- Candidates include Utah's water tackle of Bodhi and Gary Busey playing someone with a job and credibility, but the hosts push back: Busey is actually good, the chemistry with Utah is well written and acted, and he is like the reporter in The Incredible Hulk with the right theory nobody believes.
- The old-cop, young-cop gimmick is flipped: instead of the veteran teaching the rookie to calm down, the young cop gets the old cop mad on purpose so he can feel something again and work the theory; a host jokes that Titus does that to them.
- Bodhi's speech that it was never about money but about standing against the system, showing the dead souls inching along the freeways in their metal coffins that the human spirit is alive, is read out; it is called a little awkward and over the top for a bank-robbing surfer, while another jokes about getting it tattooed.
- For over-the-top lines, Gary Busey staring into the distance saying LA has changed in 22 years, the air got dirty, the air got cleaner, is offered.
- One host does not feel anything in the movie has aged badly, since it all fits; another names the lawnmower in the gunfight, adding that a man keeps mowing the lawn during a massive gun battle, and the naked woman beats everyone up, earning a joke Best Supporting Actress.
- The first Fast and Furious has aged worst, since watching Point Break closely shows it was ripped off beat by beat, right down to the Coronas; a host saw an unverified claim that the restaurant where Keanu meets Lori Petty is the same one where Dom and Brian sit down.
