The rewatchables, first one of 2026, brought to you by the ringer podcast network. We can find the fantasy football podcast with Craig Horlbeck. Yep. Transitioning into the NFL draft off season show, but we're still going through the playoffs. Awkward. We're going to talk on, uh, you're coming on my podcast because we're going to take something from my pod this week too. We're going to talk about playoff fantasy because I have a wrinkle that I always mentioned and has never come on CR, the watch, stranger, thanks finale. We did a little bit of that today. Yeah. We did a little heat rivalry. We did a little bit of land man and we have a big month. The pit industry, night of the seven kingdoms all come in, come in this month. I said DTF St. Louis. Okay. It's not out yet. The Beatman show. Yeah. I got a stealth, stealth viewing of that one. Um, land man was great. Land man. He did rivalry. I watched all six episodes Saturday and Sunday and was sobbing in the kitchen. I don't know what goes on in that show, but it's, it's really good. You watched it. Yeah. There's no season two, right? Yeah. There will be a season two. But there will be a season two. Oh, yeah. There's a bunch of books. They're all based on a book series. Oh. Great news, Craig. He did rock was coming back. Great. I do not watch it. I had to spend all my time watching the 12 hours of Stranger Things, but maybe I'll watch them. Okay. We're doing a mail bag. We did this at the beginning last year. We did the beginning of this year as well. We'll send in questions to the [email protected]. They send a whole bunch of good stuff and it's coming up next. All right. These are actual questions from actual listeners. I'm going to start with, it's not a mail back question. It's more of a comment from Jeff Wood has the concept of a movie being rewatchable actually age the worst with streaming and court cutting. We have lost the ability to channel surf. I wonder how many movies I would have only watched one time if I had to go to a streaming service to watch and not catch a accident. I know I'm not jumping in at the 32-minute mark. That's for sure. And then he says looking forward to watching it in the cruisers with you guys if it's ever on. I get this question a lot. I get it anecdotally, what does a rewatchable mean to somebody or you're a good generation for this? Yeah. Because your generation doesn't channel surf as much as me and CRs did. Not at all. Channel surfing now is you go. It's too curated now. You can get anything you want. It used to be you went on cable or whatever. You're scrolling. Oh, look. A few good men is on now. You go to Netflix. You have 500 movies, 5000 movies to choose from. So you never really stumble into anything anymore. I also think YouTube killed this a little bit because now you can just watch the last big action scene from Top Gun Maverick or the bridge scene in Sicario or the border crossing scene in Sicario. And you're not like, ooh, it's on and I only have to wait 40 minutes for that to happen. So the instant gratification of YouTube really changed it. I would say that when I am with my wife, for instance, we tend to rewatch movies that we love because it's what we agree on. And I think that like when I'm solo, I'm like, I got to watch something new. I got to see something I've never seen before and keep building it out. But when my wife and I are together, we'll be like, let's just put Scream on, you know, or let's just put Jurassic Park on because we might look at our phones, but like that's but you're starting it from the beginning and when we created Rewatchables in 2017, part of the concept was your channel surfing. Yes. And you come across this scene, you can't stop watching or you see that it's coming on the cable. We're waiting for the TNT game to start. Oh, look what's on. Yeah. Yeah, because this is the 10th year of the podcast basically in 2026. We started in 2017. I'm still going to keep the premise, but I acknowledge that the jumping in during a movie thing is pretty hard now. I mean, what would the changing the premise would be if the show's going to be a title? It's just watchables. Good movies. Yeah. Pete, the, I still have cable, me too, because we have, we have spectrum for internet. They offered cable, kept it. I like the cable guide. I got all the movies. I just charge this Spotify. Don't tell them it's research. It is. I still like going to the cable guide and zooming through and being like, like the other day, ironically, HBO at History of the World Part One on a movie that I don't think has been on cable for like 10 years. I was like, Oh, and watch the second half of that. And I don't even think I would have known it was an HBO man. Do you not get the same feeling scrolling through Netflix and seeing what movies they have? Does that not feel the same as scrolling through cable? It feels 90% the same. The difference is when we were scrolling through and saw History of the World, it was right when they were getting to France. Right. In the last like 30 minutes and moving, I was like, Oh, I got to watch this. That feeling's gone. I will say, Oh, no, you're good. I also just think the comfort watch has transitioned from I'm going to put on an old movie I love to I'm going to put on an old TV show I love. I think it's now because it's so easy to just like throw on the office, but that is kind of the go to, I got, I got two hours to kill. I'm going to watch friends or the office. I will say that. I'm there too. I'm, maybe I'm both with TV when you were doing your big list. Yeah. I'm going to watch a close of the 21st century. What an honor for you to be in the room for that. Yeah. In our no prep era. Here again. Blind. Blind pot. I will say, do you feel like the last like the, because cable channels now, I think are playing more movies from the last like 10 years, say, yeah. And those movies tend to be whether it's Avengers or a jar, butler action movie or whatever. Like we're, we're basically out of the era where you can randomly catch the firm. And I think that that has sort of changed a little bit of my relationship to channel surfing to rewatch stuff is because we've now moved into this like, it's just winter soldier now. Batman versus Superman is, is on HBO most of the day, you know? Well, that's one of the things that got me sucked into number 16, limitless. Iconic. Um, right. It's about to, right. It sees the pills are in the refrigerator and it's taking them. It's like, all right. This is a fun for a minute. Sure. It's one of the last ones of it's era. All right. Brian and Albany. So we're not changing the name of the show just to be clear, but fine, Brian and Albany. He says Bill often jokes about certain films being great airplane movies. Limitless. I'm randomly taken. Sure. Um, there's so any romcom, there's certain airplane you have it on. You don't really want to concentrate because people getting up, moving around, but it's like you kind of turn your brain half off like beat your action movies. Yeah. Yeah. I think that idea should be its own category. You pick the ideal setting in an audience to watch the film with. I love this. Okay. Um, he said it's possible options. First date when Harry met Sally, significant other fatal attraction kids toy story in laws, the fugitive, which I think is really smart. Like you're hanging out with your in laws, what are you going to watch? Fugitive. There's no real sex. There's action. Bloody movie Terminator 2, airplane movie, draft day limitless ironically put in there. Theater jaws, the sounds of lamps. And then he had solo hard core eight millimeter, eight millimeter parentheses, AK, the CR special. This guy's an Albany. Yeah. I'm solo watching eight millimeter. I love the CR special. Yeah. Species. That's a solo. Right. Well, he said the category name suggestion could be the watch party award. Oh. Like this. Maybe at the top right before we go into rewatchable categories, like, all right, watch party. Ideal setting for this. And you kind of pick what I kind of like after what's the ideal age to watch it? It's like what's the ideal? I think it's better than ideal age, right? Yeah. Like this is the end is a buddy movie. For sure. That's like my buddies are in town. We're going to watch. This is the end. I had a couple other ideas for categories, though, five o'clocker. My dad's thing for movies that weren't quite good enough to watch at night. But good enough when he used to come home from work and he would stop at this movie theater at five o'clock. And it would always be like some sort of crappy action movie. The buddies in town. This is the end. Proxy vacation is a big one where you get to go to Hawaii or Alaska or Vancouver. We're a place you've always wanted to go. That's just go. Paris. Yeah. Paris. That works. Prada. Japan for lots of transition. Yeah. Ladies only the holiday. Like we're just out. My wife's like my friends here, we're just the holiday was on. We're just fine. All right. I'm going to leave. Scary movie. And then I added peanut gallery. Oh yeah. The movie's like regarding Henry. Oh. You're yelling at the screen. Yeah. You can't make fun of it. Yeah. Like I can't believe they did this. I do think that adds to the experience. Like I watched all the stranger things this break, but I watched it with like five people. And it was way more fun that way. We're all kind of making jokes throwing out. That's my wife and I were doing that. Yeah. It's so much better that way. I tried to do that with my kids and they're like shut up. Shut up. Shut up. They thought they were watching. You understand that is bridging the under upside down. They thought they were like a godfather one screening in 1978. That was just a soldier now. Yeah. For some reason. All right. I like that one. We're going to add watch party. Okay. Patrick Craig writes in, Hey, I'm a big fan of the show. I just finished the new mailbag episodes. This is from a long time ago. All these questions are from the last 12 months. I wanted to confirm that monster's ball is the worst movie to see with your parents. I saw it in the theater with my mom when it came out 23 plus years ago. I'm still scarred to this day. And we went because we both saw Roger's four star of you in the local newspaper. So I think is that the is that the worst is that the how they're in for a dream. Yeah. That was when she's she loses her son and then she has sex with Billy Bob dad like this crazy sexy. Right. She's like, baby, feel good. I think I've seen that in a clip somewhere, but yeah, yeah, this is not when you'd want to see with the in-laws. You know, there's some movies that are inappropriate to watch with your parents. But if you're young enough, like they can be like, don't worry about that part. I always think about the big scene in silence of the lambs. Yeah. And how long it took me before I realized what was what makes was throwing, you know, it was just the slider. Yeah. It's just like a long 10 years of like, yeah, he just needs, right, you know, I mean over the break, we were debating watching one battle after another with my in-laws. And then I was like, ah, Sean Penn in the first 10 minutes of this movie. Ray Boners. Yeah. Kind of gets a no, a, a no hand boner. So I don't think you can do it. Yeah, Craig's a good litmus test for this because he still hangs out with the in-laws from time to time. Yeah. Like what movies would I watch with Liz's parents is a big factor in what we put on a set of. Yeah. I mean, the fugitive is perfect. A politician is perfect. Yeah. I want to say rated are probably out across the board. If you're with in-laws or like girlfriend's parents. Yeah. We've like holdovers. Was a huge hit. It's a good one. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Chaz Summers from Orlando, Florida, Chaz with an S. You're fully doxing these guys, Brian and Albany is on watch list. They're names. What's their email? He says, tell Bill proof of life is from 2000. So Zodiac can replace in the top 50. This is for my rewatch. It was like, it actually worked out perfectly. I accidentally somehow Zodiac cut out, and it was in the 30s and I was moving stuff around. I don't know how that happened. But then I did proof of life, which wasn't from 2001 and on. Right. 2002, I just, I fucked up. So are you allowed to just go into the proof of life spot? You're taking proof of life out. I think it's out. It was from the wrong era. So we're not including 2000s movies, but you're including Zodiac? Well, I accidentally left off Zodiac, which I was supposed to be in there. So I think it's just a natural fix for the official list when it's on like a basketball reference.com. Sure. Revert in lens. Rewatchables.com. Rewatchable movies. Rewatchable movies. Reference.com. I'm not going to say that. I remember what my vote was. I think we said it on hangs. They rescued him at the end of proof of life. Craig Horbeck's love of shorter movies. Or movies too short. Sometimes you'll say, I actually could use a couple more scenes. Craig Horbeck's love of short movies. Looking at the list of films you're showing over the weekend. I don't know if that's good enough for a flex, but I enjoyed it. That's good enough for a flex, but I enjoyed it. I'll put that to the running flex. Bo Pollock from Albany. We have two bows. Bo Pollock on the floor. We have two bows. We have two bows. after rewinding and slowing down the replay several times, my best guess is it's Jeff Healey from the double-thusband, the blind musician. -Oh. -If this is true, what level of awkward and inappropriate and insane is it that Dalton and Doc are not just nude, but clearly about to have sex in front of a blind man sitting on the shore? Where does this record add a noir? What the hell might her details? So do you think that that scene is from like the middle of the movie and they just cut it and repurposed it as like a friendship scene? -We're going to have to, for social media, go find the end of that clip and cut it over with this. -That's the fucking funniest thing I've ever heard. -Yeah. -It's like, you could make the argument that with the skinny dip, it's like, it's not going to make a difference to this guy. -Yeah, but I mean his ears still work. -She's like, she's like, he's right there. It's like, he's fine. He can't see. -What a pola. What are these guys? -She's pretty good. TJ Zerbonia writes in the morning after their crazy hangover night, they go to the best little chapel and they meet Eddie. Before they leave, he says, "Steward of the Docs package and brings out multiple boxes of merchandise branded with their wedding pictures." In what world am I supposed to believe Eddie has access to a print fulfillment merchandise center that could fill in order that fast? They get married at 3 a.m. They're back 2 p.m. latest. There's no way I'd be ready to pick up. Even if Eddie does all his printing in-house, there's still no way to have all that merchandise done that quick. And if you do it yourself, why would a wedding chapel have the world's quickest fulfillment center sitting in the back? It would be way more profitable than marrying drunk people. Make me think, do we need a category and pick a nits called the mega nip pick? Like a nip pick that just is almost like the women at the category? -It's like such a nip pick. It almost has to be addressed. The mega nit? -Sure. The mega nit. -This is pretty good. How does he get all those photos ready in 7 hours? -It's a great call. -There's other problems with that movie, including how did they get a tiger into the room and how did they get the tiger away from my Tyson's house and how did all this stuff happen in 5 hours? -It also like Justin Barthard being on the room. -Yeah, then I realized it was on the roof. -The security door would have been cracked. -There's a lot of nip picks in this movie, but I thought that was pretty good. Mac, good work, guys, he says. Listen to almost every show. Bill's lying about the worst position to discover your wife cheating in almost caused a 10 car pile up for me. I've seen a heap of movies that otherwise would not have watched because of the show. -Was that internal affairs? What was that from? -Wasn't it like Doggy Style? -No, but what was the movie we were talking about that you broke that out? -Body double. -Body double. -He walked in on the girl riding something high and it's better. And I was like, easily, I thought I said Doggy Style would probably be worse, but that's number two. -Doggy Style, but the guy's wearing a t-shirt. And if I didn't, that's I'd like to say it now, because I was thinking about how Billy Bob always wears a t-shirt landing. -He's 70. -Yeah. -Well, Mac wants to suggest a new category called "Dorfler's Door" for me and I run. Nameed after the scene where Marvin lays Jack out with the driver's door, the category is on a scale of 1 to 10. How much would that stunt, punch, kick, whatever have hurt in real life? He thinks "Dorfler's Door" is a nine. I thought this was great. -Any bar fight scene in a movie would just be guys dying on the floor. -Yeah, we could do like which stunts would kill you? -The amount of times guys get hit with chairs or bar stools or like fall through tables and then get like glassed. -Well, even Beverly Hills cop, they throw axles through the window, visiting Victor Madelin. -There's a lot of people getting thrown through walls. -I don't even know, I mean, I would have to see if Jack has done this. I just, getting thrown through a window seems like the fucking worst thing in the whole world. -Yeah. -Because then you just also lay a pile of glass. -I like this as a flex. I think the daughter and hereditary is probably a 15 out of 10 for the capitation. That's probably the highest ceiling. -But that actually, you do die. -She does get injured. -You have to be somebody who lives. -It's got to be like, you get like hit with a car door and then you're like, oh my jaw hurts. -She left her at good point. -She didn't have a head anymore. -Yeah. -That's right. -Dorfler's door is good though. -Reggie Hammond too, Luther. -When he slams the door and the Luther, Luther's running. -It's like whenever there's a movie where a guy gets hit in the back of the head with a frying pan, you're like, that guy might die. -Yeah. -Everything that the guys go through and home alone. -Oh, my God. The paint cans? -For home alone too. -Swinging down? -Yeah, the bricks. -Date Brown, big fan since 2017, recently watched "Denton Thieves" for the redot. Said we discussed the lady eating the day's old Chinese food saying it's not that bad. I'm pretty sure that lady was in the London at the bar at the end of the movie. My takeaway is she was on ice cubes, ice cube juniors crew. And that's how we knew she wrote her Chinese that day and was involved in the escape. -Oh, interesting. -My next free watch after. -I think he's probably right. -I think there's a bunch of like. -That's a good guy. -Yeah. -Yeah. Justin from DC, huge fan of the ringer in the rewatch. Well, since it's inception, he has some categories for us, including the Ben Affleck. What the fuck was I thinking, word, for the actor actress that retroactive regretted signing on for the movie you're watching? Like Ben and Jeeley and Glee Bruce Willis and Colour Knight. The problem is, we don't do a lot of these movies. I like the spirit of it. He wants us to just really do the Hans Gruber scale for every bad guy, which we've done in multiple ones. -So this is just how. -Can I do this? -Like, paycheck movie? Essentially, this is like. -I think it would be more just like huge mistake. You know, like. Like, I took me a while to shoot that one off. -But that was. -Yeah. -Well, the Hans Gruber scale we should just do. -Sure. -Any time there's a villain, Hans is a ten. The Tom Cruise Award, did this movie need a running scene? And it feels like a reach. The Chris Cofflin Award, named after Blake Lav in the town for, "Would you throw it all away for this woman?" He lists Angelina Jolie, Mr. Smith, Margot Robbie Wolf Wall Street, Nealong in the Best Man, and then CR would have Edie Falco on Copeland. -And Ashley Judd and Heath. And Ashley Judd and Heath. The Chris Cofflin Award. Who should that award be named after? I like the idea of. I would throw my life away for this award. For this lady award. -The Edie Falco is probably the funniest. -I just think it's like a deep poll. -Yeah. Blake Lav is good, though. -I still remember coming out of the Copeland re-watchables and just be like, "That was our best episode ever." You guys are just like. -We peaked. -All right. -The Chris Cofflin Award. -Yeah. -Milo Kuhn isn't forgetting Sarah Marshall. Be mine. -That's a great one. -Yeah. -She was so, so great. -But the thing is, is that I just want to say, there's got to be an issue. -But part of it is she's dangerous. -Yeah. -It's got to really. -It's like she's going to fuck your life up. -Like Rebecca Di Mornay Risky Business stuff. -Yeah. -It's a huge mistake. -You know it. -Like any Falco chain smoking with explosives in a duffel bag, but you're like, "Whatever you want to do next." -It's a good one. -Or Linda Fiorentino and after hours. -Oh, fuck. -Yes. -Come on. -Yeah. -We'll come up with the right version. -But we're adding some sort of a throw your little bit. -At least you have a candor as the ex-mockina robot. -That's a really good one. -This is BCR's favorite email. It's from Zed. I'm going to guess that's not his real name. -Zed is dead. -I work in the set decoration department. And given the nature of my job, I've been thinking of the Leon Vitale most fucked up day on set award, named after Stanley Kubrick's long-time personal assistant. The category could have simple answers based on what we know from the press, like Shelley Deval doing a million takes in the shining. But I would also ask deeper questions. Like, who had to chase down and throw back Tom Cruise's terrible pitches in a few good men? What poor dancing coach had to work with Pacino doing the tango instead of woman, and most important, who had to keep cleaning, mixes load off Jody Fuster's lips. -It sounds a little lambs. -I think Jody Fuster had the worst day. -It would be a category that gives a quick salute to the presumed PA customer proper and so on that to keep on trucking through a tough one. -Where's the onset is really good. -Where's the onset, I think, is good. The Leon Vitale, I don't know if that's too deep cut. Maybe the sounds of the lambs production through the number, I don't know. -I don't know, but there's something there with that. -The guy in Seven who had to work with the-- -Walk to the gut. -Oh, yeah. -New category from Darren. Vincent Hannah, which actor's performance is better explained by the character being high and cocaine the entire movie. And he suggests Doc Brown and back to the future. J.K. Simmons, Whiplash, Tom Cruise, and Magnolia. Dana Day learned that there will be blood. And then he said, "John heard and big." Scott was a little too amped up for those sales meetings. Speaking of 450K a year for churning out some useless product design. Of course, he was doing blow. Why was the Tom Hanks put in the room and offered some at one point? I mean, it's another heat category. -It's also funny if you just apply that to people that they're clearly not on cooking. Better than coffee. So, I'm going to skip a couple here. Ah, this one's pretty funny, though. Phillip Sanford said in 2010, he was dating a girl. It's strong feelings on moral righteousness. He didn't work out. One of the reasons it didn't work out was she was trying to rent the Devil Wars product on her cable bundle of VOD service. And next then they ordered the porn parody. The Devil Wars nada. Did she watch it? No, she got upset that he got upset and ended up breaking up. And he's not married to anywhere. He just wanted a point. -They were married? -No, they were dating. -They got broke up because of that fight. -It was one of the reasons it seems to me. -Because you wanted to see what the Devil Wars nada. -He thought it was hilarious that she rented Devil Wars nada. -I see. -She didn't think it was funny at all. -I see. -Wow. -I realized that one. -Yeah, that sounds like it was for the best. -15 years later, he's still-- -I feel like there's more of that story. -Yeah. -She probably came home and he was watching it. -This is great from Andre B. He is a suggestion for canceled month on the show. Because we talked about canceled month. -We've talked about this. -He said ricochet. Here's my five-word Wikipedia summary. Denzel Washington gets unconsented V.D. -That actually is the plot of ricochet. -Yeah. -They frame him. And then he said he thinks ricochet was ghost-directed by Brandon Palma. -Oh. -The Brennan O'Kelly wants creature feature month with Anaconda, tremors, lake, placid, and gremlins. -I think that's out. -Travis Swerger wants us to rename the hottest take and take you off the hook, reminding us that fantasy once had the take that Tracy Lords could have been ginger and casino. -Who's Tracy Lords? -It's a former porn star. -That's pretty good. -I gotta say, I like Sean's take there. I forgot about that. -Cocino Pie. -I like that take too. -Yeah. -That was good. But then he said bad accents come up on several episodes. Why haven't you ever added the Kevin Costner in 13 days? Terrible accent award. Why haven't, why don't we have a bad accent award? -We'd never had one, right? -No. You do the, sometimes we'll do the bad Boston accent. You've done the bad Boston accent. -Yeah. -But not, if it's Boston, we'll talk about it. But generally speaking. -So this is named after Costner, right? He's had the most bad accents in movies. Or would you have somebody else? -I assume you're referring to JFK, right? -Well, Robin Hood, he gave up. -Right, after like two seasons. -13 days. Really terrible. I don't know what he was doing like some sort of JFK accent. -Yeah, all these movies are rewatchable. 13 days isn't. -Yeah. -And then he said Nicholas Cage and Captain Carelli's Mandolin. This is Apex Mountain for that accent. Craig, you'll like this. This is from NAS, NAS, I'm sure that's not his real name. The Kate Beckinsel word for this movie is only good because she's hot. Serendipity is a great film. It only works because she's attractive. -Sure. -Put a less attractive actress in there. And I think we're talking about the movie 24 years later. Do some movies only work because the actor actress is hot. This is obviously species. It's the number one for the actress. -Species. -That's the touch and origin species. Ultimate example. -Yeah. -Movie fails. -She's basically taking a three-win team that's last in DVOA, taking them to the playoffs. -Yeah. -They get like 11 and 6 somehow. -100%. I'm trying to think of other examples. Would you say can't hardly weight us like that? Jennifer, I love you. -No, I think that's a pretty solid. Like, I think you could have gotten away with that. -A couple of different people in there, yeah. -What else? -Kate Beckinsel is a good one. -Yeah. Last fake category word from Chad and Washington. Once the Diane Keaton K. Adams award for best actor actress in a poorly written character role. -Which was always my take from Godfather. -It was so flawed. For example, the award could go to Natalie Portman and the Star Wars prequels for Padmeh. Padmeh. -Padmeh. -Padmeh. -I'm Adela. -Yeah, I'm Adela. -I don't watch that. I do like that concept of great actor actress. Terrible role. -Can you think of any other examples? I mean, Ke is not a bad role. But can you think of any other examples of a. -He goes away for five years and comes back and she leaves an entire grade of kids. -I know. -Just gets into the car with him. -But I think so much of this is based on the street. -This is based on hating her hair. -Well, the hair in Godfather 3 was the bad hair. -But I think it almost is retroactively affected your appreciation to the character. -It isn't bad acting or you just hate the way they wrote the character. -I just thought they mangled the character. It's a bad character. -It's a bad character. -You disagree still. -The K is a bad character? -No, K is a. -I don't think it's a well-written character. -But it's supposed to be his like one beacon of a life outside the Corleone family. Is this Waspie woman from Connecticut or whatever? -Okay. -You just like Diane Keaton and I do too. And that's fine. We all wanted to see my K Adams as a good character. It gets better in Godfather 2. -Yes. -Godfather 1, train wreck. -Is her name K Adams? -Is it? -We just keep saying. -Did you say K Adams? -She's K Corleone. -I highly doubt it's K Adams. -You can google it if you like K Adams. -I don't think K Adams's name is K Adams. I think that's a stage name. -Is that the sports media personality? -K Adams. -Her last name Corleone. -Her name is K Adams. -Then it's Godfather. -K Adams. -But do you think K Adams is a stage name for Michael Corleone? -Absolutely not. -What competitive has her name as K Adams that sports personality? -Okay. -You think that's a stage name? That's a real claim. -We're going to end with some heat questions. -Okay. -David, why? -This is always bugged me. It was Neil Legge. "Hey, Wengro. Michael has never met you, but it'll pick you up." The giant truck outside the food stand. Five minutes for the heist. Such a careful crew seems ridiculous. We learned later that Nate vouched for Wengro. Neil never spoke to him. How they communicate the details of the plan of Wengro. Would Wengro have shot the guard if he'd actually gotten that refill? Maybe he was dehydrated. John and New Hampshire are the same thing. Small, important plot point. This is my favorite movie, "Bub, Bub, Bub." After reading all the backstory, Neil and the novel, and how careful and methodically it was, how did they hire Wengro? The guy they'd never met before, let alone work serve times with. They don't meet ahead of Vettam. They don't rehearse with them. I don't buy it. It's so out of character for Neil. It makes no sense. What's the sports equivalent, an athlete that makes an isolated decision that dominoes into their eventual downfall for me? The action is the juice. I think I do have this. Which is Nico Harris and only making one phone call about Luca. And it's like, he's got to keep it tight. He doesn't want any leaks. He doesn't want this to get out. So he only calls Polenka. This is the same thing as Neil being like, "I don't want anyone to know about this heist, about this score." So I can't even meet this guy. He's just, Michael's going to pick him up in a truck. So Anthony Davis is Wengro. Yeah. Wengro immediately falls apart. Yeah. And also, let's be honest. Neil's personnel management. I mean, he's picking up his getaway driver the morning of the heist. Yeah. He's picking a guy out from behind the line at a diner. I'm starting to wonder if Neil had some holes in his game. Sure. What am I saying? If the heat's there in 30 seconds, you got to run. And then he's saving Balcoma. But he's running away from the girl that he's, and also like he's going walking into an airport hotel to kill Wengro. But the heat's there. Yeah, it's like he's supposed to be a more of the heat. Well, he could have called Nate from Tahiti and been like, "I'm going to pull over $1,000 on Wengro's head." Yeah. But he wanted the feeling of it. I love that you guys talk about this movie. Like these people, your friends. I can't believe the names of you throw out. I'm like, wait, who's who now? It's unbelievable. Well, this is the last email from Austin. The hottest take. Charito is the villain of heat, not Wengro. Morally ambiguous Wengro makes a case form. Swastakitt tattoo. Yeah. Just the product of being a white guy doing time in California. He'll definitely pass one. Fair. The team betrays Wengro, not vice versa. All the fucked up shit Wengro does is that desperation knows that he's being hunted. I had to get it on. When I first saw the movie, I definitely thought that guard was trying to make a move. Wengro made the play he thought was needed at the time. Flips it around. Charito's workplace bullying before the heist. Oh, yeah. Exactly. Help him stay cool. Trying to wind him and piss him off after a high stress instant. Not exactly good guy behavior. Charito is an instigator. Charito uses a child as a human shield. His use of the word slick gets the team busted. Action is the juice, preferring murder and mayhem to wife and plenty of money shows to be a deranged psychotic. Wengro spends the movie trying to escape. Charito only wants blood. Think about it. Honestly, pretty good. Pretty good. Some holes in that theory, but like you could make the argument that you really want to kill. He's also a real killer on the side of serial killer. That's where the argument falls apart. I do like that. Charito. Maybe not a good guy. Yeah. Yeah. Well, why do I like him so much? Because he has the coolest lines and like is like the one who seems the most like emotionally committed to being a bank robber. He loves the marriage of the game. I think child as a human shield is a deal breaker for me with my character. I'll also say that you could read heat as Neil is the problem because Neil is the one who's like, I'm out. I'm doing one more score. He's also the guy who's pushing them hard to keep doing what they want. He's also the guy who's pushing them hard to keep doing scores. Yeah. To rack up his bank role to get out when they're all like, I'm fine. Just like every six weeks or so, we do a different kind of deal. Like it's like, keep it. Keep the pace nice and slow. If Charito says, no, let's not take this down. Does Neil just walk away? No, I think Neil does it either way. Just gets a new crew. Yeah. Where's he get a new crew? The fucking diner apparently. Just like that guy. Yeah. That's it for rewatchables. I have a new category I want to suggest. Oh, let's hear. All right. It is the Stanley Tucci and Conclave award for the actor that takes you out of the movie. Stanley Tucci. That's really good. Conclave completely. Why? So we had a version of this with the Lena Dunham spawn ranch, but I think this is better. This is better because yours was most jarring. Jarring casting. This is like this is more like I can't focus every time I see this person. I just I don't buy him as a cardinal. I'm like, I watch this guy make carbonara on Instagram and I just can't. I can't see him as a cardinal in the Vatican. I'm like, that's Stanley Tucci. You want to compete with Meryl Streep for the top title of the fashion. Like, you can definitely overcast a movie. Like, I even like Meal of Kunis in the new knives out. I'm like, that's Meal of Kunis. Right. What are we doing here? You drew this? I'm not about Tucci, but there are movies where I'm like, there's one too many guys in this. Like, you didn't need somebody this sort of notable to be a minor care. Yes, because I'm like, that's a very famous person who was online constantly. I don't buy it. Do you think being online constantly is eventually a deal breaker for seeing somebody move. Yeah. For being a car. Of course. Yeah. Well, I feel that way about it. Like, that guy from. What's the. Like live with Justin Baldone movie. What was I called? It ends with us. It ends with us. If I see that guy in any other movie, I'd be like, hey, the Blake Lavie lawsuit guy. Yeah. He can't be a lawyer. Yeah. Like, he actually probably should sue. Yeah. Because I won't be able to kind of emerge from that when I see him. Yeah. You can have too big of an online presence. It's why, like, you know, I'm a stone in Jennifer Lawrence and Leo. None of those people do that. Because then you can believe them in a movie you're watching. See, there's sometimes though that I think it works. Like, did you see Civil War? No. Okay. Well, there's Jesse Plemons and Civil War. It almost takes you out of it, but he's so good that it makes the scene even more significant. I understand that where you're like, oh, wow, if an actor of this level's in the scene, it elevates the movie. Yeah. So there is a fine line. What about when it's like Matt Damon in the last 20 minutes of interstellar? It's longer than that. I mean, he's like the second half of the movie. Yeah. That's fine with me. I know some people who are distracted by that. Yeah. But I do believe that's a real thing. You're like, oh, this is just like a very famous person, like in a costume right now. I feel that way a little bit about the area. The reverse feeling is when you go to a movie and you think somebody is going to be a major star and they get killed early in the movie. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Who was Sean Bean Award? Didn't that used to be an award? The Sean Bean. I can't believe you died too early. Did you make it? Great. We might have that might have been an earlier word. Yeah. I'm actually rewatching Game of Thrones in the sauna. It's great. Having a great time. Are you preparing for Night of the Seven Kingdoms or are you just rewatching Game of Thrones? No, it's just like it's going to be back with the game. How long can I pad last in the sauna? No, I put it outside. I put it outside the door in a chair. And on some titles or what? No, I just play really well. Through the door? Yeah. That's exactly how many of the voices ended up. No, because it's outside. It's an infrared sauna. Okay. Wow. It's great. It can last like about 25, 30 minutes. So watching Game of Thrones, it's great because it's so hot. It's so hot that everything's going so slow because you're just thinking about how you might be dying. Yeah. So you can actually listen to dialogue. So I actually feel like I know the characters. So you're like getting into it this time. Yeah. I'm like, oh, yeah. Oh, hey. Of course. You're Robert Baratheon. Oh, yeah. Are you are you going to remix some of those categories now? Yeah. I'm going to probably there's a couple that probably need to go, right? Yeah. From last year that I think. But our most of these going to be added as possible flexes. Yeah, well, I think the two that I think we have to add are the watch party one and the. The 100 minutes one. And also the. I like the horrible scale. We have to add the like anti-life lesson. And the anti-life life of those three that go in. And then I think we have some more flexes. I the other thing we really need. People could suggest as more people to do impressions of for the win Jenkins spot. We need a new batch new batch of blood. Well, maybe we almost take it away and let it organically. We let it organically repopulate, you know, because we had like. Romo and Collins worth and Wayne and like a couple of guys. They were just like. They were our friends, you know. And now it's like we just need to re restart the cabinet. Definitely. I don't want to get rid of any time soon because I've been workshopping some. Or last game, Riddick. Okay. Doing. I didn't see it at whatever movie we would do. So just talking for two minutes straight. An F one. Here's the thing about Brad Pitt the way he's driving. I want you to watch him go around the corners. The kind of torque that this guy could get. Why do you see one easy with? With their last few reasons. I'm not. I love. Did you watch that came? Are you you're traveling? I was traveling. I don't watch that game. I did. You were upset by their. I don't like three man boosts. No, I'm terrible. I've been on that corner for a long time. Are you are you Scott Hansen people? You guys like Scott Hansen? Do you watch Red Zone? I do. But you don't watch it. You don't like him. I don't put it. I don't put the audio on it. I'm turning on Hansen. Yeah. He's trying too hard. Once I saw the behind the scenes when it's just like him. Like the guy in the Truman show like hovering over people's shoulders screaming into their ears. Like, you know, walking around looking at 10 TVs. He tries really hard when he should just let the announcers of the actual game that they're cutting to take over. I couldn't agree more. I'm trying to remember. I recently was just you know, he's trying to come in with like a pun. Are you into how you feel about Brady? It's been a rough times. Really? Okay. It's like Brady and St. Bartz with the cell phone. They like just me like with the house or I just met like Brady has seven super balls as a color guy. That's fine. I just think like Trico and Collins worth were so good on Sunday night. Come on. Brady is not good. Trico is incredible. So that you and then Buck and Ackman. Same thing. And then you watch these other teams and you can't. You're like, whoa. Yeah. We really dropped off here. I could talk about this all day. All right. Rewatchables. We'll come back with a movie next week. This was fun. Chris Ryan. Craig Colbeck, also the producer. Thanks to Gahau and Eduardo as well. Anyone else who want to thank? I think that's it. All right. That's good. See you next week in the Rewatch.
