What the corpus says about Intolerable Cruelty (2003)

You are a clerk at Video Culture, a video store. A customer just finished Intolerable Cruelty (2003) 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 Intolerable Cruelty (2003) 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 · Fargo · 1:35:09 · Griffin Newman (0.40)] Fargo ↔ Intolerable Cruelty · fake soap opera · Asks whether Intolerable Cruelty also has a made-up soap opera, as Fargo's TV scenes do. · "Now, intolerable cruelty has a soap opera thing too, right?"
[The Rewatchables · A CR Month Mailbag! · 0:27:03 · unknown (0.40)] Fargo ↔ Fargo · programming · Jerry's salesman-of-the-month picture behind him is offered as a Fargo secret-handshake prop. · "I would love uh, Jerry's, like, salesman of the month picture that's behind Jerry in Fargo."
[Blank Check · Fargo · 0:10:45 · Griffin Newman (0.50)] Fargo ⇒ Fargo (unaired NBC pilot with Edie Falco) (the host's read) · lineage · An NBC pilot directed by Kathy Bates with Edie Falco as Marge aired years later; the Coens were not involved. · "There was like an NBC pilot directed by Kathy Bates with Edie Falco playing Marge Gunderson."
[Blank Check · Fargo · 0:33:14 · unknown (0.50)] Barbarian ↔ Fargo · theme · Barbarian is called a scary movie that is funny with humor from the bizarreness of human behavior, as with the Coens. · "you made a scary movie that was funny."
[Blank Check · Fargo · 2:40:16 · David Sims (0.40)] Prelude to a Kiss ↔ Fargo · theme · Alec Baldwin treats Prelude to a Kiss as his Fargo, a perfect movie that didn't last. · "as if it was obviously his Fargo."
[The Rewatchables · A CR Month Mailbag! · 0:14:46 · Craig Horlbeck (0.50)] Fargo ↔ The Shining · theme · A carpeted-restaurant joke leads to Kubrick's carpets and a Palm Springs hotel with the same carpet as the Shining hotel. · "I was at a hotel in Palm Springs a few months ago and it has the exact same carpet as the Shining Hotel."
[Blank Check · Fargo · 0:34:16 · Zach Cregger (0.70)] Carter Burwell ↔ Fargo · craft · Cregger says the Paul Bunyan statue shot is lit and scored like the scariest thing you have ever seen, with Burwell's score. · "they light it and shoot it like the scariest fucking thing you've ever seen. With the fucking Carter Burwell score"
[Blank Check · Fargo · 0:34:54 · Zach Cregger (0.50)] Carter Burwell ↔ Fargo · craft · Burwell's score plays the dread straight and never acknowledges the film's zaniness, its most playful moment being the break-in buildup. · "this movie, with all of the zaniness that's definitely in here. His score never really acknowledges any of it."
[Blank Check · Fargo · 1:03:01 · host (Griffin Newman or David Sims) (0.40)] Roger Deakins ↔ Fargo · craft · The Coens first told Deakins they wanted only fixed shots, then relaxed it as too puritanical, per his commentary as relayed by the hosts. · "they initially told him we only want fixed shots. Like you're doing nothing. And then they realized like that's maybe a little too puritanical."
[speaker] Griffin Newman · latest sketch, Blank Check · The Last Temptation of Christ · Calls Last Temptation his college-era favorite Scorsese; loves Scorsese's smaller 80s and the film's closing transcendence and Gabriel score. Cannot stand fundamentalist outrage at it. A sucker for casting trivia and Tom Cruise-silliness. · stances: Hot take: Last Temptation structurally mirrors New York, New York as a better version; Outrage over the film is stupid; it is respectful to Jesus; Scorsese's smaller 80s work beats his later baroque phases
[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 Intolerable Cruelty (2003); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend Intolerable Cruelty (2003) 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.
