Swimming with Sharks

Yeah, great.

Swimming with sharks.

Why do you say that? Aaron Eckhart was one of his first movies.

Was he really? Mm-hmm.

Company of Men.

That's what I was thinking of.

Swimming with Sharks is by the disgraced Kevin Spacey.

I see.

As an intern, I used to have to like count pages of the scripts to make sure they were all there.

I had to bring iced coffee and literally from Swimming with Sharks, it was that thing where like, oh, I thought I said light ice.

And I was like, I'm out to go.

And do you know what's a really funny story speaking? So I knew I was moving to New York, but One of the executives, who shall remain nameless.

You know, this is the theater I worked at when I saw Akira for the first time, when I saw Ghost in the Shell for the first time.

You know, this is where I saw Swimming with Sharks.

It's, you know, in these iconic movies, Vim Vendors, Until the End of the World, those kind of things,

right?

sexiest he was.

Maybe Swimming with Sharks is where...

Yeah,

I mean, that is

I don't really recognize him that much.

I think he was with Swimming with Sharks.

Do you ever see that movie? The movies he's got listed on here are Pulp Fiction, Broken Arrow, The Doors, Vacancy.

I mean, he's done a fuckload of

stuff.

Swimming with Sharks.

Kevin Spacey, Frank Wiley.

Wow.

who he was picking fun at.

Now, there's a movie called Swimming with Sharks.

This director never worked again because he was outing Joel Silver.

He never worked again, starring Kevin Spacey.

Because he made money.

When you're no longer useful, not saying you're a useful idiot, when you're no longer useful to the system, then they cast you aside or they eat their own.

The director that made the movie Swimming with Sharks, that was based on Joel Silver, he was destroyed by outing him, telling the truth about him.

He didn't like it.

Again, one of my f- absolute favorite movies.

I sent you a voicemail saying this, but you were listing off movies that satirize Hollywood, and I think another great one that you forgot was Swimming with Sharks with Kevin Spacey and the amazing Frank Whaley." Yeah, I have not seen that film since it came out in, like, what, ninety-four, ninety-five.

But, um, you know, they sure cast, you know, cast an asshole to play an asshole, [laughs] so that, that works out for them there.

Anyways, Scott, appreciate, uh, the text and the call.

[laughs] Okay.

I'm gonna go with a bit of a left-field one and go with Swimming with Sharks.

Ooh, Swimming with Sharks is your first strike, Alice.

Oh, okay.

That's fine, 'cause I'm gonna go Twister next, and I feel like that's gonna be on here.
