but it ended up being great for the film. I think they tried to give them a bigger budget, but encouraged them to shoot, I guess, in California or somewhere else. And they're like, we'll take less money as long as we can. He had just enough juice to make them film in Utah. All right. They filmed a little bit in Arizona. Yeah. Yeah. Apex Mountain. Redford, no, we already decided it was this thing. Did that last episode. Right? What about mountains in movies? Apex Mountain for mountains? It's pretty good. I mean, Brokeback Mountain had mountain in the title. True. Um, no, I think, I think you might be right because of the two and a half. Brokeback Mountain takes place off the mountain though. Yeah, true. You know, thinking about getting back to Brokeback Mountain. That's true. Brokeback Mountain. It's always in their minds. The overture of just the wide shot of the mountain for two and a half minutes. Um, yeah, would you say Apex Mountain for mountains, dad? Yeah. He doesn't even know what Apex Mountain is. I would go with this or the mountain in, in alive. Oh. Equally difficult. Cliffhanger? Oh, Cliffhanger's good one. Slice the loan? Yeah. I'm trying to think of what other mountains. Well, the Iger Sanction, that movie. Iger Sanction, uh, the Everest. How about The Edge with Baldwin and Hopkins? True. Uh, Sidney Pollack, the answer is no. What is the answer? I think it's probably Tootsie. Okay. Because then that leads to Africa. Tootsie was, he crushed that one. Not, not him wearing suspenders with no shirt. Well, that's our Apex Mountain for him. You know, Sidney Pollack, the director, who's, I think, uh, first ballot Hall of Famer as a director. Sure. Is also an Eyes Wide Shut dad playing a really weird guy in the movie. I didn't know he was, it's a movie I avoided. Yeah, good idea. Sexually deviant lawyer, right? Good idea. It's sexually deviant lawyer, good way to put it. Apex Mountain for Crow Barrel Grounds, I'm going to say 100% yes. 100%. So, Will Gere, who's in this movie as, uh, as, Delgue? Delgue? Yeah. Or Bearclaw? I think he's as Bearclaw. Bearclaw. Bearclaw. That same year, he began his role as grandpa on the Waltons. Oh. Apex Mountain, lock it down. Way to go, Will. What a year. The Waltons was huge. You know what the Waltons was, Craig? No. Yeah. It was the biggest drama of the 70s. Hmm. It was set, when was the Walton set? Dad, do you remember? It's like, I don't remember. I didn't watch it. Big show with, uh, your brothers and sisters though. Yeah. Yeah. They liked it. That and Little House in the Prairie. Yeah. Uh, I don't have any other. Did we ever, did we ever see Del Q again in another movie? He did not have much of a credit. Yeah. Yeah. This is, yeah. There was, I don't, I, this did not lead to him getting his own show on NBC. Stefan Gersach, and he was in a hundred things, but a lot of TV. Yeah. He's probably a lot of things where he's in Dave. Oh. So shout out to that. He's in Miami Vice season five, episode 16, victim of circumstance. Oh, Bill, you must remember that. I don't remember that one. Uh, I'm bad on season five. Yeah. And that's pretty much it. Next category, dad, Cruz or Hanks. If you could put Cruz or Hanks in this movie, which one would you pick? Hanks. Hanks. Yeah. I went with Cruz. Cause I think it, it becomes a comedy. I don't want to come. I think I want to see the Cruz version of this more. Hanks is the obvious choice, but Jeremiah Johnson is hilarious. It is pretty funny, but immediately the, the, uh, Reacher series and Cruz playing Reacher. If you've read the books. I knew this was good. So I can't see Cruz in any of these roles. This is the most upset he's ever been. When they cast Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher, it was a violation for my dad. Do you like the Amazon series? Of course he does. What are you talking about? Yeah. I do. Yeah. Well, you know what show there's a show that has checked the most boxes ever for a Dr. Bill show that's coming out in October. What? Boston blue with Donnie. Oh yeah. This is it. This is, we finally reached peak. It's just blue bloods without Selleck. But in Boston. Yeah. And my dad loved Donnie Wahlberg in the show and loves Donnie Wahlberg in general. Cause blue bloods in New York or Boston. It's New York. Okay. This is blue bloods in Boston. How did they explain the Mark Wahlberg being in blue bloods,
