Hi friends!
Who else is crawling to the end of the finish line for summer? just me? We are less than a week away for the kids going back to school, and I have the "sunday scaries" for them and will be sad that it is so many hours away and back to early morning rush etc. but I am craving some sense of routine and structure so deeply. I cannot WAIT to have a more secure schedule, especially here on PiB! Planning to get back to a Monday through Monday schedule when school starts. Thanks for bearing with me during summer!
This week we have a big week here with finishing ANDOR and doing a Live Rewatch of Rogue One together! I am also so excited to watch our Pick a Flick Winner Rashomon and Ladyhawke which has been on my shortlist forever!
Trivia night was TOOO fun! Thank you all so so much for that. For coming and hanging and playing with us, to our mods for putting it all together and for spoiling Carly with some stuff from her registry. You guys are hands down the best community on the internet. Also was a good warm up for....
Tomorrow (Aug 15th at 2pm EST) I am participating in Kat Watches Horror Reactor Trivia Showdown! I am so excited and nervous. Mostly nervous for the tech stuff to go wrong because Ben is out of town haha but my first matchup is Hold Down A-will you come cheer me on? I literally have no idea how it will go, but it will be fun to do a reactor community event like this!

Sooo, I apparently have to upgrade to comment on the new update post? I know this has happened before, so is this another glitch, or is it now a new permanent policy (which, again, would make the free membership option rather pointless, IMO)? 🤷♂️

Man o man - Ladyhawke has been on the top of my requests (along with Regarding Henry) for so long. So glad that both of you will be watchin' it! Excited!
If the Rogue One reaction will be Monday, that falls into next week's reactions, right? Why was it listed on this Update...confusing.
Because Monday isn't "next week". Cassie keeps saying she wants it to be but it hasn't been for years, if ever.
The YT edit of Andor s2 1-3 is available on YT in case you want to see it
For anyone interested per Ben on the website @ YT uploads: This week (barring copyright issues) we will have Andor as well as The Truman Show & Obsession on YT. Keep in mind that our 'week' is currently skewed and is Wed-Wed right now. Hoping to get back on a regular Mon-Mon schedule in the next two weeks. Thanks Ben!!
Edits used to be turned around in a week, now it seems to take 2-3 weeks. I think Cassie's full-screen reactions, instead of the film showing on a smaller window like others use, is probably causing more copyright delays. Also, a small PiB water-mark on screen might help, I've seen others use these.
YouTube views- Just a note for those obsessed with YouTube views, starting August 24, they will mean even less and should go up dramatically. YouTube will now be counting one frame as a "view." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxzZbK2PKIM
If helps Cassie, okay then. But I’ll be pickier about what I click on.
I like how the ones you're watching with Carly you got marked with a lil label in the corner haha nice. And MAN! You became the finalist on the trivia show! I was rooting for you Cassie, came quite close to winning too, ya made us all REAL proud! Best part was when Kat was at the end solo carrying the shows closing all by herself and the whole group including you alerted her that we're all here with you Kat, and everyone arrived + appeared together. That's team work and genuine love. GREAT job everyone! I had no idea that 80% of the vid-reactors I watch knew each other!
When do we get the Black & White polls?
What happened to One Battle After Another?
It's coming. Imminent. Should be next.
Gone Fishin’ is a great, clean, fun one. Danny Glover. Joe Pesci. Even if ya don’t watch it for your channel, I’m sure your boys would love it. It’s just the right amount of fun and silly.
Yay LadyHawke! Been my Popcorn Pick of The Month for ever! I want your opnion on the Score of the movie as well! (Some people hate it, I LOVE it!)
A Perfect World, Cassie! Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!
I also really enjoyed The Blues Brothers (1980) reaction. Trivia fact: The iconic rock group, Queen, did a cover of Jailhouse Rock several times on the live tours over the years. Here is one from 1974! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to-CHWAbzC0&list=RDto-CHWAbzC0&start_radio=1
Labor Day is coming up- Hoffa (1992) would be good if the schedule isn't already full.
Mike I think you misspelled Indictment.
If it's OK to ask, Cassie, when will there be another YouTube package opening? No worries at all, just curious...
I loved your reaction to Dr Strangelove (1964), Cassie! It is my personal favourite Stanley Kubrick film! 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!!!
"You guys are hands down the best community on the internet." You, Cassie, are hands down THE best movie reactor!! It's why I don't subscribe to anyone else!
where do I click for Kat's battle? Oh I see a countdown timer on a vid on her channel... I wonder if everyone is familiar with all the channels 🙂 and/or members. ...and how could this possibly work?! 😆

Cassie, you will be great enjoy your day and a few more days with the kids before school satrs thanks Elise Eichlin form clarion pa
Wish I could have made it to Trivia Night. Life has been busy and chaotic lately and I haven't been able to hang out as much as I'd like too. Hopefully things will settle down. Fall and Spooky season is right around the corner and I can't wait to see what Cassie has planned this year🍁
Holy crap, Rashomon is on the schedule?! Awesome choice. Fascinating story about truth & POV. Think you’re gonna really dig it!
Winner of the Pick a Flick for August.

Hi Cassie, I think a break from routine is good every now and then, to get yourself out of a rut or give yourself a fresh perspective. But equally a return to that routine can be just as important. When you think about it, we are a funny species, we need both routine and change! Talking of back to routine, I know your slot schedule is quite full at the mo, but may we get a Popcorn requests poll in the next month? It’s been a while. If I’m honest, I haven’t had much chance to watch a lot recently and I am behind on Andor, so I need to catch up at some point. Life has been draining recently, especially with work, with one heat wave after another! Looking after family and friends. Worrying can be draining! But, it’s great that there is this little corner of the web where we can get away from it all and talk movies. 🤗 so thank you for my little safe space. Good luck with the Trivia showdown, you got this Cassie 💪 You are the best ❤️
Several people need to change their PaF picks now that Ladyhawke has been announced.
Richard, the ladies at Totally Whatever did a fantastic (IMO) reaction to Return of the King...and the first two films also. I guess they'll be watching the Hobbit films next, but these are much less interesting for me.
Ladyhawk is a favorite of mine! I hope soon you and Carly will do Breaking Away - 1979. Its a perfect movie for both of you! Hardly any cursing! lol
Breaking Away is a great movie.
Ladyhawke should be a fun, palette cleanser kind of movie. Haven't seen it myself, and hadn't even heard of it before this channel. But it sounds like a good time. Was thinking the other day how much I wanted to revisit Legend (1985), but this might be a good substitute. Happy Almost Fall Foliage Month!
I must be one of the few who has never seen Ladyhawk!
Can we get a "rule 6 - no pictures"? Pictures destroy every forum that allows them in comments. edit- context, in case the comment was deleted (but I have a feeling he blocked me)- Someone posted a pic right before this comment.
Not seeing any pics. Probably got deleted
Cassie, Family and Friends, . We are looking forward to have you some routine as well. During the last Andor recording you mentioned reading Romance books. I read Paranormal Romance books. Sookie/True Blood got me hooked 20+ years ago. I have actually seen the Pick A flick for the month. For those of you who don't remember or weren't born yet back in the 90's we had this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Da1aYGcM4Mt/?igsh=MW5kYW5oZjRnNDUxdg== My little sister worked at one. Make it a Blockbuster Night! Rashoman I thought was a good movie. However I think it will be too triggering for my gf. So we will just fall asleep to your reaction. Ladyhawke is a little too Sci-fi for us. So we will just watch your reaction. We realize that it's a pretty popular movie. Among people in this community So we hope you all have fun watching it. Andor and Rogue One we will watch. Perfect combo My birthday is two weeks away from today. You know what my one birthday wish is? That Cassie watch a Sharon Tate movie. You might ask what's so big about her? Well it's what the world lost. We will never know who we lost or what we lost. When she was murdered I imagine what her life would have been like had she lived. What movies she would have been in? Her baby was a week away from being born. She begged them to just let her baby be born then they could kill her. They showed her her no mercy. When the cops went into the house that morning. They saw the nursery almost finished. Paint brush in the tray waiting to be finished. I tell you this because it's important to celebrate some people's lives, by continuing their memory and legacy. You keep her alive. She's still alive as long as people still love her. A newspaper article detailing her funeral. https://photos.app.goo.gl/RPSE8NKeDfDqxmpu6 I wish you all a fantastic week.
Excited to watch you strut your stuff with trivia. I will be there cheering you on!
Summer has really gone by fast! Like warp speed 9 fast. I need to revisit "Rogue One" too...
Looks like some great films/TV coming up, Kong: Skull Island would be a good addition to monsterverse list. Was kinda hoping for more reactions from the raunchy poll but we'll get to them eventually I’m sure. Good luck on the quiz!
The rewatch of Rogue One will be fun. Be interesting to see if you're still really mad a Vader or if you have shifted to Krennic.
Ladyhawke!!! Nobody reacts to that such a great fantasy!
Looking forward to OBAA, awesome Andor (the final arc), and R1 rewatch. Hold Down A and you were the first two reactors I subscribed to (3 years ago back before I really knew about movie reactions).
My all time favorite 80’s movie with both of you ladies will make my day!! Etienne Isabeau Phillipe
Two movies I’ve not seen and a re-watch of my favourite Star Wars film after the original trilogy, not a bad week. Definitely looking forward to the MonsterVerse. And if you’re watching any more of the Japanese movies, but definitely can’t wait for Skull Island.
And on You Tube will be..........?
Good question!
Unbelievable! I never thought the day would come that you watched Ladyhawke. I hope you both love it.
Love OBAA, excited to watch it again with your reaction
We'll certainly be there to root for ya Cassie! Don't sweat it, you got this trivia match up. Just channel Choof and your bound to win!
If Cassie channels Choof, she'll definitely win!
Yes! Ladyhawke! So excited.!
Awesome lineup
Holy crap ;-) What a lineup! The best of Disney Star Wars, hands down! The epic finale. Will we also have a bit of a discussion at the end of your Rogue One rewatch? A short version of the GoT talk you did? Rashomon will be very interesting for me, because I'm not sure if I remember much, if anything, about the movie, but that will be fun to discover. Ladyhawke, oh my! Young Michelle Pfeiffer. OK, I was 12 years old and she was, what, 26 when she did the movie. But young boys tend to dream ;-) For us here in Bavaria, we are just in the middle of summer break. Kids here are due back in school around September 14th. A question from a non-native speaker: What are the "Sunday scaries"? And the monster movies the week after. Oh joy. Especially excited for "Shin Godzilla" - a slightly different take on the story, but I like it a lot. I still managed to hold out on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to watch it for the first time with you. At least the first episodes, after which I fear my binge-reflex might take over and I'll watch the whole thing in one go. Seems like I have to work on my self-control in that department ;-) I sadly missed the trivia night. I fell asleep while waiting for it to start. Stupid need for sleep, once again. But I'm totally planning to support you tomorrow at your matches - I'm really curious about the format. So best of luck in the contest, and Qapla'!
After the rewatch of Rogue One, you can close the book on Star Wars. Nothing else is worth watching.
False, and just negative bullying. Don't insult what people love is pretty great advice that should be handed down to younger generations. It's so childish. Especially considering Skeleton Crew has a 92% audience score on RT.
Can't wait to root you on! You need to go all Night King on them!
Rogue One hts so damn differently after Andor.
Was any of Andor meant to be deleted scenes for Rogue One? Or they came up with the idea way later?
I can't believe you're watching Ladyhawke! Been waiting and hoping for so long. It'd be great if you watched it with Carly!
Carly said she will be there.
I’ll be there for the reactor match! Go popcorn
The name of this channel should be changed to Popcorn in Bed’s Fantasy and old man movie channel to accurately describe what content is watched here now. It’s so sad.
Ah yes, famous fantasy movies OBAA, rashomon, Dr.Strangelove
I’ll be watching the trivia, but as I adore all the reactors, I can’t root for anyone. Of course I’ll be playing along at home trying to kick everyone behind. 🤣 Good luck
The trivia contest between Hold Down A is in the bag for you. Chalk up the win!
I'm subbed to them all, so I have no cause to root against anyone.
Looking forward to all of these. I’m always up for a Kurosawa movie, and Rashomon is a good one. Ladyhawke is a very good movie with a very bad ‘80’s prog-rock soundtrack by The Alan Parsons Project that completely clashes with the medieval fantasy setting. If you can get past the music, it’s a good movie. I’m really looking forward to the last 3 episodes of Andor, which include what I think is the best episode of the entire series. Rogue One hits differently after Andor.
I love the soundtrack for LadyHawke. :-)
Hey Cassie, I have a few recommendations for future reactions. Maybe for Veterans/Remembrance Day, how about viewing: Battle of Britain (1969) The Lost Battalion (2001 HBO) Sergeant York (1941) Flyboys (2006) The Tuskegee Airmen (1995 HBO) Memphis Belle (1990) Just some recommendations for historical viewing
Yes on Sergeant York !!
Andor finale AND rogue one rewatch in one week, you truly spoil us
Good luck tomorrow. I am excited for your post Andor Rogue One rewatch. I see Andor and R1 together as a 9 film arc much like the Skywalker series...just much better.
Team PIB for the win. No pressure 😜
Hope that Shin Godzilla will be part of next weeks monster movies.
I'm seeing in my mind that waddle... and those googly eyes... lol 😊
I just got back from seeing (for the first time) Train to Busan in a theater. I don’t think a movie has ever made me this much psychologically and emotionally exhausted
Oh i noticed that was at the theater today. Was wondering why?
Best of luck tomorrow!
Ladyhawke will be a classic watch !! Vastly underrated movie
