Just want to say you guys are making my movie watching decisions so easy when you do films like this. Please keep these under the radar classics coming!
It's my favorite DePalma movie. He goes for it in every area - the Hitchcock elements, the cheesiness, the perversions, the ridiculousness, the suspense, the craftsmanship and ideas, the industry and filmmaking insights - it is just really enjoyable from start to finish. It only gets a little generic in the resolution, but he still has a few cool moments like the credits sequence to finish it off. It is his most fun, layered, and brilliant movie.
@@mjwbulich Okay, but this is proper, weird De Palma and not hired gun De Palma. He's not coloring within the lines on this one. Blow Out and Body Double are more signature De Palma movies than the Untouchables and MI, as much as I love those genre movies. Honestly, I've never cared for Scarface or Carlito's Way. I think they have too many bro fans for me to enjoy them. Give me Dressed to Kill or Raising Cain. Full on psychosexual stuff.
55:10 Mulholland Drive has an insane version of the "walking in to your room and your girl/wife is cheating on you" where it's Billy Ray Cyrus and Justin Theroux follows it up by throwing pink paint all over his wife's jewelry
I know they'll probably never do this movie on The Rewatchables because Bill does not strike me as a Lynch person at all (I suppose theoretically it could be one of the rare Sean-CR ones or something though), but it is truly a masterpiece. That scene is classic Lynch absurdism at its funniest.
Curtis Hanson (director of "L.A. Confidential") did a film called "The Bedroom Window" starring Steve Guttenberg 3 years after "Body Double" which would make for a good double feature with this film. Guttenberg could've possibly been a good alternative casting what-if here for the Wasson role, but it's nearly impossible to imagine someone else in the role. "Police Academy" came out the same year as "Body Double", so Guttenberg's image wasn't synonymous with the Mahoney character yet at the time.
theres an incredible irony in a movie called BODY DOUBLE to have one of the more important roles of the story (even if not a ton of screen time) have all of their dialog replaced with another actress, but that we didn't even know til now
Grew up in Orange County, CA in the mid 80s. Was a sophomore in high school when Frankie Goes to Hollywood became a thing. It seemed like overnight half the girls in my high school were wearing "Frankie Says RELAX" t-shirts, oversize white shirts with large black font. This was either right before, or right after they were all wearing "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" t-shirts with day-glo font. Had no idea at the time that Frankie Goes to Hollywood was a gay band (or Wham for that matter), and only had a vague idea what the lyric "When you wanna come" even meant. As for Bill, Sean, and Chris, surprised nobody name-checked Frankie's "Two Tribes" which was a pretty big modern rock single on KROQ after Relax.
I love this movie. My dad took me to see this when I was 14 back in 84. I forgot about it until recently, and I decided to rent it a couple weeks ago. The nostalgia hit me hard. The story does have flaws, with its convenient set ups, and the abrupt ending. However, there is something about the movie that is just magical. It feels like a fever dream. It’s beautifully filmed, and the soundtrack is just as beautiful as the movie. From an artistic standpoint, I consider it a borderline masterpiece..
I'm pretty disappointed that Chris has seemingly retired Wayne Jenkins... Some may think it's played, but I look forward to it every week, and I hope he brings it back. CR as Wayne Jenkins never fails to make me laugh.
1:35:30 Simmons! 😂I was listening to it driving (not watching!) and I had to pull over cause I could not stop laughing. When talking about walking in on someone riding, 8 mile when Eminem walks in on her mom riding Michael Shannon
Just watched this because I saw Sean had watched it on Letterboxd and I’d only seen Carrie, Scarface and Carlitos way by de Palma so I figured it was time to give it a shot. Well worth it. The ending kind of sucks but works anyway. Love the first half.
I've been listening for years but have never seen any of their faces. They look like actors playing the versions of how i imagined them in a showtime bio mini series. My minds blown.
Are they forgetting De Palma did the first "Mission: Impossible" film with Tom Cruise? That should've been in the conversation. It's not his BEST film, in my opinion, but it is his highest grossing film at the box office.
This is one I’d hoped you guys would do for a long time. De Palma is a top 10 director. Movies to do: A Knight’s Tale(Favorite Movie of All Time.) In Bruges Election Phantom Thread Carlito’s Way Smokey And the Bandit Zoolander The Thing American Psycho Raising Arizona Everybody Wants Some!!! The Prestige Jackie Brown A Fish Called Wanda
@@mjwbulich Gattaca is not hard sci-fi like you can imagine everything in that movie happening. Its about the human will to overcome discrimination and what it costs you to achieve something beyond your physical gifts.
You guys missed a good apex mountain and that is “Is this apex mountain for guys named Jake Scully?” The answer is of course no, that’s the Avatar movies haha.
Sooo I need to know what happened in Terrifier 3 that brings the question for why we can’t have actors fuck on camera?? I refuse to watch that movie so I need details
I can totally see it reversed with Cruise in the Wasson role and Hanks as Sam. Hanks plays it more methodically and manipulatively and I can sew him doing that. Cruise plays his role like the nervous student from Risky Business. No heroics from Cruise and Hanks plays against type as the villain and those could have been a couple of memorable roles.
There's 2 Golan-Globus Cannon films documentaries that both came out in 2014 that he could be referring to. "Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films" or "The Go-Go Boys: The Inside Story of Cannon Films."
Body Double is competing against Amadeus in 1984, Out of Africa is 1985. Amadeus might be the best movie of the '80s so I'm going to go ahead and say De Palma loses that one. In any case, we don't need De Palma to win oscars, he's an outsider. He's transgressive. The Longlegs bit, on the porn set, killed me.
This movie is not good. Can't believe it was chosen for rewatchables... That said the banter is great and love pushing professional boundaries. Haha awkward. #bill'staste??
This movie sucks. It's so stupid. The woman is killed at a traffic stop five feet away from a cop? Then it ends with a call back so obvious and forced it literally replays the same scene. The acting is so wooden and forced. It's just a bad film all around. Even the sound editing is bad.
“He’s my number1 pervert, guy who I think are really cranking it.”
Sean Fennessy, first minute of the pod.
I didn’t know that actor’s name but I knew exactly who they were talking about.
Just want to say you guys are making my movie watching decisions so easy when you do films like this. Please keep these under the radar classics coming!
Bill's Longlegs and Nell has taken the Wayne Jenkins spot 😂😂
the GOAT Barbara Crampton. She barely has any screen time but makes the most of it with incredible efficiency. The advanced analytics love her
Last 15 minutes go wild in this pod!
I need to watch Longlegs now.
...
Maybe Nell too.
Absolutely insane pod. One of the best eps ever
The ringers Big 3- had to stop, rewind and rewatch you guys bursting in laughter. Great pod, laughs all around.
Great Christian low IQ humor
1:33:04 LMAO I hope the Longlegs bit stays
It's the new Wayne Jenkins 😂😂

Goes off the rails around “Unanswerable Questions”’😂😂
Snake Eyes and Femme Fatale are two DePalma movies that are pure guilty pleasures for me.
Snake eyes is great
Snake Eyes is brilliant and underrated
I feel no guilt. Rebecca Romijn in Femme Fatale is the hottest any woman's ever been.
@@rigsby1454 snake eyes is brilliant? Lol I can see enjoying it but to say it's brilliant is absolutely wild
The opening tracking one-shot from Snake Eyes is insanely good
Body Doubles is referenced in The Weeknd’s music video “Is there someone else?”. This movie definitely still has its admirers
Finally some De Palma. Yes. Yes. A thousand times Yes.
This is their fourth De Palma film and I'm sure Carlitos Way and Scarface are coming one day.
@@mjwbulich Okay, but this is proper, weird De Palma and not hired gun De Palma. He's not coloring within the lines on this one. Blow Out and Body Double are more signature De Palma movies than the Untouchables and MI, as much as I love those genre movies.

@@ChristofEightyEightBill has referenced 'Dressed to Kill' many times. I think we'll get it eventually.
Can't believe they haven't done Scarface.
@@ChristofEightyEight They've done Blow Out
55:10 Mulholland Drive has an insane version of the "walking in to your room and your girl/wife is cheating on you" where it's Billy Ray Cyrus and Justin Theroux follows it up by throwing pink paint all over his wife's jewelry
This was the scene that came to mind for me as well

Need an Almost Famous rewatchable
Good choice.

Yes Sean! I would love a bookclub episode about Pacino's memoir
Finally yall do a Rewatchables that's actually a great movie and fun to watch. Just stick this in my veins!

Would love to see more de palma on here, especially Carlito’s Way

Bill's hot take on Queen is atrocious. They have 30 songs that are objectively better than anything Frankie Goes to Hollywood ever produced.
Bill's hot takes on literally anything are idiotic
I'm pretty disappointed that Chris has seemingly retired Wayne Jenkins... Some may think it's played, but I look forward to it every week, and I hope he brings it back. CR as Wayne Jenkins never fails to make me laugh.
Oh I don't want it to go away forever. We just need a break from it so we can appreciate it more when it hits harder.
Out on a run when Bills Longlegs came on…had stop I was laughing so hard.😂
Rewatching this for some laughs, so I don't cry
Please do Body Heat. Absolute classic
They already did. Everything is on Spotify.
They did
1:35:30 Simmons! 😂I was listening to it driving (not watching!) and I had to pull over cause I could not stop laughing. When talking about walking in on someone riding, 8 mile when Eminem walks in on her mom riding Michael Shannon
"I think Relax is as good as any queen song" is one of the most insane takes ever
Great selection !
Do short cuts
Love this movie and this is one of the best pods you've done 😂
This might be top 10 Rewatchables episodes
Just watched this because I saw Sean had watched it on Letterboxd and I’d only seen Carrie, Scarface and Carlitos way by de Palma so I figured it was time to give it a shot. Well worth it. The ending kind of sucks but works anyway. Love the first half.
The chair squeak during the silence after Bill says: “I think doggy style would be the most humiliating.” 1:35:31
1:33:07 is what you're looking for, an absolute ALL TIME Bill moment
Best episode ever
They straight up cooked with this one. Longlegs is one of Bill's finest gimmicks post Spotify acquisition
AGREED
😂 it’s hilarious. And he seemed to just pull it out of nowhere on the Hereditary pod.
SOMETHING WILD is one of the best movies of all time
When are they going to do Scarface?
I’m dying at Sean trying to take the position question seriously and then just losing it
If you really love LA as a film locale, there's a doc out there called "Los Angeles Plays Itself" that is essential and tells the story of LA on film.
I've been listening for years but have never seen any of their faces. They look like actors playing the versions of how i imagined them in a showtime bio mini series. My minds blown.

Bill cracks me up😂👏
Heat and Lost Highway have incredible wild LA houses.
Rewatchables has turned into Bill personal collections of movies…. So many good movies on tha table he’ll never do
This is one I’d hoped you guys would do for a long time. De Palma is a top 10 director.
Movies to do:
A Knight’s Tale(Favorite Movie of All Time.)
In Bruges
Election
Phantom Thread
Carlito’s Way
Smokey And the Bandit
Zoolander
The Thing
American Psycho
Raising Arizona
Everybody Wants Some!!!
The Prestige
Jackie Brown
A Fish Called Wanda
@@christianjordan8940 sorry we’re not all bisexual no thanks
@ not even sure what you’re talking about lol
@@christianjordan8940 a knights tale is your favorite movie of all time. Why not brokeback mountain?
@ I don’t think you get the point of either movie if that’s your opinion.
@@christianjordan8940good list, but you totally lost me with A knights tale. To each their own.
when I was a kid, I think I remember hearing the Julia Roberts/ Richard Gere scene in Pretty Women had a body double
10 points for the killing fields mention. Great film
This is the Joker: Folie à Deux of the Rewatchables.
We need an Uncut Gems rewatchables!!!
Shout out to WHT! Wometco Home Theater. I wish I still had the guides which showed what was coming on for the month.
love the vertigo curtains
is it possible Working Girl is the silent sequel to Body Double and Holly changes her name?
Simmons hating Carlito's Way has to replace CR saying Luke Wilson could be Harrison Ford as the worst hot take. Ridiculous!
Can you guys PLEASE do "Gattaca" (one of the greatest movies of all time). Everyone please upvote so they see.
I’d rather not
Very little sci-fi on the Rewatchables. I don't think it's Bills thing. I like the film but as far as seeing it here I wouldn't hold my breath.
Gattaca is kinda trash, ngl.😂
@@mjwbulich Gattaca is not hard sci-fi like you can imagine everything in that movie happening. Its about the human will to overcome discrimination and what it costs you to achieve something beyond your physical gifts.
@@realmatic10 sir get out.
Still no hitchcock movies but a hitchcock tribute film. Progress at least.
Would be nice if they did "Psycho" at the very least, that's really the only one I could imagine them doing on this podcast.
You guys missed a good apex mountain and that is “Is this apex mountain for guys named Jake Scully?” The answer is of course no, that’s the Avatar movies haha.
Don’t forget Boogie Nights in the "guy walks in on his wife having sex" pantheon. Happens multiple times which concludes in all of their demise
Sooo I need to know what happened in Terrifier 3 that brings the question for why we can’t have actors fuck on camera?? I refuse to watch that movie so I need details
Didn´t know @billmaher was making movies in the 80s
You need to look into "Ratboy."
1:35:16 This question has an answer. It's whatever position you're the worst at. Great call though lol

O boy. Bill is gonna be on one here

Peeping Tom by Powell & Pressberger is a huge inspiration on the voyeurism of this movie 7:30
20 minute unskippable ad at the beginning of the video.
I love Sean
This is one of those movies if it wasn't made by a great filmmaker it would be thought of as an utter disaster by almost everyone
Who tries on panties and then throws them away after they buy them??????
As far as movies thst cover the porn industry, Ninja Thyberg's 2021 film 'Pleasure' was one you guys forgot
I miss Van on this one. CR is great. Bill holds it down.
When can I get a “Longlegs Doggystyle brought to you by The Ringer” t-shirt
You should do PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE.

HELL YEAH DUDE. De Palma all about the BOOBS GUNS AND DUDE SHIT. 10/10 MOVIE.
dream warriors
54:58 mulholland dr!
Literally never heard of Greenberg until Sean said it on here. I'm 37
