Happy Fall All!!
Hope you had a great week! Ours was actually pretty uneventful, which was very nice for a change. My parents are coming to visit this week which we are so excited about. They are coming for the peaches and apples here, we are a nice bonus haha! September is going 300mph and I’m going to need the temps to drop (just a little) so I can fully enjoy it.
This week we have the official end to our TNG show journey, trying to decide if I could squeeze one of the movies in before Scary but not too Scary October! We also have our Runner Up Poll winners-Hot Fuzz (go Benji) and The Highlander (Hey, I did love OUTlander?!)
We will have a Halloween Poll coming this week already?! See? September is practically over, time for Halloween and Thanksgiving!! MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody!!
To review-Patreon Pop Quiz Trivia will be 9/30

Thanks for the awesome poster Dave
Annnnndddd thhhheennn YT LIVE 10/4, costume party for one too!!
Hope you all have the best week, may you have lots of fall soup and lots of fall adjacent movies/tv!!
Oooh actually tell me and all of us in the comments what are your fav cozy fall-adjacent movies/tv! I’m basic and love Gilmore Girls every fall! And When Harry Met Sally, Remember the Titans, I’ll definitely be rewatching Practical Magic and October Sky!
Love your socks off,
Cassie

Interstellar is on Netflix just fyi. So is Due Date for that matter

The Universal Classic Monsters are some of my favorites. She did the Frankenstein; I am still waiting for the Bride of Frankenstein.
Eddie Perkins
2024-09-27 02:09:26 +0000 UTC
I have never seen a reaction to Legend (1985), and along with myself, I know a lot of people who love that movie.
Eddie Perkins
2024-09-27 02:03:03 +0000 UTC
I loved Falling Down
Eddie Perkins
2024-09-27 01:57:47 +0000 UTC
She makes things a lot more horrifying in her mind than they actually are.
Eddie Perkins
2024-09-27 01:33:22 +0000 UTC
For a Halloween type Star Trek TNG episode I would recommend S7E19 "Genesis"
NJC
2024-09-26 01:29:27 +0000 UTC
"Falling Down" was a great one. Love the scene with the construction guys and the closed street. :)
bgb1975
2024-09-24 15:46:26 +0000 UTC
"The Cowboys" would be a good one. Bruce Dern was great.
bgb1975
2024-09-24 15:44:04 +0000 UTC
Cassie did say she and Carly used to watch Abbott & Costello as kids. I would have thought that was before her time but I'm sure her dad had something to do with that.
Shawn Kildal
2024-09-23 23:21:59 +0000 UTC
I uses to play that soundtrack a ton. Vastly underrated.
Shawn Kildal
2024-09-23 23:18:08 +0000 UTC
I don't think people like lesser quality movies. The real problem is people are close minded about movies. Many younger people don't want to give older movies a chance. But by the same token many older people don't want to give newer movies a chance. People in general don't like to go outside their comfort zones.
Richard Maurer
2024-09-23 14:35:02 +0000 UTC
Except for one scene I think Cassie would have no issue watching Doctor Sleep, the sequel to the Shining.
John P Tucker
2024-09-23 10:48:31 +0000 UTC
Haven't seen that vid yet. Is that the only Wes Anderson on the channel?
Chris Thom
2024-09-22 14:48:12 +0000 UTC
I don't think I'd want her to watch this much even of a franchise I loved.
Chris Thom
2024-09-22 14:46:54 +0000 UTC
Cassie has her boundaries, mostly demonic stuff. She has tackled a few films I never thought she'd get anywhere near. I'm just happy she does any horror/horror-lite films in October at all. She could simply skip it all. Cassie may secretly like "scary October" (haha).
Joe
2024-09-22 14:16:07 +0000 UTC
Silver Bullet, Bad Moon would be some other good picks.
John P Tucker
2024-09-22 01:04:08 +0000 UTC
I' m curious to see what's in the poll. Hoping it will make me smile, afraid it will make me punch the wall
Richard Maurer
2024-09-21 23:02:06 +0000 UTC
If you plan on watching Transformers One on this channel in the future, then you should watch some, if not all, of season one and two of the original cartoon from the 80's. And then you HAVE to watch the 1986 movie on the channel. Watch the movie before watching season 3.
Michael Martinez
2024-09-21 22:32:43 +0000 UTC
You could do a reaction to the Lonesome Dove miniseries now that TNG is over.
John P Tucker
2024-09-21 21:56:02 +0000 UTC
TV series, yes, movies: bring it on!
Odd Thomas
2024-09-21 18:38:46 +0000 UTC
I hope Cassie will share with us soon what is firmed up for scary October. If she watches Hill House, Constantine, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1978 (promised), I'll be a happy camper. If The Fly and IT: Chapter 2 happen, all the better.
Joe
2024-09-21 16:38:13 +0000 UTC
I'm good with that.
Mike Lemon
2024-09-21 13:33:00 +0000 UTC
Cassie has such a back log of promised horror movies she could practically do Halloween without a poll.
Richard Maurer
2024-09-21 13:15:46 +0000 UTC
Lololol
Marvin dishman
2024-09-21 11:23:56 +0000 UTC
There can be only one! 😂 Cue the Queen music.
John P Tucker
2024-09-21 11:23:04 +0000 UTC
I said the same thing. It’s less horror and more like Dracula is a cursed superhero.
John P Tucker
2024-09-21 11:22:15 +0000 UTC
At least spread them out a bit. Maybe one a month? It took about a year to get reactions to all 4 Lethal Weapons.
Brent Petty
2024-09-21 02:00:09 +0000 UTC
She's hinted that it is on the schedule.
Mike Lemon
2024-09-21 01:24:27 +0000 UTC
I would also recommend "Dracula Untold"
NJC
2024-09-20 22:31:47 +0000 UTC
Please no more Star Trek
David Bunnetto
2024-09-20 21:19:36 +0000 UTC
Cassie, are you going to watch episodes from all the Star Trek Series? Deep Space 9, Voyager, and Enterprise?
NJC
2024-09-20 20:37:22 +0000 UTC
@Clarence - not quite, but that did cause me to think less of her. I did end up leaving her patreon but that had more to do with her toxic community than her film opinions. But I'm still subscribed to her YT channel, though I don't watch it that much, only for certain things ( like Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
Richard Maurer
2024-09-20 15:28:04 +0000 UTC
Ooooh, a reactor who doesn't like LOTR? That's an instant unsubscribe for you, isn't it, Richard?
Clarence Newman
2024-09-20 15:10:29 +0000 UTC
Hugh Jackman’s “Van Helsing” would be a not so scary movie.
John P Tucker
2024-09-20 14:52:13 +0000 UTC
Yeah I don’t know if she could handle the ending.
John P Tucker
2024-09-20 14:48:38 +0000 UTC
Will this Halloween be the year Cassie finally watches The Fly?
Aaron Ritchie
2024-09-20 14:43:37 +0000 UTC
What I'm saying is Halloween is for Horror films especially here on Cassies' channel as they don't really get watched outside of October. And every year before Halloween we have to deal with people who insist that whatever vaguely horror adjacent film they want to see is a "Halloween" film . On one hand it's annoying, on the other it does sometimes lead to fun arguments.
Richard Maurer
2024-09-20 11:50:20 +0000 UTC
I remember Ashleigh Burton doing a reaction to It's a MMMM World and not liking it. But, considering she didn't like LotR or the Godfather that much, you really can't go by her taste in films.
Richard Maurer
2024-09-20 11:39:18 +0000 UTC
The following is what I like from your list:
The Fly (1958)
Cat People (1982) --- "This being the newer version"
Cujo (1983)
The Hitcher (1986)
They Live (1988)
Predator 2 (1990)
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Event Horizon (1997) --- "Might be too scary"
Blade (1998)
Death Proof (2007)
The Mist (2007)
Ron
2024-09-20 07:14:36 +0000 UTC
Oh that's right. Get it mixed up with Around the World in 80 days.
Chris Thom
2024-09-20 00:02:57 +0000 UTC
I think you should include Carly in your October Sky rewatch.
John Mulbury
2024-09-19 20:22:19 +0000 UTC
We're with you, Byrd. I'd be happy to drown in Star Trek myself, but fair is fair.
Clarence Newman
2024-09-19 19:41:04 +0000 UTC
She's seen that one.
Clarence Newman
2024-09-19 19:39:02 +0000 UTC
Shirley she has already.
Clarence Newman
2024-09-19 19:36:03 +0000 UTC

@Jef I recognize your name, do I know you from something big??
Zach McGrath
2024-09-19 13:37:16 +0000 UTC
You realize it’s a matter of taste, right? Plenty of people watch scary movies at Halloween that aren’t horror. No one said Star Trek was horror, you’re projecting that.
Zach McGrath
2024-09-19 13:35:30 +0000 UTC
No it isn't. Lord of the Rings has ghosts, undead Ringwraiths, giant spider demons, and various other monsters - still Not a horror movie.
Richard Maurer
2024-09-19 12:35:40 +0000 UTC
Cassie strongly implied she was going to watch the The Fly this year. I also read that she said she'd be doing It: Chapter 2.
Richard Maurer
2024-09-19 12:31:01 +0000 UTC
It fits in fine. It’s a freaking zombie movie, after all.
Jef Etters
2024-09-19 12:03:40 +0000 UTC
It's a 1963 "race to the prize" comedy with a multitude of stars - Spencer Tracy, Phil Silvers, Terry Thomas, Sid Ceasar, Johnathan Winters, Buddy Hackett, Mickey Rooney, Milton Berle, Ethel Merman and a slew of other big names of the screen that make cameos. It's really a classic.
bgb1975
2024-09-19 11:40:46 +0000 UTC
Really hoping for a break from Star Trek now that TNG is done (outside of the remaining 4 movies).
Byrd N. Hand
2024-09-19 10:14:35 +0000 UTC
@Rene -- Agreed. She can't keep sidestepping hard horror films forever, given all these 'not too scary' titles she'd burned through in the last few years.
Also, given that "The Fly" lost her last October poll last year by a single vote, Cassie may feel obligated to watch it for sure this year.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-09-19 09:56:00 +0000 UTC
But at what cost? He said, dramatically.
Richard Maurer
2024-09-19 03:56:45 +0000 UTC
🤞 Carly watches highlander
Marvin dishman
2024-09-19 03:55:13 +0000 UTC
@Joe The Mist somehow made a poll last Halloween. I was torn between The Mist and The Fly. I ended going with The Fly because of the one obvious reason you mentioned.
Richard Maurer
2024-09-19 03:53:46 +0000 UTC
Absolutely true! https://www.cbr.com/star-trek-spooky-halloween-episodes/
Zach McGrath
2024-09-19 03:44:43 +0000 UTC
Yes, nothing says Halloween like Star Trek. And for next Valentine's Day we can watch 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Richard Maurer
2024-09-19 03:43:40 +0000 UTC
Not sure I've heard of it. Is that an 80's movie with Steve Martin?
Chris Thom
2024-09-19 03:33:03 +0000 UTC
I think we can all agree Cassie and Carly need to watch both those movies.
James Allder
2024-09-19 03:00:55 +0000 UTC
Oh dang. With your comment I finally get that 'I spit on your garage' quote in Scream. Didn't know that was reference.
Chris Thom
2024-09-19 02:49:30 +0000 UTC
Or how about The Fly, Brood, Videodrome
Rene G.
2024-09-19 02:39:53 +0000 UTC
I'll give Hellraiser, REC, the Descent, Hills have Eyes, last house on the left, I Spit on Your GRave
Rene G.
2024-09-19 02:39:34 +0000 UTC
Pretty soon, she'll be running out of "not too scary" movies cos 99% of horror stuff aren't fitting that quote!
Rene G.
2024-09-19 02:38:51 +0000 UTC
If '80 nostalgia bait is a recurring problem, then I recommend watching Kung Fury. It will cure that which ails you.
ArsTropica
2024-09-19 01:01:33 +0000 UTC
... and we will have that reaction ... in this life or the next!
ArsTropica
2024-09-19 00:54:55 +0000 UTC
Pitch Black would make a good candidate for October's Scary but not too Scary, well, actually... quite scary entry.
ArsTropica
2024-09-19 00:53:17 +0000 UTC
There was another channel that tried reacting to the full series, but they stopped midway through season 2. Certain episodes didn't age well at all... but it could have worked with a top 4/5 episodes per season quota.
ArsTropica
2024-09-19 00:06:30 +0000 UTC
Okay you win.
Dan M
2024-09-19 00:06:02 +0000 UTC
Super excited about Hot Fuzz! Also, BTW, just watched the full length reaction to The Grand Budapest Hotel…great reaction to a great movie! @Cassie-check out Royal Tennenbaums, a fantastic Wes Anderson film.
Aaron A. Aaronson
2024-09-18 22:00:08 +0000 UTC
everyone would love this, great recommendation.

Oh we will hound her until she does. But as Djimon Hounsou says in Gladiator: "Not yet.....not yet."
Clarence Newman
2024-09-18 21:00:07 +0000 UTC
A genuinely funny film! She'll love it.
Clarence Newman
2024-09-18 20:58:43 +0000 UTC
Edward Scissorhands and Practical Magic are on the channel if you haven't seen them yet.
Chris Thom
2024-09-18 20:42:42 +0000 UTC
Richard, Lee & Cushing were always great together in any film. Cushing was a gamer and went solo for that last one "The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires". Maybe one too many (haha).
Joe
2024-09-18 20:42:31 +0000 UTC
Funny thing about "You've Got Mail" and its sister film, "Sleepless In Seattle". In "Sleepless" I thought Meg's character was not suitable for Tom (too ditzy). In "Mail", I thought Tom's character wasn't right for Meg (too corporate-minded).
Clarence Newman
2024-09-18 20:37:50 +0000 UTC
Soon Star Trek Generations!
RJ MacReady
2024-09-18 20:36:34 +0000 UTC
It is allowed, Chris, but only thrice in one comment thread. Therefore, having already endorsed Dead Poets Society thrice once, I am now going to endorse it thrice more twice more.
Come on, Cassie. That's 9 endorsements in one thread (10 including Michael's). You cannot ignore such a landslide, even if ArsTrop is correct and you've already cheated on us by watching it off channel!
Clarence Newman
2024-09-18 20:34:31 +0000 UTC
Fright Night (1985) would be great, I've also been keeping "The Fog (1980) on her radar. I don't think either film could win a poll.
Joe
2024-09-18 20:12:02 +0000 UTC
really hoping for star trek deep space nine now TNG is done
john reed
2024-09-18 20:10:49 +0000 UTC
I loved the series, but can't see Cassie staying engaged at all for a 100+ episodes.
Joe
2024-09-18 19:21:43 +0000 UTC
That movie would crush her for one obvious reason, so no-go on that one.
Joe
2024-09-18 19:16:15 +0000 UTC
I rewatched Highlander a couple of months ago and enjoyed it.

Highlander is a rip-roaring good time, I never noticed any aging problems with the film (haha).
Joe
2024-09-18 17:09:06 +0000 UTC
October halloween movies: Chucky, Clockwork Orange, Hellraiser, Friday the 13th, nightmare on elm street 2-5, Exorcist (I don't care if she refuses, it's mandatory), REC, The Craft, The Descent.
Rene G.
2024-09-18 16:19:18 +0000 UTC

D.M. Lipkin
2024-09-18 13:28:35 +0000 UTC
Yeah, I lost my nostalgia goggles somewhere along the line, so now when I go back and watch 80's movies my reaction a lot of the time is ' what was I thinking?'.
Richard Maurer
2024-09-18 13:00:13 +0000 UTC
As for Hammers' Dracula films, Christopher Lee himself only liked the first three - Horror of D, D, Prince of Darkness, and D Has Rosen From the Grave. I agree with him except that I do enjoy the forth one, Taste the Blood of D, but still it's not as good as the first three. Lee basically did three after that as a favor to the people at Hammer, as they were getting into financial trouble at that point.
I wouldn't mind Arsenic and Old Lace being on a horror comedy poll, mostly because I know it would lose. But what I do mind is having a horror comedy poll at all, as most of the good ones have been done already.
Richard Maurer
2024-09-18 12:37:45 +0000 UTC
If you enjoyed Remember the Titans, I recommend the true story We Are Marshall as well!

"Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall".
Richard Maurer
2024-09-18 12:18:36 +0000 UTC
Yes, and no. It's a fall movie but more of a horror movie. So, since Cassie asked for non-horror fall movies it doesn't qualify.
Richard Maurer
2024-09-18 12:14:25 +0000 UTC
The series(minus the last season that was godawful) is also really good and would make for a great reaction series
Paul-Mihail Draghioiu
2024-09-18 12:05:36 +0000 UTC
What a fantastic week's lineup! My fall movies tend to be Halloween movies. Hocus Pocus, The Haunted Mansion, that kind of thing.

She won't watch Children of the Corn, Joel. She has a mild panic attack every time she sees a corn field in a movie and always mentions that one by way of explanation.

Mostly, but the morlocks push it over.

Zach McGrath

My autumn must watch list each year is feel-good cozy films: Dan In Real Life, Mystic Pizza, You've Got Mail, Over The Garden Wall, Juno, Penelope, The Village, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Edward Scissorhands, Wolfwalkers, Mona Lisa Smile, and Practical Magic.

And the author of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" who told people not to read the book but rather to go watch the movie because it was a lot better.
Galaeanyss Freyja
2024-09-18 04:34:24 +0000 UTC
I agree, the novel for “The Host” was also much better than the movie adaptations. As is almost always the case, save for LOTR.
Cole Jennett
2024-09-18 04:28:04 +0000 UTC
~I~ wanted to sleep for six months after watching "Glitter".
Didn't care for "Twilight". I liked "The Host" better. The book, anyway. The movie cut most of the interesting parts.

2024-09-18 04:21:10 +0000 UTC
In the last extra butter chat, Cassie saw me suggest Fright Night and wrote it down, so maybe...

Love the music for the spinning scene. Epic.
Chris Thom
2024-09-18 04:08:37 +0000 UTC
Oh interesting. I think I rented the director's cut and then a week later the original came on HBO. Was coming off a pretty bad long weekend bender and that Tangerine Dream soundtrack and song hit me so hard and got me freakishly emotional. Just what I needed. Now my forever comfort movie.
Chris Thom
2024-09-18 04:07:39 +0000 UTC
Demi Moore has really been making the rounds on press tours lately and she's talked a ton about St. Elmo's Fire. That was her very first movie. She still looks amazing. Even better than when she was young.
Chris Thom
2024-09-18 03:57:37 +0000 UTC
If you treat them like a high budget soap opera they're not too bad. Low expectations help a lot.

Keith Jones
2024-09-18 03:43:52 +0000 UTC
OK, the prime version is the Directors Cut. Ignore the runtime on the preview screen, it shows theatrical runtime. But actually watching it is the longer DC runtime.
Brian's Dog
2024-09-18 03:10:06 +0000 UTC
I actually loved the first Twilight movie, and especially the books.
Cole Jennett
2024-09-18 02:50:21 +0000 UTC
Yes, yes, and YES!! A perfect movie for Scary But Not Too Scary October. A nice blend of spooky, jump scares, laughs, and practical effects. I’ve recommended it a couple of times.
Dan M
2024-09-18 02:49:22 +0000 UTC
Dead Poet’s Society! An excellent fall film.
Dan M
2024-09-18 02:42:01 +0000 UTC
Such a good movie…but it will have Cassie watching half of it from behind her blanket.
Dan M
2024-09-18 02:40:27 +0000 UTC
The thumbnail for the movie doesn’t have “with Carly” on it, so I’m assuming it will be just Cassie.
Dan M
2024-09-18 02:36:39 +0000 UTC
“I watched the entire Twilight saga straight in a single setting.” Did you have to pry your eyes open like they did to Alex in A Clockwork Orange?
Dan M
2024-09-18 02:34:37 +0000 UTC
Oh yeah, I’ve seen it. About a dozen times now 😁. It’s one of my favorite reactions to one of my favorite movies.
Dan M
2024-09-18 02:29:47 +0000 UTC
Yeah actually it was pretty well done. I think I always associate it with the problems during production where it took two years after filming for the studio to release it. But that really has no bearing on the quality of it. The bratty girl with the wings does drive me up the wall a bit.
Chris Thom
2024-09-18 02:28:56 +0000 UTC
The director's cut does have a few extra scenes that I like but overall I prefer the U.S. theatrical version. Thats the version that has the Tangerine Dream soundtrack and the song Loved by the Sun. In the director's cut the soundtrack is done by Jerry Goldsmith.
My_Cousin_Mose
2024-09-18 02:27:30 +0000 UTC
For movies that are Fall adjacent, I thought of the leaves on the trees in Rivendell in the Fellowship of the Ring. Then I guess I would think of the pumpkins in the first few Harry Potter movies, and Leatherheads (another sports movie you should watch).

When you watch Hot Fuzz, just try to keep in mind that it is meant to be over the top, as it is meant to make fun of action cop movies.

I don't have a favorite Fall Movie. I do have a Halloween Tradition of watching Scary Movies. Not movies that are intentionally scary, but rather movies whose very notion of having to watch it scares me. "Glitter" "Crossroads" I once watched the entire "Twilight" Saga straight in a single sitting. I dreaded having to do that all month. I am not a Girly Girl.

Brian, if the director’s cut is the one with the restored World War 2 scene than that is the version currently streaming on Amazon Prime. Most times that is the version used, but that is not certain.

Cassie is definitely familiar with "Friday Night Lights"... it was her reference for Connie Britton when she watched "This is where I leave you"... "the mom from Friday night lights" and I am sure she has also used Kyle Chandler's character's catchphrase in sports movie reactions... I know of it, but don't know it as I have never watched it myself.

It's winter turning into spring here, so October has different vibes... but despite that I don't think I rewatch movies based on the season... I usually just go to old faithful comedies or action or the best of both worlds, action/comedies.

Is her copy of Highlander Theatrical or Director's? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the streaming and physical releases in the US are both Director's. I just wanted to get prepped. Thanks!

Julia Roberts is a fall kind of actress somehow. I think it's because her hair looks like the seasons changing.
Chris Thom

The Fellowship must have set out in Sept/Oct because when Frodo wakes up in Rivendell its Oct 24th, so yeah these are fall movies!

@Mike - Why I didn’t include Bride of Frankenstein (1935)?
I want Cassie to see all of the early Universal Monster Movies, definitely I do. But at the rate that she watches Horror Films, let alone how often she watches Classic films, I didn’t want to include something that she would see and then say, “ooh, well I got to include that.” Then it goes to a Classic Poll and very likely wins. Then we wait until next year, and she watches the next Frankenstein movie, maybe.
Also, IMO, the Universal Horror films are not indicative of some of the best films from this time period. They’re absolutely some of the best in their genre, but this is not Cassie’s favorite genre. I’d prefer Cassie see some other films from this period that are more likely going to make her WANT to do more Classic film polls.
So I went with an Oscar winning film, a Spooky Old House film with a bit of Everything, a Technicolor film from 1933, a unique vampire film (not Dracula), and a Sherlock Holmes movie featuring maybe the best actor to play Sherlock… Basil Rathbone. Hound of the Baskervilles totally works for the season too. In the same realm as Sleepy Hollow.
Another reason is I didn’t want to list a hundred movies either… which I almost did ;-)
And some of those early films I’d prefer Cassie see sooner rather than later…
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
Animal Crackers (1930)
City Lights (1931)
The Public Enemy (1931)
Platinum Blonde (1931)
Monkey Business (1931)
Red Dust (1932)
I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932)
Trouble in Paradise (1932)
Horse Feathers (1932)
Duck Soup (1933)
Baby Face (1933)
Bombshell (1933)
Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933)
Design for Living (1933)
The Thin Man (1934)
Cleopatra (1934)
The Count of Monte Cristo (1934)
Twentieth Century (1934)
The 39 Steps (1935)
Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)
Captain Blood (1935)
Top Hat (1935)
A Night at the Opera (1935)
A Tale of Two Cities (1935)
Broadway Melody of 1936 (1935)
Geeez… I’m just realizing there are a ton of films, just in 1935, that I would Love for Cassie to see before, Bride of Frankenstein (1935).
I know it’s October and Halloween, but I hope She gets to see the Non-Horror side of the early 30s sometime. It Happened One Night (1934) was a Great Reaction, but there’s still a lot more to offer… when She’s ready.
Larry Darrell
2024-09-18 00:09:35 +0000 UTC
Yeah, "Hand that rocks the cradle " and "Sleeping with the enemy" would both qualify for PIB October movies in my opinion, my option which is somewhat adjacent to both is "Dead Calm".

Katie, other than X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Lone Survivor, I don’t think she has seen anything else with him in it. But I can think one one that I hope she does watch eventually…Battleship.
Dan M
2024-09-17 23:23:11 +0000 UTC
That’s what I meant. You can kill 2 birds with one stone. It qualifies as a fall movie and a horror movie.

2024-09-17 23:19:06 +0000 UTC
Usually I'll watch The Cowboys 1972. Having John Wayne say the line "Summer's Over" always put me in that pre fall like mood. I hope Dracula 1931 will be on the list for halloween. Another great one I think you would enjoy is the halloween comedy Ernest Scared Stupid 1991. It was my hocus pocus film, that I grew up with, and still watch it every year. Thank you again, and glad all is well Cassie.
Brian Wood
2024-09-17 23:17:46 +0000 UTC
@Richard - I love movies and I’ve seen probably WAY more than most people my age, but there are still some areas that I haven’t gotten to. I am ashamed to say that I have not seen, Horror of Dracula (1958).
I have seen, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922), Dracula (1931) and most of its sequels, and I have seen a few of the Hammer Films’ Dracula movies with Christopher Lee (Risen From the Grave/Taste the Blood/A.D. 1972). Of course I have seen Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), and a bunch of other various Vampire films.
The honest truth is I’ve never been the biggest fan of Vampire films or Dracula. I like them, but when making a list, they usually don’t rank very high, which is why it has taken me so long to get to some of these. I like Vampire films with a unique twist more than variations on the Dracula tale.
I’ve spent the past couple Octobers working my way through the Universal’s Classic Monsters 30 Film Box Set. I’ve always wanted to work my way through the Hammer Films Horror Catalog. I just may start that this year. :-)
I’m thinking of starting with, The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)… which I have seen before.
—
I was pretty sure I remembered The Omen (1976) was on the No No List, but I figured it’s still worth mentioning, just so it’s not forgotten. You Never No.
—
Mike and I are Dead Set on getting Cassie to watch Arsenic and Old Lace (1944). It’s a Perfect Film for getting Cassie more excited about Classic Films and it’s a Perfect Film for Halloween. The Opening Prologue Screen Text even reads…
“This is a Halloween tale of Brooklyn, where anything can happen— and it usually does.”
It’s also one of the funniest films ever made too.
—
When I added The Mist into the Stephen King list, it helped make the list be an even 10 films. I thought about adding Doctor Sleep (2019), but it’s kinda like the other pea from the pod, if you know what I mean. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in the Reaction, but hopefully if it winds up in a Poll again, there will be great competition.

That's a good characterization. I have nostalgia for Highlander (1986). Below is a quote I save for certain movies.

One that I remember thinking was pretty scary growing up was Children of the Corn

All Terrific! I found Indian Summer (1993) later in life, a few years ago actually, and couldn’t believe I never watched it. I’ve always loved Summer Camp movies and the older I get the more nostalgic I’ve become. This film hit right at home. I’ve always liked Matt Craven as an actor too, so it was cool to see him return to summer camp, after appearing in Meatballs (1979).
+1s on All, but especially One Fine Day (1996)!

2024-09-17 21:32:47 +0000 UTC
Hi Cassie, great line up. Can’t wait for Hot Fuzz. As you have watched Shaun of the dead, you might as well do the whole Cornetto trilogy and watch “The worlds End” although as I’ve said before, I think out of all the Simon Peggy/nick frost comedies you would enjoy “Paul” the most.
More trek as well!
Dead poet’s society I think is a Autumnal movie. But you may have seen that one?
I also need to do another shout out for “Duel” with October round the corner. It’s well suited to scary but not to scary!
Mark White

Chris Thom
2024-09-17 21:02:04 +0000 UTC
The problem with Interstellar is that Cassie has sort of almost watched it before. She admitted during one of her live vids that she started to watch it once and fell asleep. She did say she was tired and maybe distracted at the time, but whatever the reason, it left a less-than-stellar impression on her. I think you'll have to campaign pretty hard to get her to try again.
Clarence Newman

Hot Fuzz? Hot Damn!
Steve Mercier
2024-09-17 20:58:18 +0000 UTC
You know, I'm not worried about that. Cassie has proved throughout the episodes (at least a couple of which were borderline mediocre) that she just loves hanging out with the crew. She'll enjoy Nemesis even if it is the Cooper Manning of Star Trek movies.
Clarence Newman
2024-09-17 20:56:54 +0000 UTC
Without getting into spoilers, I wasn't even considering the creatures. I'm talking about THAT part of the film, if you know what I mean. I was surprised it even made a poll last year, considering THAT scene breaks one of Cassie's film taboos, imo.

ELECTION (1999) is a very autumnal movie starring Reese Witherspoon. 7.2 on IMDB
Thin White Duke
2024-09-17 20:51:35 +0000 UTC
Yeah, with me it has a lot to do with how close to real life jeopardy a scary movie is. The protagonists in "The Mist" are forms of fantastical creatures, so it probably wouldn't hit home too hard. "It Follows" is a film about something that could happen in real-life. Not the supernatural part of it, but the scary-ass stalker part. I think that would wreck Cassie far more than the creatures of "The Mist".
Clarence Newman
2024-09-17 20:46:27 +0000 UTC

@Clarence Newman - Wait, are you saying It Follows might be too much for her, but you're recommending The Mist? Even I have trouble recommending The Mist for Cassie (as much as I love it myself). That movie would crush her.

The Salem's Lot mini-series with David Soul could also be called a Nosferatu story. The vampire was certainly based on him.

I actively avoid theatrical LotR reactions, you have to be a really good reactor to get me to watch one. Extended LotR is the only LotR, imo. I've "slogged" through the extendeds over 30 times.

Falling Down is an excellent but misunderstood film that has been the rue of many a reaction channel. I recall that Mary had to remove her reaction from YouTube due to the amount of negative feedback and even personal attacks from her reaction.
ArsTropica
2024-09-17 20:16:18 +0000 UTC
My tuppence worth on a few of those:
Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde (specifically the 1931 version) - There are very few characters I've ever seen that are more disturbing than Mr Hyde in that movie.
The Hitcher (1986) - An absolutely perfect film for Scary but not too Scary. She will be scared but also be able to sleep afterwards.
It Follows (2014) - She would never sleep again.
Creepshow (1982) - A great horror montage, and you also (strangely) have a fun time watching it.
The Mist (2007) - Another perfect film for Scary but not too.
A couple of extras would be Nosferatu (1922), and Meander (2020), which is an absorbing French horror/thriller.
Clarence Newman
2024-09-17 20:14:59 +0000 UTC
I’ve loved Rob & Trin’s journey through the MCU and Firefly. The two most common entry points for me and reaction channels. As far as LOTR, we will forever disagree because it still irks me that one of the reactions wasn’t to the theatrical so I don’t have to sit through the slog of the extended’s every time.

You should watch the early Peter Jackson movie Meet the Feebles. Not the Muppets doing the Exorcist, more like Muppets that belong on the Jerry Springer Show. Warning if you do watch it though, it's pretty dark.

Scent of a Woman is a great film. It's also one of Cassie's best reactions, therefore a double whammy.

I think other than the ones you named, my favorite Fall Adjascent Movie™ is HANNAH AND HER SISTERS. I know some people are not fans of Woody Allen personally, but this is a brilliant movie that takes place over successive Thanksgiving gatherings at Hannah's home. The cast is also phenomenal with prime Michael Caine, Max Von Sydow, Barbara Hershey, a decidedly non-Princess Leia Carrie Fisher, the incredible Diane Wiest and "Old Hollywood" star Maureen O'Sullivan. Daniel Sten shows up for about 5 minutes and absolutely owns a scene, and Mr. Allen provides shots much-needed albeit angsty comic relief. Oh, and mid-1980s New York City should've received a "best supporting actor" nomination. The most amazing thing is the movie was shot on the budget more aligned with indie films but the construction, cinematography and score are collectively amazing. And Cassie, you will LOVE the ending.

Since the cameo isn't meant to be a surprise, I'll say that by "relevant," I meant a TNG recurring character.

Cozy movie? “Private Eyes” (1980), starring comedy legends Don Knotts and Tim Conway as two inspectors from Scotland Yard assigned to solve the murders of Lord and Lady Morley. It would be perfect for a Carly watch along during Scary But Not Too Scary. Think “Clue” with the silliness of “Young Frankenstein.”

Well, both Gojira (Godzilla) and King Kong are doing pretty well on YT, currently at 72k and 65K, respectively. Which for B&W films is well above average. Genre, as far as older films are considered, might be the most important thing.

I’m psyched to not just see you wrap up Star Trek: TNG with the varied Season 7 episodes and series finale; but I’m also excited to see your reaction to Highlander. This was a film that really came in under the radar and achieved cult status with its storytelling, its sword fighting, and the iconic music from Freddie Mercury and Queen.

It's hard to discuss the Blair Witch Project without giving away THE reason it's so highly regarded by those who love it. If Cassie watches it without THE reason being spoiled, it will be great.

Larry, thank you for reminding me that Arsenic and Old Lace is a Halloween movie, and that is the movie I should be pushing for this time of year! How could I forget?? 😂😂
As for 1930's horror films, why to leave off The Bride of Frankenstein? A sequel to a film she's already seen should be a sure thing!
You have a very interesting and extensive list, mostly to movies I've never seen! 😂 But still a great list! But from some of the ones I have seen Carrie (the original) is a great film, It Follows is a great modern horror film, and I've seen both Happy Death Day films and both are great!!
Mike LL
2024-09-17 19:22:40 +0000 UTC
It's great that even though they live in the frozen north you still get to see your parents so often. I don't really watch anything based on the season or holidays. I just watch movies when I feel like it. I thought about what to recommend anyway but "cozy" isn't really my genre. I'll recommend Legend (1985 with Tom Cruise). It's a light and classic fairytale and one of his first starring roles. You drew it from a pillowcase a couple years ago but it was only a maybe not an official popcorn promise.

I'd like another LotR rewatch with just about anyone because despite the fact that multiple new LotR reactions come out every week on YT, I rarely see one I can get all the way through, let alone watch a full reaction to on patreon. The only one I've seen in the last year (outside this channel) that was worth paying for was on a channel called Rob & Trin React!, a criminally under-rated channel I'm blatantly plugging because they deserve it.

Quite the lineup you got going on! Can't wait for HOT FUZZ, that's a good one, most especially I can't wait for HIGHLANDER that is a classic "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE" so iconic lol, and no Cassie it has no relation to OUTLANDER lol! Sorry, but I won't be attending the trivia game night, seems like I can never catch a break joining in on that lol, I don't think I'll be able to make it for the LIVE either, I'll be at work all day, but I might drop by during a break or whatnot! I'm glad Summer is finally coming to an end, I used to like Summer a lot but that was when I was back in school, nowadays I hate it because of the heat! Because of my minor asthma I can't breathe well in heat, which is why I love the cold of Winter, I breathe a whole lot better! I can't really say what movies I like to watch most in Fall/Winter, other than when ever Halloween rolls around, I watch at least one Horror movie per day (the ones that I like that don't scare me lol) starting with the 8 classic Universal Monster movies (one per day) that being DRACULA (1931) then I end it on Halloween by watching SLEEPY HOLLOW, my all time favorite horror movie ever! I'm more into Gothic horror (i.e. Vampires, Werewolves, the Frankenstein Monster, etc.) rather than Supernatural or Slasher horror! And of course I'm a Giant Movie Monster fan (i.e. GODZILLA) lol! Speaking of which I so hope for this Halloween season, you and Carly will finally react to one of my favorites, VAN HELSING, I think you two will enjoy it and it's the perfect "Scary, but not to scary" movie for you two to watch, it's directed by the same guy who did THE MUMMY & THE MUMMY RETURNS, infact the movie does give off some mummy vibes when watching it lol, and of course it stars Hugh Jackman, plus you and Carly have the matching shirts I got you for the occasion lol! Loved your DEADPOOL 2 reaction, so hilarious! Love and support, have a good Tuesday, can't wait for Halloween season! I turn 36 this coming Sunday lol! God bless y'all and the family, you and Carly are the best 🥰😇🙏🤗😁😉👍✌🌹

Chris Thom, I don't agree with that at all. It's not kitschy, it's merely stylish and perfect in terms of fitting in with the ostentatiousness of Halloween. And in no way is the movie bad. I would argue that it's the best Halloween anthology film ever made, unless some other great Halloween anthology film is slipping my mind.

I would love to see a reaction to the Omen. It's a legitimately scary psychological horror flick in its own right, but I think Cassie draws the line at any type of demonic elements in her reactions.
Also, the Stand would be a great mini-series pick, as would Needful Things and Storm of the Century.

Favorite fall movie, besides horror ones, namely ‘Halloween’? I’d definitely say ‘Meet The Parents’! It just screams fall break (idk if you have that in the states). ‘Knives Out’ is another one, the aesthetic is beautiful.
Hoping for a great October schedule. 2021 was a great start, 22 was a dud, let’s be honest, last year was a good comeback. Let’s keep pushing the envelope even if it’s just a little.

Rare Exports is great. But considering how no one can even get Cassie to watch Krampus around Christmas I'm not holding my breath for Rare Exports. Another good horror (sorta) movie for Christmas is Violent Night. Maybe we could get Cassie to watch that one if we word it right..... "It's a lot like Die-Hard, but with more Santa".

Richard Maurer
2024-09-17 17:38:43 +0000 UTC
Nah. that's where they bottomed out. The studio pushed the sequels to the point where they weren't making money anymore, so they decided to make a joke out of them. The classic monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, etc.) didn't recover till Hammer films brought them back in the late 50's

2024-09-17 17:36:07 +0000 UTC
Yeah, after I wrote my follow up post I searched for holiday themed horror flicks and was surprised at how many good holiday themed horror films I had missed. Including (but definitely not limited to):
*My Bloody Valentine (particularly embarrassing since I recommended it in my original post)
*Trick ‘r Treat
*April Fool’s Day (I know it’s got its detractors but I like it)
*Terror Train (New Year’s)
*Silver Bullet (July 4th)
*Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
All of the above are in my personal collection of dvds/blu rays. How I forgot them, I can’t imagine. And there are many others, but they are less mainstream and more grindhouse-y, which I know doesn’t appeal to most.

Scott Macaulay
2024-09-17 17:21:44 +0000 UTC
Re: Mixing holidays with horror. I’ve seen it work and I’ve seen it flop horribly. The best examples of it working were “Black Christmas” and “Halloween.” I had high hopes for Eli Roth’s “Thanksgiving”, because I loved the faux trailer included in “Grindhouse.” But then they made it and it was a watered down mess, almost certainly to make it marketable to a broader audience. It would’ve been better served to work on a much smaller budget and target the hardcore grindhouse/horror market IMO.
Just Plain Bob

2024-09-17 17:19:27 +0000 UTC
I’m No Horror Film Connoisseur, but I know when I’ve been scared or creeped out by a film, and still had fun with the experience. And maybe there are some films here that I JUST had fun with, and that had a Scary and Creepy setting, which I believe still works for Halloween.
IMO, October doesn’t have to be completely “Dark Trembling Fear and Disgust” all the time. We can take a break from that, at least 2 or 3 times, right?
Either way here is a Big List. Did Not Include The Fly (1986) or Saw (2004), because I’m sure everyone else is not going to let Cassie forget them. They will certainly make for Awesome Reactions. ;-)

Matinee (1993), directed by Joe Dante, also director of…
Piranha (1978)
The Howling (1981)
Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)
Gremlins (1984)
The ‘Burbs (1989)
Small Soldiers (1998)
I also recommend Matinee. Great Halloween themed movie.

Just a suggestion: maybe instead of squeezing in a Star Trek movie reaction, you could watch the special Family Guy reunion episode of the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Just a suggestion, it's your channel!

Vague memories of Matinee. Think that was definitely the strangest movie I'd ever seen at eight. Wasn't that from the director of Poltergeist?

Wow I haven't seen any of these movies. But I see a kilt and a sword with lightning so that's cool. I think my quintessential fall movie is Scent of a Woman for some reason. I think that's always kind of been my fantasy of NYC in November. Also Upcomingatcha is a rad title for a post. Sounds like something I've literally texted someone and they were like 'tha f-- you trying to say to me?' Lol. But I know. And now I know you know. So ready for Super Ultra Scary Halloween and Vaguely Traumatic Experience October!

2024-09-17 16:31:04 +0000 UTC
Hey Cassie! Happy Last Official Week of Summer 2024! I had a really nice weekend decorating our porch and front yard for Autumn, even though I swore to myself that I wouldn’t decorate until Summer was officially over. But our local nursery was having an excellent sale on mums (10” hanging baskets, multi-colored, for $15 each!) and I couldn’t pass it up. So here we are.
This week’s line up is 50/50 for me. Hot Fuzz will be a lot of fun with plenty of “Oh my goshes” to go around. I’ve never seen Highlander, the trailer and other parts I’ve seen never really appealed to me. But I’ll give it a shot once you’ve reacted to it. I may be pleasantly surprised.
Can’t wait for the Halloween poll and Scary But Not Too Scary October! Trivia Night should be a blast…unless I tank big time 🤷♂️. And my favorite fall movie, hands down, is October Sky ( although I watch it at least a half dozen times throughout the year. I was also a huge fan of the tv show Dawson’s Creek, with James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, and Michelle Williams. The new seasons always started in the fall, when school had just started, and it has always remained a fall nostalgic thing for me because it was such a relatable storyline for me.
I’ve got my 1 year anniversary coming up as a PIB Patreon member, and I’m so looking forward to my 2nd year with you. Thank you for being you 🙏

I definitely would like it to cool down a little. We've been in the mid 80's in Michigan for a lot of the week. To warm for my fall vibes😆 I just finished Friday Night Lights (Series) for the first time and I definitely recommend it if you love football or sports movies. It also gives me that fall feel. A great TV Series. I always love to watch Practical Magic(Glad you enjoyed that one so much) so I'll probably just watch the full reaction with you and Carly again. I finally got around and watched Wednesday on Netflix and rewatching The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina for my fall fix. Watching Fire Country too(Which Is Really Good). I definitely would love a Star Trek Movie if you can fit it in the schedule. Can't wait for SPOOKY SEASON🍁🍩🍬🎃🪓

I have a theory about the passage of time
From age 0-9, time passes at half speed
From 10 – 19, time passes at normal speed
From 20 – 29, time passes at two times the speed
From 30 – 39, time passes at three times the speed
From 40 – 49, time passes at four times the speed
And so on and so on, or at least it seems that way. What do you all think?

For some reason I think Dumb and Dumber is a good fall movie and what about Bob is good anytime (a great pib reaction.) Good fall romance movies to me are Sense and sensibility, Remains of the day, wuthering heights, and Gone with the Wind to name a few.

Richard Maurer
2024-09-17 16:12:20 +0000 UTC
So, I see some fall recommendations here, so I'm going to lean more into spooky season recommendations. My top pick that meets both criteria is the 2007 film "Trick 'r Treat." Cassie should find this a fun one, especially considering all the X-Men cast and production team crossover.
My second pick is the new 2024 film "Abigail" - just a super fun comic horror genre movie with lots of great comic elements, and an amazing performance by the girl in the title role.
In terms of a non-horror but a very fun murder mystery/detective genre autumn-timed film, I recommend "Knives Out." Great cast in this one, including Daniel Craig in a very cool role.
My last pick is a cool horror comedy called "Totally Killer" - a very fun classic slasher homage film with a modern sensibility. I've been a huge Kiernan Shipka fan ever since she rocked a lead role in my favorite film of 2017, "The Blackcoat's Daughter" (which I'd LOVE Cassie to react to on the channel), and she's very good as the lead in this film.
Autumn and Halloween season are my favorite times of the year, so I'm really looking forward to Cassie's spooky season watches this year.
Daniel Allen
2024-09-17 16:11:26 +0000 UTC
Highlander - "there can be only one" which is ironic because you definitely want to avoid the sequels. Also can we please get "The Fog" (original) on the Halloween poll. Ideal candidate for "not too scary"

Highlander holds a special place in my heart. I watched it with a friend last summer, and she got so caught up in it that she started calling me "My Highlander" for the next few days. I mean, I didn’t mind. Who wouldn’t want to be called a Highlander? Thought it was really sweet coming from a friend lol
The soundtrack’s a killer too, maybe even more iconic than the film itself. Gimme the Prize ( Kurgan's Theme ) being a personal favourite but it's so difficult to pick a single one. Hopefully you don't have too much trouble with the Youtube reaction.

When I was asking for a classic horror poll I originally thought of asking for different polls for each decade from the 30's through the 60's but I quickly abandoned that Idea because I realized just getting a classic horror poll at all was going to be an uphill battle. I switched to giving a list of horror films from each decade that I considered to be worthy of being on the poll. Just something to consider.

Honestly, I’m glad fall has arrived because this summer was far too hot for my liking. Aside from a few cooler weeks, temperatures were consistently between 35-42°C (95-108°F for those quirky Americans not using SI standards) for almost all summer since May. We kept breaking records and had more heatwave warnings than I can remember and the longest one in recorded history. This went on until the first weekend of September, with schools even closing early and running half days because classrooms were around 35-38°C (95-100°F). Then, within a few days, temperatures dropped to 5-10°C (40-50°F), and we had 2-3 times the usual amount of rain for September in a couple of days and now expecting one of the biggest floods in 2 decades. Feels like weather is just getting crazier every year.
I don't usually have any specific thing I'm used to watching during the fall. It was usually the time to pick up on new seasons and new shows for me before the streaming era. But this year I'm starting to feel in the mood to rewatch PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, the BBC miniseries version, which for some reason I'm mainly associating with fall.
Looking forward to HOT FUZZ. Bring on the noise! I have a hunch about it but let's see how the reaction turns out. 😄

Ok, did you or did you not say that one of this month's films is going to be Four Weddings and a Funeral? I know there's a couple of weeks left in the month, but I'm on holiday for two weeks from Saturday so I'm getting my reminder in early. You need some light comedy fun after the emotional wedgies you've received recently.
As for my fave cozy/fall adjacent movies, here's a few:
"The Towering Inferno" (always warms me up on a cold night)
"An Officer and a Gentleman" (because this is the fourth fall since you started the channel and you and Carly still haven't seen it)
"Cliffhanger" (snow, Stallone and stupendous stuntwork)
"The Full Monty" (nothing better for a cool autumn evening than six out-of-work, out-of-shape Sheffield steel workers out-performing the Chippendales)
"Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (Autumn-bleak but in the effortlessly fun way Guy Ritchie has with his movies. This was the forerunner of "Snatch" and probably a better movie.

Well, other people have asked for decades polls, not just us asking for Classic Era decades polls. Other people have asked for 70's, 80's, and 90's polls (well maybe not that many for 90's polls). But I don't think anyone has mentioned genres, but I wouldn't be opposed to a 1930's Comedy poll, or a 1940's Drama or Film Noir poll. Anything to get more older movies seen. My gosh, she hasn't seen CITIZEN KANE or GONE WITH THE WIND yet, much less LAWRENCE OF ARABIA or other film classics! One of my dreams is for Cassie to see a few Astaire/Rogers films. At least THE TOWERING INFERNO would get Astaire on the channel. She's never seen a John Wayne western (THE SEARCHERS, anyone?) or a Cary Grant comedy. It's an ongoing crime!!!!

This week-end was a reunion for former employees of the summer family camp where I worked during school. And, it was so nice, current staff surprised us with videos of our goofy old campfire skits!
This was me in school as the emcee for “Chubby Bunny” (This was before Chubby Bunny was banned in most civilized nations).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mITvOefC4zA
Yes, I know. My oversized board shorts should also be banned.
Thanks Cassie, Popcorn In Bed is like a great family camp. Very welcoming, a great place to connect with people, and a wide variety of fun things to enjoy. 😊
For cozy fall films please try Mystic Pizza (1988) 🍕🍂

Fall movies shows... Let's see well I always kick off the season with Beetlejuice, which I did earlier this month seeing the sequel. Fortune or fate whichever one gave September a Friday the 13th so that film is done. So now, the real nitty gritty of fall aka pre-spooky season:
When Harry Met Sally
Autumn in New York
Stepmom
The Age of Adaline
Knives Out
October Sky
Twilight saga
And then we do some lighthearted spookies before October actually hits
Coco
The Book of Life
Practical Magic
Death Becomes Her
Coraline
As far as shows go, Gilmore Girls is definitely a perfect pick, currently going through Last of Us again, and the new season of Daryl Dixon comes out in a week or so so that'll be my Walking Dead fix

I don't really have fall shows that I watch every year, but there are some Christmas movies I watch every year, and now I have your reactions to most of them. So no recomends on the Fall show front. Still waiting for the occasional Classic Era movie you might watch. Still waiting for the decades polls. Please have a dedicated 30's and 40's polls one day! One fine Popcorn filled day!

Halloween poll coming up? Can't wait. Hope it has some good, REAL horror films I can vote for.

So happy Fall is here, favorite season, it was 110 degrees last week where I live and it's gonna be 78 today, love it, and a lot to look forward to this week, Hot Fuzz, Highlander, AND TNG, as much as work has been sucking as of late, at least there's Popcorn to look forward to.

Yay Halloween poll! I’ve been watching a lot of horror over the summer A24 and Neon have been smashing it! Is 2024 the year we stretch the boundaries a little?
Also Hot Fuzz and Highlander, what a week of content! Definitely glad to see the end of the weekly Star Trek content.

Fall for me is all about NFL and the upcoming NHL season. Dan in Real Life is probably my go to fall movie.
