  • McQuarrie is picked because the film is now watched with different eyes, the script is a favorite, and he has gone on to great work.
  • Asked who it would have been in 2000 or 2015, the answer is probably Spacey.
  • For 20 years it was Spacey, whose 1995 with Seven and the Oscar was a Tommy Lee Jones moment, but now it is McQuarrie.
  • The other host agrees ("I think you're right") that it is McQuarrie; "Stephen Baldwin, in my heart" is added.
  • Baldwin is compared to the Starship Troopers lead who played it completely straight, carrying himself like the star though not one of the five biggest.
