Two classic Rewatchables moments on this pod (31:09, 49:44).
RIP Van's Dad and Bill's marriage.
Well done, sir.
You’re the real MVP.
Bill will sleep on a couch alone for some time.
The paused look between Van and CR when Bill tells the story about his wife is fucking hilarious
I'M A FAN OF MAN
I'M A FANTAMAN
I’m a FANNAMAN
I always love when Van's on the Rewatchables 😂
Trolling or r u being serious?
Love Van
Is he the black guy that pretended to be offended by Ye? Effeminate ass dude.
@@danieltougher1557I love Van now. I didn’t like him at first but then I think he’s gotten a lot better at interrupting people. The dude has crazy ADD but he’s been on meds and has been better
Keanu Reeves' character isn't dumb, he is a narcissist. So consumed by self that he misses everything
"Look but don't touch. Touch but don't taste. Taste but don't swallow. While you're jumping from one foot to the other, 'god' is laughing his arse off!"
Pacino was smashing it during court, ha!
you are missing the commas, which are needed for the punchines of the delivery in that scene
The ending was for the devil to trick Keanu’s character, purposely getting him to look in one direction and then he doesn’t see the devil coming from another angle, but it’s still his favorite sin: vanity.
I love Bill selling Chris Ryan's Pacino imitation.
Pacino’s teeth in DA has to be a character choice. He’s supposed to look like a shark. That’s what the devil is.
Pacino in rare form 👌🏾🤌🏾
Is he? He's great and over the top. Sounds like every Pacino performance since the late 70"s.
@@MrOctober44 we must have different definitions of over the top then
"No, Roy. You forgot... To duck." against Tarver.
Wayne Jenkins 1:29:32
Gods work
Appreciated.
Feeling Minnesota is really good.
The Exorcist is terrifying but at least Father Karron sacrifices himself to save Regan. The Omen is nothing but horrific things .
I had no idea Pacino was the devil when I started watching the movie, or that the devil/religious themes would be a direct part of the story. Maybe that's why I liked the movie so much relative to others apparently, I think the story just unfolded as intended for me.
😮😮😮
Seriously???
you're like kramer thinking damian from the omen was just a rambunctious kid
I did know right away but still enjoyed it
It’s ruined by the whining and complaining of the character of Charlize Theron
How do we make every movie better apparently? Change main characters with black woman. And also the nameless black janitor with no lines , we should’ve delved into his back story a little deeper
I saw this in the theater..when Al Pacino hugged and was excited to see Don King at the fight got a huge laugh from the crowd! Like of course Don King is a personal friend of Satan..lol
Disappointed that van didn’t bring up Clarence Williams portrayal as satan in tales from the hood
Loving the video version of the pods lmaooo
Viggo Mortensen in The Prophesy is the best Satan in film history. Peter Stormare in Constantine rules too
Bill is so insistent that he’s from Boston…dude is from Greenwich ct….A NY suburb
Wayne take: Give Wayne a three episode break...then bring him back big time when we least expect him
Bill's not wrong. I lived in NY. Nice place to visit. Don't live there unless you make mad bank.
Gotta say, in the theater, that painting moving at the end was pretty cool
Right. I was so high.
Want to vote for another rewatchable: Poltergeist.
A prestige all black gender swap should forever be known as pulling a “High Fidelity”.
This movie is a cult classic 😮
This was an iconic episode lmfao
Thank you Bill beast of an episode… getting through working by myself during the freeze
After watching this….I want to hear you guys talk about 1999 End of Days with Arnold
34:10 -- Apparently Meryl Streep learned Polish and German for Sophie's Choice, so she could speak German with the proper accent. that's some crazy, crazy shit
dino de laurentis doesn't care
This was the special ed version of rewatchables
LOOK…but don’t touch…..TOUCH…but don’t taste…..TASTE…but don’t eat
How about Angel Heart as a Rewatchable?? Louis Cifer vs John Milton.
Chris Bauer is great in The Deuce
25:28. . .hilarious
HUGE fan of “Devils Advocate” but the only thing that would have made this movie any better would be if they had cast Mathew McConaughey instead of place of Keanu Reeves. I hate an actor that tried to do a southern accent. McConaughey would have given Pacino a run for his money
How is Sean not on this episode!?
I still think Keanu Reeve's best performance is in A Scanner Darkly, but no one ever talks about this film.
You guys totally missed Al Pacinos Devilish Pinky nail 💅
The movie that displayed the concept of Hell in the most terrifying manner for me was Event Horizon. That movie has me convinced Hell was real
i have seen hell and it is called The View
1:32:55 this is a book called good omens
I was just thinking that. Now even a tv show.
One thing i dont understand is the doesnt hold up thing when it comes to effects hold up to what the crap they make today over cgi green screen garbage is what dont hold up
I don't know, there are some parts I'm glad were Keanu: Speed, Point Break and Constantine for sure
This was Charlize Theron's peak physically 👱🏻♀️🥰
Yes she acted so well in this movie
@@dianalord5825 So sexy too 🔥🔥
Call me crazy but I found Connie Neilson hotter in this movie
When would you say is her peak emotionally? or spiritually?
@@ryanaromero Probably when she did Monster Ball
Vanity is definitely my favorite sin... reason why Satan been thriving since social me me media was invented
Are their analytics that show he's been thriving?
@@MrOctober44 Do you not live on this Earth?
@@nrgmanifest lol
I think that the twist isn't as obvious as you made it seem, thinking that someone is literally Satan and that people who work for his firm are actual demons is not a jump that viewers or Reeves' character will take unless the movie explicitly tells them so. At least I didn't see it coming the first time watching and didn't think it was obvious in the re-watch either, I thought it was just a metaphor and those things weren't really happening.
this is Pacino doing all the Pacino-isms, it's great
Van invoking the name of Danny Wuerffel in a discussion of the Devil 🙌🏼
bill acting like a walk in the clouds was a miss is an L take. not only was it enjoyable it made 91m against a 20m budget
Van’s Apex Mountain haha
They brought back the rewatchables?????🎉
Brilliant. Loved this ep.
The devil on film : Constantine and end of days great betrayals of the devil
i literally just watched this the other day lmao
I am shocked that our of all 3 of these guys.. especially Van..there was a book & a movie n the 1970's called the advocate based on true story of a lawyer regretting defending a child molester & he's from down south..this movie devil's advocate is based solely around that book..when this video ends on what would b a better title clearly shows none of these 3 guys are aware of this essential "fact"- AMAZING..these guys know nothing about which they r talking about .even the name Lomax is from that book
Only knew Van from TMZ, he's great. Funny and well thought
Still listening to this pod since it came out, and now enjoying it even more seeing it 25:20. Van, you're awesome.
Love this trio
1:32:49 is Van describing Good Omens and not realizing it.
A good depicting of how Satan works in enticing mankind to sin. That is his assignment by god. Testament of Job explains more in detail.
Satan test everyone. No exceptions. Their is a way to win. Job made Satan cry.
The most accurate source for info the Devil is the Bible. Apocrypha ( 14 books ). Book of Enoch tells you where demons originated. In Enoch the name Azazel ( which is one of Satans names. He has many names ) is used in Denzel movie Fallen ( referencing The Devil as a fallen Angel ).
They need to take Wayne Jenkins out as an option. He wins every time.
god damn!
Heather Matarazzo is great in that opening court scene
Tim Curry played the best devil.
Eyes Wide Shut.
Van Lathan says a lot of nothing (I'm a black man btw, this isn't hate)
i checked out on him when he went down the "everything is racist" path.
No hate.just stating facts.hes the worst
@@Reedjohnmiller Good for both of you
The Mourning Bar
Keanu Reeves being a top 7 movie star of the last 35 years is an unbelievable stretch
Barely top 100 on acting skills, he's actually terrible in some movies
@@Hoolygan4ever just off the top of my head I can name 20 guys of the 21st century who are undeniably better movie stars than Keanu.
keanu is the american version of arnold schwarzenegger. the more talking he does the worse the movie becomes
"xxx is top something in the last xxx years" is just a rewatchables gimmick Bill and Sean use a bit too often.
this isn't a talent ranking, it's an appeal rating. he has wide appeal
although Chain Reaction was my first look at Rachel Weisz.
yes
1:29:10
Robert Ridgely asBarzoon and Skerritt as Cullen would have been fantastic choices.
Pacino is the only good thing in that Jack and Jill movie; it's a stinker
Show me a quote before trump was running for prez where anyone says anything negative about his connection with this movie. And Hollywood types saying someone is a creep and lives in a pretentious apartment is where I really roll my eyes. Thank God he did that interview on marc maron and that Bill brought it up on this show or else no one would know he was early on hating trump. Even before the rappers started hating him.
Trump was beloved by rapper till 2015 lol you can find soo many songs not speaking I'll of him. Just like all the talk shows used to love him
They are so afraid of getting cancelled they have to be fake outraged whenever they speak of Trump. Look what they did to Jimmy Fallon for running his hand through Trump’s hair as he was forced to apologize to the left. Trump was beloved by Hollywood before he ran for President. Even Joy Reid’s old blogs during the mid 00’s has quotes on how much she loved him on The Apprentice. Lol
@@mavssami41 he didn't change but they did. they're all studio gangsters.
Can't go without mentioning the ending and how chilling it was, with Paint It Black playing and Pacino laughing
was a great moment, in the theater
