    Soooo...what's your favourite Favreau project?? (directed/written/produced/created/acted.....it's a biggggg list!)
  • @Ojja78
    Jon Favreau's career is insane. Swingers was a great movie and seeing where "that dude from Swingers" wound up is just juicy.
  • @aR0ttenBANANA
    The 90s had some crazy actor/writers doing some iconic work.
  • @DanArnets1492
    I still remember when he was in FRIENDS as Monica's rich ex-BF that somehow decided to become a UFC fighter back when NO ONE knew about the UFC
  • @_JohnKane_
    Isn't he in an episode of The Sopranos as himself too?
  • @Krikitt
    Swingers is one of the best break up movies ever made. Watched it in my 20’s after a breakup and it helped me get through it. In just the opening scene alone. “You can’t do anything to make her wanna come back, in fact you can only do things to make her not wanna come back.”
  • @agneevX
    I remember watching Chef years back thinking what a masterpiece it was. That movie became my instant favorite and remains so to this day.
  • @BwAaS
    Swingers managed to capture young adult male friendship at it's best, And every time you watch it that feeling comes through. Probably wont ever be replicated!
  • @headphoneboy
    Swingers is one of those movies that is so classic and timeless.
  • @geraldpope3779
    An absolute 90's treasure. I never knew that the movie was so personal but that explains why it all felt so natural.
  • This movie came out when I was the same age as these guys and it HIT HARD. I never noticed it in the cinema, or it wasn't played in my area because at the time I was dabbling in acting in TX, but I saw it in the video store. I watched it, then bought it, then made all my friends watch it. We quoted this movie for a decade!!! This is one of those great films that catches the vibe of a generation. If you were that age, you loved it.
  • Favreau in the replacements is such an underrated character he’s hilarious in that movie
  • @mmundle941
    The irony of the line “this is the face behind the guy behind the guy behind the guy” is hilarious
  • @lionheart4424
    Love the video, but why is Vince in the thumbnail and not Jon?
  • @gp556by45
    Ironically; I just watched this movie 2 days before you posted this for the first time. I'm 34 and this movie portrays the group of male friends better than any movie I've ever watched as of yet. Everything is so relatable without being over the top and unrealistic.
  • @Man2th806
    Great video! Was thrown off by the Red Herring having Vince Vaughn as the thumbnail picture, but still enjoyed learning about Favreau's career
  • @DCR_RANG
    I remember when I first watched swingers. One of the best comedy’s ever
