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. — Bill Simmons
- 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. — Van Lathan
- Phylicia Rashad is added as a possible Meg.
Casting What-Ifs
Rashad replaces Apollo’s earlier wife performer; no alternative candidates

- 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. — Bill Simmons

- Nominees are Tessa Thompson, Wood Harris and Andre Ward, with the PTI hosts named winners for an in-universe Apollo Creed legacy segment ('Oh, I don't know, Tony').
- Another suggestion is the actor playing Leo's father, heard as Richie Costa, also of True Detective season two, who looked related to Leo, played by real fighter Gabriel Rosado; 'That'd be my vote.'
- Asked next, a panelist picks Rashad: sports-movie cutaways to people watching are a flaw in nearly every sports movie, with Secretariat's race montage the best exception, but her fired-up reaction during the fight makes it worth it. — Wesley Morris
- A Diane Lane aside follows, with lifetime Diane Lane season tickets and a teased Unfaithful rewatchable. — Wesley Morris
- Another panelist did not vote for Rashad because Apollo's wife from Rocky IV was not brought back, hoping that actress at least auditioned. — Bill Simmons
