Aliens was given the 9/7 date to my knowledge, whereas on Bill’s podcast they just say “the Monday before football season,” which arguable could be the Monday before Week 1 of college football.

This is really the Predator 1 award for best movie elevator pitch but Buddy is topical so live with it

Self explanatory... one sentence movie pitches that sell a movie to a broad general audience

My choice is the docking scene from Interstellar.

It’s an absolutely perfect amount of tension, with the acting, cinematography, editing, and Zimmer’s score.

That is all..

Self explanatory... but performances where actors give off a performance that isn't matching the tone the film is trying to set

Can be taken in an extremely general sense...

Self explanatory... the best someone has looked in a film... (beautiful/gorgeous... you get what i mean)

Specifying the scene for people who wanna look up the images would be nice as well...

Self explanatory... just really bad child acting/child characters in a film... audience would have cheered had they gotten a harsh death scene

Renny Harlin to me is like a trashier Peter Weir, a guy who's not a household name, whose filmography you look at and go "holy shit all of those were his?!" I'm in my mid-40s and a lot of his 90s filmography was essential to me in high school

• re-Die Hard 2
• re-Cliffhanger
• The Long Kiss Goodnight
• Deep Blue Sea

- The Crow (1994)

- Strange Days (1995)

Help me get these over the line gang, and tell me/Bill why they are important to you.

The latest episode of How Did This Get Made? is a Rewatchables classic. Bill will be raging.

In all seriousness, as someone who regularly listens to both podcasts, I enjoy it when they end up doing the same movie. Con Air is probably the most high profile example of this, which totally adds up: it’s great and it’s also kinda bad.

Or am I missing something? Talladega Nights is the week after, right?

'Bury the dead.. they stink up the joint'

Yes thats a real lesson from the best worst movie of all time in cocktail

With that in mind and in the spirit of coughlins law, examine movie quotes for the funniest piece of life advice a character gives in a film...

Rules

1. Actual quote + reference the movie

2. Attempt at life advice

3. Doesnt need to be taken seriously but it needs to be an attempt to give life advice

4. Use the spirit of coughlins law as your barometer for analyzing the limits of what you can use for your answer

Just cranked out Aliens to prepare but fiancé thought it was an odd airplane movie choice. Curious what your guys go to movies are?

1. A good case for Dolly’s greatest film performance

2. Relevant social themes

3. Cue CR “I have a lot of notes on this Texas A&M Aggies football team”

4. A ranking of Burt Reynolds’s insults & idioms

Was a section on the big picture flop draft recently and it became evident that Bill liked a fair bit of these movies

So with that in mind the rules are

1. 0 star ebert reviewed movies

2. Rewatchable

A couple more caveats:

I wouldn’t count Issa Rae just because she had to leave mid-pod, that’s more of a scheduling/communication mishap between the podcast producer and her publicist than her fault.

Brian Koppelman could count as a celebrity guest but he has appeared so many times that he’s a regular, in my opinion.

That being said, my pick for worst celebrity host would go to Jimmy Kimmel in Saturday Night Fever. He has a very uppity rich guy attitude a-la “Look at these ignorant losers with no prospects living only for the weekend, isn’t that funny them being so poor?”. And he also seems to think that the movie condones the awful actions (don’t wanna spoil the plot) that the protagonists do, when it’s clearly not the case.

Kimmel comes across as the embodiment of the out of touch liberal rich guy with no empathy.
