I love Van and CR pulling Bill in opposite directions in the opening scene/Latina/Salma Hayek conversation. Van wanted a full blown discussion and CR couldn't wait for the discussion to be over. Bill started on CR's side out of caution, moved to Van's side when he starts talking about top 5 Latinas, and then back to CR once he saw the rest of his career flash before his eyes.
@@captaincoon_ Van knows he can pull the black man card, which expels him from all responsibilities to be an adult despite the fact that his hairline is starting to form alphabetic letters.
@@HKim0072Sagan is the main reason it works. The scientific foregrounding helps me to go along with the more imaginative elements and even makes bearable some of the schmaltzier moments.
The substance abuse part of this film is by far the best part of it, carried by Denzel of course. Without him it is a mediocre film with some great spots. But Denzel is magnificent. This films shows why he's one of the best ever.
The biggest nod to drug addiction is the entire movie is a crash from the initial high and sitting in the wreckage of it's set up. It's not all coke off strippers butts, it's stealing your mom's tv for crack money, it's drying out in rehab.

Perfect song choices by the way in the scene when he was passed out in the bathroom. They start off with Sympathy For The Devil when they are trying to wake him up. After he does the cocaine, it goes right to Feelin' Alright by Joe Cocker.
I'm pretty new to the Rewatchables and I love it. I hope they can do some older movies like: Breakfast at Tiffany's Casablanca Psycho The African Queen
I watched the movie the plane crash is unbelievable cinema. The use of Sweet Jane made me emotional. Thanks for reminding me about this movie. IThe hearing scene is some of the best acting in Denzel's career. That moment when he can't bring himself to stain the beautiful stewardesses reputation is the a bottom he can't touch and the beginning of his redemption. What a dramatic moment and he delivers it perfectly.
Geez, I just googled Alaska Airlines Flight 261 where they went inverted. I used to fly that airline during that same time period and I don't even remember any crashes. Internet and news just moved slower back then.
If you're a fan of this movie, you should seek out a 1980 movie called 'The Pilot' starring and directed by Cliff (with great power comes great responsibility) Robertson.
One of the best Rewatchables podcasts. “Flight” is an amazing movie that works on many levels. The Kelly Reilly character, storyline is the weakest link. What about a “Flight” movie that stays with Whip and doesn’t get distracted by the Kelly Reilly storyline?
I know it's kinda immature, but I can't help but find Whip as a character just cool as hell. He sleeps with beautiful women, snorts a line, then not only saves a hundred lives, but does it in the coolest calmest way possible. And even at the end, he still takes accountability.
54:40 They missed a key detail that the airline, inverted flight and incident were inspired by real Alaska 261 crash. Much like “Southjet” Alaska Air had a poor aviation reputation and record for safety.
"I'm a results driven MF'er" 😂😂😂 So true when thinking about Denzel landing that plan coked out & drunk!!! 💯💯💯 THIS IS NOT A TOP 5 DENZEL PERFORMANCE!!!! John Q was a better performance 💯💯💯
United 93 is rewatchable at least up until Ben Slinney says "That's it, we're finished" then almost everything that happened on the plane is conjecture from fragments heard on the airphone calls and what is heard on the radio. It's a great movie about ATC and military men and women trying to figure out what it going on. And so many of the military and ATC guys are cast as themselves. You listen to the actual ATC on 9/11 and you recognize the voices from the movie.
"When's the last time youv've had an Amy Adams in The Master conversation?" - actually several times. When is the last time ANYONE has had a conversation about Flight besides the plane crash after 2012 - never!
I love the podcast but I find him to be a bad fit. He is not articulate enough as shown by his needless swearing. He's also always yelling. He ruins these for me. Bill, Chris and Sean are the best.
Chris Ryan - " Like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like, terrible impression, like like like like like like like like like like"
Strange. When Sympathy for the Devil came in, I immediately thought of Denzel in movie "Fallen" 1998. That got me thinking they use this song way to much.
