Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
81:26 – 90:07… like, 14 hours to shoot because he kept flubbing the takes. And she said, I hear it in my sleep sometimes. Woman. Woman. Hold on. I got to do that again. Apex Mountain. Mike Myers now. I'm going to say yes for Nancy Travis with this and The Vanishing at the same time. I felt like, I thought her career was going to keep going up. She went into TV instead. I feel like she probably did pretty well on Becker. Oh, yeah. Like, 20 million people were watching Becker every week. It's kind of crazy. Did you watch one minute of Becker? No, never. Do you know what the plot of Becker was? Becker was a newspaper …

And then an eyewitness said that Myers doing the woman poem took, like, 14 hours to shoot because he kept flubbing the takes. And she said, I hear it in my sleep sometimes. Woman. Woman. Hold on. I got to do that again. Apex Mountain. Mike Myers now. I'm going to say yes for Nancy Travis with this and The Vanishing at the same time. I felt like, I thought her career was going to keep going up. She went into TV instead. I feel like she probably did pretty well on Becker. Oh, yeah. Like, 20 million people were watching Becker every week. It's kind of crazy. Did you watch one minute of Becker? No, never. Do you know what the plot of Becker was? Becker was a newspaper editor? I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. He was a hat maker. I love Ted Danson, but I was like, we had such a good deal with Sam Malone, I'm out. Dr. John Becker is easily annoyed. He was a doctor. Yeah. By noisy neighbors, a ridiculous comment, a flickering streetlight. He's a talented and dedicated doctor and goes the extra mile for those in need, but he doesn't waste a chance to give anyone a piece of his mind. Oh, he's a cantankerous doctor. Dr. Becker. Oh, yeah. I'm just looking at the Shawnee Smith. Yeah. From the Saw films. It went from 98 to 2004. Yeah. Shawnee Smith. My mom, my wife's mom came over like a week and a half ago because we were gone for a while and she came over with her dog to hang out with our dogs for a few hours. And I was like, do you want me to put something on TV for you? And she said, no. I was like, no, I'll put something on. You're like, you're going to be here for like two hours because she was waiting for somebody. She's like, can you put on the Golden Girls? So I'm like, I can absolutely do that. She's 83. So found Golden Girls on Hulu. I'm like, what season? Like one of the earlier seasons? She's like, yeah. So we put in the first episode of season two. Blanche was pregnant. What? Blanche got pregnant. Rue McClanahan's character. The character is pregnant? The character was pregnant. And that was, and I put that on and I left. And I don't know what happened to Blanche. But it made me think like this. There's no way she was actually pregnant. It was the first episode of season two. Well, that's one of the things about the Golden Girls. First of all, I like the Golden Girls. Me too. It's actually really funny. It's a really funny show. I was laughing. Dorothy and Blanche are on the younger side of retirement. What, like 59? What are we talking about? I had no idea that Blanche was pregnant. I don't know if that's. Blanche was apparently like the harlot of the group. She was. So it was like, oh man, Blanche is doing it again. She's getting around, yeah. Still, Getty was not getting it in. The show was like. Apparently. Yeah. But I'm not kidding when I say I never had seen a single minute of it before. And I was just kind of like. You've never seen the show before? Never, never. Get the fuck out of here. You never watched the Golden Girls? Never. That's a rare blind spot for you. Because I feel like you're really up on all. That show was a huge show. And it was good. I know. I just. Craig, you ever seen the Golden Girls? No. That's funny. You should do like a 400 episode Golden Girls rewatch. With Karis Bob. Were you into Maud? Like, do you have any Bea Arthur stock? Didn't watch Maud. Wow. Wow. That's a big blind spot for you. My biggest Bea Arthur, you know, connection is Jeff Ross saying I wouldn't fuck with Bea Arthur's dick at the roast, which is, that's how I always think of Bea Arthur now. The funniest roast joke of all time. Apex Mountain for Scottish people? I was going to say Scotland. It's an incredible run here. We go, 1991 Teenage Fan Club releases bandwagon-esque. Yeah. We got Scotland making the Euros for the first time in 92. Axe Murderer, Braveheart in 95, and Trainspotting in 96. What a run. Incredible. The 90s belong to Scotland. Incredible. And somehow we skipped going, you and me. We mentioned, I truly think that the early 90s, right around now, is pre-Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Apex Mountain. This was like the best fucking time to go to San Francisco. I loved going. I loved seeing my friends there. It was the most fun. The maroon Volkswagen Carmen Ghia convertible that he had. I don't know what year that was, but. Is that Quentin's car too? Is that the Till Bill car? I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. That's a really cool car. Yeah. Nice one. How about Haggis? Apex Mountain for Haggis? Probably. Never seen that in another movie. Definitely where I learned about Haggis. Did you ever have a car where, like, if it started, was kind of like up for debate every single time? Yeah. The fucking Saab Turbo. Yeah. Crooks. Do you miss it? I hate Saab. That's the reason that company went under. The worst car company of all time. It was Crooks. Oh, they were. They were Crooks. Yeah. Why were they Crooks? Because they made bad cars. I just, I was just reading in a novel that was set in the 70s, and this guy, it's like three pages of this guy trying to get his car started. I don't, I never think about that anymore. It's amazing. Yeah. And I was like, this is so weird. You just press a button and everything starts. Right. But like, back then, my dad used to have to, like, pump the gas five times. Yeah. Do the lock three times. Yeah. And then pray, and then turn the key. I've told you that. I drove a 1980 Buick Regal to high school. Yeah. For a year. Yeah. And this is, every morning was an adventure. Truly. My dad had an Audi in the 70s that was, same thing. It was like, oh, it started. Yeah. It was like one of those. It was like real drama. It was like real drama. Yeah. Yeah. Because you'd have like one German guy in town could do it. Yeah. We hated Audi. We thought Audi was never, and then Audi made this huge comeback. Audis are great now. I've had an Audi. They were not great in the 70s. I wish, I liked, aesthetically, I really liked Saab's. Like, to look at. Yeah. That was how they hooked you in. Like, doesn't this car look nice? I'm like, yeah, it does. And it's cheaper than BMW. Kind of the Nancy Travis of cars, you know? And then all of a sudden, tax murder. Crooks. Hey, go find a Saab now. You can't. Weekly World News. I think this is Apex Mountain for the Weekly World News. Never seen it used better in a movie. Okay. I'll go with that. The Paglia? Probably the TV show. Pregnant Man Gives Birth. These are facts. How about McEwen's Export Beer? Yeah, I think that was probably creative. Eight Bottles? You don't think that was a real beer? The movie? Oh, yeah. I don't know. I'm not sure. I've never heard of it. Scottish Weddings? Apex Mountain? Hmm. I feel like there's got to be another memorable moment with men in kilts. Oh, McEwen's is real. My bad. The Caldonian Brewing Company. Shout out to them. That's great. Chris taking more shots at the Scots. Why don't you just get educated? You know, get over there, get educated. You spend plenty of time in the UK. How about beat poetry in movies? Woman! I mean, yeah. Did you ever go see live poetry in your life? I have, yes. But not with the intention of seeing live poetry. With the intention of just being out. Do you think you and I have a close enough relationship that if I was like, Sean, I'm going to read a poem tonight at a cafe, would you come? I wouldn't come. No, I wouldn't come. I would ask. I'd be so mortified. Would you be like, I have to watch Reptile for a third time? I would only go if Phoebe went. She would not go. Because I want to see Phoebe watch you read poetry. No. Have you ever read poetry to a woman? No. No. But you have. No, I haven't. I've read a short. I've read fiction to a woman. Fiction? But not my own. What did you read? I think I read, uh, like. Silence of the Lambs? I read Heat 2. The Exorcist. I was like, this is where Shea Herlis goes. Craig, did you ever read poetry to a woman? No, I have not. Yeah. Never done beat poetry? No. Okay. I don't have any relationship with beat poetry. Slam poetry? No. Slam poetry was what was big when I was in college. Yeah. Slam poetry at a moment. Yeah. Picking nits. We mentioned Charlie not having a job. The dad says soccer instead of football. I was a little taken aback. Complete bullshit. Yeah, he would say football. What's that about? That was a Myers mistake. What do you mean? It was a, you think that that was a studio note to, so the audience is going to understand? Well, he's Canadian, so I wonder if they're just like soccer. I think he just fucked it up. Yeah. But like, he's just like, the soccer's on. I don't know. Okay. Who makes someone a health shake as a surprise? I would just assume my wife was trying to kill me. A lot of her stuff is weird. He has reason to be suspicious. She's super weird. Her health shake also looks like Kool-Aid. Yeah. Like, it doesn't look like a, like it went into a juice tiger. It's also like weird, like there's like multiple jokes about making healthy drinks. Like, you know, Brenda Flicker's got like the juice. Yeah. The juice tiger, yeah. I, along that point, like from a pick and knit, like she's fucking weird. I know she's hot, but Jesus. Like, she's talking about murdering on the first date. She's like, what do you mean?
