The Ramp, The Strap, The Stirrup, and our very own Eagle's Nest, Bill. Oh, the Eagle's Nest is back! Yeah. So just it all comes full circle back to cruising. Wow. Look at Richard Price, man. On the ground. Doing the work, yeah. Doing the work. Shoe leather reporting. Apex Mountain, Pacino, no. Ellen Barkin? It's either this or Big Easy, right? I think it's this era. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, it's probably this. 88, 89. Especially like the way Ebert wrote about her. Yeah, I would say yes. John Goodman hasn't happened yet. That's coming later. Probably Roseanne crossed with Big Lebowski. That's funky. Phone ad dating murder movies? This is probably the apex, right? The phone ad dating, this is the apex for sure. Yeah. The song Sea of Love probably didn't get any better. I think it played six times. I think Sea of Love was like a massive hit when it was out. I think it was like the slow dance. Number three on Netflix is the number one for this? I think it had a bigger cultural hit. Pacino character is named Frank. So we got Colonel Frank Slade from Son of a Woman. I think that's the apex mountain for it. We have Frank Serpico. And we have Frank Keller. So how would you rank those, CR? I think I'd go Slade, Serpico, Keller, with all due respect. Yeah, I mean, he won the Oscar for that. Yeah, I did wonder if Serpico was number one. But yeah, I think you're right. He won the Oscar for Frank Slade. Late 80s Yankee fans? I'm going to say yes. Michael Rooker? I don't know what it is, but it's not this. It might be Cliffhanger, him taking a personally that Sly Stallone tried to save his girlfriend without a safety harness. We're still trying to figure that out. Yeah, and then that's all I got. All right, pick and nets. So would Alan Barkin's character really recover from Frank flipping out and locking her in a closet? I feel like that's the end of the date. It's like he gets nine strikes in this at-bat. It's the end of the date, was. He shows up trashed to her apartment where her daughter is sleeping. Yeah. He tries to ask her to live with him, but gets bombed there. He throws her in a closet. He lies about what he does. He almost starts a fight in her place of business. It's crazy. Okay. There's all of that stuff. And then there's, when I met you, you were a cop investigating a serial killer. Yes. Who you thought I was and then fucked me. Okay. You thought I was a serial killer and still fucked me. I don't know which one is worse, bro. That you thought that, you once thought that I was a serial killer or that you were willing to fuck serial killers. Like what? No. No. I can't. Sir, I'm sorry. We cannot date. I'm sorry. We, we, we, sorry. Also, it's Ellen Barkin. She could have done a lot better. Yeah. There's some, there's some, there's some hedge fund guy in the late eighties. She could have met. Yeah. I think locked in the closet. It's probably a deal breaker, but you guys just listed seven more. She could have started dating Kiki Vandewa. You know? Kiki Vandewa. Oh man. Yeah. I'd pick a nits. Frank, Frank revealing that he was on a job when they met. It was absurd. What'd you got, Wes? Frank's still being forced to work with the dude who's now porking his wife. Forced, it seems like he loves it. He's like, it seems like they could have found a way to separate those two homies. Like, yeah, maybe put them in one different.
