no there's been better cigar I guess but Sorvino was before yes Sorvino and I guess Sorvino and uh here's my big one Rob Morrow who's still on Northern Exposure at this point when this movie comes out and yet it's not as Apex Mountain because his Apex Mountain was in 1992 as Northern Exposure was exploding and he hosted Saturday Night Live with musical guest Nirvana wow yeah you that's it that's like the definition of Apex Mountain it was their first appearance um and uh that's pretty good Bill he's still in the TikTok Instagram he's like ladies gentlemen Nirvana and then they just kick it as smell that smells like teen spirit Cruz or Hanks who do you have Cruz no I know Cruz Cruz for what part I think Cruz as Dick Goodwin would have been kind of amazing I think it's Cruz and Hanks and Cruz is yuppie Van Doren Hanks is Goodwin but if you think about Cruz in the mode from Rain Man where he's just like a hard like in this where he's this like killer guy like in the beginning of the movie when when he's like they're making fun of him in the all right okay I think he I think he over cruises the movie okay wait Craig come on for this I think Cruz comes in he's right in that he's in he made a few good men a year before he's still in that Cruz over the top I got to have one or two scenes where I do Cruz stuff and I don't I don't think he pulls it back I don't think he had the ability to pull it back enough as Goodwin what do you think Craig I think I think he just makes more sense as like the slick east coast wealthy I think he could pull that off as the son but he never played a guy who read but he never I don't think he I think he chose his role so smart but just so intelligently because I don't think he plays a guy who spent all that time in the library that Charles Van Doren did that's fair he I don't know if he has that bookish appeal maybe I don't know if he could pull that off but I was gonna say he's in the firm he studies in the firm but it's like they're making me you know I got to study but you never feel like he's a guy who loves learning for the sake of learning which is that's the whole thing about these you know like like Van Doren didn't know that's that great moment when Turturro's like say a number you know and then he rattles off it's like these people did know an incredible amount of shit they were really smart and educated they just unfortunately were human I was gonna go late 80s Hanks as Van Doren and he kind of I think I can't remember the movie maybe it was volunteers where he played like a wealthy like hoity-toity kind of character like this but I think he could have done it so you say Craig you said Hanks or Cruz I'll go Hanks I've been convinced that it's Hanks all right Hanks wins Scorsese or Spielberg ironically Scorsese is in
