Hey guys, whats poppin?
Well we made it to February! It has been a long week over here. Has anyone else felt extra anxious lately? Is there a moon or planet in retrograde or something ;) One of my kids is just dealing with something really hard lately and I don't know how to help and it is breaking my heart. Then emergency dental stuff for another and also the sun has not been out here in a while....
The good little delights are my little girl did a cheerleading clinic for a local high school fundraiser and it was the cutest thing I have ever seen. I love my nails this month so much and Valentines candy is the best candy. Have you tried Jolly Rancher jelly bean hearts? omg.
Movies are looking so great for this week as well! Apes and Harrison and classic romance! If you have not checked out the classic romantic poll so vote! Audrey has an early lead! We are going to try really hard to have Carly watch Planet of the Apes and one of the other this week too!
The POPPIE AWARDS are officially set for March 1st, save the date, the voting form will be out next week! EEEEE!!! I'm so so excited! Oscars who? haha jk
Do any of you have any fun plans for Valentines Day? We are not huge celebrators of the holiday but I'm hoping for a dinner and a chick flick for it ;) I had a friend do fondue with her whole family every v-day and thinking that could be a fun tradition to start. I know, I know, a made up holiday by Hallmark ;)
I also wanted to let you know on this side, Carly and I are moving the podcast to every other week, maybe not forever but for at least the next little while. Check out our latest episode here-STAR TREK SUPERLATIVES where i dissect things like which Star Trek character is most likely to get a tattoo!
Ok love you all, more than even jolly rancher hearts!
Have the best week, tell me a delight you have noticed this week!

2025-02-25 21:48:17 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed POA this morning with the reaction you really need to watch them all, I think that would be better and give you a more overall understanding of the series

2025-02-10 13:43:55 +0000 UTCClay, sadly, I don't have access to the full reactions yet - which left me screeching when they cut away from the ending scene of "An Officer and a Gentleman" in particular. Seriously, they trimmed THAT SCENE. Just, argh. I have been debating pulling the trigger on the paid subscription, just to be able to vote and see everything uncut, but it IS a bit on the pricey side. We'll see.

2025-02-09 17:52:53 +0000 UTCBut, technically, it’s not murder. Dracula isn’t human (anymore) and therefore his killing humans can’t be called murder. It’s predation, albeit by a unnatural predator.
Richard Maurer
2025-02-09 14:43:22 +0000 UTCEstella Warren was indeed gorgeous back then, but, yeah, left a bit to be desired in the acting department. She should've stuck to modeling. Too bad she ended up going down a similar hard-living path to Lindsay Lohan. 😬
Byrd N. Hand
2025-02-09 14:20:07 +0000 UTC"Titanic 2" -- that is a good one. I like that. I thought Gladiator 2 was ok. I did not suggest it but I would be fine with her reacting to the Marky Mark 2001 remake. Do you have access to the full reactions? Her full reaction to Face/Off is excellent. Would miss nuances in the YT edit.
Clay F
2025-02-09 13:30:39 +0000 UTCYes, we all got together while you were at the pub and made a group decision... You're certainly allowed to like it, but I have seen absolutely nothing hinting that it's for me, or for that matter serves any worthwhile purpose. The consensus from reviews is that it's trying to use the same plot (which is no longer creative or even vaguely new-ish), but with an inferior cast and even less of a tenuous connection to history. I just don't see any reason to bother with a setup like that; I'd much rather just rewatch the original. YMMV.
Vak
2025-02-09 12:43:42 +0000 UTCMoney turns heads, and Patreon is terrible for it. Once you start seeing money coming in you just start to crave it more and more and it makes you want more and more so you try to find more ways to squeeze more out of patrons and end up turning on your fiends. I guess you could say Cassie is slowly becoming Gollum 🤣

2025-02-09 05:04:44 +0000 UTC….. but it’s done in a romantic, loving way.
Richard Maurer
2025-02-09 03:48:49 +0000 UTCYo world...look at my Calvins. See my funky bunch in my Calvins? The white gangsta doin' anything for you yet? Iit's such a...GOOD VIBRATTTIIIOOOOON. Come on come on.
Chris Thom
2025-02-09 03:43:35 +0000 UTCNah just let her know it's mostly about the serial murder.
Chris Thom
2025-02-09 03:41:56 +0000 UTCI know everything feels like such a hustle nowadays doesn't it? I don't know why but it didn't feel so much that way when I was younger. Was probably just naive I guess. But so much feels like exploitation these days. It's strange.
Chris Thom
2025-02-09 03:37:19 +0000 UTCI'm getting the sense there's a YouTube channel somewhere telling everyone they're not allowed to like Gladiator 2. Was there a group meeting or something? Or people genuinely hate it?
Chris Thom
2025-02-09 03:32:33 +0000 UTCMixed reactions to the upcoming list. On the plus side, I really hope Cassie follows up the classic Heston "Planet of the Apes" with the utterly unnecessary and bizarre, yet kind of weirdly magnetic (in a "can't stop watching the train wreck" kind of way) remake with Marky Mark. Hell, Heston has a cameo! As does his infamous quote! And just from an eye-candy-in-a-bad-movie perspective, it's tough to top the combo of Wahlberg and Estella Warren. (OK, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively in "Green Lantern" still hold the top spot, but, wow this one's close.) Also, I admit that I'm looking forward to "Face-Off" just because it's fascinating to watch Travolta trying desperately to out-Cage Nic Cage himself. I mean, THAT'S popcorn-worthy. But...that's balanced against the fact that I have zero intention of ever sitting through "Gladiator II," so that's a PiB reaction I'll sadly likely never watch. If any movie bumps the "Matrix" sequels out of the gold medal slot in "this thing never should have had a sequel," it's "Gladiator." Just...c'mon. What's next, Hollywood? "Titanic II?"
Vak
2025-02-08 11:47:04 +0000 UTCCurious how Glad II will do on YT for Cassie. Reactions by Reel Rejects and CinePals have not exceeded 63k views in a month. Reception seems to be a collective yawn, LOL.
Joe
2025-02-07 23:24:37 +0000 UTCThat's what she did last month but this month she has put it behind the paywall so that any subscribers who's memberships have lapsed can't see it, even though their choices are supposed to still be in the next draw after they leave. I don't know what to make of it all, this isn't the Cassie I found a few years ago on YouTube, then this was a hobby that made her some money on the side, now she's treating it just like a business and if you stop paying then you're of no value to her anymore so she discards you lol.
shireknight
2025-02-07 09:47:30 +0000 UTCIt looks like Breakfast at Tiffany's will take that slot.
Chris Thom
2025-02-07 05:10:34 +0000 UTCI thought the draw was up for everyone to see. Isn't the YouTube video right there on the page?
Chris Thom
2025-02-07 04:48:28 +0000 UTCNo Way Out (1987) was the winner. I'm pretty sure I did see Watership Down in the list.
bgb1975 (Brian)
2025-02-06 18:32:32 +0000 UTCThat picture is most definitely from The Philadelphia Story. https://images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/2/1-cary-grant-and-katharine-hepburn-in-the-philadelphia-story-1940--album.jpg
Mike LL
2025-02-06 16:06:46 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, I can't see the pick a film draw because it's locked behind the pay wall and Cassie said my film would be included in it this month. I know it's highly unlikely I won but could someone please tell me which film won the draw please and did you happen to notice if Watership Down 1978 was one of the films listed please. Thank you so much.
shireknight
2025-02-06 16:03:38 +0000 UTCIt won't necessarily be a Cary Grant. That's just a generic picture because the poll isn't over yet. The question mark is the relevant bit. And that picture is from Holiday (1938)
Clarence Newman
2025-02-06 08:56:39 +0000 UTCI love Working Girl!!! Harrison, Melanie AND Sigourney!! For the life of me, I can't figure out which Cary Grant classic we're getting ( I know that hairline anywhere)!!
fish_thefilmcollector
2025-02-06 07:55:23 +0000 UTCExcited for Working Girl, both because I enjoyed the movie and because I know Carley and Cassie would love it. Not a huge fan of the early Planet of the Apes films (they'e good, and classic science fiction, but not my favorites). I am however looking forward to when she sees the NEWEST films—especially Rise, Dawn, and War. (Kingdom was okay, but not as good as the "Ceasar trilogy")
D. T. Nelson
2025-02-06 05:34:16 +0000 UTCIt's mostly significant just for being Burton's first of 7 consecutive movies with HBC (and his last of 4 with Lisa Marie).
Byrd N. Hand
2025-02-06 05:15:43 +0000 UTCCarrot Cake From Raley's Day could also be a banger. Because carrot cakes from Raley's are banging. Seriously so good.
Chris Thom
2025-02-06 02:06:45 +0000 UTCThey also need to know how utterly empty chasing the respect of narcissists really is, and will be, in the end. Better to find a goal for themselves, compete with themselves, and find self respect among people they actually love.
Chris Thom
2025-02-05 23:54:11 +0000 UTCSeems appropriate in the era of Land of the Lost.
Chris Thom
2025-02-05 23:49:59 +0000 UTCI don't remember anything about it, tbh. Except for the very end, and I'm pretty sure Helena Bonham Carter shows up at some point. Also; laser canons?
Chris Thom
2025-02-05 23:30:07 +0000 UTCThose should be hang up in every break room.
Chris Thom
2025-02-05 23:24:45 +0000 UTCYeah I'm not surprised. At all.
Chris Thom
2025-02-05 23:16:29 +0000 UTCShe has already said that she is doing the original from 1968 then is going directly to the four current era Matt Reeves series. So that would be five movies total.
Mike LL
2025-02-05 22:09:05 +0000 UTCNo love for The Satanic Rites of Dracula? I remember having an argument with my Nan when I was about 12 because she wouldn't let me stay up and watch it. Tried my best to persuade her it was the artistry of the genre I was drawn to and not the hot ladies in Wonderbras.
Clarence Newman
2025-02-05 22:01:24 +0000 UTCDid you identify with the Chasing Amy story about Banky's childhood? :-)
Happy Hanukkah
2025-02-05 21:45:54 +0000 UTCThanks for the offer, but it's remarkable (truly) how few new movies I've watched in the past year.
Happy Hanukkah
2025-02-05 21:45:31 +0000 UTCYou've reminded me of Dolphin Boy by Corky and the Juice Pigs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMNlt9oNfxM
Happy Hanukkah
2025-02-05 21:31:53 +0000 UTCCareful, RM. I just might agree to your alternative! :-) (And imagine the horror, the horror, if Cassie falls so in love with the plot that she decides she *must* watch this version too! :-) )
Happy Hanukkah

Sean
2025-02-05 21:08:02 +0000 UTCI was thinking maybe that too Joe. There's a solution but she has not invited me to discuss it with her :P
V M
2025-02-05 20:36:40 +0000 UTCShh... dont mention it :/
V M
2025-02-05 20:13:44 +0000 UTCWhen Cassie first mentioned the podcast, i said "She doesnt have time for a podcast" because I thought itd be every day :p
V M
2025-02-05 20:12:21 +0000 UTC@ Joe - I will be pleasantly surprised if Cassie sticks to a regular monthly schedule for this, surprised being the operative word. Her track record for doing things on a regular basis isn’t the best.
Richard Maurer
2025-02-05 19:53:59 +0000 UTCJoe, true 😂
Mark White
2025-02-05 19:52:11 +0000 UTCMark, I will probably just watch her reaction to the 68 OG anyway, as I'm not a fan of the franchise (old or new). She may get "ape" fatigue just doing 5 films, LOL.
Joe
2025-02-05 19:44:50 +0000 UTCYeah in addition 👍
Milton William Burray
2025-02-05 19:36:08 +0000 UTC@Richard, I can't think of any logical reason she would hesitate doing monthly random polls, we just need to keep reminding her to do them. Alternate these monthly by genre. Another monthly poll could be targeted by actor, director, by decade, Oscar winners, etc. Can she just put me in charge for a year, LOL.
Joe
2025-02-05 19:27:51 +0000 UTC@ Milton - The idea for PaF was for people to be able to pick WHATEVER film they want. Keeping “niche” films out would defeat the purpose. Unless you you mean for these polls to be in addition to the regular monthly PaF, that I ‘d have no problem with. @Joe - if she was going to do it twice a month she’s half a month late - the first polls were Jan. 8th. I doubt it will even be once a month, but I’d be glad if it was. I’m afraid it might end up being once or twice a quarter.
Richard Maurer
2025-02-05 18:15:42 +0000 UTCIf a sequel/prequel upholds the integrity of the original film, I think it's genuinely worthwhile.
Byrd N. Hand
2025-02-05 18:03:04 +0000 UTCAh, well Joe, that is a different matter all together. I often see people in the comment section say, they just vote for what they like and not for what they think Cassie will like. Now I’m normally one for asking for movies and voting for movies that I think Cassie will like, irrespective of the fact I and other people may not like the movie. For example I have asked for “Cocktail” recently, not exactly my cup of tea!! But I’m sure a Cassie movie. I have never asked for “Scarface” which I Love, because I feel it’s just not something she would enjoy. I do feel I have sometimes gotten a little flak in the past for saying “it’s not really a Cassie movie” even when I like it! So I have not voted for it. Now I like the 70s sequels, but I agree maybe Cassie wouldn’t enjoy them in the same way! So my question is, should I ask for them? Joe, I will just add, I may be over thinking this abit!! 🤪😆
Mark White
2025-02-05 17:45:45 +0000 UTCVery true! My brother actually had a POTA lunch box and playset with action figures and buildings, he loved these movies
Sam Wilson
2025-02-05 17:34:36 +0000 UTCThat movie is the template for Tropic Thunder II. Downey as a now corpulent actor who does not care anymore. It practically writes itself.
TheSingulatarian
2025-02-05 17:31:52 +0000 UTCShe did use a random generator for the 1-50, 51-100, and 101-200 polls. I think she plans to do these regularly, hopefully at least twice a month.
Joe
2025-02-05 17:16:43 +0000 UTCI say spin the wheel regularly on a spur of the moment, also use it to create polls Making polls would also function to avoid the most niche titles breaking through
Milton William Burray
2025-02-05 16:54:09 +0000 UTCI can't carry anything over 30 pounds or so but otherwise I'm mostly back to normal. Thanks
Katie Jackson
2025-02-05 16:43:35 +0000 UTCI just don't feel the 70s sequels would hit at all with Cassie.
Joe
2025-02-05 16:15:25 +0000 UTCI'm curious what the problem is...maybe dealing with some bullies.
Joe
2025-02-05 16:03:01 +0000 UTCA podcast every week never seemed sustainable to me. Carly does have other things on her mind right now, LOL.
Joe
2025-02-05 15:42:18 +0000 UTCVery excited for Planet of the Apes! I love that franchise, I recently binged all the films. It’s a great time and it’s cool being able to look back when you start the new films and see the references to the originals. I only made it half way through the Mark Walberg remake film tho, which is fine since it’s not connected to the franchise. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes ended up being one of my favourite films from last year.
Han
2025-02-05 15:37:58 +0000 UTCYou couldn't escape these frigging apes in the 70s, LOL. Even had a lame TV show for one year. I liked the 68 film, it's a classic, the follow-up films were a step down in quality...they just kept making them.
Joe
2025-02-05 15:32:29 +0000 UTCYeah, I wish Cassie wouldn't make us wait...just do it on the 1st or 2nd of the month.
Joe
2025-02-05 15:24:45 +0000 UTCoh no the original is a classic but are going to have to watch the avertisement for Beastiality with Mark Walberg remake also . and there is like- 10 of them LOL. all with humans as the bad guys -like the visually Magnificent but with a Pagan spiritual and Beastial messages. , Avatar ? and working girl ? "One Fine Day". would have been way better well maybe ill get lucky and the vote will be . " Bringing up Baby"

2025-02-05 15:21:21 +0000 UTCWe shall have to swap Catholic school stories Walter. Let's just say I was not a favorite of the nuns. And when I say not a favorite I mean they thought I was a rejected spawn of Lucifer who was just smart enough to know which button to press on each one of them, and spent my days lighting them up like the floors on a hundred story building.

2025-02-05 15:07:05 +0000 UTCGod bless your Mom and you Katie. I hope you're fully healed after the tumble in the cooler.
Above Average Dave
2025-02-05 15:02:50 +0000 UTCI remember after my buddies and I saw DAY OF THE DOLPHIN one very late night in college we were all doing THOSE voices for a couple weeks. It paired well with my Flipper imitation, which was always a hit with the ladies but freaked out anyone dropping acid at the moment. Ahhh, those times as a sophomore in college—seven of the best years of my life.
Above Average Dave
2025-02-05 15:01:05 +0000 UTCI agree, I had a similar reaction with the modern remakes. I found a certain charm about the original series and was emotionally invested in Cornelius and Zira's story as much as I was of Charlton Heston's character. Which is why I really enjoyed the original sequels. I thought Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter were great in those roles. I didn't feel the same connection to the modern remake.
Mark T
2025-02-05 14:49:28 +0000 UTCMark. Yep, sometimes the mind can go full-on Grima Wormtongue, can't it? As you point out, though, just getting up and doing something can shut him up.
Clarence Newman
2025-02-05 13:56:40 +0000 UTCYikes! I thought the original series withered after the second one. I've not had a shred of interest in any of the others. I thought Heston in the original and James Franciscus nailed their roles and the stories of the first two were solid. And of course, Linda Harrison as Nova held the two together (😂).
Above Average Dave
2025-02-05 13:54:03 +0000 UTCI think I could do that, Richard. Here's one we could send Cassie: "If you're feeling alone, just turn out the lights and put on a horror movie. You won't feel alone for long."
Clarence Newman
2025-02-05 13:53:57 +0000 UTCYeah, I’m not going to be disappointed if Cassie doesn’t watch them, just would of been nice. But I do understand most don’t want them for time reasons. It’s POTA, not Star Trek! I throw my toys out of my pram when it’s comes to missing trek! 😆
Mark White
2025-02-05 13:43:26 +0000 UTCYou never know, maybe Cassie will get Good Vibrations from Marky mark and his funky bunch! 😉😂
Mark White
2025-02-05 13:38:18 +0000 UTCI have nostalgia for the old ones too (even though I don't remember them very well), but now think of the old ones as more for hardcore fans? I loved the 1968 original [IMDb 8.0, RT 86% (audience 88%)] as a kid, and the early 70s movies were a way for me when younger to extend that feeling. But I also understand now they may not be the greatest, but don't really know. I initially suggested to skip the 70's movies to make reacting to the franchise less commitment and thus more likely that she would react to the franchise, but now that the decision has been made to react to PoA franchise, I guess I have no strong preference whether the 70s movies or skipped or not. I think Celeste would like for them to be included. In the live last week, Cassie said the thought is to react to five: the 1968 original + the 4 newest movies. She said she would skip the Tim Burton 2001 remake but wondered (a little hesitant) because one of her friends liked it. I saw no one in the comments object to skipping the 70's movies or the 2001 remake, but I missed a comment in support of the 2001 remake.
Clay F
2025-02-05 13:35:25 +0000 UTCThanks for those figures Clay, boy, those numbers are high for the new ones. Yeah, I think Cassie will like the new ones more.
Mark White
2025-02-05 13:24:53 +0000 UTCI like them Clarence, some good stuff there. I’m a bit weird though with my Anxiety! So, the only time I am Anxiety free is when I’m hanging 50-80ft up a tree with a chainsaw! Or best of all, hanging off a cliff, up a mountain! (When on Holiday) when I’m up there I just feel free from all the crap in my head! All I’m thinking is what’s my next move. Nothing else is in my brain. I’m calm, at ease. No clutter! Or fog! When I come down from a mountain Climb, my wife tells me, that’s the only time she gets the real me! Just for a few days until it wears off. (She does have to put up with a lot!) Put me in a office and I’m a nervous wreck!
Mark White
2025-02-05 13:19:52 +0000 UTCYeah, so Clay, I’m not saying Cassie should skip anything really. Just that I found “Battle” to be a bit flat. Looking at those RT scores for the originals, I would mirror those with how I would rank them. Again I can’t offer much on the new ones. Just “Rise”, but maybe watching with Cassie may help me enjoy it more. But again, I’m probably talking with massive nostalgia goggles on! 😎
Mark White
2025-02-05 13:10:05 +0000 UTCDo you work for a company that makes wall plaques?
Richard Maurer
2025-02-05 13:03:57 +0000 UTCI am going to pull the “she needs to watch the older versions first before she watches this version” card. Except with the change of skipping this version altogether.
Richard Maurer
2025-02-05 13:00:45 +0000 UTCWhere is Mike Lemon when I need him?
Richard Maurer
2025-02-05 12:50:27 +0000 UTCHold on to your bucket of popcorn, there's 10 total, five from the 1960s and '70s and five from the 2000s
Sam Wilson
2025-02-05 12:50:07 +0000 UTCI firmly believe most sequels are a waste of time, and even most the people supporting these sequels (as well as others) acknowledge they are of diminishing quality, and are just being nostalgia-goggle completists. Cassie only has so much time to watch movies, and filling that time with unnecessary sequels “just to complete the series” is a waste.
Richard Maurer
2025-02-05 12:45:53 +0000 UTCAnd when will the PaF spin be held?
bgb1975 (Brian)

Mike LL
2025-02-05 11:30:17 +0000 UTCI was just thinking that, Milt. Hopefully, it will slip Cassie's mind before the end of the film.
Clarence Newman
2025-02-05 11:18:50 +0000 UTCHere's a few tortilla wraps to slap your anxiety with.... "Anxiety is interest you pay on a debt you may not owe." "You are stronger than you think. You've made it through every bad day in your life, and you are undefeated." "If pleasures are greatest in anticipation, just remember that this is also true of trouble." "There is a condition worse than blindness, and that is seeing something that isn't there." "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it." "I learned there are troubles of more than one kind - some come from ahead, some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready, you see. Now my troubles are going to have trouble with me." "I always believed it was me against the world. Then one day I realised, it's just me against me." "Some unknown joys there be, laid up in store for me." "For every ailment under the sun, there is a remedy or there is none. If there be one, try to find it; if there be none, never mind it." "Two men looked out from prison bars. One saw the mud, the other saw the stars." "My life has been full of terrible misfortunes....most of which never happened."
Clarence Newman
2025-02-05 10:50:50 +0000 UTCIt was hard watching my kids be ill, especially if they had a nagging cough. So you are suggesting she react to Beneath, Escape, and Conquest, but skip Battle? I remember being up late watching those on TV 40-50 years ago. IMDb 6.0, RT 37% = Beneath (1970) IMDb 6.3, RT 76% = Escape (1971) IMDb 6.1, RT 52% = Conquest (1972) IMDb 5.4, RT 36% = Battle (1973) I liked the first Serkis movie, and think she will like all 4 but not sure. IMDb 7.6, RT 82% = Rise (2011) IMDb 7.6, RT 91% = Dawn (2014) IMDb 7.4, RT 94% = War (2017) IMDb 6.9, RT 80% = Kingdom (2024)

2025-02-05 10:24:19 +0000 UTCWith regards your son it's the primary task of parents to develop children into adults that don't need parents anymore. It's hard for mothers particularly because they have to let their sons go and cannot ultimately lead boys into manhood - which starts happening about 12-14 . The reality is that boys have got to toughen up and shoulder burdens, or they will never respect themselves or have the respect of their peers, as men are basically measured by the suffering they can endure, particularly for the sake of others

2025-02-05 10:23:21 +0000 UTCHi Cassie, my Anxiety has gone the other way, but it tends to, as I get to this time of year. My work is just starting to slow down abit now. I would guess your increased Anxiety is connected to your little ones going through difficult times. I can’t begin to imagine how tough it must be, to be a mother and watch your children struggle! You come across as an amazing mom and I’m sure with your love and support those kids will get through anything. It’s another great line up of movies. You are going to love “Working girl” one of my moms favs. As for POTA, can’t wait! But I do ask, if you can, to watch the original sequels. The first three sequels are definitely worth a watch (I say with my nostalgia goggles on!) the last is meh. Apart from the first of the new ones, I will be watching them for the first time with you. I wasn’t a big fan of the first, but hopefully I will enjoy the second time around. A delight this week, the sun is out, at last! I’m spending all day sat with wifey and I’m going to get POTA on PiB! 😃 You are the best ❤️

2025-02-05 08:56:30 +0000 UTCMark, I agree 100%
Mark White
2025-02-05 08:31:45 +0000 UTCRichard, reading the comments so far, it seams there are many who would agree with you. But I’m sorry to say i can’t completely agree. Yes, I do think the quality of the original sequels goes down abit, but I still like the first three sequels. It’s only 73’ Battle I felt was poor. So I personally would like to see Cassie watch them. I have seen the 2001 reboot and didn’t think much to it. I have seen the first of the modern ape movies 2011 rise and this will be a unpopular opinion! But wasn’t a fan. It was ok, but just didn’t flick my switch I’m afraid, which is why I haven’t seen the sequels. Maybe it’s because I had nostalgia Goggles on, or my growing dislike of CGI at that time. I don’t know why! Maybe I will enjoy more when Cassie watch’s it. But I would like Cassie to watch all the originals.
Mark White
2025-02-05 08:29:01 +0000 UTCMark, good points. Maybe she could react to Beneath, Escape, and Conquest, and skip Battle? I have nostalgia for them, catching them 50 years ago on TV in the 1970's

rakesh
2025-02-05 08:06:40 +0000 UTCI see your point about the original series. I think "Beneath" gets more bad-mouthing than it deserves. Yet "Escape" and "Conquest" are very good. Roddy McDowell's monologue at the end of Conquest is practically Oscar worthy. "Battle" is quite weak. Maybe it is more for die hards, but is a good series.

2025-02-05 07:19:32 +0000 UTCCan't wait for you to get to the more modern Planet of the Apes trilogy starting in 2011! The original is pretty good but the other older ones are quite bad. So I am hoping you decide to just get to the newer ones after you watch the original. But I totally get it if you want to watch all of them.

2025-02-05 06:28:12 +0000 UTC"Dead Poets Society" was '89 and "The Truman Show" was '98, BTW. 🤓 Peter Weir is an incredibly underrated director. "Gallipoli" and "The Year of Living Dangerously" are also overlooked classics.
Byrd N. Hand
2025-02-05 06:23:01 +0000 UTCThe early 1970's movies are more for hardcore fans imo, but I would not object if she reacted to one or more of those -- I liked Escape (1971). I suggested to skip the Burton 2001 remake, but the makeup effects are good. Good point about the somewhat arduous path of X-Men movies (11 movies maybe?) I think the plan is these five: the 1968 original + the 4 Serkis movies. In the live last week, all the comments seem to agree, though I was later corrected by a fellow patron who said he commented in support of the 2001 remake (which Cassie seemed to have an interest in the 2001 remake because one of her friends liked it). The 1968 is a must. IMDb 8.0, RT 86% (audience 88%) = 1968 original I would not object if she reacted to the four 1970's movies, but would also go with a consensus to skip them. IMDb 6.0, RT 37% = Beneath (1970) IMDb 6.3, RT 76% = Escape (1971) IMDb 6.1, RT 52% = Conquest (1972) IMDb 5.4, RT 36% = Battle (1973) The Burton 2001 remake has excellent makeup effects but the story/performances are not as compelling to me. I did like the Tim Roth performance of General Thade. IMDb 5.7, RT 43% (audience 27%) = 2001 remake I think Cassie will like these four, but we'll see. IMDb 7.6, RT 82% = Rise (2011) IMDb 7.6, RT 91% = Dawn (2014) IMDb 7.4, RT 94% = War (2017) IMDb 6.9, RT 80% = Kingdom (2024)

2025-02-05 05:57:52 +0000 UTCThe documentary Bob mentions is an interesting look at the making of a fascinating misfire (to be kind). An alternate TLDR: the set was filled with people either making each other miserable or wishing they were elsewhere. But then, if the production had been more normal, would the movie have been anywhere near as memorable? :-) A slightly less troubled late-Brando movie appropriate for Romance February is Don Juan DeMarco (1996), starring Johnny Depp.

2025-02-05 05:39:19 +0000 UTCGriffith is also Tippi Hedren's (of "The Birds" fame) daughter, BTW. I also remember "Working Girl" being fairly popular. It's an enjoyable enough movie (it's particularly interesting to see Sigourney Weaver in a more villainous role and one of the earliest examples of Kevin Spacey playing a sleazeball), but I feel it was a bit too lightweight for its Best Picture nod. I'd have preferred that fifth slot going to something like "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" or "The Last Temptation of Christ." 🤷♂️

See, you make a large, unreasonable request (hey, can you watch this series of 7 movies?), and you follow that request by a smaller, more acceptable request (hey, can you watch Horror of Dracula?) The idea is that the contrast between the two requests makes the second one seem more reasonable and appealing, increasing the likelihood of compliance :P and yes, the series of 7 may not be an unreasonable request, but you get the picture :P

Something elusive, like a dream that you can’t quite remember how it ends.
Uncle Phoenix
2025-02-05 04:16:55 +0000 UTCI agree. While I enjoyed the sequels to the original 1968 movie, I don’t see Cassie getting invested in them all that much. Once she’s seen Rise of the Planet of the Apes, however, I think she’ll be all in and anxious to get to the next three.
Dan M
2025-02-05 04:16:41 +0000 UTCAnd I’m right there with you…Cassie will absolutely love Nine Months. I’m hoping there will be a modern romance poll and it shows up there. And if not, perhaps a PiB Pick of the Month.

2025-02-05 04:06:57 +0000 UTCIt’s a shame your first exposure to the Apes movies was Tim Burton’s take on it. I guess for someone who had never seen the original movies , Tim Burton’s movie was enjoyable. But once you’ve seen the original, and absolutely once you’ve seen the newer movies, you’ll understand why Tim Burton’s version is dismissed by many.
Dan M
2025-02-05 04:04:40 +0000 UTCCorrect. ( I wouldn’t have taken that bet ;-) The original featured the Cage minus Nicholas. What you brought home with you many years later changed it. I guess that was the biggest selling factor at that point.

2025-02-05 03:58:46 +0000 UTCOh Cassie…I remember when my girls were in grade school and it seemed like every other week one of them would get sick, then she’d get better and the other would get sick, and eventually my wife would catch whatever they were dealing with. I have some kind of super immune system and I very rarely got sick even though they would often fall asleep in my arms and breathe their toxic germy breath all over me. I can definitely relate to what you’re going through, and wholeheartedly sympathize. Our usual Valentine’s Day plans are very much like yours. Dinner out and maybe a movie if there is one my wife wants to see (she’s very much like you pre-PiB). We found a new restaurant not far from where we live where a duo plays piano and sax live while you eat…very romantic. Looking forward to the lineup this week. I’m interested to hear your take on Planet of the Apes premise, and I’m really pumped for you to start the newer Apes movies and hear your comparisons to the original. Working Girl has long been a favorite and is a perfect movie for February. Hope all of your kids get healthy soon and stay healthy so you and Ben can exhale and enjoy Valentine’s Day together. January is gone, the month of romance is here, and Spring isn’t too far off…there’s light at the end of the tunnel!
Dan M
2025-02-05 03:56:42 +0000 UTCAfter these PotA films I know a great series you could tackle next - the Dracula films starring Christopher Lee from Hammer films. Just the first four, Horror of Dracula Dracula: Prince of Darkness Dracula Has Risen From the Grave Taste the Blood of Dracula You don’t need to watch all seven (unless you want to). I know this isn’t going to happen - but it should. Because it would be cool as H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks.
Richard Maurer
2025-02-05 03:44:00 +0000 UTCThere's no way on Earth that was the original. In fact, I'll wager you five poll votes something like that was not used in such a capacity until a generation later. (SPOILER: Yes, the first sentence contains a joke.)

2025-02-05 03:18:08 +0000 UTCI first saw “Planet of the Apes” on tv as a kid. I loved it and the entire original five film series. I also watched the cartoon series and live action Saturday morning series. Great franchise. Word to the wise, though: stay away from the Marky Mark remake. The story is weak, Marky Mark’s acting is as wooden as a cigar store Indian and it seemed as though they ran out of budget 2/3 of the way thru. But the makeup effects by Rick Baker were brilliant (and far, far better than the CGI used in the later rebooted franchise).

I like Working Girl (1988), which I remember in 1988 being popular -- Melanie Griffith was well known at the time. Some may not know that Melanie Griffith is Dakota Johnson's mother. I am curious about Breakfast at Tiffany's (which I have not seen). I love Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday.

2025-02-05 01:46:46 +0000 UTCPlanet of the Apes was one of the earliest films I watched. My mother would take us to a drive in and we would lie down in the back of a VW Squareback (kind of mini station wagon). My sister and I would watch part of a movie and fall asleep every time. It was my mother's trick for quiet alone time. But I definitely remember the start of Planet of the Apes even if I didn't make it all the way through. It was so exciting to see the apes. I was too young to really get it all, but Charlton Heston seemed like the most manly man I'd ever seen in my life.

2025-02-05 01:45:44 +0000 UTCCan't wait for the Poppies!! Always a great time! BTW No other award show can hold a candle to the Poppies, the only Oscar's I pay any attention too are Meyer, the Grouch and Madison! Best wishes for you little one who is having a tough go of it, and your little girl's cheerleading clinic sounds absolutely adorable!

2025-02-05 01:40:36 +0000 UTCAll the original films, not just the first, are what kept creating Planet of the Apes fans over the years. Without ALL the original films, an argument could be made that the new films wouldn’t have happened.

2025-02-05 01:24:17 +0000 UTCYour Franchise reactions have always been consistently amazing Cassie 👍. From Rocky to indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, star wars, lethal weapon, die hard, 007, Mission impossible, Xmen, Star trek and probably a few more I've missed. It's really rewarding to see you organically grow to love certain characters more and more as you go on. For a minute I thought you would go on to the newer monsterverse movies of Godzilla and king Kong and hopefully you'll return to them sometime in the future but the planet of the apes are classics and the newer franchise movies were really well done so very excited for that.

2025-02-05 01:20:20 +0000 UTCWorking Girl!!! Finally!! Thank You. Also, For What it’s Worth… I believe you are planning on watching the original Planet of the Apes (1968) film, and then skipping to the new ones. FYI, there was more than one original film. A series of 5 films… Planet of the Apes (1968) Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)… direct sequel. Escape From the Planet of the Apes (1971) Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973) Just so you know, the new films are NOT a remake of the first or second film. They are a remake of the last 3 films… Escape (1971) Conquest (1972) Battle (1973) All of the original films are worth seeing.
Larry Darrell
2025-02-05 01:17:59 +0000 UTCJohn, best wishes for you and sister! Hope everyone is better soon!
Steve Holton
2025-02-05 01:16:58 +0000 UTCYou have to remember, there have been many movies that Patreon supporters panned which Cassie really enjoyed. While I agree the original sequels were not as good as the original, that's almost always the case with sequels with very few exceptions. Beneath the Planet of the Apes is not bad, and I actually really enjoyed Escape from the Planet of the Apes and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes with the late great RM.

2025-02-05 01:16:54 +0000 UTCSorry, you've got some tough things going on. I hope the kiddo gets through the rough patch soon. My Valentines Day plans are on hold this year. My mom has to have a heart ablation on Valentines Day so, my boyfriend and I are pushing our plans by a week or so. Looking forward to Planet Of The Apes. Still hoping for Nine Months sometime in February. The cast is stacked and it has everything that you want in a rom com. I think it will probably make it on your short list of favorite rom coms. 🤞you get to react to it soon. Bummed that An Affair To Remember isn't doing better in the poll. You'll get to it eventually and I'm sure you'll love it when you do.

2025-02-05 01:13:08 +0000 UTCOkay, so I was 10 and going to a Catholic school in Chicago back in 1983. I was in the choir and we had practice after classes. WGN was airing the original 5 Planet of the Apes movies in the afternoon - one each day - so I had to ditch choir so I could run home to watch them. I got kicked out of choir (after I told them why I skipped), but that started a life long love of the Apes series.

Walter
2025-02-05 01:07:59 +0000 UTCThe Planet of the Apes series from the 2011-24 is better than the original 70s series. Best to just skip the Mark Wahlberg 2001 version. I hope Funny Girl wins the romance poll because I know you love a based on true story films. At some point you should take a peak at Barefoot In the Park. I don't think there were two more attractive stars in 1967 than Redford and Fonda. I hope Carly is there for Working Girl so we can get a, "they just don't make them like that anymore!" It's a sweet little story that is so 80s I can almost smell the Aqua Net.
Javier Hernandez
2025-02-05 01:05:12 +0000 UTCI’m looking forward to your dive into Planet of the Apes. As long as you’re looking at actors in ape suits in 1968, I strongly suggest also watching 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was SO influential on so much of the sci-fi you have watched and the effects for the time were awesome. But let’s get back to the real topic, Valentine’s candy. I make the best truffles. (Well, I used to - it’s been a while.) They’re not hard and they’re so good. It’s a bit of an investment and your kitchen will be covered in chocolate but they’re amazing. It’s just combining the best dark chocolate you can find with heavy cream and then dipping it in more chocolate. I never used liqueurs or bothered tempering the chocolate and they were always a hit. I’m a SAG-AFTRA member and am now doing my own watching marathon before the votes are due for the SAG awards. I wish I could watch them with all of you! I’m not sure I’m going to get to all the nominated TV shows. If anyone has any strong opinions on who I should vote for make your case.

2025-02-05 00:52:06 +0000 UTCHi Cassie, a suggestion for next year's valentine's poll: Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), a masterpiece of a film directed by Peter Weir, who went on to direct Dead Poet's Society (1987), The Truman Show (1997) and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003). The film is set in Australia on 14th February 1900, which is why I thought it would be a good reaction on Valentine's Day

David Freese
2025-02-05 00:39:23 +0000 UTCVery interested to see what you make of Planet of the Apes. If your planning on watching the franchise I’d personally suggest after watching the one from 1968. Just jump straight to the later ones starting with the one in 2011. As the sequels to the 68 film are average at best and the direct sequel to the original is shockingly bad Imo. I don’t really want to say why just in case you decide to watch them all. I’m sure your going to love Working Girl and whatever wins the poll.
Dean Holt
2025-02-05 00:39:16 +0000 UTCSorry about your kid whose struggling. Its hard to see that from your kids. Hope it all works out. Thank you for the starting Planet of the Apes. I really hope you enjoy this franchise.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2025-02-05 00:37:05 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure she's skipping the original sequels and going straight into the new Apes movies. Although, I still say she should watch the Mark Wahlberg's POTA movie. I think it would make for an entertaining reaction. IMO!
Philip Alan
2025-02-05 00:35:40 +0000 UTCFirst, about your kid dealing with something really hard.....just pray and I am sure what you need to do will be revealed. I hope, if it's not too late, that Carly gets to watch Working Girl with you if she's never seen it. I believe Easter candy beats Valentine's 🤣 "Better Off Dead" is my recommendation for a rom-com. A very young John Cusack and one of my favorite movies for pure enjoyment.

Mike Lemon
2025-02-05 00:32:53 +0000 UTCI think and hope you’ll do the original Apes from 1968 and then jump to the last 4 movies from 2011-2024. That should more than do it, we’ve had way too many franchises stretching beyond 5 movies imo.
Shehab Dawoud
2025-02-05 00:32:50 +0000 UTCPlanet of the Apes 1968 at last!! Yessss! One of the finest and most intelligent science fiction movies ever made. With Ben-Hur himself! 😏 And Working Girl! Oh my heart! It has always been one of my "five picks" should I had ever won a trivia contest, a pursuit now in my distant dreams because I am so bad at it! But boy will Cassie love, love, love this movie. The headliners are Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver, but don't be fooled, the real star is Melanie Griffith. Can't wait for this one. And I'm sure the Romance winner will be a memorable reaction! Edit: After actually reading the post, if Carly could watch both Apes and Working Girl, she would love both and it would boost both reactions!!
Mike LL
2025-02-05 00:31:57 +0000 UTCNo spoilers here, but the final shot of that movie has always confused me. It's from the same director as The Graduate, which has a similarly perplexing final shot, so I'm guessing it was on purpose. That's all I'll say about it for now because I don't want to talk specifics, but something to think about when people watch it: what is trying to be conveyed there? That said, I absolutely love that movie and think Cassie will as well.
Stranger2Reality
2025-02-05 00:31:10 +0000 UTCWhat Star Trek characters get a tattoo? Leave it to Cassie to answer the big questions. 😂 Wouldn't mind you picking up a few TNG episodes. You know just for funsies. Nice line up this week.

2025-02-05 00:26:47 +0000 UTCI thought it was aggressively bad. When I saw it in theaters I alternated between being angered and bored by it. I still do not understand why Ridley Scott came back to make this sequel when it's just a complete retread of a movie he already made and which contains elements which actively make the original movie worse (i.e. "Lucius is safe"). Just a blatant cash grab by everyone involved.

2025-02-05 00:23:56 +0000 UTCHi Cassie, First of all, I would like to thank you for your reaction to "Lawrence of Arabia". I know that it was a slog to get through (not to mention a complicated plot to follow) but watching you react to this magnificent masterpiece is the closest I've ever gotten to seeing it again for the first time ... if that makes any sense! Not sure! The first time I saw this film was in the cinemas way back in 1989, when they first restored and remastered it and it blew me away!! Steven Spielberg described it as "... a miracle of a film ... " and it does truly stay with you long after you've seen it. It is based, loosely, on a true story and many of the events depicted in the film are still being dealt with in the middle east today as we speak. There is an excellent youtube video, that delves into the psychological layers of the film may be of some interest to you and others, if they so desire! I myself found it extremely helpful! I'll include the link at the bottom of this message. On a more recent note, very excited for "Planet of the damn dirty Apes" as well as "The Philadelphia Story" and of course "Working Girl". Hope your little ones are feeling better. You're doing great work, keep it up! 😉 https://youtu.be/t_V-h55jJRY?feature=shared
