The kidnapped woman and extended body-decoy sequence

In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 00:58:23Read transcript
  • The kidnapped woman and the extended body-decoy sequence are nominated as unnecessary; the DNA purpose does not persuade the objection.
  • The last twelve minutes in the sewer are criticized because Natasha is no longer Natasha and the movie becomes conventional.

What’s Aged the Worst?

In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 00:59:57Read transcript
  • Species 2 is nominated, citing Madsen’s reported description of it as lousy and a paycheck job.
  • Long Island iced teas are criticized as unfashionable, caloric, and potent, with the claim that nobody drinks them challenged.
  • The discussion questions whether Dan avoids alcohol for religious reasons and criticizes slipping alcohol to him on that possibility.
  • Missed Hollywood mating encounters are criticized, with the Viper Room, Swingers locations, and Canter’s proposed as opportunities.
  • More Santa Monica and outdoor-pool locations are desired; Fitch’s assumption that Sil will return to the same club is questioned.

  • The hottest take imagines an alien rated a six struggling to find a mate, turning the movie into a rom-com.
  • The movie is said to need more sex, including on the train once she becomes a grown-up woman, and a hard-R or stronger-rating approach.
  • An HBO series beginning in 1995 is proposed as a potentially transformative early cable drama, expanding the pursuit and giving the investigators further cases.
  • The TV show idea prompts concern that aliens would be too expensive; showing them once a year and continuing with Madsen and Marge are suggested.

In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 01:07:39Read transcript
  • Brosnan was reportedly offered a role but unavailable because of GoldenEye; the proposed identification of the role as Kingsley’s is speculative.
  • Schwarzenegger’s reported interest is explicitly uncertain, and Lennox is guessed as the intended part; casting him as the empath is a separate joke.

Apex Mountain

Henstridge is accepted as an apex selection.

In the discussion (4)
Approx. transcript time · 01:13:24Read transcript
  • Henstridge is accepted as an apex selection.
  • Madsen’s apex is disputed: Reservoir Dogs is offered, while Species’ success and the accumulated visibility of his earlier roles support this period as his career peak.
  • Helgenberger’s apex is assigned to CSI, Kingsley and Whitaker are rejected, and horny-alien films are proposed as a genre apex.
  • Mid-1990s BMW convertibles are proposed, with comparisons to Speed and a Frank Ocean cover left partly uncertain.
