Stallone trying to win an Oscar gaining weight and playing a half deaf guy. Someone thinking Michael Rappaport was a movie star. It’s in his wheelhouse.
If you thought BS was horny talking about Alexandra Daddario and Sydney Sweeney, wait til he sees this
Just listened to bill’s silly future of everything chat with Derek Thompson and his take is that we are at peak conspiracy theory releasing into this election and his evidence is what he’s seeing on the Reddit conspiracy theory feed.
listened to a good chunk of it last night....I will say it was kinda interesting to hear the Gen Y and Z guys talk about it but without Fennessey or CR...hell even Van dropping their knowledge and input, it was hard for me to stay engaged with the guys who were between the ages of 10-22 in 2004
No idea if that’s accurate. But more likely that bill just hates doing newer comedies and wants to punt on doing these types of pods.
Don’t have any affinity for these fantasy football bros. But rather have guys who enjoy the movie do the pod
Haven’t had a chance to listen but it’s one of the movies I’ve wanted them to do the most but am pretty disappointed it’s not three of Bill, Sean, Chris or Van.
Already know where Bill is going with his AFC East predictions: he is going to chop down Miami and the Jets because he thinks Pats can be frisky and finish above them in the standings. "Who has the 2nd best QB in the AFC East?!?! Is it the Pats?!?!"
I think they just made all the Boston sports movies already. if you told me bill actually wrote Hustle it would make a ton of sense bc Cruz ends up on the Celtics and the 6ers look foolish.
Yes, this was like 20+ years ago when he moved to LA with Kimmel. He would passively aggressively allude to it and his gripes with Hollywood in old columns.
In the bustling streets of Boston, Bill Simmons (played by himself) is a die-hard sports columnist who lives and breathes basketball. His life revolves around analyzing stats, debating the greatest teams, and reminiscing about the glory days of the NBA. But there’s one thing missing: love. Enter Kelly (portrayed by Kelly Preston, of course), a talented chef with a passion for Italian cuisine. She runs a cozy little trattoria near the Boston Garden, where she whips up lasagna that could rival Larry Bird’s jump shot. Her eyes sparkle like championship rings, and her smile? Well, it’s a three-pointer from half-court. Bill, perpetually clad in Celtics gear, stumbles into Kelly’s restaurant one rainy evening after a heated debate about whether the '86 Celtics were better than the ‘96 Bulls. He orders a plate of lasagna, and sparks fly as he takes the first bite. The marinara sauce dances on his taste buds like a fast break, and the layers of pasta remind him of the Celtics’ depth chart. Kelly, intrigued by this passionate sports aficionado, challenges Bill to a game of one-on-one. Winner gets the last piece of lasagna. As they dribble down the court, their chemistry sizzles hotter than a Larry Bird-McHale pick-and-roll. Bill’s heart races faster than a fast break, and Kelly’s laughter echoes through the empty arena. But there’s a twist: the '86 Celtics, led by Bill Walton (cameo by Bill Walton himself), come out of retirement for a charity game. The stakes are high—the winner gets the coveted lasagna recipe. Bill Simmons, now torn between love and basketball, must choose: Does he go for the slam dunk romance or the ultimate sports scoop? As the final buzzer sounds, Bill faces a decision. Does he write the column that could make his career, exposing the secret ingredient in Kelly’s lasagna? Or does he follow his heart, realizing that love is the ultimate championship ring?
a psychological thriller where the fans of the Memphis Grizzlies all simultaneously experience the grief of MLK's assassination as the Grizz drop game 3 of a 1-1 playoff series
somehow even though the movie takes place entirely at a Grizzlies game, Heather Graham and Michelle Pfeiffer are both in it and have nude scenes
A genius 3 time winner of the league of dorks is hired by David Stern as the czar of common sense in sports and is so good at it Michelle Pfeffer and Ellen Barkin vie for his affection and he market corrects an in his prime Ben Affleck.
It's the same take everyone had about Tatum all playoffs. He's a really good player who couldn't make a jump shot the entire postseason. And Bill would agree with that take after games without realizing it, and then immediately yell at clouds because other people would point it out. And then "he just won the title" meant none of it happened.
We are living in a vibe shift so profound that I dare contemplate LeBron literally being an owner of the Celtics and the pain it would cause Bill
Lebron (with or without FSG behind him) is a mortal lock for the Vegas team. He ain’t buying 2% of the Celtics, he’s buying 10-20% of Vegas.
