  • Enjoyment picks are cops getting in too deep and a supposedly sober cop ordering a double at the police bar while colleagues react.
  • Going without underwear is another enjoyment pick, extended into a personal waxing anecdote.

Picking Nits

Boz’s corpse; short prison terms; Catherine’s writing time; immediate spooning; crash injuries; inheritance; Beth’s devotion

In the discussion (7)
Approx. transcript time · 01:40:01Read transcript
  • The awkward-walk-in category is applied broadly to several scenes without one final choice.
  • A nitpick asks why Boz’s corpse has no erection; the panel and audience debate the premise without establishing a medical conclusion.
  • Nitpicks return to Hazel’s short prison term and ask when Catherine finds time to write a novel in weeks amid sex, drugs, driving and surveillance.
  • Nick immediately spooning the murder suspect after sex is mocked as an excessive emotional commitment.
  • Nick’s lack of injury after being struck by Roxy’s car and Roxy’s unmarked appearance after the crash are nitpicks.
  • A question about Boz leaving Catherine $100 million is corrected by the view that her fortune came from her parents; additional inheritance remains uncertain.
  • Beth’s devotion to Nick despite his destructive history is questioned and compared with therapist relationships in The Departed and The Sopranos.

  • An all-Black version is considered through Obsessed and A Thin Line Between Love and Hate; prestige television might help explain the ending.
  • Prequel options include Beth at Berkeley and Catherine’s relationship with boxer Manny Vasquez; Basic Instinct 2 is strongly discouraged.
  • A reported Eszterhas Amazon reboot screenplay and his provocative public statement are discussed, with a reply expressing interest.

Probably Unanswerable Questions

Manny’s death; Nick’s survival; whether Catherine should kill Nick at the ending

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 01:48:02Read transcript
  • Unanswerable questions ask how prominent Manny’s death in the ring would have been; the police’s racial disguise joke is criticized.
  • Nick is predicted to die soon after the ending, with jokes about children, Montana’s departure and another cocaine relapse; his failure to inspect Catherine’s new pages is questioned.
  • Ending alternatives include Catherine killing Nick or visibly grabbing the ice pick; others prefer the existing ambiguity, including a small possibility of Beth’s guilt.
