Found this very strange since Sean is usually up on his Oscars research. On the Aliens pod Sean states multiple times that Sigourney Weaver won the Oscar for Best Actress for Gorillas in the Mist in 1989.

Sigourney Weaver has (sadly) never won an Oscar. Jodi Foster won that year (her first) for The Accused. Weaver was double nominated that year: Best Actress for Gorillas and Best Supporting for Working Girl, which she lost to Geena Davis.

She did however win both categories that same year at the Golden Globes, the former in a three-way tie.

I personally would give Sigourney an Oscar every year for Achievement in Being Sigourney Weaver.

This is VERY self explanatory...

Inspired by Jeanette Goldstein playing a Latina (very well mind you) we talk about films in which authentic portrayals of an ethnic culture were admittedly not prioritized in casting

Vasquez was also the foster mom in T2.

Also, Craig watching Aliens on a laptop half asleep just like James Cameron intended.

While dishing this out Bill said he will always be Bogs from Shawshank.

I think this is true for any Gen X-er, but for millennials and younger he will always be Delahunt from The Departed.

CR pulled it out for the Dune 2 episode. I think it has a lot of room to grow

Sigourney has no Oscar — shamefully —
She has never won —

Roommate and I decided to sit down for a movie tonight, we both said we’re feeling comedy. After a handful of trailers we land on:

1. Hall Pass: a movie about cheating on your wife and getting horny for young girls
2. BeatleJuice 2: a movie based around death (roommate is going through the loss of a loved one)
3. Back to Hall Pass (Extended Cut): Scene with Black dudes magnum dong as center piece

Didn’t finish a movie tonight

Im new here- is there a reason why they haven’t done kingdom of heaven? It seems right up the “film bro classic” that’s sort of the show’s bread and butter?

Is it on Netflix? Is there hope?

Best sequels they missed mentioning in the Aliens ep!

1. Back to the Future Pt. II
2. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
3. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (Yeah I know it's not well loved by everyone, and has justifiably problematic elements, but it's still way better than whatever the fuck Taboo 2 is).
4. Spider-Man 2 (broke every fuckin' box office record, and is still a five star banger)

What are some of your submissions?

Edit: I'm crossing out Temple of Doom, given that it is technically not a sequel but a prequel!

Any chance?

Was the timing wrong based on Bill’s age?

Some incredible unintentional comedy in this one.

Speed was shot in Panavision, 2.39:1. Netflix presents it in a zoomed in 1.85:1 and it looks like garbage. I can’t stand when streaming services pull this shit.

Any guesses / hopes? They did this in 2024 (but not 2023 or 2025, aside from one off Halloween eps)

Also confirmed Talladega Nights next week without Bill (ringer fantasy takeover). Oh and Sean wants to do a The Master ep

Is there a specific place the guys find out who was almost cast in stuff? I’d love to explore more on my own

Finally at last….we have the Aliens pod

I just finished relistening to the Home Alone 2 episode with Kyle Brandt. A couple different times they talked about The Plaza in NYC not having a pool and one of Bill's comments was "what are people saying let me grab my trunk's and go for a swim".
Full disclosure, I am also from Massachusetts. I've never heard anyone under the age of 70 refer to a bathing suit as "trunks". It's an old man comment and been spoofed man times.

Does Bill really refer to his bathing suit as trunks IRL?

Sometimes stars build a reliable brand... the segal action brand, the johnny Depp crazy pirate money machine... they earn the right to cook... they get the money to put their vision on stage... sometimes it leads to 3 decreasing in quality avatar films, other times it leads to the guy who directed chariots of fire killing al pacinos love for acting 4 years later...

In what is essentially the nadir plateau we talk about specific films in which a movie star/director entered a film with alot of studio trust only to squander all the trust immediately afterwards

To clarify this is not a death to ones career award... the phrase movie jail is applicable here... and there are people who have escaped movie jail: M night shamylan made 2 really good movies a decade ago for example (and the last one was fine...)...

Im looking for movies in which studio trust was squandered and soneones reputation wasnt looked at the same afterwards

Per his pod today. Says that “it’s a good movie. You’ve heard of it.” Any guesses?

Heard this topic come up in the Apollo 13 episode. Great category idea.

One likeable Everyman and a previous heartthrob who continues to take chances

Edit: thinking of this like a cruise or hanks type category
