Ringer Movies: ‘Halloween II’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan
Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan dive into the 1981 sequel Halloween II, debating whether Michael Myers stands as the ultimate horror villain, breaking down their single most rewatchable scene, and hashing out fun “categories” to crown the movie’s biggest thrills. Along the way, they lean into nostalgic callbacks, rival each other’s takes on Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence, and share a few laughs about how Myers’ relentless terror never really dies.
Produced by Craig Horlbeck, Ronak Nair, Chia Hao Tat, and Eduardo Ocampo, the episode opens with a quick cold start, moves into the “GOAT Villain” showdown around 1:41, hits the rewatchable highlight reel at 33:13, and wraps with their top picks in “The Categories” at 55:51. Don’t miss shout-outs to streaming picks like A Mountain of Movies on Paramount+ and A House of Dynamite on Netflix (Oct. 24), plus a friendly reminder that “like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.”
