Cannon is initially selected as eligible, with Grodin another possible choice. — Bill Simmons
Warden or Mason are proposed, but Warden is in too much; Mason is kept while Cannon’s Oscar nomination and disputed billing complicate the conversation. — Bill Simmons
Deacon Jones is then offered for a few lines, receiving assent; no clear unanimous winner resolves all prior choices. — Bill Simmons
Joe’s prescribed death is given as10:17am March20,2016; speakers momentarily confuse whether he would still be alive, then joke about an elderly football survivor.
A six-pack of Cannon includes wanting a drink, outfits, eye acting, screaming, reported partners and Lakers attendance. Her indifference during the shooting and the Grodin affair/pajamas/curtain comedy are added; Who’s Harry Crumb is called great as a comparison.
Gardenia’s police sergeant and the Grusin score are praised. A Gardenia month is an unrealized alternative, and Shawshank is a comparison for pleasurable musical company.
An overtime Super Bowl and a Rams/Steelers matchup are said to anticipate later real events. Filming is reported as September1,1977 at a Chargers/Rams preseason game; actual Rams/Steelers later played at the Rose Bowl, not the Coliseum.
Backup-quarterback popularity and constant switching are discussed alongside the era’s violence and interceptions. — Bill Simmons
California wellness and the liver/whey drink are an early cultural memory for one speaker; another places the disgusting drink in aged worst, and others say raw-organ diets persist now. These are cultural opinions, not health advice.
Environmental displacement concerns feel early and durable. Farnsworth’s rich impostor behavior, sailor/polo outfits and hollow status are praised as newly relevant.
Grodin could qualify, but Cannon is the chosen performer whose career did not seem to grow enough; another speaker previews a Cannon discussion for aged best. — Bill Simmons
