[YT Edit] The Fly (1986)
Added 2025-10-03 21:51:04 +0000 UTC
Hey guys! Here is the YT edit for "The Fly" which will premiere this evening!
A Cronenberg film I highly recommend is "A History of Violence" (2005). In 2005, a female employee of my firm's client (GE) visited from India. I was given task of taking her to dinner. I picked her up that evening at her hotel close to my firm's office. In my car, she asked if we could go see a movie instead of going to dinner.
We went to nearby theater. She chose "A History of Violence." We got situated in our seats. Early in movie is a raw scene between Viggo Mortensen character and his character's wife (the beautiful Maria Bello). I was embarrassed. At end of movie, she went on and on how much she loved movie and was thankful I took her.

And everyone who said she was able "make it" through "watching" this must have somehow missed all the times she closed her eyes and turned away from the screen

Had no idea it was successful. Thought it became a cult thing after release.

I was a kid when this came out and I remember how huge it was. It's bizarre to me that a movie like "The Fly," as good as it is, was a box office smash.
The sequel, starring Eric Stoltz, is much gorier, but much dumber

It's a must-watch, Carol. One of the greatest horror movies ever, and one of Cassie's best reactions. She earned all her subs with this one!

Great movie. Anne Parillaud is gorgeous and a great lead. But it’s almost completely unknown. Sadly, I don’t see it ever getting a reaction from Cassie. But I really hope I’m wrong about that.

Going through movies for Halloween, I rediscovered a real gem. Innocent Blood (1992). It's a movie that should hit a poll.

I watched this once as a teenager, very disturbing and gross. Not a movie I have ever revisited in its entirety.
Whilst a well made and directed movie with great FX for the day,once was certainly enough.
Well done Cassie for braving this one.

Off topic, I just heard that NHL season is about to start. I’m not particularly a fan (I watch college and NFL football for most of the NHL season). But I am a fan of the greatest hockey movie ever made, “Slap Shot”, starring Paul Newman. Hopefully, it can find its way onto Cassie’s November reaction schedule. I think she’d love it.

We mostly jest, Ethan, but I do have reason to be grateful for the body horror in this film. I first watched The Fly at the cinema way back, with a lovely young lady who is now my wife. Thanks to the Brundlefly makeup, she clung to me from start to finish. Silver linings, my friend.
Clarence Newman

That sounds super familiar. Is that from a movie or a song?

Shout out to all the people making sure we all know how little they're bothered by the body horror. We're very impressed.

A Sully triple feature would be brutal. Been to Hawaii exactly once (in late February) and got so fried it was actually embarrassing. Strangers on the beach said they were worried and maybe I should go under a tree. Lol
Chris Thom

The body horror doesn't really bother me. I've just subjected my milk bottle English body to two weeks in the blazing Cancun sun, so I could probably play Brundlefly sans make-up right now. Not to mention the mosquito gangs whispering in my ear in the middle of the night: "We'll hurt you if you stay."
Looking forward to watching a double bill of "Flight" with Denzel and "Flight 90: Disaster on the Potomac" on the plane ride home.

Gaaaa-ross! I accidentally watched some of this as a kid and was scarred. Just mentioning this movie gives me chills and a yuck feeling. You were tricked instead of treat!

Ok so I fell asleep watching this, it wasn't you. I had you in my ear pods your screams kept jerking me awake. I don't argue with the body, it's argument you just can't win.

I thought I was ok with gore in movies, but this really made me want to throw up. Wasn't expecting the practical effects to be that good. Terrifier series too.
Chris Thom
2025-10-04 12:41:51 +0000 UTC
This is not really a scary movie in the way that It was. But I tend to underestimate the effect of the gore and body horror of this movie on people since those things don’t really bother me much. I was eating Doritos while watching the full reaction, didn’t even feel a little queasy. Probably doesn’t bother me because I grew up on a farm in a family of hunters, so I saw a lot of gore and viscera from the time I was a small child, and became mostly immune to it.
Richard Maurer
2025-10-04 11:45:57 +0000 UTC
Fair enough. At least you didn’t feel the need to denigrate horror fans, which happens all too often here. I’m fine with people not liking horror movies as long as they don’t put me down for liking them.

This went about as I expected. I must have first seen this on cable back in the 80's. The image of him eating as Brundle-Fly is burned into my brain. The original is more suspenseful than gross.

Hi Ronnie. On the PIB YouTube page please click on "Videos" and then "Oldest" to see the videos sorted starting from oldest to newest.
https://www.youtube.com/@PopcornInBed/videos
This sorting reveals "The Shawshank Redemption" as the first video. And then "1917", "Stand By Me", "Groundhog Day", "The Green Mile" etc. Though in the early days of PIB there were some Patreon only videos that did not get a premiere on YouTube.
These include "Freaky Friday", "Starman", "The Red Violin", "Same Time Next Year", "The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing" and several others.

So, I'm waiting to watch the Fly on yt and saw that Cassie is up to 484,000 subscribers. Awesome btw. Just think if you're a newcomers to Cassie and all the fun it is to share a Movie with her. I think I watched 99%, so far. What were the first 5 or 10 movies? Does anyone know. I know it's 4 years now.

And I wonder if Cassie knows that Jeff Goldblum can really play the piano. Hell, he has his own jazz band orchestra. And he's released a few albums as well.

It’s amazing what they could do back in the day with some latex rubber, paint and goop. Someday you should check out the 1950’s original. Not for the channel, just for your own enjoyment.

I watched a bit of the watch-along reaction, even though I can't watch the film at the same time while I'm here in Mexico. It was plenty enough to know that I'm really looking forward to the full experience. The best bit I saw was Cassie flexing her arms and puffing out her cheeks like she was enduring a particularly violent pedicure. A reminder of how much she puts herself through to entertain us.
Respect.
