- Kevin Klaid (as transcribed) is the instant answer, with 'can't believe this is a podcast' and 'that was easy', followed by agreement and a shout-out to Ving Rhames.
- A stealth case is made for Ivan Reitman, since this kind of movie is really hard to do with the right tone and could go wrong in so many ways; it may be his last great movie, after a resume of Stripes, Meatballs, Ghostbusters, Twins and Kindergarten Cop, with Junior in 94, Six Days and Seven Nights and Evolution less impressive, his style specific to a time period and this the last confluence of those events.
- Reitman's two interesting movies this decade, No Strings Attached and Draft Day, would probably have been huge hits in 1986 or 1988; No Strings Attached, written by Liz Merriweather (as transcribed) of New Girl under a cruder original script title, is judged better than Friends with Benefits, features Kevin Kline, and the hosts admit they all like it; you're in safe hands with Ivan Reitman, who has never made a bad movie.
