PUBG, if you're not listening to PUBGcast, Cara is the winning. That's what James Morrison. Welcome to the PUBGcast. Sit down and enjoy your point.

Welcome to the Big Lebowski episode of the PUBGcast. Allison Rod and Patrick joined me to break down this absolutely hilarious movie from 1998. This is the fourth movie that we've tackled on the PUBGcast from my list of my six favorite movies of all time. They are The Godfather, The Godfather of our two good fellas, The Big Lebowski, Snatch, and Casino Royale.

So maybe sometime we'll tackle The Godfather one and two, but until then, these are my top four movies that we've done so far. Anyway, The Big Lebowski is an absolute masterpiece from The Coen Brothers, coming on the heels of their other classic film of the 1990s Fargo in 1996. Throughout this episode, the four of us just rave about how much we love this movie, in particular the dialogue and the pitch-perfect performances. The recastorate segment forced us to make some difficult choices, but in the end, our creativity was on display and making for some laughs and some uncomfortable silences.

Make sure you check out the part where we discuss our favorite scenes in quotes around the one hour mark. It gets crazy. So grab the vodka, kalua, and half and half and pour yourself a Caucasian, and we break down the Big Lebowski. But wait, let me explain something to you.

I am not Mr. Lebowski. I'm the do. You know, that or his doodeness or dooder or El Dudarino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Are you employed, Mr. Lebowski? You employed? Not sex, Mr.

Lebowski. Is this your only ID? You got the wrong guy, I'm the dood. Your name's Lebowski Lebowski.

Chuck Lebowski, the other Lebowski, the millionaire. I received this rant from note this morning. He's a Lebowski. They want you to take the money and not just carry your playing.

What do you mean? It's this. My dirty undies, dude. The whites.

Let's take that hell! Why should we settle for 20 grand, and we can keep the entire million? Don't leave me stepping on this. Play it one side against the other in bed with everybody.

Blah, then. Fabulous stuff. Who's sitting on a million dollars? We want some money.

Sitting on the trunk of our car. Where's my damn money? Say, dude. Where is your car?

It's got your undies water. This is a very complicated case, Maude. You're holding it in with a lot of owls. Is this your homework, Larry?

Yeah, I would like my undies back. A lot of scranz to keep in my head, Maude. Hey, careful, Maude. It's a bad bougie, right?

I like your style, dude. I have no choice but to tell these bums to do whatever is necessary to recover their money from you. You were not, these didn't. They were nihilists, Maude.

They kept saying they believed in nothing. Those are, you know, a headbeat. Well, aren't you? Well, yeah.

You cannot drag this negative energy into the tournament. It's a free. Maude? Love me.

That's my Rome. I'm throwing rocks tonight. It's all medical, Jesus. It's all medical, Jesus.

This could be a lot more complex. I mean, it's not just, it might not be just such a simple, you know? All right. Big Lebowski, 1998.

This is our second straight movie from this year. I think we have to change that in the future. It's a problem. All right.

The No Nonsense Plot. Jeff, the dude, Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire of the same name, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and list his bowling buddies to help get it. That's one of my favorite ones so far. I was going to say that is not beer bones.

That is poetic. That's a well written No Nonsense Plot. It is tight. It's got every keyword.

Like that would hit the SEO optimization. We would appear first on the Google Circle page. Awesome. Okay.

Overall reaction to the movie. Where were you? When did you see it? What impact did it have?

All that sort of stuff. We, I know, Allison, I did not see it in the theater. We were late to this. We saw it definitely on video in our place in Rivvyville.

Okay. I don't, I don't recall seeing it in the theater to argue that point. Because I remember a best boyfriend at the time, Paul, saying, talking about this movie, I think it was him. Somebody was talking about it.

We hadn't seen it. We rented it. I don't know. Whatever.

VHS or whatever it was. Saw it and we were blown away by it. Couldn't stop talking about it. Yeah.

Yeah. So maybe a year later. Gentlemen, where did you see it? I can't remember.

I don't think I was in the theater either. I do remember. I had a lot of flashbacks. I do remember watching parts of this movie repeatedly because I would fall asleep.

Because it would be like, I come home from the bars or whatever. And I'm like, Oh, it was like the DVD I had. Yeah. Like a lot of repeated doings, but I can't pinpoint the first time I saw it.

I do think it was at someone's house though. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was like for, I don't know Rob, I don't know how old you are, but like, he's on age.

He's okay. So it's like college around college. I don't remember seeing a lot of movies in the theater. Yeah.

Yeah. I remember dorm rooms, apartments. Yeah. I remember seeing the rest of the movie.

I remember seeing the rest of the movie. I don't remember seeing it in the movie theater. I remember seeing it in the movie theater. I remember seeing it in a lot.

Yeah. I remember being poor. And so like you couldn't go to everybody came out. So like you had to like pick which ones you were going to go to.

And I don't think this one would have made the cut initially. This movie just sort of developed in our consciousness somehow. I don't remember seeing it, but it definitely happened somehow and we were way into it from the first viewing. Yeah.

But it was not a big hit. It was not a giant hit. So I wrote down a bunch of notes while we were watching it last night. Okay.

I think the thing I wrote down is the dialogue in this movie is flawless. Talked about them. Word perfect. I saw something and I didn't want to go too deep into the trivia, but I saw that there was very little improv in this.

Like only just a one or two lines. Like every dude, every man, every fuck was scripted. Yeah. Yeah.

Totally. Which I thought was the thing out, but which I think to what you said earlier, but it makes the dialogue even insane. It's insane. It's insane, but it's intentional.

And there's like a certain definite cadence to how they're speaking. So you kind of get the sense that it's not in practice much, but yeah, I mean, I can't believe they both had the idea and then the ability to write the dialogue. It's crazy. Especially since like Donnie and others are never actually talking to anyone or each other.

I know. Background. It's a lot of non sequiturs and like everybody's having independent conversations or independent thoughts. There's very little talking amongst one another.

Like it's simply the dude in Walter. Like those are the only two that actually have a somewhat of a conversation. Yeah. Everything else is found sequiturs.

It's half dialogue with the performances are so spot on and they nail that sort of conversational tone with the dialogue. It's great. I wrote this down to is any movie more connected to a specific cocktail than this movie? No, not even James Bond.

I mean, James Bond had to make 20 films to connect to the martini. Right. I wrote James Bond, Vodka Martini and I wrote maybe Sex in the City in Manhattan's. No.

Oh, I don't know that show. Well, I'll tell you it led me to a different story. I'll tell you it led me to a really unfortunate family Thanksgiving when you're where I took out a whole container half and half. Oh, God.

As I was drinking the trendy white Russian. Oh, my gosh. That's so much. That's on your watch.

Top of Thanksgiving. That's a lot of half and half. Great. It was great.

How was your GI tract after that? Yeah. Both the emotional damage from the intake and the physical was forget about the GI. What about the manifest family?

Oh, God. The do drinks nine white Russians during the course of the movie, but he drops one of them at Jackie three horns mansion or what have been 10. Oh, so that one doesn't count because he took one sip from it. He gets a refill and never has a sip of the second one.

Oh, because he's drug. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Was it making the first one? I guess I did say Mickey. Well, this is like a, what is it? Like a dumb shoe type of a movie or a film noir almost.

Yeah, it's so interesting. I want to say like the first few times I watched it. I just, I got so caught up in kind of the comedy. That it took a while for me to really pay attention to the actual mystery that's unfolding and all of the different kind of distracted clues or whatever to eventually get to what it was.

And the more I watch it, I'm like, oh, this is actually, well, and it's like a mystery. And I kind of missed that because I guess probably the first 10 times I watched it. I had 10 beers throughout the course of the movie. They say something like, you know, people are not going to follow this plot the first time and that's okay because the plot doesn't matter so much.

It's perfectly fine. Right. Right. Well, I mean, they do say they did model to a certain respect and like the Raymond Chandler story.

But it's kind of something that we talked about, I think, even with something as nutty as as a center. There has to be a through line story, right? And this one does get better. Like you said, you're just caught up on the gags the first 50 times we watched it.

You know, totally. So we just did the box office for 98. I'll run through it real quickly. I say we just did as if everybody's listening to all this stuff sequentially in real time.

But the top 10 in 98, it includes some carryovers from 97. Like, for example, Titanic is number one, but that came out in late 97, but all the money came in 98. So whatever one through 10 box office was Titanic, 488 million. Or again, saving private Ryan.

There's something about Mary, the water boy, Dr. do little. Yeah. Deep impact, Godzilla rush hour and goodwill hunting at number 10 and 133 million.

Big La Bousie is nowhere to be seen. 17.4 million. That's it. What number was it?

I lost track. It's so far. Nothing. What did it cost to make it?

The budget was 15 and it made 17. So broke even barely. Wow. I love that Armageddon and deep impact.

Same year. Yeah. Yeah. Just like Bugs life and ants.

Yeah, totally. Just like white or into him. It's so crazy how it happens. Yeah.

Okay. I need to destroy dishes. Yeah. You see that asteroid picture?

Just do that. And just do that. Right. Tomatoes.

This one's interesting. So, yeah. Okay. So $17 million.

17 million box office. Wow. But the people who saw it may have liked it. Right.

Understand. Okay. What do you think the critics? Critics critics are first.

They are today. All right. I want to say that critics will have liked it. But it's not going to crack 90%.

I'm going to say 88%. The thing that just like it's cult status. It's kind of grown over time. I saw a couple of this is where reviewers went back and said, you know what, I was wrong the first time.

This is a much better movie. Roger Ebert did that, right? Yeah. Yeah.

So I feel like they missed it at the time. And I don't know how recent the user be. I think it's going to be. I was around 80.

I'll say 80. Patrick. You know what? I'll be a little bit of a prick.

And I mean, this is critics, right? So I'll say 85. What difference, right? 84.

Sorry. He prices right. The critics gave Big Lebowski 83. So you're all right on it.

Now the audience. Audience score for the Big Lebowski. Not a huge hit, but who knows? If they like to know.

I mean, it's sponged religions. But again, it's in that occur, you know? Yeah, that'll happen in DVD runs and cable. Cable runs and whatever.

I still got to think it's higher, obviously, than the critics. I think it's not. What's the number on? I was it 89?

You're Mr. Confident. Al. I'm going to say 85.

Patrick. I have written down. I put 91 just to, you know, is that a. No, I think no.

I think that probably correct. The I feel like that gave the Big Lebowski a 93. Oh, nice. See?

Wow. That's a very aware. Yeah. A group of people at that time.

Well, and I think I didn't factor in which I'm very upset with myself about. The Co-ins had reached like must watch status at that point, you know? So they're likely to get that critical view of. But must watch through blockbuster.

Like nobody went to the theater. They were must watch for a grand total of $17 million. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. But I think it's just like all of us. Like if you I'm sure if you saw it in the theater, it was great. Yeah.

It's funny. I don't know what Shawshank got, but it's way more popular after it left theaters and is during theaters. Right. Okay.

I mean, you got to. So how do you run a trailer on a movie for this movie? I mean, it has to be so chopped up to that end. He said, I saw various numbers, but between 260 and 290 times.

For context, Goodfellas is about 300 times. And the Wall Street is 569 times. Essentially, all the movies that were above. Say Goodfellas are all in the past 20 years.

Yeah. It was up in the empty nonstop. So it makes you like, I'm sure they couldn't advertise it well enough to get people to go. No.

I think a lot of it was like come see the Cullen Brothers next film. Because I mean, Jeff Bridges, the cast is not, you know, 18. No, that's was great. And even they're really open movies that I mean, Jeff Bridges being the one exception.

Yeah. I mean, that I can't imagine my parents. Hey, you gotta see this. They'd be like, what is it?

They wouldn't even call it crap or garbage. They'd be like, I don't know what I'm watching. You can't quite convey the character of the dude in Walter. Walter, you probably can, but the dude in a 30 second TV spot.

No way. So, fuck is said almost 300 times. The dude says, man, 147 times. That's great, man.

The word dude is used 160 times. That's a lot. I mean, half your screenplay is just done right there. Fuck dude, man.

All right. You feel way rushing or a Caucasian in there. Yeah, exactly. The dude is in every single scene.

From what I read, including the one where the Nihilists are wearing pancakes in the IHOP or Denny's or whatever. Apparently, and I did look and check. You can see Walter's van parked in a flower parking lot across the street. So presumably the dude and Walter are in the van.

Or is it where they're having coffee? They're not in the scene. I'm saying. Yeah, there's separate scenes.

Yeah. So if this research is right and this is all as usual, very dubious. But he's in every single scene. I would have liked the idea that it was like a pulp fiction.

I know. I was like, they're both in the diner at the same time. What they're in that diner? That's what in the pulp fiction.

Do that. Okay. Well, what do they know what bowling alley? If that's like where that took place?

I mean, do they know? I did. I did see that it was a location and I thought they said Santa Monica, but it's no longer there. Yeah.

So I was counting this while we were watching the movie. There are seven bowling alley scenes in the movie. Okay. And with the exception of the dream sequence where the dude is helping mod a bowl in the fantasy sequence, the dude has never seen bowling in any part of the movie.

That's amazing. Yeah. Producer Joel Silver thought the film should end with the dude getting his run back. But the guy said no.

I like the idea of him not getting back. Yeah. He has to abide. Yeah, the dude buys.

In an early draft of the script, the dude's source of income was revealed. Okay. If you know what it is, don't say it. I was drawn.

Yeah. What do you guys think the dude's source of income was? I was an end. Such a great question.

Mm hmm. I don't know. I don't know what that would be. I mean, he had papers in the briefcase.

It's kind of like guessing Kramer from Seinfeld. Well, he talked about writing some paper or something like that. Part of the Seattle seven. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was a political manifesto. Yeah.

There's not one like that. No. Patrick, give us your guests for the dude's source of income. I mean, I mean, unemployment would be so, so easy.

Like there's no way it would be that uncreated. I can tell you it's not that. It's okay. Okay.

I mean, something so specific yet simple. Oh, God. Like does he write? I mean, does he write for the like Santa Monica?

Where does he live in the movie? He lives in like East Hollywood, right? Or the Val. Let me just give you a hint.

You're giving the dude credit for that he would be a creative. And be motivated to do that. So you've almost convinced me to have the dude watch my kids. So remember, this is the laziest guy in.

Right. Southern California. Okay. So I'll say he's on like you got injured from a job kind of and he's just still collecting something from.

I don't know long beach. South of LA. I don't know, man. What's he?

Is he is he government? No, a city employee in Long Beach that's on like disability. You're definitely getting closer. How?

Oh, I don't know. I mean, it's probably something like he's paid to watch television. Like he's like one of the meals. Yeah, the family.

You guys missed it. You're in Patrick started getting into the ballpark of it. What it says he is that he was an heir to the inventor of the Rubik's cube. His uncle or whoever invented it.

But it was even like distant. So it was kind of like that. Q second we have the novel where. Oh, he was like the nephew of the something that Christmas song.

Right. Right. Like a $90,000 year, you know, really. My great aunt invented liquid paper or whatever.

Yeah, exactly. The big Lebowski's mansion can be seen in other movies, including the Muppets, the Prestige, the Shower, the social network and the 30 dozen among them, a bunch of other. I love that you put them up. It's that high in that sequence.

That is strictly a copy and paste. I mean, so that right. It's the original movie probably. Okay.

This one I was trying to find this connection and it is almost true. It almost happened, but it was changed. Bunny Lebowski. Yes.

Jeffy Lebowski's trophy wife. Her real name in the movie is Fong Knudsen or Knudsen. She was born in Moorhead, Minnesota, apparently. That's her little backstory.

But in the script or in a script at least. Bunny's real name was Fong Gunderson. Oh, yeah. Sorry.

Sir name from Marge in Fargo and more head Minnesota is a twin city of Fargo. Apparently. So there was a connection to the Fargo thing. I thought there had to be a connection somehow.

Yeah. Having watched five seasons of Fargo of the TV series, there's so many sort of DCU sort of like MCU type of connection. Yeah. It was even down to that picture that they had of Bunny in the, it's like the couple of that.

Totally. The license plate of Bunny's red convertible spells lap in LAPIN, the French translation of rabbit or bunny. And that is all I have for trivia. So I'm trying to keep this light.

I think we have way more to say about this movie than the stupid trivia. Unless anyone else. Yeah. No, there weren't a lot of like intriguing details right because it's like a welded movie that's kind of set in like two places really.

I've got a few things about like who is almost cast or considered but at the same time they had worked with so many of these folks that they were writing a lot of this. Yeah. The dude was one that was not as clear but from what I could tell, was getting a good and alien and and to tour all like, you know, coming to the dance already in the, you know, in their mind. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. The only bit of trivia that I had other than the dude says man 147 times was that there are only four times that the dude speaks directly to Donny. Yeah.

Oh, which so like he just ignores him like he's just around but never interacts with the four times. One was. Don't drink a dude. Well, and where are you going to?

I just watched it before I sat down. So that's two of the four. Two of the four times that he talks to him directly. Once is what are we talking about?

And he says my problem. So that's like towards the beginning. And then towards the end is they were Nazis dude. No, no downy.

They were nihilists and kind of goes into the whole thing. That's the, those are the only four times he speaks to. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. It's almost an aside like. Yeah. But I love that that is the go to line from Walter to Donny where then he actually like caught himself halfway through and gave like, yeah.

And when he was answering what Chavez was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So. So. The movie, I mean, it's like a swingers or a raising Arizona. It like transcends time.

Yeah. I don't know a specific, I'm like, was that in 97? Was it 92? Was it in 05?

It's really, that's very strong. Yeah. The only thing to me that dates it at all is the carrying of the portable phone. But that's the best part.

I know. I know. Because you kind of feel like he would have that regard, like that would somehow make its way to him anyway. It doesn't matter if there's smartphones.

No. He's getting a beeper because that's going to be the thing that you would have to pay for. Orget. And Jeffrey Lebowski is not going to give this guy expensive thing.

So. No big skeu bunny is running out. Yeah. Yeah.

So the screenplay I saw was written by or at least contributed to the screen play. By Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Bichimi and Sam Elliott. It was written with them in mind. Oh.

Wow, I didn't realize they were giving away. Yeah. So the co-workers knew who they were going to cast for most of this movie. The one person considered for Bunny was apparently Charlize Thirong.

And this is my favorite one. The Coins wanted. They wanted Marlon Brando. I love that one.

Wow. No, I think they like the idea of it more than. Yeah, no, I don't think the execution would be all that fun. Yeah, condolences.

He's after apocalypse now. I think everybody was like, yeah, I want to talk to him. Yeah, I think people are done with him. But David Huddlesing, who I know from Blazing Zaddles only really is fantastic.

Oh, he's so good. He's so good. This week. He's amazing.

If you've seen smoking the band at part two. Oh, yeah, who has it. I'm not who you're talking to here. That opening scene with him versus big and loneliness for death where they're just.

Yeah, yeah. Also considered for the big Lebowski were Robert Duvall, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, and he settled on David Huddlesing. Yeah, I think it's a choice. Yeah.

I don't know. Especially. I mean, it's because I don't want to jump ahead, but his his time with Philip Seymour often they just were very reflective of one another that it was so awesome. And I can't imagine a new big Lebowski.

Yeah, I'm going to go back to my notes from the movie. How do those guys know? I just it's magical how they know who Duvall. Right.

You know, I study like Hoosiers and I'm like, Oh, is Gene Hackman Nicholson or Duvall? It had to be Hackman, but there's no way you would have known that. Exactly. I just don't know how they nail it.

Yeah. Maybe it becomes iconic and it's just hard to think of anything else. Did they screen test him a little bit? Who knows?

But I mean, like Royal Ten Bombs, you would have thought, Oh, Wes Anderson loves Bill Murray. This will obviously be Bill Murray. But he went with Hackman. But Murray had like a kind of a peripheral role in it for beautiful.

Perfect. That's a good example. Okay. I think we should get into recastor bait.

Better close the door. It's time to be consturbate. Well, it's hard. I'm never in this church.

So I mean, you can talk about iconic characters and there certainly are there's a lot we get going, but the specific, I can even say word, this is a necessity around the dude and trying to even imagine it being being interpreted is a challenge So let me tell you the first I was trying to wrap my head around this and this is how far a field I started going. It won't apply to any we're talking about spoiling anyone's thoughts or ideas. So I was famous last words, man. Well, trust me, unless you cast this from with characters from a hundred years ago.

Are you going to do a Charlie Chaplin hunker? I was trying to figure out if I could sort of backcast this. Could I put in Walter Donnie mod in the dude in a previous movie to make a connection there? I was trying to make the Wizard of Oz work.

So is Walter the lion who needs courage is the dude Dorothy who wants to go home or wants a rug is Donnie the Tin Man who needs a heart, you know, heart attack is mod the scarecrow who needs a brain. That's where it kind of fell apart right there. I was trying to make connections here and then I'm like, oh, how'd be cool? And then I couldn't do it.

So that's just that I own of what I was trying to do with this movie. I couldn't make anything work. Yeah. I lied.

You were trying to make something. So I'm going to start this off. Okay. In Rob Nash fashion.

Okay. You ready Rob? I don't know what that means. First time I think you were on with us, you introduced the idea of the full cast swap from another guy.

Yes. I do. It's a fairy mind. So I'm going to do this with the top four.

I only have one person for each of them. So I'm just going through my four. And that's it. The dude Walter Donnie and Mod.

Yes. I did a cast swap out. Okay. Oh my goodness.

With super bad. So I put, oh, I put Jonah Hill as the dude or it could be Seth Rogen. I put the other one. Let's say Seth Rogen as Walter.

I put Michael Sarah as Donnie and I put Emma Stone as Mod. Yeah. I think that's pretty close. That's pretty good.

Yeah. I don't know which one to do Walter. But you're picking between Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen. So you're kind of in a good spot.

I did a different movie swap. Oh my God. That's the best I could possibly do. I couldn't come up with anything.

So that's all I got. Yeah. You did a movie swap. Do you want to do your four or do you want to do it in order?

I'll do it. Oh. Do you want to introduce your swap or do you want to go? I'll introduce this.

I'll introduce it today. I'll introduce the swap. Swap it up. All right.

So the cast swap I did is with the movie This is the End. Oh, it's almost the same thing. I'm going to let him have a comeback and that is James Franco as the dude. Oh, Danny McBride is Walter.

Oh, that's good. I've got a bear shell as Donnie. And then I've got, I didn't write down her name, but Hermione Granger. Yeah.

That works too. That works too. I like Danny McBride. I like him.

He's my hero. Yeah. See, just as a side note at the end or this is in. Do you know she had to like kind of complain to Seth Rogen because the improv dialogue between McBride and Janet?

Um, Janet was so out of line that she became uncomfortable. That I'm sure. Yeah. Emma.

Emma Watson wasn't comfortable in that movie. Yeah. Yeah. Not careful.

Yeah. Okay. Well, so I have no more for those top four. So now we're going to do the normal style.

Okay. All right. So, we're going to start with Rob. Okay.

And let's start with who do you have for the dude? Yeah. I mean, I think there's a lot of people that have dude aspects, but it is a huge thing to try and fill. So Dan called do aspects.

Yeah, exactly. I thought there were a couple of people who are funny enough to maybe do it. And I thought Josh do not was like interesting if he could be nothing enough, but I then discarded him and I went with Matt Stone. Whoa.

Wow. Nice. And I think he's just kind of a stonerish. Who I would never pull that name out.

Yeah. Jason Segal. I thought could also. Oh, that's kind of good.

Okay. But as he as bridges went through the movie today, as I was watching it a couple of times near the end, I can remember if it was the Memorial Service or even the law running his hair was like nicer. You know, like he did, he had a pin in it or something. I'm like, that's any better today.

It looks exactly like I would. Oh my God. All right. No.

Wow. Well done. Okay. Patrick, do you have to follow that?

I don't know how I'm going to fall. Those were so sets deep cuts and so specific and like weirdly perfect. I'm going to be I'm going to look like amateur and I'm at the Apollo here. God, I really love those pics.

So I'll just go. I'll say I really love those pics and they're better than what I'm about to say. And then I'm off the. I like maybe McConaughey.

We could do it. Yeah. Just kind of no brainer. And this is after what you just said, I'm going to look so commercial saying these McConaughey, a Snoop Dogg.

And then I have Brad Pitt who I don't think would need to act too much. Damn it. Oh, that's a Snoop did it though. Would it be a juice, right?

Like the drink would be a. Holy shit. Oh, that's good. Patrick.

Wow. I did not. I could not come up with any of those guys. I was drawing planes.

Okay. Oh, so I had Matthew McConaughey also. I've also got John Hader. Napoleon Dynamite.
