The Joey Pants “That Guy” Award
Stephen Tobolowsky as Ned Ryerson
In the discussion (4)
Approx. transcript time · 00:55:59Read transcript
- Ned Ryerson's actor is picked, with a proposal to rename the award after him; he embraced being a that guy, and this role is his Lincoln Memorial rather than a Mount Rushmore. — Sean Fennessey
- The rename would need a check with CR; he is definitely in the Hall of Fame. — Bill Simmons
- His sleazy harasser of Bridget Fonda in Single White Female is hard to accept because he is so identified as Ned Ryerson. — Bill Simmons
- A favorite bit is Ned hugging him immediately and asking whether he can call in sick while holding him. — Sean Fennessey
The Joey Pants “That Guy” Award
The Ghost actor as one of the apartment assassins; Don Novello as Dominic Abondondo; Mario Donatone as the Sicilian assassin
In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:04:09Read transcript
- The first pick is one of the two assassins in Vincent's apartment with Bridget Fonda, the actor who played Willie Lopez in Ghost; the scene is bad but lovable, with the most incompetent assassins ever. — Bill Simmons
- Don Novello, Father Guido Sarducci, plays the PR man Dominic Abondondo, which is funny in a movie about the Pope and the Church. — Sean Fennessey
- John Savage is called kind of a That Guy, since The Deer Hunter was pretty big. — Chris Ryan
- Mario Donatone is named as the Sicilian assassin (transcribed "Moscow"). — Chris Ryan
- The Archbishop Gilday actor prompts a repeated impression of "the power to absolve debt is greater than the power of forgiveness", and Pacino seems to be keeping a straight face.
