‘The Good Son’Bill Simmons

Mikey, then Good Son (double feature of similar 'evil kid' movies)

‘The Good Son’Sean Fennessey

Home Alone paired with The Good Son, since a prevailing theory holds Kevin from Home Alone is secretly the villain/demon of that film, making it a funny thematic pairing

‘Domestic Disturbance’Bill Simmons

The Stepfather

‘Domestic Disturbance’Chris Ryan

Be Cool (as a Travolta palate cleanser, paired with Face/Off)

‘Domestic Disturbance’Sean Fennessey

Comments that pairing makes 'this movie' look worse, implying the stepfather is better than the other film in the pairing

Scorned with Shannon Tweed

‘The Hand That Rocks the Cradle’Chris Ryan

Single White Female paired with Sleeping with the Enemy

‘The Hand That Rocks the Cradle’Joanna Robinson

‘Single White Female’Bill Simmons

The Net + The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (finals of dumbest 90s movie characters)

‘Single White Female’Van Lathan

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle + Single White Female (underrated date movie double feature)

‘2001: A Space Odyssey’Bill Simmons

2001: A Space Odyssey paired with The Shining (watch 2001 first, then The Shining) to see connections/influences between the two Kubrick films
