and it's back even in LA where you don't meet a Chris or a Ben or something so you're saying there's a young actor out there Jacob Elordi could some they played 12 Jacks and could take the title from Bacon Kevin Bacon Seven Jack that's the record Seven Jacks Apex Mountain Hanks this might be it is this it? it just depends on where you want to put it in that sweet spot right? we're there because he also has Toy Story this year it's we're here Tom Hanks' Apex Mountain is bigger than the other mountains okay he's just way up there for a while yeah but it's somewhere between it has like several summits is that how mountains work? somewhere between winning the Oscar for Forrest Gump but then filming this movie yeah and voicing Toy Story I think it's probably right there okay I think filming this movie was Apex Mountain counterpoint is Apex Mountain for Hanks really having the juice to be like I shall do lady killers you know like the like no one can say no to me point in his career where he's done Saving Private Ryan by that point he's done like not only this but so much more he's done like I'm doing this and I'm directing it should we sing it for you now? but he's like I'm doing this and I'm gonna direct it and they're like okay Tom Hanks you know who has one of her first roles in that thing you do? your girl Charlize how do you like them apples? I wouldn't say she comes off great in it no but she's used well just an icon Ron Howard Apex Mountain probably Beautiful Mind probably for the acclaim alone Sinise we're in the mix right here with him yeah it's all gonna lead someday to him doing nine years of CSI and living a great life it's like what's that blood pattern? Kevin Bacon I don't know what his it's probably in the 80s it's probably like Footloose that sets up like the next 40 years I think that makes sense Houston? I thought about this too City of Houston? the only other interesting thing I came up with for Houston is 1981 which is when Houston gave us Beyonce is that the only competitive point in time? 1981 Houston made the finals in the NBA but this is also when they won the finals so right so Apollo 13 Houston we gotta have a problem coinciding with the Rockets winning back to back basically that's the answer is that it? Rockets win they've lost the Oilers though do you think the Rockets should incorporate more space themes into their jerseys and stuff? they're starting to they're bringing it back they have like a little astronaut alt now they got some stuff going on lean into it you know Rollerball which is up there somewhere that team was in Houston too oh the team from Rollerball? the team from Rollerball in the future set in Houston something about Houston and the future and space yeah then you go there and it's just highways and everything is an hour from everything else yeah Ed Harris hmm he is Oscar nominated he's having an incredible 90s run here because the firm he's in the Rock like he's just yeah he's in China Moon with Madeline Stowe is he nominated for Truman Show? if he wasn't it was a travesty can't remember even though we did that speaking of great berets just impeccable work it's somewhere between here and Truman Show I don't know where Kathleen Quinlan I mean she gets the Oscar yeah Brian Grazer producer this has a Brian Grazer production at the beginning instead of Imagine so maybe space movies? I don't think it can be yeah I don't think so I mean Star Wars 2001 yeah you had Steven Spielberg here talking about which chair did Steven sit in? in mine oh my god excuse you Mr. Spielberg I'm not on a first name basis and that Rob sat in the seat when when when Sean had the criteria orgasm that Steven did you get this laundered or do I need to get up? and Sean just like all of his vertebrae just collapsed in his back they had a joint criteria orgasm together at the same time it was beautiful it's very rare it's unbelievable I've never seen a human react like Sean did it was amazing American Idealism Apex Mountain I think I made the pitch American Ingenuity yeah wait is it 95 or in 1970? 1970 oh in this movie 95 we're grasping at it we're like trying to hold on and it's already gone 95 we're moving more toward Monica Lewinsky and Howard Stern private parts and Jerry Springer Cruise or Hanks? I think it's Hanks Hanks well I mean you already made the case for just why not both? why not put Cruise in for bacon? I like it Hanks and Jack would have been fun yeah Fortune 3 clap award for best gif-able moment I think it's Harris collapsing after after they make it oh really? getting welling up for the like Miami trades for Giannis and you do the Ed Harris collapse back when I read this on the doc not having rewatched the movie that is what I thought but I forgot that it cuts away from him for a second and then it goes back to an incredible gif of him doing a double thumbs up straight to the camera which if that's not a meme I mean that seems like a real like Leo and Gatsby champagne glass you know just double thumbs very good double thumbs up is within our power to make happen yeah but also is this not Houston we have a problem with the subtitle is that not just the gif of the moment with Hanks because it's straight you don't even need the subtitle that's true you know we know what that means there's a sinise a quiet fist bump that he does too that could be in there Sean Penn I brought my own pack award excellence in on screen smoking I just want to honor Ed Harris okay yeah I felt like those were real cigarettes do you want to use the clove cinnamon ones he's like fuck no I'm using the real ones I thought about the who was made hotter by smoking award for this movie for all of the dudes in the control room who like sure kind of have a little aura going on just by like I mean yeah they're doing math for 90% of the movie and then they just get to like rip pipes for no reason big cigars at the end the cigars at the end are great pick and nits speaking of cigarette smoking not enough this is 1970 everybody in that control room smoking when they're cut into the house I think everybody except the kids are fucking smoking it's just like a smoke fest right in 95 what was what were the rules in terms of ratings I think Ron Howard was just trying to be like yeah there's a lot of like people just putting a cigarette out or people lighting a cigarette but not actually smoking the cigarette so you mentioned the failure's not an option and
