Roger ScottHOST
You know what? And Christian and I were also talking, but we're talking about Will Smith, his good, bad, and indifference.
Roger ScottHOST
But I thought a fun one of his was Hancock.
Roger ScottHOST
That was a different kind of a
David BazzelHOST
movie.
Mark EllisonHOST
Which 2008 film capped Will Smith's 8 straight $100 million US hits? Answer.
Mark EllisonHOST
Hancock.
Mark EllisonHOST
Hancock's success followed a remarkable run including Men in Black 2, Bad Boys 2, I, Robot, Shark Tale, Hitch, The Pursuit of Happiness, and I Am Legend.
Mark EllisonHOST
The streak underscored Smith's status as one of the 2000's most reliable blockbuster leads.
Mark EllisonHOST
That concludes today's five daily trivia questions.
Andy AthertonHOST
I'll listen to it.
Andy AthertonHOST
And then it was also used in the television commercial for PlayStation Portable, featured in a trailer for the 2008 film Hancock, as well as season four of the Apple Plus TV series For All Mankind, which I have watched and I do remember the song coming up.
Andy AthertonHOST
There's also a playable song in Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero Smash Hits, Sing Star Pop, Just Dance 2, Just Dance Revolution 2, and Rocksmith.
Andy AthertonHOST
So it's been all over the place.
Bethany FingerHOST
They haven't had issues like this in a while.
Bethany FingerHOST
It reminded me, did you ever see Hancock with Will Smith? I think I saw
Ash TannerHOST
it a long, long time ago with my dad, but I don't remember a lot of what happens in it.
Ash TannerHOST
I know he's a superhero.
Bethany FingerHOST
But when he was there, nobody had anything to say.
Bethany FingerHOST
No, because, yeah.
Bethany FingerHOST
But I mentioned Hancock because there's a scene in Hancock, Will Smith plays a superhero, and there's a scene where A car is stuck on a train track and a train is approaching and he uses his super strength to pull the car away at the last minute and like kind of launches it.
Bethany FingerHOST
When he launches it, the door to the car gets broken.
Sam HurleyHOST
So, in this movie, we discover that Charlize Theron is an immortal goddess.
Sam HurleyHOST
So it's the prequel for Hancock.
Sam HurleyHOST
I think we
LizHOST
already knew that, didn't we?
Sam HurleyHOST
Not the old guard.
Sam HurleyHOST
That was going to be my other answer.
Sam HurleyHOST
But I was going with Hancock, where she plays a goddess who, if she comes too close to...
Sam HurleyHOST
Will Smith's character, she, you know, what happens? They become mortal and die or something like that.
FlizHOST

FlizHOST

Craig RobinsonHOST
Mm-hmm.
H.E.R.GUEST
And my parents, uh, were sort of trying to figure out, like, "Oh, who do we wanna work with?" And of course, like, all the people in LA when you come, they're like, "Come to this set." And I was, like, on set of, like, I think it was Hancock that Will Smith was shooting at the time.

Darren HardyHOST
I'm fat.
Darren HardyHOST
I'm ugly,' and on and on." And actor Will Smith, who stars in all those uber confident, save-the-world roles like I Am Legend and Hancock and Bad Boys and Men in Black, Independence Day, and Ali, and on and on, admits, quote, "I still doubt myself every single day.
Darren HardyHOST
What people believe is my self-confidence is actually my reaction to fear." So what does this mean to you? That if you've ever had any of those feelings, [laughs] even if you don't have the courage to admit it out loud, just know that that makes you, well, human, and it's totally normal.
Darren HardyHOST
In fact, once again, embrace it.
