Hey friends!

Happy Remembrance/Veterans Day. I did not want this day to go by without honoring and thanking those who have, and are serving their countries. I cannot express my gratitude for our veterans enough and to their families. May we never forget the sacrifice of those brave enough to fight for us. I wore my poppy today and thought of you :)

I had a fun weekend with my girlfriends staying at one of their condos not too far away. Sunshine, great food and staying up way too late chatting and being personally victimized by a puzzle was just what I needed. We literally threw the puzzle in the trash after, we could never put anyone through that nightmare again. Just like Jumanji, it had to be buried.

I am still pretty grumpy about the sound not working for the Manchurian Candidate reaction. Ugghhhh but can't fix it now so trying not to be too bugged. I'll make a little review video about it tomorrow! I apologize again.

This week we are continuing season 3 of GOT, the iconic Forrest Gump with Carly and The Expendables, which won a DVD pull on the last LIVE, who knew?! We also have YT uploads with Utah's adopted father Robert Redford in 3 days of Condor, In the Name of the Father (finally) and of course my GOT!

I am still playing catch up with movies this month and will try to do 4 next week to try and squeeze them all in. Is November flying by or what?! Soon it will be turkey day, and then Christmas will be over and Happy 2026!!

We had our Pick a Flick drawing last week and our winner was "Odd Thomas" and his pick was Testament of Youth (2014) which looks pretty dreamy! If you missed entering for October-you can enter anytime this month!

Quick dates:

Tentative Extra Butter Live-11/18-will confirm shortly. Early December YT LIVE CHRISTMAS/BIRTHDAY PARTY!

As always, thank you for being my friend (to the tune of gilmore girls theme of course)

Cassie

I think you meant Golden Girls😉

Night King01

I do hope you watch expendables 2 as well some day. Its more fun. But stop there as they get much worse after. Also I wonder if you’ve ever thought of continuing the Rambo Franchise. 2 is fun and 3 is pure cheese and fun. But 4 is really good and closer in tone to the original but I will say the subject matter is very intense.

Gray

Yeah if you could keep the extra butter for the Tuesday that would be great haha, GoT and Gump will be fantastic, Expendables is a throw back to the old action movies that's for sure. I recently saw it's going in to 5 years on Youtube next month what a milestone!, amazing how time has flew by you'll have to do a top 10 of the films you have watched on the channel.

Bill W

Bye week on Patreon for me, but ITNOTF coming to Youtube more than makes up for it!!!

Tyler Foster

I said it on the other post and I'll say it again: future "re-do with Carly" week where you two do What's Up, Doc?, The Manchurian Candidate, and (taking a cue from others) Interstellar.

Anthony Carlson

I have a cousin who served in the Marines as a Military Police officer in Japan. I had two grandpas and a grandma who served during the Second World War. None of them saw combat (although one of my grandpas saw a Japanese Zero flew by his cargo ship, but for whatever reason didn’t attacked it thankfully), but they served in their own ways. Sorry you had to cancel your reaction to the original Manchurian Candidate thanks to the soundboard hiccups, but at least you can make it up for it by watching the remake. You’re still and always ok. 😉🙂 I can’t wait to see your (rewatched) reaction with Carly for Forrest Gump! Should be a good one! And I had a wonderful time watching my Spartans defeat the Nittany Lions in hockey and against a future NHL superstar, Gavin McKenna (Sorry Dan M). He’s legit and with time, he should be a superstar. Tally ho folks!

Collar City Guy

Cassie on behalf of myself and all of the veterans here on PIB and elsewhere thank you for always thinking about us and your gratitude!

Brian McGovern

Put music to the Manchurian Candidate. You can make it silent reaction and honour Nosferatu.😄

John A

Next Stallone movie has to be Cop Land

Mojo One Thousand

I thought the same thing, I was already singing it before I got to the parenthetical.

Dan M

Oh Cassie, My Cassie…I just finished watching Dead Poets Society with you and Carly. I know it was a hard crash after being so uplifting and inspiring for the first half of the movie, but it really is such a great movie. So, at one point towards the beginning of the movie, you said you loved Robin Williams’ face. So that got me to thinking, we need more of his face on the channel. Therefore, I’m going to petition for a Robin Williams poll, despite you just having watched DPS. I submit the following movies: - Patch Adams (1998), with Philip Seymour Hoffman - Awakenings (1990), with Robert DeNiro - Bicentennial Man (1999), with Sam Neill - The Best of Times (1986), with Kurt Russell - The Fisher King (1991), with Jeff Bridges - The Bird Cage (1996), with Nathan Lane P.S. - why is that jigsaw puzzles can be so relaxing and so maddening at the same time? 🫠

Dan M

And a box of choc-lates.

Dan M

Oooof! Right in the gut! 😉 The fingers are crossed for this Saturday 🤞🤞🤞

Anthony Carlson

At least you got a chance for redemption this Saturday!

Dan M

We are!!!….Hopeful???

Dan M

I’m sensing you like that movie.

Anthony Carlson

My mom loved that movie! She used to be a psychiatric nurse and can relate to the stuff in the movie.

Mark Vaderr

Thank you for acknowledging all veterans on this day. Let us also remember that this was day was originally known as Armistice Day, which marked the end of World War I. I was hoping this week would be The Expendables and 2001: A Space Odyssey, what a contrast that would have been. I hope you are getting a chance to enjoy November, Cassie.

MGCR

- 900 billion points from Patch Adams.

Joseph M Sica

Hey Cassie! Shout out from your little favorite ole US Marine! Thank you for the kind words to myself and our fellow veterans! Glad to hear your doing well! <3

Clay F

Definitely looking forward to GoT and FG.

Ted Whalen

Anthony and Dan- my fellow Big Ten fans! Do you think “yes” or “no” on the potential private equity deal the Big10 is considering.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

I'm really sorry to hear about The Manchurian Candidate (1962), 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!!!

Travis Tate

Do you mean, To The Tune of "Golden Girls"?

Wil Castillo

From myself and those who have served, and still serve, thank you Cassie, for thinking of our veterans and their families. I always thought that there should be a holiday to honor the families of veterans. They go through so much as well, when their loved ones are deployed. They make the ultimate sacrifice as well, when they lose their loved ones. They go through it all just as much as we do.

TheSingulatarian

I think the rights holders for "Rambo II" are really bad with copyright claims. I have never seen it last on You Tube for long. Maybe a Patreon exclusive.

Mike Redford

Me and puzzles = oil and water lol. Oldest brother loves em. Carly having never seen forrest gump was not on my bingo card. That'll be fun. Expendables, well, bring on the action. More GOT, yes! Lastly, I want to echo your thanks to all current military and veterans for their service 💪

K, Zachary

Dear Cassie & Carly the rest of the PIB Crew and Distinguished PIB Viewers, About Last Week: We watched the Manchurian Candidate, even though it didn't get posted. No one is to blame here. Serious of unfortunate circumstances. It happens sometimes. To me it happens all the time. At least we had GOT and Dead Poets Society. We spent the weekend watching the new Frankenstein and the mini series All Her Fault on Peacock. Holy crap did that of a shocker of ending. Great performances all around. Its still great to see Cassie and Carly together. The GOAT girls as we call them. We just about the Unriveled 3 on 3 basketball league. The Expansion team the Breeze has Paige Bueckers and Kate Martin ( former Iowa girl) on it . My PT told me about it needless to say we all in. Looking ahead to the future: This week we have more GOT getting closer Almost to season 4. Forrest Gump what a soundtrack! The Expendables. I remember watching this movie but I don't remember anything about it. That's strange.🤔 My gf and I are celebrating Tender November watching old Romcoms. Counting the days till we get to go to the Dominican Republic to see my Dad for Thanksgiving. He has the Internet so we still will get to see The Steelers game against the Bills that weekend. All right song time. My gf who is multi racial wanted Buttons by The Pussycat Dolls ft Snoop Dogg. I wanted Seether ft Amy Lee, Broken. We compromised on a love song from the 90's that is in every wedding reception. Here is the last of the Tender November songs Babyface, Everytime I Close My Eyes: https://youtu.be/GbrSO81KhBY?si=mCBl5hx2HQ2YPL95 I bid you good day! back to morning prayers while I fall back asleep

MikeLL

Losing The Manchurian Candidate is a real tragedy. Hopefully you still feel very very guilty. As a penance, you could pick 10 other great Classic Era movies to watch. Like The Philadelphia Story for starters. I assure you it would absolve all guilt, and you'll have a good time doing it! This looks like a great week of movies (and of course GOT episodes) as fall rolls coldly along. This is a great season!

Rene G.

stil waiting for Carly to get invited to Kat's horror channel for a wednesday weekly collab scary night movie watch-along.. Should be fun. lol

Clay F

+1 for The Philadelphia Story

Clay F

FG does have an awesome soundtrack. The Expendables is a bunch of old guys with no necks punching and kicking. Helps if you are taken with the Stallone star power. I like Seether and love Amy Lee. Broken is a good song.

Richard Maurer

My weekly ask for Fantastic Four: First Steps till It gets watched. It’s become one of my favorite movies in the superhero genre.

Jens Kristensen

I have a deep inner feeling that Carly will love FG... Really looking forward to this.

John A

A deep inner feeling lmao, who doesn't love Forrest Gump

Anthony Carlson

Ted Whalen- From what I’m hearing, they’re going to try getting the deal done without Michigan and USC participating. Did you watch Greg Flugaur’s live show on this?

Clarence Newman

That puzzle you had trouble with..... As you started to complete it, did you suddenly realise that the picture that was forming was of the very room you were sitting in? And that the young woman sitting at the table was you? And because you'd seen Dead Poets recently, you bodyswerved a nasty Halloween moment by refusing to place the last piece and running out of the room like a scorched cat instead? Just wondering.

Richard Maurer

I feel about this month the way horror haters feel about October. Barely anything to watch so far - basically just 3 Days of the Condor. And December won’t be much better if it’s all just Christmas movies. We’ve seen all the good “nice” Christmas movies. How about Krampus or even Bad Santa this year.

Joe J

+1 for Cop Land.

Doc Larry/old geezer

The year is winding down, and what an incredible lineup of movies you’ve been reacting to, Cassie! Keep up the amazing work — 2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting year. There are several new releases in theaters now, like the rom-com Eternity, that you’ll probably get to by midyear. And with Game of Thrones wrapping up for you around December or January, I can’t wait to see what you dive into next!

Above Average Dave

Semper Fi! My Grandma's brother (who I called my uncle) was first Marines deployed in the Pacific. He never really talked about it except to tell me once when I asked him what it was like, "The Japanese didn't surrender and the Marines didn't take prisoners. That's what it was like." That and, "The best of us are buried in the sand of places people have forgotten. That's what it was like." He went on to have a very productive life, marry and have 4 daughters. But he fought the bottle and the demons he brought back, and lived as a functional alcoholic. Love him to this day though he passed more than 2 decades ago. Thanks for your service, Joseph, and to all who served and deployed.

Joe J

This November is okay for me. Condor, 2001 (coming soon), and The Expendables is not a rom-com...so that's a bonus. I can enjoy basically any action film Cassie watches.

Jens Kristensen

True. I still have a tendency to quote Lieutenant Dan at any given time.

Bill W

John, apparently you didn't read the comment section when FG was running away with the poll. 😀

Joe J

IMO Cassie needs to jump on F1 and Frankenstein very soon so she can get maximum YT views. Don't wait too long on new releases. And also MI:8 soon.

Bill W

YES PLEASE YES!!

Cojuancidence

Please please please watch the extended cut of Expendables* Much more serious plot and Character development + action *🫡*

Just Plain Bob

“Rare Exports” would also be very welcome, as would “Trollhunter.” And I share Richard’s lack of enthusiasm for “Tender November.” It’s artificial demand ginned up by the decision to devote October, and only October, to scary movies. This “seasonal watching” thing is for the birds. Please, please Cassie spread out your genre viewing. One scary movie a month would satisfy horror hounds and offer a fair representation of our favorite genre and we could also cut back on all the saccharine nonsense that follows.

Richard Maurer

Bob - Agree. But no way Rare Exports or Trollhunter are winning a poll. Cassie would have to decide to watch them, and I don’t see that happening either.

Just Plain Bob

+1 for Frankenstein, though I fear it’s unlikely to occur to Cassie to react to it until next October. Unfortunate that she chooses to only watch that single genre during that single month on the calendar. Particularly in the case of Frankenstein which is really more of a gothic romance than a horror film. I frequently disagree with corporate shill site Rotten Tomatoes but, in this case, I feel that its 95% fresh rating is about right.

John A

Maybe not too soon, I still need to see them first! Never would have thought to but you guys have convinced me

John A

Oh I'm sure there are contrarians here, hell I'm sure I can even guess some of them

John A

The Expendables was fun. Not every movie needs to be deep, least of all action movies. Hell I can't even remember the plot at this point, but I know I found it entertaining for sure

Joe J

I watch a number of other reactors, so Cassie's never the only game in town for me.

Richard Maurer

She’s not the only one, but her and a couple of others are my main ones. Crazy thing was, out of all the reactors I watch, even Kat, Cassie had the best horror movies this year, which is not something I thought I’d ever be saying. But this November’s been pretty bland from everyone I watch. Thinking about watching Cassie and Carly’s LotR reaction again (5th time? 6th?) just to have something to watch.

Mike Lemon

When you chase youtube views you burn out very quickly.

Joe J

Mike - YT views were always a given until this year, now Cassie has to chase them some. Why would she burn-out, she posts (3) reactions a week, same as always.

Mike Lemon

From not watching what she wants, but watching what she "has to" to chase the algorithm. A steady state for 20 years is much better for everyone than having to get it all "right now".

Joe J

The thing about reactors is they have to be genuine, actually engage in the movie (not observe), and have a personality I can jive with. It's a short-list, lol. I've got only a handfull I regularly watch. I seem to be able to watch anyone's reaction to "Pitch Black" for some reason, lol.

Kyle Reese Popcorn Fan

100%, she needs to do those and the new Fantastic 4 and get the views.

Joe J

Just good business to strike while the iron's hot with these new movies. Look at "Sinners", Cassie missed the optimal reaction window and the YT views are now dissapointing.

Joe J

GoT won't wrap up until late March or April.

Richard Maurer

Another reason to watch horror outside October. Horror’s hot right now, waiting till October loses her the chance to get good YT numbers. And jumping on what’s hot will help keep the rest of the channel going. Movies like 3 Days of the Condor, as good as they may be, are not going to keep the YouTube numbers where they need to be. Cassie should really add some newer movies to her popcorn picks of the month, as necessary, and get some views from movies she wants to watch anyway.

Ted Whalen

Anthony- I have seen that USC and that other school were dragging their heels on this deal. I know the OSU has some very mixed feelings about doing this deal. I have not watched Flugaur’s show yet (I am going to try and watch it this evening).

Mark White

5 years! Can’t believe it! I think my first Cassie reaction was Shawshank, but she had been going 4-5 months by then. I binged the rest and soon caught up! I just had a Quick Look at the release date for The Shawshank redemption on YT and it’s Jan 21st 2021, is that right? So will it be 5 years in Jan? Anywho, whenever it is, there should be some kind of celebration on the channel. I would be Interested to hear Cassie top 10 watched on the channel as well.

Anthony Carlson

Ted Whalen- Watch the video with DEFCON 1 in the title.

Mark White

Glad you had a good time with your mates Cassie. We all need a little time with those chosen family members. The ones that make us laugh and remind us of our younger years. Don’t worry about the Manchurian, as I’ve said before it’s amazing it hasn’t happened before. Im looking forward to this week. I’m finally catching the GoT bug and I’m now having to stop myself binging it as well!! Forrest Gump with Carly will be enjoyable with a few tears I’m sure and the all Action Expendables will be fun. You are the best Cass ❤️

Ed Garland

Can you please let us know which version of The Expendables you are watching, (Theatrical or Extended Uncut version) , so we can sync up the correct copy with you. Also if you are trying to squeeze in more movies next week, Please still finish, and post, GOT season 3, next week too. Thank you so much!!

Stick Figure Studios

She will love a lot of it (And maybe even end up liking it overall) but she will hate certain parts. Remember that Carly prefers totally happy endings and anything that is sad she does not care for. FORREST GUMP, like DEAD POETS SOCIETY, is ultimately bittersweet and she struggles with that.

Stick Figure Studios

It's been many years since I last saw FORREST GUMP, so It's probably due for a rewatch. Who knows? Maybe I'll actually like it more this time.

Stick Figure Studios

FISHER KING and AWAKENINGS are both very good movies. All the other ones you mentioned, not so much.

Kawaii Leonard

Edit: message was for Joe J's meassage below but I screwed up because i'm a dumb dumb. Sorry but you are wrong about the new Frankenstein movie having any hype. I just went to check YT, and the big reaction channels like Reel Reject or Cinepals are getting 30K views. This is not anything special. To me, the views are in older, more nostalgic movies that people want to see over and over.

Cole Jennett

I’ve done this before. If you click edit on this message, and double click on the text you can hit “copy all” and paste it as a reply to Joe J. Then just delete this one. Just fyi, you don’t actually have to do it, lol

John A

Yeah Cassie is one of about 3 or 4 reactors I can stand

Gray

Yeah your right Mark probably makes more sense to go from when Shawkshank was uploaded and not when channel was created. I was the same and started watching a few months later, I didn't became patreon til a few years later as I just didn't have any free time then to watch the full reactions. Now the full reactions are all I watch as i feel you miss out especially on films I'd not seen before with the edits. Perhaps an anniversary watch of Shawshank with Carly if she's not seen it.

James Damar

You got me excited with the title, thinking you were announcing a PiB reactors Con and we could all come say hi! :P

Roger Banks

Three Days of the Condor. Yeah. I hope she gets around to Out of Africa soon.

K, Zachary

That was the Steelers Super Bowl season the only thing I remember about the fall of 2010 was going down to New Orleans to watch the Saints play the Steelers on Halloween the Steelers losing then being so mad that I bought moonshine from some guy on the Bourbon Street (probably not the smartest idea) however I did give it a 7/10. I probably watched it during the Steelers Superbowl XLV run. Which is why I remember watching it, however having no recollection what it was about.

Dean Holt

I watched it last week and loved all of it. I’m hoping this has brought the MCU back on to the right track

Dean Holt

I’ve got the feeling you’ll be waiting quite a long time 😂😂

Cole Jennett

Is it necessary to say that before she watches it?

Cole Jennett

I’m always using my phone. iPhone though

Dean Holt

I can delete it if you like, but I don’t really think it’s giving anything away. It’s also likely both of them won’t have the same opinion.

BriGuy

How on earth did "Three Days of the Condor" win the Robert Redford poll? Off the top of my head I can think of 8 or 10 Redford movies (ones Cassie hasn't seen, I mean) that are WAY better than that absurdly-premised film.

Dk

There are still people that hate Jenny? I thought we were more nuanced than that at this point...

Mark White

Clarence, just thought of a great prezzie for Cassie. A Cannonball Run Jigsaw!!

Cole Jennett

It would be totally appropriate in the Forrest Gump comments once she’s watched it Dean, but it does set some expectations. ***Cassie if you are reading this, don’t scroll further down in this thread MAJOR spoilers***

Milton Reduxed

Jenny was molested by her movie dad and as such was a dysfunctional adult, but she was Forrest's only friend growing up, long before Forrest became rich. Would she have married Forrest if she wasn't ill? Who knows. Either way Forrest got to marry his childhood crush, Jenny's son got to have a dad, and Forrest's life continued to have purpose

Dean Holt

That’s the problem with picking movies with polls unfortunately. I’ve mentioned it before I personally feel the quality of the movie getting picked isn’t as good as it used to be just because it feels like the most films are getting selected this way now.

Mark White

I can’t believe Carly hasn’t seen Shawshank! But if she hasn’t, then that should be nailed on for the 5 year anniversary. Great idea.

Clarence Newman

Agreed. In fact, it may take a concerted merchbomb campaign to get her to crack.

Joe J

Cassie chooses around 50% of all the movies reacted to. Without monthly patron polls, her patron support would be far less IMO.

Chris Thom

Glad you got some time with friends. That sounds fun. Thank you to everyone who served in our military. Really looking forward to Forrest Gump. Been anticipating that one for a while now. Happy Fall, Kernels.

Stick Figure Studios

I didn't realize Carly hadn't seen it. That's a rewatch I would definitely get behind because I actually think Cassie herself should see it again. I think she could appreciate it even more now than she did then.

Stick Figure Studios

I'm curious what you think these 8 or 10 other Redford movies Cassie hasn't seen that are better than THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR are, because I think CONDOR Is one of his best films. That's why I voted for it in the poll. I thought it was superior to most of the other titles that were on there. Also, a) I'm not so sure it is as "absurdly-premised" as you suggest and b) even if it is, so what? Many great films have been made from stories that have absurd premises but they execute it with such intelligence and panache that they are engaging and entertaining. As Roger Ebert said, "a movie isn't about WHAT it's about, it's about HOW about it."

Bryan Erickson

Not gonna lie, excited for the Expendables reaction.

Cole Jennett

It should be a fun week of reactions

Stick Figure Studios

I love to both films, so I'd be willing to watch them again with Cassie. At this point, she has almost half a million subscribers and is a big part of the draw of the channel, so I think she can watch pretty much whatever she wants. Personally, I like to see a variety of titles: new films and older films, popular and obscure, etc

John A

Can you tell more of your reactor friends to watch Michael Douglas's The Game

Clarence Newman

While I have a small minute, I'm just going to round up a few movies Cassie has either promised to watch or come close to nearly watching and should probably revisit: THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940) - Best comedy of the black and white era. Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant star. A SHOT IN THE DARK (1964) - Clouseau unleashed! THE GREAT RACE (1965) - Tony Curtis & Jack Lemmon in the funnest road race movie outside of the Burt Reynolds gold standard. BATMAN (1966) - The original and the best. Holy oversight, Batman! COOL HAND LUKE (1967) - There are no excuses left. There are eggs to be eaten and cars to be washed. KELLY'S HEROES (1970) - Clint and Donald Sutherland in a fun war caper. KLUTE (1971) - Watch Chris McQuarrie's personal suggestion already! TOWERING INFERNO (1974) - How epic does a film need to be to get some respect around here!? INVASION OF THE BODYSNATCHERS (1978) - Good way to ease into your new "Occasional Horror throughout the year" routine. MIDNIGHT RUN (1988) - De Niro and Charles Grodin make a great pair. Good fun all round. CITY SLICKERS (1991) - Billy Crystal is on vacation! THELMA & LOUISE (1991) - Ladies! You at least have to watch the original before you star in the remake! A PERFECT WORLD (1993) - Necessary spoiler for this Costner classic - No children are abused in this movie! BATMAN FOREVER (1995) - You need to see Kilmer's stint as Brucie. LOCK STOCK & TWO SMOKING BARRELS (1998) - This will rectify the heinous error of watching Snatch before the original installment. Brilliant fun with the occasional "Oh my gosh" moment. TRAINING DAY (2001) - Denzel in iconic form. THE STATION AGENT (2003) - Tyrion Lannister in a tender little movie. More GODZILLA (she never specified which ones, but SHIN GODZILLA is apparently a good one) KING KONG (2005) - You promised. YOUR NAME (2016) - You promised. And finally......BULLITT (1968) - YOU (never) PROMISED!

Just Plain Bob

Finally, a post from Clarence that makes sense and doesn’t mention the MOVIE THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED. Yes to all of these, please.

Mike Lemon

So... how can a movie that has already been watched be spoiled?

Richard Maurer

Clarence - What are the similarities between Cassie and Ames?

Richard Maurer

Clarence I know you put the Shin Godzilla mention in there for me, and I’d be willing to let some these movies slide, even City Slickers (mostly because it’s going to get watched anyway) but I draw the line at Batman Forever. Because some crimes are just too heinous to excuse.

Joe J

I see four well known reactors have watched it, and some other smaller channels.

Joe J

You referring to Gump? Supposedly Cassie will not remember any of it...hey I believe that, lol.

Joe J

Me too. Always happy when an action movie pops up on the schedule.

Richard Maurer

For a puzzle to make money they’d need more than 2 people to buy it.

Richard Maurer

Carly hasn’t seen it. Supposedly she reads the comments, sometimes.

Jon Johns

Generally speaking, nobody likes spoilers. For anything. If folks want to discuss movies, including spoilers, we provide places for that to happen.

Jon Johns

John A, most reactors let their own audiences guide their watch schedule, not suggestions from other reactors. You can simply pitch your suggestion to them yourself, in the comments under any of their videos. Or join their Patreon, and follow their own suggestion guidelines, some have their own websites set up for tallying requests.

Jon Johns

On my android, it's long press, select all, copy. 🤷🏻

Joseph M Sica

Awwww Thanks Dave! I drink a little to much to and have seen some combat. Thankfully I didn't bring home he Demons! Semper Fi to your "Uncle!" I appreciate you taking the time to tell us all of this! I hope you and your family are doing great and living well! God Bless my friend and PIB Crew!

Clarence Newman

Sorry, Richard, that was a typo. I, of course, meant BATMAN & ROBIN (1997).

Clarence Newman

Can't we just forget about that? It was just one night and I was thinking about Cassie the whole time!

Clarence Newman

Me and Mark are willing to make the investment.

Richard Maurer

I can forget, you can forget, but can Cassie ever forget?

John A

MORE!

John A

Same way Sin City beat out Midnight Run, too many weirdos

Bryan Erickson

Same. Obviously not a genre known for sound storytelling but it usually makes for a good reaction.

Mike Lemon

There were also the ones from the Tom Cruise meet-up, Legend (pillow case), and of course the steel-toed boot to the junk, The Full Monty.

Steve Smith

If you're going to suggest "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", make it the original 1956 movie, which is far superior to the remake.

Richard Maurer

Steve - These are movies that Cassie “promised” to watch during various lives, including the ‘78 version of Body Snatchers.

Chris Thom

There's some smaller channels that have watched it. Not sure if they're still in business or not now.

Chris Thom

Supposedly there's a comic con type thing in Anaheim every year for YouTubers.

James M

Anyway... there's a scene in "Captain America: Civil War" where Tony Stark says to Bucky "Manchurian Candidate, yer killin me. There's a truce here." which is an absolutely hilarious line that you can finally appreciate.

James M

Body Snatchers is such a different movie in the remake. It would be good to see the original, but having seen one you would have little idea what it's like to see the other. I don't think either is intrinsically a better movie.

James M

"Three Days of the Condor" won because a most people disagree with you.

James M

Dean I agree: When I pick all the movies we will finally get to see reactions to good ones instead of what people like. *cough*

Clay F

I saw F1 in the theater and it was good. Frankenstein (2025) ia on my watchlist. Looks good.

Clay F

After the release of GoT S2: E7-E8 reactions tomorrow or Friday, there are 35 GoT episodes remaining = 17.5 weeks (4.0 months) remaining at 2 episodes per week. There are 4.33 weeks per month.

Clay F

Clarence -- what did you think about Ames's outro on LiT? Richard -- as you know, The Expendables is a movie w/Stallone star power. As I said in another reply, a bunch of old guys (w/no necks) punching and kicking.

Richard Maurer

Clay - I’ve seen The Expendables. Once you get past the nostalgia factor of all the 80’s-90’s action stars getting together there’s really not much there.

Paul Cox

There was a reaction to this one in October, but it looks like it's down on YT at the moment. Copyright maybe?

kaiielle

Paul, yeah a moderator mentioned in the comments on a different post that it is not visible at the moment due to copyright claims.

Clay F

+1 for THELMA & LOUISE (1991) [a top request for me] +1 for KLUTE (1971) [love Jane Fonda, plus has Donald Sutherland] +1 for A PERFECT WORLD (1993) (she said she didn’t want to see Costner kidnap a kid) +1 for THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940) [you didn’t mention Katharine Hepburn – she’s the most intriguing character in the movie to me] I prefer The Deer Hunter or The Thin Red Line over Kelly’s Heroes. I think she would like Lion (2016) better than most of the movies you list.

James Damar

True, but Cassie and Carly don't go that one, I only care about saying hi to them :P

Mark White

I think that’s the question Stick? Has Carly seen it? We don’t know, but if not, it’s a good rewatch for Jan.

Mike Lemon

@James- Well said on the deleted comment.

Richard Maurer

Polls are mostly just proof that you can’t please everyone, anytime. But personally I’m not a fan of stacked polls, polls with one or two big films that are obviously going to win - the poll with Forrest Gump and Dead Poet’s Society, for instance. Why have a poll when the outcome is virtually guaranteed?

Richard Maurer

Why does it seem that people are “setting expectations” only when they say something negative about a film or series, but not if they say something positive? If I were to say “S8 of GoT is great” isn’t that setting expectations too?

Clarence Newman

Richard - I doubt Cassie will forget it just yet, but as soon as she bops over to Kat's channel for a sneaky carpet picnic, I'll be back in the ball game. Also, you're spot on about The Expendables. Nostalgia for those of us who grew up with those guys in their prime is its biggest draw. It's why I think Cassie will enjoy it. Clay - I didn't watch Ames's LIT reaction. Just the full Cool Hand Luke reaction. I watched the outro just now, and clearly Ames got that film. I think Cassie got it too, but it was nice to see how much it affected Ames. Pretty much everything Sofia Coppola intended hit her the right way.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - “Nostalgia for those of us who grew up with those guys….is its biggest draw. It’s why I think Cassie will enjoy it”. So Cassie grew up watching those guys? That’s exactly why I think she won’t enjoy it. Other than Stallone and maybe Dolf Lundgren, I doubt she’ll recognize any of them.

Clarence Newman

It has Jason Statham aswell and she knows him, but as Clay said, it's got STALLONE star power and she loves Stallone. Throw in the other old farts and she'll at least have fun with it.

Clarence Newman

Though watching it does mean she'll recognise Cordelia if she ever reacts to Buffy.

Richard Maurer

Sure, whatever. It’s not a particularly good film even if you’ve seen a bunch of those guys films. If you haven’t (like Cassie hasn’t) it’s got next to nothing going for it.

Clarence Newman

Heads up, mate. I got made redundant out of the blue today. Bit of a bombshell to say the least. If I'm not around for a while, you'll know why.

Richard Maurer

Sorry to hear that, brother. Eventually they’ll make everyone “redundant”then wonder where all their customers went. Take care and good luck.

Dean Holt

Well said, I put something negative about Forrest Gump yesterday which I didn’t think spoiled anything. Which got moaned about. But the main reaction has been put up today so Carly got to have watched it before I commented anyway. But tbh I’ve cancelled my subscription again as I’m just going to see if the movies pick up a bit over the next couple of months.

Dean Holt

Sorry Joe, but I thought it used to be like that as I thought Cassie did a great job of balancing out the genres. But since around April May time it’s felt like about 80% is getting pick by polls. To which we seem to be getting lots of Drama/Thrillers. And less of others things like comedies as the last one before Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was probably Beverly Hills Cop which was 4 or 5 months ago. I also can’t remember the last time we had a Sports movie, something we used to get at least one every couple of months or even every month.

Richard Maurer

Funny how people seem to know what number of subscribers is enough for Cassie. And think she can just watch whatever she wants. Maybe she wants a million subscribers. Who knows? That’s her business, not ours. But clearly she cares about YouTube and how well her videos do there. If she didn’t why even bother with it? YT is a lot of hassle - editing, copyright problems, etc. it must be still important to her or she’d just quit and do Patreon only. I’d say Cassie has more leeway in regard to what she watches than many smaller scale reactors but still needs to be mindful of how her videos do on YT.

Just Plain Bob

There’s a definite push to ONLY say positive things about the films and tv shows on offer. Unless Cassie doesn’t like them, then it’s her opinion and has to be respected. Not saying Cassie does this but some of the mods and other patrons definitely do. Apparently the ridiculous mantra “don’t yuck my yum” only goes in one direction.

Richard Maurer

Bob - because the rules are that they can’t just flat out say “ don’t be negative!” They’ve now switched to pretending that being negative is the same as a spoiler. Except that doesn’t make any sense. Besides the fact that it makes being positive equally a “spoiler” it also makes film criticism impossible. You literally can’t dislike or like anything without “setting expectations”.

Christian Becker

Shin Godzilla is "different", but I personally like it a lot.

Mark White

I think for me, it’s very rare i say something that is a Spoiler. But if I do feel a need to talk about a plot point, I will right SPOILER………… Then a Gap. Gives other Patreons/Cassie a chance to stop reading.

Mark White

You have a heck of a memory Clarence to remember all those promises?! But I trust you must be right. Loads of good movies there. I think the two I most would like Cassie to watch in that list is Kelly’s hero’s and Lock Stock. May I also say, Cassie also wrote on a comment to me on the true events pole, she had voted for “The Insider” so it’s gotta be watched! 😉

Mark White

Mike, careful mentioning the FM movie round here! You will start a riot! 😆

Mike Lemon

I think we all know the answers to your questions. We all remember "Pollception" and the unholy freakout about not liking something, and "Pick-a-Flick" and how differently people on each side of the argument were treated.

Mark White

Love that movie. I must of watched Cassie and Carly (YT) reaction 30 times already!

James M

Since you asked, most of the negative comments just seem like people being whiny about movies and actors they don't like. I find very little discussion about performances, writing, directing, cinematography. Instead comments read like "oh that actor is a terrible person" or "that's the worst movie of it's kind" or other random judgmental remarks that honestly people *should* just keep to themselves. And yes if you say "That's the best movie of it's kind" you've added just as little to the conversation but at least you weren't rude when saying it. If someone has a genuine objection to a movie related to directing, acting, writing, cinematography then I'm going to give them a lot of leeway to say it. If they come out with "I wish Tom Hanks was as good a person as Forest Gump" I'm more than happy for them to be told they should be quiet.

Richard Maurer

Well some people like to call any comments they disagree with whiny, but I do see what you’re saying. However, I’ve been told (by Ben) you’re allowed to have negative opinions, even ones as simplistic as “this movie sucks”. While I generally don’t do that, I don’t always want to write a detailed criticism either. But anyway, that doesn’t change that the fact that “setting expectations” applies equally to positive and negative comments and itherefore should not be considered an offense of any kind.

Mark White

Just a quickie message to the YT overloads. I’m missing a few of my Favourite YT edits: Indiana jones Raiders of the Lost Ark. Star Trek Next Generation: Season 2 key episodes Season 7 key episodes part 2 Please return 🙏 Thank you. 🙂

Catherine LW

I didn’t hate Jenny but she frustrated me a lot. Some people are their own worst enemy.

Catherine LW

Ugh, Richard! Don’t ruin Christmas!

Richard Maurer

Catherine - one non-saccharine Christmas movie couldn’t hurt, could it?

Catherine LW

No!!!!! And not all Christmas movies are saccharine sweet.

Richard Maurer

Cassie’s watched all the non-saccharine X-mas movies. ;-)

Bill W

If it's listed above as "coming this week", it had likely already been watched, maybe even edited.

Mike Lemon

Then riot! The movie should be watched. The lack of Joe Cross being on the Pick-a-Flick since should be proof that despite what so many said, he cared about what happened.

Cole Jennett

That’s not true Bill. The upcoming often comes out before she has watched anything that week.

LukeG84

Super excited to see Cassie's reaction to The Expendables. I'd say it's a coin toss whether she'll enjoy it or not, but it's going to be a fun watch along for us though, that's for sure. 🍿

Chris Thom

I could've sworn Arnold had a cameo in that. But I don't see him in the poster.

LukeG84

Sorry, no spoilers rule so I can neither confirm nor deny. 😉 Will be interesting to see how many a-listers Cassie recognises though.

John A

You were right, but a cameo doesn't get you on a poster

John A

Yeah congrats you're so different

Joe J

Cassie claims to like action movies.

Joe J

When a bigger channel watches something, other channels follow...sometimes. I've seen it happen many times.

John A

Yeah I can only stomach maybe 4 or 5 reactors and sadly I believe only Cassie has seen The Game out of them

Richard Maurer

If Cassie likes this movie it won’t be because of nostalgia over the former action stars. I’ll be surprised if she knows more than a few of them. It’s not like she was watching action movies in the 80’s-90’s.

Clay F

Movies (before reaction) and Series (before S1E1 reaction) Before the reaction (e.g., especially when the movie is a poll choice), I've often made generic comments directed to the movie as a whole (or could make generic comments directed to a series as a whole), such as "X is a bad movie" or "Y is a bad series" or "I don't like X" or "X is a great movie" or "I love Y." If any of those are an expectation spoiler, then might as well shutdown (disable) the comments. There is absolutely no difference between positive vs negative in this context. Movies (after reaction) and Series (after episode reaction) Writing a negative comment about the movie (which I often do) including about specifics after the reaction (or about a series episode after the reaction) is not an expectation spoiler. After all, the content has already been reacted to. For patrons wanting to avoid spoilers about movie or present/past episodes, they should have the courtesy (and sense) not to read the after-reaction comments.

Clay F

During the GoT S1E1 reaction intro, Cassie asked that in the comments, no expectation be set about future episodes. You could ask to debate her, but I think we should honor her request. Thus, w/series - differentiating between future episodes (or future seasons) vs past episodes (or past seasons) is expectation unwanted by Cassie. For instance, expectation spoiler to her is saying S8 [yet to be watched] is the best season of the series -- S8 is such stellar content in that it dwarfs S1-S7. Another example is expectation comment about a character, for instance: "He is great now, but in future episodes, he becomes a jerk." A series different animal than movie. While for both series and movies, you can comment on the content as a whole, the general rule for series is to never comment on future episodes, only present/past episodes. Again, Cassie herself specifically requested no expectation comments about future episodes.

Richard Maurer

Clay - someone saying they don’t like a series, or even a particular season or episode of a series, is NOT setting a expectation, and as long as they don’t go into specifics it’s not a spoiler either. The complaint many have here is that only negative comments are targeted. Talking about GoT, you’re free to say I love this series, season,episode. Only people making negative comments, particularly about a certain season or episode, are told they’re supposedly “setting expectations”. I really don’t have a horse in this race. I mostly stopped talking about GoT before it aired. But saw the comments and just wondered why the this “rule” wasn’t applied equally to the positive comments? Also the “setting expectations” excuse has started to creep into movie comments, in this very upcoming post.

John A

Luckily for us reaction channels aren't about picking movies we think they'll like. Logan was a perfect example, knew they wouldn't like it but it made for a great reaction. I just think some people get a little too hung up on whether or not they think Cassie will like a movie and it affects their poll decisions. Expendables is a near mindless action movie, and it never pretended to be anything different, but there is a small romance subplot so who knows maybe she'll like it! But that's irrelevant really

Clay F

Richard -- as for GoT, so are you saying to ignore Cassie's personal request? Setting an expectation about a future episode with no specifics is an expectation spoiler to her. For example, "you are going to love the next episode" or "you are going to hate the next episode" -- with no specifics. You could ask to debate her or persuade her otherwise. She doesn't want a comment saying a future season or future episode is better or worse. She doesn't want differentiating between future episodes/seasons vs past episodes/seasons. She herself requested that. Moreover, she didn't say anything about positive or negative. I agree that there is no difference in saying S8 is the best or saying S8 is the worst. Both should be flagged in an effort to honor Cassie's request.

Joe J

October scary season was certainly a mixed bag with YT views, with some films getting good engagement and others struggling. Most channels do horror throughout the year, and I'm hoping Cassie will do likewise for the most part. Spreading out horror reactions would be easier on Cassie also, and she has mentioned this on occasion. Maybe a dedicated October scary season just isn't really a thing anymore. It isn't for many channels.

Richard Maurer

Clay - No, of course I’m not saying to ignore Cassie. I’m just saying this rule should be enforced on positive comments too. No saying “ l love this - season - episode- show until those things have gone past. No setting expectations - negative or POSITIVE.

Richard Maurer

I’ve noticed a drop in numbers for all the channels I watch recently, whether they watch horror or not. YouTube (allegedly) no longer counting views from people who use ad-blockers is the most likely culprit. While not proven there’s apparently quite a bit of evidence they started doing this in August.

John A

Well I guess Cassie isn't getting my views then. Sorry girl but there's no way in hell I'm letting these greedy scumbags shove endless ads down my throat

Joe J

Views don't seem to be affected on some channels I follow, Jen Murray for instance. But this adblocker thing must be having some impact for sure. I've read that as many as 50% of YT viewers may use adblockers.

John A

Certain browsers like Brave do it nowadays without even needing an extension so I wouldn't be surprised if that's true

Rakesh

The expendables series makes me sad. There was a time when I was younger I would have loved to see all the action movies stars together but this series makes me weep. Still on the upside I hope Cassie delves a bit more into some of the actors filmography like jet li. Tango and cash and Universal Solder should be a good ones as it's a two for one. Don't think he was part of this ensemble but Segal's Under Siege is a great movie. But I give JCVD the better back catalogue of action movies to watch.

Rakesh

Ad blockers? Interesting. I've also noticed a slower climb to 100,000 views. Some movies not getting there been after a month, however GOT seems to. Which underlines the benefits of a fandom

Richard Maurer

Well if was fixed in September then there must some other reason I’m not seeing numbers going back up to the numbers from before the drop off.

Rakesh

Always a good idea to have a backup plan.

kaiielle

There could be many reasons as to why. I was just addressing the ad-block thing specifically.

Oisin Clissmann

I know! It has been my Friday evening entertainment for the last few weeks. I need my weekly GoT fix :D

Clay F

GoT may be later in the week than typical b/c Forrest Gump was the first reaction this week.

VOCFM

Clay has been a fool towards me the last day as well, and is a busy body if we are being honest, I have him blocked

VOCFM

The answer is some people have nothing better to do but live on the channel and police comments LOL

Joe J

I'm always happy to get any action films on the channel. Under Seige has been my monthly PAF for awhile now.

Joe J

I hope we get a Pollception Poll and a Popcorn Requests random drawing next month. I like these every month. As an alternative, Cassie could do a Movie Brackets Poll, we haven't had one in awhile.

Joe J

YT viewers will be sad to not get the episode drop on Sunday. Tbh, I assumed Cassie had a back-up YT editor when situations arise.

Mike Lemon

Maverick was the last bracket, right? (outside of March Madness)

Byrd N. Hand

YT is the only site for which I don't apply my ad-blocker. I want the channels I follow to get maximum profit from this platform. More than anything, my issue is that there are getting to be too goddamn many ads that exceed 2½ minutes... and the fact that I'm now getting whole f**king podcasts as ads is frankly inexcusable. 😒

Byrd N. Hand

As with any fairly long-running TV series of movie franchise, I feel there are always going to be people who have different 'cutoff points' for them... and some are more ruthless than others, making no room for any remotely potential 'benefit-of-the-doubt' watches. If I personally had my way, Cassie would've already watched the third "Godfather," "Terminator," and "Matrix" movies... and wouldn't have bothered with any of the Di$ney Star Wars or "Jurassic World" movies. 🤷‍♂️

James English

please watch the snapper, best irish movie ever and second best comedy of all time

thomasbjerke

GoT drops on fridays now it's sunday!! I’m gonna crash out

kaiielle

Joe - I assume that Ben is the backup editor, as he was the one who edited the reactions when Cassie first started and he still puts the watchalongs together. He's probably not as quick as Matt is though, hence the delay.

Tyler Lathrop

I’d do anything for a GoT episode tonight

Stan the Man

What’s going on with the full GOT reaction?

Mike Lemon

It's being/has been watched, some life may get in the way or the video may get corrupted, Ben Popcorn will do some editing, the video will be uploaded, Patreon will do their thing, then it will be posted. The same as every other reaction.

Stan the Man

We both will never got those precious seconds back reading that. I have an excuse why I wasted my time reading it since it set off a notification. But you? Instead of being just generally unhelpful and unpleasant, what are you doing? Very weird dude. You’ve responded to two comments I wrote looking for clarity on this. Neither were helpful or warranted.

Mike Lemon

Fine. More clarity- they will be uploaded when they are uploaded. Cassie doesn't have a set schedule. That is why the "Upcoming" posts say "this week" and not - "Thursday 20:00 UTC - X Saturday 20:00 - Y Sunday 20:00 - Z" - for the reactions.

Stan the Man

You’re still going? How dull life must be for you that you spend it endlessly wasting people’s time. You have kids? A dog? Cat? Goldfish? Go. Spend time with them. Thank me later. Better yet. Don’t.

Cole Jennett

Game of Thrones has come out on Thursday/Friday every week since it began (save for one week off in October). That is as consistent of a reaction schedule as she has ever had. It is a fair question. Stan, as I think you have now seen, she expects the reaction to come out today but even that is subject to change. Hopefully, but no guarantee.

John

MIke, if you don't have any helpful information, be silent. There's enough rudeness and hate in the world without you having to add to it.

Mike Lemon

Before I forget- my suggestion for Christmas (same as last year) - A "watch slot" for TV Christmas specials. I recommend - ALF s02e12 and e13 (Christmas special - 47 minutes) MASH s09e05 (Death Takes a Holiday - 25 minutes) Ally McBeal s02e10 (Making Spirits Bright - 43 minutes) That's 1 hour 55 minutes and will get the Scrooge-iest heart into Christmas. And as a bonus - Black Mirror s02e04 (White Christmas - 1 hour 15 minutes) note - Black Mirror is never "happy" but it does make you think. All four is basically a Lord of the Rings movie in run time, are basically stand alone episodes and you don't need to know anything about the shows other than ALF is an alien who lives with the Tanners, and it introduces Cassie (and possibly Carly) to three series for their downtime series consideration (don't watch episode 1 of Black Mirror until later, if ever).

Mike Lemon

@ John - Helpful? I answered the question with the only answer there is. Sorry you don't like it.

Milton Reduxed

This is the foolishness to which men are reduced to keep themselves occupied when reactions run late

kaiielle

Neat idea. White Christmas is my favourite Black Mirror episode.

Clay F

+1 for MASH s09e05 (Death Takes a Holiday - 25 minutes) +1 for Ally McBeal s02e10 (Making Spirits Bright - 43 minutes)

Rakesh

I previously have commented that a surplus batch of reactions should be made for situations exactly like this.

Rakesh

My suggestion has been to watch Home Alone. Yes it will Be a rewatch. But it's rewatched by people every year. It's a perpetual evergreen holiday movie, that will gain views every year. It ticks all the boxes of this channel. Hell next year watch home alone 2!

Milton Reduxed

@ Rakesh, I personally favour PiB taking a week off posting to get a week ahead of the schedule, get reactions in the can a week early to be able to upload on specific days—say Thurs, Sat, Sun, as I enjoy the surety

Chris Thom

LOVE that Ally McBeal episode. Wow I haven't heard anyone mention that since the 90's. It's so good though.

Rakesh

What's the first best comedy of all time?
