Upcoming-LIVE on SATURDAY

TBR Schmitt did a reaction to The Lighthouse. My least favorite Robert Eggers film but still worth the watch.

Summer Movie Suggestions: • CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF (1958) • ADVENTURELAND (2009) • SUMMER SCHOOL (1987) • SLEEPAWAY CAMP (1983) • SUMMER RENTAL (1985) • THUNDERBALL (1965) • MEAN CREEK (2004) • CAPTAIN RON (1992) • SIDEWAYS (2004)

ANDOR!!!!!

For our next couple of Polls, I'll suggest the following: 1. 50s & 60s sci-fi Poll 2. AFI Top 100 Poll (Cassie still has not watched around 60 of these). She could randomly select (8) for a poll.

RIP Finding Forrester, only 16k views on YT.

Watched the first episode of House of the Dragon season 3. Excellent episode. Controversial opinion but I like HotD better than GoT, especially considering how bad the last couple of GoT seasons were.

The final Four War movies All need to be seen ! Suggestion- 0ne week do Andor Episodes- Longest Day-A Bridge Too Far. Another week Andor Episodes- Stripes- Dr. Strangelove.

Zzzzz

Deer Hunter won decisively in prelim war poll (results below) 3 months ago against some heavy hitters among patrons here. This preliminary war poll was on Patreon with much more patron participation than in the war bracket poll at the new site. The Deer Hunter – 391 The Dirty Dozen (1967) – 325 Empire of the Sun (1987) – 276 Heartbreak Ridge (1986) – 259 Kelly’s Heroes (1970) – 256 Flags of Our Fathers (2006) (w/Letters Iwo Jima) – 212 Downfall (2004) – 205 Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970) – 199

When will we be able to see the reaction to Spy Game on YouTube?

Just watched Citizen Vigilante. I dare youtubers react to this one cos it got banned in Germany. It's like Falling down of current era. I love it

I recommend Battlestar Galactica original and BSG reboot. Also, a very cool artsy film if you like period stories watch The Legend of 1900.

Maybe as a wildcard? :D https://youtu.be/zkmmaJb3l8I?si=aKqHcnWO4bS7Q_QT

So far the 4 War films are getting down to Dr. Strangelove, Stripes(Comedies) , The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far.(Historical Epics with All-Star casts ,both based on novels from the same author) What ever wins you should at some time check out all 4 of them.

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot ? Seriously with all the great movies out there to watch ? Lose the polls , they mostly give mediocre stuff . You have to upgrade your game and start watching some truly good movies , let people watch their own quirky favorites on their own time . I thought you wanted to catch on the greats that you missed growing up ?? The choices are worse . You must take over more often ,when your given a suggestion check it out first for gods sake

Andor! Thats such a good switch from GOT.

What time is tomorrow's YouTube Live, Cassie??

The 3 Vietnam War movies on AFI Top 100 = Apocalypse Now, Platoon, The Deer Hunter. Cassie reacted to Apocalypse Now and Platoon. No reaction to The Deer Hunter = a big gaping hole. While solid block of support among PiB patrons for The Deer Hunter, there are too many patrons unfamiliar w/The Deer Hunter, or don't like it, or vote against it to protect Cassie, etc. Stripes beating The Deer Hunter says it all. We'll never get reaction by Cassie to Deer Hunter unless PiB voting patron demographics change to be more favorable to Deer Hunter, and that very unlikely imo. I just don't see us getting a reaction to Deer Hunter -- the last remaining of the trifecta.

Well, shoot. I guess this means I'm going to have to start watching ANDOR myself now. THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT by Michael cimino (director of DEER HUNTER and HEAVEN'S GATE) starring Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges is a good movie, but the film that I am most looking forward to you seeing is ROAD TO PERDITION: a terrific gangster pic from director Sam Mendes (AMERICAN BEAUTY, SKYFALL) starring Tom Hanks and Paul Newman. Great performances, a lovely score by Thomas Newman and some of the nest cinematography I've ever seen courtesy of the late Great Conrad Hall. I can't wait for that reaction.

Planning anything special in honor of the 4th? It seems to be getting late for a poll, so I suggest you watch “1776” (and not just for Gwyneth Paltrow’s mother’s role in it, although she made 12-year old me want to move to colonial Virginia when I got older).

Andor is my favorite show of all time. You will love it!

2 days for each round...we'll be here awhile, lol.

Greetings Cassie & Family as well as her PIB Family and the rest of you who just happened to stumble upon this post, About Last Week: We made it 2/3 of the way through King Kong be my gf fell asleep in my lap the rest we loved Cassie reactions of Best In Show and Mission Impossible. We tried to attend the live events. Sunday we got in there and there was 750 people in there we would have to donate money just to be heard. Which my gf doesn't problem with except we just bought a trip to Greece. We also were drooling over the Catlin 1 shoe by Nike that's do out October 1. https://www.nike.com/t/caitlin-1-basketball-shoes-pCfNcrHv The Week Ahead: We get to see Cassie's first reaction to Andor a show we have been hoping she would do a reaction to since we saw the first episode. Road To Perdition great film you know what Perdition means don't you? Then we get the ClintEastwood movie Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. That's in a box somewhere in a our very full storage garage. We tried to make it to the live event on Wednesday but my gf was still working and she puts money on my credit card to pay to Cassie. She usually gets off at 7pm central time which now she will be home by 7:15 (just a FYI) because starting next week we will be in North Liberty, Iowa Your Moment Of Zen: As I said in my video last week (where I gave much love to Ben and Cassie) we have made it one of our top priorities to to get Cassie to watch a Sharon Tate movie. So without further a do here is Sharon's mom Doris talking about her Pain and Grief in the early 80's turning that into action by starting a petition to keep the Manson Family behind bars my gosh there must be hundreds of thousands of signatures there: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVXAr5ajFZ6/?igsh=NGhsM3dmaXJ1MHcy

Please watch Andor in their respective episode release groups. That show was not meant to be consumed 1 episode a week.

Vote at https://beta.popcorninbed.com/bracket/war-movie-bracket1) Jodie Foster on The Deer Hunter: “There is one scene in The Deer Hunter that I think a lot of people talk about … Christopher Walken and Robert De Niro had been captured … these are two boyhood friends they’ve known each other their whole lives … [in the scene] their bond is cemented even more. I remember distinctly sitting in the movie theater and you know weeping in the middle of this film with this scene and … feeling as if I was going to be changed for the rest of my life. That it was a moment of filmmaking that was so true … so real that I would never be the same.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoR00gmEYB4&t=12s

Another good week of movies. I don’t know if I’ll have the time for full reactions to Andor, but I’ll give it a try and see If I can fit it in. If not l’ll be watching the YouTube edits at least.

Ooof, this might be a couple of very early mornings to catch a World Cup game and the YT live on subsequent days... let see how this goes.

Sorry Cassie, I won't be able to make it for the Live this Saturday, I've got my own agenda to do! Maybe the next one if it's around Christmas time lol! As for me with Summer, ugh, I hate Summer! I just can't stand the heat, I prefer Autumn and the cold of Winter, I breathe better in the cold anyway lol! Really enjoyed your King Kong reaction last night, hope you saw my "lengthy" comment lol! Love and support🥰😇🙏🤗😉✌🌹

First three episodes this week? Heck yes. What a perfect reaction series for me to start my first week in my new house! I've been painting lots of room, installing toilets, light fixtures, drilling, sawing, trying to find the right size flange for my mother's shower pipe on Amazon, and Ikea cabinet assembling. Can't wait to finally install the inside doors, have some privacy, and cry the heck out of Andor all over again.

Looking forward to Andor. I still haven't finished season 2. Only made it 10 minutes into episode 2 before switching to something else. Think I wasn't in the mood for something so serious at the time, then completely forgot to go back and finish it. Definitely could do with starting over and watching along with Cassie. P.s. I really hope Cassie watches Ahsoka at some point. I think she'd like it, and there's one scene alone that makes it watch the watch!

I have no choice but to vote for Doctor Zhivago. Justice for Melchisidek!

I said I would sub for Andor and I have kept my promise….you are going to love this show...

Just one of the many holleing ANDORRRRR

Oh this lineup is awesome! I'm especially excited for a chance to rewatch Andor, loved it the first time.

Very excited for Andor!

What a great week. Excited you putting in the time to react to Andor first 3 episodes (the entire first arc) in a single setting. Will be more satisfying for you in the setting. Pumped about Road to Perdition. Looking forward to the YT LIVE. Package openings and live polls are always fun.

Even though you haven't mentioned watching the World Cup it's quite the day for Canada winning their first ever match in the competition. also still hoping on Escape To Victory 😂

I could have sworn you had already seen Road to Perdition

Andor!!!

Its happening....its really happening.....it was all built on hope...Andor!!

Space ships and violence…so much variety here it hurts 🙄

I saw Road to Perdition (2002) when it was first released in cinemas in 2002! It's a very good film that featured the final (on-screen) performance of legendary actor, Paul Newman! Enclosed is a 2002 BBC Parkinson interview with Tom Hanks promoting the film. It also features a wonderful interview and songs from David Bowie! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xYFeQZ5UCM

Enjoy Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974), Cassie! Enclosed is an BBC Scene by Scene interview with Jeff Bridges. He talks about Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) at 12:12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3P3dIyY4_0

ANDOR!!!!! Just fyi they're intended to be watched in 3 episode blocks

Really looking forward to the live, I'll be an hour late, but better late than never!

Hi Cassie, I sent a parcel to you that is due to arrive "by Saturday 20th June". Hopefully, fingers crossed, it will get to you in time!

PLEASE be watching the FULL version of Road to Perdition. The TV edit leaves so much of the story out.

Why’s that cat got a black eye? Or is it an eye-patch? ;-)

Welp, a skip week for me.

Good week of films Road To Perdition is fantastic, what a cast!. Bracket looking good for me all my picks are winning at the moment. I'll have to catch up on the live on Sunday hopefully it'll be there last few recent Lives have gone down or missing lol

Hope you're doing alright! May the summer sun melt all stress away. Hoping you enjoy Road to Perdition. One of my favorite films. Directed by Sam Mendes, one of the best ever in the game. And scored by Thomas Newman who has been nominated for sixteen Oscars and a fantastic all around composer. The music kind of makes the film for this one, imo. Along with the acting and cinematography. He also did the music for Cinderella Man, Finding Nemo, Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, 1917, Bridge of Spies, Skyfall, Wall-E, etc.

This is one of the best line-ups ever...for me, however, Andor takes the cake here. Might I suggest you watch Andor season 1 as follows: episodes 1 - 3, episodes 4 - 6, episode 7, episodes 8 - 10, episodes 11 - 12. To maximize your watching ezperience. If not, ah well. In either case, $%&@ing-A!!!

I hear there's been a lot of talk about future TV shows to watch. I heard that you did not want to watch The Sopranos. That is a great show, but my wish would be for The Wire. I know you would prefer shorter series like Andor. For comparison, The Sopranos has 86 episodes. Game of Thrones had 73. For further comparison, you watched Gray's Anatomy. Do you think you watched all 434 episodes and 5 specials. Star Trek The Next Generation had 178. People want you to watch (however many episodes of) Deep Space Nine, which has 176 episodes. So I think the 60 episodes of The Wire would be reasonable. It is a series that hooks you once you start. Love this weeks movies and of course, the beginning of Andor. I think you will really like Thunderbolt and Lightfoot because of the stars, and Road to Perdition, for the same reason! Still can't believe my long term Pick A Flick choice, The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming is in the war bracket! And of course it has the fewest votes. 😓

I joined your Patreon for Andor (thanks to Joe J for the heads up on another channel), though I’ve enjoyed your YT reactions for several months. I think you’ll love Andor. No spoilers, but it’s the best Star Wars content out there, and that includes the movies, in my opinion. That said, I’m not just here for Andor. Road to Perdition and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot are both excellent movies. I’m looking forward to both of those. Happy to be here.

Any ideas for posting a 1776 film for Our 250th? I could recommend the musical 1776, or the mini series John Adams. I think you already watched the Patriot right?

YAY Andor!

I take it this means you decided on a viewing order for Andor. Season one can be odd given its 3-3-1-3-2 format

The biggest nay ever.

Cassie just the 13th Warrior on YT or will there be others? Thank you

Please continue watching Clint Eastwood again in Dirty Harry franchise with Magnum Force.

Thought the live might start around 3mst and planned accordingly Oops! If we are late will we be able to watch from the beginning? Tks

Now this is a lineup to be celebrated! Three Hoorays for Cassie! Even better, Saturday’s live stream is perfect for our time zone over here. Very considerate and very much appreciated. 😊🙏

Didn't get my package off in time for Saturday, Cassie, but it's not my fault. The Royal Mail wouldn't've got it there fast enough and Fedex don't deliver to PO boxes. I blame King Charles and Chuck Noland.

Will the reactions to Spy Game and The Rocketeer be on YT soon?

I can't wait for Andor. I like having an easy way to re-watch a series quickly.

I miss the hell out of talking with you on IG. You got huge though. Understandable

I will crawl across broken glass to be there

Road To Perdition! I love this movie. Tom Hanks killed it (no pun intended). Tom plays Micheal Sullivan, an enforcer for the mob during the depression era. And let's not forget main Co Stars, Daniel Craig, Jude Law and Paul Newman Cassie's dad has GREAT TASTE 👍 👌 👏
