Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
67:25 – 72:46… a real sequel for Mean Girls 2, and she's very upset after. Yeah, it's bullshit. They shouldn't be able to do this. Yeah, don't do that. Fuck off all of it. Apex Mountain, Denzel no. Spike Lee no. Clive Owen, I'm going to say yes. 2006 Clive Owen, Children of Men and Inside Man. I'm going to say this was his Apex Mountain hands down. That's on the short list of best two film releases in a single year by an actor ever. I mean, those are two great movies. 21st Century Jodie Foster, I'm going to say yes. I think it's kind of inarguable. She's mostly been a director in the 20th century. Yeah. You know, Flight …
The whole segment, as transcribed
that's in the whole movie. They did this with Mean Girls 2 and got my daughter accidentally sucked into it thinking it was like a real sequel for Mean Girls 2, and she's very upset after. Yeah, it's bullshit. They shouldn't be able to do this. Yeah, don't do that. Fuck off all of it. Apex Mountain, Denzel no. Spike Lee no. Clive Owen, I'm going to say yes. 2006 Clive Owen, Children of Men and Inside Man. I'm going to say this was his Apex Mountain hands down. That's on the short list of best two film releases in a single year by an actor ever. I mean, those are two great movies. 21st Century Jodie Foster, I'm going to say yes. I think it's kind of inarguable. She's mostly been a director in the 20th century. Yeah. You know, Flight Plan was a big hit. Yeah. Like, it's an okay movie, but, you know, she was the star of that movie and it was a big hit. As Sean would say, that movie's fine. It is fine. Juicy Fruit? Oh. What is Chuck Yeager? Better use of Juicy Fruit in a movie ever? Probably not. Does Chuck Yeager chew Blackjack or Juicy Fruit in the planes in the right stuff? I don't remember. I don't think it's Juicy Fruit, so I'm going to go yes, Bill. Juicy Fruit, Apex Mountain. Gangstas is genocide. Yes. Here's the tough one, Chris. Fixers. This is Apex Mountain for fixers. No. The Wolf. Michael Clayton. No, The Wolf. Come on, guys. What are you talking about? Please put some respect on Pulp Fiction. Jesus Christ. When Winston Wolfe shows up in Pulp Fiction, do you remember that moment in 1994? I was like, this is how you make a movie right here. So I was going to say, I also agree with Winston Wolfe, except Michael Clayton is a whole movie about Winston Wolfe and gets nominated for an Oscar and is one of the three best Clooney movies. So that would be the counter. I think this is probably third. Although Winston Wolfe is definitely better at being a fixer than Michael Clayton. Agree. So what are we rating? Also, by the way, Jodie Foster is not a good fixer, right? We learned that, that she wasn't good in this ultimately, not effective. Yeah, that's why she's third. I have Winston Wolfe as Apex Mountain for fixers. Okay. And I have Bruce Willis' Spanish girlfriend as Apex Mountain for worst fucking movie in the history of any good movie. Jesus. It's just derailing movie for 15 minutes. Why do you keep selling out your Pulp Fiction takes but you just, just, No, it's just, I just want to get them out early when the pandemic's over and we can do Pulp Fiction rewatchables in the same studio and look at each other. I just want you guys to be prepared when I rip that 15 minutes to shreds. We're prepared. Baby, where are you going? We've watched all the compliance videos. It's fucking terrible. We know how you feel about Bruce Willis' girlfriend. It's just awful. Fuck this. Really terrible. Seriously, fuck this. How about Apex Mountain for post-heat heist movies? Hmm. Everything since 95. That's a big, this is a big one, Chris. This is a big question for you. Wow, that's why Chris, for people listening, Chris just looked away. He looks like I just asked him to borrow $10,000. I know, but now I'm doing like the Galifianakis at the blackjack table. I'm trying to like remember every, I'm trying to remember every heist movie in the last 15 years. I mean, it's, I'll say this. It is in the carousel for sure. That is such a non-answer. What do you want from me? That answer sucks. You know what that was? That was a beta answer. Wow. Beta male answer. Did you just learn that term? You beta answered that. Oh, man. It's this or Den of Thieves. Let's be honest. There hasn't been that many heist movies because Hollywood hates us. They'd rather make fucking superhero movies. There have been some good ones. I don't think they're on this level. Which one? Does Dark Knight count as like a heist movie given the first? No. Okay, so Logan Lucky. That was pretty good. No, it's not in the same way. Not as good as Inside Man. Hell or High Water? No. I'm looking at a list here. Widows? Widows was pretty good. I don't think the heist part of Widows is up. Yeah, the heist is the weakest part. Viola Davis is the best part. Baby Driver? No way. Baby Driver. Not bad. Not bad. Make the carousel. The Town. Oh. So that's the thing. This is the carousel. The Town, Inside Man, Den of Thieves. No, I forgot The Town. The Town is the best post-heat heist movie. Also, Fast Five is a heist movie. Oh. It really kind of technically is. I mean, Chris and I are not as big of Fast and Furious guys, but Fast Five is definitely a heist movie. There's a true heist in it. I probably should have done research before I brought up this question, so I was more prepared. This is a three-hour pod, though. This conversation is a three-hour pod. I would go The Town one. I would go Fast Five 2, and I would say Inside Man 3. The Fast Five, the... So you're just putting Den of Thieves fourth, even though Den of Thieves has like six sick bank robberies. Yeah, but to me, Den of Thieves is all about the... Where's the dinner place they go where you cook up the grill? The fucking Benihana scene to me is what really
