The Purge

Picking Nits

Condiment-filled refrigerator; home defense; boyfriend rewrite; casual timing; Henry’s plan

In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:02:05Read transcript
  • The refrigerator appears stocked mainly with ketchup and mustard, attributed speculatively to the small budget. — Chris Ryan
  • The alarm salesman’s wealth is questioned; an underground shelter would make more sense than a home extension. — Bill Simmons
  • The director reportedly originally had the daughter threaten the father, but the studio required the less convincing boyfriend rewrite. — Bill Simmons
  • The family’s casual loss of time before lockdown is implausible. — Chris Ryan
  • Henry’s expectation of a continuing relationship after killing Zoe’s father makes no sense, and his older-boyfriend behavior is troubling. — Chris Ryan

  • Sydney Sweeney is proposed for a modern Zoe; 2013 replacements for the wife include Jessica Chastain and other proposed actresses, with agreement that the part needs more material. — Bill Simmons
  • A modern version leaves Sweeney between age groups; Emilia Clarke and Rose Leslie are alternatives for the mother. — Bill Simmons

What’s Aged the Worst?

Mary’s wig and characterization; Zoe; the former novelty of Hawke in horror

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 00:39:51Read transcript
  • The wig looks cheap, and the character lacks depth despite the performer’s ability; social anxiety about the neighbor party could have helped. — Chris Ryan
  • The shock of Hawke in this genre has faded; the short production schedule and inability to leave the house are discussed as limits that also create claustrophobia. — Bill Simmons
  • Zoe is criticized for ignoring her boyfriend’s obvious threatening behavior on Purge night, compared with Scream’s boyfriend trope. — Bill Simmons

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

The Ruffalo / Hanna / Rubinek / Partridge Overacting Award

Manson family woman

In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 00:55:02Read transcript
  • The overacting award is renamed for Vincent Hanna ("Give me all you got") after earlier names including Mark Ruffalo and Linda Partridge. — Bill Simmons
  • Nominees: the actor playing Bruce Lee for dialing it up, or the Manson family woman after her face is smashed. — Bill Simmons
  • A counterpoint says her flamethrower scene did not read as overacting. — Chris Ryan
  • Her real overacting is said to be in the car rant; it is then suggested to give it to her anyway. — Sean Fennessey
  • DiCaprio's trailer scene is ruled out; Zoe's character screaming at Pitt is called a little hard, with shades of Robert Shaw in Jaws.

What’s Aged the Best?

Jude Law's handsomeness

In the discussion (7)

  • Homeexchange.com is the first item: living in someone else's home on a whim was not mainstream in 2006, maybe a two-week rental, but it has been totally validated by the last five years and is as seamless now as the movie made it look, with the show-up-and-see-what-you-find thrill or the wish you had picked a hotel.
  • Los Angeles at Christmas is truly underrated and the movie did it justice: quiet with no traffic, a coat at night and warm sun by day, Christmas music playing; the drive onto Sunset off the PCH with no cars is saved as a nitpick.
  • Celebrating the art of movie trailers has aged well: in 2006 trailers were still corny voiceover work, but the film knew they mattered, the Ringer now runs a trailer bracket, Cameron Diaz's 'that's why they pay me the big bucks' moment with the Lindsay Lohan trailer shows the cynical side, and 'now it looks like a hit' with Katherine Hahn and John Krasinski shows the movie invested in the changing landscape.
  • The Hans Zimmer score is very lovely and the soundtrack, with the White Stripes for the bed dance, James Taylor's Merry Little Christmas, the Phil Spector Christmas album and a 'Neretha Franklin' (as transcribed) cover of You Send Me, cues every song perfectly; Zoe, picked up from the train, recognized the music in the car, and it conveys a feeling that is very Nancy Meyers.
  • Jude Law's handsomeness is timeless, as is how he dresses, the hot tweedy British guy; men in L.A. all dress the same, so England or Boston professors would raise the odds, and only Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is as defined by one person's hotness.
  • Jude Law is objectively hotter than Hugh Grant but gives the same tweedy appeal as Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral, which one host calls the hottest Hugh Grant ever at a too-impressionable age, while another never believed Grant as a heartthrob; the panel agrees Jude Law definitely aged the best.
  • The L.A. house has aged very well: the exterior is a Wallace Neff house in San Marino by Pasadena, seen when Cameron Diaz talks to Ed Burns from the balcony, classic Spanish architecture and a dream L.A. home.

The Joey Pants “That Guy” Award

Riley Keough, with Zoe Kravitz floated

In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 00:36:26Read transcript
  • The award, understood as someone we did not quite know who emerged as someone to remember, like Joey Pantoliano, prompts 'I guess this is Zoe, right?' before the written-down answer: Riley Keough, granddaughter of Elvis Presley, a year before The Girlfriend Experience and now a pretty well-known actress.
  • The little guy in the basket with the periscope, Corpus Colossus, is asked about but is not in other work and has no Netflix show coming; a side fact is that Immortan Joe has another son in the video game adaptation named Scabrous Scrotus, and the game is called bad.
My Best Friend's Wedding The Rewatchables
My Best Friend's Wedding

What’s Aged the Best?

The title; Julia Roberts' and Cameron Diaz's looks; Chicago as a character; the White Sox setting; Cameron Diaz's BMW convertible; Julia sharing the screen with Diaz; the ending; Julia's crop tops and two pairs of sunglasses; someone telling you not to smoke; the backup pact

In the discussion (8)
Approx. transcript time · 00:35:36Read transcript
  • The title has aged best: rom-coms from about 1988 to 1998 had fantastic four-word titles that explained the movie, like When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle and While You Were Sleeping.
  • Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz have aged fantastically; Julia has never looked better in a movie and Cameron Diaz probably hasn't either, both at the peak of their powers, though one host found Diaz's hairstyle too frumpy and the shift dresses too many.
  • Chicago is used nicely as a character: a great summer city that is minus nine with a wind chill in December, telegenic with big buildings and cool suburban spaces; it is also a White Sox movie rather than a Cubs movie, which was ahead of its time in picking the cool team, perhaps because the Cubs would not allow it or for money.
  • Cameron Diaz's BMW convertible, seen when she picks Julia up at the airport, is an iconic mid-90s car; the driving scenes are funny, she is a terrible driver, and it is the only point where the movie puts you in Julia Roberts' perspective.
  • Julia being okay battling for screen time with Cameron Diaz has aged really nicely, since most top-tier list actresses would not have been cool with that; the ending where she does not end up with him also holds up.
  • How beautiful Julia Roberts looks, in a style that is current again, is one host's hands-down choice: the half shirt or crop top, the two pairs of sunglasses, outfits Zoe Simmons tries to wear now, and the small sunglasses Kanye told Kim are in; smoking is not in, but having someone tell you not to smoke still is.
  • The concept of the backup pact, if we're not married by a certain age, really started with this movie and is now seen everywhere, having taken on a life of its own. — Amanda Dobbins
  • The pact's age limit of 28 is far too low and seems very early now; if someone did this today it would be more like 38, a point that had been planned for what's aged the worst.
