Eight god damn whiskey sours?? You couldn’t stop at three or four, you had to have EIGHT!!??
That Hippie that had the monologue about "killing the people who taught us how to kill" won the Dion Waiters award for me. She was fantastic
It's obvious Tarantino loved her overacting thats why that take stood in the movie lol
That Nowitzky getting a title parallel is perfect for Brad's performance here.
But Bill has never figured out how to pronounce his name. Damned Irishman.
hands down the most rewatchable film of 2019.
That would be Parasite for me.
Joker
Alongside Uncut Gems and Parasite
these three is one golden trio
Nah Sean is garbage
You could say this is Leo’s greatest performance for like 8 of his movies. That just shows how consistently amazing he’s been for the past 20 years. My personal favorite is The Aviator. Dude delved so deep into Howard Hughes
Jake Lineman Agreed. I rewatched that and Catch Me If You Can for the first time since they were in theaters. I underestimated how great he was in both because he wasnt on my radar at the time to become “Leo”
Wolf of Wall Street has been his best performance.
I don’t know if it’s my favorite but I think the aviator is his most underrated movie. It’s never talked about anymore but it’s fantastic and really doesn’t lose any steam over 3 hours. Plus Blanchett might be even better than Leo in it
Hes the tim duncan of acting
IMO Wolf1 Hollywood2 is pretty undisputed. You could probably say Django but it’s a supporting role
Signature Leo role of last 8 years? Wolf of Wall Street
I was screaming this at my laptop too. Thank you. Plus magnolia obvy about the tom cruise part. These guys were on one that night.
Adam Price very true between that and the departed those are is two most unique roles by far but I just didn’t say Calvin because he wasn’t in enough of it but yeah that’s his best performance ever if I could give him a Oscar for just one it’d be Calvin candie
I don’t even know if there’s a signature role...there’s just years of consistency. For me his best role is Hugh glass. Wolf is his most over the top performance and he def should’ve won that Oscar
Anyone else not really into wolf? Great performance but…
I’m going with Django Unchained.
Leo should’ve won the Oscar. He’s playing an actor, playing various roles, displaying every emotion dialled up to 12, plus he’s insecure as hell. I didn’t see a single performance that year to match it tbh
Absolutely, he was completely underrated
You’re probably right but Joaquin was overdue for an Oscar & Leo already had his
I liked that they roasted Bill's takes numerous times on this one, I love Bill, he just gets carried away sometimes and Sean and Chris were like: dude, what?
love the way Sean and Chris play off each other in most of the ones they're both on together.
Simmons is great at pop culture in the same way he is great at basketball details, but some of his movie takes are downright awful.
I think the role what we remember Leo in 5 years time will be Wolf of Wall Street. There is so much rewatchable stuff in that one. It keeps up. Brad on the other hand is the one id concur. This was his best role in years.
Matthew stole the Oscar from Leo
Wasn’t Pitt in the tree of life? His best imo.
@@Garrett1240 I guess you missed 12 monkeys!
The Basketball Diaries
Wasn't sure what a Rewatchables would be like with a live audience but this was the most fun I've had watching one yet, it's clear you guys were having a great time
Cliff's dog Brandy deserves an Oscar 🇺🇸 💙
She won the Palm Dog award at Cannes!
I've been saying this was the best Leo performance ever to all my friends and now I feel validated
How the hell does Julia Butters not win the Dion Waiters award?
The Hippie with the "kill the people who taught us to kill" monologue should've won
Because Simmons has zero taste.
True
Cliffs footwear in that movie should get 4 Oscars eaaaasy
They forgot about Tom Cruise as Frank TJ Mackey in Magnolia....deep performance
Also Tom Cruise as Vincent in Collateral. He has a great acting range
I disagree with the reading of the Bruce Lee part. The bystanders didn’t disappear. Once Bruce got thrown into the car the only guy on screen runs off and it seemed obvious that everyone scattered like cochroaches so they aren’t implicated once the boss shows up and sees her car destroyed. I didn’t read this as a dilution at all and upon rewatching I don’t see how you can.
That definitely aged the worst
@@MarcFritzer how so?
@@johnmorris8444 The guy doesn't run off he goes to the phone even more reason for everyone to scatter he calls Randy
yeah that was a weird take for sure. it def wasn’t cliff exagerating and then letting the audience know we can’t trust him… what a stretch lol
The trailer freakout is in my opinion Leo's best performance ever.
Bearded Jagger id prob still lean towards Django or Wolf of Wall Street but he is def great in this
@@ZR38315 Those are the other two in my mind as well. He plays big characters really well. Subtle real characters? Not so much.
That is pretty awesome. I like when he says fuck it, and takes a drink, then immediately gets mad at himself.
I go skull scene django
@@roycema That's a good'un. Although the trailer scene feels a little more grounded in reality to me. The skull scene is pure entertainment. Nothing wrong with that, but I see subtleties in the trailer scene that I just marvel at.
I left with like 3 new songs I dint know I liked. He does that every time.
Ocen upon a time was a absolute blast. Second best movie by Tarantino after Pulp, and top 10 all time favs of mine.
I totally agree. Good post.
The best quote has to be: "Don't forget. You're Rick Fucking Dalton."
He’s insane if he doesn’t think the revenant want good. Leo was amazing in that movie.
Best of the year. Best performances ever for Pitt and Leo.
Dumb.
Tom Cruise as a Star Fleet Captain in a Tarantino Original Star Trek script
Really wish this wasn’t done in front of an audience, it’s not the same and this was an epic movie
Everyone disappeared in the Bruce/Cliff fight right after Cliff throws Bruce into Zoe Bell's car, you can see reflections of them taking off like "Holy shit, that's boss lady's car", so it may not be so much some aspect of Cliff's reimagining as much as self-preserved response of the crew watching
Yes. My take is that for sure it all happened like that and when looking back at it, Cliff realized he messed up and deserved to get fired. Him being able to take on Bruce Lee without any fear shows his character throughout the movie.
These goofballs missed it, cos they're the exact pussies that would run'n hide when shit like that happens. Must be a coping mechanism to seeing their own pussy behaviour represented on the big screen 🤣
Cliff is Tarantino's most dangerous character. An absolute killing machine.
Cruise was in tropic thunder .. best bit part
Did you guys forget Leo's in Django?
Yeah he's awesome in that
Brad Pitt's best performance was in Legends of the Fall or Se7en
Leo was absolutely hysterical in this
I hope one of you reads this, but Tarantino came out and said that the Bruce lee fight scene absolutely did happen in his story and was not made up by cliff. Seemed like kind of a stretch/reach when you guys mentioned it so I had to look it up
YES and YES.....first time I watched it Brad Pitts performance stood out more but then as i kept watching that film, over and over and over again I would laugh in amazement over what Decaprio was doing....he was the dude playing a dude disguised as another dude and that third act rant was so funny
At one point he was a dude pretending to be a dude, watching his fake dude pretending to be a dude on tv. If that makes sense.
I'm surprised that they haven't done a rewatchables for Vanilla Sky. The guys have good taste and that role for Cruise, is to me his best performance. Very underrated film and Cruise and Crowe are a good duo.
Justin Brown Fennessey and Ryan have good taste. Bill - very clearly - does not.
best performance for me is magnolia by far
Great performance but the movie is not rewatchable.
Vanilla Sky vs original Abre Los Ojos... Vanilla Sky is trash...
@@twpence100%
See this is why Bill is my dawg. I felt like I was the only one in the world who remembered Wiig n will doing that movie and he brings it up. The man
Leo did a great job. So did Brad Pitt.
I think QT shut down the cancellers with his short eloquent response to that retweet seeker at Cannes.
Exactly
link? id love to see this
He told a woman who insisted that Margot Robbie didn't have enough dialogue that he "disagreed with her premise".
@@blakeharris58 "Well I just reject your hypothesis." Link above.
@@zyrrhos ah ya got me. I was close.
The Wolf of Wall Street is his best performance. But Aviator and Hollywood he's also incredible in
What an incredible Linda Partridge impression
Brad's best for me will forever be in Snatch. He's a minor character but he was captivating in that role.
Leo's is the Departed.
Bill Simmons getting the Boogie Nights house and then doing that episode in that house with the crew is like his version of Gary Vaynerchuk talking about buying the NY Jets lol
The Revenant isn't good? LMAO Good lord.
Can't believe they are complimenting Brad's "acting" in this film. It's probably the least he's acted in his career. Like they said, he's now just a chill guy in real life. Cliff Booth is just 60s Rusty from Ocean's. Non-emotional, just going with the flow. Compare Cliff to 12 Monkeys, Snatch, Interview with the Vampire, Burn After Reading, Benjamin Button
Good point, he's awesome to watch but he's just George Clooneying his way through the film..
to me...YES.
his performances in Django Unchained and The Wolf of Wall Street tie in second place.
Why is Chris giving Sean shit about working out with Leo so damn funny?
I along with Bill didn’t realize that was Lena Dunham either.
My skin did.
Neither did I.
The disrespect to Tom Cruise is unreal.
His last movie "Fallout" is his most successful best reviewed film in his 40 year old career & yet these dorks aren't giving him any respect.
It’s a MI movie that hardly qualifies as a masterpiece. Of course it’s going to be successful, it’s a major franchise.
@@niklaszillig7282 Yeah but it's a 'major franchise' because of him. Like there is no Kevin Feige pulling strings from behind, making all the creative decision. But the MI movies revolve around cruise. if these movies flopped every blame would be on Cruise so if they succeed every accolades should for Cruise as well. You can call it an IP its just that he IS the IP.
I think you're confused. They weren't disrespecting Cruise.
Listen again
Leonardo DiCaprio is fantastic in this movie, I think he is better than Pitt here. Rick Dalton feels like a real actor you could have seen on the Dick Cavett show. I’d watch his interviews on talks shows like I go back and watch Orson Welles interviews.
One of my favorite lines was Julia Butters as Trudy saying to Rick "I don't like names like pumpkin puss, but since you're upset, we'll talk about that some other time."
"Whats DiCaprio's most memorable role in the last few years. Blood diamond?" Has thus dude not been to a movie theater since 2006??.. 🤦😂
I think these boys should revisit this movie. Might’ve been because of the live audience, but this felt more improvised than most of their deep dives. Good stuff though,
Yeah I remember Leo as jordan from wolf of wall street ... and Pitt as Achilles
I like the Slapshot mention. Paul Newman as coach/player Reg Dunlop is one of his best roles!
Jimmy Jammy Absolutely should have won for the Verdict! Robbed him so gave it to him for Color of Money
Still funny. The fashion show 😂
I’m so fucking happy that this happened
I agree with Bill, Focus was amazing. It's crazy to me that no one else but me and Bill seem to like that movie 😂
Just as an aside, you cannot smoke LSD. Cliff is either smoking DMT or more likely based on his demeanor PCP.
Chris Ryan is simply the best.
Of the three on here, he's by far the best one to go to for movie takes. Fennessey is unlistenable, and Bill's act is old now.
Disagree. Ryan sucks.
I think the best alternative casting would have been Gosling as Rick and McConaughey as Cliff.
"Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show" is one of Neil Diamond's signature songs. Bill has some bad takes.
brewer921 dude constantly displays high levels of ignorance with such confidence. It’s kind of embarrassing.
Loved this but have one nitpick: the spectators don’t disappear as a plot device, they can be seen in other parts of the fight, and leaving near the end. They likely were there but leave because their boss shows up and they don’t want to get in trouble. I’m not saying Cliff’s recollection is all true and accurate, but it makes me believe the incident did happen in some form.
They should change the name of this show to Recency Bias. Can't believe the fawning over this movie like Pitt and DiCaprio did nothing before it.
The Nice Guys as Rick and Cliff
Sean you know damn well Johnny Depp shouldn't be cancelled.
MrGMovieReviews has there been a cancel reversal between Depp and Amber Heard? like UNO?
@@michaelcummings8763 actually yes lol
I feel like he’s immune to it every time something comes up about him he dips for a second then will pop out with another decent performance
@@jakegraham3758 he was incredible in Black Mass
The Aviator is Leo’s best performance.
There needs to be some epic ensemble film with DiCaprio, Pitt, Bale, McConaughey and Phoenix. I'd go Fincher or Thomas Anderson as director.
It would need to be a horror/thriller. Fincher directing.
We just need QT to show up on this and we've got a full blown case of epicness! The homey Chris Ryan is really getting some mileage out of that Penfield beanie... step up your game CR and diversify your shit! toss in a sick Supreme beanie or maybe even some Aimé Leon Dore! Level up!
I don't understand why he wears that. Is he OK?
Movies he could have won an oscar for ...
Wolf Of Wall Street
Whats Eating Gilbert Grape?
The Departed
Catch Me If You Can
Like clockwork, Bill has at least one absolutely inane take and the others have to act like it’s a valid one.
Damn Sean was throwing heat this episode. Was he drinking?
Captions say Shawn Fantasy and I really think he should go with it
World class performance by Sean
I just noticed Sean’s flex about The Revenant not being good. Kick. Rocks. That movie was great. It wasn’t Leo’s best, but overall it was excellent.
I can't trust anyone who wears a beanie indoors
as a fellow bald man....I get it. Not a matter of trustworthiness.
Oy vey!
Django's Leo's best performance. This is brad's best performance.
The Wolf of Wall Street
The Aviator
Leo's top 2 performances still
Can rank them one or the either
Hammad Asif he’s pretty great in the departed...... basically he’s untouchable when working with Scorsese
The Aviator followed by What's eating Gilbert Grape and Revolutionary Road (underrated)
Why are they so down on Cliff , that he’s a bad guy or a “shithead”? I’d classify him as a good guy. Has a job helping his friend and doesn’t complain once regardless of what is asked of him. Offers a ride to a hitchhiker and turns down her advances. Looks out for an old man being taken advantage of. Takes good care of his dog, kills a bunch of homicidal maniacs. Never loses his cool. Only thing against him is some gossip about his wife.
I mean it does really seem like he killed his wife
@@ZR38315 yea, probably did. Even in his own memories it looks like the case but it’s still heresay. Complicated character but I still consider him the good guy.
@@ZR38315 In the book he accidentally pulled the trigger on the spear gun, and was really upset after and brought her to the hospital, but it was too late to save her.
Wolf of Wall Street and Focus were two years apart. Can I interest you in some Apple stock?
I'm gonna say Leo will do Bounty Law if Tarentino really gets the opportunity to do this.
Yes that’s Leo’s best and Tom cruise has had very iconic roles. His best was magnolia, born on the 4th was great, interview with the camp, few good men, guys great!
There is a plot in Smokey and the Bandit. Bootlegging Coors across state lines.
Damien Lewis was playing Michael Madsen
Mad that the Drive In set is a model. I love QT
Pitt is so awesome in the early scene with Rick Dalton crying. His acting when its not his turn to speak his lines is great.
I agree with Sean! It's the perfect what if movie! That's the first time, the three of you split your decision about who won the movie. I agree with Chris! Leo won the movie! I don't think of Leo and Brad's characters as bad guys. But they're definitely not good guys. They're somewhere in between. Margot Robbie's Sharon Tate is/was the goodness of Hollywood.
here on november 16, 2021, and that elvis movies TRAILER just came out
Drive in movie theaters definitely still exist lol
They always hate on The Artist lol. That was a great film.
NO WAY. It's The Aviator hands-down
no chance this should win best picture over parasite
ejs 1. 1917
2. Parasite
3. Jojo
Which of the two houses from Boogie Nights is Bill talking about buying? Jack's house or Alfred Molina's house?
Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg both using they’re best South Philly personas...and have them switch roles in the middle and see if anyone notices.
I hate how inconsistent (and random) how the podcasts / videos are. Like which ones will have a visual component and which will be audio only? I'd 100% support the TH-cam channel but it's a constant check for every podcast content.
We have heard so much of Bill making Sean uncomfortable about sexual situations in movies and finally, at 58:39 we see what it looks like. I am not disappointed.
Boogie Nights 30:00
You guys really overrate this movie
Yes. It’s not that great
This is a pretty unique film in Tarantino’s career - where most of his films are dialogue and monologue driven, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood isn’t. Quentin actually shut his big mouth on this one and delivered more of an image and mood piece.
If only it could've ended like that in real life...If only.
I preferred Leo in The Departed in 2006 over "Once Upon a Time...".
Nat T which character? The one with a Boston accent or the one without?
I HATE anyone older asking "do you even know what that is?" Lol I was born in the 80's but I've still heard every Beatles song. So, regardless of growing up in the 90's I'm very familiar with them, seen all Smokey and the Bandit movies even the god awful Jerry Reed "playing bandit " access to all media world wide BS 😉🤣 wasn't around for the Vietnam, but I've seen it in color and heard plenty of G.I's first and second hand accounts 👌 just a peeve for a history buff
Tom Cruise best dramatic role was easily...Jerry Maguire. "Show me the money!" was such a huge catch phrase.
The most rewatchable scene is easily the fight scene
