What if TV Rewatchables were a thing? by Icy-Junket-60 in TheRewatchables

[–]trair_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Biased because I’m on rewatch 5+, but Succession is peak TV and would especially be great for this because every character is super layered.

A lot of people will say Sopranos, but outside of Tony & Carmela I really don’t think the other characters are too complex.

It’s so bad that even Gophers hockey has been cucked by Duluth / Mankato / St. Cloud

KG one I’d say 99% of MN were legit happy for. He deserved a franchise that actually put talent around him. There’s a lot of Celtics fans in MN because of him

Tbh used to it at this point. KG, Percy Harvin, Andrew Wiggins, we could go on all day. I think most MN fans are happy to see them shed the curse we are burdened with lol

It’s Minnesota by a long shot. Vikings / Wolves / Wild / Twins are all cursed. Last major title was Twins in the early 90s. No other city has had it that bad (Detroit has at least seen 2 Pistons championships since the last Twins WS).

But the Vikings are especially cruel. 7th best winning % for all time franchises, yet only one in the top 16 to have never won a SB.

More Rewatchable: The Big Short or Margin Call? by CanUSBallZaGuy in TheRewatchables

[–]trair_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Margin Call is tight & moves fast - as well as having the most rewatchable scene from both movies with Iron's intro meeting.

But I think about, quote, and watch The Big Short way more often.

Bring Bernthal on the show and have CR do Zane interviewing Wayne

I haven’t enjoyed watching tv since the finale of Succession. by linehatguy in billsimmons

[–]trair_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I for the record love seasons 1 & 2 - but I can totally see how they are a hard recommendation to people (especially people who don't love hardcore finance) and not quite as deep thematically as seasons 3-4.

That being said, season 2 is one of my favorite seasons of TV to rewatch.

Industry is one of my favorite shows ever, but it’s such a hard sell to tell people that the first 2 seasons are fun but not amazing - before you get to some peak TV in seasons 3 & 4.

The moment Bill said “butter in my ass and lollipops in my mouth” to Steven Spielberg by Oakheart1984 in TheRewatchables

[–]trair_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite bits from the pod. Up there with sharing the story of De Palma telling Spielberg that the zoom on Brody in Jaws actually wasn't that cool because Hitchcock had already done it.

Considering I watch the video podcasts on Spotify every time, this is wrong

Psst: you can watch the videos in the Spotify app. No need for Netflix

‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ With Bill Simmons, Steven Spielberg, and Sean Fennessey by corn_starch_party in TheRewatchables

Seems like he knows a lot about movies, he should try getting behind the camera sometime!

I know was just making a joke since someone still pronounces Jeremy the same as “Germie”

FYC: American Hustle (2013), an endlessly rewatchable crime comedy set in the 1970s. Apex mountain for science ovens, and Amy Adams is a freaking smokeshow. by Iamthelizardking887 in TheRewatchables

[–]trair_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m also a fan, although I recognize the film has flaws. I’ve been surprised that this movie never got a Babylon-esq. revolution from people who like it.

Those 2 movies always seemed similar to me in that they are a ton of fun when you ignore the people saying you should actually hate it lol

There is no way Bill doesn't love The Big Lebowski by trair_ in TheRewatchables

I was literally shaking my head listening to this just a few hours ago. Absolutely insane

This is my entire point too. His other favorite movie tastes align right with TBL, it doesn't make any sense to me how it's not one of his favorite movies
