Definitely worth a watch if you've never seen it. Williams is great as Jack Dundee, a dorky loser haunted by a single act of epic failure that nobody will let him forget (especially himself) and the lengths he goes to in order to try to rewrite his personal history. While Russell's character is important, the story is Jack's. Admittedly it's a bit silly and predictable, but well made and featuring a great cast.
I won't say its a great movie, but very good. It's definitely one of those movies that's a remote dropper for me. [Reply]
I have huge respect for Peyton. He made a FaceTime call to my co-workers child who was severely injured in a mower accident. Dudes the real deal. He lifted spirits of a child [Reply]

Love Kurt Russell though. Always liked him as an actor, and can't really think of a movie he ever did that I didn't like. But he also always came across as just a real guy. Someone that you'd probably really enjoy hanging out with.
In real life he is exactly what you would think. A real guy you could have a beer with. [Reply]

I also really enjoy Peyton's ESPN+ series, especially when he's baggin' on Tom Brady but this episode felt way to scripted for me to truly enjoy.
Kurt Russell is still the coolest fucking guy in the room.
I lived in Bakersfield for 5 years and the Taft/Bakersfield hate is real. Taft smells like natural gas and it is ill advised to light a smoke within one mile of that shithole. I didn't even piss there on my way to Pismo Beach to thread the dunes and feast on fresh Hallibut. [Reply]
One of my favorite scenes is in the garage, where Reno is about to toss Jack's keys to him. He starts the throwing motion, then stops, gets up and hands him the keys instead. That was brutal. :-) [Reply]

The scene where they try to sneak in watching the game while also trying to have a double dinner date is comedic perfection. [Reply]

Peytie-pie has a knack for editing, improv and comedic timing.
And that little shot of him calling his dad his favorite QB gets me every single time.
Every time I post me performing, my Dad always responds and I always thank him for his talent. He played organ. [Reply]
