  3. unmapped (feels real): The Texas Chain Saw Massacre → Green Room. Chainsaw scares because the evil is not supernatural, unlike Jason, Freddy, Myers or The Exorcist; Blair Witch and Green Room are the modern realistic ones.

    The Rewatchables · A CR Month Mailbag! · 1:34:52 · Craig Horlbeck (0.40 sure it was them)
  22. contrast (contrast): Jonah Hill → Anthony Michael Hall. Hall was sweet where the later horny-guy leads, like Hill, are angry yellers.

    The Rewatchables · ‘Twister’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan · 1:51:14 · Craig Horlbeck (0.50 sure it was them)
  32. verdict (verdict): Philip Seymour Hoffman → Boogie Nights. Craig's contrarian take: Hoffman is the same weird, goofy loner supporting guy in Boogie Nights and Twister, though he excepts The Master and Ripley.
    “I could see the Boogie Knights Twister. That connection...”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Twister’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan · 1:52:29 · Craig Horlbeck (0.60 sure it was them)

  36. theme (genre): This Is the End → Dazed and Confused. The film takes the one-crazy-night party movie and marries it to Night of the Living Dead.

  42. industry (industry): Margin Call → Succession. Producer Craig says it is indistinguishable from an HBO show like Succession, and would be a 10-part series now.
