  • [Debate] Dustin Hoffman's standing among 70s actors: Bill expresses that he ranks Hoffman 'pretty far down' among 70s actors like Pacino, De Niro, Duvall, and Hackman, finding him more limited and always 'Dustin Hoffman in the movie.' Craig and other hosts agree it's not a common 'favorite actor' sentiment. (Bill Simmons, Craig Horlbeck, Co-hosts)
  • [Deep dive] Dustin Hoffman's method acting vs. Laurence Olivier's 'just try acting' anecdote: A 5+ minute discussion about the legendary on-set tension and a specific anecdote where Hoffman's method acting (staying up for three days) clashed with Olivier's classic advice. They debate the veracity of the story and Hoffman's prickly reputation. (Bill Simmons, Co-hosts)
