  • The couple are predicted to have met too early for a permanent relationship because freshman-year changes and academic uncertainty would strain them. — Chris Ryan
  • One forecast has the relationship end after he drunkenly kisses someone else and she never forgives him; it may not survive the first summer. — Bill Simmons
  • A conflicting forecast says they make it through most of college before he wants to be himself and do something else. — Chris Ryan
  • Risky Business and The Sure Thing are ranked first and second among 1980s teen movies, followed initially by The Breakfast Club, The Karate Kid, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. — Chris Ryan
  • The Karate Kid is then removed from the teen-movie ranking because it is considered more a sports movie, leaving The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off on the four-film list. — Bill Simmons
  • Daphne Zuniga is argued to have deserved Brat Pack membership and to have been preferable to Ally Sheedy in St. Elmo's Fire, The Breakfast Club, and Bad Boys. — Bill Simmons
  • One Crazy Summer is used to compare Demi Moore's role with the kind of part Daphne Zuniga played, prompting speculation that Zuniga might have had a career resembling Moore's. — Chris Ryan

  • Stepping in early, one host says Robert Downey Jr. (transcribed 'Danny Jr.') as Kevin would make it a better movie; the other says he likes Andrew McCarthy. The name is spoken as 'Robert Downey as Kevin is the sweet spot' at 148. — Bill Simmons
  • For the Wendy part, an era-specific, better-looking brunette is sought: Daphne Zuniga (transcribed 'Daphne Zaniga'), contrasting with Demi Moore; the reply is "I like that." — Bill Simmons
  • Justine Bateman is raised and rejected as too famous given her 1985 show. — Chris Ryan
  • Helen Slater is proposed as Leslie and Linda Fiorentino, coming off Vision Quest, as Jules; the response is "That's pretty good." — Chris Ryan
  • Downey Jr. (transcribed 'Danny Jr.') is again called a win in that role (name as spoken at 148). — Bill Simmons

  • Zuniga (transcribed "Zaniga") is offered as one participant's own pick ("I got Zaniga here").
  • A second pick ("I had") is Cooch's abusive dad, played by the Major League manager, who dials it up, slapping Cooch, who then admits his Native American act is fake and he is German.
  • The award is left between those two ("So one of those two"); no co-winners are declared.
