HAPPY CANADA DAY!!! I am always homesick on the 1st of July if i’m not back in the motherland. I hope you canucks saw a parade, ate a poutine and a canadian slurpee and kissed a beaver. I am proud to be Canadian and am excited to visit in a couple weeks!
Our little city put on a drive inn move night and it was Sandlot on the most beautiful summer night and the whole parking lot was filled to the brim. People had lawn chairs and air mattresses in the back on their trucks/vans and it was so dreamy. My kids were like “someone should make a permanent one of these” and I told them “back in the day…” I couldn’t stop smiling and Sandlot is also SO good!
We had to pull a little switcharoo for uploads to accommodate Carly’s schedule so U571 will be tonight (4th of july-ish (??)) and Pee Wee will be this week! Along with Andor and Dr Strangelove! On YT it should be Best in Show, King Kong and Cool Hand Luke.
June’s PicK a Flick closed yesterday-we will have the LIVE drawing on 7/6 evening! Now you can officially enter for July’s! I’m so excited to see what wins:)
Sorry the summer schedj seems to be Wednesday to Wednesday, it just seems that’s the best for the fam and movie watching balance for the summer!
EXTRA butter Live will be July 27th and Patreon Trivia will be
Ok hope you all have a great week! Happy fourth on Saturday, I think we’re going to try and float down a river? No personal fireworks in Utah this year which is for the best in my opinion, it’s been very sad with the fires so bad and early this year!
Love you all,
Cassie
ps I will be taking off the week of July 14-21 when I go home to Canada and August 1-6 for a family reunion! Thank you so much for understanding and making this possible for my family.

The historical inaccuracies of U-571 are astounding.
I need the next Andor drop, it’s been like nine days! I’m hooked
Reposting my heads up about the ANDOR Season 1 finale POST CREDITS scene here too, just in case you happen to miss it elsewhere.
So will we get a Dr. StrangePork sizzle reel, as well?
Try and float down a river? You've been missing out. One of the best lazy ways to spend a summer weekend
Please consider watching 'Road to Perdition'
She reacted to it last week. Here is the full reaction (if you access to full reactions): https://www.patreon.com/popcorninbed/posts/road-to-2002-161843342
Canada always seems like America's twin brother so it's always nice to know we got a friend upstairs. Cassie, I hope you'll revisit Star Trek! Same way ya did it before, 4 episodes per season of NexGen, but prefaced w/five original episodes w/Kirk. Cuz you've literally haven't seen 85% of Trek!!
There are still drive in movie theaters, I go to one often. Sounds like a fun week!
Dear Cassie and the rest of PIB family and anyone who might be reading this Gosh in my hometown we used to three drive- through movie theaters. My brothers told me stories. So you are going to a be gone August 1-6. We are really happy for you. We will be on our cruise then so that's a good a time. My first cruise ever. About Last Week: So we have now watched both of them. As I said in my video yesterday we love Andor we watched it every week so we love that Cassie is watching it. Unlike GOT where we own banners, blankets and framed posters. It seems like we were so into Game Of Thrones but Andor never reached that level we just like watching. Now The Mandalorian and Grogu we really get into. She owns a Grogu doll that sits on our bookshelf. PBF see comment I just left. The Week Ahead: U-571 is a great fictional movie. It's like Braveheart where they take a real life event and fictionalize it. If you want to know what really happened with the Enigma machine check out World Wars II with Tom Hanks Episode 9 Secrets and Lies Dr. Strangelove is a really good movie. We didn't vote for it that doesn't mean we don't like it. Yeah we are keeping track of the Cottonwood Fire in Utah. Moment Of Zen: If we want Cassie to watch a Sharon Tate movie maybe it would be a good idea to see her in action in The Beverly Hillbillies she was in 12 episodes. In this episode she is wearing a black wig. I do own a copy of The Fearless Vampire Killers on DVD and on Amazon the DVD will be sent to the appropriate party. Check the details on my latest YT video. I don't feel good about it, however it did get a request. Here is Sharon in the Beverly Hillbillies; https://youtu.be/Lkfw9SGw57g?is=uxgUl7Sdz_GFv5ya
I watched The Beverly Hillbillies as a kid. Is that brunette Sharon Tate?
Happy Canada Day
Eh!
Cassie, it may be too late to call an audible, but 1776 (1972) is streaming on Disney+. It’s a terrific way to celebrate Independence Day on the Fourth of July. It may be too late to change your plans, but I thought I’d throw it out there as a suggestion.
Yeah, I've been trying to get her to watch 1776 for years. Don't think it's going to happen this Independence Day, but maybe the next one.
Who knew Jayne Cobb was a proud Canadian? :-| U-571 for the 4th of July? A little too on the nose, no? :-P :-)
Waitaminute... Canada Day? July 1st? Well then. It is July 2026, and I hereby advocate for *that* version of The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). [#019] Dedicated to Richard Maurer.
OMG, I just got scared by you. I turned on my PC and was rewatching back one of my own Tiktoks cause I was bored on my headphones, and suddenly I heard "aaaaaNNNNNNDDDOOOOR!" in a whisper while my Tiktok was ending. Sounded like a witch behind me! Then I realized I had your second reaction to Andor set up on my second monitor which was off to rewatch later. It turned out it started auto playing after my PC restarted, cause for some reason Chrome does that.

At least two of those are miniseries (different from a short series) and one is part of a 30 episode series (so not short).
Thanks for the Pee Wee clarification. Looking forward to that one.
are you not reacting to house of the dragon? or a knight of the seven kingdoms?
Hi, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is scheduled for after Andor is completed. House of the Dragon is not currently scheduled. But it is not ruled out.
It was a great Canada Day! Hope you all have a fun July 4th weekend - take care!
So is Andor Patreon only? She's up to Episode 9 and I don't think any of it has been on YouTube.
Yeah, I don't think any YT edits - her two Andor reactions so far (E1-3 and E4-6) not edited or posted to YT. Once her first Andor reaction is edited and posted to YT, we may see an influx of a few Andor fans as new Patreon members to watch the full reactions on Patreon.
If one of willing to overlook major historical revisionism, U-571 is a decent submarine flick. Really excited about you seeing DR. STRANGELOVE. One of my fav films and probably the only Kubrick film you'll actually enjoy. Peter Sellers (a.k.a. Inspector Clouseau from the PINK PANTHER films) is brilliant in his portrayal of three different characters (including the title role) and George C. Scott shows an amazing affinity for comedy. Can't wait for that reaction.
As to the kissing of beavers, you are really taking your life in your hands. After seeing the number of trees they damaged at my brother's home in Ontario, they are not with to be trifled with or taken lightly. Like most Canadians they seem pretty friendly and easy going unless you get on their bad side. As to slurpees I'm not sure which flavour makes it a Canadian Slurpee. I probably haven't had a Slurpee in years, but I used to love a Dr. Pepper one or root beer. I have a friend from Winnipeg who loves to Bandy about the claim to fame that Winnipeg is the Slurpee capital of the world and sells more slurpees than anywhere else on the planet. Some varied picks this week. All good stuff. Enjoy your holidays
Been making a lot of root beer floats lately. SO good.
I think Gone in 60 seconds or the first Xmen was the last movie I saw at a drive in theater....maybe it was one of them....had to be before 2001
Forgive me if this has already been said somewhere, but has there been a date established for when the YouTube edits of Andor will start being posted?
Starts tonight 7/8
Now the World cup is in full swing, here is the UK song that gets played a zillion times! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJqimlFcJsM&list=RDRJqimlFcJsM&start_radio=1
Happy CanadAmericaWorldCupTwoFiftieth Week! PIB may literally be a top five things I'm proud of the US for right now! Thanks to Cassie, editors, assorted Bens, and all the Kernels in the chat of course, as always!
Hi Cassie, I'm really sorry about this: I sent you a parcel for the YT Live but it unfortunately did not reach you in time. According to the tracking, it arrived at your address last week. It is a red, square box. Inside it is two packets of Cadbury Mini Egg Orange and four boxes of Hotel Chocolat Hot/cold drinking chocolate. The expiry dates for the Mini Eggs is July 31st and the expiry date for the drinking chocolate is September. So, it is probably best that you open the package now instead of waiting for the next package opening, by then they will have expired. I'M REALLY SORRY AGAIN. I wish I had sent the package off sooner. Jonathan Williams
Look forward to your reaction to Dr Strangelove (1964), Cassie! It is my personal favourite Stanley Kubrick film! I think you will really enjoy it. There are some behind-the-scenes production photographs in the STANLEY KUBRICK: A LIFE IN PICTURES book that I sent you. Photos of Kubrick directing Peter Sellers in his three roles and also Kubrick playing chess with George C Scott in between takes. Pages 93 to 103!!!
Suggested title for the next update: Uppenheimer!!!
Blues Brothers - in honor of Canadian Dan Akroyd.
If you live in the UK, that film is available on BBC iPlayer for one month
Ah yes, a lineup to die for! So much really good stuff there! And happy national holidays to you over there in North America! We here in Germany aren't very exuberant about celebrating our country-well, at least I'm not. But as a pharmacist, I really like the pretty colors in the sky, so my special holiday is Silvester (New Year's Eve)! I could definitely do without those grenade-grade, so-called 'Polish böller', though. In Regensburg, the town where I went to university (now 20 years ago-dear Lord, I'm old!), there is still an open-air cinema all summer long. I went there a lot. The timing of the live events this month sadly doesn't seem compatible with my timetable. Buhuuuu 😭. I just hope that my pick doesn't win this month, because I'd really like to witness that draw live, if that should ever happen. And finally, a question from a Bavarian: What are "poutine"and a "Canadian slurpee"?"
Oh dear lord, I read the phrase now a couple of times without any further thought. Unitl now . I can't stop laughing while typing now...tears are coming... "kissing a beaver"...
Belated Canadian film poll when? David Cronenberg, Guy Maddin, Atom Egoyan, Sarah Polley, there are plenty of outstanding Canadian directors making movies in and about Canada, not just expats in Hollywood!
James Cameron is actually Canadian.
Signed up for Cassie’s reaction to Andor and I’m PSYCHED for the reaction for the next two weeks. I think she’s really going to like how the show goes and I’ll admit I kinda hope it radicalizes her lol! That would be *delightful*
Phrases from Andor were used as protest slogans in protests against ICE raids and the associated deployment of federal police/troops to American cities.
Does Cassie post YT reactions while on vacation...I can't remember.
She always has at least a couple things banked up to post later. Editors work independently, I think.
If you tried to kiss a beaver wouldn’t it eat your face off?
Imagine what a 44 magnum would do to a beaver from that distance
Hi Cassie, so pleased you are getting some family time back home in Canada. You work so hard, trying to keep everyone happy. Enjoy your time off, don’t worry, we will be here when you get back. I’ve slipped behind again on the reactions, due to work commitments, I still haven’t found time for “Andor”! But will soon I hope. Im also watching a lot of the World Cup at the moment. As painful as it is being an England Fan! BIG game for Canada against Morocco on Saturday! Beat them and you are into the Quarters! Cassie I fear I may need cheering up after England’s game against Mexico and I truly believe the best way to cheer up your English PiB contingent of fans is, a reaction to “Lock Stock and two Smoking barrels” the first, the original, it’s even better than “Snatch” come on Cassie, you know it makes sense! 😉 You are the bestest ❤️
Happy Canada Day to you and to all the Canadians on here (I’m not though lol). And to my fellow Americans, Happy 250th Independence Day on Saturday! As I enjoy my week off from my job (plant shutdown), at the same time, we’re getting a brutal heatwave. 🥵 And on a hockey note, for your first round pick Ethan Belchetz, he has committed to play for us Spartans so don’t worry, we will take care of his development before stepping on the ice for Utah lol. (We had 5 players drafted in the first round and they are all coming to play for MSU next season so holy crap) Anyway, tally ho folks!
How about a live World Cup final commentary watch-along? I think that would get hella views!
Sandlot at the drive-in. Sounds great. The scene where they're playing at night and all stop to watch the fireworks. What a VIBE. Lineup looks good. Hope you enjoy your time back home up north!
I need to watch that again. Been so long. For some reason all I can remember at the moment is the scene where they all get on the tilt a whirl and barf.
I think Canada must be one of greatest countries in the world simply because you were raised there. Like a garden with bright flowers. Looking forward to multiple reactions to the fims on your list. Particularly Cool Hand Luke. Newman's performance - Wow. ❤️ and Best WIshes.
Cassie was born in the USA.
I need to speak to the manager, please! I just tried to enter my Pick-a-flick for June/July and no matter what film I put in the Search box, nothing comes up. Please fix this for me but not for everyone else. There are only 27 movies on there at the moment and I like the odds.
The number of entries will increase dramatically after the auto-rollover of entries from June. The "Search for a movie to pick" doesn't seem to be working.
Happy Canada Day, Cassie. I think this would be a the perfect time to celebrate your country's favourite pastime by watching Slap Shot with Paulie. I've been to a drive-in one time and that was to see Grease. Unfortunately, we never got to watch it because the pikeys who were paid to bring the massive cinema screen down from up north decided to abscond with it instead. They would have to have shelled out for a massive caravan so it would fit it in the living room, though, so the joke was on them. A second week in a row with nothing on the schedule for me, which is almost becoming a drought. Then again, you've pretty much been waterboarding me with great content lately, so I cannot complain. As for kissing beavers.....why does that remind me of The Naked Gun?
Andor's mature, dialogue-heavy political thriller format deviates sharply from the traditional, action-adventure formula of Star Wars. You should give Andor a try if you subscribe to Disney+. The first arc (S1 first 3 episodes) is relatively short (goes by fast) = E1 (40m), E2 (36m), E3 (40m).
Oh she's gonna be mad mad when she gets to Andor episode 9 and realizes that story arc doesn't end until 10.
E10 is awesome.
More War movies and space lasers! Shocker.
Clearly never watched Andor.
Excited for Andor. Enjoy your time off in late July and early August to do your family stuff.
Maybe bank up another batch of Andor before heading out, lol.
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb & U-571 or: Stolen Valor the Movie
U-571 is fiction, dude, and it's not like the Americans didn't capture any U-boats, ffs.
Happy Canada Day, PaF is popular this month I’ve just recently changed my pick to Senna (2010). Dr Strangelove is a fantastic movie I hope you like it.
+1 for Senna
OMGOSH! What a good lineup! Have a great vacation, hopefully temperatures are better in Canada, it's a hundred degrees in NC today.
My pick a flick suggestion this month was Robert Altman's Nashville (1975). It's all set in the lead-up to the bicentennial celebrations so I think it will be perfect viewing for America's 250th. It is one of the great American films. Have a great weekend!
Brilliant film to which no one ever reacts. I worked as an extra for 2 days on Robert Altman's final film (" A Prairie Home Companion"). He walked right by us as we were leaving the set one of those days.
Minus the bugs Drive-Ins were the best! Saw all the 70's blockbusters at our local one that, BTW, is still l open!
Ahh, the good old days, miss them alot!
I don't know what I'm more excited for: episodes 7-9 of Andor, or Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb!!!
We still have a drive-in in my town, one of the last ones in the state.
Same!
Please for all that is holy (and unholy) do not roll over pick a Flicks to July. If patrons don't re-select a movie they are outta the pool!
I wish.
happy canada day
Hey popcorn family and friends. Sorry I haven't been around to watch or talk much. I'm still lurking but I have so much more time with my daughters then I had before and its glorious I hope everyone is ready for 4th and to you Canucks hope you had a great Canada Day. Miss Cassie and you guys so hopefully I'll be on more when daughters are beck at college and school
When you’re ready to come back, we’ll be here. 🙂
Hi, enjoy your vacations, it's the best part of summer. (Only good part IMO, just too hot for me). We still actually have a drive in, double features on the weekends. Usually full to capacity most nights I go.
Man, shame that A Bridge Too Far gets no love for all those votes it got across all the stages. Maybe one day it'll get watched.
In the recent Andor reaction she said it might get watched too
I have been waiting for Dr Strangelove since I started watching, stoked!
No Pee-wee! 😢 Oh wait still upcoming !! 😃🎉….LOL!
I recommend Catherine O'Hara again in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Awesome sequel to enjoy 😉.
She's featured heavily in the new Martin Short documentary. Was really nice to see her again. RIP.
Glad to see Pee-wee is on the schedule for next week, I was worried.
No prob Cassie. Enjoy and be well all 🤞🙏❤️
Never been to Canada... The way Cassie describes it, makes me wanna go. I don't know about the kissing a beaver part 😂
Drove through middle of Canada once. Absolutely stunning and CLEAN, not a cigarette butt or single candy wrapper to be found on the ground anywhere in roughly 1000 miles
Gotta love those Cassieisms! Happy Canada Day!
I am dying for the Project Hail Mary reaction
She had already seen it. She saw it opening weekend in theater
Happy Canada Day! Enjoy your time with family!
Stanley Stanley he’s our man if he can’t do it NO ONE can!!!!
I did eat a poutine lol
Kissing beavers sounds dangerous, their teeth are very sharp
Like four big Chisels made to shear off pieces of solid wood. Probably the worst bite you could get from an animal of their size.
