Tom Holland says there are only a few movie roles that should never be recast. Tom Holland: GOAT superhero? Matt Damon: Oof. Tom Holland: Why are you taking so long to answer this, mate? Matt Damon: I’d have to say Spider-Man. That was the one I used to dress up as all the time as a kid. Matt Damon: There’s been a parade of excellent actors in that role… and then you took it. Tom Holland: And it went to shit. Matt Damon: … Tom Holland: I’m kidding. I would have to agree. Matt Damon: Omari’s going to be really mad at us because we’re not arguing. Tom Holland: We are not arguing at all. Host: Instead of Spider-Man, what else would you pick? Tom Holland: For me, it would have to be Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man. Matt Damon: I was just going to say that because he’s funny, and he looks like a guy you could hang out with. Tom Holland: There are only a few characters where it feels like… just leave them be. Tom Holland: You, Downey, and Hugh Jackman. Tom Holland: No one wants to play Jason Bourne. No one wants to play Iron Man. No one wants to play Wolverine. Tom Holland: I’ve been the third person to play Spider-Man. There’s been lots of Batmans, lots of Supermans… but there are only a few characters where it feels like, just leave them be. Matt Damon: Oh wow. That’s awesome. Thank you very much.

Matt Damon reveals how he shot Scylla, the 6-headed snake monster scene on “The Odyssey” Tom Holland: “How did you shoot that again?… cause that to me is another part of the movie that i don’t understand how you did that” Matt Damon: “we took the boat through that passageway… and Chris had on one side jet skis doing doughnuts in the water” “This is true” “to really create a small whirlpool that the visual effects could use the actual movement as a guide” “George Cottle did six ratchets on that boat, on the actual boat, he rigged the ratchet system and pulled stunt guys up out of the deck of the boat” “It was the most incredible thing… he did six ratchets and he did it after lunch”

I did kind of wonder what went on behind the scenes of The Odyssey and now we have an answer. Allegedly, this is the choreography for a scene between Matt Damon and Tom Holland.

Matt Damon reveals how they filmed the giants scene in The Odyssey, says his double was a female stunt performer with the greatest arms he’s ever seen Matt Damon: When we did the forced perspective stuff of the Laestrygonians… there were these kind of stuntmen who were all seven feet. And then they got stuntmen who were under five feet, and so my double was a woman, a female stunt performer who had the greatest arms I’ve ever seen. And when she came into the catering tent, it was the first time I met her, I went up and I hugged her and I thanked her for all the work she’d put in. And so there are those shots in the movie where you see these giants looming over me. It was almost a hundred percent my arms in the movie.

Matt Damon says Spider-Man had a parade of excellent actors until Tom Holland came along and it went to shit Tom: “Why are you taking so long to answer this, man? Are you thinking of Ben in that Superman costume?” Matt: “I’d have to say Spider-Man. That was the one as a kid. I used to dress up as Spider-Man all the time.

Matt Damon says Anne Hathaway was fully sobbing for a background scene where they couldn’t even be properly seen Matt Damon:“There was one of those days where they were shooting the beggars who were even further away, the background artists, and we were on the steps doing the scene, and Anne was fully sobbing.” “I said, ‘Anne, there’s no way they can see us.’” “She says, ‘Nope, nope. I have to get it for everything.’” “She goes, ‘They can feel it.’” “I go, ‘I don’t know if they know we’re here.’” Anne Hathaway:“My whole thing about it was by that point, they had been there for weeks.” “They had been waiting for their close-up for weeks.” “And I was just like, ‘We gotta, we gotta go full out for them.’” “‘They’ve been there for us every day.’” Matt Damon: “But I, because I’m nearsighted, I couldn’t even see them.” “I’m like, ‘I don’t think they can see us.’” Anne Hathaway:“I’m like, ‘One of them has amazing vision, and we’re here for that one.’” Matt Damon:“Have we mentioned how large Stage 20 is and how big that hall was that we built?”

Tom Holland says COVID changed the way Spider-Man: No Way Home was filmed and you can actually feel it in the movie. Tom Holland: "We shot it in peak COVID times, so we shot everything in a studio." "Throughout the entire process of making that film, I might have done three days on location." "And you can feel it in the film, I think." "They sent a crew to New York to shoot the streets... then brought that piece of kit back to Atlanta" "And then I'd have to try and map out what I was gonna do in a pre existing shot." "Peter Parker's supposed to be in a rush... I actually think that shot isn't in the film because I don't think it worked."

Matt Damon breaks down the quiet thing Christopher Nolan did at 6am before the hardest scene in The Odyssey, and why any actor alive would thrive under it Matt Damon: "When I had to do the sirens, lashed to the mast, I showed up on the dock that morning and Chris was still there with Hoyte. Normally they go ahead on the camera boat. But he was waiting for me at six in the morning." Matt Damon: "He said, 'We were thinking we'd just start with you, because that's the emotional backbone of the scene. And we'll shoot till we're happy.' What he'd done was give me an hour-long boat ride to sequester myself and get my mind right." Matt Damon: "'We'll shoot till we're happy', which means till you're happy too. Anybody with a SAG card, given that kind of support... It comes from him really understanding what we do, and creating a space for us to be our best."

Tom Holland says Matt Damon stayed in tears for hours between takes on a nine minute Odyssey scene "Something I saw you do, when you did your big scene with Anne towards the end of the movie, it's like a nine minute scene" "You're lying there in tears, they cut, it takes five minutes to reload the camera, and you stayed in it the whole time, you were in that state for hours because of the nature of the way we had to shoot the stuff" "I didn't have to be there that day, but I remember being like, I can't leave, this is unprecedented stuff that's happening right now. And credit to Anne too, she did the same" "For me, as a young actor, to see two guys really at the top of their game operating like that, and it's not easy circumstances to be working with that camera"

Steve-O reveals the one stunt the entire Jackass cast refused to do “When we were shooting Jackass 3D we went up to Northern California to film a bunch of snow stunts, and they had a big bounce house on a ski slope headed for this Olympic ski jump, and the idea was to have the whole cast in it” “Even though we hated the idea of our heads clashing together in the bounce house, we probably still would have done it, except for the fact that there was a huge generator which kept the bounce house inflated which would have to follow behind it, and the thing was 500 pounds” “We just were not willing to have that generator land on us and crush us to death, so the whole cast backed out, maybe the first time the whole cast backed out of a stunt ever”

Tom Holland admits Spider-Man: Brand New Day was spiraling into an absolute mess before director Destin Daniel Cretton stepped in to rescue the movie. "I think we can all agree that Destin nailed it. I think we are so lucky to have Destin as the captain of our ship." "He came into this process when the movie was going in a hundred different directions, and really what we needed was someone to come in and focus us all on one idea." "And what's so amazing about Destin is that he's able to do that... without sacrificing the action, or the scope and scale of the movie." "If we didn't have Destin, this movie wouldn't be half of what it is."
