I have something disturbing to tell you.

Speaker 1 I watched The Watch in bed last night.

Speaker 2 The top 10 shows?

Speaker 1 I did. I watched

Speaker 1 40 minutes. I was lying in bed.
My wife was playing Block Blast, just enjoying the chemistry of you and Andy Greenbald.

Speaker 1 I'll tell you,

Speaker 1 a lot of foreplay before you got to the actual top 10. Well, that's the end of the year.

Speaker 1 A lot of fluff at the top. Okay.

Speaker 1 I might have been on the side going, come on, guys.

Speaker 1 Let's get to the list.

Speaker 2 They put time stamps in these things for a reason.

Speaker 1 It's an honorable mention. Let's bring it up.
Let's go. Let's go.

Speaker 1 Let's get to a show. Could I give you some constructive feedback? At some point.
Yeah, sure.

Speaker 1 I did enjoy the Kaya jokes. It was good that you brought her in, but great chemistry.
Glad to see you guys still cranking it all day seriously later.

Speaker 2 We owe it all to you for doing this.

Speaker 1 Craig Corbett, end of the fantasy football season.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm knocked out of the ringer league, kind of devastated. Chris Ryan's still alive.
You're in the toilet bowl playoffs, though. Yeah, me and Sean.

Speaker 1 You guys have a lot of complaints about this league. I thought we've handled it well.
I think the league worked out great. I think the league was great.

Speaker 1 And I don't know who to report between Craig and Sean. So, if Craig, if you lose, what do you? Mine's easy.
No caffeine for a week.

Speaker 1 If Sean loses, he has to wear a headband on an episode of the big picture and not address it.

Speaker 2 And with a director interview, right?

Speaker 1 We want it to be with the director. That was not stipulated.

Speaker 2 I really wanted to have to wear like a headband while he's talking to Park Channel Wood.

Speaker 1 close out

Speaker 1 all right well we don't normally do two rewatchables in a week but we wanted to do a very special one this week so we're going to do the sure thing and it's next this episode of the rewatchables is presented by state farm whether you're debating watching that award-winning sports drama or re-watching your comfort buddy comedy movie for the 10th time choices are important When it comes to choosing coverage, a State Farm Agent can help you find options that are right for you.

Speaker 1 All right. I wish these were under better circumstances here.
Yeah. The Short Thing, a movie we've been waiting to do for a long, long time

Speaker 1 that has not been available on streaming, but it was available on YouTube. Yes.

Speaker 1 And we didn't want to tell people that it was available on YouTube because I was worried it was going to get pulled down and we needed time to both watch it.

Speaker 2 Is this the second time we've done a movie that is actually not on streaming or on VOD?

Speaker 1 I think it might be the third. What was the one we just pull up the volume this?

Speaker 2 And was there a third one?

Speaker 1 Well, maybe this will bring it back. Okay.
I guess, although re-watching it, the soundtrack's pretty.

Speaker 2 That's why I was wondering why it's, if that's one of the reasons why it's not on streaming.

Speaker 1 But Rob Reiner, this was the second movie he directed

Speaker 1 and was tragically murdered on Sunday by his son, it looks like, allegedly, but it seems like it was his son. But one of the worst Hollywood stories in a while.
He was a beloved guy.

Speaker 1 You talked about him in your pod. I talked about him on the top of my pod on Sunday.
And we have done six Rewatchables movies with him. We had not done this one, but we wanted to do a Reiner movie.

Speaker 1 So we threw this together.

Speaker 1 I talked, the thing I said about... him on Sunday was that he had these three different careers that were all pretty cool in their own ways, right?

Speaker 1 He's like this supporting actor on probably the second most famous 76 home we had other than MASH. Yeah.
He's the son of Karl Reiner and even that, and he could have just been an actor for 50 years.

Speaker 1 And that would have been a cool career and everybody liked him. Then he becomes this director and has put together one of the best 15-year runs any director's ever had.

Speaker 1 Then he also on the side has this whole Castle Rock thing with this company that he creates,

Speaker 1 independent, outside the studio infrastructure.

Speaker 1 And he starts, you know, basically supporting voices that he cares about and making bets on young talent because he knows young talent, which is the same thing he had in his movies.

Speaker 1 That ends up funding Seinfeld, which is the most successful backing, I think, in the history of anything, and was a beloved guy out here in Hollywood.

Speaker 1 So we felt like of all the directors, this is the seventh one, I think, which puts him in third place. Yeah.
There's only a couple directors where we're like, emergency pod, we got to do one.

Speaker 1 This is one of them. Yeah, this is five.

Speaker 2 And he has five or six in a row

Speaker 2 to start off his career that are locks for any, any like

Speaker 2 I would re-watchable any of those with you.

Speaker 2 I, uh, I was, I thought it was really helpful to try to organize my thoughts about Reiner through the lens of this movie, which is, it's nice because, like, if you're trying to summarize a guy's entire contribution to entertainment and to like American cultural life, it's hard.

Speaker 2 But if you can just look at something as simple as a screwball comedy like this, you can really see a lot of his specific skills and talents and gifts come through.

Speaker 1 Yeah, one of those gifts, which he, you know, he also applied with Seinfeld in in some of the movies and TV shows that he did, which is great eye for talent, great eye for somebody's moment in their career,

Speaker 1 just seeing something, either potential that hadn't been realized or knowing the impact that they already had, which Few Good Men's a good example of that, right? He catches Cruz at his apex. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He figures out that this is the perfect Nicholson part, convinces him to do that, and then populates that movie with all these really good younger actors or actors on the rise like Kevin Bacon or kind of semi-established.

Speaker 2 And you see all the clips that have been running like since the, since his passing, since his death on Sunday, of people having these remembrances.

Speaker 2 And it's like Kevin Bacon in tears talking about how he needed a job. And like Reiner came through and got like, you know, Noah Wiley just being like, I'm on this, that shoot for like a week or two.

Speaker 2 Yeah. And he basically makes me feel like I'm the most important person on that set.
So it's just everybody seems to have this incredible

Speaker 2 connection to him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Spinal Tap. I mean, one of the the things when you write down all the movies that he did, and they're like best blank, Spinal Tap, which is the best music comedy ever made.

Speaker 1 And he taps in with these three guys who,

Speaker 1 you know, had had, were known in comedy circles, but Christopher Guest wasn't really Christopher Guest yet. Shears in that.

Speaker 1 McKeon, he had, he was known from Laverna and Churley, basically, but he gets in with those guys early and it ends up being what it is. Princess Bride, he's in with Goldman at this point.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He identifies Robin Wright.

Speaker 1 All the people he casts in that, that ends up being in the running for best non-animated fairy tale movie probably ever. It's one of the first ones.
It might be the best.

Speaker 1 Who is it competing against?

Speaker 2 It's also one of the most beloved movies across generations.

Speaker 2 How many movies are loved equally by seven-year-olds and 70-year-olds?

Speaker 1 And how many movies, it doesn't even matter when it came out. Yeah.
It's like that movie. I mean, Craig, when did you see that movie? As a kid, I've seen it a ton of times.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's just, it was one of those, there's certain movies that it just it kind of came out in the 80s you don't even remember when and it just keeps going american president we did that on the rewatchables too in the running for best president movie

Speaker 1 it's it's for me it's that and dave in the finals and i'd really have to uh have to target that but that one he captures gets douglas right at the tail end of his apex puts Annette Benning in there, whole thing.

Speaker 1 Few Good Men, Best Court Room movie. Probably the best modern court movie.
Courtroom movie. There's some older ones that would have a case but we've done that one twice misery

Speaker 1 might be the best stephen king movie it might be it's up there with shawshank yeah um also might be the best scary actress movie yeah

Speaker 1 uh does that with goldman stand by me

Speaker 1 probably the best pre-teen best

Speaker 1 king adaptation yeah yeah one of the best coming of age movies ever made ever

Speaker 1 When Harry Met Sally, not only in the running for best rom-com ever, but basically created the rom-com, the modern version of it in 1989. It's from that moment on, every movie is chasing.

Speaker 1 Let's, let's try to pull this off. Like when Harry met Sally, in that one,

Speaker 1 he identifies this Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan, not only the relationship, but both of them. Nobody thought Billy Crystal was going to be in a movie like that.

Speaker 1 Nobody thought Meg Ryan could play that character, basically a Diane Keene thing. So he nails both of those.
Stand by me. He nails the River Phoenix, the way he casts that movie.

Speaker 1 You go on through, and it's just, he's had an eye.

Speaker 1 And Sure Thing is maybe the ultimate example of that because he's in on this QSAC 17, the whole story of this where they have to, he has to file for emancipation. And Roger Peterbaum has to adopt him.

Speaker 1 The producer has to legally adopt him. And he's like, I need this kid in the movie.
And QSAC's still going.

Speaker 2 Let's talk a little bit, if you can, about what... What are some of the things across those movies that jump out? Because the thing that hit me watching Sure Thing again is that he's able to

Speaker 2 take funny scenarios and make them feel very serious or very serious scenarios and see the humor in them. And that happens, both of those things happen in the sure thing, right?

Speaker 2 Like he's able to put these kids in such dire straits on this road trip and see the hilarity in it, but also their desperation. And it's like the same thing for Stand By Me.

Speaker 2 There's absolutely heartbreaking moments in Stand By Me. And then he'll follow it up with a joke to kind of even the scales of the dramatic experience or the film going experience.

Speaker 2 And that's why I think we go back to these movies so many times is because he was able to see the totality of like a human experience in any given scene and in any given story.

Speaker 2 And it's like, even something that could have just been a super horny, forgettable 80s comedy that like you and I would be like, oh, you know what's really good is that this is actually like a lost classic in a lot of ways.

Speaker 1 No question.

Speaker 1 I think. A couple of things.
He was really good at pulling out exactly what you should like about somebody. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, like Billy Crystal, that's the best he's ever been in a movie when Harry Met Sally. But Robin Wright is like just perfect in Princess Bride.

Speaker 1 In this movie, like it's the most I've ever liked Cusack in a movie. And

Speaker 1 to me, like Cusack in this movie, I had season tickets for the next 12 years just because of this movie. Oh, I loved him in this movie.

Speaker 2 Doing this and high fidelity in such close succession makes me realize I think I've underrated the role that John Cusack played in like my imagination over the

Speaker 2 entire life.

Speaker 2 Like when you think about this, one crazy crazy summer uh better off dead say anything say anything and then on eight men out yeah all the way up through high fidelity i'm like yeah from like 10 to 30 this guy was basically like a sort of north star in my life yeah and misery is another one where uh kathy bates

Speaker 1 who we didn't really have a history with and she just absolutely crushes it and is awesome but that's weirdly a relationship movie it's her relationship with this writer that she really really loves and she becomes obsessed with.

Speaker 1 But it's a lot of scenes where it's just the two of them. You could take a lot of the movies that he's made and they could probably be a piece of.

Speaker 2 How many times could you simulate the casting and filming and entire thing of Stand By Me and not get River Phoenix, Wool Wheaton, Jerry O'Connell, Corey Feldman in that exact points in their lives?

Speaker 2 And like the like, you know, basically contrasting those performances against one another. It's like the perfect group.
of kid friends at that age. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Like I think in a way that like transcends anything like Spielberg ever did in that in that way.

Speaker 1 yeah i mean he had so many lifelong friends and a lot of them poured out this week with just really being upset about breaking the heartbroken yeah how it played out but i think one of the things that i know goldman like loved him yeah this was one of his favorite people ever worked with they did a lot of stuff together but that was the theme over and over again like once you once you did something with him you were like a friend for life and hollywood's not really that way this guy was friends with every type of comedian and actor that we had and and seemed like he kept the relationships and got the best out of them.

Speaker 1 But I think when I think about the movies that he made, the relationships in the movie are why they work.

Speaker 1 And I think you have to have a director that understands like a set, how to put people together, how to mesh two characters that might make sense on screen and actually have a relationship and then foster that on the set.

Speaker 1 And I just don't think a lot of people can do it. And,

Speaker 1 you know, ultimately, the re-watchability of his movies comes down to you just like hanging out with characters.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, he, there's a really good Making of the Sure thing that's on YouTube that you can watch along with this movie. And he talks about,

Speaker 2 he just reads a script, figures out who he is in the movie.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And then starts thinking about things from that perspective of, okay, if I'm Gibb in the, in the sure thing, or if I'm Kathy, even in a few good men, like.

Speaker 2 How would I go about and how would I perceive these different situations? And he's just really, really good.

Speaker 2 I mean, he has a quote in that make in this making of that he says, the emotional differences create the obstacles.

Speaker 2 you don't create the obstacles ahead of time and so he just finds these people who are just dissimilar enough to create tension but you know going into it like they're going to figure it out by the end of the two hours and there's something deeply satisfying about that yeah and he and he also is really good at long scenes

Speaker 1 which i think is a lost art you know when we do most rewatchable scene but you think of some of the great scenes that his movies have had like stand by me the story about the fat kid throwing up yeah you know and him, well, I forget Will Wheaton's character's name, but him telling the story to his buddies.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. And just the way that plays out.
It's like an eight-minute scene. There's a couple and sure thing like that, too, where just these long, long pieces.

Speaker 1 And then he really would know how to nail a moment. Like I, not to step on rewatchable, but I just love the ending of this movie so much with the professor reading the story.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's so fucking good. And I'm just, I'm so glad we're doing this because I think this is one of the best 80s movies.
I really do.

Speaker 1 I'm not talking, I'm talking about like teen, the high school college. I have a hottest take for that later, but it's a road trip movie.

Speaker 1 It's a two opposites rom-com. It's a horny teenagers trying to get late 80s movie.
It's weirdly kind of a fun college movie. And it all happens in an hour and 31 minutes or something.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, it's essentially coming in the aftermath of risky business and definitely has some elements of risky business in it, but is a much more grounded, less, maybe less overly stylized and much more like kind of human, regular, everyday story.

Speaker 2 I mean, you could see this happening to yourself at any point up until the invention of the internet, pretty much.

Speaker 1 Wednesday, we usually do Craig's Take at the end. We're doing it early because he'd never seen this movie before.

Speaker 1 And I knew out of anyone we'd ever done, I knew you would love it. And we have talked about doing this movie for years because I can't believe it's not streaming.

Speaker 1 I think it's not streaming because of the soundtrack, but what'd you think? Embarrassed to say I had never even heard of this movie. And I absolutely loved it.

Speaker 1 This will immediately go on my like favorites of the year for the Rewatchables. Oh, I adored it.
It's a 10 out of 10, five out of five, whatever letterbox score you want to give it.

Speaker 1 You only need, well, first of all, you only need 90 minutes if you're doing it right. Like you can do it right in 90 minutes if

Speaker 1 you have it all pieced together. Cusack, I totally agree, the most likable he's ever been.
I've never even really felt that connected to Cusack's characters. And I thought this was his best one.

Speaker 1 I can't believe he was like 16, 17 in 17, 17, yeah. When they filmed it.

Speaker 1 Chris and I were talking before that there is a little bit of like a before sunrise element to this movie where it's a lot of these long, slow moments between these two characters, and it's just one shot of them interacting, and there's no cuts between them.

Speaker 1 And you just fully buy into their evolution and their connection by the end of the movie. I think it's incredibly funny and really well written, really heartfelt.

Speaker 1 Like across the board, it's just, I loved it.

Speaker 2 When you're a kid, when you're young and you watch this movie, whenever I saw it first on like VHS in the 80s or whatever,

Speaker 2 you just take Gibb at face value and you're like, oh, this guy's really funny. And he's got like does all these different voices and has like all this energy.

Speaker 2 And then when you watch it now, you're like, oh, he's. He doesn't know who he is.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And so he's putting on all these airs and he's doing all these different characters basically within the movie. And it's such a subtle thing to notice over the years.

Speaker 2 Craig, you mentioned Link Lane, like the link later movies. Castle Rock was the production company

Speaker 2 on before

Speaker 2 sunrise and before sunset, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, and this feels like it could have been easily a link later movie. Yes.

Speaker 1 This, I found some list a couple months ago that just like I had from a notebook in college where I just wrote down my favorite movies of all time. This is like in 1991.

Speaker 1 And this was like number seven.

Speaker 1 It really was. I love this movie.
I watched it every time it was on. Yeah.
And for for whatever reason, the last 15 years or so, it died.

Speaker 1 And I do think it's one of those movies that, like, if Amazon got it or Netflix got it, it would immediately be like number one, number two, or number three in the trending for three weeks because it's so much fucking fun to watch.

Speaker 1 It's, it's also crazy that for Cusack,

Speaker 1 he's probably not in it because he thought he was going to be in the Breakfast Club. Oh, yeah.
And he was cast as John Bender.

Speaker 1 And then they actually brought him to the, and I don't know what the timing was, whether it would have overlapped with this, but he shows up for Breakfast Club and they're like, oh, he's all wrong.

Speaker 1 And they dump him. They fire him.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So they brought in Judd Nelson.
So he's at a point in his career where,

Speaker 1 first of all, Reiner wouldn't meet with him because he was too young for the party. He's supposed to be in college.
He'd only been in like class. He was in 16 candles.
He's in the background.

Speaker 1 You can barely see him.

Speaker 1 And they end up filming him from March, April 1984. He's emancipated.
And you watch this and you would have thought he would have been in like eight movies. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's basically the first time he's ever been in a movie. He's fucking home run.

Speaker 2 Almost every shot of the movie. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's so good. He's doing different characters and just carrying everything.

Speaker 1 I wrote down, I was trying to think of the most memorable young actor 80s movies performances.

Speaker 1 And I think it's this. I think it's Broderick and Ferris Bure.

Speaker 1 And weirdly, I think it's Judd Nelson and Breakfast Club. Sure.
And I think those are the three for when you watch a movie. First of all, they just kind of own the movie.

Speaker 1 But then when you saw it, when it happened, you're like, that guy's going to go on and win nine Oscars. And Slater and Pump Up the Volume, which is later.
Yeah, another one.

Speaker 1 Is there anyone whom I miss?

Speaker 2 Sean Penn and Taps.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's a good one.

Speaker 2 Because when you watch that, you're like, holy shit.

Speaker 1 I was thinking more like comedies where it was like, wow, this guy's killing it in this. Yeah, there's some other ones like Timothy Hutton.

Speaker 1 We could go through Cruise and Risky Business, I guess, is a really good one. But definitely a moment where you're like, oh, this guy's going to be in my life.
Cruising Risky Business is a good one.

Speaker 1 And then Daphne Zaniga, who's in this and Vision Quest same year, ends up in Spaceballs. Everybody liked her.

Speaker 1 And just another one of those things where not enough good parts probably got market corrected a couple times. And did TV.

Speaker 1 And ends up on Melrose Place as Joe, the rebellious photographer, who ends up getting involved with Jake.

Speaker 2 He's my favorite kind of photographer.

Speaker 1 And ends up in a little. Little love triangle with Jake and Amanda in season two.
And then eventually gets impregnated by somebody who tries to kill her at our high school reunion.

Speaker 1 What season does that happen? That's probably season three. And then her baby gets kidnapped by the dead guy's parents, and

Speaker 1 she had quite a run.

Speaker 2 Did she die in the show?

Speaker 1 No, she escaped with the baby.

Speaker 1 After the in-laws tried to kidnap the baby, she decided it was time to leave Melrose's place. But I always liked her.
And this part is a great part.

Speaker 1 It's it's, oh, I know this person. Yes.
Really uptight, kind of cool, pretty. You could tell there's some a fun person in there somewhere, but she's like, this is going to be my life.

Speaker 1 I knew these girls in college, as did you.

Speaker 2 Both Daphne's Nika and Qzack talk about their similarities to the characters.

Speaker 2 And they were like, Reiner clearly just like, she was like, I am way more like Allison than I, I was way more like Allison than I was comfortable admitting.

Speaker 2 And Reiner obviously just like got to know these people and recognized who they were and were like, let's bring this part out of you. He worked a lot on the script.

Speaker 2 I think the movie has so many connections to classic Hollywood screwball comedies. Like like it happened one night.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 And that's one of the really, you know, like among the hundred awful things about what's happened here. One of the sad things is the amount of institutional knowledge that goes with Rob Reiner.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 You know, because like obviously going back not only through his television career, but his father's huge career in Hollywood and this ability to kind of make connections between the past and the present in your work and to show people like, you know, there's only so many stories, right?

Speaker 2 Like we're just telling them in different ways with different references and with different, you know, updated characters. But, like, opposites attract on the road, make two of those a year.

Speaker 1 Like, that's all you need. Like,

Speaker 1 they're classics for a reason. You just have to modernize them.
Why is it not that hard?

Speaker 2 And he kind of sees, like, he's, you know, the fan of Preston Surgery, a fan of Frank Capro, wants to kind of make something like this. He gets this gig before Spinal Tap even comes out.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 When you think about how different this is to Spinal Tap, those are his first two movies. That's amazing.

Speaker 1 i as somebody who was a kid as his career kind of arced up he was meathead it was hard for him to believe that he was even going to direct the movie and did you think about him as carl reiner's son necessarily or was no i only knew him as meathead um

Speaker 1 and it was like meathead's gonna be director like that's you just knew him as meathead

Speaker 1 how else was i gonna know him and also like 35 million people watch that show every week yeah and he was like the uh you know that show is like i i would love to be in a room with kids in college watching like season one of our all in the family just to see the reactions um but he was like the hippie you know vietnam protester kind of son-in-law with like this reprehensible uh but lovable father-in-law right who would just insult everybody and he would just kind of battle with them and that's kind of who he became and he was smart enough he left the show because he was like i don't want to be meathead i sure i think there's probably more here but yeah he didn't shed meathead until this movie okay and after this movie it was like oh rob reiner he's good at this and then you know, stand by me, that then he was cemented.

Speaker 1 But this was a big movie. Like, this was a really important high school, college movie for everyone in my generation.
It was right. It was in there.
It was one of the OGs. It was with Ferris Bueller.

Speaker 1 It was with Breakfast Club. It was with Karate Kid, Teen Wolf, all of those.
It was right. It was right there.

Speaker 2 Of the QZ movies from this era, I think I watched, I mean, before Say Anything came out, I think I probably watched One Crazy Summer more. Yeah.
But that's just like a higher joke volume.

Speaker 2 So when I was a kid, that was like that, just watching something that had animation and had like all these different

Speaker 2 skits within the movie.

Speaker 1 That was a Zag movie, too, where some people are like, you know, what's fucking awesome? One crazy summer.

Speaker 1 This, I've, I watched this a bunch of time. The soundtrack's great.

Speaker 1 The two of them are awesome together: Zaniga and

Speaker 1 QSAC. But then you have young Anthony Edwards with hair.
Yep.

Speaker 1 Yeah. What a run for him.
Revenge of the Nerds.

Speaker 2 And he was, he, I mean, top gun.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Not to step on it, but he was up for Gibb.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 You have young Nicolette Sheridan.

Speaker 2 Fantastic.

Speaker 1 Just throwing her fastball. Shows up 20 years later in Desperate Housewives.

Speaker 1 Is that the sure thing woman? Yeah. Yeah.
I have a thought about her character I'm saving for later. Great.

Speaker 1 Tim Robbins. Yep.
Singing show tunes in the car.

Speaker 2 One of what would be many collaborations with QZ. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 2 Really good cast.

Speaker 2 A lot of that guys in this movie.

Speaker 1 Written by Jonathan Roberts and Stephen O'Bloom. Congratulations, guys.
You did great. $4.5 million budget.
Made $18.1 million. Not bad for $1985.

Speaker 1 Roger Ebert, three and a half stars. Fucking loved it.
Fucking killed it.

Speaker 2 I watched Cisco and Ebert talking about this today. They were like over the moon for it.

Speaker 1 Well, this is coming off, we should have mentioned this earlier, but this is a five-year run of horny teenagers trying to get laid movies. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The poster of this, the premise of it makes it seem like, oh, we're doing this again. And it's like, no, we're actually not doing this again.
Stick with us.

Speaker 1 So i think those guys were so grateful somebody put some actual thought and i think i don't even think this is the hottest take i think you could argue that this ended the porkies era like this actual this was the movie that was like we're done now oh like we've now elevated beyond this we're gonna move this way now yes and we're gonna put some more thought into this and you know because this movie sells sex but doesn't give you any i mean yeah i mean there's one sort of comic sex scene in this movie and other than that it's pretty chased and like the marketing and and the poster makes you think this is much more of a raunchy teen sex comedy.

Speaker 1 And it's really not. It's closer to like if the road trip scene from when Harry Met Sally was like the whole movie with two 18 year olds.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 There is another movie a year before that Coppelman's been badger mitted on rewatchables forever, The Flamingo Kid. Sure.

Speaker 1 That's different than this movie, but also it was like kind of that elevated, you think it's one thing, but it's actually a way better version of it.

Speaker 1 Ebert said, The love story is one of Hollywood's missing genres.

Speaker 1 The movie industry seems better at teenage movies like Porky's with its sleazy shower scenes than with screenplays that involve any sort of thought about the love lives of its characters.

Speaker 1 That's why the sheer thing is a small miracle. The film is so revolutionary, believes sex should be accompanied by respect and love.

Speaker 1 This episode is brought to you by Searchlight Pictures. Ever hit rock bottom and find yourself on stage telling jokes? That's the new film directed by Bradley Cooper.
It's called Is This Thing On?

Speaker 1 Starring legends Will Arnett, Laura Dern, Andrew Day, and Bradley Cooper. It's all about a guy trying to get his life back by throwing himself into the New York comedy scene.
So I saw this film.

Speaker 1 I thought it was really good. I thought Arnett was great.
My wife loved this movie. I just wanted to mention that.
So I think this checks all the date boxes. Is this thing on?

Speaker 1 Is now playing in select theaters. Get tickets today.

Speaker 1 All right, Most re-watchable scene. The opening credits are great.
Rod Stewart. Yes.
You like that song? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Infatuation.

Speaker 2 His disco-y funk era is not my favorite Rod Stewart, but it's a cool song.

Speaker 1 Like, if I put that on at a holiday party, would people thought that was weird? Like, hey, guys, here's Rod Stewart's infatuation. I'd wish she just played the truth thing soundtrack for the party.

Speaker 1 It's a great opening credits. Talk about like a way to hook you into the movie.
Like, you're locked in. Yeah.
Yeah. She does a great job.
The opening credits is a lost art in movies now.

Speaker 1 We don't do that anymore.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, the most like a lot of the big blockbusters now, I feel like pretty much skip the opening credits and get right into like a big action.

Speaker 1 There's no vibe setting, which is what it is really dope. The next rewatchables movie we're gonna do, which I'm not gonna spoil,

Speaker 1 has opening credits. Yeah, that's true.
It was noticeable. It's like, oh, guys,

Speaker 1 look at this.

Speaker 1 Going back to the well.

Speaker 1 Most rewatchable scene, the first classroom scene that sets up Gibb as our carefree, lovable kind of fuck up. I hope he can pull off just everything in life.

Speaker 1 And then Allison as the intense overachiever. Some good back and forth with them.

Speaker 1 I like a good football scene in these 80s, 90s.

Speaker 2 Honestly, if they wanted to do the first hour and a half of this movie being just football on the quad, I would have taken it. This is such a funny fucking scene.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 From like him announcing it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 The announcing that's going on. He also keeps getting.
He's like Ed Reed.

Speaker 1 He keeps getting it. He's a good athlete.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Pretty good. He's tall.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I love this scene.

Speaker 1 And I love the

Speaker 2 moment where he like runs by Allison and her friend and never like says hi, but just keeps his Pat Sommerall announcing going. And then like, it's just kind of looking at her.

Speaker 2 And she's kind of like, it's just such a great little moment. And they don't have any real interaction until he goes and stalks her down by the pool.

Speaker 1 Craig, how much two-on-two football have you played in your life? Tons.

Speaker 1 On the beach? It's a big movie.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Movies love the two-on-two flag football.

Speaker 2 And then what is it like? They were playing 51,000 for Blitz. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They did the stop and go. That's always a good one.
That's the best route.

Speaker 2 That's the Kevin Petulo right there.

Speaker 1 I knew you got to sell the pump fake, though. Right, true.
I knew nothing as an only child.

Speaker 1 So basically anything I knew from colleges were from going to visit my Uncle Don and my Aunt Louise in college or movies. Uh-huh.
And I just thought movies were like,

Speaker 1 I thought college was like movies like this where I absolutely was.

Speaker 1 You went to your buddy's room and he had 10,000 beer bottles all stacked up. Is it not like that? I feel like it is like people play football no in my head i was like this is college

Speaker 1 but i thought when like when they're like it's friday night the guy has a miller hot guy opening the window going it's friday night you want to do the most giveable moment i don't know how that friday beers get on that right now because that's an iconic moment of that yeah that guy's also like 28 but i love that yeah i love that and then immediately everybody is like playing soccer in the hall and exchanging kegs it's like

Speaker 1 the swimming pool scene's funny that's where you're like oh q sack's just gonna go go for a coach whole movie.

Speaker 1 Gibb and Allison getting kicked out of Gary Cooper's car,

Speaker 1 played by Tim Robbins, which includes Showtunes, shotgunning a beer and eating cheese balls, I think, which is the Bikahuna Burger word for best use of food or drink. Allison flashing a car.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It'll turn the tables.

Speaker 1 And then Tim Robbins escaping with a

Speaker 1 lock the doors. When that woman screams, she is so funny.
His wife locks the door and she's like, ah!

Speaker 1 possible great shot gordo award here they're they're they're outside the car's gone in qsec city on the ground with the camera and the road behind them and and daphne zanuga's character is behind them um it's a good one gib foiling the uh hitchhiker possible rapist

Speaker 1 where he does that i mean that could be some crazy slime ball

Speaker 1 He's really funny in that. Eat it just for pleasure.

Speaker 1 The scene where it just starts pouring rain on them. Yeah.
And she remembers she has a credit card, but can only use it for emergencies. I hope one comes up.

Speaker 1 Maybe one will come up.

Speaker 1 I'm a big fan of these scenes of the rom-com. The accidental cuddle scene.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Always works. Gibb wakes up cuddling Allison.

Speaker 1 Oh, sorry, sorry. No, it's all right.
Like at that point, it's like, come on, Gibb. She's sending you the official signs now.
I mean, she's like, you can sleep in the bed with me. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Come on, Gibb.

Speaker 1 They get a ride, and he tells the trucker his whole sure thing story, which, of course, she wakes up for.

Speaker 1 Two more scenes. The Lance's Hollywood

Speaker 1 Tahiti France. His Hawaiian 80s party just sounded amazing.
The Punch Bowl insults were funny. And then the last one, which is my pick, the professor reading the sure thing essay.
Yes. Does God exist?

Speaker 1 Who invented liquid soap and why? And then the answer was no.

Speaker 1 That scene's awesome. Yes.

Speaker 2 She, you're like, why do they keep going to this professor? Like, what's going to be the payoff with her? And it really, Vivica Lindfors, is that who plays her?

Speaker 1 Yeah, she's some old school actress. She's an old school Hollywood actress.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I just want to shout out a honorable mention rewatchable scene, the dive bar scene.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. I was just

Speaker 1 random, but the guy being like, I had fried food today. I shouldn't have done it.

Speaker 1 And it's just like those three guys sitting at the bar and being like, we're pretty good looking.

Speaker 2 You know, I love that.

Speaker 1 But we got better at the 80s and 90s with just having random dive bar scenes with weird characters but it's also like that

Speaker 1 scene doesn't actually have like a purpose other than

Speaker 1 this is maybe where he's gonna wind up if he doesn't get his together it's the only scene that can be cut and it might be my favorite scene in the movie and i get the waitress who keeps coming back and he's just keeps giving her like random facts and she's just like cool that's one of my two flexes are the two i wrote down in this scene is the rick dalton award for the best acting i've ever seen in my life the The fat drunk guy at the bar, I think, is some of the best drunk acting I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 It's amazing.

Speaker 2 I was like, is this Brando in makeup person?

Speaker 1 He's amazingly. He's remarkably good.
I looked him up. His name is George Mamoli.
He actually died in 1985.

Speaker 1 He's been in a bunch of other movies. He had an accident on set.
He was supposed to be in taxi driver. Scorsese, in an interview in 2002, said he died because of that injury on set.
Oh, but

Speaker 1 I know it's crazy. Craig's like really bringing it today.

Speaker 1 I've honestly loved it. I feel like I've already seen the movie 10 times, even though I've watched it once.

Speaker 2 I'm going to say, fuck it.

Speaker 2 I'm going to go with the dive bar, even though Allison's not in it that's the most re-watchable scene have you ever had a professor who could read anything that well in front of a class i was gonna bring up creative writing workshops uh a little bit later but we can i never have it i've had some pretty magnetic professors but they were more like monologuing doing their lectures the creative writing workshops are are a real crapshoot my eighth grade english teacher wally ramsey father of my buddy gus

Speaker 1 he would read essays sometime and was really good at it yeah that's the only one i she's going first pass on that essay is just nailing it. It's really, really crushing it.

Speaker 1 Also, she does the thing that I don't think teachers do anymore where she grades people out loud in front of everyone. Yeah, now that would cause, that would cause an absolute.

Speaker 1 She's like, Allison, I liked it, but open up a little bit more. Yeah.
B plus. That's how that's how it just goes to the next person.
That's how they got Lydia Tarr. You know,

Speaker 1 I should do that at the end of the year with the ringer staff. On mic, review every podcast with Catholic.
Cahal, I thought you had a great year.

Speaker 1 To be fair, you opened this podcast doing that to me that's true

Speaker 1 a little bit of fluff in the beginning cr yeah but then you got to where you needed to go yeah

Speaker 1 what's the most 1985 thing about this movie

Speaker 1 writing detailed letters to your friends from high school yeah

Speaker 2 yes

Speaker 1 dear sean

Speaker 1 i'm having a great time in school i saw one battle after another i thought it was awesome i know you must have loved it and then you just send it not here for three days Yeah.

Speaker 1 We really did do that.

Speaker 1 I would send letters to my friends. I would say that

Speaker 2 emails to friends were still pretty long until I got GChat

Speaker 2 in like 02.

Speaker 2 And then it just turned into like everything was one sentence.

Speaker 2 But like up until like when I, when you first had to like go to the library to log into your email, I would still be like, well, I'm only coming here like twice a week. So I'm writing a long email.

Speaker 1 We would have the mailbox in college. It was like genuinely exciting to go to the mailbox every day and see if you got a letter from somebody.
It's really strange. Sounds like a better time.

Speaker 1 I like the line from Lance. I'm talking to you cordless.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's pretty 1985.

Speaker 1 More in 1985, writing funny sex story letters to penthouse. Yes.
Everyone tried this in the 80s. I did not.
I'm talking to you cordless.

Speaker 1 Everyone. Everyone.
Trust me.

Speaker 1 I'm talking to you cordless. I had, and then Allison had an amazing culture club poster in her room.

Speaker 2 She had the Paul Newman one in Culture Club, right?

Speaker 1 The Culture Club poster probably had a five-month shelf life. By 1986, you're not having that poster.

Speaker 2 You've moved on to the boss or something.

Speaker 1 Did you have any of that?

Speaker 2 I don't know if this is still a thing, but the ride bulletin board.

Speaker 1 So I wondered about that. I wondered if they still must have that, though, right? Or maybe it's now a message board.

Speaker 2 I just feel like it's either a message board or it's just like, yeah, my buddy's driving back to Atlanta, so I'm going to get a ride with him or something.

Speaker 2 You know, like it's the idea of just being like, I guess I'll get in this car for three days with this person who's the only thing I know about them is that they put an index card up on a bulletin board.

Speaker 2 It seems highly unlikely.

Speaker 1 I had this in one stage, the worst, but getting a ride with them, but then also sharing a hotel with two double beds. With strangers, I gotta admit that.
I don't think that happens in 25.

Speaker 2 No, but I will say some of the best road trips I've ever had have been like random going back to going back home for Thanksgiving with a couple of like like Andy and I used to go back to Philly with Thanksgiving and he would take a bunch of his buddies from Brown University with him.

Speaker 2 So I would drive some people with me and it would always be the best. Like those, those like we're out of school for a week.
Let's go is the best feeling.

Speaker 1 Woodsage the best. The soundtrack,

Speaker 1 which I think is the reason this movie is not streaming. includes Rod Stewart Infatuation, Huey Lewis, Hard of Rock and Roll.

Speaker 1 John Waits Crying Over You,

Speaker 1 which I forgot how much I loved. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Harding.

Speaker 1 Sing it. Crying Over You.
He had a couple of bangers. Wait.

Speaker 2 He really did.

Speaker 1 Eagles Heartbreak Tonight. Yeah.
The Cars, You Might Think. Wang Chung Dance All Days.
Lights Out by Peter Wolf.

Speaker 1 And then Penny Lover by Lionel Ritchie. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Which is...

Speaker 1 Maybe his best song.

Speaker 1 I think that's like a zag. I don't know if I believe it.
But I think you could say say it's his best constructed song.

Speaker 2 Better than smells like Teen Spirit.

Speaker 1 This, well, I can't wait to talk about that.

Speaker 1 Moore would say it's the best. I mentioned how the movie Made College seem just so great.

Speaker 1 But this is like an awesome place.

Speaker 2 I would say I couldn't decide whether to put it in best or worst, but the

Speaker 2 scene of Anthony Edwards calling John Cuzak from from within he's in UCLA, but it seems like he's at Pepperdine because he's got the no he said he was at his buddy's malibu oh that's right he's at his buddy's malibu place and like there's just like 14 girls drinking diet coke the playboy mansion basically yeah and he's just like were you doing that at san diego

Speaker 1 buddies

Speaker 1 no dude we're in la jolla i'm talking to you cordless

Speaker 2 that is one of like the hardest things to get your head around though like when you if you've gone to if you went to college in the northeast and then you hear about what college was like for people who went to school in southern california You're just like, God damn it.

Speaker 1 What was I thinking?

Speaker 2 Why did I think nine months of dark, cold weather would be a good idea?

Speaker 1 There's a couple schools out here that are like that. Like the UCSB

Speaker 1 was like the stealth flight club.

Speaker 1 The student body didn't even talk about it. They wanted nobody else to know.
Now everyone knows, but I think that they had it like hidden for a while. Just like how great it was? Yeah.

Speaker 1 How great it is to go to school in Santa Barbara and just have

Speaker 1 a huge party town. They're like legendary for their for halloween there it's insane

Speaker 1 but san diego is another one they're like just good place to go to college a lot of stuff going on um i like the line how would you like to have a sexual encounter so intense it could change your political views just good writing what's age the best professors with cool accents reading essays in class yeah i had this in college professor vanicelli rip

Speaker 1 um snowy college campuses fun

Speaker 1 i want to shout out for what's age the best the stuffy boyfriend that she had In two minutes,

Speaker 1 yeah. In two minutes, he talks about his flannel sheets that he just put on.

Speaker 1 He has choices of tea.

Speaker 1 He cleared out her draw for her for the week. And then he's a big gin rummy guy offering to give her extra points.
They just nailed everything with that.

Speaker 2 And every time she's just like, let's go to Disneyland.

Speaker 1 He's like, well, Disneyland is

Speaker 1 children.

Speaker 2 He's for children. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The whole concept of giving somebody a real name like Nick, Nick's your buddy, Nick's a guy you can trust, Nick will let you puke in your car.

Speaker 1 Do you think Nick's the right name for that?

Speaker 1 In 1985, probably Ben. That was one of the reasons I named my son Ben.
I feel like Ben's are just really reliable.

Speaker 1 When is a Ben ever let you down?

Speaker 1 And then Lance's room,

Speaker 1 which not only had the 100 different beer bottles, but had the 1984 tennis poster of the girl's ass where she's putting the ball in and there's an ass cheek, which was there in the 80s for a while.

Speaker 1 But I think people realized eventually, like, this isn't the greatest way to have the opposite side of the story.

Speaker 2 I did have from What's Age the Worst what Lance's room probably smelled like? Because you know, he's not thoroughly washing those beer bottles out, so it probably just smells like sweat.

Speaker 2 Oh, it smells like drink beer and skunked beer. And he's like, This is the love palace.

Speaker 1 This is where I take all the chips. You have any other What's Age the Best?

Speaker 2 No, I mean, just

Speaker 2 the vision of 1980s college life was really aged the best between the classes, the fashions, the, I love the way Allison has divided her day where she's like, you know, six o'clock calculus, 6.45 phone call, you know, like,

Speaker 2 and just like the Friday night partying and stuff like that. That was my favorite.

Speaker 2 Also, what's aged the best is, or actually, you know, you could say it's the worst, but was it easier back then when somebody would just be like, hey, here's a picture of a girl I think you might like.

Speaker 2 And that was the extent of the knowledge that you had. And you had to actually like go meet her.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like done. Yeah.
Go and cross country. We should mention what's age the best, uh, young QSEC, just knowing that uh, you're gonna spend the next 40 years with this guy.

Speaker 1 I have a special Amanda Dobbins award for the uh best piece of real estate, the three-story Malibu House in Gibbs's Dreams. Yes, great house, that's like a hundred million dollar house now.

Speaker 2 Oh, it's insane!

Speaker 1 Three stories, right on the beach, it's like a staircase. There's an elevator who shot that.

Speaker 2 Do you think that was in Malibu? Do you think that was in

Speaker 1 Mimosa?

Speaker 2 No, I think it was like way down in Malibu closer to like when it, uh, when it gets a little barren um great chat god award can we just say the man who shot this film shot there will be blood that is fucking nice and another hallmark of rob breiner movies he works with incredible people he picks like the best people to shoot and cut and write his movies uh and robert elswit was the dop on this yeah um i wouldn't know that if you put two frames next to each other but it is an indication of of his eye for talent yeah i mean that was like Goldman's favorite guy to do stuff with.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And Goldman, when he started working with him, Goldman, Goldman and Robert Towne were the two best screenwriters, right? Reiner's like, come on.

Speaker 1 And Goldman was going through, I think, a little bit of a tough time, like writer's block, back issues, and the Reiner stuff really like reinvigorating. Like Tracy McGready.
Yeah, a little bit.

Speaker 1 Like Tracy McGreeady on the Rockets. Great shot, Gordo.

Speaker 1 I was going to say the wallet being in the bed is so well done when it's that shot of them looking, them looking, they're looking around, and then they leave and it just comes down and you just see the the wallet and all the stuff is really good what'd you have i just had the dolly shot of gib walking up and down the pool yelling at her

Speaker 2 it's just like a right on the edge of absurd yeah he jumps in the pool and it's just like such a great like piece of visual visual joke

Speaker 1 kid cut your pursuit of happiness or best needle drop it could be infatuation up in credits but i think penny lover drops at a really nice time for the slow dance i thought you might think when you walk into the frat party was like that's what i would want to hear if I was walking into a Tahitian-themed frat party.

Speaker 2 That's good.

Speaker 1 CR's choice for a flex category. What do you got?

Speaker 2 Book About Metals Award for belatedly best quote or exchange is when Qzak says that he plays football for Grambling and his friend is like, I thought it, I thought Grambling was all black.

Speaker 1 And Qusak just goes, so what?

Speaker 1 It's such a random little line.

Speaker 2 He's like, it's nine interceptions on this season for Grambling.

Speaker 1 And he's like, I thought Grambling was all black.

Speaker 1 That's a good one.

Speaker 1 Butch's girlfriend award for week link of the film.

Speaker 1 They just don't do a good enough job with the

Speaker 1 Sheridan character, the sure thing.

Speaker 1 Even in the moment, not feeling great for her, but then the years later, she's just, she's, I don't know, I just feel bad for her. I wish she had been like 10% more like kind of on it.
So neither.

Speaker 1 No, you you think it's perfect? No, no, no.

Speaker 1 I think it's the only glaring issue with this movie is that he's getting this gorgeous brown woman at UCLA is just roaming around a frat party with no one near her. Nothing.

Speaker 2 She's literally getting pimped out by Anthony Edwards. He's just like, come here.

Speaker 1 And she's ready for it. Sure.
And for the next hour and a half, I'll just follow John Qsack around and hope he talks to me. No other man is speaking with me.
I have nothing else to do. Yeah.

Speaker 1 She's like the hottest woman in LA and no one's getting near her.

Speaker 2 Don Simpson's stepson is probably there or whatever.

Speaker 1 She would be hounded. Should have been hounded.
Some guy on the East Coast. But this was an 80s trope where

Speaker 1 either it was that or it was Lori Laughlin and secret admirer with nobody likes her and she's like smoking hot.

Speaker 2 The casting or the presentation of the two other people in these people's lives. So Jason, the boyfriend at UCLA and Nicolette Sheridan, it's like.

Speaker 2 I could stand for them to be a little bit more relatable or human, but like I understand why you have to make them caricature.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're like props. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What's age the worst? QSEC tries a valley girl accent at one point, which was very in vogue in 85, but now is like

Speaker 1 somebody that now. I don't know if anyone's getting the joke.
Yeah, or you'd think they were doing like California cases. What was that? The Californian skill.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I have a good What's Age the Worst, though. And this is a theme for 80s movies.

Speaker 1 80s teens being really fascinated by stars and outer space as a way to make it seem more human to girls. This is a big one in Can't Buy Me Love.

Speaker 1 But it's a lot like, it was a way to show that there was more to the guy than just trying to get laid. We'd be like, it's all out there, man.
Yeah. All these stars.

Speaker 1 And it'd be like, how do they have in a moment? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Now I realize I probably should have done that more when I was trying to.

Speaker 2 Do you think that there's like a telescopes became more widely available kind of thing that's happening with that?

Speaker 1 Why do we have too much info in outer space now? And it's like, yeah, there's some shit up there. Yeah.

Speaker 1 we've kind of, we've kind of explored everything. Put some satellites, yeah, it's just some stars.
There's no human life.

Speaker 2 Um, I have for what's age the worst, uh, the character named Walter Gibson, not a name you see on a lot of white guys anymore.

Speaker 1 No, he'd be like a left guard for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Speaker 1 Walter Gibson's probably will come back. Do you really? Kirby Smart really saw something in him, right?

Speaker 2 Uh, writing workshops, I know they help people with their work, but I, I, you have to listen to a lot of bad writing when you're in writing workshops.

Speaker 1 And you, and you have to do a lot of

Speaker 1 kind of really forced in compliments.

Speaker 2 Yeah, like I had to like at Everson, I had to listen to like Vampire Erotica and just be like, that was pretty good.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I think you may want to think about the last act.

Speaker 1 Chris, you really have an eye for characters.

Speaker 2 Your ear for dialogue is amazing.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Ear for dialogue is a good compliment. Hitchhiking? Yeah.

Speaker 2 We don't do that too much anymore. It's probably age the worst.

Speaker 1 You know why we don't do it? Because Netflix has been 45 true crime documentaries that end with a hitchhiker being murdered.

Speaker 2 Not to get dark, but was there a definitive end to hitchhiking something happening?

Speaker 1 End of the end of the 70s. Okay.
Yeah. I think the 70s it was going.
And then there were actually like PSA TV movies that I remember watching

Speaker 1 in the late 70s where it was like, this guy. Did you ever hitchhike?

Speaker 1 Never. Okay.
By the 80s, people didn't do that. Okay.
But it was member of Paul Thomas Anderson's dad who would do the ABC ads. They would do like,

Speaker 1 Sally thought it would be a good idea to go cross country. She thought wrong.
The angel dust diary of a teenage hitchhiker tonight at nine. I would see.

Speaker 1 But yeah, it was what they put the fear of God in you with the after school specials and everything else. It's a good scene, obviously, and it helps his character develop.

Speaker 1 And I don't know if Allison, for who she is, for how pragmatic she is, if she would have gotten in that car with that guy. I think she's at her wit's end, though.

Speaker 2 Like, we're, I mean, they are in the Great Plains in that scene. So, like, I don't know where she's going.
Uh,

Speaker 2 yeah, and probably at this point, it

Speaker 2 it's aged the worst to travel 3,000 miles to get laid just because there are apps now.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's just going on.

Speaker 1 What site would he go on now, Craig?

Speaker 1 Not that I use them, but Bumble, Hinge, Tinder.

Speaker 1 No free ads. Not that I use them.
Not, that, that. That'd be a good sponsored segment with Craig.
Raya, if you're, if you're really cool. Yeah.
Yeah. I don't think Gibbs getting on Raya.

Speaker 1 The Rufflo Hannah Rubinik Partridge over Acting Word. It's QSAC a couple times, but I love it every time.
Q sack the hitchhiker. Totally necessary.
Q sack the crazy hitchhiker. Totally necessary.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 do we retire? The CR thinks Luke Wilson could have been Harrison Ford hottest take award and change it to the Rob Mahoney thinks smells like teen spirits sucks a word. I think it's, is it time?

Speaker 1 I'm willing to like break vote.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think so. The categories, sure.

Speaker 2 The categories could use a new coat of pain. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So we call it the Rob Mahoney

Speaker 1 thinks smells like teen spirits suck the whole time. We should do a rewatchables hottest take

Speaker 1 like March Madness bracket or like a clip show and then just have like all of the hottest takes like the best 64 we've ever done and have them compete and see which one wins.

Speaker 2 My hottest take for be it Rob Mahoney or the Luke Wilson is that Gibb and Allison met just a hair too early to make it really work in their lives. It's just freshman year is tough, man.
Freshman year.

Speaker 2 And for that to be the forever relationship, those guys are going to go through a lot of changes. They're going to discover a lot of new music.

Speaker 2 They're going to try some different drugs you know like it's about to get really cokey out there in the 80s you never know what's going to happen yeah and

Speaker 2 i just don't really know if gibb is gibb's going to be able to like dial it in academically i think they're they're supposed to be at like cornell you know allison's not going to not i always thought brown but yeah cornell is a big new york that they're supposed to be in but uh yeah it's it's a sad sad little truth but i don't think gibb and allison are forever couple i had this later for probably unanswerable.

Speaker 1 So I'll just do it now. I think it's going great.
And I think he gets drunk one night and makes out with another girl and she never forgives him.

Speaker 1 And then at some point, campus police might have had to intervene because he kept showing up at a room at the end.

Speaker 2 Over under sophomore first semester that they make it to. Do you think they make it through that first summer?

Speaker 1 No. Really? I think they do.
I think they make it through most of college and he starts to have the same crisis he has at the end of high school where he's like, I

Speaker 1 got to go on and be myself and do something else. I can't be with the same girl into my 20s.

Speaker 2 Do you think Lance remains a thorn in the side for the relationship, or has he become like...

Speaker 1 Yeah, Lance is out. He marries a biologist.

Speaker 1 I think Gibb wins the Intramural Football Championship and it goes right to his hand.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he transfers to gambling.

Speaker 1 He hits the portal.

Speaker 1 My CR thinks Luke Wilson could have been Harrison Ford, Hottest Take, which we're now retiring and naming after Rob Money and Smozzley, Teen Spirit, Hottest Take a Word.

Speaker 1 I think Risky Business and The Sure Thing are the two best 80s teen movies

Speaker 1 with teen characters as their prototype.

Speaker 2 Risky Business and The Sure Thing.

Speaker 1 Okay. I think they are the top two.
I would have Breakfast Club third and I have Karate Kid fourth.

Speaker 2 You don't have, is Bueller five?

Speaker 1 I think I would have Bueller five.

Speaker 2 Really? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. That's.

Speaker 1 If I do Mount Rushmore, I'd have those as the four

Speaker 1 and then Bueller five. And Bueller versus Karate Kid is a good argument.
It's a. I mean, Cry to Kids, like,

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 2 I just think of it more as a sports movie than I do as a teen movie. All right, fair.

Speaker 1 I'll bump Karate Kid. Risky Business, Sheer Thing, Breakfast Club, Ferris.
Yeah. As a Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 1 I think that might be it for me. I'll move Crytic Kid to the sports movie territory.
Thank you. Yeah.
All right.

Speaker 1 Casting what ifs. You mentioned Anthony Edwards almost got the lead, and then QSEC got the part.
They moved him over. Robin Wright auditioned for the title role, didn't get it.

Speaker 1 For Nicolas Sheridan's part, filed it away for

Speaker 1 Princess Bride.

Speaker 2 To your point, or to our point, where we're like,

Speaker 2 if it's Robin, right?

Speaker 1 The movie doesn't work. Yeah.
Because she's the most beautiful person.

Speaker 1 It's unrealistic that she would be single for a minute. No one else would be like, thanks for the ride, Allison.
I'll see you later. Yeah.
Right.

Speaker 1 Allison, bye.

Speaker 1 I hope it works out with Boyd.

Speaker 1 Good luck with that shit, Robbie.

Speaker 1 Best That Guy Award. Oh, there's a couple other casting widows.

Speaker 2 Anthony Edwards was up for Gibb, as we said, and Mayor Winningham for Allison.

Speaker 1 Probably Zuniga is probably a better.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but you can see it in St. Almost Fire.
Yeah. You can see where they were coming from.

Speaker 1 I almost did that for my hottest take.

Speaker 1 Maybe I could do a second one. Go ahead.
It's your pod. Daphne Zuniga, I think, should have been in the Brad Pack.

Speaker 1 I think she easily could have replaced Ale Sheedy in all the Ale Sheedy parts. And I would rather, I just would rather have her than Ale Sheedy, just in general.
I think St.

Speaker 1 Elmo's Fire is better with her. I think Breakfast Club's better with her.

Speaker 1 So I would say. I even think Bad Boys would be better with her.

Speaker 2 There's a weird moment right at, well, not a weird moment, but it's like one crazy summer, Demi Moore is basically playing the Daphne Zenika part.

Speaker 2 It's the person that QZ character is kind of with the whole movie,

Speaker 2 but is distracted from and then eventually realizes like, I'm in love with this person, right? And I wonder how much of a Demi Moore career Zach Daphne Zega could have had.

Speaker 1 Interesting.

Speaker 1 Well, she ended up getting

Speaker 1 knocked up by her high school reunion guy and then fighting for custody with her in-laws. Season three.

Speaker 1 Best that guy.

Speaker 1 The trucker.

Speaker 2 Larry Hankin.

Speaker 1 You know who the trucker is? No.

Speaker 2 Did you recognize, like, were you like, legendary 900 times the actor?

Speaker 1 Didn't recognize him. He played

Speaker 1 the cranky friend's neighbor who ended up dying. Oh, he also played Kramer's Alter Ego in the Seinfeld.
The Bizarro episode.

Speaker 1 No, was it the Bizarro episode or the one where they did the TV show about Seinfeld?

Speaker 2 I can't remember.

Speaker 1 I think it was when they did the TV show. Oh, okay.
And Kramer didn't get to play Kramer, but everybody else did. I think that was Larry Hankin.
It's been around for a long time.

Speaker 2 Carmen Philippi was, or Philippi was the bus station bum in

Speaker 2 Boston. In this movie, he was the preacher in Halloween 4.

Speaker 2 And he's in a bunch of Tim Burton movies. That's a good one.
And he's in Wedding Singer.

Speaker 1 One more break, and then we'll do DM Waiters.

Speaker 1 This episode is brought to you by salty, cheesy, cheese-it crackers. Should this whole podcast just be me eating cheese-it? That would be a top-notch podcast.

Speaker 1 You could hear them crunching in my mouth. You could think about how salty and savory and delicious they are.
You can just get cheese it on the brain. Oh man.
Those cheese-it cravings, they get you.

Speaker 1 Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, cheese-it. Yeah.
Cheese-it crackers. Go check them out.
Deion Waiters Award. You know, I checked.
I'm due to do a rewatchables mailbag or a mailbag for my pod or some sort of mailbag.

Speaker 1 Multiple people have pushed for this to be the Bill Paxton Award

Speaker 1 instead of the Deion Waiters Award. I'm not good with changing Deion Waiters.
I think Degan spent 10 years at Deion Waiters.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't feel like we can change that. It's also funny that he's been out of basketball for five years.

Speaker 2 It's a real race to see who people know less, Dion Waiters, or or we own the city, you know, or Wayne Jenkins.

Speaker 1 It might be Dion. Dion Waiters, the teacher, fifteen limb force, Tim Robbins, Anthony Edwards's Lance, or the Shore Thing.
I actually think it's the teacher.

Speaker 2 I think you're right. Robbins is right behind them.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Robbins is going to take good care of himself.

Speaker 1 Why aren't you singing, honey?

Speaker 1 He's just, he's kind of mad that they're not singing in the back. Recast the Couch Director of City.
I love everybody. I wouldn't change a thing.

Speaker 1 I maybe would identify the college campus and really go hard on like a Georgetown or a Brown or just so we know where we are, but they didn't want to.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's like a year too late.

Speaker 2 It would just be really, it would, it would be really fun if like Tom Cruise was Lance, you know.

Speaker 1 Rob Lowe could have been Lance. I'm surprised he wasn't available.
I'm coming from, I'm coming to you cordless.

Speaker 1 Craig has a flex category.

Speaker 1 I did the Rick Dalton.

Speaker 1 Can I just save it for picking nits? Yep. Because I, yeah.
Half-fast earned at research. Some guy named Robert Bauer played the same character named Moak in this and Spinal Tap.

Speaker 1 The scene when Gibb teaches Allison to shotgun a beer was added to the script because QSAC told Reiner this was one of his talents. So I threw it in.

Speaker 2 Where'd it go?

Speaker 1 Reiner said he shot at multiple colleges, so it'd be a generic, but obviously Ivy League or NESCAC type.

Speaker 2 I will say, I forgot to put this at what stage of the worst is that now that I've lived in California for a little while, like you can tell 90% of the movie is shot in California, even though it's a rogue movie.

Speaker 2 And you can be like, oh yeah, this is just Stockton.

Speaker 1 Gibb is wearing the

Speaker 1 green and gold kangaroos jersey of an Australian National Rugby League team of that era. And they just, they gave it to him because they liked the way the jersey looked.

Speaker 1 But then I guess for the next 10, 20 years, people were mentioning it to Cusack.

Speaker 2 i just assume that all t-shirts that john cusack wears in john cusack movies are john cusack's t-shirts yeah

Speaker 1 people are like yo kangaroos he's like what

Speaker 1 apex mountain cusack no daphney zaniga

Speaker 2 excited probably space balls the next year how about apex mountain for whatever sexual position gibbs roommate is pulling

Speaker 2 because i honestly he we should have put him in the on wingers he was great i've never seen it before i don't even know what you would call it is that the spelunker Like, what's he doing?

Speaker 1 He was the skin. What do they call him? Skin crawlers or skinwalkers?

Speaker 1 He was like a skinwalker.

Speaker 1 You believe in skinwalkers? No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 What are skinwalkers?

Speaker 1 It's on Instagram.

Speaker 1 If you follow any of those weird accounts, they'll start serving you skinwalker stuff.

Speaker 2 What are you talking about? It's like

Speaker 1 it's like the wide shot of like... There's like a security camera at a bank and like a skinwalker walks by.
It's like these little skeletons that walk weird. They kind of look like

Speaker 1 to do with a sexual position in the door because they have like their legs are backwards.

Speaker 1 Bill, what the fuck are you talking about? I've never seen this. You've never seen skinwalkers? No, I've never.
This is like an AI like bit that they do.

Speaker 1 Obviously, I'm following better Instagram accounts than give me what's like although I may be done with Instagram. I'm tired of the AI.
Oh, yeah. I'm tired of getting fooled by the AI.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I saw one the other night of like, I was looking, I was pretty gripped by it.
I got, I got hoodwinked with

Speaker 1 people in like a yeah clanked a skyscraper pool like a pool that like sucks out under the sky and then the glass starts to break and they were like oh it's ai and i was like dude i was like this is pretty good i saw one where there was a fist fight at a game and the guy got punched and rolled down the stairs and went off the baseball stadium like triple deck yeah i wouldn't have heard about that and i was like i probably would have seen this on sports center if this happened

Speaker 2 yeah they would have let sports center

Speaker 2 coming up next honestly can you imagine if sports center just became like the chive and it was just like, it's like an incredible thing that happened.

Speaker 1 That's what they should do at Sports Center is just the AI video. Crowd fights.
It's just ridiculousness. Instead, it's like Saturday or Saturday.

Speaker 1 What do you got first, Jeff?

Speaker 1 I told Traeger he's got to do Peter's pants.

Speaker 1 That like that could be his hook segment. And he's like, it's time for Peter's Pans.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And then he like has pants.

Speaker 2 Hannah Storm doing Skinwalker of of the Week.

Speaker 1 Is a Skinwalker a real thing or a made-up name?

Speaker 2 This is like kind of terrifying because he's like, he, I don't know, first of all, how you made that association.

Speaker 1 You were talking about his body was like bent in a weird spot.

Speaker 1 Where did that phrase come from? Is that what is a skinwalker? Oh, here's a skinwalker. Look at the dogs barking at the skinwalker.
Yeah, Bill, that's like skeletons. That's a cartoon man.

Speaker 1 I'm just telling you,

Speaker 1 it's on Instagram. I don't know what's going on.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Wait, I have more Apex Mountain. Skinwalkers.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Anthony Edwards, no.

Speaker 1 Did you say road trip movies? I was about to. Yeah.
Road trip movies? No. Midnight run.

Speaker 2 This or Green Book?

Speaker 1 No, it's Midnight Run. Green Book.

Speaker 1 We got to step here. I'm doing some music.
Hitchhiking?

Speaker 1 No. No.

Speaker 1 Shotgunning beers?

Speaker 1 Has it been done better? Has it been a more integral part of a a movie positive?

Speaker 2 Shotgun beers at Animal House? Am I forgetting that?

Speaker 1 I like how they bring it back in this, where she does it in front of her boyfriend.

Speaker 2 It's really funny. I'm going to say yes.

Speaker 1 Nicola Cheridan, no, Desperate Ozo has. Robert Oswald.
She also does, she shotguns it in real life. I mean, she crushes that.
She does a good job. Cool 45?

Speaker 2 Is he drinking beers just in this guy's car like at 10 in the morning? Yeah. That is pretty funny.
I'd be pretty annoyed by that.

Speaker 1 80s teen movies now. Cruise or Hanks?

Speaker 2 I got Hanks Spielberg for Cruz.

Speaker 1 I have Hank Spielberg as well. This would have been a good Tom Hanks movie.
Although, you're right, Cruz easily could have been the Anthony Edwards part. Yeah, talking to you cordless, buddy.

Speaker 1 What role would Philip Seedmore have been have played? I think it's Gibbs buddies.

Speaker 2 Oh, it's definitely Lance coming to you cordless. And then when Gibbs's like, I can't come.
He's like, shut the fuck up.

Speaker 1 Shut up. Shut up.

Speaker 1 You're like, hey, Gibb, how's the peeping?

Speaker 1 Picket nets.

Speaker 1 How did Gibb actually get in the cowboy rapist truck?

Speaker 2 He jumped in the truck that.

Speaker 1 But how did the trucker not know?

Speaker 2 I think he was more interested in taking off his wedding ring and stuff.

Speaker 1 We talked about this, but why is the Sherthing so excited about meeting Gibb?

Speaker 2 Yeah, we don't know.

Speaker 1 Pretty sure she has

Speaker 1 plans every night.

Speaker 2 And then Lance completely bottles it by being like, he's gay and a virgin. Yeah.

Speaker 2 When it's like, I...

Speaker 1 Well, she was trying to, it was a ploy to make her feel bad for him.

Speaker 2 I guess.

Speaker 1 It's just such a weird move. The whole thing's a little weird.

Speaker 1 Was Lance a good friend?

Speaker 2 Well, it actually leads me to a possibly unanswerable question, which is, you know, in the beginning of the movie, Gibbs, like, I had sex six times in high school, sophomore and junior year mostly.

Speaker 2 And I'm like, you think he's lying? Do you think Gibbs's a virgin? And that's why he's like, I'm willing to go all the way across the country to get laid.

Speaker 1 So he's doing the Niagara Falls area? Yeah. It's like, I had sex six times.
Yes. But Lance seems to know that he had sex.

Speaker 2 Lance just seems to be taking his word for it, but I don't think he's like interrogating it much.

Speaker 1 Because he seems to think Gibbs like in a slump. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Well, he's using all this astronomy pickup lines. I mean, like, you could start there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, outer space, it just never really works. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But then we find out like later, like, you know, that's a that's when friends went off the wheels a little bit when Ross was using that with Rachel.

Speaker 1 He took her to like the astronomy

Speaker 1 to try to get her. He's like, look at the stars.
Oh, the

Speaker 2 observatory? No, but like, isn't it like the

Speaker 1 planetarium?

Speaker 1 The edit at the end is very 80s and corny when

Speaker 1 she reads the essay. For some reason, the class stops.
Everybody just starts talking. It's just chaos in the class.
And she comes up to him, and it looks like they're about to kiss.

Speaker 1 And then it cuts to them on the roof about to kiss. Yeah.
And it's just like.

Speaker 1 Let them kiss. I don't know.
Yeah. I don't know if that one worked.
I don't know if we had the technology in 1985 for that. The only thing Liz and I were like, oh, I think

Speaker 1 I could have lived with another couple minutes. Like, it ends so abruptly.
It's like this awesome resolution and they're on the roof. They're kissing credits.

Speaker 1 I could have like had them exchange a couple lines or something. But this is your rule.
But it's only 92 minutes. Like, it could have been 94 if you give me a little bit.

Speaker 1 I mean, I feel like you build up all the way to this and then it ends. It kind of cuts you off.
Is this your flex?

Speaker 1 Well, yes, that. And then a very small picking mitzer.
I feel like Gibbs' pajamas on this trip are fucking bizarre. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's in like a really like translucent, dirty white cutoff that's like almost a v-neck and like thin capri gray sweats.

Speaker 2 It's kind of awesome.

Speaker 1 Really weird.

Speaker 2 Jump on in bed.

Speaker 1 He also is like, how many clothes did he pack in that duffel bag? Yeah, he also has a nice suit to wear for dinner that's like perfectly ironed. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know how much, I don't know how he was able to pull that off.

Speaker 1 I could have, I could have gone with another like four minutes at the Hawaiian party. Yeah.
Like we didn't need to just be immediately centered on him versus Allison.

Speaker 1 I could have met a couple other people. Sure.
I was almost thinking this could be a Craig rewatchables category.

Speaker 1 How many minutes should this movie have been exactly? Because Craig, he's never satisfied with the length. Do you know what, though?

Speaker 1 Even when it's 90 minutes, he's like, I could have gone for another eight.

Speaker 1 Truman show could have been 10 minutes longer. I think this just needs a minute more at the end for the resolution.

Speaker 2 I just don't know what they need to do there. Cause that's when I think you get into like, it's the graduates, like now what with them you know like

Speaker 1 real champions

Speaker 1 it might even just have been the editing was so quick like it was just they really like get in and get out

Speaker 1 sequel prequel prestige TV all broadcaster untouchable you know there there's like definitely a prestige TV kind of

Speaker 1 something that you could have pulled off with this. I just don't know where it goes.

Speaker 2 I was trying to think at the other day, like if there are really good road trip TV shows that aren't like kung fu, like there aren't like the whole point is like this person goes from town to town but how long could their road trip be before it would be like so could it be like seven episodes each day is its own episode a long time to be getting into hijinks i think maybe untouchable so perfectly paced where i you think that they're on the road the whole movie they don't get into tim robbins' car until the 31st minute you get so much time in college getting like the the opposites part before they attract.

Speaker 2 It's really great.

Speaker 1 All black casts could have worked too. Is this movie better with Wayne Jenkins? I could have had the Grambling thing really work, you know?

Speaker 1 Is this movie better with Wayne Jenkins or everyone else we have in this category?

Speaker 2 I haven't done Brimley in a while. You know, and I was just imagining what happens.
Like, Allison and Gibb are together for a little while.

Speaker 2 And then, and then here's your Allison going down to the mailbox to get her latest copy of Branta or the Paris Review. What does she find instead? She finds heartache, Gibb.

Speaker 1 Another one of your letters to Penthouse has been published.

Speaker 2 Do you think Gibb gives up his, like, you know, like he obviously wants, and I know that's his roommate's letter, but you think Gibb gives up like the writing letters to Penthouse even after him and Allison do the deed?

Speaker 1 Yes. Okay.
I do.

Speaker 1 I had

Speaker 1 long legs picking them up when they're checking. Come on in the car, Allison.

Speaker 2 She's pretty much like, sure, whatever. I gotta get out of here.

Speaker 1 It seems like you're fighting with that boy.

Speaker 1 Just one Oscar who gets it.

Speaker 1 Ryan?

Speaker 1 Ryan.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think it's Reiner.

Speaker 1 Probably unanswerable questions. What kind of credit card bill

Speaker 1 was her dad looking at in

Speaker 1 January?

Speaker 2 So that dinner alone, it's granted, it's a lot of money.

Speaker 1 A couple of hotel rooms. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Some food on the way.

Speaker 2 In 1985?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Sounds good. And you think Gibbon House and you think they made it a year?

Speaker 2 I think that they maybe make it to first semester sophomore year, but then it really starts to come apart. I think that's fair.
That's when intramural football really kicks on a high gear, friend.

Speaker 1 What piece of memorability would you want or not went from this movie? I would take the actual essay that closed the movie, whatever the written one was.

Speaker 2 I would even take the one with the pepperoni stains on it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, either one.

Speaker 1 Coach Finstock Award. By the way, was that handwritten that essay, right? Yeah.
I think we should have put that in what's the most 1985 thing about the world. People were handwriting their essays.

Speaker 2 Handwriting your word. I didn't see any like word processors or typewriters or anything like that.

Speaker 1 Coach Finnstock award best life lessons. Next time, just take the bus the whole way.

Speaker 2 Well, I didn't get to this and probably answer questions. What's the return trip plan?

Speaker 2 Because Gibbs, like, I'm broke, I can't fly. So, if he's in LA,

Speaker 2 what's the plan to get back to class in time to start taking tests?

Speaker 1 Is it he's borrowing money from Lance?

Speaker 1 Yeah, okay. Who's at that point has become one of the

Speaker 1 best Madams in Hollywood. He's just pipping out everyone.
Invested in the Clippers. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Best double feature choice. I had Stand By Me.

Speaker 2 I have one crazy summary.

Speaker 1 Oh, I like it.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 1 who won the movie? It's probably QSAC, but we'll say Reiner for

Speaker 1 this one. Any last thoughts, Craig?

Speaker 1 I agree with you. This and Risky Business are probably my two favorite teen movies that I've never seen before.

Speaker 2 So good.

Speaker 1 Well, we haven't done Sacred Admire yet. I'll be interested to see how that resonates with you.

Speaker 1 This is great. Yeah.
Maybe this will inspire somebody to just pay for the music and have this stream again. I will.
It's the lost Rob Reiner.

Speaker 2 I really can't tell what the deal is here. I guess it must be the soundtrack.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's it. All right, P.
Rob Reiner. We're going to miss you.
Good to see you, man. Thanks, CR.
Thanks, Craig. Thanks, Gahal.
See you next time in the Rewatchables.
