Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
26:48 – 29:34… dancing around the idea of an actor's appearance, just lean into it with a new category called the Mila Kunis and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Appearance Apex Mountain Award. For, is this the most attractive this person has ever been in a movie? And to keep it equitable, you can do the male equivalent too. Harrison Ford to witness, as you talked about. Depending on the thing. So, I think this is a good one to break this out. That equality shit. Look, this is one of the things. I'm sick of this dumb ass shit. This is one of the things that I most have. Why are you pointing at Craig? Because it's the... Took …

It was for the Rewatchables mailbag. And he started out, this one will be seconded by Craig. He just immediately wanted Craig's approval. And it was. Instead of sometimes dancing around the idea of an actor's appearance, just lean into it with a new category called the Mila Kunis and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Appearance Apex Mountain Award. For, is this the most attractive this person has ever been in a movie? And to keep it equitable, you can do the male equivalent too. Harrison Ford to witness, as you talked about. Depending on the thing. So, I think this is a good one to break this out. That equality shit. Look, this is one of the things. I'm sick of this dumb ass shit. This is one of the things that I most have. Why are you pointing at Craig? Because it's the... Took the glasses off. I'll tell you what. This is the thing I have most beef with your fucking generation about. Okay. Remember when... I never forgot this. Remember a long time ago, you talked about the fact that there were just breasts in the movie for no reason. I think it was Trading Places. Trading Places. Okay. Or maybe like a lethal weapon. No, it was... Unnecessary nudity. But there's no such thing as unnecessary nudity. All nudity is necessary. Hotness is a thing. Tell that to Will Gluck. Yeah, the Monica Barbera director. What movie is that? One Night Only? One Night Only, yeah. I think that guy's just trying to drive up director's cut sales. By the way, that got passed around for three days. That was a great quote by him. I'll tell you something. And now we're all waiting on the unrated edition. Swordfish. I went to see Swordfish. For Travolta. Shut up. I went to see Swordfish because Halle Berry was at her most powerful physical form in Swordfish. And for other reasons too, right? I went to see Halle Berry, Topless, and Swordfish. That was a selling point of the movie. Heaven's Prisoners, Terry Hatcher was another one. Same shit. Jacko and I would see that together. I told that story. That to me is a... I spilled popcorn right before the nude scene. You still mad about it. You did extra butter. We could get into it. But that to me is a completely... To see beautiful people on screen and to recognize that they're beautiful is a completely legitimate reason to go see the movie. This movie starts with her in bed wearing a t-shirt and the phone rings and she wakes up and rolls over and says, dad, and then it's just like, yeah. I don't disagree with you. We're off. And over the last three years of doing Rewatchables, now in an 80s movie and there's not nudity, I'm like, what the fuck? Yeah. But this is just vision quest. That's just like what we're doing. I don't really understand this at all. Just wait until about last night. The one night only thing, it's honestly not even my... It was even the generation below me. Will Gluck was like, we test screened it and Gen Z doesn't feel comfortable seeing nudity in a movie theater. Which is crazy to me. I get it. But why should we give a fuck? These are the same group of people who won't go to a bar and talk to each other and then leave and have sex. Why would we... We used to do that and we had fun doing it. Why are we taking social cues and fucking advice and input from them?
90:55 – 93:41… a ton here other than. The Norton stuff. The Norton stuff. The stunts. There's a fuck ton of Mini Cooper stuff that you just kind of glaze over after a while. Apex Mountain. Coopers. Probably nobody in this movie really. Except for maybe Seth Green. This might have been the peak for Seth Green. You're looking at me like. I mean. I'm not his defense attorney. You're a people. It's not Austin Powers. It's after Austin Powers. After the third one. He's one of the leads in an Italian job, basically. And I feel like this is. Yeah. Like this was his shot of the last run. Big boy. Yeah. This is. Maybe it was the last …

Doesn't that make fucking sense? Sure. Yeah. I guess. Yeah. Half-fester in research. Not a ton here other than. The Norton stuff. The Norton stuff. The stunts. There's a fuck ton of Mini Cooper stuff that you just kind of glaze over after a while. Apex Mountain. Coopers. Probably nobody in this movie really. Except for maybe Seth Green. This might have been the peak for Seth Green. You're looking at me like. I mean. I'm not his defense attorney. You're a people. It's not Austin Powers. It's after Austin Powers. After the third one. He's one of the leads in an Italian job, basically. And I feel like this is. Yeah. Like this was his shot of the last run. Big boy. Yeah. This is. Maybe it was the last Austin Powers. Nothing really else except for Mini Coopers, I don't think. You know what's funny? How about Venice scenes? Is 03 21st century apex for Los Angeles? So I was thinking for the Hollywood area. It might be. That's when Kimmel Show relaunched there. And. It goes all the way. They're spending money. And they're really trying to restore it. And make it a place you go. And the man theater they spent money on. And they built a new mall. Arclight's cranking. Arclight. It goes all the way to the end of like Entourage. You know what the. And Katsuya goes in on the corner of. Katsuya goes in. Sunset and Vine. And it became like the place for two years. And then Sunset. Every little part of Hollywood has its own deal. Sunset and Vine has its deal. Then right there the corner of Fairfax. Not Fairfax. The corner of La Brea. It really ended when the ringer moved into Sunset Gower in 2016. No we had a nice couple of years there. No but I'm saying that was the beginning and the end. For the entire area. We took out Hollywood. Yeah. Getting chased by hobos in the Gulch. Kevin Clark got run over by a car. Now we're Gulch. It's a big deal. I think Hollywood's coming back. I hope so. I think Hollywood's coming back. David Ellison's going to save it. Cruz or Hanks? You could do both. You could have Chachetti. You could have Cruz play Charlie. I think Cruz could have been Wahlberg really easily. You would have loved the driving. I think Cruz in the Edward Norton role. Evil Cruz? Evil Cruz. Mustache Cruz. Evil Cruz in collateral. Yeah. What else? That's it? Think about this movie with Cruz in the Edward Norton role. And then Leo. He would have tried harder. I'll tell you that much. Yeah. And Leo. Picket Knits. Just Charlize pretending to be a cable repair person. That's ludicrous. They figure out the right Brinks truck in the Hollywood chase scene. Yeah. Based on tire size. Because Seth Green apparently has some incredible computer program. And he measures the tires. And one of the tires we love. They have set that up. Way down the car. He keeps telling them it's this wide. It's this tall. What if that car just had less air in the tires?
