Picking Nits

Golf physics, distances and decisions; implausible relationships; missing tournament resolution

In the discussion (11)
Approx. transcript time · 00:29:02Read transcript
  • The love triangle strains belief: Sims permits intimate lessons, Molly bypasses his expertise, and both her practice and their relationship have implausible West Texas geography.
  • The three-wood shot's gentle landing and backward spin are physically implausible for the stated distance and period equipment.
  • The seven-iron's earlier distance conflicts with the three-wood distance; wind and rollout only partly explain it.
  • Refusing the drop zone risks a life-changing win and prize money for an unnecessary demonstration.
  • Repeated misses should silence a horrified crowd; contemporary spectators and social media would instead ridicule him, unlike the stoic 1990s legend.
  • Nice par, David can mean the golf score or a romantic double entendre; Sims's actual finish is not shown.
  • The charity event's national broadcast and large purse seem disproportionate; broke friends freely breaking expensive clubs is implausible.
  • Drunkenness and sleep deprivation before the Open are self-sabotaging; consecutive 62 and 64 rounds should become an enormous story.
  • The producer's belated instruction to watch Roy makes no sense when he is already leading and in the final group.
  • The film never resolves Sims's possible playoff or shows Jacobsen celebrating, while the crowd occupies the green before play seems complete.
  • Golden Tassel head covers may refer to the strip club; Molly's instant friendship with Roy's former partner is another nitpick. A framed broken three-wood is desired.

  • Next-day possibilities include endorsements, a book, wasted money or darker self-destruction; touring together creates a conflict between Molly's clients and Roy's competition.
  • An imagined defense of the awkward sex scene invokes fatigue and alcohol.

  • Memorabilia candidates include the three-wood, seven-iron, fan-club hat, visor, taxidermied animals, animal-welfare letter and leather golf bag.
  • Golden Tassel head covers may refer to the strip club; Molly's instant friendship with Roy's former partner is another nitpick. A framed broken three-wood is desired.

  • Jim Nantz receives explicit winner support for realism and intensity; Costner is initially a provisional answer.
  • Chirkinian is considered but the final answer is Costner because the film is his vehicle.
  • Costner is again declared winner as this closes a major phase of his leading-man career.

  • In 2025 she might appear on the Hawk Tua podcast, join the Unwell network and release music; in 1985 she might return to Corpus Christi and become a schoolteacher.
  • Lloyd is imagined entering VHS pornography with equipment, capital and experience of crime.
  • Binks is imagined moving to Burlington, working at Ben & Jerry’s and getting beaten up after selling bad acid at a Dead show.
  • Lloyd’s father is imagined with a minor role in the David Koresh standoff; Hubie becomes lieutenant governor, and Billie Jean faces lengthy copyright litigation.
  • Hubie’s governorship and Binks becoming Doug McCray’s father in The Town are additional jokes.
  • Hubie using the Billie Jean episode to claim he learned his lessons and launch a Texas political career is endorsed.

  • The retrospective list is framed around the speaker’s own high-school years and five favorite high-school movie characters.
  • The five named favorites are Kelly Preston in Secret Admirer and Mischief, Helen Slater in Billie Jean, Joyce [transcribed Heiser] in Just One of the Guys, an garbled Karate Kid actress, and Mia Sarah in Ferris Bueller.
  • Jennifer Gray in Ferris Bueller is added.
  • Rebecca D. Moray in Risky Business is excluded because her character is not in high school; Molly Ringwald was not a favorite, and Sean Young in Stripes is excluded as an adult.
  • Winona Rader in Lucas and Amanda Peterson in Can't Buy Me Love are additional examples.
