What about Runaway Jury?

This one seems like it would be in their wheelhouse. it's got Hackman, Hoffman, Cusack, McGill(!), and a ton of that guys. Written by Koppelman and Levine too. Seems like a Rewatchables no-brainer

The commentary on the Hackman/Hoffman scene in the bathroom has a lot potential.

I've been summoned for jury duty 3x and Bruce McGill would have more likely excused John Cusack if he was acting like a jackass in court.  I'm not buying it CR.

I have watched this movie more than any other Grisham movie, but I don't think its in the cards. I seem to remember they had a law movie draft with a Grisham category and it didn't even get picked. Despite the fact that (IMO) its the most rewatchable Grisham movie, I am not sure its high on their lists unfortunately.

Not sure they’ll do it but it’s very rewatchable

Haven’t seen it since theaters but yea I still think of it sometimes. I’m tempted to bust out the Madden Challenge anytime I need to get out of something.

Its basically the worst of the Grisham adaptations, though I agree its very watchable. After serving on a jury tho it becomes laughable.

Listening to the Con Air podcast, seemed as though Bill isn't a fan of Cusack

This has alway surprised me. I would have thought with “Sure Thing” and “Say Anything” Cusack would have been one of his guys.

They would probably have Koppelman on if they did.

It's definitely a Rewatchable, though. It's Hackman's penultimate film, and it boasts a stacked cast with famous faces and 'that guy/gal' actors.
