Upcoming
Hey kernel pops! Hope you are having a great week! I was originally as mentioned before going to take this week off as well for a family reunion, but it felt too close to the last time so I have reactions coming this week! More Andor epis and a fun one I was so excited to show Carly!
Yesterday a New Releases Poll went Live. It looks like OBAA is going to be the winner, I'm always excited to see Leo act but I might selfishly watch the runner up in The Sheep Detective, my kids just liked it so much!
Today is the last day to get your pick in for the July Pick a Flick! We will have the LIVE drawing on Aug 7th!
Coming up in the future, as I mentioned before we have finishing up Andor, Obsession, a Monster Theme week and starting the American Monsterverse (sprinkling in reactions) Once Upon a Time in the West (runner of from our War Bracket) Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, A Black and White Movie Poll, and more surprises! Then before we know it, it will be October!
Thanks for all who came to hangout at the Extra Butter-it was so much fun!
We are also planning our SISTER TRIVIA edition-It will be on August 11th! Trivia from movies I have seen with Carly, cant wait! I'm also going to have it be a little bit of a baby shower for her! :)
Thanks for all your comments and thoughts and interaction and fun-you guys are simply the best!
Cassie
ps-with editors and copyright jail, we are not 100 percent sure what will be on YT this week, what we can get to pass! Will be Andor and PeeWee almost for sure though!
Ps-who has seen Odyssey? Who has seen Spiderman since yesterday?

Why was my comment deleted? I didn't do that. Gotta love the double standards around here.
I haven't seen Odyssey yet but, I have seen Spiderman Brand New Day. I loved the look and feel of the film. The story was heartfelt and had plenty of on-your-seat action. I also like the franchise's future direction. The best thing is, the runtime of 2 hr and 25 minutes feels like an hour :)
Enjoyable as long as you switch you brain off and don't ask why the villain (who's totally not at fault) didn't just mind control the one person who mattered instead of murdering a bunch civilians

Has anyone else pointed out that Once Upon a Time in the West Was Not the runner-up in the war bracket pole? It was A Bridge too Far. I mean I love OUATITW...but it isn't a war film.
Once Upon a Time in the West won something but was not in the war bracket poll.
Just got back from "The Odyssey." I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a fan of this whole 'diversity for diversity's sake' casting that's become so prominent in Hollywood and went into it with trepidations given the red flags raised by some in light of its trailers... but I can honestly say it really doesn't affect the story as Nolan presents it. I feel the best comparison would be to Darren Aronofsky's "Noah," where if you're expecting a literal 1:1 adaptation, you're bound to be disappointed... but if you're open to accepting a more stylized adaptation from a particular filmmaker, it works. Just like Spielberg in his prime, Nolan is still doing no wrong, as far as I'm concerned.
So 5 minutes of Elliot Page didn't destroy the nearly 3-hour movie. Also, movie survived having black people (e.g., Lupita Nyong'o is 8 to 10 mins). I saw it in IMAX (not 70 mm) last night. The movie long but went by fast. I thought Matt Damon did great. Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattison were good. One of my fav Nolan movies. He crushed it w/his stylized adaptation.
When is the Pick-A-Flick drawing?
Hi Mark. Next drawing scheduled for Friday, August 7th.
Once Upon a Time in the West...... sweet!
These 3 recent reactions not too bad on YT views: *The Blues Brothers (1980) – 89k (5 days). Could break 100k. *Coldplay’s GoT Musical – 60k (5 days). Power of GoT. Good reaction. *U-571 (2000) – 58k (6 days) The 3 before (not the greatest YT views): *Andor S1:4-6 – 40k (11 days) *The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) – 29k (13 days). She seemed to really like this movie. *Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) – 24k (2 weeks). Could have skipped doing YT edit? --Escape from Alcatraz (Eastwood) or Eastwood's Pale Rider would do better? The 5 further before: *MI The Final Reckoning (2025) – 43k (2 weeks) *Road to Perdition (2002) – 44k (3 weeks) *Andor S1:1-3 – 52k (3 weeks). Broke 50k. *Cool Hand Luke (1967) – 62k (3 weeks). Not bad. *Best in Show (2000) – 41k (4 weeks). Finally broke 40k.
Getting "good" engagement seems more the exception now. I thought Road to Perdition would do better. Cassie will always make an edit for an Eastwood movie...but sadly T&L is one of those movies that's basically forgotten. Everyone has already reacted to Andor, so 40-50k per posting seems about right IMO.
Oh, you goofball! You had me worried. I just finished it.(did something else for a while) . I stand with what I said before. I saw the beginning of the ‘negative’ review and was afraid I’d be disappointed. They kept surprising me and I thought any seeming misdirections were executed brilliantly. To Delroy and Pinky! Btw…gotta beware of ‘negative’ sounding reviews. Imagine countless folks avoiding Home Alone because you said the tooth thing at the end was too much. Or “Don’t watch The Fugitive”, cuz they never showed the second trial at the end.. 🤷🏼♂️ Ok, I’ll shut up now.
Reading though some of these comments feels like one battle after another, am I right?? 😅😅 I'll see myself out.
Wait! I'm coming with you.
FYI to any other members of the Little Kernal Tier, the Endor reaction loaded to YT before Patreon so you can go watch it over there like me
She reacted to the Ewok movies?
Love your channel I love the Odyssey. I think you’ll love it. I’m seeing Spider-Man tomorrow. I can’t wait. Maybe you and Carly can react on your channel. Please react to F1. Bring it on if you have not seen it Maybe you can start Fast and Furious as the 25th anniversary is approaching and in honor of Paul Walker.
I’ve been bedridden for the last several months, so The Odyssey and the new Spidey aren’t options for me. But, if I could, I’d definitely catch the new Spidey. I think the Tom Holland Spider-Man films are the best so far, with the possible exception of the Spider-verse animated films. As for The Odyssey, I have little to no interest in seeing it. I was excited at first to see Nolan’s take. Then I saw the trailers. Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway? IMO, he should have cast it like Peter Jackson cast The Lord of the Rings. That is, mostly unknowns or little-knowns. He’s got one of the greatest stories ever told at his disposal. Let that carry the film. To me, “big stars” in such a film take me out of the movie. Also, when I saw the trailers, the photography looked curiously flat and monochromatic. And the armor and weaponry looked like something produced by a 3D printer. Perhaps it looks better on the big screen. But I was unimpressed.
Sorry to hear that, Bob. Hope things are better soon.
I must be losing my mind. I would have sworn that Cassie watched The Truman Show.
She has. It’s a rewatch because Carly hasn’t seen it. I’ll be skipping it as I do all the rewatches.
May I recommend Heist? (2001) *Carly Friendly.* Gene Hackman. Delroy Lindo. Danny Devito. Sam Rockwell. I’m not even done with it yet, but It’s Epic! Delroy Lindo really does steal the show! And all of the others at their best. Ya like a good heist movie. And the first thing.
Very good heist movie that gets almost completely ignored.
This comment section is becoming a problem. If you don’t like a movie - don’t watch it. If you’ve actually seen the movie, criticize it, but spare everyone your political or cultural agenda. If you do like a movie - also spare everyone your political or cultural agenda.
Some patrons behavior will never change. I just block people I find offensive or who just irritate me in general.
Fuck marvel and Spider-Man. I am Really done and worn out with superhero stuff shit. I’m more hyped for the ice cream man movie. Gonna be better than weapons
Let me introduce you to a little website called They Shoot Pictures Dont They? and wait for your life to be changed.
There isn't enough money in the world for me to see OBAA, The Nolan Odyssey or anymore Spiderman movies. Why do they run the same characters (Spiderman/Batman/Star Wars/Star Trek) and plot into the ground with endless sequels? Just to eke out a little more money.
Yeah or Indiana Jones fighting "duh nazeees" decades later with a special time machine, Lmao. Hollywood is filled with stupid criminals.
I seem to remember "A Bridge too Far" was runner-up on the War Bracket.
Going to see Spider-Man tonight, don’t really care for The Odyssey.
Are openly, overtly political posts now allowed? Because I am ready to go. (edit- comments not posts- Cassie has never posted anything political that I have seen) The same for calling people racist and/or gay with no evidence? That's not my style but it could make for some interesting comments. Or is that kind of stuff still only for the special people?
It has gotten really out of hand. I don’t think Cassie was aware of how much of a hot button topic The Odyssey has been for some. They are travelling this weekend so not sure they can keep up. Moderators can’t really do much.
I’ve been sick, haven’t seen either the Odyssey or Spider-Man yet. Hope to see one of them this Friday.
You’ve always been a sick man, Putz.
Odyssey was great definitely recommend.
Odyssey was great and Spider-Man is the best of Tom Hollands spidey films
I think it’s the best Spider-Man period
now that’s a Saturday!
Oh they're airing Saturday?
Cassie, please give Apocalypto a shot. It's no more gruesome than Braveheart (I think).
I would argue that, gc, but still a great film. Would probably do good numbers on YT too.
Best winner movie are harry potter and the goblet the fire winter's bone fly away home chitty chitty bang bang atter the flood wicked for good mortal kombat 2 song sung blue toy story beauty and the beast mary poppins the great race robin williams film called jumanji the a team movie hulk and peter pan 2003 fantastic movie's is best that was Cassie said
Heck yeah to The Great Race!
I would not call Truman Show "fun", but it's an amazing movie nonetheless.
Very excited for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
The Odyssey a box office juggernaut, and hasn't even been released yet in China, Japan, and Korea. Will be Nolan's most commercially successful movie. Projections for worldwide box office for The Odyssey are in the range of $1.1 billion to $1.5 billion. Spider-Man: Brand New Day should be strong competition. This weekend, I am going to watch The Odyssey at an IMAX (not 70 mm) a 5 minute drive from my house.
Box office juggernaut??? Most commercially successful movie??? It probably hasn't broken even yet. Plus Oppenheimer made about 10x it's budget, meaning Odyssey would need about $2.5 billion to match that. Just to make the same profit as Oppenheimer (roughly $750 million, $375 million after theater cut), Odyssey needs to make about $1.5 billion. Look, I get it, a movie everyone expected to do well is doing well, but you don't need to make it out to be the greatest thing since individually wrapped cheese.
"and more surprises!" I think I safely speak for everybody when I say- a watch of Indictment: The McMartin Trial (1995) would surprise everybody.
Wrong! I have seen it and therefore would NOT be surprised.
I have seen "The Odyssey" and will likely see "Spiderman: Brand New Day" in the few days. It will be interesting to revisit "The Truman Show", it's been a while. Will have to check if Cassie has seen "EdTV", which was a movie with a similar premise released about the same time; one of those occurrences. I am assuming Cassie has seen because of McConaughey. Glad that "The Sheep Detectives" is getting a viewing, it a bit of with some familar faces, and a couple of things I am actually interested in seeing Cassie's reaction.
She hasn’t seen EdTV. Definitely go see Spider Man, Mojo.
"we are not 100 percent sure what will be on YT this week" If only there were other video hosting platforms/sites out there...
Hi Cassie, I’m glad you seam well and rested after your family break. Just watching Andor at the moment and I’m really getting into it now. It’s been another stinky hot week again! And I’m seriously done with this summer heat now!! 🥵 but, I’ve got a few days off next week, watching “spider man” and catching up with some friends at the beach, so I’m looking forward to that. I know some people don’t like rewatches, but, I’m pleased you do them occasionally and “The Truman show” is another great movie to have on the channel. Carly’s reaction will be interesting. It should also give you some good YT views as well. I don’t know if you will remember this, but you did say you were going to watch “Paul” at some point? I think it was a runner up on a YT poll. It’s definitely a Cassie fun movie with the “Hot Fuzz” duo. I really hope you get round to watching it someday. 🙏 Anywho, have lovely week Cass. You are the best❤️
+1 for Paul, a fun road trip romp. Still hoping for her to watch Spaced as long as she’s watching tv shows, the series that introduced Nick Frost to the world.
Awesome news about Once Upon A Time In The West and a Black & White Movie Poll! You said we would get a "Monster Themed Week". What will that entail? Sounds great Cassie. Try to sprinkle in "The Odd Couple", please!
Haven’t seen Truman Show in a while. One of Jim Carey’s best performances. Also highly recommend it’s “twin” movie EdTV (1998) that came out the same time but took a more lighthearted perspective on the subject.
Could we Pretty Pretty Please narrow down a Specific Era for the Black and White films poll? Having a poll that features films ranging across a 100+ year time span is not fair to films from the 30s and 40s. Possibly do two polls? One for Golden Age Classics and one for Modern films?
No one cares about these movies. She shouldn't waste her time watching two. Alternatively, we can see if she can beat her record for lowest YouTube viewing numbers.
I loved your reaction to The Blues Brothers (1980), Cassie! In answer to your question at the end of the video "How did they get all those famous people to do it? They didn't know it was going to be a hit!" According to the director, John Landis, on the DVD making of documentary: "What was really sad but I suppose fortuitous for us, with the exception of Ray Charles, a lot of these blues artists weren't working. So it was easy to get them! We just asked them and they said "Please!", so that was not the hard part!"
Seeing Spiderman 2x tomorrow as well as the odyssey
all in one day?!
No worries Cassie, take all the time you need! I'm on the fence on seeing The Odyssey, even though it's one of my favorite Greek Mythology stories, I just hate Christopher Nolan lol! I could care less about seeing Spider Man because I'm still in Marvel Fatigue mode lol! However, after hearing the news from SD Comic Con, my "Boi" is finally gonna be part of the MCU! That's right, Ghost Rider is finally being brought it with Ryan Gosling portraying the role, I say good choice! Speaking of which, that's also a movie you must react to this Halloween, that one stars Nicolas Cage in the title role! Anyway, enjoy the family reunion, let's hope King Kong gets out of copyright jail and on to YT soon! Love and support🥰😇🙏🤗😉✌🌹
I'm looking forward to your reaction to Dr Strangelove (1964), Cassie, but there's no rush at all. I'm sorry you're having copyright issues on YouTube. I hope they get resolved.!
I sincerely hope you are not badly affected by the heatwave and there are no wildfires near you, Cassie!! It's been pretty bad in the UK; We have had separate heatwaves in May, June and July. It is thankfully cooling down now!!
Enjoy The Truman Show (1998), Cassie. It is directed by Peter Weir, the same director who directed Dead Poet's Society (1987) and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003). I REALLY recommend an early film he made in Australia, Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975). An absolute masterpiece! It is set in Australia on Valentine's Day/ February 14th 1900. Maybe it might be a good reaction to do next Valentine's Day 2027??
Truman Show will be fun. I think you've watched most Jim Carrey films, but unless I'm mistaken, not "Me, Myself and Irene". Is that one a possibility for the future?
Me, Myself and Irene is 26 in '26; And encouraged me to self-diagnose with advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage—no biggie
Im so pumped for OBAA but as others have said just have your mods ready for a faction of those who hate it for the absolute worst reasons imaginable
Ready to do what, Choof? Delete all comments that notice the film is about far-left terrorism, or something else?
Would be happy to watch OBAA again and see Cassie react to it, but the comment section will be unbearable. Already seeing it in the two recent posts that mention it, predictably.
It kind of reminds me of that tweet where someone said "heard that people were complaining pizza hut had gone woke and when I looked into it I saw they were just asking people to not eat the little plastic table that comes in the pizza delivery box." It's a bit of a nothing burger as far as I can tell and the passionate response seems entirely misplaced.
Blown away by The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Loved them both. That said, nothing I've seen in the last year has topped One Battle After Another. Somehow, it just kept getting better every time I watched it.
Hey Cassie can you please do The Negotiator with Samuel L Jackson and Kevin Spacey? I promise you'll enjoy it
Seeing Spider-Man this Sunday. Can’t wait.
"In case I miss the premiere; good afternoon, good evening, and good night".
I have an all-inclusive cinema pass but am eschewing the Odyssey because it's yet another desecration of European cultural heritage by woke Hollywood
You do know it's not a true story, i've not seen too many cyclops roaming around recently lol
Spider-Man is on tap for Saturday Night! Very excited!
We saw the Odyssey best movie of the year we saw Spider-Man yesterday second best movie of the year. The two movies were epic. Definitely worth going to see. We are headed to our cruise tomorrow so we don't have much to say. Flying to Norfolk, Virginia then going to the Bahamas. We went through all about 590 selections for the Pick- A-Flick yesterday out of the 590 picks at least 500 weren't repeats, movies she's already seen. So great picks most of you. One movie troubled us more then anything. This movie breaks one of Cassie's rules for grotesque violence and true crimes against children and that is: Confessions Of A Serial Killer. One of the killers in the film was responsible for one of the most infamous stranger child abduction cases in American History. Cassie does not to see this I am begging the censors pull this film. Have fun at your family reunion Cassie and Family. We are signing out of Patreon starting tomorrow morning. Oh btw everything I said about you guys in my video I made earlier in the week we (my gf and I) meant it. I guess I never looked it like that before. My gf is definitely a kind hearted soul. Take care you guys
They don't show the dates when they'll air, or am I missing them? lol
There's not usually exact set dates for releases. Sometimes the last movie listed ends up premiering first for some reason.
Looking forward to your participation in KatWatchesHorrorMovies' reactor trivia tournament on the 15th, featuring several other reactors I also follow. 👍
Good lineup this week. Obviously looking forward to more Andor season two, but The Truman Show with Cassie & Carly will be a real treat. Can’t wait! 🍿
I’ve seen The Odyssey. Saw it Monday. Great filmmaking on display, as you’d expect. I’m going to see it again 1st September in one of only THREE 70mm IMAX screens we have here in the UK, just to see what it’s like!! It had been completely sold out in all three screens, but the BFI IMAX screen in London added a handful of screenings at 2pm today. Had to wait in a virtual queue just to even get on the website, and even then, seats were disappearing as I clicked on them. Was finally able to book a seat, but had to settle for non-VIP seats, and much longer down that I wanted. Still looking forward to it though.
The Odyssey was slightly disappointing. Nolan was the wrong guy to direct it. It is a fantastical story and he doesn't lean into it enough with his more grounded sensibilites. The design of some of the creatures and the scenes involving them also didn't live up to my hopes. Denis Villenueve or Robert Eggers would've been better options to direct. I think most people who loved it haven't even read the story. Tom Holland almost ruined it for me. That guy is so out of his depth when he has to do serious stuff. Robert Pattinson killed it as always. Also, Elliot Page as a great warrior? Come on..
Nolan is an adequate technician (in some respects, he can't compose or block to save his life) but he is ultimately part of that professional elite class of reptilian, soulless anglos. Not the Etonian old-money kind, but Haileybury is kind of an aspiring Eton in its own right, and his pedigree shows in his writing and his directing. I knew when I saw the trailer what a cold, barren movie it would be, and it sounds like I was right.
A sisters trivia night sounds fun! Will Carly be participating? It would be fun to see you guys go head to head!
Please react to the 2nd place The Sheep Detective. Looking forward to Andor and The Truman Show. My 3 favorite Jim Carrey movies in order: 1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2. The Truman Show 3. Liar Liar (1997)
Replace #3 with "Man on the Moon" and mine is otherwise identical.
Greetings! That is a very nice lineup you have for us there. You can never go wrong with Andor, and now that the first three episodes of Season 2 are behind us, it only gets better and better. The Truman Show will also be a very nice rewatch. I haven’t watched it in a while, but it is fun every time. I’m still debating whether I should wait to watch A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms with you. But I fear that it wouldn’t help much, because once I start watching, I’ll probably binge it anyway. I just checked my calendar. PaF on the 7th can be locked in ;-) Whether I can join the Sister Trivia on the 11th will strongly depend on the time - it will be eight hours later for me. Are you planning a practice round for the trivia contest with Kat and Jen? I haven’t seen The Odyssey yet. I’m debating with Clay in the Extra Butter chat whether it is worth the 60-mile drive to the nearest IMAX, whether I should simply watch it at my local cinema, or whether I should wait for it to appear on your channel. Spider-Man sounds great, but I think I should rewatch the other Tom Holland Spider-Man movies first. I think I may even have missed the last one completely. Thank you for your channel and everything you do - and for all the gods’ sakes, if you want to take another week off, take it.
Truman show is a great choice!
Agreed. Although I don't think it's a "fun" movie.
Ohhhh....The Truman Show. I should've guessed that. The clue was referring to Jim Carrey, I'm assuming. Great pick. A classic.
Yeah, I’m looking forward to Carly’s reaction to it.
Btw was the runner up from the war bracket not A Bridge Too Far? Also i'd probably say that Raunchy Movie Poll will be the most fun, guessing thats a while off as it wasnt in the description.
Yes. A Bridge Too Far was the war bracket runner up not Once Upon a Time in the West.
Trying to throw us off in that live by saying there are other Canadian actors other than Jim Carrey for the clue 😀. Truman Show is a classic for sure and Andor has been a good watch. Enjoy your family trip
She was sneaky with that. lol
Truman show, one of Jim's best! Glad you're watching K.O.T.S.K. The humor and more grounded aspect of it pulled me in. The two leads are fun. Looking forward to the trivia. A lot going on. Love it. Gonna see spider-man this coming week for sure.
Both movies were fantastic...maybe the best July in the last 8 yrs... I cant wait for you to watch Knight of the Seven Kingdoms....this show was made for you....
The Odyssey was fantastic although to be fair I am bit of a Christopher Nolan Fanboy so maybe someone else didn't like it but I thought it was great.
I caught Spider-Man last night and thought it was phenomenal. Ready to see it again and again.
Odyssey is this weekend! Can't wait. Spiderman, nope. I'm sorry but superhero movies have been moved to "not watching at the present" list. I'm just over them for now. I haven't seen any on the new release poll, so I'm abstaining, will watch the winner with you though! Looking forward to that. Hope everyone is well and God Bless!🙏
The Odyssey I’m planning to see but I will see Spider-Man: Brand New Day on Sunday with my dad.
In today's culture I think The Truman Show is an allegory for social media and algorithms. Laura Linney is like an influencer and Kristof is the algorithm giving you what you desire
Ehh, sort of. I think this runs back into Baudrillard's objection to having his work referenced so heavily and so directly in the Matrix, though.
OBAA is highly overrated imo. But hey to each their own
I agree it's one of Paul Thomas Anderson's weaker films (and not because of its so-called politics), but anything to get him more attention is fine with me.
The Odyssey was a great theatrical experience 👏
Nothing says fun like Truman going through existential crisis ;p kidding
Lol. Exactly. It's such a classic though.
Since copyrighting and employing and managing editors is such a massive issue, consider adding some movies into your rotation from uncopyrighted sources. There are countless copyright-free movies you could watch from Mosfilm, Lenfilm, the Czech National Archives, Les Archives Nationale du France, the Slovenski Film Archive, the National Film Board of Canada and Cinemateca Romana, all of which your reactions to could be uploaded in full with no need to edit and which would fulfill your channel's primary mission of expanding your horizons. These movies may not be for everyone, but that's going to be true of any movie you put on, and it will save you a lot of hassle while also serving to broaden your horizons and even those of your followers.
My mother & I saw Spider-Man yesterday we rated a perfect 10 👌.
I’ve been waiting to see The Odyssey in IMAX. It’s still sold out. I saw some theaters are extending its IMAX run to September.
Good luck with the copyright stuff!
OBAA has a political agenda. My dad and I walked out on it.
That's...an opinion. Same could be said for lots of movies.
The Odyssey is incredible. A MUST SEE in IMAX! It’s a true rollercoaster of an experience.
The Odyssey was epic!
i saw spider-man yesterday and it was awesome! i already wanna go see it again :)
