Most Underrated 90s Comedy

This movie comes up time to time on The Rewatchables and it always gets dismissed as a failed SNL movie along with A Night at the Roxbury and It’s Pat. But it’s incredibly funny and extremely Rewatchable.

-The cast is legendary: Aykroyd, Curtin, Burke, Farley, Sandler, Sinbad, McKeen, Spade, Alexander, Hartman, and Parker Posey and Joey Lauren Adams as Connie’s friends.

-It’s a coming of age movie, manhunt movie, rags to riches movie, sci-fi movie, and a golf movie all rolled into one.

-It’s incredibly quotable, if I say, “Flamdep!!!” around my dad he will lose his mind laughing.

Why do you think this movie gets dismissed and doesn’t enter the higher ranks of SNL movies?

BS: “So the Chevalier du Balibari leaves and right away Redmond Barry goes missing, and Captain Potzdorf doesn’t think, ‘hey maybe we should check the Chevalier’s carriage’?

You’ve already caught Redmond Barry impersonating an officer. If I’m Captain Potzdorf I’m not letting Barry get away. I’m just not…”

Can Now Confirm: 21 Bridges Rips

Picked up a second-hand blu ray copy of 21 Bridges recently based almost entirely on Chris Ryan's enthusiasm for it. Finally watched it today, and can happily confirm he's made a believer out of me. Maybe this is a Floyd Gondolli situation, but even though I'm a sucker for mid-budget crime dramas, it's still rare to see one that really nails it.

I think any fan of Hell or High Water or Den of Thieves will enjoy this, but the film 21 Bridges probably reminds of the most is the recent Netflix movie Reptile, which I also have a lot of love for (particularly Alicia Silverstone's performance). In this case there's the addition of a ticking clock/all-in-one-night device that gives the whole thing a relentless momentum.

Some people may find it a little too by-the-numbers, but the moody direction and great performances from Boseman, Miller, JK Simmons, and (wtf?!?) Taylor Kitsch make the ride so enjoyable that it doesn't matter if you know where it's going.

Let's get it on the calendar, guys. I can already see my first rewatch coming.
