Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
73:05 – 78:43… work for that. Wonderful. He's done like he's had a really good voice work career but he should have been in everything. Yeah. He should have. Talk to daddy. Apex Mountain. The best. This is hard. This is hard. I think for guests it probably is. Oh yeah. I think so. Yeah. I feel like he had the most juice after this. For Fred Miller? Is this movie even though it only had 20 million? Fred Miller is tough because he was on the show in the 70s with Martin Mull that was like a pretty massive comedy hit. Fernwood something. What about John Michael Higgins then? I think it is. Yeah. Yeah. I think if probably at this …
The whole segment, as transcribed
He's one of my favorite TV movies. He's awesome in that. He did really good Legend of Korra did incredible voice work for that. Wonderful. He's done like he's had a really good voice work career but he should have been in everything. Yeah. He should have. Talk to daddy. Apex Mountain. The best. This is hard. This is hard. I think for guests it probably is. Oh yeah. I think so. Yeah. I feel like he had the most juice after this. For Fred Miller? Is this movie even though it only had 20 million? Fred Miller is tough because he was on the show in the 70s with Martin Mull that was like a pretty massive comedy hit. Fernwood something. What about John Michael Higgins then? I think it is. Yeah. Yeah. I think if probably at this point if somebody mentions a movie to him it's probably this one. Yeah. I guess. O'Hara no but I don't even know what I mean she's It's almost impossible to pick. Probably Home Alone. Beetlejuice. I mean she's the mom in Home Alone. Schitt's Creek? Schitt's Creek where she won Emmys for? I mean Moira Rose is like She's the mom in Home Alone. It made like 700 million dollars. She's the mom in Beetlejuice. I was thinking about this because Schitt's Creek is one of my favorite recent shows in Home Alone. 89, 90. Yeah. She just is. How many people can compete? After hours? Yeah. Geez. Never on SNL. Showed up. They hired a new head writer. The guy was acting like a crazy person and just went back to Toronto. She was in like the second year of Eddie Murphy. John Michael Higgins yes. McKeon? No. It's not. It's probably Better Call Saul. Saul. Yeah. Yeah. Still haven't watched it. Which also starred at Big Lee Jr. Jennifer Coolidge. White Lotus. I think White Lotus. It's White Lotus or Sleeve Lulon. She's doing commercials now. Yes. White Lotus propelled her to a level of like rediscovered fame and relevance that I think is inarguable. People imitating her scenes from Legally Blonde is sort of like what made her this sort of figure. You do this sometimes but Coolidge is a rare like maybe there is more than one Apex Mountain because the time gap is so big. Yeah. Stifford's mom was one of the iconic Lady's characters. Very important. And there was even a song about her an alternative song that I forget who did that one but it became Not Stifford's mom? No. Somebody had Stifford. There's a Stifford's mom? I thought there was a Stifford song. Or was that Stifford's mom? I think it's Stifford's mom has got it going on. Is that about Stifford? No. No. I'm mixing. But maybe there's a Stifford's mom parody set to Stifford's mom. I thought Stifford's mom was in something. Fred Willard we said no. Dog shows? Sure. Maybe. I mean. I think so. Or the actual Westminster dog show. Roasting a goat definitely. And Philadelphia. 100%. Terror songs. Yes. Pet People movies? America Bitch Magazine. Yes. Pet People movies. Yes. Yeah. I think so. Jane Lynch gotta be Glee right? It has to be Glee. No question. Kimonos? Just kidding. How about Posey? Oh man. Oh that's tough. Hard. I feel like part of the frustrating thing about her career is that kind of there was never an Apex Mountain. It was always like oh I love Parker Posey. Party girl. Somewhere probably in the mid 90s she was a girl. Yeah. Yeah. Somewhere in there. Unbelievable in this though. Yeah. Unbelievable in this. She's pretty great at Days of Confused. Yeah she is. She's so good at Days of Confused. Guffman. She's great in Guffman. Man it's probably somewhere in mid 90s. Cruiser Hanks. Wait. What? What about Eugene Levy? No. It's Schitt's Creek. It's Schitt's Creek. Or Splash. Oh yeah. Just watch Splash all the time. No it's Schitt's Creek. Because you also have your kid in the same thing. Yeah yeah. Yeah. You also get credit for that as an Apex. I wanted to ask you this. Yeah. Because you were a comedy expert. Yeah. Thank you. You're welcome. Comedy ensemble cast? Oh for a movie? Oh. What do you think? It's at least in the conversation. It's in the convo. It's in the top 10. Yeah. So who's the competition for this? Anchorman? Yeah. Bridesmaids? Bridesmaids. Yeah it's a bunch of Apatow movies probably. Yeah. Trying to think 80s. Oh shit. You should have texted that one to me. I would have wanted more time on that question. 80s is tough because this is like when Amanda asked you about fictional movie houses. Oh yeah. You were enraged. I still don't have an answer to that. Enraged. Such a great question. Because like 80s high school party comedies like have a bunch of heavy hitters. I don't feel that I have the expertise to answer this. Honestly I think Anchorman's a really good one. I think it might be Anchorman. I mean almost so many people on that. It's like an entire decade of people who either were stars or became stars. Yeah. Yeah. It's up there though. Cruiser Hanks what do you got? Hanks. Tom Hanks. Yeah. Also from Pine Nut. Who does Hanks play? He'd be a great Harlan Pepper and I do think he could do Hamilton Swan. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. I think he could have done McKinnon too. I don't even know. No. I wouldn't be able to process it. Look Hanks in the Black Jeopardy sketch from SNL and you put him in Best in Show. You have a great time. Scorsese or Spielberg? Spielberg. Yeah Spielberg. What role would Philip Seymour Hoffman have played? I thought this was easy. I did too actually. Oh. What do you have? I had Stefan. Interesting. Yeah. What did you have? I had Parker Posey's husband. Hamilton Swan. You just want to recast him. You really want to recast him. I think he would have been good with her. I think maybe as much as I love Jim Piddick, Trevor Beckwith. With an English accent? Yeah. I really like the Hoffman character. Just increasing exasperation. That would be really good.
