I mean, I would stupidly try and know I think it would be very difficult, but I would totally stupidly try. Yes. I don't want to step on the roller. I don't want to step on the roller ball pod, but I do think that movies, I think when a movie is 50 years old, I'm ready to at least discuss the remake. Except for maybe The Godfather, that's it. And ignore that there was one. That movie's old. I still love it. But yeah, it's old. I get it. I feel like jaws is untouchable. There's some untouchables. That is. Don't enjoy them now. You can't touch them. The Godfather can't be touched. Look, I think that the thing is, it's funny, you know, yes, of course, James Caan isn't Robert Redford and to say it isn't fair. But on the other hand, sunny Corleone is up there or maybe surpasses anything that readford ever did. It's certainly up there. I mean, Sundance. He played Sundance kid and three does the condor and whatever, but Sony Corleone is that's why it is as great and as important and as exciting and as memorable and as singular movie performance as has ever been put down on screen. And one guy did that. And that guy is James come. Well, that's the thing. If you go Mount Rushmore for best characters he played, you'd have to have sunny Corleone, absolutely. We'd have to have Jonathan oh. I think you have to have Brian piccolo. And then the fourth one is either Frank from thief. Or the guy from the gambler, depending on which movie you'd like more, but that has to probably be the top four. More important movie to me, but you'd have to go with these probably. But if you really passionately made a game board case, I would accept it. But just those four characters, which James Kahn has just dripping all over each character, right? De Niro as Jake LaMotta, narrows Rupert pumpkin, like becoming a different person. As you said earlier, James Connor was always James con in the movie in some way. He was going to veer too far away from James Caan. But those four characters, you could put against any guy from that era. I was thinking that testosterone went another one was remember that Clint Eastwood movie, what was it every which way but loose with the ape? Yeah, of course. Yeah, of course. Which basically just Clint in the sleeveless T-shirt just kind of drive around a chuck. He's doing bare knuckle fights, and that's the plot of the movie. And he was fucking great. They made a sequel, but it was like, nobody has charisma like that anymore. I guess maybe now that you just put a marvel cape on him. Two things not to leave out. I think one, who he was in the

And you pick up that movie any time and just giggle every time you see and you know all the lines, you know everything that's going to happen in it, But I will say this, the late Jim Bunning Said. The most accurate baseball movie of all time that tells you what it's like to be in a baseball game is for the love of the game with Kevin Costner. I've not seen that one. Great that moving, but I don't think I never saw it. Well, the movie starts out and it's Philip Chapple lightness career, Kevin prosector. You know they're trying to figure out whether the Tigers they're going to straight him betrayed him or not, And he goes out doesn't have much juice left in him, but throws a perfect game. And the movie is mixed up with all the things that's happening in his love life in between. It's kind of a love story. But Jim when Jim saw the baseball side of it, he'll he always told me that was what it felt like to stand on the mound. And look around in the sixth inning and you're Patrick about and you look at your chest and go. There's anybody been on base yet, you know, and I have not seen the whole movie, but I saw the end. I love that scene not to give it away where he just kind of talking to himself. He said. You know what? I've never prayed to God about making me pitch. Well, something that a fag you always felt it was pretty frivolous. But, Lord, if you could make the pain in my arm, go away. Go away. More bitches, right? I was unbelievable. Unbelievable. You know, Sr I love that. Yeah. Jim. Jim always wondered if part of that was based upon his perfect game against the Mets, because Chapel was wearing 14, and there were some other similarities. There was a Diving play in the infield, just like Tony Taylor had a diving grab saved. Jim's perfect game is that there was a lot of similarities in the movie. But he said, it's just like that when you're standing on the mound. Nobody wants to talk to you. Nobody wants to look at you because you got not only a no, no going, but you got a perfect game going.

They had a great love story that what he did, and of course in the movie Jim Jim con Jimmy Caan. He plays Brian Piccolo when he dies of cancer, and Billy Dee Williams, who plays Gale Sayers. He's up there when? When James Caan's character is the real person, Brian Piccolo basically the end of his life, and he's receiving an award and he starts to cry and he goes. I want you all to hit your knees tonight. And pray. For Brian Piccolo, as I'm saying, this about getting very much and it is. It's an unbelievable movie about a true story.
