Approx. transcript time · 01:20:29Read transcript

• A bigger-name Meg is considered: Burstyn or Field, with Field judged too prominent for the small part.
• Sarandon, MacLaine and Winger are considered for Meg; Winger seems too young and excessive sexual appeal is treated as a mismatch.
• Darlene Love as Meg is enthusiastically supported, revising the earlier anti-diversity joke.
• Phylicia Rashad is added as a possible Meg.

Approx. transcript time · 01:22:47Read transcript

• Casting what-ifs: no reliable alternative casting is offered; Omar Epps and Meryl Streep are explicitly jokes. The panel attributes Phylicia Rashad replacing Apollo’s earlier wife performer to that actor’s death, a reported claim requiring separation from external credits.
