Who said it, by their latest sketch (4)

[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] Jessica Bendinger · latest sketch, The Big Picture · 1. ‘Bring It On’ and ‘Donnie Darko’ | Mission Accomplished · Raised on noisy, horny 70s and 80s high school movies and John Hughes; wrote Bring It On as social satire about cultural appropriation. She cannot stand executives who dismissed teen girl audiences. · stances: Girls do go to movies; Hollywood executives were idiots; Cheerleading imitates Black culture without knowing its origin; 9/11 was a collective loss of innocence
[speaker] Archival clip · no sketch
[speaker] Shea Serrano · latest sketch, The Big Picture · ‘Fast 9’ and the ‘Fast & Furious’ Rankings · The franchise's biggest fan, loves family, Dom, Letty and stunts, and the first film as the centerpiece. Shrugs at villains and wants smaller street-racing again. · stances: The Fast and the Furious is number one; Tokyo Drift is the keystone; Worst moments are still really fun

[Blank Check — Patreon · Guardians of the Galaxy · 1:30:14 · unknown (0.30)] Guardians of the Galaxy ↔ The Breakfast Club · theme · The misfit team facing a deadline plays like the Breakfast Club or a group project nobody did. · "And they're the Breakfast Club, right?"
[The Big Picture · 1. ‘Bring It On’ and ‘Donnie Darko’ | Mission Accomplished · 0:26:00 · Adam Fields (0.90)] Donnie Darko ↔ The Breakfast Club · craft · Fields found Donnie Darko's teen dialogue as realistic as Hughes's dialogue on Breakfast Club. · "It reminded me of, again, when John Hughes sent me to play for Breakfast Club, that was, like, really incredible dialogue that I thought really captured the the zeitgeist, the kids that age."
[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] Jessica Bendinger · latest sketch, The Big Picture · 1. ‘Bring It On’ and ‘Donnie Darko’ | Mission Accomplished · Raised on noisy, horny 70s and 80s high school movies and John Hughes; wrote Bring It On as social satire about cultural appropriation. She cannot stand executives who dismissed teen girl audiences. · stances: Girls do go to movies; Hollywood executives were idiots; Cheerleading imitates Black culture without knowing its origin; 9/11 was a collective loss of innocence

[speaker] Shea Serrano · latest sketch, The Big Picture · ‘Fast 9’ and the ‘Fast & Furious’ Rankings · The franchise's biggest fan, loves family, Dom, Letty and stunts, and the first film as the centerpiece. Shrugs at villains and wants smaller street-racing again. · stances: The Fast and the Furious is number one; Tokyo Drift is the keystone; Worst moments are still really fun
[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 Bring It On (2000); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend Bring It On (2000) 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.
