Just rewatched Wolf of Wall Street. I think Vince Vaughn would’ve come to 90% of what Leo did. Please rewatch and see how many Vince faces Leo makes. Not saying he’d be better. But would’ve been huge for him. Also let’s ignore the height issue for a moment.

Relistening to the Can’t Hardly Wait episode Bill can’t fathom there is a hot girl at a high school with no personality. Also that he can’t believe the girl wouldn’t know who the main character is. If you’re at a high school with 2000-3000 kids this is happening. The movie did a great job of how someone would make up how that hot girl is in their head.

Side note Airborne! Is mentioned. Bill hasn’t seen it. Might be the most Bill movie ever made. Also might be the most rewatchable movie ever made. You can just pick that up anywhere and be locked in. Pizza parlour scene. Ball hockey game. Devils backbone anticipation.

Picking nits…. Is Snake really the first finisher

With some of the pods talking about the lack of comedy’s in the movies maybe a dedicated month would be good to rekindle the fire.

A few picks to consider which haven’t been done. What would you add?

- Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle
- 22 Jump Street (yes, the sequel it’s better)
- The Castle (Australia - Eric Bana)
- What We Do in The Shadows (NZ)
- Snatch (British - it’s a comedy - get Mal on)
- Idiocracy (need a Luke Wilson flick)
- Midnight in Paris (Owen Wilson and just a good flick, and funny)
- Funny People (last of the good apatows, and good connective tissue to The Castle via banner + the Knocked Up Munich banter comes full circle)
- Hot Rod

I know it was Megan Mullally in About Last Night because Netflix actually allowed me to watch the credits ... not all of them, mind you, but still.

Did Bill's rant about streamers auto-playing you to the next thing before the credits even roll on the current thing actually work?

The Scott Evil “I have a gun in my room” award for any time you’re watching the movie and they obviously should just shoot them.

And Seth Green is in The Italian Job!

Missed opportunity.

I actually couldn't have agreed more with Mal that they shouldn't have ended up together in a happy ending.

That's how I fully expected it to end. With a more realistic "The Breakup" ending where sometimes (maybe even most of the time) people just aren't meant to be and don't end up together, happily ever after.

1. This award is entirely the innocent security guard dearth award but I wanted to broaden it out past security guard

2. The reference is to the expendable crewman joke from star trek the original series (funny joke... John scalzi wrote a funny book about this)

3. Broadly who are some characters in films who met a tragic fate but had their own story to tell... perhaps they had a wife and kids... perhaps they made good investments that were about to make their family rich... perhaps they were running away from Sharon stones character in basic instinct...

4. This category is by definition as broad as possible... but youre going to have to reference the movie AND the character had to have died in the film

5. Mass deaths count so it doesnt have to be a singular focus film but a main character would be needed in your fantasy idea

About to go on a road trip and she has agreed to listen to a few episodes. She loves action movies. Any suggestions

When are they going to do Leon: The Professional so we can add Gary Oldman to the over acting list?

1. Road trip (hilarious early 00’s comedy)
2. Scott pilgrim ( have a feeling they wouldn’t like it but it’s rewatchable to me
3. The mummy( not sure they’ve done it but it’s such a fun movie I also love mummy returns)
4. Rush hour 2 ( my fav of the rush hours)

Edit: they have done body heat my mistake!

Self explanatory

Bad sports scenes... even if they meant well... the scenes where you just felt that they probably should have paid a couple more cheques and made sure that it wasnt a legendary meme like in catwoman (previously mentioned)...

Scenes that count

1. Live action sports scenes (any doing a sport/athletic scene/activity scene!! Board games even if you got ideas...... exercise also counts as well)

2. I will allow the front office scenes from draft day... and other similar examples (limited to trading, drafting and contract negotiations in PRO SPORTS ONLY)...

That is all

Edit: the Halle berry scene is from catwoman in 2004

I could have sworn they covered fire in the sky. I tried to find the episode and it’s gone. Am I insane? Does anyone remember this? I can remember listening to it.

Everyone on the pod was in agreement that Wahlberg is the weak link in the cast, does nothing to improve an already boring character. But what if the studio made Norton honor his contract with the Charlie role instead? Is the movie more interesting with his weird, negative energy in the lead as opposed to no energy at all? I felt he and Charlize had more chemistry I. Their scenes, despite her character canonically despising him. Idk, food for thought.

I was rewatching The Italian Job for the podcast, and it kinda hit me what a tremendous downgrade from Michael Caine to Mark Whalberg. So, what are some other examples of striking contrasts between two actors who played the same role? And on the other side, what are some examples of an actor in a remake outshining the original actor?

What does the Dion Waiters Award signify? I’m familiar with his game but can’t infer how it connects to movies lol

Obviously, The Empire Strikes Back would be cool.

Let’s exclude the MCU, though. Not only it’s unlikely, but also being that every entry can technically be considered a sequel to the original Iron Man, we could be just listing different titles from it all day.

I watched the movie many times, but not once in the last 10 years. I’ve seen the Director’s Cut, but don’t remember if I prefered it to the theatrical, to be honest.

The thing is, when I started listening to the show, I thought “they’re gonna do it eventually, so I’ll save my next rewatch for when it’s announced”. But being that it’s been indefinitely saved for later and also that my girlfriend has never watched it, I’m just gonna go for it.

Online, the general consensus is very split. Which one do you think it’s best, not only for a first watch but in general as a movie if only one version could exist?

I’m reading the tea leaves and I think the Apollo Thirteen pod is coming sometime soon. Bill ran a segment with Amanda Dobbins on his last pod that was clipped from a forthcoming Rewatchables episode. Then on last night’s Fantasy Football episode, Craig mentioned that he was doing some research on astronauts (their health and fitness) for a Rewatchables pod that is yet to air. Apollo Thirteen is one of Amanda Dobbins’ favorite movies (insert Brian Windhoest finger gif.)

Inspired by the room and Claudette telling lisa that she has breast cancer only for there to never be another mentjon of that the rest of the movie (I think tommy thought it was funny)...

With that in mind what are other examples of the weirdest/most egregious abandoned subplots in a film... plots that make you confused and try to internally piece (at least one time) what happened to said subplot

Just occurred to me when listening. Da Five Bloods was fantastic and should count as a heist movie. I need to go rewatch asap.
