The two boys are named Glenn and Rod, with Rod Lane and Fred Kruger also raised; with Tina and Nancy, the names are out of the 1950s.
A tangent lists recent Rods, Rod Strickland, Rod Tidwell and Rod Benson, notes the move to Rodney, and jokes there are no dicks anymore, citing Joe House's father, Dick House.
Costner's Apex is Dances with Wolves, Marin's earlier comedy or later family-film career is debated, and Johnson's is Miami Vice. — Bill Simmons
Not laying up is floated as Apex; West Texas is redirected to Friday Night Lights, Russo is uncertain against other hits, and Peter Jacobsen and the CBS crew in movies receive affirmative answers. — Bill Simmons
Caddyshack is the golf-film peak despite Tin Cup's authenticity; Waffle House and the U.S. Open do not receive secure affirmative peaks.
Armadillos, the seven-iron and Nantz specifically in movies receive support; Nantz's overall career and partnership with Venturi peaked elsewhere. — Bill Simmons
Unexpected sports-movie losses are proposed for comparison; Rocky is preferred, its result corrected from a draw, while Friday Night Lights offers a strong surprise.
A new House flex identifies the moment sex between characters becomes inevitable; the trailer visit is the corrected example, replacing the second-lesson recollection, and its title remains under development. — Bill Simmons
Dangerfield's golf bag; the fake names; Lacey Underall; Lacey's yellow 450S; Bushwood T-shirts; Billy Baru; "Noonan!"; Carl washing golf balls; Elahue Smales; the Kenny Loggins theme; "Ooh, my arm, it's broken"; Smales's golf outfits; the Dalai Lama story
The golf bag of Dangerfield's character had a phone, a stereo, a quarter keg, a putter with an electronic tracking device and a contraption that shot all the clubs into the air. — Bill Simmons
Asked about his golf-bag preference, he prefers little bags out of respect for caddies, using a big bag only with a cart. — Bill Simmons
Caddying one summer was worse than building bathroom partitions in public schools: hot, painful, rude members and selfish heavy bags. — Bill Simmons
Caddying ropes in kids with tips and the outdoors; 20 of the 25 worst moments of one participant's life came while caddying, except mid-80s Tuesday mornings carrying putters for the women; be nice to waiters and caddies. — Bill Simmons
The fake names: Mitch Comstein, Lacey Underall, Dr. Bieber, Al Servic, Carl Lipbaum and Chuck Schick; Dr. Beeper has a lot of screen time and feels like an unfinished SNL character. — Bill Simmons
Lacey Underall is great; the actress followed a Sybil Shepard-like model-and-commercials playbook and was a real newcomer. — Bill Simmons
Lacey's yellow 450S is great, though a convertible would have been the final piece. — Bill Simmons
The Bushwood C.C. T-shirts were wished for 18 years ago in writing. — Bill Simmons
Billy Baru, a special putter for big situations, is loved; the talk turns to naming clubs and a participant's named pool cues from playing pool for money. — Bill Simmons
"Noonan!" became so embedded in culture that it is surprising to see in the movie; the tactic works in horse, but anyone who talked through a putt would get hit. — Bill Simmons
Carl washing his golf balls and the Mrs. Crane monologue remain hilarious, though his interest in the women is weird and offensive.
Carl is probably in jail after blowing up the golf course. — Bill Simmons
"Elahue, will you come here and look for my stretch mark" kills, and Elahue Smales is an incredible comedy-writer name. — Bill Simmons
"Ooh, my arm, it's broken" became a running joke, along with Beeper's possible fractured ulna. — Bill Simmons
Judge Smales's golf outfits, including a pink shirt and plaid pants, evoke late-70s Jack Nicholas and are something Joe House would wear now; the deep four-button polos are instantly dated. — Sean Fennessey
The Dalai Lama story may be the funniest scene in movie history, colliding goofball material with Zen thinking yet legible to a six-year-old; "I got that going for me" is now part of the lexicon. — Sean Fennessey
He is holding a real pitchfork, and the kid in that scene is said to be visibly terrified of being impaled. — Bill Simmons
The whole movie is that-guys; Tarasov has been seen in 40 movies without anyone knowing the name, making him a rare possible Dion Waiters and Joey Pants double; the guy from The Wire is a case but people know his name; it is Peter Stormare, a well-known actor from Fargo and The Big Lebowski.
Thomas Sadowski (as transcribed), Don from The Newsroom, who plays the cop in both films, is the pick and is agreed to be a good call; Ruby Rose does not get it since she has no dialogue, and her credits include Orange is the New Black, Resident Evil movies, the Meg and now playing Bat girl (as transcribed); Leguizamo as the mechanic Aurelio is up there, though he is Leguizamo.
Leguizamo's friendship with Wick almost went in what aged worst: how did they become friends, do they hang out on a Tuesday night watching Mets against the Braves with Sicilian pizza delivered to his Joe house, and Aurelio simply agrees to fix the car.
