Comments

Jareedy

Where game of thrones 😭😭

Omar

Cassie’s pics, they always good

Brian McGovern

Woah. Gonna be loving ANOTHER reactor doing GOT series.

Anthony Carlson

I would give Cassie’s Picks poll a try….

Jon Johns

Cassie can you 'define' monster movies? Like, the mummy or Frankenstein? Or King Kong & Godzilla??

JohnnyUtah

I bet it will be around 12 am est. Sadly, have to wait to next weekend.

Ike

Cassie’s Pick Poll. October is right around the corner - and I don’t do PIB horror - so let’s get it.

Cole Jennett

Read what she wrote on the post

Cole Jennett

That was my first choice too

Jareedy

Same I work at six I’ll stay up till 12 but after that I’m tapping out😂 damn I’ve been waiting for this

WestBound

Sunday night early Monday usually drops around 1am

Brian McGovern

Man that is quick. I placed my vote and there were 3 in total. Refresh the screen and there are 120 plus in a matter of seconds. What”s it like being popular, I wonder?🤣

Cole Jennett

Agreed, because if it means Godzilla 2014, I’m going to choose it as well

JohnnyUtah

Hopefully Timecop! My favorite Van Damme. You should also add a 1980s poll. There's about 10-15 films you'd love missing reactions to.

WestBound

I'm not sure what other 90s action movies she can watch ...I mean good ones

Art of Free Speech

I think I set a record for refreshing my email today!!! So excited for GoT!!!!!

Katie Jackson

I would personally consider all of those monster movies, but that's just me. I don't know if other people would or not

Art of Free Speech

I agree! Why not let her watch something she really wants to watch, right?

Bill Maurer

I'm in the mood for another Western. If memory serves me right, The Searchers was the last Western you reacted to. I could be mistaken. PS : thanks for reacting to it. Much, much appreciated

Michael G

Cassie needs more Westerns in her life. Come on patreon peeps, let's do our part.

Art of Free Speech

I was checking my email over and over today. SO excited to see Cassie tackle this.

Richard Maurer

Doesn’t really matter to me, as long as it has monsters of some kind. But having it defined might help the cause.

Edgar Gonzalez

For 90s action I nominate "Broken Arrow", "The last boyscout" or "Rush Hour"

diego kontarovsky

halloween is coming up, so we need more monster movies!

Darren Harrison

I don’t even understand some of the categories. What is “apocalyptic” in movie terms?

Gray

Haha that was my thought, well get stuff like Stop or my Mom will shoot eventually 😳

LukeG84

I know it’s not going to win, but I’m voting for the What’s Next Poll. I really want Cassie to watch SPLIT and it fits that poll criteria to a tee. It’s the second movie in an M. Night Shyamalan trilogy 19 years in the making, starring James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy, and it would make for one hell of a reaction video.

Cole Jennett

Post-apocalyptic? I initially thought of disaster type movies for some reason so clarification wouldn’t hurt

Shehab Dawoud

90’s action movies? Haven’t we done almost all of those? I’m wondering which ones of consequence are still left. I think thriller or mystery would’ve been more fitting, so many good ones left. It’s a bit similar to Spielberg being on the last poll. Let’s venture out just a little bit… I’ll go for Cassie’s picks, I’m actually curious. As long as it’s not some romantic nonsense.

Dan M

I’m interested in seeing what movies would be in a Cassie’s Picks Poll. I’m hoping for some 80s and 90s rom coms or comedy/dramas like Nine Months, She’s Having a Baby, School Ties, Mystic Pizza, Mask, Some Kind of Wonderful, With Honors, Patch Adams, Tootsie, In and Out, St Elmo’s Fire, or That Thing You Do.

LukeG84

Looking forward to GOT reactions, but it’s nearly 3am here and I’m tired. Will have to watch them tomorrow.

Brent Petty

Under Siege is the only one that immediately comes to mind. I'm sure there are others, but I can't recall specific titles.

Dork Diggler

Phenomenon with John Travolta

Shehab Dawoud

Steven Seagal? I’d rather watch a romance then.

Cole Jennett

I think she’s seen That Thing You Do, or at least I feel like I left it off my request list for that reason. I don’t think I could watch Patch Adams again, IYKYK

WestBound

Actually yea BLOODSPORT

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

I'm looking forward to the end of summer now; I find it really hard to sleep during hot nights!

Dan M

You must have fallen out of your chair when you saw that 😂

Wesley White

I vote 90's action movie, because if there's a chance Cutthroat Island can be a part of that poll, YAH!!!🥳lol! Can't help it Cassie, I'm so eager for you and Carly to react to that movie, heck lately, I've not only been watching the movie like crazy recently, I've also been listening to its soundtrack while at work like crazy lol! Can't help it, the soundtrack is so good, it rivals Pirates of the Caribbean's soundtrack lol! Hope it makes the poll if 90's action poll wins 😁✌️🌹

thansen

Watched that last year, so much better than expected.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

I voted for Cassie's Picks Poll; I wonder if Empire of the Sun (1987) might be one of the picks???

Dan M

Maybe a mix of both classic monster movies and Kaiju monster movies? Or maybe a poll for each?

Chad Laurence

I want her to see The Man in the Iron Mask cause I know she'll like it, since her and Carly both really liked The Count of Monte Cristo, but I doubt it's considered a 90s action movie lol. Even though it does have action in it.

TechPriest

Generally speaking, it's a genre of movie that deals with something that will end the planet, or all humans on the planet, in a world setting where there are no known easy answers. Deep Impact, War of the Worlds, Zombieland, Terminator II, and Edge of Tomorrow are all apocalyptic movies. Avengers: Infinity Wars and Star Wars are not, because even though they have problems easily capable of destroying worlds and/or civilizations, there are in universe obvious counters: super heroes and Jedi in this example.

Walter

I mean, all of these have potential, but I went with Cassie's picks. She watches a lot for her audience, so I like when she picks something that she's interested in.

Dan M

Couldn’t agree with you more. Especially after Sin City went over so well.

Dan M

Didn’t even hesitate to hit that button.

Clay F

Under Siege is Seagal's best but there has been way too many 90's action movies on the channel. Tiresome. We don't need more.

Richard Maurer

Yeah, but now it has to actually win against some of these other poll choices, which it should, but I have my doubts it will.

Rick Rodriguez

I went apocalypse and western. So I'm losing...😔

Walter

That is a good one.

keoma songs

A good western for a poll: KEOMA (1976). My namesake and often regarded rightfully as the best of the 'twilight' spaghetti westerns. The music is instantly love or hate (most people HATE lol). The story is properly elegiac and introspective from filmmakers and cast who knew that the wonderful decade of the spaghetti western had come to an end, financially devastating an entire community of artists, actors, stuntmen, extras, etc. Other Spaghetti Westerns I think should be considered are THE GREAT SILENCE (1968), THE BIG GUNDOWN (1967), and THE RETURN OF RINGO (1965)

Walter

crossing my fingers for The Philadelphia Story

Cole Jennett

Pacific Rim would qualify that way Dan, so I like where your mind is at😉

Tim Weaver

90s action movies because Long kiss Goodnight (1996) Last Boy Scout (1991) Executive Decision (1996)

Andrew Heller

90s action and it should be broken arrow

Rick Rodriguez

Yes to Last Boy Scout and Long Kiss. ED is fun too.

Above Average Dave

Cassie’s Picks Poll - time to give back to the person who brings us all together.

Tim Weaver

Forgot Timecop.was thinking universal soldier was 90s

JohnnyUtah

Both are classic 90s!

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

If there was a choice of Return to James Bond movies poll, I may well have voted for that!

Flounder

How about this suggestion: patrons submit trailers and then Cassie does a livestream where she watches them and picks what she wants to watch next based on the trailers?

Richard Maurer

This channel doesn’t really need more mediocre action movies - imo.

Darren Harrison

@Cole. It doesn’t say “post apocalypse” though. I can think of plenty of those. “Apocalyptic” would have to be planet killing disasters like “The Core”, “2012”, “Deep Impact”

MrKsummer7

Going through this Google search: List of action films of the 1990s. Cassie, you’ve seen most of the good ones now. Perhaps you should choose a different decade, such as the 1970s or 1960s.

Uncle Phoenix

I had to vote for “90’s action”. I was watching Cassie’s reaction to “Heat” (1995), Cassie’s all, “Hurry, hurry. Cops are… wait... I don’t want the bad guys to win.” It totally reminds me of that other reaction where Cassie was trying to think of a better way of killing the bad guy. (I forget which reaction that was.)

Joe J

Cassie can do her own poll in addition to a Pollception.

Walter

that's a neat idea

Clay F

Cassie's Picks Poll. Give her what she wants and/or likes. For all of you complaining about what Sin City (and other movies) did to her, now is time for you to step up and vote Cassie's Picks Poll. No telling what she would get with 90s Action Movies -- a mediocre 90s action movie, or movies like Blade (1998) or Total Recall (1990) she didn't like, or akin to late 80s Highlander or Robocop she didn't like.

Justtired

I’m quite concerned about this one. I feel GoT is well outside Cassie’s comfort zone. But, I’ve certainly been wrong before.

Walter

I love The Last Boyscout

K, Zachary

Why are we all here? Not just to watch movies but for CASSIE! and the Occasional Carly. Since she is so good to us. Without asking anything in return. I think we should do something for her. A Cassie poll seems like the way to go. However everyone should do what they think is right. The Dirty Harry series gets my vote for the next franchise.

JPDotCom23

'Clear & Present Danger' is 90's action, so is 'The Last Boy Scout'

Benjamin Gerrald

Pass. I mean.. What about either of the Midway films, they both have their flaws, but they mean something. Or Michael Collins, or some esoteric but meaningful stuff like Wizards or Hawk the Slayer? I will even send you the discs. But I fear people are going to keeo voting in banal stuff or border porn like sin city. I mean, I liked sin city because I read the comic, but I knew you would hate it. In my humble opinion of course.

Erik Locquiao

If there’s a 90’s action poll, I really hope “The 13th Warrior” is on there.

Clay F

Philip -- ditto

Rick Williams

Caesar's pick? That could be dangerous. We don't want to spoil her. But okay. She has been good this year except when she ran off to Canada and stayed to long. We can let her pick.

Uncle Phoenix

OR maybe put all the trailers in the Pick-A-Flick skillet and watch the first ones to “Pop”.

Walter

I no longer underestimate Cassie's comfort zone. I thought for sure she wouldn't be able to handle The Thing, but she ended up enjoying it. Still, GOT will be rough, I believe. Not that I think she won't like it, but it's hard of its characters (is how I'll put it without spoilers).

Joe J

You like rom-coms I see. 😆

Uncle Phoenix

You forgot “Absolute Power” (1997).

Walter

Love Dirty Harry

Clay F

I voted western (my top choice) but will never win.

Ian Tonge

Speaking of monsters, is it too early for Scary But Not Too Scary suggestions? Bubba Ho-Tep (2002) - Bruce Campbell stars as Elvis Presley facing off against an evil mummy in a retirement home. As silly as it sounds. Idle Hands (1999) - Goofy stoner/horror comedy. Seth Green and Jessica Alba are in supporting roles. The Offspring (the band) also turn up for some reason. Maximum 90s. As for the poll, I've gone for Cassie's Picks. I'm all for Cassie watching something she's itching to get to.

Dan M

I wasn’t sure if she had seen That Thing You Do, and I was too lazy to go over to Popcorn Requests to check 😂. And I know what you’re referring to with Patch Adams. I still think it’s one of Robin Williams best performances though, and the overall message of the movie is positive.

Uncle Phoenix

OR in the flow of Road Warrior maybe include the two great “Westerns” "The Man From Snowy River” (1982) and “Quigley Down Under” (1990)

Joe J

Maybe Under Siege?

Cole Jennett

She’s seen Clear and Present Danger on the channel already

Gray

I've gone for Apocalyptic & Casssie picks, either way we'd hopefully get some great movies. Wonder if zombies movies e.g Dawn of the Dead would count in the Apocalyptic bracket.

Dan M

Never give up hope. But I think a lot of patrons are probably thinking that’s a poll better suited for October. Not that I agree with that. I can watch monster movies whenever.

Cole Jennett

Downside is she will go in less blind. I always find it kind of fun when she discovers an actor she had no idea was in the movie. But not the worst idea I’ve seen

Uncle Phoenix

I agree. Heck, it’s probably the only thing that would get me to watch “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” or “The Yaya sisterhood”.

Aaron Mann

She’s reacted to Clear and Present already. LBS would be good though. More Tony Scott is always good.

Cole Jennett

I didn’t get the impression that she enjoyed The Thing.

Clay F

Justtired, while I generally agree with your comments, no offense here in that I think you are wrong. First, her comfort zone was broader pre-channel than most patrons realize. Second, she has evolved on the channel to have an even broader comfort zone. Further, currently and importantly, the breadth of her comfort zone is flexible and not fixed -- expands with content she is invested. Lastly, I think she welcomes to be pushed out of her comfort zone to react to stellar content.

Cole Jennett

Yeah, it may encapsulate both, and I’d be fine with that

Dan M

And War of the Gargantuas.

Joe J

Cassie's Picks = more rom-coms. Be afraid. 😳

Clay F

I think Cassie's Picks will much more than rom-coms. I am hoping for romance dramas, but there will be more than romance. There is much non-romance content she likes.

Richard Maurer

This poll is unfortunately shaping up to be a two-way race between 90’s action and Cassie’s picks.

Patrick Flanagan

Since she just wrapped up the original MAD MAX trilogy and mentioned curiosity about the genre, I'm guessing it's post-apocalyptic

Clay F

I voted western -- my top choice -- but no way will win -- yet maybe 3rd hopefully beating What's Next Poll (mediocre sequels). I voted Cassie's Picks Poll b/c curious and give her movies she likes, but primarily an effort to deny 90's actions movies the win.

Clay F

That's why I voted Cassie's picks. Anything to prevent 90’s action from winning.

Dan M

Yeah, there’s a very good chance there would be a lot of mediocre 90s action movies in that poll. Cassie deserves some love, laughter, and happy tears for at least a week’s worth of reactions.

Dan M

Amen

JPDotCom23

Oh yeah, that's right, then I'll suggest 'The Godfather Part III'

Clay F

+1 for Michael Collins.

Tim Weaver

It's funny it's my least favourite David Baldacci novel.. gene Hackman basically plays his character from no way out ..but yes it's a reasonably well done adaptation. The one that sprung to mind as I was tapping this response was is Murder at 1600 (1997)

Uncle Phoenix

why not? I’ve actually never seen “The Notebook” (2004).

Andrew Heller

Im all for the feel good stories, but when it gets to the 1940s to 1960s stuff, i just check out, its too bad she didnt put thriller on this because i feel like she really likes those ones too

Dan M

Not a bad idea, but trailers sometimes give away major plot points and, like Cole said, she could be going in knowing more than she ought to.

Cole Jennett

I think it’s more a chance for her to gauge the actual interest in her picks, and I’m happy to see that it’s high

Dan M

Here here

Jacob Neff

Given it's an option, why wouldn't we want Cassie to get to pick?

Andrew Heller

People complaining about the 90s actions? She liked con air, face off, fugitive, speed, true lies, the rock…thats why if it wins, WE GOTTA PICK THE RIGHT ONE

Richard Maurer

Cassie picks something every month. And it’s usually a movie I end up skipping.

Joe J

Yikes, this runs for 10 days. Wake me went it's over, lol.

Dan M

Oooh, nice pick!

Richard Maurer

lol, I’ve seen a bit of it, which was more than enough. Edit: actually it might have been Silver Linings Playbook - same difference though.

Clay F

Richard -- yeah but this gives her an additional pick and with patron input.

Oisin Clissmann

I love 90's action movies but off the top of my head, Cassie has already watched Speed, Demolition Man, The Rock, Con Air, Cliffhanger, Blade, Starship Troopers, Total Recall, Last Action Hero, and there's probably many more. What's left? Van Damme movies perhaps? I love a good cheesy JCVD action movie but it seems like she's done this category enough. I also voted Cassie's picks.

Joe J

Her picks are her picks, we don't need a say in that IMO.

Clay F

Too risky in picking the right one. I mean Sin City just won a poll. Plus, the channel has had enough 80s/90s action movies.

Stick Figure Studios

Even though it probably won't win, 'll go with westerns. We could use a few more classic examples of that genre on the channel. I'll also vote for Cassie's picks because that might give EMPIRE OF THE SUN or MIDNIGHT RUN another shot .

Cole Jennett

Richard we were gaining so much ground you and I, lol. You just threw it away dissing SLP😂

Stick Figure Studios

It's got my vote too. Wc could use some more classic westerns on the channel.

Clay F

I have nostalgia for “The 13th Warrior”

Shawn Kildal

I wish I knew what exactly what Cassie's picks would be so I could make more of an educated vote. Most of the top action 90's movies have been reacted to already one would think. Executive Decision with Kurt Russell would be my favorite of what's left.

Clay F

I love the first Dirty Harry

Shawn Kildal

US Marshall, the sequel to The Fugitive would be another.

Richard Maurer

I gotta be honest. Every rom-com I ever attempted to watch just seemed as bad as the last one I couldn’t finish. Closest thing to a rom-com that I actually made it through was Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and I barely made it through that.

Joe J

Would have been better if she had picked 2000 to present action films.

Happy Hanukkah

It seems blindingly obvious that this category is intended to finally usher in Hard Target (1993)! :-)

Richard Maurer

It’s pretty close to over now, unfortunately.

Clay F

Glad to see Cassie's Picks now in the lead (even if barely), but I think 90's action movies will win. Not even really a poll. No other choice except Cassie's Picks stands a chance. There have been way too many 80s/90's action movies on the channel. Tiresome.

Joe J

I picked westerns also. Mostly to get "Shane" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance".

Shawn Kildal

The Crazies and Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead should count for Apocoliptic movie poll. Those would be amazing reactions from Cassie

Jack

Cassie’s Picks! Hopefully Lost in Translation

Richard Maurer

Whatever, it’s not going to be the monster poll so I don’t give a - I’ll use Cassie’s word - frick.

Patrick

Not voting monster poll... it's already got an entire month dedicated to the genre. Cassie picks already gets one per month. 90s action is basically in rewatch territory. I'm gonna have to vote Western poll. And give a suggestion for it.. 'The Jack Bull' (1999) John Cusack, John Goodman, LQ Jones

Shawn Kildal

Magnum Force (the second Dirty Harry movie) ranks as one of my favorites as well.

Cole Jennett

I’m looking at Monster’s poll to be more like Godzilla and Kong, and I don’t consider them October movies.

Nolofinwe

No more monsters no more monkeys you did the Kongs you did the -apes for a while away how about some " Twin Peaks " Cassie it's truly groundbreaking. Dramatic quirky funny terrifying sexy romantic .

Richard Maurer

Love War of the Gargantuas - but it would never win a poll.

Richard Maurer

That would be my second choice - but neither of my choices can win this poll.

Joe J

Maybe she will show mercy and end it after 2 days, lol.

Clay F

You read my mind. She has mentioned Lost in Translation. A top request for me (included as my PAF a couple of times). Much prefer that, for example, over Robocop 2, Judge Dredd, Street Fighter, etc. Lost in Translation is No. 20 at Popcorn Requests.

Shawn Kildal

I have apprehension of what the 90's list could be. What the hey, I'll roll the dice and vote for Cassie's picks

Clay F

I voted western poll (my top choice) but won't win. The only 2 real choices in the poll that have a chance of winning are 90s action and Cassie's Picks. If you want to have influence in what wins, you could vote for one of those 2. But maybe you don't care.

Richard Maurer

If Cassie had added a promise not to pick any rom-coms I’d be more interested in Cassie’s picks as a choice.

Patrick

Yeah I can understand that, but how many non Halloween monster movies can there be, that would necessitate a poll?

MacGuffinStuff

A vote for Cassie's pick, but I'm wondering if it's a favorite or one she's been wanting to watch for the first time, I'm kind of assuming the latter, but either way.

YodatheHobbit

Maybe 90s action wins, and we get another chance for The Long Kiss Goodnight again.

Clay F

I do like Under Siege. I have nostalgia. That is the best Seagal movie. If I knew Under Siege would be a choice in the 90s action poll and would win, then I would feel more at ease with 90s action winning the Pollception.

Cole Jennett

That’s a good point as the new Monsterverse movies being a series, she could only start with Godzilla 2014

Morgan A. Colbert

I'm so sure whatever Cassie wants to watch will be a joy.

Clay F

Glad to see Cassie's Picks lead increasing. Give her what she wants or likes and w/patron input. If we do get an influx of GoT fans as patrons, I hope they influence polls away from 80s/90's action movies.

Joe J

Maybe a joy for her...maybe a nightmare for others.😂

Cole Jennett

I don’t think there would be many for her to choose from as she would have already watched them if she was aware of them.

Patrick

Can't be 100s Richard, just suffered through the 84 Planet of the Apes movies, that should cover the monster genre for at least 3 years haha

Stick Figure Studios

EXECUTIVE DECISION is good. U.S. MARSHALLS is decent. Interestingly, both were made by the same director; Stuart Baird, who was a fantastic editor. I also think she would enjoy DAYLIGHT.

Stick Figure Studios

Two great ones. I'd also like to see a reaction to STAGECOACH and HIGH NOON.

Happy Hanukkah

"G of T episode 1 and 2 dropping tonight" I'm glad to learn you'll be dropping GoT. :-|

Richard Maurer

Whatever ground we’ve gained shouldn’t be dependent on movie preferences. Clarence and I are friends, but we can barely tolerate many of each other’s movie picks.

Richard Maurer

She always seems to find new ones somehow.

Catherine LW

Lonesome Dove, although it’s a mini series.

Stick Figure Studios

Can you believe that as much as I love westerns, I've yet to see that?

Clay F

I would hope for "Pale Rider" or "High Plains Drifter (she would get past the objectionable scene). I did like Shane ok.

Richard Maurer

Hey, you asked how many could it be, I answered. :-)

Cole Jennett

Cassie is interested in more than just rom-com’s it’s silly to think they will make up the entire poll

Richard Maurer

And Planet of the Apes movies are not monster movies.

Matt Stafford

Howard Hawks, director of Bringing Up Baby, also made two great Westerns, Red River and Rio Bravo. Hope you watch one or both!

Clay F

I would like to have seen "Oscar Best Picture winners/nominees" as a replacement for 90's action in this Pollception. I will likely have a nightmare tonight of 90s action winning this Pollception w/the winner of the 90s action poll being Robocop 2, Judge Dredd, Timecop, or Street Fighter.

Dan

Go with Westerns !!! The girls need to see "Old Henry" !!!

Joe J

Cassie is using her "Creator" status to bend our minds too her will. Fight it people...😂

Clay F

Awesome movies she has mentioned or alluded to: --Lost in Translation (2003) --The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) --Lion (2016) (from her mom's list) --Thelma & Louise (1991)

Cole Jennett

I think it will likely be made up more of movies she’s expressed interest in watching from suggestions. There’s still no guarantee they will be to your liking😉

Joe J

Don't forget Predator 2...sweet dreams my friend. 😂

Clay F

Ha -- that is a nightmare

Joe J

Thelma & Louise could very well win her Poll.

Stick Figure Studios

Either of those would be great, but I particularly like RED RIVER.

Richard Maurer

Most zombie movies would work for a apocalyptic poll - but if that poll won I’d bet there wouldn’t be a zombie movie on it.

Stick Figure Studios

Twi great Eastwood-direcred westerns, Clay. I particularly like PALE RIDER and consider it a woefully under-appreciated film.

Richard Maurer

Probably not. When Cassie likes a movie I like it’s a surprise, and a rare one.

Clay F

Stick -- I think that is a minority perspective? I see Judge Dredd on worst movie lists. IMDb 5.6 (130,000 users), RT 21%, RT Audience 31% (100,000+ ratings). "Judge Dredd wants to be both a legitimate violent action flick and a parody of one, but director Danny Cannon fails to find the necessary balance to make it work."

Cole Jennett

The rarity for me being when she doesn’t like a movie that I do. Which is why you and I are always destined to clash a bit.😂

MikeLL

Oh, I will have to go with Cassie’s Picks Poll, that seems the one to go with! (But I voted for Westerns, too! )

Joe J

Clay - Movies are like ice cream...we can enjoy many flavors.😉

Clay F

Vote for our fearful leader. While a distant third, glad to see western in a respectable 3rd place. If ever a western poll, I suggest Pale Rider (1985) (the highest grossing western of the 1980s) as a candidate.

MikeLL

I like both of those also, along with his own remake of Rio Bravo, El Dorado with Wayne, Robert Mitchum and a very, very young James Caan!

Clay F

Those are my two votes.

Joe J

If Cassie doesn't drop GoT tonight...I think it only fair she has to watch Cannonball Run. 😉

Brent Petty

Presuming she means MST, they'll drop by 1AM for me.

dave

So excited about GoT. Legit one of the best shows of all time.

Mark Vaderr

The original "Phantom of the Opera" & "The Lost World". Both movies are celebrating their 100th anniversaries!

Cole Jennett

I’m staying up late to watch it, hopefully it drops soon. Sunday night seems super appropriate

Clay F

I respect both you and Stick, as well as respect as having different flavors. But you two are just reinforcing my nightmare.

Clay F

Awesome movies she has mentioned or alluded to that could be Cassie Picks (wishful thinking on my part -- I am open to whatever Cassie Picks she gives as choices for the poll): --Lost in Translation (2003) --The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) --Lion (2016) (from her mom's list) --Thelma & Louise (1991) She also wants to react to Superman (2025), which gets good reviews and a friend told me he thinks I would like Superman (2025). She might include the Chris Pine Jack Ryan, but this is all sheer speculation.

dave

Same. I knew it was coming soon, but this is such a pleasant surprise.

Mark Vaderr

There are good rom-coms out there that don't stick us with the likes of Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon and Julia Roberts. Cassie just has to dig deep to find them. She did watch Bringing Up Baby, and she loved it.

Teemu Laitinen

Be a first and watch Gandhi (1982). A biopic about a truly great guy. Not to mention a fantastic movie too!

Richard Maurer

Superman is the only movie you mentioned that I’d vote for.

Clay F

If there are no choices in the poll you would vote for, I guess that means you will simply not vote (not participate) -- which makes sense. I think she has already decided to react to Superman (2025) and thus may not be in a Casse's Picks poll.

Mark Vaderr

Richard- are there any rom-coms you do like? Granted the Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon sewage is frightening, but there are some good, fun and smart ones out there that are considerably older but very good.

Mark Vaderr

Richard- Cassie is going with "To Catch A Thief" as her Popcorn Pick this month. That's a good Hitchcock film.

Clay F

+ 1 for Gandhi (1982). Watched several times over the years. I had my son watch it with me as prep for our India trip. We went to Gandhi's house in Mumbai.

Mark Vaderr

Heaven, forbid! Thelma & Louise is so overrated.

Richard Maurer

Yeah, I don’t vote in polls just to vote. Bad form if you ask me. I never vote in rom-com polls for instance. I wish other people would do this. I know for a fact that some people who hate horror movies vote in the October horror polls.

Mark Vaderr

Man, you are terrified of what she may pick! 😂

Cole Jennett

I didn’t place a vote in the recent 1-300 poll

Richard Maurer

Dredd (2012) is a good movie. Judge Dredd (95) is trash.

Clay F

Richard -- good point. Sometimes I vote in a poll having no choices I like to choose the lesser of evils. However, there is typically at least one choice that I like. But that may be moot if that choice has no chance -- and I end up voting for lesser of the two evils that are the two leaders. Cole -- I am little surprised you didn't vote The Birdcage or Midnight Run.

Richard Maurer

I did say I usually skip them - not always.

Mark Vaderr

Voted for, Western, Cassie, What's Next & Monster. We need more westerns. Only voted What's Next in the hopes that "Airplane 2" is in it. We need a lot more Monster films, a lot! Cassie's picks is interesting.

TheSingulatarian

Then watch "Sexy Beast" (2000) just to see what a good actor Ben Kingsly is.

Richard Maurer

I haven’t seen that many of them but as to the ones I’ve seen - for me it’s like how some people feel about superhero movies - “this is silly, no way could this ever happen in the real world” I like at least some films from a majority of genres, even musicals. I have yet to see a rom-com I actually like.

TheSingulatarian

There are still a few good ones, but it is getting a bit thin in the 1990s action category.

Clay F

TheSingulatarian -- that's what I am thinking.

Richard Maurer

Hmm, I just considered Bringing Up Baby a comedy not a rom-com. Is there actually a rom-com I like? I googled it and it’s listed as comedy/family. IMDb lists it as screwball comedy/ comedy. My reputation is safe.

Mark Vaderr

I understand, there are some rom-coms I do like that are not of the typical formula and are quite funny. Granted, they are silly, but it's not real life. Check out movies like, "Housesitter", "Barefoot in the Park", "Forget Paris", and "The Goodbye Girl". These are all good movies without the same old boring premise.

Richard Maurer

I’ve seen The Goodbye Girl, for some reason. It was okay but that’s the best I can say about it.

Maisie

Yeah I'm going to be so tired tomorrow if it doesn't drop soon...It's later than Cassie's time for me. I can't wait, though; I've been excited all week for this!

Gray

Don Logan is something else haha

Stick Figure Studios

The new SUPERMAN is great. I daresay is the best Superman movie since the 1978 original. Cassie would love it.

Darren Harrison

Well if it is mislabeled in the poll, Cassie does have a thing for Mr Costner who appeared in “The Postman” and “Waterworld” 😀

Stick Figure Studios

I pretty much always vote in the polls because I have very eclectic tastes, so there's usually something I'd like to see get a reaction.

Gray

Just make it Action movies in any decade

Gray

Sadly alot of trailers give way too much away

Stick Figure Studios

PALE RIDER was my first Eastwood film and the first R-rated film I ever watched on TV (only the third R-rared movie I ever saw). I remember catching it on HBO in a hotel room on vacation with my family as a kid (my dad generously let me watch it) and thinking that it was a real "grown-up" movie, by which I mean a film that was not so much adult in its content (language, violence, sex) as in its sensibilities, its themes, its pace and its tone. It felt more "mature" than all the other movies I'd watched up to that point in my youth: darker, deeper, more sophisticated. I didn't quite understand it all (and I certainly didn't know how much it owed to SHANE) but I was spellbound and upon revisiting it recently found that I recalled a lot of it quite vividly despite not having seen it in many years, which spoke to its impact on me. Watching it now it strikes me as a good but imperfect film, a transitional work that Eastwood had to make in order to reach his true masterpiece UNFORGIVEN. Nonetheless, I still like PALE RIDER very much and can see why it was the highest grossing western of the 1980's.

Catherine LW

Always puzzled… who is the Sexy Beast?

Catherine LW

You owe it to yourself to see it. You will laugh and cry.

Richard Maurer

It’s rare that I don’t vote in a poll, but won’t vote just to vote. I’m not going vote for something I have no intention of watching.

Sam Hiraoka

Oh no Cassie's picks passed up 90s action movies. Who will watch Van Damme, Steven Seagal movies now?

Sam Hiraoka

I'd vote for Executive Decision/ Under Siege and Timecop/Sudden Death

Happy Hanukkah

Did I hear someone mention The Peanut Butter Solution (1985)?

Happy Hanukkah

Come on, Mark, surely you won't begrudge Cassie a young Brad Pitt! :-)

Happy Hanukkah

Well then, RM, you owe it to yourself to try Destination Wedding (2018). (That was me doing my utmost best to torch our friendship.)

Happy Hanukkah

"ED is fun too." I really don't see how. :-P :-P :-P

James UK

I’d add Broken Arrow into the mix. The World is Not Enough just makes it as well.

The Star Treker (aka Michael)

I'd love to see Cassie react to the entire DC Animated Universe. It wouldn't even take her that long to get through it—most episodes are just 20–30 minutes, and it's nowhere near as massive as the Star Trek universe, lol. I'm not sure how she feels about animated content, though. I know I've mentioned this universe in the chats recently, and from what I've seen, she's only reacted to a handful of animated stuff. I do know she's already reacted to one entry to it—Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993). This universe might have been aimed at a younger audience, but it's surprisingly mature and packed with incredible storytelling—especially when it comes to two of my favorite heroes, Superman and Batman. It dives deep into their worlds, along with the Justice League and so many great supporting characters, giving me backstories I never knew from the comics, the Richard Donner Superman movies with Christopher Reeve, the Tim Burton/Joel Schumacher Batman films with Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, and George Clooney, or even Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman before Superman: The Animated Series came along. I grew up absolutely loving this universe—it's one of the best I've ever experienced, right up there with my lifelong love for the Star Trek universe. Lol. The DC Animated Universe (DCAU) is a series of animated television shows and movies sharing a single continuity, starting with Batman: The Animated Series in 1992 and concluding with Justice League Unlimited in 2006. Here's a list of the main DCAU shows and movies in approximate chronological order: Shows: Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995) Superman: The Animated Series (1996-2000) The New Batman Adventures (1997-1999) - A continuation of Batman: The Animated Series. Batman Beyond (1999-2001) Static Shock (2000-2004) Justice League (2001-2004) Justice League Unlimited (2004-2006) Movies: Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero (1998) Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000) Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003) Batman and Harley Quinn (2017) Justice League vs. the Fatal Five (2019) One DCAU series I left off the main list is The Zeta Project (2001–2002). Sadly, it's pretty much vanished—no streaming anywhere, not even on HBO Max, which is weird considering every other DCAU series is there. There's not even a complete series box set I can find. Honestly, I don't think it's essential viewing anyway. Its only real tie to the DCAU is that it's a Batman Beyond spin-off—the main character, Zeta, appeared in just one Batman Beyond episode, which was basically a backdoor pilot for the show. As far as I know, no other DCAU characters show up in The Zeta Project. It's actually the only DCAU series I've never seen, even when it first aired. I didn't even realize it was part of the DCAU at the time, and apparently I forgot Zeta ever showed up in Batman Beyond, even though I've watched that whole series.

Richard Maurer

HH - Yeah, well I’m not a masochist so I’ll just go ahead and skip that one. That didn’t torch our friendship - but if that’s your goal it was a step in the right direction ;-)

Richard Maurer

It’s fairly rare that anyone mentions a film that I have to look up - bravo, sir.

Clarence Newman

It kind of sums up my general track record in Cassie’s polls that the ones I voted for are the bottom three.

Mark White

Joe, I don’t see the point of a 90’s action poll, it should be “just watch under Siege”! With what’s left to watch, It would win the 90’s action poll hands down anyway.

Kawaii Leonard

Didn't like any of the other choices, so went with Cassie's picks. I suggest a fantasy, foreign, or anime movie.

Clarence Newman

Incidentally - Man of Steel is at 230k afer 5 days and still going strong. Cassie's biggest hit since Passion of the Christ (which is over half a million.)

Doug Fisher

So, you need to do the reverse, reverse psychology and vote for the ones you hate. 😉😁

Doug Fisher

I am all in on "Timecop" and "Daylight" guys!!

Doug Fisher

Well... it started out good at least.

Clarence Newman

I've tried that, Doug. The algorithm is too smart. Besides, because I'm in England, I usually wake up to a poll that's already well-established (if not completely over.) This one looks promising, though. Two of my three are leading by quite a bit.

Clint d

Does anyone know why i can view the movie when I buy a full reaction? If it's not available I won't buy anymore.

Richard Maurer

You have to have your own copy The movies are blurred for copyright reasons.

Richard Maurer

Which 3 did you vote for? One of them better be monsters - even though it has zero chance now.

Mike Lemon

To further what Richard said, it could be up to a $250,000 fine and 5 years in prison for showing the movie. Some "reactors" show it, but they are playing with fire.

Clarence Newman

To clarify, I voted for the bottom three in the list, not the bottom three in the voting. As for voting for your Monster thingy, what's in it for me, Jabroni?

Richard Maurer

Same as what’s in it for me - nothing.

Clarence Newman

Ah, so you don't care if I vote for the Monster poll or not. In that case, I'm voting for it just to mess with you.

Clarence Newman

And you're right - it's got zero chance.

Milton Reduxed

@Clint, Personally I use bt4gprx to find the movie and PotPlayer to watch. Use at your own risk, but I've never had any problems

My_Cousin_Mose

I would like to see another anime film reacted to.

Milton Reduxed

Ideas for a Thriller poll • A History of Violence (2005) • Blue Velvet (1986) • Disclosure (1994) • Basic Instinct (1992) • Manhunter (1986) • Malice (1994) • The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009) • Side Effects (2013)

Neil

Really hoping Star Trek makes a return at some point soon. So much of it to go that Cassie will love.

Chris Thom

Watched Basic Instinct again a couple weeks ago. That movie is pure entertainment. Pulpy, dirty, intriguing, psychological noir. Might be one of the best popcorn movies of the 90's.

Chris Thom

I think it's appropriate that Cassie's Picks is winning right now. But might I also suggest another possible poll--a Requested Here in Comments Ad-nauseum Poll: Cannonball Run, Indictment: The McMartin Trial, Lost in Translation, Empire of the Sun, Vicki Christina Barcelona, Under Siege, Cruel Intentions, Interstellar, Horror of Dracula, Cool Hand Luke, Any Which Way But Loose, Show Me Love and Manhunter. Think all those one one poll would make some people very content. Except for the fact that all but one would have to lose.

Chris Thom

Steven Seagal been crying in the corner since this channel started. He's so disappointed.

Gábor Árki

If by 90s action we are talking about the top movies from PR, then I'm throwing in my support for that. There are some really good, and very underrated movies there, that haven't really been reacted to by many. RONIN (1998) PAYBACK (1999) THE NEGOTIATOR (1998) UNDER SIEGE (1992) THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT (1996) EXECUTIVE DECISION (1996)

Chris Thom

Love that idea. That would be fun.

Chris Thom

I do think they would like Geena Davis. Feel like she hasn't been on the channel much yet.

Chris Thom

Definitively a lot of engagement lately. That's gotta be a good sign business-wise.

Clarence Newman

I totally resemble the fact that you put my film first. Can't remember the last time I mentioned it. And we all know Interstellar would win that poll, which would be heinous because Cassie's already watched it (albeit largely unconscious) and therefore it belongs on a rewatch poll. Take Interstellar out and I'm thinking it would be between Under Siege and Lost In Translation.

Clarence Newman

Daylight strikes me as one of Stallone's must underrated actioners.

Chris Thom

Probably. Cool Hand Luke would do well too I bet. And Show Me Love would get one VERY enthusiastic vote.

baz0348

Yes all good but a lot of jcvd's great films where 90's. If I had to pick a couple Roland emericks brilliant "universal soldier" or John woo's "hard target*. If picking action directors I'd go John woo and "broken arrow" or Michael bay "Armageddon".

Milton Reduxed

• Predator 2 (1990) • The Last Boy Scout (1991) • The Edge (1997) • Broken Arrow (1996) • Outbreak (1995)

baz0348

Went with 90s action and Cassie's pick either is fine she could pick 3 movies she wants to see and watch them.

Clarence Newman

Cool Hand Luke is my favourite film of all-time, therefore a guaranteed half million views. Cassie clearly hates money, that's all.

Clarence Newman

Why, when I read that back, does my mind slip into Curly Bill's accent? "Don't mind him. He's jus' drunk, that's all."

Peter Morscheck

90s action movie because I'm begging you to watch Thelma and Louise

Wesley White

@Chris, true! I think the only movie Cassie has reacted with Geena Davis on the channel is "Beetlejuice"! She definitely needs to react to more of her films

Dean Holt

I don’t mind Thelma & Louise but I honestly wouldn’t class it as a Action movie. It’s more of a drama road trip style film.

clutchkman

All of the above! So, I chose Cassie's pick.

Eric Parpart

Cassie’s pick. Always a great experience when Cassie truly enjoys the movie.

Bradley A

Cassie’s Pick and 90s action movie

Walter

LOVE Payback

Walter

I will never give up on Deep Space Nine.

Dean Holt

Gone for 90s Action and it’s just taunting me being so close to winning 😂. But if it does win here’s a few suggestions (see below) & I’m willing to bet no one’s (or very few) have reacted to Air America, Hard Rain, Judgment Night and probably a few others. As they are films that unfortunately seem to have been forgotten about. But this is another reason why I didn’t want Cassie to do a very long Tv series. Because this is just one genre from one era and I’ve quite quickly come up with around 25 good to great films that I really think she would enjoy. Given time I could easily make a list of a 100 as I’ve not list any Jackie Chan, JCVD, Jet Li and just listed a couple of Chow Yun-Fat films. My point being it was very unlikely she will ever react to most of these movies. But even less unlikely now we have lost a movie slot until at least April next year. Sorry if I’m moaning about this again and I’m sure having GoT is something a lot of people are really looking forward to seeing. I just think it’s a shame Cassie and maybe quite a few of her subscribers might never see a lot of these fantastic films. Here’s my suggestions. Eraser (Schwarzenegger) The Jackal (Willis) The Last Boy Scout (Willis) Assassins (Stallone) Mel Gibson Air America Bird on a Wire Payback Sam Jackson Amos & Andrew The Long Kiss Goodnight The Negotiator Deep Blue Sea Out of Sight Tommy Lee Jones U.S. Marshals Small Soldiers Under Siege Underrated Surviving the Game (Rutger Hauer/Ice T) Hard Rain (Morgan Freeman / Christian Slater) Hard Boiled (Chow Yun-Fat) The Replacement Killers (Chow Yun-Fat) Men at Work (Sheen & Estévez) Chain Reaction (Keanu Reeves) Judgment Night (Estévez) The 13th Warrior (Antonio Banderas) Ronin (Robert DeNiro) Passenger 57 (Wesley Snipes) Money Train (Wesley Snipes / Woody Harrelson) Desperado (Antonio Banderas)

Bradley A

A western wouldn’t hurt either - Gregory Peck in “The Big Country;” Peck he was really good in the ORIGINAL “Cape Fear” - she saw the more blatantly brutal Scorsese film. The 1962 version (w/Peck as the good lawyer - he’s a bad guy in Scorcese’s film, while bad guy ex-con Charles Mitchum in the ‘62 version is the good guy in Scorcese’s film - the roles reverse in Scorcese’s more visceral film! Personally, I like the older 1962 film, that puts two men against each other in a more psychological, suspense-building drama. In the 1962 film, it’s what you can’t see, and the tension that goes with it, that makes that film such a scary movie). I don’t wanna be a spoiler, so I will leave it at that. Oh, and he was MAGNIFICENT in the 1961 war action film “The Guns of Navarone,” with a large cast of movie stars of that generation, including notables Anthony Quinn and David Niven, among us, stellar supporting cast. Then, Peck cannot be forgotten for the 1976 thrillers, the original “The Omen” (!).

Story Archer

I had to go 'What's Next' because of my dream of Cassie watching Arcane... probably won't ever happen, but its easily one of the best things I've seen in the past 20 years.

Bradley A

1976 THRILLER (not “thrillers” in previous comment) is an out-and-out suspense-building scary RELIGIOUSLY HORRORIFYING movie! The Omen” kept me up nights after I saw it. The 2006 remake with Liv Schreiber and Julia Stiles is also scary…

Joe J

All the more reason to follow-up with Batman vs Superman and Justice League.

Bradley A

Wow, really got “off the reservation” with that wide-ranging rant; my apologies…

David

How about Concert movies ? The Last waltz, Rattle and Hum, Stop Making sense etc

Joe J

Makes zero sense to me why Cassie felt the need to include a poll choice for herself. She can have her own poll separately from Pollception. We can have both.

Joe J

Thanks for suggesting Predator 2 Milt. People hate on that movie, but's it's a damn entertaining film.

Richard Maurer

People in the comments below have been asking me about rom-coms, mostly if there are any I like and my answer is no, but I realized I haven’t said exactly why I don’t like them. So if you care why I don’t like them, read below. If you don’t, don’t read this - no skin off my nose. Here we go. The Rom: the romance in every rom-com I’ve tried to watch seemed unrealistic and exaggerated to the point that it became for the people involved their entire existence. I don’t mind actual romance as part of the movie, the romance between Aragorn and Arwen in LotR is really effective and beautiful because it doesn’t overwhelm their lives, not in spite of that fact. But it is always an underlying factor in their lives and motivations. The Com: for me this is worse than the rom part; rom-coms just aren’t funny to me. The comedy part always seems forced and reminiscent of tv sitcoms, most of which I don’t find funny either. In fact, as far as movies go, comedy is one of my least favorite genres, just slightly above musicals and rom-coms. I don’t find about 95% of comedies particularly funny and of the remaining 5% about 4% are barely funny. Again, like romance, it’s about the forced nature of comedy in these films trying unsuccessfully to blend in with real world situations. I tend to prefer absurdist comedies like Monty Python or Naked Gun, where they don’t try to pretend the comedy makes sense in a real world setting. Conversely, if a movie’s comedy is blended into a overall serious movie, again I’ll use LotR as a example, it tends to be funnier to me, more like real life where the funny parts are brief moments in a normal day, not constantly going from one funny thing to another.

Clarence Newman

Cassie would love Bird On A Wire. Goldie Hawn and Mel Gibson. Under Siege is coming up a lot, and I also like Deep Blue Sea.

Clarence Newman

I beg to differ. There are some good action scenes and Geena gets some action from Brad. Cassie would love it.

Clarence Newman

It was originally "Cassie's Brother's Picks", but then she realised how much he still enjoys pulling her pigtails.

Clarence Newman

I cannot disagree. But not yet......not yet.

Richard Maurer

Joe - Yeah, when I saw the Cassie’s choice poll pick I figured that would either win or do really well., considering the number of people who comment about how we need to only pick movies Cassie will like. It was pretty much inevitable it would do well on the poll.

Joe J

Patreon doesn't seem to care at all if reactors show the whole movie (like CineBinge). That may come crashing down on them at some point...time will tell.

Clarence Newman

Always had a soft spot for Death Warrant, Baz.

Joe J

Most men would fall in your camp Richard. Women have that extra "romance" gene or something (haha). They just eat this stuff up.

Dean Holt

Bird on a wire is one I’ve always liked and I agree with the Romantic story it something I’m sure she will like. I’ll be honest I’ve never really been a Steven Seagal fan. But I did like Under Siege but mainly because of Tommy Lee Jones playing the crazy villain.

Clarence Newman

Seconded, and as me and Clay have seconded about 80 posts about this, it's actually about 83rded.

Dean Holt

I think that’s a different type of Action Clarence 😂😂

Clarence Newman

Ten days? What the frick and why the frick? Three days is too long and we've told her that on many an occasion. I'm beginning to think she doesn't listen to us Orphans of the FAQ.

Dean Holt

Joe, I’ve always thought Predator 2 was just as good as the first one. But could be a good one for October. Also think she should watch Blade 2 as I actually think that’s better than the original

Joe J

Cassie - Why a 10 day poll, normally polls are 3 days?

Dean Holt

Disclosure & A History of Violence are both great movies

Ted Whalen

Richard- 100% agree! You are absolutely correct about the forced humor in “comedy” movies (they always seem to fall flat on their face).

Clarence Newman

Yeah, 10 days is ludicrous. You won't get many more votes than you have now and, as is often the case, the poll is already over.

Clarence Newman

I make it a policy never to ask Richard about rom-coms. It's like asking Biff Tannen to rank his favourite manure.

baz0348

It was ok prefer AWOL/lionheart, had a great story and showed that he wasn't just an action star. But big cinema releases hard target and universal soldier are considered big hits time cop being his biggest success.

Stick Figure Studios

@Clay: Oh, it's definitely a monitority opinion. I get a lot of crap for saying I like that movie (just look at Richard's summation above; his is the general consensus), but I saw it in the theater and just enjoyed the hell out of it. It probably helps that I've never read the source material which so many people say it is a huge betrayal of (and which the 2012 film DREDD is closer in spirit to). I tried the one with Karl Urban and while there are aspects of it that I admired, I just did not enjoy it as much. Here's my Letterboxd review of the latter (where I also expand upon what I enjoyed about the older one) If you're interested: https://boxd.it/8mZVJ7 At any rate, I don't think you'll have to worry about it ever getting a reaction. It is almost universally loathed, so it won't win any polls and I doubt anyone will be submitting it for pick a flick, so you're safe from ever having to suffer through it again. Your nightmare will not come true.

Clarence Newman

Yeah, but a topless Brad should be a slam dunk for Cassie. She might hate Geena a little bit though.

Richard Maurer

Stick - no offense meant. My feelings about the the two movies are my own, not meant to judge (no pun intended) other people. Judge Dredd (95) is a huge betrayal of the source material, and not just for the relatively minor reason that Dredd never removes his helmet in the comics (or in the 2012 movie), while Stallone barely puts it on. No the real reason it’s a betrayal is that in the movie they make Dredd a hero, but the comic is a somewhat subtle parody of the whole idea of a state sponsored hero, in fact in the comic he’s basically a fascist thug. His helmet’s visor for example is black but uses the comic art effect of having white streaks running through it to show it’s semi transparent - but two of those white streaks, right where his eyes are, are in the shape of the lightning bolts of the SS - like I said ‘somewhat’ subtle parody. The comic does try to have it both ways, with Dredd’ s main protagonists being much worse than he is, while simultaneously having Dredd imprison people in “iso-cubes” (solitary confinement) for minor crimes like jay walking. Dredd (2012), while down-playing the “subtle” parody, is still much closer in tone to the original comics. That’s why I prefer it over the 95 version.

Mannygogou

I went with Cassie's Picks because it's still going to be a poll and there should be something good there. Also I'd like to see what will be on the list... and hopefully I'll be familiar with maybe half of the titles? That'd be the game 🙂

Richard Maurer

Clarence - Manure is a good analog for rom-coms.

Chris Thom

She's now bringing the GOT ethos to our polls. She's already changed. Lol

Milton Reduxed

Personally I'm offended by the objectification of men in cinema

Chris Thom

I think Batman v. Superman is mostly guaranteed. In the podcast Carly said Man of Steel was one of two movies she saw this summer that she's obsessed with. Inception not so much, apparently.

Chris Thom

That's probably too much with GOT on the channel now. But agree that she should sample some of them if she's interested.

Richard Maurer

This poll seems to have divided the patrons. The best way to bring us all together would be to watch Horror of Dracula, obviously. Haven’t done one of those in a while - feels good.

Vak

For pure 90s over-the-top action fun in the vein of what you're listing, don't forget "Broken Arrow," the weird confluence of John Travolta's career renaissance, Christian Slater's moment as a leading actor, and that brief, shining moment when Howie Long thought he could act. Also, if you have subcategories for specific actors, I humbly suggest a Nick Cage one, for some really crazy stuff. Cassie's already hit a few of his 90s highlights, but Lord knows there are others. Hell, perhaps she needs a "Cage, 1980s to 2020: Four Decades of Fun Madness" category.

Clarence Newman

That’s the one with George Hamilton, right?

Clarence Newman

I’m thinking that seconds after Cassie read Joe’s post, her house was ringing with a concerted yodel of “Beeeeeeeeennn!!!”

Milton Reduxed

@Joe, Because romance means men doing things for women, of course women are going to like it. For us it's just hard work and not much fun, our fantasy is blowing up helicopters like Rambo

Clay F

While there are exceptions [e.g., Bringing Up Baby or The Philadelphia Story (1940), and a handful of modern rom-coms], I don’t like rom-coms (romance/comedy movies) as a general rule b/c they tend to be mediocre – acting not compelling, bland scripts, haphazard directing, poor editing, not that funny to me, etc. People may love rom-coms – fun to the person and/or the person has nostalgia – that’s fine, to each their own. The problem is people critical of romance confound rom-coms with the romance genre generally, i.e. they lump it all together. Rom-coms are only a fraction of the romance genre. The romance genre is much broader than rom-com, and can be rich. Romance in movies is: (1) a thematic element but not enough for the movie to be labeled as romance genre but nevertheless can contribute to the movie as “effective and beautiful” as noted by Richard for LotR; or (2) significant enough such that movie is labeled as romance genre, e.g., romance/drama, romance/war, romance/action, romance/thriller, etc. Romance can contribute to realism and provide a basis for motivations and interesting plot points. To me, romance (or friendship or brotherhood, etc.) is part of the bigger picture of human relationships that if done right add to the movie in a compelling and entertaining way. I rewatched The Killing Fields (1984) (true story) yesterday and a human relationship that is a big (compelling) part of the movie (up to the very end) is the close friendship/bond that evolved between a NYT American journalist and his Cambodian translator. The Band of Brothers series does an excellent job of depicting brotherhood that adds much to the series. Romance is another aspect of human relationships that can add much, e.g., as “an underlying factor in their lives and motivations.” Romance other than rom-com can have humor at times but “more like real life where the funny parts are brief moments in a normal day, not constantly going from one funny thing to another.” Romance can be serious, challenging, demanding, engrossing, realistic, not always fun.

Clay F

Good points.

Clarence Newman

Yes. I did wonder how the most tanned man in Hollywood got the lead as a vampire.

Stick Figure Studios

I actually remember seeing LOVE AT FIRST BITE at a drive-in as a kid.

Stick Figure Studios

I like rom-coms when they're good (which is rare, but I feel like that could be said of any type of movie). Truthfully, there are very few genres I don't like or appreciate.

Mike Lemon

Nothing says Dracula can't get a nice fake tan.

Clarence Newman

No, but 5 seconds after achieving optimum shade, he would burst into flames.

Richard Maurer

Hamilton had a real tan. The leathery skin proves it.

Chris Thom

I've seen Woodstock a bunch of times. Didn't know until recently that Scorsese was one of the camera men for it.

Javier Hernandez

"Cult Classics" would be a good poll in the future. Sure they are typically low budget or not commercially successful but they often have heart and are quirky in nature. I mean, Mad Max, gave us a fantastic trilogy.

Grad

Pollception suggestion: New stuff. Genres and categories that we don't often see in these polls. Examples: anime, costume dramas, Korean thrillers.

Mannygogou

The Song Remains The Same... or actually which one is the Talking Heads one..., yeah... I hear good things.

Mannygogou

I feel that sometime in the future some entrepreneur type will figure out they can license movies and include reaction videos as part of the service. Sort of like a streaming cable channel but with featured reactors that you can choose from... but also you can upload a reaction of your choice... It would be an elaborate linking and synchronizing scheme... Okay make an A.I. agent that recognizes videos... so that in can sync any clip even edited versions. That'd be crazy.

Mannygogou

lol I voted for Monster poll.

Mannygogou

I watched Superman 2025 in the theater and liked it. Then I watched Fantastic Four and forgot all about Superman lol

Mannygogou

I wonder what will be in Cassie's picks? Maybe she'll include The Hot Chick (2002) 😊 Maybe Joe vs The Volcano... maybe Furiosa?, Moonstruck? Oh I know... Your Name (2016)

Richard Maurer

Your Name would be a pleasant surprise.

Joe J

With this strong engagement, I hope she'll do the Top 2 polls. Still plenty of excellent 90's action films for one banger of a poll.

Kawaii Leonard

I mean Your name is a romance, albeit in a anime sci-fi setting. And the animation is gorgeous.

Russell

I'm still hoping for Cassie and Carly to watch Forbidden Planet somewhere around October.

Mark Vaderr

Richard- Thanks for your explanation. Makes a lot of sense. I'm fine with rom-coms, as long as they are good and entertaining. There are a lot of rom-coms made today that are incredibly lame and boring. I enjoy comedy movies that are more clever and smart. As with most movies, it's all about the writing. I can understand enjoying absurdist comedies, "Airplane!" is one of my all-time favorite comedy movies. I love the slapstick humor of Laurel & Hardy. I also love movies like "The Odd Couple", "Tootsie", "Ghostbusters", "Back to the Future", "The Blues Brothers", "Beverly Hills Cop", "The Birdcage" & "Bringing Up Baby". I don't care for comedies that rely on swearing and gross situations to carry a movie.

Clay F

Suggested candidates for 90s action poll (w/PR rank for some). Out of Sight (1998) [RT 94%]. No. 60 Three Kings (1999) [RT 94%]. No. 164 The Thin Red Line (1998) Natural Born Killers (1994) Ronin (1998). No. 29 Under Siege (1992). No. 100 The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996). No. 115 From Dusk Till Dawn (1996). No. 153 Desperado (1995). No. 212 Point of No Return (1993) The Last Boy Scout (1991). No. 222

Clay F

Instead of doing the 2nd place poll, could instead do PR 1-50 poll.

JohnnyUtah

Gotta have an 80s poll in every poll pollception! -80s movies Cassie will love love -Tango & Cash 1989 -Over the Top 1987 -The Secret of my Success 1987 -Beverly Hills Cop II 1987 -The Neverending Story 1984 -The Great Outdoors 1988 -Jewel of the Nile 1985 -Commando 1985 -Rambo: First Blood Part II 1985 -Legend 1985 (European Version) -Labyrinth 1986 Just to name a few 😉

Richard Rolen

"Tango & Cash" has been my PPOTM a few times now. And don't forget "Running Scared" with Billy Crystal amd Gregory Hines!

JohnnyUtah

Oh yeah! I did forget that, I love Tango & Cash, I like it more than Lethal Weapon actually.

Richard Rolen

Agreed! And perhaps a reminder here for Cassie that "U.S. Marshalls" is the sequel to "The Fugitive" would be a good thing!

Richard Rolen

Same here. If I have no horse in the race, I abstain from both cheering and booing. (Also from voting...)

Chris Thom

She's anti-Neverending Story films apparently. Mentioned it on a LIVE chat a while back.

JohnnyUtah

Hmm that's a shame, it's fantastic, scary for a 6 year old lol

Chris Thom

I think of Rocky Horror Picture Show still being the ultimate cult movie.

Chris Thom

Was just watching the David Byrne SNL anniversary performance with...not sure who the other was. But it was pretty good.

Mike Lemon

Your Name has been "promised" for a while now. Maybe she could do a week with Josee, the Tiger, and the Fish, and some other anime (Grave of the Fire Flies ?). That might lead to ending, or at least lessening, the "animation racism" people here seem to have.

Happy Hanukkah

"Help a sister out!" /looks in the mirror Nope; despite the $135 dye job, I still don't look like Carly.

Maisie

I don't suppose we could get Kpop demon hunters on a poll? I want to see Cassie and Carly react to the boys...

Chris Thom

Crazy the amount of media there is out there. She could literally do this for the rest of her life. So much to choose from.

Chris Thom

Yeah was getting the sense that it freaked her out as a child.

Chris Thom

My vote would be for Out of Sight. And maybe Small Soldiers and Chain Reaction for pure nostalgia reasons.

Chris Thom

Trying to remember the one with the human/monster girl hybrid that grows up and gets possessive of the lab technician that created her. That one was a trip. Want to say Adrien Brody might've been in it but I forget. Maybe it was the guy from Avatar?

Chris Thom

Knocked Up and This is 40 are really entertaining. As Good As it Gets is pretty special. And Sleepless in Seattle. The unlikelier the pair finding love with and in each other is a hopeful thing I think. Have to admit, when they come on cable I do tend to get glued to them without even noticing. Romance in a strict drama can also be good.

Jens Kristensen

Monster movies! I have high hopes for "The Monster Squad"...

Jens Kristensen

Mr. Hamilton is in line with Tom Jones who did a terrific job in "Mars Attacks!", and Tom didnt even wear his pink net undershirt. Its not usual...

Jack

I’d be game for Tango & Cash, but The Secret of My Success would be great for Cassie and would get my vote.

Clarence Newman

Running Scared? In the immortal words of Gregory Hines, "Yeeeeeeeeeeessssssss!!"

Clarence Newman

As Good As It Gets doesn't count, Chris. That's virtually a biography of Richard.

Dean Holt

Vak, when I was looking at Nic Cage films there’s was only Snake Eye left from the 90 you could class as acton but it is more of a thriller tbh. But it’s not a bad idea regarding have a poll for him. Renfield or Willy's Wonderland could be a good on for October though.

2026-11-01 00:00 Although it is no longer leading, there are plenty of action movies already mentioned with the likes of "Ronin" which is bit classier than most in the 90s, or "The Last Boy scout" or "Long kiss goodnight" from Shane Black, among many others of the more obvious ones. However, there are a few that may not get the love but wirth a mention: * "Blown Away" - Tommy Lee Jones and Jeff Bridges. * "Point of No Return" aka "The Assassin" - Bridget Fonda, Gabriel Byrne, remake of "Nikita" which was also from the 90s. * "Passenger 57" - early, if not the first, star vehicle for Wesley Snipes. * "Assassins" - Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas, Julian's Moore and Richard Donner ("Lethal Waapon", "Superman") and written by the Wachowskis ("The Matrix"). * "The Hard Way" - Michael J. Fox, James Woods, and directed by John Badham ("Wargames"). * "Toy Soldiers" - stars a hobbit, (Sean Astin), Wil Wheaton ("Wesley Crusher") and Louis Gossett Jr. * "The Rocketeer" - technically an action movies from the 90s, according to Google, just aimed at a younger audience. Got a look of interest after "The Aviator" due to the Howard Hughes link. It surprised me that I didn't see "Bad Boys" in any of the comments I read, thought it would have been mentioned a fair bit. Not really advocating for it, but it is surprising. Not really an action movie, more suspense/thriller, but I will suggest it when I get the opportunity... "Arlington Road" with Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins.

Grad

Yup. And the more you mix it up, the longer it will take for certain wells (90s action) to dry up.

Dean Holt

Mojo, Arlington Rd is a fantastic movie, also really like Assassins as I think it’s a really underrated Sly movie, Banderas is fantastic as the villain as well. I really think Cassie should watch more of his films as well because The 13th Warrior & Desperado are both excellent. I’ve also suggested Hard Rain which is another excellent movie that unfortunately I don’t think many people have seen or remember.

Dean Holt

90s action is only 28 votes behind, it’s doing it’s very best to taunt me 😂😂

Dean Holt

What about to one with Nic Cage in 😂

Richard Maurer

I’d like a reaction to Frieren, but I doubt that’s going to happen either.

Richard Maurer

Yes, one thing we don’t get enough of here is 80’s movies. This comment is sarcasm, in case you didn’t get it. Just dripping with sarcasm.

Richard Maurer

That would be okay. but I prefer it when it’s a wider range. Say 1-500 poll.

Richard Maurer

More sci-fi than horror, but at least it’s not another action movie disguised as horror.

Richard Maurer

The 90’s action well is pretty close to a mud puddle already. Along with 80’s films in general. Except for 80’s horror. At the rate Cassie watches horror that well won’t be dry anytime soon.

Richard Maurer

I really want to see the look on Cassie’s face when she watches Rocky Horror.

Richard Maurer

Dean - I keep trying to forget that movie exists, thanks for reminding me.

Richard Maurer

People mentioning a lot of rom-coms they like here, which is fine, but I’ll never watch them. I can’t even keep up with watching the films in genres I like. I’ve given rom-coms a chance, more of a chance than they deserve, and they’ve failed every time.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - I have no frame of reference for your comment so I’ll just ignore it. Which is something I really should do more often.

Richard Maurer

Cassie’s picks and 90’s action got over 400 votes each. Hopefully next pollception these two poll-killers will take a break and give something else a chance. Either that or just have these two categories on the poll, why waste time with the others?

JohnnyUtah

You can never have too many!

Mojo One Thousand

I don't think I have seen "Hard rain" at least not all the way through. I think I mix it up with "Black Rain" with Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia which just misses by being to early by about a year, but wouldn't be a bad choice for 80s action. But it has me thinking about "Rising sun" which is 90s with Sean Connery ans Wesley Snipes.

JohnnyUtah

Yeah i get it. Not a fan of the 80s, I make it up for the both of us. My favorite decade for films.

MikeLL

Man, haven't we had enough of 90's action picks? And this is someone who LOVED action movies in the 90's, they were about all the movies I went to the theater to see, thus I missed out on some GREAT movies in the 90's because they were not action movies. Schindler's List? I didn't see it in theaters because it wasn't an action movie. So 90's action movies? I was over them a long time ago. I got actioned out, so to say.

Richard Maurer

I didn’t. A lot of people here just want to make you happy, letting you pick the poll choices guarantees that any movie they pick in the poll will make you happy.

Richard Maurer

Just to be clear, I don’t want you to be unhappy. I just like it when you watch things that aren’t necessarily movies you’d pick for yourself. Movies that “expand your horizons” to quote you.

Joe J

Cassie - You're poll "Yucked up our Yum".😂

Richard Maurer

I get it too. But I experienced 80’s movies in real time and even back then I thought they were mostly overrated.

Joe J

What folks voted for has to be the choice...assuming she does 2nd place. Cassie said she will do a PR random poll every month anyway.

Joe J

Will we ever get a "Classic Sci-fi" poll? I have my doubts.

Ted Whalen

Is it too late to add a stipulation that no ROM-COMs are allowed to be included in the Cassie’s picks poll.

Richard Maurer

Joe - We may get one, just one and that’s it. Just like the Classic Horror poll.

Mark White

Cassie, I for one am happy you might pick the poll, as I am sure you will put “The Insider” in a poll it’s bound to win! 😉😆

Gray

I'm interested to see what you pick for your poll, guess you'll mix it up as you said as it's running along side GoT.

Joe J

I sense that Cassie only likes older movies in the comedy and romance genres. Other genres I think she sees as dated. She would probably be rolling her eyes at 50's sci-fi, lol.

Joe J

Here's some more Clay. Payback (99) The Jackel (97) Executive Action (96) Broken Arrow (96) Daylight (96) Last Man Standing (96) Sudden Death (95) Predator 2 (90)

Joe J

Action films are a favorite with me...so I'm always game for more action films. Any decade, lol.

Clay F

Yes, please don’t include 90s (or 80s) action in the next Pollception.

Clay F

Yes, please don’t include 90s (or 80s) action in the next Pollception.

Clay F

Please don’t include 90s (or 80s) action in the next Pollception. Will win every time. The only reason not winning (barely) this time is because of the unique category of Cassie’s Picks. 90s action wins anyway because sadly close 2nd likely gets a poll? Please, give us a break from 80s/90s action. So much of that on the channel. Tiresome.

Richard Maurer

She liked the ‘33 King Kong well enough that I hoped she do more polls. Instead we get a monster poll choice on a pollception poll against things it can’t possibly beat.

Clarence Newman

The 80s ruw-el! So do the 60s, but Cassie is generationally prejudized and we have to accept that.

MikeLL

The Searchers would have won the Ad Nauseum poll, but Cassies' already seen it. 😏

Clarence Newman

I'm ok with them dropping off for a while (variety is the key), but I love 80s-90s action stuff and so does Cassie. There's still some real good ones to watch. Then again, if it wins a poll, doesn't the category automatically get left off the next one?

Joe J

We need more variety on the Pollceptions. I was hoping Pollception choices would be chosen randomly from the very large list. But that's not the case so far, so some repeats are already creeping in.

Mark White

Cassie, I pleased to see “Cassie picks poll” Is winning. I did vote for that. I know some people would prefer maybe something else, but you may yet surprise them. Could I make a suggestion? A poll doesn’t have to be about a particular subject/actor/director etc. In my humble opinion, it might be fun to mix it up a bit and put in your poll lots of different types of movies. For example: “The Insider” 1998 (Drama) “Escape from Alcatraz” 1979 (Suspense) “Lost in Translation” 2003 (Romance/Comedy) “Clash of the Titans” 1980 (Fantasy) “The Outsiders” 1983 (Crime/thriller) “Paul” 2011. (Comedy) “Sunshine” 2007 (Sci-Fi) “Pale Rider” 1985 (Western) “Ring” 1998 (Horror) “Casino” 1995 (Gangster) “Under Siege” 1992 (Action) “Cocktail” 1988 (Romance) It’s Just a thought Cassie. Maybe you will come up with something far better. Whatever it is, you usually pick some great movies. Can’t wait!

Joe J

I wouldn't mind another brackets poll. At least there we can get a mix of genres. Cassie watches the winner of each bracket. - Dramas - Action & Thrillers - Romance - Sci-fi & Horror

Mark White

I do get it, why people are against more Action polls. As I do agree we have had a lot and there are not many great ones left. I for one did Not vote for more action. However, if that’s what a majority want, isn’t that kinda how this whole thing works? Or am I missing the point? 🤔

Clay F

No matter what the choices, 80s/90s action (if included) will always win. A voting plurality (not majority) force feed more 80s/90s action down our throats. Other genres don't stand a chance. No reason to do a Pollception if 80s/90s action is included -- instead just simply have an 80s/90s action poll and skip the Pollception. Here, 90s action wins b/c it a close 2nd and thus surely gets a poll? No way to escape, except if not included in the Pollception. Why even have a Pollception if the outcome is in effect pre-determined? We all know that 80s/90s action will receive the winning plurality (not majority) of votes. Thus, the winning minority determines for the majority of patrons -- each and every time for 80s/90s action.

Richard Maurer

Some of the poll choices need to be better defined also. Jon Johns (a Mod!) asked for the monster poll to be better defined. If a mod isn’t sure what the poll is about how are the regular patrons supposed to know? The Apocalyptic poll was confusing quite a few people too. A brief description after the poll title would have helped. While being better defined probably wouldn’t have saved these polls, being confusing certainly didn’t help them either.

Joe J

Mark - I like the idea. Call it a "Everything all at Once Poll".

Clay F

Please no on Passenger 57 and Bad Boys. Bad Boys (1983) would be ok.

Richard Maurer

Mark - nobody here gets what they like all the time, nor should they. As Clay said above, it’s not a majority of patrons that want 90’s action, or Cassie’s picks for that matter. If you combine all the votes for other categories more people voted against those two polls than for them. Just because a majority of votes go to one or two categories doesn’t mean the majority prefer those two. I get why we have to do polls this way, to keep things simple, but poll winners rarely, if ever, represent a majority of patrons.

Clay F

Mark -- dang good list. Some excellent movies.

As a layman, Richard, monster movies to me would be King Kong, Godzilla, and other HUGE beasties. I wouldn’t even include The Creature From The Black Lagoon.

Richard Maurer

Maybe. Or, as Jon asked, is it a kaiju (Godzilla, Kong) poll only? Is it classic monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein) only? Could be more modern movies also? A short definition would have helped

Clay F

I think "Monster" and "Apocalyptic" self-explanatory (see dictionary), especially if construed in broad way -- all categories (genres) should be. "Monster" and "Apocalyptic" being confusing to some may have helped Western secure 3rd place. Glad Western beating the Bad Sequels poll. I think explanation/definition can be good. I prefer inclusive and flexible. "Monster" -- any movie (any release date) that includes one or more of the following: (1) a creature grotesquely deviating from the normal shape, behavior, or character, (2) an animal or plant of abnormal form or structure, (3) an animal of strange or terrifying shape, (4) a nonhuman creature ugly or monstrous that frightens people, (5) any imaginary frightening creature, especially one that is large and strange, but can be less than large, (6) an imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening, (7) a thing or animal that is excessively or dauntingly large, (8) an imaginary creature having one form (e.g., normal form) (even a form of beauty) not threatening but that can transform into another form (e.g., an abnormal form) that is threatening or frightening.

Mark White

Yeah, I get it Richard/Clay and I do like variety too. Which is why I suggested in the comment above to Cassie to mix it up abit and put lots of different genres in one poll. Most people then would find something to vote for and get behind. Edit: maybe remove the action movie then to make it more competitive.

Mike Lemon

"nobody here gets what they like all the time, nor should they." Is "occasionally" too much to ask though? To my memory (without looking anything up)- Anime has had 1 watch slot Non-anime animation - 2 (Robin Hood was for Hood week not animation) Classic monster (Universal/Hammer/etc.) - 1 Foreign (non-English)- 4 TV mini-series (not streaming short series) - 0 Kaiju - 4 Sci-fi - a bajillion Action - half a bajillion Sequels/franchises - multiple bajillion And then there are the dozens of movies that have been "promised," including one promised to Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie, that are still waiting to be seen.

Mike Lemon

Reposting from below because I would like to hear what people think are some other severely neglected genres of movies here- "nobody here gets what they like all the time, nor should they." Is "occasionally" too much to ask though?

Mark White

“A bajillion” 😂 I wonder how many zeros that is?! 😉😆

Walter

...but...it's not winning... am I missing something...?

Mark White

Oh, I can add to this Mike! Docudramas - 0 Myself and Gray can add in at least one to that missed Genre 😉

Mike Lemon

@Mark- It depends if you go by the long system (the one that makes sense), or the short system (doesn't make sense but a lot of people use it).

Clay F

"Here, 90s action wins b/c it a close 2nd and thus surely gets a poll?" 90s action wins anyway because sadly close 2nd likely gets a poll. 90s action wins a close 2nd place and gets a poll. If 90s action does not get a poll, then agree 90s action did not win. The only reason not winning (barely) this time is because of the unique choice of Cassie’s Picks (not a 'genre'). No 'genre' stands a chance against 80s/90s action because of the solid block minority that votes 80s/90s action for genre no matter what.

Kenneth

Cassie: A RomCon which you may enjoy is My Super Ex- Girlfriend - 2006 - Uma Thurman & Luke Wilson

Richard Maurer

Mike - you used a quote of mine as if I was disagreeing, but actually that was my point. Some genres are over represented here, while others are underrepresented - or not represented at all.

Mike Lemon

"but actually that was my point." I know, I was agreeing with you and then expounding on it.

Richard Maurer

Clay - apparently not self explanatory as there were questions. Monster is a sub-genre of horror with its own sub genres - kaiju - giant monsters, usually Japanese, but not always; classic- basically the Universal studios monsters and their descendants, Hammer studios, etc.; as well as many others. Apocalyptic- can be natural disaster movies, Zombies, nuclear war, post-apocalypse, religious/occult, etc. These may seem self evident to some but there was a question if zombie movies would be included in the apocalyptic poll and my answer was they should be but I doubt they will. Basically, if monster and apocalyptic are catch-alls for the various types then it should be stated and the polls should represent that, otherwise define exactly what will be included so people can know what they’re voting for.

Richard Maurer

Mike, I answered this on your repost above but basically I was saying exactly what you’re saying - some genres are overrepresented, others underrepresented.

Mannygogou

If you think about it Cassie's Picks category is not inherently Rom-com exclusively. It should be a list of movies Cassie always wanted to see but maybe never wins in a poll, some titles that sparked her interest. But yes it could all be rom-coms... but that's still not bad. All dramas would be less... good lol. Also... she could be disappointed in a movie that she picked so it's not a vote to "guarantee to please Cassie." In any list there are winners and losers... Personally I expect there'll be something good - in Cassie we trust 🙂

Joe J

Cassie could do a niche/sub-genre only Pollception from time to time. Here are just a few examples of ones suggested by patrons. Anime Noir Disaster Noms of Oscars Past by Year (post 1965) Martial Arts Gen X Movie poll

Good points. I think every Pollception should state that any given genre is to be construed broadly and is a catch-all for various types. Can give further clarifying statements, such as: --"Monster" is not limited to any sub genre of horror. --"Apocalyptic" can include natural disaster movies, Zombies, nuclear war, post-apocalypse, religious/occult, and other apocalyptic movies. --"Olympics" movie can be any movie related to the Olympics. Does not have to involve depicted competition at the Olympics. But agree with you if the intent was for 'Monster' or 'Apocalyptic' to be more narrow, the Pollception needs to state so, such as: --"Monster" is limited to kaiju. (But I would think in the case, the genre would have simply have been given as 'kaiju' -- not the broader 'monster'). --"Apocalyptic" is limited to "post-apocalypse." (But that may be even too undefined for some people). "Monster" seemed fuzzy/somewhat awkward to me, but overall fine -- I envsioned dictionary definitions of monster. For the most part, I was fine w/"Apocalyptic" which I thought of more as post-apocalypse that could include a nuclear war, a massive natural disaster (e.g., huge meteor hitting Earth), man-made disaster (e.g., global warming giving significant destruction of the world), or even zombies -- but realized could be broader. When I voted, I took both "Monster" and "Apocalyptic" to be broad - didn't envision either to be limited in some sophisticated way. I didn't see much worse than typical broad genres (e.g., sci-fi, western, war, drama, romance) w/o further narrowing or clarification. Take one of my favorite genres "war," for example, there are war movies that don't even show actual combat. The genre "drama" = wide open, almost really undefined -can essentially include anything. Even western genre can include Hell or High Water (modern setting) or Firefly (future setting). Conclusion: When voting in a poll, for any genre (e.g., a single word) given without clarification or being narrowed, should assume a broad category and that any movie that can be reasonably connected to the broad word is fair game. I say this based on what I've seen with previous PiB polls, and because need that assumption to resist those who complain, e.g., Munich is not an Olympics movie.

Darren Harrison

I didn't vote for Apocalyptic because I had no idea what that was. The only movies I could think of that would apply, depicting an Apocalyptic event, would be "Deep Impact" and "2012"

Richard Maurer

Clay - we really can’t assume they (Cassie’s team) are going to use the broadest terms for these poll categories, especially when a mod wasn’t even sure what one meant. You might vote for apocalyptic, have it win, then find it was only 70’s disaster movies, when you were hoping it included zombie movies. The only way we can feel safe that they’re meant in the broadest terms is if it’s spelled out somewhere, hopefully in the poll descriptions as that’s the best way to make sure everyone is aware of the meaning.

Milton Reduxed

What's going on guys, don't tell me you've gone soft?

Clarence Newman

I vote for a Mark White poll. There are at least 8 doozies on there.

Clarence Newman

You haven’t seen As Good As It Gets, Richard? You’d love it and I’m not joking neither!

Clay F

Richard -- agree, but I don't think we are going to get the choices spelled out. That mod not knowing is just like one of us not knowing. The genre is given as Apocalyptic movies, not 70s disasters movies. Based on rational thought and my experience here, I can safely assume that the Apocalyptic movies poll would not be only 70s disasters movies. Even if "70s disaster movies" given as a choice in a Pollception, there could still be patrons asking for more definition. The benefit of not spelling out is flexibility and being comprehensive in the subsequent selecting candidates for the Apocalyptic poll -- that will always be an overriding factor. A patron can choose not to vote in Pollception or can choose to make a best guess as to what each choice in Pollception might include and vote. I do the latter, and go with dictionary definitions and general broad understanding. I don't worry, for example, about esoteric differentation among sub-genres -- and I don't think the person who constructed the Pollception did either. After all, they benefit from inclusiveness giving flexibility in selecting candidates for the subsquent chosen genre poll.

Mark White

Thanks Clarence, but I do mean the idea, not the actual list! I don’t think I could cope with the guilt if Cassie just polled those movies. It would be like me winning a dozen Pick a flicks! Not fare on everyone else! But I think the idea works. For example we know Cassie herself voted for movies in polls which often don’t quite make it, like “Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels” a few weeks ago. She must have a long list of movies which she wants to watch, so if Cassie went though it and picked a movie from each genre, it should give most Patreons a movie they can get behind and for Cassie a guaranteed movie she wants to see.

Clay F

While maybe less interesting, I think for Pollception that sticking with standard genres (instead of going with interesting words like 'Monster' and 'Apocalyptic') would be more accepted and less prone to demands for definition? Not necessarily more clear (and not more specific), but more accepted without requests to be spelled out. Yet, Richard you might want more specifics on 'martial arts' genre listed below. Below are Genres for Pollception -- not spelled out but only what you see below. Could have a time period limitation, e.g., pre-1970 or post-1970. Sci-Fi Action Horror Thriller Comedy Western War Drama Romance Martial Arts Historical Mystery Crime Fantasy Noir (neo-noir) Legal Sports I saw no demands for "western" to be spelled out. Does this include Cry Macho, Cowboys & Aliens, The Dressmaker (2015), El Mariachi (1992)? I saw no requests for "90s Action Movies" to be spelled out. Does this include The Thin Red Line and Thelma & Louise?

Mark White

Mojo, I had forgotten about “Blown away” ! I haven’t seen it in a long time! but I remember enjoying it when I did! Good shout.

Richard Maurer

As I said in a previous post, I don’t have enough time te watch the movies I really want to watch.

Mark White

Oh yes please! +1milllllllllliion for “Forbidden Planet”

Rick Williams

A majority of the movies Cassie picks I actually end up enjoying. Most of them I had no desire to see and only watched them because of Cassie. We open her eyes to movies she has never seen and she does the same for us. It is a good exchange.

Chris Thom

Good list. I haven't seen Paul, Escape, or Pale Rider yet though.

Mark White

Chris Escape and Pale rider are awesome. Paul is one that slips under the radar. If you like “Hot Fuzz” you can’t go wrong with “Paul”

Clarence Newman

It's residual guilt over Sin City, Milt. We nearly did for her with that one so we're going to give her a butterscotch milkshake for dessert.

Chris Thom

Yeah true. Had no idea she'd already seen it??

Clarence Newman

In January, Cassie Popcorn Picked "Officer and a Gentleman" after I'd done a full Presidential campaign on it for 6 months. She did not enjoy Sid Worley hanging himself nekkid and, as a result, has been punishing me ever since. It is truly my own fault that Cannonball Run has not received an airing.

Chris Thom

Schindler's List definitely one I'd prefer to watch at home. Jurassic Park was made for the theater.

Chris Thom

Seems to be big on reaction channels with the youngs.

Clarence Newman

As Cassie voted for Lock Stock in the last poll it was on, I think it's got a good chance of being Popgun picked eventually.

Chris Thom

Message in a Bottle here we come.

Chris Thom

Last week she said she really enjoyed post-apocalyptic movies. Wondering myself if that includes the horror/zombie element.

Story Archer

I'm a big fan of suggesting movies and shows I know she'll love, not in watching her squirm because I've forced something I know she'll have to endure. There are too many great movies out there, she doesn't have to love everything that I love.

Chris Thom

She was talking about it in a LIVE chat the other day. The examples she gave and was given were: The Road, The Fifth Wave, Book of Eli, Dawn of the Dead, The Postman, the ones with Shailene Woodley (blanking on their names), TWD, etc.

Clarence Newman

I just started watching Caveman (1981) in my gym tonight. It stars the one and only Ringo Starr (drummer in some obscure Scouse band), John Matuszak of the Oakland Raiders (mad bastid), Barbara Bach from The Spy Who Loved Me (Ringo took her home afterwards), but also Dennis Quaid and a very cute Shelley Long! I'm about 30 minutes in and I believe it to be ka-ka.

Mark White

Rick, that’s exactly how I feel about it. Cassie has opened my eyes too.

Joe J

Any movie on a Poll is fair game in my book. Most patrons, like myself, just vote for movies we like.

Chris Thom

Youtube was sending me random clips of that this summer. Was wondering what the hell it was from. Had no idea Ringo was an actor. Lol

Joe J

I remember when Ringo was going to have a movie career, but turns out he just wanted to play them bongos like a chimpanzee, lol.

Ted Whalen

Butterscotch milkshake?????? Hmmmm, I think we can come up with a better flavor for her.

Richard Maurer

Just went on Popcorn Requests and got a message saying it’s in beta and to report any bugs. Looks like we’re finally getting that update.

Clarence Newman

Chris. Alas. he was not. But speaking as the biggest Beatles fan on the planet, I don't care.

Chris Thom

The app has changed?

Chris Thom

I think he had some big birthday concert the other day with guests. Dad was watching it on HBO Max or Netflix or something.

Richard Maurer

The appearance and and some of the workings have changed didn’t get into details to much. My requests is now my user.

Mike Lemon

It doesn't say that for me.

Milton Reduxed

PiB need to tap whoever built Jen Murray's website and order one in pink

Richard Maurer

Mike - maybe it’s because I opened on a new device? It’s definitely different than it was before.

Cole Jennett

I went in today to update my list to delete Game of Thrones, Man of Steel, and Cliffhanger, and it seemed the same to me.

Joe J

FYI - Jen just dropped "Them", she went in hard on 50's sci-fi. I've never used her app.

Richard Maurer

Just checked on my phone - definitely different.

Darren Harrison

@Clay F: "The genre is given as Apocalyptic movies, not 70s disaster movies." That's quite a leap and makes no sense whatsoever. Surely, Apocalyptic is the event of an apocalypse. That's why things that happen after an Apocalyptic event are termed "Post-Apocalypse"

Richard Maurer

It’s different on my “new” laptop (had it for about a year and half waiting for my old one to die, just set it up today) than on my phone too. But even on my phone it’s slightly different. Still my requests on my phone but the scroll of my requests is different.

Richard Maurer

I’m away from my laptop so I can’t check it. Maybe they shut it down already? My requests (or my user) was in four pages of 50 each instead of one long scroll the way it used to be. Even the background was different.

Richard Maurer

All this discussion just proves that there’s no consensus on exactly what these polls are. Many people with different ideas of what the polls actually include.

JohnnyUtah

If only that worked!

Clay F

I don't see much of difference that I can recall. Under the menu, I have both "My Requests" and "My User". In other words, "My User" did not replace "My Requests". I don't notice that the background changed, but I may be missing it. I like Jen's system -- decent features. But has the same issues of (1) little participation, (2) new requests being embedded (lost) in the muddled mass at the bottom, and (3) high rankings seem somewhat biased toward requests made early in the channel. Also, rankings for most part do not reflect poll results, which I guess is emblematic of both low participation and the fact many patrons who upvoted are long gone. Get unlimited upvotes but number of new requests are limited per month to 2 or 3, depending what membership level you are. You have to be at least her analogous kernel club level (full access) to add new request. No lower tiers or free members get to add new request. Get 2 new requests per month w/her analogous kernel club membership. Get to make 3 new requests per month w/her analogous extra butter membership ($15/mo). I like popcorn requests and will like it even more when revamped. There are a lot of good movies on popcorn requests in the top 500, and I think can provide a good basis (random selection) for polls.

Richard Maurer

It was there, on my laptop. Don’t know why people aren’t seeing it now. But if is down it’ll be back eventually.

Clay F

Jen system Top 8 *1. ST: First Contact (1996) - 199 requests 2. A League of Their Own (1992) - 159 3. ST: Generations (1994) - 158 4. The Matrix (1999) (rewatch w/friend) - 144 5. Band of Brothers (2001) - 139 6. Minority Report (2002) - 139 7. Army of Darkness (1992) - 136 8. The Godfather Part II (1974) - 136 *First Contact being a dominant No. 1 is a reflection of the significant numbers of patrons who came in to watch her reaction to TNG, and who remain even though TNG is concluding. They voted for DS9 (reactions already started) and for Voyager (likely to start soon). The TNG fan patrons influence the channel (e.g., requests and poll results).

My_Cousin_Mose

Frieren would make a great reaction and not just because I'm sure Cassie would like it. And it would only take about 4 reaction slots for the first season.

Richard Maurer

I was thinking the same thing. But I also think getting anime on here will be harder than getting more horror movies. I know anime has been mentioned to Cassie a fair number of times without any real interest shown.

Richard Maurer

Swenson’s peach cobbler shake or their orange vanilla shake - both are great.

Mark White

Clarence flexing in more ways than one in this comment 😉😆

Richard Maurer

Clarence - guilt over Sin City? Why would anyone feel guilty about that? No one told her she was going to love it, unlike, say, An Officer and a Gentleman.

Clarence Newman

Ooh, that's a nut shot, Richard. I need an 8-count.

Clarence Newman

But those shakes of yours sound well nice.

Clarence Newman

You've got me on that one, Flag, because i can't remember much about A Clockwork Orange. Ah! As I write this, I may have epiphanized myself. You're talking about the clippy things, aren't you?

Clarence Newman

Yep, 1-500. That would rope in my bad boy.

My_Cousin_Mose

Sad but true I think. Cassie still likes to expand her horizons and all it takes is getting her to watch one anime movie and her liking it for her to dive deeper. So there's always hope down the road.

Richard Maurer

Swenson’s is an old school drive-in restaurant chain. They have many different milkshake and soda pop flavors, and you can ask them to mix flavors, like adding orange to a vanilla shake. And you made me go there, talking about guilt over Sin City.

Richard Maurer

They could go really crazy and make it 1-1000.

Clay F

Looking forward to Cassie's Picks Poll. Glad won by 42 votes. The +42 votes is more than 10% of the votes that 90s Action received.

Mark White

I’m looking forward to it as well, I think Cassie may throw in a few surprises. I’ve got a feeling for Dirty Harry maybe?!!

James

Breaking Away 1979. I've been trying to get reactors to watch this movie but no one has. Can you get it in the voting rotation?

McShades

Great movie.... another good cyclist movie is American Flyers.

crazyivan

and it's got a young KC...should be a no brainer.

Clay F

Breaking Away 1979 gets good reviews.

James

Right its one of those both Cassie and Carly would love if they watched it.

Mannygogou

oh I missed this reaction... and I don't remember details of the movie. If you gave me a spoiler it reduces my desire to watch it lol. Everyone has different tastes in movies though. I used to rewatch a movie before I would recommend it just to make sure I'm not misremembering something. We might remember a couple of great moments in a film... but if we rewatch, we may find the movie as a whole actually falling flat. Richard Gere? First Knight, Pretty Woman.

Mannygogou

I like The Ring out of that list.

Mannygogou

"Your Name" will have its day... it should be a sisters watch. Also 2 out of that eclectic list made it on the polls. You see you have to open with a title like "The Hot Chick" then everyone's brain will be discombobulated and thus anything that follows gets a fair shake 🙂 ... either that or I read minds.
