So whether it's buying tickets to the game and grabbing a coffee, it earns unlimited 2% cash rewards on purchases. Say it with me. The ActiveCash credit card from Wells Fargo. Be a 2%er. Learn more at wellsfargo.com forward slash active cash. Terms apply. All right. Apex Mountain. Mm-hmm. I'm not giving you Sean Penn, but what about young Sean Penn? So what would this be? Where's the divide? Like 81-85 Sean Penn. Oh. Yeah. Would you go here or Bad Boys? Is At Close Range in? It's too late. After. Yeah. I go this. Yeah. I think this is bigger than Bad Boys. Phoebe Cates? Yes. Probably, yeah. Jennifer Jason Leigh, no, but what is it? She's a hard one for Apex Mountain. I'd probably say, did she win an Oscar ever? I don't know the answer. It feels like she's been in our lives for like 100 years. Single-Way Female was a big movie. What about that Jason Patrick movie? Rush? Rush is awesome. She was in Backdraft. Early 90s, I felt like, was her moment. Yeah. So somewhere in there. Masturbation scenes? We've probably done better. No. Van Halen tickets? I'm not Googling it. I'll tell you that. Van Halen tickets? Scalping in movies? Scalping in movies I have. Yeah. Mall movies? It's this Mallrats. I think it's this for mall movies. Okay, I think so. Valley movies? So this or Boogie Nights? Boogie Nights. Yeah. Boogie Nights ones. How about the 1973 AMC Gremlin? Yeah. That was Mike Damone's car. Yeah. Jefferson's car. 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. Yeah. Yeah. Tom Petty songs in a movie? Free Fallen and Jerry Maguire? Free Fallen. What's that? It has to be Free Fallen. All right, it's time. Cruise or Hanks? Well, Hanks. It wasn't offered to Hanks? Yeah. It wasn't Hanks in the mix for Brad, right? And then he winds up doing Bachelor Party? It's a tough one. We've never had a Cruise or Hanks where there's no star of the movie. So it's almost like you got to go with Brad. I like to think about like Cruise playing Spicoli because Cruise and Penn were like neck and neck right around here. I think he—I don't know if he could have done it. I almost think Cruise as Ratner would have been more interesting. He just could have gone Joel Goodson-ish. Yeah, I mean, Cruise as Damone would have been amazing. That would have been incredible. Oh, my God. Yeah. He wouldn't have done the two-pump mic though. It's Hanks as Brad. He saw that part of the script. He's like, I'm out. Tom Cruise has to last. Until Stanley Kubrick was like, let's revisit that. Yeah. Yeah, it's Hanks. I think it's Hanks as Brad. Yeah. Score is five to five. Great. Wow. Racehorse, rock band, wrestler, fantasy team name. All-American burgers. I got Ron Johnson, audio consultant, as my racehorse. My racehorse is the attitude. Oh. The way that's muscle. The attitude. Picky knits. Why didn't Rat go for it with Stacey after the first date?
104:58 – 107:51… there's, what happened in the pool house? Did you guys sleep in the pool? Yeah. How about the couch in the changing room? You guys, I wanted you to do on Apex Mountain just like high school movies. Oh man, I mean there are too many. It's impossible. I mean I think Dazed is still my Apex Mountain for high school movies. I don't think it's the Apex Mountain for high school movies, but I think it's probably the most influential of all of them. Yeah. Yeah. So it's basically like Dr. J. Yeah. Right. It set the tone. Yeah, and Dazed is Jordan. Yeah. So Dazed is number one in all of your books? To me. I'd have to …

the movie should have ended with Brad and Stacy's parents coming home from their 9-week vacation. Wait. We took the school year off? Yeah. Wait, there's, what happened in the pool house? Did you guys sleep in the pool? Yeah. How about the couch in the changing room? You guys, I wanted you to do on Apex Mountain just like high school movies. Oh man, I mean there are too many. It's impossible. I mean I think Dazed is still my Apex Mountain for high school movies. I don't think it's the Apex Mountain for high school movies, but I think it's probably the most influential of all of them. Yeah. Yeah. So it's basically like Dr. J. Yeah. Right. It set the tone. Yeah, and Dazed is Jordan. Yeah. So Dazed is number one in all of your books? To me. I'd have to think about it. I think Breakfast Club is really important. Dazed and Ferris Bueller, but Ferris Bueller is not really set in high school for the most part. Breakfast Club did the best job of hitting five specific types of people in high school and all of the ways life was affecting them in the mid-80s. I think the characters are a lot stronger in Breakfast Club. It goes deeper. Yeah. Just bare your head in the sand and wait for your fucking prom! That's it for the Rewatchables. Thanks to Craig Orobek. Thanks to Jack and Gahow as well. And don't forget about Ringer Movies' YouTube channel, which is humming these days. We're all working on it, and we'll see you next week.

If you're a fan of The Beekeeper, The Meg, or The Expendables, this is exactly the kind of movie you want to see Statham in. One of the defining action stars of the last 25 years, doing what he does best. Think Die Hard on a boat. Mutiny, only in theaters August 21st, rated R for strong, bloody violence and language.
