Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
57:43 – 62:25… conversation about how to get over the hill. Yeah. It's like Laurel Canyon. It's also like real bullshit. Well, we can get to this. Yeah. We can get to it. Apex Mountain. I don't know when it is for Rogan. You could argue it's this movie because this movie made a lot of money. The run that he does is 40-year-old virgin, knocked up, super bad, kung fu panda. Observe and report funny people, Green Hornet, and Paul, which is sort of the wobble. 50-50, which is actually quite good. Take this waltz. This is the end, Neighbors, and Steve Jobs.

Yeah. It's like Laurel Canyon. It's also like real bullshit. Well, we can get to this. Yeah. We can get to it. Apex Mountain. I don't know when it is for Rogan. You could argue it's this movie because this movie made a lot of money. The run that he does is 40-year-old virgin, knocked up, super bad, kung fu panda. Observe and report funny people, Green Hornet, and Paul, which is sort of the wobble. 50-50, which is actually quite good. Take this waltz. This is the end, Neighbors, and Steve Jobs. So it's either this is the end or Neighbors. As the apex? Yeah. Not knocked up? No, because I think, I probably would say it's this is the end. Because when this movie makes money and then Neighbors is coming and I would say. Neighbors, they did, that was the same thing where Neighbors was like cheap and it made like $200 million, right? Jonah Hill, no. It's close. I mean, this is Wolf and this is the end, right? Same here. Wolf, I would say it's probably Wolf. It's Wolf or Moneyball, yeah. Yeah. Didn't he get nominated for Moneyball? Yeah. Franco, it's probably right around here. Maybe 127 Hours. Did he win the Oscar for that? No, but he got nominated. Probably getting nominated. McBride, this is last year of Eastbound. And this movie, I'm going to say yes. Yeah, it's probably right. Craig Robinson, it's right around here for him too. He's got a hot tub. Time Machine was a couple years earlier. He'd been in the office. Than this. Sarah, it's backwards. It's probably super bad. Yeah. Emma Watson. Yeah, this is way bigger than being in Harry Potter. Yeah, I'm going to say Harry Potter. Backstreet Boys, no. Comedies? Is it Apex Mountain for comedies? I'm going to say no. Okay. I'm just throwing it out there. Well, you called it the greatest comedy of the generation. Yeah, but not of all time. 21st century comedies? I didn't say generation, I just said of this cohort. Comedies of the last 10 years? Yes. From 2023 to 2013? Yeah. Easily. Yeah. I don't even know what's in the conversation. I think it's Apex Mountain for just movie pitches. Oh, that's good. Yeah. I like that. How about Melrose? It's a really good use of Melrose. Although it makes Melrose seem a lot more convenient than it actually is. Because they're just like, yeah, we just walked down to this convenience store. Yeah, yeah. Is there like a fucking store like that on Melrose? Best resource name? Asia. Asia. Spelled the way? Yeah. What about textbook twatage? What about Channing Tate Young? Here comes Channing Tate Young's kid. Oh, God. Pick and Nitz. Where in L.A. could Franco have that house but then walk three blocks to Melrose? Also, it's... That street does not exist. Unlikely that Channing Tatum and him both live right off the street. Like that they're not in some sort of gated community or up a hill or something. We're mixing like three different neighborhoods. That looks like it's down the street from the Hollywood Bowl. Yeah, it does seem like kind of Los Feliz-ish. You're not walking to Melrose in three blocks from that house. I had a lot of issues with that. Rogan said it's not a real house but it was supposed to be near Melrose. But Melrose isn't in the hills. I know they say it's in the hills but I think they film it as if it's in West Hollywood. But this conversation's for like 10 people. No, it's not. No, it's like... This is important work. Listen, it's like in 90210. They lived in Manhattan Beach but went to California U and could just drop in in Beverly Hills anytime. You come for the ethics of Hitler and comedies and you stay for the L.A. real estate talk. But this is one of those things you don't know until you move here. You think the way L.A. is presented in TV and movies, everything is right next to everything else. Even the street they're on, like when they pull up in the taxi, it's like this huge wide street. It looks like San Jose. That's what I'm saying. And you're like, this isn't in the hills. I feel like that house is almost like Brentwood. Yeah. But it's not. We're supposed to be in the city. A lot of issues. Would Emma Watson, would they really have been that scared of her with the acts? There's six of them. Well, I think the whole point of them is that they're supposed to be idiot actors who can't take care of themselves. Okay, that's good. I like that. What other nitpicks? Hard to nitpick this movie because it's insane. There's no way Seth Rogen is picking anyone up from the airport. Oh, that's great. Great one, Craig. So it's just zero chance. In 13, no. He's Seth Rogen. He's playing himself. Yeah, but like Uber gets really going in 13, 14. He's not waiting in the airport either. He would call him a driver then. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. He's sending somebody. Great call. Also standing at the gate, like not even just in the car doing the loop. Yeah, that was post 9-11. Nobody does that. No. Yeah, that's really good.
