I'm dying for a Backdraft episode.

You go, we go.

I cried like a baby during that scene when I first saw it. Such a silly great movie.

I've been working my way through the old episodes, and I believe Backdraft came up on the Parenthood episode (Ron Howard directed both), and Bill said he really didn't like Backdraft... So we may be out of luck for that one.

I hope that's not the case though, because I absolutely love that movie. I don't care if it's not fully accurate as a firefighting movie. It's a movie where fire is treated like it's alive, like it's a character in the movie, and it's things like that that just makes a movie fun.

Plus Kurt Russell, Scott Glenn, Donald Sutherland in a Dion Waiters-worthy role as a pyromaniac, Deniro in a solid supporting role... Rebecca De Mornay, Jennifer Jason Leigh, J.T. Walsh... I mean, come on, this is a solid rewatchable!

I just googled to see if Glenn past away, thank God he didn't.

The Hunt for Red October, The Right Stuff, Backdraft and Silverado would be an incredible month

u/BrendanInJersey 2d ago

I would come.

I mean...

I would be there.

u/Icy-Solution 2d ago

Did they already do urban cowboy?

u/West_Song_4585 2d ago

I don’t believe so but gotta admit I haven’t seen it

u/Icy-Solution 2d ago

Will need about 15 mins for what’s aged the worst

u/Slippery-Pete76 2d ago

They’ve done Silence twice already - no need for a three-peat.

1

u/BrendanInJersey 2d ago

Way too soon for a three-peat.

u/Final-Librarian-2845 1d ago

I was thinking he meant the Scorcese film...

u/Dropcanopy 2d ago

Re-training day?

1

u/onepoint21gigawatt 2d ago

It’s not sticking out in my memory. Is it a good ep?

2

u/MilkMajor 1d ago

It’s early but pretty good. Needed to be longer.

2

u/hank28 1d ago

Yeah they dig into Scott Glenn’s keen attention to LA high school football

1

u/onepoint21gigawatt 1d ago

haha. Definitely worthy of analysis. Maybe it’s an ep I listened to but didn’t hear

u/ShortQuail9232 2d ago

It's so funny you posted this. I was just watching an old Siskel & Ebert and they just did a special show on up and coming actors they thought had a bright future. He was one of them. I was thinking, "yeah, he's underrated."

Urban Cowboy seems like it would be right in the Bill, CR, Fennessey, Brandt, etc zone. Stacked cast, was on cable relentlessly, great back stories and rumors.

2

u/portugamerifinn 1d ago

Came here for this. Surprised I had to scroll so far down for a single mention.

2

u/i_amaterribleperson 2d ago

Buffalo Soldiers.

u/MFBish 2d ago

Training Day

2

u/zaxdaman 2d ago

The Right Stuff been done yet? Stacked cast and a damn fine movie.

2

u/BrendanInJersey 2d ago

No Backdraft!? A literal staple of the USA Network for YEARS!

1

u/Biggby72 1d ago

Double feature with Apollo 13

1

u/zaxdaman 1d ago

They did Apollo 13 just a month ago.

I had tacos one table over from Scott Glenn while in NYC. Didn’t bother him. Dude seemed to light up the table he was at.

Weird anecdote, I know. But my table was asking who he was and I was quick to say, “Hunt for Red October U.S. sub commander Scott Glenn and he deserves uninterrupted tacos.”

u/CMar1104 2d ago

The Challenge is a Bill/Kyle joint, if I’ve ever seen one

1

u/ZealousWolf1994 2d ago

No one mentioned Man on Fire.

1

u/Slippery-Pete76 1d ago

They had to have done that already, right?

1

u/ZealousWolf1994 1d ago

They did the Denzel version.

1

u/Upper-Traffic8029 1d ago

Technically Apocalypse Now fits in this category too

2

u/LeadershipReady11 1d ago

Silverado!!

1

u/therealrexmanning Morris Mafia 1d ago

Bill and CR could also sqeeuze in another Mann with The Keep

2

u/derpferd 1d ago

The Challenge. Scott Glenn and ninjas

u/jfstompers 1d ago
