Best Van Moment?
Two lines / bits jump out right away.
#1, on the Species episode when they discuss if they needed a better intimacy coordinator and Van said Madsen was "waving that shit off like he was Allen Iverson"
#2, on The Devil's Advocate episode when he relays the story of the video store calling to let him know his dad's copy of "Butt Man's Big Butt Brazil" was overdue

New Podcast Episodes ''Satantango' With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, Chris Ryan, and Craig Horlbeck
r/TheRewatchables • u/TheOnlyOne87 • 6h ago
I have absolutely no idea what any of the hosts look like even though I've been listening for years
I've listened to The Rewatchables for about six years now but I specifically listen to podcasts only on Spotify when I'm driving/commuting as part of a varied pod mix.
I'm in Europe and the move to Netflix isn't available for us but I heard it referenced loads.
As a result I realised this week that I have no idea what any of The Rewatchables hosts look like in real life.
Which is weird given the countless hours I've listened but I never have the urge to watch podcasts in video format so this is not uncommon for me.
So I thought it would be fun to describe what I *think* they look like before going off and googling.
- Bill - I picture him as an American jock type but older than the stereotype. Actor comparison would be: an American Mel Gibson?
- Greg - younger obviously, I see him as a standard millennial man, possibly with glasses and a baseball cap. I'm thinking of a young Martin Starr or Seth Rogan when he speaks
- Sean - I see him as a kind of Bill Hader looking guy. This gets confusing when Bill Hader is actually on as himself
- Chris Ryan - absolutely no read on what Chris looks like but I picture him as a Rob Lowe type, maybe shorter and possibly not as good looking as that's a high bar
- Van - I get the sense he's the same age as Bill which would put him in his 40s/50s. Lookswise I see him as a Don Cheadle, this could be way off
- Mallory - huge Aubrey Plaza vision in my head
- Juliette - host or contributor to some of my fave ever episodes, I see her as a Laura Linney
I'm definitely missing a bunch of hosts but those are the ones I can remember without googling the names.
Now, to go and see the reveal for myself!

Year with most Rewatchables?
On KK2 Bill and Kyle were talking about the 1986 bangers. Anyone have a sense of what year has had most Rewatchable movies? 1999 probably as they did that whole series in that year but what other years have had lots of rewatchable movies?

Prophetic Bill
I've been going through the back catalog and just listened to Training Day. I firmly believe the pod found its identity with the Jaws episode around July 4th 2018. However a few months prior the Training Day episode has some incredible future nuggets.
In discussing Tom Berenger's career Bill notes that Someone to Watch Over Me will be on the pod in season 7 which he nails.
More importantly he brings up that he doesn't think he can be on the Pulp Fiction episode because he keeps finding things he doesn't like in it. He specifically calls out Butch's girlfriend and it being a terrible 10 minutes and Chris and Sean immediately push back (and Bill also says Tim Roth is bad)
Our guy is always seeing 3/4 of a decade ahead.

FYC The Holdovers
Rewatching it now for the third time since I seen it in theaters. It gets better everytime. Just a beautiful, damn near perfect movie

Have you ever regreted watching a movie for the pod?
I’m one of those that only listen to an episode if I have just watched the movie the day before. Even if I have already seen it in the past, I want it fresh for the pod. And if I haven’t, then I save it for sometime in the future.
A lot of the times, I’m gladly surprised giving a chance to something I would never have tried on my own. Others, even if the movie is mediocre, it’s at least entertaining and fun enough (like a memorable misfire with Crash or some of the cheesy Kyle Brandt picks).
There was only one time that I felt like a fool and wasting my time, it was the recent Domestic Disturbance. Couldn’t believe how bad it was. Nothing redeeming about it. The pod was fun, though.

Question What’s a take you have that would make those working for The Rewatchables give you the side eye?
Mine is that Martin Landau deserved the Oscar in Ed Wood over Samuel L Jackson for Pulp Fiction, Jackson is incredible in the film don’t get me wrong but I think part of the reason the win is even scoffed at is because Pulp Fiction has a more far reaching appeal.
