The whole segment, as transcribed
absolutely what do you say probably some would say the russians some would say disinformation on facebook line some would say a backlash to an ignored middle of the country resulted in the 2016 election i'm saying it's uh it's it's it's it's doug lyman's fault i agree apex mountain blunt we're sure it's not lyman right is lyman born born it's born because he still had some kwan back then man i think even because he has never had everything is running smoothly like even coming off of swingers there's that whole story about how like favreau didn't talk to him for years because he had like side negotiated a deal did you read about that no there's like this whole thing where like john favreau and doug lyman were really not cool with each other for a while because lyman had like kind of like carved out some some part of his agreement for making swingers that were basically he got paid where other people didn't um so even going back to then it's not like he ever had like a really smooth go of it and then born obviously like even though that was a huge success very troubled shoot and then he was removed from the franchise i mean they obviously decided not to go forward with him so i i think born would probably be as apex mountain in terms of that was when everybody was like man maybe doug lyman figured out action movies but he obviously did not didn't he squandered it i mean he he clearly figured them out i mean his action movies are some of the best action movies it's just that i it seems very difficult to make them and there seems to be some real risks involved in in making them it's funny to think about blunt like she did appear in a lot of big budget actiony movies in the aftermath of the devil wears prada she's in the wolfman remember the wolfman oh yeah yeah um and she was in the adjustment bureau the science fiction and then snow white right and then she was in snow white a few years after this one uh or the huntsman really the huntsman winter's war um but she's usually playing that sort of that that woman that female character who doesn't have a lot to do and this is the movie that where she really gets to flex her muscles literally and figuratively um it's this or sicario i think for me i mean i know i know that different people there's there's probably some disagreements there but i i would say this or sicario it's probably apex for me okay who won the movie this is a great question sean this is we usually like get to the end of these and we're just kind of like well we've obviously made the case for nothing it seems more recently than not pacino in some some regard but i'm gonna say cruise but i don't feel like you can easily talk me into blunt there's an obvious answer here chris is it uh donald trump it's donald john trump this is tough this is really tough um i think the crews and lyman and blunt all have kind of a lot to be proud of for the movie i think it will probably end up being one of certainly one of the most liked emily blunt and doug lyman movies cruise i don't know where it probably fits in the top 20 somewhere i think it with the cruise you're you're you're grading against such a tough curve so it's like yes this movie is awesome it's i i would still put war of the worlds like way ahead of this movie you know yeah no i agree with you i think it's i still think it's really great and it is really rewatchable and the the resetting quality is still surprising to me you know like the way that it's cut and the way that it moves any any lasting final thoughts on edge of tomorrow you kind of just touched on the last thing i was going to say is it's been a while since we did a movie where you specifically can like pick it up almost anywhere within the first hour and enjoy it i think once you get past the farmhouse you you know you should just reset it if you can on demand or something but if you catch this on cable and they are 20 minutes into the movie
