Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
48:19 – 51:05… right now. Just a little silence of the lambs right there. Um, young Adam Brody? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Speaking of most 2005 movie. Oh, yeah. Well, he's coming up in Apex Mountain. Yeah. This is the most Adam Brody-ish time we've ever had. I have the weapons stove and just the concept of having something in the kitchen that you press a button and all of a sudden it's all these weapons that you have access to. Wish they, wish Home Depot sold that. Can't get that at Home Depot. Black Friday sale? Send you a link. Yeah. I like the Jesus Rocks track shoots, track shoots, suits. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't speak that …

they both have like those distinct mouths and they're doing scenes where it's like, oh, we're having a mouth off right now. Just a little silence of the lambs right there. Um, young Adam Brody? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Speaking of most 2005 movie. Oh, yeah. Well, he's coming up in Apex Mountain. Yeah. This is the most Adam Brody-ish time we've ever had. I have the weapons stove and just the concept of having something in the kitchen that you press a button and all of a sudden it's all these weapons that you have access to. Wish they, wish Home Depot sold that. Can't get that at Home Depot. Black Friday sale? Send you a link. Yeah. I like the Jesus Rocks track shoots, track shoots, suits. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't speak that they're both wearing. I thought those were funny. Um, the Michelle Monaghan cameo. Cameo, yeah. How about that? You know, I was just like. It had to be one of her first movies, right? I, I think so. She wasn't in any of the M.I. I mean, like, it's just one scene, but I, I, is she, she wasn't famous yet, right? No, it's before the Mission Impossible. And Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and everything, right? Yeah. It's before Maid of Honor. Anyone else remember that? Anyone? I remember that. Okay. Come on, who are you talking to? I know. Stop. What stage is the best? The Lyman-Vince Vaughn reunion? Yeah. Well, man, a little more in 05, but still, still kind of enjoying it. And then, uh, I just had in general this mid-2000s Vince Vaughn-a-sance that we were having. Right. Where we had, uh, old school, then that goes in the dodgeball, but then he's in this, and he just, he's in the, Vince Vaughn was in the mix there for a couple years. Yeah, he, Oh, go ahead. No, no, no, no. You, you talk about the movies and then I'll do the extracurricular stuff. I was just gonna say that, that, that was supposed to be a bit part, uh, Eddie was just supposed to be in like a scene or something. And it needed a cameo and then they expanded it. Yeah. Well, and then. Well, we did all the Aniston stuff, except we didn't note how during the summer of 2005, when this movie was released, Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston were also romantically involved. To what extent still remains unclear? I have some, whatever you want to share. Dubuity on this. Yeah. Dubuity? Yeah, dubiousness. Okay. Dubuity. I made up the word. Sure. Some dubuity on this. Right. So you think that she concocted this Vince thing? I don't think there was a concocting. I think maybe they were hanging out, but I also think it really helped. And they were also filming the breakup. It really helped the movie they were filming. Yeah. I just was a little suspect because I don't see those two people together for any reason. Well. So. Okay. Um. The Kid Cudi Pursuit of Happiness Award for Best Needle Drop. I have the version of Lay Lady Lay. I have that as well. Okay. Yeah. I actually thought that sounded good.
82:33 – 86:49… Yeah. Doug, your lips are moving again, Doug. Words are coming out of your mouth. Yeah. Anyway, that was Angelina. Good little story from the set. Yeah. Apex Mountain. I think yes for both of them. I think you could say yes for 21st century celebrity culture. Yes, I agree with that and I think you can say yes for her. For him, he has a pretty great run through Moneyball. Well, he uses this to, this is, he becomes like probably the most famous actor in the world. Mm-hmm. so I would say yes, but you could also say Moneyball. There's a couple other arguments, but I, I think it is for both of them. Vince …

thanks so much Doug. Doug quote. Yeah. Doug, your lips are moving again, Doug. Words are coming out of your mouth. Yeah. Anyway, that was Angelina. Good little story from the set. Yeah. Apex Mountain. I think yes for both of them. I think you could say yes for 21st century celebrity culture. Yes, I agree with that and I think you can say yes for her. For him, he has a pretty great run through Moneyball. Well, he uses this to, this is, he becomes like probably the most famous actor in the world. Mm-hmm. so I would say yes, but you could also say Moneyball. There's a couple other arguments, but I, I think it is for both of them. Vince Vaughn, no. Fighting spy couples? I guess so, but I certainly would not say it was the case for Assassins or Yeah. Hitmen. Doug Liman, probably born. Yeah. Yeah. Although another, another absolutely outrageous behind the scenes story. Adam Brody, you could almost rename Apex Mountain after him because this is season one of OC and this coming out at the same time. Like, you're just like, this is when I wrote I thought it could be the next Tom Hanks. I still, I stand by it. He was really good in the River Wild remake. Yeah. Marriage counseling movies? Um, I'm trying to think. I'm going to say no, but I also can't come up with the right answer. And then, um, this is the big one. Rarely do we have big Apex Mountain questions, but is this Apex Mountain for on-set romances? Oh. Because I would say it's still probably Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. And we, again, we weren't allowed back then, but that seemed like the biggest thing other than the JFK assassination. Right, that ever happened. Yeah, it was just like. And it happened, you know, they broke up, they divorced, they got back together. It just sounded amazing. Right. Um, I think it's this one. At least for this modern era, this century, 21st century. Although allegedly didn't, you know, get consummated on set. Yeah. Doug's quote makes me think, you know. Pickin' nits. Um, there's just a lot of bullets flying. And nobody's hitting them ever. Yeah. No, it's true. Especially the last scene. I don't, they're in the middle of like basically a giant Home Depot and there's 70 assassins. And they're just kind of turning around, doing tricks. Yeah. Doesn't add up. It's a little First Blood part two. Kind of. Nobody's hitting them with one bullet? No? I mean, no, agree. Okay. Um, the Bogota Hotel Lobby, which seems like it's, we're in this sweltering location. And apparently, it's like 9,000 feet above sea level. Oh, okay. And there's no way it's warm like that. Oh, I see. Okay. It's absolutely, apparently absolutely absurd that that, they make it seem like they're in like Cuba. Yeah, they do. You like them on Hitokris? Yeah. Any other, any other nitpicks? Let's hear them. I mean, I just think that, like, the bones of, like, other versions of the script popping out here and there. So, like, Keith David is in one shot. He's Angelina's boss, I think? Or is he, no, he's Brad Pitt's boss. I got excited when I saw him and then that was it. I think Angela Bassett is the voice of Brad Pitt's boss. And Keith David. And then Keith David is father. Yes. The boss. Which seems to have, like, a whole thing, but they've cut it out. And I think, personally, for me, as a stickler for, for facts when it comes to different intelligence agencies, I just would have loved a little bit more on who runs the I-team and who Brad Pitt works for, who they're killing. Do they feel bad about it ever? Is there a moral compunction about murdering people? And. All great questions. That's it. There's, like, three other movies in this movie and I'm really interested in all the other movies. It's also, I would watch all of them. Yeah. Yeah. The I-team is such a movie. Even them, honestly, it would be kind of amazing
