  • [Deep dive] Laurence Olivier's performance and real-life struggles in Marathon Man: The hosts dedicate several minutes (approx. 5-7 minutes) to Olivier's health during filming (dying of cancer, on pain meds), how filmmakers played to his 'remaining strengths,' and his unique balance of evil and vulnerability as Zell. (Bill Simmons, 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)
