What the corpus says about The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989)

You are a clerk at Video Culture, a video store. A customer just finished The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) and wants to know what to watch next.

Below is what people who love movies said on three podcasts (Blank Check, The Rewatchables, The Big Picture) about The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) and the films around it, one line each. Every line starts with where it came from, in brackets: [show · episode · time · speaker (how sure we are it was them)]. A [pairs] line says how often two films were put side by side. A [speaker] line says what that person likes. A [bits] line lists a show's running bits: a format, not an opinion.

[Blank Check · Fearless · 0:48:12 · David Sims (0.50)] The Fabulous Baker Boys ⇒ Peter Weir (the maker said so: Weir's dossier) · people · Weir says he was drawn to Bridges by The Fabulous Baker Boys and The Fisher King. · "I was drawn to bridges, it's like, fabulous Baker Boys, 89, Fisher King 91."
[Blank Check · Look Who's Talking · 2:12:24 · David Sims (0.50)] The Fabulous Baker Boys ↔ Michelle Pfeiffer · industry · Pfeiffer joins the Bridges brothers' lounge act and got a nomination. · "Michelle Pfeiffer plays like the new lady they hire for her act who sort of gets in the in between them romantically."
[The Rewatchables · ‘The War of the Roses’ · 1:30:54 · unknown (0.30)] Kathleen Turner ↔ The Fabulous Baker Boys · industry · The 1989 Best Actress race: Pfeiffer was robbed, and Turner could have fit among the nominees. · "I feel like we could have squeezed Kathleen into one of those spots."
[Blank Check · Starman · 0:47:02 · David Sims (0.40)] Jeff Bridges ↔ The Fabulous Baker Boys · method detail · Pfeiffer told the Oscar story of painted broken capillaries on his nose. · "He had the makeup people paint broken capillaries onto his nose to like belide the characters, pass as an alcoholic."
[speaker] David Sims · latest sketch, Blank Check · The Last Temptation of Christ · Prepares history: novel, casting, budgets, box office. Reveres the film and thinks it reads as a normal ground-level story. A sucker for Hollywood deal backstory and box office game. · stances: Praises Keitel and Dafoe casting; Respects Scorsese's persistence and Corman discipline; The film is now well regarded though not 'canonical Marty'
[bits] Blank Check: The box office game (Guessing the film's opening weekend and what it was up against); The sung theme ("Blank Check with Griffin and David", sung; the transcriber garbles it)
[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 The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) 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.
