Tim: I think there’s a piece here
Ted: was real worried we had a “situation” in here
Assume arnoldthethird has it under control
Tim: Just copy paste the transcript and publish it
Ted: also it’s Crowe
ohldewankenobi: We’re just plotting to kill Tom Cruise
Ted: Because Tom Cruise is crazy and I love him
dude learned how to fly a god damn helicopter
Crowe just made “Unhinged”
Arnoldthethird: Any 90s actor race starts with Hanks and Denzel
Hanks from 93-02 literally didn’t miss once
He won 7 titles and 5 MVPs while leading the league in scoring 9 times
It’s an all time run
Tim: I’d go back to 88
Arnoldthethird: Quality/quantity for that run is wild
Tim: Big, Punchline, The ‘Burbs, Turner & Hooch…
Ohldewankenobi: Hanks has had the greatest career ever for his level of volume imo
Ted: whispers should have won Oscar for Castaway
Tim: Yeah, he got robbed. I think that was just Hanks fatigue
Ohldewankenobi: Wilson should have won an Oscar for makeup
Ted: If Hanks and Denzel are Magic and Bird so to speak.. Who is Lebron. Damon?
Arnoldthethird: Hanks won Best Actor in consecutive years which will probably never happen again
Ohldewankenobi: Gene Hackman
Ted: And I’m very drunk
Ohldewankenobi: Or Eastwood
Tim: I don’t know that I can call Denzel Magic. Magic was too versatile. He played PG-C
Ohldewankenobi: I know I’m forgetting names off the top of my head
Tim: Denzel is very good. He’s an Olajuwon
Ted: Not sure there is a Lebron. who gets you in the theater no matter what.
Ohldewankenobi: Denzel is better than Olajuwon
Ted: Pitt is Pippen. Always sidekick
Solid solo. but better in assemble
Arnoldthethird: Denzel is Shaq. Not a spotless record but his ceiling is higher than 95% of his peers
Ted: ohhhh
Tim: Yeah, Shaq is probably a better comparison
Ohldewankenobi: DW has had – at worst – the 3rd greatest acting career since 1990
The Shaq comp is a pretty good one
Tim: Maybe top 3-5 filmography, but I don’t know I’m putting his acting in that range.
Ohldewankenobi: You are grossly underrating his acting imo
ted: Two Oscar’s, should have more
arnoldthethird: Him not winning for Malcolm X is the most egregious since Pacino not winning for godfather 2
Ohldewankenobi: I’d love to see your top 5 if he isn’t in it
Ted: It’s bothering me there is no Lebron, but movie business has changed
Tim: He’s really good. I’ve mentioned it before; he’s lacking on good comedic performances
Arnoldthethird: DiCaprio is Bron. Wunderkind who was hyped and somehow exceeded expectations.
Ohldewankenobi: There it is
Ted: But if you see Leo in trailer you gonna buy a ticket
Who bought tickets to the Relevant?
Tim: DiCaprio strikes me more like a Westbrook.
Ohldewankenobi: Denzel is one of only three living people to have 8+ best actor nominations btw
I sort of forgot about the other ones
Ted: I want to say Cruise is Lebron based on spectacle aspect (edited)
Arnoldthethird: Cruise is Ray Allen. HOFer who became known for one skill his last 6-7 years and people forgot that early in his career he was extremely versatile
Moldy: Brad Pitt is Kobe, If Leo is LeBron
arnoldthethird: And Clooney is Durant. Effortless, efficient. You look up and he somehow has 27 on 12 shots without breaking a sweat
Aaron: Bill Hader is Barkley. Super strong and versatile.
Tim: …..
Aaron, you are the Mark Madsen of analogies.
Maybe the Brian Scalabrine
Vos: Damn y’all kept going hard. Glad I went to bed since I got up at 5:30 :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
Levi Larson: This was fucking great to wake up to
gookin: Bill Hader also has a fantastic (small) part in the intro to Pineapple Express @ted. We’d quote that scene every single day in school
Aaron: You dont want none of this smoke Vos. I’ll start up a zoom call and have
jsteyz put you in your place while aggressively eating a raw cucumber…
Jsteyz: Aaron I want you to know I am HERE for any and all Bill Hader love and will back you up 100000%
Levi Larson: Wait did I miss Vos saying he doesn’t like Hader?
Cuz we need to have a chat then, sir
Vos: No he just doesn’t belong in the convo of those 4 imo
Aaron: None of the rest of those guys have the range to play Stefon.
Levi Larson: I mean this with no irony at all:
Cruise would do the best Stefon of those four.
Aaron: Yeah that’s probably true.
Levi Larson: As evidence, I present his role in Tropic Thunder. He is willing to go there
Jsteyz: His intensity is so unsettling though. Stefon works for me because Hader is not a creep but gets there for the comedy, cruise’s Stefon would be absolutely terrifying
spencerhughes: Bill Hader is really good in Barry. Different kind of character for him for sure
Moldy: Love Hader he’s a definitely 3 and D type all star
Ted: someone should make this a piece,
