  • Keeping the romantic leads apart until the end is an aged-best structural choice. — Bill Simmons
  • Reiner's dopey, sarcastic supporting presence makes a strong impact in only two scenes. — Bill Simmons
  • Becky's repeated silent reactions to Walter are an aged-best comic detail. — Bill Simmons
  • Jonah's backhanded thanks for unusually cooked potatoes is praised as a perfectly childish insult. — Bill Simmons
  • A YouTube horror recut treating Annie as a murderous stalker is enthusiastically recommended. — Bill Simmons
  • Victoria's excessive laugh is admired as a comic conception, although the performance and character provoke disagreement. — Bill Simmons
  • The number-one soundtrack is praised, naming Jimmy Durante, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Carly Simon, Gene Autry, Joe Cocker, Harry Connick Jr., Tammy Wynette and Celine Dion. — Bill Simmons
  • Ryan's dresses and trench coat preserve a very 1993 look that can count as both best and worst; Annie Hall influence and a speculative AIDS-era aversion to revealing clothing are discussed. — Bill Simmons
  • Seattle's water, Pike Place and houseboat are aged-best choices; the airy light wood, round stair window and bathroom are especially admired, while the houseboat's mobility is questioned. — Juliet Litman
  • Annie's investigation anticipates modern internet stalking; her extensive results with limited 1993 resources are admired while hiring a private investigator goes too far.
  • Radio intimacy and parasocial attachment have aged well as evidence that people talking remains compelling content. — Amanda Dobbins
  • Drinks rather than dinner remains an effective first-date strategy because it allows a quick exit.
  • Movie references to Fatal Attraction, Pride of the Yankees and An Affair to Remember remain legible rather than dating the comedy. — Juliet Litman
  • Annie briefing Walter on sensitive family topics, including financial losses and the IRS, remains a convincing social detail. — Juliet Litman

  • Leo and Kate, given their subsequent careers, are the number one answer, with James Cameron added. — Bill Simmons
  • The score and its variations of the song are praised, and the film is likened to a first-class dinner where every detail was considered. — Bill Simmons
  • Cameron reportedly sketched how people would behave facing death; the band playing to the end is another aged-best pick. — Bill Simmons
  • The mother reading to her children below deck, reportedly played by the actress from Terminator 2, is recalled as emotionally brutal. — Van Lathan
  • The Celine Dion song is one of the most identifiable songs ever attached to a movie; Winslet's nude scene is also cited as a generational milestone. — Bill Simmons
  • Cal's line when Rose breaks away the second time is called a great evil-guy line. — Bill Simmons
  • Mr. Andrews and Captain Smith are compared to the executive realizing the Westbrook trade failed and to Frank Vogel. — Bill Simmons
  • Bill Paxton is fondly remembered, and the salvage crew's work now resembles History Channel shipwreck and search programs, called Titanic spin-off content. — Van Lathan
  • The hosts' YouTube video about Rose is jokingly expected to age well, with a call for Rachel Lindsay's take on Higher Learning. — Bill Simmons
Good Will Hunting The Rewatchables
Good Will Hunting

What’s Aged the Best?

The friendship and the interpersonal relationships; Damon's performance; the two Elliot Smith songs; Casey Affleck's I Hate LA shirt; the Boston accents other than Robin Williams's; the 'how about them apples' scene; the ending; Robin Williams's and Ben Affleck's clothes; the dialogue

  • The friendship, since this is really a buddies movie about the bonds of friends; Damon is great and it is hard to believe he did not win the Oscar over Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets, a two-person category that year with Duvall for The Apostle, Peter Fonda and Dustin Hoffman for Wag the Dog; As Good As It Gets won Best Actor and Best Actress for Helen Hunt while Titanic won Best Picture, and everybody was fine with it when Jim Brooks was still one of the ten most important writer-directors.
  • The two Elliot Smith songs, Between the Bars and Miss Misery, one still not available on iTunes; his life went into a tailspin after the famous Academy Awards performance in the white suit where he seemed delicate and out of place, and the anecdote that he told anyone trash-talking Celine Dion to shut their mouth because she chilled him out before he went on.
  • Casey Affleck's I Hate LA shirt in the baseball scene, which one host owned as a kid and whose son is a year from growing into; the Boston accents are spectacular except Robin Williams, and Cole Hauser's is a little iffy in spots but he seems and looks like he is from Boston and carries the fuck-you attitude of the character.
  • The how-about-them-apples scene has aged incredibly, with the great ending and the callback you always forget is coming; Robin Williams's cardigans and things that don't match make him look like a widower who shops at Goodwill but still has some authority, and Affleck's clothes seem a little more expensive than they were, trying to look classier.
  • The interpersonal relationships between Damon and Affleck and Damon and Williams could be put in a movie from 1940 or 2018 and would still play.
  • The friendships are the easiest answer, mainly because of everything that happened afterward, so they are always connected forever; a case could be made for the how-about-them-apples scene, which people still say today and laugh at every time. — Shea Serrano
  • The apples line was apparently taken from Chinatown, the line Jack Nicholson has in that movie, so maybe Robert Towne wrote Good Will Hunting; I Swallowed a Bug, which Casey Affleck ad-libbed, was taken from Apocalypse Now; the dialogue has aged best because every line was on the tip of the tongue on rewatch, 60 lines recited while watching, which is unique and a testament to them sticking to their guns about their script.
  • You can understand why people suspected a Goldman rewrite because the movie is so obviously the sum of their love of movies: the playground fight is Mean Streets watched a thousand times, with Ordinary People and early Scorsese elsewhere; that Damon and Affleck stayed friends adds to it, this being their proxy movie.

Who Won the Movie?

In the discussion (4)
Approx. transcript time · 00:53:28Read transcript
  • Asked whether Kate Winslet won the movie, the host who could not take their eyes off her says she definitely wins it, she and the iceberg, which is called the big boss of the movie.
  • Another says you have to go with Leo: not peak Leo, which is Romeo and Juliet, but close; he is charming, and the role made him so famous he can do whatever he wants.
  • The third host is torn after both cases, wanting to say Winslet to support a breakout but swayed by Leo's charm; reminded that her breakout was Sense and Sensibility, the host is absolved to like Leo; someone then says that ultimately, for them, it is the chemistry, since the romance is all they care about.
  • Calling it a toss-up between Kate and Leo, the wrap-up turns to 'Doesn't James Horner win?', answered 'You're right, James Horner. And Celine Dion', whom the hosts have barely discussed.
