Seems really simple but Wesley Morris is really good at asking people "Why?" In this pod it's usually just after someone says something that they loved about it and he genuinely wants to know what parts in movies people are lured towards and what makes them that way

Bill dressed like he's a guide at a safari park

So glad The Ringer is finally doing video pods like the Grantland days

Great idea to do this and Gone Girl rewatchables so close together. Crazy about the alternative ending.

Does anybody else watch the movie they're doing just so you can listen to the podcast?

Glenn Close low key is one of the greatest actresses of all time. I remember her guest starring on The West Wing and she stole every scene she was in, which is something considering the amazing cast they had. Tremendous presence.

Wesley Morris looks and acts just like I imagined. I love his energy, it really gives power to his takes.

Wish Wesley was still at The Ringer. His chemistry with Bill, Mallory, Sean and Chris is off the charts. Say what you will about Simmons - guy is amazing at finding talent.

"The Rewatchables" is officially one of my favorite podcasts! ....top 3, really.

Great series of podcasts, but I do struggle with Wesley's incomplete sentences. Thank you for all the insight.

Wesley is the best, please have him on the show more. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

This may be my favorite trio for these Rewatchables. Yall are great together. Please do more Rewatchables!

Love ya’ll so so so much! Just now figured out I could watch the rewatchables… great hang, always!!! 💚

This is the best trio. Please rehire Wesley yesterday

Wesley talks sooooo much. Holy hell.

Wesley Morris is tremendously entertaining and has great insight into these movies. No offense to anyone else, he brings something to these podcasts that the rest of the ringer heavyweights just don’t have.

Bill's Sally Field take reminds me that we are the exact same age. Damn crush does not describe how I felt about Sally Field in 1977.

Wonderful, amusing, insightful discussion!

wait...Tony Scott and Ridley Scott were brothers...???!!!???

How many times does Wesley touch Mallory's shoulder? I counted like at least seven. (Not a complaint but an observation)

The original ending of this movie didn’t provide the “Bang‼️” the story had built. It was a certainly more nuanced conclusion but the ending we see is what further sells the movie.

Bill, to Mallory: ' Would you want to make out with Michael Douglas?' Wesley: 'Yes! Yes!'

I just watched this movie for the first time :)

A quote “Take control of your life and make him accountable”

I love Mal so much. V jealous of the team BS has put together over the years.

Very enjoyable!

Can you do a video ranking all of the from Hell Thrillers. Unlawful entry. Hand that rocks the cradle. Pacific Heights. The temp

You were sad when Wilkes dies in Misery? I cheered. She hobbled James Caan and shot Richard Farnsworth. Her character was a monster.

I didn’t even realize Wesley’s point until he said it - there’s no more sex in movies. I thought it was just the MCU like Sean & Chris talked about a few months ago. But it’s all movies. More violence, no lovin’. Weird.

At 1:39:41, Bill foreshadows the PARAMOUNT + tv version of this movie. Somebody might owe his check!!

I'm sure, Dan and Beth shared this with their therapist! LOL! I haven't watched this movie for awhile.

Bradley Cooper could be the new Michael Douglas very easily. He's the right age now. Also, this chick's potty mouth is a riot. She reminds me of Deb on Dexter 😂

Madam Glenn was ROCKIN that tan!!!! She went from Garps mom in the white nursing dress to MEGA VIXEN! All those half covered by sheets and tastefully braless scenes still register a 7.8 on the Richter scale. she was radiating sexy off the screen. Also, Jaws... Brilliant

This was really fun. Wesley dominates the conversation a bit much, but what he says is really interesting and he brings up a lot of really good points.

Anne Archer screen tested for Lois Lane in the 78 Superman movie.

“Michael Douglas never had parents in any of his movies” The Game.

What's funny is that this entire film is the result of an umbrella not opening.

Can you do the 1991 A Kiss Before Dying with Matt Dillon and Sean Young It Is by James Dearborn too

I just found a similarity to the spaghetti scenes: He gives the rest of the spaghetti to his dog. And if you consider: He sees Alex as a lapdog....in some way. She's good in bed but nothing more. And she shouldn't talk. Just like his dog.

Wesley so handsome

Wesley Morris should be a mandatory host from here on out.

I have confirmed after speaking to the producers of this movie that they are remaking it they denied it at first but then admitted it later

Please do Wall Street on this show

Also Wesley's whole thing about Glenn Close's "zest for life" - I always just assumed she was manic-depressive and that was her manic phase.

The beginning of the movie hints at some complexities that are completely dropped in favor of cheap violence at the end. I think the could have been so much more than what it became at the end. It also didn't do the character of Alex Forrest any injustice in the end. The writing quality completely falls apart.

2019: “could this be a 10-episode tv series?” 2023: it’s an 8-episode meh Paramount series

Bill listed his favorite females. Ann Archer and Mallory make the list but he doesn't mention his mother.

I would love to see a critique of "James Gandolfini vs. Michael Douglass" as imperiled American male.

Well I know who’s the winner of this episode. Wes is fully interested and just goes Dion Waiters white hot 🔥 ...except for his Gone Girl slander

I wish I was amped as Wesley.... he talks like Dee Snider lol

Wesley your rankings were off Glenn close was number 1 for maybe a two-year period in the 1980s where Meryl has been number one through almost every year the last 35 years

Richard Gere was also offered, but he turned it down.

Will had great guns

Glenn Close was already a star prior to Fatal Attraction

Please do Play Misty For Me!!!!!!!

Wesley Morris is Black and Brolic!!! 😱😱😱

Mallory can you please watch Jagged Edge and make a review of it thank you

Poor Glenn Close. Overshadowed by Meryl Streep her whole career. Glenn is an amazing talent.

Christopher Reeve messed up passing up on this and Lethal Weapon. His career would’ve took it to the next level.

Can't take my eyes off Wesley's biceps.

Thanks for correction of director Adrian Lyne's last name (pronouncd "line"). Frustrating that people who mispronounce it just aren't old enough to have heard his name all the time back then...like me. ;)

I want to listen to this......but I cannot listen to Wes any longer

Please do Starship Troopers!

Adrian Lyne --- pretty sure it's pronounced line

I think Jude law late career, but I’d say Ben affleck is closest to Michael Douglas...

Jason Clarke's entire career is Put-upon American Man. But he's not a star, so he can't lead your movie. He could be the lead in a TV series.

I love Bill dearly. I understand he has to ref the pod. I also get that they want to have pod at most the same length of the film they're discussing. When Wesley Morris is on there should be an exception though. Let that man talk all he wants because he is pure money.

This movie doesn't happen in 2022 because Feminist would whine that it made a woman look bad and the left in general would complain about something. Glenn Close should've beaten Cher at the Oscars that year.

Wes, this is not a history of cinema class you are teaching, relax and let others actually talk about the movie.

Viggo Mortenson could do Douglas stuff now

Glenn Close was perfect casting. At no point does it enter my mind that maybe he should divorce his wife to be with her. I don’t mean that to disparage Glenn. It’s just what it is which heightens everything

Cujo: The Dog from Hell, Christine: The car from hell, Maximum Overdrive: The Machines from Hell, Terminator 2, the Robots from hell...., Alien: The Um......Alien for Outer space aka hell......; Devils AdvocateAngel Heart: The Satan from Hell.

The original ending sucked; I'm glad they changed it 💯

Not as good as the OC Play Misty For ME.

You can't have these two in the traditional format. They are too good. You just have to let them go... Looser outline.

He looks for rings on men he means ?

Clearly wesley thinks he is gettinh paid by the wird here too. Dude just talks abd talks without saying anything

What’s up with the whole meal sex scene things always in rewatchables. She’s like obsessed with them.

The gay guy really loves the sound of his own voice.

Can't understand the Anne Archer worship. She's such a cutesy, stuffy-nosed, Keds-wearing, frizzy-permed, bleary-eyed soccer mom...who finds that "sexy"? She was born to make toddlers PB&J and to be pleasantly scandalized by her husband's lame jokes about his coworker's sex injury - "you guys are so baaaad!" UTTERLY unsexy...which is maybe what does it for some people.

She is so in love with Bill, it s ridiculous.

REMBER THE FREAKING TITANS!!!!!!! JESUS

Inherent misogyny? She slits her wrists for attention, chucks acid at the guy's car, kills and cooks the rabbit, tries to kill the wife in the bathtub, and she's the victim?

2 hours of Wesley..no thanks

Why does the gay dude keep touching the lady's shoulder? It's weird.

first good episode. Mr. Morris brought fire to the conversation. I'm going to say what every single person hearing this episode and everyone on the panel regarded the single most cringe moment. When the guy here admitted to letting his young daughter watch this film. That kid is scarred for life. No i'm not being flippant. To say the blatantly obvious that's not responsible parenting, in the slightest. So dad is a write-off, that's clear. The big question is where's mom when her daughter is being allowed to watch this horror movie? Prior to this revelation the host was just someone with a critically short supply of testosterone. It's a whole other ball of wax now. Dude you have to get a clue. Parenting classes for you and your lucky wife, at the very very least. Your daughter deserves far better.

The other guy talks too much during pod. Interupts Mal a bit. His touchiness made me a bit uncomfortable since she is married. (Constructive criticism.)

Wesley is the worst.

Pls dump Wes. Terrible takes.

Really tired of her talking about the animals in every movie. The pets are props / symbols in these movies, not characters. This is not Benji.
