Hi friends, ! How are you? I’m having a bit of a sad week, one of my kids is in a bit of a crisis with his autoimmune again and I feel pretty helpless and stuck about it. The good things Im focusing on this week were the smell of a fresh rain, a new fall drink at my fav drink place, ordered a halloween puzzle and planned a night with friends to do it and the kids crying laughing trying to pull a prank on me. What were your good things?
Did anyone watch the emmys? I saw Widows Bay swept, have any of you watched that? I think I might have to now-one friend told me it’s scary and she can only watch during the day! I also saw the adorable Knight of the 7 Kingdoms' two lead stars on the red carpet and just fell more in love with them!
Speaking of them-this week's uploads will be the last two epis of KOT7K and our poll winner Citizen Kane, and GODZILLA! Next week will be cellular (our PaF winner), Clerks and A Bridge too Far! This week will also be our first Scary but not too Scary Poll! Classic Horror-make sure to go vote!! I have a few titles in mind that I am planning on watching already this year for SBNTS October, but you all get to help me pick the rest with polls throughout the month! I won't start any new TV shows at least until after October! Dun dun duuuuunnnnnn!
Did I tell you we’re going to do a halloween scary movie trivia night again? Have that on your radar!
Also on the radar-Extra Butter Night next week on 9/22!
Don’t forget to enter Pick a Flick for September-not too scary of picks ok? ;)
Have the best weekend!
Cassie

Maybe you can start Fast and Furious franchise after Oct
YT views for recent reactions. 106k (5 days) – Andor S2E10-12 70k (9 days) – One Battle After Another 49k (11 days) – Rashomon (1950) 107k (2 weeks) – Andor S2E7-9 83k (3 weeks) – Andor S2E4-6 107k (4 weeks) – Obsession (2026)
Of course, that means basically nothing since YT changed what a "view" is on August 24th.
Kudos to the guys who put my requests on PAF list: Descent, chucky, The car, THe crazies. Hopefully it gets wins or more votes
Citizen Kane and Godzilla what an interesting mix bag we have here (I haven't seen any of the KOTK series so I can't comment) But it'll be an interesting couple of watches . And Cassie has seen the original Godzilla '54
Cassie has seen 3* total Godzilla movies - G’54, Shin Godzilla, and Godzilla Minus One. *4 if you count Godzilla ‘98, which I do not.
Cassie - as a horror fan I really enjoyed last year’s movie selections, for the most part (could have done without Scream 2 but that was the patrons fault). I hope this year is similar with the “not too scary” part kept to a bare minimum. I’m not saying that every film should be at Nosferatu’24 level scary, just that I hope the majority of films are real horror films and not films from other genres masquerading as horror.
Very curious what films Cassie picks herself. I assume Ben and the mods source the films for the polls.
After this godzilla don't stop there there, there will be a couple sequels after 👌🏼
She’s doing all the monsterverse movies apparently.
I just found out Citizen Kane isn't streaming anywhere in the U.S.
You can stream (rent or buy) Citizen Kane (1941) on Amazon Prime Video in the US.
Hey Cassie thanks for all the hard work. I can't believe that "A History Of Violence" is so far down the ratings list on your website. It's a slow-burn action movie with an incredible twist starring Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) with music by Howard Shore. I put a vote in for that and for "Vanilla Sky", two of my all-time favorites. Anyone reading this that agrees with me on AHOV please go vote it up! David Cronenberg, Ed Harris, Maria Bello, Viggo Mortensen... freakin' phenomenal.
At least "A History of Violence" is Top 500 at Requests - one of my favorite movies. I upvoted. Have you assigned priority points or upvoted?
Hope your little one feels better real soon, Cassie!
Widow’s Bay sounds like a good tv series to react to…after October.
Widow’s Bay is great. Really fun vibe. There are scary moments, but nothing you can’t handle.
I heard widows bay is a comedy as well.
"History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men" Blue Oyster Cult
I saw them at the county fair in 2015. They were good.
I just really hope your kid/kids are feeling better. No need to talk about movies. Family and health first.
As some who also deals with auto-immune issues your son has my best wishes. Widow's Bay is terrific and while it is horror comedy you have already watched things much scarier. I think you can handle it.
Someone suggested a Poll with titles pulled randomly from PaF submissions... but with this twist - The winner is chosen from the loser end, from the titles who got the fewest votes! Okay, a poll is a popularity vote... which is not the nature of PaF... and the winners of such polls are the movies that have been "seen the most" by the group which is also contrary to the nature of PaF. We already know every PaF selections are carefully thought out and vetted movies that are one-in-a-lifetime per member pick of a movie they most desire... it goes beyond a guilty-pleasure movie because it's only one, a list of one. Therefore any one PaF is worth watching, that's why it's chosen randomly or by wheel... which is random. A poll to remove randomness... but random is the goal. Therefore subvert the poll nature by picking the poll loser as the winner! 😶
I said it would be fun idea for April fools, but I suppose you could do it anytime. I think Cassie might be afraid of angering people, you know how cranky people can be.
Hey Cassie, I’m so sorry to hear about your Son’s continued health struggles. You are in my thoughts. 🙏 I understand how hard it is to watch the one you love struggle with their health and there is nothing you can do to help. Lucy was in so much pain last week, she threw up! All the meds have failed her. We just hold on in hope for the DBS treatment assessment in January 🫰. Should be an interesting and varied week ahead. I haven’t seen Godzilla, but it will please your monster heads on here to have another one. I haven’t watched AKotSK yet, but soon I hope. Citizen Kane is a must for a cinephile, even if, like me, you think it’s just ok. You can appreciate its importance in film history. Anywho, all the best Cass. You are the best ❤️ P.S please give Horror of Dracula a try in October 🙏
Mark, you and Lucy are in my thoughts, hoping for the best for both of you. Having gone through a recurring medical issue the last 2 months that I have (hopefully) overcome I have experienced a small fraction of what Lucy must be going through, and she has my deepest sympathy. And that you still took the opportunity to promote HoD was truly touching. Thank you, my friend.
I sometimes mention "Sphere (1998)" as a not-too scary pic. Hmm let me look... well it shows up as a type of psychological thriller with aspects of... you know... the-genre-we-oft-not-speak-of 😶
Used to love Sphere. Watched that on cable a lot.
Now that you have finished Andor I would love to see some reactions to the animated Star Wars shows, starting with Clone Wars. It is aimed at kids so you may even want to watch it (off stream) with your kids too. It does get darker in later seasons, especially when Order 66 is enacted.
Has she seen The Lost World 1925 one of the first stop motion feature films it was also a location similar to where they go in the movie UP
No, she rarely watches silent films.
What's the new fall drink?
I know as a person who’s a bit obsessed with watching movies. I definitely should have watched Citizen Kane a long time ago, but it’s something that every time I’ve thought about watching it. I’ve just put something else on. But I’ll definitely check it on now but I’ll be honest I’m still not that excited about watching it. - Definitely looking forward to watching Godzilla, but next weeks is looking pretty good. Cellular is an ok movie, Bridge to Far I’ve not watched in a while so definitely looking forward to watching that & Clerks I’m very interested to see what Cassie makes of it lol. I know Cassie said she wanted a 100k view on a PaF. Just looked on YouTube and if The Last StarFighter had won (got into the last 10) CineBinge & Jen Murray are very close to getting 100k. Also if she likes Clerks some one got around 250k views on YouTube for Clerks II. ….. Just an update I’ve just watched CineBinge reaction to Last StarFighter and it’s just gone over 100k views
Dean, you’re not alone in that Citizen Kane boat, many people put off watching it. The hype that’s it’s “greatest movie of all time” or whatever, combined with the feeling of a school assignment you get from being told it’s “required viewing” makes people want to avoid it. When I finally broke down and watched it I felt underwhelmed - nothing can live up to all that hype. After time to reflect I still don’t think it was the best film I’d ever seen, not really my genre for one thing, but you can definitely see the innovation and appreciate it for that, if nothing else. My advice would be don’t go into it expecting to be amazed, you might enjoy it more.
Btw who's winning the halloween movie polls lately??
The Blob...??? Or did you mean 'writing'?
I'm going to say it again- Can we get a "rule 6 - no pictures" ? We already have the chat that was ruined day one with the picture obsessed. Let them stay there.
I didn’t think you could here. It’s an Extra Butter thing.
Good luck with all the health stuff. You'll be back asap. Hopefully <3 <3 <3
Hate it when the kids get health issues. 😔🙏🏽
I keep seeing recommendations for horror tv shows for Cassie. First, let me acknowledge that I don’t ever see that happening, unless it’s a short one season that could fit within the reaction slots for October. That said, if Cassie were to react to a series, I’d recommend the following: Kolchak: The Night Stalker (20 episodes + two tv movies that kicked off the series) this is the series that Chris Carter ripped off to such great effect with the X Files X Files (11 seasons, 218 episodes) I’d recommend only the “monster of the week” episodes (and, even then, only select episodes); the mythology really falls apart as the seasons stack up Masters of Horror (first season only - 13 episodes) offerings by John Carpenter, Joe Dante, John Landis, Tobe Hooper, Dario Argento and more; truly they are masters Tales from the Crypt (seven seasons; after season 4 or 5 the quality diminishes) fantastic adaptation of the comic books of the same name; patron Rene recommended this first and it got me thinking Tales from the Darkside (4 season) an anthology series created by legendary horror maestro George Romero Twilight Zone (5 seasons) the granddaddy of weird, creepy tv shows and still the best
Theres some great made for TV movies that I never see any reactions to. -SALEMS LOT 1979 a Stephen King Story -THE NIGHT STALKER 1972 -TRILOGY OF TERROR 1975 An anthology -CATS EYE 1985 not made for tv but a good Stephen King anthology.
I’d throw in Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981) and Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (1973).
Widows Bay wins are definitely well deserved, best show of the year!
If only Orson Welles had gotten together with Ishiro Honda and made a crossover sequel called Godzilla vs Citizen Kane. We could be watching that this very week!
"You provide the haiku, I'll provide the kaiju"
Were the kids successful with their prank on you? What did they do? Also, can we have another bracket soon? 16 movies chosen from the top 500? Please, Cassie!
I was wondering what the prank was?!
Citizen Kane is considered one of the best movies ever made and first time I watched it I was thinking its probably not as good as the hype then after I finished it I remember thinking that was one of the best movies ever made
As the English poet Robert Graves once said about William Shakespeare, "He really is very good, in spite of all the people who say he is very good." I think the same thing could be said about KANE. Is it the greatest movie ever made? Maybe, maybe not. I don't think such a thing even really exists, but it's certainly a worthy contender for that honor.
Hey Cassie, since you were wondering about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms characters being mentioned on Game of Thrones, somebody made a video of all the times an AKot7K character was mentioned by a GoT character: https://youtu.be/z6Zafh0sRpo?is=hayYSQJdCAyCpxFf
CHARADE
As a older PiB Patreon member I wait and hope Cassie and the members under 40 find the viewing of the classic film "Citizen Kane" a joy to behold. The camera and acting techniques introduced to moviegoers are amazing plus the movie has a great mystery plot to follow as Kane's life unfolds.
It's a magnificent film. I don't necessarily expect any of our younger patrons wanting it for the first time to be as enamored of it as I was on my first viewing, but the more people that see KANE, the better. Maybe it will even inspire some folks to give it another watch, because it is definitely a film that improves on subsequent viewings.
I watched widow’s bay and it was a good series
Can't wait for "A Bridge Too Far" and as the actors' names roll out at the beginning of the movie Cassie's reaction of Oh My Gosh ! He's in this movie ! Oh My Gosh ! He's in this movie too !! OH! I, can't believe ALL these stars are in this one movie !!
Popcorn Dread aka "SOILED MYSELF" movie recommends : Cannibal holocaust, Serbian film, Lords of Salem, House of 1000 corpses, Devil's rejects
Rene - be serious. You have to be trolling here. Cassie will never watch Cannibal Holocaust or A Serbian Film. No one would let that happen, including me. Some movies really are too much for Cassie.
A Perfect World, Cassie! Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.
+ a million for “A Perfect world” 🙏
Was nice to see Pluribus win some Emmys. Mostly because it was one of a very small number of new shows I actually watched this year. But really interesting premise and fantastic central performance. It won Lead Actress, Writing, Production Design, Editing, Theme Music, and was nominated for Best Drama. A bit slow in parts, but well worth the watch. Created by Vince Gilligan who did Breaking Bad and Saul.
Which Godzilla is she watching?
Hi Rick, It is the 2014 version. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0831387/
I am sorry your boy is having A rough time. You just have to roll with it. I started having autoimmune issues at 4. My teenage years were rough but then I was good for over 30 years with a few light flare ups during that time. Unfortunately i am currently having a big flair up and taking It one day at a time. It gets frustrating and overwhelming at times but you just have to keep going. Your son has you and the rest of his family. That means more than you now.
Hope things improve soon Rick.
Tales from the crypt tv series please?
That would be awesome. It will also NEVER happen.
Throwing out Midnight Mass as another horror miniseries to keep in mind. From the creator of Haunting of Hill House.
To all fans of The Graham Norton Show, the new series will start next week on Friday 26th September. And WHO will be the first guest on the new series?? One of Cassie's favourite Hollywood actors.... TOM CRUISE!!
Here is an interview with Orson Welles on BBC UK chat show, Parkinson in 1974. They don't discuss his movies but at 22:55, Michael Parkinson asks Welles as to the fact that many critics describe Citizen Kane (1941) as "the greatest film ever made" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dAGcorF1Vo Also, here is a little interview with Ruth Warrick talking about working on Citizen Kane (1941) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DiIgPCTAW4
Orson Welles used to jokingly say in interviews that CITIZEN KANE was not the greatest movie ever made, but his next movie was going to be!
I am trying to boost my immune system since getting shingles last May. Still suffering from nerve damage. I recommend to anyone over 50 to get the vaccine. It’s a terrible disease and very painful. That said, I hope you can bolster your boy’s immune system with supplements in addition to what your doctor advises. I hate hearing about sick children. 😔
Cathrine sorry to hear that. Shingles suck big time! Hope you get better soon. 🙏❤️
"What were your good things?" Well, for me next week I have a week off work and I am determined to build a brand new Lego model that was released only this month: The Batmobile from Tim Burton's Batman Returns (1992) that splits in three! https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/batman-returns-batmobile-76355
Nice minifig. If it's not insanely price on BrickLink, I may have to pick that up.
I sincerely hope your son gets well soon and all the best to Carly!
Re: The Halloween Poll, Bride of Frankenstein (1935) is actually a sequel to Frankenstein (1931), Cassie. If that film wins the poll, it might be better to watch Frankenstein (1931) first and then Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Just a suggestion!
She's already watched Frankenstein.
A week with Citizen Frickin Kane is a good week in my book!
I am so pumped. I've been wanting this movie for years. I made it one of my five trivia night picks.
I said this when the poll was going on, but I'll say it again- there is no shame in falling asleep watching Citizen Kane. You can even have fun with it- change outfits each time you wake up, edit the half dozen or so takes together, but pretend like nothing happened.
I've been hearing all my life how boring of a movie it is so I'll probably give it a shot just to sate my curiosity.
Hey Cassie, I'm sorry to hear about one of your kids getting sick again, my heart goes out to you! I wonder what kind of prank they tried pulling on you lol! The only good thing that's going on with me is that I just started my one week vacation from work to "somewhat" celebrate my birthday next week, which just so happens to be your "Extra Butter Night" lol! And I've also gotten started at getting the pieces to my costume for Halloween this year, in my case, I'm dressing up as "The Shadow" an old-school superhero based on the 1930's radio broadcast show of the same name and the 1994 Alec Baldwin movie, I highly recommend that movie, it's so underrated and deserves more love, I'll be sure to send pictures so you can see 😁 Fun fact, The Shadow predates Batman and Superman, and also served as an inspiration to the creation of Batman! Hope you got my fan letter, sorry that it's 29 pages lol, but like I said the majority of it is the voting polls I came up with that I so hope you'll consider posting in the future! I also hope you enjoyed reading the "story" part of the letter about my life lol, I hope you found it interesting and I apologize for some of the extreme parts in it! I'm looking forward for your reaction and starting the Monsterverse with "Godzilla (2014)" it's gonna be one heck of an adventure lol! Take care, love and support, hope Carly's doing okay (give her a hug for me), see you on Extra Butter Night/My Birthday lol, you and Carly are the best, and God bless y'all and the family🥰😇🙏🤗😉✌🌹
I love the Shadow (both the character, the radio series and the Alec Baldwin Movie). I thought about dressing up as him myself for Halloween at some point. Also, quick little tidbit of trivia that you may or may not know, but the original voice of the actor on the old radio show was none other than... Orson Welles.
@Richard - "This week will also be our first Scary but not too Scary Poll!"
Even Cassie can make mistakes sometimes ;-) But I made a post asking why she’s calling it that when she wants to watch “ the scariest movie she’s ever seen”. I also gave my opinion that Popcorn in Dread is much better (which it is).
Sorry about your kid.
God bless to your son, and to you and the family, Cassie. No more helpless a feeling than a sick kid. My heart goes out to you all.
Speaking of Kane, you should react to Undertaker vs Mankind Hell in a Cell
Yikes. I believe that’s the only time a WWE commentator has seriously used the phrase “Stop the damn match!” Brutal.
So both of us felt the need to 🙏 for your family this week we had no idea why we just did. We lit a candle in our church, and prayed. My gf Eva tells parents to trust your maternal instinct, or paternal instinct. You see it nature with a mother bear helping her cubs across the road. When it comes to parents your gut instincts are your maternal or paternal instincts. Good things in the fall Eva loves baking apple spice, pumpkin spice muffins, cookies. We leave apples attached to the fence posts for the deer. We have huge set up for the birds right out are bedroom window. We focus on our three dogs and two cats and our bird. That's how we stay happy by making them happy by making other people happy. Kat from Kat watches horror movies is doing Widows Bay, she is also doing Crystal Lake a prequel to the original Friday 13th (1980) which comes out October 8, on Peacock. We really think that House Of The Dragon you would like the characters it's the closest thing to Game Of Thrones. The Pitt won for best drama that deserved to win. That's the best show on TV right now. Indiana Fever are coming on. Caitlin Clark 🫶 has been doing USA basketball for nearly a month. So we can't wait to see her tonight.
And i also think that you should really stop telling people about pick a flick- if they are too lazy to take 5 seconds to update their movie month to month thats on them. But with 500+ entries the odds of winning are uninspiringly low.
I've been saying that since the beginning.
I hope your child feels better soon!
Hope your family is okay 🤞🙏😢
Just Godzilla for me this week. Still hoping you will react to "Midnight Mass" (2021), just seven episodes.
MIDNIGHT MASS is one of the best things I've ever seen. It's what made me a huge Mike Flanagan fan.
Can we get Doctor Sleep or Midnight Mass for Scaretober, please?!
Yes to both. I'm a big Mike Flanagan fan.
Awesome. Finally she tackles CITIZEN KANE (1941). Our little girl is growing up. 🥹❤️
It's a rite of passage for any serious film buff.
This is my fifth "October season" on this channel. I will be very very disapointed if you not doing a reaction of "Let the right one in" this year...
Let the Right One In is a terrific movie and would be an excellent film for an October reaction. But it has subtitles, so there’s no way it gets a reaction.
Sorry to hear your kid’s going through a rough time. Hope they feel better soon 🙏 Have you been watching Season 4 of Ted Lasso? I watched the latest episode last night. That show always puts a smile on my face Have a great weekend Cassie!
Best wishes for the health of your family! My good things this week were some good health outcomes for family, celebrating the California Gustine Festa, and the interesting and entertaining book “Dark Matter” by Blake Crouch. The book made into a series for Apple TV with Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connely that I look forward to watching. 😊
Was just going to mention the show, but then I saw your last line. Been waiting for an excuse to start that show, maybe this is it. lol. Apple TV has been pretty great so far.
Tonight will watch your full reaction to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (S1:5-6). Looking forward to it. Will be a first watch of those two episodes for me. I loved the first 4 episodes which I watched a couple of months ago, and rewatched with your reactions. Sending positive signals to your boy.
Highly recommend Widow's Bay.
I'm two episodes into Widows Bay. It definitely seems like an interesting show.
I know scary but not too scary is your thing, and I know you swore it off when you started this channel, but I really think you're ready for The Exorcist. I too had sworn it off earlier in life, but it turned out to be far more thoughtful and poignant than I expected. Far from just another demonic scary movie.
The Exorcist isn't about "being ready," it's about not wanting to watch it. Why can't people respect that?
A few “Scary-but-not-too-scary” suggestions: Addams Family Values Death Becomes Her What We Do in the Shadows
Love DEATH BECOMES HER.
I think Citizen Kane (1941) is a good choice. It’s one of the great classics. A terrific follow-up, even if it’s off-channel, would be The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), Orson Welles’s second feature film as director after Citizen Kane. Welles in his prime was remarkable, a gifted director, actor, and storyteller. I have to give myself some credit for opening up my own horizons, too. I’m glad I watched CODA (2021). It was completely unexpected, and since I’ve spent this week on my back with COVID, it was a very pleasant surprise. I also think CODA would be a good choice for the channel. I think Cassie would enjoy it, and if Carly, even as a brand-new mother, can still find time to watch it with her sister, I think she’d enjoy it too. Just my opinion.
Agree CODA (2021) is a heartwarming and uplifting film. Hope you feel better soon Doc Larry! 😊
Ironically you're about to watch a movie about enjoying the good things. My good things are my fridge is full of my favorite steak, I'm about to be in a short film, and my 20 year class reunion is coming up!
Say it ain't so Garrett! My reunion is in a few years too, but I swear it was just a few weeks ago that I was bantering and messing around with my buddies in the hallways! How time flies.
Widows Bay would be a great show to react to. It's very funny.
Suggestions for the other October polls: Fallen (Denzel Washington), Frailty (Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton), the first Paranormal Activity, and Dawn of the Dead (2004), and Panic Room (Jodie Foster, Kristen Stewart). Panic Room is more of a tense thriller than horror, but it's good.
One little thing, A Bridge Too Far should have subtitles for the non English parts, sometimes streaming services mess with them
I didn't notice that A Bridge Too Far was coming next week until I saw your comment. Thrilled! Adore that movie having watched it countless times. Looking forward to seeing PiB watch it now.
You should definitely react to Widow’s Bay. It’s wicked funny, and pretty squarely falls into Scary But Not Too Scary territory.
Sorry to hear about your child, Cassie. Hope everything turns out okay. :-( WIDOW'S BAY is terrific. My wife and I are huge fans of Matthew Rhys and probably would have watched it just because he's in it, but the writing and the filmmaking is actually really good. It is primarily a horror series, but it has a strangely quirky and ironic sense of humor. It's both funny and scary. I love it. But what I am really excited about is that you are finally taking the plunge and viewing one of the most important films ever made: Orson Welles's masterpiece CITIZEN KANE. It's a rite of passage for any serious film buff. I realize that you heard mixed things ranging all the way from it's being of the most overrated movies of all time to it it truly is one of the greatest (if not the greatest) films ever made. Personally speaking, I tend to be in the latter camp as it is one of my favorite films (which is why I submitted it as one of my five pics when I won trivia night). II think it is extraordinary work of art that gets richer, deeper and more rewarding with each subsequent view... I have seen it maybe 20 times in my life and I never tire of it. At any rate, don't let these varied opinions of it intimidate you. Sometimes I think KANE has become a sort of victim of its own heightened reputation. I'll talk more about it after you actually watch it, but you just do what you always do and have as genuine and authentic reaction as possible. I actually think you will like it because while it is true that the techniques used in it were very innovative at the time, it also works as compelling human drama and is actually a sort of mystery (as you will see). Really looking forward to that. As always, Keep up the good work.
I think you’ll enjoy Widow’s Bay. A great show to react to during October.
I'm so excited for Citizen Kane! Also, as someone who is a lot like you with horror, I can say that Widow's Bay does have some scary moments, but it's not actually that bad. Without any spoilers, I can say that it's equal parts funny and scary.
I've been excited for a KANE reaction for years.
I will help you choose if I must. As you seem to be watching The Blob with a young Steve McQueen, it would only be right and proper and fair and equitable to then have a Steve McQueen poll, of which the following films would be fab: The Cincinatti Kid (1965) - Young stud poker stud takes on The Man for all the beans Bullitt (1968) - There are no other car chases. This is the car chase. The Getaway (1972) - Ok, if you watch this one, just remember, she still married him after he slapped her silly. Papillon (1973) - Simply the best McQueen movie. His best performance, Dustin Hoffman's best performance. It's quite long, though, so prepare for numbness in the nethers. Towering Inferno (1974) - You should just watch this one. Literally tens of thousands of comments over the past year, begging for a reaction to it. Why do you hate us, Cassie? Why? Also....speaking of fab stuff.....it's time for A Hard Day's Night with The Beatles. You need to experience Ringo's enormous great hooter, with his poor little head trembling under the weight of it. Also, Horror of Dracula. But you know that already cos someone here's got it tattooed on his forehead. Love to your boy. All a mother can do is love and the rest will work itself out.
💯 Papillon. They don't make films like that anymore. Midnight express also 👍. For years I heard about the legendary car chase in Bullit and when I finally got around to watching the film I was a little underwhelmed. Probably all that built up expectation. The car chase in Ronin is still my favourite.
I am sooo sorry I commented before reading . I pray that your little makes a speedy recovery
Yup, gotta love "Dunk and Egg". Best wishes to your son. Hope all's well soon. I'm looking forward to october so much this yr. Binging the scary favorites, your SBNTS reactions, crisp cool air, apple cider, sweatshirts and jeans, etc. Gonna be a real VIBE
Oh man, hope everything improves with your kiddo.
Monsterverse is a flop
Five movies with a sixth coming soon. Do you know what “flop” means?
I'll be ticking off Citizen Kane too then, getting through some classic cinema after Gone With The Wind earlier this year.
Wow.
pls do Widows Bay 🙏🏼
2nded
Citizen Kane should be an interesting reaction. It’s considered one of the greatest films ever made (AFI number one for years and years). I hope everything is ok with your oldest (Edit: whoever it is). And for Carly as well.
I actually think she will like it.
Cassie - why call it Scary but not too scary when one of your stated goals for 2026 is to watch the scariest movie you’ve ever seen? Kind of makes the “ not too scary” part meaningless. I prefer Popcorn in Dread, it’s much less cumbersome . Hope your kid feels better soon.
Yes! "Scary But Holy Crap I Just Soiled Myself" should be the new slogan. We'll have you watching Evil Dead as a warm-up before you know it.
Oh, I hope your child feels better! My sister struggles with that too and it's hard.
Unpopular opinion but... I really like this Godzilla.
It’s not nearly as bad as some make it out to be, certainly better than Godzilla ‘98.
My wife and I loved Widow’s Bay. Even if you don’t watch it for the channel I would definitely recommend it Mrs. Cassie, it’s an excellent series
It’s highly unlikely that she’ll recognize CK as one of (many say THE) greatest films of all time but it’s a movie that everyone on the planet should watch at least once
Charles Foster Kane!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏 Let’s Go!!!!
"I'M CHARLES FOSTER KANE!!!"
Please watch Arcane next as our weekly show
Arcane sucks season 2
