Speaker 5: So yesterday we talked about the death of Gene Hackman,
Speaker 5: the actor ninety five found in his house.
Speaker 3: I have a question for you, guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, have people, just when you randomly interact with people,
Speaker 1: have they brought up the Gene Hackman death to you
Speaker 1: in a way of like.
Speaker 3: What is going on with that death? Have y'all had
Speaker 3: any of that?
Speaker 4: Yes, a lot of conspiracy, a lot of people wondering
Speaker 4: how it went down the way it did. People have
Speaker 4: theories who died first? Was their suicide? Did nobody feed
Speaker 4: the dog all that?
Speaker 1: I had the same security guard stop me at two
Speaker 1: different points in the evening last night at the mav
Speaker 1: game to.
Speaker 3: Talk more about it.
Speaker 1: They were so there's like, I just keep bumping into
Speaker 1: people that are very wrapped up in this controversy.
Speaker 5: I have not interacted with anyone outside of you guys
Speaker 5: in the last twenty four hours. And my wife didn't
Speaker 5: know who he is.
Speaker 4: So what about it?
Speaker 3: The landfill in Melissa was nobody talking about it.
Speaker 5: It wasn't really you know, there's more like can we
Speaker 5: get this brush into the thing?
Speaker 4: Yeah the compactor?
Speaker 3: Yeah, into the compactor. Yeah, I'm not sure how it works.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So what point is Obviously you're gonna get some
Speaker 5: commentary from other people in that world, including Christina's got
Speaker 5: the audio for us. Here, here's Bill Murray.
Speaker 6: He was a tough not Geene Hackman, but he was
Speaker 6: really good, and he was really difficult. Older great actors
Speaker 6: do not give young directors much of a chance.
Speaker 2: They just they're really rough on im.
Speaker 6: And Gene was really rough on West and I used
Speaker 6: to I used to kind of step in there and just.
Speaker 2: Try to defend my friend.
Speaker 6: I watched him once do like twenty five takes where
Speaker 6: he did it perfectly with an actor who kept blowing
Speaker 6: it every single time big long camera moved and painting.
Speaker 2: All this stuff.
Speaker 6: Geane would do it perfectly, the other actor would blow it,
Speaker 6: and I'd go, like I was watching Quinn, No wonder
Speaker 6: this guy, this guy wants to throttle people, and then
Speaker 6: he sort of gave just a sort of an ordinary
Speaker 6: performance and the other actor got it right, and I
Speaker 6: thought Jeene was gonna throw the guy off the village
Speaker 6: ledge of the building.
Speaker 7: Cluk.
Speaker 2: So he was a great one.
Speaker 4: Okay, that is the weirdest compliment ever. He complimented him,
Speaker 4: but he basically said he is a tremendous a hole.
Speaker 3: He's a hard ass.
Speaker 1: And there's an irony to that because there are so
Speaker 1: many people that have worked with Bill Murray that say
Speaker 1: he's impossible to work with. So there's an irony to that.
Speaker 1: So I couldn't help I haven't seen ten and bombs
Speaker 1: in a long time. I couldn't help it sit there
Speaker 1: and go man, it was Luke Wilson that was screwing
Speaker 1: it up right.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was sitting there wondering what scene, what it meant?
Speaker 1: And I remember some scenes with Luke Wilson on the roof,
Speaker 1: but I don't remember scenes with Luke Wilson on the
Speaker 1: roof with Hackman. I'd have to go back and watch
Speaker 1: it again. Maybe Christina remembers, uh, but.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: I definitely want to go back and watch tenn and
Speaker 1: baumbs now and see if I can find the moment
Speaker 1: specifically that he's talking about.
Speaker 4: I had never heard that about Gene Hackman. I didn't
Speaker 4: know that he was one of those guys that you
Speaker 4: hear that about a lot of people. And Bill Burry
Speaker 4: was painting the picture that a lot of the elite
Speaker 4: actors are like that, yeah, get it right.
Speaker 3: But you know, I could see that be prepared, get
Speaker 3: it right now. Costner.
Speaker 5: Kevin Costner goes on the Rich Eisen Show out there
Speaker 5: in la And when I watched this for the first time,
Speaker 5: I immediately thought that Kevin Costner was lying.
Speaker 1: I don't think Kevin Costner has ever said a truthful
Speaker 1: thing in his life, because there's a.
Speaker 5: Part of it where he kind of pauses at the end.
Speaker 5: You'll hear I've trimmed this down a little bit, a
Speaker 5: little over a minute, but here's Kevin Costner telling a
Speaker 5: story from Gene Hackman on The Unstoppables.
Speaker 8: You know, people ask all the time, you know, who's
Speaker 8: the best actor, who's the biggest star, who's the blah
Speaker 8: blah blah. But I would say probably Jane was the
Speaker 8: best actor. I think Sean Connery is the biggest star
Speaker 8: I'd ever worked with and that's the Untouchable. Yeah, and A.
Speaker 8: This is too long of a story, but I had
Speaker 8: one with Gene. When this scene came up. We had
Speaker 8: been doing every scene to that point. Around a desk.
Speaker 8: I said to the directors, look, I don't I don't
Speaker 8: feel like it's right. Gene hackmanstand and are listening. I
Speaker 8: feel like it's over here. And it was like no
Speaker 8: one was saying and the director and I really butted
Speaker 8: heads on it. Finally, for whatever reason, Jeane's just like listening,
Speaker 8: and finally, for whatever reason, I said, I don't care.
Speaker 2: It's here.
Speaker 8: And I hated to do that, but I just said
Speaker 8: it's here, and I don't need all of our scenes here.
Speaker 2: It's here. Sure, So we.
Speaker 8: Did it, and at one point there was saying, well,
Speaker 8: what's Gene going to do? And I said, Gene, we'll
Speaker 8: figure out what to do because he's really good. So
Speaker 8: I do the scene and we do it all day
Speaker 8: and it's the scene now that's in the movie. And
Speaker 8: I remember as I was walking out to my car,
Speaker 8: Jane was getting in and goes, hey, we'll talk to you,
Speaker 8: and I walked over and goes, look, man, if you
Speaker 8: ever do that in front of me again. I'm just
Speaker 8: gonna the way you disrespect, I'm just gonna try. That's
Speaker 8: not what he said. That's what I thought he was
Speaker 8: gonna say.
Speaker 4: What do you say?
Speaker 8: He looked at me and he said, hey, uh, you know,
Speaker 8: it's been I went through a divorce. I've been doing
Speaker 8: a lot of kind of questionable movies lately. When I
Speaker 8: saw you fighting for what you wanted today, he said,
Speaker 8: it reminded me of how I used to feel about acting.
Speaker 8: He says, it was good what you did, and then
Speaker 8: he just got in his car and drove off.
Speaker 1: All right, it's amazing, I went and uh, I looked,
Speaker 1: because so the movie he's talking about is No Way Out?
Speaker 1: What he's talking about the Intouchable? Is you talking about
Speaker 1: Sean Connery movie? Because I think the only movie that
Speaker 1: Costner did with Hackman is No Way Out?
Speaker 3: Unless I'm forgetting, you're correct.
Speaker 1: And I do remember a lot of scenes in No
Speaker 1: Way Out where it's in the Senator's office and so
Speaker 1: he is sitting behind a desk and all this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. But the the act the director was Roger Donaldson,
Speaker 1: which is not some name I recall for a bunch
Speaker 1: of films or whatever. But if you go back to
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven, that's you know, he's not the monster
Speaker 1: that he would be four or five years later by
Speaker 1: the time Dances.
Speaker 3: With Wolves came out, or three or four years later.
Speaker 1: So it's interesting that he was that convicted and bull
Speaker 1: headed around no because like Untouchables was big for him.
Speaker 1: No Way Out, but like I think Bull Durham came
Speaker 1: after that, right, I think Filed Dreams came after that.
Speaker 1: In my mind, No Way Out came out before those movies.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of interesting that he always was that way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it, you know. I think it's great that
Speaker 4: he had a passion for it.
Speaker 1: You yeah, I mean he directed film, so you know
Speaker 1: you got to be that Yeah, guess you know.
Speaker 4: I saw dead Zel talking about him too, and they
Speaker 4: were in Crimson Tied Together and the interview the Quest,
Speaker 4: and this was a long time ago. The interview was
Speaker 4: something like, Sozel was that intimidating to do that movie
Speaker 4: with Gene Hackman, you know, and and he's like, man,
Speaker 4: I'm He's basically I'm paraphrasey. He was basically I'm Denzel,
Speaker 4: like I'm in prime Denzel tea. And it was interesting
Speaker 4: the way he talked about it was like a basketball player,
Speaker 4: like like an athlete, or like being unintimidated. He was like,
Speaker 4: he goes, Man, you know, I think all of the
Speaker 4: best actors in the world think they're the best actors
Speaker 4: in the world, and so any of us are like,
Speaker 4: we embrace the opportunity to be with other great actors
Speaker 4: because we're like, you're not better than me. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: better than you. Let's get on camera and see who's better,
Speaker 4: he goes. I think it just brings out the best
Speaker 4: of all of us. But I think it's cool to
Speaker 4: hear all these people after the fact talk about Gene
Speaker 4: Hackman with so much love. I don't know that you're
Speaker 4: gonna hear this type of thing when when God forbid
Speaker 4: one day, No, when what's his name? Does his rival,
Speaker 4: Gene Hackman's rival Michael Michael Kain, When Michael Kaine dies,
Speaker 4: you'll hear a lot of people go, man, he was
Speaker 4: he he acted. Yeah, But you won't hear this outpouring
Speaker 4: of respect and love and admiration network. I'm just saying
Speaker 4: I've noticed it.
Speaker 5: It's palpable, Okay, I just want to say it takes
Speaker 5: a special kind of person to be asked about Gene
Speaker 5: Hackman to make the whole thing about yourself.
Speaker 4: That's true, that's true. But but keep in mind that's an.
Speaker 3: Old I was kidd to say with Bill Murray, these
Speaker 3: are old clips.
Speaker 4: They're old, they are Yeah, he didn't just.
Speaker 7: Know that heart.
Speaker 1: Bill Murray and Kevin cost didn't run out yesterday to
Speaker 1: be on talk shows to talk about Gene Hackman within
Speaker 1: twenty four hours of his controversial I thought that big
Speaker 1: of a deal, right, No, a big deal.
Speaker 4: I've seen them. I've seen these before. Yeah, they're recirculated.
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, let's do this man. Let's talk
