Leo
When you guys were talking about Leo’s best movies how did you forget to mention this boys life which could be one of the strongest performances by anyone at that age, ever

Loved Superbad pod!
I just listened to the Superbad episode and loved it. One of the picky nits was that none of the kids had an older sibling to buy beer. At one point, though, Becca tells Evan that she was going to beg her older sister to buy it for her. You guys also said you are running out of movies. How about Alien and Aliens? They are both very rewatchable and Aliens has to be Michael Biehn’s apex mountain.

Finally
First good movie choice since Rain Man. All choices in September were bad. Mystic River is needed, loaded cast and director. Perfect for this podcast.

Departed
I always felt bad for not loving this movie. Boston Irish stuff might be the most nauseating subject covered in movies. I grew up a huge Cheers fan and loved Good Will Hunting but enough Boston anything. Just a bunch of fake, democratic , racists. Scorsese kind of lost his fastball when he partnered up with Leo (except for Shutter Island) .

Lots of laughs and nostalgia
GenXer reporting in, Have been listening since the beginning and would highly recommend. If you’re into sports, culture and classic and some quirky movies from the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s and beyond, then you will love this pod. Along with ofc Bill, some of the other co-hosts I truly enjoy are Ryen Rusillo, Van Lathan, Sean Fennessey, Chris Ryan & Amanda Dobbins. They all have hilarious and interesting tales and insights on some great films. Among the best episodes I can recall are Top Gun, Victory, The Town, Jaws & Heat. I only have one complaint: they haven’t covered the greatest basketball movie of all time yet...The HOOSIERS pod is way overdue!

Lost/last man
Bill Simmons is a middle aged Boston sports dude and the podcast I started to listen to about Miami Vice opened with him publicly flogging himself about not knowing the name of a Disney-Marvel movie bc it was an Asian American thing. Dude, face your life. How do you look people in the eye?

Gotta do more research
Simmons went on an absolute tangent about how the JJ Riley character in “Warrior” should've been played by a bigger actor (like Stanley Tucci) but didn’t seem to realize that the role was in fact played by the writer/director Gavin O’Connor. You’re better than that Bill, well maybe not, but Russillo definitely is. With that being said, thoroughly enjoyed the pod.

Need these movies.
Love the pod but need National Treasure. The Replacements and Gone in 60 and Dumb and Dumber. These movies are on every weekend. Need them!

Crockett’s White Ferrari
I’m watching Miami Vice from start to finish and the day I listened to the Calderone’s Return Rewatchables, Crockett’s black Ferrari got blown up by an arms dealer! It happens in the first episode of the third season. Castillo gives him the white Ferrari in the second episode after a mini tantrum about having to drive an old truck to drug deals. Do the whole season rewatch!Great pod btw.

its not great
think of this as the dumb guy’s movie/tv podcast.

Movie choices becoming questionable
Lots of dumb niche movies that no one has heard of. Please do more crowd pleasers like fight club or raiders. No Victory or Hardball

Jeopardy guy
Just read that The Ringer had someone listen to a bunch of podcasts that the fired Jeopardy host did years ago and pick out little things to expose him. Wow. Wow. That’s pathetic. Out of principle, I gotta leave this podcast. I’ve heard more “bad” things come out of Simmons mouth over the years that would be considered fireable offenses these days. Context and comedy, people. Trash.

Great Pod
This is an excellent Podcast. For anyone who loves movies and loves rewatching movies this POD is excellent. You feel like your watching a movie with your friends. Love the movies rewatched. Would love to see you guys do, Slapshot with Paul Newman, Miracle with Kurt Russell, North Dallas Forty with Nick Nolte and Oxford Blues with Rob Lowe. All would fit in with your vibe. Thank you

Disappointing lack of diversity
This is such a fun concept. But in reality I really only find it listenable when a woman joins the panel…and apparently women are only allowed to talk about rom-coms? Gross. I’m done with this one.

Waste of time
Desperately trying to be politically correct. Stop pretending like you care. Also, Van is openly prejudice against other races. He’s also not funny and ruins the pod.👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Sultans of Swing released in 1978
I like listening to these guys talk about movies, but sometimes they don’t bother to google things. In the Argo podcast they claimed Sultans of Swing was an anachronism. My pedantic self had to point out it was released a year before the events of the movie.

My Favorite Podcast
Although many of their picks are head scratchers (The Bodyguard? POINT BREAK?????) I love listening to these guys. The behind the screens stuff is fascinating if you’re a movie person and they’re really funny. Great show, guys.
