  • The two-on-two game is criticized for instant blitzes, no Mississippi count, a cramped yard, and no route tree.
  • They suggest asking Letterboxd for better touch-football scenes. A participant remembers realizing he wanted to marry his wife after watching her beat a college roommate in three-on-three football.
  • The sleeping arrangements and size of the house and guest house are difficult to reconcile.
  • A small running-shoe company having tradable stock and Harold freely disclosing the deal seem implausible.
  • Nick is judged too calm when a bat flies through his window after cocaine.
  • Harold collapses during the eulogy but immediately becomes a composed host without anyone addressing it.
  • The hosts ask whether Meg Tilly’s character should hang around because she seems like a detached and weird outsider.
  • Her presence is defended as a younger outsider who exposes the group’s fixation on the past.
