Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
65:07 – 71:13… date there. That's all I have for Half-Essing and Research, unless you had anything else. No, I did. I mean, all of the gossip. Yeah. It just was wonderful. Apex Mountain. Murray, obviously not. But if we go older Murray, I think there's a combo. What's younger Murray? What is his Apex Mountain then? It's either Stripes or Ghostbusters. It's probably Ghostbusters. I mean, that would make sense to me. Ghostbusters was an absolute phenomenon and became one of the defining movies of the 80s. They're still making them for some reason. For some reason. Scarlet? No, I don't think so. Could you say it's the best …

fantasy football when you guys do a live show there in Tokyo. Yeah. Try to get you a foursome date there. That's all I have for Half-Essing and Research, unless you had anything else. No, I did. I mean, all of the gossip. Yeah. It just was wonderful. Apex Mountain. Murray, obviously not. But if we go older Murray, I think there's a combo. What's younger Murray? What is his Apex Mountain then? It's either Stripes or Ghostbusters. It's probably Ghostbusters. I mean, that would make sense to me. Ghostbusters was an absolute phenomenon and became one of the defining movies of the 80s. They're still making them for some reason. For some reason. Scarlet? No, I don't think so. Could you say it's the best movie she's been in? I really like Marriage Story. I'll never watch that movie again. Really? That was a one and out. That's like Million Dollar Baby. It's like, good work, guys. Please don't buy me a Blu-ray. I had to rewatch it for Big Pic a few months ago. It's still, as a child of divorce, it's a real gut punch. That's why I can't do it. It's powerful. It's really good. I can't say I had a ton of fun. The acting was extraordinary. And she's really, really good in it. And I think it's also, it's sort of like, Lost in Translation might be the best movie that she's been in, but it's kind of like the Bill Murray thing where I think that she's more powerful. You know, it's like the apex of her career is later on. Wasn't she nominated twice that year? Yeah, because she was also nominated for Jojo Rabbit. Yeah. Yeah. I personally think the best she's been in a movie from a star standpoint was Matchpoint, but I don't know if that was her best acting performance. She's really good in it. What a messed up movie. Would he really? Would he really adopted her for like four or five years? Yeah. Sofia Coppola. I mean, I would say yes. Probably. Yeah, I think it has to be. Not in my heart, but. With the nominations and she wins an Oscar. She wins an Oscar. and this is her, I think so. Rabisi, he had a big Friends arc before this that when Friends was like 30 million people a week. Centauri Whiskey, definitely. Tokyo. Well, in movies, for us, I don't know. I mean, it's real. Yeah, maybe for an American audience. I think for an American audience, yeah. Tokyo is a movie location? I don't think so. What is it then? What's the answer? I mean, like, maybe. Maybe as an American movie location. As an American movie, a Western movie, I mean. I like Black Rain, but I think it's just me and Chris Ryan on that one. I think there's a very long tradition of Japanese movies set in Tokyo. No, I know. I'm thinking about like our kind of movies. American-wise, I think it's for, possibly, yeah. The Park High at Tokyo, no question. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, it's like the White Lotus Hotel in season two where it's like, I just kind of want to stay there now. I feel like I know this place. Insomnia movies? Sure. What are the other candidates other than Insomnia with Al Pacino? Well, something's got to give. They bond because they can't sleep. Speaking of 2003 movies, they had an important, I think a lot of movies, jet lag movies, this is probably number one. It's on me in a jet lag combo. Yeah. Phoenix, the band, I'm going to say no. No, you're right. No. It was 2009. It was that, the album that was such a big hit. Anything else for Apex Mountain? Carpets Watches? I like it. I like all of that stuff. Yeah. More than you do, but. I couldn't come up with the best racehorse name. Park Hyatt. Park Hyatt's good. Yeah. Yeah, that's solid. Maybe get a sponsorship out of it. Picky Nits. Have some questions about Scarlett's marriage here. So. Don't we all? Isn't that the point of the movie? Well, so she graduates from Yale. Right. With a philosophy degree. Which puts her at 22, 23. Yeah. So she graduated last spring, but it's the fall. So she could be. So she's supposed to be 24. Yeah. So where'd she meet this guy? In, in New York. And this guy who seems like, I'm going to say he's like 29. Yeah. And he's just like, let's lock it down. Let's just get married. He's a jet set photographer. I guess so. She's young. She has figured out literally nothing with her life and she just gets married to a jet set photographer. I think her rash decision is one of the major regrets and themes of the movie. Yeah. Would you have liked to have heard her talk about that in the movie or no? I mean, she does in her own way. You know when she calls the friend and she's like, I went to a shrine and I didn't feel anything. Right. And John is using all these hair products and I don't even know who I married. One line about the hair products is kind of like all I need to know. He doesn't make a move on her when they're lying in bed, which I'm actually okay with, but I just want to talk it out. Yeah. Because she's kind of... Well, she rolls over to face him She rolls over. That's the come hither kind of move. Oh, boy. Yeah. But there is something... Neither of them is projecting come and get it. But then that last scene when they're in the bar, their faces are like... Right. They're framed in such a way. No, I know. And it is supposed to suggest that. And also, at the terrible lunch, she says, you know, I guess she's closer in age, which implies that she's thinking of it that way. You're right that she's thinking of it. I think she's throwing it out. He's like thinking a little bit about it too, but he is also talking a lot about his kids in that moment. There is like something sort of like confused between them,
