Apex Mountains, Stallone, no. Leota, no. James Mangold, no. Rapaport, he can make a case. He's, you know, like Zebrahead. No, but then he's this now, he's true romance. He's done Beautiful Girls. It's Beautiful Girls and this movie right around the same time. He's had five years of work now. He did my favorite, the Nick Cage movie. Which one? Kiss of Death. Oh, yeah. I forgot he was in that.

The whole segment, as transcribed
Freddie and Gary are bringing in Murray Babbage to the New York City authorities. We see Mo Tilden come into the building and his mustache is noticeably longer because he was filming Jackie Brown and couldn't shave the mustache. So you can look for that next time you watch it. Apex Mountains, Stallone, no. Leota, no. James Mangold, no. Rapaport, he can make a case. He's, you know, like Zebrahead. No, but then he's this now, he's true romance. He's done Beautiful Girls. It's Beautiful Girls and this movie right around the same time. He's had five years of work now. He did my favorite, the Nick Cage movie. Which one? Kiss of Death. Oh, yeah. I forgot he was in that. I hate the taste of metal in my mouth. I don't know. It's around here for Rapaport. I would say Beautiful Girls. Okay. That's the year before. Yeah. How about Just About to Sell Out De Niro? Would you go this? So Apex Mountain of pre-sellout De Niro but post-Golden Age De Niro. Yeah. Like I said, I mean, he made five movies. I gotta say, I mean, it's too close to heat. Five movies in 1997. What were the other two? Because Wag the Dog, Jackie Brown, Copland. Boy, oh boy. I think he did Rocky and Bullwinkle, I think was one of them. I think it's a year later. I think it's a year later. I could be wrong. I gotta look this up. Yeah, he's got three in 97. Oh, so I was wrong. He's got three in 96, or excuse me, three in 95, Casino Heat, and 101 Nights, which I've never seen. It's an Agnes Varda movie. He's got three in 96, The Fan, Sleepers, and Marvin's Room, three in 97, Copland, Jackie Brown, Wag the Dog, and then, Great Expectations, eh? Yeah. Ronan, great. Oh my god. And then, the skeleton key is Analyze This, because when Analyze This blows up, he's like, oh, comedy. That is easier, and more lucrative. When does he invest in Nobu? I don't know. He's already got that at that point. Well, I'm saying that's, when you start having to service that kind of debt, you know, I know this personally, you know? Do you own an internationally acclaimed sushi joint? Noah Emmerich, coming off Beautiful Girls, right before Truman Show? Mm-hmm. I think Truman Show is his Apex Man. How about pre-Sopranos, Jersey Cop Scumbags, Sean? Wait, Noah Emmerich's Apex Man is The Americans. I don't want to get that twisted. You can watch The Americans, I don't think. What do you think, Chris? Yeah, I guess so. Truman Show is a pretty big movie that made a lot of money. He's very, very, very good in Pride and Glory, but that's essentially the same movie as this. Okay, I'm sorry, you were making a good, what was the? Pre-Sopranos, Jersey Cop Scumbags, Apex Mountain. Jersey Cop Scumbags. I don't know if I can think of another movie that was set in Jersey. That's why that's the winner. Yeah, that sounds good. That's all I got, unless you have any other Apex Man. It's not really the Apex Man for anybody. This is a new category that I'm very excited about. Best racehorse name from the movie. This is easy. Superboy, right? Superboy. Yeah. Superboy's a great, great, great. I can't wait until Bob Baffert makes his comeback with Superboy at the Preakness. Yeah, I wrote down Superboy. Picking Nits. Would Superboy have really shot those guys on the bridge that easily and murdered both of them in a car that was going really fast? I think he also hits them with his car. You think that was part of it? Yeah, because they show up and they're like, these guys have been shot six times. What are you talking about? When the EMTs are like, this isn't a car accident. These guys get shot six times. But I think they thought it was a car accident. Picking Nits. Sean, why was Pete Berg fighting a crazy criminal Hagler Hearn style on a seven-story roof with rounds and trainers and what was going on on the roof? Very confusing. I have no idea. Well, the shot opens with that, you know, that panning shot of his partner who's kind of down and calling over the radio and they're making it seem like they're battling like Thanos. Like a comic book villain. Yeah, exactly. It's like the true lies. He's just like, he's a criminal on the streets. It's weird. Do you guys think Ray thinks if I save him, I save him. If I don't, I don't the whole time? Yes. Okay. Well, I had this as picking this too. Was it obvious enough that Ray didn't save Pete Berg because he was having an affair with Ray's wife? Which I guess was intimated, but... No, it's because he's like at the bar. He's like, is this something more personal? But Annabelle's Hura's character was like, why don't you go fuck Rose? Go down the street and fuck Rose. He knows. Ray knows. Yeah, Ray knows. Yeah. But I don't know, is that obvious when you're watching it? Would you think Craig knew? No, yeah. You knew? Okay. Don't insult Craig's intelligence. Sorry, Craig. He's a very observant guy. This is my big one other than the ones we mentioned. So the evil corrections officer just happens to be on the cover of the Daily News after the murder with the just insane look on his face. Like he's just been caught at the end of Scooby-Doo. He's just there on the cover. Gotcha. Yeah. It's a great point. Any other pick of nits? No, I mean, we went through all of the Superboy hiding him. I have a couple. Superboy also just really bad fugitive. Like, can't stay under the blanket and immediately sticks his head
