The whole segment, as transcribed
young man named J.J. Abrams it's Mike Nichols right directed by Mike Nichols yeah and that's actually it's based on what happened to CR if you knew CR in the 90s I was a prick complete asshole and then I shot him in the head he's been a sweetheart ever since Karen Allen Apex Mountain yes Denholm Elliott had trading places the following year yeah pivotal role in that movie that's a great 18 months what do you think he did with all that clout he acquired from raiders and trading places I don't know not a lot did he buy the whip from the Indiana maybe he bought it booby trap Peruvian temples definitely Cairo I mean Cairo's probably had a couple of other big moments probably better time how about this one Nazis as movie villains you just mentioned marathon man that's a pretty good one I was trying to think of what are the best victory comes out this year as well so we have victory and raiders same year you've got like the they're not just like villains they're like the other side of a war movie so like then they're you know like Ray Feinns and Schindler's lists you know what I mean or whatever Inglourious Bastards that's a pretty great one yeah that's good Christoph Waltz that's pretty good I think I'll go I mean I think Waltz is better than Tot but like Nazis it's just like there's really it's really satisfying to watch these guys get their fucking faces melted monkeys as comedy movie things that go badly it's like the apex of it being bad yeah I agree get the fucking monkeys out of here yeah the monkeys aren't cute who are these for why is it like who would ever be like oh this is cool this monkey is scratching at my face you guys have a lot of monkey takes don't like monkeys me neither actually John Williams so he's six years after Jaws he's on a on a real big run here and then Raiders and now it's like John Williams is doing my movie that's as good as it gets now do you mind if we look at his filmography quickly sure because I think he's done more than you you even realize

Powers on September 3rd streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers terms apply alright we have our John Williams answer and it seems like his apex just lasted for 50 years I mean you're gonna go with Cinderella Liberty he did the Poseidon Adventure he did the Long Goodbye he did Sugarland Express Earthquake Towering Inferno all in one year Jaws Close Encounters of the Third Kind Superman Superman was great he did all of the Indy movies he did Born on the Fourth of July he did JFK alright so it's probably Superman and Jurassic Park too I think Jurassic Park and Indy are over here Superman is over here Star Wars and Jaws are over here any other I mean we could do 40 Apex Mountains Fedoras oh Fedoras and a movie so Fedoras it's either this it's either like literally when they were in style in the 30s and 40s or whatever then there's this movie and then there's the Swingers revival right when you started wearing yeah right I think like being an American man in the 1940s and 50s is Apex Mountain for Fedoras okay great picking knits I have a few the dead Molina dummy is tough it's not great Indy taking 15 straight to the face punches from the bald Nazi not barely a mark after not great why didn't they just kill Indy 7 points during the movie not great here's my biggest nitpick was Marion like John Paul Bonham like how does she drink like that she was 120 pounds I know just throwing down liquor like did she not have a liver what was going on there do you have a friend like that who can just crush not like that I've only seen that on like the challenge and she's drinking like like mountain moonshine like it's not like she's like oh this is like good some fine scotch she's drinking like what are she and Belloc drinking aquavit or something but it's like his he's like my family's vineyard so I don't really know but it seems like it's some sort of like liqueur or something there are people like this though who can do this especially in the 30s I mean yeah I mean the Irish we don't have to tout their virtues I have some familiarity with people who drink like this but they're usually just slappier and more belligerent she's pretty she's pretty pissed off a lot you know was she an alcoholic you think Chris if we were going to do a 10 episode Netflix series that's what I would make it about I would get Indy out leaving Las Vegas exactly Intreatment when a man loves a woman Intreatment should do movie characters that actually is that should be the new season of Intreatment Harris Indy becomes Andy Garcia when a man loves a woman my wife I went through the garbage last night I found a couple bottles I just heard drinking just flummoxes me what was your big pick in there Chris well I got two one is I just feel like everybody is under reacting to the fact that they found the Ark of the Covenant I just feel like there's just like a lot of German guys standing around being like what's in that box oh yeah it's the Ark of the Covenant you know what I mean let's go listen to some jams over here so what do you want like you want people reacting like they just won the title in the NBA or like what kind of reactions you want handshakes high fives I think it would just be like a little bit more like it turns out the Bible is real like would have been like a big surprise yeah and then on the flip side how does Indy know that closing your eyes spares you from the ghosts coming out of it that's the number one nitpick is what is closing your eyes meaningfully
