If not, the greatest episode of the history of the show, 2001 is Space Odyssey, with the

one and only Steven Spielberg and me and Sean, we are now entering officially from hell world. The next three movies we're going to do are going to be, get ready, single-white female. Hand that rocks a cradle in the good sun. And all of those movies are on Netflix so you can watch them.

All right, every green summer mail bag, Craig Coralbacks here are a producer, sometimes on the pod. Chris Ryan. CR. The legend.

I gave you no prep at all, none. We have some listener mail bag questions. Do you like when the no prep happens or you want the prep? If you want us to provide a list, sometimes it's nice, but otherwise, no, we can go. You can improvise it.

This is from Gerard. I want to nominate a new rewatchables category. The Danny McBride Award for best character entrance within a minute. You understand exactly who this guy is? Why he's a problem?

Why the movie went up a level? The criteria, the media, oh hell yeah, for oh no reaction, you cannot look away, you

know everything you need to know about the character.

Instantly alerts you that you may have a who won the movie or Dion Wader's Award, contender on your hands. David Bride has been a category named before. Yeah, here it has a category, but I don't mind this. This is based on his introduction to this is the end, right?

Well, I was thinking, we just did animal house and Bluto the first time you see him as

a good intro. There's really as an art to the entrance. Or you're like, will Ferrell and Wedding Crashers coming down stairs? I would say Alec Baldwin and Glenn Garries and other one. Yeah.

I think there's some some life to this one, the best entrance, but I think we already have them at Brad category so I could either move it or come up with different entrance. Like, what is Mason Miller walk out to? Is it corn? It is corn.

Yeah. Oh, like the Mariner Verra, enter Sandman, like these entrance, some queue enters Sandman, the Closer is here. That's pretty good. I had a couple of ones that I liked from over the years that I just the iconic ones

from my favorite movies, Reggie Hammond, first time you see him for it hours.

He's singing police, Todd Parker and Boogie Nanks. When he comes into the party and I forget what's on there playing with it does like the zooming on him and it's like Todd Parker and then Lester Banks was the other great one for almost famous the first time he's doing Iggy Pop and then really hard to just come in 25, 30 minutes into a movie and just take it over.

When does Lector show up in silence? That's another half an hour and 20 left there, that's a good one.

I think this is a category, it's at least a flex.

This is from Michael and Louisville, love the pod. I'm getting married this fall, my wife asked that we have her childhood priest perform in the ceremony. Imagine my surprise when I found out that this man was none other than father Wayne Jenkins. That's his name, his name is Wayne Jenkins and then he writes in all caps, "Damn, I didn't

know how I was there, it was super priest. We have a huge experience in the joy of the sacment for a long, fucking time, big boy." I didn't know we had fucking Damien Garrett's over here. There's some kind of pre-sword right there. Wayne is like the actual Wayne, I think is up for parole soon, he's in jail, yeah.

Father Wayne Jenkins, is that a good or a bad sign for the wedding?

I think it's great.

They're gonna have a happy marriage, congratulations also.

I hope at least five people attending the wedding are making Wayne Jenkins.

Yeah, if he's creative, does anyone have any reason why these two should not be weddin' there?

Goddamn! I knew we were asking for approval! Oh man, I'm on the fucking break! This is from Pete D. He listens to all the rewatchable pods, thinks there's some trends that have emerged, including, he says, "One of my favorites is the peer-edit discussion

about renaming DM waiters. This comes up a few times a year when a DM candidate has an especially strong performance." Oh, it's like we could renate it. Well, it can involve Baldwin and Glenn Garry, Hartman and so I married an expert, and then

he writes, "The discussion always goes something like this."

Bill. Maybe we should think about renaming the award after character acts. Everyone else. Character acts was great, but I don't think we could rename it. There's something about D.on.

Bill. Okay, I guess we'll keep it as the DM work. Then about three months later, the exact same discussion occurs. In order of this, I suggest a new conditional word called the "We may need to rename the DM waiters award, no never mind."

For an actor who gives such a great performance, the rewatchable steam pretends to reconsider an award, then decides against it. That's good. It's a higher level than the typical DM reserve for only epic DM performances. He keeps going on.

It's like your DM waiters pro-bolar. Yeah, it's like maybe you've been DMed before, like you've done too many, like walking with his DM in multiple films, I think. Sure. He's like that in Toro Mads.

He's like that in Paul. It's like a nomination. Pete says you could call it the DM plus a word in Omash to Kendall Royz in Genius Land Cruises pitch. Yeah, but that was good. The D on plus. I like that. It sounds like we're spinning it off into, uh, I don't

know, I'm checking on D on it. He's somebody who I imagine would have had a podcast by now. Yeah. Where is he?

I don't know. It's Ross's breaking down videos. Like, where's the one? Frank M writes in, "Hey gang, I think Craig gets hottest take by saying you could cut the hitchhiker scene and there's something about Mary, sometimes he needs a shot collar." I checked with HR and we can't give you a shot collar. I also think this is a good opportunity for you to be like, I don't think the Horalbeck scale is representative of you as a film figure. I want to address this. I think we should

retire this the Horalbeck scale because the purpose of the of the category is not to criticize good long movies. It's to celebrate good short movies. Yes. If I like a movie that's two hours and 15 minutes, I don't want to have to like feel four. It's true. It feels like he's been taking shit. Rip a scene at it. It's just like, I think the goal. I think you could, it's to appreciate a short movie. That's just chime in when it's in the Horalbeck Hall of Fame. Sure. Yeah. We forgot to do it for

animal house. Yeah, I mean, it was animal house like an hour or 45. But yeah, it's like, we're doing fun. I'm not going to be like, yeah, you can cut the hearty stuff. Do we need to be flying around? Yeah. Do you want to retire the Horalbeck scale? Hey, it's like if something about Mary's two hours and 10 minutes, but I like the movie, I don't think it's in the spirit of the category for me to feel like I gotta remove a scene. Yeah. However, I do think like seven-minute abs, eight-minute abs,

not the funniest joke in the world. I thought it was fucking hilarious. Really hot takes. Colin K writes in, he's been thinking about apex mountain. Yeah. And he decided most cities have a respective apex mountain that then that becomes the spiritual defining thing they're chasing. Like Chicago just wants it to be the midnight is again so badly. Oh, like temporal apex mountain. So he listed a bunch of cities with what he thinks their apex mountain is. Okay.

San Francisco, he said 2016. Well, it's not 2016. Okay, but like this is lost.

It's been 2017 or 15. Wait, he's talking about tech or is he talking about what it looks like?

This is just, I'm just reading what he said. Okay. I mean, if I can't be reading ran out of the game, it means it's good. But I like the, there's a crumb here where it's like, it's a kernel of saying like, actually apex mountain San Francisco would be late 70s or early 80s, right? So that would of my argument would have been late 70s like post 30 Harry bullet. Yeah, and heading into. It's what's just over there. There's already a kind of goes back to yeah. But I guess you could make a case like as

Steph and the words are taking off with the tech boom and the prices. Yeah. I mean, it might not have been the best like San Francisco itself might not have been at its best. Basic instinct is probably the happy medium between the two. For me, it's 90s San Francisco. We talked about that in

basically. I think that that mid 90s San Francisco is lights out. Yeah. Like I would present that.

Well, you also can't say 2015, because it wasn't even in San Francisco. The worst played at Oracle. Yeah. All right. So he's over one. Boston 2004 actually grew this because it's socks, socks,

Patriots and full bloom.

fucking years finished. The city was transformed. It just all of a sudden. And of course, I had moved

by then. And every time I came back, I was like, how the fuck did we leave, right, before all the

stuff? I think he's done. So Jen can get back and forth from Charleston. Right. They never

were able to escape that North End robbery. He has near city 1998. I don't know how I came up with that one. 98. It's in 9/11. 9/11. Yankee's going strong. Yeah. Next to in the mix. I personally would have gone mid 90s for New York for a variety of reasons with the sports and just Estinels in a decent spot in the late 90s to come back. I mean, I like early 2000s just because of the music because you can't be. I'm not saying it's apex mountain for like actual stuff.

I just mean like that's all I was there. You know. So I would say late 70s for New York. All the shit that was going. But you had Estinels in full bloom. They're making all kinds of awesome movies there. The music scene is taken on. It's a center of the porn industry. Sure. Perfect core wrestling. We haven't we haven't met with our adult entertainment. Yeah. It's just I just feel like even though it was a little scummy and grimy in New York, it was just crushing it. Yeah.

Pre-Trump. Get it. Get a cab. Travis Pickles your driver. Yeah.

Chicago 96. I've no notes on that. That makes sense. It would be somewhere in the second Jordan.

I spent some time there in 98. Everybody was super happy. Seattle 1993. He says I like it. Getting in the grunge. Sean Camp. Sonics are still there. Campbell Scott designing a super train. Ken Griffey's about to show up early tech rumblings. Yeah. I'll say Filly for last. He is Pittsburgh is 1975. Just just pro steward. Sure. The too much interesting ones. He had Los Angeles 1955. Isn't that like LA confidential? Yeah. I thought that was I don't know

why he had that. I would have said mid 80s for LA like with Hollywood. Yeah. He's going to say like LAgers. People moving here. Yeah. It was like the coolest place in it. And then he has 1983 for Filly. Well, that's sixers. Filly's go to the world series. Rocky Bobboa. Right. The fillets have just won. Well, they won an 80 but they lost the orals in 83. But you're in the middle of your fillets run. Yeah. Eagles run the surprise. Then it's after brought you boys, isn't it? Yeah. Sure.

I mean, three is out. Big five basketball popping off. Yeah. I was in kindergarten. So I don't like have a picture perfect. 83, sing good. I had a couple ads. Hartford, 1988. Yes, he answered. They're starting to take off and they still have the whale. The whale is my god. And then

I was trying to think that apex mountain for Vegas. And I think it's late 90s. Yeah. That's always

for the game commercialized. When it was still, there was a little bit underground. I would love to be there like the mo green era that would have been good. Yeah. Stanger cocktail, which was to have no green. I'm excited for feedback on that. And then together we have to ask what like so he says it's like he actually just like where people because the reason it really can be easy year to live in the city. What year would it be? I would love to live in

Milwaukee during like the Robin Yout era. Not the Domer era. No. No. But it seemed like pony bottles of Miller were everywhere. You know, because Boston definitely it was 2004. That was the single year you would have won or live in Boston. Chris Harrington wants to know is there a movie you haven't done yet for rewatchables because it's so unpc you worry about backlash and who would you want as co-host on that pot? So really soul man is apex mountain for this one. But I'm not against doing

it. Blazing saddles would be I think really hard to do. I don't know. I mean, I blazing houses

on turn across movies last night. Like it's it's still I think regarded very well. What about revenge of the nerds? That was the other one I had. But I would do all three of those. So I don't I don't feel like there isn't on PC. You'd have to go into like I mean like it's incredibly difficult to talk about Woody Allen's filmography and not address like the elephant in the room with him and and I think a lot of those movies like are hard to talk about but I still really love

any haul like I love to do any haul. There's a couple like the couple dark movies that probably

aren't rewatchables but like that Monica Bluechi movie and shit like that we never do. Well we were

never do. We were in for a dream. Most rewatchable. This is a great one. Michael wrote this. My 72nd rewatch of Fargo gave me an idea. Do Peter Stormar's film TV characters have the weirdest resume of any actor in history? These are some of the things his characters have done.

Murdered Steve Buschemi with an accent stuffed in a wood shopper eaten by a d...

bitten off by John Goodman. Hope Bruce will save the world from an asteroid. Swapped out Tom Cruz's eyeballs directed multiple actual stuff films and helped George Costanza move the

Frogger without losing his high score. Can any actor challenge this? We don't have that anymore you know?

No one's doing stuff like that. Honestly incredible incredible incredible. That's even without the

stuff film. It's still he still probably has the best one. I'm going to start thinking about this when we do like especially 90s movies where I'm like you know like this guy's been in 13 like what were his jobs. Right. Yeah. So I want to find out like what Cole Meaney did besides being connier you know. That's a good one. I had Madson sliced off the ear and reservoir dogs at the cop. He buried the bradula alive in Kilbel. He unleashed a black mama snake in Kilbel too.

He killed the horny hot female alien in species and he beat up people with a baseball bat in Brasco. Pretty good resume. Yeah. Not even close to Stormar. Kind of one note though. Stormar's really riding all over the place. Stormar's replacing eyeballs. He's directing stuff films. Yeah. He's woodchippering

people to death. Because it's like the not quite leading man but can be in every kind of movie as a

side character. Yeah. And it's got to be something creative. Like Cruz is just the best in everything he does. Like best bartender, best pilot, best spy. That was pretty good. David Foster probably not the songwriter. Right. And given the rewatchables often features movies frequently aired on TV back in the day. I'd like to suggest the new Flex category entitled The Breakfast Club Real Long Inspection Award. Alternatively, the Die Hard to Yippie Ka Mr. Falcon Award. Alternatively,

the Big Lebowski find a stranger in the opposite word for this movie have an epic profanity replacement when aired on TV. So real long inspection was actually hot beef injection. Yippie Ka Mr. Falcon, you know that one. And then find a stranger in the opposite word. Cafe in his best form with the new Cuba One Capsule Machine von Chiebeau. In every Cuba Capsule Steckspitzen Cafe, especially in Anbargabieten. For espresso, cafe creamer

or cafe crannel of Knopfdruck. The new Cuba One überzeugt with premium design, compact price and small price at 920 Euro. Thanks to innovative press brew technology, every tassel, especially the aromatic creamer. And there is now the Cuba Capsule Machine in Diner Chiebeau Fiale and of Chiebeau D.E. We need to talk about it. But we need to talk a little bit about all sorts of things for your lips. On the contrary, Katze or Pherd, with the Tierkranking

and Versicherung from the Bayerischen, become Dain Tier the Best Versorgung. Oh, no, when and are but. Now online abschließen and 15 Euro Amazon Gutschein sichern. VWV.de. This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass there. My favorite for this of all time was freak the freaking Diaz brother's star face. Scarface on TNT was incredible. So there's 250 swears that are something. And it's also like mountains of cocaine. Did they actually show him

doing it on the TV? I don't know if you have a favorite. Well, I just say this is a dying art. You know, like there's not a lot of teeth. There's not a lot of like basic cable movie

that show things that are actually recently at all. It's always like no. My memory,

this is actually like just like listening to the radio in my car. And that's like bleep out M&M. Oh, like all of 50 cents. Yeah. Right. Robert Calvin writes in after listening to the

Trappic Thunder episode. I think there should be an occasional category called the Joel Anderson.

I prefer welcome home. Roscoe Jenkins Award for is this movie still over. Well, that was amazing. Joel wrote it up to us. He said he loved Trappic Thunder. And then he turned out he didn't. There's also the joy of having that energy in the pod where I think the three of us all like just sort of received the platform to do. Yeah. We gave up Kyle Potter. Craig, you're going to love this one. New Flex category. The Michael Sarah of fucking pale 110 pounds hairless probably as a huge

cock, cooked out of his mind award for excellence in portraying a fictionalized version of one.

So yeah. So it's basically like a self-dion waiters. Yeah. He votes for Keanu Reeves and always be my

maybe John McVidget B. John McVidget and Neil Patrick Harris and Harold and Kumar. That's great. And then said it could be extended to fictionalized portrayals of other sites in affairs willing to subvert their reputation in movies. So he suggested Anna Ferris taking down Cameron Diaz and Austin Transation could be adjacent. Okay. Would anyone with that all send yourself? Do you like the wonder of Julia Roberts in Oceans 12. I totally agree with Julia Roberts actually counts.

Let's like Bob Sagitt and on to rush pretending to be like the biggest asshole.

cream and airplane M&M and funny people as a good one. I thought everybody loved Raymond. Bob Barker and happy Gilmore, Lance Armstrong Dodgeball, Julie Roberts, Malcolm bitch and then Johnny Chan and rounders is a good one. Parker. Yeah. Yeah. Good one. Sorry,

John. I don't remember. I think that could be added to the Flex though. I like it.

110 pounds. So what probably as a huge call, Sean Donnelly writes, you guys were talking about making a dramatic version of there's something about Mary. They're kind of already is one. The 1984 new and war film against all odds. In it LA Atlas, Wider Saver Jeff Bridges, gangster James Woods and outlaws coach Alex Carris are all obsessed with the stunning Rachel Ward and drop everything into travel to Mexico to win her. Does she say LA Outlaw,

wide receiver? Yeah. Oh Craig, this movie is amazing. Well, this is also where the full Colin song comes right? Oh yeah. Which one? This has one of the great cars we can see now. Right. Bridges plays like a washed up receiver. But yeah, these three people against all odds. It's a song for you. He says it's it's a sports film. But I feel like the fairly brothers were aware of it. That's pretty interesting. It does get a little

there's something about Mary. Yeah. They're all like obsessed with her. Yeah. I hadn't even thought about that movie in a long time. It's great. It's a good. It was on a long time. It's not good.

I mean, I may never have actually seen the movie. It's just that in the music video for

against all odds. It's just footage from the movie and it's the whole story of film. Rachel Ward. There's a good car chase in that movie, right? Really good car chase. Rachel Ward's throwing

102. I don't know Rachel Ward. What is Rachel Ward from? You should get to know her Craig.

Is that Taylor Hackford? Yeah. Okay. Mike from Mr. Mass said at the end of Dave. Yeah. I'm ready to do the read Dave. Okay. I really love that movie. When did you do Dave? And long time ago. Yeah. Yeah. Years ago. He says at the end, Wack, this is inside for people of this movie. But how is Dwayne? The big rames character? Not wearing a sweater vest in the last shot. Because there's a kitchen scene in the White House

when Dave and Bing rames are kind of they're talking their reading and sandwich. And he says, "Where's sweater vest? They look good on you." And Bing rames like, "Really?" And he was like, "You could have brought that around." So he says that's a new category. The Dwayne Stevenson sweater vest, missed opportunity award for a very small choice that would have made the movie better. I'm going to veto this, but I like the spirit of it. You like why you beat it just because you're

like that? I just think it would be too hard. They had to figure out. But I like the idea of it. It would really would have been a bad idea if it was like loose threads. It's like you shouldn't tie to knot on that one. Blair Simes from Chicago says, "The rewatchemows is my favorite pot

and the species episode is one of the best all-timeers." What about the species hoard?

For the thing, no one notices or questions during the first few viewings, but then you see it and

can't unsee it. So he says for him, it goes to the supposed evil alien plot to take over the world by breeding aliens with humans. How's this supposed to work? He says, "The tachyentridge is half alien, but it could be quarterly and then it'd be eighth alien and so on." Eventually human DNA is going to water down the alien DNA and you won't notice it. Humans down the road will just end up being 3% alien on their 23 and meat tests, like their 3% Irish. Plus didn't those aliens

send us to secret to unlimited energy as well as their DNA. They were good dudes. So decent point. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if the DNA would be strong enough that it wouldn't get watered down. You know? Well, there was also the hensterage is going around killing guys who are diabetic.

You know, it's like you basically like winnow down the like, like most most human beings have

some frailty, some flaw with them so that you're just talking about her breeding with like six guys after a while. I like the idea. I was trying to think of other examples where when you've seen a movie too many times and then you realize a plot has just been completely ruined. Which basically is what's aged the worst. They're picking it for us, but that's a good one. It was the bad plan by the alien. Yeah. It's like there's there should be a special like especially for ones that are like

big movies for us, like the thing I noticed on the 12th viewing of this movie. You know, when it's like, why can't the aliens just come down to Earth in their natural form and just kill all the humans? Yeah. That's a bit of another move. What? Right. Right. Why do they need to look like a human and seduce a human? It's like, couldn't they just kill them? Yeah. Sounds like lamps is a good one for this when they just have left there at the top floor with like one security guard.

And they don't have any important shot lamps. Yeah. It's just, and he asked for a second dinner and like, boy, that's weird. Like you see that enough times. What's the one we have for heat for this? I mean, there's a lot of things in heat where it's like, does this guy who's so disciplined

Really go back for wind grow?

Mike Kaiser says that we missed a huge plot point in no way out. I'm glad people are listening

to the library. Well, I really like no way out. I'd like to suggest you guys brand the did this

movie need a better end in category and make it the Tom Ferrell single-handly lost the Cold War War. Oh yeah, which cost her when when Gene Hackman's character said, I'll give you anything you want. Why not just be like, oh, I controlled the defense secretary now. I own Gene Hackman. And then that could be the sequel and he just felt like he blew the opportunity. I'm going to keep an eye on this. I know if it's a category, but I do like like, yeah, he actually

would have been better off just being like, oh, this is actually a better one now. I love to run this controlling it. Yeah. The sequel one way out. Jason Peters says, uh, this is a great one. Not Philadelphia Eagles tackle legend. No. Spinoff character. You would green light for a new movie award. A character so interesting. You'd watch a whole movie based on them. And he mentioned

his Baldwin and Glenn Gary, um, but he came up with this because the Tom Cruise and Tropic Thunder

could let Grossman have carried a movie. I say no. That's kind of, yeah, that'd be tough for an hour and a half. I didn't have a couple possibilities for this though. Digimon the departed. That was that could have been out for a while. I could have been definitely been a sequel. Which one is one of your characters? Oh, sure. Quint prequel we talked about when we did Joss, um, could have gone back maybe even gone back all the way to World War II there. My two favorites, Dino. I storm our second

reference. Dino velvet. Eight no matter. Eight no matter prequel as he dives into the world of

stuff films. Yeah. But then obviously the answer is Caruso and proof of life. We called stuff

legends. Stuff legends, the proof of life. See, do you know on another case? Pro's not in it. Maybe as a cameo. Maybe just calls in. But yeah, Caruso is doing his second. I saw a randomly saw like a Russell Crow press conference or podcast where he was taught proof of life came up and he was like, "My girlfriend, it's time, Meg Ryan." And I was like, "Yeah." Wow. He admitted that. Yeah. Oh my god. That was on front street where he knew that was happening. But as she was married, they were like,

interesting. Abigail wants us to have a new category. Would this movie be better with Buffalo Bill or Little Bill? Couldn't quite get there, but they'd think about it. I like it. It's like Little Bill. Do you have a little Bill impression ready to go? They go Little Bill. I'm trying to think which one to do. I'm sorry, my mind is on. What does he say? Sorry, my mind is on the projection of the film. Derek Lady, we talked about worst movie athletes and he was

outraged that we forgot about Matt Damon and Legend of Bagger Vance. Which Damon's talked about. He had to speed learn how to play golf in like two weeks and his swing is like really, really bad. But then we got a bigger email for Mike Montrey. In 1998, I was an extra in the movie for Love at the Game. We got $50 a day. It was November and the Bronx was cold. Sam Ramey obviously wanted jackets off to display late summer baseball. Bronx natives grew tired of their crests.

Look closely, winter jackets are in the background. Nights grew long and cold. Extra's grew impatient. In John C. Rally couldn't catch her throw. Couldn't throw the ball back to the pitcher at all. Costum was dealing. Rally was fucking uptakes left and right. The extras had enough. It was cold. The jeers began escalated into you fucking suck, Rally. Rally had enough flipped out, screaming at the extras. Let me do my fucking job. He couldn't do the job. The next day

is lighting double replace them in all catching scenes. Jesus. I was like, how is that not your winner for worst actor as an athlete? I would love to know which actor who had to play sports in a movie required the most training to actually be, you know, somewhat believable on screen.

One of my favorites for this is Rob Lo did know how to skate before young bud. Really?

They did this five week speed session with them and then he actually got like that would be a great documentary. I would love to watch like Kevin Costner just has to go on a handy project before 10 cubs just to learn how to play golf. I'm trying to think of what would be the thing. What would be the athletic act that you feel like you could immediately go do and like plausibly do it on film right now? I mean, I think golf is easy because

he doesn't require any physical. You're swing always looks 20% more awkward and bad than you think

it does. Yeah. Because in your mind you're like, I'm kept and like, and then you look at a video

Of yourself and you're like, I'm playing left-handed.

on a movie, believably. I was going to say I think I could do Riley's job. I mean, I would be hard for me to get down in a squat for catching now, but I felt pretty natural being behind the

plate. I was a picture growing up. I think I could get away with it. You have to be pretty

uncoordinated to not be able to just catch Kevin Costner for three years. Yes. What about you? You don't think you could conduct an offense in like white man can't jump to one two. You would be basketball's hard. Basketball's hard because people if especially if you play your shots are shot. So I just had a little bit of an orthodox shot that would make it look like I didn't play, but I did play. Yeah. So it's almost like you're better off learning from scratch.

But Snipes is a good example of they he was a good athlete that they taught to play basketball,

you know, to mix results. I was never a huge fan. I think the toughest would be for me it would be

tennis because I played tennis forever, but my serves weird. So it looked like I've never played tennis before. So I'm just trying to get a lighting that would play your serves. Yeah. Yeah, I never like bring it back. I would love to see the training that went into filming challenges.

Yes. I think an underrated one for this is a track and field movie because you have to see

yourself running. Well, but to be like if you're Steve Prefontaine, you have to have like basically no part of your body is moving as you're running, but it's it has to seem like you're going fast, which I think is really hard to do. If they keep doing like weird life stunt things on Netflix, they should have crud up race lead-o now to see who was the fastest pre-funded dress that's with pre-photane wigs. This is a great one. It's from Charles. How do you uncover brand sleep at night?

Knowing you failed to choose the storm-family portrait as the piece of memorabilia you'd keep from hard to kill on 1990. It's seen early in the movie right before Felicia Storm is brutally murdered during foreput at Mason and before their son Sonny escapes. See a touch as pennants please do an episode and under the ground. So he sent a picture. And this is the film photo. I didn't notice it. I apologize. I know Kyle apologizes as well. This is amazing. I can't believe they did this.

I'll tell you what you guys should do. By the way, that's Sharon Stone, I think. To make up for this,

you should get those made into T-shirts and where then the next time you and Kyle record.

I feel like Kyle is crazy enough and there's no football right now that he's going to show up on a rewatchable with the storm-family portrait on there. But he should do it for like a really serious movie for like dear honor. I'm wearing the storm-family. Thomas Levy says, "How is this for a CR? Things Luke Wilson could have been Harrison Ford. How does take? Buckle up CR.

Are we sure Daniel Day Lewis is in the acting version of James Harden? Come on. He's never appeared

in a best picture film. He has zero appearances on any film listed in the F.I. Top Hunter. I mean, didn't Lincoln win best picture? Yeah. No, but he didn't. It did not. He's never been in a family. That's actually the wrong way to criticize Daniel Day Lewis. Because, yes, like, first of all, he's like unquestionably the best actor of his generation. I'm saying, Daniel Day Lewis fucked up by never being like the bad guy in Conair. Like, Daniel Day Lewis should have done

one bad action movie where he's like Hans Gruber. That would have just been amazing. Or, or done his version of, like, their insides of lamps. Yes. Like did Daniel Day Lewis need his training day? Is there another podcast that would compare Daniel Day Lewis to James Harden? No. I'm just sure that should have Dale Day Lewis today. It was like so different. I love training day. I'm going to just remake it, but I'm alone. So.

I love taking. I like to leave me some day. Do you like more than what? What basketball players

they know, they Lewis? It's a tough one. It's somebody who won MVP's, but was never on a thing.

I'm going to transform themselves. Yeah, because it's, in some ways, it's like the only thing you do is win rings. So is it Robert Orie? You know, Mike Trout? No, just multiple MVP's, but never never won the world series. I'm just saying by that by the logic of this question of, like, you would be the best movie of a year. Steve Nash is good. Steve Nash is good. Yeah. Steve Nash is good. Two mid 2000s and sons offense. Or it's somebody who's like a chameleon as a career change. I don't know.

John Craig Hall said he just caught up to the live and die in LA episode says, uh, you talked about whether prison phones during visits are tapped and recorded. He said the answer is yes. I know this because my wife had an internship with a prosecutors office during law school and was signed to listen to some of them. They monitored her just to case the prisoners are dumb enough to discuss things.

They did, which they do.

Because one of the prisoners told his visitor, oh, man, that's H and L. H and L. Man,

whole another level as in something is really escalated. So they always say H and L because of these

prison things that they heard. Okay. So apparently they do record them. Yeah, it makes sense. I figured they did. I didn't know if they recorded LA County jail in 1985 or whatever. But yes, this is a great one from Justin in Los Angeles. What about the Sharon Stone fuck of the century? What for excellence and craft? As Michael Douglas tells us a basic instinct, Katherine Schermell is an other worldly leg, not an all star or an MBA level, a singular sport defining level talent. So what other

deeply skilled movie characters are eligible? He suggests Danny Ocean as a generational thief and machine as a world class say this. That's about eight millimeter references. I really like Vincent Loria as a nine ball and stalker player in color of money. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

But what else do we have? I think it almost has to be more obscure, right?

So this is like somebody who is overly competent at their specific job. Is this like Kytel? Yeah, like a full cure a bit like level of like what they're good at. Kytel and Paul. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, the wolf. That's good. Yeah. That's good. I like that. I'm going to keep an eye on this one. Sunny K from Vancouver says longtime fan been rewatching my advice on streaming us too. Why didn't the actor who played Tubbs become a bigger star or do anything after

advice? Good looking guy. Not quite as charismatic as Don Johnson, but held his own in multiple episodes. What held him back? You probably know better than I would. What happened to full

my father? I never understood. He liked music more too, right? I thought he was total package.

I can't. I'm funny. I thought he was the fuck in the center. Action star. I don't really have an answer for this one. Maybe as an asshole. We've both been rewatching season one though. Yeah, I was thinking about. Do we do give give the rewatchable's audience a season one

starter kit for episodes? Which I think is the two part opening. I sadly I can do this up top

by the two part opening. Cateron's revenge, which we already did on rewatch. Great McCarthy, definitely. Glades. I don't love Glades. You like Glades more than I do, but Glades does have people we've talked about on this pod. The Golden Triangle episode is amazing. The Bruce Willis as a domestic violence arms do. Oh my god, could not recommend that episode more highly. Evan, which is no longer available on streaming because they end the show with Beco by Peter Gabriel,

rest of. Must have canceled that one. There's a great one. The last couple. There's one when Crockett falls in love and it starts affecting his job and the pubs get beaten up. And then I just watched Lombard recently. The last episode of season one and it's Dennis Farina playing the Midnight Run. Get the guy sitting. Have a cream soda. Do some fucking thing. Basically playing this wise cracking gangster. I texted CR about this already. During the episode, they play the

entire song of Wire by U2, which is probably the single best U2 song of the 80s. And they're just cranking U2 during this chasing. I'm like, this is the most 1985 moment of my life. Did you say Nocron? Nocron's another good one. And Smokler's Blues. And Smokler's Blues. Yes, so that would be the starter kit. We might have to force Craig to watch out this this summer. You like all these 80s things though. I do. I love the 80s. I also, part of darkness, we're Susie Amis plays a young

porn star in Miami and they break up on underground porn ring. Oh, that's that's one of the early ones. Yeah. Everything leads to the third episode. That's before almost. And then the third episode of season two, which is ends with the Dyer Street song. It's the best one. I think probably it should start growing my hair out. Should I do, should I give one shot at it to do it? Use it before you lose it, man. That's my attitude. I've thought about it. But there's such an awkward

middle period. I feel like before it starts to look good that you have to think about it. I don't know.

I think Shalame is paid for the way for the Mullet again, too. Yeah, but, you know, I'm not telling me the Shalame. Steve, W, wants us to basically do an on-screen smoking hall, fam, is a special episode. That's good. And wants us to have a mail bag episode, a best actor, best actress for the Swift girls. Most passionate at worst on-screen cigarette that felt the best best film cigarette, just do like 10 categories and go. You guys would know this better than us. I figured I could

help you with this. I don't even know. I've never approached us. Yeah, it's a kind of really,

can we, like, why of all the things that advertise on podcasts, like, would it be weird if we were, like, look, I wouldn't do it now, but I used to do it then. We're not going to do it. We're appreciating it. He wants, uh, he said, he's a problem. Go on. He's a hundred more. He recommends CR look up on

YouTube, the compilation of match strikes from the long goodbye.

Jordan of strike. And he was, it would, if we did this, you guys would have to smoke cigarettes during the taping. I mean, fine. You said you did or didn't have one in 2026. I had one. Yeah, I've only had one. I won two weekends ago. We're recording this before Memorial Day weekend in

very strong possibility this weekend. This is an amazing one from James McAurey. Probably not

the same James McAurey. The Sasha Jenkins award gets me every time. That's for the award where we can't figure out why the actor didn't become a bigger star. And we've been doing this what for four years. Today is yeah. His name is actually Sasha Jensen. You guys getting it wrong for so long, really hits the point because he should have been bigger than he was. We've been saying the wrong

name, the entire time. Yeah. I think we keep it. I think it's funnier that it's the Sasha Jenkins,

or maybe called the Sasha Jenkins Jensen award. I don't know. Do you think Sasha Jensen is just like God damn it, guys. How do you, can you get my fucking name right? Yeah, so this whole time we've had the wrong name. Adam from Westport says thank you for so prominently featuring Chris Ponytail in the kindergarten cop episode. I saw it when I was six. I spent the remainder of my childhood completely terrified of any man with a Ponytail. Do you think kindergarten cop was direct or responsible

for the sharp drop and popular long hair for men in the 1990s? I'm not going to say no because it crunched. Like long hair actually became a thing. But I do think Ponytail's went away in the 90s and that might have been a reason. I also remember the Ponytail from the guy I'm in good will hunting being like you don't you don't want to Ponytail. Yeah. So go all Ponytail for a long time, right? Sure. He also made a help kill it. Yeah. Because people hate to go. Avie from Staten Island says

I've known how to stake raw very well aware of Bill's correct views on the K diet and keep character in the Godfather. Avie from from Staten Island wrote that home. Just read a little

from ever make up a mail bag. Well, the the argument was always dying King grade actress K Adams,

bad character. Poor the ridden. Okay. I stand by it for the rest of my life. K Adams was. I just want to say that. I mean, K Adams. K Adams Carolian. Oh, that's I did not know that. That's we've

talked about this. That's where K Adams, I think, got her name because her names aren't actually

K Adams. The sports. I mean, she's known herself after Michael for Leone's wife. K Adams isn't her real name. And you think she watched the Godfather? I don't know. Maybe she like K. I didn't know any of this. Yeah. Holy shit. So Avie says, I'd like to take. I'd like to go one step further and suggest Michael should have had cake killed for boarding his son. Michael had his own brother killed for being stupid and putting his family's life in danger. No, no, no, sorry. K, who in his own

eyes actually murdered his own son should have at least been sentenced to what happened to Frado. That takes too hot. Pretty retro great. Yeah, I just actually know that he kills Frado, but with the with the mom of his kids, that was like a bridge too far for him. Yeah. Frado betrayed the family. Frado was so weak. She did. Look at the last stage names. I just can't I'm like, dang, what's your names have been? You could have start when you

became my Michael Corleon. Yeah. Craig Corleon. Yeah. Well, that place could have been Craig Beck. Yeah. Just kind of the horror. Yeah. Yeah. No, the horror is not great. I like the horror works for you now, though. Yeah. I guess for those who can pronounce it. Matt Larkin. Another Dean waiters question. He thinks the all-time Dean waiters performance is outbound when I'm going Gary. Think about it with no warning, breezes in part way through the movie for a single scene

who oversaw his lines in epic monologue. Absolutely cooks and dresses down a room of legends. Yeah. It's a pinch-hit grand slam. Shits all over Jack Lemon. It's pretty good. The one scene Dean waiters is like a special cat. It's also like that one is specifically man-it-writing it for Baldwin is pretty nuts. Yeah. Baldwin's whole career is kind of Dean waiters. Everything he's in. He's I mean, 30 Rock. He's amazing. And I feel like it hasn't

really lived on in a way that other huge shows people decided they didn't like outbound. No, 30 Rock. You think goes. I think people have turned that outbound. He's amazing in 30 Rock. I think it's like an all-time character. If he if he does the Gene Hackland and just leaves in 2012 when we

never see him again, we're talking about him reverend. Yeah. He's nowhere. I mean, I think that

there are other reasons where people turn on our album. That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

Hans says thanks for all the laughs. Huge fan of the show has a new idea for a flex category. It's the Sharon Stone going going gone award. The point in a movie where it actually goes from something you believe could happen to suspending all belief and then just sit back and enjoy in the ride. An example, die hard when John McLean jumps off the exploiting route for the fire hose.

Yes, loosely tied to his midsection.

him. So this is a variation on the Dan. Dan Campbell award then. Oh, the tank showing up in animal.

I think this is more so the reason he came up with this, not her Sharon Stone because she was on

my podcast once and told me in her interview that she hit a home run in Dodger Stadium to his credit, build it and press her. He just sat back and enjoyed the fact he was interviewing Sharon fucking stone. She did see the member saying that. Now I'd after I get the email I did. I didn't challenge it. You didn't challenge her when she was like, I hit a home run at a major league baseball state. Apparently not. I guess I wouldn't either. No, that's smart play.

But I'd like to eat the Sharon Stone going. Go on. That would be great if you were like, was it the swing of the century? Pat S wants us to do the Robert Duval Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore surf session award for the character loves their hobby so much. They do it in the most unusual circumstances possible and he suggests the lead bad guy and die hard to doing naked Tai Chi and then Finch practicing putting in American pie and Apollo Creed's coach playing chess

and we're a roller girl keeping a roller skates on. I don't know. I appreciate the, uh, the theory. All right, a couple more here quick. Travis. This is really good. Vincent Hannah brings Portman's character, the drops are off in a gurney and just starts ordering everyone around. I need a trauma surgeon, a basketball surgeon. Just cut the main order around. Why did nobody

tell him to shut the fuck up and get to the waiting room? Like what happens to everybody else?

Because he's a cop. Okay. Luke Skywalker attends the pre-flight meeting before the Death Star one. Then starts talking about the size of rats in the home planet. Why did nobody turn around and ask him? Excuse me, who the fuck are you? Yeah. That's a couple of lions. There is something here. Yeah. So Vincent Hannah walking into a new year room of irrational confidence. I don't know. Uh, last email from Jeff Kay from New Jersey. Love the pod.

I've listened to just about every upset since the beginning of my buddy and I came to see you do the Creed live show in Philly. Yesterday I attended my daughter's elementary school production of Charlotte's web. It was as boring as you could imagine. My daughter is small part. My mind began to wander. After a few minutes I began thinking about what we watchable awards I would give to the kids in the play. Oh shit. And who won the movie to different kids?

And it got me thinking have you ever replied, replied, rewatchable scattergors to other aspects of your life? Like when I gave the D.N. Waters award to one of the kids. We're glad this. Thanks for helping me get through it. It is interesting the concept of just applying the rewatchables to other parts of your life like at a party. Like you just went to a wedding and hyphids. Yeah, right. Who won the D.N. Waters award at hyphids is wedding. There was a guy who hit like this

really awesome dance right as jump around came on. Really? And I'll never forget it. What was

hyphids and playlists like mostly classics or more new stuff for what was it? It was a DJ who did a lot of blending. So you could go from Abba to jump around to shout. It was all over. It was good. Who was the champion of the shout dancing at his wedding? Anybody we would know? Nobody you would know. But hyphids is a good job. Hyphids has like water people around the wedding where every like half hour he has people come and bring him water just to check in and make sure he

stay and he stay in level. He had hydration experts. Yes. He has hydration assistance that are always

like it's been a half an hour. I'm going to make sure hyphids has a water. Wow, that's really smart. My wife and I recently were going through all the trips we had done since we had moved to LA. And I realized I was doing what's aged the best, what's aged the worst with them. You know, like for I was just like actually that like that experience was great or that restaurant was great or it was amazing when the cat sat next to us in Croatia. But then like that was actually

Dubrovnik sucked or whatever. Like it was fun. Do you wish you would keep more notes of things that happened to you when over the years so you could remember the details better? Yeah, you know, journaling essentially. I tried I tried it every once in a while and I find that like my journal entries are just too boring. They're just like went to work did a podcast came home, watched a movie, like, you know, it's just it's just not like when you read journals of people who are like fighting

in this Spanish Civil War. You can do the rewatchables categories for the first 10 years of the

ringer. Who's the deon way? That's interesting. We are heading up on the way. It's probably just was a June 1st. We just passed. Was heaven a Wes? Hmm. My biggest memory of the first actual day of the ringer is did Mallory Break Sean shoulder or vice versa. Somebody Mallory Huggs down and knocked her shoulder out of so I think someone hugged Mallon. She like cracked a rib or like something

With her shoulder or a rib.

and cracked her own rib. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That was at a big bar. So right in the first day of the ringer.

Yeah. Yeah. That was good. The other thing I remember. I think Mohamed Ali died. Oh yeah. The other thing I remember maybe is the next year. We're at a fourth of July thing and there was somebody got traded or fridge here. Something and we all had to start working at the July fourth thing. There was a life like the biggest news bomb in ringer history. The carrier of the ring trade. I think well the first when I have like a clear clear

memory of is Prince Bowie and Mohamed Ali all dying like kind of in a cluster around each other.

But I could be getting that wrong. Well, but I remember that being like I think Mohamed Ali

news broke at like midnight. I thought it was the carrier of being it's not that we were actually

prepared to answer. We were all together and then the carrier of the trade happened and we just like

a month after the ringer started to rant sign with the warriors. I think July 20th 26th July 2016. Yep. That was a big one. The the Anthony Davis. That happened on of was it the coi thing happened on a Friday night. Remember a way that was the earthquake and it was the same day as the earthquake. Yeah, that was a good one. Even I look up was a Saturday night, I think or Friday night. Yeah, I was at long legs. Yeah. God out. That was like, is that true? You had to phone

off? I was just in the movie theater and when I walked out, it was like loopy got trade. No, wait, long legs is when Trump got shot. Long on. Luca, Luca was I can't remember what happened. Why I was in a movie. It was like January February. I was seeing the movie companion and when I

came out, Luca had been traded. Yeah. When we started the ringer, I don't think the paths had

won the Super Bowl that year, but it was still the Patriots were in control of football. The warriors were winning 73, but then lost the finals to the 26th. 2016 is one of the craziest years in sports. The club. The clubs had the world series that they were. The 18 and in game or whatever. The two biggest musicians we had were Dell and Kanye. The summer that TV summer was drones, but I also think stranger things premiered. That's a bunch of things premiered. It was the

20, it was the 23 comeback was 2016 season. I think it was 2017 when they Super Bowl was played, but that was the 2016 season. Honestly, we want somebody Super Bowl. Yeah, I can't remember the years. You and C. Villanova was an national champion. That year with like the back-to-back buzzer meter. Oh, the J. Wright. What do you say, Bang? Or do you say anything? He just he just walked it off. Yeah. And then Sal and I lost our parlay of Hillary Clinton when the presidency with the

paths to win the AFC. Well, I remember that. Huge bet. The paths in late October had like a six-game

lead. Well, we're Hillary's odds. Hillary even two days before we could have hedged with Trump at plus 500, and we decided not to and ride it out. That was a tough loss. But, and then we lost on the Warriors, which was the other one, 2016. We had them. We could have hedged after game four. Trayama got suspended. Really was like, it was a crazy year. That was 73 three game season, right? Yeah. Yeah. Unfortunately. That's one of the craziest years of my lifetime, just in general,

just things happening. And I don't vote unless you're an investor. One. Oh, shit. It was an craziest year of the 20th century in sports. Also, I had a show that was on HBO every week and they got canceled. That happened in 2016. And you, that's when you like couldn't see for three weeks, remember? You're contacting? Was it was longer than that? Yeah. Do you know that story? No. I couldn't, I couldn't see. And I thought it was stress from the ringer and my HBO show.

Like everything was blurry. Like we would have the tell prompter and I couldn't see it. And I was like, and I was getting these huge headaches. And I thought I had like a brain tumor. But I actually did have skincare, which was a separate thing that I had to remove from my forehead. But I couldn't see it and turned out when you hit your mid 40s. Your eyesight can shift sometimes. If you have bad eyesight and get better. Yeah. Oh, whoa. So my contacts, which were like minus 11's. My prescription

went down on like minus nine and a half improves. Yeah. That's crazy. So I was constantly like doing

this. And I couldn't, I couldn't see and focus. And I was like, I'm fucking dying. Would it?

And that happened to me as I'm trying to do the ringer and the HBO show. And I thought I was having like a mental breakdown. Wow. And it was just my contacts were too strong. So look cautionary tale out there for everybody. Just get your eye checked. Yeah. If you have an HBO show, make sure your eyes are checked. Well, I went to the doctor and he's like, oh, yeah, this happens to everybody in their mid 40s. It's like, well, nobody fucking told me that. That my contacts would go

for mine. I haven't even. Not yet. I wouldn't think it's getting worse. Your eyesight's getting worse. I will. I think also it's been 10 years of like kind of looking at my phone like this. And now it's like, my, my, my, I need like, I may have readers, but like, I need progressive ones loose and stuff. Yeah. I've just, I won't wear reading glasses. So I just can't see even if you can see in the,

When I'm doing the mail bag, I'm like, I've just learned how to live with it.

rewatch this. We just, just string it together. That's why it's been Sasha Jenkins. You're a 10 master since it's. Sasha, Jensen must be so fucking mad at us. Just doing Sasha Jenkins over and over again. All right. Thanks. See you. All right. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks, Gaff.
