It's too big of a gamble.

I think that they had a pretty...

serious intellectual reasoning behind the Kirk character, which is obviously the one that's the thing that you'd be like, could you pull that off today?

There's also, there's a massive, massive sea change in Hollywood, which is,

a lot of the people, several people in this movie, especially Downey, start participating in Marvel and in large-scale superhero franchises.

And you can't really fuck with the money on those.

Like, the next Tropic Thunder should have been about Marvel movies, right?

You would do, like, I can't believe we're on movie 11 of this, and you would have all the fake trailers and the documentaries and... The Boys does that a little bit.

It does a little bit, but not in a, this is a movie, and there was an HBO show, like, a year or two ago that kind of came and went that was a little bit about this, but...

Tropic Thunder can make fun of something and you can be conversant in Platoon and Apocalypse Now and be like, this is so funny the way they're making fun of this.

But even if you haven't seen it, you'd still laugh at some of the things that are happening.

Tropic Thunder 2 is like Scorcher 8 then, right?

Yeah.

Basically.

You know how when we were doing Ghostbusters and we were kind of going through the montage that they have, the fame montage?

Yeah, the 84 montage.

And you were like, this is just the fucking best.

Like, I love the 80s.

This was so great.

84.
