...
PatrickHOST
Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock, and Jeff Daniels.
PatrickHOST
And the synopsis of this movie is, "An extortionist bomber plants a bomb on a city bus in Los Angeles that will explode if the speed drops to 50, or lower than 50 miles per hour.
PatrickHOST
A young police officer, with the help of a passenger, maintain the speed while trying to save everyone and defuse the bomb." Now real quickly, I'm gonna look at you.
8 MINS LATER
AdamGUEST
That's kinda like the only downtime where you get a little bit of kind of exposition about the characters.
AdamGUEST
But everything else, it's in the midst of the action where you're learning about people or you're learning about, um, you know, Dennis Hopper's character and his history.
AdamGUEST
It's, you know, it's through Jeff Daniels running through the office trying to find out what's going on to save the day.
AdamGUEST
And, and I just love how it's constant movement.
Chris BrewerHOST
Eden, how about you finish us off?
EdenGUEST
Yeah, I went on Jeff Daniels first.
EdenGUEST
I was going to like, good old Dumb and Dumber.
EdenGUEST
And then I, yeah, nod to fellow compatriot Jeff Clear.
John HeilemannHOST
So I want to talk a little bit about the book, Larry, meaning The Looming Tower, which not only became the kind of seminal definitive account of how 9-11 happened.
John HeilemannHOST
you know, widely acclaimed, you know, uh, Pulitzer prize winning, uh, one, almost every other award you could win, uh, hugely successful commercially spawned a bunch of spinoffs afterwards, um, including the Hulu mini series, uh, with Jeff Daniels and Alec Baldwin.
John HeilemannHOST
I mean, it's like, it's no exaggeration to say that this book changed your life and your career.
John HeilemannHOST
Um, but profoundly and in countless ways.
Gráinne Ní AodhaHOST
And I know that the driver has a driver's license because of that.
Gráinne Ní AodhaHOST
And then he says, it's clear that he was at the Looming Tower, I think, and Jeff Daniels, he said, because he was in the previous story, and he says that there were two people who stopped him.
Gráinne Ní AodhaHOST
but there was no conversation about whether there was going to be a CIA or an FBI or anything like that.
Gráinne Ní AodhaHOST
And as a matter of fact, I'm not going to go into too much detail about that.
Chris SpangleHOST
It's great.
Chris SpangleHOST
It's got Jeff Daniels, the guy who was in Dumb and Dumber, who's a great actor.
Chris SpangleHOST
Newsroom.
Chris SpangleHOST
That's a really good TV show about the – it's based on the book and the failure of the FBI – basically the failure of the CIA in working with the FBI that – I mean 9-11 could have been prevented had they worked together, but they didn't.
KellyHOST
And then a few months ago I had watched two other things.
KellyHOST
So those two were The Looming Tower, the limited series with Peter Sarsgaard and Jeff Daniels.
KellyHOST
Zero Dark Thirty, that was a few months ago, Kathryn Bigelow.
KellyHOST
And then over the past week and a half or two weeks, the movie World Trade Center, directed by Oliver Stone, starring Nicolas Cage, Worth, starring Stanley Tucci and Michael Keaton.
Ryan OliverHOST
He's like, it happened without you at that point.
Ryan OliverHOST
So it's just like just such an amazing like moment of like the look on his face is like Jeff Daniels in the house in speed when he knows that it's like.
Ryan OliverHOST
Like, obviously it's a slower burn at that point, but, like, the look on his face, he's like, oh, like, I'm fucked.
Ryan OliverHOST
Yeah.
Chip FlahertyGUEST
And, you know, youth pastors were like, "Wow, this is really great," 'cause it celebrates what we do.
Chip FlahertyGUEST
Jeff Daniels was the pastor, and I've always said nowadays in, in TV, if you see a guy reading a Bible in act one of a movie, by act three, he's the villain and the bad guy.
David JeremiahHOST
Yeah.
Chip FlahertyGUEST
So i- isn't it nice to see a guy who's struggling to reach his congregation, to reach his daughter, and everything else? And, and same type thing.
FrankPANELIST
Absolutely.
speaker_7ADVERTISER
Jeff Daniels' also in the movie.
Ariel HelwaniHOST
Your, your, your Meg versus-
FrankPANELIST
Jeff Daniels.
FrankPANELIST
Legends
Ariel HelwaniHOST
... your Meg versus Jaws take is, is the, is the epitome of this.
Matt SpeerHOST
I'm not a big fan of people who are going after President Trump.
Matt SpeerHOST
Here's Jeff Daniels and his comments about President Trump.
Matt SpeerHOST
And I took some umbrage with this one.
Matt SpeerHOST
Now, Jeff Daniels was in a TV show that I really like called The Newsroom.
LeroyHOST
The Newsroom, yeah.
Matt SpeerHOST
Yeah, and I enjoyed it.
Matt SpeerHOST
I mean, The West Wing was fantastic.
Olivia SpeerHOST
But once again, a celebrity who has a writer writing for him is not a person who necessarily holds the same standards on their personal opinions.
