Blunt’s career run leads to approval of her casting, with early-2000s Kate Winslet imagined; credibility as an agent is separated from concerns about the character’s later moral reasoning. — Bill Simmons
Recasting discussion rejects Hathaway and Adams, considers the Blunt/Johansson Black Widow counterfactual, and credits Edge of Tomorrow for Blunt’s credible physicality. — Bill Simmons
Early-2000s Kate Winslet is the preferred hypothetical recast, qualified by Kate’s younger age. — Bill Simmons
Philadelphia replacing Juárez is a joking recasting-city suggestion tied to sports.
That Guy choices are Maximiliano Hernández and Victor Garber, with Garber’s eligibility initially disputed then defended as the real answer. — Bill Simmons
Sheridan’s first screenplay and the removal of most Alejandro dialogue are praised; the script reportedly showed his dream and opening narration, whereas the film conveys information visually.
Research reports a replica border crossing, practical thermal camera use, heated shoe soles, the word’s Latin origin, Blunt’s food poisoning and Brolin’s effective pause after forgetting dialogue. Night vision is an added personal-enjoyment answer.
Research reports Blunt striking experienced boxer Bernthal and the filming bar’s later shooting, closure and reuse, with uncertainty about the new venue. — Bill Simmons
Villeneuve’s early disturbing films divide preferences, with Enemy a one-timer for one host. His later run and forthcoming work prompt an early apex assessment. — Bill Simmons
Blunt’s apex is assigned to A Quiet Place; her recent choices divide opinion, with The Fall Guy defended. — Bill Simmons
Juárez is qualified as a film-location apex; Brolin’s apex splits among the post-No Country run, Sicario and Infinity War.
Cartel-film apex is disputed against Scarface; vats of acid face a Batman counterexample.
Traffic is Del Toro’s apex; Kaluuya and Bernthal are rejected here. Bodies in walls receive an affirmative. Tunnel examples form an unranked Mount Rushmore; dinner executions and Donovan in Shot Caller are considered. — Chris Ryan
An additional craziest-quote flex selects Time to meet God, with Just lay back and let it happen, baby as another candidate. A pre-recording joke about the first line is recalled.
The smell of dozens of concealed bodies is an early nitpick, with tight packaging and drywall offered as uncertain explanations.
Nitpicks question Ted’s plan after killing an FBI agent and his carrying the distinctive cartel money band, with police connections and poor judgment offered as explanations. — Chris Ryan
The opening gunman missing Kate at close range is a nitpick; confusion with the later crossing shot is corrected.
Ordering unspecified beers is a nitpick, followed by speculative discussion of Kate’s drink preferences. — Bill Simmons
Smoking immediately after strangulation is a nitpick, countered by a smoker’s desire for a cigarette after any stressful event.
Kate trying to arrest Alejandro and the coerced signature are nitpicked: she could later disclose duress, while the document might incriminate her; Graver letting her leave and the possibility of forgery are questioned. — Bill Simmons
Ted’s reliance on Reggie introducing him is questioned; a longer-term seduction plan is offered as a possible explanation. — Bill Simmons
Alejandro finding the right car, Silvio and Manuel is questioned, with intelligence and timing offered as partial explanations; arriving exactly at dinner prompts jokes. — Chris Ryan
Graver’s selective candor is criticized as serving the script rather than his own interests. — Sean Fennessey
Continuation ideas are a news-responsive prestige series, a third film, Alejandro’s prosecutor-to-assassin prequel, Kate as a small-town sheriff and a Donovan-centered show.
