| Episode | Host | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| ‘The Nice Guys’ | Bill Simmons | Had trouble finding what's aged the worst because the movie's aged really well and it's set in the 70s when it's supposed to age badly |
| ‘The Nice Guys’ | Chris Ryan | The exterior shots of LA that were actually filmed in downtown Atlanta - you can tell the streets are too narrow or there's too much foliage in different places |
| ‘Fargo’ | Chris Ryan | Hot buffets - they don't get used much anymore |
| ‘Fargo’ | Kyle Brandt | Old landline phones next to the bed that ring loudly in the middle of the night without caller ID - Marge being woken up by the loud phone right next to her face |
| ‘Sicario’ | Bill Simmons | Discussed the awkwardness of Emily Blunt's intimate scene with Jon Bernthal from the perspective of her husband John Krasinski having to watch it at premieres, but framed it more as commentary than something that aged poorly |
| ‘Sicario’ | Chris Ryan | Daniel Kaluuya's character being named Reggie Wayne in the screenplay, which feels like Taylor Sheridan just borrowed the name from Colts player Reggie Wayne |
| ‘Sicario’ | Sean Fennessey | The portrayal of Juarez as the scariest city on earth - the city has significantly improved since the screenplay was written in 2010-2011 and has fallen out of the top 15 most dangerous cities |
| ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ | Bill Simmons | All the babysitter stuff - it just wouldn't fly now, especially giving the photos to the eighth grader at the end |
| ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ | Mina Kimes | Pickup culture at bars generally is just not what it was in 2011 |
| ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ | Van Lathan | Young people being interested in having sex with other people and willing to talk to them to make it happen - the whole pickup culture at bars |
| ‘GoldenEye’ | Bill Simmons | The cringy quote 'the things we do for frequent flyer mileage' - terrible line that should have been vetted |
| ‘GoldenEye’ | Chris Ryan | The one moment where they try to make it serious and Bond is wistfully staring at the sea in the Caribbean - feels forced given the movie's tone |
