and then uh they made do we mention this they made the walking piano the note the walking piano up to that point was like half the size and they actually made a new one that then stated fio schwartz great ringer feature on the piano yeah way back what four years ago yeah yeah apex mountain so not tom hanks but 80s tom hanks i feel like there are three tom hanks like there's three mich there's four michael jordans there's been three lebrons okay and there's three tom hankses this doesn't undermine the entire concept of apex mountain i'm just saying i want you to think of tom hanks as three different human beings so then so then what you have is this is the apex of the ascension of tom hanks 90s tom hanks starts with league of their own and goes all the way through castaway yeah and then we have 21st century tom hanks it's not a mountain it's a mountain range michael jordan there was a 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 right lebron there's probably a 3.0 so then it depends on your level of success you get multiple apexes is what you're saying yeah when you become tom hanks or michael jordan there's no there's you have multiple apex mountains which apex are you on there's three mountains i'm on like 5.0 i'm still looking for my first yeah well um but i guess so but you know two oscars back to back though it's like this is your first apex mountain you're crushing it right now thank you yeah appreciate it this is great it's so nice to be along on the ride with you appreciate that but we got more good stuff coming this is your fucking mountain right here jesus christ mr holland's opus this is your opus mr holland yeah i got it um yeah i get it because like this this was kind of his huge big you know he needed this it was it wasn't 100 happening the way we all wanted to happen until this movie he goes on to become it's tom hanks's run is he the biggest movie star of all time i think he's the biggest modern movie star yeah i mean certainly i'm talking about just like just racking everything is off the chain 10 12 100 million bogart bogart has a pretty crazy run yeah go back most famous movie of all time show like that yeah okay no i'm with it but i look at guys like hanks and robin williams and then like the problem with hanks is he never had the like what are there seven eight of the great movies of all time i mean was never really in any of them he's never he's not he doesn't have a godfather he doesn't have a jaws he doesn't have toy story right but it's his voice so yeah so toy story might count so if we count toy story then that's it so that so that was the one he needed this is gonna sound stupid but you don't consider forrest gump to be just the way forrest gump had like an age where the oscars heard it for we talked about this when we did the pod the oscars made it like the dummies voted for forrest gump for the oscar and shawshank or pulp fiction should have won and in there there's a weird backlash that came from that i just can't remember a movie that had people in its clutches for it's it's an amazing movie we did that fantasy who as you know is a complete cyborg like an absolute ai artificial intelligence human being and he fucking loves forrest gump yeah like if you that movie if you can get fantasy with a movie like that you did a good job elizabeth perkins apex mountain absolutely sure yeah absolutely logya no i don't know what his apex mountain is but i think that the s brothers are probably involved the ds brothers maybe maybe uh maybe independence day oh yeah that was big logya a lot of people to logya is independence day general dude mr president yeah that is at the time it takes to kill an american city 37 hours it's gonna take the aliens 37 hours to destroy the world are we that stupid toy companies in a movie oh man wow is there a better toy company in a movie the mcmillan toys i feel like i feel like it's the peak oh my goodness playland is a movie location no you know why toy companies in the movie just me up i think that's true yeah i think it is true playland is a movie location the answer is no because the apex was a year before when glenn close took michael douglas's kid of course to playland grabbed her ass from school and brought her to playland for a day of amusement park stuff boiled the rabbit and then told her not to tell anyone alzheimer did you do that one with me yeah you did right it was me and wesley yeah god damn we've done a lot of rewatchable crazy you want to be in the re-fatal attraction i would love to that was a great one it was a great one uh body switch movies yeah probably but that i do think there's a freaky friday right like a freaky the remake of freaky friday the lindsey lohan one i think is is a pretty big deal it's certainly in the mount rushmore for body swap yeah definitely and 13 13 going on 30 is another one that i think has really got a lot of momentum i don't know if this can be considered traditional body swap yeah maybe it's not good point yeah because i mean swapping into another version of yourself is a sub-genre yeah that's true body swap yeah it's body swap how about mark castino jerseys it's never been better for the mark castino jerseys that whole era how about the 1988 subaru xta xt6 of susan's car very very kind of creepy kind of fit in with if you want to go down the road with susan kind of creepy missing milk
