The Stephen A. Smith Hottest Take Award · 17:49
Better chemistry than La La Land
Mina Kimes: Mina’s early hottest take is that Gosling and Stone have better chemistry here, and a better romantic scene, than in La La Land.
Bill Simmons: An early hottest-take discussion treats Stone’s rise as visibly inevitable, comparing early Streep, Roberts and Cruise breakthroughs; Superbad is defended as an immediate star signal.
