You want a year where a movie was robbed in the 90’s , take a look at 96 with English Patient. I believe still Fargo should have won hands down.

Greatest shot ever.

I'd give my left nut for your version of Castaway 2, only if Hanks is in and I need it to be rated R.

Seems like KD isnt happy unless you hand it to him on a golden platter.... Wait, KD wasn't happy in Golden State when it was on a golden platter. KD is the greatest unhappy malcontent.

HUD isn’t Paul Newman’s apex mountain, but it’s a masterclass nonetheless. Nobody ever mentions it.

The Chiefs are the best and the goats

One point to clarify, Bill and CR confuse the two clubs for one. Max sits down with Felix at a club called El Rodeo. “To protect your Hermes façonnable ass.” Vincent kills Peter Lim and Fanning at Fever. In between is the Audioslave coyote sequence.

I was visiting family down in Miami and we were watching in my uncle’s garage where he had a projector and a massive screen. When Ray Allen hit that shot I jumped up so high I almost knocked the projector off the holder it was hanging from. My uncle had to fix it real quick so we didn’t miss the last five seconds. But we were all celebrating. It was pure pandemonium in the room. Great memory. Basketball kind of died after that in a way. The league became all about three’s, woke politics, and super teams. Maybe it’ll come back around, but idk. And LeBron started acting like he was the greatest thing since sliced bread and calling himself the goat. That still belongs to MJ, but those LeBron-Heat teams were super fun to watch. I’ll remember those days fondly. I am from Denver so I’m happy with the Nuggets right now ofc 😄

1984. Don't forget the Detroit Tigers. 35-5 start. Sparky. Gibson. Trammell. Whitaker. Morris. Willie. Best year ever.

Bruce Willis as Korben Dallas in The Fifth Element is up there, for me.. "Anybody else wanna negotiate?"

I’m obsessed with this movie and have been to LA just once. I think the man dies on a train will anyone notice concept plays well in most cities. I live in Charlotte and had an emergency organ transplant last year after four months in the hospital and less than two months to live. I very much had the experience of man dying in a hospital of his own hometown, will anyone notice. It really resonates, in fact I watched this on my laptop in the hospital twice. It’s a masterpiece. Cruise needs to move to some villain roles now that Maverick hit so huge. Great pod episode.

I know CR could only see the movie in the theater but I think saw it twice. There are zero pictures of pilots on the wall at the Hard Deck. Only patches and framed photos of sea craft and aircraft. The nit to pick at the first bar scene is that everyone calling him “Old man” totally miss that he’s literally wearing a Top Gun bomber. All while discussing who their mystery instructor is going to be. All that said, the bravado talk towards Mav continues all the way up to Dog Fight Football.

Kobe > Duncan

Lebron saved again!!

Now that the Hawks won the lottery The Ringer is going to hate on this kid 😂

Keanu was awful, completely unwatchable. I'm 100% sure Peele has used a ghostwriter for everything he supposedly wrote since then.

6:11 Denzel and Tony Scott have five movies together (Crimson Tide, Man on Fire, Dèjá Vu, The Taking of Pelham 123 & Unstoppable)

Diggstown is a very underrated sports movie. I've been saying for years now it should be remade since so few people even know about it.

34:59 His two roulette scenes The Deer Hunter and the jail scene in Raging Bull are up there for me.

Future Hawk they better make right decision draft him and keep trae young

Wow! I was totally enjoying this series, until y'all randomly go into a stupid GOAT debate. Stop the nonsense, please. Greatest Of All Time is personal, subjective and all about eras.

One of the great American actors that came out of nowhere and kicked everyone in their asses. Total legend now. As a long time New England resident, I consider Matt as my wicked cousin.

God Bless Trump & Kristy Alley

This got me through the height of the pandemic. Good job by you, Bill.

I absolutely disagree with Chris and Bill here. I'm far less a fan of LW2 than I am the original. It's a fine movie but personally I feel like its where the wheels begin to come off for the rest of the franchise. You really notice it in 4 with the self-indulgent non-sequiturs and arguing bits, people talking all over each other, that pointless Pesci-Rock rant about making phone calls (where even Rock mentions "why am I talking to you?" when they finally get broken up) and for me, that all starts from the second movie. The first one feels like such a proper crime action thriller with very little fat on it. No squeezed-in comedic relief (in the third one, Pesci becomes a real estate agent so he can argue with Murtagh about all the damage done to his house?), the plot is just murky enough to feel conspiratorial, and the villains are just kind of iconic, trope-naming heavies. #2 has solid villains, a great love interest, and some wild set pieces. It just, in hindsight for my tastes, is the beginning of a quick spiral into the farce of 3 and 4.

I can’t believe they ruined this team

You guys missed the boat on “What’s Aged The Worst- Monty hitting on Naturelle when she’s still in high school (and wearing her school uniform).”

Over/Under for Oscars this movie wins is at 6

Can y’all do Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

1973 The Exorcist should have won over the pedestrian The Sting

Unpopular opinion (hot take unfortunately) but Black Panther is overrated (the movie) it wasn’t a bad movie (like the sequel! That one was 🗑️🤣) I really enjoyed it and I love Chadwick 🙏🏼 but nominated for Oscars?? Nahhh fam! That’s crazy civil war/Infinity war/endgame are all better movies Captain America 1, Ragnarok, and the Incredible Hulk were better stand alone movies IMO

I knew Bill wouldn’t be attending! Only thing he hates more than these movies/characters? Literally every wife in every movie 👌🏼😆 that’s always where he puts his pee break award/where to shave off some time…

It destroyed her career. I like her music more than mj's tbh

Hannibal Lecter and Buffalo Bill are both scary villains

What a joke... 3 cameras on Simmons (including a medium side shot? To whom the fuck is Simmons allegedly speaking?! And - Next time, can please get a close-up angle, from the floor - so that we can get a good look at Simmon’s nose hairs? Simmons says he wrote an article about this game a year after this event, but he seems ill-prepared for THIS segment (despite all the camera set ups): - ”I THINK he (LeBron) had 3 MVPs by that point” - - “I THINK LeBron ends up hitting the 3, to cut it to 2” (when Heat down 5, 28 sec remaining) - - ”I THINK the Spurs LIKE tried to take [the ball] out” (after the big 3 by Allen, Simmons channeling his inner Valley Girl) - - ”The time got LIKE screwed up…” (more Valley Girl...) - I perceive Simmons to be typically well-prepared, but there’s a lot of “I think” / Valley Girl type shit here… I surmise that this was SUPPOSED to be Simmons ‘organically’ recalling this event, but - I ain’t buying it. There has been almost 10 years to analyze this event, and a Big example that would have helped more than this emotional BS: Why was there a whistle right after Allen’s big 3? There were 5+ sec left, Heat had Zero time-outs, there was plenty of time for SA to go up the floor, without the Heat being able to set up their D. Could Simmons have at least MENTIONED that aspect, and that further helped the Heat - especially given that Simmons ‘killed’ Pop during the postgame?! (regarding Duncan being out of the game) - Sheesh... Thanks, but NO Thanks - to ‘Ringer Moments’ - Cheers...

This is exactly the nexus of topics I want Wos talking about 😂: Broadband Internet Culture Vulture Timberlake Public Nudity

Funny how things worked out. Kyle is in Cabo when Matt and Sean were there, but he missed the boat. Then he rolls the dice with Trey Lance, and when this was recorded he didn't yet know it was a whiff, but in this video without knowing it he describes the qualities of the QB he's get at the end of the following year's draft.

I know this might be out there but I can see Tom Hanks playing John Doe,

bill Simmons is such a great story teller

Bill got it right, just a few years ahead of time.

Spielberg/Stallone/Lucas killed off the New Hollywood Movement. They were about movies, not reality. Rocky was about boxing movies, not boxing. And it wouldn't get made with a black Rocky. Jaws was Spielberg ripping off The Thing 1951. They were crowd pleasing roller coaster rides that made so much money that studios wanted EVERY movie to be Jaws. Even ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN was billed as the thinking mans Jaws. So fuck those 3 guys.

Agree on Exorcist. Disagree on Rosemary's Baby. RB is what Polanski called Holocaust Horror. We're stuck in a,place with Mia. The movie doesn't telegraph the horror to come, it uses stone carvings so as not to be accused of lying to the audience. The psychological screws keep tightening just as the Nazis kept making things worse for the Jews. And the ending is the apex of the Holocaust: the Death Camps. The FINAL solution. When the world was aghast, the Nazis looked up, puzzles, and said,"What? We told you in the 1920s what we were going to do. We didn't lie about it or cheat or fudge. And YOU,kept doing business with us so fuck you lBM. AND Renault..And Bayer Aspirin." That is a very adult approach to horror. Tell us what is going on and what the bad guys are going to do, then do it.its a shock because we root for Mia Farrow and we tell ourselves that nothing bad will truly happen to her. This IS a big time Hollywood movie, right?

This is the best MI in the franchise. I saw this at age 15 in a THX Certified movie theater. Two things about that. First, I don’t understand why people find this movie so confusing. At 15, as I watched Jim Phelps lie to Ethan Hunt and we see Ethan realize what really happened, it landed with me immediately what had happened and all the pieces came together. It’s complex, yes, but totally understandable. Second, the Langley suspension scene in a THX Certified theater was unreal. It felt an offense to breathe too loud. I walked into this movie a movie watcher and walked away from this movie an obsessive. The next day I began seeking a surround sound system and wanted more movies that didn’t feed me everything but showed me everything I needed to know to allow my mind to put the pieces together. In 1996 I don’t think there had ever been a blockbuster big budget movie that respected the audience enough to blow shit up AND make them think too. The lack of any shown intimacy makes it great. This is an instance when telling not showing works better. We think there might be something going on between Claire and Ethan but we never see it. Then Phelps tells us Ethan “coveted his wife.” Bingo. It did happen. That is why Jim shoots Claire first. Jim feels betrayed that Claire slept with Ethan. We know this because on the train Phelps gives us the covet line. Meanwhile, the sexuality Max throws at Ethan totally works. She’s a female international warlord/arms dealer who always gets what she wants. She’s impressed by Hunt’s bold play and thinks this young man is totally gettable for her. Senator Waltzer is not a confusing part. Way overthinking this. He’s a real Senator and they’ve never used him before. We know this because when Phelps tells Ethan they’re using him Ethan is surprised and amused. So we know this isn’t an ongoing ploy. We also get the information dump on Waltzer that he’s classically liberal and believes covert government operations are a serious civil rights issue. That’s why it’s amusing to Hunt they use him. The operational purpose they use Waltzer is because they need to get into a US Embassy and that requires someone who is a known government representative. In search for said known representative they learn Waltzer will not be in DC but in Ireland. This gives them the opportunity to plant an Irish IMF agent to pose as a fishing guide to ensure the duration of Waltzer’s trip. They can’t have him showing up in DC for a vote and be in Eastern Europe the same day. That’s why it works perfectly. The duality of him being the senator out of the country and him being against tax payer funded covert operations makes it poetic. It took me longer to write the very obvious information dump De Palma gave us in like 15 seconds of screen time.

No funny shit, for all the people who think doing what Wos did was easy just now, listen to that last minute. The eloquent way he delivered that closing statement was extremely well said, professional, and is why he gets paid the bread to do what he does. Expertly detailing the moment in our country and culture juxtaposed to other places in the world at large and hitting it on the head. In other words, son was spittin fr.

Lebron bas been carried by his teammates his whole career

It’s a film…not a movie…there’s a difference…

James Caan quotes 25:00 - 26:00

I frequently tell people when they are assholes in Germany, that "even in Boston, a pricks a prick"

As a diehard Spurs fan, every time Bill brings up the 2013 Finals i get triggered. But, damn this was a great video! It does bring me some sort of peace that the Spurs smacked the piss out of Lebron and team in 2014 and embarrass Miami for stealing that 2013 title.
