Summary

The Rewatchables hosts conduct a CR Month mailbag episode featuring listener-submitted questions about movie categories, casting ideas, and new award proposals. The episode covers extensive discussion of potential new flex categories, actor performances, and rewatchable movie universe concepts while maintaining the show's signature humor and debate format.

Insights
  • Narration in film is not inherently bad—quality depends on execution; many beloved rewatchables rely on narration effectively, suggesting the hosts' initial stance against narrators was overstated
  • Physical performance authenticity in movies matters to audiences; poor athletic depictions (throwing, running, sports) become memorable negative markers that can haunt actors' careers
  • Movie categories work best when they identify specific, niche details that only dedicated rewatchers recognize, creating an 'if you know, you know' badge of honor among fans
  • Character archetypes that demand extreme commitment from actors (Buffalo Bill, Wayne Grose) can typecast performers despite strong overall careers, creating lasting audience associations
  • Flex categories allow for deeper film analysis beyond traditional metrics, enabling discussion of production details, cultural impact, and performance nuance
Trends
Increased audience engagement with podcast categories and awards, suggesting demand for structured film criticism frameworksGrowing interest in behind-the-scenes production details and actor commitment levels as markers of film qualityNostalgia-driven analysis of 80s-90s filmmaking conventions (carpeted restaurants, cell phone plot devices, practical effects)Audience desire for meta-analysis of how movies age culturally and technologically over decadesInterest in actor career trajectories and how single iconic roles define public perceptionDemand for real estate and production design appreciation as film analysis categoriesGrowing recognition of supporting character performances as worthy of dedicated awards and analysis

It's like, it's like attending my own funeral. You know what I mean? Just people celebrating. Yeah, it's really nice. It's really cool. Yeah, I'm really happy for you guys. Thanks man. Yeah.

We've only been doing the mailbags once a year and we decided it's got to be quarterly from now on. We get too many emails. Craig, your only note was don't have too many category questions or suggestions. We got few months. There's a lot of other fun stuff to talk about. I want to ask CR questions while it's CR month. I want to know what your number 16 limitless is. Yeah, that was on the list. What's your version of number 16 limitless? Does it have to be from the 21st century? Sure. It's a really good kind of, can I think about it for a minute or two? You want to marinate on it? Yeah. Okay. When we think about it. Okay. I know what it is. We've already done it, but obscenely high movie that I've actually watched a lot of times. This century would be Margin Call, which you guys have done. But Margin Call, I think would beat out a couple of movies that you'd be like, damn, you put Margin Call ahead of that. You know what my version of number 16 limitless is? Limitless. Yours is Nomadland. Yeah, what's yours, Craig? Probably some sort of 80s, some 00s comedy. Probably accepted with Justin Long. It's a great movie. Not a bad movie. Interesting. Do you prefer that to waiting with Justin Long? I've never seen waiting. Early Ryan Reynolds. Never pitch a movie I loved growing up that you despised. That movie is awful. You didn't know any better. You grew up on the West Coast. If it were about the Cubs, though, would you like it? No, I wouldn't like that movie under any circumstances. Why? I just didn't like it. Okay. I mean, but if it was about the Cubs, which why would like, it was Boston that bothered you, wasn't it? Yeah, it was this friend group. They chased the 2004 ring and it felt inauthentic. Fallon's not even a Boston fan. She jumps off the center field wall at the end. Great scene. You'd break at least one ankle and then runs across. I believe she broke a heel in that scene. They have a whole rom-com moment. She's just on the field for five minutes. Nobody's like, we gotta get this. Security rushing? Yeah. It's one of the dumbest movies ever. Family Park notoriously buttoned up security as we saw in the town. That's right. Justin Long, by the way, had a moment there for like four years. Yeah. Die Hard, whatever sequel that was. That was the hacker one. I think that was. The movie when him and Drew Barrymore dated but didn't live in the same place. It was like a long distance romance movie. It's not terrible. My wife's definitely gotten in the car. You made a little comeback with Barbarian. Yeah. Yeah. Good scene and weapons. Good Justin Long came in. Yeah, Justin Long. Okay. These are all actual emails from actual listeners. They emailed us at the rewatchables33 at gmail.com. As a longtime rewatchables listener, this is from Michael D. I have noticed that CR inevitably gets very wound up with about 40 minutes left in the pod. This happens regardless of how long the pod is and always before the last run of categories. Can you shed some insight on what makes CR act up like a wound up kid or mid 90s corn hoolio? Is it low blood sugar, too much sugar, nicotine withdrawal, lack of sleep or something else? Keep up the great work. It probably comes right after you do like a minute long Zane low impression. I think it's excitement for the Wayne Jenkins category. Part of it is building up to Zane. I actually think that in most of my pods, the inverse is the problem is that I have like an internal game clock and at 51 minutes, I'm like, you die out. I've checked out. Yeah. Yes. So I'm trying to think of what. So you're load managing a little bit with the rewatchables because it goes longer. I know it's two hours. So there's usually like, but he's saying that I freak out like 50 minutes in. He's saying, he seemed like you're storing energy because you know this big moment's coming. You should have a sub like Vans just sitting off and you call him in for 10 minutes. See our rest. So you get some water and take a pee. Yeah. Could we have people come off the bench? Should we have a bench to place it? What if like, we just did a run of rewatchables and I was in a shot like wearing a sweatsuit like hanging out, but never was on the pod. And it was like, we're just load managing Chris. You know what? It was like that. Uh, we, what's up with that? The Kenan Thompson sketch from Bill Hader never actually got to talk as Lindsay Buckingham. Ah, Sean, I didn't like that take. Mahoney, come on in. Yeah. I think that there's, there's parts of the pod that I know I'm going to have to dial it up for. And, and, and so I probably get, get excited for that. I find that I'm at my best when we're about 90 minutes in and I'm getting a little groggy and the self edit button's kind of gone away at that point. Well, that also coincides with picking nits. Yeah. And that's when you really shine. Yeah. I also think day of day of the week is a huge factor. Friday afternoons is, is the best rewatchable. Yeah. Friday fun day. Yeah. Okay. This is from Steven B and Perth, Australia. Australians love the rewatchable. Yes. We live in Australia. I always feel like Australia and Boston. We got invited to go to Australia by like a Chamber of Commerce down there. Fun place, little bit of an attitude, little like fuck you energy. I really respond to it. Would you do a live rewatchables in Australia? I mean, we'd have to do like two. Yeah. Fly all the way down there. Rams Niners? We'd have to do, we'd have to have a couple of events. It'd be funny if we just flew all the way down from what? Yeah, just did one gig. We just like did a Denzel movie. Equalizer two. All right guys, see ya. Showed up at a bar, like was just like, hey, you guys want to hear us talk about heat. Okay. This is from Steven. He said, for a flex category, this is recently the, when you'd mentioned the anti-APEX award. Yes. And you nominated Tina Turner because of her all time stinker of a theme song for Golden Eye. Yeah. So it's like, go, Golden Eye. So it's the rock bottom award. Yeah. So he said, he said it's rare because the lowest point in someone's career, there's a fair chance the movie is ordinary to bad and not rewatchables worthy. So he had some examples. I would say, I would say, it's a perfect for a Tribal to Mike Myers and Love Guru, Brando for Iona, Dr. Maro, Cliff Hanger as anti-APEX for a rock climbing date. I thought that was good. Yeah. Boogie Nights, anti-APEX New Year's Eve party. He kept going. But it did make me think like, for the OGs that we have, which are Cruz De Niro, Pacino, Denzel and Sly. I think the five rewatchables, Mount Rushmore guys, even though it's five, what were the anti-APEXs for them? Do we have to pick movies that we have done rewatchables for? No, I would say no rewatchables because we wouldn't do these. Although we did. So Cruz, I think it's Oprah's sofa and War of the Worlds, even though I like War of the Worlds. Oh, and their careers. So this is when they had the least juice in their career or just the worst movie they've done. Reverse Apex Mountain. Yeah. Cruz in the. It's Nadia Mountain. It's what Cruz was doing as he was trying to revamp Mission Impossible with McCrory and then still making kind of like oblivion. Edge of Tomorrow is good. But don't you feel like Oprah's sofa has to be involved in this? Yeah, I guess it's like. That was when people were kind of like, wait, is Cruz nuts? And then Wilbur stops working with him then. Yeah. I think it's right around there for him. For De Niro, it's a little tougher to find, figure out De Niro. I went through his IMDb. In 2000, he had this great 70s run, 80s up and down, and then Rao is back mid-night run. Then 90s, he's killing it. He's making a million movies. But then in 2000, he just started taking paychecks and he did Rocky and Bullwinkle. And I think that's Nadia Mountain for him. There's, I feel like in the 2010s, he kind of starts flirting with like the dirty grandpa era, where he's just doing really cheesy comedies. He's just available. It right around 99, 2000, him and Pacino, I think were available. I would, I dare say that for some reason the name is escaping me, but the gangster movie he made for Barry Lawton. So last year that was apparently. Oh, Alto Nights. That was, that's my. Dirty Grandpa is a movie with Robert De Niro and Zac Efron as the two leads. I mean, come on. Yeah. 2016. Pacino, it's definitely author-author. That was in the early 80s. Yeah. And it got people going, wait, I thought Pacino was the best actor we had. And he takes like five years off after that. And it starts going sideways. Denzel was the toughest one. Because even if you look at the IMDb stuff for Denzel, he doesn't really have a stinker. So I'd have to go with Virtuosity, a movie that I love that we probably will do on rewatchables. But he is given VD by John Lithgow and people didn't really like that movie. And they're like Denzel, what are you doing? Is that Ricochet or Virtuosity? Virtua- Oh, maybe that's Ricochet. Ricochet is like an absolute oozing sore of a movie that I love. I'm getting my one word Denzel movies. Like Ricochet is insane. Ricochet is the one with Lithgow? Yes. So Virtuosity is one with Russell Crow? Yes. That's the one. Yeah. I got my Denzel's mixed up. But I personally don't think Denzel has a Nadir now. What about out of time deja vu? I mean, I revere out of time. There you go. Can't do it. So I don't know. Maybe he just never had a Nadir. Well, because didn't you say he's one of the only guys who has a hit in every decade for four decades? Yeah. And he really doesn't have stinkers. It's not like, like Sly Stallone is the other one. Sly, you could pick multiple Nadirs, but it's probably Stop or My Mom Will Shoot. It's like early nineties. He does Stop, My Mom Will Shoot and Oscar back to back. The point is we would never do these on the rewatch. I think you would get to like the end of a five year run with Denzel Washington and be like, this has been a quiet run for him. And then you look back and you're like, actually, like there are three really good movies here. There's all hits. Jesse Palmer, parentheses, not that Jesse Palmer. OK. Says on the GoldenEye episode during casting what ifs for Joe Don Baker's character, Chris throws out Dennis Quaid's name. Bill immediately shoots it down and says he's not old enough. And there's a bit of smoldering tit for tat between Bill and CR. CR says, I think Dennis Quaid is just as good a suggestion as Nick Nolte. And it gets a little testy. Yeah. The following segment, Craig's is flex category of the female sex killer, Mount Rushmore. Admittedly, a great pull by Craig. And you can hear Bill kind of off Mike telling Craig, good one, Craig. We're going to move CR to the bench soon, Craig. He says, I couldn't help but imagine CR's Ed Norton's character in Fight Club. Looking at Bill as Brad Pitt's character is heaping praise on new potential top boy, Craig, as Jared Lito's angel face and Chris A. himself. I feel like this drawing something beautiful. You didn't have a question. I don't have an answer. That's perfect. That was really good. That'd be fucking amazing if you walked out of your house one day and Craig's just lying there. I'm like, that's what you get for showing me up. Jesus. That is Quaid is the right age. Pat H from New York City. He says, the only runner to reach base in the Fargo rewatchables, no hitter. I guess you like the pod. Yeah. Is that the hot buffet chicken fricasse scene dissection doesn't mention the restaurant is carpeted. Carpeted restaurants seem like a what's aged the best, what's aged the worst split decision. To sort this out, I'd like to propose some variation of a Chris Ryan, Godfather three, Donald Donnelly, acting from the tonsils international, mobile, mobile reflex category for what's aged the most. Yeah. What's aged the most. So we would have what's aged the best, what's aged the worst, what's aged the most. This is good. The most foreign to right now. And sometimes we do have ones that are, it's really a coin toss. If you would want to call this best or worse, it really depends on your, your affinity for indoor smoking or whatever, you know, and yeah. I would argue what's aged the most is probably just what's aged the worst. Yeah, it's closer to what's just shoehorn that in there. Yeah. Yeah. But I really do like the subject. I mean, have you been in a restaurant that had carpeting in your lifetime? I mean, I haven't been in a house that has carpeting in a long time. Yeah. Carpeting. I don't know what happened with carpeting. I think they realized I think once we had more and more dogs, I think that ruined like the actual installed carpeting. I can still like no recourse every once in a while. I'll go into a hotel and you'll be like, someone smoked in here once. Like, yeah, it's got the carpeting. You're like, they can do a lot to it. But you're like, maybe in like 89, a guy had a cool in here and I can still smell. 20 years later. That was one of the things in the room to 37 documentary where they get into how there are no accidents with Kubrick and they talk about the carpet. Yeah. And it's like in one scene, Danny, the carpets one way and then in the same area, he changed the carpet to symbolize something else. And it's like, there were no accidents with Kubrick. I was at a hotel in Palm Springs a few months ago and it has the exact same carpet as the Shining Hotel. Did two, did twins come out and say, Craig, we'd like to play with you? This is from Dano. It's Dan. Oh, not Dano. OK, like Jacko. I know you talk a lot about actors who have no experience playing the sport they're playing in a movie. There should be a rewatchable flex category for horrible onscreen athleticism. I don't know why we don't have this Venice. I nominate Tim Robbins as the namesake for bullderm. But would it happily accept Freddie Prince, Jr. Wesley Snipes, and he says, love story, JFK Jr. show, you guys watching this? I'm not. You're not watching this. I'm not watching it. It's nineties New York. What are you doing? I don't really watch Ryan Murphy shows. It's nineties New York and the music and the. I know. Phoebe wouldn't watch that. I mean, like we just haven't checked it out. I think she watched a couple episodes. Yeah. Phoebe, not like in that show. I didn't say she didn't like it. I just don't think she's I think she's only watched a couple episodes. Well, he mentions love story. They have pickup football games played in Central Park and episodes one and four that display some of the worst football throwing motions by QB ever caught on film. I've actually mentioned this with my wife. How bad it was. The only explanation the actors never felt a football, whatever. So. Nominees for this award and who it should be named after. He mentioned three good ones. A couple others that I put some time into this. And I think I did a mailbag once about this. Mitch Kramer and Dastin confused the pitching. Sure. They do their best to cut around him. Yeah. That so that was the Freddie Prince summer catch thing. The wind up and then cutting to the guy behind him where it's clearly the stunt double pitcher because you know, the guy could. And he's a Wiley Wiggins kind of haunted by like the amount of criticism his pitching got. He should be. I think it's all justified. Roy Hobbs's son at the end of the natural. Roy Hobbs is in the cornfield. He just hit the homerun that set all the fireworks and then it cuts to him with his bastard son, his John Snow, John Snow Hobbs. And he's having a catch in it. And the kids kind of doing one of those. Yeah. Underrated one, Denonzi on Caddyshack. The other caddy and Caddyshack has one of the worst swings of all time trying to win the Caddyshack open. Snipes and white men can jump. This is one we've gotten emails about before. Can I just hit pause? This is just accepted that you guys think Wesley Snipes can't play ball and white men can't jump. I think they taught him how to play. I think he was a athletic guy. We argued about this when we did this. I think we did. He was an athletic guy that they basically had no basketball background and you could tell by the way he dribbles and some of the stuff. But I always felt like Woody and Wesley were like actual ball players who like they picked because they wouldn't have to do that. And now we did in the research, he'd never put basketball. Didn't he not know how to play baseball either? Didn't they cut around him in major league? I think he was athletic, but not athletic. There's like no shots of him throwing a ball in major league because it was so bad they couldn't use it. Yeah. But he's also like his character's whole thing is like he's like kind of a show boat in center field. So I don't think he ever has to like gotten somebody down at second base. Yeah. One of the best ones for this was they taught Rob Lowe to skate for young bud. He'd never skated and he's actually pretty good. Yeah. Like it gave me hope I could learn how to skate in six weeks. There's a really famous one online. There was a movie that came out in 2015, a comedy called The Duff. So that was my next one I had. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. That one's really bad. It's with Mae Whitman, the girl who plays Anne Veal and arrested development. Yeah. The Duff is an insane concept for a movie. But there is a scene where a quarterback is playing catch on the field with somebody and it looks like he's throwing with the opposite hand. She's standing next to him and he's getting the ball like when like Drake May is warming up to go in and he's just like doing this back. He's having like many seizures every time he throws the ball. Yeah, it's like he has like a completely torn rotator cuff and they made him film it anyway. My favorite moment recently with this was watching Paradise, the second season of Paradise. Yeah. Did you watch that? And I got off the train. Okay. So in the second season, there's a whole thing that's at Graceland and five guys who were like going across the country show up there and they are playing football, but like it's literally like, are you guys playing like Australian rules football or rugby or something? Cause they're like tossing it underhanded to each other and just giggling a lot. And like, I don't think this would ever happen. I very carefully watched Top Gun Maverick recently and I watched the football scene when they're playing football in opposite ways. You were literally watching Top Gun Maverick when we walked out. Well, I was, it was on. Yeah. Um, Top Gun Maverick and Florida, Kentucky on it at the same time. Yeah. The athletes in the, in the, what would they call it? It's shotgun football or something. Or is it dogfight football? Dogfight football. Yeah. Cause it's two, it's two balls. I really wanted one of the athletes to be bad, but it was actually like pretty, pretty compelling and athletic. I mean, I went back and watched the volleyball scene from the original Top Gun. It's not that bad because there's a lot of doubles when they cut away from the kind of wide shots. It's doubles who looked really good. It's just also a lot of guys wearing jeans, which is just so insane. Five eight crews in jeans, lofting way up over the net to like block people. It's pretty good. Uh, a couple more Leo and basketball diaries. Where'd he stand on that? It's been a while since I've seen it, but I remember not loving the game. It drove Wahlberg crazy. It was a lot of like, like dribbling like this, like the Michael, Michael J. Fox, who we got to mention too in Teen Wolf. Uh, Field of Dreams dad, we've talked about him before. Just came up recently in a movie. We've talked about Tom Cruise, War of the Worlds. That's a tough one. Yeah. Famous one. I actually went because I Googled to make sure I didn't miss anything. And there was a Reddit thread defending Tom Cruise and War of the Worlds that's saying that that's what the character, that's how the character would have thrown the ball. Tom Cruise is actually right after. It's too hard or because he just doesn't have good points. It's basically like Tom Cruise made a choice for the scene. He's playing after the sun, right? Yeah. Oh, so okay. He took it easy on a sun. Yeah. He made a choice. The Bennett like Beckham girl. This movie called Slugger's Wife with Mike O'Keefe and Rebecca DeBone. He's a home run hitter. Really bad swing. It's really, it's like kind of single handedly ruined the movie. And then one of my favorites, John C. Riley and for Love of the Game, which I asked Costner about once and he is basically like, he was the catcher and they very carefully cut around him. You never actually seen catching and there's obvious stunt doubles. And he's not throwing back to cost. He never played sports. But the, I mentioned Ben like Beckham. Segal running is the other one where I don't know if that could be, we have two named after Segal already, but that's Segal when he runs with his hands up and does whatever. So who should this category be named after? I gave you 20 nominees. Tim Robbins, I feel bad for it because he said he threw out his arm like two days. Yeah. He also like, I think does a good job doing Ebby's pronounced motion. Like his windup is like idiosyncratic and he does a good job with that. He just, he just, he left it all in the field and left his rotating. I agree. I don't think it's that bad. Tim, should we do John C. Riley? I have a hard time saying Wesley Snipes for some reason. It's not Mitch Kramer. Again, they cut around him, but you could. Yeah. You, you worried about Mitch Kramer. Well, if I was like 15 and I was in one of the best movies ever made and everybody just remembered me for having a shitty, it's like pitching motion. I think the Duff is not famous enough for it to have the title. Maybe we Tom Cruise, maybe we narrow it down to a final four. And put it up for a vote. Oh yeah. And we can actually show the clip. Hey, they voted for this. Yeah. So Wiley Wiggins, Tom Cruise, John C. Riley, and who's the other fourth? Who's the fourth? Do we want the Duff in there? No, Freddie Prince Jr. has to be one of the four. Okay. What movie is that from? It's from Summer Catch with Jessica Biel. Oh, I haven't seen that. Yeah. Yeah. Probably like it's sitting in the cape. Jessica Biel looks great. I think it's Jessica. Is it Jessica Biel or Jessica Elba? I think it's Jessica Biel. I can't remember. Yeah. So we'll figure out four we'll do a vote. Okay. This is from Russ. None of these questions were really good. My wife is a hairdresser and flies into a blind rage. Anytime in a movie where there's an emergency haircut in the bathroom with kitchen scissors and the outcome is a stunning haircut. Yeah. Examples. Born identity. Matt Damon gives Franca Potente. What was her name? Franca Potente. Yeah. It's one of the hot. A cute shorty when they're on the run. It's one of the hottest things ever. He dyes her hair. Working girl, Melanie Griffith, getting the pre-hares and Ford meetup hairdo from Joan Cusack. Sakari O'Day the soldado. You ever seen that one? I have seen that a couple of times. Benicio D'Otoro giving the cartel daughter their short hairdo before attempting to cross the border. And there's a couple other good examples. We did in Legend of Billie Jean, she goes in with the kitchen scissors and comes out and looks amazing. I throw in Richard Kimball in the hospital room. With a pair of like cuticle scissors and a disposable razor coming out, looking like fucking Harrison Ford. With like a three-dower hair darker. Yeah. I have like a nick on my upper lip right now that was just from like shaving the other day with like a nice razor. That was a shaving accent? Yeah. Oh, thank God. I was wearing a zoker. Oh God, I should have more faith in you, sir. Yeah, thanks bud. He suggests the Vidal Baboon Award for best homemade haircut. I don't know if this would happen enough times, but I do think we should monitor this going forward. Did she cut her hair in Gong girl? Well, she breaks her own teeth. So I feel like I whatever she wants to do to her. Maybe it's maybe there's some sort of like best bastardation of home beauty care or something. I don't know. There's some sort of idea. I think that one of the things that really bothers me is when you don't have the tools to do it and then you come out and you're like, look, that looked great. Andy says best podcast in the history of the medium. You guys are the greatest. Thanks, Andy. That's really nice. I did have an impact. He's like, that's it. Of course, he had an impact with Apex Mountain of Dinner, Scene, Assassinations, which we talked about on Sicario. We said Alejandro going in and murdering the guy. We said that was the best. And he was like, what about Michael killing Salatso? I'm a Munchlesque. If the lead up, I don't want him coming to the bathroom with just his cock in his hands, Clemenza shown in the gun. That has to be Apex Mountain. Louis Restaurant. I agree, Sicario is up there, but how could it not be the Godfather? He's right. Both acts of vengeance. Godfather is just a bigger, more important movie. Godfather runs. Okay. I think there's also just more, there's actually more drama in that Godfather scene. There's more buildup and suspense. I'm going to go, I'm going to zag. I didn't see Michael Corleone killing anyone's kids. You know, I can't. So until he gets there, until he has like Salatso's kids in front of him, you're not seeing Alejandro. Well, there's some backstory with Godfather where they were going to like, they wanted to replace Pacino and they shot that scene. And that was the scene that saved him from getting fired from. Oh, really? Big shot. Rob Evans and the Godfather. So I don't know. Fair points. Oh, this is a nice email from Keith W. In Portland, Oregon, one of your favorite places. Yeah, nice. Almost Chuck Klostermann. The beauty of being an active member of this rewatchables club is the shared shorthand. We should stop asking what item we want to have and start asking what item would identify as a fellow, a fellow fanatic of our favorite movie. Updated category, the secret handshake. What piece of memorabilia would only a rewatchables, OG recognize? Yeah, that's good. Um, the goal is to identify a prop meaningless to the masses, but a tell for somebody who's rewatched the movie too much. A few secret handshake examples. Heat, a copy of stress fractures in titanium. Oh, that's good. Vision quest, Loud and Swain's red asex wrestling high tops, which we talked about on that five solid minutes. Sicario, the blue and pink cartel money bands or the Indian Creek Sigs. Talk amongst yourselves. It's less about the resale value of the object, more about the, if you know, you know, badge of honor. That's a really good one. It's a really good one. I almost feel like we, we changed the memorabilia category. And if the movie doesn't have it, we just don't even do it. Yeah. Just recently I would love a Jerry's like salesman of the month picture that's behind Jerry in Fargo. I should do that where I'm like, see our month picture of myself above my head. Well, for Sicario, what was the bar when Emily blunt meets Berndthal? Oh, it's like, it's not wild bills. It's something wild, something pony or something like that. Yeah, you get like the matches from that. Sure. I like the deep cut memorabilia. I think it's a good idea. Yeah. The secret handshakes. Yeah. That's good. Good email. Tyler Davis watched to live and die in LA last night. And it's a CR special. If I've ever seen one, Prince is complimentary. I feel like the movie presents the pod with a perfect new category idea character. Most likely to want Quentin Daly to start over. Michael Jordan. Most likely candidates, big dick from Den of Thieves, Jim from the town. Big Nick. Big Nick would be like, yeah. You think, you think Seismore and Heat probably? Oh yeah. Big Nick was probably like a big Tim Thomas guy for the Clippers. He was just like, they just got to play more. That's a double, double every night. Okay. I don't know if this works as a category, but I like it as a keeping it in our back pocket. I really like that. Mike D says, in honor of CR month, I have a suggestion for a new category. What item from Midnight Run would help the protagonist the most? So we would just be doing the movie and be like, what Midnight Run accessory would help him? He said a money belt containing 300,000 you can't use until the start. The very end of the movie to start new life, a plate of tree sewn eggs, Alonzo Mosley's stolen batch, whatever. Did you have any others for this? Yeah. This is I only sent you three questions. This is one of them. So I would, I would definitely say that any movie where somebody is sacrificed for a principal would be great to have the money belt because that's the entire point of Midnight Run, but it is also just funny to imagine Agnes getting it at the end of Hamnet. It's just like, Hey, I wrote fucking Hamlet. We got paid off. She's not crying anymore. Now she's crying tears. She's a plate of trees. Oh, yeah. She's just cast away. It would be the tree zone. Yeah. It's like, Oh my God, this is amazing. This is the best. Yeah. And then anything like, I mean, the Alonzo Mosley FBI thing is just try to think of like where that would work the best is it's tough. It's like this question made me want to do Midnight Run again because we did it. I think first year you've seen it, right? I love that movie. Yeah. One of my favorites. It's just completely ageless. Of course. It's so good. Yeah. It's one of the few. The movie came out in 1989. So it's 37 years old and I just feel like it just doesn't. It's not like, Oh, they were like, you don't think about all they'd have cell phones now. That's stupid. No, it just works perfectly. It's just basically the best casting of a buddy action movie ever. The chemistry between them. It'll last forever. I'm going to shoot you through the glass. All right. Let's take a break and then we'll keep going. This episode is brought to you by Fire TV. You've been there settling in for a relaxed evening of TV. You waste half the night scrolling through options.

Find what you're looking for with Fire TV subscription may be required. All right. This is from Nick in Columbus. On the scaria pod, you guys were struggling with finding a role for cruiser Hanks. Where did we land on that? I don't remember. I think we were. I think it was Hanks for who actually I don't even know if we came to a conclusion on that. We kind of cruise was Brolin. No, didn't we say cruise as Berndtall? But it's got to be the lead, right? Or a lead. Oh, is that what we said? It's got to be a lead character. Well, see, I mentioned earlier in the pod, this is Nick, that many studios wanted the K character to be a guy that makes 90s cruise perfect for this. Yeah. The firm. Few good men. Yeah. A few good men. The guy learning the world. It's not quite what it appears to be. You can even go earlier to like Rain Man born on the 4th of July or cruise. Cruise is good at playing innocent. Yeah. But then the only question is then when you get the bar, the hookup scene gone wrong. Would lead to some of the best moments of cruises career. A love scene where you have to be too into it. And then he realizes something wrong and he tells them they have to stop. And then Emily Blunt could have played the Berndtall character. That's right. She's the one who picks them up and like doing some line dancing. Yeah. But instead of a heated hookup, they're just lying in bed laughing. And then he's like, no, no, no, stop, stop, stop, stop. Another question. Oh, this is a great one from Pete and Mest she sits. This is a, this is a two part question. He's listed in the secure, secari pod hearing Bill mispronounced Floyd Gondali's name. A character from a supposed favorite movie the past 30 years. It's Gondali, right? Gondali. For some reason I was just reading and I said, I just fucked up. I think we're finally at the point to initiate a new rewatchables category for excellence in the field of mispronunciation. Granted, it would be awarded a bill 10 out of 10 times, but it needs to be established. I'd suggest the Vandam bandam did Bill just have an under seizure award for most inexcusable mass curing of a name. And he wanted like Craig to just throw out a challenge flag when I throw out it, like a, like a, when you say feel and love, joy. Yeah. You just have a flag like, like Mike McDaniel just throwing it out to stop the pod. And then he said, it'd be great if we could get like the, remember that Nickelodeon show where people would get slimed. You can't do that on child's kid. Chips get shot with a water gun. Every time you do Gondali, there's a dunk tank. My, my answer for mispronunciations as always is it's hard to host. There you go. And so it's, I just fall back on that all the time. He keeps going though. He said, if you want another challenge flag category, I'd like to suggest the Bangkok Coralback tip off a word for is Craig actually a serial killer who one day have his own Netflix true crime documentary. He said in the scar pod, this would be when Craig casually suggested that Alejandro murdering the cartels leader, wife and children in front of him was not sadistic enough that after executing his family, he killed the kickpit too quickly. It should have let it quote, sit for a minute. Yeah. Let him marinate on it. This guy dropped his daughter in a vat of acid. He's just going to shoot him in the head. That's not enough. So he said, once the ringer body starts showing up behind drywall in an Arizona spec house, there will be a lot of, we should have seen this coming in memorial pieces about Craig's victims. I don't know. I'm not against it. Cause this came from Denzel, right? An American gangster where he shoots that guy in the head. He shoots interest. Yeah. He should have shot him in the chest. Why? So he could see him, see him die. Oh, he'd do the denier one way. Yes. Two taps and then one. Yeah. You want the person to know that you killed them. Yeah. If you can shot in the head, they don't know. Yeah. What else? What else? That's the whole point. But he gives, he gives letting him off easy. Fausto like five seconds to think about like, wow, my family went before me. This is crazy. Not enough. I didn't quite know to do this one, but I'm going to read it in any way for Marin and Ed Binton. Thanks for a great pot. Had the idea for a category, what change would make this movie 10% better? Sort of a take on recasting actor, city or director, like how heat would be 10% better if they either dropped the Portman storyline or had Vincent doing Coke or gangs of New York if Cameron Diaz was recast. I mean, that, that would be a 30% better or any number of movies that should have ended differently. 10% is tough. I almost think it would have to be like 4%. Yeah. But it's, it's good because it's not something as big as recasting because the recasting would, like you said, really significantly change the texture of the movie. It's like a tweak. Yeah. Or like the music in this chase scene was bad. You know what I mean? Like GoldenEye is a really good example. That first like driving through the Alps moment that they have. And I was like, oh, the music, it just stinks. Or the song, the GoldenEye song itself. You're like, oh, that's could have been better. Yeah. But then we're basically just in what's age the worst. It's kind of a nitpick, I guess. Yeah, it's a nitpick, but it would be like, hey, you made this change. You get like this much better. So maybe in recasting couch, that category, you have the option to just do the 10% better. Okay. All right. Brian and Bethesda, I'm glad he brought this up because I've been thinking about it a lot. He said, on more than one occasion, you've been discussing a movie with a narrator and have said something along the lines of, I normally hate narrators and movies, but this is a rare exception where it works well. I have said this many times. Yes. He points out that there's been a lot of movies that have narration that we've loved on the rewatchable. That's a fair point. He, best movie of all time, Shawshank. These are his words. Best mob movie, Goodfellas, Vegas, because they're the best movie. Goodfellas, Vegas, Casino, Vietnam, Poclips Now, 80s, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Dude Movie Fight Club, Coming of Age, Stand by Me, Cult, Big Lebowski, Christmas, Christmas Story, Fairy Tale Movie, Princess Bride, Rise and Fall, Wolf of Wall Street, best premature ejaculation movie, Forest Gump. This is his list. He says, yeah, it's cringe worthy when a movie is a bad narrator. He's this one as a crutch. It was so bad in the original Blade Runner, but at least got later removed. Terror Support is narration, but it also can be valuable. Henry Hill, Red, Hope in the Pacific would be his booze, his dream, so on and so on. What's an example of narration that you hate? So here's the thing. I think I have to tweak my opinion on this because there's too many examples of narration being good. I think my stance needs to be there's nothing worse than bad narration. Yeah. Maybe that's where I need to land. Yeah. I think I'm just wrong. I'm going to admit defeat. I mean, it's a side of growth. I'm an anti-narrator, but most he's just listed 12 movies that I really like that have narration. Yeah. It feels like a crutch. If the movie's bad, it's a crutch to try to make the movie better. But if the movie's already good, the narration isn't a problem. Yeah. It's just a quality. And he didn't even mention like outside Providence has narration. Like there's a bunch of like lower level movies that I love that have. This year, Train Dreams. There's another one where it's like there will be the introductory and concluding narration, but not it doesn't like you don't have it throughout the film. And I think that that has like a special category. But yeah, I was just wondering like what's the movie that you've seen that has narration that you're like? This sucks. I really hated even more for documentaries. And I feel like when you're doing a documentary, the goal should always be not to have narration. And if you have narration, you're probably doing it wrong. Can I ask you a follow up question? Yeah. Would you like to see narration come back from movie trailers and go back to like in a world? Oh yeah. I first of all, I would redo movie trailers completely from how we're doing them. From we did 45 years of us showing too much of the movie in the trailer. I like though when we don't it's like, oh, this is coming, but I don't really know what it like. I actually was on the few people that like the devil wears Prada 2 trailer because I don't really know what it's about. Sure. But they showed us everyone that's in it and I'm like, okay. I'm in. That's all I needed. Yeah. You don't want to tease any of the plot. You just want to get people excited by showing the vibe of the movie. There's been a couple movies where I've seen the trailer. I'm like, okay, guess I don't need to go. Yeah. But if you had like a, I don't know, if you had something like, you know, they were two outcasts. Yeah. He was a writer. I really miss that. She was just a little farm girl and he round up right in Hamlet. This is their story. I mean, I don't think that would work, but like, I think it could be useful in other. He was a Colombian lawyer assassin. His daughter was dropped in acid. Well, actually, Craig, I believe he is from Mexico. One of my Instagram things that always gets suggested to me is like late 70s, early 80s, ABC commercials. Yeah. We were there like in Vegas, Dantana is busting two call girls. But it's that Paul Thomas Anderson's dad, Ernie Anderson is doing it. I just want to go back in general to the cigarette narration voice. Can we have a flex category that's the Ernie Anderson? What would you do to narrate the trailer for this movie? Because there would be some that would be really fucking funny. Maybe that should, we should include that in the Zane Low Wain Jenkins. Yeah. Or Ernie Anderson's trailer. Yeah, or Ernie Anderson's trailer. He was from the wrong side of the tracks in Boston. She was working at a bank. They met at a robbery, the town coming soon. And now his friends want to kill her literally. Isabel Lopez. Probably the smartest email we've gotten. I like that you do first and last names, not holding back on these emails. Well, you put your name in. I'm going to read it. Yeah. She loves the show. She was listening to the Martian episode, which we did six years ago. Turned COVID. JC. Bill says, you need a special category for the post apex mountain apex. He called it the, I still got it mountain. Oh yeah. Sure. She said, there's a term for that in math. It's called the local maximum. It's the relative high point on a graph that's not the highest peak. I love the idea and think it actually applies to a lot of actor films you guys cover on the show. And she included a graph that for some reason didn't get dropped into my document. But she actually had the draft. Can I clean up the category name a little bit here? The Kauai Leonard pre suspension push. The Kauai Leonard last gas apex. Right before your contract gets voided, you just let everybody know you're still the best player in the world. So Matt Damon, the Martian is a great one. What are some other ones though? Well, let me think about it. So this is kind of like a post prime. You get your ring in your mid 30s, like LeBron 2016, Steph 2022 kind of vibe. Steph 2022. Yeah. That's a great one. Steph, that's really good. Yes. That's even better than Kauai. Well, the thing is is that Steph never really fell off. Kauai was like kind of gone for four years there. And now it's just like, I'm the best two way player. Getting paid by bomber right now. Me? Yeah. Little aspiration money. You know, CR's account. I'm sorry if I just want to fix carbon emissions, dude. Liam Neeson and taken would be a good one. That's a good one. Is it like Keanu Reeves, John Wick? Yes. Perfect. Yes. It's another good one. We'll keep an eye on this next time it comes up. Thanks, Isabel. This is from Jim. This is a really good one. I didn't send you guys any of these because it's funnier to hear the natural reactions. The first time we did this, I accidentally sent the document and CR knew everything that was coming and I was bothered about it like six months. The downside is that you hear a lot of like, let me give that some thought. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm pro reactions. He says, thanks for the rewatchables. It's been my go to since the first heat dropped. I want to propose a new category. The would you accept this characters organ donation award for any character who dies in the movie? So like Richard Chance for it to live in time. Right. He said he has, yes, I would, goose, Rachel Banks, Ray Merriman, Dickey Greenleaf, Neil from dead poets, Dr. Beth Gardner, French guy from unfaithful, Carl from die hard. Neil from dead poets. He shot us up in the head. All the organs were fine. So is this just who's not an alcoholic? Here's this, no, I would not group. Wingrow, Quinn, Eddie Barzoon, Doug Coughlin, anyone from alien in Edna, Buffalo Bill, Doc Holliday or Jenny Gump. Doc Holliday, you would get sicker getting Doc Holliday's organs. They're like, why do I all of a sudden have TB? Then he said in bird thought, we trust that's pretty good. That's great. I don't know if that's an everything, but I think we back pocketed it. I think that's in the flex category. We've accepted organ donation. Or maybe it's like, who's organ would you want from this movie? Yeah. I think if we did an organ donation draft, I think Quinn's the first pick for the one I would have want. He's just been drinking for 25 straight years. Oh yeah. And smoking. And definitely has melanoma from being out on a boat with no sun tan. Yeah, I would think he would have the most things wrong with them. Yeah. Would you say? The shark probably put him out of his misery, honestly. Chuck Coughlin from castaway. Is he a yes or a no for organ donation? He's been on that island for five years, had a really bad staff infection in his mouth. Fasting is good for you though. He's been in ketosis for two years. That's right. That's right. He's clary. His liver would be great. He's pretty clean. Do you think the first time he has a Kors light when he gets back, it just blows his mind? He just gets completely tanked? Oh yeah. I would say like half a glass of wine. His mom. His first trip to McDonald's sets him back a week. Adam Chu says that I have a suggestion for a new category award, the Clint Eastwood ego stroke award for the detailer scene that's clearly just there to stroke the person's ego named after Clint Eastwood in the mule who plays an octogenarian who has two separate threesome. Is this the thing that happened? I don't think I've ever seen the mule. I don't think I have either. I got him in. I don't remember that from the mule and I think I saw it in the theaters. Clint had to make sure we knew that not only does he still find the mule, but he's still making sure we knew that not only does he still fuck, he fucks with stamina. This guy might have a director's cut. He said other examples are the rock and Vin Diesel never losing a fight in every choice Steven Seagal has ever made, which we've talked about. Yeah. Steven Seagal, every movie, he just nobody even lands a punch on him. He just completely demolishes everyone. Vin Diesel is a good one though. We've never seen Vin Diesel lose a fight in any of the fast appearances. Not against this award. I might throw it in the flexes. Clint has priors too. I always found like the Renee Russo Clint Eastwood in the line of fire relationship to be like putting a little layer of cream cheese on that. Yeah. It's like, now she's going to look back at me because she loves it. She can't get enough. She's looking back wondering if you're still driving because you're 78. Somehow or still in the secret service. Connor from California said, what would be the Mount Rushmore of movie recommendations that would almost guarantee the female recipient you're interested would not have interest, not only in seeing the movie, but ever speaking to you again? Like to live and die in LA is a really good one to start with. This is a phenomenal question. He said, he nominates Bad Lieutenant Happiness, 8 millimeter and come and see. I don't think we're going to do come and see other watchables. And he said, I got to thinking how to repurpose this category and I give you the Harvey Cytel traffic stop bad lieutenant award for worst possible scene to watch on a first date. I know a guy who took a girl to go see the Romanian abortion drama for months, three weeks and two days on a first date. Oh my God. I think hereditary would be up there. That's a good one. Death wish. Yeah. Craig still scarred for death wish. First 20 minutes of death wish. You're pretty tough. I mean, even I even I walked in there with my head hanging low. I was like, I feel weird about this. I think we like kind of scooted past the first 20 minutes. Any movie that came out of her. I'll never see Jeff Goldblum the same. Yeah, true. Yeah. I think monsters ball is the answer to all of this. Yeah. It's what it's because we had that other category about worst thing to watch with your parent with your in-laws. That one was when you're all going to the movies together. Yeah. I think monsters ball wins all of this. And it's it checks all the boxes. Manchester by the sea tough first date probably. Well, there's a difference between like what's one that a woman will probably just be like this. You got to be fucking kidding me with this versus something that that's horrifying. Right. Right. I guess this is more like species. Hereditary and Manchester by the sea I think are like real bummers. Is species a terrible first date movie? I don't know. Or is it not bad? It's tough when you have to really come over have some ramen and watch species. Because you can't really. This seems great. You can't be like, how good how good the Natasha Hentrige looks. Like that's maybe. The really gratuitous naked 80s movie scenes are tough. Yeah. When she's nailing Alfred Molina and you're like, hey, how about that? Pretty cool. You like that? I was trying to think of fights that I had after movies with people I was either dating or on a date with or fights about the movie that whatever. And one of them was I saw chasing Amy with a girl I was dating in Boston a little bit. It was like a little that really weren't serious but dating. Okay. And she liked the movie more than I did and I really hated the ending. And we argued about it for an hour. It wasn't like angry arguing, but it made me like her last that she liked the ending so much. I was like, that's fucking stupid. I feel like once you get to a certain age, you're just kind of like, did you like that? And then it's like, no. And I was like, all right. All right. She's like, I'm not going to fight about it. I also saw Mad Love with Drew Barrymore and Chris O'Donnell with a date and they got choked up at the end. And I was like, wow, that I can't believe you got choked up with that movie. It's now hitting me. One of the worst nights with my wife was seeing the master. She really did not enjoy that movie. Oh, really? She was just like, you have to be fucking kidding me. Why did you take me to that? That is, the master is probably the most polarized and good movie because I don't like it either. You don't? Oh, I love that movie. I was just watching a clip from it the other day. I don't think that movie is a fun hang. And I was like, I wonder if we would ever do that. But yeah. I respect it. Sure. What did you think of Bagonia? Did you see Bagonia? I don't watch Yorgo's anymore. He's lost my faith and trust. Me too, man. Sold my tickets. Really? Yeah. You didn't watch Bagonia either? I watched it, but I'm just like, I only watch them because they get nominated. And I'm just like, I can't believe this. I don't like weird just to be weird. I think there's a line. I don't actually think it's that weird. And that's part of the problem. If you just look, oh, interesting. Oh, yeah, he's trying to be weird, but it's actually not interesting. I think the statement the movie is trying to make, I'm less interested in that. I think it's better if you just look at it as a, is this woman an alien movie? I think in that respect, it's really good. Nick, that's all he gave us. He has a category. Every watchable podcast, Fentasy is on, he gives a criterion level of fact that's either 100% true or is completely made up. And then we have to guess. Oh, two truths and a lie with Sean Fentasy. That's good. Yeah. It's pretty good. It's good. I would believe it every time. And there's some sort of reward punishment. If we guess correctly more than wrong, Fentasy has to do a forest gun compression, uttering line, I think I ruined your roommate's bathroom. He'd be like, fuck that. I'm not doing that. Yeah. Or maybe if we get Sean, if like Sean ever gets caught 10 times, he has to do a repatzibles with you. Where you just talk about Brady for an hour and a half about past games. Maybe we get to five and if, if guess, yes, first guess, no, there's some sort of either punishment or reward. Yeah. All right. This is from KB in Colorado. Is Ryan Gosling hosting SNL, the Hollywood equivalent of LeBron, entering the dunk contest? Gosling, A-list actor top of his profession, goes on SNL, fully commits willingness to risk looking uncool and deers into fans, not fans, elevates his brand just same. I picked this just for Craig because I know Craig loves Gosling. And SNL. I know the comparison is in Apples to Apples. I wish that more NBA stars would do this. And then he said, is Gosling this generation's best current host of SNL? He's putting together a strong resume. Is he flirting with Mount Rushmore or is that still set in stone? I do think he's the best right now. I think he's at the top of the mountain for SNL hosts. I think he's the best last 10 years. Yeah. Yeah. I think he definitely is. It's his, it's his willing to commit. It's not that he does SNL because a lot of people do it. It's that he's willing to just look like an idiot and do whatever they want. It's just such a good move. He, I can't think of somebody who's bet. Like, I mean, I was the Chalamet episode. Chalamet is good. I think he's in. Chalamet is good. Emma Stone is really good. Yeah. It's kind of a litmus test in some ways to what kind of actor you are because the ones that can pop on SNL and just ride with anything, it's probably part of why they're such a good actor. It's just willing to not take yourself too seriously. The Gosling SNL that he just did, the whole opening monologue was basically dedicated to how hot Harry Styles was and he did it. And like the fact that he was willing to do that shows why he's so great. It's a weird one from Tim in Los Angeles. It's a question for conspiracy bill. He said, in 90s crime movies, your wheelhouse, cell phones are basically James Harden in the playoffs. The second someone uses one, it's they're listening, dump it, get to a play phone, the smart criminals always go analogue. Here's the thing. I don't think that was just a storytelling crutch. I think big phone lobbied Hollywood hard to make early cell phones feel insecure and traceable. Slow down cell phone adoption, keep landlines of pay phones alive a few more years, product placement in reverse. All that cell phones taught us was you're getting caught. That's not nothing. I'm saying it happened. Really interesting. He thinks that like AT and well, who would, who would, what would big fill like the telecom companies? But don't those companies also own cell phones? That's where the conspiracy falls apart. Yeah. Because you have to get a plan and they were usually with the companies that, except for like, I guess there was a few that didn't. I like where his head's at though. Where did, what happened in crime movies when it's like get to a pay phone and you give the guy the number, that's kind of gone now because we're going to pay phones. So how do people communicate on signal? Do you feel like your phones are going to come back or any version of untraceable communication? Yeah. I mean, if Blu-rays could come back, anything's possible. I just don't think people really call that much. You know what I mean? Like it's like you call your loved ones and you get phone calls from like spam, but like do you, do you just like blind call Bill to ask him a question? We're just learning now that, I mean, obviously emails come back. I think texts, 10 years from now, we're going to think of texts the way that we're thinking of emails now. And it's like, people got to figure out ways to talk that's not traceable. I call Craig sometimes just to freak him out and think something happened, but I'm just calling to be like, yo. You called me when I was in Indianapolis and I was like, oh no, what's going on? You'll do, you have a, it's like the random Bill call that you're like, oh no. And then it's like, Bankero. I don't love it. When I was in Indianapolis. I like to be a positive force of people. I was at dinner, Bill calls me, I leave to go step outside. I answered and he goes, you're going to love CR's Zane low impression on today's pod. That literally happened. That was true. You stepped out. You thought there was an emergency. Okay. This is, this is, this plane has to take off and fly in the air for a couple of seconds, but it lands really well. Okay. It's from Colin L. Colin, I don't think we've had a Colin before. Colin, little rare name. You've been talking about rewatching Game of Thrones in the sauna. I do it every two years or so. I'm always caught off guard in season five, episode five. When Jorah and Tyrion's captures just casually mentioned that they would sell Tyrion to a cock merchant. That got me thinking about how one goes about becoming a cock merchant. Did you graduate in a bad economy, unemployment rate is high and it's hard to find a job. Just hate chopping dicks, do it all for the paycheck, telling people it's temporary, cut to 25 years later, you're senior director of Dorf Cox with thinning hair and a beer belly, wondering where your life went. That made me think about what other movies just casually introduce a character with a holy shit. How is that a job job? Like the dude in a minority report who just sells new eyeballs to Tom Cruise. Good one. Bet that guy's life didn't turn out the way he expected. Anyway, I think you should consider the cock merchant. Anyway, I think you should consider the cock merchant. How the hell is that a job category? That's a disgrace surgeon, right? That's our boy, Stormor. Yeah. Yeah. I'd really like the, how is this a job job category? I think that's really strong. Cock merchant. Cock merchant's really good. We've never, usually for rewatchables categories, we have movies, new award, not television shows. So we'd really have to bend it on this one. Yeah. I'm just trying to scan through my head and think of like, of like characters and like good fellows who had bad jobs or something like that, but it's got a lot of legs. I mean, it's tough to top eyeball reseller in the future. How about, I mean, Milich in Icewad Shut doing a 24 hour costume shop where he also pimps out family members? Actually, now that we're talking about this, the Joaquin Phoenix in 8 millimeter. Oh yeah. Just working in the adult film store and seeing things that you can't unsee and knowing like the dark world. Ruth from To Live and Die. Maybe just go work at like a subway. Yeah. Working at a topless bar and also acting as a snitch. Yeah. The guy in Ace Ventura. Oh yeah. Ruth of the Rat. The old man in Ace Ventura whose only job is like tracking whale locations in that room, in the concert venue. Yeah, this is good. I bet people have more ideas too. This is from Casey in Washington, DC. The Bill Simmons watching TV on blast through sauna glass award for the most ridiculous behavior in the movie. Think out, Pachino, give me all you got or Tom Cruise being drunk or Nicholas Cage being singing Halleluy in Face Off. But here's his big question. If you could do a rewatchables with Tom Cruise, which movie would you want to do with him if it was his movie? Ooh. I have a choice, but I'm interested in your takes. Depends on how. Craig would do Tropic Thunder just so we could do Tropic Thunder. Oh my God. 100%. I think you would. I know what you would say. I would do Eyes Wide Shut. I just want to know everything about it. I would want to know everything about like what it was like. It's a fucking great choice. If he was going to be like, it's all on the table, let's go. Like me and Nicole, me and Stanley, did Stanley get killed before the movie comes out? Like I'll talk about anything. I would probably be that. So maybe it's two versions of Cruise. It's everything's on the table. We have no secrets, Cruise. It's Eyes Wide Shut. Yes. If it's the Cruise, the public figure Cruise that we know, it's got to be cocktail. Yeah. It just has to be. What do you think his recall for the making of cocktail is at this point in his life? Like can you? I mean, he's an alien. He's never drank. He has all his brain cells. I want to know which Tom Cruise skill he's held onto the most. Oh, that's a great question. That's in the cocktail pod. You would make him flip the bottle. See if you can do it. If he's still good at pool from color. But he would probably be like, I can actually fly a jet and you guys want me to make a dark and stormy. Like that's like who gives a shit? If you could do one activity with Tom Cruise, what is it? Play pool. Yeah. Yeah. Or I'd want a bartender. You want a bartender with it. Yeah. Hey, there's an opening at TGA Friday. I'd like to give him sets and volleyball and just see what happens. I want to dance with him to Lil Jon. I'd also want to incorporate Joe House in it somehow because House has the rare ability to just be able to immediately befriend and hang out with everybody and give somebody a nickname. So it's like almost immediately like, TC, what's up, motherfucker? And just like Tom Cruise would love it. All right. I'm going to go with the guy. I'm going to go with the guy. All right. Shots fired in this email from Tyler. He is, he signed this Tyler on an ice road crew. Okay. Not sure what that means. It means he's probably driving on ice roads. I didn't know if it was a stealth rewatchables reference from something we did on an ice road. Who knows? Would this movie be worse with dot, dot, dot? Like how we do with the Hanks and Cruise, the reverse. Easily only one choice for each sex and blatantly obvious. It would be Jared Leto and Dakota Johnson. I was yelling in my tractor for Craig to be a man and name them, but obviously someone has gotten to him too. When did we talk about this? Would this movie be worse with Jared Leto or Dakota Johnson? I think that's pretty funny. Where are you at with Dakota? I personally really like her. She's been in her batting average is she's under the Mendoza life. Yeah. I personally like her. It's pretty rare to have this amount of turkeys, I guess, but I do find myself fascinated by her. I agree. I like her as a personality, I think more than I do the movies. She's a better talk show guest than she is. I loved when she flipped it on Ellen. I felt like that started the Ellen DeGeneres turn when she was like, I didn't bite you, you didn't respond or whatever that whole thing was. Jared Leto, I just don't like. Yeah. Yeah, I root against him. First of all, any actor who then also tries to shove his band down your throat, I just my guards up. Jared Sure. Jared Right away with those guys. Jared Who are the best actors that are in a popular band? Jared Keanu. Oh, in a popular band? Jared Yeah. Jared I mean, Dog Stars, Billy Bob is a big, like, my band. Jared Like that, like my band is real busy this year, so land man may have to wait a while. Jared James Dolan is the best. Jared Also, here's my band. Jared Yeah, he's straight shot. Jared Here's my band. He has like these, like some of the best jazz musicians in the country he overpays to his backup band. Want to take a break and I have a big question coming up. Jared Okay. Jared Okay. All right, this is from Josh from Vegas via Albany. And he said in parentheses, yes, that's a real thing. Building a rewatchable as extended movie universe, Hall of Fame Pyramid, like I did with the book of basketball. Jared Who are the level one guys who's on top? Who are the role players? I feel like this could at least be a good meal bag bit. You're correct. So I was thinking about this, I put some time into this one. I sent this one to you guys. If we did like you do it every year, right? Like how the NBA they have like this year's inductees. Jared Yeah. Jared We did the first ballot. The Pantheon would have to be the five people that have been in the most rewatchable movies. I think that'd be a fair way to do it, which is Cruz 17, Pacino 14, De Niro 13, Denzel 12, Stallone 12. Jared Yes. Jared So those would be our first inductee for the Pantheon. I think you'd have the following four directors, Spielberg nine, Tony Scott nine, Michael Mann eight, Scorsese eight for you put those four in. Special achievement. Steven Segal brought us a lot of joy. Jared Sure. Renee Russo just killing the 90s, showing up over and over again. She's been in seven rewatchables movies. Jared Oh my God. Jared Philip Seymour Hoffman. Jared Got his own category. Steven Seymour Burntall. Jared How's the peeping? Jared How's the peeping? Jared You know what PSH scene I just keep watching over and over again? Jared Mission Impossible 3. Jared You think I won't do it? So special achievement. Would you put Burntall in there for what he meant to the rewatchable? Jared Sure, gotta be. Jared I feel like he gets in. Jared Yeah. I think Julie Roberts gets in. She's second most female rewatchables plus Pretty Woman was one of the funniest pods we had and I don't know, she's just popped in different decades. Jared In special achievement or just in? Jared I was thinking special achievement but you could also just save her for Hall of Fame. Is there anybody else you would do for special achievement? Jared I would, I mean if you just want to use people who have been, I think like Phillip Baker Hall for instance deserves recognition as a role player for his role. I think you'd do like- Jared Do I have him in the next category for the that guy category? Jared Yeah. Jared But it's also in the imitations for a while. Jared Oh true. Jared Yeah. Jared Who else did we do for imitations? We had Wayne. Jared Robert Logea, Andy Garcia, Phillip Baker Hall, Pete Possilway. Jared I honestly Logea's gotta be. Jared Logea's in. Jared Yeah. Jared Logea because he also is in big. Jared All right so special achievement, Segal, Rousseau, Hoffman, Logea, would you have a fifth? Jared Oh. Jared Karen from Goodfellas. Jared Yeah. Jared Lorraine Braco. Jared Yes. Jared Yeah. Jared Braco's in. Jared Okay. Jared That's five. Jared The that guy award. Jared Mm. Jared These are all graduated that guys but Joey Pants, John Carroll Lynch who was in three and four at one point. Jared Yeah. Jared What a run for him. Jared I think Katherine O'Hara has to be in there because she's been in a bunch of different ones we've done, different characters, and Remar. Jared Yeah. Jared We've talked about Remar and then would you put Baker Hall as the fifth? Jared Yeah. Jared He's probably actually also been secretly in like 10 rewatchables. Jared I don't know the exact thing. Jared I know we need to find our Robert Ori who's actually been in the most rewatchables movies. Is it Cruise with 17 or is there somebody who's actually been in more? Jared I looked this up. Nobody's been in over 10. Jared Do you know how many Hoffman movies we've done? Jared How many PSAs movies? Jared Yeah. It's seven or eight. Jared Wow. Jared Yeah. Jared And there's some left. Jared Oh yeah. I mean there's some that I would just put in just for him. Jared So then I have the Charlie Wilson's War or something. Jared Throw your life away. Roller girl, Katherine Chamelle, Edie Falco and Copland, and Robin Gibbons and Boomerang. Jared Oh and there's I can think of a bunch of other ones. Jared But I think this is the first class. Jared DeMorne from Risky Business. Jared Yeah. We have room for one more. Jared Room for one more. I mean he literally did throw his life away. Jared All right. We'll add DeMorne. Risky Business. Unless you want to do Species. Jared I don't care if I die at the end of the sexual encounter. Jared I mean certainly. She should probably be in there. I mean let's be honest. Jared A bunch of guys did throw their lives away from her. Jared Yeah. Yeah. Jared Yeah. That's social business. Jared Who do you like from Fletch? Jared Oh Dana Wheeler Nicholson. Jared Yeah. Jared That could be another category of most polarizing arguments we've had on the podcast. Sean just being just laughing us down for an hour and a half. Jared Yeah. Like forget that. Jared I mean I would throw Courtney Cox from Ace Ventura in there but. Jared Oh. Can add that as well. Just a tripe thing. Jared We're just naming hot women's group. Jared Yeah. And then last one. This is the big one. The Deon Waiters first class. So I did some work on this. Ted Levine Sounds of the Lambs. Jared Yeah. Jared She's a great big Vap version. Jared Catherine Hahn and Step Brothers. Jared Uh-huh. Jared We did like 15 minutes on how good she was in that movie. Jared We did that a while ago. Jared She's so fucking funny in that movie. Jared We should re-step. Jared That was like 2017. I wasn't doing the show then. Jared Are you sure? Jared Yeah. I wasn't there. I don't think. Jared Who did you do it with? Did we do it? Jared I don't remember. I don't remember anything anymore. It might have been Miu and Sean. Jared Maybe. Let me see what that was. Jared She's amazing in that movie. Jared So good. Did we do like I feel like we talked about the catalytic wine cooler for like 25 minutes. Jared It was the U2 and Sean July 2018 which is the week I got hired. Jared Wow. So we could probably do that as a live show. Cyrus and the Warriors. Jared Uh-huh. Jared Christopher Walken with the combo pulp intro romance. Jared Yeah. Jared I think he won for both. Jared Yeah. Jared Right? Jared Yes. Jared And then Clemenza and the Godfather who we talked about for a while. Jared We did. Jared Just five scenes just absolutely annihilating all of them. Jared Just Kristoff Waltz count from Inglourious Basterds. Jared He's like he's in it too much. Jared He's in it too much. Jared Because the other one is I initially I thought Melissa McCarthy and Bridesmaids one of the funniest performances of all time. Jared But she's in it too much. Jared She's like a star in the movie. Jared It's an ensemble. Jared That's why Katherine Hansen like four scenes just like absolutely destroying everything in all of them. Jared But I think it's those four. There's probably some other ones. Jared Oh and McBride and this is the end. Jared Oh yeah. Jared Oh my god. Jared Is he in it too much? Jared He's in it for the first half of the movie right? Jared He's in it too much. Jared Oh no way. It's more like the second third where he shows up after. Jared The whole night happens and then he wakes up. Jared But he's probably there for a good 30 minutes. Jared Yeah. Jared I don't know. Jared It's tough. Jared Michael Sarah and this is the end. Jared Oh yeah. Jared Oh that's a good man. I think he won actually. Jared He had to have slapping Rihanna's ass. Jared Because we probably decided McBride was in it too much. Jared Blowing Coke in people's face. Jared Is there any other category you would put in for the Hall of Fame? Jared I think we should just make that we should actually really put more time into this and then announce it on some special pod and have plaques and stuff. Jared Yeah. That would be good. Jared But is there another category that should be in there? I think those are the basics. Jared No those are the big ones. I mean I think Apex Mountain is so open for debate about what it is. Kind of like it's hard to put it in. Jared We didn't have Bargain. Yeah it would be too confusing. Because I was thinking could Villain be in there? Jared Oh Hans Gruber Villain. Jared You could do Apex Mountain by year. Who has 1984? Who has 1985? Who has 1986? Jared I was thinking because we did We Have Nice Guys Coming and Gosling was in that in La La Land same year that my case for that they should name for the Oscars and MVP of the year. Jared Oh yeah. Jared Either somebody that just completely the performance was so unbelievable they own the year or somebody that had multiple movies. Jared I would love to go back through. I mean there's like the Spielberg. There's a couple Spielberg years where he does two movies in the same year. Jared Yeah. Jared Yeah. I mean that's the thing the MVP can be director, actor, actress, anything. Jared Cinematographer even. I mean we talked about Kerry in 94 doing Dumb and Dumber. Jared When's Going Away. Jared The Mask and a Spittura. Jared It's like unanimous vote. Like almost like Jared And if you go back earlier to like the 70s and 80s there are times when people put up like three, four movies that are pretty good. You know like Redford, Hoffman, De Niro years. Jared Didn't Soderbergh get nominated for best director for two different movies in the same year? Jared Yeah. Traffic and Aaron Brockovich right? Jared I mean that's no wait. Yeah that was it right? Jared Yeah. Jared Yeah. Jared Tom Kay and Tucson. He wants us to flirt within Unwatchables Month and he mentioned we have to do Gile, the Ben Affleck Antiqua classic. Jared Is that a rock bottom? The opposite of Apex Mountain? Gile? Jared That's his Nadir Mountain. He mentions how Affleck's critical to the pod which is true. Jared We love Affleck. The hangover is Justin Bartho submits a nuclear holocaust of a Rain Man impression that his career somehow survived. Two big name cameos in the film including Al Pacino and then he suggested Unwatchables Month. Gile, Rocky V, Battlefield Earth, Freddy Got Fingered and Catwoman. We get a lot of requests for Catwoman because it's really truly one of the worst movies ever made. Jared Is that the Halle Berry one? Jared There's a crazy basketball scene in that movie that's like I can't even describe it. But I'm sure Dan has some thoughts on Catwoman. Gile We've kind of lost the art of making real stinkers because now there are more like superhero movies or sci-fi movies that you're watching but usually superhero movies where I'm like I can't believe they let this like they put this out. Jared Well it's funny because right now there kind of is one of those in the bride. Gile Yeah but there are a bunch of people who think the bride's awesome. Jared Yeah. Gile Or the bride is like a brave step, you know? Jared Yeah. I like the bride zaggers. Gile Yeah. Jared They're like you guys didn't understand the bride. Gile Like we have cats I guess. Jared Oh yeah. The Taylor Swift cats. Gile Yeah. Jared Drew s writes, what do you think about adding a flex category for the Ted Levine Buffalo Bill Award for performance so good and distinct it damaged the actor's career. Retroactive winners include Billy Zabkin, Karate Kid, Patrick Bergen and Sleeping with the Enemy. And even though Chris Maloney and J.K. Simmons had strong careers you can never unwatch their characters in Oz. Jared Wayne Grow to me is the ultimate example. Gile Yeah I don't even know. Jared We can even see Wayne Grow again after. Gile I mean I think he's even now leaning it like he did the Maloney show where he just came out as Wayne Grow. Jared This is a good flex category for if there's a movie where it's so clearly. Gile It's basically like are you going to be signing autographs at conventions for the next 30 years as this character? Jared Yeah. Gile It's a typecast award I guess right? Kind of. Because we see it in TV all the time. It's like Jason Alexander was George Spendon. Jared This is more disturbing right? Jared Yeah. It's like the performance was so distinct that you can't unsee the performance from the character. Gile But it's like Patrick Bergen is a good example. Jared That's a perfect one. Gile He was a good actor but sleeping with the enemy you've just seen him going. Jared Right. Gile Laura. And he's just so crazy and evil you're like he actually has to be crazy and evil. There's no way he's acting. Jared Yeah. Jared That's a really tough line to cross. Wayne Grow same thing. Gile Frank Nady in the Untouchables. Jared Hmm. Gile I can't remember that actor's name but it's like. Jared The bad guy? Gile Yeah. Jared The guy in the white suit I would just be like I'm going to the other side of the street. Gile For Jeff it's Goldbloom and Deathwish. He watches the big show is. Jared Man this is a great category. There's so many that I want to go back and look at. Gile Like the role that haunts you. The role that haunts the actor. Jared Yeah. Gile This is a nerdy one from Ron in Florida. He's a tax lawyer. He said in 82 Congress passed the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act which made bear bonds very expensive for companies to issue and are very rare to see after the mid 80s. That's why you don't see bear bonds anymore. And he can look past it for some post 82 movies like Beverly Hills Cop maybe even Die Hard but when we get to heat and panic room no fucking way basically he's saying. Gile They're just out of circulation. Jared Yeah. Gile He's like Roger Van Zand is not carrying around 1.6 million in bonds. We'll pass the maturity date come on. Jared Okay. Gile We'll tell Michael Mann for it. Jared Right. Matt Hennessey suggested Dave Toshki, Animal Crackers Award for most niche taste or interest exhibited by a main character in a movie. Jesus. This is good. Floyd Gondali's Pension for Backdoor Lollipops he mentions. Jared Did you just do it again? Gondali. Matt Floyd Gondali. Gondoli. Gondoli. Jared Yeah. It did it. Jared Challenge Floyd. Jared Very flag. Jared Flag. Jared Don't take. Matt Reynolds Woodcocks fondness for Poison Mushrooms and Phantom Thread. Jared Sure. Jared Steve Krause character in Little Miss Sunshine being the permanent pro-scour in America. And then Neil McCauley in Metals. It's pretty good. Matt Or like Malcovitch and Rounders liking Oreos. Jared Yeah. Matt This is pretty good. Jared I think this goes into Fleck. Matt Jennifer Lopez Dolphin's fan in Out of Sight. Jared It's not niche. I mean she's from Miami but it's still like it's like absolutely mind blowing. Jared She just walks out wearing a Merino jersey. Yeah. Jared What's, what's Fannesys version of this? Matt It's like what's his name in to live and die in LA wearing a Steelers Max or what's the Mike Webster jersey? Jared Mike, Mike Webster jersey. Matt What's Fannesys most niche taste? Jared Like as a human being? Matt Yeah. Jared I think it's almost the reverse of his no white condiments thing. Matt Is that a thing? Jared Oh yeah. Matt Like no ranch, no mayo? Jared Nope. Jared Although he does cheat with AOLY sometimes but he doesn't like any white condiments. Jared Is it because, like why? Jared He just happens to not like condiments that are honestly, don't even know. Matt It's such a good answer and it's, it's great. It's so Fannesy. Like really hates mayonnaise. Jared Oh no, no milk. Matt No white condiments. Jared Oh no milk. Matt Yeah. Jared Wow. Matt Yeah. Jared Does like half and half. Jared Mayo's great. You need mayo in a sandwich. Jared Rob Casher actually convinced me to change a category. Jared Oh. Jared And he said he's a huge fan of the show. He's been on the ride since the page two days. But he said it's a terrible job by me with the Elizabeth Shueward. She's highly educated. She went to Wellesley and Harvard and she radiates intelligence most of her work. I can't disagree. Her being cast as an astrophysicist is perfectly credible in the same. At least by Hollywood standards, it does not feel like she was cast because she was simply hot. Obviously the award needs to be the Denise Richards as nuclear physicist Christmas Jones award. Jared Sure. Jared So I changed that. I think he's right. Denise Richards playing a nuclear physicist is a hundred times more absurd than Elizabeth Shue. Jared I like it. The Christmas Jones award. Jared Yeah. I really like this question from Jack in Austin. In the social network, there's a short scene where Eduardo comes to visit Zuck in his dorm room and mentions he made it to the next round of the final club recruitment. Isenberg gets up, stands in the doorway and robotically says, that's good. You should be proud of that right there. Don't worry if you don't make it any further. Jared It's an all time line reading that conveys smartness, jealousy, and resentment without showing much emotion. I propose the that's good. You should be proud of that right there. Don't worry if you don't make it any further award for best line reading. Jared Passwaters includes she's got a great ass. Everybody in the German army has heard of Hugo Stigwitz and my offer is this, nothing. We have to add this. Jared Okay. I don't know if Sean's going to listen to this, but next time we have Sean on and he says something, you should go, that's good. You should be proud of that. Don't get mad if I don't throw to you for a while. Sean I think best line reading is a great one. Jared I'm kind of surprised we've had this pod for nine years and didn't think with that. That should be a category. Jared Yeah, because it's a little twist on best quote or belatedly best quote, best line reading. Leslie Nielsen and airplane. Good luck, Rockhanna. Jared Right. Jared But I think what his point is also that the what Jesse Eisenberg says, winds up being a very prophetic thing about his relationship with Eduardo. Jared The words seem to be really, yeah. It's perfect. Jared So it's hard. It's like that's a tasty beverage or that's a tasty burger. It's an incredible line reading. I don't know if it has everything to do with the whole fiction. Jared He doesn't have weight. Pat from Scranton had one that, another good category suggestion about, if we did a recast the Wilson, I'm sorry award for, did this movie cross over in a pop culture and become a universal Joker reference? Like the exorcist headsband. Jared Oh yeah. Jared He mentions Groundhog Day, the movie. Houston, we have a problem. Funny, how am I funny clown? Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in. Jared Houston, we have a problem. It's from a movie. Jared Yeah. Isn't that in Paul 13? Jared Yeah, it's Paul 13. Jared But that's where it started. Jared Yeah. Jared I mean, I think that they actually said it. You know, like on the TV broadcast. Jared Oh, I didn't realize that movie is what pushed that into the lexicon. We thought that was already a thing. Jared We need to add this. If a movie had a moment that actually became cultural, I think that needs to be recognized. Jared It's tough because- Jared We can put it on what stage is the best. Jared The last like 10 years, I feel like they become more like visual memes and like that rather than the lines. Jared Because now it's like a screenshot of Killian Murphy from Oppenheimer after like the what have I done and it's just a shot of him looking down. Jared For the Duff quarterback. Jared Right. Jared Or the Duff quarterback. Jared Yeah. Jared What's the last movie you can think of that really broke into like popular cultural lexicon? Jared I think it takes 10 years. I think it's a slow burn. Jared Yeah. Because it's like Bane now is like there's all these Bane jokes like that you'll hear on like sports pods and stuff and it's like that was not happening like when it first came out. Jared The town's a good one though. Jared Yeah. Jared Like the town which is 15 years old. Jared Whose car are we going to take? Jared That departed. I think it takes like 10 to 15 years. Jared Yeah. Jared It's got to really, really work at it. Jared and are I'm still laughing about you. That's a good take shot. Don't get mad at my old calling you for a while. Another 48 hours and we mentioned the Warriors and Jordan R mentions how bad Rembrandt was for though was this guy really good at his job category. Um tagging the gravestone very simple. See a lot of a lot of stuff about like Rembrandt this was like your one job in the gang and you just did like very mediocre graffiti and once Rembrandt to be added to Vincent Chase. I don't think we need to do that. I'm going to watch the Warriors again though and really look at the graffiti. Jared This kind of gets into like was Creasy the best getaway driver or the only available getaway driver? You know what I mean? Like there's some guys that you're like they've really built up this dude's role for the entire thing and then it just doesn't work out. Jared I'm going to skip ahead to the last couple here. Oh Dave H wants an AI platform where Craig could be like I want to watch Zodiac at 97 minutes and AI just cuts it. It's the Craig Coralback AI time management machine. Jared Well this is the thing is that like we need to bring back this movie was edited by Claude Terrestrial Cable where Craig is cutting like epic films to make it so we can watch Nick's Hornets 5 p.m. Ben and I watched almost famous twice in the last week but we watched the bootleg cut the second time which has like 35 minutes of additional scenes and I was telling him this one's not in the movie and then we were deciding after the scene whether they should have kept it in the actual cut or not. Yeah. Had a great time. That's awesome. Yeah there was a couple good scenes where we're like ah so almost famous I would say there's probably three scenes that they could have added so in that case maybe like eight minutes longer. Okay. And I don't think I would cut anything. Robert V wants us to add the Coggins Law Award for best random rule or law in the movie from Cocktail. He points out we had so much fun with the laws in that movie. That was a really fun pod and should we just squeeze him in. Should that be life lesson. I'm going to test drive this one. Sure. Yeah. Maybe it could be life lesson or Coggins Law. I have to reread the Coggins Law. We have life lesson at the end of the yeah. So maybe Coggins Law. Coggins Law on the movie that works. I'm okay with that. Oliver from Melbourne Australia wants the yellow the Al Pacino yellow handkerchief award for the most what the fuck moment in the movie. I'll put that in flex. Yeah. And then kind of a dark email from Eddie from Philly. Uh oh. He was listening to Zodiac and he said there's this huge New Yorker article last year which explored a theory why serial killers basically vanished after the 80s. We talked about this. Why what happened is like DNA and surveillance. Yeah. He said baby boomers of Gen X being exposed to leaded gasoline was the sliding doors moment to power a large portion of Netflix's business is the theory. What does that mean? The smell of gas made people like want to kill people. That's his theory. That was this article. That's that's a lead poisoning created generation of serial killers in the 70s. Do you think Netflix needs serial killers to come back? Netflix is now doctoring the gas to make it more leaded again. Josh Aubrey we're coming to the end here. Just one of the guys. He said the the Joyce Hauser was almost Dr. Melphie Bombshell and then just one of the guys. Oh yeah. Should be used in the future for half-assed internet research as like the hammer. Yeah. He said this to me was the equipment of finding out Judd Nelson was almost Walter White. You know what? Why don't we do this instead of because half-assed internet research we generally cannibalized like at the beginning of the pod anyway. Like people can't help but be like did you know this happened and this happened? But you got to save one hammer. You got to save one for the like the most fascinating piece of half-assed internet research. Yeah. Maybe it'll build. I think that's a better way to do it. Michael Hughes in London wants us to have the Polly from Rocky Word for the character who would host the most terrifying podcast or YouTube channel. That made me think of other podcast YouTube channels like Big Nick and Denny Theves. Yeah. Could we could we do that? Big Nick and Denny Theves would just be like talking LA High School football. For sure. It's like another great season from Polly. Wayne Grow would have an interesting YouTube channel. Wayne Grow would be awful. Andrew points out that the Mark Colton Hayats Enrico Palazzo award for best performance with one line should actually be the Estelle Reiner. I'll have what she's having. Yeah. Nice shout out to Rob Reiner. Yeah. And that's probably a more famous line. Definitely. So I think I think that's a good one. Yeah. Duncan Woodward in Washington. He said as someone who goes on Zillow Constantine to appreciate real estate I will never be able to afford. I often find myself appreciating beautiful homes and movies. We do this with the Amanda Dobbins category. I've researched properties from movies. Find out how much they last sold for. Some examples I researched the Graham family home in Hereditary. Jason Bourne's Paris apartment where we got ambushed. And the house and lethal weapon owned by the South Africans. I would like to propose the Faustat Alacorn mansion award for piece of real estate. You'd want to own the most and then you guys could guess the price. And do that. Faustat. Faustat. If we want to put Faustat in the categories. Ben from Connecticut wanted us to do the Stuart Scott award for line from the movie most likely to be used during a 90s Sports Center highlight. Oh yeah. Like Wolf of Wall Street. I'm not fucking leaving. Yeah. Stu Scott just doing that. All right. Dave P wants to know Cruz or Hanks. If you could pick one Tom Cruise movie to sub Hanks in for the cruise part and vice versa. What are the two movies. And he wants to see Cruz and cast away. Cruz and cast away would be pretty amazing. Yeah. The physicality Cruz would really lean into and do a good job. Him trying to light the fire. It's harder to go the other way. Hanks going into a cruise part. What about Hanks and I's wide shot. I could see that would be weird. That'd be a tough one. I could see Hanks doing because there was like a young sort of a young bad boy era for Hanks when he's doing like punchline. I could see him doing. Bachelor party Hanks. Yeah. Like Rain Man. That's what I was going to say. Rain Man. Being Hanks as Charlie Babbit. Yeah. That's pretty good. Yeah. So Hanks as Charlie Babbit and then. Cruz and cast away. Cruz and cast away. Is there another Hanks movie that would be funny for Cruz. Saving Private Ryan would be hilarious. I think the Cruz and Big would be funny. The worst version of it would be Cruz's Forrest Gump. Because of the running especially. Cruz and Forrest Gump are big. Oh Cruz and Forrest Gump. He's probably furious. We might need to embrace AI just so they can make a version of Forrest Gump with Tom Cruise. Coming on the Craig Horlbeck Network Claude. An 80 minute version of Zodiac and an AI Cruz and cast away. Why can't Craig be the new Claude. He's called Craig. Yeah. It's just his AI thing. You got AI in my name. But it would be good if you could also just be like if sometimes you're like that's a good question. I don't know. I'm busy. I'm watching Zodiac. I'm trying to trim an hour out of Zodiac right now. It's really hard. Jack F. loves the rewatchable mail bags. So he's got to be excited. He's in this one. He has a category idea. The little kitten or boy getting eaten by a shark award for the scene that gets glossed over till the viewer realizes, holy shit, a little boy was eaten by a shark. And he has Dr. Loomis, mistaken Ben Trammer for Michael Myers. All time. And a bunch of others. We just talked about something like this on the To Live and Die in LA one where it's like a guy explodes in the same building that Ronald Reagan is giving a speech at. And then the next scene is like they don't even reference it. I'm going to put that in the flex. There was an assassination attempt on the president. Then they're like, yeah, let's get some beers. Well, we always have to end mail bags either here or in my podcast with the goofiest question possible. This comes from Chris A. Good morning. I did not know there would be a rewatchable mail bag where you'd consider new awards. If there's still a chance, I would like to propose one. The Peter North Award for the performance of an actor that was their most effort-filled one in their career, a performance that they shot their most load in, if you will. Thank you for listening and have a great new year. So it's not best role, it's most effort, trying the hardest. It's like they shot their biggest wad. I got to say it's pretty good. The Peter North Award. It's good. I'm trying to think of like the way you challenge it. It's like Casey Affleck in Manchester by the sea. Yeah, Daniel DeLewis in my left foot. But I would say he's Peter North in every movie. He's peating all the time. Peter North in Lincoln? Yeah, he's Peter North in Lincoln. I feel like Ben Affleck in Chasing Amy was a Peter North movie for him. He really, really went for it. It's really for the movies where the guy really, really goes for it or the actress. It's like going method almost. Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct kind of. Well, no, but it's like- No, but it's like- He's kind of, no. Like Crews and Cocktails, another one, it's almost like they're throwing everything they have into a part that's not even that great. I like that. You know what I mean? Yes. It's like, ah, they had to go full Peter North here. Like Puccino, son of a woman? Right. Or it's really Puccino and two for the money. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know, there's something there with the Peter North. Yeah, it's a try hard award. Yeah, you're pushing too hard. Apparently he has an autobiography coming up. Peter North? Peter North, yeah. Will you be reading it? I googled to see if he was still alive and he is. Yeah. What else did you google? We had a friend of mine in the 90s kind of looked like Peter North and it was a running joke for the entire 90s. A friend like- What piece of real estate- Does Craig know who Peter North is? I don't. I was just kind of hoping nobody would ask. Yeah. Famous 80s, 90s porn actor. Known for his prodigious finishing shots. He left it all on the fields. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. What does that mean? He was getting acrobatic with it. This is one of those things where it was going- Lot of volume. Volume shooter. Oh, it was volume. Yeah, volume shooter. Distance? It's just everything. What's with the follow ups? Can't you just- Wait, so it's like- So it's sperm? Are we talking sperm? That we have to word Peter North to the rewatchables. Yep, this is our podcast. I think my Peter North award was the 21st century 50 most rewatchable movies pod. Yeah. That was my Peter North. So for Bill? Yeah. Yeah. That was you shooting across the room? Yeah. What was for Van? What was Van's rewatchables? I think when Van said that he wanted- He would have slept with the woman from Species. Oh, yeah. And then he could convince her that it's a good idea. And that he's pure. He's like, hey, they hate my people too. Like, yeah. Together we can take over. That was a great one. All right, we're done with the rewatchables bill back. Thanks to everybody who sent questions and they're really good. We'll try to do this every three or four months. See our month, just a banger. Nice guys coming next, yeah. Monday and then LA Confidential to wrap it up. No, nice guys will have already happened by the time people hear this. No, because- Oh, nice guys won't have happened. Living, dying, LA will have been out, yeah. Mailbag. Then nice guys. Nice guys. LA Confidential. LA Confidential. Our first four person rewatchable. And then what are you going to do? Are you going to take some time off? It's up to chief here. You know, he gets to decide. People are like, CR, finally some good movies because CR was in charge. It's like, we've been talking about doing these movies for- What the- Don't give CR too much fun. What's the least CR movie we could do right after CR Month? I can take multitudes. What would you pick? You'd probably do like- You can come and go with rom-coms. Toy Story. Yeah, anything animated you might as well put me on the bench. Cars 3. That's when I go away for three months. We just do all animated and like Harry Potter movies. I'm just gone. Do you like any animated film? Then the feed does better without me and- Fuck you guys. Spotify is like, maybe we can replace Bill. Maybe we don't need him anymore. With Craig AI. Do you like any animated movie? Yeah, I do. It's partially a bit, but I don't actually actively seek them out. I've honestly never really fully understood it. I went through a phase that all people do. You'll go through it soon when you take your kids when they're like- It's really fun to take the kids to the first one when they're like three. And then it's like three to nine. You just start going to them and- Yeah. And uh- So you're not a big Toy Story guy or anything. Incredibles, Finding Nemo, none of that stuff. I'm not. I liked the one sad Toy Story I thought was good. Oh, three. Three's good. When they all about to die in the fire. Yeah, three's a good one. That one's sad. I also thought Lion King was really good. The which one? The- Not the- The 94 one. Yeah, 94 one. Del and John. Oh yeah, it's amazing. Yeah, that was good. The music all those movies are really good. Yeah. Yeah, good date. Like good date movie. Lion King was a good date movie. Oh yeah. Yeah. Cetopia 2 was good. I believe Cetopia 2 was really good. It's really good. Like great. I didn't like when animated movies started to be like way deeper. Like basically they started catering toward the parents and to put stuff in there. So all the jokes and stuff for like later references. Yeah, to put stuff in there to keep the parents. You don't like that. I just think they should be for kids. But what do I know? Maybe they've always been that way. Cetopia 2 has a lot of movie. There's Godfather references in Cetopia 2. It's funny. The ones that I grew up with like weird shit happened. Like what? Like the Ralph Bakshi movies and stuff. Oh, like Bambi. Oh, I mean all those early Disney movies there's a huge tragedy to start the film. In Nemo, the mom gets eaten by a barracuda to start the movie. And up the wife dies. There's always something like that. Well, the one that we get and it's a Mallory favorite. I think it's Hugo. It's the one that foresees the future with AI and all that shit going on in it. Isn't that Scorsese? No, I mean he made a movie called Hugo. I don't... It's not what you're talking about or no? One of those movies and it's big on AI. Mallory's always wanted to do it. I thought it was Hugo. Not Wall-E? No, Wall-E. Oh, Wall-E, sure. Why did I think Hugo? Wall-E is like it's like the Apple Vision Pro is in Wall-E. Wall-E, Wall-E is the one. We're all just like fat robots stuck to our chairs watching screens and ordering. Yeah, I think Wall-E is like an age the best and the worst. It's now that people might be about AI girlfriends. Yeah, Mallory just picked Wall-E on a draft we were on and she was getting emotional about it. I let Mall and Joanna down because they asked me to be on the space draft and I said I don't really like space movies and Mallory was upset. You don't like space movies? They kind of freaked me out. I don't really like outer space. What's the best space movie for you? I've seen all of them at least once. I like when it's Martian. I like when people can come home. But I don't like... Like Gravity. I don't like thinking about what's up there. Gravity is tough. Gravity is really good. I think Alien's my... Alien and Interstellar in 2001. Kind of breaks my brain when I think about it too much. I'd much rather worry about like Shay Gilgis Alexander's palpating and worrying what's going on in Saturn. What's on Earth? Yeah, we're worried about what's here. All right, thanks CR. Thanks, Fred. Thanks, Craig. Thanks to Gahau and Eduardo as well. And we'll be back Monday with... Nice guys. Nice guys. On Monday. All right, cool.
