Upcoming!

Yellowstone

House of the Dragon next

Hi Cassie, have you still got the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser that was sent to you at the last package opening? I was thinking of sending you some chocolate sachets for it!

How did someone get the series Arcane (2021) into Pick a Flick? And why? Did they really think Cassie would be forced to watch the series if it wins?

I just saw that Ironmouse hasn't seen Legend, one of Cassie's promised reactions. Perhaps a collaboration between the two worlds?

Short Series: Frieren Invincible Daredevil Wednesday Chainsaw Man Penguin

Eastbound and Down or The Wire for your next show. Nothing else should be considered, except maybe to catch a predator

The Insider is a really great film.

You could not have picked a BETTER time to watch THE INSIDER what with all the drama happening at 60 MINUTES right now as CBS continues to spiral as a network lol

Any plans to continue with House of the Dragon and/or A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?

So glad game of thrones is finally over with

I don't believe it's much of a stretch at all to apply my favorite line from Cool Hand Luke to the GOT finale. "What we've got here, is a failure, to communicate." Looking forward to both! 🙂

please watch the irish movie< THE SNAPPER> second best comedy of all time

So glad to see another great movie from the 1960's on the channel. As much as I love the old 30's/40's movie eras, the 1960's movies are the ones I saw as a child when they first came out, and I saw a lot of them. Anything to get more 1960's movies on the channel. They really bring a lot of nostalgia for me. If only we had a poll . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Can't wait for the GOT finale and to hear all your thoughts, and everyone's thoughts. It will be epic in more ways than one. The Insider will be fantastic too, and with Carly, extra special. Another banger week coming up!

Hi Cassie.. as for the GoT LIVE .. are you talking about next weekend as in 13th or 14th? I really hope so. Im off next weekend and definitely dont wanna miss your LIVE event. I definitely have some questions for you. Its so bitter sweet that youre finally here at the end of GoT. What a journey its been. I want to thank you for encouraging me to re-watch the show with new eyes. I really liked the final 2 seasons a lot more now that I got to share the journey with you. Your can-do attitude rubbed off on me. So thank you. :)

Fantastic Line Up! The Insider is one of my favorite movies. Never seen Cool Hand Luke, so that'll be a cool watch a long. While I have my opinions of Season 8 GOT, I have really enjoyed Cassie's reactions and takes on the show.

If you haven't seen Project Hail Mary yet, it might be the comedy that makes you laugh as much as Hot Fuzz.

Cassie - for your next series reaction I’m putting in a recommendation that you watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer after Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. You’ll like it more than The Sopranos (for instance) and both series do similar numbers on YouTube, so why not watch the one you’d enjoy a lot more.

The link to the The Official Unofficial Poll Suggestion Post has disappeared from your front page, I'm pretty much the only person left using it : https://www.patreon.com/posts/unofficial-poll-142380331

You could react to S1 (13 episodes) of Sopranos [IMDb 9.2, RT 92%, RT Audience 96%] and then decide if you want to continue. I think you would be captivated and want to continue. You seem to relish good writing. Writers Guild of America voted Sopranos #1 Best Written TV Series all time. Plus, Rolling Stone = The Sopranos #1 Best TV Show all time, TV Guide = The Sopranos #1 Best TV Show all time. Would bring in large number of paid Patreon members. Sopranos had resurgence during pandemic, adding to the already massive hardcore following. First-time viewers (young adults + older) jumped on Sopranos bandwagon during pandemic. I heard it from my young adult kids – how Sopranos became popular among their friends. I was initially like what? - but then not surprised.

Looking forward to CHL (congrats Clarence) and The Insider. GoT has been a great ride with you. Your planned series reactions after GoT: 1. Andor (awesome) 2. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms 3. [Next?] - I vote Sopranos or The Wire, but will be fine w/any iconic series of your choosing. I just love you reacting to the series (TV show) format. The Wire [IMDb 9.3] = a favorite of President Obama. CBS interview: Interviewer: “Settle an office debate. Best 'Wire' character of all time?” Pres Obama: “It's got to be ****, right? I mean, that guy is unbelievable, right?” Pres Obama: “And that was one of the best shows of all time."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw6owu-U7wU Since you liked Weapons, you're gonna love this one more.. Do it with Kat this halloween!!

I missed the stream yesterday.. Who won t he drawing requests pick of the month?

Andor. S1 episodes average 45 minutes. S2 episodes average 50 minutes. For Andor, react to 2 episodes/week. Don’t cram in 3 episodes. Not necessary. For Andor, 2 episodes per week is perfect – just enough for you to absorb and retain for the next week. The continuity will be good. At 2 episodes/week, you will be cognizant of the arcs and timeline = easy, sensible.

You, Me, & The Movies busting out a reaction to Phase IV - ant based sci-fi from 1974. Currently has one upvote on Requests (mine, of course).

Miserable May is over, and Clarence was granted his second-favorite movie. Why is this jogging my memory? ? ? ? Ah, of course! It is June 2026, and I hereby advocate for *that* version of The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). [#018] Dedicated to Richard Maurer.

For anyone that’s interested in reading the article that formed the basis for “The Insider”, here it is. https://archive.vanityfair.com/article/1996/5/the-man-who-knew-too-much

I just watched The Insider a month or two ago. It was ok. I've already kinda forgotten about it. Cool Hand Luke slaps. Newman is such a star. God speed on GoT finale...just remember the series kicked ass until the last season lol it was a fun ride rewatching with you for the first time

I am so happy to see Cool Hand Luke up there.

Greetings to Cassie & Ben + Family as well the PIB family and Cassie's viewing public I just realized that I have to send Cassie an explanation email tonight but I have to wait till my gf Eva gets home to make sure I say the right thing. About Last Week: Yeah I have had a day my Dad had a Cochlear Implant done so he can hear better. So I spent the entire day at the hospital. However we did manage to get everything watched. BH 2 had us rolling. I hate when I am right about TV shows. I had everything predicted about GOT and gotten it right. There was only thing I wanted to happen in the last episode. Now to Once Upon A Time In Hollywood so Sharon played Margot Robbie wonders into a movie theater to watch The Wrecking Crew ( 1968) with the real Sharon Tate in it. This is something that real Sharon Tate would have never done (except for being barefoot) I had to cut this down so I wouldn't ruin it. However this one of my requests. https://photos.app.goo.gl/uyjV1HTDd8vwc1x57 This is us trying to get Cassie to watch a Sharon Tate movie. The Week Ahead. Two movies we love The Insider and Cool Hand Luke, we can't wait. Then we have The Iron Throne in Game Of Thrones. There was one surviving grace about this episode. I just can't say what it is. Not yet anyway. We look forward to watching the last episode with her. No matter how much we don't like it. Your Moment Of Zen: My gosh does Sharon look so beautiful in this interview. I think the earrings she is wearing Margot Robbie now owns. Sharon's smile is so beautiful in this interview and she looks so stylish. She makes me want to keep fighting for her to keep her memory and legacy alive. https://youtu.be/YE36L3FVEME?si=XHLYLNk0Mul79xml

Cassie, thanks for the surprise live last night. It made for a great finish to a less than stellar day!

Cassie, I started watching Game of Thrones because of your channel. When it first came out in 2011, I had absolutely no interest in it. Looking back, that's a little surprising because I enjoy fantasy stories, knights, sword fighting, King Arthur type adventures, and all that. What originally turned me off was some of the information I had heard about the show, particularly the amount of nudity and some of the more adult content. But after seeing your reactions and discussions, I felt comfortable giving it a chance. It's definitely not something I'd watch with my young grandchildren, but it's something I could enjoy with my wife and other adults. Once I started watching, I was hooked. The character development, the storytelling, the political intrigue, and the way the different storylines come together are simply amazing. In fact, I became so interested that I ended up passing you in the series because I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I binged episodes much faster than I expected! You've truly made a fan out of me. Yes, the show can be rough at times. Some of the content is necessary to tell the story, while some of it feels like it was added more for shock value. Even so, it's an incredibly well told story from beginning to end. There are a few glitches along the way, but no series is perfect. Thank you for introducing me to something I probably would have ignored forever. I can't wait to have a full discussion about it during a PIB Live. I'm also looking forward to discovering more movies, television shows, and miniseries through your channel. Until then, I'll be over here watching with a bowl of popcorn! Doc Larry / Old Geezer

Really great lineup this week. I think you'll love cool hand Luke and although the insider is not a typical Carly film, you guys will appreciate the important true story aspect 👍. Think of a more serious version of Erin Brockovich without the quirky main character and comedic elements. Lovely to hear that you spent some time getting your hands dirty in the garden and rediscovering it's rewards. A bit of love and patience is all they need to flourish and you've got an abundance of both. You grow girl 😂

The Insider is my favorite Michael Mann film. The cast is stellar.

Barbarians at the Gate (1993) would make a good companion piece reaction to The Insider. It’s the true story of the leveraged buyout of RJR Nabisco, inventors of the “smokeless” cigarette.

When do you think The Rocketeer (1991) YT edit might be uploaded??

Great week of films and an end to the GoT journey, it's been really enjoyable watching it back. Hopefully Andor is half decent, ideas for future shows. Lost perhaps or delve into some Brit comedies and do Cunk, IT crowd etc (maybe in far future). Shame I’ll miss the PaF & GoT lives but I’d say the odds aren't great to having the winner lol. Perhaps we'll get a few of those GoT comedy skits watched on that particular live.

Oh YES we finally get The Insider!!! You ladies should definitely feel like you’re watching All The President’s Men again with this movie.

The Insider with Carly too?! Fantastic!

Cassie, you are spoiling us! What a week!! I just watched BHC2 which I even waiting for since you watched the first. The Insider has been my number one request for some time and to say I’m excited would be an understatement. Yes, I think it’s a Carly movie. Now this might seam ridiculous to some people, but I didn’t quite understand some of the plot the first time round. (I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed!) I think there is a bit of legal jargon as well. So Yes for Carly, on the basis two heads are better than one! 😉 Im excited for CHL as well, maybe not as much as Clarence! But can’t wait. GOT…. Normally I’m excited for that too, but after the last episode I’m now seeing some of what other people having been saying. For all its faults, I’ve enjoyed season eight so far, until episode 5! So I’m nervous now about this last one! Glad to hear you have gotten out in the garden. In the right conditions it can be a lovely way to while away a few hours. It’s pretty much my job these days, as Im mostly not doing so much tree work anymore (getting too old for that game!) this week has been large raised beds, sleepers, weed matting and decorative bark to finish it off. I’m one of those people who are never happy with my finished product. But at least the customers always seam very happy. Anywho, I’m really excited about the week ahead. Thank you so much. You are the best ❤️

Oh, and you picked up the idea of a GoT live talk? I hope you can do it over the weekend - that would greatly increase the chances for us Europeans to join. We are a small but growing group ;-)

Ah nice, just back in from the movies (The Mandalorian and Grogu), and Cassie is waiting with an Upcoming post. And what do my weary eyes see? Cool Hand Luke? That is going to make someone’s day ;-) And it isn’t a bad movie either ;-) And the end is finally near - the last of GoT! I really hope you can/will enjoy it till the end. Not like many of us grumpy Guses...

What's your dirt doin in his ditch?

COOL HAND LUKE!!! THE INSIDER!!! game...of...thrones...season...........8...

Very happy The Insider is coming to the channel. The cast is amazing all around. Will Carly like it...? Good question. Not totally sure. But I've heard some news about 60 minutes lately and woke up this morning thinking about this film, and was wondering if she would enjoy it before I read the post. She may find it a bit scary and stressful, not quite in a horror movie kind of way, but in a different way. Think I would put it in the same category of movie as The Contender. Similar vibes.

THE INSIDER!!!!!

Yes The Insider is one of Michael Mann’s best, short of Heat obviously. CHL is a stone cold classic and I’m kind of sad the GoT run is ending. Though for wildly different reasons this time. With Season 3 of HOTD coming up, it may be on the roster in the future. Fingers crossed.

Glad to see Cool Hand Luke...for a moment I thought we had a failure to communicate

If you love Newman in Cool Hand Luke Cassie and you and your sister will LOVE The Long Hot Summer with him and his real life wife Joanne Woodward.

Goodness gracious great balls of fire, my tugboat has finally made its way into harbour. Thank you, sweet Cassandra. You have made a happy man very old. May your reward for this gift to the reactorverse (and personally to me, because, let's face it, my wheel was the squeakiest) be that you are never sick another day in your life. I do have to give you a heads up, though. I didn't do a good enough job of that on Officer and a Gentleman two years ago and poor Carly has refused to watch a movie since that is not certified Double-Disney. I take it that's why she's watching The Insider with you instead of CHL. Therefore, here's my fair and timely warning about Cool Hand Luke. Please remember that this is not just any old Paul Newman. This is Paul Newman IN HIS PRIME. I kid you not, missy, once you've watched this film, Brad Pitt will look like John Malkovich and Jon Snow will look like Sandor Clegane. Consider yourself warned and for goodness sake, do NOT watch HUD (1963)!

COOL HAND! Rainndrops keep falling on my-- --Oh whoops wrong movie!

It’s not for everyone but I think you might like Twin Peaks (a bit scary but not even close to the shining or IT) plus a fair amount of romance

Looking forward to CHL.

Thanks Cassie! We all have a lot to say about E5 haha

Cassie - appreciate you using Requests for the latest poll, hope there’s many more to come. One small tweak I’d like to see is increasing the number of films the random number generator has to pick numbers for. 100’s okay - 250, 500, 750, even 1000 are better. That might seem a lot but there are many good, popular films spread out amongst the top 1000 - at the very least.

Does the end of GoT mean more movies?? (I hope!!)

Best pair of movies in ages

Cool Hand Luke is one of Newman's best movies and roles in my opinion. A compelling character study. So glad it's on your reaction schedule.

Excited for CHL

"I also finally visited the greenhouse and planted my flower pots and beds." In the last few years, I have really taken to planting flower seeds. This year I purchased about 12 huge ceramic flower pots and planted a lot of pollen rich flower seeds about a month ago. They are really growing now partly thanks to the recent heatwave we had in the UK!

The Insider, Crowe's best performance and a fantastic film

Cool Hand Luke!!!!!! Awesome movie that deserves more recognition among younger audiences

Looking forward to the finale of GOT, hoping it’s Gilly on the Iron Throne this time. Crosses fingers

Cassie, I know you said you would be starting Andor soon (Wooooooooooooo) Something for yourself before watching the show would be to rewatch Rogue One. There is a number of visual and dialogue language from the movie that shows up in the show. Good to have a refresh before going into the series.

Do you want to watch another drama TV series after you finish Game of Thrones, Cassie?

“Kings Landing when the walls fell.” 😢

Is the next YT Live still going to be on June 20th, Cassie? No worries if you need to postpone it, I want to send you another parcel!

Paul Newman was one cool customer. Recently watched a few of his other classics I hadn't seen in a while ("The Hustler" and "Nobody's Fool") . Had a presence about him, and a kind soul. Excited for the CHL react. Catch-up is fine with me. All good things come to those who wait, as they say

Finally the end to GoT, Cool Hand Luke looking forward to rewatching it as it been a while and Insider is one those I’ve never gotten around to watching.

The timing of The Insider couldn't be more relevant (60 Minutes).

waiting patiently for DS9…

Now we're talking...some great ones!

Yes please do a GoT wrap up livestream. Would love to hear detailed thoughts on it all, favorite and least favorite characters and moments, things you wish you could’ve seen in the show that never happened, etc. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching your GoT journey. It’s bittersweet that it’s over (remember the GoT universe lives on! There’s still the 2 prequel shows A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon, as well as more to come!)

If you are ever open to yet another trial editor, I've messaged before that I'm interested. Maybe it fell through the cracks. I'm sure you have it covered but just in case there's another opening. Just putting it out there.

Maybe now you can move on to a proper show, like The Sopranos! I'm looking forward to The insider. One of the great films of the 90s but no one is reacting to it for some reason. Carly's first time ever(?) seeing Al Pacino in action. Should be good.

YES. Carly would like The Insider.

Ooh some great films this week! "The Insider" might just be Russell Crowe's best work, and "Cool Hand Luke" is a must for Paul Newman fans. Can't wait! P.S. Are you aware that "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" is still on the beta app's leaderboard?

The Insider! Finally! One of the most overlooked films of the 90s, I think, and a film that resonates so powerfully in our current media landscape. I'm so looking forward to re-watching this with you xx

I recommend Daredevil series with Carly.

Cool Hand Luke !!!! Finally ... need to have my car washed for some reason ....
