Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
51:43 – 55:09… CTE from those kegs. Probably. I can't even imagine how disgusting those taps were. Yeah. It's amazing that we'd end up in the hospital more often. Jesus. Apex Mountain. I guess the Sprouse twins, I'm going to throw them in, coming off Friends in this movie. Things are really looking up. They get a Disney show. You could talk me into Sandler for Apex Mountain here.

but it was like $2 cheaper than bottles. I mean, the headaches really started while we were drinking. I feel like we might have CTE from those kegs. Probably. I can't even imagine how disgusting those taps were. Yeah. It's amazing that we'd end up in the hospital more often. Jesus. Apex Mountain. I guess the Sprouse twins, I'm going to throw them in, coming off Friends in this movie. Things are really looking up. They get a Disney show. You could talk me into Sandler for Apex Mountain here. Huh. Why? Because this is the biggest movie he made. At that time. It allows him to launch his own company. He's now had five hits in a row, comedy hits. He is an A-plus-less comic actor. And there's just no question he's going to make a multi-billion dollar slate of comedy movies at this point. It's incredible. I'm going to agree. I'm going to say Apex Mountain. I'm going to agree with you. And it was such a shitty movie. It is a shitty movie. I liked it. Craig liked it. I like it. I love that movie. Yeah, Kyle loves it. I think you're just an old fart. New category. The Christy Swanson Award for most predictably borrowed 80s movie trope. This goes back to the Stripes thing. This was an 80s movie trope of the kind of lovable loser guy who overachieved with his girlfriend who realizes he's a loser and sets the tone early on like you're a loser. Usually moves out, has sex with somebody. Body double, I remember with the Brian De Palma movie. He's a loser actor. He comes home. His wife's just riding some dude in the bedroom. This was over and over again a theme in the 80s and it's a callback with that character. Yeah. As soon as you see her for a split second, you're like, oh, I know what this, I know what's going to happen. Right. She's going to tell him to grow up. She's going to get her shit together. She's probably cheating on him. We've been here before. The Joe Pantaleone Award for best that guy. It's probably Mr. Hurley. I don't even know what his name is, but I will say Joseph Bologna is in this movie. Oh, yeah. He's definitely one of those guys. We know him as Joe Bologna, but I think probably Craig's generation probably doesn't know who that is. He's the defense attorney. I mean, the attorney for the state. Yes. Right. I want to make sure I got it right. Would this movie have been better with Steve Buscemi, Danny Trejo, Michael K. Williams? We have Steve Buscemi. He's in it. The category has been canceled. The Saul Rubinick They Knew Award for best overacting. I got to say, sorry, Adam Sandler. Your acting after social services takes your kid away is really bad. It's incredible. It's really like a really bad two minutes where he's like kind of upset. And it's just, I maybe would have done a second take on that one. This is the whole point of why this movie is absurd and why using the storyline of a five-year-old child as the vehicle for this relationship maturity thing is so dead wrong. There's no resonance whatsoever. No emotional resonance. You're just an old fart. I mean, the five-year-old whose mother is dead is now living with a moron and he knows that Sandler's a moron and, you know, they have some laughs together and then the jig is up and the kid's like, oh, I was kind of having fun here and Sandler's like, well, I can't give you any promises, but he may not see you again.
