- Recasting the TV reporter is deferred from the aged-worst discussion to this segment. — Bill Simmons
- An early-1990s option is sought for the reporter: Markie Post and Dana Wheeler-Nicholson are proposed.
- A young Sandra Bullock, around the time of Love Potion No. 9, is proposed as an up-and-coming reporter; the film is judged unkind to the press. — Bill Simmons

- Answer A is that the movie is perfect and should not be touched; Answer B asks whether someone better than Brigitte could have played the part. — Bill Simmons
- Marky Post, recently deceased and underrated, from Night Court and The Fall Guy, is offered for Brigitte's role, though the proposer is unsure she would have made it scarier. — Bill Simmons
- As a joke, Bull from Night Court could be the Night Slasher. — Bill Simmons
- A serious recast gets the band back together: Dolf Lundgren as the Night Slasher, bigger and scarier, with Bert Young as the partner. — Kyle Brandt
- The reply is that Dolph would overshadow the role, which needs a new face. — Bill Simmons
- Carl Weathers as the sidekick in the Reni Santoni role and Adrian in Brigitte's role, killed by the Night Slasher, would both have been enjoyed. — Bill Simmons
