The part about Bill being a potential bookie in prison was hilarious 😂 this pod is a classic already lmao

@taylorcwilliamson 3 месяца назад

Right before too. “But what would you do to make you so valuable in prison that you couldn’t be fucked over?” “That’s what I’m saying I’m going to do play by play for pick up sports” “Yea I don’t think that’s going to wor-“ “-Then I’d be a drug dealer”

Van in the big black hat is a vibe and I’m here for it. Sean could benefit from that, maybe a straw boater.

The first 5 minutes showed why Burt Reynolds was the biggest star of the 1970's. He had it all. He was sexy, charisma, a real big leading star. Man, I loved him, always will.

@pauld8341 3 месяца назад

I think The Oceans 11 remake and the sequels that follow really overshadows the 60s Rat Pack original to where people are like "Oh, this movie is a remake?"

@ZJ-ne9kn 3 месяца назад

Burt was so versatile a lot of those guys from that era were also love them doing more 70s movies here for it. Glad i watched the deliverance one when i dis because now i cant find it on youtube..

@richard-wg8pt 3 месяца назад

Loved this podcast. I’ve been looking forward to this podcast for a long time. But I’m surprised none of the guys mentioned the “Nate Scarboro timeout”. This movie (I think) started the real life practice of all the players on the field coming over to the sideline during timeouts.

As a huge Burt reynolds fan. Smokey and the bandit is his peak and the best movie. Needs a rewarchable apparently. Also only one football movie I can rewatch at this point and I’ve seen them all. Best of times. Starring Kurt Russell and robin williams. Rewatch that one.

Reynolds is a bummer to me. His characters resembled him in real life, where he was care free but always landed on his feet. He felt bulletproof, but in real life, things caught up didn't end well. He controlled the ladies in the movies but lost to Loni big.

Bill and this crew did not identify North Dallas Forty as another good football movie. Hoping they just forgot because these guys usually never miss something like that.

@michaelb3927 3 месяца назад

Mixture of Cruise or Hanks & Recasting Couch Think Hanks would have made a great Caretaker if they made this in the late 80’s and feel maybe Kevin Costner would make a great Crew 🤔 essentially Crash Davis plays football / goes to prison?? Tom Cruise as Captain/Guards QB would work too but was too short and young at that specific time

@cobbler88 3 месяца назад

Since "What's aged worst" is basically Bill's chance to clutch his pearls and pretend that things that made a movie awesome should now be poo-poo'd, I'll toss something out there that's dead nuts on regarding what's aged worst, that he'd never have the balls to put out there: The percentage of black inmates at the prison being so low. That would clearly require an augmented suspension of disbelief today.

Another for only Americans who loves game movies😮. Only rewatchable thing is selection of the players. Other than that, it's a totally unrewatchable dated movie. Guys, for a dated non american sports movie, do Blind Fury or Ladyhawke instead.

You might need to watch the movie again. It’s great and doesn’t require an American sports fan to enjoy it. The ideas in it are pretty universal. That being said… If you are too biased against American sports movies to enjoy them, maybe a podcast run by Bill Simmons is not the show for you. He’s an American sports guy to his core.
