  • Not Terry Garr, both agree; Michael Keaton won the movie, which is not a controversial take: he is very likable and skates through a premise that could go wrong with total charm.
  • The hosts miss having a 2019 version of this era's Keaton, a funny, likable, approachable and unpredictable guy in his late twenties; Chris Evans tried to be that person but is not funny, is too obviously hot and is a bit of a jerk.
  • Keaton is handsome in an approachable, attainable way, confident without being a jerk or edgy; famous people now need a thing, while Keaton and Tom Hanks were in the running for so long because both were everymen, and nobody fills that role now despite many trying.
