  • A new, movie-appropriate category is announced about 130 episodes in: best performance by a pet, named the Brandy rating after Brad Pitt's dog in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, scored 1 to 10 chewies.
  • Gene Hackman's Jack Russell terrier gets five chewies. — Chris Ryan
  • Seven chewies: a Jack Russell is an odd choice for a nuke commander, the dog pisses in the hallways, and playing with it right after a mutiny suggests he has lost it.
  • Eight chewies: the funniest moment is the third reaction shot after the final EAM, the dog barking excitedly in Ramsey's quarters.
  • The baseline is 'you know it when you see it', and it should be a pet; the Godfather horse qualifies because it was technically a pet. — Bill Simmons
  • With Pacino as Ramsey, the dog would have gotten a scene of him complaining about dog piss in the hallway.
  • The groundhog from Groundhog Day qualifies at about five chewies, higher if a biting scene had been shown. — Bill Simmons
