Beware of the Gonzo: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (future-stars cast): Beware of the Gonzo → Dazed and Confused. Like Dazed and Confused, the young cast included many future stars.
    “It was hour dazed and confused.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Sherlock Jr. / The Navigator with James Urbaniak · 0:14:32 · Griffin Newman (0.50 sure it was them)

Ferris Bueller's Day Off: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (genre: all in one day): Ferris Bueller's Day Off → Dazed and Confused. Other nominees for the all-in-one-day genre include Dazed and Confused, Dog Day Afternoon, Before Sunrise/Sunset, Do the Right Thing.
    “Dazed and Confused, dog day afternoon. Um, the before sunrise before sunset movies. Do the right thing is on that list.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 1:18:50 · Bill Simmons (0.60 sure it was them)

Friday Night Lights (2004 film): 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): Friday Night Lights (2004 film) → Dazed and Confused. The this-is-the-peak-of-your-life theme also drives Dazed and Confused.
    “But even like movies, other, like days been confused. It was a theme for the for that movie too.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Friday Night Lights’ With Bill Simmons and Mallory Rubin · 0:53:42 · Bill Simmons (0.50 sure it was them)

House Party: 1 line lineage ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): House Party → Dazed and Confused. For its rap-era teens, House Party was a Dazed and Confused before Dazed came out.
    “This was like my days to confused before Days to Confuse came out.”
    The Big Picture · The 1990 Movie Draft · 1:04:18 · Chris Ryan (0.85 sure it was them)

Reality Bites: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): Dazed and Confused → Reality Bites. Two kinds of generational movie: looking back at a past era (Dazed, Graffiti) versus real time (Reality Bites, Saturday Night Fever).
    “And then there are the movies where they actually try to do it in real time, like Saturday Night Fever is like this, and reality bites is like the clearest example.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Reality Bites’ 25th Anniversary With Bill Simmons, Chuck Klosterman, and Chris Ryan · 0:08:35 · Chuck Klosterman (0.50 sure it was them)

Summer Catch: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): Dazed and Confused → Summer Catch. Both films cut around a star who cannot pitch: Wiley Wiggins as Mitch Kramer and Freddie Prinze Jr.
    “The windup and then cutting to the guy behind him where it's clearly the stunt double pitcher because, you know, the guy couldn't.”
    The Rewatchables · A CR Month Mailbag! · 0:16:24 · Chris Ryan (0.40 sure it was them)

This Is the End: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (genre): This Is the End → Dazed and Confused. The film takes the one-crazy-night party movie and marries it to Night of the Living Dead.
    “taking one crazy night party, like Project Decks or Days and Confused, and then marrying it to Night of Living Dead is pretty fucking potent.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘This Is the End’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Craig Horlbeck · 0:41:19 · Craig Horlbeck (0.40 sure it was them)

Weird Science: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Weird Science → Dazed and Confused. Ilan Mitchell-Smith as lead is compared to Wiley Wiggins as Mitch Kramer: a lot put on a young unproven lead.
    “very similar too, is the Wiley Wiggins dazed and confused performance as Mitch Kramer.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Weird Science’ With Bill Simmons and Kyle Brandt · 1:05:31 · Bill Simmons (0.40 sure it was them)
