Still in on The Last of Us?

Yeah, still in.

Heard shit's going down on that.

It's all going down.

Yeah, nobody's safe.

Nobody's safe.

It's a nobody's safe show.

How about Andor?

Are you going to check that out?

You keep telling me to.

Yeah.

A novelistic approach to the Star Wars galaxy.

I just want to see John Hamm steal from his friends.

That's where that's where I am TV-wise.

My name is Bill Simmons.

CR and I have been doing, we did the first rewatchables ever.

It started in my

pool house.

This might be the last one.

Every once in a while, we do a one for us.

We've been circling this for a while.

But really,

Tubi.

who is not a sponsor of this podcast.

And I'm mad at Tubi because they won't give us kiss of death and they they can actually fuck off.

So this is not a sponsor.

But every once in a while, Tubi understands us and they kept shoving someone to watch over me.

Yeah.

Always, hey, have you heard about this movie?

It's like, now that I heard about this movie, I've seen it 30 times.

And we said, fuck it.

We're doing the rewatchables.

It's next.

An unwilling witness.

I never saw anybody killed before.

I've never been a detective before.

Undeniable attraction.

You get off this case or you don't come home.

Unforeseen danger.

I know you have a wife.

I'm not asking for anything.

But I'm scared.

A classic thriller with a twist of romance.

Someone to watch over me.

Rated R.

Special advanced 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 rewatchables.

Mid-budget action movie I've never heard of with a big director and some has-been actors.

Yeah.

Well, for Craig, it are has-beens.

For us, they were the big, beautiful faces on screen.

They were wases.

They were is-es.

They were gonna be's.

Uh,

so I have the flawed rewatchables checklist because we've had some flawed rewatchables.

We've done a lot of ones for us.

8mm, probably one of my favorites.

You just got to meet the machine.

You want to talk about that?

Machine.

You know, I really,

I really, I really blew it by not saying, machine, love your work.

Because I kind of froze.

I think Chris Bauer, who plays Machine, was so stunned that I opened with, I love 8mm.

What did he, well, literally, what did he say when you said that?

He was just, because i'm sure these guys sabaka he gets a lot of stuff he must get a lot of sabaka he was still i know he was yeah a lot of who knows yeah um maybe he was 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 going to say yes is it okay if I had a great time the entire time and then the ending fell apart and I'm not going to hold it against the movie?

And then is it okay if an excellent director said,

plot schmott.

I care more about how this looks.

What are their flawed rewatchables like things where you're just like, I'm just going to 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 people.

Oh, just random guys.

Yeah, random guys.

I think someone to watch over me has a bunch of really random choices by random actors yeah where you're like why are you bringing this energy to this scene my man and it's like doesn't matter you're dead anyway right

i love that i think a lot of faces so someone to watch watch over me has you'll see like oh there's jerry orbach there's there's mark moses like a lot of guys that are just kind of floating around in there and i i gotta 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.

Well, we'll talk 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 Tubi last week because I couldn't find anything, and it was like 11:30 at night.

I was doing my classic, I'm not quite tired enough yet, any movie.

And I just put it on and then ended up watching the whole thing.

And that was when I texted you after.

I was like, It's we just got to bang this out, so I can stop watching this.

But I think the number one reason I'm, I like this movie is because I'm just, I saw this movie when I was probably a senior in high school.

I just love Mimi Rogers in this movie.

And I don't, we can have the whole Mimi Rogers conversation later, but this Claire character is so compelling.

But then we also have this Lorraine Bracco.

This is the thing is that I feel like you and I are Wilbon and Kornheiser here, where I'm like, that's your girl, Mimi Rogers.

But I'm like mesmerized by Lorraine Bracco in this movie.

Yeah, who, when this movie came out, nobody knew who she was.

It was a complete out of nowhere.

And it was a complete out of nowhere for Mimi Rogers.

And the only person we had a history with was Behringer.

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 queen's hot.

Yeah.

A queen's eight.

She's queen's nine and a half.

And

And then he's with Mimi Rogers, and he goes into her world for five seconds.

And he's like, this is Princess Diana.

Yeah.

And he's just battling that.

But I think the 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 off the hardest thing you can pull off.

Somebody's doing something terrible, but you can kind of see it and you're not holding against them.

Isn't this why we love this like 85 to 95, 97 run where you get

all these like erotic thrillers and indie movies, like where it's body, double, body, heat, sea of love, big easy, fatal attraction, sex lies, and 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 cop movie happening around it.

But what you're there for is this guy's midlife crisis and this crossroads that he comes 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 the genre.

Fatal Attraction, which comes out the same year.

This is just, and this is probably Tubi's greatest year, 87.

They should just have one of the categories should be.

And by the way, this is not an ad for Tubi because they can fuck off because they haven't given us kiss of death yet.

But they can 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.

Don't have that martini with her.

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 two because two, it gets a little chaotic.

The one kid they can both have the relationship with, he'll 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 Ameebee Rogers or crazy Glenn Close with her hair.

There's he's kind of,

you know, this is, he's settled into whatever his life's going to be, but there's that small piece of him 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 Barrager's character, Mike Geegan.

He's got this duplex in 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 is

charming, but like a little like, man, we're really like living on top of each other.

We're cramped in 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 overdoes it.

He does it by visually showing you what a completely different universe this guy is in.

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, he's able to elevate it, I think.

think.

So off of what you just said, Mimi Rogers had this quote.

Ridley Scott is the most visual director I've ever worked with.

He actually paints with light and with lenses and with angles, and it's a very unique process.

It becomes an element of the story because Ridley creates such a strong mood with his visuals.

And she was saying like, he almost cared more about how something looked

than

what the actors were doing.

And she was saying, there was that YouTube interview.

I did a Mimi Rogers deep dive.

Our girl Bobby Wygant, who had these weird interviews in Dallas, where they just keep the cameras rolling even before the interview starts.

It's just like a tiny bit of a damn thing.

And you just see them awkwardly 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 sinner's cast and they're like, do your favorite dogs reverse rank for five

creativity while eating your favorite snack.

Blind chicken wigs.

But you're answering for Haley Steinfeld.

It's just like, okay, man.

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 an actual question Bobby Wackett answered.

Is it hard to kiss someone you're not married to?

Right, right.

So it's a lot of stuff like that.

But Mimi Rogers said, Yeah, I cut when my hair is shorter, it gets fluffier.

But Ridley wanted me to put these little blonde highlights in it.

So my hair is a little lighter because so much of what we filmed that night was in the dark

and a dark, like shadows, all this stuff.

And he wanted the light to hit the highlights of my hair.

And it's like, Ridley 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 paid tribute to 40s and 50s noira movies,

but also

brings like his very modern, very commercial sensibility.

A lot of people and I have talked about how, you know, you'll watch a Ridley 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-ifs casting what-ifs stuff, like we can talk about whether this would be a cooler Tony Scott movie that way more action.

We have three more action scenes.

But really like is also really, really good at like locations.

So like picking a place to set action that just feels like the apartment, the Guggenheim, the nightclub.

Like

he's just fantastic at like being like.

Or Beringer walk in the streets.

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 with sunlight streaming off.

You got to jump in the room.

Yeah, there's nobody.

Nobody's going to stab you.

He was in, I think think it was like the third or fourth premiere magazine ever i'm gonna show it on camera because we're now a video podcast where yeah check him out like now he's he looks like logan roy now but back then uh younger but he wrote this piece about why he wanted to make this movie and he was coming off the duelist movie that you and sean

we might have to re-watchables that one at some point sure um blade runner he did legend he he he felt like he was alien.

He felt like he was becoming pigeonholed as this kind of like grand idea, you know, sci-fi alien, whatever.

And he really just, he said, someone to 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 in like 1986.

You have this like this Ridley Scott showing up.

It's just like, hey, can I just watch you guys interact 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 decades to come for Blade 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 going to make a mind-altering masterpiece.

But he just really likes working.

and he really likes, he still does.

I mean, he's still in a soda burger, knocking out two movies a year, practically.

So, this is kind of like an interesting thing.

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 piqued 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 and somebody going between these two worlds.

And he was like,

He said, This is another quote he had: I wanted to create that dilemma in the central character's mind by giving 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 Mimi 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, and you're like, oh man, Mimi's got you.

You love a taste of the classy lady.

Brock Ellie's 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, he's like, that's what I mean.

Behringer.

Big chill.

Eddie and the Cruisers.

I'm going to look in the camera for this one.

Fuck you again, Tubi, because Eddie and the Cruisers, you assholes.

We do your movies, then you put them on the main screen, and you won't give us Eddie and the Cruisers and kiss to death.

Fuck off.

Platoon, someone to watch over me.

And then has this 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 10 years.

Couple of more Westerns.

Like he has a really great Westerns 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 Wyatt Earth, man.

I think that he had.

Like, could he have been Untouchables guy instead of Costner?

I feel like there's parts of that.

No, because you look at Tom Barringer and you see,

you see the kind of guy who would be like, you know what, maybe I am going to leave my wife.

Costner never would do that.

Costner is this angelic kind of of like i'm entirely dedicated to amy madigan or patricia clarkson or whoever he's it with in the movie tom behringer is kind of like whoa is that guy still at the bar okay you're right

you're going home no dark like a tiny dark yeah yeah

i don't know i i 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 actor's look.

So he can't really, he can't really be Richard Gere, for instance, right?

Right.

It's probably closer to like Sam Shepard.

Well, probably almost more like Don Johnson, like Sonny Crockett, like those kinds of

movie star, like, I mean, like, his face is like, his demeanor is like really like a movie star.

But in Big Chill, he plays like Sam, the fucking Magnum Piaget.

He's supposed to be Tom Selleck or whatever.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I liked him.

I thought he was really good at editing the cruisers too.

Shoot to Kill.

Really weird movie.

It was sold as Poitiers, like

kind of comeback, mainstream comeback movie.

it's actually a good one that's another like classic that's probably

oh yeah okay oh i have i i i think platoon's re-watchable i do too it's not a fun hang i'm asking you yeah yeah don't you think yeah but he's extraordinary in platoon he's extraordinary he's great and by the way charlie sheen's really good and so is defoe it's really cool that ridley scott got to like watch an earlier version of platoon because he was thinking about captain behringer he had been inspired by the big chill because he liked his tough guy look in that movie, but saw him in platoon and 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 Beringer.

I don't know.

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 there's 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 TV.

Yeah.

But Behringer is one of those.

I felt like that was one level higher.

That is a good point.

Is that I probably for in our head, we're like, well, Beringer, why didn't you just make a Taylor Sheridan show?

But there weren't Taylor Sheridan shows, you know, like Behringer would be basically going up against the same 10 stars for these movies, but he would not want to go down and play Sam alone.

Like, you know, he's, he's not going to go back down to television.

once you're in the movies back then.

What was the one he made?

Was it the substitute?

Yeah.

He's making like B movies by the, by the way.

when he became a b movie guy i gotta say i really really enjoyed that beharinger era well i liked sniper a lot yeah yeah sniper'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 joe house in boston we were like we're sharing stone season tickets at that point and he's in that

And he just looked, it looked like he had aged 20 years from someone to watch over me.

And that movie came out, I think, six years after.

And it was like, wow, Beringer.

Yeah.

What happened to this guy?

But he might have led a, might have led a semi-hard life.

He had a, he had a two-episode cheers run, too.

Did he?

Yeah.

When?

1993, the last year.

Yeah, so he ends up, it's basically by the time we get to the 90s, all the substitute's 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 into someone to watch a remote,

well, you're just like,

these women should be throwing themselves at this guy.

Berenger, it's like, this guy hit the lottery.

He has the best wife and queens,

but he somehow has like drawn the eye of Mimi Rogers' character, who's in this vulnerable state because Joey fucking Lanza is running after her.

Right.

Lorraine, sorry.

Lorraine Bracco, first movie.

She's phenomenal.

And then then Scott said this was the hardest part to cast.

Did we have a couple casting widows with that too?

It's so funny to watch this now, knowing she's going to be Karen in three years.

Karen!

That was all the money we had.

But they were going to find it.

She gets a little, they were going to find it in this.

Well, I did some Bracco research.

Bracco?

Brocco.

I did some Bracco research,

and I didn't realize she was a model.

Like, they kind of ugly her up in this movie.

They give her like the worst possible hairdo.

But then they make her look, finally, she looks really good in that restaurant scene when she confronts Behringer's character.

But

they definitely, no makeup.

She's just looking like Super Queen's housewifey.

But I didn't realize she had this whole modeling career.

And then Goodfellows takes off.

And then she's in our lives through Goodfellows and the Sopranos, 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, a part that in the wrong hands might have not been because, 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 it, I think that it'd be very easy for that to be like, oh man, drop the wife.

Let's go.

Yeah, let's go.

Well, let's talk, Mimi.

There's a lot of Mimi stuff going on during this movie because she's met Tom Cruise, who is in Legend.

And I think.

I think they're married when the movie comes out.

I'm not sure if they were married when they were making it.

But

I'm just going to do this now because I think she's one of the most fascinating deep dive random actresses you're going to find.

Graduated from high school at age 14.

Oh, wow.

We're doing the whole biography.

Screen tested for body heat, lost to 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 Emilio Estevez, 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 ex-husband 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 kirsty alley yeah they're first working out there's a lot going on here cr like a lot and i sent you that bobby wagan interview and and bobby asks mimi about tom cruise and like

so you were married to tom cruise and mimi like immediately and this is they were married for two more years after the interview mimi immediately it's like hey we're not gonna gets weird and she's like do you think you'll ever be in a movie with tom and mimi's like yeah maybe just frozen smile and it's like man this is a weird relationship.

But that's kind of what she became known for.

I feel like there was more there.

More there for Mimi Rogers's career?

Yeah.

Just, and then there's, there's another Casting Wood If where she lost basic instinct to Sharon Stone.

Oh, yeah.

I forgot about that.

I don't know.

Why didn't it happen for her?

I don't know.

I mean, 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 the Tom Cruise thing.

Yeah.

She became a little bit more walled off.

I thought that would be my guess.

She had a cool movie.

I can't remember the last time I saw it, but I remember.

The rapture.

I was going to 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 in Bulldurm or something like that.

Like there were definitely roles out there that she could have been in Thelma Louise, baby.

She was a good talk show guest, too.

She kind of go through the circuit.

She's in this, it got really weird for her by the mid-90s.

She's in this masseuse movie with Coghlin from Cocktail Brian Brown,

and he's just massaging her.

She's naked, like half the movie.

It's like

it's like cocktail, but it's for masseuse's.

No, okay.

I'm just saying, Coghlan's in it.

Okay, and it's like a weird massage movie.

And uh, okay, yeah,

um, wait, what's it called?

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 going to find this weird massage movie.

So I'm going to 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.

Mimi Rogers Brian Brown.

Maybe it was for like Showtime.

Full body massage.

Full body massage.

Literally the name of the movie.

A successful but world-weary art dealer finds out that her usual

massor 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 Skinemax movie?

Nicholas Rogue, director, your guy.

But why is it called full body massage?

I'm just, listen, I'm just the messenger.

Okay.

This stuff's just out there.

Just got to find it.

But

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 needs saving.

Like, who's this person now?

Because you have to be.

There's a difference between, oh, she's a rich lady and the way they do this character.

Jessica Chastine.

That's a good one.

It's beyond rich.

She is in a world that she only deals with a few people.

She has conversations with the most dressed up.

Like that party scene is so key in the beginning.

Everyone's dressed up.

The conversations they have, it's almost like another language.

And she just moves in these circles.

It's like the limo driver's 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 she pulls it off.

Like

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 Keegan character in her life, because like for one thing, she's got this like nebish boyfriend, but for the other, like, she's finally been shown the outside world, like outside of her penthouse, outside of like the limo that can attack her, that can get to her.

So, like, she does a really good job grounding it.

Someone to watch over me.

I could just tell you're a team Bracco.

Yes, yeah, okay.

Someone to watch over me, George Gershwin, your guy.

Double G.

One of the best to ever tickle the ivory.

They play this song three times.

Sting

to get him for the start.

Yeah.

That's the opening credits.

Roberta Flack heard over the end credits, not available on Spotify or on the platform for some reason.

Do you like the Sting version or the Roberta Flack version better?

I'm going to 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 album for because it's the same song a bunch of times.

The opening reminds me a lot.

It's like the New York version of the Lethal Weapon opening.

Oh, yeah.

Night City.

I would say it's a most rewatchable scene, how they do it.

But

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 crown.

And then they say versions of the title of the movie multiple times.

I'm going to watch over you tonight.

Thank you for watching over me.

Yeah.

Congratulations.

One of the great songs.

written by Howard Franklin, Franklin.

So, Ridley follows Blade Runner with Legend, Someone to Watch Over Me,

Black Rain,

which has been circled for a while, and then uh, Thelma and Louise, which I'm not positive we've ever done.

Thelma, I don't think we've done it.

We've never done it.

Oh my god,

wow,

12.8 million made 10.3 million.

A rewatchable loser, Craig, a box office, it's It's really hard to lose money on 12.3 million.

This is how you know it's a one for us.

The movie lost money, and Roger Ebert gave it to me.

You're going to put up the image where it's like, Come in Monday, and it's just going to be Behringer, and people are going to be like, Seriously, what the fucking movie is?

These fucking guys.

I can't even reverse Google image search.

This I'm trying to think what the meanest things will be, but it'll probably be a lot of, I thought we were 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

this whole thing about high-concept movies.

Once you master the concept, there's nothing left for the movie.

Movies like this are on automatic pilot.

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.

Raj.

Got a little feisty at the end.

Pauline Kale said, 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.

It's kind of needed big heaping helping us settle down, juice, just in general.

Just pour it in the morning like green juice.

Settle down, Pauline.

Take it with your meta-musil.

All right, we're going to take a break and come back and do most rewatchables.

Most re-watchable scene.

Opening credits mentioned that.

Sting still had his voice in 87.

He did.

He still hit the notes.

Did he lose it?

You think?

Uh, yeah.

Okay.

By probably mid-90s.

Can't hit those notes.

Isn't he doing like Fields of Gold in the 90s?

And that was about it.

The Fields of Golds album, I think, was it.

Elton lost it.

People, 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.

Police are good.

Yeah.

I love the police.

I bet you do.

You've mentioned that before, and it also seems like you're kind of band.

Not in a

pejorative way.

Love them.

Well, I like that they were like six years done.

Yeah.

And hated each other.

Hated each other's guts.

There was great background, deep dive stuff once the internet ran into shape.

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 that 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.

Tom DeVedo is like, I'll try it.

I'll try it.

Nice.

Most re-watchable scene.

The opening cop party.

Yeah.

I have this in Woodstage the best as well.

I don't know what it is because Copland has this too.

Some of these other ones, these cop movies set in like Jersey or New York or wherever.

I just like hanging out with cops.

All day party, too.

Maybe not when Karen Reed's involved, but for the most part, it seems like a fun hang.

Maybe not at three in the morning at Attleboro.

But for the most part, fun hangs.

Did you notice, though, that it starts in the afternoon and then it's like two in the morning and they're still at the house?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

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 storytelling, though, 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 and 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 cop ball busting at parties just for the ringer?

For us.

Yeah, it's like, Chris, look at this dude with a big promotion.

Hey,

Jack Sanders running the big pick now.

Look at this guy.

That would be good.

But that's that's like basically all the dialogue.

Swedish HR law.

Yeah, I gotta, I'll check out the Sweets.

But I like those cop scenes.

Beringer's first day when they're walking around the incredible Claire apartment.

Next rewatchable scene.

And he gets lost, but ends up in the closet.

Lieutenant.

Detective.

I um

I hope you understand how upsetting this is.

Yes, ma'am, I do.

And the way she handles it,

you're just like, whoa, this is a lady that has

talked down to a lot of people that has

like levels of them.

Yeah.

She's just like, this is really upsetting for me.

I hope you understand how upsetting this is for me.

Really good stuff.

All right.

Now we're cooking with gas because claire has to go out mike has to go with her

they're going to the guggenheim we go tie shopping everyone knows her big partner

well if you're going to be my escort you need a new tie

perfect all right i'll take it i i i get my no no my account yes miss cracker

if we had more time i'd work on the suit too

Buzz him the new tie.

If I had more time, I'd work on the suit too.

Now we're getting a little flirty.

The tie also really brings his outfit together.

She's right.

It's great.

Yeah, the paisley tie is whatever, but like 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 a tie.

It's fun.

Make it.

I'm making the case for Mike as it's going.

It's like, ah, 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 Piven's like, Mike, my daughter gave me a price.

He's like, I don't know.

Give me that.

We also have some ball busted with the I'm on duty.

What kind of duty?

Jigalo.

Yeah.

I loved Claire's friends fishing for info at the party.

I could have watched the scene for 20 more minutes.

What does the old one say?

Like, don't you have he has really nice eyes?

Yeah, yeah.

Who have you been hiding from us?

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 to this thing and hanging out with the rich people yeah and it's just another example of him being like kind of overwhelmed by architecture first in claire's apartment but he walks into the guggenheim and he's just like it's also awesome uh chase uh location because of the spiral hallway right in the guggenheim so when he goes after uh venza

the lady comes up to him and says does 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 this up, and then he chases him out.

And I like when Behringer does a,

he's got that

cop voice.

But this whole scene is lights out.

Next one I have is Ellie finds out Mike went to a party with Claire and that she bought her a tie.

Yeah.

Really good Brocco.

Claire asked Mike on his last day to go for a drink.

So they go to like Bemmelman's or someplace, like where 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, so 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 like a personality, experiential, soul level.

It's more just like, we're two people who are currently trying to escape our immediate circumstances.

And it's very present tense.

Like, it's not going to work.

You're not going to 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.

Something in a good category.

Should this character have had one cigarette?

I have some cigarette rewards coming.

Could there have been an elegant smoking scene for her?

I think that there would have been a cigarette out of just pure tension.

Just like I stopped smoking.

Maybe in the...

Yeah.

On the other hand, she's too classy to smoke.

I like when they're in the, when they, he gives her the coat.

Feels like they're going to fuck.

We're in the elevator.

And they're just kind of like, what are we doing?

She looks at each, looks at him and then walks away.

Just a nitpick now, just so I remember it.

They get home at three in the morning,

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 feel like they'd be a little more drunk.

He starts working in the middle of the night, doesn't he?

Doesn't he go on it?

I feel like they'd be a little more sauced, she'd be a little more tipsy.

80s, they just put it away, tall lady.

Maybe she didn't carry her liquor.

I like the cops, maybe she's like Larry Bird, she can put a case away for

uh, claire and mike finally

benza gets out claire and mike have some uh scared sex for claire she's she needs somebody

to watch over her i uh i'm gonna bring this up now the mallory rubin award did this movie need a better sex scene it kind of did yeah

i think ridley was afraid to do it because if if there was a pounding away scene maybe it's a little tougher to keep on keep 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 illustrated of like his sort of choice he has to make.

Yeah.

It's a little bit chaste the way it happens.

It's like almost close to Top Gun Maverick laughing, you know.

Right.

Um, but I, I think Mallory probably would have turned turned the temperature up a little bit.

Next scene, Ellie finds out at

lunch about Mike's cheating.

Love this.

Incredible Bracco.

Bracco.

Why do I keep saying Bracco?

Hey, Brocco.

It's okay.

Twin Towers in the background.

Yeah.

I behave like the kind of lady you apparently prefer.

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, Elle.

I love you.

I do.

And you are a lady, and I respect you very much.

Joe, talk to me.

Respect.

You come back.

You come back for me.

It's a good line.

Not for your goddamn job.

You come back for me, okay?

And then she punches him.

Terrible sound effect for the punch.

Terrible.

Yeah.

It's beyond a what stage the worst.

I know.

I just wanted to bring it up as soon as you said it.

Ridley's like, can you put like four highlights in Mimi's hair?

Because I want to make the light shine off it.

And I got, can you wet the street again?

But when Lorraine Bronco punches Tom Berringer, it sounds like she has a second clapping.

It's a second after the punch.

Let me watch over you tonight.

It's another one.

Tom's been kicked out of that.

Mike's been kicked out of the house.

He shows up anyway, even though TJ is there.

And then we get the whole, I love the switching the runner.

yeah

that's that's some bill and cr shit right there like scoping out the jogger how he's running at seven o'clock buying the exact same outfit putting the hood over it um

and then tj gets shot we get a little little action scene and then um we get the hall of mirrors action too within the within the apartment You knew that was going to come into play when we saw it in the beginning.

It's like these bears are coming back.

And then I got Mike shows up at the Queen's party that she's throwing.

Someone to watch over me playing again.

And she does like the oh, that's kind of my song with my weird cop that stayed with us.

It wouldn't work out, Claire.

How long are you going away for to forget about you?

I feel like that line, that exchange has been in like 40 movies.

Gets me every time.

Any others for rewatch most?

Well, I feel like it's, we've got like 40-some minutes, and you just haven't said Joey Lanza yet.

He's coming up.

Okay.

So Venza.

I have Venza.

Joey Venza.

I don't know why I wrote down Lianza.

Joey Venza with Keegan's family at the end is a pretty amazing.

It's ridiculous, but it's just an incredible

program.

Yeah.

And I also have the Studio 54 style club, which they shot in the comments.

At the beginning.

Yeah.

Okay.

But my number one is,

God, I think it's when Ellie finds out about Claire.

Honestly, it's such a great scene.

I have when they go to the Guggenheim.

What's the most 1987 thing about this movie?

I had Sting doing your theme song or a club blaring Steve Winwood.

Steve Winwood.

I love Steve Winwood.

I would never listen to Steve Winwood again for any reason.

It is also like a perfect

music to be listening to in 1987.

It was either that, him and Peter Gabriel in the finals for what made sense there.

What stage is the best?

I have a 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 probably.

Personal experience here?

No, but just like, I think that the crisis and like Lorraine Broccoli is not just like, you're out.

Yeah.

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 liked it, like, just watching them, you know, have like an adult reaction to it.

Now it would be like, here's my essay for the LA Times about when my husband cheated on me and his name was Mike.

Here's when I entered a polycule.

I really like the kid, Tommy.

Tommy was an excellent little kid.

Yeah, he could have been super annoying, but he wasn't perfect 1987 kid with the little cyclist hat.

And it's just like, lay back, Mac.

I got my skateboard.

He's like Bart Simpson.

He easily could have gone right into being Josh Baskin's best friend and big and been in nine other 80s movies.

And number one, this is an Age of the Worst that's actually Age of the Best.

And it's one of the little details of this movie that makes it worth completely re-watching.

One of the other cops is this guy named Kuntz.

Yeah.

And

when Keegan finds out that his family has been taken

hostage by Venza,

it's revealed that Kuntz just has a little stud earring.

And I really, really

thought for a second about coming in today with a study.

Just sneaking it in.

But just like, I want, I want, I feel like guys should just start like, yeah, check it out.

I'm not having a midlife crisis at all.

That's a good one.

I have a couple of small ones.

These are just personal preferences.

Cop daughters in a movie who then marry a cop.

Yeah, Ellie.

Yeah.

Yeah, I like that one.

They kind of know the drill.

My dad was a cop.

I married a cop.

Yeah, I've seen some adultery in my day.

Cops calling other cops wives the old lady.

Yeah.

When did we stop doing this?

I don't know.

I don't think anybody would appreciate it anymore.

Hey, Craig, how's your old lady?

Yeah, Craig,

you want to film that video later?

You got to see the old lady.

Yeah, say that to Liz the next time she's in the office.

She'll love that.

The old lady, I think, when do you think it went away?

Like early 2000s?

I think it went away like in the 80s.

Like, I think this is the last gas.

This was the last old lady.

I don't remember anyone ever referring to even my mother as 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.

I mentioned this earlier, but all the all the Lorraine Bracco scenes, knowing Goodfellas is coming, it just makes me laugh.

Two-way mirrors?

Yep.

For the, for the perp ID.

For any cop scene for the perp ID.

I just have always enjoyed them and

might put one in my house.

i'm kidding um

i don't know if you picked this up but it's a great what's age the best mike's wearing this old school 80s jet sweatshirt oh kitchen and it's a sweatshirt that had a collar and they only made these for a couple years i used to have the pats one but i lost it perfect that he's a jets fan and it's it's actually

right castano

they keep reps are cracking down they should have had like them go to a jets game That could have fit in this.

But it's a really nice sweatshirt.

I want to point that out.

A New York guy pronouncing the word idea as idear.

That's a pretty good idea, Claire.

Behringer's apartment you mentioned, and then cops hanging out with their families.

I got one more for you.

I know you picked up on this.

Is it a good idea?

No, it's Gotti Behringer's bachelor friend who he moves in with, his apartment.

He's got the bunk beds.

And it's like, yeah, check out the bathroom real nice.

Yes.

But But then at the end, he's just like, we're going to have to figure out the bedroom because what does he say?

Like, Renee is a moaner?

Yeah, yeah.

Renee is a screamer.

That guy had a hate check for like two minutes.

Great chat, Gordon award.

What'd you have?

I love this shot of Behringer on the New York 80s subway standing up.

I had the same thing.

I like the shot of him on the subway.

And the lights are screening.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Ridley.

Just beautiful.

Probably spent two days storyboarding that and doing it and then gets the punch completely wrong.

Come on, Ridley.

Denneth's Benny Hanna Award,

Seen Stealing Location, the New York City Apartment.

The Guggenheims.

Guggenheim's really high there.

I enjoyed that.

Kid Cuddy Pursuit Happiness Award.

Would you go Steve Winwood or Roberta Flack at the end?

I'd go Roberta.

Okay.

Oh, a category we rarely get to give out.

The Amanda Dobbins Award for Best Piece of Real Estate.

Claire's Apartment, which I was always like, 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 Studios,

that they made the apartment from scratch.

And it's Upper Eastside is supposed to be?

Supposed to be.

Okay.

I mean, I guess then Guggenheim gets best real estate, right?

I guess.

They did a great job.

creating a fake New York City apartment, though.

I love the nightclub, which is shot in the Queen Mary, but it is supposed to be a New York nightclub.

The Chess Rockwell and Brock Landers Award for best character name.

Wynn Hawkings is the guy who gets killed at the beginning.

Did I talk about the Wynn Hawkings killing?

Yeah.

Venza kind of goes zero to 60 there on him.

Is it Benza or Venza?

Venza.

Joey Venza.

Joey.

Oh, I thought it was Benza.

Well, I thought it was Benza.

I think you're right.

So, yeah.

Yeah, he goes from 0 to 60 pretty fast.

You probably noticed that the host of the party has been stabbed to death If you're there, wondering where he's going to be.

Well, Venza doesn't seem to think that he's got a real like invincibility armor to him where he's just like, yeah, that nobody is going to ever catch me for cold-blooded first-degree murder in a public place and also intimidating witnesses and taking cops' families hostages.

And also, I showed up at this party, and they're like, you're not allowed in, Mr.

Venza.

And he's like, okay, and goes in anyway.

Wynn Hawking's not kind of maybe needed one more scene with Wynne to understand what his business interests were.

So, and then also

was he in the mafia?

Was he

mafia Jason?

Yeah, did Claire

seemed like she's got that doofus guy.

She was dating Neil, but it seems like she and Wynne had something

unexplored.

Well, we have some smoking subcategories, CR.

The Sean Penn, I brought my own pack award for excellence in on-screen smoking.

Yeah, this goes to Joey Venza's smoking while holding a 350-seg magnum to a child's head

and then angrily throwing the cigarette.

So the first time we did the fugitive with Greenwald,

we did this whole thing about our Torres, whatever his name is, who played the one-armed man in the fugitive.

Andreas Katzoulas.

Yeah.

And how he was such a chainsaw.

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.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

But yeah, he's clearly like, yo, is it cool if I smoke in this scene?

And they're like, go ahead.

Let's actually think for a second

how many hands it takes to

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 going to, I mean, like, it's just amazing.

He probably asked the kid to hold the gun on himself while he's at it.

And then we have the Edie Falco and Copland award for the character that got three times hotter by smoking.

Yeah, I thought of you.

Yeah.

When she, when he takes 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 for Are We Sure This Character is actually good at this job for the New York Police Department, right?

It's just like we know who killed Wynn Hawkings, yeah, we know exactly what he looks like and what he's doing, but we just kind of got to let him kind of work it out.

Nobody read him his rights when we found Venza.

Um, we can't protect Claire, she almost gets killed in a bathroom.

But isn't that a crime in and of itself?

If Claire's like, Joey, Venza just beat the shit out of me in a bathroom, wouldn't that also be something?

Yeah.

Seems like it would be something.

That leads to the Butch's Girlfriend Award for week 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.

Just kind of knows he's there.

Figured you'd be there at Claire's party.

You did?

Like, what?

Would you have like the entire world bugged?

Like, how are you doing this?

What's his strategy?

So he's

going to have Claire come kill Claire and then he's going to walk out.

I don't know.

I really don't know.

What's Mike's strategy?

I'm going to bring Claire.

Maybe she'll just get shot, but I'll get my family back.

It's one way to get out of it.

There's Chekhov's gun from earlier in the movie where they're like,

Where's the gun?

And he's like, Oh, it's in the closet.

Yeah.

He's just going to trade the female characters and throw in his son as a first-round draft pick.

This is like an NFL draft trade.

He's the new jacket.

It's like the Falcons moving up for Pierce.

I do like that the wife shoots Joey.

Yeah.

And I do think it's a pretty funny, tough beat for Claire.

But this is the reason that this movie is not considered a classic because the last 10 minutes just...

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 going to do about the ending?

I don't know.

Let's just

end to kidnap 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 in movies were psychos.

And now we try to ascribe all this like meaning and like motivation to like why bad guys in shows and movies do things.

Like, why is he doing this?

Back then, it was just like the guys in Commando were just psychos.

Right, right.

This guy's just a bloodthirsty maniac.

What's age the worst?

Claire 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 do a portrait of me.

Yeah.

Oil painting of me.

It's more like 19th century English people did that, but I don't know why we still bother.

Let's get rid of that.

The fake punch sound we talked about.

And then there's that one scene when Mike's in the hospital.

And Orbak, who's like, doesn't realize he's going to be in crimes and misdemeanors in a much better movie in two years.

So he's really got to go for the Oscar.

And he's like, is it love, Mike?

I hope so.

I want it to be worth it for your sake.

But he's really trying to act.

Incredible, like, workplace

changes over the decades.

It's like this captain is like, so tell me a little bit about this relationship you got going on.

More than just sex, or what else do you have for what stage is the worst?

I just, I just had to focus on this, the sound effect.

I don't know why Ridley Scott can't just go in and fix that as a digital like for Tubi.

Could Tubi give him like $5,000?

Yeah.

Not a bad idea.

Ruffalo Hannah Rubinik Pratt over acting word.

Venza!

Or also Venza when he's like, I give the order.

I don't take orders.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Or when Venza first gets Mimi Rogers in the bathroom at the party and the first thing he says to her is like, don't say a word.

screaming at the top of his lungs

that's another like what's age the worst how does he get in that party?

How does he sneak into the bathroom with nobody noticing him?

He's like a wanted fugitive.

He also always seems to have a tux.

Yeah.

Tux killer.

That would have been a better idea.

Oh, this will be good.

The CR thinks Luke Wilson could have been Harrison Ford, hottest take a word.

Yeah.

I have a good one.

What do you have?

I think Venz is the best thing that ever happened to Mike and Ellie.

I think that his entrance into Claire's life, while dangerous and costing Wynn Hawkings'

life,

it just starts this snowball going downhill where Mike and Ellie, they were probably head towards a life of recrimination, 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 could say they got divorced in 12 months.

It's one of the two.

Yeah, that is.

It did light a little fire on them.

They'll probably speak finally of him.

I'm going bigger and grander.

I think this had all the tools, much like Craig's guy, Tet McMillan.

It said all the tools to be the greatest erotic thriller of all time.

Wow.

I even think it's a better

blueprint than Fatal Attraction.

Okay.

It's a model that I think then got stolen by a bunch of Skinny Max movies where a cop protecting a social right and they start having, but then they would actually have the sex.

But you have,

you could have a sex scene 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.

We have

maybe

you're getting so excited to diagram the different places we could have humping in this movie.

We get

a

solo scene with claire the unrequited sex thing yeah she's in the bathroom okay

what the

i'm just gonna run

right through her playbook okay uh so claire rubs one out neil yeah

neil comes over uh-huh he hears the moaning we see that

right

We have a couple scenes with

Claire and Mike.

Let's bang nails out.

Yeah.

Maybe, maybe one with Ellie where he's not quite, he has to stop during the day.

Oh, and he's just like he can't get it up, maybe.

And then some makeup sex at the end.

Or maybe he could.

This is eight sex scenes they could have had.

There is also the like he could have brought home like an expensive dress and dressed Ellie like Claire.

Oh,

that would have been.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

You've never bought me a dress like this, Michael.

Or a nightcap.

Yeah.

And Steve Winwood.

Craig, am I crazy or is this all the ingredients?

I like you breaking down erotic filler play looks like Todd McShea and also bursting into tears.

I think this could have been.

Yeah.

Anyway, we missed out on that.

Casting what ifs.

Mimi tested for both parts.

Oh, interesting.

Didn't get the Bracco part.

She wanted

Brocco more.

Didn't get the Bracco part.

Didn't hear from them for 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 Ridley 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 inhabit the character.

So she got it.

But she also did a screen test with Beringer.

But they had already screen tested together because they both went out for body heat.

Neither of them got it.

Interesting.

Yeah, so good to see you 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 base against it.

Mimi doesn't.

I'm sure the Sharon Stones probably

got the right end of 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 to Queens.

Yeah, he's not going back.

Like you saw what she did in Basic Instinct with the cop.

Like, that guy's

20 minutes, he's doing cocaine and sitting smoking sigs and killing people.

I am never going back.

That's the thing about me.

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 Sarandon would have worked for Claire.

I was just thinking about the

erratic thriller.

Oh, man.

We really took this to the next level.

Susan Sarandon?

Yeah.

Never mind.

Who cares?

See, that's Susan Sarandon for Claire.

Yeah.

I don't think

she would work as Ellie.

I think you need somebody more queensy than is Gina Davis too young?

Oh, Gina Davis or Melanie Griffith might have worked as Ellie.

Now, Melanie Griffith, you could always feel the

damage from the past in all of her parts.

No, I mean, okay.

Even in like, I guess, 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 thought.

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 Mimi was really good.

Let's take another break to regroup.

Do you just keep thinking of different existing?

Best That Guy Award.

Does Andreas Katzoulis qualify anymore?

He does, right?

He's, I mean, he's just the one-hour man from the future.

That guy, yeah.

Only we know he's Andreas Katzoulis.

Yeah, and then he wins.

The other one would be Mark Moses for me.

So I have Tony DiBedetto as TJ, who also played Johnny Fingers and Mark for Death with Steven Seagal.

That's right.

So he's been in two movies.

He's one of those guys.

But yeah.

Deion Wader's a word.

I have Orbach.

Orbach.

TJ possibility.

The cop buddy who lets Mike move in.

Scotty.

Rich cocky murder guy, Wynn Hawkings.

Orbach.

I think Orbach.

I think he's like you said, he's like really trying to go for it in that scene where he's just like, Mike, what is this?

Is this love?

Can I make the case for does 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 Christ.

Oh, that God.

I was going to do this later for an Ansibles, 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.

Yeah.

I don't know.

It might.

Isn't it the line in super bad?

Or he's like, having a gun is like having a second cock.

Recasting couch director City.

How about Dennis Franz as TJ?

Sure.

Let's dial it up a notch.

Yeah.

Could we find a spot for Caruso in this movie?

Could Caruso have been Scotty?

Could Caruso have been Mike?

A little early, right?

But definitely like in the vein of the stuff that he's good at.

He kills Venza at the end.

He's like, stuff of Legends.

Yeah, we could have wear Caruso in this.

I don't know.

Like, he was in well, he was in King in New York.

That was, that was uh 88.

That was like 90.

90.

Yeah, it's 90.

I just did, yeah, it's 90.

Craig has a flex category choice.

Can't wait for this.

What is it, Craig?

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 Mimi Rogers in that weird sex moment.

He he had.

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, seductive.

I'm trying to think what that category would be.

It's kind of like

seductive, seductive.

Michael Douglas dancing with Roxy.

Roxy, our girl.

Roxy could have been

anybody in this.

Maybe like a friend of Ellie's.

Yeah.

Half-fast internet research.

You mentioned the Queen Mary thing.

I kind of did all my research.

I had a lot of Mimi Rogers research.

Yeah, I don't really have any extra stuff.

Apex Mountain.

Behringer?

I think it's Platoon.

Well, this is 87.

So like it's Platoon.

He just

has to platoon, 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 Wygand asked her why they hadn't worked together yet.

And I was thinking, she could have easily been the Gina Gershon role in Cocktail if they wanted to work together.

Yeah.

But she wasn't.

Brocco.

No.

We said it was Goodfellas.

Yes.

Not Sopranos.

No.

Arturis.

Fugitive.

Ridley Scott, Gladiator.

It's definitely not this.

Definitely not this.

Someone to Watch Over Me renditions in a movie.

I mean, when you have three of them, I think it's got to be Apex Mountain.

Counter.

Mr.

Hollins 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.

I mean, you have three of them in this, but that's probably a more famous movie.

I would say probably that movie.

Queens?

Movies in Queens?

What are the competitions?

Well, I mean, like a lot of Goodfellows takes place in Queens, right?

But do people think of Goodfellas as a Queens movie?

Queens Boulevard.

I was just reading the

I just caught up on the Seth Rogen versus Doug Allen blood feud for the last 20 years that the studio reignited this week.

Uh-huh.

Craig, are you familiar with this?

Yeah, they hate each other.

And Seth Rogen wrote a Simpsons episode that, like, shits on Entourage.

And they've just been going, because he was going to be Turtle, right?

He was supposed to.

Yeah.

Ellen Wayne took a shot at 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 Turtle's like, I don't understand.

That guy's so ugly.

How does he land Catherine Heigel?

He's so ugly.

And they're just like saying how ugly he is for like 45 seconds.

So it's still going.

Great Queen's movie is Coming to America.

That's the best Queens movie.

I think you're right.

Apex Mountain for the Guggenheim.

What are the other candidates?

Well, just like, I guess the Guggenheim music just looks great.

Existing would probably be bigger than being in

a movie.

But in a movie.

No, in a movie.

Yeah.

I can't remember another Guggenheim scene, actually.

The only other one I had for Apex Mountain was rich, hot, socialite characters.

The platonic idea of what that is.

I didn't remember that.

Guggenheim is.

That's probably the Apex.

Rich Hot Social Ed characters in a movie

really needs to go up a notch.

No,

I think Talented Mr.

Ripley is hot socialized.

Oh, Gwyneth Paltrow's character?

Marge?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's pretty good.

Yeah, I like that.

Cruise or Hanks?

Hanks.

yeah

although it would be pretty funny if cruise was playing mike

and instead of the sex scene they're just laughing in bed after

clear

he spills like a cranberry juice on the on the side table and they just laugh where he trips over tommy's skateboard he's like tommy

skating

yeah i go hanks too Scorsese or Spielberg is a little more interesting.

Could 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 Mike, I think.

Yeah, I think Mike and Scotty have a scene where they're sounding fucking bender in the bunk beds.

Yeah,

he's on one, Scotty's on the other.

Yeah, she's because she's a screamer.

What role would Philip Seymour Hoffman have played?

It could be Wynn Hawking's.

You could talk me into.

You could talk me into Neil.

I'm going to go with Koontz, the cop with the stud earring.

Oh, just randomly thrown in there.

Okay.

Picking nits.

nits.

What the fuck is Venza doing?

Like, what is the plan?

Is he Kaiser Soze?

Like, how has he just got...

He runs rough shot up.

First of all, what has 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.

He's now slumming it, just trying to kill this one lady and doesn't have other people trying to kill her.

Because at the beginning of the movie, it's basically he is given probably dirty money to Wynne hawkings to open this club or to do whatever he's done and now win is buying him out he's like i don't want to be bought out so he just kills wyn

but he murders a guy in cold blood tries to intimidate a witness uh gets caught at the guggenheim doing it again yeah

uh then gets out yeah but like

why isn't he free like they're like yeah you you he's free you didn't read him his rights so now he's out is he out on bail or is he just out is the case I don't understand what.

And there's no district attorney in New York consulting on like any of this.

Like, well, 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 a witness protection takes place over a couple more than a day or something, the FBI takes you to 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.

Yeah.

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, Hackensack, New Jersey, waiting for trial.

Like Kiss of Death.

Yeah.

When they take his family because he decides to go and a movie that you won't see because it's not on fucking Tubi.

Fuck you, Tubi.

More pick and nits.

Claire would never be with Neil.

Neil sucks.

Yeah.

I didn't really.

They have to establish that Neil is worth like a kajillion dollars and is like a minority owner of the New York Giants or something.

I need way more ammo.

Neil Samara.

Yeah, I need way more ammo that Neil is, he just blows.

There's nothing cool about that.

Also, Neil be like, I have to travel for work.

It's like your girlfriend is under constant threat from the jokes.

Stick around, Neil.

Oh, and he's got this handsome cop who's going to protect her.

And he's like, I've got to go to Angola.

I'll be back.

Claire says to Mike at one, they nailed the social aid rich person stuff with Claire.

It's really great.

But then she says, I have to go for a pee

to Mike.

I just don't think she would say that.

No.

She was like, I have to stop by the ladies' room.

She would, it would just be classy.

I don't think she would say that.

Also, Mike would probably just stand outside the ladies' room.

Do you know what I mean?

Like, it wouldn't be like, oh, cool.

Yeah, I'm just going to get a drink and talk to the lady who asks if I get hard when I shoot people.

Why doesn't Joey just murder Claire in the bathroom?

I don't know.

It's the two of them.

He murdered Wynne Hawking.

He's killed Wynn Hawkings.

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 collar, just quick, 20 quick kidney shots.

He said instead he screamed, you don't say a word.

Yeah, so she makes a lot of noise.

Quiet!

And then smears lipstick over her face and then runs out so he can get arrested.

It's fucking shot collar.

Sequel, prequel, Prestige TB, all blackcast or untouchable.

I think I'm all good.

You're good.

Do you know what I mean?

Like, I don't think.

It's not even an untouchable.

I don't need to see Ellie and Mike the next.

It's the same part of the category.

I don't need to see

how Claire got here.

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 TV showcase?

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, you know,

we're going to be in the square garden to do something.

We would be like, what the shit is going on?

You don't think this could have been an Apple show?

Apple loves rich people.

It's terrible by the fifth episode.

I don't know.

We could learn more about the Queens, some of the cops.

Sure.

Scotty's divorce.

Yeah.

The moner.

And then the twist would be that it turns out Tommy was the one who killed Gwynn Hawkins.

Craig, would you watch someone to watch over me on Apple?

You just want more moments for erotic thriller scenes.

You just want more sex scenes.

It's like a star show.

Is there

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

seems like a

facimile erotic thriller show.

I never watched it.

I got it.

I don't know what show you're talking about.

I really like stars.

Is this movie better with Wayne Jenkins, Danny Treo, Doris Burks, Sam Jackson, Nell, Byron Mayo, Barney Cousins, Tony Romo, Harley Mays, Henry Hill?

I added Henry Hill.

Chris Collinsworth, Daniel Plainview, Long Legs, or Wilfred Brimley in the firm.

God damn, Andreas.

I didn't know I was working with a two-armed man.

I thought, much like Tobias Harris, you can't go left.

Turns out you can kill in the name of Provasic or contract law.

You better stop intimidating witnesses or Sergeant Barnes is going to send you away a long fucking time, big boy.

That was a really good one.

I'm not even going to do mine.

You don't want to do DB at all just because it's playoff times?

I don't have anything prepared.

How has DB?

Has she been doing the Celtics?

DB, when Mike's walking the streets of New York, I see you, Mike, battling this moral conscience of marriage versus adultery.

Just want to ask her who gets it.

Broca?

I think Brocka.

She's really good.

Supporting actress.

It's great.

Oh, I have some really good, probably unanswerable questions.

How loaded was Claire?

Yeah.

That's like generational wealth we're talking about, right?

Like, do you think that's going on here?

Do you think that she's like a like a

Mr.

Family money?

She talks about, she's like, I have to go to this thing because my dad funded this school.

Dead husband.

Queens.

Divorce.

How old do we think she is?

Because

she's family money.

Mimi's like 31, 32 in real life when she films this.

Probably,

probably engaged once

in her 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.

She's,

I feel like one of the things that's a lot of people.

Neil's the rebound, the safe kind of like he's, he's, he's responsible for.

Maybe with some guy for five years, but it somehow didn't work out.

But I feel like she probably is supposed to be like a Mary Astor kind kind of like you know, what does she do for a living?

Do we think?

Nothing,

socialites slash, maybe owns an art allery, charitable foundation, does charitable stuff.

The dad is probably

not alive anymore because I feel like he would have gotten involved if he thought his daughter has his name on a bunch of buildings, probably.

Yeah, so maybe the parents are dead.

Maybe they died in a small helicopter crash in the early 80s.

Having sex,

maybe having sex.

That's the first scene, the erotic thriller.

They shouldn't have humped in the helicopter.

But yeah, so she probably no parents, engaged,

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 to it.

Like she's, she's not getting any juice from it.

But people like that, they sometimes, how are they going to meet people?

They're so intimidating.

It's like the princess died corollary.

Yeah.

Or, or the Tiger Woods' ex-wife when she was smoking hot and inherited most of his money and everybody was afraid to to date her for like four years.

That's right.

I forgot about that.

Yeah.

Sometimes that happens.

Which leads me to my next unanswerable question.

Claire, one of the great catches in movie history.

And now she's just off to Europe.

Did anyone check more boxes than Claire?

I mean, it's just, I think she would just be difficult to approach, you know, if you're just, if you bump into her at the, at the oak bar, at the oak room.

Yeah, you really have to have a lot of confidence and probably some deep wallets.

I feel like Craig could maybe hang for like an hour.

Craig, could you hang with an hour?

Single Craig?

Yeah, I'd talk about Tet

NFL draft stuff.

Tell about the Dannies.

Um,

she'd love to hear about the Danny's.

Yeah,

tell me more about hyphens.

You guys

live in fascinating good chemistry.

And the others in Seattle.

Why are you so interested in what I do?

So she said the NFL draft lady.

Um,

uh,

my last unanswerable.

This is a really good one.

Great

movie breakups where it's just like, I'm not sure this person's going to be the same anytime soon.

This is way up there.

What do Claire's next three boyfriends look like after this?

Oh, she's almost been murdered over and over.

Italian count next.

Like, she's got to go for the stars next.

Well, it's like when Ann Hathaway, 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.

Yeah, he was a con artist.

And then it was like, what are like after that?

Who do you, yeah, who's she?

Are you on Raya after that?

But like, yeah, I'd love 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 late 70s.

If she dated like Wally Bachman next,

yeah.

That's a pretty good one.

She's dating.

Yeah, I'm dating Gerald Wilkins.

He's on the Knicks.

He's the starting two card.

The Zewatne Award.

What happened the next day?

Mike and Ellie break up.

He's made destitute by the divorce, has to pick up another job, working security, and dies of a heart attack at 45.

Starts smoking heavily.

Yeah.

I have the same.

What piece of memorability would you want or not want from this movie?

I definitely would not want the bunk bed in Scotty's bachelor bad.

I love when he's like, yeah, bunk beds, you know, kids.

I would like the Jet sweatshirt to give it to Sean.

I'd to give it to Federal.

I had that or the tie, but the Jet sweatshirt.

I wonder if it's findable on eBay.

The Coach Finnstock Award for Best Life Lesson.

What the hell is so great about being married?

Marriage is an idea whose time has come and gone.

It's an actual quote in this movie.

The 1987.

Yeah.

Yeah.

From Scotty.

What do you think about,

I was going to say, if like, I was trying to articulate the life, 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 a couple more night shifts.

Don't worry.

I don't think he wants to.

She kind of breaks him down.

No, she doesn't.

He, like, he's clearly

make eye contact with her.

Yeah.

Well, I think they have such a good relationship.

He doesn't want to hide stuff from her.

That's how I interpreted it.

Um, yeah, I think that the marriage one is a good life lesson.

Best double feature choice.

I had Jagged Edge.

So 87, just again, the 2B, greatest, almost like how the NBA was.

That was one of the best NBA years.

I had Black Widow,

but you also could have talked to me to Fatal Attraction, 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 also might be a 2B movie.

Black Widow is Deborah Winger and Teresa Russell.

Yeah, but Jagged Edge is a couple years before.

Glenn Close plays a lawyer.

Oh, right.

That's 85.

Yeah.

But I think Suspect is 87, which is another with Dennis Quaid and Cher, another 2B all-star.

But Black Widow,

it's another one where the first 90% of the movie is awesome.

And then the last 10 minutes.

And then the last 10 minutes, you're like, what the fuck?

That's the ending?

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 Bracco, so I'm going to go Ridley.

I think it's Mimi or Bracco,

but I think it's Mimi because this movie left me.

Wishing she'd done more.

Yeah, Bracco got to being some good stuff.

Mimi, it's like, what?

Just felt like there was more there.

Maybe there could have been some...

Like, could she have been the lead of Law and Order SVU for like 25 years?

Did you say that she was like a great poker player, too?

Is that what you do?

Yeah.

I mean, maybe she was fascinated by her.

Taking down big pots.

Maybe we just need to have her on the rewatchable to just dive into stuff.

Yeah.

Figure out what's going on with her.

All right.

This is really, really exciting.

Craig had no idea what this movie was.

What'd you think, Craig?

I don't know what it says about me that now I'm like, minority report, not for me.

And then this movie, I'm like, pretty good.

I'm just into this now.

You guys have converted me.

Do you think you like it more now after Bill started crying, laughing, talking about all the places that they could have fucked?

Yeah, I love the.

Valerie has my back.

Yeah.

My ass is not as tight as it used to be.

Jump in there.

Right.

Yeah.

Perfect spot.

Let me build yourself a steam up.

Yeah, I don't know.

These do it for me now.

It's like scouting Abdul Carter is boring.

I want like a fourth-round tackle out of Chattanooga, you know?

And that's what this movie is.

It's a couple squares short of 80s movie bingo, but it hits a lot of them.

You know, you get the love triangle.

You got like the twangy guitar sound, like the in-between scenes.

You got dance club.

I think this is hairdo apex mountain yeah this this is the wade lebron and bosch big three of hair 80s hairdos

out of the three of them

the best mom hair i've ever seen it's like bordering on marge simpson yeah 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 almost 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 nice hair behinger ass.

Yeah, because I think i honestly don't understand it that's really like i think he was trying to make it very tasteful and classic really like he's not really like a big crazy nudity sex guy you know so goony weaver at the end of aliens in her underwear mimi rogers is like in a turtleneck the whole day right

right

well it's an interesting choice because like mimi's tall and she's i would i'll say the word buxom

And they really try to hide her and clothes the entire movie.

You don't know it because it's all about like her hair and her face.

It's also like, what is it?

I guess it must be like fall in New York.

I mean, like it's appropriate for like the weather and like whatever.

That's why we needed the jet scene.

We needed a jet scene.

Can you imagine if Mike takes Claire to the jets?

Oh my God.

I wanted to show you some of my world.

So we're going to sit next to Fireman and launch Castanel.

Some kid in a Johnny Lamb Jones jersey throws up next to her.

She starts booting up Miller Light.

Mike is really borderline concussed.

When she's like, do you want want to go grab a drink?

He like sits there and thinks about it for 15 seconds.

And then he's like, cocktails, huh?

Yeah.

I'm like, well, what's Mike's deal?

Let's go have those cocktails.

This would have been a good category.

Should Mike have had a mustache?

Would you give him a near?

Because he has a mustache.

Three years earlier, he should have, but this was 80s.

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 and 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 Claire.

Tommy breaks an ankle.

I would like to say good morning to Mimi Rogers.

I was unfamiliar with her game.

Yeah.

Yeah, so what did 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 up there.

It's an incredible

can't believe

her and Cruz were a couple.

No, I didn't even really know that, or I think that's why I only knew her name from that, but I didn't know what she looked like or who she really was.

A lot of teeth for both of them.

The kids would have been really interesting, probably super handsome, kind of Kennedy-like.

Anyway, all right, Craig Horbet, producer.

Thanks.

Jack Sanders, as well, back there.

CR Chris Ryan.
