Not just eyeball tears. We're talking you want to put this much, you get that thing, you get this, a postcard, you get your name on the wall, Sam will blow you, whatever it is. We got more tears than Kramer versus Kramer, I'll tell you. Oh, yeah. Well, you didn't like White Lotus. I didn't. Interesting. I made it one episode. I'm a fan of Mike White. It just didn't... It didn't grab you.

Nah, it didn't. Interesting. The balance didn't work for me personally. I am a fan of Mike White, though. Yeah, I think he's good. You know what he's great at? And I thought the ending was weak and he got a lot of criticism for it. But he's a genius writer. But...

What he does is social commentary. He puts it in there. He peppers it in so subtly that you don't even know you're seeing social commentary. You thought that was subtle? Well, you didn't even finish it. All right. You got to finish it. Yes, I wasn't. I read about what happened. I know what happens. I read articles about it. Well, it's the journey. If I told you the score of the Knicks game at the end, you'd be like, all right, so what? Exactly.

I know, but I watched the pilot and the pilot just like, I kind of was like this. If you give me nothing that does anything for me in the pilot, I can't. It's 60 minutes of my time, man. All right. I think that's fair. But I mean, the wire pilot took me three tries and then I loved it.

- Why is top five shows ever? - I know, but it took a lot. - I know, but you're comparing this to the top five shows. Look, there's too many shows. That's the truth of it. So if you don't grip me at all in the pilot, I just, I got no knock on it. People love it. It just wasn't for me. I'm not saying it was a bad show even. I'm just saying it didn't, you know. - Yeah, not everything, I get that. Not everything's for you.

I turned to my lady friend and she was like, I said, I don't like this. And she goes, thank God. I can't stand this either. So I was like, all right. All right. I mean, it was like one of the things where I love a lot of age. Succession is my favorite show on HBO. Comes back in October. I know. Season three. I told my agents,

You got one job and it's to get me an audition on fucking Succession. Can you please, two lines. I just want to be on the show. To me, it's like got that Sopranos type of like dark humor that I love. Yes. My dad likes Succession. My dad hates everything, including me. But I said the same thing to my agent. I said, get me a curb audition. And he got me one and I didn't get it. So that's on me.

But yeah. Well, at least he got you. He got me one. Succession to me is like, it's as good as it gets. It's like funny. I mean, dramatic peep show. Jesse Armstrong. Great. Great. Who wrote it? What? Yeah. It's the peep show guy. Peep show is like the funniest show ever. What did he write? Put that together. Succession. Is that right? That's not true. Look it up. Why? That's what you got a fucking laptop for. Get on it. Sloppy jalopy.

You think this is a game, Salacuse? You think I'm fucking with you, dude? It's not a game. It's my life. Varsity Blues. All right. What do you got? Hold on. I don't want your laugh. That was Varsity Blues. Oh, yeah. That fucking turd. He's a movie. John Boyd. All right. Hold on.

Hold on. No, I liked it. I did like it. Oh, yeah. It's a turd, but I liked it. What was the fat guy's name? Boss Hogg? Or what was it? Pigfoot? What was that guy? Billy Bob. Billy Bob. There you go. That was my favorite. I think he was in Not Another Teen Movie, too. He was, yeah. They just get together like just being the actual movie. Right, right. Like, we can't find a dude as funny as you to make fun of this. You're fat as shit. You're 28. Perfect for a high school movie.

Those high school kids are all 29, 32. Every time. Every time, yeah. So fucking weird. Eat all riches in high school. What are we doing here? Never was a big fan. He had a moment. He had Scream. Scream, he was good in Scream. I take it back. And he was as good as it gets.

He was the robber. I hated him as good as it gets. Yeah. He nearly killed Greg Kinnear. Yes. As good as it gets. You can never make a movie like that nowadays. What do you mean? It's all dialogue. Well, he's racist in it and he's homophobic. And likable. And likable. Good point. That's the thing. It's like you can't make a movie where the character is multifaceted in that way. That's so true. All in the family. Now the whole movie would be like, my dad's racist.

Yeah, you're right. The movie we call My Dad's a Fucking Racist. That's a great point. I never thought that's a great point. Yeah. You couldn't do it. I'm going to die. You're going to die. It sure sounds like your son's going to die. Helen Hunt's... Jesse Armstrong. Wet t-shirt, by the way. That's the guy. Motherfucker, do I stutter? Oh, shit. That's offensive to people who stutter. Wait, get Helen Hunt in the rain while you're over there. I don't know.

As good as it gets is fucking classic. Oh, I love that movie. God bless James L. Brooks. That was letting Jack Nicholson be Jack Nicholson for an hour and a half and we all loved it. There it is. Is Jack Nicholson the greatest movie star of the last 50 years? Who's better? He might be. Who's better? I mean, Tom Hanks is up there. Who's more of a hero? De Niro.

By the way, you can argue De Niro is a better actor. You can't argue he's a better movie star. That's the thing is, is he's wow. Look at the, the Nicholson was a fucking Joker, dude. I know. And he, he cleaned up on that one, but De Niro, I don't know. I go De Niro over Nicholson.

But the thing about Nicholson is, hold on. Nicholson has the aura. He's got the mystique. He's got the sunglasses. He's at the Lakers game. Okay, so my point is De Niro is more of a chameleon, but Nicholson is more of a movie star. He's more of a movie star. I'll give you that. De Niro sucks offstage. Nicholson is awesome offstage. Yeah.

movie star, but actor De Niro. Just movies I like. It's like Hoffman. It's Pacino. It's De Niro. It's just that run, that 70s run. Those are my guys. 70s run? Chinatown? One of the Cuckoo's Nest? Cuckoo's Nest. That's a good run. Give me a third one. Five Easy Pieces? It's not great. Easy Rider? Easy Rider, motherfucker. That's 60s, but okay, I'll take it. Okay, Midnight Cowboy and Graduate are 60s, motherfucker.

Okay. Oh, we're not. We're either playing with the 60s or we're not. I'm fucking with the wrong guy. Okay, now we're going with the 60s. Now we're going with the 80s. Let's talk about The Shining. Oh, The Shining. That's the. Let's talk about Batman, motherfucker. Okay, let's talk about range. Show me some any range. That's a good point. He doesn't have the range the other guys do. That's important. The heroes can do everything. Okay, what's the last good Dustin Hoffman performance besides Meyerowitz stories? Oh, okay.

Okay, let me go to the IMDb. Nicholson's got the departed, motherfucker.

Yeah, but that wasn't great. The part is great. I like it, but it's not a great movie. It's a good movie, dude. And that whole thing with like, oh, the rats in here can smell the cheese. Like, all right, all right. This is ridiculous. We watch that movie and tell me it's not fun as hell. I love the movie. I've seen it 800 times, but also his accent was bad, too. When I tell you to bury him in the mash, you bury him in the mash. Like, ah, you can't do an accent. I'm sorry. I love you, Nicholson, but you can't do an accent. Okay, uh,

One for the Cougars nest is as good as a performance as ever. Chinatown's as cool as it gets. Okay, he's got nothing. What? Who? Hoffman's got nothing. Yeah, motherfucker, I told you. What happened to Hoffman? I heard Huckabee's in 04, which is good. He had sleepers. A lot of fuckers.

A lot of Fockers movies. He was fun in Fockers, but again, it's not acting. Kung Fu Panda, a lot of Kung Fu Panda as well. Ooh, that's a paycheck. I get it. I would never be good until Meyerowitz. I'm leaving out some good Nicholson movies. He had some good flicks. Blood and Wine was pretty cool in the 90s. He had some good flicks. As Good as It Gets is great. Softcore porn for a minute, too. Nicholson? Yeah, yeah. It basically was a softcore. I can't think of the name of it. What was it? It might have been Kathleen Turner and him.

You know what's a great Kathleen Turner flick? Body Heat, dude. Body Heat. One of the best and worst. Yeah. William Hurt. Great dialogue. What about Wolf? Wolf took him down a peg. Also, Nicholson hasn't been in anything since 2010. He's old. He doesn't need to. Hoffman is still kicking. He's still making crap. De Niro is still kicking as well. Yeah.

Yeah, Nicholson's fucking old and he did a lot of coke. Give him a break, man. He fucked everybody, too. Oh, yeah, Mars Attacks. That was fun. It wasn't that good. No, but he's fun. I've seen it a few times. I liked it in 92. Okay, a few good men, motherfucker. Oh, yeah, you can't handle the truth. Join the Patreon right now at patreon.com slash we might be drunk.
