Best scene: "I don't want them to gain another yard, you Blitz all night......"

[@joshufo9959]

I heard it in my head as I read it 😂

[@hawaiin420]

Made me play the titans in madden for a while lol

[@roykim1297]

"What are you blind? Don't you see the family resemblance? That's my brother." Makes me tear up every time.

[@TAnders877]

I was an extra in the stadium in this. They offered free lunch and dinner to the local schools to get extras. It was pretty cool until they explained we had to split up white/black. I was proud at how uncomfortable everybody was splitting up like that.

[@HarrisonHollers]

“We blitz all night!” followed by the big hits montage, is one of the most powerful scenes! How did they not list that?? I’ve watched it multiple times pre-game to get hyped!

[@jeremymuir4332]

I’ve no idea how that goes unmentioned here. Scrubs the entire podcast ignoring that.

[@blakeharris58]

They leaned so far into/against Patton’s speech leading up to that scene that it made me sick.

[@fishflake1209]

This movie is in the “Actors Pushing 30 Unconvincingly Playing Teens” Hall of Fame. That’s why they look so old in the ten-years-later funeral scene.

[@mrbucketz79]

this was Bill's "I was in too deep like Mekhi Phife"

[@Random-Stranger]

Love the Grantland cap front and center on the table. Barnwell, Lowe, Rembert... bring 'em all back home, Bill.

[@MasterOfNone1980]

You left out 2 of the most rewatch seen. “All right, now, I don't want them to gain another yard! You blitz...all...night! If they cross the line of scrimmage, I'm gonna take every last one of you out! You make sure they remember, forever, the night they played the Titans!” Gerry and Julius in the hospital “Only kinfolk allowed in here.” “Alice are you blind. Can’t you see the family resemblance. That’s my brother”

[@Fifabeast389]

Michael De Los Santos the “that’s my brother” part is really great. the strategy of running all out blitz every play is hilarious lol

[@DirtballRotten]

I cant agree more

[@tct8284]

My head football coach in high school gave me Coach Boone's "I lost my Mother and my father in the same week" line and I told him I meet his Mom after one of the games the year before and he was pissed I ruined his Coach Boone moment.

[@thefearmakerlive]

Taye Diggs (Best Man, How Stella got her groove back) is the coach in All American, not Omar Epps (Juice)

[@MrMJTrent1]

Bill Loves Omar Epps so much He can't distinguish him from Taye Diggs....

[@JustSumCoach]

ok...thought it was just me. AA is definitely Taye Diggs

[@blakeharris58]

To be fair. We all look alike to most white people.

[@josephgreene4841]

😂😂😂😂

[@nikhildevarakonda9295]

Omar Epps is in All American the way Samuel L. Jackson was in that Super Bowl commercial.

[@jacobscott9732]

Best quote; "run it up Herman, leave no doubt"

[@gregorycastillo4799]

Taye Diggs not Omar Epps

[@HankyDank]

We went and saw this movie, as a team, in the theater back in high school. And because one of the kids on the teams dad owned the movie theater, we went back and watched it in theater again the following year lol fast forward one more year and that kid's dad brought a projector with the movie to the school's auditorium and we watched it as a team one more time... we did win state each of those years too lol

[@noelmadrigal9275]

I mean this with love Bill you pissed me off today lol.

[@Levels2sucio]

More of Rembert. This podcast had a good balance of different takes. A great listen and now a great watch.

[@millsmillsmills203]

Apparently he just moved to LA so fingers crossed he gets more involved with The Ringer

[@Fred3209]

Rusillo still has my vote for the best add on to this podcast for the Town episode

[@btran213]

avon barksdales' parts make my cry always

[@erickennedy4480]

Top 5 football movies 5. Replacements, 4. Wild Cats, 3. The Program, 2. Friday night lights 1. I think Remember the Titans. That movie is tear jerker.

[@blakeharris58]

Any Given Sunday is my number 1. Friday Night Lights, Varsity Blues, The Replacements and Remember the Titans in any order after that.

[@stillmatic166]

@@blakeharris58 any given Sunday is so damn good

[@lloydsmith3864]

Spot on with Wildcats

[@thepeddle]

Shea seemed so taken back by the hating of this he wasn't his usual happy go lucky self.

[@Apocalypse3434]

May have missed it but I don't think they brought up how "Raycist" intentionally missed the block that got Rev hurt, which led to Gary finally getting Raycist cut from the team.

[@nicksanders1344]

The coach is not Omar Epps!!!! The coach is Taye Diggs. Geez, Bill.

[@charwest5892]

Bill is a secret racist, can't even tell black people apart.

[@nicksanders1344]

@@charwest5892 That statement is a bit much.

[@taylorjopson8560]

I was thinking Ed Harris right before Shea said it 😂 I couldn’t agree more.

[@jeremymuir4332]

Blindside - best block. Titans is nice but the moment Oher switches on in blindside is the best block.

[@kingseth3]

Been wating on this !!!!@

[@mjm5081]

Haven't seen one minute of this movie and this is still highly enjoyable.

[@twokingz04]

ITS TAYE DIGGS BILL. GEEZ. LOL

[@daking901]

MY THREE FAVORITE PERSONALITIES!!!!!

[@connoreasterday306]

50:08 LMAO she was 17 at the time lololol can't even blame Bill tho

[@eboooo]

I just saw it too Hahaha

[@Fifabeast389]

I love you guys but I just gotta point out something that makes zero sense to me. Around 28 mins they talk about how Disney cuts these scenes to make it seem like they ‘solved’ racism and how they’re all ‘happy on the bus’. You guys literally acknowledge how racist meets them when they come home from their retreat though? at least be fair. And then talk about how the movie actually does show how hard it is for them to be friends

[@eboooo]

I love Hayden in this she's great

[@c.jarmstrong3111]

Greatest sports movie of all time

[@crg750]

I requested the dream team of BS, Shea, and Rem!!! We need more Rembert!!! Keep up the great work guys. Chris in Boston. ps. when is The Ringer Boston HQ opening??

[@bishop0001]

Love the podcasts, just want to know what are you waiting for Gladiator is rewatchable to the extreme. In fact it is on BBC America right now and it is scene after scene of greatness. Best line “ Shadows and Dust”, “ busy little bee”, “ he was a soldier of Rome, honor him”, “ not yet, not yet”, “ are you not entertained”, “my name is Maximus Decimus Meridius...”? My favorite “ it vexes me, I am terribly vexed”

[@Hibachi6.6.6]

Kip killed it in rules of attraction

[@vetoland92]

Friday Night Lights has the best football scenes I’ve seen in movies

[@bbqnetwork8536]

I love Shea

[@archibaldsalyards926]

Love the poster in back for “Fastbreak!l So much fun watching your guys film deep dives!! REMEMBER is one of the best feel good films..and says so much more!!!! Love “sunshine!” … his Dad scene with “blacks” is what we need now and all time!! One of the top 10 best films! Next PLEASE DO “Once Upon A Time in the WEST!!!” My #1

[@robg.3136]

Bill should fire whoever the sound guy was in this. The volume levels between the three of them are completely out of whack...

[@twokingz04]

Hoping y'all do a rewatcheable of "Glory"

[@taylorjopson8560]

How can you trash this movie. Everything is just where it needs to be. Its one the best football movies I’ve seen, next to Friday night lights. It’s just a perfect movie. Not a great one but perfect for what it needs to be.

[@mikeofsocal]

Shea Serrano writes the best article titles... I always click them on the ringer and about three paragraphs in I realize I’m reading another crappy Shea Serrano article tho

[@charwest5892]

Lol pretty-on. The dude has 3 books out though, so...

[@brewer921]

They are called headlines.

[@christianjordan8940]

Bill is trying too hard to tear apart this movie when you need to take it for what it is. A very fun movie to watch with some great acting for a Disney film and a soundtrack that fits the storytelling to a tee. You can’t analyze it like it’s Schindlers List. Also, learn how to pronounce Gary Bertier, not hard if you actually rewatched the movie.

[@garrettjay7328]

In the thumbnail I thought that was kyrie. I was pissed for a minute Bill.

[@TEEPSPAZ]

shameless request for 90s comedy episodes. liar liar, billy madison, & the cable guy would all be dopeeee

[@hueyhoopin]

HEY FELLAS LOOK AT THAT FRUITCAKE

[@DirtballRotten]

Sons of Anarchy is a top 5 show ever

[@igotchabeanpie439]

Should’ve had ray switch schools and play for the racist banana coach

[@jerrettbarkley456]

Morgan Freeman most definitely can play the Coach. PS Kate Bosworth was 16/17 during this movie but everything changed when Blue Crush came out lol.

[@christopherjnash9]

Guys… guys… the best block/series of blocks is in The Waterboy. Come on now.

[@deemccray5764]

Its a movie, something's happen different but the concept of the movie will not change. They did not want us there but Washington put them in there place

[@eboooo]

All American stars Taye Diggs not Omar Epps.

[@stevennREYES]

Did they do casting what ifs?

[@bijanbayne3259]

Simmons said he found none

[@wigunbor]

All black guys look alike to bill

[@Lord_Clarke]

How'd Bill leave out that All American is loosely based on Spencer Paysinger a former Oregon, Giants, and Jets linebacker

[@GuitarD30]

Never watched the whole movie start to finished. Ok buddy.... it’s a fucking great movie that deserves a lot more respect than that. Why is he even there? Get him out

[@Drew-hd4hm]

Would've been better if Browne spoke in to the microphone

[@ZacBLive]

What’s aged the worst - no water.

[@ScruffDuff]

More Rembert and also anybody know someone who knows someone to get me that Grantland tldr hat? DM's are open

[@ScruffDuff]

Oh and also congrats Shea on the book release I've got my copy at my local independent bookstore

[@amye702]

I understand that you want a movie that's claiming to be based on true events to be reasonably accurate but it's also a movie. The decisions will be made in order to have a flowing narrative, and for the most dramatic effect. The come back in the final game is more interesting than them just creaming the other team. The accident is irrelevant if it happened after the game. Four daughters isnt as impactful as one. Its all about making the movie make sense over telling reality. Noone wants to watch a film about an asshole coach and a team that crushed everyone....that jst douchey bragging!

[@caulinwhitewater4118]

18:02 when he said “Race movie” I got Real confused because no one raced in this movie.

[@DMalltheway]

Glory Road is a good movie.

[@cgosline1]

Rembert needs to get closer to the mic. I can barely hear him.

[@CP-rr8wu]

Omar Epps is definitely not in All American

[@wesleyrs83]

Can some producer review how to pronounce names with Simmons beforehand?

[@brewer921]

This movie is based on a true story in which a great football team and a great football team combined to make a great football team. It was not a Cinderella story. Yes, I realize the integration storyline is the main idea, but "based on a true story" is usually nonsense.

[@eboooo]

Alexandria isn't really a Southern town though

[@blakeharris58]

The entirety of the DMV area is Southern to New Englanders and East Coast to Southerners.

[@eboooo]

@@blakeharris58 yeah but Richmond is where the South really begins imo

[@NatruallyAwesome]

Too many ads

[@geoffrussell2049]

surprised they didn't mention Petey's badly covered up tattoo as a nitpick. Or the line about 'I'm the only all America you got" Or "who's your daddy...." conversation

[@geoffrussell2049]

oh....I spoke too soon. Just heard the who's your daddy comments.

[@gsf23]

Ryan Hurst is also Beta in The Walking Dead.

[@devinleisinger4855]

Do Rudy or he got game next

[@joemckim1183]

Ryan Gosling was a liability on defense.

[@reubenaaron8566]

Omar Epps and Taye Diggs look alike...

[@jordandinwiddie5434]

Taye Diggs sir...

[@patrickhoctor5893]

Left Side!!!!

[@davidm9187]

I feel as though Mahershala Ali might be the only actor I could see playing the Denzel role. He has the intimidation aspect that rembert refers to and the way he carries himself in most other roles there’s a bit of accountability and cohesiveness that I could see him matching the performance of Denzel.

[@Raiaramis24]

I dont know - Driven was intresting movie.

[@jvanelden1]

Does BS give anyone else a Christian Laettner vibe?

[@brewer921]

I guess part of the charm with Shea is his child-like enthusiasm for movies and sports. But I don't want to see movies or really anything through his eyes.

[@tonys.2216]

Let me guess, The Ringer staff magically found a black person to discuss this movie about race. Aside from Wesley Morris (who doesn't work at the Ringer), they only seem to allow their black employees to discuss "black" films.

[@Mr.Laker19]

Mike Brown or they get the black guy from TMZ

[@markbuchs423]

You must not watch The Ringer very often, look at you looking like a racist. I guess if thats what you are looking for you will find it. Go watch Breakfast Club review. So Shea being Mexican doesnt count huh. Moron.

[@blakeharris58]

I prefer it this way as opposed to discussing a "black" movie with no black panelists.

[@cardy0324]

Left side....

[@SONOFSAMDMG3]

strong side

[@benjamin5726]

20 minutes in you questioned if this is a great movie? 🤣🤦‍♂️ what is wrong with you?

[@tapashe9239]

Sorry, didnt really care for this. It was an hour of try hard obnoxious comments with very little substance. It's sad too because this is one of my favorite movies and there's virtually no reactions to it on youtube so you kinda missed out on doing something no one else is by having too much patter.

[@kevinmcnamara7021]

6:13 I stopped listening. That might be the worst take I've ever heard. John Q is such a good movie with a great supporting cast.

[@aleandroid86]

why cant simmons say peoples name?

[@KVC74]

Lmao @ having the token black guy on your Remember the Titans podcast even though he says he never watched the movie

[@britt01]

I thought he said he did, but it was the first time his wife watched it.

[@brewer921]

Bill sits like a girl.

[@jules7209]

Bill Simmons picks the oldest whitest movies. Do a pod on paid in full!

[@wolfwilliams]

Denzel is not the greatest actor of the last two generations, or any generation.
