and Equinox in Woodland Hills. So, they played all the hits. Yeah. I don't know where, where, what's that part of when you go over the hill? Laurel Canyon. I don't know why that Laurel Canyon wasn't worked into a scene. Yeah. But they hit everything else. All right, Apex Mountain. Apex Mountain. Gosling? I've thought about this a lot. 2011, this and Drive coming off a nice seven-year run and he's now established as an A-plus lister. It's tough. Ken is hard. Ken and Barbie. La La Land. For which he was nominated. La La Land, too. Yeah, but... And he sings and he's so good in it. It's tough. I would say, for me, their on-screen chemistry, obviously, and I think their relationship. I would say La La Land for him after a lot of thought. I would probably say La La Land because... Because it felt like after that movie, he could make whatever movie. Barbie was almost like to read, but I would say La La Land, but the combination of this and Drive... It's pretty good. Yeah, it's tough. It's a good... I've always had this theory about when they do the Oscars, they have an MVP, like Drake May versus Matt Stafford, and we do the MVP and it has to be two movies or more that are really good. And if they just... They just gave a special little award. This is my thing on Coach of the Year is everybody always rewards the one-year turnaround. I voted for Mike McDonald because I was like... This was a... He went from a bottom five defense to the best defense in the NFL in two years. Celebrate that accomplishment. So, like, two-year Coach of the Year, almost. Well, just... They're always like... Every year, it's just who... The wind job. Yeah, who turned it around. I like that because sometimes, like, the Jim Carrey's the most famous. We talked about this when... In 94, he was the three comedies all in one year. He would just give him, like, the Oscars MVP for best whatever. Emma Stone, no. Not sure what it is for her. It's probably also La La Land. Probably also La La Land, yeah. Julianne Moore, it's somewhere in the 90s, late 90s, post Boogie Nights. It's definitely earlier. She's good in this. Singles bars in 21st century movies? Yeah. Oh! Because the singles bars kind of die as a movie location as we get into the 2020s post-COVID. Especially, like, a place that orients the whole movie? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. This would be... I'm trying to think of anything. Is there anything else? No. This would be it. Correll, it's got to be mid-2000s. The Office. When he's in the office. He's still on The Office. No, but it's got The Office with Little Miss Sunshine. He's just come off 40-Year-Old Virgin ! And Anchorman. It's got to be that. Yeah, because he goes... He gets an Oscar nomination out of that, doesn't he, for Little Miss Sunshine? Yeah. Did he get it? So he becomes, like, a legitimately... Characters jumping out of a car. It's this. Not Lady Bird because they ripped it off. Vodka cranberries as an actual plot device in a movie?
