Merry Christmas and upcoming


Hey friends!! I hope you all had a wonderful and merry Christmas and all got your version of Turboman! We had to look pretty hard for the silver linings here with my twin newborn

nephews staying with us landing in the ER Christmas Eve and Ben and my youngest being SO sick. It broke my heart because she is at such a magical Christmas age, has been counting down the minutes since November then could barely stand Christmas Day. Second year in a row with a flu-ridden Christmas. The good news was there was still excited gift screams, delicious food and board games that took 3 days. My boys and I were able to put together the gift cards for the Children’s Hospital families, with the money we raised from our last LIVE. We delivered them and although we weren’t able to meet the families, I was reminded that even though I have sick kids now, I have the blessing of knowing they will get better where some families there might not be leaving for a very long time and may be leaving without theirs. That sure put things into perspective!



As for movies coming up this week, back to regular programming and catching up with our poll winners and continuing space exploration! I’m also going to post a video with a top 50 drawing and poll as soon as I look not so haggard to be in front of a camera!

Before looking forward to the new year, I think it’s always good to look back! Another year of being able to do popcorn in bed with all of you has been the biggest blessing to me and my family! Thank you thank you so much for all of your support and comments, and the sense of fun and community you bring to the channel. I am looking forward to getting to know more of you this year, to discover new worlds and series, to fall in love with more characters on screen, and to find connections through the stories movies tell with you!

Love you all, this will be our best year yet!!

ps who’s already taken down Christmas?

That is a very nice thing to do Cassie. My daughter had leukemia when she was five, and we spent Christmas in the children's hospital. It was very touching to receive gifts from strangers when we got up on Christmas morning. I think everyone understands it's a really nice thing to do, but I can tell you personally it's quite a blessing to have some semblance of a normal holiday when you are going through a trying time.

David Thibodeau

Hang in there Cassie and family. My son ( Ben ) and his wife AND my two granddaughters (Penny and Piper..ages almost 5 and 2.5) are all sick with RSV so I have not been to see them for Christmas. Half the old farts at the Senior Center where I teach are sick so I have to consider myself very lucky. Take care of yourself and your family. You have no idea how much we all look forward to your reactions.

Anthony Perez

The sequel is kind of forgettable.......To the point where I actually forgot it existed.

Richard Maurer

I still have lots of films that I recommend you watch, but in the meantime, I want to thank you for continuing to offer these reactions. And mostly, I wanted to say how much I admire you for all you do -- work, husband, kids, out of town guests, holidays, every expanding flu virus, etc. You're a champ!! Happy New Year!

Peggy Zehr

Without giving too much away when you watch Ransom have a box of tissues. Also, remember to take deep breaths. It’s a roller coaster ride.

Doc Larry

Merry Christmas Cassie, sorry to hear your little one was so sick. Hoping you are all feeling better.

My_Cousin_Mose

Doesn't look like Carly will also be reacting to Ransom. Too bad, that would have been a good one for the Dynamic Duo.

Brent Petty

that was a heartwarming post. the next year will be better for all of us i hope.

Julian

Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon is a love story so you and Carly should really enjoy it. It’s a beautiful made movie with Hong Kong style martial arts effects.

Anthony V Petty

So excited for you to watch Ransom!

Dan

Thanks Steve!

BRT

just watched WoKH....awesome reaction AND crouching tiger is literally one of my favorite films of all time, so I am REALLY looking forward to that one!!

David Bennett

Sending healing prayers your way. I believe karma will be giving your family an absolutely amazing Christmas next year! I dunno why but when I think of you decorating your house for santa season I picture a lady version of Clark Griswold 🙃

Ronny Boss

It would!

Grad

Looking forward to Star Trek II!

RJ MacReady

And 'The Bounty'.

Celeste McAllister

btw, I love "Crouching Tiger" & it's musical score. And there is a sequel, I gotta remember the name, but you can find out.

Steve H

And here is a charming dance with a young Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore from over 60 (!) years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40iFgn1g_No&t=820s

Happy Hanukkah

I am glad you enjoyed Dick Van Dyke. And thanks for sharing about George and Walter.

John Liebling

I think it would be a fun poll if the PIB Patreon community created a list of the top 15 original Twilight Zone episodes and Cassie and Carly would watch the top 5 polled episodes.

John Liebling

As you promised, it brought a smile to my face. My mind wandered from this to George Burns, mutatis mutandis, and I'll take the opportunity to recommend The Sunshine Boys (1975). Some information, stolen from Wikipedia and IMDb: The Sunshine Boys is comedy film written by Neil Simon, about two legendary (and cranky) vaudeville comics brought together for a reunion and revival of their famous act, despite the fact they can't stand each other. It stars real-life vaudevillian actor George Burns and Walter Matthau. Burns had not been in a film since 1939 and had triple bypass surgery six weeks before filming started. He won an Oscar for his performance, which revived his career and redefined his popular image as a remarkably active, older comedy star. (Walter Matthau was nominated for best actor, and Neil Simon for his adapted screenplay.)

Happy Hanukkah

I would like to suggest a cute, funny, entertaining way to bring an immediate smile to an person's face. On youtube the band called The Dust Bowl Revival playing "Never Had To Go" for 89 years-young Dick Van Dyke and his wife, and also a 96-year-old Dick and his wife singing and dancing to "Everybody Loves A Lover" Dick turned 98 two weeks from yesterday. I guarantee it would be impossible to walk around depressed after watching an older Dick Van Dyke move about. He's an inspiration to so many. He's living so long because he has such a positive outlook on life.

John Liebling

You're a good person, Cassie. Your daughter will have plenty of future happy healthy Christmas experiences. Doing good deeds, just for the sake of doing good deeds, we need more people like you in this chaotic world. Hoping all your sick relatives are healthy sooner than later.

John Liebling

That was a very touching post. I hope everyone is much better. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas. We enjoy having you in our little worlds as well. A very Merry Christmas and New year to the Popcorn community. Also, My stuff is still up, but probably coming down (sadly) this Saturday.

James Sweeney

It is my hope and prayer that everyone gets well and has a very happy new year. I did my residency in Buffalo, so I was in Canada quite often. I definitely understand your love of both countries. I can honestly say that your channel is a great prescription for feeling better. The varieties of movies that you watch make your channel always interesting. As I said many times before it is a channel for all ages from this old geezer, have a blessed and prosperous new year.

Doc Larry

Turns out everyone has covid😷🤧🤒☹️

Katie Jackson

Praying for your nephews’ and daughter’s healing. Happy New Year to you.

Eric

it's been another Merry Sickmas here too. Covid, flu, crud...blech. Hope you feel better.

Matt Rose

Hi, the full length White Christmas reaction is available by searching "White Christmas" using the "Search Posts" option at the top of this page. It was actually viewed last year around this time, which is why it does not appear in recent posts.

Steve Holton

Hope everything will be on the upswing soon. Are we getting a full length Whie Christmas?

BRT

2023 is already in my rear view mirror. Looking forward to 2024 and what new and interesting things it has in store. Also looking forward to spending time pretending to be watching movies with you all. :D

Roger Hagerty

Yes. I had to look it up and I think you’re right. She was Lutheran or Catholic or both I think. I do remember some of what I recently learned. Thank you for that, now I know! 👍

Ike

Cassie, I can’t imagine how hard it is to have your husband and your little girl sick on Christmas Day. The holidays are stressful enough as it is, but when your loved ones are down and out and can’t enjoy the magic of Christmas, the stress has to be double. I was fortunate to have both of my daughters home from college for the holidays, and was even more fortunate to be able to host 2 family gatherings this past weekend (my family on Saturday, and my wife’s family on Christmas Day). Lots of fun, lots of food, lots of games, and lots of great memories. I hope that Ben and your daughter are healthy for New Years Eve and New Years Day, and you can all bring in 2024 with a smile on your faces! P.S. - Nope, all the Christmas decorations and lights stay up through New Year’s.

Dan M

I’ll be in Rome this Jan 5th for the end of Christmas celebration!

JC762

Sorry to hear your family was sick for Christmas. Hope everyone is on the mend. And good for you and the PiB community for raising all that money for the families. That really warms my heart I wish all the best to you and your family Cassie in the coming year!

Robert da Spruce

I’m hoping your little girl gets better soon, also nice nurse shoes you are wearing in the other photo. Bless you and your family for bringing joy to other families in need. Can’t wait for you to watch more adventures movies on the next year. Until next time.

FranciscoGios

Katie Good work! If she watches Conspiracy Theory, I wonder if she'll recognize Capt. Murphy from the Lethal Weapon movies.

Bill W

I am sorry you have so much sickness for Christmas. I hope the twins are doing better along with Ben and your little girl.

Rick Williams

Along with Ransom I also sent Cassie Conspiracy Theory. Hopefully we'll see that reaction at some point too.

Katie Jackson

Late 90s Mel- Ransom, Conspiracy Theory, Payback!!!

Bill W

Jeffrey Schmidbauer Are you proud of yourself? 🙄🤣

Bill W

Popcorn, Momcorn, ... :-)

Happy Hanukkah

Yes, I incline to the Candlemas explanation. (Up to and inclusive; hence you take things down the next day.)

Happy Hanukkah

Merry Xmas to the whole Popcorn family!!!

Sean

Gosh Cassie, I'm so sorry to hear you, the kids and Ben getting sick! Recently my mother caught COVID and was sick for a few days, fever, body aches, runny nose, and coughing! Thankfully she's doing much better today, no more fever or body aches, still slightly coughing and sniffling, but she's doing good! I'm happy to say and not to rub it in, I'm doing okay! I hope you, the kids and Ben get better soon, you don't want to close out the year being sick lol, seriously, I hope and pray for you all to get well soon! I'm happy y'all still had a good Christmas! Mine was descent enough, spent the evening after work watching my dearly beloved grandmothers favorite movie, you know it well, It's A Wonderful Life and I was balling by the end of the movie! I'm currently watching your full-length of The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King, just for yuks lol! That B&W image of you and your youngest one, not only does it make me sad knowing that she's sick, but she looks adorable with you, so besides the fact that she's sick, it's still a cute picture of you with her and it warms my heart! What especially warms my heart is that pic of you at the Childrens Hospital, where you donated all the super chats from everybody (including me lol) during your recent livestream, that especially warms my heart the most! I'm glad I was able to partake in donating for a good cause during the Holidays, just goes to show how much of a really kind heart you have Cassie and that's what I love about you most! I hope you and the family get well soon, hope y'all have a fun and safe new years, can't wait for more reactions next year, love and support always, my heart and prayers go out to you, Ben and the family, [BIG virtual hug to all of you🤗🤗🤗] you & Carly are the absolute best 🥰😁😉😇🙏🎄🎁🎅👍💖🌹

Wesley White

So sorry to hear the kids are not doing well, it's rough at that age to have to go through that kind of thing around christmas time. Will keep my fingers crossed that they all get to feeling much better sooner rather then later. Hope you all have a wonderful New Years!!

Andrew Rose

I honestly never knew, Ian. 😊 It’s a distant memory, but perhaps you’re right!

Ike

Must be a bad Xmas for a lot of people. I spent most of Xmas day in the hospital visiting my dad who has dementia. His heath is going downhill and my mom has Parkinson’s and isn’t doing well either. I’m so sorry your littles were sick Cassie. I hope they are better now. At least your reactions are a small fun break from all the current stress in my life. Really looking forward to ransom but boy is that gonna be a hard one for you. Besides the sickness I hope you and yours had a good Xmas. Looking forward to another fun year with pib. You’re the best!!

brooke atkins

You're more than welcome! Thanks again for all your hard work in developing this channel. And if you ever get down, just remember all the people you touch, just with this channel alone. 🙂

Larry Dennis

Praying for you and your family. Hope you have a wonderful New Years.

Brian Wood

we’re still hoping we can get it up this week, yw’s dang copyright

Cassie

that is such a sweet comment, thanks you so much!!

Cassie

that sounds so terrible, i’m so sorry, hoping for better health for you this year!!

Cassie

Although I do not have children so cannot imagine how tough it is to have them sick, I know what it is like to be sick as it has been a bad year for me. Tooth pulled, cellulitis, covid, several colds, plantar fascitis, feels like my knee is becoming arthritic, and a "vitreous release" I think it was called in my eye which caused me to see floaters, and wound up in hospital on christmas day, so need to get that checked and may need glasses. At least I have this channel and TBR Schmitt to keep me in good spirits.

Brian McGovern

Agreed.

Uncle Phoenix

Agreed.

Uncle Phoenix

Sorry about the sickness in your family on Christmas. I usually take down decorations on New Years day.

Stuart Guthrie Jr.

I’m no slouch when it comes to movies. I used to be a critic. I watched around 530 movies this year… my point being I see almost everything… and even I’ve never heard of that HAHAHAHA But honestly, they can watch what they want and like what they like. I’m just personally very very over the man and most of his work.

djKENTO

Copyright issues, no doubt. It will come along (unless she pulls a White Christmas and saves it for next year).

Mike LL

From this tired old man, I want to thank you and Carly for providing me with a little hope and joy. Whenever I get down, I always put on one of your videos (especially when your sister Carly joins in) and suddenly the world seems a little bit brighter. May the new year bring you and all of your familys great joy and happiness. Thanks for the warm memories, and keep them coming. Larry D.

Larry Dennis

Khan? Yes, “Khhhhhaaaannnn!”

Mike LL

Great, can’t wait for these! Does anyone know what happened to JINGLE ALL THE WAY??

Chad Bailey

Hope everyone feels better soon. I’m looking forward to these reactions. Not a bad one in the list.

Don

And The Man Without a Face, also Hamlet.

Mike Lemon

I don't take the decorations down until all twelve days have passed.

Texas Anla'Shok

Wow. So sorry to hear about the terrible illnesses in your family, Cassie. Hope everyone comes through it okay. :-( Some good movies coming this week though. I admit I'm not the biggest Ron Howard fan. He's by no means a great artist, but he is a very competent artisan who has made a handful of very good movies and RANSOM is one of them. Though I know it will be a very intense experience for you, I think you will enjoy seeing Rene Russo and Mel Gibson playing another married after LETHAL WEAPON. Just given the title, I'm sure you already know which character from the series is returning for WRATH OF KHAN. It is considered by many to be the best of the whole franchise and it is a terrific movie. I suspect you will enjoy it and will want to continue on with the series after it's over to see what happens next. And finally, CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON is a superb film with some mind-bogglingly spectacular fight scenes and Chow Yun Fat, Michelle Yeoh and Xiyi Xhang leading the cast. Looking forward to this week. As always, keep up the good work.. and stay healthy. :-)

Stick Figure Studios

That Feb 3rd date struck me....is it related to Candlemass perhaps, Ike? (Though Candlemas is technically the 2nd of Feb.)

Ian Hunter (NewbieInOttawa)

It's great that so much was raised for a such a great cause! Hoping the whole family has a swift recovery, Cassie! Happy "pre-New Year's" New Year's!

Ian Hunter (NewbieInOttawa)

So sorry you had a bumpy Christmas. My family was also sick for Christmas. Still trying to recover. Hope the new year continues to bring blessings your way

Katie Jackson

"who’s already taken down Christmas?" After hearing how Christmas took down your family yet again, I decided to immediately take it down myself. That'll learn it! You're welcome. :-)

Happy Hanukkah

The picture of you and your little one. You both look like a Precious Angels!! Oh Cassie I am so they have been sick. My niece named after Mina from Bram Stoker's Dracula had COVID all weekend. I always picture you and Ben are like my sister and her husband. Just absolutely the best parents. In fact I know you are! Thank you Cassie for doing this even though your kids are sick. I can't imagine what you go through Mom, Wife, YouTube influencer. 💐. You are one of a kind Cassie. 🍿😀. Your not supposed to take down your tree until January 8th . According to the church anyway.

Zachary K. (Verified Swiftie)

Not until January for Christmas decorations

Joshua Stormont

I agree subtitled would be best. Love this movie.

Alex Laime

If you want to put Cassie off Mel Gibson, why not suggest The Professor and the Madman (2019) as aversion therapy? :-)

Happy Hanukkah

It's not "KAHN?!?", it's "KHAAAAAAAAAAHNN!"

David Crabtree

It's being held ransom.

Jeffrey Schmidbauer

Crouching Tiger will be the subtitled version I hope. The dubbed version isn't very well done, and ruins an otherwise great film.

Richard Maurer

Ransom! One of Mel’s best in my opinion, and since you’ve finished the Lethal Weapon series it’s time for you to see him in a non-Martin Riggs role again

JL_83

Looks like Ransom is one of those hard to find movies. Anyone know where to stream it?

Uncle Phoenix

While Ransom was in production both Gibson and director Ron Howard were up for Oscars for best director (for Braveheart and Apollo 13 respectively). I read in an interview at the time that they had a laugh on set the day they returned after Gibson won... Howard: So, you still going to stand where I tell you? Gibson: No. 😂

Robin T

Cassie, thank you for saving Christmas for many precious kids and their parents. There are smiles we won’t see and that’s perfectly fine. The rest is up to Him alone, so bless you for the effort! Ransom is a Carly movie also, if not too late. Christmas comes down on 2 January. (my grandmother always kept her tree up until February 3rd - Louisiana Cajun woman & I don’t remember the reason, lol)

Ike

Ransom, Conspiracy Theory, and Payback... 3 great Mel Gibson films that get ignored.

Bill W

Hope everyone gets well soon. Can't wait for CT,HD (with Carly!). Wish we could get Enter the Dragon too, but you can't have everything.........speaking of having everything, I have to ask for a Classic Horror poll again.

Richard Maurer

OMG,baby is so pretty,God bless her sweet soul🌹 this is going to be a exciting week for you Cassie,full of Kung Fu action,Starships, Mel Gibson,classic literature references and more! Can you leave us a link for donations to Primary children's hospital?❤ Outside Christmas lights have been taken down,the tree is coming down tonight.🎄

Celeste McAllister

You're going to love and hate Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I'll say no more.

D.M. Lipkin

Taken down Christmas on the 27th :o

Grad

nothing like a visit to a children's hospital to put things in perspective

Charles Mitchell

I still have the tree and decorations up but it will all come down after New Year's Day...just like I've done in the past. I don't have to worry about blizzards down in South Texas to deter me from my plans. Maybe you and your family should move to a warmer climate to reduce all those illnesses? Looking forward to the New Year with you and the gang.

Jeffrey Schmidbauer

My house had Covid in December (though amazingly I STILL haven't gotten it....three years and counting now) So we didn't put up Christmas until last week. Because of that, I'm sure that Christmas will stay up through February now. I'm sorry to hear about your family though... It's always terrible when people are sick this time of year. I hope everyone feels better soon. Thank you for making 2023 such a great year for us, Cassie. And here's to 2024!

Caomhan84

Just a PSA for those who need it - Christmas Day is the FIRST day of the 12 days of Christmas... so nobody needs to feel bad about not taking decorations down till at least January 5th :)

Robin T

All these space flicks n still no starship troopers. Maybe some day.

JohnnyRico

You haven’t had much luck for Christmas in the last couple of years. I hope everyone recovers soon. Best wishes for the new year!

James UK

All the best to you and your family Cassie. I've just noticed, in the 3 weeks since your YouTube channel passed the 100 million total views mark, it has now already reached 103.6 million! That's like 1 million views per week! I really hope it reaches 200 million by the end of 2024! Happy New Year!!!

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

Taken down Christmas??? No way! Christmas is good until the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree comes down!

N M

For martial arts movies, I recommend kiss of the dragon, Romeo must die, unleashed, IP Man, bloodsport, out for justice....there are many more, but these are great to start.

Edgar Gonzalez

If you ever get the chance check out the Thomas crown affair, remake with pierce Brosnan and Rene russo, I will guarantee this is your type of movie from your past reactions, also little women 1994, every star possible in it, and great adaptation. Thanks for your reactions, my wife has a brain injury and cannot watch movies with me anymore, and it is depressing watching alone.

Troy Jimerson

Hope everyone gets better soon!

Lester Yung

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Matthew Dunham

So happy the children’s hospital effort was a great success! You guys rock. And funny, Christmas in Hispanic houses go deep into January hahaha😁

Omar

God bless, Cassie. Sorry to hear about all the illnesses, but your family will rally — they always do! Please don't run yourself down, too, being supermom (and forgetting about self-care!). Here's to a great 2024!!

Above Average Dave

Ransom is a great movie, been waiting for this to pop up in the playlist!

Biggman83

Belated Merry Christmas, sorry to read that the boys are sick, I hope they get well soon !Ransom is a very good movie and Star Trek The Wrath of Khan is my favorite one of the movie series.

Danny (Icarus)

It is logical..🖖

Paul Spacone

I have taken down Christmas! Always on the day after ... but I live in a small apartment so space is always at a premium.

Keith Stevenson

Dearest Cassie, did you receive something in your PO Box? McKenzie and I wanted you to have a wonderful Christmas. I’m so sorry to hear that your little ones aren’t feeling well. I wish for them a speedy recovery.

Lamar Smith

Ransom is such a great film!! Can't wait! Being sick at the holidays always sucks. Hope everyone is well.

nick bell

I’m so over Mel Gibson but those other two? BANGERS! Let’s go!
