The pool-emergence apex is disputed between Richards and Phoebe Cates, with Cates’ cultural impact favored and Jessica Biel another example. — Mallory Rubin
Apex: Richards yes; Campbell qualified against Scream and her broader run; the threesome is called unusually publicized, not necessarily the best.
Apex: Bacon no, Dillon’s combined 1998 yes; fictional Blue Bay and the champagne-and-fake-gun threesome yes; Murray no; high-school sailing tentative. — Bill Simmons
Cruise is favored as Sam; Hanks is initially entertained for the other role but then rejected, so the discussion is not a unanimous single ballot. — Bill Simmons
The car attack and its potentially unscripted consequences prompt a nitpick and an alligator-death wish.
Answering the phone during sex is disputed as a nitpick, with urgent family calls offered as a counterexample and personal anecdotes.
Susie’s removed teeth and full smile at the ending are nitpicked; cosmetic dentistry and the elapsed time are counterarguments.
Traceable purchases, yacht travel and Susie’s hiding place raise questions; shared offshore money and sailing rather than flying are offered as explanations.
The hosts question whether Sam expected Ray to kill Kelly and whether leaving her alive would risk exposure.
Leaving Kelly alive is judged implausible; Sam choosing Susie over wealthy Kelly is explained through shared outsider status and Susie’s blackmail, with disagreement.
Questions about Kelly’s mother relationship are answered through exploitation and blame for her father’s death; killing Sandra is proposed again. — Mallory Rubin
Sam’s college sport is guessed to be baseball; football positions are disputed.
Sandra’s possible responsibility for her husband’s death is assumed but unresolved, including whether a lover carried it out. — Bill Simmons
Questions ask who took the blackmail photographs and whether Susie poisoned Ken’s drink; a shared outsider bond is offered against the latter theory.
The tropical escape ending prompts a joking argument for fugitives choosing ski resorts instead. — Mallory Rubin
The hosts speculate about Bacon’s awareness and preparation for the nude shot; being seen by the crew is a counterargument. None of the bodily speculation establishes production facts. — Bill Simmons
The hosts question the reported Party of Five rationale for Campbell’s contract, compare Lisa Bonet, and correct confusion about the Jamie Walters song.
