Hey guys, how you hanging? Me? by a thread? Not actually but I am counting down the days until October is over. I love Halloween but also love when it's over! It was fun this week to throw a Halloween party for friends though. Not one of them knew who we were but I can count on you guys for that!!
"Andrew! I seem to have lost my ruby earrings somewhere between 64th and 68th street, find them."
Anyways!!
We are officially done Scary But Not Too Scary (TM) movies over here! In fact we are getting Big Fish this week which was our trivia winner's pick! I also posted two Tender November Polls (pre and post 1970) so go vote on both of those!
I am planning on a sequels poll and a Cassie Picks poll this month as well!
Ok in other big news! Carly and I are launching a podcast TODAY!!! WHAT!? I know! We are anxiously excited and I think it will be fun. You can check out the first two episodes early right now for free on our Popcorn TO GO patreon HERE! It will go totally public this evening on youtube and wherever you listen to your pods where you can always listen for free. Patreon is just for some extra perks n things.
I want to assure you that things will continue totally as normal here! This is my one true bed you know?!
Also wanted to let you know that October YT edits are going to leak into November a bit. This week will be Haunting of Hill House episodes 3-10 on YT and SAW! The following week will be What Lies Beneath, Cabin in the Woods and Big Fish! All good things all good things.
Ok I think that's a big fat update so thanks as always for listening to my blah blah blah! May your week be filled with cute trick or treaters and lots of Reese's!

2024-11-08 22:37:10 +0000 UTCNever seen it, but there's a TON of people online that have listed it as one of the most traumatizing movie experiences of their childhood. Been mentioned a lot on other channels and comments under Cassie and Carly's podcast.
Chris Thom
2024-11-04 22:42:24 +0000 UTCMostly movies and stuff, Ben. but they have such a good rapport, it generally wanders into the realms of "whatever". I think that makes for a good podcast, personally. Have a couple of bullet points to get started, but then let the conversation go where it goes. As someone else has already mentioned, it's Cassie and Carly we're there for, so it doesn't matter much what they discuss.
Clarence Newman
2024-11-04 20:24:18 +0000 UTCWhat do they talk about on the podcast? Just whatever?
Ben Schwartz
2024-11-04 20:00:59 +0000 UTCI don't see it on her list, Chris.
Clarence Newman
2024-11-04 13:45:30 +0000 UTCI'm assuming we'll be getting back into the last three Star Trek TNG movies sometime in November and December as well. Maybe hit the three reboot (Kelvin Timeline) movies after the new year?
D. T. Nelson
2024-11-02 23:26:31 +0000 UTCIn Canada Rembrance Day the 11 th as you know and you got American Thanksgiving. So how about War Movies and if you want throw in some Pilgrims.

2024-11-02 22:46:01 +0000 UTCHasn't Cassie already seen Who Framed? If not, I agree its a must!
Chris Clarke
2024-11-01 20:56:33 +0000 UTCIf you guys are throwing out rabbit movies, then I'm voting for Jessica!

2024-11-01 20:32:00 +0000 UTCHow about "Night of the Lepus" (1972). 😆

Gray
2024-11-01 04:28:26 +0000 UTCYes, Chuck, I caught "Fury Road" on HBO one night, from about half an hour in (when the girls first unshackle Max) and watched it until there was about half an hour left before turning it off; I was that uninvested in the story. There was no sense to me that Max was the same character as in the first 3 movies. And Tom Hardy frankly looked bored. I view it as more of an in-universe spinoff than a proper sequel to the first 3 movies.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-11-01 02:03:16 +0000 UTC@Chuck - agree 100%.
Richard Maurer
2024-10-31 23:54:26 +0000 UTC@Byrd - Yeah I agree with the Mad Max Trilogy. Unpopular opinion I kinda think Fury Road is a little overrated personally. I'll take the original trilogy over it anyday.
Chuck Schuldiner
2024-10-31 22:13:15 +0000 UTC@Biggman83 - Yeah I have to agree for the most part very disappointing October this year for me personally (probably the most disappointing one yet). Started off fine with The Frighteners and then it seemed like nothing but action, thriller and superhero movies with very mild horror themes (Underworld, Blade, Constantine and The Village). Even though I personally don't mind The Village and actually enjoyed The Blade reaction - the other 2 are action/superhero movies and are very very tame for October. Another one that I did not care for (unpopular opinion) was the Haunting of Hill House. Recently finished it and honestly it was more of a family drama show than a horror tv show. Kinda don't get the hype around this show (most of it was boring AF) - Are you Afraid of the Dark? and the Goosebumps tv shows from the 90s were more centered around the Horror genre than Hill House was. But yeah I agree the trick poll should not contain anymore superhero/action/mystery/thriller films that are definitely NOT Horror films in any way shape or form.
Chuck Schuldiner
2024-10-31 22:00:31 +0000 UTCWatership Down for next October! It's just been upgraded to 4k. Cassie, treat it a bit like Lord of The Rings: a masterpiece with the occasional scary scene. 🐰🐰
Chris Clarke
2024-10-31 21:39:13 +0000 UTCAgreed, but LOTR is an extreme exception where more is still not enough!
Clarence Newman
2024-10-31 21:29:24 +0000 UTC@Brent: Yes, there would definitely be some overlap.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-10-31 21:23:40 +0000 UTC@Byrd: Interesting because I consider BIG FISH and ED WOOD as maybe his two best films. After that, I love PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE, BEETLEJUICE, both BATMAN movies, EDWARDS SCISSORHANDS, SLEEPY HOLLOW and SWEENEY TODD. His PLANET OF THE APES remake is definitely near the bottom, but I'd still rather watch it again than DUMBO, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY or MARS ATTACKS.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-10-31 21:22:47 +0000 UTCBen is like the shark in Jaws. You don't see much of him, but whenever he appears, Cassie jumps out of her skin.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-31 20:21:53 +0000 UTC🙄
inspectordh
2024-10-31 19:30:59 +0000 UTCLotR extended cuts are the best examples of doing it right . They don’t change the theatrical cuts significantly, just enhance them.
Richard Maurer
2024-10-31 18:10:49 +0000 UTCI thought he was a time traveling Bill Paxton.
Richard Maurer
2024-10-31 18:06:27 +0000 UTCI honestly would love to see Ben on the channel. I bet Ben and Cassie make quite the duo/double act. Now they have the podcast, maybe Ben could make a guest appearance on Popcorn to go?!
Mark White
2024-10-31 17:33:45 +0000 UTC@Richard, at this time there is insufficient evidence to go to a grand jury.😆
Joe
2024-10-31 15:51:18 +0000 UTC@ Clarence - I think with the “ringers” thing the implication is not necessarily that Cassie wants to watch the “ringers” but to avoid other films winning. As I said earlier I really doubt this is actually true, but some of the trick polls, with Blade and Constantine on them, seemed suspicious.
Richard Maurer
2024-10-31 13:01:04 +0000 UTCIt also often depends which version you see first, Byrd. I've never been a Star Wars fan, but I'm sure if I'd seen the "improved", CGI'd-up version first, it would be hard to accept the original.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-31 11:28:58 +0000 UTCGranted, Clarence, many of these director's cuts are a result of studio meddling -- i.e. a result of studio heads insisting that directors 'dumb down' their film for the broadest appeal possible (which very rarely works). Ridley Scott is probably the most prominent example of this, given "Blade Runner," "Legend," and "Kingdom of Heaven" (of course, his director's cut of "Alien" isn't really a director's cut in the traditional sense, in that it's not meant to usurp the original theatrical cut, but rather serve as an 'alternate take,' so to speak). Of course, there are also some instances where the original theatrical cut just didn't quite reach the filmmaker's vision due to technological restrictions at the time, i.e. the original Star Wars trilogy and Spielberg's "Close Encounters" and "E.T." While I acknowledge there were some genuine improvements made in both cases, I also acknowledge that some alterations were unnecessary.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-10-31 11:20:56 +0000 UTCI like "Big Fish," but I'd ultimately consider it one of Tim Burton's more mid-range films. I like it more than "Ed Wood," though, which I consider his most incredibly overrated film. I mean, "Ed Wood" is good, but far from his best work, as so many seem to think. 🤷♂️ His "Planet of the Apes" remake will likely always be his weakest, though. I'd ask for "Batman Returns," but, given how much Cassie and Carly didn't like the first one, it's probably not going to happen... in which case "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" is my top Burton request for Cassie to watch.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-10-31 10:10:44 +0000 UTCThere would be some crossover I bet.
Brent Petty
2024-10-31 08:39:18 +0000 UTCLooking forward to it. I agree too - if I were to do a list of Greatest Films Ever and a second one with My All-Time Favourites, they would be two very different lists.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-31 08:33:16 +0000 UTCI've used a bit of AI software to remove the heart from the picture Cassie posted and uncover the face of her hubby. I can finally reveal that Cassie is married to Tony Romo.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-31 08:27:03 +0000 UTCI'm not a great one for alternate versions of movies - Director's cuts and such. First of all, it's the theatrical version I watch first and therefore fall in love with (if I like it, of course), and it messes with my sense of feng shui when I then watch a version that's different. Mostly I don't mind, especially if I haven't seen the film, but there are two examples that really bug me. One - The Cincinnati Kid (1965) - my favourite Steve McQueen film. I won't spoil it because I hope Cassie watches that one eventually, but there are two endings to that film - one that ends on a freeze frame and one that carries on a few seconds longer. That may not sound like much, but for me, those few seconds totally ruin the ending of the film. The director wanted the freeze frame, but was overruled by his nimrod of a producer. Fortunately, both versions are out there and I have the right one. The other example doesn't concern a director's cut, but it is a changed premise that has always bugged me when I watch the film. Why oh why Quentin Tarantino saw fit to use two different takes of the "If any of you pricks move" speech in the two coffee shop scenes in Pulp Fiction is beyond me. When Honeybunny gets the line wrong the second time, something inside me always screams "That's not what she saaaaaaiiiiiidd!" Basically, I'm a traditionalist. Give me the theatrical version every time, unless (LOTR) there's a VERY good reason to watch the Director's Cut.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-31 08:19:21 +0000 UTCI love COOL HAND LUKE too (and I just introduced my 11-year-old niece to it this past weekend). I don't know that I would say BIG FISH is as iconic a film as LUKE is, but it probably resonates with me more in a very personal way. Hence, my characterizing it as one of my favorites rather than "one of the greatest films ever made," but it is a gem -- arguably Tin Burton's best -- and most of the people I talk to who know about it love it. I hope you like it too.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-10-31 08:13:42 +0000 UTCYour reputation's on the line here, Stick. I haven't seen Big Fish, but you picked it so I have high expectations. My equivalent would be Cool Hand Luke with Paul Newman (1967).
Clarence Newman
2024-10-31 08:06:35 +0000 UTCThat's the one, Clarence.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-10-31 05:01:26 +0000 UTCYes, finally, another movie that genuinely appeals to me -- something Cassie hasn't watched since her double whammy of "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood." 😕
Byrd N. Hand
2024-10-31 04:31:40 +0000 UTCYeah, Chris, I don't know why she didn't just watch "Revolutions" shortly after "Reloaded" -- especially given its cliffhanger ending. But I'm sure she'll re-watch that one (if not also the first one) on her own time if she needs a refresher. As for "Superman II," in a perfect world, she'd watch both versions of it, but it's likely just going to be one, in which case I'd go with the theatrical cut by a hair -- mostly because I feel it handles 2 crucial story elements better than the Donner cut, one of which regards how it ends.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-10-31 04:16:53 +0000 UTCClarence: by "Superman II", do you mean The Richard Donner Cut? Or the theatrical version? Gotta go with the Donner cut.
bgb1975
2024-10-31 03:14:55 +0000 UTCI wonder if Matrix 3 would make sense to her. It's been so long since she saw the first two. But I agree, she needs to finish those. And Hannibal, too.
Chris Thom
2024-10-31 01:59:05 +0000 UTCIt's on the channel if you haven't seen it yet. Nine months ago or so?
Chris Thom
2024-10-31 01:57:43 +0000 UTC😂😂you do make me laugh Clarence🤣 Yeah I could do with a bit of trek right now. It’s been a tough few weeks and I find Cassie’s trek reactions pure escapism.
Mark White
2024-10-31 00:15:05 +0000 UTCI’m on board with the sequels! But as Clarence said, Lock Stock not a sequel, but the First and for me the best of those movies. Which includes RocknRolla. Cassie, you got to watch Lock stock and two smoking barrels, for me it’s better than Snatch! And snatch is a good movie. Also RocknRolla got some big and familiar names in there, including Gerard Butler, Tom Hardy and Idris Elba.
Mark White
2024-10-31 00:09:52 +0000 UTCI havent seen it. But it's based from a book with the same name from 1956 🙂
Björn Karlsson
2024-10-30 23:58:16 +0000 UTCIt's one of my favorite films.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-10-30 23:58:07 +0000 UTCShe did get it requested a TON this year.
Chris Thom
2024-10-30 23:47:59 +0000 UTCThey both would.
Brent Petty
2024-10-30 23:39:30 +0000 UTCBig Fish is really good.
Brent Petty
2024-10-30 23:39:11 +0000 UTCMe too.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-10-30 22:58:20 +0000 UTCI think she would love that movie.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-10-30 22:58:13 +0000 UTCLooked fantastic in that costume
Chuck M
2024-10-30 22:51:48 +0000 UTCAnd, while it is a bit of a mystery/suspence/sci-fi, I dare say Cassie would call FREQUENCY tender. Perhaps it time to finally watch that one.
Seymor Butz
2024-10-30 22:11:26 +0000 UTCYeah, so excited for Big Fish
Seymor Butz
2024-10-30 22:03:01 +0000 UTC@Mike - Cookies you say? well all I have to say is; no more Star Trek ever!
Richard Maurer
2024-10-30 21:01:19 +0000 UTCI missed "Magic" on your list, Byrd. The Anthony Hopkins one, yes? That is a really creepy film!
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 20:34:00 +0000 UTCYou need to watch The Champ, guys (1979). It will literally make you retain water. I've watched it a dozen times and I'm sure that's why I can multi-task.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 20:31:06 +0000 UTCHappy trails anyway, mate.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 20:22:28 +0000 UTCI just liked my own post, though. That'll help.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 20:16:48 +0000 UTCRichard. I do struggle to hold my own when Mike starts complaining about Star Trek. I always end up feeling like Jim Carrey in Liar Liar: "There's too much bloody Star Trek!" "I object, your Honour!" "Why?" "Because it's devastating to my case!"
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 20:15:54 +0000 UTC@Richard - Come on over, we have cookies.
Mike Lemon
2024-10-30 20:05:05 +0000 UTC@ Bjorn - just watched a Swedish sci-fi movie called Anihara, have you seen it, and what did you think? I liked it quite a bit personally.
Richard Maurer
2024-10-30 18:06:56 +0000 UTCYou know, I’ve been fairly supportive of the Star Trek fans but you’re starting to push me over to Mikes side ;-)
Richard Maurer
2024-10-30 18:03:19 +0000 UTCI personally did pick it for her... Well, along with four others. :-)
Stick Figure Studios
2024-10-30 16:30:50 +0000 UTCExactly. An eternity!
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 16:21:03 +0000 UTCI know Cassie watched Young Frankenstein, I was just mentioning it as a great Terri Garr performance.
Richard Maurer
2024-10-30 16:10:41 +0000 UTCIt's a problem that Cassie just doesn't like horror. I wonder if it might be better just skipping the seasonal movies altogether and run a regular schedule rather than shoehorning sub-par movies trying to fill the October space
Neighbourhood Watch Alliance
2024-10-30 16:10:09 +0000 UTC+1 for the Mad Max trilogy.
Richard Maurer
2024-10-30 16:07:22 +0000 UTCA month wait for Star Trek fans, a year for horror fans.
Richard Maurer
2024-10-30 16:05:46 +0000 UTCEDWARD SCISSORHANDS Is the Tim Burton film that she's liked the most so far (BEETLEJUICE and SLEEPY HOLLOW were pretty mixed). I think she would also like ED WOOD, but I'm of the opinion there's a couple classic movies she should see first to really appreciate that one.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-10-30 15:38:19 +0000 UTCThe Omen's a definite no. No idea about the others.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 15:24:23 +0000 UTCI am not averse.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 15:21:24 +0000 UTCThanks for the clarification, Mike, but your take on ignoring the original Mad Max and going straight to Road Warrior....is WELL cheating! You're right in one way, because Mad Max 2 is a great film on its own, but we can't ignore the original. (Just please not the version they dubbed in American.)
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 15:19:29 +0000 UTCHer and Carly watching the remaining 11 James Bond movies would be nice, too.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-10-30 15:18:05 +0000 UTCI feel there are still plenty of titles from the late '60s through the mid-'80s that will sufficiently freak Cassie out that she hasn't said 'absolutely NOT' to yet, such as George A. Romero's "Living Dead" movies, Roman Polanski's 'Apartment' trilogy ("Repulsion," "Rosemary's Baby," and "The Tenant") "The Other," "The Possession of Joel Delaney," "Sisters," "Theater of Blood," "The Legend of Hell House," "Don't Look Now," "The Wicker Man," "The Omen," "Suspiria," "Martin," "Magic," "The Fog," and "The Howling," for starters.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-10-30 15:14:05 +0000 UTCI don't understand the need for "ringers" in polls. It suggests they're put in there because Cassie wants to watch them anyway, and if that's the case....why not watch them anyway??
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 15:12:50 +0000 UTCYes to the original Mad Maxes, Byrd. Very tentatively yes to Hannibal and Red Dragon (they're so good but will make Cassie squirm for 2 hours) and definitely yes to T3.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 15:09:27 +0000 UTCI cannot express how excited I am to see your reaction to "Big Fish", if I could have personally picked one movie for you, that would have been the one. Can't wait!
Ren McG
2024-10-30 15:02:03 +0000 UTCShe needs to *finally* finish the "Matrix" trilogy as well (no need to mention the fourth one). I'd also like her to finally watch the original "Mad Max" trilogy, as well as continue on with Hannibal Lecter with "Red Dragon" and "Hannibal" (as with Matrix 4, screw "Hannibal Rising"). I also have a soft spot for "Terminator 3."
Byrd N. Hand
2024-10-30 14:59:43 +0000 UTCOlder, less scary horror fare may indeed be the best (and only) road ahead for her. She can't up the ante anymore, and many highly requested films remain on her never-to-be watched list.
Joe
2024-10-30 14:54:48 +0000 UTCOverall I agree with most of what has been said in the replies to my post, with a few minor differences not worth going into. In regards to what Clarence said, I have to admit some slight satisfaction that after so recently being called a whiner for complaining about the Halloween polls, I see people complaining about the very same thing in the Tender polls. It made voting for Coming to America just a little bit sweeter. I mean I really used my normal voting procedure which is to vote for the movie I liked best in the poll, but hey, the irony made it an even easier pick. That being said I do also feel some empathy for the people who are against it winning ( see, we horror fans can feel empathy). This problem with the wrong films being polls has been going on for awhile, and doesn’t seem to be changing. Some people have put forth theories that this is intentional, that “ringers” are put into polls to affect the outcome. I certainly hope this isn’t the case, and I doubt it’s true, at least in most cases. I think it’s more likely to be a lack of either knowledge or effort on the part of whoever is choosing the poll choices. But due to how often this happens I can see where people might think it’s a product of concerted efforts to affect the outcome of the polls.
Richard Maurer
2024-10-30 13:29:50 +0000 UTCYou're in luck, Bjorn. Star Trek: First Contact contains a race called the Borg, which, when combined with your first name, could not be more Swedish.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 11:40:30 +0000 UTCLast time Cassie did a swedish movie is like never...🙄
Björn Karlsson
2024-10-30 11:35:58 +0000 UTCHaha. The Overboard cos play is epic! Great film! It's probably my favorite romantic comedy aside from Crazy Stupid Love.
Author Travis Adams Irish
2024-10-30 11:22:28 +0000 UTCYes I"m hitting myself this morning. I could have been one of the first thousand subscribers last night. A missed chance. But I am one of the second thousand subscribers this morning!
Mike LL
2024-10-30 10:52:55 +0000 UTCMichael! It's been over a month. Therefore a month and a week. And counting. It's cruel and unusual punishment!
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 10:12:57 +0000 UTCSequel time! A Shot In The Dark (Cassie really needs to see a fully unleashed Clouseau) Jaws 2 (better than it's given credit for, plus annoying teenagers get eaten, so it's well fun) Superman 2 (really solid sequel. Far better than the first) Rambo 2 (I don't think Cassie would love it, but it's too iconic to miss) Crocodile Dundee 2 (Cassie and Carly owe us this big time, though the general consensus is that they're keeping it for Australia Day. We WILL take it earlier if they insist) The Godfather 3 (it's not as good as the first two, but Pacino is collossal as a world-weary Michael Corleone) Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (not a sequel to Snatch, but she started with the sequel, so come ahhhhhhhnnn!)
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 10:09:59 +0000 UTC@Clarence - Zatoichi and Road Warrior are stand alone sequels to movies not on the channel (all the Zatoichis are about the same and Road Warrior is barely connected to Mad Max), and Bride of Frankenstein is a good movie in a barely served genre. All were picked for variety without falling into the "we must watch every boring movie in franchise because...reasons" nonsense. Viva variety! edit- "Plus, Cassie would need to watch the original Mad Max before she can watch the superior sequel." No she doesn't. Most of Americans over 35ish (40?) didn't even know of Mad Max before they saw Road Warrior. The first movie has no effect on the second.
Mike Lemon
2024-10-30 10:01:40 +0000 UTCYes, Heaven forbid they have to wait a week. Everything must bow to their wants.
Mike Lemon
2024-10-30 09:55:33 +0000 UTCIt's funny. I've never seen Big Fish and don't know anything about it, but I'm excited to see the reaction because people are saying Cassie will love it.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 09:51:56 +0000 UTCThat's a confusing list, Mike. You're clearly joking about Leonard, but isn't Bride of Frankenstein a good movie? It's making me wonder if Zatoichi is really good or really bad. Plus, Cassie would need to watch the original Mad Max before she can watch the superior sequel. You know this already, but I am currently confused.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 09:50:32 +0000 UTCShe won't be watching Nosferatu in December, Mark, not after the ride she's had this October, and unfortunately, there's a second obstacle. One is the fact that it's a very well-done and scary movie, and two, it's a silent, which she has shown zero interest in so far. If we can get Cassie to break through her current barrier of 1930 and dip her toe in a couple of silents (Buster Keaton and Laurel & Hardy to begin with), I think Nosferatu would naturally follow.

2024-10-30 09:44:18 +0000 UTCThis seems to be a popular opinion in regard to polls in general. We all have movies on our lists and most of them fall into specific genres. So when a poll comes up that is clearly genre/era/ambience specific (Tender November being a perfect example of ambience), it can be frustrating when a spot on that list is taken by something that doesn't belong there. I love Coming To America as a movie, but it doesn't really belong on a Tender poll. I would have replaced it with Lost In Translation or Cocktail and put Coming To America on a Comedy poll instead. The Trick or Treat polls should have been clearly separated - your Saws, Blair Witches, Flys and Its on the Trick, your Blades, Underworlds and Death Becomes Her on the Treat. That would make more sense. I don't have too much of a problem with the content of polls myself; as long as there are good movies on there, I'm happy. But surely it wouldn't take too much effort to ensure that every movie on the list actually belongs there.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 09:36:21 +0000 UTCRichard, I second your sentiments. On a side note, I grew weary of hearing some of the detractors claiming that they had “empathy” and so were unable to enjoy horror films. As if those that enjoy horror movies were sociopaths that lacked empathy. It’s a very passive-aggressive form of virtue signaling. “I guess I just don’t like horror films because I’m such a good person.”
Just Plain Bob
2024-10-30 09:21:48 +0000 UTCHeads up for Cassie re the continued wait for Star Trek: First Contact. The way your Trekkies are feeling right now is very similar to how Spock was feeling while under the influence of the Pon Farr. We beseech theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Shawn Kildal
2024-10-30 09:17:53 +0000 UTCThis was a disappointing Oct, I’d say it’s the worst on record. Trick polls need to be made up of consistent horror movies of different genres from different decades. Not saying cassie must watch the Terrifier movies. But embracing being scared or shocked by horror movies is freeing and you learn to enjoy them for what they are. It also doesn’t make us bad people for enjoying them. I get that Horror has stigmatism attached to it. It’s unfortunately a victim of religious intervention telling us it’s wrong to watch, but it’s also what has driven the studios marketing campaigns for decades, it only has itself to blame for the bad rep and some terrible movies searching for headlines. A good horror movie is as good as riding the best rollercoasters. GIVE HORROR A CHANCE!

2024-10-30 06:37:12 +0000 UTCRichard, I completely agree with you about the Treat poll including older films. The Universal Monsters, the Val Lewton thrillers, and various 50's monster films would be appropriate. My wish list remains to be Nosferatu, The Ring, Night of the Living Dead, and The Blair Witch Project. Overall, it was an average-to-above average October. There are still plenty of good horror movies for Cassie to watch.
Mark Vaderr
2024-10-30 06:12:09 +0000 UTCThat is a great couples costume idea, you look great! 😂🙌🏻🥳 You're a great Goldie Hawn, one could say you went a bit Overboard...😅🙈

Shad Kanyak
2024-10-30 05:18:09 +0000 UTCThis was a truly disappointing October for me from pretty much all of my favorite reactors. 🙎♂️ Overall, too many damn titles from more recent years for my tastes. I'd definitely like to see a better balance struck between newer and older horror films. Ideally, I'd divide them into categories of *21st century*/*late '60s through the end of the 20th century* (when movies started getting legitimately scary by today's standards, IMO)/*pre-late '60s.*

2024-10-30 04:52:57 +0000 UTCWell, I'm very surprised 'Star Trek: First Contact' still not coming down the pike, it'll be 30 days tomorrow since 'Star Trek Generations', either she's all Star Trekked out or she's wants to take her time getting to the remaining movies.

Cole Jennett
2024-10-30 02:41:46 +0000 UTCSince October is almost over and some here are writing it off already, I’d like to say a few things that I (and likely other horror fans) would like to see next year. This isn’t meant to be combative or “whining”as some of our detractors are fond of saying, but instead is meant to be a constructive critique of this year’s Halloween month. If we continue Trick and Treat polls or some variation of them I would hope the Trick polls would consist of real horror films and not action or comedies standing in for them. They don’t have to be the scariest ones, just real ones. As for the Treat polls I don’t really care much what goes in them as they’re mostly irrelevant to me. But it would be nice if one the polls were older horror films - pre-80’s - as most of these films are not really scary.

In High School he got me into classic rock because, when his brother went off to college, Matt sold his music collection to us fellow students. lol We'd see each other around town often after high school. He was a bouncer at a local bar. He was good at diffusing trouble as you can imagine.

2024-10-30 00:22:14 +0000 UTC@Larry - I didn't even attempt that one after I heard how bad it is.
Mike Lemon
2024-10-30 00:15:40 +0000 UTCNope. Gigli (2003). I snuck into that one after seeing another film at the theater. I think the fact that I chose to spend 2 free hours at the theater watching that, made it WAY worse. If that was even possible. Worst gamble ever. Worst film ever. (Sorry Martin Brest… hope to see you come back one day ;-)
Larry Darrell
2024-10-30 00:13:02 +0000 UTCIt's not the worst I've seen (Nail Gun Massacre) though it is pretty bad, but I like it for some reason.

2024-10-29 23:58:48 +0000 UTCAhhhh!!!...sequels. Fine, how about Leonard part 6 (1987) or Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo (1970) or The Road Warrior (1981) or Bride of Frankenstein (1935). OK, Leonard isn't a sequel, but it is named "part 6" so...?

I’d just like to add in a few more. -She’s Having a Baby - Chances Are - Tootise - Heaven Can Wait - Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - He Said, She Said - Regarding Henry And since you recommended last Upcoming but didn’t put it on your list this time, I’m going to add it for you…Indian Summer (it looks really good, and I plan on watching it some time this week).

Richard Maurer
2024-10-29 23:39:00 +0000 UTCSweet. A sequel poll. Grumpier Old Men would be a perfect choice for the Tender November theme. Blade 2 would be a great one but Scary But Not Too Scary has come and gone. Matrix Revolutions would be ideal. That one's very long overdue. US Marshals would be a good one. An unofficial sequel to The Fugitive centered on Tommy Lee Jones' character and his squad. Also starring Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr. A Shot In The Dark. Sequel to The Pink Panther. You will laugh your A$$ off. Crocodile Dundee 2. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Batman Returns. Predator 2. Alien 3. (Personal picks. Opinions will vary).
Zane From Canada
2024-10-29 23:38:34 +0000 UTCI could be misremembering, but I believe she did actually ask me in an email If there was one I preferred and I had to say honestly that there was not. They're all among my favorite movies and titles that I would love to see a reaction to, so I couldn't possibly choose just one. I told her I'd be fine if she opted to just pick one herself or she could put them in a poll If she wanted (although I suspected recently bias would probably help BIG FISH come in first there anyway). It's all a win/win for me.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-10-29 23:35:32 +0000 UTCAwesome costumes Cassie! Really well done! But I would have bet one months mortgage that you and Ben were going to go as Baby and Johnny from Dirty Dancing.

2024-10-29 23:34:33 +0000 UTCI debated on whether to say something or not but it ultimately kind of felt weird to leave a community after a few years without some kind of farewell (even if no one notices or cares). I may not have always agreed with others take here, but I did enjoy the conversations that have been had (regardless whether I was part of those conversations or not). I wish you all well in the upcoming holidays and beyond. Good night and goodbye. -Mario

Dan M
2024-10-29 23:32:51 +0000 UTCHey Cassie, hope the rest of your October is fun and stress free. Some suggestions for November Polls: *Six Days, Seven Nights (Harrison Ford) *The Secret Of My Success (Michael J. Fox) *One Fine Day (George Clooney) *The Majestic (Jim Carrey) *Kate & Leopold (Hugh Jackman & Meg Ryan) *Cocktail (Tom Cruise) *Where The Heart Is (Natalie Portman) *Nine Months (Robin Williams, Hugh Grant, Julianne Moore) *Love Potion No. 9 (Sandra Bullock) *The Truth About Cats & Dogs (Uma Thurman) *Bed Of Roses (Christian Slater) *Look Who's Talking (John Travolta & Kirstie Alley) *Now and Then (Christina Ricci, Demi Moore, Rita Wilson, Melanie Griffith) *Yours, Mine and Ours (Lucille Ball) *South Pacific *Three Men and a Little Lady (same cast) *Flashdance *Some Kind Of Wonderful (80's Romance) *Indian Summer (Bill Paxton, Diane Lane, Alan Arkin, Elisabeth Perkins) (late entry Recommendation) It's a large list but I hope it helps with some ideas

2024-10-29 23:24:23 +0000 UTCThat's a great costume choice, you pull off Goldie well, however I think her early on mean spirited attitude might be hard for you to pull off. Cannot wait for the finish of Hill House and to see how you felt about it at the end.

2024-10-29 23:23:31 +0000 UTCI agree. I'm tempted to call it Tim Burton's best movie (although ED WOOD is another contender). I love it and have suspected for a while that Cassie would too. Hence my submitting it. I'm pleased that she chose it (although, honestly, would have been fine with whichever one she picked).

2024-10-29 23:23:14 +0000 UTC"Not one of them knew who we were." I can't blame them, if Ben completely covers his face with a huge heart! I'm looking forward to Big Fish. Good luck with the podcast.

2024-10-29 23:21:18 +0000 UTCI'm glad at least one of us has had a good October, work has been kicking my butt this entire month, I couldn't even finish enjoying my tradition of watching one horror movie per day like I do every October, that's how out of it I was! If there is anything positive that did come out of this month, it would be my attending to Son of Monsterpalooza and your reactions to Underworld and Blade! I'm so bummed you didn't get to react to Van Helsing, oh well, there's always next year or anytime rather! Van Helsing, like The Mummy, is one of those movies you can enjoy anytime of the year, I just choose Halloween because it's appropriate for the season lol! On Halloween night, I will be watching your reaction to one of my favorite horror movies, Sleepy Hollow lol! Nice costume Cassie, you nailed that look from Overboard, Goldie Hawn has got nothing on you lol 😁🥰 I'm guessing Ben is Kurt Russell's character, I can't remember the name lol! Hope you have a great week and a fun and safe Halloween coming up! Love and support always, you and Carly are the best, and God bless y'all and the family 🥰😇🙏😁🤗😉👍✌️🌹

2024-10-29 23:20:08 +0000 UTCI'm pretty certain you'll love Big Fish (2004), I saw that film when it was first released in 2004. I always thought it to be one of Tim Burton's best films. Please watch Ed Wood (1994) one day!!!

2024-10-29 23:20:02 +0000 UTCI saw it in the theater with my dad and we both loved it immediately (he did especially because -- without giving anything away -- the penultimate scene basically happened to him when he was in his twenties). I've only grown more fond of it over the years. I think it is quite possibly Tim Burton's best film.

2024-10-29 23:19:47 +0000 UTCBig Fish will be a cool watch. I graduated high school with Matt McGrory who played Karl the (no spoilers).

2024-10-29 23:18:46 +0000 UTCIn one of your horror polls (Trick poll on September 30th) you listed Invasion of the Body Snatchers and listed the year as 2000. It was pointed out repeatedly in the comments that no such movie existed from 2000, and since there are a couple versions of a movie with that title from other years (1956 and 1978), people were confused and didn't vote for it. But in those comments I saw people say repeatedly that you had announced you were going to watch the 1978 version already so nobody should worry about it. What happened with that? I and many others would have voted for the 1978 version of that movie if that was what you meant when you put it in the poll. I feel like it should be put back in future polls if that's what the error was.

2024-10-29 23:18:28 +0000 UTCI wasn't there for the live watchalong, but I'm guessing you probably didn't enjoy CABIN IN THE WOODS much. I think it's a very smart, very clever and at times very funny satirical horror movie myself, but I suspect you were so invested in the outcome of the poor innocent teens' plight that the self-aware digs at the scary movie tropes (much like SCREAM) wasn't much fun for you. Plus, that ending! On the one hand it's a very bold, provocative and darkly humorous one, but I could see you being very dissatisfied with it. I'm honestly surprised it won the poll. It's worth seeing, but I personally wouldn't have picked it for you. Anyway, I'm very curious to watch that reaction. An ending that I suspect you will be satisfied with though is HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE. I know it's been a rough ride for you, but it's all building to that last one and I'm confident that you will find that it was all worth it. It was for me. I loved it. It moved me to tears (as Mike Flanagan's stuff tends to do). Can't wait to see that reaction as well. But the reaction I am most excited about this week is obviously BIG FISH as it was one of my five submissions for winning the trivia night. I know you've had a spotty record with Tim Burton, but I (and a lot of other people who have also recommended it) have long believed that this is one of his films that you will just love. I am even tempted to call it his best movie (although ED WOOD is another contender). I won't say anything about the tone, the story or the genre of it... except to say that you should probably have tissues handy. Really looking forward to this week. Hope you have a happy Halloween. Those are great costumes. Best of luck with the podcast. :-)

2024-10-29 23:16:46 +0000 UTCAll the best with the new podcast, Cassie. I really hope Saw (2004) was NOT too traumatising for you. I personally don't think you should put any Saw sequels in the sequel poll. They are basically the Friday 13th movies of today, a never-ending stream of gory sequels. I remember a vintage Siskel & Ebert clip of Gene Siskel reviewing a Friday 13th sequel "Friday 13th: The Final Chapter (1984), I sure hope so but I doubt it!"... Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985) was then made and released just a year later!

2024-10-29 23:14:44 +0000 UTCBig Fish will be such an interesting watch! Big congratulations to Stick Figures for getting it watched. More eclectic Tim Burton movies are always an event. I too am so glad that October and scary movies are about to be over. I watched more of them than I thought I would, I enjoyed October more than I thought I would, but enough is enough! 😄

2024-10-29 23:11:17 +0000 UTCI didn't care for Big Fish when I saw it as a 24-year-old. After losing my parent over the years, I've come to appreciate it and get choked up a la Field of Dreams at the ending. Charming movie.
