In the discussion (4)

Approx. transcript time · 01:03:54Read transcript

Miller reportedly declined Taxi Driver for The Nickel Ride and is identified as Jason Patric’s father. — Bill Simmons
The crucifix dialogue is described as a slowed recording of Blair; Miller reportedly expected pea soup on his chest but was hit more broadly. — Bill Simmons

Stand by Me The Rewatchables July 14, 2020

Eyeball recast with an era actor such as Jason Patric

In the discussion (2)

Approx. transcript time · 01:05:06Read transcript

Eyeball is all nickname and the actor is not especially great; a better-known actor of the era such as Jason Patric or Charlie Sheen would make it more fun. — Bill Simmons
Emilio Estevez has Eyeball energy but was too famous; Christian Bale or Christian Slater are also floated at a Jason Patric, pre-Lost Boys level. — Bill Simmons

The Firm The Rewatchables December 11, 2018

Jason Patric turned down Mitch; Meryl Streep was wanted for a gender-swapped Avery until Grisham objected; Robin Wright turned down Abby; Halle Berry auditioned for the woman on the beach

In the discussion (3)

Approx. transcript time · 00:48:49Read transcript

Jason Patric turned down Mitch two years before Speed 2; Cruise was probably Plan B and expensive, the biggest star in the world at the time.
Gene Hackman joined late because the producers wanted to gender-swap Avery and cast Meryl Streep until John Grisham objected; one host thinks it might be a better movie without the beach scene, but another says Hackman is why the film makes sense, and Streep never played that older, divorced, sexualized, secretly bad character.
Robin Wright turned down Abby, as she seemed to for every movie, and Halle Berry auditioned for the woman on the beach, which one host would have preferred.
