- Lindo's heightened performance is enjoyed and considered appropriate; Mrs. Chow's behavior is another overacting irritation. — Bill Simmons

- Machine, Giselle and Judith Ivey are alternatives; the mother character is disliked, and the final selection is Lindo.
The Butch’s Girlfriend Award for the Weakest Link in the Film
Supernatural visual effects; accents
In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 01:01:46Read transcript
- Demon transformations look dated, although the institution scene remains effective; ambiguity might have worked better.
- The overt demons change the nature of the film; one participant would classify dated effects as Aged Worst rather than Weak Link because the problem is repairable. — Van Lathan
- Delroy Lindo’s and Reeves’s accents become alternative weaknesses, with Reeves’s accent fluctuating between scenes and exaggerating Gainesville speech.

- The actor known as Adebisi is proposed for the voodoo practitioner instead of Delroy Lindo; Lindo’s improvised-sounding accent is criticized, and the alternative performer is called underused. — Bill Simmons
Apex Mountain
Rene Russo in 1996; Ransom for kidnapping movies; Gibson-Russo pairing
In the discussion (7)
Approx. transcript time · 01:09:16Read transcript
- Gibson's Apex is Braveheart, the year before. — Bill Simmons
- Russo made this and Tin Cup in the same year opposite Costner and Gibson and never had more juice than 1996: Apex Mountain for her. — Bill Simmons
- Ransom may be the Apex Mountain for kidnapping movies, as a big moneymaker that overtly announced itself as a kidnap movie, maybe the most popular ever. — Bill Simmons
- It is not Delroy Lindo's Apex; his steady run (Crooklyn, Clockers, Get Shorty, Broken Arrow, Ransom, The Devil's Advocate) had no clear peak, but if he had one it was Crooklyn, where he was the lead. — Bill Simmons
- Sinise's Apex is probably Apollo 13, coming off Gump. — Bill Simmons
- The Gibson-Russo combo was peaking right around now; Jackie Brown as a movie character is also noted, with a Jackie Brown movie the next year. — Bill Simmons
- Whether the couple's apartment is the Apex Mountain for rich-guy New York apartments is asked; it is called amazing, worth a deleted scene, and a revelation to someone from Louisiana, though Gecko is another candidate. — Bill Simmons

- It is a two-man race between Donnie Wahlberg and Del Rey Lindo, who is in just few enough scenes to be eligible. — Bill Simmons
- Lindo won it in the scene where the phone rings and he gets in Gibson's face like a corner man in a championship fight. — Bill Simmons
Recasting Couch
Ving Rhames; Phil Hartman as the Alcatraz guide; Delroy Lindo; John Cusack; Danny Trejo; Josh Hamilton as White House Chief of Staff
In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:09:19Read transcript
- No better era-specific actor than Tony Todd comes to mind; Carl Weathers is too old, so a mid-90s Carl Weathers, with Ving Rames possibly overqualified but a fit. — Bill Simmons
- Bring back Phil Hartman's Alcatraz guide from So I Married an Axe Murderer as the Alcatraz guide. — Bill Simmons
- Delroy Lindo is suggested and welcomed. — Mina Kimes
- John Cusack, from Con Air, could have done interesting things with the role, though Cage is loved in it. — Mina Kimes
- Danny Treo as a mercenary and Josh Hamilton as the White House Chief of Staff. — Chris Ryan
