Approx. transcript time · 01:18:38Read transcript
  • Michael Mann and Brad Pitt might create a bigger, more psychologically detailed film; California remains necessary for the gang context. — Chris Ryan
  • Pablo Schreiber, younger Gerard Butler and Hemsworth are considered; Reynolds and Gyllenhaal are doubted, Gosling floated, and Adam Driver becomes the preferred pick. — Chris Ryan

Sydney Sweeney; husband unresolved; Brad Pitt; gender-swapped Angela Bassett

Approx. transcript time · 00:42:45Read transcript
  • Scarlett Johansson is raised as a contemporary Moore comparison before Sydney Sweeney is proposed for a remake. — Bill Simmons
  • For Sydney Sweeney’s husband, a younger Adam Driver is considered; Glen Powell is rejected as too attractive and Miles Teller is viewed as a better candidate. — Mallory Rubin
  • Jacob Elordi and Paul Mescal are rejected as too attractive for the desired contrast; Elordi’s height is also noted. — Bill Simmons
  • A producer identified in the transcript as Linda Oakes describes Harrelson’s appeal to women as both adorable and adventurous; the name remains uncertain. — Bill Simmons
  • Rory Culkin is proposed before the Succession actor is corrected to Kieran; Jeremy Strong follows, but the age gap with Sweeney draws an objection.
  • Brad Pitt is favored over “Leo” (surname not spoken) for Gage because of his resemblance to and career association with Redford. — Bill Simmons
  • A gender-swapped Gage prompts an emphatic Angela Bassett choice; Halle Berry and Nicole Kidman are additional candidates, while Reese Witherspoon is a joking contrast. — Bill Simmons
