Guys, I am so sorry, I have bad news. I watched Manchurian Candidate 1962 last week. We realized after that for whatever reason our soundboard was off. (I think it was my American handler ;)) We always have a backup recording going as well in case something happens with the mics for this reason, but it was also controlled by that soundboard :( Ben was not home while I was doing the reaction or he would have noticed because the soundboard is in his office. I'm so sorry to disappoint.

I'm so sad and frustrated because I actually think it was such a good movie, albeit very sad but ahead of its time, and I thought a good reaction.

I thought about doing a little video here for Patreon with just my thoughts about it?

I am still very glad I watched it, I will be watching the remake and I am glad I will have the original watched first.

Cassie

Choof

I think a 10-15 min review and your thoughts will suffice

Omar

Got that out of the way so it doesn’t happen on a Thrones watch. All good 👍🏽

Larry Darrell

All Good! S**t happens. Just hearing your thoughts would be real cool. Thank You. Especially your thoughts on the Ladies Garden Club scene. ;-)

A Very SAXY Century

Darn technology!!! You might want to consider watching the remake with Denzil Washington. You can then do a comparison between both versions.

William Brownlee

Sad. I was looking forward to this. I don't watch horror movies and don't care about GOT so I have not watched a lit of reations lately. I am thirsty for some comedy or shameless sentimentally.

Walter

That's a shame but it happens. You could just talk about it in the opening for the remake reaction. Glad you watched it though!

Chris Retzlaff

Review would be great....maybe some good snap shots of reactions..intercut..similar to your slow mo shots in youtube edits....sound isnt necessary

Cole Jennett

It’s easy for me to say because it wasn’t one I was really looking forward to, but don’t beat yourself up about it. It happens to the best of us. I would put out your thoughts on it. It would probably ease the pain a bit for the people who were looking forward to it. Just your normal outtro type.

Christopher Smith

Maybe do a review on the Podcast and talk about it with sis for a segment.

Rick Rodriguez

Wait. What if Cassie has been Manchurian Candidated?

Matt Rose

Definitely share your thoughts on the film. Also: THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE is one of many fantastic films that John Frankenheimer directed in the 1960s. Do SEVEN DAYS IN MAY, BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ, THE TRAIN, or GRAND PRIX as penance for your mistake :). I don't think you'd like SECONDS but it's fantastic.

Sean C Vann

Things happen. Great idea though to pivot and just do a recap. Maybe add that as part of the intro to the 2004 version? Whatever you decide will be amazing I'm sure. You're work is excellent, keep it going!

Dylan Headley

Angela Lansbury was a queen, people who only know her from Murder She Wrote are missing out. Sorry to hear you felt let down but things like that happen. I could joke "do more live shows and chat would tell you instantly" but I imagine having the work you put in get wasted hurts even more when you can't do a first time again. Credit to you for being honest and not faking it in a do over.

Steve Holton

No worries, Cassie. Technical glitches happen. Looking forward to your assessment of the film, where I’m sure you will find Raymond Shaw, “Is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being, I’ve ever known in my life” Also looking forward to the watching the remake film on PIB. In the meantime I will pass the time by playing a little solitaire 😊

Philip Gordon

We all make mistakes. That's a nice idea having a little summing up of your reaction to the film. Maybe put that on directly before the remake.

Mike Redford

A video with your take on it or even just a few words during the intro for the remake react are fine. It's something. Always down to hear your thoughts. A shame about the sound and all, but it is what it is. Things happen.

John Deardurff

Maybe that’s exactly what you want us to think. Or worse, maybe you did record it, but they programmed you to erase it. Either way, I’m staying suspicious. 🤔

Andrew R

If the video recorded fine, could you go in and dubb your Audio after the fact?

Larry Dennis

Maybe you can invite Carly for a reaction to it if you think she might like it?

Garrett Wilson

Thank you for doing what you can. I am extremely interested to hear what you thought of Angela Lansbury's character. Now let's all go play solitaire.

Joe J

The only way Cassie can make this up to us is a reaction to Cool Hand Luke (strong 3rd on the poll).

Alex Gorell

It happens. Don’t worry about it.

Byrd N. Hand

#rewatchwithcarly Ditto "What's Up, Doc?" -- the only other reaction for which this also happened. 🤔

Henry Graham

Cassie Popcorn is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.

Page_up

You had something similar happen with "What's Up Doc?" many suggested you do a re-watch, re-record with Carly. Might want to consider it again.

JohnnyUtah

Carly for Interstellar! Or secret of my Success! Michael j fox!!!

Jake McNulty

Don't you mean SEVEN DAYS IN MAY?

Joe J

Why not re-watch with Carly (first time watch for Carly, lol). Cassie will have forgotten most of it soon anyway.

Gary Granata

Make it up by watching From Here to Eternity. Sinatra won an Oscar and it's the war movie Johnnie Fontaine( Sinatra) got in the Godfather.

Byrd N. Hand

I just made the same proposal below...

pickupthepieces

Shit happens. Maybe just recap your thoughts in the intro to the remake.

Matt Dellarosa

Honestly Cassie, the remake is better in my opinion. Its by Jonathan Demme, the director who did Silence of the Lambs. Glad you got to see the original but the new one is the one I would have watched anyway.

Anthony Carlson

It happens unfortunately. It’s ok. At least you can do the remake!

Above Average Dave

Dang! Sorry about this, Cassie. Glitches happen. I would join the chorus of Patréons who would love to hear what you thought about this one. Frank Sinatra turned in a performance most people in the business thought he didn't have in him, and, of course, your comments on Laurence Harvey (who sadly died very young — age 45) and Angela Lansbury, who was also quite an accomplished Broadway actress and only a couple of years older than Harvey, even though she was playing his mother(!).

Above Average Dave

+1 for SECRET OF MY SUCCESS — a great 80s comedy!

Matt Dellarosa

Is Interstellar one that Cassie has already seen? I know it's not on the channel.

Matt Dellarosa

Lol, agreed. But I honestly can't remember if that line was in the original. I remember it from the remake though.

John A

Welp you're just gonna have to watch Midnight Run to make up for it I suppose...

Above Average Dave

You would subject Cassie to Barbara Streisand's scene grabbing, camera-mugging over-acting all over again!? Have you no humanity, man!? 🤣

John A

If I remember correctly she saw it but couldn't follow it and doesn't remember anything, which is puzzling but 🤷. What a shame, love the movie and makes for a good reaction

Tyler Foster

With so many people mentioning What's Up, Doc?, and with her being absent for so much of October, it does seem like the perfect opportunity to do a "Make-up with Carly" week where you watch that, this, and some other film (the only one I can think of would be The Naked Gun, although I don't know if you'd want to re-try that) with her.

Mark Bowen

If you still have the video footage you should just add some crazy organ music to it and add some dialogue cards voila the world's first silent reaction 🤔☺

Gray

Hey no worries technical problems can't be helped, dub over your voices that could be quite funny. Add it to the vault of missing movies. Your doing the remake so we no missing out entirely.

Joe J

I think she should watch Cool Hand Luke, it finished a strong 3rd on the Inspired Poll.

John A

"People who only know her from Murder She Wrote"... How many 90 year olds do you think are here?

Stick Figure Studios

Well, that's a bummer. :-( I am still interested in hearing your thoughts about the film. About the story and the ending. About the performances by Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury. Hopefully we'll also get even more thoughts about it when you react to the remake.

Gray

Yeah and hopefully In the theatre room

Stick Figure Studios

The remake is a surprisingly good remake (much better than It has any right to be), but the original is still the definitive version of this story imo.

Matt Rose

D'Oh! Not sure what I was thinking. Editing now.

Clay F

It happens. Don’t worry about it. Your thoughts on the original in the intro of the remake is fine. A rewatch doesn't make sense to me -- you just watched it a few days ago. It's not like you watched it 20 years ago and don't remember it. You could react to the strong 2nd place Wonder Woman (2017) in the PR #1-50 Poll.

John A

Interstellar

Stick Figure Studios

Hey, don't you be knocking Babs! She is brilliant in that movie and the film itself is terrific.

Larry Darrell

Is there some AI program that can read lips and give out a transcript of what Cassie said? Then we could have a computer voice talk for Cassie, like Siri or Joshua from WarGames. :-)

John A

Both for sure. Cool Hand Luke is more known so I'm sure she'll get to that sooner

Nick Ireland

No worries. Be cool if you could watch the re-make asap instead. That's such a good movie.

Dylan Headley

I don't understand. If someone saw her on stage they are probably at least 60, while Murder She Wrote ran against Friends and was releasing made for TV movies into the 2000s....it's by far her most famous contemporary work and it had plenty of younger fans.

Timothy Williams

Yes, please do a video. Or rewatch it and talk about how you originally felt and what you get the 2nd time. A lot of younger people like the remake, but the original is fantastic and still the best in my opinion.

Gray

might be a bit of a spoiler before the remake as I haven't seen either unless she's just giving general thoughts I suppose.

Joe J

She fell asleep watching it if I remember, lol.

Uncle Phoenix

I think that a good reaction video doesn’t depend on “1st Time Watching”. For Instance, I would love a Popcorn reaction to “Fast and The Furious” even though I know that Cassie probably watches it every Valentine’s Day. 😜

JL_83

Things happen PIB, but thanks for the update and please share your thoughts :)

keoma songs

I might be alone, but I think a quick video going over the technical set up would be interesting. What is the soundboard and what connects to it? Are the movies ripped or screen recorded? What plugs into what, microphones, headphones, syncing, etc. I'm never going to make reaction videos myself, but I am interested in the nuts and bolts of it all

Chris Thom

LIVE watch-a-long for the 2004 version? Meryl! That Liev dude you never quite recognize! Political intrigue and more questionable mothering. Could be fun?

Joe J

Clay, just do a rewatch with Carly next week, Cassie would have forgotten most of it by then, lol.

Chris Thom

YES. Agree on that solution.

Clay F

Gray -- good point. She could give a spoiler warning saying to skip ahead. Or she could do a separate "little video" as she mentioned a possibility.

Byrd N. Hand

Beats, say, Melissa McCarthy's scene-grabbing, camera-mugging, and overacting. 🤐

Chris Thom

Second that suggestion.

Chris Thom

Hey I remember that.

Clarence Newman

I think this is the perfect chance to see how good an editor Matt is. Just give him the video and say "Wee problem with the sound, Matt. Can you fix it in post?"

Chris Thom

Didn't know she agreed to that. She was going to do both in the same month?

Joe J

And both films are in color...thats a bonus, lol.

Chris Thom

The overdubbing could be hilarious.

Byrd N. Hand

"French Connection II" as well.

baz0348

Thing's happen cassie don't beat yourself up about it. Thanks for the update appreciated.

Clarence Newman

Also Cassie, while not your fault, this represents further heinous maltreatment of the 1960s. I believe you now owe the 1960s a Cool Hand Luke reaction to soothe its terrible sense of abandonment.

clutchkman

That's too bad, I love the classics on PIB and that's a good one, but these things happen and life goes on. Maybe you could get Carly to watch it with you? If not that's cool, I still appreciate your thoughts that you shared on it. Also, evil Angela Landsberry is unforgettable!

Chris Thom

Nah she's all Tokyo Drift all day every day.

Chris Thom

That's pretty much what I know her from. Mostly because my 87 year old daycare provider liked it so much when I was a kid. Lol

Joe J

I recommended the same. Only Cassie can make this right, lol.

Kawaii Leonard

Like some people said, just dub your voice over the video.

Chris Thom

Might be fun to hear her detailed recap of a Game of Thrones episode though. lol

Mark T

Yes! Cool Hand Luke would be a great reaction to watch!

Chris Thom

She is now morally, ethically, religiously, stylistically, and capitalistically obligated to.

Larry Darrell

Taking the lead from an earlier Patron, I’m thinking a Poll of Director, John Frankenheimer’s films could be an awesome idea… Birdman of Alcatraz (1962) Seven Days in May (1964) The Train (1964) Grand Prix (1966) I Walk the Line (1970) Reindeer Games (2000)… Christmas!! I’m excluding Ronin (1998) because that would most certainly be a Ringer. ;-)

Clarence Newman

BUT! If she "fails to communicate" while watching that one, I'm throwing out my maple syrup.

Catherine LW

I’m no sound tech but would subtitles work?

Uncle Phoenix

I almost went with “Road House”; but then I realized that our Cassie LOVES fast cars breaking the law. ❤️🤙🏼

Ike

Well, it sounds like you did the homework assignment, so we’ll give your muted reaction an A-. Looking forward to the remake!

Omar

I don’t understand the dubbing audio solution. The original reaction audio is gone. Dubbing would be no better than just rewatching.

Doc Larry/old geezer

Cassie, your channel continues to be such a worthwhile and joyful experience no worries at all. As the old saying goes (from an old geezer like me), “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Everything will turn out just fine. Your reaction videos are always such a delight to watch, and being an “extra butter” Patreon has truly been a joy and a rewarding investment. I’m really looking forward to your Christmas movie reactions after tender November

Larry Darrell

I’m for overdubbing ONLY if the mouth does NOT sync up with the words.

Larry Darrell

But Cassie could make a reaction video that looks like a Godzilla film.

Chris Thom

Editor Matt just needs to do all the voices with the right inflections now. That's all.

Chris Thom

Birdman of Alcatraz sounds interesting. I saw his cell at the prison a few years ago.

Omar

They could do it in another language just for kicks

Joe J

Seven Days in May better win that poll, lol.

2-Can

Now that you’ve seen how it’s done, you could always post a silent reaction with intertitle cards. Or in a nod to What’s Up Tiger Lily (1966), you could have someone else dub in audio for your reaction.

Tyler Foster

Agreed. To each their own, but it's kind of a bummer seeing how many people seemed to think the original was just homework before the remake. I like the remake, but the original is better.

Chris Thom

Demme is a fantastic director. Rachel Getting Married was an interesting one. With Anne Hathaway.

JediJones

My opinion, just do a recording of you watching it again and talking about it from the perspective of a rewatch. "First-time reaction" isn't an absolutely mandatory standard. This would be a good experiment to see how a "rewatch" reaction goes. Your first watch is still fresh in your mind, so you could easily explain what your thoughts were. Let's say you were watching a mystery. You could say, "At this point, I thought the killer was XYZ." It mighr be considered more of a commentary than a reaction, but people were watching commentaries on movies long before reaction videos became a thing. This would let you see how the same thing might work if you rewatch one of your favorite movies from the past and do commentary on it.

Chris Thom

The remake is a thriller she might actually enjoy. Fairly Carly-safe.

Chris Thom

She's going to LOVE Meryl.

JediJones

Shall we react to a movie?

Larry Darrell

I’m with you Joe. That’d be my pick. And Cassie would love it too. It’s in the Conspiracy Thriller category that she’s been liking.

Dan M

No worries, Cassie. Poop happens. For as much great content and amazing entertainment that you provide us, on top of the volume of content you provide, problems are bound to arise here and there. This might be a first, but maybe just a re-watch of the movie with some commentary about your thoughts as the movie progresses would be okay with the PiB community. We won’t get the benefit of your initial reactions, but it would still be interesting to hear. And who knows, maybe you’ll pick up on a couple of things that you missed the first time.

Matt Dellarosa

I forgot that was Demme. But yes, excellent movie. Must watch for the channel.

Robert Evans

I am heartbroken - I was so looking forward to this one. So few reactors do the lesser classics because they don;t post good numbers (I've given up ever seeing someone react to The Caine Mutiny) but maybe you could do what you did with the LOTR, watch it with Carly, her 1st time and we all know you see the big twist coming.

Roger Banks

Just do a video talking about your impressions. We don’t need the full reaction. We just want to know how this film fits in with your growing knowledge of films and filmmaking.

Gábor Árki

Oh no, this was the first reaction that I was somewhat excited about for months. But as the sticker says, sh*t happens. How about making a John Frankenheimer poll as a consolation?

Larry Darrell

The film Frankenheimer did after Manchurian Candidate… Seven Days in May (1964) is a reeaal good’ne.

Larry Darrell

BIG +1 for The Caine Mutiny (1954)

Mark Duedall

Of all the comments so far, no one has considered a class action lawsuit of all 450k of PiB’s followers against the manufacturer of the sound board. The damages would be huge. Since this is my idea I get 10% of the proceeds. I will start drafting the legal complaint.

Mark White

Yes, Cool Hand Luke please

Mark White

+a 1,000,000 for Interstellar!

Cole Jennett

The fact that the only example people can come up with is from 4 years ago, I’d say you’re fine!😊

Mark White

How Could You!!!🤬 Juuuust kidding! 😉😆 To be fare Cassie, I’m amazed you have made it, what, 5 plus years! Without this happening! You have done well. No worries, S**t happens. However a Reaction to “Interstellar” with Kaiielle would make up for it. 😉 It’s one of Kaiielle’s fav’s and mine too! Pleeeeeeease! 🙏🪐 It’s been a while since you did a reaction together.

Larry Darrell

Definitely! No doubt this is a bummer, but it is what it is. The 1962 original was the headliner of this double feature for me.

Kevin

As a legal representative wouldn't you receive 30%? Also, how dare they make a sound board with an "Off" button!

Larry Darrell

I Got It!! A feature length audio commentary track that we can play with our copy of the film. No video recording necessary. Just have Cassie watch the film again, and give her thoughts when she has them. No need to setup video camera. Just an Audio Commentary Track. Whatta ya think??

Old As Dirt Bert

I disagree. I'm a patron because of Cassie's reactions. If I want a movie review, I go to Rotten Tomatoes.

2-Can

Check the fine print, counselor. They bought a Sound Bored unit which is supposed to only play back silence.

Uncle Phoenix

I think that this would be a great application of the ART of Kintsugi. Kintsugi (or kintsugi, from the Japanese words for "golden" and "joining") is the art of repairing broken pottery, such as plates and cups, with lacquer mixed with gold, silver, or platinum powder. The cracks are highlighted rather than hidden, turning the damage into a beautiful, unique feature of the piece.

Larry Dennis

Would you also consider a re-watch again with Carly as your copilot?

Dave

Sorry this happened, Cassie. With time being as valuable as it is, any full length rewatch or watch of the newer version really isn't needed. With a live package opening coming soon, why not take 10 minutes or so during the event to give you review for everyone to see. I think that would suffice.

Old As Dirt Bert

Cassie, what would you choose to do if this problem happened on 2 GOT episodes? Count me as an ancient fan who always hopes to see grandkids (like your age) react to great old movies from the last century while I'm still around.

Larry Darrell

Kintsugi. I like that. This could be a whole new unique feature to the channel. She could do Commentary tracks for all films that she’s seen before. (Do them in her own time, when she feels like re-watching a favorite film. No worries about appearance. She could even watch films with her family.) Video is best for first watches because you’re more animated then. You’re more prone to be less animated for films that you have seen before.

TheSingulatarian

I was having the same thought, Frank Sinatra is now after an egg salad recipe.

Above Average Dave

I was told by someone in their teens recently never to say "word" as an affirmative exclamation because no one (insert contemptuous vocal fry and eyerolling by said teen here) uses that anymore. So, may I just say in support of Cole's assertion above: WORD!

Milton Reduxed

Got to have a Humphrey Bogart poll to compensate

djKENTO

well just react to the remake with Denzel and Meryl Streep now and give a little preface on how much you liked the original

My_Cousin_Mose

Major bummer for everyone who was excited for that reaction. That really stinks. But it was bound to happen eventually. I do hope you don't feel too bad about this. Pretending this was a reaction I was excited for- ideally I'd want you to wait about a year then rewatch it with Carly. If that didn't happen then I would at least like you to make a video (or better yet a livestream) where you talk about it and give it a full review.

Warren Robinson

Sounds like a Chinese op... Who makes you sound board? 😉

Steve Smith

It doesn't matter to me. Honestly, right now, the only reactions I want to see from Cassie are the Game of Thrones episodes. When they are done, then I'll be glad to see the others again.

Robert Evans

I’m a lot drunker than you so it’ll be a fair fight - says the man w a broken arm

K, Zachary

You know John Frankheimer directed this movie and the night before Bobby Kennedy was shot Bobby was having dinner at Frankenheimer's house a very small gathering of Hollywood's elites were there this would have been June 5, 1968 and what do you know Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski were there having dinner with Bobby the night before his death. From what I learned Sharon and Bobby got into some deep political discussions.

Dan Holmes

yes pls, would love to see more post film reviews from reactors who watch stuff off camera or have technical failures like this. Just give us your thoughts and we'll be happy :)

Rick Williams

It's okay Cassie. Shake it off. These things happen. Just move on.

ShoopIndy

+1 for "a little video...with just [your] thoughts"

Thomas Meredith

Yes!!! Couldn't agree more. From Here to Eternity is an absolute classic.

Byrd N. Hand

Yes, an MXC-style reaction video! 🤗

Michael Copeland

While I wouldn't say that is the ONLY ones I want to see, I will agree that I want to see them the MOST. 💪

Larry Darrell

If only you had known the sound board was going to malfunction, then you could have watched the film in your theater room, in the dark, without earbuds. The more you think about it, it just keeps getting worse. ☹️ ;-) I was really looking forward to the original Manchurian Candidate, but alas… Que sera, sera… what will be, will be. Chin up, and on to the next one. :-)

Mike Connaghan

You might find even a YouTube video with new audio over the original footage will do well -- if that isn't excessively time-consuming for you.

John Drake

Not to worry, we'll pass the time by playing a little solitaire...

Stick Figure Studios

But let's be frank here, if there were like a John Frankenheimer poll, RONIN would certainly win... and honestly, I'd be fine with that.

Stick Figure Studios

What happened was, there was a YouTube poll and MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE won, but it was never made clear which version people were voting on. A number of folks come myself included, voted for thinking it was the original, but it was actually the remake, so when Cassie was asked if she would be willing to do both, she agreed. She'd watch the original one first and then follow it up with the remake.

Clarence Newman

I would've said just watch Cool Hand Luke, but Johnny A went on about Midnight Run so much, I ended up watching it. BIG +1 for Midnight Run, then Cool Hand Luke and our work is done.

Clarence Newman

I've said the same thing somewhere below, but one cannot have too many Cool Hand Luke requests. "We're shakin' it, boss! We're shakin' it!"

Clarence Newman

I'm just surprised it took all the other reactors so long to start sabotaging our girl's equipment.

Canadianant

Don't feel too bad ..George and Simone over at cinebinge had a tech issue very recently as well. Your not the only one. These things happen..

Jacob Wagner

At least you're honest and real about your reactions..alot of reactors I notice are performing and acting and have obviously seen the films before by making references that they shouldn't know if they haven't seen the movie or they play to the camera...so thanks for your commitment to sincerity

Clarence Newman

Stick's request makes 716 for CHL on this post alone. Cassie!!

Just Plain Bob

Amen to this. I’ve noticed the exact same thing. Nothing worse than watching some phony try to put on a performance instead of genuinely reacting to what’s on screen in front of them.

Mark White

Absolutely. One of the reasons I stick with Cassie.

Mike Lemon

I told her not to show her house layout in that one live...

Mike Lemon

Or have Carly do the dub.

Clarence Newman

She has no sense of security. She just read pretty much my entire address out on the latest Popcorn to Go vid. Now I'm afraid Richard will find me.

Ronnie

Stuff happen, glad you're honest with your fan. That's the best policy. You're the best!

Larry Darrell

I know. And so would everyone else. ;-)

Mark Duedall

Yes I think a 30% commission is better. I will pledge some of it to purchasing Patreon accounts for underprivileged fans of PiB. And I’m not letting the fine print stop me. They can plead that defense to the jury. My witnesses are going to be heartbroken reaction fans. The jury will be appalled by this corporate wrongdoing. We’ll be rich.

Steve Holton

As George Burns once said, "The key to any good performance is sincerity! Once you can fake that .." 😊

Chris Thom

Anyone remember when Plants vs. Zombies was a thing?

JohnnyUtah

I don't even know how that's possible!!!

Bill Isaacs

What a great opportunity! Do commentary on yourself reacting to the movie. Sort of a tongue in cheek view of yourself. A reaction to a reaction. Just audio laid over the reaction video. Maybe have a second party who knows you join in. That could be a lot of fun.

JohnnyUtah

It's my favorite Nolan film, she's gotta attempt it for the score alone!

Clay F

Don't feel bad. Stuff happens. You said you "thought about doing a little video" with your "thoughts." -- that's what I vote for. 5 minutes? Glad you watched it. Will be curious of your comparison of the remake to the original in the remake reaction outro.

Jason Dolan

Just redo it and FAKE the reaction :P

Stick Figure Studios

Both great films and two of my favorites, but MIDNIGHT RUN just has a special place in my heart.

Stick Figure Studios

Maybe I should consult my plastic Jesus sitting on the dashboard of my car.

Uncle Phoenix

I was actually thinking of Ben taking the Audio and A.I. and transpose Cassie onto the bridge of the Enterprise and have AI make the reactions with her audio.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

I'm really sorry to read this, Cassie. Suggestion: Maybe do a Lord of the Rings/Lion King and rewatch it with Carly? Also, this might cheer you up; In the Scene By Scene book I sent you, there is an interview chapter with Janet Leigh talking about making the train scene with Frank Sinatra, page 73!!!

Chitown Livingston

No problem. Sh*t happens. Soooo... time for good old fashioned wholesome family Christmas 🎄 movies! KISS 💋 KISS 💋 BANG BANG.... and... THE REF!

Just Plain Bob

She’s got a full reaction up already for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It’s excellent.

Wayne McKinney

YES! for "The Ref". The language is awful but man, is it funny! A great Christmas recommendation

Mannygogou

Sometimes things will happen... and things will be broken... never to be mended again. And so we must be able to let it go... The million shards of glass... yet the edges show brilliance as they shine in the light. We can't go back. So fly Cassie be free free free. The shards of the broken glass glints perhaps laughing...

Chris Thom

A reaction video to the earliest reactions on the channel could actually be a lot of fun. Not like the whole videos, but more of a compilation of maybe five or six minutes from each movie.

Chris Thom

I could believe that some of them haven't seen the full movie. But just being immersed in pop-culture like they are, they've seen clips and references. But I do wonder. Some seem to know a lot just from watching The Simpsons, Family Guy, or South Park.

LukeG84

No worries. The 2004 remake with Denzel Washington is one most people really want to see your reaction to anyway.

John Cranberry

Can we see the silent reaction? 😁

Sean

Now Cassie shd watch "Seven Days in May" and "Failsafe" which I tend to group together with "The Manchurian Candidate", reflect the Cold War politics and occasional brinksmanship of the era.

Night King01

Oh well. You should definitely watch more films by John Frankenheimer. He basically created the modern action thriller with movies like this and Train. Ronin with Robert De Niro was one of his last and really good. Seconds is a great psychological thriller that he did as well. And French Connection 2. Black Sunday to. A lot to choose from.

Byrd N. Hand

Gotta throw in "Dr. Strangelove," then, as well, for a more satirical slant on the whole thing.

Patrick Switzer

That's ok Cassie. Things happen. I know you and Ben will get it taken care of

Clarence Newman

Even worse, my house doesn't have a number. It's a name. And my postcode (zip code) is shared with about 10 other houses.

Chitown Livingston

I forgot she saw Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I guess Cassie just has to watch... THE REF!

Clarence Newman

Al Pacino always said that they were going to replace him on The Godfather..........until the scene in the coffee shop. By the same measure, Midnight Run is a "good" film.....until Charles Grodin walks into the bar.

John A

Midnight Run had a decent premise and was going well on its own, but then yeah, Charles Grodin just elevates it to elite levels. I wish he was in more stuff, he really was great. He does do a little call back Easter egg in the show Louie

Clarence Newman

Fun fact: Sinatra got the part because his Mafia mates put a horse's head in the producer's bed, and got the Oscar because he told the voting panel how he got the part.

Clarence Newman

How about cars with massive tyres breaking the law? That would rope in Roadhouse.

Uncle Phoenix

Hopefully we get to find out. 🤙🏼

The horse's head used in the movie was a real horse's head. They couldn't make one that looked real enough. There is great series "The Offer" on Paramount Plus about the making of movie.

Absolutely. Cassie is getting a masterclass in cinema!

Silent Popcorn In Bed !! Do a little review/intro and then just play the silent reaction footage :) !!

I’m very sorry to hear about this. It’s got to be so frustrating. I can feel it.

Matt Stafford

Hi Cassie! Instead of commenting on the remake, it would be great if you posted your soundless reaction with a new audio track of you and/or Carly commenting on your reaction. Or a video essay (say half an hour) with clips?

Clarence Newman

Apologies, Matt. At first read, I thought this sounded pointless - as in "These things happen, let's just move on." Then I considered how I'd feel if it happened on Cool Hand Luke....or Bullitt....or Papillon....or..... Totally not Cassie's fault, but it's a Full Monty moment for those who love the original MC.

Matt Stafford

Thank you Clarence. Yes, the original "MC" is in my all-time top five, and seeing Cassie's reaction to the Three Moments would make me very happy.
