It's not what you want. Bang! Here comes the telephone pole! Got it! And Rebecca, that head's rolling around the highway. Apex Mountain. Did you want to weigh in on that final call? What? In regulation last night? Oh, the... Well, he had... What was the final call? He had a financial interest in that. Yeah, but just the liberty. I mean... It was an absolute Vince McMahon, David Stern called in. It really was. Was it not? Yeah. Yeah. They were just... Collier had 23 shots and zero free throws and got hacked on the final shot. It was outrageous. Apex Mountain. A24? I would say probably everything, everywhere. Yeah, I agree. Agreed. Toni Collette? Yeah. I think that would probably be... I would say yes. What's... Hmm. I don't think I looked enough at her career. I mean, it's definitely up there. Is this the part that she will be remembered for? I would say Little Miss Sunshine only because it felt like that opened the door for a bunch of stuff for her. I think Little Miss Sunshine is a movie, personally, that I feel like has gotten kind of lost to time a little bit. And I think... I was just talking about what that did for her. Sure. Yeah. You know. I thought that was a really important movie for all the people in that. Carell. Carell. Paul Dano. She's been a part of some big movies. I mean, you know, she was a big part of Knives Out, too. You know, like, there's... It's tough. Oh, yeah. I forgot that. She's been pretty steady here for 25 years. She's always good. Yeah, 30 years. Apex Mountain for nut allergies. Oh, shit. I'm not prepared for that one. It's just like, they're so conscientious about Charlie's nut allergy until they're like, why don't you go to a party with your brother? How did Culkin die in... Bees. My girl. Bees. Oh, bees. Yeah. That's a very painful list. That would be a good list. Apex Mountain for child movie deaths. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I mean, this is definitely the height of child movie death, except maybe the kid in Jaws. Do you want to do that? Let's do that unanswerable question right now, if you don't mind. That allergy attack, that's Payman, right? That's not an allergy attack. That's Payman saying it's time. No, but they say later, the parent says, when the mom is making him feel bad, she says, you knew she was allergic. And isn't he like, you sent her with me? Like, what? Right? Yeah, when they're doing the fighting on each other. Yeah. But isn't, like, isn't Payman compelling her to go have the cake because he wants out? See, this is what I mean. It's time. That's what, yeah. I mean, also, it's like... Once you move into hell, you can make a, yeah, he's responsible for the peanut allergy. It's the same thing with, like, did the cult put the deer there? Same, yes. Great point. Because the cult obviously knew the telephone pole significance because it has the impression. That is, like, a real, like, a bunch of things have to happen the right way, but then you get into fate, you know? You know, Satan moves in mysterious ways. That's right. That's how you end up with Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback. I really feel like he's Payman. I feel like this is the final stage, like, the ultimate manifestation of this curse. We need to break it. If Aaron Rodgers showed up tomorrow with, like, nose padding on, would you be surprised? Does it end ultimately in him being decapitated on television by T.J. Watt? Mate, with your outfits of light, it might happen. The only other piece of internet research I had was that, oh, we already moved onto Apex Mountain. Give it to us anyway. One of Peter's friends is in the fucking cult. One of the guys he's smoking weed with under the bleachers winds up being in the cult. Oh, interesting. Like, we see him later? Yeah, it's just like the idea that they're, like, everything that they do is basically, like, the cult has their fingerprints on it. Huh. Beheading scenes? I had that, decapitations. I think it is Apex Mountain. What else is in the running? There's a really great one in Akira Kurosawa's Ron. That is a good one. How about Black Rain with Andy Garcia? There you go. I would say this one. This one has three. The telephone pole is the best one. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. The piano wire is gnarly. Also, I love that you can hear the head hitting the floor, even though the camera's on Peter. I like that. Alex Wolff, yes. Gabriel Byrne? No. Usual Suspects? Yeah. Miller's Crossing. Well, but Apex is... Somewhere in the 90s. Yeah. Dating Ellen Barkin. Evil Treehouses? That's about as bad as it goes for a treehouse. I'm trying to think of another evil treehouse. There's an evil treehouse in Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, in movie theaters right now. Yeah. Good Son's a good one. Discovering your dad's charred body and then deciding to make coffee first before you call the police? It's Apex Mountain for that. For me. Seance is no. Beheading yourself with piano wire, definitely. Utah? Probably the Jazz making the finals. Is it set in Utah? It's never explained. It's not explained. It's never explained. Yeah. This is going to be good. Cruise or Hanks? So remember, we can have either of these guys at any points of their career for this. I have Hanks as Steve. I think it's Hanks as Steve too. I agree. Can I give you young, early 80s, all-in-the-moves Cruise as Peter? Yes, you can do that. I think that's the answer. Craig, you'd be a tiebreaker. You can get an early 80s Tom Cruise as Hanks. It's a tiebreaker if we both said Hanks. Hanks. Hanks. There's three of us here. I think Hanks. I think it's Hanks. All right. Sorry, Bill. No, listen. I want Hanks to win every time. You're so competitive. I just want it for Hanks. I think he needs it. Yeah. Can you move the scale sliding on the timeline? For what? Can you go young Cruise and young Hanks? That's what he's doing. He's saying outsiders Cruise with Peter. But I'm saying is that part of the question every time? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Because sometimes there's not a part for those guys, so you have to get a little more creative. Right. Racehorse, rock band, wrestler, or fantasy team name? I'll give you Hereditary, just as a horse. King Payman. Mm-hmm. Or Eight Kings of Hell as a fantasy team name. What if you just named your racehorse Payman? I think... Would you be hard-pressed to not bet on that guy? Peter Payman would be a pretty good horse name. Or Payman. Peter Payman? Peter Payman. Is Payman an actual satanic name, or did they make it up for the movie? No, it's real. It's real, yeah. It's real in so much as they're a bunch of a cult. I like Hereditary as a horse name. Okay, Pick and Nits. I have a bunch of them, but why don't you guys go, and then I'll wait. Does Pete smoke too much weed? Hmm. It seems like they would be on top of that a little bit, maybe. I know legalization has swept the country, but he's smoking a lot of bulls, and I think it's affecting his judgment. He's smoking in his room, so they must know. His sister did get beheaded on his watch. Are you shaming him for smoking weed? I just think that it's almost weirdly this thing he does that keeps him in a haze. You wonder if Payman is sort of affecting him in that way. I couldn't tell if he's the school dealer, because his friends all seem to want to hang out with him to smoke a bull. That's a good point.
