Spielberg, he could make the case. Raiders, E.T. and Poltergeist. Oh, you mean the era. Just this week right here. Yeah. Like when did he have more juice than this?

The whole segment, as transcribed
I just get awesome mannings. Yep. So apparently this story was inspired by an incident in the late 80s in Denver where this whole cemetery thing actually happened. In the late 1800s. Yeah. And then that's it. Apex Mountain. Spielberg, he could make the case. Raiders, E.T. and Poltergeist. Oh, you mean the era. Just this week right here. Yeah. Like when did he have more juice than this? I mean, this was the making of Steven Spielberg. Yeah, this is it. He could do it every one after this. Craig T. Nelson. It's hard. Probably not. Probably not. Yeah. Jo Beth Williams, yes. Yeah, for sure. Creepy Clowns in a Bedroom. That's it. I agree. Portals? Portals. Portals in a Closet, definitely. Portals in a Closet, for sure, yeah. Ghost movies? Family ghost movies, I think. Yeah. I think this is the apex. Cursed real life movies. Oh, for sure. I think it is too. Hooper also did Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Yeah, no, that's his claim to fame. This movie is probably not as connected to him as, you know. And people also thought Spielberg did it. And then Frantic Escapes from a Fucked Up Ponded House. It's this versus Amityville in the finals, and I don't know who wins. He goes back and gets the dog at Amityville Horror. They're like, Dad, you got to get the dog. Mm-hmm. I would have gone back to get Murph. You would have gone back to get Bozeman. Oh, for sure. Goes back, comes running back with the dog. Yeah. That's pretty good. But this is, him screaming, don't look back. I think that's probably the goat. And to be honest with you, another Spielbergian part of it is, is the very last scene where they put the TV outside. Yeah. You get to have a little laugh. Right. A little bit of heart, like when you leave the theater. Cruz or Hanks? Oh, shit. Cruz. Cruz. Oh, I think this is absolutely Hanks. It is. This is the most Hanks. It is. It's easiest Hanks win in a while. It's Hanks. It's Hanks. But I would want to see Cruz. I want to see. He'd have to be the star, though. He'd have to go in the portal. Hanks would let the wife go in the portal. Has Cruz ever done anything scary type? No, because it's a Scientology thing, I think. Oh, yeah. That's true. I don't know why. I want to see him in a scary type situation. I want to see him disheveling and all of that. But obviously, Hanks is the American everyman father type of guy. Craig? Hanks. 100%. Come on, fan. I apologize. Racehorse, rock band, wrestler, or fantasy team name? Poltergeist Pools? Poltergeist. I'll just go Poltergeist for the horse. Poltergeist? Yeah. Oh, Poltergeist for the horse.
