Let's go The rewatchable is a brought to you by the ringer podcast that we can find a watch with CR still in on the last of us Yes, the wind hurts shit's going down on that it's all going down.

Yeah, nobody's safe. Nobody's safe Yeah, nobody's safe show. How about and we're gonna check that out. You keep telling me to yeah a novelistic approach to the Star Wars I just want to see John Hamm steal from his friends.

That's where that's why MTV was My name is Bill Simmons CR and I have been doing we did the first rewatchable's ever it started in my Last one everyone's why we do one for us. We've been circling this for a while, but really To be who is not a sponsor of this podcast and I'm mad at to because they won't give us a kiss of death And they can actually fuck off so this is not a sponsor Everyone's in a while to be understands us and they kept showing someone to watch over me. Yeah always Hey, you heard about this movie is like not I heard about this movie I've seen it 30 times and we said fuck it. We're doing the rewatchable six And unwilling with this Oh, I never thought anybody kept the war and never been detected before I'm being unable attraction.

You get what this case if you don't come home. I'm for seeing danger I know you're a boy. I'm not asking for anything. I'm scared a classic thriller with a twist of romance someone to watch over me Riggadar special events preview Saturday at select theaters All right CR.

I thought Craig's text this week encapsulated this one perfectly He's flying home from the draft and he texted us about this movie I looked this movie up and it's exactly the type of shit that gets me fired up for a rewatchable Mid-budget action movie. I've never heard of with a big director and some husband actors. Yeah. Well for Craig It has been for us.

They were they were the big beautiful faces on screen. They were was is there were is this they were gonna be So I had the flawed rewatchables checklist because we've had some flawed rewatchables We've done a lot of ones for us. Mm-hmm eight millimeter probably one of my favorites You just got to meet the machine you want to talk about a little bit machine You know, I really I really I really I really blew it by not saying machine love your work It's like kind of roast. I think I think Chris Bauer who plays machine was so stunned that I opened with I love eight millimeter What did he literally what did he say when you said he was just because I'm sure these guys a lot of stuff He must get a lot of tobacco.

Yeah, a lot of you. Yeah, who knows? Yeah, maybe he's on law and order But yeah, I don't think he gets a lot of eight millimeter anyway, flawed rewatchables checklist. Here we go Is it okay if your movie is flawed, but it's an incredibly cool hang I think it is.

Yeah, is it okay? If I like the performances more than the actual movie they're in I'm gonna say yes Is it okay if I had a great time the entire time then the ending fell apart and I'm not gonna hold it against the movie and Then is it okay if an excellent director said Platch my I care more about how this looks What are what are the what are the flawed rewatchables like things where you're just like I'm just gonna forgive this because I'm having a Great time. I think there's got to be a big ensemble that you're excited about seeing just random guys I think someone to watch me has a bunch of really random choices by random actors. Yeah, we're like why are you bringing this energy to the scene My man doesn't matter you're dead anyway I love that I think a lot of faces so someone who much blotcher me has you always see like oh there's your back Yeah, there's more roses like a lot of guys that are just kind of floating around in there and I got to say for us I think flawed rewatchables do demand a little bit of sexual intercourse like I think it helps to have like a little bit of sex a Little bit of violence later about whether there was enough I know but just even like the hint of it or like the neurosis around it I think it really helps so I watched I put this on to be last week as I can find anything and it was like 11 30 night I was doing my classic.

I'm not quite tired enough yet I just put it on and then I've watched the whole thing and that was when I texted you after I was like it's you just got I bang this out so it's not watching but I think the number one reason I like this movie is because I'm just I saw this Movie when I was probably senior in high school. I just love me me Rogers in this movie And I don't we can have the whole me me Rogers conversation later But this Claire character is so compelling but then we also have this Lorraine Braco The thing is that I feel like you and I are Woban and cornheiser here where I'm like that's your girl me Rogers But I'm like mesmerized by Lorraine Brocko and this is yeah Who when this movie came out nobody knew she was it was a complete out of nowhere And it was a complete out of nowhere for me me Rogers and the only person we had a history with was Beringer But you have this moral choice for this cop where he's like I have this great queen And they do a really good job with the family life stuff this great family life my house is just big enough It's cool. We're all together. We bust each other's balls.

I have all these great friends and my wife is cool And she's she's kind of like Queens hot. Yeah, I mean it's not half and then he's with me Rogers and goes into the world for five seconds And he's like this is Princess Diana. Yeah, and he's just battling that but I think that most my wife was we were talking about this And she's like why do we like this movie so much and I said because it pulls out the hardest thing you can pull off somebody's doing something terrible But you can kind of see it and you're not holding it against them Isn't this why we love this like 85 to 95 97 run where you get all these like erotic thrillers and Indian movies like where it's body double body heat see of love big easy fatal attraction specializes in videotape all the way up through eyes wide Shut even where you're like this is just really interesting. There might be a genre movie happening around it So there's a movie happening around it But what you're there for is this guy's midlife crisis and this crossroads Becomes for comes to where he's like god This is like a complete fantasy land up here in Manhattan But then I have like this decent life Yeah, and you're actually kind of like you can see both sides of it no matter where you are in your life You can kind of see like I can see why this would be pretty seductive, but also you got your kid and your wife over here Yeah, you're doing good.

Yeah. Yeah, it's a moral crossroads movie. Maybe that's a genre fatal traction which comes out the same year This is just and this is probably to be's greatest year 87 They should just have one category should be and by the way This is not an ad for to be because they can fuck off because they haven't given us good stuff yet But they could do a carousel category just called 87 Yeah, and there's like 20 of these that they made this year but fatal attraction was the one that I think did the best I would like that the carousel should be called you should probably go home now Don't have that drink. Yeah, but it's a lot of they'll set up in the beginning.

Oh man This guy's really got a nice life. Yeah, really. There's usually only one kid They never have to because to it gets a little cat the one kid They can both have the relationship with go bust the parents balls They'll throw some scene in the first 15 minutes where either they just had sex or they're thinking about it and the wife still looks good But you can also see why he would get seduced by a B. M.

Rogers or crazy glen close with their hair He's kind of you know, this is he's sent him into whatever his life's gonna be but there's that small piece of them going Huh? I wonder what else is out there And these movies just attacked it for 10 years So I love the way this movie opens the first few scenes outside of the nightclub part where you're getting to see Tom Barrageous character Mike Eden got this duplex and Queens and he's making breakfast for his family Yeah, and it's very homey, but you can see him tripping over skateboards the kid is really fun But when he's like done with his napkin he just throws it into the kitchen like everything about it Charming but like a little like man. We're really like living on top of here And then when he goes to Claire's apartment he gets lost in it It's so big that he can't find his way back There's so many doors and really Scott never like over does it He does it by visually showing you what a completely different universe this guy is and that's where you get to the really Scott part of this Where it's like this guy is so talented to be doing basically like a pulpy erotic thriller Yeah, and he's able to elevate it. I think so awful what you just said me me Rogers had this quote Ridley Scott is the most visual director I've ever worked with he actually paints with light And with lenses with angles and it's a very unique process It becomes an element of the story because really creates such a strong mood with his visuals And she was saying like he almost cared more about how something looked Then then what the actors were doing.

Mm-hmm and she was saying there was that YouTube interview I did a meme your Rogers deep dive. Yeah, our girl Bobby Waggant who had these weird interviews in Dallas where they just keep the cameras rolling even Before the interview starts just like I'll just see them on really in it And it's the most awkward things you've ever seen and she's got like the big bun hairdo. Yeah, and she's just like Chris So the watch it's doing well, huh? And then you're like yeah, it is doing well and you could just tell these people are doing 130 interviews in five days We've kind of now arrived back at that where it's like the you know the center's cast and they're like do your favorite dogs reverse Right.

Yeah, there's a while eating your favorite snack But you're answering for Haley Steinville, right? Yeah back then it was it was more simple questions like you have such beautiful hair, but your hair is different in the movie Why is it different? That's actually a question Bobby Waggant. It's hard to kiss someone you're not married to right?

So it's a lot of stuff like that, but me me Roger said yeah I cut when my hair's shorter it gets fuffier But really wanted me to put these little blonde highlights in it So my hair's a little lighter because so much of what we filmed at night was in the dark Mm-hmm in a dark like shadows all the stuff and he wanted the light to hit the highlights of my hair And it's like really Scott. You're the fucking man. Yeah, even this movie That's a pretty average plot for a late 80s movie and he's just like I'm making a Picasso out of this movie Yeah He obviously wanted to make something that pay tribute to 40s and 50s more movies. Yeah, but also Brings like his very modern very commercial sensibility a lot of people I've talked about how you know You watch it really Scott movie and if you close your eyes sometimes you think it's a Tony Scott movie I wonder whether or not you know we can have the like in the director What if casting what if stuff like we can talk about whether this would be a cooler Tony Scott movie that we have three more action Yeah, but really like is also really good at like location So like picking a place to set action that just feels like the apartment the Guggenheim the nightclub like yeah He's just fantastic at like a bear and you're walking the streets Yes, and it's and as usual in New York movies nobody's on the street.

There's not a single hobo anything just wet streets Sunlight streaming off them. Yeah, nobody's gonna stab you. He was in I think it was like the third or fourth Premiere magazine ever I'm gonna show it on camera cuz we're now a video podcast where yeah check him out like now He looks like Logan right now, but back then younger But he wrote this piece about why he wanted to make this movie and he was coming off the duel list Maybe that you and Sean we might have to rewatchables that one at some point sure blade runner. He did legend He felt like alien alien.

He's becoming pigeonholed as this kind of like grand idea, you know sci-fi and whatever And he really just he said someone watch over me was to be a change of pace for me It said in present day New York and it deals with the lives and relationships of contemporary characters And then he did all this research which I thought was funny where he really wanted to study queens how cops interacted And I was just thinking how funny that would have been like 1986. This is like this really Scott Hey, can I just watch you guys interrupt in this bowling alley? What happens at the pub it is pretty crazy He makes these two films that are essentially like genre defining for the the decades to come from a runner and alien and you would think that like He would pretty much be in what we would consider like almost like a Kubrick zone in terms of like every four years I'm gonna make a mind-altering Yeah, masterpiece, but he just really likes working and he really likes he still does I mean he's a lot of soda burger you're knocking out two movies a year practically Yeah, so this is kind of like an interesting it's funny to see him come almost full circle now Where he'll just make you know the house of Gucci or something like that because he's interested in this mystery in the heart of like the high-fashion world This is clearly just something that peaked his interest and also like I think you said like he just wanted to shoot a nighttime New York movie That he was interested in this high-high society life and somebody going between these two worlds and he was like He said this is another quote yet. I wanted to create that dilemma in the central character's mind But I gave him a very strong home life and a very strong wife I wanted his attraction to clear to be more than sexual.

I wanted to be cerebral about everything It's a choice between women so the casting was important But like the key scene in this movie that says it's not he's just not thinking about fucking me me Rogers When his wife is in the bathroom and she's swearing and he's like why do you have to swear? Yeah, and she's like oh man I mean he's got you You love a taste of the classy lady Brock at least like I've been swearing for 16 years. Yeah, what the fuck? Why are you bringing this up now fuck face?

Yeah, she's like that's what I mean Barringer Big chill Eddie in the cruisers. I'm gonna look in the camera for this one Fuck you again to be because that in the cruisers You assholes we do your movies then you put them on the main screen and you won't give us any of the cruisers and kiss death fuck off Platoon someone to watch over me and then has the shoot to kill betrayed last rights major league is kind of the last and then he kind of moves into some different territory, but it never 100% happens and yet I feel like he had something we talked about it during the big chill podcast He had some sort of leading man thing that I just don't understand why he wasn't Clooney costner it just felt like that should have been his career for ten years a couple of more Westerns But he has like a really great Western face and I feel like he needed like like he does tombstone in 1985 Yeah, something like he needed some kind of like go play wider man or you know And I think they've been in touchable sky instead of costner I think there's part because like Tom Beringer and you see oh you see the kind of guy who would be like You know what maybe I'm gonna leave my wife costner never would do that costner is this angelic kind of like I'm entirely dedicated to Andy Matigan or fish Clarkson or whatever he's in the movie Tom Beringer is kind of like whoa is that guy still at the bar? Okay, right? You go like a tiny dark side.

Yeah, yeah Hmm. I don't know and then I think maybe like I think he's like stuck in between right because he's like a got movie star Charisma, but he's got kind of a character actors look so can't really be Richard Gere for instance, right? Right closer like Sam Shepard. Well, probably almost more like Don Johnson like Sonny Crockett like those Constance a movie star like me like his face is like demeanor is like really like movie star But a big chill he plays like Sam the fucking mag and PI Tom Selick or whatever.

Yeah, I like him. I thought he was really good at any of the cruisers too Shoot the kill really weird movie. It was sold as poitiers like like a kind of comeback. Yeah mainstream comeback movie It's actually a good one.

That's another like classic. Oh, yeah, okay. Oh, I have I think platoon's rewatchable. I do too It's not a fun.

Hey, I'm asking you. Yeah, yeah, I think he's extraordinary platoon. He's extraordinary He's great and by the way Charlie Sheen's really good and so is the foe It's really cool that really Scott got to like watch an earlier version of platoon because he was thinking about Casper and He had been inspired by the big chill because he liked like his tough guy look in that movie Right saw him in platoon. It was like holy shit.

I better jump on this while I can yeah He said that was the reason because he saw some rough cut of platoon and became fascinated by a by Barringer I don't know that this era is just so weird from a movie standpoint because there's so many of them that we love and There's so many of them that are flawed and then so many stars from the 80s that I'm just like why wasn't their career better? But maybe it was just less movies. There's less prestige to be yeah, but Barringer is one of those I thought that was one level. That is a good point is that I probably for in our head We're like well Barringer.

Why didn't you just make a Taylor Sheridan show, but there weren't Taylor Sheridan shows, you know, like right? Barringer would be basically going up against the same 10 stars for these movies Yeah, he would not want to go down and play Sam alone like you know He's he's not gonna go back down to television once you're in the movies back then. What was the one he made was at the substitute? Yeah, he's making like B movies by the when he became a B movie guy.

I gotta say I really really enjoyed that barrier Well, I like sniper. Yeah, yeah, it's nice. It's a good one and then I remember it started to turn on him And maybe he led a hard life But I remember I saw sliver in the theater with Jo House in Boston We were like we're sharing some season tickets at that point and he's in that and he just looked it looked like he'd aged 20 Years from someone to watch over me that movie came out I think six years after and it was like wow Barringer. Yeah, what happened in the sky But he might have let a meta let us some of my hard life.

He had it. He had a two episode cheers run to yeah 1993 the last year. Yeah, so he ends up It's basically by the time we get to the 90s all this the substitutes 1996 so it's just couldn't keep it going but I was like perfectly cast for this movie because if you put someone prettier If you put gear in this role if you put gear in the someone to watch it really well You're just like yeah, these women should be throwing themselves at this guy Barringer it's like this guy hit the lottery. He has the best wife and queens Yeah, but he somehow has like drawn the eye of Mimi Rogers's character who's in this vulnerable state cuz right Joey fucking lands I was running after it right The rainbroco first movie She's phenomenal and then Scott said this was the hardest part to cast Did we have a couple casting with us with that too?

It's so funny to watch this now knowing she's gonna be Karen in three years But It's a little they were gonna find it in this well, I did some Braco research Braco I did some Braco research and I didn't realize she was a model like they kind of ugly her up in this movie She's like the worst possible hair dude But then they make her look finally she looks really good in that in the restaurant scene when she confronts Barringer's character, but they definitely no makeup She's just looking like super queens housewife feet But I didn't realize she had this whole modeling career and good fellas takes off And then she's in her lives through good fellas in this part I was like forever yeah, and this is like an afterthought movie for her yeah, but it's it's a great It's a great debut. It's a great rookie season for her. Yeah apart that in the wrong hands might have not been It's like throughout the film You're just kind of like Ellie has such a great charm and energy and she's like wearing a hooded sweatshirt with a sweater over it Yeah coming in with brown grocery bags and stuff and kind of pinching his butt and making everything like kind of work And I think I think it'd be very easy for that to be like oh man drop drop away. Let's go.

Yeah, let's go. Yeah, let's talk me me There's a lot of me stuff going on during this movie because she's met Tom Cruise who was in legend And I think I think they're married at that when the movie comes out I'm not sure if they were married when they were making it but I'm just gonna do this now because I think she's one of the most fascinating deep dive random extras you're gonna find Graduated from high school at age 14. Oh wow. We're doing the whole biography screen tested for body heat lost a Kathleen Turner Her first husband Jim Rogers was a church of Scientology counselor She is such a good poker player that she's on the board of directors for the world poker tour She dated Amelia West of as who then was the best man in her wedding with Tom Cruise She quietly quit Scientology in the 90s.

She's a member of Mensa She did playboy magazine in 1993 for some reason she said in the piece about her her excitement at that point Tom Cruise At least for that period of time it looked as though marriage wouldn't fit into his overall spiritual need And he thought he had to be celibate to maintain the purity of his instrument my instrument needed tuning And then she said I retract those comments I've been misquoted and then you do a little deeper and she shared an apartment with Kirstie Allie. Yeah, they're first working out There's a lot going on here CR like a lot and I think that Bobby Wagon interview and Bobby asks me me about Tom Cruise and like So you were married to Tom Cruise and me like immediately and this is they were married for two more years after the interview immediately It's like hey, it's weird and she's like do you think you ever be in a movie with Tom? I mean, it's like yeah, maybe it just frozen smile and it's like man This was a weird relationship, but that's kind of what she became known for I thought there was more there more there for me Rogers's career yeah, just and then there's there's another casting what if where she lost basic instinct to Sharon Stone Oh, yeah, I forgot about that I don't know what what didn't happen for her. I don't know I mean she she works a lot I think that she obviously has a lot of other interests outside of just acting and just doing the movie star thing Maybe she's more private after that Tom Cruise thing.

Yeah became a little bit more more well done I thought that would be my guess she had a cool movie. I can't remember last time I saw it But I was gonna say the rapture Michael Tolkien, right that movie was awesome. Yeah, it's I mean, it's completely fucked up I don't know if I'd ever watch it again, but I remember she got like a lot of like awards buzz around that I remember but kind of yeah I feel like she's she's had like a very decent career But definitely could have been like like she could have been Susan Sarandon and Boulder or something like that like there were definitely roles out there That she could have been in film Louise, maybe she was a good talk show guest too She was kind of go through the circuit. She's in this it got really weird for her by the be-90s She's in this masseuse movie with Coglin from cocktail Bryan Brown He's just massaging her.

She's naked like half the movie. It's like what's going on? It's like cocktail, but it's for masseuses. No, it's just saying Coglin's in it.

Okay, and it's like a weird massage movie and yeah I don't know massage movie Craig will find it. Yeah, Craig look up massage movie. Look up. Mimi Rogers.

I was looking at massage movie last night actually Hold on. I'm gonna find this weird massage movie So I'm gonna say it was mid-90s. It's a TV movie. I believe it's called full-body massage Wasn't a TV movie because she's naked in it.

It says TV movie. Maybe Roger Bryan Brown. Maybe it was for like showtime Literally the name of the movie a successful but world-weary art dealer finds out that our usual massour has sent a substitute for a weekly Massage at her home. They find out that they're both mutually attracted and annoy one another a great deal director Nicholas Rogue Is this a skin-amax movie Nicholas Rogue director your guy, but why is it called full-body massage?

I'm just listen. I'm just a messenger. Okay This stuff's just out there. I'm just gonna find it but uh For what she's trying to do in this movie.

I think she's fantastic Yeah, she's great. She has to be like you said she has to be the princess that you'd see like who's this person now? You have to be there's an difference between oh, she's a rich lady and the way they do this character. Yes, we're testing That's a good one It's beyond rich.

She is in a world that she's giving to a few people Yeah, she has conversations with the most dressed up like that party scene is so key in the beginning. She's all everyone's dressed up The conversations have it's almost like another language. Yeah, and she just moves in these circles It's like the limo drivers right there. I go from here to here.

I need to get you a tie She walks into the store everybody knows who she is like it's just and then she pulls it off like there's an there's an elegance to it And then like when she's she's effectively vulnerable So like when because you can see why she would want the sort of protection and the masculinity of the key character in her life because like for one thing She's got this like nether boyfriend, but for the other like she's finally been like shown the outside world like outside of her pet house outside of like The limo that can attack her that can't her so like she doesn't really job grounding it Someone to watch over me. I could just tell your team, brocco. Yes. Yeah, okay.

Someone to watch over me George Gershwin your guy. Mm-hmm double G. What are the best to ever tickle the high freeze? They play this song three times Sting they get him for the start.

Yeah, that's the open credits Roberta Flack heard over the uncred it's not available on Spotify or platform for some reason Do you like the sting version or the Roberta Flack version better? I'm gonna answer that in a later category Okay, and then they run the original one midway through the movie the sting and Roberta Flack movie versions were new takes They never had a soundtrack out before because the same song a bunch of times The opening reminds me a lot. It's like the new version of the lethal weapon opening. Oh, yeah Night City.

I would say it's a most rewatchable scene Yeah, they do it, but uh, it's rare to have a song three times in the same movie Titled after the movie that also is the theme of the movie It's like the fucking triple crowd and then they say versions of the title of the movie multiple times. I'm gonna watch over you tonight Yeah, thank you for watching over me. Yeah, congratulations one of the great songs Rind by Howard Franklin Franklin. So Ridley follows Blade Runner with legends someone to watch over me Black Rain which has been circled for a while and then uh Thumb in the weeds.

Yeah, I'm not positive we've ever done Stella. I don't think we've done it. We've never done it. Oh my god.

Well 12.8 million made 10.3 million a rewatchable loser It's really hard to to lose money on 12.3 million This is how you know to win for us the movie lost money and Roger Ebert gave it two stars The image where it's like coming monday and it's just gonna be baringer. I can't learn like seriously what the fucking movie These fucking guys. I can't even reverse Google image search. I'm trying to think what the meanest things will be but it'll probably be a lot of I thought we're getting hunt for red october and we get this fucking movie.

That's my burner My army of guys roger Ebert two star review. I thought it was one of the better reviews I've read from him on any movie we've done. He really lays out why he doesn't think about high concept movies once you master the concept There's nothing left for the movie movies like this or on automatic pilot Um, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the script in which the hero sleeps with the wrong woman I'm not talking here in moral terms But in story terms the makers of this film got so carried away with their high concept that they missed the point of the whole story That rich broad really does have a great kitchen though Raj roger roger Fisty at the end uh Pauline kale said uh really Scott put so much morbid finicky care into this silly little story that he's worried the fun out of it Late 80s Pauline he's kind of needed big keeping helping to settle down juice just in general Just part of the morning like green juice down Pauline take it with your metamucal Um, all right. We're gonna take a break and come back and do most rewatchables All right, most rewatchable scene opening credits mentioned that stinks though had his voice in 87 He did when he still hit the notes.

Did you lose it? You think uh, yeah, okay by probably mid 90s Can't hit those notes. You know like fields of gold in the 90s and hey that's what that was about it It feels like oh it's out I think was it was it out in lost it. Well those people who can live in the high high high areas It's you're not doing that when you're like 45.

I was never much of a sting guy to be completely honest I like really not a tantric sex guy Police guy, uh, please are good. Yeah, I love the police. I bet you do you mentioned that before it also seems like you're kind of banned Not a projorative way. Love them.

Well, I like that they were like six years done Yeah, and hated each other hated each other's guts. There's great background deep that stuff once the internet ran in a shape But uh, I've you've heard my theory that Three-person bands I just feel like should be graded on a different curve because it's just so impressive that they're making all the music If you're standing up with all the other bands and you only have three people it'd be like if I won the NBA title with four guys on the court Tonta, but I was like, I'll try Most rewatchable scene The opening cop party Yeah, I have this in wood stage the best as well I don't know what it is because cop lane has this too. Some of these other ones these cop movies set in like jersey or New York or whatever I just like hanging out with cops all day party too. Maybe not when Karen reads involved, but um, but for the most part seems like a fun hang Maybe not at three in the morning at a burrow But for the most part fun hangs, um, but you notice though that it starts in the afternoon and that it's like two in the morning And they're still at the house.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, um and everybody knows everybody and everybody's kind of on the verge of being inappropriate And nobody's judging anybody and people are smoking decent stories on that too Like it's like this guy's getting promoted. That's the most important thing like the you know and like he's got like this All his friends are over but the cake is for his promotion to getting into this new district in precinct in Manhattan Right and it's like yeah, because it's really hard to get up the ladder in this thing Do you think we need more? Like New York area copball busting at parties just for the ringer for us.

Yeah, it's like Craig look at this dude with a big promotion Hey Jack Sanders running the big pick that look at this guy. That would be good That's that's like basically all the dogs Swedish HR law. Yeah, I gotta I'll check out this week's but I like those cops scenes Uh baringers first day when they're walking around the incredible clear apartment Next we watchable scene, um and he gets lost but ends up in the closet lieutenant I um, I hope you understand how upsetting this is Yes, my mind do and the way she handles it. Yeah, you're just like whoa This is a lady that uh has has talked down to a lot of people that has worked for her family Yeah, she's just like this is really upsetting for me.

I hope I hope you understand how upsetting this is for me Really good stuff. Um, all right now. We're cooking with gas because Claire has to go out my cast to go with her They're going to the googinheim. We go tie shopping everyone knows her Well, if you're going to be my escort need a new tie Perfect.

All right. I'll take it. No, no, my account. Yes, let's check If we had more time, I'd work on the suit Basm the new tie.

Yeah, I had more time. I'd work on the suit too. Now we're gonna. We're flirting the tie also really brings His outfit together.

She's right. It's great. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, it's basically ties whatever But like you she puts he puts on this new tie and I'm like look at this guy.

Yeah, Ellie 16 years Maybe learn how to buy your guy tie. It's fun. Make it I'm making the case for her bike as it's going. It's like yeah, Claire's got some points here There's paparazzi for some reason.

I think because we just watched it in Boston I was thinking of heat when the tie thing is happening because it's like when Jeremy pivons like my My daughter gave back We asked to ballbusted with the on my duty. What kind of duty chick-a-lo? Yeah, you know, um I loved Claire's friends fishing for info at the party. I gotta watch this thing for 21 minutes What is the old one?

Say like don't you have he's really nice? I Who who have you been hiding from us? Um, it's the most pretentious party. I think I've personally never been to a party like that ever Yeah, where it's like Everyone at the party is 100 rich and pretentious and there's like no other people at the party and just people This is it.

This is the highlight of their month going on this thing and hanging out with the rich people Yeah, it's just another example of him being like kind of overwhelmed by architectures first and Claire's apartment But he walks into the googinheim and he's just like it's also awesome chase Location because of the spiral hallway right in the googinheim. So when he goes after a Venza The lady comes up to him and says to shooting a gun make you hard. Oh, yeah, I love her She's great. She's coming up later.

Then Claire's in danger. Somehow Mike fucks us up and then he chases him out And I like when Vergia does that but oh Get that cop that cop voice Um, but at this whole scene this lights up Next one I have is uh Ellie finds out Mike went to a party with Claire in that she bought her a tie Yeah, really good braco Claire asked Mike on his last day to go for a drink So they were like that moments are someplace like they go to a nice bar It's been nice having you watch over me. I bet it has Good that scene probably could have gone longer for me I would have could have gone like two three more like a little background of Claire like here. I went to harvard Yeah, I graduated as an art major the way that they kind of do it It isn't that they're connecting on a personality experiential soul level It's more just like we're two people who are currently trying to escape our immediate circumstances It's very present tense like it's not gonna work.

You're not gonna move in with me We're not going to europe together But like right now right here it works and so when you think about it like that It's kind of nice that they're not telling each other their life stories Would you have had her smoke or not smoke? I could see her doing a virginia slim or something elegant. So then good cat quick Should this character have had one cigarette? I have some cigarette words coming there is there could there been an elegant smoking scene for her?

Uh, I think that there would have been a cigarette out of just pure tension just like stopping me. Yeah, yeah On the other hand she's too glass of smoke I like when they're in the when they uh he gives her the coat feels like they're gonna fuck We're in the elevator and they're just kind of like what are we doing? She looks at he looks at him and then walks away. Uh, just a nitpick now.

Just so I remember it They get home at three in the morning. Mm-hmm So she wants to get a drink. What time is it? I know but is it like 11 at night?

Yeah So they're out having a drink till three in the morning. I wouldn't be a little more drunk He starts working in the middle of the night doesn't he doesn't he go on it? It'd be a little more sauce. She'd be a little more tips in 80s.

They just put it away. Maybe she'd care Licker. I like the cop bus. She's like Larry Bird.

She can put a case away Uh, Claire and Mike finally, Benza gets out Claire and Mike have some uh scared sex for Claire. She she needs somebody To watch over. I uh, I'm gonna bring this up now the Mallory Rubin award that this movie need a better sex scene It kind of did Yeah, I think really was afraid to do it because if there was a pounding away saying maybe it's a little tougher You want a little mystery? I think that there's definitely There's a way to have shown like the way Mike has sex with both of these different women as like illustrative of like his His sort of choice.

He has to make yeah, it's a little bit chased the way it happens It's like almost close to top gun maverick laughing, you know, right? Um, but I think Mallory probably would have turned turned the temperature up a little bit Next thing Ellie finds out at at lunch about Mike's cheating. Love this incredible braco Braco. Why don't we keep saying braco braco?

Okay, two in towers in the background. Yeah, I behave like the kind of lady you apparently You come back you come back for me Not for Tommy Not for your mother not for your goddamn job. You come back for me. Okay.

I'm sorry. Yeah And you are a lady and I respect you very much I You come back you come back for me. It's a good line. Now for your goddamn job.

You come back for me. Okay, then she punches him terrible sound effects for the punch terrible Yeah, it's beyond the what's age the worst. I don't I just wanted to bring it up as soon as you said it really's like Can you put like four highlights and me me's hair because I want to make the light shine off it and I got can you wet the street again? When larry and braco punches down there?

It's not like a second. Are they like It's a second after the punch. Um Let me watch over you tonight. There's another one.

Tom's been kicked out of that bear mikes been kicked out of the house He goes shows up anyway, even though TJ's there and then we get the whole I love the switching the runner Yeah, that's that's some bill and see our shit right there Like scoping out the jogger how he's running at seven o'clock behind the exact same outfit putting the hood over it Um Then TJ gets shot. We a little action scene and then um we get the hall of mirrors action too within the within the apartment You knew that was gonna come into play when we saw him beginning So these mirrors are coming back and then I got mike shows up at the queen's party that she's throwing Uh someone to watch over me playing again and she does like that's kind of my song with my weird cop that stayed with us Um it wouldn't work out clear. How long you going away for to forget about you? I feel like that that exchange has been in like 40 movies gets me every time um Any others for rewatch?

I feel like it's uh, we've got like 40 some minutes and you're just having said jerry lands it yet He's coming up. Okay. So I have venza. Uh, Joey venza.

I don't know I work with verde lanza Joey venza with kegan's family at the end is a pretty amazing. It's ridiculous, but it's just an incredible ridiculous Comeler Graham, uh, and I also have the studio 54 style club which I shot at the beginning at the beginning. Yeah, okay but my number one is Got I think it's when when Ellie finds out about clear. Honestly.

It's such a great scene I have uh when they go to the googin on what's the most 1987 thing about this movie? I had sting doing your theme song or a club blaring steve windwood I love steve windwood. I would never listen to steve windwood again for any reason I just it is also like a perfect song like music to be listening to in 1987 Yeah, it's either that him and peter gaberell in the finals for what made sense there What's age the best? I have a bunch of small stuff.

What do you have? I have a bunch of small stuff too. I really Just for the top note is people reacting to adultery in an adult way So like, you know, it's a little bit dated personal experience here No, but just like I think that the crisis and like the range up goes not just like you're out You know, it's not like our marriage is over She's kind of like working with it and working through it I kind of like just watching them, you know, have like an adult reaction to it Now it would be like here's my essay for the only time it's about when my husband cheated on me If his day was Mike Here's what I entered a poly pool. Um, uh, I really liked the kid Tommy Tommy was an excellent little kid.

Yeah, he could have been super annoying. It was a perfect 1987 kid with a little cyclist hat and it's just like layback Mac I got my skateboard. He's like Bart Simpson He could have gone right into being Josh Baskin's best friend and big and Ben and nine other 80s movies And number one this is an age of the worst that's actually age the best And it's one of the little details of this movie that makes it worth completely rewatching One of the other cops is this guy named koots Yeah, and when he when Keaton finds out that his family has been taken hanger hostage by Venza It's revealed that koots just has a little stud earring And I really really thought for a second about coming in today with a study But just like I want I think I should just start like yeah check it out. I'm not having to mid like crisis at all That's a good one.

Uh, I have a couple small ones These are just personal preferences cop daughters in a movie who then marry a cop. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I like that one They kind of know the drill like that was a cop. I've seen some adult during my day cops calling other cops wives the old lady Yeah, when do we stop doing this? I don't know. I don't think anybody would appreciate it anymore.

Like he's a girl lady Yeah, Craig you want to film that video later? You got to see the old lady. Yeah, say that to Liz in the next action in the office The old lady, I think when you think it went away like early 2000s. Uh, I think it went away like in in the 80s Like I think this is the last guest.

This is the last old lady I don't remember anyone ever referring to even even my mother is how's your old lady doing? It's offensive. It's the rare thing that's offensive to all parties. It's offensive to the person you're saying it to it's offensive to the lady Everyone loses.

Uh, I mentioned earlier, but all the all the luring brocco scenes knowing good fellows is coming. Yeah, it makes me laugh Two-way mirrors. Yep for the for the perfect any cop scene for the perp ID. I just have always enjoyed them and um Might put one in my house Okay, um I don't know if you pick this up, but it's a great what's age the best mike's wearing this old school 80s jet sweatshirt Oh, and it's a sweatshirt that had a collar and they only made these for a couple years I used to have the past one but I lost it for days of jets fan It's actually your second Oh, I know Right Gastonope They keep raps of cracking down on it.

They should have had like them go to a jet game that could have fit in this But um, but it's a really nice sweatshirt. I wanted to point that out. Uh, a new york. I pronounce in the word idea as idea That's a pretty good idea or clear Barringers apartment you mentioned and then cop tanking out their families.

I got one more. I know you I know you picked up on this Good idea. Uh, no, it's got he barringers bachelor friend who he moves in with his apartment. We got the bunk beds Oh, yeah, check out the bathroom real nice.

Yes, but that was the end He's just like we're gonna have to figure out the uh bedroom because what does he say like Renee as a moner? Yeah, he's a screamer I had a check for like two minutes Uh great check order word. What'd you have? Uh, I love this shot of barringer on the new york 80 subway standing up I had the same thing.

I like the shot of him on the subway Yeah, yeah, really just beautiful probably spent two days storyboarding that and doing it and then gets the punch completely wrong Denithy's Benihana word uh seen some location the New York City apartment Googin high I Could cut it stood happiness the word would you go? Steve Winwood or Roberta flak at the end? I go over okay Oh category we really give to get to give out the Amanda Dobbins award for best piece of real estate Claire's apartment which I was always like I when I was doing the research for the movie I was like I can't wait to find out where they filmed this in this apartment and sadly found out that it was at Burbank's Students that they made the apartment from scratch and uh, it's upper east side is supposed to be supposed to be okay I mean, I guess I think we're gonna get spesterless there right? I guess they did a great job creating a fake New York City apartment I wasn't nightclub which is shot in the Queen Mary, but it's supposed to be a New York nightclub The chest Rockwell and Brock Landers award for best character name winhockings is the guy who gets killed at the beginning But I talked about the winhockings killing yeah Then it kind of goes zero to 60 there on him is it benzer or benza benza?

Joey benza Joey, I thought it was benza. I thought it was benza. I think you're right Um, yeah, he goes from zero to 60 pretty fast You probably noticed that the host of the party has been sat to death if you're there wondering where he's never fair He doesn't seem to think that he He's got a real like invincibility armor to him where he's just like yeah That nobody is gonna ever catch me for cold blooded first degree murder in a public place And also intimidating witnesses and taking cops family sausages and also I showed up at this party and they're like you're not allowed in And he's like okay and goes in anyway Winhockings not kind of maybe needed one more thing with win So I understand what his business interests were so and then also was he in the mafia was he Clares might be adjacent. Yeah did clear seemed like she's got that two-fisk eyes She was dating nail, but it seems like she and win had something yeah unexplored Well, we have some smoking subcategories here The Sean Penn I brought my own pack award for excellence and on-screen smoking yeah This goes to joey benza smoking while holding a 350 second magnum to a child head And then angrily throwing the cigarette so the first time we did the fugitive with green wild yeah We did this whole thing about our tourists, whatever his name is who played the one-armed man in the fugitive and and dreus cat schools Yeah, and how he was such a chains he was like this there's in the research a beloved guy on sets But was an absolute chain smoker and the scene would end and he would light it up and then he died of lung cancer But yeah, he's clear like yeah, was it cool if I smoke in the scene and they're like just actually think for a second How many hands it takes to uh take out a cigarette from a pack and light it but also Restrain a child and hold a gun to his head.

So how many hands like we're gonna I mean like it's just amazing He probably has the kid to hold the gun on himself And then we have the edie falco and coplan word for the character that got three times hotter by smoking Yeah, I thought he when she when he takes this kind of dangling from the side What do you have? Uh, you have a flex category. Did we already do it? Um, I had uh, the vincent chase award Uh, are we sure this character is actually good at this job for the new york police department?

Right, there's just like we know who killed winhockings. Yeah, you know exactly what he looks like and what he's doing But we just kind of gotta let him kind of work it out. Nobody read him is right. Yeah, when we we found venza Um, we can't protect claira shimos gets killed in the bathroom But he's in that crime in and of itself if clair's like joe venza just beat the shed of me in a bathroom Right also mirrors up there.

Yeah seems like it would be something That leads to the butchess girlfriend word for weak link of the film which is the last 10 minutes which includes decisions like Joey gets a hold of mike At a queen's party. Uh, just kind of knows he's there Fiki'd you'd be there at clair party. He did like they like what do you have like the entire world bugged? Yeah, how you doing this?

What's his strategy? So he's gonna have clair come kill clair and then he's gonna walk out. I don't know I really don't know What's what's what's mike strategy? I'm gonna bring clair.

Maybe she'll just get shot but i'll get my family back It's one way to get out of it. Where's there's check-off's gun from earlier in the movie where they're like where's the gun? He's like oh, it's in the closet. Yeah He's just gonna trade the female characters and throw in his son as a first run draft pick This is like an NFL draft trade.

He's like the Falcons moving up for pierce Um, I do like that the wife shoots uh, Joey. Yeah, and I do think it's a pretty funny tough beat for clair But this is the reason that this movie is not considered a classic because the last 10 minutes just I But this is an 80s thing sometimes they just didn't know how to end movies and they just made the movie anyway Like what are we gonna bet the ending? I don't know. It's just what is a kid nap everybody I will say it's I had it in maybe what's age the worst But we just did have a decade where like the bad guys and movies were psychos And now we try to ascribe all this like meeting and like motivation to like why bad guys and shows and movies do things Like why is he doing this back then?

It was just like the guys in command over just psycho right? Right this guy just bloodthirsty maniac What's age the worst? Clair having a painting of herself. Yeah, it's a rich person move.

I've never understood it It's like what's that? Oh, it's I had this artist come to a point of me. Yeah, oil painting of me It's more like 19th century English people did that but I don't know what he's a writer. Yeah, let's get rid of that The fake punch sound we talked about and then there's that one scene when mics in the hospital And or back who's like doesn't realize he's gonna be in crimes misdemeanors in a much better movie in two years So he's really gotta go for the Oscar and he's like is it love mike?

I hope so. Yeah, I wanted to be worth it for your sake But he's really trying to act incredible like workplace like changes over the decades is like this captain is like To tell me a little bit about the relationship you got more than just sex or what else do you have for one stage? I just I just had to focus on this sound effect I don't know why really Scott can't just go in and fix that as a digital like for two big The two be given like five thousand dollars. Yeah, not about it.

Yeah Ruffalo hand arubinic partridge over acting word that's all or also Venzo when he's like I give the order Yeah, yeah or when Ventsa first gets me any Rogers in the bathroom at the party and he the first thing he says I was like don't they work That's another like what stage of where is how does he get in that party? How does he sneak into the bathroom with nobody noticing him? He's like a wanted fugitive But he also always seems to have a tux yeah Tux killer that would have been a better idea Um, this will be good. This CR thinks Luke Wilson could have been Harrison Ford how to stake a word Yeah, I have a good one.

What do you have? I think Ventsa's the best thing that ever happened to Mike and Ellie I think that his entrance into Claire's life while dangerous and costing when Hawkins is life It just starts this snowball going downhill where Mike and Ellie they were probably head towards a life of accrimination Financial stress all this stuff struggling to make ends meet then this crazy tuxedo killer comes into the world And it shows them what's important and it probably reinvigorates their sex life Or you can say they got divorced in 12 months That's one of the two Yeah, that is it did let a little fire in them. They'll probably speak finally of them. I'm going bigger and grander I think they said all the tools much like Craig's guy tat Mcmillan Um said all the tools to be the greatest erotic thriller of all time.

Wow. Yeah, I even think it's a better blueprint than fatal attraction Okay It's it's a model that I think then got stolen by a bunch of skin and max movies where cop protecting a social I haven't but then they would actually have the sex but you have You could have a sexy in the beginning with when she's like look at my ass my ass is dropping It's like let's go at it there You're getting so excited to diagram the different places we can have humping in this movie We get a solo scene with Claire the unrequited sex thing. Yeah, she's in the bath. Okay Right further playbook, okay, so Claire rubs one out.

Yeah Deal comes over. Uh-huh. He hears the moaning we see that right We have a couple scenes with uh with Claire and mike. Uh-huh Spang nose out.

Yeah, maybe maybe one with Ellie where he's not quite he has to stop there Oh, maybe he can't get it up. Maybe or like and then some makeup sex at the end or maybe he's eight This is eight sex scenes they could have there is also though like he could have brought home like an expensive dress and dressed Ellie like Claire Oh, that would. Oh, yeah, you've never bought me a dress like this. Make sure Yeah, i'm Steve when would no, Craig am i crazy or is this have all the ingredient?

I like I like you breaking down around a floor play looks like time exchange also bursting into tears I think this could have been yeah, uh, anyway, we missed out on that. Um casting what ifs Mimi tested for both parts. Oh interesting didn't get the back apart. She brought that she wanted back more didn't get the brocco part Didn't hear from them from a little bit.

They brought her back for Claire and she did this whole Thing about how she knew it was just for Claire She tried to dress middle in the road when she was auditioning for really because she was doing both parts But for Claire the second time got this really nice dress really tried to socialize herself up and kind of have it So she got it but she also did a screen test with barynger But they had already screen test together because they both went out for body heat neither of them got it interesting. Yeah, so we're good to see again Here's the big one though Sharon stone screen tested for Claire And then it went to Mimi and then four years later flip she gets based against the meme he doesn't I'm sure the chair and stones probably got the brain into that deal. Sharon stone as Claire Is a completely different movie because I just don't think he's I don't think he's going back never queens Yeah, he's not going back But you saw what she did in basic instinct with the cop like that guys 20 minutes he's doing cocaine and since smoking say So I think that probably worked out correctly I would just throw I just I was trying to get like I was trying to figure out whether serenda would work for Claire Oh man, we really took this to the next level of Susan serrated Yeah So you know it's the rain for Claire yeah, I don't think she worked it actually would work as Ellie I think you need something more queensy than is jina Davis too young. Oh jina Davis or Melanie Griffith might have worked as Ellie Now melon Griffith you could always feel that the damage from the past in all of her parts Okay Even in like something while she's she's damaged yeah Kidman in like 95 would have been interesting.

No, I'm saying like eight years later. Okay. Oh, okay like post days of I think your Chastain one is really good. Thanks.

Yeah, that's like Chastain like maybe early mid-2010s Yeah, that's a really good one demi Moore Like maybe 93 94 disclosure range sure. I thought he was really good. Let's uh, let's take another break to regroup All right, that guy word Does Andreas Katzulis qualify anymore? He does right?

He's I mean he's definitely that guy. Yeah, only we know he's Andreas Katzulis Yeah, and then so he wins the other one would be Mark Moses for me So I have Tony di Baddeiro as TJ who also played Johnny Fingers and marked for death with Steven Seagal It's right. So he's been in two movies. He's one of those guys But yeah, Dan waiters a word.

I'm or back or back TJ possibility the cop buddy who lets Mike moving Scotty Rich cocky murder guy win hockey's Orbach I think orbach. He's like you said he's like really trying to go for it and that's he was just like Mike What is this love? Can I make the case for dis shooting someone make you hard lady? Yeah, you can she's in the movie for like a minute and a half and is great It's great when she shows up again and he's just like oh jesus grace Oh that god.

I was gonna do this later for an answer but does shooting someone make you hard? No I was afraid to google it. I didn't want to get a virus. Well, you've already got Craig googling full-body masseuse.

Yeah, I don't know It might isn't aligning super bad or he's like having a gun is like having a second cop Recasting couch director city. How about Dennis france as TJ sure let's dial it up a night Yeah, I could we find a spot for Caruso in this movie? Could Caruso and Scotty? Caruso been Mike?

A little early, right? But definitely like in in the vein of the stuff that he's gonna add He kills Venza at the end. He's like stuff a legend Yeah, we can't wear Caruso in this. Yeah, I don't know like he was in well.

He was in king of New York. That was that was uh, That was like 90 90. Yeah, it's 90. Yeah, it's 90 Craig has a flex category choice.

Can't wait for this. What is it? Greg? I'm gonna come up with a new one and it's the weirdest attempt at a human intimate moment when Tom Behringer I'm gonna give him a D-minus for his hair pulling performance of Nimi Rogers in that weird sex moment Yeah, it's like he's checking to see if she's wearing a wig Or a wire ripping out the side of her hair.

It's bizarre So weirdest seduct- I'm trying to think what that category would be It's kind of like the uh- Be a Michael Douglas dancing with Roxy Roxy our girl Roxy could have been oh my god. Anybody like a friend of Ellie's? Yeah Half-assernate research you mentioned the Queen Mary thing. I kind of did all my research.

I had a lot of Mimi Rogers research I don't really have any extra stuff. Uh Apex Mountain Behringer. I think it's platoon. Well, this is 87 So like it's platoon.

Oh, so you're saying like this 12-month period? Yes, you're right Mimi Rogers. She's the star of this movie that they're pushing the hell out of it and she's married to Tom Cruise I feel like it probably is You know the great Bobby Wagon as to why they hadn't worked together yet I was thinking she could have easily been the Gina Gershine role in a cocktail. They wanted to work together.

Yeah, but she wasn't Brocko. No, we said it was uh good fellows. Yes, not surprise. No our tourists Fugitive Ridley Scott gladiator.

It's definitely not this definitely not this. Yeah Um, someone to watch over me renditions in a movie. I mean when you have three of them I think I think it's got to be a pecs mountain counter Um mr. Hans Opus Rowena sings someone to watch over me and Richard Dreyfus's wife realizes that maybe something's going on there and she has that great performance So that might be that's I mean you have three of them in this but that's probably more famous movie I would say it's probably that movie Queens movies and Queens We're the competitions.

Well, I mean like a lot of good fellows takes place in Queens, right? But people think of good fellows as a Queens movie Queens Boulevard It's Jesus I was just reading the uh I just caught up on the Seth Rogan vs. Doug Allen blood feud for the last 20 years that the studio reignited this week, huh? Craig are you familiar with this?

Yeah, they hate each other and Seth Rogan wrote a Simpsons episode that like shits on entourage and they've just been going because he was gonna be turtle, right? He was the one who wanted to go shot in it Yeah, he took a shot at entourage and then there's a 2009 entourage episode that starts with The characters talking about knocked up for like a minute and turtles like I don't understand that guy's so ugly How does he land Catherine Heigle? He's so ugly. They're just like saying how ugly he's 45 minutes seconds Um, so it's still going.

Uh, greek queens movie is coming to America. That's the best Queens movie. I think you're right Um apex mountain for the googinheim What are the other candidates? Well, just like I guess the googinheim is just great existing would probably be bigger than being in But in a movie no in a movie.

I can't remember another googinheim scene actually The only other one I had for apex mountain was rich hot socialite characters The platonic ideal with that is I don't remember that Guginheim is that's probably the apex rich rich hot socialite characters in a movie Really needs to go up a notch No, I think I think talented Mr. Ripley is is hot social. Oh, Gwyneth paltrow's character. Yeah, that's pretty good.

Yeah, I like that Cruz or hanks Yeah Although it would be pretty funny if Cruz was playing Mike and instead of the sex scene they're just laughing in bed after Came into player He spills like a cranberry juice on the side table and then just laugh when he trips over to me skateboard. He's like Tommy Skating. Yeah, I go hanks too Scorsese or Spielberg is a little more interesting to make the case for both. Yeah, I mean the material would lend itself Probably more to Scorsese.

I think especially at this time cocaine gets involved with my guy Yeah, I think Mike and Scotty have a team of their son of thunder and the bunk beds He's on one Scott. He's on the other. Yeah, she's a screber. What role would Philip Seymour Hoffman have played?

He could be when Hawking. She could talk me into you could talk me into a kneel. I'm gonna go with Coons the cop at the studierry Oh, she's randomly thrown in there. Yeah Picking it's What the fuck is Venza doing like what is the plan?

Is he kys or so say like how is he just got He runs rough shot. First of all, what is Venza made his money doing? Is he the mob? Is he in the mafia?

Yeah, it seems like he's one of the preeminent mafia people in New York Also, he's now slumminate just trying to kill this one lady and doesn't have other people trying to kill her because the beginning of the movie It's basically he has given probably dirty money to win. Hawking's to open this club or to do whatever he's done And now when is buying him out? He's like I want to be bought out. So he just kills win But he murders a guy in cold blood tries to intimidate a witness Gets caught at the googgenheim doing it again.

Yeah Yeah, but like why is any free like they're like yeah, he's free you didn't read him is right So now he's out is he out on bailers? He just out is the case I don't understand what and there's no district attorney in New York It's something unlike any of this like what this is what we got to do here And then if he's out, why does he have to kill her and for what it's worth as people have pointed out on the internet actually like once The witness protection takes place over a couple more than a day or something the FBI takes you doing like a secure location She would not be like I'm at my apartment going out in New York City a lot. Oh people on the internet pointed that out That's pretty good. I didn't see that.

That's a pretty good point. Yeah. Yeah, she would be in a motel somewhere in like, you know, hack and sack New Jersey waiting for trial Like his to death when they take his family because he decides to go and a movie that you won't see because it's not a fucking to be fuck you to be More picnics Claire would never be with Neil Neil sucks. Yeah, I didn't really have to establish that Neil is worth like a cajillion dollars And it's like a minority owner of the New York Giants or something.

I need I need way more ammo Yeah, I need way more ammo that he was he just blows. There's nothing cool I have to travel for work. It's like your girlfriend is under constant threat from yeah, just stick around. Yeah Oh, and he's got this handsome cop who's gonna protect her and he's like, I've got to go to Angola.

I'll be back Um Claire says to mike at one they nailed the social eight rich person stuff with Claire. It's really great But then she says I have to go for a p So mike. I just don't think she would say that no she was like I have to stop by the ladies room She would just be classer. I don't think she would say also mike would probably just stand outside the ladies room Do you know what I mean?

Like it wouldn't be like, oh cool. You yeah, I'm just gonna get a drink and yeah Talk to the lady who asked if I get hard when I shoot people Why uh, why doesn't Joey just murder Claire in the bathroom? I don't know it's the two of them. He murdered win hockey.

He killed win hockey. He will later almost kill a small child He could have just stabbed Claire in the bathroom and left he could have done the shot car just quick 20 quick kidney shots Once that he screamed you don't say a word. Yes, it makes a lot of noise And then smears lipstick over her face and then runs out so he can get arrested. It's fucking shot color Sequel prequel press needs to be all black cast are untouchable.

I think I'm all good. You're good It's a do you know what I mean? Like I don't even touch about it. So I'm gonna like the next part of the category I don't need to see How Claire got here?

I there's no character in this where I'm like what was I other than Joey Venza There's nobody else that like I'm like we need more of this Can I make the prestige t-shirts? But it would be like that would be the kind of show that we would watch the first episode and be like this fucking rules And then it would be like episode six and Joey Venza would be like square garden to do something What the shit is going on? You don't think this could have been an apple show apple love like It would be terrible by the fifth episode. I don't know we can learn more about the queens some of the cops Scottie's divorce the moner And then the twist would be that it turns out to be was what we killed with hockey Craig would you watch someone to watch over me on apple?

You just want more moments for erotic real estate Yeah, you just want you just want more machines. It's like a star show Is there are not really that many erotic shows on tv stars had that show where it's like the couples that live next to each other in a house And it's like a it seems like a Visimally erotic throw show I never watched I got it. I know what you're talking about. I really like stars Is this movie better with Wayne Jenkins Danny trail doris berg same jacks and nail buyer male barny cousins Tony roma harley mays Henry hill added Henry hill chris consworth daniel playing view long legs or wolf or brinley from the firm Goddamn Andreas I know i was working with a two-armed man thought much like Tobias harris you can't go left Turns out you can kill the name of a classic or contract law You better stop intimidating witnesses or sergeant parts is good to sit you away long.

Fuck it down big boy That was a really good one. I'm not gonna be gonna do mine. You don't want to do dv it off just because it's playoff times I don't think prepared how is dv is she been doing this aldex? dv when mike's walk in the streets of New York.

I see you mike battling this moral conscience of marriage versus adultery Um just want to ask her who gets it? Uh, I think rocka. She's really good. Yeah, great.

It's pretty actress. It's great I have some really good probably answerable questions. How loaded was clear Yeah, that's like a generational wealth we're talking about right like she's doing what's going on here Do you think that she's like a like a she like a master family money? She talks about she's like I have to go to this thing because my dad funded this school and dad husband queens divorce How old do we think she is?

I think it's family money. I think it's like 3132 in real life when she films this probably Probably engaged once. Mm-hmm Um in the inner 20s and the engagement got broken off and you think Neil is kind of snooping around there I think Neil is like a rich guy but doesn't make her toes curl. Yeah, um she's I feel like I know she had a bad relationship in Neil's the rebound to safe kind of like he's he's Some guy for five years, but it's somehow didn't work out I feel like she probably is supposed to be like a mary.

Aster kind of like, you know, what does she do for living do we think? Socialite slash maybe owns an arc out of a charitable foundation. That's charitable stuff. The dad is probably Probably not alive anymore because I feel like he would have gotten involved in his daughter's name on a bunch of buildings probably Yes, maybe the parents are dead.

Maybe they died in a small helicopter crash should the early 80s have sex Yeah, that's the first thing the radical are they should have hung up there But yeah, so she probably no parents engaged Um inherited all this wealth and money's just no object at all times Yeah, but it's just like she doesn't there's no feeling into it like she's she's not getting any juice from it But people like that they sometimes how are they gonna meet people they're so intimidated it's like a princess decor Larry Yeah, or or the tiger woods is ex-wife when she was smoking hot and inherited most days money and everybody was afraid to date her for like four years Right. I forgot to do that. Yeah, sometimes that happens Uh, which needs to be my next thing is a question Claire one of the great catches in movie history and actually just off to euro You know did anyone check more boxes than Claire I mean, just I think she would just be difficult to approach You know you're just if you bump into her at the oak bar at the oak room Yeah, you really have to have a lot of coffee. Yes, and probably some deep wallets I feel like crank could maybe hang for like an hour crank is you hang with an hour single crank?

Yeah, I talk about tet Draft stuff talk about the dannies. Um She'd love to hear about the dannies Tell me more about life. It's just a good chemistry So yeah, let's see the others in Seattle while you showed just in what I do Why so she did a foot draft lady My last answer. Well, this is a really good one Great movie breakups where it's just like i'm not sure this person's gonna be the same anytime soon Yeah, this is way up there.

What it what do Claire's next three boyfriends look like after this Oh, and she's been murdered over an Italian count next like there's she's got to go for the stars next Well, it's like when he and half away when she was dating that guy that I think she was engaged to And he was that rich Italian dude, but then it turned out he was a complete phony Con artist and then it was like what it like after that. Who do you? Yeah, who should go to ria after that? But yeah, that's to meet somebody like you're just like I never want to meet anyone again.

Yeah, um, I just don't know what her next three Look like probably like I think she goes super old. It would be great if she was like if she dated like Wally backman next It's way good Yeah, that's a pretty good thing. Yeah, I'm dating Gerald Wilkins. He's on the next he's the star to guard Uh, does the want in a word what happened the next day Mike and Ellie breakup?

He's made destitute by the divorce has to pick up another job working security and dies of a heart attack Smoky heavily. Yeah, I have the same what piece of memorabilia would you want or not want from this movie? I definitely would not want the bunk bed in Scotty's bachelor bad. Um, I love when he's like, yeah bunk bed, you know kids I would like the jet sweatshirt to give it to Sean.

I think of the federal head that or the type But the jet sweatshirt. I wonder if it's findable on eBay the coach been stuck or work for best life lesson What the hell is so great about being married marriage is an idea whose time has come and gone is an actual quote in this movie Yeah from Scotty. What do you think about uh, uh, I was gonna say like I was trying to articulate the like like is it is it good that? Mike cops to the falling for claire to Ellie Like could he have just played that like yeah, look it's good.

I don't think he wants to she kind of breaks him down She doesn't he like he's clearly he can't he's got contact with her. Yeah. Well, I think that was such good relationship He doesn't want to hide stuff from her. So I interpreted it.

Um, yeah, I think that the marriage was a good play for us Best double future choice. I jagged edge So 87 just again the to be that greatest almost like how the NBA was that was one of the best NBA years I had black widow But you also could talk me to fatal traction jagged edge or a couple other movies from that But I think it has to be another 87 movie to get because I had black widow because that's another movie I think that would also might be a to be movie black nose Deborah winger and uh to re-soresel Yeah, the jagged edge is a couple of years before glen close plays a lawyer. Oh, right. That's 85 Yeah, um, but I think suspect is 87 which is another one Dennis quaid and share another to be all star But uh black widow It's another one where the first 90 percent of the movie is awesome.

I know last time in it's like what the fuck Yeah, that's the end date. Well, this is the thing with someone to watch over me is a way better midlife crisis movie than it is a cop movie Yeah Really tough one who won the movie? I think it's a push among the actors. It would be kind of crazy to give it to braco.

So i'm gonna go riddly I think it's me me or braco But I think it's me because this movie left me wishing she to somewhere Yeah braco got to be in some good stuff. Me me. It's like what? Just felt like there was more there.

Maybe there could have been some because I could she have been the lead of law and order svu for like 25 Years she was like a great poker player too. Yeah, I mean, maybe she was fascinated by her Taken down big pots. Maybe we just need to have her watchable. Yeah, figure out what's going on with her All right, this is really really exciting craig had no idea what this movie was which thank craig I don't know what it says about me that now i'm like my naughty report not for me and then this movie i'm like pretty good I'm just into this now block you guys have converted me.

Do you think you like it more now after bill started crying laughing talking about all the Please that they could have fought. Yeah, I love that Valerie has my back. Yeah, my ass is not as tight as it used to be jumping there Perfect. Yeah, let me build yourself a steam up.

Yeah. I don't know these do it for me now It's like scouting out do a car is boring. I want like a fourth round tackle out of chat nuga You know and that's what this movie is it's a couple square short of 80s movie bingo But it hits a lot of them, you know, you get the the love triangle You got like the twangy guitar sound like in between scenes you got the dance club I think this is hairdo apex mountain. Yeah, this is the way LeBron and Bosch big three of hairdos.

I don't know three of them The best mom hair i've ever seen it's like bordering on marge simpson. Yeah, yeah, um, but it's just no gratuitous nudity We have to have that no sex scene. It's a huge miss. I was always wondering if I was watching the tv cut Yeah, I was like did I admit like is there really no nudity in this movie?

I mean there's like a bear baringer ass Yeah, because I think I honestly don't understand it really like I think he was trying to make it very tasteful Like he's not really like a big crazy nudity So gurney weaver at the end of a lien's in her underwear me and roger's just like in a turtleneck the whole day, right? Right Well, it's an interesting choice because like me me's tall and she's I would I'll say the word bucks them And they really try to hide her close the entire movie We you don't know it because it's all about like her hair and her face I was like what is it? I guess it must be like falling you work I mean like it's appropriate for like the weather and like that's why we needed the jet scene We needed a jet scene get it if Mike takes it clear to the jets Oh my god I wanted to show you some of my worlds So we're gonna sit next to fireman and watch gas It'll be some kid of Johnny Lam Jones Jersey throws up next to her Booty govit late Mike is really borderline concussed when she's like you want to go grab a drink He like sits there and thinks about it for 15 seconds. Yeah, he's like cocktails, huh?

Yeah, I'm like what's my steel let's go have those cocktails should this would have been a good category should Mike have had a mustache Mmm, would you give him a new york? Earlier he showed up, but this was 87. We're getting towards the 90s. So I think guys were yeah that category We have about did this movie need a sports scene this movie so clearly needs a jet scene with him going to the jets with three of his buddies Not with Claire, but when they're like so Mikey what's going on with you in that rich broad?

It would be funny if there was like a Tommy skateboarding sequence where he's like doing all these tricks and stuff But Mike's just daydreaming about nailing Tommy breaks an ankle. I would like to say good morning to me Rogers. I was unfamiliar with her game Yeah, yeah, so what do you think were you surprised that this was basically the best movie she's been in? Yeah, her name is a name I've always known but I could never put a face to it or I could not have told you a movie She's in and she I mean she's out there.

It's an incredible. Can't believe her and Cruz were a couple No, I didn't really know that or I think that's why I only knew her name from that but I know she looked like her Lot of teeth for both of them the kids would have been really interesting probably super handsome Anyway, all right Craig Corbitt producer Jack Sanders is well back there. See our Chris Ryan One for us when we'll start doing some bigger ones after this episode, but we had to squeeze this on good CCR
