‘Forrest Gump’ LIVE With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, Mallory Rubin & Sean Fennessey | The Rewatchables 

Oh my lord! Mallory’s point that Forest Gump never ages is such a wormhole of insane theories

Is this Apex Mountain for the “Mallory Rubin Award”? I had to pause I was laughing so hard that I was crying when she gets thru the ping pong explanation. I still am now. Actual tears.

They did it again Jim! They crushed it!!

The Mallory Rubin Award segment made me laugh so hard, lol. She always great, but this was one of her best pods

Mallory absolutely killing it

1994 was a great year for movies

57:26 When Mama Gump is talking about “if God wanted everyone to be the same he’d give everyone braces on their legs”, it’s like the foundation of why Forrest is never angry with God about any of his situations in life because he understands that in life, “sometimes shit happens”. From his mother’s quote, Forrest is taught to understand that never in life are you promised and should never expect equal opportunities in life, but you are promised an equal opportunity at life, by just being born. What you do with that opportunity at just having a life is what matters. Some people are just meant to be different. It’s a line that keeps Forrest from being bitter with God about his current and future situations, as a boy wearing leg braces and later in life, by just accepting that his path in life was going to be different.

I was 8 when I saw this in the theaters. It took me an embarrassing amount of times rewatching this movie over the years before I actually understood the monsoon stopping and ambush scene.

I will likely listen to this one three or four times.

Nice work, Rewatchables team!

with respect to Babe Ruth, Mallory is the best thing Baltimore has ever given us

The end of the jogging scene is in Monument Valley, AZ. It has a pull off area so anyone can take some photos and reenact the scene. It’s cool.

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. Unless of course, you flip the box over and read the back. Momma wasn't too smart" EDIT: For the record, the above comment was made prior to hearing Bill's similar remark in the video. I ain't no joke thief 😃

1:27:03 Wayne Jenkins

This one’s a banger

Such great laughs and incisive analyses on these popular movies 🎥!!

Bill was on fire, that’s your championship

1:18:02 Bill's wrong, Bubba's tombstone says he died in June, 1967. Forrest says he spent five years in college. So he could've started college in 1961, is on Alabama's championship team in 1962, graduate, enlist, track down Jenny, and get deployed to Vietnam all in 1966, is in Vietnam until gets wounded in June, 1967, then rotates back to America, and receives the Medal Of Honor in 1968.

My favorite Rewaatchables, and I've seen at least 20. I wonder if it's any of the panelists' favorite, or among them.

There weren't the keys for all the chocolates before this movie. Many boxes of chocolate didn't have keys. I personally remember this and I'm sure many others do too.

That Forrest sequel would have been crazy 😂

Donnie Brasco should be the next Rewatchable.

I love the one for the fugitive I bet this one will be just as good.

They missed a great title rename, based on Mallory's comment about Jenny head-training Forrest. "The Oral History of Forrest Gump"

Bill Simmons is on the latest episode of Fly on the Wall podcast with Dana Carvey and David Spade. He’s great!

Just some of the other movies out in 1994: The Lion King, True Lies, Clear and Present Danger, Speed, The Mask, Ms. Doubtfire, Interview w/Vampire, Maverick, Schindlers List, Philadelephia, Ace Ventura, Wolf, Pulp Fiction, Dumb and Dumber, Four Weddings & Funeral, Naked Gun 33, The Crow, Pelican Brief, Natural Born Killers, The Professional, Shawshank. Now all we get is comic book movies.

I had no intention of watching this but it was so good I couldn't turn it off.

"Now you wouldn't believe me if I told you, (looks over with a confident smirk) but I could run like the wind blows."

American pie is the Apex mountain for premature in movies

That Chris-Vietnam bit was so underrated lmao.

One of the best RW's ever. Alongside Boogie Nights and, of course, Blackhat.

The Mallory Rubin Award! I laughed so hard! Plus, when Bill said if Forrest was a serial killer while jogging for the next 3 years! Directed by David Fincher! You guys are the best!

CR's joke about having a poster on his wall of "Big Nige" is an example of how he's the glue guy and MVP of The Ringer

Mallory and Sean both sound like they run out of oxygen halfway through their sentences.

Most rewatchable has to be "It's gumping time"

4 people from a podcast that talks about old movies and a theater full of people comes to see them talk about old movies. The world is officially weird.

It was someone's job to put all 12 of those waters on stage. I'm 1/3 of the way through and the only sip I've seen someone take is CR sipping Modelo.

Mallory is the best

Do the right thing in NYC please.

I have to ask again, who in the world is Wayne Jenkins? And what in the world is Chris yelling about?

Stock purchasing does in fact happen outside of public markets...

That’s why this film is so rewatchable there is so much material to think about within the story. It is steeped in symbolism. Back to the future will always be the dudes best film but this film ages quite well. That being said come on Mallory I respectfully disagree. the boat being named Jenny is fitting and part of the symbolism. Right or wrong that name gives gump strength the dream of her analogous to the sail boat and being a guiding star. Think about it.

This is class

They totally skip over the fact Forrest beats up Jenny's radical bf because he hits her.

Modern day rock stars. CR doing Wayne Jenkins is like a drum solo.

Dream Team.

1:21:21 Sean "The Jets fan" Fennessey is right Forrest is not the Father

I'd love to see a draft or top 20, 50, 100 list of movie characters. Multiple pods. Main characters draft. Villian draft. Dion Waiters draft.

Mallory was firing on all cylinders for this one.

I know it was an enormous hit, but I would trade 500 Forrest Gumps (along with everything else Zemeckis has ever done, in fact) for one more Used Cars.

That they don’t understand how this is a conservative movie only illustrates how little Liberals understand Conservatives. (Or he could have…read the article lol). This was great though-Mallory is the GOAT and she should be on more pods.

Why is the audio so bad?

I’ve never seen any of you in real life save for Bill. I made pictures of everyone in my head so it feels like stage has actors doing your voices perfectly. Feels so odd.

Hanks deserved best actor from Forrest Gump BUT the movie not deserved best picture that year

The most overrated movie in cinematic history

Jennifer Lawrence as Jenny.

Even though I enjoyed Pulp Fiction far more than Forrest Gump at the time they both came out, I think over the decades since Gump has aged much than Pulp. The circular story telling from Pulp is still innovative, and there are segments of the the film that are still fun, but I feel that the dialogue seems clunky and out of date, and the performances of different actors are quite uneven. Gump hits more emotional notes than Pulp, and you end up liking Hank's character far better as a human being than any of the obviously far-stretched characters in Pulp, who basically don't exist in real life. In the end, I just enjoyed Gump far more than Pulp.

Apex Mountain for premature ejaculation is American Pie.

None of the 4 wearing wide toe-box shoes

Forrest Gump Quotes I've said randomly 1000 times: That's all I have to say about that. And that son of a bitch Johnson. I'm sorry I had a fight at your black panther party Forrest Gump (6,000,000 times) These are my magic shoes. Go on back to Greenbo ALABAMA! I can run like the wind blows. Gump-Youre a goddamn genius. I believe he said he had to go pee.

Need better audio on these live recordings.

So much a podcast by Gen X. Lots of chocolates in the sixties did not come with a pictorial description of the product. Lyndon Johnson would definitely have shown his scar too. Forrest is not stupid, just lower IQ! Jogging was so huge in the early 70’s that someone doing that would not be inconceivable. Ping pong in the army or eight years…after Vietnam the military would keep anybody they could. Staff would get bonuses for soldiers who reupped. Again, I love this podcast, but the whole “ we don’t really know the 60’s” is kind of obvious. Yes I’m a boomer, late boomer so grew up in the 60-78 period.

Who TF we’re those people taking pictures of them entering ahah wtf

Loved this one at the beginning but the energy definitely fell off towards the end. You could tell even from just the audio on Spotify. I thought y’all could’ve dove into the psychology of Forrest Gump and what drove people to see this movie a little more. Still love the rewatchables though!

Two words, Fonz and Shark. I’ll holla when you get back in the studio Godfather…✌🏽

Lol the incels getting upset at Mallory is just so peak RU-vid comments.

How was Fortunate Son not the best needle drop??

Woah, Mallory has a big forehead

Shawshank was the best movie P4P in the decade of the 1990's

There is a story in the bible about premature ejaculation depending on how you view the phrase “second coming”

Jenny loved his incredible stamina

Take that running sequence out of there.

People pay money, stand on line, and cheer like crazed cultists for four people on stage just giving their opinions about a movie? Something we already do every day ourselves? Talk about desperate for entertainment.

Mallory, after her reference to the Baltimore Orioles, has become my huge crush.

Great stuff! And yes, I tried what I read the other day and it was mind blowing to see her writhing with pleasure and ready for anything. It started when I learned to last at least 30 minutes go’ogling the latest in Greyzar Drinbo's PE Solution and now she keeps dragging me back lol

Again BILL slanders TOM CRUISE for no reason whatsoever & SEAN puts him in his place AGAIN 6:39

Forrest Gump is sketchy

tbh, Chris Ryan contantly doing his yelling schtick is getting very old. i know your home boys seem to still love it, but thats just nostalgia talking.

The irony that having Mallory on makes the Rewatchables (one of my favorite pods) unwatchable

Sorry, Mallory is unlistenable

Mallory rubin is the most annoying women in podcasting. I was looking forward to listening and watching these live ahows but as soon as you announce MR is in the pod you have to switch it off. Absolutely ruined what could have been an awesome live pod to watch.

So many of MR points fall flat on their face with silence is has to effect her inside.

this is torture how is this popular at all?

2 things. Bills assumption that Morgan should’ve won simply by being black and Mallory’s forced obsession with Harrison ford pretending an 80 year old is sexy. So weird. Daddy issues

Loved this, but the lack of self awareness of a woke person asking “what happened that nobody watches the Oscar’s anymore” is pretty amazing.

Fuck that movie.

Trash movie. Love rewatchables

Damn it Mallory Rubin ruined a live pod. She is such an annoying person.

Not good. Quit trying for laughs. Stop giggling. Analyze the film.

Hanks was good, the movie sucks.

Stop the live pods!!! Or at least space them out. They’re entirely unlistenable. Also. I really hope these audience members are just drunk and playing it up. To hear people get this enthused about a stupid podcast really makes me wanna go into hibernation.

I will never understand why anyone is interested in talking about a 30 year old movie.

57:26 When Mama Gump is talking about “if God wanted everyone to be the same he’d give everyone braces on their legs”, it’s like the foundation of why Forrest is never angry with God about any of his situations in life because he understands that in life, “sometimes shit happens”. From his mother’s quote, Forrest is taught to understand that never in life are you promised and should never expect equal opportunities in life, but you are promised an equal opportunity at life, by just being born. What you do with that opportunity at just having a life is what matters. Some people are just meant to be different. It’s a line that keeps Forrest from being bitter with God about his current and future situations, as a boy wearing leg braces and later in life, by just accepting that his path in life was going to be different.

Half way thru and if Gary Sinese isn't the winner because of what happens after the movie, I quit this series.

Picking nits: live performance of a podcast sucks.

Tuscaloosa joke bomb in the first minute 😬

Stop doing these rewatchables in front of an audience because Chris, Mallory and Sean usually just want to be funny for the audience rather than analyzing the movie.
