Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
73:36 – 78:15… Day Parade and the actual 1993 parade. It was 21 degrees outside. Harrison Ford said, I'm fine. I don't need a jacket. I'm good. And it wasn't scripted. Apex Mountain. Yep. So Apex Mountain, we still don't know what it is. We've done 325 podcasts. Still haven't totally figured out. Harrison Ford, no. Definitely not. But Harrison Ford playing a guy named Desmondo? Yes. Is this Harrison Ford's best Dr. Richard? Why don't you answer your own question? Any frantic fans out there? Are you allowed to be a frantic fan? He does start cocaine in a bathroom stall in that movie, so it feels like worth mentioning. …
The whole segment, as transcribed
the pay phone in the Pullman pub, and they filmed it in the St. Patrick's Day Parade and the actual 1993 parade. It was 21 degrees outside. Harrison Ford said, I'm fine. I don't need a jacket. I'm good. And it wasn't scripted. Apex Mountain. Yep. So Apex Mountain, we still don't know what it is. We've done 325 podcasts. Still haven't totally figured out. Harrison Ford, no. Definitely not. But Harrison Ford playing a guy named Desmondo? Yes. Is this Harrison Ford's best Dr. Richard? Why don't you answer your own question? Any frantic fans out there? Are you allowed to be a frantic fan? He does start cocaine in a bathroom stall in that movie, so it feels like worth mentioning. Thanks again to Honda. Lost my virginity in a Civic Gym. Tommy Lee Jones, I think this was Apex Mountain. I think so. Yeah. He's an A-lister after this movie. Yeah. I don't think he was before. So Joey Pants is an interesting one because he'd been around for, I mean, I remember Risky Business, Eddie and the Cruisers. You go all the way through the 80s. He's in Running Scared. He became a that guy and then at some point in the early 90s, he became Joe Pantoliano and not a that guy, but he never started a movie. And this is the run of him popping into movies like this. We're like, oh, Joey Pants. I love that guy. I really do feel like he was around here. It's quite a decade culminating with The Matrix. Right. Shout out Cypher. And then by the time he's on The Sopranos, people are like, oh, yeah. But that's his apex, right? Ralphie? It has to be. You could argue it's here. Like he fought to stay in the sequel. I don't know. What do you guys think? Sopranos? Yeah. All right. Fine. Whatever. Side with Mallory. Bad Joey Pants wigs, not Apex Mountain. No. One-armed killers? I'm going to say yes. Oh. Yeah. Interesting. Definitely. Yeah. Probably so. Andrew Davis, definitely. Yes. Dutch guys named Chuck? Any Dutch soccer players? Not that I can think of. In Holland? No? Okay. Chicago movies? I think it's Ferris. Ferris. Dark Knight. We got Blues Brothers, Ferris, this. Who said Dark Knight? I love that. Dark Knight is not a Chicago. I mean, it is technically a Chicago. They never say it's Chicago. It is in Gotham. Wow. I mean, it's Phil. If they shot like one scene from Empire Strikes Back here, it wouldn't be a Chicago movie. I don't know. I'm sleeping. What is that? You can go to the ball. Yeah. Yeah. So, Blues Brothers. Beef. Yes. Oh. Beef. Beef. Blues Brothers, I always thought was like Mount Rushmore top four, but now it's been 30, 34 years. I don't, I don't know if it still has the same current. 44 years. Yeah. It does for me. I just, I don't know with people under 30, whether it's the same. All right. Well, that's one of the primary concerns of this pod is what people under 30 are interested in. We didn't solve that one. Fugitives, Apex Bound? Probably not. OJ Simpson. When the juice was on the loose. Oh, yeah. 12 hours that was, man. Woo. Characters named Cosmo. No. The same year we had Cosmo Kramer and Cosmo. Oh. Yeah. This is a great Cosmo run. Interesting. So, the redirect twist, we talked about this the first time we talked about this movie. Right. I feel like it became a thing eventually, but wasn't a thing when this movie happened. Do you want to explain the redirect twist, Chris? So, the idea basically being that the entire movie that you think you're watching then gets turned into something else twice, right? Yeah. Yes. You think you're going this way. I feel like this is my theory and I have forgotten it. It was your thing? I forgot that idea, Chris. Too many shots of the helmet, Jim. What was the redirect twist? Was there something else? I believe you and Andy on the first pod discussed Silence of the Lambs
