I enjoyed both documentaries about each of them. I thought Arnold seemed more sad about where he is now. He was always on top of everything, arguably the biggest Hollywood star at some point in time, then a governor. Had a great marriage. Now, he's is living with the scandal that happened. Sly was just focused on living. Moving back east to get the best out of life. He's probably loved living in California, but he needed something new to happen.

Wow! I felt the exact opposite. I thought Stallone was the sad one and Arnold was Mr Positivity.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

they are iconic. As a kid, growing up in the 90s, i was a arnold fan. Huge fan. I couldnt really understand Sly at all.

These days, im more of a Sly guy.
