The Rewatchables is brought to you by Amazon Prime. Ever finish a movie and the next thing you know, you're totally obsessed? Like I'm talking about ordering a book on 70s film lighting. Is that you, CR? It's me. How many lighting books do you have? I'm the guy leaving all those reviews saying five stars. Or buying the soundtrack on vinyl? Well, you're kind of obsessed.

54.438 - 63.081 Van Lathan

A man who went to heaven before his time. I'm not supposed to be here. Well, you guys made a mistake. And came back to life in the body of another man.

63.101 - 72.386 Chris Ryan

That's me. Inwardly, you haven't changed. You're still Joe Pendleton. That's what you and I see. But outwardly, you're Leo Francois. And that's what everyone else will see.

72.846 - 77.489 Van Lathan

Warren Beatty. Julie Christie. Heaven can wait. Rated PG.

95.157 - 99.441 Bill Simmons

All right, Heaven Can Wait, our first Warren Beatty movie. You said this was one of your favorite movies.

99.821 - 113.352 Van Lathan

Absolutely. How come? It was on all the time when I was a kid. And, you know, looking back at it and doing some research on the movie, didn't have any idea that it was taken as seriously as what it was. Like a real critical and commercial hit.
