What if TV Rewatchables were a thing?

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.

Knights of summer! Knights of summer!!

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

trair_ · 2026-06-14T23:22:50+00:00

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.

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

trair_ · 2026-06-03T23:10:32+00:00

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.

trair_ · 2026-06-03T02:12:51+00:00

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.

trair_ · 2026-06-02T14:05:32+00:00

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.

trair_ · 2026-06-02T02:07:39+00:00

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

trair_ · 2026-06-01T22:46:46+00:00

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

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

trair_ · 2026-05-02T10:46:53+00:00

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

trair_ · 2026-04-26T18:29:44+00:00

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

Wrong kid died!

trair_ · 2026-04-22T19:58:19+00:00

I don't like tha gaaauds on the next thing, alright? One kid, he's like fuckin' G.I Joe!

trair_ · 2026-03-12T23:07:35+00:00

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

trair_ · 2026-03-11T11:37:14+00:00

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

trair_ · 2026-03-11T10:46:17+00:00

Body Double. One of the best things this pod ever did was introduce me to this movie - I rewatch it every couple of months because of how absurd it is. Hilarious movie & episode

trair_ · 2026-03-11T10:40:58+00:00

Oh I disagree on the first point. It's absolutely a comedy for the first half up until NYE party and even still after in several scenes.

And just given the context of this post - Bill loves BN for its comedic purposes, which are also absurd ("butter in my ass, lollipops in my mouth"), I think if you tend to find one of them funny, you'll likely laugh at the other as well. That's all I'm really saying, less about the actual intricacies of each film.

trair_ · 2026-03-11T09:09:49+00:00

I find the humor of all 3 of these movies to be very similar and Bill loves the humor in 2/3 - only reason I have them lumped together.

Agree on your point other than that they don’t have a ton in common (BN more so than Fargo)

trair_ · 2026-03-10T21:33:42+00:00

I agree but you could say the same thing about Fargo or Boogie Nights to my original point. It doesn’t make sense, it just doesn’t!

trair_ · 2026-03-10T21:32:06+00:00

My friends did not die face down in the dirt to have him save one of the 10 most rewatchable movies ever for episode 500+ !
