‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1197.19

And they all have other jobs, so it's like, yeah, I can do two days, or I can show up on Thursday night and play stone guy.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1204.039

Yeah, I like that era. Seth Green, you mentioned This is like one of the most late 90s things about this movie is the Seth Green character, because I must think five years later, it makes no sense. Five years earlier, it makes no sense. But this was like a type of person for five years here for maybe like three years.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1222.631

And he's really funny. So good. And I was ready to I went into it because I had seen a couple of years being like, ah, he probably didn't age that well. And I was like, no, he's actually really funny.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1248.382

I like Tupac for his yearbook quote. So good. He's got a love kit. Chorsmo's great. And then the soundtrack we've talked about. I'll just... Third Eye Blind.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1268.986

Some of these aren't on the soundtrack, but most of them are. Eve Six. G-Love. And then a bunch of stuff that's, like, a little bit nostalgic-y, like Tone Low, Bust a Move.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1281.2

Some of those, like Paradise City. Because it's been, like, eight to ten years since those songs hit, and they're kind of bringing them back. It's probably my favorite thing about the movie. And I don't even really love a lot of these songs, but it reminds me of 1998. Yeah, the, like...

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1309.322

Yeah, this movie knows, like, hey, we're... We're stealing. We're not stealing. We're homage borrowing.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1321.374

So Harry Alphonse said we should do a throwback to John Hughes. We talked a lot about saying anything specifically the party scene. And then we were like, what if that's the whole movie? And it was.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

134.577

here's why I was really intrigued when you want to do this. It's, it's kind of less about can't hardly wait, which I think has become like a pretty big cult movie over the last 20. I mean, we even wrote about it for the ringer once upon a time.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1351.118

It's funny, Say Anything probably did it better, that party, but it also only had to do everything in 20 minutes.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1385.788

I had that in What's Aged the Best because it's like frenetically edited in a good way. Yeah. Because that's what it's like to be at a party like that. We're just like, oh, this person. Oh, this person. Oh, this is happening. And it tries to hit that and it's doing like quick jump cuts. And it's not like the editing doesn't feel dated. No. I think they do a good job. I agree.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1405.647

It did get nominated for an award. An MTV Movie Award.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1410.685

Jennifer Love Hewitt, right there. That's another part of this whole era.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1415.109

It's the Carson Daly Show. It's the Movie Award. All this stuff, there was a pop culture feeling to all this crap.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1426.179

Oh, I'm sure they were plugging the shit out of it. By 2012, Entertainment Weekly did top 50 best high school movies of all time. Can't hardly wait. Number 44. Way too low. Yeah.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1436.408

I thought that was going to be like the teens.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

146.292

The late nineties is such an interesting movie time. And where it can hardly wait fits into that with just what was happening in Hollywood in general. And then the movie and what it was trying to do and how rewatchable it became when it wasn't. I don't think anyone thought, well, this is amazing when it came out. And then it just kind of kept going and going and going.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1490.935

This movie, $13 million budget, made $25 million.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1497.058

No. Well, I think part of the problem was it was a glut of movies like this. And it felt like they were coming out every week. Okay, Raj. Roger Ebert, one and a half stars.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1506.479

He says, there's one character in Can't Hardly Wait who is interesting and funny. Maybe it was a mistake to write her in. She makes the other characters look like nap-brained bozos. Her name is Denise. She's played by Lauren Ambrose, and she has a merry face, a biting tongue, and a sardonic angle on high school. And then just kind of continues to crap on the movie.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1529.333

All right. We are going to take a break and talk about Loom by Atlassian. What's the most frustrating thing that's happened to you since you've been in LA? Traffic?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1545.176

Is it just way worse than where you live?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1554.788

I hate traffic. I hate the way people drive out here. It constantly frustrates me. I can't get used to it. It's also really frustrating when you start feeling stuck at work with too many unnecessary meetings. Luckily, there's a simple solution for that. Use Loom video messaging. You and Mallory should use this.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1568.415

It can simultaneously record both your screen and yourself, share a quick update, provide feedback, train a colleague, everything in between. Plus, add Loom AI to your meetings. For instant written notes and recordings, try Loom today at loom.com. That is L-O-O-M dot com. Let's do most rewatchable scenes.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1591.759

So I wrote down a few that I thought, and then if I missed any, tell me. The four idiots trying to decide that they should dump their girlfriends when we meet the football captain and his dumbass friends. Yes. throwing that in. Um, Korsmo and the nerds setting up the attack on the house using a lot of Star Wars language. I don't know if you want to.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1616.134

Cool. Was that, did that all check all the boxes? Well, I'm not a Star Wars guy.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1633.503

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Um, Amanda's friends trying to make her feel better about Mike and Mike dumping her and comparing to Gwyneth Paltrow. She's not prettier than Gwyneth. I love that part. Um, Kenny over here in the, the cute girl saying she's hooking up with the next guy who talks to her because she's so upset. She, uh, got dumped.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1659.848

The letter flying around is really funny It falls out of the garbage Just the way they do that I enjoy watching that Rolls on the keg, stuck in someone's shoe Trip McNeely's one cameo Played by Jerry O'Connell You were a sexual icon I thought college was going to be A 24-7 orgy Guys like us are a dime a dozen We are a dime a dozen

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

166.57

And I'm not sure that happens anymore because I just think this is a Netflix series, though. I don't even think this movie would exist.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1696.187

And the burp is pretty impressive. Anyway, that part's fun.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1700.672

I'm throwing in Jason Segel's one scene just because it's Jason Segel and I couldn't believe he was in the movie and I forgot.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1712.622

The Mike Amanda showdown. I like the big showdown with everybody watching in a party, which would never happen in real life.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1721.647

Yeah, everybody's just like, what's happening? People are fighting.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1738.951

All the Kenny and Denise bathroom stuff. And then Mike's crew turning on Charlie Korsmo at the end. And Kenny and Denise seeing each other together. And then we find out that Charlie Korsmo's character became the next Mark Zuckerberg. Yeah, exactly. I think is. And nothing turned out well. What did I miss?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1795.027

Smash Mouth and Blink-182 I think have to be both mentioned.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1801.09

Had that as well. Trust no one, the truth is out there. This was a weird era for... People really latching onto the X-Files as like a personality.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1822.711

I love that one. Great. She's in Fiji right now.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1832.216

I had that as well. The only thing I had that you didn't mention other than Jennifer Love Hewitt, who just seems trapped in the mid-90s in a lot of ways, is Amanda Beckett's yearbook quote is, I'd rather see the world from another angle, which is from Jewel. Just having a yearbook quote from Jewel is the most late 90s thing possible. And it's perfect for her.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1875.771

Oh, sure. Yeah. Okay. I can't wait to get producer Craig's take at the end. I know. I'm so excited. I've never, never saw it. And I just honestly can't wait. What's aged the best? Denise Fleming, activities, none for her yearbook thing. It's like genuinely funny. And then Kenny playing JV basketball for one game.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1895.947

That really made me laugh. I have a bunch. What do you got?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

192.347

At all. So why do you love it? Does this just hit you at the perfect time in your life?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1946.468

Yeah, Breakfast Club has a scene where Anthony Michael Hall's character is like, what's going to happen on Monday? Are we going to be friends? And Molly Ringwald's like, I don't think so.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1961.612

Yeah. And she says to Emilio Estevez's character, like, come on, if he walked up to you, you just bust his butt, you know? Yeah. It's like, oh man, these people are just doomed. Yeah. There's a little, this is a little more hopeful of an era. I have a couple. Yeah. A high school called Huntington Hillside High.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

1986.378

So are they saying this is in the Palisades?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2021.526

But when he gets drunk that one time and he's like, I can't feel my legs. I have no legs. Also. It's so good. The beer's gone bad. Yeah, that's good too.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2032.39

The Fiji thing's funny. Seth Green saying, why y'all gotta waste my flavor, damn. Like, all his, like, flavor stuff was really funny.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2043.333

And then Paradise City is a nostalgic rock song. I had for what's aged the best. But just in general, high school movies age the best because they just capture whatever the decade is in this weird way.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2059.516

It's really good. Big Kahuna Burger Award, best use of food and drink.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

206.381

Yeah. But, I mean, Breakfast Club... Just one of the guys, Karate Kid, Secret of Byron, Can't Buy Me Love, Sixteen Candles. There was 20 of them. We had less channels back then.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2067.312

Which they had to PG-13. And there's, you just kind of have to know that it's a weed. You just know it's a weed brownie. Yeah, you just kind of know. You know, but you don't really know. Kid Cudi pursued happiness aware for best needle drop. There's a million choices here, but can I make the case for Dire Straits, Romeo and Juliet? Because that's a great song. It's a great one.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2087.988

Yeah, it's just really, it's really well dropped song.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2101.453

That sounds good. That was music that me and my friends all listened to in the 80s. Now I'm like, wow, I can't believe we listen to all that stuff. The Amanda Dobbins Award for coolest piece of real estate. New category.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2113.999

Yeah. I love it. Do it for Amanda.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2116.601

She hasn't been on the rewatchables in a while.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2127.535

Anyway, the Amanda Dobbins Award for coolest piece of real estate. New award. The house. The pool. The house is just a great high school party house. It even has like the staircase that goes both ways. And it's just, they did a good job. I have some sad news though. Like genuinely sad.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2145.487

It burned down in the Altadena fires. I was worried about that. Yeah, it's gone.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2152.032

Tough one. Yeah. The Chess Rockwell and Brock Landers Award for Best Character Name. It's got to be Trick McNeely, right?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2176.616

Wow, imagine telling your parents that. I landed this role. Wait, stay for the closing credits. I'm Ready to Have Sex Girl.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2182.719

Oh, you have a flex category. What do you got?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2226.693

That's a great category. I wonder who that should be named after. I got to really put some time and thought into this. Maybe the readers can help.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2234.339

There's a lot of movies that are just completely undermined with the cell phone.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2250.472

So sometimes they have to come up with... Well, if a payphone's involved, you know that they... The payphone has a device.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2263.502

That's a great one. Great category. All right, here we go. The Butcher's Girlfriend Award for Weak Link of the Film. My biggest issue with this film for 27 years is Ethan Embry. Yeah. And the character. I know. It's a controversial take.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2280.036

A lot of people get really upset about it.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2282.198

Let's fight about it. I just don't understand Preston at all. And I was doing the research. And he has this interview he did like 12 years ago where he said, at the time when we were shooting, I was the world's biggest stoner. Yeah. I remember the director came up to me and asked if I was altered. And he couldn't remember anything in the movie.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2297.128

And then there was this anecdote about how Jennifer LeVue gave him a teddy bear full of breath mints for their climactic kissing scene. Because everyone on the set knew he spent all of his time smoking pot in his trailer and she'd want to kiss like a pot mouth guy.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2312.16

And so I watched it the second time after I did the research and I was like, that totally makes sense with how he's playing this character. Yeah.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2325.401

I'm sure you do. Girls love him. Preston Myers is like... I personally don't get it.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2363.872

This is great. You landed. Just wait until we get to the recasting couch because I have a couple of suggestions. Okay. What do you have for the butch's girlfriend?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2380.807

It doesn't even really matter. Yeah.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2394.659

I think there were some other possibilities with that character.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2410.495

I don't know how to make sense of his character, but I can just only compare it to the greats from the 80s. Specifically, the goat, Billy Zabka.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2420.94

And you think, like, if this was a Billy Zabka role, now the whole movie falls. You're like, oh, I totally get who this guy is. He's not Zabka-y enough. On the Zabka scale, he's like a three.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2432.425

And I don't know. I was trying to think of other actors from that generation.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2438.965

Right, who's just like, oh man, that guy's a fucking asshole.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2445.009

I don't, either he needed to be bigger and more physically imposing, or he needed to have that Zabka kind of feel to him, or even like a Judd Nelson kind of wild card, I might get in a fight at all times guy.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2479.782

I had that in What's Aged the Worst. You're spending three years with this dude just because he's good at football? Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't make sense. It's tough. Makes you think less of her.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2498.404

Having a crush on Scott Baio and telling a long monologue about it.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2508.199

Even go back and watch Charles in Charge or Happy Days and be like, wait, really? Scott Baio?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2519.31

How about the drummer of the band at the party saying to the lead singer that he looks like Lestat? Does anyone under 40 get that joke?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

252.97

Yeah. Well, it's the Internet's forming, but not really. Yeah. But the big thing for me is how influenced this was. And this whole era was influenced by those 80s movies. Yes. This is like the the sons and daughters of John Hughes. Yeah. And all of these other things. And they're just they're just stealing different things that worked like this movie is basically they're stealing say anything.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2538.747

All right. So the R rating that this movie didn't get, here's some of the research. Fascinelli says they cut out one character, Crying Drunk Girl.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2548.359

Who they subtitled because she was just talking complete gibberish. And she was played by Jan Brady from Brady Bunch movies. So good. That sounds great. I wish that person was in the movie. Stone Girl, who you can see staring at the banana at one point, was in the movie way more.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2565.537

Yeah. They changed the pot brownies to brownies, but we knew. At one point, I think... The guy from Cruel Intentions. What's his name from Save the Last Dance? That guy?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2579.302

Instead of bullshit, he says, bullhorn. I've never heard bullhorn ever. Yeah. Apparently, Jason Segel wasn't just holding the watermelon but started to have sex with it.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2594.601

So did American Pie just rip off like seven things from this movie?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2607.771

And then... who said this oh Ethan Embry asked if he felt any anger when movies like American Pie and Superbad kicked off a wave of successful raunchy teen comedies Embry replies absolutely like you fuckers This is like the last, it's almost like a black and white TV before we get to color. Like this movie is completely different if they make it five years later.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2641.868

Wasn't with them on that one. The Van Lathan Award for did this movie need more black people? Just throwing it in. I bet he would say yes, because there's like two black people in it.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2688.389

The Ruffalo Hannah Rubinick Partridge Overacting Award. I have my pick, but you go.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2724.895

The CR thinks Luke Wilson could have been Harrison Ford hottest take award. What do you got?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2750.194

The schools are really good at Huntington Hillside High. Yeah. Kelly's going to UCLA. Okay. Crushing it. Dartmouth.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

276.669

Yeah, they admit it. They're like, we watch Say Anything and we're like, why isn't that big party? Why isn't that just the whole movie? They're stealing John Hughes stuff left and right. They're stealing from Secret Admirer. They're stealing from Can't Buy Me Love with the nerds. And it works.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2773.65

I had this in Picket Nets. Yeah. It felt a little soon.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2782.598

You know what I mean? Go away for a weekend with like your mom and your aunt. Go backpacking in Europe. Take a gap year.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2788.744

I'm with you. I have my hottest take.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2793.269

An ensemble cast high school movie centered around one big party is the easiest and most watchable movie anyone can possibly make. And I don't understand why there's 20 of them a year. Let's make one. Craig. Your thoughts. Is there an easier thing to do in Hollywood than an ensemble cast high school movie centered around one big party?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2836.649

Every year, it should be like a federal law. Yes. If we're going to have tariffs, maybe this could be a law, too. Like, federal law, we have to make one a year to capture whatever the year was with an ensemble high school movie.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2850.101

Yeah, use your power, Mikey Madison. Exactly. Go back to high school.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2865.767

That's the Teen Wolf, some kind of wonderful... My wife mentioned that when we were watching it. Yeah. And she was like, are they setting... She couldn't remember it after. She's like, are they setting up? They end up together at the end. And I was like, no, they actually swerve on this one. Yeah, they really do.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2893.636

I actually almost put that in What's Aged to Worst when it says Denise and Kenny broke up five minutes later. I just would have had that.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2903.001

I wouldn't even have them get back together in five minutes. They break up five minutes later.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2912.932

All right, before we get to casting what ifs, we'll take one more break. Casting what ifs. They wrote the role of Kenny with Breckin Meyer in mind. And he was shooting 54. The Studio 54 movie. Instead, a movie I'm kind of obsessed with because- Really? It's one of the most legendarily butchered movies ever released from an editing standpoint.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2934.813

And then there's this whole director's cut that I don't know if you've ever seen. I've never- That's kind of awesome. Is it good? Yeah. Okay. It is like the biggest disparity between what a movie that was actually released where you're like- this movie is incoherent. What's happening?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2947.299

And then the director's cut, it's like, Oh, these three actually ended up in like some weird threesome kind of relationship and got caught up in it. Like it, it, it fills in a lot of, I believe you.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2961.971

Um, anyway, he took a small role in, uh, as the lead singer of love burger.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2969.197

Uh, So they wanted Embry to read for the nerd. For William. And Embry insisted. I said, no, I know I'm not your typical leading man type, but I thought this movie was better suited if they didn't cast that guy. And they said, okay, big mistake.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

2991.388

That's fine. Women love Preston Myers. We're just going to agree to disagree. Here, Kaplan said they were looking very closely at James Marsden for Mike Dexter, but Fastinelli had a hint of danger that he didn't. Marsden would have been great. Marsden, everybody's been in on Marsden, and he's finally had his moment, and it took You feel like Jury Duty is the moment? Jury Duty.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3014.084

I think this Hulu show. Yeah. I think Marsden's like, it's finally all happened.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3021.886

Yeah. Everyone likes Marsden. What's that Katherine Hagel movie?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3029.669

He's great in Enchanted. I had to listen once to my wife and Juliette Lipman. have like an 18-minute James Marsden conversation while I was like pouring gasoline on myself.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3045.98

Gotta say, met him and talked to him at an Oscars party and just a handsome guy.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3052.323

Nice, nice handsome guy. And just like really talented. Yeah. And doesn't seem like he has a lot of problems in life. They wanted Alicia Witt for the Lauren Ambrose role. That's an interesting one. That's a great one. It's a good – she's another one that I feel like – and she's had some good roles over the years. But I thought she was so good in that Sopranos episode. Oh, you didn't see it.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3072.479

It made me wonder. I feel like there was more there career-wise for her.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3089.99

What was that movie with her? Urban Legend, the high school movie?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3092.791

You know another thing with Leigh Chouette? Sean Fantasy, card-carrying Leigh Chouette, fan club member. That's a Mount Rushmore for him.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3102.254

Hope I'm not talking out of school.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3111.823

Her Sopranos episode is really great. So they cast somebody else for the nerd role of William that Korsmo ended up doing. And it was this actor named Adam Handbird who had been in Little Man Tate. And he just didn't fit and they had to fire him.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3131.312

And they just couldn't land the plane on it.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3145.918

Did you believe that? You don't believe that? I feel like Reese Witherspoon was too famous at that point. Yeah, she was like leading Pleasantville and she was in... Fear at that point.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3154.882

I think she's too famous to be in this movie. She's only the Jennifer Love Hewitt character if she's in this.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3172.715

She's like Cruel Intentions like a year later. I don't know. She's like you put her on the front of the poster. So I think unless it's the Jennifer LePue role, I don't see it.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3192.289

That's like a. You don't know if I've seen that. Who are you talking to? That movie's good.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3206.709

The Best That Guy Award category is one of the best ever. Because we have, here's three nominees, and you might have more. The guy who paid Dirk Degler to jerk off in front of the church, he's Mike Dexter, one of his friends.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3226.278

Poppy from Seinfeld as the cop. Yes. And then Tara from 90210, who became obsessed with Kayla Taylor and became single-wave female. She's in this, too, as one of the high school kids. That is the all-time big three. Yeah. I'm in. I'm done.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3250.978

I don't know who that is. I didn't know who Amber Benson was. I didn't know what her name was.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3256.684

Because in 90210, one year, they had Brandon's girlfriend...

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3266.64

And that was the best Brandon girlfriend. That was the one he should have ended up with. But I think she left to do Buffy.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3272.299

I can't remember what her name was, but she was like the editor of the newspaper.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3276.061

She wrote the big abortion story that it turned out she was the one that had the abortion. Big swerve at the end.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3284.427

Buffy was like a pretty – that was another farm factory for these movies.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3299.022

Dion Waiters Award. You mentioned Melissa Joan Hart. I think she's eligible. Sarah Rood, Jenna Elfman, and Jerry O'Connell, I think, and Jason Siegel. Can I make the case for Klepto Kid?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3313.746

Who has no... And he's one of those guys.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3318.571

Yeah. Klepto Kid's just continually just showing up and stealing something. And I think he's my favorite.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3347.589

Recasting couch director city. Okay.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3358.337

Oh, another one that the women like that the guys never totally got.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3384.878

Yeah. Yeah. You nerd him up a little bit, but I feel like I'm way more believing that she's going to be just immediately smitten by Marston. And maybe Marston changes his hair. Maybe he's got some weird hairdo until the last day of high school.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3411.276

Okay. Well, here's my other idea.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3414.696

Jason Segel and Ethan Embry just switch parts.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3420.76

Yeah, he's already watermelon fuck run. Yeah, yeah. And then we get Jason Segel, first movie ever, age 19. He's like tall and skinny and gawky, but he's cool. And from what we know from him over the next 10 years, could have pulled it off.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3470.0

He's fucking Shaggy from Scooby-Doo for 90 minutes. Nightmare. Shaggy.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3484.256

So Matt Flynn was this guy who was a backup QB in the Packers. And he played like two games at the end of the season and did well in the two games.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3495.471

So it was the last game of the year. It didn't really mean anything. Seattle freaked out, gave him this huge contract, and then he wasn't good. And that's who compared Ethan Embry to your guy.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3540.543

I have to test drive one more candidate for the football player.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3545.799

What about Mark Wahlberg, just six years too old to be in the movie as Mike Dexter?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3556.546

Like, really menacing. And you kind of can't believe he's in the movie, but that gave him a lot of money to be in it. I don't know. He might have been too old.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3575.318

Well, that's 10 things I hate about you. Yeah, Keith Ledger. Keith Ledger vaulted that movie to a whole nother... I mean, we already did that one on Rewatchables. Half-Centered Research, we mentioned Melissa Joan Hart, who was filming Sabrina at the same time, and took B12 vitamins to stay energized during the all-night shoots.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3593.87

Yeah. I'm going to wonder what that really was. And then apparently when the... When they finished filming in the place, they allowed the whole cast to destroy the house for one last scene, and they spent an hour destroying the house.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

36.206

The Rewatchables is brought to you by The Ringer Podcast Network. You can find Joanna Robinson on House of R with Mallory Rubin. Correct. My longtime friend.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3620.142

Right. Yeah. And he could have been, who was his character?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3627.366

I mean, he's another one who could have been Preston. I'll basically accept anyone else from that era as Preston.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3639.141

Is he old enough? Is he too young?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3649.871

Yeah, I actually looked... I was going to put that for what stage the worst, thinking he was, like, 38 when he filmed the movie, and he was 21. I was shocked.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3659.399

Apex Mountain, Ethan Embry, definitely. It's Ethan Embry. Jennifer Love Hewitt, no question. Party of Five crossed with this movie, crossed with I Know We Did Last Summer. Yes, this time. It never got bigger. This exact moment is her moment.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3679.898

I'm just saying this specific time frame, 98.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3698.588

Fascinelli, definitely. No, Twilight. Twilight. Oh, I don't know Twilight.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

371.326

Can I get out of it this way? And you mentioned the aughts. Like, American Pie comes basically right after this movie. Yeah. And we just go from, like, we're down here to blowing up. And you watch this movie now, and they talk about it in some of the research. Like, this should have just been, this should have started the R-rated high school comedy movie phase. And they kind of had it.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3711.432

Oh, that sounds important. That's more important than this movie and being married to Jenny Garth at the same time. You're right.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3717.037

Yeah, Twilight. All right, that's fine. Jenna Elfman, yes. Because she's on that show at the same time.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3722.923

Darma and Greg, plus she cameo on this where it's like a big deal. She made a cameo.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3738.164

No, I don't know if it is or not. We're debating. I don't think so because... I actually think the answer is Scream.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3747.492

Oh, yeah, you're right. It might be Clueless. Yeah. It's Screamer Clueless.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3754.039

And American Pie is $2,000? Yeah. Yeah, so that's... Or $99.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3758.623

Oh, shit. If Pie's $99, then I think that's... You think it's American Pie? Yeah.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3782.012

Korsmo. I really liked him in What About Bob? But I don't know. I don't know what his apex was.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3791.619

All in one night high school movies?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3808.108

I would say Superbad. I think it was the most successful and it had the most people in it that went on to become even bigger.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3822.151

Yeah, the indie one. Blink-182 and Smash Mouth?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3836.205

Where do you... No, you got to go... We're allowed to take any year of Cruise or Hanks. You can go early 80s either.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3846.313

It's interesting because I was thinking Risky Business Era, Joel Goodson, Cruise.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3852.637

Dorking it up, but then deep down, there's a little more there as Preston or Cruz as Mike Dexter.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3881.428

All right, so let's go Hanks. Like 1979 Hanks as Mike Dexter. Yeah. Yeah, all right.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3887.813

I mean, as Preston. Yeah, yeah. Scorsese or Spielberg? Hilarious category. I'd probably go Spielberg for this one.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3904.226

What role would Philip Seymour Hoffman have played? Probably Trip McNeely.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3911.346

Yeah. Hail Angel? Yeah. Okay. Picking nits. I have a couple. What do you have?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3921.44

The cops break up that party in one hour. I just wrote down Amanda Beckett. What's happening there? She was with this idiot for three years and goes to a party and doesn't seem to really have any friends and just kind of wanders around and doesn't know anyone. Like you have no identity. Like what?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

393.042

And a lot of the stuff got cut out because it was still that attitude of, no, no, we need to get the kids to be in the theater. We need high school kids.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3939.277

Like I just feel like she would have a little more.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3960.858

Nobody else uses the upstairs bathroom for this entire party? I mean, has anyone ever been to a high school party? People are, they're looking at the line, they're looking around, they're going upstairs.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3970.544

For two hours, they're trapped in the bathroom, nobody else goes up there? Come on. Amanda has no idea who Preston is. How big was this high school?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

3992.377

We should have mentioned her in What's Aged to Best.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

400.512

And they didn't see the big picture, which American Pie saw, and that changed everything.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4038.483

Kenny and Denise just having sex right away after they talked for 10 minutes when they were both pretty socially immature. I don't know. I'm flagging it. Late 90s.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4052.881

No. I just feel like they probably, I don't know. I don't know if they're just.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4057.936

I don't know if they're banging boots in two minutes on the cold bathroom floor.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4063.541

He does. Maybe the love kit got her. Sequel, prequel, prestige TV, all black cast or untouchable. Can I talk you into semi-prestige? Okay. Like an eight episode Amazon all set in. a final night of a high school and it's almost done like the pit with no wiley it's like each hour is an actual hour at the party yeah yeah yeah craig would you watch that Sure, yeah.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

407.437

I can't wait to talk about all the stuff they cut.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4091.149

The pit crossed with Can't Hardly Wait?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4108.661

It's just crushing. Wiley is the most back anyone's ever been back. 100% back. He's full-time back.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4116.226

Is this movie better? With Wayne Jenkins, Daniel Trejo, Doris Burke, Sam Jackson, Nell, Byron Mayo, Barney Cousins, Tony Romo, Harley Mays, Chris Collinsworth, Daniel Plainville, Longlegs, or Wilford Brimley in the firm.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4156.209

Can I offer you Sam Jackson as the cop?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4159.03

Instead of Poppy from Seinfeld, Sam Jackson comes in and just Sam Jackson's it up for like six minutes. Absolutely. And then they just give him a million dollars.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4170.893

Just one Oscar who gets it. I'm going to unfortunately say nobody for this one, which we rarely have a nobody.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4184.977

Best editing. That's good. Good answer.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4203.652

Costume design. Yeah. And the nominees are Can't Hardly Wait.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4208.596

Sense and Sensibility. Yeah. Probably unanswerable questions. I don't really have any other than this one. The five-year reunion sequel was sitting right there in 2003. And all of these people were still relatively famous enough.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4223.908

But they could have made it way more raunchy. And five-year, same thing, one night, we catch up. At that point, the movie had kind of taken off as a cult movie. It's sitting right there.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4234.653

I don't know why they did it. They could also do the 30-year reunion movie, but I'm not sure people would be as excited about that one.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4252.956

Maybe Amanda has a personality by then.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4260.998

The Zewatne Award for what happened the next day. I have Preston and Amanda dated for two years, and then she immediately started dating the soccer captain of whatever school she was going to and dumped him. I think it's a two-year romance.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

428.633

aged very poorly right but like there's just like a very innocent way about this movie you know yeah it's one of those movies that just immediately was on for 15 straight years and one of the reasons it was on for so long was it was so translatable to tbs tnt totally any channel they didn't really have a lot to cut there's a couple bad words they don't there's no nudity

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4289.946

Who actually has read Kurt Vonnegut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's smart. What piece of memorabilia would you want from this movie or not want? This is easy for me. The goggles?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4302.845

I also, I wrote that in the love kit, but then the yearbook would be kind of funny to have. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because people signed it.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4309.829

The goggles are pretty good. The goggles are great. I would give those to Craig because he was obviously fascinated by those. Craig definitely gets the goggles. Coach Finstock will wear it for best life lesson. Fate only takes you so far.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4320.936

I actually really learned something about life in this.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4342.23

Shower shoes are important. Best double feature choice. What do you have?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4348.231

So I had 16 candles. Interesting. Maybe it's a triple feature.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4352.515

So it'd be 16 candles. Can't hardly wait.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4358.92

And that's like four generations of all in one night movies. Maybe you throw in Say Anything for a quintuple header.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4365.385

Sounds great. Who won the movie? This is hard.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4389.999

So... I had it narrowed down to Ethan Embry because there's just no way he was ever going to lead another movie after this. So he gets to at least point to like, hey, that time I led a movie. Seth Green, who's just having an incredible run here. Yeah. Do we mention him in Apex Mountain? No. I might have forgotten to put him in there. Because he has Austin Powers. Yes. He's Scott Evil. He has this.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

44.291

You can find the three of us on the Prestige TV podcast. We just broke down the season finale of White Lotus, which we have not seen yet as we're recording this podcast.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4414.535

He's on Buffy. He's just all over the place. And it feels like he's... Everybody likes Seth Green. He had a really high approval rating.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4424.811

You know this wasn't his first high school movie.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4430.193

I don't know if you're going to get it.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4438.135

Can't Buy Me Love. Oh, Can't Buy Me Love. He's Chucky, the little annoying brother who keeps trying to... He's Patrick Dempsey's brother.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4473.949

I missed out on all the roller skating, rollerblading, skateboarding movies. All of them. I haven't seen any of them. You didn't glean the cube? Yeah, none of them.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4481.992

None of them. For who won the movie, I think you could say Lauren Ambrose. Because she had the best career after and it's so cool to see her in this movie now.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4498.376

Yeah. And you see the seeds evolve. She's had a really good career. I mean, in the moment, it felt like Jennifer Love Hewitt won the movie. But as you said, like her characters doesn't really have a lot going on.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

450.342

There's nothing people being drunk, but you're not really seeing them like because they were so careful about the PG-13. It just immediately moved into this 15 year run.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4514.271

I like your Seth Green call. Yeah, I think it's Seth Green. Yeah.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4522.98

All right, I'm nervous. Craig Horlbeck, our producer, who's never seen this movie.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4601.062

That's, that was one of the reasons I was so excited to do it. Because it's like this time capsule that you can't really explain 27 years later.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

467.169

It's funny because I was watching and I got nostalgic for that era. I was older. I was in my late 20s at that point. But I had my uncle's daughters who were all going to all of these movies. And I went with them to a couple of them. And all of a sudden, there was this boom. And we'll go backwards because you have Clueless and then you have Scream.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4680.855

But you know what, Craig? Everything he just laid out is one of the reasons I like this movie. It's because the late 90s had no interest in really exploring anything.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4689.541

They just wanted, they cared about, is there a good soundtrack?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4693.343

Did we get enough young stars? Yeah. Can you describe the theme of the movie in a sentence? Let's go. Can you film this in 25 days?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4737.737

And part of this era, they just shamelessly ripped off movies that already happened. Yeah. You know, like, what was the movie? The Freddie Prinze movie where the girl... She's all that? It's basically Secret Admirer. Not Secret Admirer. Can't Buy Me Love. Yes. Oh, 100%. Redone. Or you'd have movies like The Faculty where they were just like, do you have the script yet? The faculty's evil.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4759.904

That's all we got. But we got to shoot three weeks from now. And we have a couple people on board already. Nick Stahl's in. Let's go.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4769.954

So let's just start filming and we'll figure out the script. And that's just kind of how they did it back then. People were dumber back then, Craig. I don't know what to tell you.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4779.875

That was producer Craig Horvath. Thanks to Gahow as well, behind the scenes. Thank you. Thanks to Joanna for spending so much time in LA with us.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4791.24

You can watch this on the Ringer Movies YouTube page as well. And we will see you next week.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

4800.905

I'm a... Maybe I'll bring in Ethan Embry for the future for the is this movie better off with Sam Jackson, that whole category.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

487.574

And Scream is what... Scream's the tipping point. Scream breaks Hollywood's brains.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

494.578

Teen horror movie, but really a teen movie. And everybody goes, and Hollywood's going, hmm.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

499.501

So you have this generation raised on Hughes, Risky Business, Karate Kid, Can't Buy Me Lunch. Just all those movies. Now they're ready for their generation. You have the internet that's not the internet yet. You have high school kids... still going to movies. Nobody's home online all the time because online really hasn't happened yet. So they're still like, what am I doing tonight?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

521.492

Where am I going? It's a big day thing. You also have network TV. It's like this farm system of teen stars. Because you have 90210, Party of Five, and Buffy.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

535.636

Dawson's Creek. Dawson's. So it's almost like the real world creating the feeder system for the challenge.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

542.702

It's like, here's Katie Holmes. Throw her into disturbing behavior.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

546.325

Hey, here's Jennifer Love Hewitt. You like her on Party of Five? Here she is. And so it's this little sweet spot, PG-13. This is really when they figured out exactly how far they could go. And then you have Maxim Magazine. That era's there where Jennifer Love Hewitt, whoever the best-looking girl in the movie, they were always in that world. And then the last thing was the pop music era.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

55.697

Yeah, we don't know. They've been hiding the screeners from us. But Joanna's been in L.A. For how many weeks now?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

569.147

For whatever reason. And the same thing happened in the 80s, in the mid-80s. The pop music just makes sense for movie soundtracks. These bands like Blink-182, they're just- Smash Mouth? Yeah, background music for movies.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

586.173

It's really- Banger after banger. It feels like 1998. Yeah, exactly. We talk about that sometimes on this pod about when music- just makes perfect sense for when the movie came out. And this is one of those where it's like, of course.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

63.794

Six weeks. And you've done, I think, about 95 podcasts in those six weeks.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

649.527

One Crazy Night always works. High school is about to be over. This is our last chance to change the perception of who we are. That always works. Yeah. Somebody pining for somebody else. I mean, that was basically 16 Candles. That was the blueprint. Yeah. So this movie is just grabbing different little tiny things.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

667.037

The other thing, the teen movie boom we mentioned, it's really an amazing post-scream three years. I wrote down all the movies. I think I got all these. An American Pie was the biggest one, but I know what you did last summer, one and two. Halloween H2O, which they reinvent Halloween basically as a teen movie. Michelle Williams, yeah. The Faculty.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

688.971

I got to say I'm embarrassed by how many I saw. I saw a lot of these in the theater, including The Faculty, including Disturbing Behavior.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

698.158

Disturbing Behavior is good. I still defend it. Varsity Blues. Yes. Cruel Intentions, I think was one of the higher end ones. I'm throwing in Bring It On. Sure. 10 Things I Hate About You, She's All That, Drive Me Crazy. Yeah. I think we can count Never Been Kissed, even though it's Drew Barrymore going back to high school. Yeah. I'm going to sneak in.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

70.215

Yeah. So I said, we got to do rewatchables before you leave.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

718.86

And then we have the weird ones, like Wild Things, Teaching Mrs. Tingle, Jawbreaker, Drop Dead Gorgeous. Yeah. And then But I'm a Cheerleader. So that's 20? And those are on three years.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

73.616

I sent you a list. And one of the two movies that you said was absolutely one of your all-timers was Can't Hardly Wait. And I was like, really interesting.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

734.39

In Hollywood, it's just like more high school, more high school. Here's more money.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

739.335

Oh, it's a horror movie in high school? Great. Oh, wait, what about that fifth lead in Dawson's Creek? Can we get them in something?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

751.614

And then you have the skulls in movies like that that weren't necessarily high school movies, but were also dipping into the same teen pool.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

766.3

It became like Mad Libs mix and match. Yeah. Because Party of Five 2, Bailey never made it.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

778.524

Right, but that's an adult movie. Lacey Chabert. What's her? Lacey Chabert? Chabert.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

786.009

She was too young, but then rose and became Mean Girls. That became the stunt casting for that. But J-Lo being in this movie was a big deal because she was a big deal on Party of Five.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

804.309

I forgot this because I was researching Jennifer Love Hewitt, who everybody had a crush on for probably four years. How she went by love. I forgot they spun off. Yes. Party of Five, where she had this whole spinoff show where she went to go find her birth parents. I think I blocked this out of my mind.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

824.056

She went to New York City to find her birth parents. How is that a show?

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

836.199

It sounds like that. It sounds like it adds up.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

84.838

I can't say no to that. So we're going to dive into Can't Hardly Wait next.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

840.381

Yeah, so she dated Carson Daly. She was just in that whole world. Had some tough career stuff. Lost out on Romeo and Juliet to Claire Danes. Thank God. Lost out, broke down Palace. Your favorite Claire Danes movie. She lost to Kate Beckinsale for that role.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

863.072

How about that? That's like the most 90s thing that's ever happened. Wow. But the problem is you're on those TV shows. You had no time to do anything else. Like they're in the research, like Melissa Joan Hart. She's the crazy yearbook girl in this. And she had to film all her scenes late at night because she was also filming her.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

881.864

All these people, they never had the time to branch out. That's what killed the 90210 cast too.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

932.41

Well, the saddest one was just the Timberlake. Yes. Because I think he started crying. He did cry. Jennifer Love Hewitt was interesting because... She was really polarizing. Men liked her. And at least all the women I knew didn't like her. It made them mad that men liked her. Interesting. And so she became... And this happens sometimes.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

955.924

Yeah, you know, sometimes women are like, oh, she's so cute. I love her. And then other times, like, you like her? Interesting. And she just moved into that world for some reason. The guys liked her. She had something.

The Rewatchables

‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ With Bill Simmons and Joanna Robinson

981.633

Neve Campbell had a nice run, too. She has another run. I mean, she started with Scream. Scream. They filmed this in October 97. Co-writer-director Harry Alphonse said suddenly every place was open for business, for teen movies. Yeah. Students realized the audience was underserved. We had one tight budget, the whole thing. So the movie, they have the dorks and the hot girls. Brainy cute guy.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

10.774

Just be yourself, and the guests will come. Don't be the celebrity that this is their, like, sixth thing they're doing.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1004.919

As you know, my theory is 99% of the time scenes are deleted for a reason. Very rarely do you get the Boogie Nights situation where there's six or seven awesome, awesome deleted scenes where you're like, oh, fuck. That would have been awesome if that was in the movie. I think the better the filmmaker is, probably the better their content is. Stuff like this, I'm sure they have another three hours.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1025.852

There was an alternate Anchorman movie. I think Anchorman 2, there was a whole entire alternate movie of all the takes they had that when you get the DVD, there's a second version of it.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1044.074

Blade Runner. Boogie Nights is probably the standard for me.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1050.472

Yeah. There's some good, like, there was some interesting Pulp Fiction stuff that they cut. Yeah. It wasn't mastered the same way, but, you know. But for the most part, it's deleted for a reason. Comedies, you'll see, like, the outtakes are really funny. Like, they'll have those, like, Tommy Boy has really good outtakes. They're movies. They're not necessarily deleted scenes, but they're hilarious.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1071.547

Yeah. And I think this had a lot of that, too. Oh, I'm sure.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1074.71

I can only imagine. So. guest said he got the idea because he was walking his dog near his house and it was a rescue dog and he said a woman with a pure breed of some sort came up to me and said in a fashion what is that and he said it's my dog he's a mix of this and that and her expression was one of not even that's not acceptable basically that's an awful thing to have happened in the world

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1096.4

I was struck by how bizarre it was. And there we go. Like the kind of superiority of the pure breed people. Yeah, of course. And then he just became fascinated by the dog show world. And we were off.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1125.602

we we had two rescues in a row and then murph was yeah we got from somebody yeah because i was tired of the body language and he's definitely he's definitely the best behaved and he turned out to be worse behaved than both rescue dogs my parents also bred uh the dog and they had like to replace you yeah the dog that replaced me also they like did puppies and sold them and stuff like that

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1148.226

So, Levy said, much wider appeal for this movie than the other ones it did. Because, quote, people just love dogs. Which makes me wonder. It's true. Because we were always talking about, should we have a dog month on the rewatchables? There's just not enough dog movies. You'd have to go into the Marley and Me, like, kind of area.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1165.458

But it feels like there should be one that comes out every year. All of the Air Bud. It must be like rom-coms.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1170.982

What's the... Dog's Purpose is big. Simmons Family has a lot of fans.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1178.047

Another good one. Yeah. It's a sad one.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1190.134

The one with Paul Walker is good. Is it Snow Dogs? One of those.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1196.976

It's weird that Netflix's algorithm hasn't discovered this yet that people just like dogs.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1218.143

This is your favorite one of all the Chris guests?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1225.97

What is your single favorite thing about it?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1231.973

Just everything. Like your single favorite thing about Best in Show.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1279.597

I don't know how she did it. It's one of the great athletic sheets. It is just astonishing.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1298.686

I love it. What would be your number one favorite thing about this movie?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1308.009

I really like Guffman too. Plus it was first and it was so original.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1329.927

I have two. I think Higgins and McKeon are the... I can't believe how much joy I get from every moment.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1338.934

If you only saw this movie and you knew nothing, you would think Higgins went on to be one of the biggest stars in the entire world. He's like, oh, this guy was on SNL for nine years. No, not really. He played David Letterman in a movie, did some other stuff, and was a character actor. He's so, every single split second he's in, he's just, like, alive. And those guys are so good together.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1360.367

McCain had some quote, like, they figured out, like, he was the string and Higgins was the balloon. And that's how they kind of did it. And it was like, that's perfect. And then Fred Willard is just so fucking funny. Like, you can watch this movie 20 times.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1408.621

And then, so we should talk about that because the English guy was like the straight man that they told him. I love him. Study as much dog stuff as possible, Trevor.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1419.228

Who was only there for one day for the shoot.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

145.029

All right. So I don't know what it says that we've done two rewatchables with Joanna and they've been crash and best in show.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1483.714

Yeah. Also, it made more sense in 2000 because there really were announcers, like at least in the vicinity of this guy, like doing baseball games and football games where you're just like, man, is this guy drunk? What's happening to this guy?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1510.919

Which is all these movies. But I went back with him. I didn't really know him until I didn't see Spinal Tap till high school. But the first time I saw him was he was on SNL for a year with Martin Short and Billy Crystal. And he was in when they loaded the cast. They did like the Yankees.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

152.893

Okay. Then we've got to go like some sort of sci-fi or, or, uh, Marvel or something.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1527.046

And he did his two best things was he was on Jackie Rogers Jr. $100,000 jackpot. He played Raheem. Which was like just this crazy character that was hilarious. But then they did the one, the synchronized swimmers with him and Martin Short.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1542.271

That was basically a short version of one of these movies where it was like these two male synchronized swimmers, but Martin Short wasn't a strong swimmer and he had to wear a life vest and they were doing the routines. And it was just like, I'd never seen anything like that. So then Spinal Tap was a big 80s high school movie.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1559.858

And it was one of those that nobody saw that in the theater. It was like a belated on cable. Yeah. Like, what's this? And it just all of a sudden became a classic.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1571.817

You know what I mean? Like, it was just in the water.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1581.125

Yeah. But then McKeon ended up on SNL replacing Phil Hartman, and it just wasn't good. I don't know what it was.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1588.489

It just wasn't the right thing for him. Yeah. So then this is a big comeback for him. The movie was written by Gaston Levy, as we mentioned. $10.8 million budget made $20 million. Roger Ebert, three and a half stars.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1603.695

A wickedly funny mockumentary. He did say that.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1617.165

He did say the movie is consistently just plain funny and sometimes ascends to a kind of crazed genius.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1627.168

To me, this is a four star. This is a four star. The first time I saw it, I was like, this movie is in my life now. No question. It was an immediate DVD purchase. Yeah, absolutely. I hadn't seen it for a couple of years. And I just, I watched it twice in the last week and I was just fucking laughing. And I was laughing at different things during the two viewings. That was what was surprising.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

163.239

Um, the mockumentary. The three best mockumentary movies of all time.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1651.413

We'll take a break and then we're going to do rewatchable scenes. This is tough. Really hard. I think I structured this correctly, but I also have too many already.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1670.57

The opening meet and greet because we get Hamilton and Megan therapy, but then we go right to Jerry and Cookie Fleck.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

170.214

Oh, species. Species. The mockumentary, Spinal Tap, Best in Show, and Borat have to be in the Mount Rushmore if you're doing it. I think those three have to be in. And then the fourth one is kind of open depending on what you think.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1701.614

She didn't say anything. Didn't say a word. She was doing the Congress of the Cow?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1711.781

Did you look up the Congress of the Cow?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1753.798

I don't really like those dogs. Those never...

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1757.18

But then we go right to Jerry and Cookie Fleck.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1759.962

Who was very popular back then. Dozens of boyfriends.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1797.695

No, but wait. I was considered to be quite the Casanova myself when they cut to, like, the ugliest picture possible.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1808.123

Two left feet. They used to call him Loopy. I don't know how you come up with two left feet. I don't know how much... How stoned do you need to be? Like, what...

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1859.071

I have meeting Scott and stuff and Stefan and then right to Leslie and Sherry where we get there and they're in the grocery store, the meat market. Every one of those pepperoni sticks out. I just want to hold it. He's just coming out of the gates on fire.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1874.976

He was a wild man on campus on a Friday night. I'd have three Saturday nights and go home.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1884.818

I don't think there's a single second where they're not hilarious in this movie. Even when they're, like, decorating their hotel room with the thing on the wall. He's, like, quietly hammering a quilt into a hotel room wall.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1902.653

But then we go right to Leslie Ward Cabot doing a Joe Biden impersonation next to Jennifer Coolidge. Wow. We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about. We both love soup. He eventually became blue in old school. Three years later. This was a run for him.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1933.045

And everyone always says she was like during the SNL 50 stuff. I think she was one of the people that auditioned and didn't get it where they were like, ah, maybe, you know, she was close. We couldn't get there. She was definitely something. Everybody knew she was something. She knew everybody. She was friends with everybody. And then it just happened.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

195.664

Some people would throw Popstar in there. Some people would do a little Bruno. But I would have Guffman as the fourth. But Best in Show, which came out in 2000, right around the time when things would come out and then immediately go on DVD. And you could watch them over and over again. And this movie you just jump into. And it's great. And Mal? Yeah. Dogs. Dogs. On top of the comedy, dogs.

1971.277

Will you have me stop podcasting when I get to my Leslie Ward Cabot stage?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

1995.592

This is one of my favorite moments of the movie when she lays out the whole family dynamic. How she's the taskmaster like her father. Oh, my God. Her mom's the heart and soul. And she was there with unconditional love until my mom committed suicide in 81.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2012.321

Just an unbelievable. Wild line. And then it just cuts to the next scene. Unbelievable. And the two of them together. Oh. Just great. Perfect. Unbelievable. It almost could have been its own show.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2024.376

That is... Like, that could have been an NBC sitcom in, like, 2002.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2034.42

That's where we hired Mal from. Yeah, American Bitch. American Bitch and Sports Illustrated. Exactly.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2051.488

This was early in the Jane Lynch experience. I never saw her before this movie. No, me neither. She did stuff. I don't remember it. But then anytime I saw her after, I was like, Jane Lynch. Yeah, of course. Best in show. Best in show.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2062.658

And then when Glee happened, it was not surprising. Yeah. Well, Jerry and Cookie have dinner with their old boyfriend. I just gotta tell you guys, this is my pick for most rewatchable scene.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2082.052

Wow. Zach, the son, absolutely kills me.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2087.655

Playing with his parachuter. The guy openly flirting with her at the table while also talking about how he was the chief hostage negotiator.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2097.188

And then Eugene left me getting mad and complimenting the wife on her beautiful, luscious breasts.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2110.16

But when they go outside and the kid's on the shed, it just kills me. And he starts doing his hostage negotiator.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2140.084

This is my pick. I love the kid on this show.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2166.122

I will stab you with forks until you bleed. How about that? Do you have any other rewatchables before we get to the pre-show party? My number one is... No, I have a bunch more. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. In the sequencing. Yes.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2180.348

Well, we can go back after. The pre-show party.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2195.427

We had an ice luge at the 2016 ringer Christmas party. Did you? Yeah. Back when we still had parties.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2202.997

The mint julep. You were working as a waitress there. You were the best.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2212.785

But she's kind of a drinker, so you don't forget the best.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2227.739

I wrote down They Can't Find Busy B. This is my... Which Parker Posey performs like she's in a Scorsese cocaine film.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2238.85

Has this been you ever with anything missing with Halo?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

225.64

I was going to do this later, but what's your favorite dog out of all the dogs? I'm ready to do this now and just completely blow up the structure of the pod.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2349.775

The pre-show party also has Harlan murdering the swans when he's just telling some long, boring Harlan story. And then Hamilton asks about his jacket.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2366.495

I thought the same thing. Totally. And then the you must be very proud Mary joke. Then we get to the show. Fred Willard wants to know why they don't dress up the dog like Sherlock Holmes. It's that whole thing. Not quite a rewatchable, but a little anything. All right. This is hard to do the end part, but there's a whole...

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2389.594

Jane Lynch part where she won't wear makeup and they talk about that and then she tries to psych out Harlan she's like oh look at this dog she's intimidated she's scared and then it goes right into Fred talking about the shih tzu And stewardess, can I take a shih tzu out of my carry-on? And that's when Trevor's starting to get frustrated.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2426.703

She looks like a cocktail witch inside an oil rig.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2431.066

Some of Fred's stuff. He trained to be a priest. Oh. He shouldn't find out what went wrong there, but that's a whole other show. He's just ad-libbing all this stuff. He went on that run with terriers.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

244.335

Winky was a Norwich terror. Yeah. Just for the.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2445.527

Some countries, those dogs might be eaten.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2450.828

I said that was a really good question.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2456.929

He has a book idea for a woman bathing her dogs.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2467.536

Would you put Meg buying a bumblebee at the pet store? Oh, the pet store scene is incredible.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2474.74

It's not a bee. It's a bear in a bee costume.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

248.638

Which I guess just means short legs, short legs. It looks kind of like a hedgehog.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2511.109

so good it is one of those where you think like she should have at least had an Aubrey Plaza type of career like she should have led movies and done Parker's done pretty well for herself and she's been like a like a character yeah indie queen character yeah But this and White Lotus makes me think, like, yeah, there's probably a couple more great roles in there.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2539.958

She's kind of a maniac as well as anyone ever.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2553.45

She has a key role in one of my favorite movies that we've ever done in Rewatchables that nobody's seen. Kicking and Screaming.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2561.714

Just screaming. Really good at Daytrippers. Screaming at Skippy. A couple more. Yeah. The dog attacks the judge. Fred says he went after her like she's made out of ham. It's a shame to see that happen, but he's still a champion, even if he's set off in disgrace.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2584.773

Rhapsody has two mommies. We gotta mention that one.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2592.177

He really doesn't. Not even a no here. It's a perfect game.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2602.922

They said he was training to be in this movie and actually was in a dog show and handled somebody in one.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2616.128

I was saying that my wife would have been good at this. Oh, yeah. My wife's a good athlete. But, like, Jane Lynch had that run.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2621.531

You have to have this controlled run where you don't break stride. Yeah. The prance. Yeah. Like, there's a certain athleticism that some of them seem to have. Jane Lynch was, like, great at it. But Higgins was good at it, too. All right. The final seven, which I guess we can lump together. Final seven.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2640.786

I mean, we get the injury and the limp. This is it.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2650.848

You think they know the championship's on the line here? Actual question from Fred.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2656.71

Am I nuts or is something wrong with his feet?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2660.151

The proctologist joke? Yeah, I remember you said that last year. Do all the dogs bark the same? Jerry wins.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2677.599

If you live in my neighborhood and you wear an outfit like that, you better be a hotel doorman. Fred's on just absolute fire. And then Jerry wins. It's an emotion. It's like a real sports movie. It is. Does this count as a sports movie for you? No question.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2696.36

Shit, Craig, this is like quietly sports movie month. I guess it is. Yeah. Wow.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2709.753

Rocky. Six Months Later is our last one.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2776.378

And then, of course, the studio engineer knows Cookie.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2787.227

You've grown. I'm grown right now, girl.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2794.052

And it's like, we can't do any better than this. It's like, now we're actually going to launch American Bitch Magazine now. Oh, my God. Here we go. Focusing on the issues of the lesbian dog breeder.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2804.62

And then Higgins and McKean are like, no, we're going to top that one. We're doing photo shoots of dogs and old famous movies. Maybe that's going to win. The Casablanca one is my favorite. And then we end back in the therapist's office with Kipper doing some leg humping.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2829.445

I mean, I just basically did the entire movie.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2843.777

No. We can get to it later. So your most rewatchable was?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2865.672

Why didn't Cookie's injury become one of the best Twitter memes to use anytime somebody had a dumb injury in sports?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

287.56

Does Beatrice thrive? You don't think they took her to a rat on a farm?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2873.055

It's not too late. Yeah, it's not too late. I don't know what we're doing. Joe, what do you have?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2881.178

So ironically, that's what I had for my most 2000 thing about this movie. Oh, yeah. That entire scene. People being excited about how they met in a Starbucks over the course of a couple weeks.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2892.287

Being big LL, being catalog guys and feeling lucky to be raised along catalogs. Amongst catalogs. Amongst catalogs. And now we... Do we have catalogs?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

290.703

One-way drive? That's what my parents did when I was six. Did they? Got a dog named Barney that was just the meanest, angriest puppy. No. And then one day they were like, we have to bring Barney to see his parents and the farm never came back. Barney found a good home.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2912.331

I only get ones for sports auctions. It'd be like, new Lou Gehrig jersey collection.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2932.196

What's aged the best? Mockumentary movies.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2938.157

Craig, what the hell is wrong with your generation? Why aren't there more mockumentary movies?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2961.397

Can I summarize that? Craig just said my generation is cowards.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

2984.71

Actually, you guys do some What's Age is Best and I'll do mine at the end. What do you got, Joe?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

308.451

I fell for it too. I was like, oh man. When did you find out?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3099.783

It feels like it's been ripped off in other movies. Yeah. Yeah.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3108.151

It's like the Patriots in 07 and the Giant Favorites.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3113.892

um you said it man i have what's aged the best just busy b being this toy that dominates everybody's life it's hilarious so good a dog on a treadmill i think is now a real thing yes i think that's the best just in general eugene levy's weird teeth commitment oh my god just like how far he'll go he'll go like cross-eyed for yeah it's just 10 minutes so weird like crazy things in his teeth

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

313.934

We took Barney back and they probably put him down because he was an absolute sociopath.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3137.734

I have, for what's aged the best, the Spinal Tap callback by Ed Begley Jr. Yes. About the rock being trashed in their room.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3146.161

Ed Begley Jr. is so good at this. He's so good at this.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3156.429

The AM Philadelphia guy, when they're about to go live, he goes, energy.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3160.532

I thought that was good. Yeah. Brockworth and Shillelagh's. Paging Dr. Freud. I don't know why that's so funny.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3170.235

Annoying coffee orders, which this movie ties into, but now literally everyone has an annoying coffee order, but the swans are talking about whatever they're doing.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3185.771

And then Posey said this in the oral history about Willard, seeing him and waiting for Guffman, just smoking a cigar in a folding chair, looking out in the empty street and just coming up with brilliant, funny stuff. I'm in awe. We would all just sit and watch him just double over. He had pages of legal pad of just bits. I have another thing. I have another thing.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3204.642

I think he's one of those rare guys that people, he was just like a comedy fountain.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3217.526

I didn't have a great Shaq Gordo award unless you guys have one.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

322.87

Sorry. My answer is Hubert the Bloodhound.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3236.792

What do you have for Big Kahuna Burger or Bessie's food and drink? Because I have her complimenting the food as being like cafeteria food.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3266.832

Oh, that's a good one. That's probably the answer.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

327.193

Every time I watch this movie, it makes me want to have a bloodhound. And I guess they drool.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3283.686

Kid Cudi Pursuit of Happiness or Best Needle Drop. It's one of the two songs. Would you go Terrorist Song or the other song?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3294.07

The one lady's tearing up. She's really getting emotional.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3298.352

Chess Rock while broccoli enters the world for best character name. Stephen Vanderhoof?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3306.875

Bulge is my runner-up, but... You want to go Stephen Vanderhoof?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3329.505

A dog with two different names is great. All right, Joanna, you have a flex category.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

333.938

And they're kind of put on earth to do certain things. Then they're not to live in L.A. and just be in somebody's house would be a waste of a bloodhound.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3369.951

Butch's girlfriend award for the weak link of the film. You don't have to pick. You don't have to pick a weak link.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3379.659

I don't. You don't want to say it. Harlan Pepper doesn't make me laugh.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3386.381

It's not quite fast forward over him, but I kind of get the joke immediately. Yeah. And it's a lot of work.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3397.566

I would have scaled him back and just put more of Higgins and McKeon in it.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3406.629

Because it's funny because in Guffman, he's the funniest guy in Guffman.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3410.811

And then in this, I almost think he was trying to zag really super hard the other way. And I just remember, even the first time I saw this movie, I remember being like, Huh.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3426.486

Well, the accent's great too. I like this too, buddies.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

343.105

My wife is a big play with the dog's ears person. And the bloodhound, it's like that's the number one set of ears you would get to play with.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3476.05

He's not alive anymore. Rufus. He just dropped dead one night. I don't have any What's Aged the Worst.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3485.942

I really like every part of this movie, and I don't know. I don't know where you go.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3548.567

Did you? I could have spent more time at the at the party with the melting ice thing.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3567.977

Ruffalo Hannah Rubinick Partridge overacting award. I think Hamilton cruises to the win here for I think he dials it up the most. You go get Busy B!

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3582.004

I have some other thoughts for him later.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3608.936

We're going to take a break and then do Mallory's flex choice. All right, Mallory, your flex choice is.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

366.824

Good personality. He's just mellow. His face squishes.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3664.566

Don't go on your work computer. You just made me think that AVN, when they have that porn weekend, it's like the convention.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3674.176

I went to it because we shot a segment for Jimmy Kimmel show when I was a writer.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3679.261

And that could have easily been a Christopher Guest world.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3692.462

I don't have an answer for you. I didn't have in the rundown the Mally Rubin Award for did this movie need a better sex scene? Because there is no sex scene.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3701.545

no i mean it's also a pg movie i don't know a sex scene would have been you don't want to see the swans that practice the pick is more athletic yeah there's an R-rated version of this movie where she's smoking pot and we get a sex scene with them that i don't know yeah that's how we meet kipper at the end is like they're actually workshopping a new page in the kama sutra and then we pan to kipper who's like you're crushing it mom and dad the other thing congress congress of the cow that's all that now

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3739.609

The CR thinks Luke Wilson could have been Harrison Ford's hottest take award.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3744.291

If you don't have one, you don't have one.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3754.243

I went further. Did Chris Guest leave like $200 million on the table?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3759.068

He had this curb, the office, all this stuff. What if he had just gone dog show, TV, sitcom, or HBO? Because HBO's around in 2000.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3778.522

So my only thing with that is I think Cookie and Jerry have to be in it every year. And I think... Agreed. I think Stefan and... Scott. Scott. I think they have to be in it every year. Maybe everyone else changes.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3791.226

Oh, I guess Coolidge and Jane Lynch have to be in it too. That's the thing.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3797.068

Harlan Pepper is just somebody else the next year.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3802.89

But yeah, it does feel like there was... I mean, I'm sure these movies that are right, this movie made 20 million, so it made some money back. But there was some giant TV idea with this world. Yes. All these people he had access to. No question. Casting what ifs couldn't find anybody.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3817.334

So best that guy award. There's a bunch of them in here.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3821.637

The guy who plays Leslie Ward Cabot, who's also blue and old school. I did not know his name. I had to look it up. And he's an all time that guy. His name is Patrick Crenshaw. And I don't know how you top it.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3848.239

I didn't even notice her in that. Oh, shit. That's a good one.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3852.628

And Bob Balaban's Bob Balaban. Yeah. It's like he's not.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3866.152

This movie is all that guy's and that girl's. That is. Because, like, Larry Miller, the one whose son goes on the shed, he's kind of Larry Miller, but he's also a really good that guy.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3875.421

Dan Waiter's a word. Larry Miller's one of them.

The Rewatchables

I'd like to also offer you Leslie Ward Cabot. Even though he doesn't have a line. Harlan's two buddies in Pine Nuts. I was kind of into it. That was my favorite Harlan part.

Parker Posey's husband in this movie we've already mentioned.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3942.466

Wonderful. Will Ferrell is right there.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3945.808

Will Ferrell and Parker Posey together as the Swans.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

3953.434

Oh, he can definitely do that. Yeah, he did that in a show. I think he can do it. He did it in a bunch of the sketches where he had an uptight character he used to play.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4002.441

I already did my flex category, so we got to keep going. Half-assed internet research. Filming took place in Vancouver and L.A. They had to stage their own dog show because no dog show would let them do a dog show.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4014.924

Kind of surprising. I think that's where some of the budget went.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

He gets a little precious sometimes. Fred's character, Buck Laughlin, was based on Joe Garagiola, who was an old baseball announcer from the 80s and 90s and had done the Westminster show. He shot his whole part in a day and a half. was specifically instructed by Christopher Guest not to research dogs in any way and just go completely blind.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

405.677

Deep relationships with my dogs. One of the things I like about this movie is it was pretty early on pet people are great and weird. The internet was in the early stages. It was one of those things. Especially with my dad and my stepmother. My stepmother, they were getting golden retrievers since the mid-80s. They gave them human names. They treated them like kids.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4063.512

The first poodle, first Rhapsody, got fired?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4087.283

Interesting. I should have put Brandy Booth in there. Why didn't I do that?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4095.425

I loved Harlan Pepper. It was just a lot of the same joke.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4103.236

Guess said in the research, Fred Willard makes a joke when the person handles the dog's testicles.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4109.604

But they found out why they do that. Did you know why they do that? Yeah. Because they want to make sure.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4116.453

Apparently some dogs will have one testicle and they get disqualified. So it's got to be double balls. Who knew?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4149.19

Higgins said... He's like a big voice guy and he formed, he forms vocal groups on any movie or TV show he does. And he got a good one going on this with, he said, Jane was the soprano. Catherine was the alto. I sang tenor. Gene did the bass. You get really bored in the set. Higgins just sounds like an MVP. I thought he was great as Letterman. I love The Waitress.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4170.277

That's one of my favorite TV movies. He's awesome in that.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4194.991

I feel like he had the most juice after this. For Fred Willard? Fred Willard's tough because he was on a show in the 70s with Martin Muller that was like a pretty massive comedy hit. Fernwood something.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4212.082

I think if probably at this point if somebody mentions a movie to him it's probably this one. O'Hara, no. But I don't even know what. It's probably Home Alone.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4242.976

Never on SNL. Showed up. They hired a new head writer. The guy was acting like a crazy person and just went back to Toronto. She was in like the second year of Eddie Murphy. John Michael Higgins. Yes. McKeon.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

426.049

They had birthday parties for them. All the stuff Mallory does.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4270.268

I think White Lotus. Is White Lotus or Legally Blonde? She's doing commercials now.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4288.877

you know you do this sometimes but she Coolidge is a rare like maybe there is more than one Apex Mountain because the time gap is so big yeah yeah Stifler's mom was one of the iconic characters and there was even a song about her an alternative song that I forget who did that one but it became not Stacy's mom no somebody had Stifler's mom I thought there was a Stifler song or was that Stacy's mom I think it's Stacy's mom is that about Stifler

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

429.432

I love all of us. They just got a new puppy. It had to have an IE human name because that's what the other seven golden retrievers they've had over 40 years have. And my stepmother, she's super weird. Like she talks to the dogs, makes out with the dogs. You know, not make out, but like the dog's just licking her face.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4317.091

no no i'm mixing but maybe there's a stifler's mom parody set too i thought stifler's mom was in something fred willard we said no dog shows sure maybe i mean i think or the actual westminster dog show roasting a goat definitely am philadelphia 100 terror songs yes pet people movies America Bitch Magazine, yes. Pet People movies, yes.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4354.616

I feel like part of the frustrating thing about her career is that kind of, there was never an Apex Mountain. It was always like, oh, I love Parker Posey. Party girl, house of yes, dazed and confused. Somewhere in the mid-90s, she was the it girl. Yeah. Yeah, somewhere in there.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4370.256

She's pretty great at Days of Confused. Yeah, she is.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4375.197

Man, it's probably somewhere mid-90s. Cruz or Hanks?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4387.34

No, it's Schitt's Creek. Because you also have your kid in the same thing.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4391.66

Yeah, and they're making... You also get credit for that as an apex.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

44.932

We talked about... I had a whole stunt penis conversation last time. That was just a delight.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4414.885

Yeah. So who's the competition for this? Anchorman?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4421.267

Bridesmaids. Yeah, it's a bunch of Apatow movies, probably.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4424.729

I'm trying to think. 80s? Oh, shit. You should have texted that one to me. I would have wanted more time on that question.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4434.443

Oh, yeah. I still don't have an answer to that. Such a great question.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4450.078

Sex Panther. It's like an entire decade of people who either were stars or became stars. Yeah, yeah. It's up there, though. Cruiser Hanks, what do you got?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

448.365

Now that's the only thing they don't do.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

450.926

Even for like warmth out in the winter. They morph into dogs. And I was always like, man, my stepmother, I love her, but she's really weird with the dogs.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4543.853

I love that. I know they had to do it, but it's kind of ridiculous.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4553.156

Can we get room service in here? It's like, you have $34. You're not getting room service. What are we getting? Peanuts?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

459.749

You see a movie like this and you're like, yeah.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4617.059

This is why you're you. I just want to go on the record with Harlan Pepper.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4627.289

High usage rate is my only point. He's the only solo character.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4638.859

He could have seesawed it a little bit. Everyone else is playing off somebody else and he's always just kind of... Yeah, I like that we have a single pet owner there because that relationship is very special.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4649.622

It's a high usage rate. He's getting a couple shots off.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

466.251

Murph. Yeah. He's become more threatening. Well, he's hilarious.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4692.206

Yeah. I'm right over my head. One more pick and knit. Are you sure the Terrier should have won?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4701.132

Can we really get into this? Was that the best dog? Short legs? It's like, whatever.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4726.558

Five-star prospect. Kind of like Lamar Jackson?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4737.116

Hubert won three MVPs but never pulled off the dog show.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4757.29

Yeah, that's fair. I just didn't like that dog the most.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4765.941

He was a year away. He was only two. Not great dog shows ahead of him. sequel prequel prestige tv all black cast are untouchable uh the cookie fleck prequel no my sounds amazing oh yeah the sex the the sex cookie in high school cookie holy shit cookie in like 1982 just running hey girl It's like Fast Times at Ridgemont High multiplied by 80.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4802.231

She made a lot of friends. Is this movie better with Wayne Jenkins, Danny Trejo, Doris Burke, Sam Jackson? No. Byron Mayo, Barney Cousins, Tony Romo, Harley Mays, Chris Collinsworth, Daniel Plainview, Long Legs.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4823.026

one of the commentators that's like i actually have a better option than that though but you guys go

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4831.219

Yeah. Because he hasn't done that much comedy.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4841.725

I was thinking Sam Jackson. Maybe not in this, but in the sequel. But there's a Sam Jackson character that I think would be pretty great.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4851.391

I don't know. We could go. One thing with the dogs in this movie, there weren't enough bigger dogs.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4859.7

I just wish we had... Yeah. Because sometimes they'll have, like, freaking Great Danes and, like, giant ones. Like, I wonder... Yeah. I don't know. I thought Sam could have done good, though.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

488.906

I would wear that hat. But you've never dogged it up though.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4963.534

Do you want me to give you the best actress in a supporting role for that year?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4968.456

Our winner was Marcia Gay Harden in Pollock, which is travesty. Judy Dench in Chocolat.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4982.142

Julie Walters in Billy Elliot. And the person I think should have won, Frances McDormand in Almost Famous.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

4999.294

He knows that I... You'd go with Kate over Frances McDormand?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

502.815

I've had two cats in my life. You're a one relationship with a pet. You could never have two pets.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5035.881

We might have to just do two or three different pods just released all at the same time. Like an alternate broadcast? Yeah.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5043.207

When they have, like, different announcing teams?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5072.28

I've enjoyed a lot of Kate's work. I just thought the mom's amazing in that movie. She's so good. Every moment she's in that movie.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5083.448

Russell Hammond. I'm thinking Fred Willard.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5093.383

For best supporting actor. But I really like the... I like your... That O'Hara take's really good. I almost want to switch my pick.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5101.152

Best actor supporting role that year was Del Toro won for Traffic. Jeff Bridges for The Contender, who's great. Yeah. Who is like the perfect president. Yeah. Willem Dafoe, Shadow the Vampire, Albert Finney, Erin Brockovich. She's really good in that. And then Phoenix and Gladiator, which is a tougher category to crack.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5120.69

I like your... I think Mal's right. I think that's the pick.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5137.894

Well, you also have to do the who else could have played these people game. Right. And I think those are the two that I think are like... I don't think anyone else could do what they do in the movie.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

515.684

We've actually had ringer high level conversations without Mal and them talking. Strategy planning for if anything ever happened to Halo, what would happen to Mal? Like, just what would happen? And we honestly don't know, and she doesn't know either.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5168.367

What was Fred Willard's character's name? Buck Laughlin?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5172.109

Was he one of the first Me Too's, you think? First wave?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5183.674

Posey. So Posey posits this. in the oral history about how she wore all these capes and cloaks and beiges and all the colors that felt and looked like Beatrice as the movie went on. That's what's so fun about the movie is how people are like their dogs and they look like their dogs. And she goes, I mean, Coolidge is like a poodle. Do you believe people start to look like their dogs?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5220.627

Do you think your dogs match your energy? No, but I'm just used to golden retrievers because that's what my dad always had, but I don't know that there's really no other reason.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5252.071

See, little dogs will never have another little dog. I don't like the barker. I don't like the barker.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5257.836

A yipping bark is like a mouth. Goldens are cool. Although we have one of the only like semi-unfriendly goldens ever right now. But COVID dogs.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5270.508

That's true. We comb them. Yeah. The English goldens are a little better.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5284.589

You got to stay on it. Any other problem and answerables for you?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5301.036

Full armada behind her, most money behind her.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5303.958

Christy Cummings, best trainer in the country. Okay.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5344.246

You know, I rewound that a couple of times.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5347.69

It's a borderline nitpick. Cause it's like, it's, she doesn't even trip on anything. Okay.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5396.464

I had a cookie tapes thing, though. I think she was on some tapes. They just weren't music tapes.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5402.711

I think there was some vintage stuff from the 80s that she might have popped in.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5406.892

Couldn't have been more pleased that they're out there. She'd be very proud of it. Some of her best work. There's actually a Moira Rose plotline about that. I love that.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5433.483

350 people like 214 how old was cookie do we think in her 40s 42 43 yeah yeah and how long do we think she'd been with jerry oh it was like eight or ten they met at a dance yeah so early 30s so that gives her about 15 years yeah possibly 15 years yeah go like 50 a year So we're in like the 600 range?

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5465.318

But she's in a small town, though. At some point, you're going to run out of people in the town.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5485.363

Well, it sounds like she had, like, a trick. She had, like, a calling card.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5490.506

The legs behind the head move. She was a memorable sexual encounter.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5496.169

But then, you know, Jerry Fleck took her heart.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5501.992

It's kind of a Casanova himself. Yeah. What piece of memorabilia would you want or not want from this movie? It's clearly Busy B. It has to be Busy B. If I brought Busy B in right now and said I bought it from an auction nine years ago, you'd have a stroke.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5525.758

There's one other thing. The giant framed American Bitch magazine.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5553.939

Coach Finstock Award for Best Life Lesson. I mean, there's a lesson, which is we need more mockumentaries. The life lesson would be, hey, even if you have two left feet, just hope in sight.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5567.008

You never know when you're needed in a dog show.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5576.81

Oh, that's really. Especially going to a dog show. Multiple busy people.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5584.332

We have this wishbone toy for Murph, and we have, like, nine of them. There you go.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5588.235

And sometimes they'll just triple down on the wishbones.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

56.673

Well, Joanne is here. She's in L.A. for a few weeks, which means we can sue her for the rewatchables every once in a while.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5600.003

Because it turns out pets are dumb, and they don't know there's multiple versions of the same.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5610.422

All four of them. I had Guffman in this. I think you go Guffman here.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5633.842

For me, it's Higgins or Willard, but I think it's Willard because he's more known for how good he was in the movie than Higgins is. Higgins is like the stealth, I've seen this movie so many times, choice. But Willard's like, people kind of know this...

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5654.777

All right. Big moment. Producer Craig has missed a couple. He's been traveling. He's busy.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

566.491

I've looked at them. Yeah. Barack Obama. They're more active. Yeah. They're kind of cool.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5744.664

I think you're right. It's a little bit more mature.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5756.311

The only thing I worried about it was whether, because the dog community is so weird and in so many different places on social media now, it's like people have a better handle on it. Have seen this level of weirdness.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

577.217

The one I've always been fascinated by that's always in the dog shows is the Border Collie. Which I'm really surprised they didn't have one in Best of Show. Best in... I keep calling it Best of Show for some reason. Best in Show. Yeah.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5786.567

That's great. Did you have any Rocky thoughts while you're here? I mean, I love Rocky.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5836.407

Maybe, maybe. Well, no, he's making it. It's a fair case that normal people.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5846.314

That's fine. That's fine. But when this movie came out. Absolutely when this movie came out.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

592.051

because of all the commands best in show because of all the commands they're good athletes they're super smart and they're pretty hyper and we looked into getting one once and it's just it's a lot Like they're ready to go. They're ready to like, yo, let's go outside. You got to throw me a ball for like an hour. Let's do this. So that's why I think a lot of them go in. But anyway.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5929.959

But a remake? Well, it's a new movie. Well, it's like in the universe. In the universe.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

5987.503

That guy's the perfect cast for that role. Incredible. All right. That's it for The Rewatchables produced by Craig Horlbeck. You can watch this video on Spotify. You can watch that on The Ringer Movies YouTube channel as well. You can see these two on House of R. Yeah. And on Prestige. That's right. White Lotus as we're taping this. So this will run on Monday.

The Rewatchables

‘Best in Show’ With Bill Simmons, Mallory Rubin, and Joanna Robinson

6005.975

So there have been four episodes heading toward a monster fifth episode on a show we like very much. Thanks, guys. Good to see you.

The Rewatchables

The Rewatchables

Dogs have low self-esteem and they just want to know what you're doing at all times. They're just available.

Cats are like, you're on my terms and I'll decide how this relationship is going to go. Yeah. Anyway, the mockumentary. Yeah. Christopher Guest said, we did an oral history about Best in the Show.

I just mentioned she's here. And I sent her a list. I sent her a list of rewatchables movies, and she mentioned a few of them. One of them, which is Best in Show, a movie that... We all dearly, dearly love.

It's really good. 2020, which I don't remember because, as you know, the vaccine, I don't remember anything from 2020.

Don't remember it. Don't remember anything that happened that year. Christopher Guest said his mockumentary is about people who don't see themselves very clearly. The audience can see something happen that they don't see. They obviously take what they do very seriously, whether it's folk music, dog show, whatever. The world is ripe.

And at the core of all this, when you see characters, Eugene and Catherine play the cookie, Jerry Fleck. It's pretty sad. You know, most of it's sad, actually, if you look at it. So he's fascinated. And these people are... Kind of losers, but they're lovable. And there's a lot of comedy that could come out of this. And he did this for four movies.

There's too many of them. I think there's too many podcasters. The thing with the dog show world is it is such a limited, weird world. In the last 25 years, the Westminster, I think, became a bigger cable outlet. And you watch and you're like... Man, these people seem weird.

He also said he talks about the connection he makes with music and improvising because he's a big musician. I look at this as a band with great musicians. I mean, everyone has to be able to hold up their part. You cannot have a weak link in that. The whole thing falls apart. So he's really careful about who's in these movies. The sad thing for me is that there aren't more of them.

And some of them have worked better than others, but I almost don't know why it ended.

It wasn't maybe, so maybe it petered out, you know?

I think Larry David and Christopher Guest were more on each other's corner than people realized. And Curb kind of became the TV outlet of this kind of stuff. And it was more built around Larry's universe. But all the characters and the way they structured that show, the outline was a little deeper, but it was a lot of improv. And it was a lot of people like, you're in this situation, this happens.

And a lot of the recurring characters, like Richard Lewis was basically the Eugene Levy, right? Jeff Garlin is whoever. And so he would have his eight to 10 people. year after year, and then J.B. Smoove entered the cast, and I just feel like that was kind of the cousin of this movie.

Was I in L.A. that year? I don't remember. What happened?

Even beyond how they write down every single scene and every single bit and they put it all structurally and then they just start chipping away at it like it's a jigsaw puzzle. Yeah. It's really interesting.

It's the opposite of our strategy where we just have long podcasts and we don't edit anything.

It's a shot at all of our pods, including this one. We don't do any editing. Christopher Guest slaving away for a year to get a 90-minute movie. It probably could have been... Like there's this whole, there's a whole Parker Posey just get stoned.

There's a lot of movie makers who had this philosophy.

that they're like, look, this is the finished product. If I offer you stuff we didn't decide should be in the movie, it's going to taint how you see the movie. There's a reason it's not in the movie. So just watch this.
