The whole segment, as transcribed
Ended up separating a shoulder and breaking a finger. Kept it going. And then the stadium, which was supposed to be in Paris, was actually Budapest MTK Stadium in Hungary. That's supposed to be Le Cologne Stadium in Paris, I guess. Apex Mountain. Stallone, no way. Pele, no. Michael Caine, no. Ipswich Town, I feel like yes. I think Ipswich Town's got a couple of trophies, but they really repped in this movie. They really did a good job. The trophies and then leading right into this. And I think it's just a great run for them. Werner Roth, probably not. John Huston, no. Soccer? No. No. Ozzy Ardiles. I'm still going with the 1978 World Cup. Dobermans? No. Good Doberman performing in this movie, but no. I think there are some other World War II movies where Dobermans really showed out. Yeah. The Dobermans, man. Fucking frightening every time. How about two-man sit-ups? These are really good. I don't know if I've seen them done better in a movie. So it's maybe Apex Mountain for old school calisthenics. For just like jog it out, do a couple of squats, you know, no cardio. Yeah. No question. Good Nazis. Is there a better good Nazi performance? There's a couple of pretty nice ones in Great Escape where they're like, why did you come to fight this war? You know, like real, like pacifist Nazis. I'm going with Von Saito. Von Saito, not Apex Mountain for him, but he's great in this movie. No, he's got some Ingmar Bergman joints that I think are pretty big. Can I go Apex Mountain for the word bloody? Mmm. Michael Caine says the word bloody in this movie the way they say the word fucking Wolf of Wall Street. Like he's just like bloody boots and these bloody balls and these bloody, it's just, it's great. All right, we're going to pick some nits. This is going to be the most important part of the podcast, but we need a break for this. This episode is brought to you by ChatGPT. Imagine you're running a professional sports team. Nice.

I've been waiting for this for so long that for some reason my dog Murph just decided to jump into the Zoom. He wants to witness greatness. This movie, I don't know if this movie has an unusual amount of picky nits or I've just seen it so many times. You just notice stuff the more and more times you've seen it. But we'll go in no particular order. Hatch agrees to get recaptured. He's out. What does he care about? Anybody else at that point? I'm out. He doesn't have a personal relationship with those guys, doesn't know how to play the sport, and is home free in France. Done. Yeah. Even met a girl. He's out. The way he's set up as a character, he should just be gone.
