… stewardess who will become fat after having kids. Oh my. That was the whole scene. That's a deleted scene? Yeah. They decided to take that one out. Uh, Apex Mountain, Molly Ringwald. I say yes. Probably. Yeah. Yes. I think of her powers. Jed Nelson. I say yes. Yeah. Anthony Michael Hall. No. What do you think is Apex Mountain? Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let me rephrase that. It is his Apex Mountain. It is because it leads to weird science. And he could, and he could have done Full Metal Jacket. Full Metal Jacket. Ally Sheedy. No. I would say San Almost Fire for her and Amelia Westavis. Yeah. She's …

The whole segment, as transcribed

Brian will become very successful, but die of a heart attack due to the stress of a high paying job. Alice will be a great poet, but no one will care. And Andrew will marry a gorgeous airline stewardess who will become fat after having kids. Oh my. That was the whole scene. That's a deleted scene? Yeah. They decided to take that one out. Uh, Apex Mountain, Molly Ringwald. I say yes. Probably. Yeah. Yes. I think of her powers. Jed Nelson. I say yes. Yeah. Anthony Michael Hall. No. What do you think is Apex Mountain? Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let me rephrase that. It is his Apex Mountain. It is because it leads to weird science. And he could, and he could have done Full Metal Jacket. Full Metal Jacket. Ally Sheedy. No. I would say San Almost Fire for her and Amelia Westavis. Yeah. She's good. But you guys see, she made the order. Not a great movie, but she's really good at it. Also High Art. That's her. I mean. Well, higher, but that comes at the end of the career, kind of, or like the third act of the career. She's good at Bad Boys, too, with Sean Penn. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. She had a nice little 82 to 85 run. John Hughes. I would say Ferris Bueller. I think Ferris. Ferris Bueller. Anybody else? I mean, Gleeson. Trading Places is pretty strong. Yeah. But I mean, I think that Molly Ringwald, I don't look at, it's funny, I don't look at the three John Hughes movies as being separate. I look at them as being one work. Yeah. Right. Like Godfather 1, 2, and 3. Oh, no, bad example. Like, I can't think of another star whose stardom existed for such a brief period of time, but was so important. Yeah. Right? And because I mean, even, I mean, do you guys actually see Fresh Horses? I think I saw it once. Because I went, and it's kind of like White Angel Heart. Uh-huh. It's like, they can't do any of the things that they asked poor Lisa Bonet to do in that movie. Molly Ringwald is like meant to imply she did in this one. But that's the sort of thing where like, White Angel Heart. Jesus. One bad movie kind of ruined, like didn't ruin everything. Yeah, you lose momentum. But she went from there to Betsy's Wedding, which is a movie I love. I don't know if you guys have seen it recently, but it holds up. I mean, I like our wedding movies. Anyway. Picking Nets. Yes. Can we just, can I do this? Can I bat lead off here? For picking Nets? God. They're fucking expelled. For what they did to that library. And what they did to school property. Ding, ding, ding, And it didn't really occur to me before, but first of all, they hotbox half the school. Yep. Nobody smelled that weed. I can't believe that. It's not like they're smoking out the window. As soon as they walk out, their parents are like, you reek of pot. What the fuck happened in detention today? Yeah, yeah. Second of all, he destroys that, that little booth where he shatters the glass with his voice. Right. So you've got broken glass everywhere. Lunch meat on a statue. The ceiling. The ceiling has been destroyed.
