- Dalton sparing Wesley seems inconsistent after his other killings; a counterargument says Elizabeth's warning about becoming another tyrant establishes the moral choice, without convincing everyone.
- The haircuts and exposure of Elliott's pubic hair are criticized, though another participant jokingly nominates the latter for Great Shot Gordo.
- Bars without televised Kansas City sports feel wrong, especially given Bo Jackson and the area's prominent teams; shared sports might even unite the town.
- The opening song Don't Throw Stones is merely adequate compared with the closing song.
- The Jimmy fight overshadows the Wesley finale. Moving it immediately before the townspeople kill Wesley could improve the structure and avoid Dalton's oddly rapid recovery between locations.
- The waitress's obvious lip-syncing, the barn's lack of air conditioning, Wesley's consequence-free abuse of a henchman and the ineffective stuffed-bear attack are criticized.
- Dalton leaves his old job without notice, raising doubts about his reliability and whether his bar improvements last after departure.
- Road House 2 with Jake Busey is rejected as a squandered sequel opportunity.
- Modern litigation might make violent professional coolers less viable, though the speaker invites correction.
- Dalton's constant smoking conflicts with his spiritual, mind-and-body discipline, though pain and personal demons are offered as possible explanations.
