The Stephen A. Smith Hottest Take Award

Release the Walter Hill cut; uncomplicated psychopathic villains

In the discussion (4)
Approx. transcript time · 01:11:19Read transcript
  • Cherry’s villain rating starts at5.5–6; a defense of uncomplicated psychopathic villains prompts a suggested8 and continues.
  • Cherry’s villain ranking remains split between5.5–6 and an enthusiastic suggested8; his uncomplicated violence is defended.
  • Hottest take: release the Walter Hill cut, with Eyes Wide Shut second. Snyder-cut satisfaction and Bill’s supposed renewed influence are separate banter.
  • Director-cut digression:54 disappoints, Kingdom of Heaven transforms the film, and Proof of Life’s missing romance is discussed with uncertain production recollections.

Picking Nits

Iceman continuity; survivable gunshot; unpunished assault; clerk during gunfight; ammunition; elapsed time; immediate proceeding; changed racism; Cherry nickname

In the discussion (10)
Approx. transcript time · 00:34:53Read transcript
  • The Iceman reveal is disputed as a twist and criticized for contradicting his help in the original; the suggestion he became Iceman later is countered.
  • The missing footage might explain the plot but might also make the movie slower.
  • Reggie’s limited injury after a close-range shot is implausible, and the repeated vest references seem to promise a payoff that never arrives.
  • Reggie shoots a man in the knee immediately after release without apparent consequences.
  • The hotel clerk runs into an active gunfight to complain about noise.
  • Gunfire ignores realistic ammunition limits; modern action’s visible reloading is the contrast.
  • The morgue identification appears to skip hours without a transition; a removed house scene is recalled.
  • The misconduct proceeding happens implausibly quickly.
  • Jack’s reduced racism is debated in relation to sobriety and the original apology; abandoning Reggie complicates his improvement.
  • Cherry is mocked as an unlikely villain nickname, before Richard is supplied as his actual name.
