The whole segment, as transcribed
In Grand Theft Auto, you should walk into an arena and get to play rollerball. Think about it. That's the most logical thing. It could be in GTA the next year. It could be in the one that comes out right the month before I die. That's when they could, you know what I mean? For 30 years from now, they'll get that one in. Apex Mountain. James Caan. It's right around here for him. Because Godfather's been a couple years. He's in a movie with Barbra Streisand the same year when she's probably the biggest female lead. And I think it's right around here. The Gambler just come out. He's making a bunch of movies. And he has, the wheels haven't come off yet. So I would say maybe yes. Okay. Plus this movie did well. Can't argue. Fake, fake created sports in a sports movie. I'm also going to say yes. Unless you want to go dodgeball. No, you're, this is it. Dick Enberg, no. Dick Enberg in a movie, also no. Because he's better in heaven can wait. Because you can see him. Maude Adams. She was in Tattoo with Bruce Dern, which I think I might have seen when I was a teenager and don't remember that much of, but it's probably this. She's a huge model though. This was the era where the 70s, they would just grab a famous model and just throw them in a movie. Norman Jewison, no. It's probably In the Heat of the Night. I mean, Cincinnati Kid, Hurricane. I mean, no, you got to say Moonstruck because the Oscars and stuff, it's got to be Moonstruck. But I mean, that Poitier movie. Yeah, it's a great movie. That kind of crush. Oh no, great, great, great, great, great movie. Not, of course. But later, I always think that the guy later in the, I always think like, yes, but I always think a guy that had this happen when it comes back and it's Moonstruck, like, and everyone's celebrating this guy. But that's a career highlight. I'm talking more like, when did he have the most juice? Oh yeah. Okay. Probably late 60s. Sure, yes. Houston as a sports city. Did you go here or would you go Hakeem Rockets? The Jonathan E. era? Dan Pastorini and Earl Campbell. Well, that's like right after Jonathan E. John Beck, it's clearly 60 episodes of Dallas. John Hausman, no. No. Probably Paper Chase. It's got to be. Setting pine trees on fire, 100%. And then just roller skating. Roller skating, maybe. Did we ever do better in a roller skating movie? No. No. This is the coolest it ever looked, for sure. All right. Most important part of the podcast for you. Cruise or Hanks for the lead? It's Cruise and a Walk. It's not even close. It's not even close. This would have been an amazing Cruise movie. No, no. But Hanks, if he wanted to do the dark turn, could play the Hausman role. He'd be amazing, because you believe that he cared about Jonathan.
