I had never seen "Saturday Night Fever" from start to finish. I knew the famous opening and dance scenes, I remember clips from cable, but never sat through the movie. A few weeks ago, I listened to the Rewachables Podcast for it on the train. About a week after that, my wife was watching it, so I finally saw it.

How is it a Rewatchable? Does everyone just forget about the last 10 minutes and remember the dance scenes? Did more people see the PG cut than dd the R cut? I'd argue it's a more depressing movie than "Requiem for a Dream."

It'd fit right in with Rock Bottom Month.

"All you need is a salad bowl and a potato masher and you got your shit together." It's pretty bad.

It’s raining frogs in the studio as Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey rewatch the 1999 film ‘Magnolia,’ starring Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Julianne Moore and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

I'm guessing this is just a re-broadcast from the 1999 movies podcast?

New @TheRewatchables — ‘Risky Business’ with me, @ChrisRyan77 and Guido the Killer Pimp. Our 14th Tom Cruise movie and the one that turned him into a star. Listen to this pod right away even if you have a trig midterm tomorrow.

Just circling back to note that this one was very good. Lots of sweet spots for Bill and Chris: Cruise, 80s sex comedies,, a director with a huge “what-if?” career. Enjoyed this a lot.

Not that every frame of the movie isn't burned into my memory, but this afternoon I'm using tonight's pod as an excuse to fire up The Running Man.

The Rewatchables and 60 Songs that Explain the 90s have been my go-to lawn mowing podcasts for the past few years. And The Running Man is one of my all-time faves. So I'm verrry excited to mow the lawn this weekend.

The Ringer’s Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey threw up 19 times in 48 days after revisiting the 2004 romantic comedy ‘Along Came Polly,’ starring Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

The Running Man was great. Kyle Brandt was really on his game for that one.

I caught up on the Forrest Gump and The Fugitive eps on a long drive this weekend. Man oh man, both were great and completely hysterical.

I may have laughed for 3 minutes straight when CR dropped "Find this man! And someone feed my cat! His name is Tickles." during the Picking Nits portion of The Fugitive.
