Who said it, by their latest sketch (5)

[speaker] Craig Horlbeck · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · ‘Friday the 13th’ · First-time viewer of the series; expected Jason and was thrown by Mrs. Voorhees. Rates the film a 4 or 5 and singled out the canoe ending as the best scene. Prefers the Chain Saw's intensity. · stances: Rug-pulled by the killer-mom reveal; The ending saves the movie
[speaker] Bill Simmons · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · ‘Friday the 13th’ · Loves the Friday series as a communal, rental-era memory and tells childhood stories about the ads and theaters. Likes casting what-ifs and sports analogies for everything. Skeptical of horror at Christmas and of anything that wastes the premise. · stances: Friday the 13th is not the best entry but the origin story had to be told; Friday 2 is a leap over the original
[speaker] Brian Koppelman · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · ‘Margin Call’ · Loves craft: Chandor's economy, not speaking down, and actors like Tucci and Hoffman. Sucker for heightened workplace dialogue and one-night structures. · stances: Margin Call is among the 10 best of 15 years; Hanks does not play sleaze; Conflict structure over a night is the point
[speaker] Brian Raftery · latest sketch, The Big Picture · 5. ‘No Country for Old Men’ and ‘W.’ | Mission Accomplished · Loves slow-burn tension and scenes built on dialogue, naming the Ellis kitchen scene the best of the 2000s. Is drawn to films that capture their national moment. Has little patience for the word classic, and dry humor about presidents and haircuts. · stances: No Country for Old Men is about inevitability and powerlessness; Its 2007 release resonated with Bush-era anxiety; W. was undone by timing, not quality; Stone's late-2000s movies are best read through the decade's politics
[speaker] Danny Kelly · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · 'Talladega Nights' · Fond of fake ads, commercial bloopers, gag-heavy dinner scenes and low-budget grounded comedies. Dislikes CGI gags and glossy blockbusters. Always stirring a hot take, like Talladega being too Hollywood. · stances: Comedies should lean on practical gags, not CGI; NASCAR is better than he thought; Dinner scene is the most rewatchable

[speaker] Craig Horlbeck · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · ‘Friday the 13th’ · First-time viewer of the series; expected Jason and was thrown by Mrs. Voorhees. Rates the film a 4 or 5 and singled out the canoe ending as the best scene. Prefers the Chain Saw's intensity. · stances: Rug-pulled by the killer-mom reveal; The ending saves the movie
[speaker] Bill Simmons · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · ‘Friday the 13th’ · Loves the Friday series as a communal, rental-era memory and tells childhood stories about the ads and theaters. Likes casting what-ifs and sports analogies for everything. Skeptical of horror at Christmas and of anything that wastes the premise. · stances: Friday the 13th is not the best entry but the origin story had to be told; Friday 2 is a leap over the original
[speaker] Brian Koppelman · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · ‘Margin Call’ · Loves craft: Chandor's economy, not speaking down, and actors like Tucci and Hoffman. Sucker for heightened workplace dialogue and one-night structures. · stances: Margin Call is among the 10 best of 15 years; Hanks does not play sleaze; Conflict structure over a night is the point
[speaker] Brian Raftery · latest sketch, The Big Picture · 5. ‘No Country for Old Men’ and ‘W.’ | Mission Accomplished · Loves slow-burn tension and scenes built on dialogue, naming the Ellis kitchen scene the best of the 2000s. Is drawn to films that capture their national moment. Has little patience for the word classic, and dry humor about presidents and haircuts. · stances: No Country for Old Men is about inevitability and powerlessness; Its 2007 release resonated with Bush-era anxiety; W. was undone by timing, not quality; Stone's late-2000s movies are best read through the decade's politics
[speaker] Danny Kelly · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · 'Talladega Nights' · Fond of fake ads, commercial bloopers, gag-heavy dinner scenes and low-budget grounded comedies. Dislikes CGI gags and glossy blockbusters. Always stirring a hot take, like Talladega being too Hollywood. · stances: Comedies should lean on practical gags, not CGI; NASCAR is better than he thought; Dinner scene is the most rewatchable
[bits] The Big Picture: Drafts (Hosts and guests draft films in rounds; every pick is a recommendation with an argument); Hall of Fame (A star's or director's best, ranked and argued); Countdowns (Ranked lists, top five or top ten)
[bits] The Rewatchables: Apex Mountain (The moment a star peaks; where on the mountain a performance sits); Who Won the Movie (The hosts name the person who came out of the film best off); The Ebert review (Roger Ebert's original review and star rating read aloud. Ebert is cited, never on the show); Casting what-ifs (Who was almost cast, or who should have been); Most rewatchable scene (The scene each host would stop on while flipping channels); Aged best / aged worst (What holds up and what does not); Picking Nits (The little things in a film the hosts love that they don't think totally work: the nits); Double feature (The film each host would pair it with; a programming pick)

Recommend three to six films, and only films that appear in these lines. A series, a TV film, or a franchise counts too when a line recommends it or pairs it with Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) itself. For each one, give one short reason in your own words and say whose reason it is: the show, named exactly as the brackets name it, and the speaker when the line names one (an "unknown" speaker is just the show). If the lines are thin, say so plainly rather than stretching them.

Keep a contrast a contrast. When a line sets two films apart, the reason is how they differ; never turn it into a way they're alike. A line with ⇒ puts the source first and what drew on it second, and one marked "the maker said so" is still the host reporting it: say who said it, and never state an influence as fact.

You know only what's on these lines. Add no fact they don't state: not who directed a film, not what kind of film it is, not when it came out, unless a line says so. Say nothing about the store or how anything rents here.

Talk the way a clerk talks to a customer at the counter: plain text, titles written plainly with no asterisks or other markup, no headings, no lists of more than six, no JSON.
