What the corpus says about Rat Race (2001)

You are a clerk at Video Culture, a video store. A customer just finished Rat Race (2001) 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 Rat Race (2001) 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 · After Hours · 2:12:52 · unknown host (0.40)] Rat Race ↔ Shrek · shared song · Rat Race is the second-best 2001 movie to use Smash Mouth's All Star after Shrek. · "It's the 2nd best movie to use Smash Mouse All-Star in the year 2001."
[Blank Check · After Hours · 2:12:16 · unknown host (0.40)] Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong ↔ Rat Race · comedy duo ported · Like Cheech and Chong here, Rat Race's duo was written for Jay and Silent Bob per Kevin Smith. · "Kevin Smith recently revealed on a podcast that that was written for Jay and Silent Bob."
[Blank Check · After Hours · 2:12:35 · unknown host (0.35)] Rat Race · fun · The Rat Race brothers were written for Jay and Silent Bob per Kevin Smith. · "it was written to literally be the 2 of them doing that."
[The Big Picture · ‘Mamma Mia!’ Meets ‘The Strangers'! It’s a Movie Swap! · 0:13:57 · Sean Fennessey (0.70)] Mamma Mia! ↔ Shrek · programming · Reflecting on their movie swaps, Sean ties Shrek, the earlier one-way swap, to Bobby Wagner's last episode. · "Bob's last episode was like a one-way movie swap, which was Shrek."
[Blank Check — Patreon · Trolls: The Experience · 1:02:37 · unknown (0.35)] Shrek ⇒ Trolls (the host's read) · lineage · Trolls has Shrek-distilled humor: self-referential asides for the parents. · "this weird, annoying Shrek, you know, as you say, Shrek, distilled or whatever, like type of humor"
[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] 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)

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 Rat Race (2001); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend Rat Race (2001) 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.
