Josh Clark: 作为一名播客主持人，我认为特技演员为电影付出了巨大的努力，但往往不为人所知。他们承担着高风险的工作，需要具备专业的技能和训练。虽然CGI技术在某些情况下可以替代特技，但特技演员仍然在电影制作中扮演着重要的角色。我希望通过这期节目，让更多的人了解特技演员的工作，并对他们表示敬意。 Chuck Bryant: 我认为特技演员的工作非常辛苦，但往往得不到应有的认可。他们需要具备各种技能，如舞台格斗、驾驶、坠落等，并且需要在恶劣的环境中工作。虽然特技演员的收入不错，但由于竞争激烈，工作机会不多。我希望通过这期节目，让更多的人了解特技演员的困境，并呼吁社会给予他们更多的关注和支持。
