  • The failed 1997 Fargo television pilot with Edie Falco and director Kathy Bates prompts discussion of how its failure left Falco available for The Sopranos, and which cast members were essential. — Bill Simmons
  • Prestige television is the obvious continuation because the series exists. Recollections of its connections are uncertain; Hobbit actor confusion is corrected to Martin Freeman. — Bill Simmons

Die Hard with a Vengeance

What’s Aged the Best?

Racial partnership; hangover; New York; Gruber reveal; deadlines; Zeus’s brains; Katia’s entrance

  • The black-white partnership directly confronts racial suspicion and unequal power while requiring cooperation against the European villains. — Van Lathan
  • McClane’s desperate need for aspirin makes this a great hangover movie. — Bill Simmons
  • Location filming and the police-station line urging a reluctant officer to take a call remain pleasures. — Bill Simmons
  • The revenge-minded brother works better than a similar Another 48 Hrs. device; hiding Simon until around minute fifty increases the impact of his appearance.
  • Simon’s impersonation and visibly wounded response to McClane insulting Hans add enjoyment and depth. — Van Lathan
  • Targo’s elaborate background as a Hungarian explosives expert working for Iran is relished. — Bill Simmons
  • The Gruber-name reveal and flashback to Hans falling are enjoyed. — Chris Ryan
  • A passenger unknowingly entering an action-scene cab and commandeering a civilian Mercedes are reliable comic pleasures. — Bill Simmons
  • The battered, hungover everyman who can still rise to the occasion defines Willis’s distinctive action persona.
  • Repeated deadlines, sometimes running in real time, and loss of radio communication sustain urgency. — Chris Ryan
  • The dummy mission, school-bomb search and heist create a multifront narrative anticipating later action movies. — Van Lathan
  • This performance may exaggerate the familiar Jackson persona, but Pulp Fiction is agreed to be its main source for impersonations. — Bill Simmons
  • Zeus solving St. Ives establishes him as the puzzle-solving brains; the initial attribution to McClane is corrected. — Bill Simmons
  • An action villain using Simon Says is an appealing device.
  • Katia’s sunglasses, slicked-back hair, cigarette and bloody knife attack make an exceptional entrance, compared favorably with Edie Falco in Cop Land. — Chris Ryan

Flight

What’s Aged the Best?

Washington’s damaged performance; crash staging; Reilly; smoking; SouthJet; souls; stroke-bags phrase; porn-set scene

  • Washington’s unglamorous, vulnerable performance contrasts with Alonzo’s swagger: addiction makes Whip cruel, physically worn and unpleasant without romanticizing intoxication.
  • Damaged Washington characters remain compelling; he allowed himself to age out of the handsome leading-man image and expand his roles. His private ranking and preparation are wondered about without answers. — Bill Simmons
  • The crash’s visual effects feel practical and unforgettable, compared with Jurassic Park, The Dark Knight and The Matrix; the silent glide toward the church is especially admired. Whether any real plane inverted is uncertain. — Chris Ryan
  • The first half-hour and Whip breathing oxygen while hungover are praised; IVs are imagined as a modern substitute. — Bill Simmons
  • Washington is praised as a great screen smoker, alongside De Niro, Liotta, Pacino, Mickey Rourke and Edie Falco in an unranked Mount Smokemore exchange.
  • Reilly is named as aged best, and the crash’s apparently practical staging remains exceptional. A recreational cocaine resurgence in the 2010s is claimed without detailed evidence.
  • SouthJet is a convincing low-end airline name; Whip’s career trajectory suggests stalled advancement. Calling passengers souls adds gravity.
  • The phrase stroke bags remains funny even as physical pornography magazines become dated; the made-up magazine title is corrected.
  • The trailer works despite a familiar Stones cue. Nicole visiting the porn set for The Beast with Two Backs inspires interest in a separate film about that production. — Bill Simmons

The Dion Waiters Award for Best Heat Check Performance

Peter Greene as Redfoot

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 00:56:54Read transcript
  • Giancarlo Esposito is floated and another cast member, garbled in the transcript as "peep pasta weight," is called eligible, but the award goes to Peter Greene as Redfoot, with his lines quoted. — Bill Simmons
  • Any movie like this from 1992 to 2010 needed Peter Greene; the hosts say personal problems, reportedly drugs according to the internet, kept him out of more movies. — Bill Simmons
  • Greene first impressed in Nick Gomez's Laws of Gravity with Edie Falco in 1992, and the hosts are surprised he was not in Heat. — Bill Simmons
