The whole segment, as transcribed

It's like, hey, Claire, a lot of a ghost is living with me. He sneaks out her phone and looks at her Instagram algorithm for the for you stuff and it's like, what is going on? Why is your top bookmark missing persons? Everything's haunted or missing. Yeah. Apex Mountain, Fyfer and Ford, no. Absolutely not. Ghost movies, no. No. Cheating Husband come up in some movies, maybe. Remar, no. Haunted House movies, no. No. Zemeckis, no. No. Waterlogged Corpse coming back to life and coming involved in the plot. I mean, there's some Pirates of the Caribbean horses. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. Right? Yeah. Caribbean. Do we have this in the finals for naked? Caribbean. Sorry. Naked ghost bodies with The Shining? Oh, I think The Shining. When Jack looks in the mirror and all of a sudden it's like a gross lady. To me, that's like a one versus 16 seed. Yeah. That's not even that close. Yeah. I didn't have any Apex Mounds. Cinematic Vermont. They could have done, I feel like this is a moment. It's not bad. Yeah. It's pretty good. I like it. Yeah. That or Grown Ups 2? Where'd they film Grown Ups 2? Where's they film Grown Ups 2 off the top of my head? It's a good movie. You're the best. It's a big kids movie. Yeah. My kids love Grown Ups 2. We own it. I love kids. Cruiser Hanks. I have Hanks just because he's a Bobby Zemeckis. I'm shocked. I'm astonished. Evil Hanks? Yeah. It's Zemeckis' guy. This is one of your worst. I hope this is your worst call of 2026. Yeah. I really do. Boy. I hope we've peaked right here. I mean. It's so clearly Cruz. I'm going to double for this and not for I would have killed Michelle Pfeiffer with challenge. No. That's why you're the best. That's why you're a legend. Cruz. Think of all the things Cruz would want to do in this. It's obviously Cruz. He would want to turn evil at the end. Yeah. He would want to have like the sexy scene. For sure. He would want to have the scene when he realizes she's possessed and is trying to get away from her. Yeah. I think Chris is right. Counterpoint. No. I think Chris is right. Cruz. What? I think it's Hanks. Cruz has just done my fucked up marriage movie with Eyes Wide Shut. He's not going to go fucking do What Lies Beneath. That's a good point. This is exactly if Hanks was caring about like counter-programming his image. But he can't. Yeah. If we're going to bring in the where are they in their real schedules then Hanks is eliminated for consideration. How do you fucking do this movie and lose weight at the same time? What about the girl in the beard? Why can't Norman have a beard? He. I. I'm sorry. But when Claire is running her fingers through Norman's pectoral chest hair. Have you seen Tom Cruise? You can't be like you've been alone lancing your gums with an ice skate on an island. That's just not the vibe. Well, Cast Away, right? Yeah. Oh, true. Yeah.
