Well my youngest officially went back to school this week. This has been my hardest back to school year yet and I am struggling a bit. Tears are just living in the back of my eyes permanently. I'm sure I'll soon be marvelling how much more I can get done in a day and hope to get my evenings back a little bit as I'll be able to watch during the day! Right now though, my empty house is making me cry. Knock on wood, but things may just get a lot more organized over here ;)

This week we continue with G of T, our Pick a Flick Winner The Human Comedy (ok 100% on Rotten Tomatoes!?) and continuing with The "Snyderverse" as the youths say it with Batman vs. Superman!

We also have CASSIE'S PICKS POLLS going on right now. There are 2, and the top 2 from each will square off in a final later this week!

We also have some mod change ups! KL, our amazing moderator for the past two years is stepping back, she will still be here on patreon and stuff but as you can imagine she is a very busy lady with her own channel and all things! She has been incredible, completely organized our whole discord among other things and always a happy voice of reason on here! The Type A to my Type B and we will miss her as a mod!

Our new mod is Cole Jennett! He first found PiB with Sixth Sense in early 2021 and has been a patron since October 2021! He is in Saskatchewan Canada, likes hockey, movies and TV (obvs), is a past trivia winner and all around good guy!

Ok now pretend we're all going back to school and here are the morning announcements in that monotone, muffled, staticky voice:

Good morning students, who is ready for a great week ahead?

Please listen quietly to our important announcements.

There will be a special assembly (YT LIVE) on August 30th at 2pm MST. Please make sure to bring your own popcorn and a good attitude.

The Extra Butter Movie Club will be meeting on August 25th at 8pm MST for a movie and life discussion and Q and A.

We have a new Student Council Member (moderator), please kindly welcome Cole Jennett to this role. Also please stop stuffing student council members in the lockers.

Please remember to fill out or have your parent fill out your PAF form(pick a flick) sheet sent home each month. It is important for attendance purposes to double check after that it has been submitted.

Ok also remember to check the lost and found, there seems to be 3 left shoes, a star trek phaser and a poster of Rita Hayworth.

Finally our menu for lunch is Big Kahuna Burgers, Royale's with cheese and $5 milkshakes.

Make it a great day or not-the choice is yours!

END SCENE!

Thanks guys for everything, looking forward to a great week ahead!

Ps-A.I. will be up this afternoon, we had some technical difficulties, but it's met the blue fairy and ready!

Love all you silly geese,

Cassie Stark ;)

BvS?????? Nooooooo..........noooooooo.....

Starpartyguy

Batman versus Superman didn’t make any sense at all. If you wanna watch it fine. But I didn’t get it at all.

Bill Maurer

BvS !!!!!!!! YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please watch the extended version if at all possible. It is worth it !!! AND GoT !!!!!!!!!!!! Great week in the PIB world !!!!!!!!!!!

Charles Briggs

Yes Batman V Superman with Carly i can't wait 🤘 just make sure it's the ultimate edition and not the theatrical cut trust me that little detail is very very important 👍

Anthony Carlson

Welcome aboard Cole! “Remember how to fire phasers?” -Commander Riker 😂

Robert Jewell

Some great classics on the roster plus my Spielberg pick. Way to have variety, Cassie. 👍🏽

Gábor Árki

Well, I guess this makes another week off for me. I was afraid that after Man of Steel the entire Synderverse is coming, even though for me there were 2 okay movies there, and one has already been done.

Rosario Cicero

I’m disappointed GOT took precedence over The Sopranos

imperial

I really hope they knew to watch the Ultimate Cut. It makes such a huge difference. It almost feels like a different movie with the amount of improvements it has.

LukeG84

Cassie, please watch the (Ultimate Edition) of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The runtime is 3h 2min but it’s worth it.

Brandon

I knew I would be the opposite of everyone else, but I liked BvS. Entertaining IMO. Even though Nolan/Bale is by far the best Batman series.

Bill Maurer

yup ... ultimate or extended edition all the way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walter Crockett

Yes Cassie the Extended version/ Ultimate Edition is the 3hr Version. It is the better version of Batman V Superman and actually feels shorter than the 2hr 30 min version

Ib-René Jørgensen

August 25th is my birthday. I can't participate but I hope you all have fun.

ROBERT CLARK

Will Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice be the Theatrical or Ultimate Edition?

m azr

Yes! Yes!

Joshua Campbell

Remember Thunderbolts has end credit scenes & make sure you watch Batman vs Superman Dawn of Justice in Ultimate Edition it's a lot better than the regular version 😀.

Chris Retzlaff

Are we going to have to endure the Joss JL too....let's just get to DCU Superman

Popcorn In Bed

is there theatrical, extended and ultimate? 3 versions?

David Freese

Just love the references (even ones from movies you don't really like much) I dont mind SVB as long as its the ultimate edition and I'm really trying to understand the GoT hoopla but so far I'm not getting it. Hope everyone is having a great week.

AceofSpades501

Any field trips planned for this class? Can we go to a pumpkin patch later this fall?

Clay F

Cole will make a great mod. I vote for the shortest version of BvS.

Above Average Dave

Yay! Thanks for the update, Cassie! Those are some amazing film reference drops in your school announcement — you ARE part of our (non-Borg) film collective! (Though, there are days when my wife, family and friends wish I knew just a couple hundred fewer movie/TV references) If at all possible, please watch the Ultimate cut of BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN — much more character development. As someone who's been along for the ride since BAND OF BROTHERS, thanks as always! (Oh, and speaking of film/TV references, after a recent resolution to lose a bit of weight (Thank you Thanksgiving and Christmas 2024...and 23....and) I referred to it as the beginning of my 10-week "Band of Blubber" series. My wife laughed out loud and said, "Hey, I got that one!" Anytime I can make her laugh is a successful moment in my own personal romcom. 😁)

Walter

Since you are watching Batman V Superman, I agree you should watch the Ultimate Edition. It is better than the theatrical version. It's a decent movie but not the version of Superman (or Batman) that I prefer.

KTP

Thank you KL and best of luck. I am also a very early patreon (gladiator I believe was my first time watching), at the time I received a direct message from you Lol upon joining. If I might shoot my shot at a movie being put in further polls, in case you haven't seen it, it's called shallow hal.

Celeste McAllister🍓

Looking forward to Baby Mickey Rooney,in the day the girls thought he was the bee's knees,a cutie patootee!! The 1hr "Two Reeler" movies he did with Judy Garland are great and memorable with the music and dance numbers....

Nathan Swapp

Anything Snyder needs to be the director/ultimate/extended version

Above Average Dave

No, just go to Snyder Cut. Joss/theatrical is just a meh mess).

ROBERT CLARK

I'm only aware of the theatrical which is around 2 and a half hours and the Ultimate Edition which is 3 hours long

Charles Briggs

Game of Thrones brings in way bigger YouTube views than Sopranos so it makes sense 🤷‍♂️

Bill Maurer

It's called, officially, the "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Ultimate Edition". I and others sometime refer to it as the extended version. There are two versions: Regular and Ultimate. Please, if possible, watch the Ultimate version. Thanks

Cole Jennett

Ha ha, I know you are opposed to that one

JohnnyUtah

I have to admit it's tough to wait for GoT episodes, so I'm just rewatching the previous reactions to bide time.

SavageDiplomat

For Batman vs Superman i suggest you watch the Ultimate Edition its the best version. The theatrical version is disliked by the majority of viewers.

Dean Holt

Definitely very highly recommend the ultimate edition as well. It just makes a lot more sense, as I saw the original cut in the cinema and didn’t really enjoy it. But I really liked the other cut of the film

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

I like the Pulp Fiction lunch menu, Cassie! Little known fact; The late Michael Madsen was Tarantino's original, first choice to play Vincent Vega, but he turned it down to do Wyatt Earp instead. He regretted forever after for turning Pulp Fiction down!

Shehab Dawoud

Another vote for the ultimate extended edition which is 3 hours!🤙

Clarence Newman

My Game of Thrones Season 1-3 DVDs finally arrived yesterday. I promised myself I'd only watch 1 episode a day so I could always have some Thrones in my back pocket and went to bed last night proud of my restraint. Today I watched episodes 2,3 and 4 and have run out of Thrones. I am not proud of myself and need to petition our Popcorn poppet for a refill. Cassie!

Bill Maurer

please no. The Joss Whedon JL is an abomination

Rakesh

Ultimate ( aka Extended) edition is the only way. It was a complete different experience watching the butchered version at the cinema and then getting the actually story tied together in ultimate. Very happy you did this. Kudos to you and everyone who voted for this

Mark Vaderr

Congratulations Cassie on reaching 475k subscribers on YouTube! Make that 476k subscribers. You think you can reach 500k subscribers before the year is over?

Charles Briggs

There's the theatrical cut and the ultimate edition the ultimate edition is the way to go much better version of the film

Rakesh

C'mon now clay play nice. Vox populi, vox dei

ROBERT CLARK

Just Curious. Those of you who are new to Game Of Thrones. How are you finding the show?

JAKH

Watch "BvS Ultimate Edition", not the Theatrical version. They cut a lot of backstory and character building for the Theatrical version (which is why it bombed in theaters)

Rakesh

It's interesting cinema history wise to see a compelety different cut. But I'd be against watching the Joss cut. It's just rubbish compared to the Synder cut

Anthony Carlson

I know Natalie Gold just broke 500k and Cassie isn’t too far behind.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

RIP Terence Stamp, a brilliant actor who died this week. Many will know him best as General Zod in Superman 1 and 2 (1978/1980), but he had such an amazing acting career in other films like Ken Loach's Poor Cow (1967), The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert (1994), Star Wars: Episode 1 (1999). His final acting role was in Edgar Wright's Last Night in Soho (2021). Here is a wonderful BBC Scene By Scene interview with him in 1998, he had just finished filming Star Wars: Episode 1 (1999). At 35.40 he talks about doing Hu Man (1975), filming some jaw-droppingly dangerous scenes including lying out of an open helicopter, standing in a surrounding water tide and lying down next to a lava spewing volcano! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViJ3BoeS-kQ

Tyler Foster

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is up on digital today, FYI!

Rakesh

Critical reception: While the original theatrical cut received mixed reviews (28% on Rotten Tomatoes), the Ultimate Edition has been praised by fans and some critics for its improved pacing, character development, and tone, with audience scores notably higher (IMDb 9.3/10 for Ultimate Edition). Notably, the Ultimate Edition is regarded as the definitive version by many fans, especially for those interested in a richer, darker take on Batman and Superman's conflict, and acts as a strong precursor for Zack Snyder's Justice League. - from perplexity

Rosario Cicero

I don’t know. I just looked at a few numbers and the difference seems pretty negligible

Chris Retzlaff

Its so long though.....Ive watched three times..but recently for my fourth....I just couldn't do it...part 5ish kept falling asleep

Larry Darrell

Since no one called it… Dibs on the Rita Hayworth poster!! The Human Comedy (1943) is my jam. Cannot wait. :-) PS: if we’re going back to 1943, then all y’all are gonna miss out on Rita’s beauty. She got herself suspended the first week of school that year… and it had nothing to do with the poster. That was from 2 years before and Everybody already knew about it. ;-)

Gary Brown

I was never a fantasy type film watcher, but I tried to watch this when it was fairly new and I bailed out on season 2 episode 4 because I found it too boring.

Richard Maurer

I’m waiting for Thunderbolts to come to Disney+ to do the full watch-along, but I’ll let the YouTube edit run on my TV and give it a like when it gets released. Does this count as a good attitude? Otherwise I’ll have to bring my normal snarky, sarcastic attitude to the live. Or maybe I’ll just do what I normally do and avoid the live like it has cooties.

Joe J

Very glad Cassie is continuing with BvS and Justice League.

Ron Fisher

Cassie! No need to be sad! Put on a pot of coffee, I'll bring Danish, and we'll nosh! The time will fly by!

Joe J

Nothing against Natalie as a person...but her reacting style makes me empty my pockets and run for the hills, lol.

Walter

ditto

Andrew Taylor

Make sure it’s the ultimate edition for BvS and Zack snyders JL if we get to them

Joe J

Clay - everyone but you knew she would continue with the Synderverse...you were just in denial bro, lol.

ROBERT CLARK

I'm waiting for it to arrive on Disney+ to watch Cassie's reaction too

Gary Brown

Cassie, I hope u spread out the old films because I can't find Human Comedy anywhere to stream on wat I have. I had an anxiety attack over Game of thrones, but it'll probably be over middle of next year. I hope u will do all the Snyder verse. If ur doing shows with long seasons, please do the Sopranos. For some reason, I had access to ur chat and then I didn't. Im unable to move up a tier because I am on a fixed income. I can't figure out discord. That's an anxiety attack in and of itself. I was married 7 years and had 1 kid, but we got divorced b4 he started school. Long story. I love u Cassie popcorn, and when I watch movies with u, I get to escape reality for a little bit. Thank u for all u do for us.

Thamor

As you mainly do movies. You willing to try anime movie? I would suggest "Your Name" or "A Silent Voice" both highly rated anime movies.

Clarence Newman

Before I settled on Cassie's Patreon, it was down to her and Natalie Gold. The only days I ever regret that decision are when Cassie fails to watch Cool Hand Luke.

JohnnyUtah

I'd imagine she'd enjoy ghibli films, howls moving castle, spirited away, castle in the sky. Knowing the voice actors might spark her try it.

Phil Stubblefield

Ditto! Sources say it's coming to Disney+ on Wednesday, August 27.

Steve Holton

Congratulations Cole! And thanks again for everything and continued success KL! 🎉

Anthony Carlson

Let’s hope Cole does know how to fire phasers as Riker joked to Worf! 😂

Jay Jay Reyes

YOU HAVE TO WATCH EXTENDED VERSION Of Batman v Superman.

Clay F

Cassie didn't seem to get into Spirited Away. See her full reaction (Patreon exclusive): https://www.patreon.com/posts/spirited-away-60964299 +1 for "Your Name". I like Ghibli. My kids loved Kiki's Delivery Service (which Cassie might like). Cassie might also like Howl's Moving Castle.

kaiielle

Thank you Cassie. ❤️ Cole is going to be a great addition to the PIB Team! 🎉

clutchkman

Rita Hayworth poster reminds me that Gilda would be a great reaction.

Richard Maurer

Beth - Human Comedy is a pick-a-flick winner, so she really doesn’t have too much choice when she watches it. The next winner will be coming in couple of weeks.

Gary Brown

Yeah , it's just all these older ones are harder to find. I have 5-6 streaming services and can't find it on mine.

My_Cousin_Mose

At least you showed a modicum of restraint. More than I would have had.

Clay F

Can rent Human Comedy to stream for $3.79 on US Amazon.

Doug Law

If you're taking suggestions consider> A Knight's Tale (2001) Heath Ledger

Milton Reduxed

We should watch The Limey (1999) in memoriam

Clay F

I definitely prefer Nolan (Bale) Batman.

Thamor

Well I suggest these 2 as both are more grounded stories and not too over the top. Ghibli movies are good, but like Spirited Away can be hard to grasp for a person who isn't used to anime.

Clay F

Joe, that's for sure. Big time denial.

Clay F

She has seen it.

Cole Jennett

I started with Natalie Gold too. Left as soon as she finished Game of Thrones. Rest assured Cassie, that won’t happen again, ha ha

Clay F

Yeah -- that's what it was with her and Spirited Away.

Mark Vaderr

Natalie Gold is okay. Never a subscriber, but liked a few of her reactions. She loves to talk.....A LOT! Watched her reaction to Godzilla Minus One and left halfway through. It was offensive.

K, Zachary

Hey Oh Cassie, Carly PIB staff and the rest of her dedicated viewers. Hmmm, We were crossing our fingers and hoping for The Birdcage? Oh well still 2/3 isn't bad. In two weeks we will start joining you for GOT since we just watched the first season a month ago. However she stopped it at episode 10 or 11. ( Which ever you prefer) We will be back from Cali by then. Our last Cubs game of the year is tomorrow. We will be missing the last game on Labor day due to us being in Cali. Oh well. We have decided to take our dogs to Cali with us. This should be interesting. Now I am off to Iowa City for another bi-weekly Urology procedure. My medical problems are never going to end. 😭. Oh well. I will be sick the rest of my life. Sometimes you have to just roll with the punches. Take things in stride. Remember forgiveness is a virtue. I bid you all a good day! Since the Steelers are back it's time for there song Renegade https://youtu.be/1F8CA2OY7Lk?si=rTZdQ-dSAUw--liq

Doug Law

The Wicker Man (1973) Christopher Lee and Edward Woodward Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011) Judi Dench and Bill Nighy) Capote (2005) Philip Seymour Hoffman The Queen (2006) Helen Mirren, Michael Sheen Philomena (2013) Judi Dench, Steve Coogan Per Popcorn Requests all of these are UNSEEN

Clay F

I am excited with Cassie's Picks Poll and the choices that are currently winning. Also excited for GoT. Human Comedy might be ok.

Ted Whalen

I was hoping it was a Farrah Fawcett poster

My_Cousin_Mose

Cole has realized the power of the dark side! Congrats on the promotion dude.

My_Cousin_Mose

3 weeks in a row with at least 1 thing I'm excited to watch. This is a PiB record for me. I'm very happy that I can expect another 30 weeks or so of the same treatment.

Jimmy Stewart

Just as others have said Batman vs Superman Directors cut ultimate version of the film is the way to go.

Clay F

Some good choices in your list. My top two (highly requested by me): --Capote (2005). Philip Seymour Hoffman won Best Actor Oscar. --The Queen (2006). Helen Mirren won Best Actress Oscar.

Doug Law

Thank you, good catch. I forgot to check Popcorn Requests on that one.

Shawn Kildal

I agreed with everyone that the Ultimate Edition for Batman v Superman is a significant upgrade.

Chris Thom

Not sure if you could make theme out, but there were some great voice actors in AI. Robin Williams as Dr. Know and Meryl Streep as the Blue Fairy, and Ben Kingsley as the evolved mecha/story narrator.

Collar City Guy

Thanks for everything over the years KL, Godspeed to ya and a hardy welcome to moderating on the best channel on the internet Cole many thanks in advance. Y'all do stuff I surely never could!

Fanny Adams

Many thanks to the both of them!

My_Cousin_Mose

Natalie Gold watching GoT was my introduction to the reaction genre. I don't watch her anymore but through her I found PiB. So thanks Nat!

TheSingulatarian

The only change I would recommend is watching "Wonder Woman" first before "Batman vs Superman" Everything will make more sense that way.

Chris Thom

Yes, thank you KL. Enjoy your channel too.

Chris Thom

The Queen would be really interesting to her and Carly, I think. Newer classic.

Stan the Man

I’m betting others have said this but you have to watch “The Ultimate edition” of Batman V Superman

Cole Jennett

You are correct, sir. Many, many times over

bgb1975 (Brian)

I'll have a Royale with cheese, please! Yer gonna love "The Human Comedy", Cassie! Can't wait to watch it along with you.

Clay F

Plus, Wonder Woman (2017) is much better, and we've already had enough Superman and Batman. This will make the 5th Superman movie on the channel, and then after her reacting to Superman (2025), that will make 6 Superman. When will the madness stop? I can't complain b/c I am getting GoT and good results in the Cassie's Picks polls.

mikethemotormouth

Stop stuffing student council in lockers? That's your home! Are you too good for your home?!

Chris Thom

Literally thought Cole was a moderator here this whole time. Whoops. But welcome again!

Chris Thom

For real. That genuinely struck a nerve. Lol

Clay F

After she realizes she doesn't like BvS and with BvS not getting the views, I hope she abandons Justice League. But I've never seen the extended version of BvS and will give it a chance (I'm just not a fan of monotnous effects driven action). Also, Justice League is better than BvS.

Mike Redford

Surely did, and I didn't even mention the relief I had that someone found Rita! Thought the principal had confiscated her for sure

Jerry Cummings

Cassie. Hold these school days dearly. Get all the memories out of them you can. They go by so fast, one day you will turn around and find all you have are the memories.

Clay F

GoT E1/E2 YT reaction = 120k views (1 day). How high will the views go?

Joe J

Richard - It's free on Flixbaba if you don't want to wait.

Joe J

I think her and Carly will enjoy it. As for YT views, easy 100-150k.

Gary Brown

I'll look into it but can only watch it if it's free

David Freese

Hard to pass yt guidelines for amine. If she did more it would be Patreon exclusive like Spirited Away

Mark White

My money was on you being the next Mod Steve! 😃 Cole will be awesome.

Joe J

I wouldn't have expected it, but I thought Affleck was solid as Batman.

Mark White

Mark, Cassie would hit 500k subscribers in October if she watches “The Exorcist”! 😉😆

Joe J

All we ever have are memories...so make good memories.

Ike

We’re in our 2nd week for the senior year (went by fast). Here are somethings I had in high school that these kids look at me crazy for mentioning: 1. I had a wall locker. It was home in between classes (or periods). It had all my stuff!! 2. I could wear whatever I wanted, within reason, but not Crocs - they weren’t invented yet. Every student today seems be wearing Crocs, like they are going to nursing school. 3. Wacky Hall Monitors. These were student, voluntary stormtroopers that wanted to validate why you were in transit during testing. All they were really good for is trafficking gossip and lookouts for smokers. 4. Math, Science, History or other book(s), with my name on my customize cover, that I can study whenever. If it’s NOT in the book, it’s probably NOT on tests. (they all have iPads now and don’t see the big deal with books). School is so weird now.

Gro Do

I just noticed the Star Trek Season two key episodes was taken down off youtube.

Yaisu

I don't know how you have the patience NOT to binge watch GOT.

Mark White

Cassie, it’s funny you mention going back to school. I rewatched your reaction to “Kindergarten cop” last night. I needed a light hearted laugh after a brutal day! You mention your kids going back to school, so I assume the reaction was recorded at a similar time of year? It really lifted my spirits and helped me relax and laugh, putting my day behind me. It’s funny, because those type of movies wouldn’t break a top 500 movie list for me. But with your wonderful, delightful reaction to this type of movie, I find myself often turning to them after a tough time. So, thank you for lifting my spirits. “I have a headache” “It might be a tumor?” “It’s NOT a Tumor!” 😂😂

Ted Whalen

Mark- the best line is when the twins say, “our mom says that our dad is a sex machine.”

Mark White

😂 it sure is, how about.. My dad is a gynecologist...and he looks at vaginas all day long. 😆

MGCR

MICKEY ROONEY…!!

Ted Whalen

Mark….lol…..that is actually the best line.

Clarence Newman

I did the same with Demolition Man recently, Mark. I love Cassie's reaction when Sandra Bullock is trying to get cyber-jiggy with Sly. "Kissing's not allowed!!?"

Gray

It's not my cup of tea either @ Clay, but you know it is going to give decent views, and they will enjoy it, so no doubt more will be coming.

Mark White

Yeah! 😂 Cassie seamed genuinely offended by the no kissing law! 😆

Clarence Newman

Agreed. She's already seen part of it in Shawshank Redemption, she might as well watch the rest.

Rick Rodriguez

Sorry to see KL go from here. Will always check out her channel.

Gray

Looking forward to A.I. bet that wasn't an easy watch if you are full of tears. Also enjoying the GoT reactions and, like other patrons, anticipating the next batch of eps to watch. Seeya at the Butter Live.

Milton Reduxed

We need to get Terminator 3 on the channel for some more Schwarzenegger comedy

Richard Maurer

Thanks, but I can wait 8 days at this point.

Renegade Kingpin

I am going to strongly recommend that when you watch Batman V. Superman, please watch the ultimate edition (director cut) it adds scenes that help thread the plot more clearly as well as sets up well with the Zach Snyder cut of Justice League

Mike Lemon

"Every student today seems be wearing Crocs" To be fair, they have a wider toe-box that is shaped like actual feet, not the cramped torture devices "fashion designers" seem to prefer making. I am curious, if not-plastic shoes were made foot shaped, would croc-people go back to wearing them?

Mike Lemon

"When will the madness stop? " Yes. Yeeeessss. Come over to my side! Us people who have been screaming for variety for years (and largely being blown off) are pretty nice most of the time.

Stick Figure Studios

BATMAN V SUPERMAN is a bit of a confused mess of a movie, but it does have its merits. Like everyone else here, I'm going to recommend you watch the extended director's/ultimate cut. It is definitely the superior version. I am curious to see what you and Carly think of the DCEU as compared to the MCU. They were clearly trying to copy the Marvel template but the studio made some significant mistakes by a) rushing things and b) selecting some of the wrong people to spearhead their efforts. Nevertheless, there are some good entries in there (I am particularly looking forward to you reacting to the first WONDER WOMAN and the first SHAZAAM) and I think you will enjoy a number of them. Sorry to hear about KL leaving. She was a great moderator, but she's an even better reactor (I have watched a number of her videos on YT). Good luck to her. P.S. Really curious to see your reaction to A.I.

Stick Figure Studios

I can't see anybody here suggesting she watch the theatrical cut of JL, so I suspect she will go right to the Snyder version.

Stick Figure Studios

They're only two versions The theatrical and the extended/ultimate.

Stick Figure Studios

I am guessing you were referring to the first WONDER WOMAN and the first SHAZAAM. Those are the best ones of the DCEU IMO (though I also enjoyed the first AQUAMAN and James Gunn's THE SUICIDE SQUAD).

Mike Lemon

Good for you. I'm envious. I'm still stuck at 12-1/2 watches for the year. I think the last full one was Shakespeare in Love (maybe Road Warrior, whichever was last). Fingers crossed my drought ends pretty soon (but it's not looking good).

Batarella

For the love of all that's holy, why Mickey Rooney? The man was a terrible human being. Terrible to women, terrible to his wife... one doesn't have to do a deep dive to find that out.

Mike Lemon

"She's already seen part of it in Shawshank Redemption" Which would go with my poll idea of "movies I've seen in other movies".

Joe J

The movie won the random monthly Pick-a-flick. She watched "The Pianist" from Polanski, so I'm guessing Mickey will be good to go.

clutchkman

Yes, and Rita is captivating in the role. You can't help empathizing with the plight of Glenn Ford's character.

Mark White

Don’t be a stranger on here Kaiielle Oh btw, I did see your reaction to “There will be blood” the other day, one of my all time favourites. Yet, another movie we both really enjoy. Have you now checked out Cassie’s reaction to it?

Clay F

He played the Asian guy in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Shawn Kildal

It's definitely going to out do Star Trek TNG. The lone Star Trek TOS is creeping up to 220K views though

Chris Retzlaff

But it 7 and a half years long....that cuts into GOT time...and we need all that....lol

My_Cousin_Mose

I feel for you Mike, I'll cross my fingers for ya.

Chris Thom

That movie came out the year I was going to Kindergarten. So that was kind of a trip. Interesting to have old movies like that where you have two very different views of them; as a five year old and then as an adult. Like the kid putting the lasers or whatever in the tower made perfect sense to me at one point. Lol

Mike Lemon

Oh no, Cole has fallen to the Dark Side. filian- You're saying my mods are grooming me? Shondo- That's what mods do, that's why they're mods. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSx6JuRP6KY (that's joking before anyone gets their knickers in a twist)

Milton Reduxed

Natalie Gold is grating, a bit like The Coby Show

David Sumner

Batman V Superman, you should definitely watch the Extended Version. It's far superior and more coherent than the original theatrical version.

Mark White

Agreed, I’m not a fan, but I think they will get good numbers on the Tube. “Not my cup of tea” do Americans have that saying over the pond?! I do like our British sayings, but they must be confusing as hell to everyone else. 😆 Saying that, you do appear to be wearing a Italian football top? So now I’m confused 🤔😆 Are you maybe Pirlo in disguise?! ⚽️

My_Cousin_Mose

Already declared yourself for House Stark eh?

Ed Garland

Will Batman vs Superman be the Extended version, or Theatrical version?? Sorry if it was said in other comments, and I didn't see. Thank you ~

Richard Maurer

If it follows the other GoT reactions I’ve checked (and series reactions in general) there will be a gradual decline as the series progresses.

Mark White

Cole, I too would like to congratulate you on being a PiB mod🎉 I know you will be keeping a close eye on things, so please can I ask you to keep a eye on Cassie and make sure she keeps her promise of a “Duel” reaction in the next couple of months. Duuuueeeeeelllllllllll! 🚗🚛

Michael West

Another great lineup. Congratulations on the awesome opportunity, Cole, don't forget us little people who "knew you back when"...:). Cassie, the "stuffed in the locker" thing gave me a little PTSD from middle school, lol, just kidding.

Mike Lemon

@Clarence- That is one of them. You'd be surprised how many times it happens. I posted a list a couple years ago with a bunch on it, but I can't be bothered to make another one. I do know Texas Chainsaw Massacre was in The Burbs.

Mark Vaderr

It's fun to dream. I am looking forward to Scary, Not Too Scary October.

Cole Jennett

Which is usually the case with most shows, but I’m glad it’s starting off well. I was a little nervous when it premiered, but seems to have found its audience now.

Clay F

I’ve seen at least 2 new patron faces who are GoT fans.

Mark Vaderr

Milton- I don't know about The Coby Show, but I agree with you on Natalie Gold, and yet she has 500k subscribers. Meanwhile the channels for Hold Down A, Jen Murray & Kat Watches Horror Movies have only over 100k subscribers each, and they are much better reactors. Aria C barely registers with under 30k subscribers and she's a delightful reactor. I guess I'm not made to understand all of this.

Cole Jennett

I’ve never seen it so it won’t be at the top of my list. These polls she recently released are more my type.

Mark White

😂 forgot that one Cole! 😂

Clay F

There have been a ton of comments recommending the extended version. I don't think I've seen a single comment recommending the theatrical version. I don't think she has said which version she will react to.

Tyler Hale

The truth is the extended version was the version Zack submitted for the studio.

Tyler Hale

That’s why we recommend the Ultimate Cut

Stick Figure Studios

Oh, it's still a mess even in that form, but it's a better mess.

kaiielle

Thank you 😊

Tyler Hale

Here’s hoping it’s the Ultimate Cut of BvS

kaiielle

I did, Mark!

kaiielle

Thanks Steve! 😊

Ronnie

Is game of thrones going to be once a week on Sunday?

Clay F

I like coherency.

Clay F

She said end of September for Duel (or maybe October?) — but she has so much on her mind and she says a lot. She has said multiple times before she may react to a movie but didn’t. Keep asking.

Tyler Foster

Not a huge fan of BvS, but I like it significantly better than MoS. If it's the Ultimate Edition, I snagged a 4K copy awhile back and it'd be a good excuse to give it a spin. Also, I *would* be excited for some of the other DCEU stuff, namely Aquaman and Birds of Prey, and a reaction might finally get me to sit down with Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League...

Brian McGovern

Still my favourite piece of reaction and going to take some beating: "Brother and sister? Twins? ✋️Oh Gosh.🤚 Eeewwww"

Clay F

Now at 125k (1 day) but will never reach the views of years past. Yet, the number of paid Patreon members has increased by 400 since start of GoT. Increased by almost 200 on the single day of the YT premier. She was at 3400 on Jan 1 and been a steady gradual decline to 3000 (Aug), but jumped +400 last last few days since GoT start back to 3400. Not groundbreaking but nice.

Richard Maurer

I sincerely hope it does well for her now that she’s decided to watch. I even gave a like to the first YouTube edit. But plenty of people here (including me) aren’t watching.

Ed Garland

Ok, Thank you. Hopefully when she see's all the comments, she'll watch the extended version ,and let us know . :)

Richard Maurer

Apparently Cassie isn’t canceling movies or series just because some person among the many involved is problematic. Good for her.

Cole Jennett

Oof, I really struggled with Birds of Prey. I’d like to see her do the first Wonder Woman before Justice League, but I’d be fine if she left it there

Richard Maurer

I have to say I’m having a better than normal year so far. But the likely inevitable disappointment of October is coming.

Cole Jennett

I believe the Snyder Cut is split into 4 segments. I expect they would do it as a 2 parter because Carly struggles with long movies as it is.

Tyler Foster

I'm on the other end: BoP is basically the only movie to come out of the DCEU that I cared about at all, although I liked a couple and thought a couple more were okay. But I'd have given up at least 80% of them for multiple BoP movies.

Clay F

I've been thinking to skip A.I., Human Comedy, and BvS. At least I have GoT. Cassie's Picks polls going well for me.

Clay F

Once a week, but no fixed day. The last full reaction (E3, E4) posted 5 days ago on Thursday. The next full reaction (E5, E6) will post in the next few days.

Ronnie

Thanks for the update.

Walter

Affleck wasn’t bad, but I didn’t like this take on Batman.

Mike Lemon

The Internet Archive has it. I saw it has hard subs but beggars can't be choosers.

Cole Jennett

I can’t imagine it would do well for the channel though. Wonder Woman ought to.

Tyler Foster

I mean, that's not very important to me, haha. I think Cassie would have fun with it, which is more relevant, IMO.

Ron Fisher

No, it's an American name for a desert

Gary Brown

Thanks but that'll just give more anxiety if I can't figure it out.

McDiesel92

Will you try to catch up on the other MCU content you haven't done yet (Hawkeye, Ms Marvel, Moonknight, The Marvels)?

Cole Jennett

It’s a valid question. I’m going to say it’s unlikely. I’d love her to do Hawkeye at least, maybe at Christmas.

David Sumner

They inexplicably screwed him and the movie over by forcing 30 minutes of cuts.

Batarella

And I never suggested she cancel watching anything. Just voiced my disdain for the actor and film choice.

Richard Maurer

The Marvels was a decent movie - despite what the internet hate grifters said. And Moon knight was really good.

Chris Retzlaff

Epilogue is part 7....parts 1/2 end at 1.09 3/4 end at 2.22 5/6 end at 3.34. The story flows with the two parts...but might work doing 3 parts at a time

Philip Alan

Yes. Hawkeye at the very least. I really enjoyed that show.

Philip Alan

Batman V Superman: Extended version please. And when is the surprise MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - FINAL RECKONING reaction? It's out on digital now! :)

Clay F

Yeah -- I sad to see that she reacting to BvS. Happy for my fellow patrons who are fans, but is a confused mess smothered in grim/monotonous effects driven action. I don't think Cassie (or Carly) will like it.

Gábor Árki

Yeah, I was thinking of WONDER WOMAN, but the other, already done was MAN OF STEEL. Honestly, it didn't even cross my mind that SHAZAAM is also DCEU. That was quite good too. I did enjoy the first AQUAMAN too, but I would say it is more like entertaining as a one time watch than good. I just checked and there are 16! DCEU movies. I though it was like 8-9. That would have been bad enough for me having no interest in more than 2-3. But 16, that will be tough and so much reaction time to sit out. Especially besides GoT, which already taking up a slot for the next year.

Mark White

Thanks Clay, I will. Maybe in the weekly update, I will put a little reminder in.

Mark White

CASSIE, little reminder for next month. DUELLLLLLLLLL! 🚗🚛 Pleeaaseeeeeee!

Happy Hanukkah

In response to everybody here asking me, I'd guess that Wonder Woman and Aquaman are more "Cassie" than any of the other DCEU movies, definitely including the backbone ones / trilogy. ADDED: I was so flustered by the pressure that I forgot to include Shazam.

Clarence Newman

Definitely. Double stampsies no erasies!

Clarence Newman

The reaction to "fluid transfer" isn't even verbal. Her hands just do an involuntary "ick" dance. I also love the way she mimicks Sandra at the start of the scene: Sandra: I was wondering if you'd like to have sex." Stallone: "With you?" Sandra: "Mm-hm." Cassie (perfectly mimicking): "Mm-hm."

Clarence Newman

Nonsense, Richard. The Fly, Horror of Dracula, maybe a lizard movie or two. They're all slam dunks at this point. And remember, she's going to have two months of Game of Thrones under her belt by then, so she might even take on The Exorcist.

Happy Hanukkah

(I opened this post in a tab and am finally getting to it, some 250 comments later.) "things may just get a lot more organized over here ;) " Waitaminute, we got us an impostor here! No way could Cassie pull off a wink! :-) "She has been incredible, completely organized our whole discord" Organizing discord? Uhm... Once again, thanks to KL and best of luck on her own channel. https://www.youtube.com/@kaiielle Welcome to your new job, Cole. Despite the blatant Prairie favoritism, I shall currently repress all locker-stuffing thoughts. "A poster of Rita Hayworth"? Is it decent?

Clarence Newman

Allow me: Summer of '42 is in the Shining The Shining and A Star Is Born are in Twister Frankenstein (1932) is in Twisters Top Hat is in Green Mile The Thing From Another World is in Halloween Halloween is in Scream Scream 2 is in Halloween 20 Jaws is in Jurassic Park This Gun For Hire and Roman Holiday are in LA Confidential Gilda is in Shawshank Angels With Filthy Souls is in Home Alone Angels With Even Filthier Souls is in Home Alone 2

Clarence Newman

When it comes to Cassie, I'm like Howard Wolowitz at this point. I really should move out and broaden my horizons, but I've got everything I need right here. And is "Coby Show" like Cassie saying Kick A Money Money? Cos we can't invoke the name of Bill anymore?

Clarence Newman

As a layman who ran out of gas with the whole superhero thing years ago, I have a question for the ringers: How could Batman ever beat Superman? Batman's a toff with a fancy suit, a fast car and a small bird for a bodyguard, and Superman is, well, superhuman (unless you give him some crystallized wasabi but that would be cheating). Have we forgotten that Catwoman stabbed Batman *through his suit* with her little claws while they were doing some righteous BDSM on the roof in Batman Returns? One punch from Supe to Batman's UNPROTECTED JAW and Bruce Wayne's head would be circumnavigating the globe. I haven't seen this film, of course, so I hope this is not a spoiler, and please don't spoil the film with your answer. One is just curious how one would make this a fair fight.

Clarence Newman

Batman: "The air's getting pretty thin up here." Superman: "I know." Batman: "What I mean is, I can't frickin breathe." Superman: "That's the point, Jabroni." Batman: "OK, you win."

Byrd N. Hand

It's presumably not going to make it to YT anyway, particularly given that even I've never heard of it.

Byrd N. Hand

This is also a 'Batman-ized' Superman we're talking about here... 🤐

MikeLL

Congratulations to Cole, the new mod. I missed the whole announcement yesterday due to too much happening in my life and on my phone, but I'm know he will be a great addition to the team! This will be a great week on the channel. Superheros, Thrones, and The Human Comedy! A Classic that the Classic Guy hasn't seen all of . . .yet. I previewed the first 40 minutes after the it was Flick Picked, and I predict a lot of warmed hearts and maybe a few tears! Maybe my own!

Byrd N. Hand

Is it just me, or does the page for anyone else now automatically scroll back to the top of the comments any time you leave one under someone else's post? If so, Patreon has clearly added another unnecessary and annoying-AF feature. 😒

Happy Hanukkah

The only way it has worked in the past is: (i) Batman uses his well-established smarts to figure out how to cheat effectively using the wasabi, *and* (ii) Superman being sufficiently moral and overconfident not to end things immediately. Absent both these conditions, a 1v1 is indeed laughable.

Clarence Newman

Yes, that started a week or two ago, Byrd. I've flagged it with Patreon and was discussing it with him over the weekend. He's got all the info now so he should be away trying to fix it. As you say....annoying AF.

Gary Brown

Thanks. I got it saved. It's so old I couldn't find it on YouTube. Now I can watch it with her

Richard Maurer

Doesn’t do that on my phone, but instead it jumps and then jumps right back. So somehow my phone has a way of stopping it? Weird.

Clarence Newman

Maybe he's halfway through fixing it and did phones first.

Richard Maurer

Kryptonite is the key, it’s literally Superman’s……..kryptonite. Spoiler Alert - In the comic story that B v S is partly, and badly, adapted (a non-main reality timeline) from Batman uses Kryptonite, sonics, a Ironman-lite suit, the city’s power grid, and still - Spoiler Alert - loses. In the main timeline comics Batman is found out to keep contingency plans on how to kill every superhero should they turn evil. When confronted by the Justice League he has no regrets.

Rakesh

Batman is an expert tactician as as an expert tactician he has obviously thought about how to neutralise threats. A great comic about this is justice league tower of babel or the animated justice League doom movie. Remember the tale of David Vs Goliath. BvS is an excellent movie. So despite your fatigue I expect you to watch and make notes.

Richard Maurer

I’m shocked I wasn’t asked to be a mod!……………………Bwahahahahaha! Yeah, not really, but I’m sure I was in the running, LOL. Congrats, Cole.

Rakesh

Hawkeye is actually a great idea for a Christmas theme series.

Mark White

I think you were on the short list Richard. Maybe not to be a Mod! But definitely on a list! 😉😆

Richard Maurer

I’m just hoping no one convinces her to watch the whole DCEU, most of which are mediocre - at best. And the DCEU is - sorry Snyder fans - over anyway, and it’s not coming back.

Richard Maurer

I’d rather she’d watch Hereditary, but that’s not happening either…….in fact of the things you mentioned the only one with a possibility of happening is a Godzilla movie, because they’re not really Halloween movies. And I’ll thank you to not to refer to the King of the Monsters as a Lizard. That’s like calling Cool Hand Luke a common criminal.

Richard Maurer

Clarence- Been that way for a couple of weeks now.

Richard Maurer

If I were a mod I’d treat everyone the same - with disdain and condescension, with a touch of sarcasm to spice things up a bit. That way at least no one could say I was playing favorites. ;-)

Mark White

Could you imagine if they asked Clarence?!

Clarence Newman

I applied but got turned down. All I asked for my salary was 1 reaction a week.

Richard Maurer

Salary? “You guys are getting paid?” ;-)

Clarence Newman

I think that's the problem. Cole and the guys are doing it out of unconditional respect and affection for Cassie. My affection for Cassie is well conditional and prone to regular disgruntlement.

Mike Lemon

I hope you (or Clarence or Mark) are never a mod. I would hate if I couldn't talk to you guys on here anymore.

Richard Maurer

Clarence Respectful - always. Unconditional - doesn’t exist in this world.

Mike Lemon

@Richard - The "contingency plans" story was and into a great animated movie (Justice League - War ??? I look it up later.). Highly recommend. (edit- I see Rakesh says it is Doom)

Clarence Newman

Mike. If I was a mod, my first act would be to get "Indictment: The McMartin Trial" on the schedule. In one game-changing move, it would turn you into a mellow fellow for years to come: "More Star Trek? Suuure, bring it on. All the Doctor Who's from William Hartnell onwards? Where's my popcorn?" Richard: "Respectful - always." Mods! Can he just lie like that? I have a back catalogue of 247 online wedgies that disprove his theory.

Richard Maurer

I meant respectful to Cassie - everyone else gets exactly the respect they deserve - especially you Clarence. Indictment? Thanks for looking out for me. If I became a mod I’d be sure to get Show Me Love on the watchlist.

Clarence Newman

You'd definitely owe me a Cannonball Run or two.

Richard Maurer

Yeah but it was in the comics first - Tower of Babel.

Richard Maurer

Ha! You still owe me picks on Popcorn Requests - I’ll never let that one go.

Clarence Newman

Get outta heeee. That was a done deal, no backsies. The fact that it left CR two votes ahead of HoD on the list is not my problem.

Clarence Newman

It's like watching Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstater argue.

Mark White

That’s no problem with me Mike. Not that Cassie would ever ask me, but even if she did, I would respectfully turn her down, for many reasons. The most important being this is my place to come and switch off and have a laugh with you guys. I couldn’t do that if I had to take the responsibility of being a Mod. It would take away my fun and turn it into a job.

Clarence Newman

Inaccurate vernacular, Clay. For folks like me and Ronnie, the day Cassie uploads Game of Thrones will definitely be a "fix" day. I only finished watching episode 4 yesterday and I already bear a striking resemblance to Ewan McGregor in Trainspotting.

Clarence Newman

Yes, but you could side with me against Richard in all things and bring up Cannonball Run at every staff meeting with Cassie. Both noble pursuits, I say.

Clarence Newman

Au contraire, thy mort-vivant. I believe only one of us here reads comic books and it's not me.

Richard Maurer

Neither of you are qualified to be mods. ;-)

Mark White

That is also true! 😆

Clarence Newman

The Fly's happening, Horror of Dracula might be happening, and the big gecko has already been promised.

Joe J

Us and Them! Cole is one of "them" now. He can't sit at our lunch table anymore...sad. 😢

Mark White

You can’t ask a question like that in here! You will start a riot! 😆

Richard Maurer

Clarence - Your denial only makes you look weak. Be proud to be the nerd that you are.

Joe J

Cassie, just a friendly reminder. 😉 You said on the Jaws 2 YT premiere chat you will watch "Duel" (1971). " @Joe J yes, it will be a trick or TREAT heavy on the treat leading up to scary but not too scary Halloween, Halloween LITE if you will”

Clarence Newman

I used to have pride in myself, but Cassie has beaten it down with her constant refusal to watch my favourite films. If she watches Horror of Dracula or Indictment: The McMartin Trial before she watches Cool Hand Luke or Bullitt, I'm putting my willy in a blender.

Clarence Newman

She did! You did! Don't be a fibber, Cassie. You need to set an example for your wayward sister who watched Jaws but callously stood us up on Jaws 2. We've been injured enough.

Bill Maurer

just putting this out there .... as Cassie & Carly are going to watch Batman V Superman (Ultimate Edition). I am pretty sure they will continue the series with Snyder's version (definitely not Whedon's version) of Justice League. Semi-spoiler alert ... if you know what happens at the end of B v S ... I think they're going to want to know what happens next. Which I am okay with, there are some reactions to Snyder's Justice League out there.

SF Skol

I would like to cancel my yearly patreon subscription that I subscribed to on Aug 18th 2025 eve. I love the YouTube reactions and expected a similar experience but longer. I did not enjoy the longer full reactions with a blurred out video. (That I watched only a minute of.) I am on social security and $102 is a lot of money to me. Please help me resolve this. I have sent an Email to Cassie on August 19th to support@popcorninbed.com but have not heard anything as of Noon EST on August 20th. If I need to I will put a stop payment on this transaction with my financial institution.

MikeLL

I'm hoping The Sopranos doesn't take precedence over The Wire!

MikeLL

But, oddly or not, NOT the first time he's been seen on the channel!

Clay F

Started doing that on my PC. Annoying. Not an improvement.

MikeLL

I do feel sorry for your experience and your situation, even though I am only a fellow member like yourself. In Cassie's defense however, it is clearly stated when you join the Kernel Club at $102 a year: "+ Exclusive Access to all of my Full Length Movie/TV Show reactions! ***You will need your own copy of the Movie/Show to watch a long.***" Sometimes the buyer has to beware. I do hope this gets resolved in your favor.

Richard Maurer

Carly was the lucky one, she didn’t have to sit through Jaws II.

Happy Hanukkah

Point well taken. Semi-spoiler alert ... Then again, if you know what happens at the "end" of Snyder's Justice League ... you're left wondering WTF happens next. :-)

Happy Hanukkah

If this is gonna be that kind of party...

Dave

I will forward your request. Thanks for trying the channel out!

Milton Reduxed

Calm down, give PiB a few days to respond

Milton Reduxed

I was asked to be a mod but made it clear I'll always be a rocker

Clarence Newman

Obnoxious teenagers getting munched on. What's not to like?

Jon Johns

"No one does" --> Speak for yourself, 🏁🎥🎸💔(Krusty), I don't expect anyone to break the law so I can save $1.99 rental fee. 🤷🏻

Mark White

According to my research, Jaws 2 was in the top 20 earning movies from 1978 to 1984 and was briefly in the top 10 grossing movies of all time list. It never got anywhere near the first one. But, for a sequel in the seventies, top 10 is pretty dam good.

Mark White

Yep, Joe, I think a regular reminder for a Duel reaction is a good idea. I imagine Cassie has a million and one things going through her mind on a day to day basis. So Duel could get over looked if we don’t keep reminding Cassie.

Clarence Newman

OK, as Cassie is very busy and also puffy-eyed from all the crying, I thought I'd help her out by setting the October schedule in advance. You don't need to thank me, Cassie. It's an honour to serve. Here's my logic. There are 12 slots up for grabs in October, and I figure, given the struggles Cassie has had in the past, plus the constant lobbying by the Hardcore Horror Hoodlums for *real* horror to be watched in October (I believe Richard said there were only 2 that qualified last October, which is complete hooey because at least 3 made me wet the bed), it would be a good idea to give Cassie a few little islands of reprieve along the way so we don't actually break her and have to go somewhere else for our reactions. If we can mix in a few cleansers, she will probably be able to deal with some of the more bone-chilling fare on the roster. So here's my list: Slot 1 - Game of Thrones (Thought I'd forget, didn't you? Not horror, but not exactly out of place in October either) Slot 2 (MONSTER MOVIE) - King Kong (2005) - Let's start off with a proper monster movie. She's already promised to watch it and what better way to get the main party started? Slot 3 (TRUE HORROR) - Horror of Dracula (1958) - A bona fide horror movie, but made in the 50s so not quite as scary as some of the more recent stuff. Suave performance by Christopher Lee, ably supported by Peter Cushing. Cassie can handle it just fine. Slot 4 - Game of Thrones Slot 5 - Carrie (1976) - Pretty decent horror, but not too full on for Cassie to handle. Slot 6 (TRUE HORROR) - The Fly (1986) - The time has come. Cassie loves Jeff Goldblum and it would be inappropriate to shun his performance in this one just because he develops a skin problem. Slot 7 - Game of Thrones EDIT (Changed my mind on this one) Slot 8 - Creepshow (1982) - A series of sketches penned by Stephen King. Plenty of horror elements, but also a great cast and deliberately tongue-in-cheek feel to it. Stephen King stars in one of the segments. Slot 9 (TRUE HORROR) - Blair Witch Project (1999) - Definitely no spoilers please! Slot 10 - Game of Thrones Slot 11 - The Time Machine (1960) - Mostly sci-fi, but with good horror elements. A great story all around. Slot 12 - (MONSTER MOVIE) - Godzilla's Shin (or whatever version of the ongoing Lizard Diaries the monster movie fans want next.) Now, tell me, Hardcore Horror buffs - would that not be an acceptable October?

Milton Reduxed

Blair Witch Project, quite apart from being painfully dull, is not even a movie Horror-adjacent October: Week #1 Matinee (1993) Serial Mom (1994) Week #2 Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (1988) Dreamscape (1984) Week #3 Gremlins II (1990) Ed Wood (1994) Week #4 Of Unknown Origin (1983) Screamers (1995)

Clarence Newman

Milt! I would joust with you over Blair Witch, but it happens to be one of the very rare films where literally anything I say will be a spoiler. Therefore, I will simply remove my glove, slap you in the chops with it and walk away.

Jon Johns

Ted, no name-calling, just unmasking.

Mark White

That’s a dam good effort Clarence. Pretty much perfect actually. The only one I would change is the last one, but that’s because I’m not a big Godzilla fan. I might change it for something with a bit more horror, like “Ring” or if Cassie can’t handle it “The Ring” although that might drive Richard up the wall! If Cassie watches the American version. 😆 Or maybe “1408”

Just Plain Bob

Clarence, congratulations! With the exception of “Horror of Dracula”, “The Fly” and “Creepshow”, you’ve created the WORST Halloween lineup I could imagine. “King Kong” (2005) is NOT a monster movie. It’s serviceable, but as a sci-fi/drama. He’s a big ole Teddy Gorilla in that movie. “Blair Witch Project” only has one claim to fame and it ain’t being scary. It’s tricking people into believing it was the first found footage horror movie. In reality, that “honor” goes to “Cannibal Holocaust” (which no reasonable person would suggest to Cassie). Finally, “Carrie” has only one scene that’s scary and that’s the infamous jump scare scene. It’s a supernatural drama; exceedingly well done but not scary even by Carly’s standards. While I’m not a fan of Milton’s list either, at least it’s interesting and varied. This is what happens when you obsess to long and hard on bad cinema, Clarence. Clear the “Cannonball Run” out of your head and think straight!

Just Plain Bob

Mark! Don’t encourage him. Dammit, man, you know better!

Just Plain Bob

Clarence, just so you know, I wouldn’t criticize without offering a solution. To that end, I’ve created a short list of approximately 120 possible October reactions for Cassie. I’ll post it once I’ve done some more culling. Preview: it currently includes classics such as “Bride of Frankenstein”, “Horror of Dracula” and “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and modern films such as “Pulse” (Kairo) and “Paranormal Activity.”

Vikingbard

make sure that it's the Ultimate Edition of Batman v Superman: you will miss important details for that story as well as the set-up for the director's cut of Justice League (aka ZSJL) if it's not the Ultimate Edition

Joe J

Here are my suggestions for (6) of the watch slots. --- (3) slots for the series Midnight Mass (only 7 episodes). Great for October, Cassie will love it! --- (3) slots from three horror polls (50s-60s, 70s-80, 90s-present).

Joe J

Cinebinge is the only reactor I'm aware of showing unblurred movies on Patreon. Who knows how long that will last. Most reactors are not going to risk it.

Foggy

love it! cassie of house stark, first of her name :)

Clarence Newman

Have a heart, Bob! As a non-horror fan with stabilising wheels on my tricycle, I believe I have made a fine fist of my list. I'll take 3 hits from a hardcore jeeper-creeper like yourself and put the rest down to you being less than correct. You're lucky I didn't include Carry On Screaming. And how is Rocky Horror a horror movie? It's a Kiss concert for gender-neutrals.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - I pretty much agree with JP Bob. With the exception that if Cassie goes with the Trick or Treat formula again Shin Godzilla would make a good movie for a Treat spot. People who aren’t fans of horror shouldn’t really be trying to make a schedule for October, all they show is what they don’t know.

Mike Lemon

I doubt Krusty would come back after he went bonkers on reddit.

Clarence Newman

You may both be right. I am too mellow, level-headed and downright cuddly to be delving into the real soul-munchers. I still reckon there's 3 or 4 hits on there for you, though, so I cannot be labelled good-for-nothing.

Richard Maurer

Now watch, some horror film that’s not as “brutal” as GoT will get brought up only for us to be told “it’s too much for Cassie!” - and that horror movie will probably be Evil Dead.

Richard Maurer

…something something mashed potatoes!

Clay F

Symbols, I am not saying I agree with that YT comment but what do you not quite get -- that Cassie is the "nicest lady on YouTube" or that GoT is "the craziest most brutal show ever?" Richard, her reacting to GoT might push her boundaries to include more movies you want. She is evolving with brutality -- she has seen much brutality since the very beginning (e.g., Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers). She also evolving on supernatural. She noted the apparent supernatural in GoT E1. She had supernatural (including demon possession) last October. Helps if has an actor she likes or is smitten with. Helps if she thinks will like the characters, and/or like other aspects of the story that are not supernatural or brutality. There is a lot she likes about GoT so far (and LoTR, Band of Brothers, etc.) that is not brutality. As we've discussed, not rigid but flexible. For instance, if Evil Dead as in GoT and LotR builds an expansive mystical world (that interests her) filled w/interesting characters that she likes and a few that she likes to dislike, then Evil Dead has a better chance. If Evil Dead has a good love story (e.g., Aragorn/Arwen, Ned/Catelyn) or at least 1-2 characters she can connect with, then Evil Dead stands a better chance. If Evil Dead has leadership (for a good cause) or moving brotherhood, as she perceived in Band of Brothers, then Evil Dead stands a better chance.

Cole Jennett

Wonder Woman in between BvS and Justice League works for me

Batman

FRANKENHOOKER (1990)

Jon Johns

Okay VM, Apologies. People who hide their identity risk mistaken identity.

Clay F

BvS kill chances for Justice League? Impossible to know, but don't think Cassie is going to like BvS (2016) [RT 28%] [PR No. 701], especially based on her comments in Man of Steel outro. Therefore, she may not react to Justice League (unless wins a poll but not executive auto react), which I don' think Justice League would win a poll. We still have Superman (2025) reaction coming, which will be 6th Superman movie on the channel. I am pulling for Wonder Woman (2017) [RT 93%] [PR No. 20], which I think could win a poll. [RT 28%] [PR No. 701] = Batman v Superman (2016) [RT 93%] [PR No. 20] = Wonder Woman (2017) [RT 71%] [PR No. 887] = Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)

My_Cousin_Mose

+1 For The Blaire Witch Project. I freaking love that movie and you either love it or you loathe it. I'm also not a horror fan so maybe its a horror movie for those of us that don't really love horror films.

Clarence Newman

They don't know Cassie like we know Cassie. She's a mean little avoidist, anti-1960s with a deep prejudice against flies and orang utans. I can't say I like her.

Radomir Mikuska

Second that, very important details in ultimate edition and far superior movie

Chris Thom

Personally hoping for Joy Ride (2002), Scream 2 (1997), Blair Witch Project (1999) , Twilight Zone Movie (1983), and Hannibal (2001). And Trick r' Treat (2009) could be fun just for theming reasons. She does love a good theme.

Richard Maurer

Joe - Simone from Cinebinge literally teases that you don’t need your own copy in every video during the “come to our Patreon” segment. Maybe laws are different in Canada where they’re based but copyright laws are normally fairly standard in most countries. I hope they know what they’re doing but it seems like playing with fire to me.

Byrd N. Hand

Roy Scheider on making "Jaws": "Fun." (Even in spite of Spielberg claiming it to be the most difficult film he's ever made.) Roy Scheider on making "Jaws 2": "Not fun."

Richard Maurer

Mike Lemon finally gets 16 people to agree with him and it has to be something he’s wrong about - sad. ;-)

Byrd N. Hand

If Carly hasn't also previously seen the first "Gremlins," I'd push for a reaction to that before "Gremlins 2" (which I feel doesn't need to be restricted to October).

Richard Maurer

Cassie might watch them anyway - seems like she has caught the completionist bug recently, watching the Wahlberg Planet of the Apes even after most patrons told her not to bother And B v S will likely do fairly well on YouTube - the Snyder fans need a win after Superman 2025 didn’t tank at the box office like they hoped it would.

Richard Maurer

A LOT of the movies people keep bringing up don’t need to be watched in October as they’re not horror movies. They could be watched anytime of the year. Cassie: only watches horror movies in October. Non-horror fan Patrons: “ let’s load October up with any vaguely horror adjacent film we can think of” And they wonder why horror fans here get frustrated and resentful.

Rene G.

Creepshow and the FLy are far from worst picks.. The worst ones aren't even counted as horror.

Rene G.

Screw the RIng remake. I prefer her watching the Japanese original Ring Esp. the grudge. Or how about One Missed Call (Another japan horror)

Clarence Newman

Yes, Richard, but I still think it's a good idea if she breaks up the horror with a few cleansers rather than doing a whole month of heavy horror. Forget about the movies I've suggested (except the good ones), I think the format itself would be more conducive to Cassie taking on *real* horror movies that would actually satisfy the horror buffs. Last October was tough for her, and I think the relentlessness of it can make her pull back from the heavy stuff. Slot 1 - Game of Thrones is already locked in so it's happening Slot 2 - Horror-adjacent - something like Gremlins or Time Machine or King Kong so she still feels like she's in October but it doesn't frazzle the crap out of her. That will leave slot 3 (every third film and 4 in total) open for REAL horror movies the horror buffs will love and the entire month of Scary But Not Too Scary will achieve perfection of feng shui. There's a method to my madness, you know.

Richard Maurer

Using Cassie’s Trick (theoretically, but sometimes not, real horror films) vs Treat (horror-lite) template, I only really care about the Trick films. I’ve mostly given up on the Treat side, they can fill that with whatever vaguely horror-adjacent “stuff” they want. But can we please, this year, get actual horror films for the Trick side? Is that too much to ask? Actual horror films can do well for her on YouTube, as shown from Halloween’s past: The Shining - 434k views Alien - 487k views Aliens 552k views Halloween 308k views Get Out 284k views The Sixth Sense 469k views The Thing 323k views It chapter one 279k views If they’re going to do Halloween at the very least half should be real horror films, especially considering this is the only time of the year Cassie watches them.

Chris Thom

I think she and Carly would appreciate the continuation of the story in BVS. It actually covers quite a bit of ground.

Chris Thom

Gremlins is a quintessential Christmas movie though.

Clarence Newman

A fine argument, Richard, and I'm sure all the true horror buffs will get into their campaigns in due course. All I'm trying to do is get your bullseyes up from 2 last year to 4 in '25.

Richard Maurer

So am I, Clarence, just from a horror fans perspective.

Richard Maurer

Chris - do you really think Cassie will watch anything close to horror at Christmas? She is kind of running out of quality Christmas movies though. Maybe in a couple of years I’ll get her to watch Krampus, at least it would do well on YouTube, lol.

Rakesh

Tanked enough that it didn't beat the box office of a movie 12 years ago.

Rakesh

Weird that the RT page has the trailer for ultimate and no score for ultimate. Yes she'll watch ZSJL yes she' ll watch wonder woman, then like dominos aquaman and suicide squad. Maybe also Shazam. Snyders magnum opus is the trilogy. I hope she ends up Watchman as well. They will satisfy a lot of people and the viewing figures will do gangbusters. And she's watching the ultimate edition I think since the overwhelming response has been that is the better version and with that shell have an overall better experience. Obviously no spoilers but she'll want to finish the trilogy.

Cole Jennett

Yeah, I think you may be projecting again Clay😂

Cole Jennett

Second that? If you read through all the comments you may be the 102nd!😂

Richard Maurer

As far as DCEU films go I’d be fine if she watched Wonder Woman, Shazam and Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, besides Justice League which she’s probably going to watch anyway. Watchmen isn’t DCEU but is certainly worth watching.

Chris Thom

She's been itching to watch Black Christmas. Both versions. She said that to a moose in Canada, I believe.

Rene G.

week 5: Terrifier Trilogy

Rene G.

Week 6: Pet Sematary 1989..

Clarence Newman

Ooh, Pet Semetary is chilly. Apparently the only book Stephen King's wife, Tabitha (who always proof-reads his novels), handed back to him afterwards and said, "I think you should burn that."

Richard Maurer

Chris - did the moose bite her? And was she carving her initials into it with a interspace toothbrush?

Joe J

Clay can't let this go guys....😂

Richard Maurer

Clarence - one of my favorites of King’s works, book or (89) movie. But I don’t see that one getting past Cassie’s “ censors”.

Joe J

Haha, my comment disappeared with the 21 replay rule. Just give me "Midnight Mass" (just 7 epis), and (3) horror polls (50s-60s, 70s-80s, 90s-present). With (4) GoT posts and PAF (1), we only have (7) slots remaining for scary movies.

Richard Maurer

Milton - It’s still there on some devices. My phone, for instance.

Joe J

Evil Dead is.... yucky. 😳

Joe J

For October, my suggestion is (4) horror polls by eras. Mixing old and new movies in single polls is a waste of time, as only the newer films will ever win. I'm not really a fan of the TRICK & TREAT polls. - 30s-40s - 50s-60s - 70s-80s - 90s-present Will Cassie reduce GoT postings in October? If not, we don't have many open slots for horror films.

Clay F

BvS will be unlike any Superman she’s seen and she won’t like it. Has much more of the same stuff she said she didn’t like about Man of Steel. Plus, after all, BvS inspired by Frank Miller comics — she didn’t like Sin City — she doesn’t want dark, somber. She said she missed nerdy, goofy Superman/Clark Kent. Plus, she and Carly not a fan of the effects driven action. She said she could have done with one less fight scene in Man of Steel (what she going to think about BvS in that respect?). Carly said that went on too long for her in Man of Steel. BvS will cure her of any completion tendency with Superman (except 2025). As for winning a poll, Zach Snyder only wanted by a tiny vocal minority of patrons. If Popcorn Requests is any indication, Zack Snyder doesn’t stand a chance in a poll: BvS No. 701 Justice Leage No. 887 Compare that to Wonder Woman (2017) at No. 20. Lastly, BvS will not get the YT views that Man of Steel did — another strike against BvS and going to Justice League.

Joe J

I want as many horror films in October as possible, we only get this one month for horror.

Richard Maurer

Clay - She didn’t love Sin City, didn’t hate it either, not Howard the Duck level hate anyway. But as you point out, Sin City was written Frank Miller. But so was 300, and it was directed by Zack Snyder. And she liked 300.

Clarence Newman

I'm always up for polls, Joe, but as for reducing GoT postings in October, I'm afraid she cannot. Unless!!!! In October, she reduces GoT postings from once every 3 to once every four, but we get 3 episodes every posting. Everybody wins. Including Cassie.

Clarence Newman

I agree. A big building on fire, for example. That's pretty horrific.

Clay F

Richard -- good point about her liking 300.

Mark White

“Skyscraper” 2018 with The Rock right?! 😉

Clarence Newman

Skyscraper? I prefer the 1996 original with Anna Nicole Smith. Pure Shakespeare.

Clay F

There is horror in GoT. GoT is bringing more horror to the channel. I didn't think about that = less horror movies in October because of GoT. That is good for me. Another advantage of GoT. I thought last October was horrible -- not a fan, not entertained. I liked Cloverfield (2008). The Haunting of Hill House was awesome. I thought The Village (2004) ok. That's it. I would have much rather had GoT than Zombieland: Double Tap (2019), It Chapter 2 (2019) (her reaction ok), A Cabin in the Woods (movie barely ok), What Lies Beneath (2000), The Frighteners, Saw (2004) (not entertaining to me), Constantine (2005) (way too much cheese), Underworld (2003) (Kate Beckinsale being nice to look at couldn't salvage the movie for me), and Blade (1998) (Snipes had presence but the movie repetitive -- didn't like at all). For my tastes, for October, only a week dedicated to horror instead of the entire month. A 'scary, but not too scary' week in October, with the remainder of October being normal.

Clay F

A disadvantage of a series is lose 1 movie per week, which means less likely for me to get a favorite movie reacted to. Yet, the advantage outweighs the disadvantage for me for 3 reasons: A. I like the nature of a reaction to a series. Get 1 series reaction and 2 movie reactions per week. Diversify. B. I am very flexible on series (unlike movies) if she sticks with iconic series, which seems likely if she wants attention. C. I much more likely to like iconic series than many of the movies she reacts to.

Richard Maurer

That works for you. Personally, I think taking a break from series, especially long ones, after GoT would be a good idea

Richard Maurer

One week would be fine - IF Cassie promises to have a Horror movie poll at least once a quarter. And I mean actual horror movies, no action, comedies, kid’s movies, etc.. Maybe one of those polls could be monster movies, but that’s it. Otherwise, I have a alternative proposal - take a break from GoT for October. Use that slot for monster movies. I’m already sick of hearing about GoT and we’re only 6 episodes in. Does it have to be the thing to wreak Halloween month this year?

Richard Maurer

People need to stop claiming Superman 2025 tanked. It’s becoming a joke at this point because it clearly didn’t tank. And comparing box office numbers of any movie today to a movie from 12 years ago doesn’t work because streaming services hadn’t completely taken over then like they are now.

Just Plain Bob

Horror movies comprised 10% of all movies released last year. One month isn’t too much to ask for. Funny to hear anyone that supports 1/3 of all reaction slots going to a single series for the next nine months turn around and complain about horror getting 1/12 of the reaction slots for the year. That said, I’d support just one week in October dedicated to horror movies IF: 1. Those three movies were ACTUAL horror movies 2. Other horror movies were sprinkled throughout the year; roughly two slots a month, to give horror movie buffs the same opportunity EVERY OTHER genre fan already has These things will never happen, though. And the usual suspects will chirp this coming October about how cruel their fellow patrons are for suggesting or voting for horror movies. They’ll question our psychological fitness and outright state that we’re sadists out to harm Cassie. And the silence from the mods will be deafening. No rebukes, no reminder that people are expected to maintain a certain level of decorum - none of that.

Rene G.

No I'd rather have horror movies the WHOLE month.. Fuck 2 horror stuff only.. and I want her to go the deep end of it... Better yet, she just have to follow KatWatchesHorror for a whole year cos 99% of her reactions are all horror stuff. I'm more entertained from her than this one.

Rene G.

Here are my actual horror movies for her to watch: Hostel, Human Centipede, Serbian FIlm, Martyrs from 2008 in France, The Substance, The Fly, Together 2025 with Dave franco

Rene G.

and yes I'm a proud masochist sadist. #NotSorry. My other actual horror stuff: THe Descent, I Spit on your Grave 1978, The Hills have eyes 2006, Videodrome, THe Brood, The OMen,

Clarence Newman

Rene. You're not joking about being a hardcore sado-masochist, are you, so your wins here will probably be few and far between. I'm curious, though - has KatWatchesHorror reacted to Human Centipede or A Serbian Film? Has anybody? I don't even need to be a White Knight to say that those two are grrooooosssss. As for people calling the Horror fans "sadists" and "evil" when October comes around, they may have a tiny point there. Here's a comment that was on one of the poll threads: "You monsters!! Why choose Dragon Tattoo?!?!" Monsters? Maybe Cassie should watch The Outsiders in October. Kind of appropriate for our beleaguered Horror buffs.

Clarence Newman

Pretty solid, I think. I'm not even surprised about Mad Max 3. I know some people like it, but I never did. The fact that Jaws 2 is under 100k is entirely Carly's fault and she should be made to watch The Fly with Cassie as punishment.

Richard Maurer

Rene - Everything in your third comment is a possibility - except I Spit on your Grave (78), I don’t see that happening.

Rene G.

Or how about Rob Zombie's Halloween remake?? Let alone his classic ones: House of 1000 corpses, Devil's Rejects.

Richard Maurer

Ben said he’s fine with people asking Cassie to watch horror movies. In light of that I’m requesting The Evil Dead (81) this year. (Spoiler Alert?) And I don’t want to hear about the SA scene in Evil Dead - the one in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is much worse.

Rene G.

Groovy... Some say Evil Dead 2 is blatant remake/reboot of the 1st one.. So it works both ways

Richard Maurer

Clarence - since you asked, a lot of people have done Human Centipede reactions. Even some well-known ones like Reel Rejects and Just Trust Ash have done it. Kat has not - yet. HC isn’t nearly as traumatizing as its reputation -Terrifier is arguably worse. No A Serbian Film reactions (unsurprisingly) just discussions on horror channels.

Richard Maurer

Rene - I don’t see any of Rob Zombie’s movies getting past the “censors” here. Maybe Halloween, but I doubt it.

Joe J

I'm not watching the GoT reactions myself, nor would I watch any other long series. Too much time investment for something I've already seen. I will always prefer movies.

Byrd N. Hand

Yes, Richard, there aren't many holiday-related movies for her to react to at this point. Apart from a couple more "Christmas Carol" adapatations (namely the '51 version with Alastair Sim and perhaps the '84 TV movie with George C. Scott), I can't really think of any more significant titles she hasnt seen yet that aren't from the '40s ("Going My Way," "Holiday Inn," "Meet Me in St. Louis," "The Bells of St. Mary's," "Christmas in Connecticut," "The Bishop's Wife," etc.)... and we all know how well those do in YT. 🤔

Joe J

With GoT taking (4) watch slots, Cassie will have to make a decision on that. We will probably just get fewer "horror" movies this year. My expectations are low.

Joe J

Lower views for most movies are just the new normal now. I think 50k or so in the first week shows decent engagement for the most part. GoT will do well until the novelty wears off, views should be quite good for S1, then start to trail off some.

fastecp1

I agree, either way, she should watch The Fly.

Just Plain Bob

Clarence, the abuse heaped on those that voted for a reaction to “American Psycho” reached an all time high. I didn’t vote for it because I don’t think it’s a particularly good film (Cassie’s reaction was excellent, though). But I made the mistake of defending those that did. For that error, I was also branded a sadist and monster (or, at least, sadist and monster-adjacent). The attacks reached a real nadir, though, when people went after kaiielle for saying she enjoyed seeing Cassie’s reactions to movies outside her comfort zone. They swarmed her like piranha. Told that she was a moderator for the channel and Cassie’s friend, they didn’t care. It would really be nice to see some of that cleaned up when it inevitably happens again in a few weeks. I don’t mind that some people hate horror movies. That’s their prerogative. I hate rom-coms, that’s my prerogative. But that doesn’t excuse personal attacks. PS: I know you’ve been waiting with bated breath for my October suggestions, Clarence. Never fear, my list is complete. It’s a little over 100 films. Best I could narrow it down. I’ll post it when we’re nearer spooky season.

Richard Maurer

JP Bob - Agree 100%. Have to say though that I saw a post (and comments under it) where the comments accused other patrons of “whining” was taken down. So maybe this year people won’t be allowed to say whatever they want to horror fans

Just Plain Bob

Richard, I’d be very interested to get your feedback when I post my list of horror movies. It’s a very long post but if you’d let me know what you think, I’d appreciate it. Particularly as regards all the movies I didn’t include that you think I should have (preview: despite recent reassurances, I excluded The Exorcist and Evil Dead).

Clay F

To me, the surprise of August is Man of Steel (2013). As I've said, I don't think BvS (less popular) will do as well on views. Might help if she reacts to the BvS Ultimate Edition (+31 min) (director's cut)? Game of Thrones (S1 E1-E2) dwarfs the others listed in number of comments (can be considered an indicator of engagement), with Man of Steel and Wargames the only two in the ballpark. Number of Comments 2,979 (4 days) = Game of Thrones (S1 E1-E2) 1,479 = Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993) 756 = Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985) 2,306 (2 weeks) = Wargames (1983) 2,298 (2 weeks) = Man of Steel (2013) 871 = Bringing Up Baby (1938) 973 = Cliffhanger (1993) 987 = Jaws 2 (1978) 1,769 = Enter the Dragon (1973) Aparently no income but feeds the algorithm I think. Surely is some form of indicator of engagement.

Rakesh

Richard, it's easily checkable online.The 2025 Superman movie, directed by James Gunn, has surpassed Man of Steel (2013) at the domestic box office, earning about $316 million domestically compared to Man of Steel’s $291 million (unadjusted for inflation). However, when accounting for inflation since 2013, Man of Steel's domestic total would be roughly $400 million today, meaning Superman 2025 has not yet fully caught up in inflation-adjusted terms. Internationally, Man of Steel significantly outperformed Superman 2025, earning $379 million overseas versus Superman’s $235 million so far. This makes it unlikely that Superman 2025 will surpass Man of Steel’s worldwide total of $670 million, as Superman currently stands around $506 million global box office. Key points: Superman 2025 is the highest grossing solo Superman film domestically in nominal terms but has not passed Man of Steel fully when inflation is considered. Man of Steel’s international box office was much stronger, contributing 56% of its $670 million worldwide total, compared to 42% for Superman 2025. Ticket sales also indicate Man of Steel sold more tickets domestically (36 million) compared to Superman 2025, which is about 10 million behind. Superman 2025 holds very positive critical and audience reception scores compared to Man of Steel (83% critics / 91% audience vs. 57% / 75% respectively). Despite not beating Man of Steel worldwide, Superman 2025 is the biggest comic book box office movie of 2025 so far and a fresh start for the DC film universe. In summary, while Superman (2025) has beaten Man of Steel’s raw domestic box office and is the top solo Superman film in the U.S., it remains behind Man of Steel when adjusting for inflation and worldwide totals, mainly due to weaker international performance. The debate continues as Superman 2025’s theatrical run progresses, but Man of Steel retains the edge globally.

Clay F

Thanks Rakesh. Yeah, they both in the same ballpark ($670 and $506 million per your numbers -- I have $565 million globally for Superman 2025), and Superman 2025 still playing in theaters. Playing at the AMC theater I go to 5 minutes from house. Superman 2025 clearly did not tank. Not only critical acclaim and receptive audience, but is performing acceptable at the box office and even considered a box office success. Superman (2025) has been a box office success, having surpassed its initial financial targets and grossing over $565 million globally against a $225 million budget.

Clay F

I did not like A.I., and thinking to skip Human Comedy and BvS this week. I would have nothing this week were it not for GoT. I think she should go straight into another iconic series (e.g., Sopranos, The Wire, etc.) immediately after completing GoT. Dedicate 1 of the 3 reaction slots to a series, with no break. Can be long series (25+ episodes), medium series (13-24 episodes), or short series (12 episodes or less). Keep the 2 movie reaction slots, no break, e.g., not 2 series/1 movie per week. Joe, you only watch reactions to movies in which you haven't previously seen the movie? By the way, watching reactions to 50 movies in which you've already seen the movie is much time investment.

Rakesh

There is a simple way to increase views and viewers. Release movies that are of interest to groups and fandoms ahead of dates that they will be looking for videos. This worked for t for man of steel. It's why Cassie should watch the rest of the dceu whiilst it's at the forefront of people minds. It caters to the DC fans which there obviously a lot of. These video will appeal to those who many not necessarily have subscribers otherwise and up subscribers figure and thus exposure to other videos. The same boost happend with RRR and Passion of the Christ. RRR the video went to Indian subscribers who were exposed to the video who may not have seen the rest of her stuff because of the algo. Match upcoming dates in the calender with movies that people may want to see and you'll get a video boost and subscriber boost. Watch a bunch of popular Chinese movies before Chinese new year and see. Whats uocoming patriot day, Hispanic heritage month, Columbus day, Diwali, veterans day, Thanksgiving, pearl harbour remembrance day, Christmas. I believe she should rewatch home alone before Christmas and rewatch the whole MCU before the doom saga. Mods make notes , I said it first. Money on the bank yo.

Just Plain Bob

Unclear. It obviously deals with Satanism, but no one is possessed (to my recollection).

Mike Lemon

"I would have nothing this week" I've had 12.5 watches *this year*, now 1/3 of all "watch slots" are pissed away for another year with yet another long-ass series/franchise.

Mike Lemon

@Bob- "the same opportunity EVERY OTHER genre fan already has" *cough* Animation *cough*

Clay F

To me, the bottom line is I am much more likely to like an iconic series than the typical movie she reacts to. I can't emphasize that enough. Plus, the 'nature' of reacting to a series is entertaining to me: True Detective S1 reaction intro “I’ve done obviously not as many shows [series] as I have done movies but some of my favorites have been the shows because I just feel like you get to know characters and look forward to characters. Seeing them in weekly episodes." GoT E1 Intro “The thing that I love about shows that I found in Star Trek, and Chernobyl, Band of Brothers, these shows I’ve watched, Firefly, you really go along with these characters. Get to go with them week-to-week and their arcs and their stories, and they become your friends. So I am excited for that aspect and to be starting a series again.”

Just Plain Bob

Yep. You’re right, I don’t disagree at all.

Clay F

Mike -- I guess you like supporting her as a patron but you don't like or watch most of her 2025 reactions. Her number of paid Patreon members has increased this month from about 2970 to 3,457 since start of GoT, and still showing an upward trend. July 2 – 2,977 July 10 – 2,993 July 17 – 2,979 July 23 – 2,948 Aug 4 – 2,964 *Aug 4 GoT in Patreon Upcoming post + Instagram announcement Aug 7 – 2,993 Aug 10 – 3,017 *Aug 11 – Patreon GoT E1/E2 Full Reaction Aug 13 – 3,089 Aug 17 – 3,194 *Aug 17 – GoT E1/E2 YT premier Aug 18 – 3,375 Aug 21 – 3,457

Richard Maurer

I was told by Coleton that The Omen is NOT on the Nope list - also, I’ve been told there is no nope list. Just a few movies - Exorcist, Hereditary, and Human Centipede - that Cassie has said she won’t watch. To me, that means The Evil Dead is still on the table.

Mike Lemon

12.5 out of, what, 100? So, no.

Richard Maurer

JP Bob - I was planning out checking out your list and giving my feedback, and I hope you do the same for me as well, since I’ve been planning to do one too - just less extensive then yours.

Mike Lemon

I freaking hate when people change their comment without noting it- "Her number of paid Patreon members..." I don't care.

Clay F

I care. As a patron of hers, I like to see that GoT is apparently helping to rejuvenate the channel. I think other iconic long series could do the same. Jen Murray reacting to TNG and Seinfeld saved her channel, doubling the number of her paid Patreon members.

Mike Lemon

"Jen Murray reacting to..." I don't care about that either. "...helping to rejuvenate the channel." And I would like to see her out on the grind, instead of coasting. When was the last collab? When was the last time she went on a someone else's podcast? When did she reach out to not-"reaction" spheres to get her name out there? Hell, when was the last time she uploaded to Rumble outside of the two marathons?

Joe J

Clay - I watch YT edits, I've very rarely watched any full-reactions. Again, just too much time for mostly movies I've seen. Cassie's edits have always been fine for me, however, the recent trend with these very abbreviated reaction times has put a damper on my enjoyment of the edits.

Darren Harrison

Great news. It's fantastic to see Cassie having so much fun with Game of Thrones. I knew it would drive thousands to the site. I love the show, but a lot of my friends were passionate about it, obsessed even

Mike -- I am no marketing expert, but like the idea of her reaching out to not "reaction" spheres to inform people of movie reactions and get her name out there. Most people don't even know what a movie reaction is. Again, I am not a marketer, but that seems like a large untapped audience. I think Rumble is ok to upload but an insignificant sideshow. Joe -- I never watch her YT edits. I click like but don't watch them. I haven't watched a YT edit of hers in over 2 years. I only watch full reactions. Miss too much (especialy nuances) with YT edits and thus YT edits are a waste of time to me.

Richard Maurer

Clay - you’re obviously invested in both GoT and other long series - to the point where you make assumptions before there’s enough evidence to back them up. GoT has just started. There’s no guarantee the numbers will stay high, in fact judging by what I’ve seen from other reactors who watched GoT the numbers should decline, particularly after the first season. And just because a few hundred extra people may have joined for GoT (no proof all or even many of them joined expressly for GoT) doesn’t mean they ‘ll stay on after GoT is over - or even till the finale. Also there’s no evidence that, unlike you, they’re interested in other long series. For instance I’ve been watching a lot more of Ashleigh Burton’s YouTube channel since she started watching Buffy, but when that’s done, so am I. I’ll go back to watching the occasional movie reaction of hers. Her watching GoT or The Sopranos, or whatever means nothing to me. Look, everyone here is trying to get their favorites watched, it’s not a bad thing. But your favorites (or anyone’s favorites) aren’t always going to be what’s best for the channel.

Darren Harrison

Not Patreon....their own site - https://cinebingers.ca/ Personally, I really enjoy Simone and George's reactions. Cassie is also friendly with them and they hosted a reaction together (with full movie on Cinebinge and blurred on PiB)

Richard Maurer

Rakesh - So, you’re just going to ignore the whole streaming factor? Streaming is the reason you can’t compare any pre-streaming era movie’s box office to a streaming era movie’s box office - the current prevalence of streaming, especially since movies have commonly become available within a month of their theatrical release cannot be ignored. It completely changes what their box office number would be.

Mike Lemon

"Rumble is ok to upload but an insignificant sideshow." She was getting 50,000-ish views for the movies that caught for a few extra minutes of work, and "she" couldn't be bothered. "like the idea of her reaching out to not "reaction" spheres" I was thinking about this on my drive back from Harbor Freight. How about a "Your Favorite Movie" every month where she watches somebody outside the reaction sphere's favorite movie (that she hasn't seen) with them? Reach out to Christian Toto, SmugAlana, Crendor, Christopher McQuarrie, X-Ray Girl, etc. Hit a lot of different audiences.

Clay F

Richard -- No one expects a long series or the typical movie to get tons of YT views. Maybe 2 years ago, but not now. Plus, intent was for GoT to rejuvenate the channel, which appears to be doing (people have been convicted of murder based on less circumstantial evidence). The number of paid Patreon members had been in general steady decline for 7 months since the beginning of year. Then, in a matter of days in August gained +500 paid Patreon members (coinciding w/GoT start), recovering equivalent number lost the 7 months since beginning of year. Jen Murray doubled her paid Patreon members by reacting to TNG, saving her channel. Even though TNG winding down, TNG fans remain, influencing channel. Jen started DS9, will start Voyager. The patron poll choice "I'm not interested in TV shows at all, only movies" got merely 2%. Another intent was Cassie always wanted to watch GoT, and she liking it, and pushing her boundaries. Inspires good reactions. She is creative force of channel and should react to series (no break) if she wants. Mike -- good reply, though I might skip a couple of those people you list. I think she should go after liberal college-educated audience having $. If she could somehow connect, for example, with audience of late night shows (The Tonight Show, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Show), that would be great.

Mike Lemon

Well... if you want her to go broke, sure. Not only would she likely lose the majority of her current audience, when those nutters eventually read reddit, they will abandon her. They might like Carly though if they figure out her name.) Also, I included a mix for a reason (McQuarrie- Hollywood, so???, Toto- right leaning?, Crendor- Left leaning to sane left, X-Ray- right lean, SmugAlana- center right. I intentionally didn't include people like Kirsche, Black Conservative Perspective, or Nerdrotic because they are overtly political, **because this is supposed to be about movies. Rule 3 explicitly says no politics, but for some reason you continue to talk politics, for years now, with no mod ever saying a word.**

K!ll Molli

Have the barbies seen Captain America Brave New World yet?

Clay F

You did include a mix. I would love to see Cassie (no matter how unlikely) as a guest on a high-profile late night show, explaining what are movie reactions and what movie reactors do. I wasn't being political when I said "liberal college-educated having $" but just identifying an audience that could be lucrative and maybe receptive, and support as patrons in a traditional sense.

Chris Thom

Yup. It's quite overtly aggressive in it's passive aggressiveness. lol

Rakesh

Richard, How many other factors would you like to bring in? Piracy, Inflation, COVID, comic book fatigue? They're trumpting they beat marvel this year! Dcs flagship hero beat the first family and the TV thunderbolts, whoop dee doo! I mean the excuses are endless. This summer jurassic park seemed to do better for a aging franchise with multiple reboots. What's that excuse? Warner rebooted the snyderverse because they thought they could do better and they didn't. No one and I mean no one is excited about clayface or Waller, and I can't see Supergirl outdoing superman, or reaching wonder woman figures. Only saving grace might be lanterns. Creature commandos didn't even chart.

Rakesh

I agree to watching TV series. Movie watching around is going down, quality in TV series are going up. More importantly with it it bring in a fan base that continually brings in views like ever green content. There are far more star trek or got viewers who want to rewatch an episode then people who want watch a reaction like cliffhanger. This channel is evolving, like Cassie's tastes are evolving. Like any journey one changes. I'm not watching the got review myself but when I do have the time I'll come back here. Likewise I've caught many a time I get caught up in a star trek rewatch blackhole after watching one of her reactions and finding I've rewatched a bunch of them. It's the 30 year old series! And it's fans will always come for a watch. Ultimately it for the health and the future of the channel and it juggles deftly the needs and wants of the audience. There is something for everyone.

Clarence Newman

I mostly watch the YT edits and, up until recently, I'd pretty much watched them all. That's tapered off a bit recently because a lot of the films have just not been my thing, but it's swings and roundabouts for me. Good stuff will always come around. As some of you here know very well, I don't give a flying coitus about other reactors. I'm one of the lucky ones with Game of Thrones, because I think the show's great and I'm invested in the reactions. The same applied to Star Trek TNG. However, I'm also lucky that I wasn't around when Cassie was doing her Star Wars binge (movies AND tv series), or the MCU stuff like Loki and Winter Falcon. Star Wars and MCU bore me to tears, so I would've been in exactly the same spot Richard and Mike are now if I'd been around. I'm not blind to the fact that quite a few patrons are unhappy with GoT taking up one slot a week. I wish everyone could be as invested in it as I am because it does the exact opposite it's doing for you guys - guaranteeing a great reaction once a week regardless of what else is on. I'm kind of with Clay on the recent movie offerings. To Catch a Thief should be fun (I'm still waiting for the YT edit), but other than that, I've had slim pickings since Cliffhanger. Which brings me to my only other concern with the channel and that's the ever more truncated YT edits. It ruined Cliffhanger for me (I have the full reaction, though, so not a personal disaster), and I do feel that the channel will suffer if it continues. The Ep 1 & 2 Game of Thrones edit was ludicrously short. One thing we can all agree on is that Cassie does her best to please as many people as she can, but she's literally never going to please us all. A tv series will always divide opinion, and because there are subscriptions involved, it's going to be annoying as hell for those on the wrong side of it. As for the idea of Cassie going on The Tonight Show or something mainstream like that, I am so not a fan. A big part of Cassie's charm is that she's quite normal, and sees the world like a normal person. It's what infuses her reactions with all those great remarks, observations and physical gymnastics. God knows what would happen to her if she got thrown into that particular goldfish bowl. It's just my opinion and I might be wrong (it's happened once before), but I get the feeling Cassie is happy with being well-known, but would struggle with being full-on famous. Unfortunately, she has the charm, the looks and the general appeal to achieve that if she ever sat down next to Jimmy Fallon - especially if she took Carly along with her. Let her remain within a very flexible bubble, I say (and by flexible I mean one that allows, and encourages, her to go outside her lane on a regular basis - especially in October). The last thing we want is for this "cosy corner of the internet" to throw on a leather jacket and jump the shark.

Clarence Newman

JP Bob. I would never call a horror fan sadistic or abusive for suggesting a great horror movie, although I would not want to turn my back on one who recommends A Serbian Film or Human Centipede. There are still limits. I am interested to see your list (although, because I'm not a horror fan, I find it hard to believe there are a hundred good ones), though I do have to call you out for your gross hypocrisy. I believe there has been many a time when you have monstrously harangued me for suggesting Cannonball Run! My pain too has been ignored by the mods.

Clarence Newman

And even Cassie has said the Omen is a nope film. It's not exactly possession, but it does depict a child who may or may not be the Devil himself.

Richard Maurer

Any factor that affects the box office, to answer your question - you can’t just ignore things because they affect your narrative. Especially something major like streaming. Streaming is literally the reason theaters are in trouble now. Pretending like streaming isn’t a major factor in box office declines is just denial of reality.

Clay F

There is such an untapped audience out there who don't know what movie reactions are. Educated people in their 30s, 40s, 50s who have $ to spend. Cassie has rubbed shoulders with a couple of stars. She would do great on The Tonight Show. She is smart with quick mind, and I think been a performer most of her life.

Richard Maurer

Well said Clarence (yeah I complimented you, don’t let it go to your head). The YouTube edits: I think they may be more chopped up due to all the copyright claims. They may be trying to get ahead of that to keep the videos from being taken down. I can’t imagine how frustrating, as well as time-consuming and costly it is to edit a video, only to have it taken down over some minor complaint. So I try be understanding with the reactors (PiB isn’t the only one cutting their reactions down more) and blame the real culprits - the greedy studios.

Clarence Newman

Tell you what might be good for Cassie to do - Dancing With The Stars. We’ve had a couple of YouTubers on Strictly over here, so why not Cassie?

Richard Maurer

Clarence - a few thoughts A person recommending Human Centipede, or even A Serbian Film, isn’t sadistic. They’re either delusional or more likely, trolling. Of course there are hundreds of good horror films. Among the literal tens of thousands of horror films that exist. Why so many bad, or average, ones you might ask? Two reasons - horror films are relatively cheap to make, and they tend to turn a profit. So every would-be filmmaker tries to make one because they’re easier to get investors for and if they make money they can get a foot in the door in the movie business. Which means for every John Carpenter or George Romero, who are both talented and love the horror genre, you have hundreds of delusional hacks who think they’re going to be the next Coppola, only to end up adding another bad horror film to the trash heap. Edit: I used Francis Ford Coppola as a example because he got his start in the movie business making a horror film for Roger Corman.

Richard Maurer

Also if there are any actual nope films - could someone make the FAQ post useful again and publish them. It’s ridiculous that we have to play this game where people try to remember who said what about which movie.

Richard Maurer

As much as l would be amused to see Cassie on Dancing with the Stars - that show is beneath her.

Clarence Newman

So what you're saying is, you want The Fog (1980) for Halloween.

Mike Lemon

"only to have it taken down over some minor complaint." If only there was a website that hosted videos and not as "take down then ask questions" happy that could be used as a backup... "the real culprits - the greedy studios." From what I hear, a lot of times it isn't the studios but other rights holders. I think George's (Cinebinge) First Blood rant was about some foreign distributor claiming the video, but it's been a long time since I watched it.

Richard Maurer

I wouldn’t mind if Cassie branched out more as far reaction videos go, maybe do some short reactions to music videos or, hear me out animal YouTuber’s videos. You might think there can’t be many people watching people keep exotic animals, but you would be wrong. Some of the ones I watch have 1,2, or even over 3 MILLION subscribers. People like to watch people keep animals as pets, because if they’re like me, they live vicariously through them as they don’t have the money or the space to keep all these animals. There’s even one based in Provo, Utah - Clint’s Reptiles who also teaches science in college. He “only” has 835k subscribers on YouTube. Might seem like a stretch but not as big of a stretch as Cassie getting on talk shows or other tv shows. Edit: the fact that Cassie seems to know next to nothing about animals (she’s from Canada and didn’t know a wolverine is a real animal) could help - similar to blind reactions to a movie.

Richard Maurer

Among many other movies. yes. But if I had my choice of John Carpenter movies that Cassie hasn’t watched I’d go with Vampires (98) - underrated Carpenter movie.

Clarence Newman

All ideas are good ideas because they provide options. But I don't think Cassie's even close to moving away from movies and tv shows just yet.

Clarence Newman

Richard. You might want to take a look at Just Plain Bob's post on the latest Game of Thrones reaction. Discussions about the FAQ thread replacement.

Richard Maurer

I like Cinebinge too, more than I really should considering how poorly I was treated as a patron there. But it’s doesn’t matter if they’re hosting the movies on their own sight, they’re still flirting with copyright infringement. You’re not allowed to host for-profit movie viewings without giving the copyright owner a cut. Not sure how they’re getting around this, unless they’re just going under the radar, which means it could catch up with them eventually.

Byrd N. Hand

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is also overdue. Ditto Romero's "Living Dead" movies (the first 2, at least). Maybe also "Suspiria"? Wouldn't mind finally seeing someone react to "Don't Look Now" and/or "Magic" as well. 🤞

Clarence Newman

"Magic" being the Anthony Hopkins one, right? That be spooky, and will probably give Cassie flashbacks to the Poltergeist bedroom scenes.

Joe J

Short edits and long edits are simply a creator choice. Both will clear copyright and stay on YT. Many movie reaction channels have long YT edits (The Media Knights, CinePals, Reel Rejects). The trend in the last few years is to do longer edits. Bridge of Spies has a 2:29 run-time, but Cassie's actual YT edit reaction time was under 34 minutes...yikes! As for TV shows, I feel like Cassie has to have a strong personal interest to react to a longer running show. She has that with Got and with TNG.

Brec Evans-Orrell

Had it been discussed what version of Batman vs Superman they’ll be watching?

Byrd N. Hand

Cassie may finally settle once and for all which is scarier: clowns or ventriloquist dummies?

Rakesh

That's hilarious. If a movie had legs at the cinema it would still be there. WB deliberately put it out on streaming setting a precedent of one month after cinema release when the usual period is 3 months. At a ridiculous price of 30 dollars for rental. No one's forcing them to do that. Gunn said it's because peacemaker. The series that hasn't even charted on any streaming chart. That's the real denial of reality.

Rakesh

We pray to the DC gods that it's the Ultimate ( aka Extended) edition.

Brec Evans-Orrell

Right!? I feel like Ben should be CC’d on this. But he may have already thought about that.

Rakesh

The Blob and The Fly (80s remakes) The Mist she'll think 99% was great and will hate the 1% we all know why that is no spoilers. The Cube, 30 Days of Night, Dawn of the Dead, since we all love Zack Snyder. No duds. All great movies IMHO and should get decent viewing numbers for October. Horror adjacent Angel Heart, Village of the Dammed, Dark Man.. but really they could be watched anytime. Oh I forgot about Hellraiser as well. Late Night with the Devil was the best movie I watched last year. But I think that would have to go through mods to check it didn't have one of Cassies red flags. But it was an excellent movie and is worth watching.

Byrd N. Hand

Personally, 25-45 minutes is ideal for YT edits for me. I only have so many damn hours in the day. 🤷‍♂️

Clarence Newman

Have you seen Meander, Rakesh? A French movie I think is a better version of The Cube.

Richard Maurer

Byrd - Agree. I see that a reaction video is over an hour, I start having second thoughts on watching. If I wanted to see that much of a reaction I’d join their Patreon and watch the whole movie.

Clay F

She has acknowledged that The Wire is considered one of the best series of all time. She has apparently watched some of Breaking Bad pre-channel and didn’t like it. But I wonder what she would have thought if she had waited till now to watch BB (though she doesn’t like seeing drugs — seeing drugs makes her uncomfortable and makes her legs numb). Sopranos is such stellar TV and very character driven — I think she would become invested— especially now after she has evolved. Richard — what is your guess about her liking Buffy (if she hasn’t already seen some)? There are so many high rated series for her to choose, e.g., I think she become captivated with The Vikings. I think Mad Men is right up her alley for a character-driven historical series There may be a newer series, she would choose. LM Reactions I watch reacted to The Vikings and so many other series. Recently completed Sopranos and now reacting to Mad Men (which they say they want to cry b/c of how good Mad Men is). Next, they going to Andor.

Richard Maurer

So you are going to ignore streaming. That’s fine, but it’s not a serious discussion then.

Richard Maurer

The original ‘78 Dawn of the Dead is better than the remake - imo.

Clay F

As for young people, even short YT edits are too long. They want reels (e.g., TikTok) that have become massively popular. A 25 minute video seems like an eternity to them. That may be part of the decline in views in the reactorverse (plus no more pandemic).

Clay F

There were a few (not a ton) of YT comments requesting that her GoT edited reactions be longer than that for E1-E2. But part of it may be b/c of what they are accustomed to. I thought the GoT YT edit for E1/E2 was fine -- but moot for me b/c I watch full reactions.

Richard Maurer

Clay - I believe she would really enjoy watching Buffy a lot. Similar to Firefly (which she loved) in tone, several people worked creatively on both productions. High school drama, which Cassie loves, but better writing and acting than normal for that type of show. The horror element, which normally would be a downside, is rarely that scary - I think even Carly could handle it (maybe). In fact I made a briefer version of this comment in the past and got a like from Cassie, so it’s not outside the realm of possibility. Now for the question you didn’t ask - would I want her to do this series next? Of course, BUT, given the choice between her watching it immediately following GoT or waiting at least a couple of months? I go with waiting a couple of months. A break between series, especially long ones, would be good for everyone involved.

Clarence Newman

First of all, I'm calling bullshit on Richard. In all your decades here, you've never got no like from Cassie! If one appeared on your post, it's clearly because she aimed for mine and hit yours by mistake. As for Buffy, I was forced to watch that a few years ago by my wifey, and I surprisingly enjoyed it for the most part. Good characters, decent storylines and the occasional episode of all-time classic tv. If Cassie doesn't watch the entire series, I really hope she watches "Hush" sometime. That one is WELL scary! My only other criticism of Buffy would be the cataclysmic decision to show Sarah Michelle Gellar running. It truly makes Steven Seagal's run look manly.

Mike Redford

I just need invasion of the body snatchers (1978) and THEY LIVE. That'd make my october

Richard Maurer

Why would Sarah have a “manly “ way of running? Cassie is trolling you whenever she gives your posts a like. There’s no other possible reason for her to do so.

Byrd N. Hand

Speak for yourself about loving Zack Snyder, Rakesh. He's in the same boat as Abrams and Shyamalan, as far as I'm concerned. 🤐

Cole Jennett

I’d say at least 100 of the comments on this thread are about that.

Cole Jennett

Cassie’s Canadianness had nothing to do with her not knowing Wolverines were animals.

Rakesh

I like Buffy as a TV choice also.... But Picard S3 needs to bookend the whole tng experience. She mentioned that she kept on being told ds9 at the trek convention and I wouldn't mind that either. Here's the thing. She's watching Got because she was going to watch it anyways and thought why not watch for the channel as well. This is a job for her, and will not feel like a job if she enjoys it. She enjoys watching TV and I agree. It's become long form content and on par with movies in terms of writing fiming. If she enjoys watching this stuff and there are people who also want to watch why would you stop this?

Rakesh

Nope. Sounds interesting. I might check it out though! Thx

Rakesh

I like Abrams shyamalan and Synder though. Youre picking all winners!

Clarence Newman

Sarah doesn't need a manly run, but it's the only run I've seen on tv or film that's more girly than Seagal's.

Richard Maurer

Cole - in North America, Wolverines are mostly found in Canada and Alaska. Everyone should know most of their local wildlife. I did, by the time I was 6 - not that I’m bragging or anything.

Richard Maurer

Or they all have some winners. And some major losers.

Joe J

I don't see Buffy, Voyager, or DS9 ever happening...just too many seasons, too many episodes. Picard will happen. Sopranos may happen if Cassie develops an interest in watching it. We all have favorite shows. I love the X-Files (S1-9), but I'm realistic and understand it's too many episodes for the channel.

Clay F

NUMBER OF EPISODES GoT - 73 Sopranos - 86 Buffy - 144 Voyager - 172 (receptive to abbreviated reaction as w/TNG) Mad Men - 92 The Wire - 60 The Expanse - 62 (much better than Firefly) Peaky Blinders - 36 Dexter (2006-2013) - 96 Andor - 24 episodes The Vikings - 89 The Americans - 75 Boardwalk Empire - 56 Homeland - 96

Richard Maurer

Buffy did about as well for Ashleigh Burton as GoT does for most reactors. Better series than GoT too, since the final season is reasonably good, unlike GoT.

Clay F

Can reasonably cut down the number of episodes for Buffy? 2X as many episodes as GoT. At 2 episodes per week, would approach a year and a half.

Richard Maurer

Ashleigh Burton usually does 3 episodes at a time. You couldn’t really cut out many episodes as subplots leading to the season finales are in almost every episode.

Lighthammer66 .

Cassie, you've chosen House Stark of Winterfell. A fine choice.

Matt Paley

But winter is coming. There are events ahead that ..... Ok no spoilers but you all know.
