  • Turkish piss streams: definitely at Apex. — Chris Ryan
  • Gabriel Byrne: no, his Apex is Miller's Crossing, plus marrying Ellen Barkin; one host has never been a fan and says he plays the same guy in every movie. — Bill Simmons
  • Kevin Pollak: yes, with A Few Good Men behind him, a hit, and talk-show popularity. — Bill Simmons
  • Stephen Baldwin: definitely, with Threesome recalled. — Bill Simmons
  • Del Toro: no. Palminteri: yes, because his juice got the movie funded. Spacey: no, despite an unbelievable 1995. — Bill Simmons
  • Peter Greene: yes, after Pulp Fiction in 1994 and this film in 1995, though his career then went the other way. — Bill Simmons
  • Turkish crime lords: none bigger; the Taken 2 villain is in the mix but does not top Kaiser. — Chris Ryan
  • The limp is proposed as the greatest limp ever filmed, and agreed. — Chris Ryan
  • Best twist in movie history is called impossible to say, with Chinatown still ahead. — Chris Ryan
  • The Baldwin brothers as a troika: Alec a near-top star after his Tom Clancy movie, Billy given every shot after Sliver, Flatliners and Backdraft, and Stephen's piece arriving with this film; both hosts agree. — Bill Simmons

  • Giancarlo Esposito is floated and another cast member, garbled in the transcript as "peep pasta weight," is called eligible, but the award goes to Peter Greene as Redfoot, with his lines quoted. — Bill Simmons
  • Any movie like this from 1992 to 2010 needed Peter Greene; the hosts say personal problems, reportedly drugs according to the internet, kept him out of more movies. — Bill Simmons
  • Greene first impressed in Nick Gomez's Laws of Gravity with Edie Falco in 1992, and the hosts are surprised he was not in Heat. — Bill Simmons
The Usual Suspects

Approx. transcript time · 00:50:57Read transcript
  • Baldwin was the second choice for McManus; the first choice, Michael Biehn, reportedly turned it down and later called it a huge mistake. — Bill Simmons
  • With Biehn it would be a less funny movie, though one host has always loved him. — Chris Ryan
  • The script went to everybody in town; Palminteri's role was offered to Chris Walken and Bob De Niro, and Walken is imagined as Kobayashi or Redfoot. — Bill Simmons
  • Al Pacino came in to read, which the hosts find suspicious. — Bill Simmons
  • Singer and McQuarrie sent Spacey the script without saying which role was his; he assumed Palminteri's or Byrne's part, but it was written with him in mind for Verbal. — Bill Simmons
  • The hosts say Redfoot was offered to a list including Walken, Tommy Lee Jones, Bridges, Charlie Sheen, Spader, Pacino and Johnny Cash before Peter Greene got it, adding "who knows if it's true". — Bill Simmons
  • Byrne, dealing with personal problems, backed out for 24 hours until the filmmakers agreed to shoot in LA, where he lived, in five weeks. — Bill Simmons
  • A joke proposes making Redfoot the Voight character from Heat to connect the universes. — Chris Ryan
