The whole segment, as transcribed
And Jack's in a relationship with a female cop who later says she wants to plant a gun at the racetrack to clear his name. And then there's some other stuff but that you can find out what they had in the original screenplay. Do you have this book? I do not. Fuck. It was in the research. Apex Mountain. Eddie Ngo. Nolte. Getting close. Getting closer than Nolte. Nolte re-Apex. Yeah, the re-Apex. Bryan James? Probably, although much to his chagrin. I remember him. I feel like I remember him. He was in a movie called Shocker. He was the star of the movie Shocker, which was a Wes Craven movie. Oh, okay. Horror movie. Frustrating action movie sequels. Is there a more frustrating but lovable movie than this that was an action movie? I mean, frustrating but lovable? Yeah. I'd say Predator 2 is frustrating but lovable. Oh, that's a good answer. But I'm in love with the fucking movie. Yeah, but it's like Predator 2 is... I think we would have a great time doing Predator 2 as a re-watchable. Is this a pitch? Just saying. Danny Glover and Bill Paxton? You guys, I know that these movies aren't critically acclaimed, but these movies aren't bad. That movie is fun as fuck. It's weird. It's all out there. I refuse to try to act like Predator 2 sucks. That's a good movie. You're talking to a guy who did a two-hour podcast on species. Who were you talking to? Walter Hill, no. What did we decide Walter Hill's Apex Mountain was? Not the Warriors. 48 hours or the Warriors? 48 hours. Probably his Apex, yeah. Cruise or Hanks? Apex Mountain for guys flying through windows after being shot by a handgun? Doesn't get any better than this. There's a lot of them in this movie. And they take off like 20 feet. You know, like you get shot twice and you're just like flying across a bar and out of plate glass of window. It's like Shea Gojus Alexander driving in the paint flying backwards. You're already starting the agenda. Yeah. Cruiser Hanks. Hanks as Jack? Is that what we're talking? Hanks as Reggie? Cruz? Cruise? They don't work. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. So we have to pick though. You do. Hanks as Reggie. Are we Nolte or Eddie? Who are we picking? No, it has to be the Nolte part. I'd say Hanks. It can't be. Neither one of those guys can do that. It's got to be Hanks. You have to pick. Okay. What about Hanks as Iceman? No, it's got to be the lead. Okay. Dude, you're the fucking... What's the fucking weird? You can't just be... Yeah, you can't just... Then it's Hanks. It's Hanks. The whole point is who could be the lead of this movie. This is the rule. There's only one other time I've seen you like this. Fantasy football. The podcast? No, like the whole fantasy football debacle that happened this year where you caused a crash out. When you made up No, I didn't cause the crash out. Heifetz caused the crash out. You guys caused the crash out. Heifetz sent a dissertation about a minor issue. Sean stormed out of the text thread. That fucking hysterical. He's like, whatever. Sean goes, let me show you. Sean Phanis, he has left the chat. It is one of his funniest moves when he leaves the chat. That was hysterical. All right, so we'll go with Hanks. Scorsese or Spielberg? Clearly Scorsese. Yeah. Best hang, worst hang? Probably Cherry Gans for worst hang. I feel like the Brent Jang's character is the most like... Decent hang. Yeah, he's the most normal person in this movie. Go to Vegas with them? Yeah. Hey, man. Hey, man. Angel. That's the best hang, baby. Angel, best hang. Angel's the best hang. She's up in North Beach. She's up in North Beach. I think if you're hanging out with Angel, you run the risk of running into Cherry. That could get complicated. I think it's worth it. You always run that risk, though. Angel. Worst hang, Cherry Gans. Yeah, Cherry's too intense. Hey, did you see the Phillies game? I gotta kill Kyle. Fuck you. Terrible tattoo on him. Yeah. That's a real teardrop. Sloppy teardrop. It's way too big. It's like kind of in front of his... Well, he wasn't doing it for clicks. He was doing it because he put bodies away. He's a body man, baby. Yeah, there was no IG likes back then, man. He wouldn't have gotten any. We've covered a lot of picky nits already. It's a lot of them. Reggie does shoot a guy in the knee at the bar
