Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
67:22 – 70:54… work. Like all film geeks. I did it 30 years ago. I can't remember it. Yojimbo means bodyguard in Japanese, if I'm saying that correctly. Interesting. Apex Mountain. Costner. No. It's not. No. I think he already had it. I think his Apex Mountain led to him being able to make a movie like this. Whitney, no. I think it's the Star Spangled Banner. That's one of the most enduring pop culture moments in American history. I think that's everyone's Apex Mountain, actually. Robert Wool, it's either hosted the Oscars in The Bodyguard or Seven Seasons of Arliss with Mike Tolan. I love Arliss. You didn't like …
The whole segment, as transcribed
And maybe that's actually a little bit of a fucking, because all film, you like Karasawa's work. Like all film geeks. I did it 30 years ago. I can't remember it. Yojimbo means bodyguard in Japanese, if I'm saying that correctly. Interesting. Apex Mountain. Costner. No. It's not. No. I think he already had it. I think his Apex Mountain led to him being able to make a movie like this. Whitney, no. I think it's the Star Spangled Banner. That's one of the most enduring pop culture moments in American history. I think that's everyone's Apex Mountain, actually. Robert Wool, it's either hosted the Oscars in The Bodyguard or Seven Seasons of Arliss with Mike Tolan. I love Arliss. You didn't like Arliss? Arliss is dope. I share Quipper tickets with Mike Tolan, who was one of the people that created it. And I make Arliss jokes all the time. Sandra Oh. Yeah. He had a good cast. Like Sandra Oh. She came from Arliss. Michael Bowman. Yeah. Apex Mountain for Mike Starr. I still think it's Dumb and Dumber. I still think it's him choking to death on the pepper. He's just been in so many movies. He's been a lot. Knife throwing? I've seen better knife throwing, but I think the knife throwing is underrated from Costner. He definitely did the Tom Cruise learned how to throw knives for four weeks. Oh, excuse me. We missed the scene. I'm so sorry. What scene? The knife throwing scene? No. We missed the fight scene between him and Mike Starr in the kitchen. Oh, I skipped over it, but we hit it. We didn't talk about it. Right. Anyway, but yeah. At the end when he just throws the knife, like, yo, I'm serious. Stop fucking with me. Right. It's perfect. Yeah. Yeah. He's just getting more and more disgruntled that this is still going. Jealous sisters. We've probably done better, but I do said this before in the rewatchables. I like when sisters, when it gets real deep and raw and ugly with the sisters in movies. I really enjoy it. I think it's a whole different level of shit that should be off the table and it's not. Right. Camera rifles. No question. Apex man. Yeah, for sure. Camera. I don't think we ever saw another camera. Nobody couldn't touch this. It was the best camera rifle usage we've ever seen. How does this motherfucker get in with the camera rifle? Like as a cameraman? Like, how does that? He just has the swat. I had that for picking nits. I mean, the Oscars has a lot of security. You're not getting in with your camera rifle with the infrared light on it. Yo, I used to live at the corner of Franklin and La Brea. Yeah. Like right over there. So like if anybody that knows LA, if you live at the corner of Franklin and La Brea, you walk down to Hollywood Boulevard, you're right there. Stars on the ground, whole thing. I remember going to Fresh and Easy and they had a fucking robot dog that came over to me to check me for bombs, like a little robot thing. It's like tanks on the street. And all of that. And the guy was telling me, because, you know, obviously he came, the robot dog came over to check me and I went racial right away. Like, why you got to check me? You know what I mean? And so the dude was like, hey, just to let you know, it's the Academy Awards and we're doing this whole deal. They do a fucking thing from up under the ground to make sure that nobody is bombing the rail lines, the subway lines underneath the Dolby Theater. It is so, so, so hard to breach the Oscars and to fuck over them.
