Role written for Rene Russo

- McCord seems to overact or inhabit another film, countered as simply his usual personality; Russo's finale reactions are another candidate.
- Golf-room humor is distinguished from general comic talent, comparing McCord, Feherty and Blake Griffin. — Bill Simmons
Apex Mountain
Rene Russo in 1996; Ransom for kidnapping movies; Gibson-Russo pairing
In the discussion (7)
Approx. transcript time · 01:09:16Read transcript
- Gibson's Apex is Braveheart, the year before. — Bill Simmons
- Russo made this and Tin Cup in the same year opposite Costner and Gibson and never had more juice than 1996: Apex Mountain for her. — Bill Simmons
- Ransom may be the Apex Mountain for kidnapping movies, as a big moneymaker that overtly announced itself as a kidnap movie, maybe the most popular ever. — Bill Simmons
- It is not Delroy Lindo's Apex; his steady run (Crooklyn, Clockers, Get Shorty, Broken Arrow, Ransom, The Devil's Advocate) had no clear peak, but if he had one it was Crooklyn, where he was the lead. — Bill Simmons
- Sinise's Apex is probably Apollo 13, coming off Gump. — Bill Simmons
- The Gibson-Russo combo was peaking right around now; Jackie Brown as a movie character is also noted, with a Jackie Brown movie the next year. — Bill Simmons
- Whether the couple's apartment is the Apex Mountain for rich-guy New York apartments is asked; it is called amazing, worth a deleted scene, and a revelation to someone from Louisiana, though Gecko is another candidate. — Bill Simmons
Casting What-Ifs
Dyan Cannon for Rachel Phelps; Jeremy Piven’s deleted bench-jockey role
In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 00:55:51Read transcript
- The filmmakers wanted Diane Cannon as owner Rachel Phelps, while the studio wanted Margaret Whitton, who got the role. — Bill Simmons
- Jeremy Piven played a bench jockey whose material was deleted from the finished movie. — Bill Simmons
- Rene Russo’s appearance is noted as her first movie role, although it is biographical context rather than an alternate casting. — Bill Simmons
