JohnnyUtah

And the winner is...

Joshua Campbell

I recommend Fantastic Four First Steps (Pedro Pascal) & Mission Impossible Final Reckoning (Tom Cruise) with Carly. It's on Disneyplus & Paramount Plus

Vlad D

Where did you go. Sike

Richard Maurer

Last Dragon……so Cassie’s going to experience a so bad it’s good movie, or maybe her second so bad it’s bad movie along with Howard the Duck.

To Wa

Please add Spielberg's "1941" to your modern Christmas poll.

Milton Reduxed

Next month will be the anniversary of the 1st draw

Mark Vaderr

The Last Dragon. Never heard of it.

Clay F

"The Last Dragon is a flamboyant genre mashup brimming with style, romance, and an infectious fondness for kung fu, but audiences may find the tonal whiplash more goofy than endearing." She said she reacting to Fantastic Four in January.

To Wa

"On The Beach" (1959) would be a good addition to the Australia poll.

Richard Maurer

Did she? My phone cut out a couple of times, I must have missed it.

MrKsummer7

🙄 Sorry, but not wasting 107 minutes of my life on Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon.

Just Plain Bob

Never heard of The Last Dragon but I see that it co-stars Julius Carry, Lord Bowler from The Adventures of Brisco County Jr, so I’m on board.

Mike Redford

Again, hope you get well soon Cass. Sickness during the holidays is "SHO 'NUFF" a shame.

Clay F

Yep, she said FF in Jan. She also said a buddy cop poll in January.

Mike Lemon

Yes! The Shogun of Harlem!

Clay F

Suggestions for AUSTRALIA POLL: 1. Lion (2016). IMDb 8. Dev Patel, Rooney Mara, Nicole Kidman. Uplifting true story. “Let's just say if you are human ... no way that Lion won't move you.” Nom 6 Oscars incl. Best Picture. Gorgeous cinematography. As you know, on your Mom's list. 2. Sweet Country (2017) [RT=96%]. Set in 1929 in Australia. 3. The Sapphires (2013) (comedy) based on true story. Uplifting. RT=91%. 4. Gallipoli (1981). You mentioned. A young Mel Gibson. RT=91%. Golden Globe nominee for Best Foreign Film. Nom 12 Australian Film Institute awards. Won 8 including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor (Mel Gibson). 5. Animal Kingdom (2010) (thriller) [RT=94%]. Gritty Australian crime drama. Jackie Weaver (the mom in Silver Linings Playbook) nom for Oscar. The movie nominated for 19 Australian Film Institute awards. Won 10 including Best Film. 6. The Dressmaker (2015). Kate Winslet. Liam Hemsworth.

Richard Maurer

Sounds good, FF anyway. Don’t really care about the buddy cop poll.

Just Plain Bob

Suggestions for Australian movie poll: *Patrick (learn where QT got the idea for having The Bride spit periodically while comatose in Kill Bill) *Razorback (Jaws, but it’s a giant feral pig) *Wake in Fright (psychological thriller/drama about a teacher’s detour on the way to his new assignment) *Stunt Rock (2 hrs of Australian stunt work set to a rock ‘n roll soundtrack) *Roadgames (stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Stacy Keach; almost certainly the inspiration for The Hitcher) *Next of Kin (QT has compared it favorably to The Shining; I don’t think it’s THAT good, but it is damn good) *Dark Age (giant croc) *Undead (the best Aussie zombie film ever made; funny, not scary) *Rogue (another giant croc) *Long Weekend (don’t disrespect Mother Nature or her children)

Happy Hanukkah

Cassie will be so inspired by the movie that she will go on to watch the Shogun miniseries. The new one. :-P

Clay F

I submitted "Capote" (2005) (Phillip Seymour Hoffman won Best Actor Oscar) for my December PAF entry.

Clay F

+1 for the new one [IMDb 8.6, RT 99%]. Hiroyuki Sanada is great. Only 10 episodes. Cassie could complete the reaction in 5 weeks.

KyloJames

When will “Children of Men” win?! 😩😩

Mike Lemon

"Shogun miniseries. The new one." Don't you dare bring that curse down on me. The 2024 series sucks... well, unless you know nothing about the story, then it is middling.

Robert da Spruce

I like The Last Dragon! But a lot of that is nostalgia I think it’s one of “had to be there” movies. I fear seeing it for the first time in the present day may not have the same impact Who knows. Maybe Cassie will enjoy it!

Shehab Dawoud

Never heard of that movie, but just reading about it, it sounds like a Patreon exclusive reaction.

KyloJames

That’d be a sick rewatch. I haven’t seen it in so long, PSH’s best role imo. That, and Doubt.

Mike Lemon

Dang it! We were only 18 away (I think that is when I "popped") from watching the best movie nobody has seen.

Happy Hanukkah

And my perennial tongue-in-cheek* recommendation for best Aussie movie ever: Fair Game (1986). Oi, Oi, Oi! ("Tongue-in-cheek" because I realize how ludicrous it is to employ the limiting adjective "Aussie" when this movie is indubitably the greatest accomplishment in all cinematic history.)

Just Plain Bob

I just watched the trailer for The Last Dragon and, OMG, it looks fantastic! Like a mashup of Miami Connection and Black Dynamite, except it preceded both. I may have to buy and watch it before Cassie’s reaction. PS: Correction. It’s selling for only $1 more than the rental so I splurged. Can’t wait to watch it.

Clay F

Yeah, Doubt was good.

Happy Hanukkah

More seriously, set slightly south of Gallipoli is The Lighthorsemen (1987). I'll admit that all I've seen of this movie is one scene, but it's one of the best of its kind. (Roger Ebert: "I haven't seen a better action scene with horses since Ben Hur.") I hope to watch it in cinematic quality someday.

Shad Kanyak

Huh, I think Cassie may hate this one. This is kinda of a had to be there type of situation. Total 80’s cheesy nostalgia.

Bill W

Womp womp. Another nostalgia based pick. 🫤

Mark Vaderr

Cassie likes Twilight, what's worse than that?

Paul Cox

There was a specific sort of kid who was really into The Last Dragon in the 1980s. I wasn't that kid. I was friends with some of those kids, but not besties or anything lol.

Mark Vaderr

Rogue (2007) Why not? Good creature flick. The Pirate Movie (1982) Tell me that this doesn't have "Cassie" written all over it.

Mark Vaderr

I second, "Rogue" good creature flick. And again, "The Pirate Movie" was specially made for Cassie!

Clay F

The other day when she did random selections from PR 1-50 for poll candidates, before she started, she said she hoped Children of Men would be picked. I was like great = she mentioned Children of Men -- it is on her radar. Children of Men is No. 4 at PR. Should eventually end up in a poll. Not sure when. City Slickers is No. 3 and being reacted to, so Children of Men will move up to No. 3. When movies get that high at PR, have a decent chance to be reacted to -- somehow, some way -- especially with it being on her radar.

Richard Maurer

Never watched Twilight except some clips, but I’m betting I’ve seen worse.

KyloJames

Fantastic news!! Honestly, it’s the most endearing type of movie she has yet to see, and I really think she’s going to take away the same appreciation for it that most of us have. Very timely, engrossing and a beautiful conclusion. I’m looking forward to her reaction!

Richard Maurer

Bob - it’s often considered a ‘so bad it’s good movie’ or just a really bad movie, depending on on who you ask, if that tells you anything.

Just Plain Bob

That’s what I gathered from the trailer. I love “so bad it’s good” movies. Miami Connection, Street Trash, Bloody Moon, Pieces, etc. It requires a certain aesthetic and can’t veer into “so bad it’s just plain bad” territory (Howard the Duck) but, within certain parameters, I’m a fan of “bad cinema.”

Clay F

I was 22 and got married in 1985 when The Last Dragon was released. I don't remember the movie. I avoided martial arts movies. The only martial arts stuff I liked back then was the Kung Fu TV series (which I loved as a kid in the 1970s). But I plan to watch the full reaction. Will stream movie on Amazon Prime Video.

Richard Maurer

HH - I’m afraid Cassie will be “inspired” to never watch another martial arts movie.

Mike Lemon

Almost an Angel (1990) - while not an "Australian movie", it does star Paul Hogan and it has a scene that changed my entire outlook on life.

Just Plain Bob

I haven’t seen it. I almost threw in a couple of New Zealand flicks I like (Bad Taste, Braindead and World’s Fastest Indian) to tweak any NZ patrons but thought better of it.

Steve Holton

Philip Ahn, Master Kan in the Kung Fu series, was a great restauranter and showman. When little kids would visit his restaurant in the San Fernando Valley, he would approach them toward the end of their family's meal and say: "As quickly as you can, snatch the pebble from my hand" Then after a few tries he'd let the kids snatch the pebble and then he'd say, "Time for you to leave"😊

Lukas

won't be watching this one

Clay F

What a great story.

Lukas

That would be a good watch. I havent seen it since it released, but i remember enjoying it. PSH was such a great actor. Wish he was still with us

Larry Darrell

The Quest aka Frog Dreaming (1986)

Clay F

2025 PiB highlights for me include Outlaw Josey Wales (to start off the year), Planet of the Apes (1968) (Cassie/Carly got it), Sicario, Cold Mountain, The Searchers (like the way Cassie quasi-mocked John Wayne), the true events stretch [e.g., Charlie Wilson’s War (2007), etc.], The Pianist (2002), Bridge of Spies (2015) (awesome Spielberg), Sin City (2005) (Marv a great character), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) (tough but great reaction), and a couple of good PAF wins. Also, the string of good October movies [e.g., compare awesome Nosferatu (2024) to mindless Blade last year] and Forrest Gump (big time rewatch success). But the true star of the year for me is her invested reactions to GoT = elevated (improved) 2025 for sure. Lastly, an asterisk is I liked Twins better than expected.

Rene G.

Now that she seen expendables, might I suggest The One with Jet Li, Transporter movies, Crank 1-2 stuff, Death Race as well? should be fun too

Mike Lemon

+1 for The One, The Transporter 1, and Crank 1.

Rene G.

Transporter 2 was my fave due to that certain blondie model assassin kicking his ass. lol.

Chris Thom

Crank is such a Carly movie.

Cole Jennett

Perhaps we can remember that the winner is probably super excited that their movie was chosen after waiting for it for a long long time. Much like many of you would be if your movie had been chosen. Let’s keep that in mind if your first thought is to criticize the choice.

Chris Thom

Last Dragon sounds RAD. Maybe a correct choice of the word 'rad', maybe not, but this time seems appropriate. I've never seen this, but I think I had the NES game? If that was this thing? It was rad. Anyways, Happy Christmas.

Chris Retzlaff

The Last Dragon...thats hilarious 😂 😃....you have to watch Im gonna git you sucka afterwards

Larry Darrell

Did anyone else notice some names were in the frying pan multiple times? One name in particular, I saw about 5 times.

Larry Darrell

You’re a moderator now ain’t ya? Did you notice there were repeat names in the frying pan? One name in particular. Very evident near the end. If there’s a reason, then there’s a reason. Just curious if anyone was aware. 🤷‍♂️

Johnny Bullis

Wow.. great choice.. I cant wait to see her reaction.. one of my favorite cult classics.

Mike Lemon

Interesting. I do see one that is pretty obvious from the beginning. How many did you see?

James M

I have never heard of it. Tubi has it for free so I skimmed through it in 30-40 minutes. William H. Macy has a part in it and easily turns in the best performance of the movie. I get the feeling this is a "how funny would it be to make Cassie watch this" submission.

Mike Lemon

There was no Last Dragon NES game. Perhaps you're thinking of The Last Ninja? Or maybe Double Dragon?

Happy Hanukkah

I've actually seen much more of the sequel series, "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues." With "The Ancient" being played by the bloody marvelous Kim Chan!

Larry Darrell

Well, I did only notice one for sure upon twice viewing. Assumed there could be more. If it is only the one name repeated… well then that seems odd. Did this person have anything to do with it? I don’t know. It’s worth looking into. Intentional or not, this Draw doesn’t appear to be kosher. ( I hate being this guy, but…)

Happy Hanukkah

And after seeing Clive Owen in it, maybe she'll move on to King Arthur (2004). :-)

Happy Hanukkah

"thought better of it" Huh? Isn't New Zealand one of the Australian states, much as Canada and the United States?

Happy Hanukkah

Now that I think of it, there were some recommendations that Cassie engage in "inspiration" before/while watching 2001.

Chris Thom

Double Dragon! That's it. That one was a movie too I think. Almost certain.

Chris Thom

Watched Nosferatu again last week. Really is quite good. I don't usually rewatch something this soon, but I really think that might be a modern classic for horror.

Mike Lemon

Yes, Alyssa Milano is in it.

Dave

It was noticed and is being addressed.

Chris Thom

Who's the Boss was one of the first TV shows I watched every week. And Hey Dude. And Duck Tales, And the one with the detective chipmunks. She was super cute.

YodatheHobbit

Hope you watch the animated Disney Christmas Carol movie next year. That's my original childhood "memories unlocked" version.

MrKsummer7

Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon is one of those DVDs you would find in the bargain bin at Blockbuster—a 3-pack deal for $1.00. Includes Mac and Me, plus your choice of the following: Caddyshack II, Jaws 3-D, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, or Leonard Part 6. 👎

MrKsummer7

You know why they never made a sequel to this film?

Clarence Newman

it was Celeste, though. No way she cheated.

Larry Darrell

Doubtful, I agree. If you were cheating, why use your name over and over. But if someone had multiple entries, multiple kernels in the pot, then this would throw off the fair odds, I’m thinking. This is my main takeaway from the whole thing.

Rene G.

Cradle 2 the grave as well!!

Nick Ireland

Muriel's Wedding or Strictly Ballroom for Australia day. Chopper would make a great reaction too.

Mannygogou

I used to get sick twice a year and then I don't get sick anymore. There are a couple of tricks and one of them is never touch your face. Your hands will have all kinds of stuff, pathogens. Oh the 2 of three things is to wash your hands often, think if it like a shower for your hands. ** Wow!, that table spread was awesome! -- yes could hear you, but then it was dark. sometimes throwing up is good for you, I have some frozen? bean burritos that I wish I could eat... how the heck do I cook these without the outside turning rock hard? (my old way is to wrap it in paper towel and spray it with water then microwave, I'll try) different cameras will see red differently, looks like magenta, it's probably optimized for blue sky maybe or vice versa Cassie is so tech savvy now I feel Has anyone seen Meet John Doe? The other Frank Capra movie, less known to It's A Wonderful Life.

Mannygogou

I always recommend Strictly Ballroom (Edit - "you know the Pasa Doble? Show me your Pasa Doble...")

Mannygogou

Oh? The Last Dragon... I was thinking hard... then saw the cover... ah yes, i do remember that movie, now _that_ is a rare one. I'm sure I never watched it. It should be fun. (Edit - haha lol, he will stick around to see the reaction for sure...! If he hears about it. As for me I haven't submitted a movie for a while now - I'm saving my one movie, lol to savor it well... 🙂)

Mannygogou

yes the game is a different "dragon" thing. This movie I feel is like from Electric Boogaloo era... lol

Björn Karlsson

She mentioned my name when it was like 10 kernels left, but I could't see my name in the pan 🤔😃 I think I need to see it on a bigger screen 🙂🙂

Josh T

I missed the drawing but was very surprised to see that my pick won. I hope you all enjoy the movie and reaction.

Dave

Congratulations on the win!

bgb1975 (Brian)

Yeah....congrats.....ya lucky sunuva...... ;)

Clarence Newman

Swedish kernels may get blocked in the US, Bjorn.

Clarence Newman

And I think there was one guy a few months ago who literally had 11 entries in the list, all with the same name. That was deliberate, but this one seems like a glitch.

Clarence Newman

Damn autocorrect! I have retroactively adjusted your nationality and I beg your forgiveness. I grew up as a fan of Bjorn Borg too, so duuuuhhhh!

Björn Karlsson

Hehe Björn Borg's wife is from the town where I live - Mjölby 😁😁

Clarence Newman

+1 for those who have actually seen that movie.

Richard Maurer

Bob - I too enjoy so bad it’s good movies. But for me, from what I’ve seen of Last Dragon ( never made it through the whole movie) is more Howard the Duck, less Birdemic. It’s a higher budget film that made me cringe more than laugh. But that’s my personal take, I’ll be interested in your opinion of it, and I may (depending on if I can find it streaming for free) try to do the watchalong with Cassie, as I’m curious what she’ll make of it.

Richard Maurer

Captain Picard is not a fan of Bjorn Borg

Richard Maurer

I really need to watch these on my laptop. My eyes aren’t good enough anymore to read the names until it’s almost over.

Clarence Newman

"I was rooting for you, Richard." Now, that would be a lie.

Richard Maurer

Cole - this movie is widely considered to be a ‘so bad it’s good’ or at the very least, cheesy movie. I’d be very surprised if the person who picked it wasn’t already aware of that. In fact that may be why he picked it. But even if this is somehow the first he’s hearing of that fact, for the rest of us who know of the film it’s common knowledge. This movie was even in the first (and only) martial arts poll, where its validity was widely questioned (including by yours truly) and while it had its supporters, none made any serious claim that it was a great film. In fact the supporters seemed to be mainly supporting because it is “bad” (or cheesy, or whatever you want to call it).

Richard Maurer

Bob - thought the same about Peter Jackson’s NZ horror films but was afraid of offending the ‘Aussie’s’.

Mike Lemon

Bjorn- From the starting "pan", start at 6 o'clock and move counter clockwise- the (jumble of letters)ON above TURNER is you. You were the 16-ish one popped. The one at the end was Buran. And I saw another name to add to the list. Nick Ireland was in at least twice.

Richard Maurer

I wouldn’t say that about you!…….because I don’t like to lie.

John A

Good grief

John A

Rad is far from the word that I would use to describe this movie

John A

You might be the most sensitive wimp in history my god

John A

Her next Stallone movie has to be Cop Land

Cole Jennett

In history?😂 If considering others is wimpy, I will own it.

Steve Holton

Congratulations Josh! It popped out of the Pick-a-Flick pan with a golden glow 😊

Steve Holton

Meet John Doe is a great film. Would be nice to have Gary Cooper debut on PIB.

Just Plain Bob

It was only $4.99 to buy so I did. The trailer looked like a mashup of Miami Connection and Black Dynamite, both of which I love. Though I love “so bad it’s good” movies, if they miss that mark even a little bit, they can be just terrible. We’ll see.

Just Plain Bob

Josh, I’m looking forward to watching it. Never seen it before but the trailer was a hoot.

Larry Darrell

+1 for Meet John Doe (1941) for Christmas.

Byrd N. Hand

How about "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert;" "Picnic at Hanging Rock;" or "A Cry in the Dark"?

Byrd N. Hand

You mean "Mickey's Christmas Carol"?

Byrd N. Hand

... which is why I don't know why some people insist on suggesting extremely niche titles. I personally prefer to try and help keep Patreon exclusives for reactors to an absolute bare minimum. 🤷‍♂️

Björn Karlsson

Romper stomper - 1992 (With a young Russel Crowe) 😃

Above Average Dave

One of the films that shows Gary Cooper could act when he had a mind to ditch the stoic, wooden-guy persona. And, Frank Capra rarely disappoints.

Above Average Dave

And those kids now all think Nickelback is the greatest band ever.

Byrd N. Hand

It's his best *leading* role, anyway (unless you'd consider his role in "The Master" a co-lead with Joaquin Phoenix). But was usually more fun to watch in supporting roles, such as "Boogie Nights," "The Big Lebowski," "Happiness," "The Talented Mr. Ripley, and "Punch-Drunk Love," among others.

Clarence Newman

Romper Stomper is grim, but Russell Crowe's star potential is right there on screen. I also need to point out that zero votes for Croc Dundee 3 is both ageist and irrelevant-sequelist.

Byrd N. Hand

I feel at least one Peter Weir film needs to be included. I'd gravitate toward "Gallipoli," but since it doesn't actually take place in Australia, maybe "Picnic at Hanging Rock" or the highly underrated "The Last Wave" instead. "Walkabout" should also be there, as well as maybe "A Cry in the Dark" and/or "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert." I'm sure Cassie would love "Muriel's Wedding" the most. Or perhaps a collab with Mary Cherry on something? 🤔 I still wish she'd bring "Rabbit-Proof Fence" to YT... 😕

Byrd N. Hand

I nominate "Walkabout," "Picnic at Hanging Rock," and "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert."

Shehab Dawoud

I mean I get it, my pick also isn’t a mainstream one. But If it’s a niche movie, at least let it be something interesting, that actually has something important or relevant to say.

Joe J

This movie got picked, that's what happened (haha).

John A

If I ever win this it's going to be Undertaker vs Mankind hell in a cell, especially after she just asked if Stone Cold was Larry the Cable Guy in her Expendables reaction

Clay F

Agree his supporting roles are great. I especially like him in Boogie Nights and The Big Lewbowski. You said "among others" -- I would include Charlie Wilson's War in which he nom for Oscar. The guy pretty much great in whatever he was in. To me, his most impressive role of all roles (support and lead) is Capote (2005). Stunning. Winning the Oscar for Best Actor so well deserved. Almost an understatement.

Clay F

+1 for Picnic at Hanging Rock. Plus, the other two, but unlikely the one with the trio of 2 cross-dressers and 1 trans would win the poll or otherwise be reacted to.

Clay F

Congrats Josh

Clay F

Nick -- all 3 good suggestions.

Clay F

I bought the digital original Kung Fu TV series 4-5 years ago on Amazon Prime Video for cheap (discounted).

Byrd N. Hand

Ashleigh Burton and Just SUMM Reactions have both done it, so never say never... though, yes, it may fare better in a 'gay pride month' poll or something.

Cole Jennett

He was hilarious in Along Came Polly. “Let it Rain!” “White Chocolate!”

Richard Maurer

Add the video where Undertaker and Mick Foley, along with others, describe exactly what happened that night and I’m on board.

Mannygogou

I always try to introduce Meet John Doe... Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck Has either of them been in PiB?

Mannygogou

would Dead Alive (1992) count? - Peter Jackson, maybe New Zealand... Dead Calm? (1989) just pulling things out of a hat now...

Nolofinwe

Hee hee hee hee Oh, she’s got to see George the animal too

Nolofinwe

We know what you mean you think we’re old 90 years old😂😂😂

Nick Ireland

Dead Calm would be great. Lantana, Animal Kingdom, Lion, the Dish, Wake in Fright. I'd love a Wolf Creek reaction but I think she's traumatised enough!

Chris Thom

Congrats. Read somewhere that Barry Gordy produced it. Wondering if his son is in the movie. The kid that did that song with Michael Jackson..."I always feel like, somebody's waaatchiiing meeeee."

Chris Thom

Wrapped in paper towel is the best I think. I don't even use those microwavable cases with the silver tape anymore. Too crispy. Also they're way better undercooked than overcooked. Do like ten or fifteen seconds less than suggested.

Larry Darrell

I don’t think so Manny. It’s a long time coming. Meet John Doe would be a perfect introduction.

Charles Hanham

lol I put Jingle all the way - and yet I watched it last year on PIB and forgot- my kids keep my brain full - anyway

Patrick Flanagan

Maybe people just want to see movies they enjoy?

Patrick Flanagan

I'm always tickled by folks who feel the need to announce that they "WON'T be watching this one, harrumph!" Thanks for letting us know. THE LAST DRAGON is very silly but also pretty fun. Some nice martial arts scenes, two great villains, an awesome theme song...it's like some people are just allergic to a good time at the movies.

Mark Duedall

Congrats, Josh. I was 14 when this came out and it looks like something I would have seen, but having seen the trailer now, I don’t recall it. Perhaps the El DeBarge theme song might save it. Otherwise we may be in for Howard the Duck II. But to each their own and I am glad you won.

Brent Petty

Give me Sergeant York, please.

Larry Darrell

As much as I don’t hate and still like Howard the Duck, I’ll admit that The Last Dragon is definitely more endearing than Howard. There’s a good chance she’ll like it.

Larry Darrell

Just bought The Last Dragon on 4K, upgrading my previously bought Blu-ray. Merry Christmas to Me ;-) and Merry Christmas to Josh. Thank You :-)

Richard Maurer

I love a good time, I just don’t consider Last Dragon to be one.

Mojo One Thousand

Wow, that was the closest I have gotten with the PAF draw, and I feel like the closest I will get. My default setting for PIB is to always be the bridesmaid and never the bride. Although Cassie said I have won a choice before (which is true), however, it was not from winning trivia. I finished second in trivia and March Madness in quick succession and due to a snafu with the March Madness winner I was graciously offered the prize, for which I still very much appreciative. The conversation started getting into Australian movies and some have been mentioned in the live and in the comments. Many of these have familiar faces as they have appeared on the channel, such as Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Ben Mendolsohn, Guy Pearce, Heath Ledger, and also some internatioanl famous faces. Military related films (All based on true events): * "Gallipoli" (1982) * "The Lighthorseman" (1987) * "Breaker Morant" (1980) Crime related films: * "Chopper" (2000) * "Jindabyne" (2006) * "Animal Kingdom" (2010) * "The Dry" (2020) * "The Big Steal" (1990) * "Gettin' Square" (2003) * "Two Hands" (1998) * "Malcolm" (1986) Lighter-hearted movies: * "The Dish" (2000) - my PAF choice for most of the year. Based on true events. * "The Castle (1997) * "Strictly Ballroom" (1992) * "Muriel's Wedding" (1994) * "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (1994) * "The Sum of Us" (1994) * "Kenny" (2006) Dramas * "The Man from Snowy River" (1982) * "Picnic at Hanging Rock" (1975) * "Lantana" (2001) * "Shine" (1996) * "Australia" (2008) Thriller/Horror-ish * "Wolf Creek" (2005) * "Dead Calm" (1989) * "Rogue" (2007)

John A

I love the people that can't handle someone having an opinion other than their own and throwing a fit because of it. The Last Dragon sucks and no one cares if you can't handle that opinion

Elliott Stone

I you like the haunting of hill house you’ll like the haunting of bly manor

Milton Reduxed

One way or another The Dish needs to happen in 2026 if not January, July is the anniversary of Apollo 11—perfect timing

Milton Reduxed

Personally I favour having a standard wheel with a side list of entrants to make it more transparent

Nolofinwe

It’s amazing almost all of them stink

Clay F

I like the way you organized your list by 'category'. Good choices on your list.

Larry Darrell

Yeah, I get wanting to make a show of it with a Wheel or the Frying Pan, but the transparency is lacking. As someone who was left out of the first couple Pick-a-Flicks because of glitches on their end, I’m never 100% confident my name is in the pan. And now if names were multiplied, could that mean that also names were left out? Finding a simpler but fully transparent way, such as having a list of ALL entries numbered, checked for doubles, on the screen and made available to see via post, and then just use a number generator. Therefore every applicant would be assigned a number beforehand and if your number comes up, you win. Something to consider.

Curious to see Cassie’s reaction to the new Fantastic Four film. While I liked the visual aesthetic, I found the story to be lacking and didn’t care much for the characterizations of Human Torch/Johnny Storm or The Thing/Ben Grimm. That said, I was never a fan of the first family of Marvel and always thought they were boring (much preferring X-Men and The Avengers as super hero teams), so my judgement of the movie may be colored accordingly. But it was really, really nice to see Galactus towering over the city and talking about his insatiable hunger. He’s one of my favorite Marvel villains and it was good to finally see him properly represented.

As much as I am loathe to agree with John A, I agree with John A. We should all be able to endure a little trash talk about movies we like—it's not like we made them It only gets annoying when the odd patron needs to make 20 posts repeating the fact they don't like a movie...

Dean Holt

Just watched the trailer for the Last Dragon as I’ve not heard of it before. Wow it’s looks like one of those really bad movies that knows it’s bad 😂. It also looks like something I would have loved as a kid in the 80s or a teen in the 90. But Cassie’s reaction to this could be worth the watch on its own 😂

Richard Maurer

I certainly don’t think Cassie or Ben would manipulate the outcome……and I’ll just stop there.

Of course not, no one’s saying that. I just assume a mistake was made somewhere. I’m saying either a few extra steps could be taken to assure everyone that each draw is 100% fair, such as double or triple checking before the draw that there aren’t any duplicated names and provide us with a list of the names in the draw that was used in the double and triple checking. Or take a few less steps and simplify the process, such as assigning everyone a number, like the number next to our name on the list in the main Pick-a-Flick post that we use to verify that our entry has been accepted. Then just use a number generator. It’s less flashy but also less chance things can go wrong. Or if she still likes the Frying Pan (which is cool by the way), then maybe create a standard list of numbers from 1 - 500, that never changes and we use every draw. If the last number in the frying pan is greater than the number of entries we need for the draw, then we go again. She likes spinning wheels and popping the popcorn, so this way could possibly give more times to do the selecting process. It might also extend the tension. Maybe we have to pop the popcorn two or three or 4 times before we get a winner. Just trying to keep things fair. Again, after being left out of the first couple drawings and now seeing someone else’s name in the frying pan 5+ times and not seeing mine, just takes the fun out of it. When you play the lottery, you have a ticket with a number on it that assures you that you have a stake in the game. Having a ticket/number, would be an awesome thing for Pick-a-Flick, compared to how it’s been in the past.

Worst pick since the thing started

John A

All comic book movies are exactly the same movie over and over and over again

Richard Maurer

You don’t watch many of them do you? Anyway you could say the same about Westerns, 80’s action movies, Rom-Com’s, etc,.

John A

I've watched plenty. I know you're dying for her to watch the 40th fantastic four movie to be made, but they're still all the exact same movie. That being also true for 80s cringe or rom coms doesn't really change it, no one is telling you that you're not allowed to like them

I'm a little late to the party on this channel. But, I just watched Cassie's reaction to Sum of all Fears. If you still really enjoys espionage style movies, you should also watch the machurian candidate, the Man from U.N.C.L.E., and Spy Game.

Richard Maurer

If you think all comic book movies are the same then you literally can’t have seen that many of them. That they all have comic book superheroes in them is about the most you can say that they all have in common. Saying the new FF movie is the same as previous versions proves this point. Other than having the FF in them and very basic plot idea of hero’s fighting villains, the FF movies have nothing in common with each other.

Just Plain Bob

Richard, I’m among those that’s been critical of most of what Marvel’s put out since Avengers Endgame. I do believe there’s been a noticeable drop off in quality. That said, the notion that every superhero film is the same is utterly absurd. They differ in many ways, from character basis (mutant, result of experimentation, technology based, alien, etc) to villain motivations (saving the universe from itself, proving one’s worth to a parent, insatiable hunger, etc), to plot (repairing the damage inadvertently caused by prior acts, staving off alien invasion, political assassination, etc); you name it, they differ.

Richard Maurer

Bob - I would say that since Endgame the MCU movies lacked the focus that they previously had, and there was a drop in quality - in some of the movies. But there were also several movies in phase 4 that I quite enjoyed Shang-Chi, Black Window, Guardians 3, and couple that were among my favorite MCU movies - Spider-Man No Way Home and Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness. Also the last 2 MCU movies, Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four, have reached the level of being among my favorites and give me hope for the MCU’s future.

Just Plain Bob

One thing I think has become clear. The plaudits heaped on Kevin Feige are more appropriately reserved for Jon Favreau, Joe Johnston, Joss Whedon (before he jumped off the cliff with Justice League), James Gunn and the Russo Brothers. They’re the ones that made the films but Feige seemed to get all the credit. It’s not surprising that, if you have good scripts and direction, the end result is usually good movies.

Richard Maurer

I think Feige’s main role of keeping the movies in line with the overarching Thanos storyline was something he did reasonably well. Problem was after Endgame they stopped making Avengers movies, which were the glue that held the other movies together, so phase 4 just seemed to be going in all directions without a central theme to unify them, but it looks like they are going back to what works with Avengers: Doomsday coming up and having both Thunderbolts and FF directly setting up that movie, instead of having nothing to do with the next movie after them like most phase 4 unfortunately did.

Always (1989)

Richard Maurer

Larry - I didn’t think you were saying that.

Wil Chavis

Bite your tongue! That movie was awesome!

Dean Holt

Was could be the key word there 😂. I am looking forward to watching it, but it’s more out of curiosity than anything else. Also can’t wait to see what Cassie thinks of it as it could be the first time she’s seen this side of the 80s.
