at $84,500 back in the day. Custom handmade cars built on the Buick LeSabre, Pontiac, Bonneville, or Oldsmobile 88 Royal Platform. They are now worth about $300,000. Yeah. Apex Mountain. Keaton, no. Although this is his funniest performance in a movie. It's not Apex Mountain, but he definitely goes up like a few thousand feet in the first movie he's in. He's just scaling the walls. Yeah. You can't believe how high he climbed up the mountain. You're like, holy shit, man. You've never done even like a mountain in New Hampshire before? You're climbing Everest? Winkler, no. Shelley Long, no, but we're getting close. Yeah. Second year Cheers combined with a reconcilable differences coming out. It felt like she was going to be like an A-plus actress, A-plus lister. Ron Howard, no. Barney Rubble, no. No. Idea Men? You know, it's the time. It's like this is the 80s, early 80s New York. The streets were paved with gold. It's all out there. It's all out there. You just got to grab it. Prostitute comedies? No, I mean it's... No. Risky Business. Risky Business. Although I think this is funnier than Risky Business. Risky Business is more successful. Yeah. I do think you're right that it's funnier though. What do you have? Morgs? I was going to say Morticians and I wasn't sure if it was this or Six Feet Under. Six Feet Under. Yeah. Jumping Jack Flash? No. Okay. It's not even Apex Mountain for That's What Friends Are For. No. No. This is the easiest cruiser Hanks we've ever had. It's so clearly Hanks. It's just Hanks. I also really would have enjoyed watching like 1988 Tom Cruise trying to be Billy Blaze Jowski. Be like, I need to do a comedy and just really going for it. Can you imagine? But Hanks, definitely. Racehorse, rock band, wrestler, fantasy team names. I have Blazeland USA. Yeah. Or Billy's Blazes. Something with Billy Blaze. Okay. Pick and Nets. Yeah. So none of our girls are addicted to drugs or anything bad in any way? Clean living. Yeah. It's a nit. Although, also, can I ask, this is a little bit of an unanswerable question, but I just have to ask because you just brought it up. Billy's just coked out of his mind the entire time, right? I had that in unanswerables. It feels like he's coked up to the gills in every single scene. Yeah. It makes more sense. It's like when whoever told us that Vincent Hanna was on cocaine and heat and it was like, oh, I should have guessed it. Maybe, maybe we should have the Vincent Hanna Award for a drug addiction explains this entire character or an unmentioned drug addiction explains this entire character. Yeah. That's good. Nobody ever dies in this morgue? So I, that's the, this is the biggest nit I have. We're in Times Square? It's New York City and they're like the night shift you can just get some reading done and it's like, that's when all the bodies would be piling up, man. Yeah. It's 1982 in New York. Yeah, and every other New York movie at the time, people are just dying left and right. There's vigilante movies, everything's going on. So they get caught and then they just get their jobs back because the city finds it too embarrassing. It would be a political embarrassing. I know. It's a very, it's a very convoluted. That is definitely a what? the girlfriend just disappears for the second half of the movie, Chuck's girlfriend. No questions asked from her. That relationship just goes out the window which makes, you know, you wonder, did we need those extra two scenes with the girlfriend if we were just going to dump her halfway through the movie? It would have been an easy cut. It is funny to, the Thanksgiving scene is funny and like getting all like when Charlotte's mother almost has a heart attack at court is pretty, pretty cracks me up a lot. Yeah. I maybe would have stayed at the Christmas party with the girls longer because I think that's getting pretty rowdy.
