So I came on here to say Waking Life is a like top 5 movie for me. I think about it probably every day, rewatch it a few times a year. I'm an artist and I've always been fascinated by Rotoscoping, as well as Dreams and Philosophy...so this movie is just perfect for me. This got me into Philip K Dick really, and lucid Dreaming, and I just have found this movie enthralling since I saw it probaby twenty years ago. Love Big Picture, Love Movies, love Rewatchables! ❤
I love WL, too. I used to put it on all of the time, especially during moments of great stress or anxiety and it weirdly helped ground me. I’ve probably seen it about a dozen times. Been a while, though. Might be time
"Inning by Inning" is one of the best low key Tribute/Philosophical sports docs ever made. Richard clearly idolizes Augie and takes you through his career and mentoring coach history quickly and quietly. What it sits on is his steadfast dedication to being present and aware of yourself, your teammates, and every opportunity that is presented to a player during a game. It's incredible. I get the feeling you guys didn't bother to watch it. Otherwise you would have mentioned that Matthew McConaughey gives a pep talk to the UT team half way through. And it's as Matthew as you think it could ever be.
This is my time to shine: The Rock tweeting about bin Laden was covered in an episode of The Newsroom. The Rock apparently had a cousin in the Navy Seals which is how he got the info early. I would like to take this moment to pitch A Mission to Civilize: The Newsroom 10 Years On.
Free Ep idea: ideal transatlantic plane ride 3 movie setlist. Just did a Before Sunrise (only Linklater on the plane + flying from Europe wanted some more wistful vibes) , A Star is Born (the opening, wanted to get cozy for some sleep), into AmbuLAnce (to wake back up and remind me what the USA is all about) Alternatively: what your 3 movie plane setlist says about you
I thought I've seen a lot of Linklater and I have but wasn't aware of how many movies he has made, so I got some work to do. Apollo I agree is criminally underrated, prob because it came and went on netflix.
I wasn’t too big on Everybody Wants Some but I agree with the rest of the picks (haven’t seen Hit Man yet because theaters in Utah aren’t playing it, fuck you Netflix). I think Slacker, Dazed and Confused, the Before Trilogy, School of Rock, and Boyhood undeniably deserve spots in the hall of fame, the rest is up to personal choice. I’d definitely go Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly, and then Bernie, or maybe Hit Man depending on how I feel about that one when I see it.
It might not exist, but I know what Sean's pointing at when he talks about Linklater's potential 'Shield of chill' in interviews. Always consistently chill, but it's suspicious because it seems inhuman for a director to be that laid back and successful.
It should’ve been Waking Life! Any of those three over Hit Man, though, tbh. But Waking Life over Scanner Darkly. And I love PKD. Scanner Darkly was the first book of this that I read. But it kind of misses imo. In rewatch it was better than I remember, though. Great cast, too. Waking Life is amazing and a work of art.
“Dorm Room Boys” sounds like it should be the name of the next indie alt band and Bernie is a great film with the only Jack Black watchable performance 🎤
I want it on The Rewatchables in the worst way. It’s so good, and Linklater somehow nailed the casting of future big names in movies and TV a second time, after Dazed.
@@ryanmarshall3487here's where you're wrong: the movie is EIGHT years old now and Wyatt Russell and Glen Powell are still far from household names. Powell might finally be catching on, we'll see how The Hitman fares, but Russell is still niche as can be if you don't watch superhero movies. I just don't think the guy has it if it hasn't happened in a BIG way for him yet despite all the breaks he catches. You compare it to Dazed where there were myriad examples of actors becoming A-list stars just a year or two removed from that film. It's actually shocking how much Linklater MISSED with Everybody Wants Some considering how large the cast is.
@@mikecat6291I this Linklater perfectly hit on the cast. I don’t care about what the original point was, casts shouldn’t be judged off of if people become stars after or not. The casting within the movie is perfect
One day I'll write something on what bugs me about The Watch and The Big Picture... and The Ringer in general. But this is like watching accountants talk about movies.
I can't believe how ho hum you all were about A Scanner Darkly, one of the only Philip K Dick adaptations that was as extraordinary and transcendent as the book. Amanda trying to give this a red when I'm sure she hasn't done more than watch a few clips is why she's so grating in these discussions. She puts more energy into trying to work her eight-hundredth reference to the godawful Sound of Music into the convo.
As someone who is basically only a Millenial because of a January birthday, this was the first time I ever felt a generational divide with a room full of Gen Xers.
Yes Gen Xers are so out of touch that the entire media landscape you exist in right now was born solely from our youth in the 80s. That's how much of an impact we made on the culture. What has YOUR generation done for us?
The chemistry between the 3 of them is spectacular
The Ringer: Let's add Van Lathan to make it god awful terrible
You're spectacular
@@thewilliams714Van is great. Shame you aren't a fan!

Great conversation about my favorite Director ❤
Good pick. Good pick.
this is how i found out bobby isn't even in the studio with them. i had it in my head that he was the one-person audience watching them for two hours.
Pretty sure Bobby lives in New York, hence his diehard Mets fandom!
As a Houston kid of the 90s and 00s, Boyhood is the one for me. Special shout out to Apollo 10 1/2
same here. boyhood was like watching my own childhood.
i love this pod, and The Watch
A watch along with these 3 on video would be so fun.
Great excuse for me to go back and rewatch some of my favorite works of his.
Bernie rules and is highly underrated.

I hope Glen Powell is listening
Powell is definitely a big pic guy

Good idea
This pod turned into a Linklater movie by this time! 46:28
47:00...BP 2024 Quote of the year nominee as only CR can do it
Grew up with school of rock it’s pressure
I thought I've seen a lot of Linklater and I have but wasn't aware of how many movies he has made, so I got some work to do. Apollo I agree is criminally underrated, prob because it came and went on netflix.
Really glad we finally have video so we can see all the cluttered sports posters leaning up against the curtains in CR’s mom’s bonus room
School of Rock……..these guys are amazing ❤
The Big Three!
I was listening to CR back then, everyone else is new to me 1:24:28

A Scanner Darkly is rad
Make Chris a regular!
When they were talking about Edward Norton, my brain heard Edward Furlong so i was really confused for a while 😂

the CR political pod must happen. I'm done with the jokes. Give us JMO! WE NEED IT!
I'm always shocked how tuned into everyday politics he is. Where does he find the time between carrying the entire Ringer network on his back?
What Patreon do I need to subscribe at to get the color theory pod with these 3?
1:32:12....another good one from CR

Will not tolerate the lukewarm feelings about School of Rock. Old out of touch gen Xers
As someone who is basically only a Millenial because of a January birthday, this was the first time I ever felt a generational divide with a room full of Gen Xers.
exactly, one of linklater's goddamn best
Yeah, with their annoying opinions...
Yes Gen Xers are so out of touch that the entire media landscape you exist in right now was born solely from our youth in the 80s. That's how much of an impact we made on the culture. What has YOUR generation done for us?
If that’s not in the top 10 then the list is invalid. Snob Behaviour.
I’m also not sure if I have a crush on Mandy or Mallory!?
Hit Man is fun
More Bobby
Did not invent 6 stars! Listen to the Film Junk podcast people!

It's her acid wit and the fact that she knows how to dress
Settle down. You're talking about Knox's mom here. That said, Knox's mom has got it goin' on. 😊
