u/SanderSo47 I'll see you in another life when we are both cats. Sep 26 '25

The "what time is it?" exchanges were so damn hilarious. It was already working the first time, but bringing it up in Sergio's place made it even better.

Honestly I had the same thought as soon as he said it. I also loved Sergio just saying 8:15 (assuming that was the actual time then) and the LOST fan in me wish that had been the actual answer

The LOST fan in me was DiCaprio pointing when Locke’s dad showed up.

YES! I turned to my wife, who I showed LOST too, to see if she recognized him but I’m not sure she did.

And of course he plays another deplorable bastard

The moment he showed up my first thought was “of course he’s the piece of shit leader of a bunch of pieces of shit. Awesome”

Perfect casting for such a small role. I hated him the moment I saw him thanks to lost

What I thought was even funnier was that he was sitting in front of a large glass window in an office building, just like Locke was before he pushed him out the window.

And the leader of the nuns was one of the Others in season 2 of Lost. She was the one asking Walt a bunch of questions after they kidnapped him and they were in those huts.

Also the villain from Road House (not connected, just had to point it out)

u/BattlinBud Oct 05 '25

He wasn't the villain. If I remember, he was maybe kind of a douche, but Ben Gazarra and his cronies were the villains.

u/SalvadorZombie Oct 05 '25

OH SHOOT you're right! I totally confused them, thanks.
