I think the only one I would definitely say yes to here is, is Kinto, right? Cause he produced the movie. He's one of the stars. He's in with all these great actors and it felt like he was moving to another level and that, and then that after this worked, I think it had a chance.

He said 559,020 days, but it was actually 5.5 million, 90,200 days. That's on the internet. This is why we do this. He was way off. He shortchanged himself by 10 times. Apex Mountain. I think the only one I would definitely say yes to here is, is Kinto, right? Cause he produced the movie. He's one of the stars. He's in with all these great actors and it felt like he was moving to another level and that, and then that after this worked, I think it had a chance. Other than that, these are all actors that, would you say Paul Bettany? You would, you'd go for him too? I think so. I think it made him, I think it jumped Paul Bettany to the top of a lot of casting lists and whatever decisions he made. But like, I, I think that he showed in this movie how charismatic he is and powerful. And it's like, yeah, I think he became a true leading man and I'm a huge fan of his, but I think he became like a real leading man. I'm a fan too. In this movie. Would you say Wall Street movies? I would probably say no for Wall Street movies, which raises the question, what's the answer? Uh, I don't know. If you're Kinto and you've played Spock, right? You know, that's, that's kind of, he's so good at it too. And he's terrific. And, you know, again, it's like, you don't want to dump on, I mean, for irons, the guy won an Oscar 30 years ago. I mean, he's got all sorts of television stuff that I'm not even, you know, I'm not even as locked in on some of the awards that he's gotten for all that. Uh, and I don't think you can go Simon Baker either. So this one's pretty tough, but with Bettany, I mean, is, is he better in A Beautiful Mind? Well, he's, I mean, he's in the Avengers franchise and I think that's, it's gotta be something tied to that if you're going Apex Mountain. I mean, he's a whole generation of all these people know him just from that. Yeah. Yeah. And, and JC's continued to make great stuff. Like all his loss got nominated too in categories. So I don't think maybe JC in a way, because it's like the launching, like that's the answer. JC's a good one. JC Chandler became, uh, you know, he went to, he became an A-list director in one 17 day plus four days of writing. You know what I mean? The fact that he pulled this off, people are greenlighting whatever your next. He's an A-list director. That's it. Best racehorse name. You have a racehorse name from this movie or is it just Margin Call? I could see Margin Call winning the Kentucky Derby. I mean, a racehorse called John Told is pretty good. Oh, that is good. I like that. Picky Nets. The cancer stricken dog and the shovel. It's, it's a little much. It's styled up by about 27%. The symbolism of it. Although that shot, I think is the prettiest shot in the movie. I get it. I'm just saying it's a little doubt of. Although that's the prettiest shot in the movie. I, I, it's the one thing in the movie that I, the, the, the dog obsession. I know why it's there, but maybe on the sixth day of writing, JC would have changed it. Simon Baker's character is named Jared Cohen. Cohen. That's one of the worst. You totally don't look like the name of your character name choices. That's the LeVon Kendall award. Right. I can almost make that an award. The Simon Baker as Jared Cohen award. I don't know what he looks like, but he definitely doesn't look like a Jared Cohen. I wouldn't have gone with that. And then, uh, I, listen, I don't know enough about the whole financial world, but I just, I find it hard to believe nobody had any idea that they were over leveraged like this. They, it's this kajillion dollar company that has all these assets and they do touch on it though. I mean, I get it, but it's just like a year ago. Yeah. These things were built. These tranches were built in a really, I mean, Ryan's read all these tranches of these securitized mortgages were built in very confusing ways to almost everybody. They would call something triple a, you know, like they would just call something triple a, but it wasn't, it was triple a for this bunch of shit. And so like they, and it worked and worked and worked and worked as you know, dude, from big short, like the only like five people real Michael Berry. The reason he made a billion dollars was like all these banks didn't believe him. But see, I think that's another side.
