Approx. transcript time · 00:55:59Read transcript

Most Rewatchable Scene

The baseball catch; the murder and incinerator sequence

In the discussion (12)
Approx. transcript time · 00:37:24Read transcript
  • Rick boating with Frank and Danny while claiming he does not want to replace Frank is nominated.
  • Ray’s wedding entrance and Rick’s improvised thanks for dressing up are praised; the hosts wish the wedding sequence were longer. — Bill Simmons
  • The baseball catch is selected as the strongest and funniest scene, with Vince Vaughn’s throwing motion and bullying performance discussed separately.
  • Ray watching college basketball with a sex worker is nominated.
  • Danny hiding in the car, Ray’s stabbing, and the incinerator disposal are praised as a well-staged sequence.
  • Rick entering Danny’s room and menacing him is nominated as the point when his threat becomes personal. — Bill Simmons
  • Frank punching a man outside the school and then announcing that he has committed kidnapping is selected as a comic favorite. — Bill Simmons
  • The boathouse fire and Susan realizing Rick is dangerous are nominated. — Bill Simmons
  • Rick confronting Danny over the stolen wallet is nominated.
  • Danny betraying Frank on the witness stand is discussed as a nightmare sequence.
  • The garage confrontation and Rick’s electrocution are discussed as badly staged but rewatchable for their absurdity.
  • The baseball catch is reaffirmed as the main pick, while the killing, incinerator, and Danny’s escape from the car are also chosen. — Bill Simmons

Two for the Money

The Stephen A. Smith Hottest Take Award

Historical remake; James Baby Doll Dixon; a hero who only wins

In the discussion (4)
Approx. transcript time · 01:07:04Read transcript
  • The hottest take proposes a period remake that explicitly treats the old gambling culture as history, ideally using recognizable licensed sports footage. — Bill Simmons
  • A period remake could explain the wild-west sales culture instead of assuming audience familiarity.
  • James Baby Doll Dixon is proposed as Walter in a remake, with Vince Vaughn another casting thought.
  • Another hottest take wants pure wish fulfillment: a protagonist who keeps winning until the credits without the conventional collapse. — Cousin Sal
Rudy The Rewatchables
Rudy

Picking Nits

Funeral exit; Jamie’s football performance; invented support; player physiques

In the discussion (7)
Approx. transcript time · 01:26:50Read transcript
  • Rudy leaving Pete’s funeral early is selfish, with a callback joking he should instead be arrested over the mill accident. — Bill Simmons
  • Jamie tiptoeing before Rudy tackles him looks absurd and prompts joking charitable-run labels. — Bill Simmons
  • The tackle’s chant and Jamie’s sudden support feel unearned, and a Notre Dame obsessive should have known Fortune played there. — Bill Simmons
  • The unauthorized halfback pass in a blowout is an implausible violation that should get the participants disciplined. — Kyle Brandt
  • Vaughn’s six-foot-five build is implausible for a1970s tailback, while his impressive pass suggests quarterback; receiver or tight end would also fit better. — Kyle Brandt
  • Notre Dame’s bulky starting tailback looks like an anachronistic250-pound player rather than a mid-1970s back. — Kyle Brandt
  • The family’s reaction to the improbable sack should be stunned disbelief rather than routine cheering. — Bill Simmons
Rudy The Rewatchables
Rudy

Apex Mountain

Sean Astin; Charles S. Dutton; modern-era Notre Dame football; Ron Dean; Vincent Vaughn billing; all-time centers

In the discussion (8)
Approx. transcript time · 01:19:21Read transcript
  • Astin’s signature role is judged Rudy despite personal Toy Soldiers preferences and the scale of Lord of the Rings; the suggestion Encino Man followed it is a podcast chronology claim, not verified metadata. — Kyle Brandt
  • Notre Dame initially receives a no, then its modern football era receives support for1988–94 and the1993 season; Dutton receives clear support alongside Roc. — Kyle Brandt
  • Ross’s peak is placed at Major League, while Vaughn receives a joking yes specifically for his full Vincent screen billing rather than his later Vince career. — Bill Simmons
  • Dean’s simultaneous Rudy and The Fugitive appearances make a persuasive career-peak case. — Bill Simmons
  • All-time centers in informal football receive a yes, with the position’s limited appeal mocked. — Bill Simmons
  • Vaughn/Favreau collaborations peak at Swingers; Rockne speeches are assigned an alternative in The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training and criticized as overrated here. — Bill Simmons
  • Astin’s crying is preferred in Toy Soldiers despite anticipated Return of the King objections. — Kyle Brandt
  • Unsupportive sports-family members peak with Paulie, including the later loss of Rocky’s money; Rocky’s unpaid Drago fight also deserves blame. — Bill Simmons
Rudy The Rewatchables
Rudy

The Dion Waiters Award for Best Heat Check Performance

Vince Vaughn; equipment manager (personal choice)

In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 01:15:06Read transcript
  • Nominees include Pete, Prosky, Vaughn, the equipment manager, both assistant coaches, Steele and Astin’s stunt double. — Bill Simmons
  • The equipment manager is a deliberately minor personal choice for his stiff single line, while Vaughn is judged the likely winner from two contrasting scenes. — Bill Simmons
