Producer review

Producer Craig agrees the film runs about twenty-five minutes too long and says the sex-worker scenes drag; he adds that Jesus's unprotected, ordinary high-school life is striking for a prospect treated as a future top pick.

In the discussion (8)
Approx. transcript time · 02:01:21Read transcript
  • The producer explains that his parents' child-rearing years left him with a gap in 1990s movie knowledge.
  • He agrees that the film could be about twenty-five minutes shorter.
  • The eight-minute Milo Jobovich stretch is his clearest example of the excess length.
  • He is struck that a nationally known future top pick still attends school and plays in public without a protective structure.
  • The hosts answer that this reflects the pre-AAU and pre-social-media era.
  • LeBron is identified as the first high-school player whose fame felt nationally inescapable.
  • The later mixtape and social-media eras are described as distinct stages in high-school-player celebrity.
  • The closing explicitly credits producer Craig Horroback in the machine transcript.

Scent of a Woman

The Stephen A. Smith Hottest Take Award

Craig argues that Pacino is actively bad and that the performance plays like a parody of a blind role.

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 01:24:15Read transcript
  • The producer says he did not enjoy the movie and calls Pacino actively bad.

Who Won the Movie?

Daniel Day-Lewis wins the two-to-one host vote over Paul Thomas Anderson after an extended dispute; Craig finds Sean’s PTA case more compelling but does not cast a candidate ballot.

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 02:03:04Read transcript
  • Sean selects PTA as writer, director, producer, conceiver, and career-transforming author of the whole work.
  • The other two hosts choose Day-Lewis because no substitute could reproduce the singular performance or the movie’s rewatchability.
  • Craig evaluates the arguments without declaring his own candidate, and the panel acknowledges that PTA may own the film’s longer historical legacy.
