  • Jack Nicholson in the Bruce Dern part would have been amazing, though he would not have done it; it is called a great call.
  • A game of replacing Brad and Leo: Ben and Matt (height difference), Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. (with a joke about cancel standings), and Jude Law and Matt Damon, which is welcomed.
  • Flipping the roles would not be as good, since Leo is less physically imposing as Cliff.
  • Jake Gyllenhaal and Gerard Butler is mocked, and Downey with Clooney is rejected as too old.
