Andors almost here! Wooooo! Love that Cassie's going to be able to appreciate Star Wars again. Can't wait to rewatch The Rocketeer and see Terry O'Quin as Howard Hughes again.
I think the only 2 war movies we've had this year are Kingdom of Heaven and Gone with the Wind. War Movie Poll suggested candidates to consider: --The Thin Red Line (1998) --Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) --The Dirty Dozen (1967) --The Killing Fields (1984) --Three Kings (1999) --Downfall (2004) --The Deer Hunter (1978) --The Quiet American (2002) --Warfare (2025)
+5 for The Dirty Dozen, +1 for Deer Hunter.
Never seen The Rocketeer. Seem like a tween movie -- I never gave it a second glance. I was 28/married, a chemical engineer, and had just returned from working overseas when The Rocketeer released. I am curious about The Rocketeer. Will be 1st watch.
If you like films like RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER, you should like THE ROCKETEER.
How cute that the kids are being creative with the filmmaking. If any of them become the next Spielberg, that story of them making movies at Cassie and Ben's house will be told in perpetuity for fifty plus years. Lol
Might be time for her to watch "The Fabelmans."
Been waiting a long time for The Rocketeer, though I likely will miss the livestream since I have to work. 😵
What about a Dirty Poll? Dirty Grandpa Dirty Wars Dirty Girl The Dirty Dozen Dirty Pretty Things Ugly, Dirty and Bad Dirty Work (1933) Play Dirty (1969) Angels with Dirty Faces
The Dirty Dozen seems to be on EVERY list I've seen so far. Add in the silent masses, who will more than likely statistically feel the same way, and that's 360,000 votes for The Dirty Dozen.
Poll idea- movies with the same name (different stories, not remakes, re-imagines, etc.). For example- Above the Law (1986, Cynthia Rothrock), Above the Law (1988, Steven Seagal) Blown Away (1993, Corey Haim), Blown Away (1994, Jeff Bridges) The Hunted (1995, Christopher Lambert), The Hunted (2003, Benicio del Toro)
Here another example: The Girl Next Door (2004) And the 2007 The Girl NExt Door. Not gonna spoil the latter's genre. Let her figure out!
Was this book that got you through the sickness called "Watership Down"? 😉
I think we need a "So In Cassie's Wheelhouse She Just Needs to Watch It Already!" poll: Blue Hawaii (1961) The Verdict (1982) THELMA & LOUISE (1992) - C'maaaaaahhhhhn! A Perfect World (1993) World's Fastest Indian (2003) The Station Agent (2003) - Tyrion in his street clothes Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) The Whale (2022) A Man Called Otto (2022)
Dang good list. I would replace Blue Hawaii with Viva Las Vegas (1964) which I think is a better Elvis movie -- plus has Ann Margret -- giving the charismatic couple.
Kidnap Movie Poll • BREAKDOWN (1997) • THE VANISHING (1988) • SPARTAN (2004) • MISSING (1982) • FRANTIC (1998) • ROOM (2015) • THE CHASER (2008) • THE MAN FROM NOWHERE (2010)
A Perfect World!
This seems like it'll be a good week. Looking forward to the rocketeer and game of thrones in the penultimate episode. For all the love I have for the original Beverly Hills cop. I think I've only seen the second one once in the '80s so it will be interesting to give it another watch. I really don't remember anything about it
Actually this poll might be a more appealing for Cassie... and Carly: The remaining James Bond movies! If I was to vote on which ones to watch next they would be: DR NO (1962), YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967), MOONRAKER (1979) or THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH (1999)
No need for that, Jonathan. She might aswell start from Dr No and just fill in the gaps. She doesn't need to be in a hurry about it. One or two a month would be fine.
Just watching the top 3 movies from the popcorn request list a month would be nice. No polls, not random picks just the top 3 requests.
Poll suggestions? Well, if I had my way I would want to do a poll of these classic movies: DAYS OF HEAVEN (1978), ED WOOD (1994), EMPIRE OF THE SUN (1987), CITIZEN KANE (1941)
+1 for Empire of the Sun. Also like Days of Heaven (Terrence Malick)
I am so excited that you're going to start watching Andor! My favorite Disney series in the Star Wars universe...
My favorite SW content.
Greetings! Uh, what a very nice week on Patreon. I really think you'll have a blast with BHC2, and The Rocketeer is also a very nice movie. As a kid, I saw BHC2 so often that I knew most of the best lines by heart - in the German-dubbed version back then, since my English capabilities weren't that great at 12 years old. Two years later, I toured the Southwest of the US: Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas. We also visited Carlsbad Caverns and watched the bats fly out. We skipped Utah, though - sorry. And I watched my first movies in an American cinema: Batman, Weekend at Bernie's, and 007 - Licence to Kill. The 90s were great! Concerning your health, Cassie, I really hope you get some proper rest soon. My European bias may be showing, but after sickness, Vegas, and melted popsicles, I feel like a quiet Greek island with sunshine, sea, and good food should be prescribed immediately. Being selfish, I should recommend Germany, but honestly, Greece might have the stronger case by far here. The live watch-along will be at a very acceptable time for us Europeans - very nice, thank you. I'll have to cancel my plans of watching The Mandalorian and Grogu and afterwards binge-watching Spider-Noir tomorrow, though. If I tell my friend I'm watching a movie with a very nice girl, they might forgive me. But maybe I'd better not tell them that it's an online watch-along. :-D Oops, the text got longer than intended...
I think she should spend every other month just going through the Popcorn Requests movies. And put up some polls for the people on youtube.
It makes a leader board a bit pointless if it's not utilized
I'm happy you are seemingly doing better. "a horrific drive home from Vegas, where I threw up the whole way home" Cassie: our very own astrophage. "I actually can’t believe only one more week of GOT. I’m not ready to say goodbye." https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OrgPsGjByhY :-P
That walk sounds like a little slice of heaven in the whirlwind (and hurlwind) you've been through in the last week or so. Hopefully, more of that in the next days and weeks!
Great week of films coming up, will be starting work when the EB live happens so hopefully someone reminds her to pencil in Escape To Victory in next few weeks as the World Cup starts on the 11th. Nearly at the end of GoT 😔.
+1 for Escape to Victory What a team!
Hi Cassie, I’m glad to hear you went for a little walk the other day and had a bit of time to yourself. You always seam to be trying to do your best to keep everyone happy in your life and helping out at so many events, It’s good to take a little time out for yourself. Your horrific drive home the other day makes me think of the scenes in Kindergarten cop where the lady cop is sick all the way on the drive to Astoria. Did Ben have to carry you inside like Arnie did in the movie?! I hope you are feeling better. It’s been stinking hot here in the UK recently which has made work for me tuff! Trying to dig out an entire hedge by hand in 30 plus degree heat is not fun! Today is a Big day for my best mates daughter who is 12. She has been coming round mine every few weeks for nearly a year to watch the Marvel movies for the first time. Today we are watching “Infinity War”And to say she is excited would be an understatement!! What have I done?! Cassie do you remember watching Avengers Infinity War for the first time? I would have loved you to have watched it first on the channel! Really looking forward to BHC 2, such a fun sequel. Like you, I’m not happy my GOT journey is coming to an end. I loved watching along with you. A poll idea for you: Ray Harryhausen movie Poll: The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958) The 3 Worlds of Gulliver (1960) Mysterious Island (1961) Jason and the Argonauts (1963) One Million Years B.C. (1966) The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973) Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977) Clash of the Titans (1981) There are many more to choose from. Finally it’s The World Cup in a couple of weeks, any chance of a March Maddness style movie/country random pick from you? You are the Best Cassie ❤️
I would love a Ray Harryhausen poll, the sad thing is Clash of the Titans would almost certainly win. While it’s not his worst movie it’s nowhere near his best either. If the top 2 vote getters were promised I’d feel better about it.
It's probably too much to ask to see a reaction to the movies being produced and directed by the kids and neighbors! :)
Cass has to now watch Be Kind Rewind
A live watch along. Those are fun. Just don't start it before 2 MDT without giving a couple hours warning. If you start before 2 I will have to leave work early. I normally can make it home before 4 EDT which is 2 MDT for you.
Oh boy, extra butter is going to be a fair whack earlier than my regular wake up time... we'll see how we go. "The Rocketeer" quite the little gem too.
Sorry, I went on a bit of a rant there. "but what poll should we do next?" Nothing. Stop doing a bajillioin polls. There are still a dozen promised movies, there are still several dozen "I really want to watch that" or "I've been meaning to watch that" movies, there are still all the runner-ups on polls that never get watched (the Mother's Day poll springs to mind) despite so many other ******** runner-ups getting watched, and there is not one, but two Popcorn requests that barely get any use. And that isn't even mentioning people like Bjorn who have been advocating for their one movie for years that could be getting a look (Show Me Love is a good movie that should have been a Popcorn Pick long ago). Plus with the long-ass series (and franchises) taking up so much of the time (seriously, go look at the data sometime), all more polls do is put everything even more behind. - edit out a rant - But if there has to be a poll, it should be a criminally under-served genre here- Animation and Anime are the two big ones, but there is also foreign; fun, more modern westerns; '90 thrillers (seriously, how has Single White Female not been watched yet?); "Disney" (not Pixar, subsidiaries, or anything from the buying spree); comedies; etc. It has felt like the channel has been stuck in it's sci-fi, action, war, "generic guy movie" bubble for so long with only glimpses of anything else (the last week or two has been good though). All that said (and I edited out a lot), there should be more brackets, like the Maverick one, or a few tests of different voting styles. Twenty percent picking the most mundane movies to "win" polls is getting old- 20% "winning" means 80% wanted something else, let's try to listen to that 80% a little.
Mike - the only thing I’d add is 2 additions to genres that have been overdone lately - mainstream dramas and romance.
I was looking through the PaF selections and I saw Scott Pilgrim, which has already been watched, and The Rocketeer, which is about to be watched. Whoever’s picks those are needs to change them. Honestly, if you can’t be bothered to change your picks when they’ve been watched then you should just be skipped if your movie is picked. No one should win using a placeholder.
Yes, come to my side! The side that actually goes by the rules of Pick-a-Flick.
What kind of poll should we do next? How about something different like a horror movie poll? Modern, classic or preferably both. An Asian martial arts poll would be great too.
This is why I suggested random PR polls. I'm not happy in general with the targeted polls we're getting lately.
Greetings to Cassie and her ever growing family as well as her PIB Family and viewing public. About Last Week: I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend. While Cassie was getting sick on her way back from Vegas. We bought a Town House. I managed to talk my lovely gf out of the 430k house and settle on a 300k Town House, and a trip to Greece in the fall No more freaking renting. Feels so good. Yeah we have to switch towns closer to Iowa City. Enough about us though let's talk about the 13th Warrior not my type of movie. However it's fun to watch movies with Cassie even if I fall asleep during the middle of it. We love watching the end of GOT with her. Getting closer to Andor ac show which we love but we also love House Of The Dragon. Hmm We will watch My Sister's Keeper tonight. The Week Ahead: Beverly Hills Cop II A movie which I first saw with my friend way back in middle school. That was only 44 years ago but my friend and I have seen it several times since. A movie which we will be laughing at non stop at some of those scenes. While we think Equalizer 2 is better you know it has Pedro Pascal in it. Someone we just saw in The Mandalorian and Grogu. The Equalizer 2 has such beautiful storylines. Then It's the Rocketeer a movie I haven't seen since I was 12. Then The Bells in GOT. All In all a great week. Your Moment Of Zen: Our push to have Cassie watch a Sharon Tate movie carries on with a Interview with Sharon herself on the set of Valley Of The Dolls. Remember there are some things in this life that are bigger than you and me. Sharon's life and the beautiful things she did it, also while keeping her memory and legacy alive. To us that counts. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/qL-ZRs3PHLc?si=Y1hE47rnUq6-BMPT
The greatest and most globally watched sporting event, the Fifa World cup runs from 11th of June to 19th July so this year might be the first time I miss a YT LIVE 😩 but as it's hosted in the US/Canada/Mexico hopefully you can confirm a date and time where its only the minor teams playing 🙏
I think it was a youtube livestream forever ago where you mentioned once that you have green fingers/a green thumb or at least attempt to nurture a bit of plant life. It's so rewarding when your patience and care throughout the year come into bloom. Gardening is really beneficial for reducing stress and exposing yourself to microbes that help to boost your immune system, although the amount of times you fall ill during the year you should probably be eating soil by now 😉😂👍
How about a summer movie poll next? Please include What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) (with a young brilliant Leo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp), An Unfinished Life (With Robert Redford, Jennifer Lopez and Morgan Freeman) (2005) and Captain Fantastic (2016) ❤
A poll with nordic movies 😁😁 (will never happen) 🙂🙂
I had something like that over Christmas two years ago, not fun. Glad your on the mend.
Well I am looking forward to your reaction to BEVERLY HILLS COP 2, The movie I most excited about this week is of course THE ROCKETEER, a film I've loved ever since I first saw it in the theater and which, despite its underperformance at the box office, I think it's just terrific and woefully underrated. I've been pushing it here on the channel for a while (especially since you two watched the two Timothy Dalton Bond films and you, Cassie, watched THE AVIATOR) and damn especially pleased that Carly will be joining you for it. I'm sure you will both love it. It's good, well crafted, old fashioned, nostalgic comic book hero fun directed by the guy who would go on to do OCTOBER SKY, THE WOLFMAN with Benicio del Toro and the first CAPTAIN AMERICA movie, went to no doubt you will see similarities with THE ROCKETEER. Gorgeous James Horner score as well. As always come and keep up the good work. :-)
The Aviator reaction is one of my favorite vids on the channel.
Yay for Andor. Movie Poll Ideas: -Romance -Westerns -Neo Noir -War (KoH + Gone w/Wind only 2 war movies this year?) -Movies your brother suggests -New PR (e.g., 10 from 1-300) -2000+ movies (21st century) -2010+ movies (2010-2026) -2020s movies (2020-2026) -Christian Bale poll
The Rocketeer. LET'S GO!!!
You know those videos that got reinstated on YT a week or two ago? Yeah, never mind -- they're all blocked again. 🤦♂️
Which ones? I missed out on the YT fireworks I guess
Maybe a PR Random Poll (8 films). (2) from 1-100, (2) from 101-200 (2) from 201-300, (2) from 301-400
just here to say that BREAKING AWAY (1979) would be the perfect summer sports film you could watch during the Tour de France....
I'm personally hoping "American Graffiti" finally gets a reaction this summer.
After game of thrones, I recommend Tales from the Crypt TV series. It has 7 seasons.
That would be great. And since it’s an anthology series she wouldn’t have to watch every season or even every episode in the season. She could just watch the best ones.
The Rocketeer director Joe Johnston was on the team that worked on the original Star Wars movies and he directed Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and Captain America: The First Avenger . Can't wait for you to watch The Rocketeer !!
He also directed "October Sky" and "Jurassic Park III," both of which Cassie watched for the channel.
The Rocka who?
Oh, for crying out loud haven't you read the papers?
warner bros presents blake edwards the great face greatest gayest wildest funniest watching first time comedy movie reaction
Does she accept bribes? I think she'd love my movie
Cassie has been reticent to follow patron movie recommendations ever since one patron, who shall remain nameless (name rhymes with Farence Fewman), told her that “An Officer and a Gentleman” was a fantastic, fun, light hearted rom-com.
Omg we’re finally getting Andor 🙌 I’ve been waiting for years. Ever since you said you wanted mature Star Wars
Any chance you would consider some sci-fi that aren't Starwars or Marvel? There are some really good shows that you would like, like Stargate SG-1 or Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Even Battlestar Galactica is awesome. It's gritty and filled good personal/relationship drama. Also, maybe some more anime?
The Expanse
Oh, nice! Good ones.
I'm delighted both of you ladies will see The Rocketeer! Cassie, you may have to help Carly with WWII references and explaining the rich guy.
I wonder what TV series that Cassie might watch next? I really recommend the BBC's Planet Earth series, but I've noticed that the BBC tends to clamp down on YouTube reactors watching their TV shows. Anyway, thanks for watching the entire seasons of Game of Thrones, Cassie!
Nice Suggestion Jonathan. As a massive fan of Attenborough, I would definitely love to see this on the channel. However, I wouldn’t hold your breath for a documentary series on the channel yet. Maybe in 10 years or so if Cassie is still going! I personally don’t feel it’s the best series Sir David has done. But, from a visuals and soundtrack perspective it’s a master piece!
Be well all 🤞🙏❤️
We're doing Andor? Love it or hate it GoT was THE show of its decade. It has cultural significance. I think watching the GoT spinoffs and other modern shows is a pretty lame idea. It might get a few subs but it lowers the overall quality of the channel. I thought this was all about Cassie watching all the great stuff she missed out on?
Yep. More freaking Star Wars. There's already been 25 of them, let's do more./s And that "great stuff she missed out on," well, that is few and far between anymore.
I love The Rocketeer (1991), used to watch it when I was a kid, saw it again recently and it still holds up as a very good film. Timothy Dalton is particularly good in the film. He turned 80 years old this year!
He makes a great villain.
I’ve been reading Joe Bob Briggs Goes to the Drive-in, a compilation of John Bloom’s articles in the 80s critiquing films he watched at the local drive-in. Among the many articles was one listing some of his favorite drive-in movies. I’ve culled his initial list of approximately one hundred films to only ten. I think a drive-in movie poll is long overdue. Suggestions for the poll: Night of the Living Dead (1968) - the movie that re-invented the zombie and created a new sub-genre, directed by the absolute master of the form Billy Jack (1971) - Tom Laughlin as a kung fu master that beats people into submission, all in the name of peace Blue Sunshine (1972) - people start going insane as a man wrongfully accused of murder tries to get to the bottom of the mystery of their affliction It’s Alive! (1972) - tagline “There's only one thing wrong with the Davis baby... It's Alive” Walking Tall (1973) - Buford Pusser cleans up a corrupt Tennessee county The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) - one of the best 70s horror films, with LOTS of sub-text (and not the club-you-over-the-head variety prevalent today) Death Race 2000 (1975) - cross country racing satire starring Sylvester Stallone and David Carradine (Kill Bill) Piranha (1975) - best of the Jaws rip-offs The Warriors (1979) - a youth gang tries to survive the trip home from a gathering of all the city’s gangs Basket Case (1982) - Duane carries a basket everywhere he goes and there’s some THING in it; sleazy 1980s era 42nd Street was never captured better on film Finally, I’d like to suggest that Cassie look into the possibility of doing a reaction to a movie at her nearest (or best local) drive-in. Other reactors have done location reactions (most notably Kat) and I think it would be a fun change of pace.
Random thoughts: As much as I love the hapkido fight scene in BILLY JACK and the fight double work from Bong Soo Han, it's an incredibly boring movie with cringey hippie improv. Yes, there's one GREAT fight scene and it's set up, but goodness gracious is it one awful and boring movie, with the sequels all managing to be even more boring and less action oriented. I do find BLUE SUNSHINE to be an interesting movie with an odd lead performance from future softcore master Zalman King, but definitely more interesting as a 70s curio than entertaining. I think IT'S ALIVE could be the next great undiscovered reaction channel discovery ... But I don't know if it is right for PiB. it's a Larry Cohen movie with great acting, but it might skirt the lines on Cassie's preferred 'no' list of things she doesn't want to see on premise alone.
Next poll: Yuppie Movies • WALL STREET (1987) • THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS (1987) • MARGIN CALL (2011) • GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS (1992) • BOILER ROOM (2000) • LESS THAN ZERO (1987) • THE BIG SHORT (2015) • THE ASSOCIATE (1996) • ARBITRAGE (2012)
The big short, great movie. Margin call, Glengarry, a superior ensemble movies, Fantastic acting and have some very clip worthy scenes.
Summertime movie poll. I have a list.
What’s on the list Dave?
Ah watching Eddie Murphy is an uplifting time to bring you back the world. Looking forward to Andor, you'll be surprised with the cast of the show.
If you're looking for another fantasy book to keep on hand I recommend Howl's Moving Castle—also turned into a very good film
I would love some more anime, so many good choices.
After GOT is done you need to do a reaction to Game of Thrones the Musical on YouTube. It’s a 12 minute short and it’ll be fun to watch the reaction too
Great lineup this week. Plus My Sister’s Keeper just dropped. I’m going to need a bigger popcorn bucket.
I will always advocate for a courtroom/investigative poll
Amistad.
The rocketeer!
Whenever I think of 🤢 I always think of Jimmy Fallon in “Fever Pitch” (2005).
Did I hear correctly. Are you doing King Kong (2005) 🤔
yes!
I thought for sure we'd be going into House of Dragon after GOT
Maybe she will, maybe not, or maybe she just wants to take a pause from Westeros for now
Get well soon to you both, Cassie and Carly!
A poll idea I've recommended it before and will do so again: The MORE COWBELL poll! All Christopher Walken movies! Gotta have more cowbell! THE DEAD ZONE (1983) - my favorite subdued Walken performance in a Stephen King movie from the director of THE FLY THE PROPHECY (1995) - my favorite over the top Walken from the creator of HIGHLANDER SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS (2012) - ensemble Walken from the writer/director of IN BRUGES NICK OF TIME (1995) - starring Johnny Depp in a thriller that takes place in 'real time' A VIEW TO A KILL (1985) - A James Bond movie, Roger Moore's last, where Walken plays the classic dyed blonde American-accented French Industrialist madman archetype! I've got a fever! And the only prescription ... Is MORE COWBELL!
You can't leave out "The Deer Hunter," for which he won his only Oscar. I'd throw in "King of New York" as well.
A few poll ideas - Animated Movies, Movies with America/United States in the title in honor of America 250, Summer Themed movies, and Satirical Comedies
“Shakedown Breakdown Takedown Everybody wants into the crowded line Breakdown Takedown You're busted Let down Your guard Honey, just about the time you're thinkin' it's alright Breakdown Takedown You're busted” Bob Seger for Beverly Hills Cop 2…😎
I saw Breakdown and first thought you were listing movies for a poll. Then your ‘list’ started singing to me.
So hyped seeing that BHC2 poster. We'll see if it rivals lethal weapon for you lol. Crazy the GOT journey's ending. The reactions have been really fun. Looking forward to Andor though. Sorry about the sickness. Sounds like the time I met a mean box of Krispy Kreme donuts 🤢 . Here's to better health and fortune 🥂
Cassie, even though BHC 2 won the "What should I return to poll" I hope you will give serious consideration to returning to Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry series
That would be awesome!
Can’t wait for Andor. By the way Cassie, for your planning, the series is structured in sets of episodes (arcs), so watching them in pairs may not be ideal. Not absolutely critical or anything, but something to consider. S1: eps 1-3, eps 4-6, ep 7, eps 8-10, eps 11-12 S2 is four sets of three eps each.
Looking forward to the next YT Live, Cassie. I will definitely send you another parcel!
Banner week! Gonna love all 3!
Dang Cassie, sickness just seems to follow you around like a heat score. 😷🤒🤢What did you do or not do in your past life to deserve that? 😵💫😵 PS: I'm excited as always for this week's rotation.
Delicious fantasy book? Tell me more!
If I had known books were delicious I would have been eating them ages ago!!
You and Carly will LOVE The Rocketeer (1991), Cassie. Guaranteed!
What a line up this week. They are all bangers! What poll? I’m all in for some more Hitchcock, there are seriously many more films of his to watch. But I also want us to get ahead of America’s 250th birthday because July 4th is just around the corner. I don’t want a poll, I want a watch! I think the 250th is the perfect occasion to watch 1776 (1972), the musical about, well, 1776 and the signing of the Declaration, you know, what the holiday is actually about. The movie is a perfectly good musical history lesson, and it should be watched. So many of us watch it every year, and we want to watch it with our favorite reactor. Gosh, Cassie, we all wish you would stay healthy and well!
I watch both 1776 and Gettysburg around 4th of July every year. And now is the time to push for them.
It's 1:58am and I can't sleep right now because there is a TORRENTIAL heavy rain and thunderstorm right now! We have been having a record breaking heatwave in the UK these past three days and now it's a torrential downpour!
Thanks for putting my email back on the email notifications, Ben and Cassie!
I didn't miss the My Sisters Keeper post did I?
sorry it’ll be up in 10 mins!
I dont understand the point of a live watch along during something they haven't seen before. Its just a distraction and at some point its going to cause missing something really important.
She doesn’t look at the chat during the movie. It’s more the before and after that she interacts.
About time you watch The Rocketeer, such an underrated classic! I initially had it on one of the polls I was going to send you with my fan letter incase if it didn't win, but now I can cross that off lol! Ugh, I'm so done for May to be over after all the hard work I've been doing! Last night I pulled a muscle in my right biceps while dumping 6 loads of ice from the ice machine and now I'm working with practically a dead arm, ouch! Sorry you got sick in Vegas! I never eat at hotel restaurants, every year when I go to Vegas in January, I always eat at the food court on the strip, I've never gotten sick there! I'll be sending you my fan letter very soon, it's almost finished! Love and support, give Carly a hug of support from me, you and Carly are the best, big congrats to her, and God bless y'all and the family 🥰😇🙏🤗😉✌️🌹
Rocketeer and BHC 2 awesome. Can't wait for Andor
Lol can't wait to watch your reaction to the last two episodes 😂
Cassie is checking off another movie from my top 50 movie list with #21 The Rocketeer, love director Joe Johnston, you can see the similarities between The Rocketeer and Captain America The First Avenger... two of his best movies...
What happened to scott pilgrim and in bruges? Looking forward to beverly hills cop!
Both are on Patreon. I'm sure In Brudges might come to yt soon and Scott Pilgrim is yt this week
When will My Sister's Keeper be posted?
10 minutes 🤧🤧
Yessss!!! Was rewatching the Beverly Hills Cop trilogy recently with a different channel and adore the Rocketeer!! Great week!!!!🔥🔥🔥😁
Sorry for the bad info last week but Mr Chow in LV closed last year! I didn’t even know. Hope you found a good alternative and I hope that’s not what got you sick. 🤒
I highly recommend reacting to Police Academy (1984).
I don't.
As an east coast elitist I must thank you for your daystream
