So we have a category called Apex Mountain, where we try to figure out different people, locations, things in this movie was just at the peak of their all-time power. So I'm just going to ask you about yourself. What movie did you feel like, I am at the absolute complete command of every part of this process? This is it.

And if you talk about it, like, it's a small role, but just power, is Kim Staunton, who played, you know, who played, you know, Breeden's wife. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. All right. So we have a category called Apex Mountain, where we try to figure out different people, locations, things in this movie was just at the peak of their all-time power. So I'm just going to ask you about yourself. What movie did you feel like, I am at the absolute complete command of every part of this process? This is it. This is as good as I'm ever going to be right now. Was it this movie or was it another one? Well, no, there isn't. There's various moments in, you know, in Heat where it's all, you know, everything is harmony of the spheres. It's that feeling you have when you're the director and all the planning and all the work and all the analysis and all the training, everything comes together. And, man, it's just working and it's magic. And everybody, 200 people are feeling the same magic. Everybody gets it because we've all, you know, everybody on the crew, the cast, everybody, wow, we're all part of the same thing. So that's happened, you know, it happens a couple of times, a number of times for me on Heat. It certainly happened on, you know, Insider Ali when we did the Rumble in the Jungle. You know, every scene that Michael T. Williamson was in playing Don King, you know, he's a better Don King than Don King is Don King. You know, it's so, you know, when it happens, you're extremely grateful. And that's how I feel about podcasting with Chris. Sometimes it just happens for us. Chris has, we're going to a category called picking nits where we pick some nits with the movie. They're all innocent stuff. Chris, do you want to do your thing about the locations in L.A.? Go ahead. Well, no, I just think it's, this is probably more of a collateral question, but I think it applies to Heat as well, which is that you're obviously deeply researched, like all these films. You're talking about the legal system in Last of the Mohicans. But do you sometimes cheat L.A. traffic when it comes to whether or not a guy can get across town in X amount of time or where a location is? Sure. When Neil is, you know, I want Neil driving past those refineries when he's, when he's bent on, you know, when he's going, when he's going after, you know, Van Zandt. Van Zandt. And Nate says, you know, here's where Van Zandt lives. Do you have the time? I'll make the time. He says. And he's driving past those refineries with the steam coming out. You know, that's down in Terminal Island.
