  • An attractive woman reacting with dismay to renewed gambling is a reliable movie pleasure, although Amy entered the relationship knowing Bennett was already spiraling. — Bill Simmons
  • The casting director’s credit signals strong taste and confidence in the ensemble. — Bill Simmons
  • King of Spades as a phone-contact entry is enjoyed, prompting discussion of insulting real-life contact labels. — Bill Simmons
  • MichaelK.Williams’s substantial role and scene work are celebrated. — Bill Simmons
  • Ideas connect across scenes, such as suicidal gambling leading into Camus; Monahan’s observation about a sixth bullet reportedly came from his own literary reading. — Bill Simmons
  • The electricians line playfully recycles a comparable politicians line from The Departed. — Bill Simmons
  • Koreatown at night provides instant cinematic atmosphere. — Bill Simmons
  • The unusual soundtrack and two M83 tracks work even for a listener who is not generally a fan. — Bill Simmons
  • Questioning how a BMW owner can be unhappy and whether a book was written sincerely are memorable lines. — Bill Simmons
  • Neville’s dismissive assessment of the novel’s adaptation as an indie is funny. — Bill Simmons
  • Lamar speaking in the third person and Neville’s crew reacting to the point-shaving game resemble a modern gambling watch-along. — Bill Simmons

John Wick: Chapter 2

Is This Movie Better With…?

All three: Steve Buscemi in the Continental, Danny Trejo among the assassins, Michael K. Williams alongside Fishburne's Bowery King

  • The category is brought back for this movie and all three would have ruled: they should all be assassins trying to kill Wick, Buscemi would be a great Continental guy or bartender in the vein of his Miller's Crossing character, Trejo one of the assassins when the first call goes out, and Michael K. Williams could run the Motel 6 empire with Fishburne as the Bowery Prince to his Bowery King.

  • One host finds it clearly Trejo and is upset he was not in the movie; the other disagrees, since Trejo is too gruff and the film needs somebody slick like Michael K. Williams as the bad guy's henchman, replacing the unloved main muscle left standing after the shootout, so that it is basically Omar in that role, which is granted to be pretty good.

Approx. transcript time · 00:56:34Read transcript
  • Steve Buscemi is disqualified at once for looking sixty years old, though he could have been Jesse's dad getting out of prison for one scene; Danny Trejo versus Michael K. Williams is tough, and the movie arguably needs Michael K. Williams because, other than Ja Rule, it does not have a lot of signature Black performers.
  • Danny Trejo feels like he should absolutely be in the movie, imagined working at Toretto's Market in a little paper hat as Dom's uncle who just got out and is rebuilding his life, joining the family by Fast Four; the vote goes to Trejo.
Old School The Rewatchables
Old School

Is This Movie Better With…?

None needed; Steve Buscemi as the principal and Danny Trejo as a silent frat brother floated; Michael K. Williams does not fit

Approx. transcript time · 00:54:17Read transcript
  • Buscemi maybe could have played the principal; Treo (as transcribed) would have been a great frat member, the intimidating mute guy they pulled in; Michael K. Williams does not fit and would have been weird; nobody thought the film needed any of the three, a tough category for this one.

  • With two of the three already in the movie, Michael K. Williams wins by default, though the hosts do not want to add anyone; he could have been another prisoner on the plane, perhaps 'Osiris' in the imagined new version alongside Miles Teller, or the politically correct 2018 version of Johnny 23, an arsonist rather than a Bitcoin or blockchain guy.
  • At the top of the show the category is invoked: two of the three, 66%, are in this movie, which alone might make it a first-ballot Rewatchables Hall of Famer.
