  • A question brought forward from Unanswerables imagines an injured Trautman stranded with Rambo. The idea is rejected because Rambo already has the POWs to protect and Trautman needs to confront Murdock back at base.
  • An unanswerable asks what happens to Murdock; the answer imagines him failing upward into more powerful government positions rather than receiving justice.
  • Another unanswerable speculates about Rambo’s romantic and sexual history, with his quick attraction to Co offered as evidence of continued interest.
  • Stallone is preferred over Schwarzenegger. — Bill Simmons
  • The other preference leans slightly Arnold; both stars are described as formative figures whose legacies are linked like Bird and Magic.
  • The hosts report Stallone tied with De Niro on thirteen Rewatchables films, behind Cruise at eighteen and Pacino at fourteen; Denzel has twelve and Schwarzenegger eight, from a stated total of 454 films. This is a short ranking, not a ten-item list.
  • The hosts appreciate both aging stars continuing to work but object to Stallone recutting Rocky IV; Daylight and Lockup are discussed as future possibilities and movie selection is described as partly personal lobbying.
