Up this week!

I recommend The Dressmaker a really good Aussie movie.

An excellent movie from Australia is "The Dish," as in the huge receiving antenna in Parkes, Australia. Humorous (not a comedy), charming, and based on a real event. Actors include Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) and Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld). I've mentioned it before in these posts, and hope that one day it gets some visibility because it is a very good movie. If not watched now, for sure schedule it for July to coincide with the anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission.

If you like Tom Cruise you should do War of the Worlds. It's really intense and one of his best performances.

If you want a really good Australian movie for Australia Day, try Danny Deckchair or The Man From Snowy River. Both are really good. Just suggestions.

I liked Crocodile Dundee 1 and 2, but 3 was not as good as the other two. Paul Hogan was a huge comedian in Australia with his own tv show, The Paul Hogan Show, before the Dundee movies put him on the international scene. He created some of Australia's iconic comedy characters. Do a search for Paul Hogan on Youtube and watch some of his funniest skits.

You'll love Crocodile Dundee

Another funny movie from Australia is Young Einstein 😄

And if you want a total change of pace... Two future presidents in John Adams and Thomas Jefferson - set 13 years before our first president, George Washington became president in 1789. The movie is "1776" Oops I just snuck in a musical. As an historian, and one who appreciates musicals, I enjoyed it. It came out in 1973. Cassie I am sure you know who Gweneth Paltrow is...her mom is in this movie...Blythe Danner. It's a way to learn a little history, be entertained with good humor, and clever musical tunes. It's amazing after how much went wrong early in the war, and that the US was able to win its revolutionary war in 1781. At that time, we were a nation of 13 states and 3.5 million citizens and 500,000 slaves. And that the Constitution would be written six years later and approved, without the Bill of Rights. It was only promised that one would be added. It's amazing how those first 10 amendments truly define what it means to be an American. Cassie and Carly if you ever want to take an amazing trip visit Washington DC Smithsonian Museums. There are many of them. There is one created for our Centennial in 1876. Everything in that building is as it was in 1876 it's a way to truly be a time traveler. I know your kids a very young, too young to appreciate the museums in 2024...but in a few years when they are older it could be a great experience. Even though it's a very long trip from UTAH.

If you want suspenseful drama, you can't go wrong with the following possibilities: 1. Thirteen Days 2. Seven Days In May 3. All The President's Men 4. Fail Safe

If you want comedy, you can go wrong with Dave.

For President's month might I suggest an all-Lincoln festival? Three very different movies about America's greatest President. 1. Young Lincoln (1939) 2. Abe Lincoln in Illinois (1940) 3. Lincoln (2012)

Cassie are you watching the original Tron?

Just stepping into the light to say A Walk In The Clouds for February romance? Ok, back to the shadows.

Inner Space is lots of fun.

Cassie, I know you want to do pre-1970 for the romance poll, but please have a look at The Girl Who Invented Kissing. If you haven't seen it, you should; it's a fantastic, feel-good, low-budget, romantic gem.

Top Romance Movies of the 1980s... 1. All of Me 2. Always 3. An Officer And A Gentleman...This is a big time Cassie and Carly pick...maybe one of your top Romance movies for 2024... 4. Inner Space 5. Moonstruck 6. Peggy Sue Got Married 7. 16 Candles 8. Tootsie 9. Working Girl 10. Dirty Dancing

Top Romance Movies of the 1970s... 1. Days of Heaven 2. Harold and Maude 3. What's Up Doc? 4.

Play It Again Sam 7. The Passenger 8. Grease 9. Time After Time...Star Trek VI director...and an actor...and another actor in Star Trek Generations, the crossover before the best Next Generation movie - First Contact... 10. The Goodby Girl

Crocodile Dundee will teach you what exactly qualifies as a knife.

Reacher is vagrant Batman.. Saw the Emmy results. Succession picked up Drama, Lead Actor, Actoress, Supporting Actor, Director and Writing. J Smith-Cameron was nominated in Supporting Actoress and really let down the side. JOKE!!!!

We know why type of movies Cassie wants to watch in February. How about we keep the genre but mix up the time. Cassie likes time traveling let's do it together. Romantic movies of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

Since you're watching the original Tron, I recommend putting yourself into an 80's mind set when watching it. I grew up with this movie, but a lot of people today might not understand the tech and terms from back then.

Because Cassie was able to handle Kill Bill and is contemplating Vol2 and she also watch Rambo and is considering another...Could she handle or even appreciate the humor from the two Dead Pool movies? Cassie has created her own niche. She isn't following other creators. You think, later in the year she'll try the good MCU movies. Not the current double boo, not on my watch, pushing down the throats of fans, choices?????

Fun fact (for freezing): -40F = -40C, so Americans and Canadians can agree that it is freaking cold out without having to do the math first.

I lost the link to the page of what Cassie has seen and link to the requested movies. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

For February/Valentine's Season I hope you will consider the film 'Harold and Maude' (1971).

A very good friend of mine did the post process effects in I, Robot. Also, I’m very happy to see you doing TRON. I don’t know if you’ll see this comment, but when you watch TRON, try to keep in mind the technology of the time. This film was groundbreaking in its use of computer animation.

Maybe for February romance you could consider the 1955 film Marty

Is that the original Tron? That is a true classic, I'm going to love watching Cassie watch that.

It doesn't qualify for *Classic* Romance, but if we're including more recent fare, I'll nominate Intolerable Cruelty (2003). It's a Coen brothers film starring George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones. (Please don't let the title throw you off.)

"it was chill and a little warmer" Make up your mind, girl! :-)

I, Robot? You call that a movie? Now Crocodile Dundee, THAT's a movie!

Another recommendation for Presidents Day: DAVE. You will love it.

The main actress in TRON (Cindy Morgan) who also starred in CADDYSHACK, just passed away last week. RIP. :-(

They should all be fun movies... nothing too deep or too intense.. will be a really good week!

I love sci-fi, and we got 2 this week! Tron (1982) is ok. I liked the sequel better, Tron Legacy. I Robot is pretty good.

Sounds like you and the fam had a relaxing, and warmish (not sure if thats a word, but by golly it should be!) few days. Nice line-up of movies coming! Is this the original Tron or the sequel? I'm mostly enjoying the Reacher series. Huge fan of the books. Unpopular opinion coming... The 2 Reacher movies with Tom Cruise... Really good. Cruise, while diminutive in comparison to the Reacher character, brought the Reacher intensity and intellect more so than the current one. Still, horses for courses, I know I'll enjoy all the upcoming reactions! That is until or unless you do a musical! Can't abide by that. ;)

I also think Cassie would enjoy Robert Reford in "Three Days of the Condor"

Besides MUSICALS I don't think Cassie has reacted to any Pixar films like the Incredibles or UP. I think she's like them and so many others.

I'm most excited for CROCODILE DUNDEE this week. Before you watch TRON, I think it is worth knowing that it is going to show its age and feel dated visually. It was made during the infancy of such effects. Personally, I've only seen it before the sequel came out and I do like that one more. Also, I hope THIRTEEN DAYS with Kevin Costner is considered for Presidents Week. I do have a couple of more recent romantic movie suggestions for February where the leading man is one of Cassie's favorites. Movies, that I'm surprised she hasn't seen yet (or they are just not marked as one): WORKING GIRL (1988) with Harrison Ford DOC HOLLYWOOD (1991) with Michael J Fox FOREVER YOUNG (1992) with Mel Gibson A WALK IN THE CLOUDS (1995) with Keanu Reeves SIX DAYS SEVEN NIGHTS (1998) with Harrison Ford THE LAKE HOUSE (2006) with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock FOOL'S GOLD (2008) with Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson PS: also, February might be a perfect opportunity to finally make COMING TO AMERICA (1988) with Eddie Murphy happen.

Good lineup of upcoming movies. We need crocodile Dundee immediately but also excited for the journey home. I think you’ll love both of them.

I hope Carly is with you for Crocodile Dundee. I suspect you’d both love it. Could I also suggest Thirteen Days for Presidents week.

Please consider The Dish (2000) as an Australia day bonus movie 👍

Another skip week for me. Quite a lot of those recently.. Since you’re coaching a Basketball team, it makes sense to put up a Basketball poll. Also suggesting Any Given Sunday with the Super Bowl right around the corner, and Malcolm X for BHM, it’s been long overdue IMO. Also, Australia Day?? Are we just celebrating anything now? No disrespect to my Aussie friends.

Tron is okay... for a low budget early 80s,movie (I actually liked the 2010 sequel better, though others don't). Crocodile Dundee is okay... for a low budget mid-80s movie. I remember watching it on video with my family a few years after it came out. Enjoyable, but ultimately forgettable. I really enjoyed I, Robot. There are a significant number of others who don't because the ideas in it strayed so far from the premises created by Issac Asimov in his short stories (Three Rules of Robotics, etc). What is funny is that, although the movie shares the name of one of Asimov's collection of short stories, the original film is derived from Agatha Christie. I think the story is is very good. The performances are good,too. Especially the voice and motion-capture acting by Alan Tudyk. Tender and chilling in equal measures. Looking forward to Star Trek VI (The last original cast movie) than I am the 5th), But I REALLY am interested to see you watch another Leonard Nimoy directed film—Three Men and A Baby. Now if we could just get your Patreons to vote for Pleasantville. My wife and I just finished the second season of Reacher. It's okay. Supposedly the books are better. The Tom Cruise Reacher films aren't bad. My wife is reading the books now and seems to enjoy them. I need to start reading again soon (I have a big backlog), but I'm more interested in completing the writing on my second novel. If you want to get into an excellent show (if you haven't already seen it), check out Ted Lasso. ...... of course, you have all those seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation coming up...

I nominate His Girl Friday and A Matter of Life and Death for romance movie poll.

Hey Cassie: I was in Walt Disney World in December. A few things on the TRON ride: 1. it's based on the sequel, not the original. The aesthetic, the music, everything...if you can, watch the sequel, TRON: LEGACY before you go. 2. It's a great ride but it's much too short, especially for the trouble of getting into the virtual queue. The GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY ride at EPCOT is 10x the ride that TRON is.

If you are doing a classic love story poll, my Mom wants you to do “Love Story” ha ha. She said she’d even watch your reaction to it😂

i would love to see somebody react to broken arrow i think you would like it.

Be careful with the First Blood reaction. Other channels have had trouble uploading their reactions to it.

Dang! Tron out of nowhere!!! I've been low key praying Cassie would watch Tron for like 2 years now. I'm down!🎤👇

First Blood! :D Some fun stuff on deck for sure. Talk about a well run channel. This is how you do it. Just hit -16 (C) here in Ontario. Big deal right? Minus FIFTY!? (-45C).

If you’re gonna do something for President’s Day, my vote goes to All The President’s Men, co-starring Robert Redford. It chronicles a really important chapter in Presidential history and is a great movie. Also worthy of consideration is Thirteen Days starring Kevin Costner. The first focuses on the wrongdoings of the Nixon Administration and the second deals with Kennedy’s response to the Soviets putting nuclear missiles in Cuba (the Cuban Missile Crisis). Both are superb.

I hope you'll do Tron Legacy soon after. I think it's under appreciated as it came out just before the 80s nostalgia wave really hit.

"The Bear" the movie from 1988?!? Hope!! Or the 'TV show' lol The movie is a totally different movie but a very good one! lol Love Electric Blankets!!!

Leonard Nimoy also directed 3 Men and a Baby

Currently watching: the first episode of True Detective Season 4. Jodie Foster in Alaska...

President's week nomination- Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)

Yay! Disney World! My favorite vacation destination. I’m hoping for Spielberg’s Lincoln for President’s Week.

Some great stuff coming up. Can't remember much about the Tron story. Saw it when I was a kid. I do remember loving the special effects, which I'm sure have aged badly by now. Love both I, Robot and Crocodile Dundee! Hope you have a fantastic DW trip. I'm heading to see the Mouse myself in September!

Nice line up! I haven’t seen Tron at all, so looking forward to enjoying it with PIB. Crocodile Dundee is lots of fun. ST IV, my 2nd favorite in the movie series after Wrath of Kahn. And First Blood is Stallone at his 2nd best (after Rocky and Rocky II). I totally understand you’re planning strategies for your trip to Disney World. I just went with my family over the Thanksgiving holiday and planning it out was a month long event. One important piece of advice Cassie…download the DW app if you don’t have it already. Its the only way to get on the Tron ride. There is no stand by line…only a virtual line. And be prepared to get on that virtual line as soon as it opens. We got on within the first minute that it was available at 7am and our call group was still at 6pm 😤 However, while no ride is worth that kind of a wait, it was a great ride! Hope you all have a great time!

"Planning out DW" What is DW in this context?

Tron? You mean this Tron? https://youtu.be/-3Mm8wDH9Fk?si=OAT5GeB0_MHCTfK8 Crocodile Dundee? Have another Shrimp on the Barbie Right? https://youtu.be/Qx6TL6udmwM?si=itPldXR-YQAXML5R.

Tron is somewhat timely. Cindy Morgan, the female lead, just passed away. She is most known for her roles in Tron and Caddyshack - call it a recommendation. Caddyshack may be the most quoted movie by golfers.

I hope Rambo is up first this week, can't wait, and with Carly that's just icing on the cake (haha). This week on YT is a 100% can't miss for me. Cheers Cassie.

Looking forward to both Tron and Dundee!

My body is ready for Tron to lead into Tron Legacy.

Rabbit Proof Fence (2002) was an excellent choice you made in 2022 for Australian Day.

Watching Tron because they have a Tron ride at Disney World? I wish they had a Classic Horror ride so we could get a poll ;-)

Viva Variety! Nice line up. If you like Paul Hogan (Dundee) consider putting Almost an Angel (1990) on your list. It is one of those movies that is great but slipped under the radar of most people.

For starters my favorite Aussie film Crocodile Dundee, you gonna have a blast. The other two are fun as well; the prequel for Tron, which is called Tron: Legacy is very very good, I can’t wait until you get to that one. In the mean time stay safe and warm, I hope your parents have running water by now.

Looking forward to you watching Crocodile Dundee and Three Men and a Baby. I hope Carly can join you! 🍿

Heck yes! I’ve always loved Crocodile Dundee. The premise sounds ridiculous but it’s actually a really charming movie. I have a sneaking suspicion you’ll have a crush on Paul Hogan by the end of the movie.

Be warned user, Tron is very, very "early eighties". The visuals are...something. Its sequel, Tron: Legacy (2010) is one of my favorite movies.

As an Australian, I wouldn't have recommended Crocodile Dundee. I know it is high up the list on Popcorn Requests, and it is good movie and worth a watch (I will watch because I haven't seen it completely in a long time). It just seems a bit like a tourist destination of a film these days. I would have gone with some things that aren't necessarily as well known, such as the "Strictly Ballroom" or "The Dish" both of which have a bunch of things for Cassie to engage with and enjoy, while still servicing a bunch of things thematically around the timing with other movies that have been or will be watched in the next while.

I'm really excited about Crocodile Dundee and Three Men and a Baby. Both of these I'm sure you and Carly will enjoy so I hope she joins us!!!

Immensely looking forward to Crocodile Dundee (1986)… and Three Men and a Baby (1987). President’s Week sounded Amazing from your Insta thing, too. Out of nowhere with Tron (1982). Awesoooommme!! Are you aware though, that the Disney Ride is very much modeled after the Sequel… Tron: Legacy (2010)? You may need to watch that one as well. It’s Mighty Good, and it might Surprise you. Soundtrack and Score by Daft Punk, which you will hear during the Ride. It’s one of my favorite Soundtracks.

Oh boy you're going to love Crocodile Dundee! Its sooo 80s 😎 And its a uniquely funny and somehow enlightening comedy. The movie was so popular that the people who started Outback Steakhouse decided to capitalize on the Aussie craze and start the chain shortly after the movie release. (I worked at the original one in Clearwater Florida so I got to speak to the founders and learn about their endeavor)

iRobot will be fun 👍🏽

Thanks as always, Cassie! Safe journies and God bless.

I' Robot is an underrated movie, I liked it quite a bit. And I LOVE Tron, though it's going to look suuuuuper dated. The sequel, Tron: Legacy is awesome, I hope you'll eventually watch that too.

It would be a crime for you to watch Tron but not Tron: Legacy, especially since I assume the Disney ride is more tuned towards the sequel which is a huge leap in technology!

I Robot? What's the YT crowd smoking?

You could literally react to a phone book and it'd be the most heartwarming thing ever. Always look forward to your reactions. I doubt you'd be able to do it on the channel because of copyright issues for music and stuff but you should definitely watch the Memphis Broadway musical during February because it's a fantastic love story and it became one of my favorite musicals of all time after I experienced it. I'd also like to suggest Murder on the Orient Express with Kenneth Branagh because it's winter and why not 😂 And because it's me and you kind of expect it at this point, Doctor Who. 😂

Don’t forget about Oppenheimer😊

Best advice about planning a disney world trip is to give yourself a break in the middle of your trip. We went to Disney Springs in the middle of our trip for a 1/2 day. Just to unwind. And then vegged back at the hotel room.

Excited for I, Robot and Tron! Tron's sequel, Tron Legacy, is really fun too!

I guess I hadn't seen the cover in too long. I came here to comment why are you watching the second one first. Lol. Thankfully it is the first one. I'm so looking forward to this. As others have said, this is one of my favorite movies from when I was a kid. I just couldn't get enough of it. Can't wait

Don’t forget it’s Festival of the Arts at EPCOT right now. A little more crowded in the world showcase, but some really good special food available!

Not my week I guess, but that's ok. I'm looking forward to what's coming. More Trek is always great, even though 5 is my least favorite. I love Three Men And A Baby and I'm excited for some Rom Coms in February. Hopefully equal amounts older(before 1970) and newer Rom Coms. It's been very cold here in Michigan too. Wind Chill has been regularly -25°F. I still have some of my water but most is frozen. Next week is supposed to be better. My mom is also recovering right now. She's doing pretty good despite the cold 🥶. Hope you guys stay warm and safe over there.

Love this !

You watched First Blood? I love that movie but I hope it wasn't too much for you! Personally I would not continue with the Rambo movies after that one, even if you liked First Blood. The rest of them are not at all like that one and get really ridiculous real fast.

The Tron ride is more closely based on the sequel, but they're technically in the same universe, so it works! There's lightcycles in both. 😁

Watching Tron before the Tron ride is indeed the responsible thing to do. Some might say, the logical thing to do.

Did you know Rambo: First Blood was filmed not too far out of Vancouver in and around the town of Hope, BC. I hope you had your knife ready for watching Crocodile Dundee.

Wait I robot wasn't on the 50 pull! was it???

When she watches Three Men and a Baby (1987), I wonder if Cassie will spot the notorious "ghost" in the film!

Another top requested movie is welcome in Croc Dundee and I haven't seen Tron in ages so they both balance out the travesty that is I, Robot. A lopsided week for sure, sometimes you have to take the good with the bad, but the ugly is usually to be avoided. Palatable only with Cassie!

Think we will get "The Searchers" before we see "Enter the Dragon." Happy New Year and safe travels. I do enjoy your channel and thought you and Carkly's reaction to "Ransom" was one of the best. I hope "An Affair to Remember" is on your February list

What's DW?

Not one of these I'm not hyped to see the reaction. Especially Tron. Special place in my heart from childhood.

Three Men and a Baby? Another Leonard Nimoy joint!!

Awesome that you're watching Tron. the made years later sequel is fun too.

Stick with the bear. Those people are kind of abrasive at first, but you'll get it.

Cassie is gonna LOOOOOVE Crocodile Dundee. Hope it’s a Carly Collaboration. The ladies would have a blast with this one.
