The whole segment, as transcribed

Some of the kills, like throwing the guy into the- It's like a bar fight. Yeah. It's like, there's not a lot of, you don't ever feel like, oh my God. And we don't even really get to see like the mechanic getting killed and chained up. Right. Yeah. It's just like what Loomis sees at the end. Apex Mountain, probably nobody. Cops do it by the book t-shirts. That one definitely. Pleasant Snow. Mustafa Akkad, he probably made more movies that made more money. Don Dawson, no way. No. Right. Halloween, no. Serial killer movies, no. I couldn't think of any of them. Dwight Little? Dwight H. Little? Cops do it by the book t-shirts, probably the Apex Mountain. And Kidmont. Is it an Apex Mountain for the serial killer is back? Like he's gone for a movie. Because we had Freddy, Jason, and Myers. Yeah, but by this point, there's seven into Friday the 13th. So I feel like that's like now been established. I mean, you could almost say slasher franchises maybe are back. Yeah. Yeah. Cruiser Hanks. As who? So I think that Cruz or Hanks could play. Remember, all ages are eligible. So you could have Cruz as Don Dawson. Or young Hanks could play Brady. So can I give you old Cruz as Dr. Loomis? Cruising it up. So interesting. Like 73-year-old Tom Cruise being like, I watched him for 15 years. Like going completely fucking bonkers. Going full Cruz? Yeah. I think that's the answer, right? What do you think, Craig? Shouldn't it be for the main character? Like it should just be who should play Rachel, right? Michael Myers? Oh, the shape? I guess Myers or Rachel. Like we should be deciding between those two characters. Well, it has to be a male character though. So that's the shape, Don Dawson, or Loomis. Why can't the babysitter be a man? Oh, I see what you mean. Like switch it to a male. Like it would be Cruz or Hanks in the babysitter role. I'll tell you something. This is a very, very millennials, Gen Z. I'm not saying like the gender. No, no, no. I get it. You're saying gender flip it. I'm just saying who cares? During this time? Old Cruz. Sure. All right. Okay. We're doing Cruz or Hanks here as an exercise. It's fucking Halloween 4. How are we doing this? What's happening? Can we go old Cruz? Yeah. I like that. Racehorse, rock band, wrestler, fantasy team name? I think the shape. Haddonfield something? Haddonfielders? Oh, the Haddonfield horrors? Yeah, I like that. Haddonfield horrors? I don't know. I don't have anything. Cops Do It by the Book? Cops Do It by the Bookers? Pick and Nits. How did the kids in school know Myers was Jamie's uncle? How the fuck does that get out? This is the thing. There's three different movies happening. There's little kids who know everything about Michael Myers. I promise I'm keeping that a secret with my adopted kid. Who knows nothing. Another thing, a lot of adoption happening in Haddonfield, but adopting kids from two doors down. Lori's adopted. Jamie's adopted. What's going on in Haddonfield? Yeah. I mean, it takes a village, but still. But see, that's the thing that they, that's the meat left on the bone with the movie. Because you could paint the picture of Haddonfield as a, Haddonfield as like a totally fucked up society and community. Yeah. Because of everything that happened and like why all of these parents might have left and left their kids and all that dumb ass shit. But they didn't do any of that. They only had 11 days. Would you adopt the niece of the most notorious serial killer in your town?
