Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
84:36 – 88:36… one more line. Yeah, sure. I like, I just, I can't get Pacino's voice out of my head now. He's like, I fought for you and I still fight for you. It's great. Apex Mountain. Yeah. Pacino, Crow, Plummer. Bruce McGill, definitely. Is it Pacino's Apex Mountain? No, God, no. Not for anybody. I don't think it's Crow's either. I think Crow's is gladiator. The golfing henchman guy, definitely. Yeah, that guy, Kepko. That guy was amazing. It's either this weekend when he wins the PGA or that suit. Or when he golfed in a suit. God, so good. The really nice swing. Striping it. It's great. Just a nice shot shape. Kept his …
The whole segment, as transcribed
Seinfeld. It's incredible. Part 8. Part 8? Sydney? Wait, one more line. Yeah, sure. I like, I just, I can't get Pacino's voice out of my head now. He's like, I fought for you and I still fight for you. It's great. Apex Mountain. Yeah. Pacino, Crow, Plummer. Bruce McGill, definitely. Is it Pacino's Apex Mountain? No, God, no. Not for anybody. I don't think it's Crow's either. I think Crow's is gladiator. The golfing henchman guy, definitely. Yeah, that guy, Kepko. That guy was amazing. It's either this weekend when he wins the PGA or that suit. Or when he golfed in a suit. God, so good. The really nice swing. Striping it. It's great. Just a nice shot shape. Kept his weight back. Yeah, fading it just a little bit. And really kind of exploded through wearing a suit. It's hard to do. I guess, is this Christopher Plummer's Apex Mountain? Eh, Sound of Music. Yeah, I think it's probably going to be Sound of Music. Nobody's Apex Mountain. This is the longest Joey Pants nominee field. The biggest field we've ever had. Is this, cancel the category. Is this man's Apex Mountain just in terms of his ability to do, because getting this movie made is kind of an amazing achievement. I think it's indicative of where he was after Heat. I think Heat is. He takes like three, four years after Heat. Heat is. And does this. That's in the truest constitutional, original, originalist reading of Apex Mountain? But Heat allowed him to do that though. In Heat, he had De Niro and Pacino at a point when that still mattered. Yeah. And got like the best possible movie out of them. We've talked about every single person in Joey. And he's getting two rewatchable podcasts out of the same movie. That's true. If that's not Apex Mountain, I don't know who it is. We had so many Joey Pants guys. Philip Baker Hall, Gina Gershon, Stephen Tobolowsky, Rip Thorn. Torn. Torn. Sorry. Rip Thorn, my bad. I mispronounced that. Rip Thorn, kind of wasted in this movie. Why couldn't he have been Wingshauser? They never filmed him head on. I think he had stuff that was cut. He must have. He must have, right? He was big then because Larry Sanders had just ended. That was like Rip Thorn momentum. Hallie Eisenberg, the Pepsi girl from the Pepsi commercials, plays Wigand's daughter. Colm Fior, Debbie Mazar, Lindsey Krauss, Michael Gambon, and Esther Serrano as the FBI guy. For me, the winner, because we already did Bruce Wigill, unless we're just going to give this to Bruce McGill again. I like the idea of McGill winning the Triple Crown. The Triple Crown is fun. I do think Lindsey Krauss, a lot of people don't know what her name is. And meanwhile, she's like this really, really accomplished, beloved actress. Go find House of Games. House of Games is amazing. Yeah. So one of those two I would go with. Could this work as a 10 episode Netflix show in 2019? Yeah, it'd be amazing. I would watch that. Yeah, definitely. Okay. Would it work if it was filmed in the same way? More smoking. Like all this, like the gulf. It was like an episode, it was just looking at the gulf. To make it truly 99 feeling, we replaced Dead Can Dance with Rage Against the Machine on the soundtrack. Good. Good idea. Yes? Yes. Or a sequel where he, Jeffrey Wigand starts dating the broadcast news lady. Nice. What if it's just, they met on like an investigative piece. Jeff and Sue. Jeff and Sue. It's more of a Benny and June style movie. She gets mad about the gulf thing. She's high energy. I actually think that's a good match. That's great. I would watch a Twitch stream that was just Lil Bergman and Jeffrey Wigand watching Knicks games. Watching the semifinals together. Do you think they'll make the semifinals? What do you think about Faraday and Wigand on the golf channel? Oh yeah. Together, teaming up. Jeffrey Wigand. You, you golf and loafers, sir. How hard was that? And you didn't break your confidentiality agreement, sir. You're wearing a tie. Was he wearing a tie? Or is just he had this shirt? When I think of the great performances on a Sunday, sir, I think of Brooks Koepka at Aaron Hills and you at the Louisville Men's Driving Range. This is the same accent as Bono. That doesn't sound anything like Faraday. This is Bono as David Faraday. It feels like it's also retroactively shaking your confidence in Bono. Like you're now wondering whether or not Bono isn't Bono. It's not. Can I tell you a Bono story? Sure. I saw this movie about Luciano Pavarotti. Yeah. Bono is interviewed in the movie
