    Hearing him complain about Marcus and Draymond during that anecdote almost made me forget we’re not supposed to call players by their first name.

    joey jo-jo jr shabadoo you know for me, the action is the juice

    would not have guessed that a random draymond and 1 call in the first quarter was going to be the call that changed the game

    Now that he’s been going to these games courtside there should’ve been a “something you could only tell in person” space since he acts like TV coverage is still from the 80s instead of in high definition where we see everything

    Just got to that section and nearly choked on my lunch. Holy shit that was funny. I think the 2 second pause from Bill was him not initially realizing his original “cousin producing the podcast” remark hit close to home and he didn’t even realize it.

    I love the RR is comfortable enough with Bill now to take little jabs at Bill. Half the time Bill doesn’t even get the joke.

    Apparently it's a reference to the shape of the bowl and why the stadium is as loud as it is for being relatively small, which again I've never heard anyone say

    For Comedies:

    Pineapple Express
    Meet The Parents
    Jump Street

    How have they never done Dumb and Dumber? or other Jim Carey movies, like Liar Liar? or Sandler movies?

    Meet the Parents is a great one. Pineapple Express is a lesser member of the Apatow/Rogen canon; glad they're doing Knocked Up first. Bill mentioned on the new category selection pod that they need to do Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

    Catch Me If You Can is the hill I'm willing to die on wrt The Rewatchables.

    I'd love to see The Prestige, Steve Jobs (the Fassbender one), and Whiplash.

    It's insane that they haven't done a View Askew movie (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay & Silent Bob, Clerks 2) but it might belong better on The Big Picture when you can talk about all of them.

    just give me Sean and Chris on Clerks and I'm good for a while. Clerks is 1) hilarious and 2) important, so the conversation on the pod would expand beyond just the movie and to the influence of Smith, nerd culture, new filmmakers, etc.

    i credit clerks with helping me understand that there are great movies beyond 'summer blockbuster' types. i saw it at a very young age for its content but i loved a dialogue-driven black-and-white film and it was very different from anything else that would've been my favorite movie before then. it literally opened my eyes to entirely new genres.

    clerks!
