Upcoming...
Hey guys! I’m so sorry I didn’t get Lincoln up before Sunday. I’ve been miserably sick and this weekend it got worse. I know i’m sick a lot, I feel a lot of mom/popcorn guilt every time. It’s either the revolving door of small children I’m surrounded by or maybe the incubation period of Disney World caught up with me. It was my son’s birthday this weekend so I rallied as much as I could but crashed so hard every night. Lincoln will go up this week along with the others!
I just posted 3 polls this morning! I've been reading the comments on the ST polls and I think from your feedback, next season we will use a third party polling option so they can all be on one poll in case the best 4 are all in the second half of the season or something like that. We also have our Trivia Winner pick poll and it is TIED! Go vote on all those!
I know The Hunchback is random, sometimes you just need a Disney movie right? We both had never seen this one. I've been listening to the song "just one day" with the kids, unsure if I'll have them watch it just yet, lots of hellfire haha
The Poppies are this SATURDAY March 2nd! I’m so happy I’m getting this sickness over with before then. There are still a hundred things to get ready but there has been so so much help from our moderators and Mr. Jordan that this quite literally could not happen without them!
Extra Butter Live will be on Wednesday 2/28 at 8:30MST. It might be a watch-along to an episode or two of ST?
Hope you are having a great week,
See you at the movies!
Cassie

Here's a request spies like us dan ackroudchevy ,
Hope you feel better Cassie!
I wont vote on the ST polls. I don't know enough to be a valid vote, but I'm looking forward to the results!!
I am new here and just watched your reaction to "Ghost". If you like Whoopi Goldberg, consider reacting to "Jumping Jack Flash". Great 80's comedy.
After Masters of the air please consider the new show Shōgun. Omg it is an amazing show. The reviews are insane
One of the few books in my DNF pile. Not sure if it was me or the writing, but I couldn't slog through that one. I'll trust your word and give the show a chance this weekend (supposed to be rainy and cold on Sat)
Was watching your reaction to twister. In my lifetime I have seen many tornados. One basically wiped a town away and another did tremendous damage to Tuscaloosa, AL. You can find video online.
I used to get sick alot for work, and it made me miserable. I can't work at all when I'm sick, so I always end up taking the time off. After COVID, I now work from home, and I never get sick. I realized that the only reason I was getting sick is because no one else takes care of themselves, they come into work, and they get everyone else sick. It's so selfish, because it's the same people who then give me crap for taking time off. I would need time off if they didn't get me sick in the first place. Anyway, if you are anything like me, you feel super guilty, but you also know you need the rest. Please know that I would personally prefer you to take the time you need and to not feel guilty about it! It's doubly hard for you because you are a mother, but I hope you can somehow find the rest you need!
Dear Cassie, I am so sorry to hear you are not feeling well! You are always so bubbly during your reviews that it lifts my spirits. My hope is you'll be your old self again soon. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Speaking of Austin Butler have you seen Elvis? Great movie!
Star Trek TNG!!!
Looking forward to Masters of the Air, maybe revisit watching Memphis Belle.
sleepers, hangover, blood diamond all great movies.
I do love Disney movies. They remind me of simpler times. They take away my anxiety and depression. Yeah you just can't go wrong with a Disney flick. Great choice Cassie. Like I said you have excellent taste you know to pick good movies.
Oh boy, Hunchback. I hope you’re prepared for simultaneously easily the most evil Disney villain of all time and the most over-the-top slapstick goofy comic relief side characters of all time. Severe tonal whiplash in that movie. Though I do love it. Has my all time favourite Disney villain song.
Weird stretch of movies/TV shows lately, at least for me. I'm sure someday it will turn around though. At least I can look forward to Lincoln!
Maybe she gets the hint with these comments but I fear it’s time to cancel.
"I know i’m sick a lot" [Mom voice:] Maybe if you didn't spend all this time in bed watching movies and occasionally got up and went out...! :-P :-) I have no objection as such to a third party polling option. I *do* have a visceral dislike to any option that requires new registrations (as opposed to PopcornRequests, the Poppies vote, and the Western bracket).
Maybe popcorn makes you sick.
Hunchback has some familiar voices Tom Hulce as The Hunchback was in the movie "Parenthood" as Steve Martin's brother who skips out of town at the end leaving his son with the grandfather and the voice of Phoebus is Kevin Kline who you just saw playing the president in "Dave" .
Wind River
No Joke, that is an amazing movie. I was left speechless as the movie touched something deep in my soul. Being Native American this one really hit me on a personal level.
Meanwhile, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike, a Classic Horror Poll lies in wait.
Maybe an episode or two of Star Trek?...Don't toy with me young lady, let's do this!
Yay Masters of the Air! Should be over by the time you catch up to it, so we won't have to do the waiting game every week for a reaction like with other channels.
Her edits are so tight, beats subscribing to Apple!
Yayyyy! Glad to see you getting onboard MOA
Get well. Looking forward to Lincoln, but no rush. Masters of the Air and TNG are awesome content.
Hope u get feeling better
Hey Cassie, have you considered doing some old Disney Movies. Live Action: *Swiss Family Robinson *Parent Trap *Freaky Friday *Old Yeller *Pollyanna *The Cat From Outer Space *Bedknobs And Broomsticks *Pete's Dragon Animated Classics: *The Sword In The Stone *The Rescuers *Lady And The Tramp *Alice In Wonderland *The Aristocats
I would focus more on the animated movies then their live-action movies because it is where Disney excels
If you can find it, The Hunchback (1997) would be a very good companion watch for the Disney version. It stars Salma Hayek and Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya from Princess Bride). I see someone has uploaded it to YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3RAQtxqmS4
Wow! I don't know if I'm ready for TNG! I thought maybe she would be doing it sometime down the road, but NO! Cassie's on it. Ok. Well....I'll stock up on cocoa and get the blankets ready.
I don't see Lady and the Tramp in Cassie's letterboxd. That's a favorite of mine.
Whoops. Picked a bad week to get rid of Disney+.
Unless I’ve missed a video I wonder what a solo Carly watch along would be like.
Don’t worry about Lincoln too much. Take care of yourself. You’re no good to your family or this channel if you’re sick. Rest up Cassie. We’ll still be here
Interesting line-up. Hunchback of Notre Dame is good, although I'm no fan of Esmerelda and there might be one or two too many songs. The animation is spectacular. It hurts us all when you are sick, so please focus on getting better. We understand if there are delays. Ready for the extra butter and excited for the Poppies. Best wishes, Cassie.
I keep wanting to suggest Random Harvest from 1943, starring Ronald Colman, and Greer Garson. Cassie gets so emotionally involved, I'd love to see her go through a whole box of klennex at the last scene. Ronald Colman should have gotten and Academy Award for the best acting ever seen, from the back, for that last scene. Trouble is, though it is a great movie, it probably isn't known well enough to win any polls. The book was written by James Hilton, who also wrote Lost Horizons, and Goodby Mr. Chips.
Please, Please keep suggesting… Random Harvest (1942)… a terrific Classic Romance, directed by Mervyn LeRoy, starring Ronald Colman, Greer Garson and Henry Travers. And… Lost Horizon (1937), directed by Frank Capra, starring Ronald Colman, Jane Wyatt and Thomas Mitchell. Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939)… directed by Sam Wood, starring Robert Donat, Greer Garson and Paul Henreid. And Two films that James Hilton wrote the screenplays for… Camille (1936)… directed by George Cukor, starring Greta Garbo, Robert Taylor and Lionel Barrymore. Mrs. Miniver (1942)… directed by William Wyler, starring Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Teresa Wright and Henry Travers
According to the app you haven't seen Disney's Snow White from 1937. Is this correct?
Another must-see. A true revolutionary game-changer in animation history.
O M G Disney and TNG?! I truly hope Cassie at least personally delves into the greatness that is all of TNG/DS9, but I understand capturing the highlights for YT... just know there's some of us that'd support the whole thing!!
Personally I am a long time Voyager fan. Janeway was the best Captain!
I just watched The Little Mermaid (1989) and Aladdin (1992) the weekend before last. So, I know what you mean. I’m here for it.
Two flagship films in the Disney Renaissance that still hold up today. I remember how exciting it was when those came out.
Well Cassie I hope you feel better I know exactly what you are going through being sick a lot. My girlfriend has kids my best friends have kids and my older sister has kids. They all get sick often. You take your time. Get well. Everything else can wait your what matters. Take care of yourself. I really mean that.
A long time ago, after you watched AMADEUS, I remember asking you if you'd ever seen Disney's THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTE DAME (because Tom Hulce, the actor who played Mozart, voiced Quasimodo in it) and you admitted that you had not. Ever since then I've been hoping you would watch it and now my prayers have been answered. I am so looking forward to that reaction. HUNCHBACK is my all-time favorite Disney animated feature and by far their most mature and underrated. A powerful, ambitious and gorgeous work of art. Sorry you've been sick. I don't know if it will make you any better, but it certainly won't hurt. :-)
THAT SETTLES IT. I am praying for SILVERADO and VISION QUEST.
90's villans hit different. They were actual bad guys and we're here for it
They don't really have traditional villains in family movies anymore and zi miss that.
Finally another football movie! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Exactly! I always suggested it for football season, lol
Cassie, please don’t apologize for being sick. You are a mom of three young kids, and you have a very active lifestyle. Between a trip to Florida and WDW, and everything you’re trying to accomplish for the PIB community, your immune system was bound to take a hit. The important thing is for you to get better for you, Ben, and your kids. We’ll all be here no matter what. As a side note, its been a long time since I’ve seen it with my girls, but I watched the other night Monsters Vs Aliens with Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, and Keifer Sutherland. I forgot how good this movie is!! Anyway, I love the curveball you put in this week’s Upcoming with The Hunchback of Norte Dame, and I thought you might like another suggestion for another animated movie to react to ( if you haven’t seen it yet). Feel better soon!
I feel the same way about her being sick - especially when kid bring home every illness known to human kind like gum stuck to their shoes. I only wish she lived closer because my wife and I are notorious for bring food over to sick and injured friends (it helps that I've only been sick once in the last 20+ years. I never even caught Covid after being directly exposed more than a dozen times. I accredit this to a significant Diet Coke addiction, but doctors have yet to agree...). Get well soon and God bless, Cassie!
Yes masters of the air is pretty good
I watched the first episode and I found it pretty dry. It just didn't grab me, even though I love the subject matter and the lead. Should I give it another try?
A good cartoon on occassion is a guilty pleasure of mine, to this day. Even the princess ones, don't tell anyone. Today on a whim, after seeing this post, I went to your popcornrequests.com site and looked it up and was shocked to discover neither you, nor Carly have ever seen "Balto" and I am stunned. It truly is one of the greatest cartoons ever made. If it hadn't been overshadowed by the excellent "Toy Story" it would have been a smash. It is probably the greatest "inspired by true events" cartoon ever made, hands down. Assuming if you guys haven't seen it, neither have the kids and this makes me sad. :(
If you're looking for an animated film to watch, may I respectfully suggest dipping your toe in the Studio Ghibli output? You and your kids would love MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO, for instance.
She has already dipped her toe with Spirited Away. The problem with Studio Ghibli is they are very copyright strike happy.
ST TNG are much longer seasons, so I think you should do at least 6-8 episodes from each season.
If you're looking for animated films, might I suggest The Fox and the Hound and/or The Secret of NIMH?
Two of my favorites.
I might hold of in the kids for Hunchback…I remember being in the theater and after the “Hellfire” song (which is amazing but also all about the villain’s lust for Esmeralda) , it ends and in that moment of silence a little boy says to his dad, “what was that all about?” It was pretty hilarious. But definite themes that went right over the little one’s heads.
Cassie, I am so sorry to see you have been so sick and please don't feel guilty. We have had it too, I was so sick but thankfully after the boys were feeling better, it was our 3rd go around with being so sick and that isn't counting the common colds we had. I am praying for you. Mary
Im glad you're feeling better, there has so much going around this year!
Sorry you have been sick lately, hope you're feeling better soon.
Thank you, Cassie! Hope all is well. Also - new trailer for KEVIN COSTNER'S new 4-Part Movie Series HORIZON. Looks fantastic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYsReoZMj1k
I had heard a while back Kevin Costner was working on another Western film. Just watched it. That is the Coolest, Greatest Thing I can remember seeing in a very, very long time. I immediately watched it again after the first. I never do that with a trailer. I have got tears in my eyes still now, as I’m typing. I Cannot Wait. God Bless Kevin Costner!
Please get well soon, Cassie! Wear hazmat suits, if you have 'em! 😏 So looking forward to the DDL/Abe flick! HUNCHBACK OF ND with sis sounds like a lot of fun! Poll-A-Mania today has been a great distraction and entertainment in itself! Lively comments as always (strangling motion - lol 🤣) It is great hearing about Mr. Jordan. I haven't heard anything from him/about him in so long! When I first joined the Discord he was very active in there, and I miss his being there!
Just a random thought it would be fun to go back more than a hundred years ago. Cassie after you watch the cartoon, watch the first Hunchback movie in 1923 staring the amazing Lon Chaney. And then watch the 1957 movie about his life staring James Cagney the film is called "A Mann of a Thousand Faces" There are plenty of 1930s gangster films that Cagney stared in, and that might be fun for another time. You will also enjoy, as I've said before Yankee Doodle Dandy for July 4 and James Cagney in "Love Me or Leave Me" with Doris Day. In fact, maybe during the later half of 2024 you might want to create a gangster poll from movies in the 30s, 40s, and 50s.
You have had a lot of great recommends today, first with the Burt Lancaster (one of my favorite actors) and now with James Cagney (one of my ALL TIME favorites) and the Classic Era Gangster Poll idea. Of course highlights of that poll would be both ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES and THE ROARING TWENTIES, both with Cagney and Humphrey Bogart. I have long wanted YANKEE DOODLE DANDY for the fourth of July. Great ideas!!
So sorry to hear you are not feeling well. That must be why your eyes are closed on the screen caps for All The Pres's Men and 13 Days posts. I thought maybe you were punking us for an EYES WIDE SHUT joke. Hope you feel better. Go fill your PiB tumbler with OJ and rest.
Looks like a good lineup. Still waiting for that starship troopers to drop lol
Sorry to hear you're sick again- feel better soon! I'm finally back to work (woot!) and lucky for me I'll be home by 2030 MST...An episode or 2 of ST though? My vote is a no (much prefer the hangouts) but I'll be there regardless.
Two series I wish Cassie would consider: Pushing Daisies and the 2000s version of Battlestar Galactica. Pushing Daisies had far too few episodes (only 22 episodes), killed by a network that I believe didn’t understand what it had. It’s a wonderful blend of love story and fantasy and murder mystery. Battlestar Galactica would require more of a time commitment but is one of the all time great sci-fi series. I believe Cassie would be hooked after the opening miniseries.
I'll second Pushing Daisies - really unique and fun series. Super charming.
Hunchback of Notre Dame is probably the worst of the movies from The Little Mermaid to Tarzan. But it's not that bad really.
I'm not sure if I ever just need a Disney movie specifically but the Hunchback is a GREAT choice for an animated film! It strays from some of the familiar cliches and has an amazing soundtrack. The song Hellfire is definitely in my top 3 disney songs.
Hunchback of Notre Dame is magnificent and criminally under-rated as a Disney film or an animate film in general. I suspect the much more adult themes and the operatic nature of the movie just gave it an 'un-Disney' feel for some, but dang, that musical score/soundtrack is one of the best they've ever produced.
Amen.
Cool :)
I think a watch along for the 2 part Premiere of Star Trek: TNG would be great! I'd love that. Also looking forward to The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. Seriously underrated Disney movie. It's gonna be a great week with all the reactions and the Poppies!
Sorry to hear you were ill again Cassie. If it's a cold or flu, I always find drinking lots of orange juice/Vitamin C and lots of hot drinks (and a shot of whiskey!) really helps. Get well soon! Also I really enjoyed you and Carly's reaction to All the Presidents Men (1976); There is a really interesting vintage 1976 making of documentary about it on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAtnhhvPPiQ
I am a sufferer of migraines, so I get to get out doing stuff all the time. I don’t even feel guilty about it - all of these non-allergic, hyper-immune, toddler-free people walking around… with their “I feel great today” attitudes, lol. Team Kleenex! I’m getting a letterman jacket with a -K. Looking forward to Lincoln and TNG (they said it was unlikely). Fingers crossed for “Forever Young”, but all of those choices were really good.
Hot take. Hunchback of Notre Dame has the greatest soundtrack of any Disney movie. Even more than Lion King. “The Bells of Notre Dame” is so epic and operatic.
HUNCHBACK is my favorite Disney animated feature.
Get well soon 🤞🙏💙
So pleased to see Hunchback coming to the channel. I hope this leads to more animated film reactions in the future.
Ditto.
I can't wait for Lincoln and Silver Linings Playbook, I think Cassie is really going to like those. I feel like people have led Cassie astray with the Tarantino recs though. She should have watched Jackie Brown rather than some of the ones people have picked for her. It's his least violent film and is almost a bit romantic. I like the Kill Bill movies, but they're really not at all the kind of things I'd have recommended for Cassie.
There are some of us who have seen the Full Reaction already. Do you want to know if She liked it or not?
I’m kind of new here so sorry if this isn’t the right place, but if you haven’t considered watching something in honor of St. Patrick’s Day could I suggest The Commitments? It’s about people in Ireland starting a soul band and features some really great musical performances. Just a suggestion and I haven’t seen it in a long time but I think people would like it.
ONCE would be another good one.
Working with the creative team is a joy. We are so proud of this silly little awards show, and I am proud of all my teammates who produce such great content. I am honored to just be a little part of it. Mr. Jordan, ItsMeDave, COLETON & KL are champions!We hope you all have fun!! watching!
Really appreciate all the work you guys do with the channel. Watching Cassie & Carly has been a blessing to me and so many others. Cheers!
Love hunchback. Song is actually called "Out There". It's such a beautiful song. The whole soundtrack is beautiful. I can't wait to see what you thought of it ❤️
The music in HUNCHBACK is sublime.
At this point, you might as well finish watching all the Daniel Day Lewis, Denzel Washington, and Tom Cruise movies. Might have to start doing a poll just for your fave actors PIB has exposed you to
I would love to see Popcorn and Popcorn’s Mom watch Daniel Day Lewis in LAST OF THE MOHICANS.
Yay! Anytime is a great time for Disney!
God bless you Cassie. I can't tell you how excited I am to see you watching Star Trek the Next Generation! I'm also surprised that you haven't seen Hunchback of Notre Dame. I remember seeing that one in theaters as a kid when it first came out!
Oooo the watch along the 2 part premiere of TNG would be awesome
You should see a doctor about your frequent illnesses....just to be on the safe side.
I agree!! I don’t have kids but I swear all my friends who do have kids in school are sick at least once a month. But doesn’t hurt to get checked out
Hope you feel better soon.👍
Love this week’s lineup.
