The whole segment, as transcribed
They, they also added on the radio announcement at the end that the Irish peace process has gone through and that basically the, the, the, the understanding being that Sam saves that peace treaty by getting Seamus. Right. Apex mountain. Stellan scars guard. He's got this and goodwill hunting in the same year. And then deep blue sea the, a year after, it just feels like it didn't get much better for him than that. I mean, he's been around, he's been in a million movies, but this is kind of peak Stellan bill. Great call. Thank you. Apex scars guard. Apex. Katarina, Katarina Witt. No, no, she, she, her apex is on top of the metal stand. John Frankenheimer. I'd say Manchurian candidates got to be. Yeah, it's got to be. I agree. John Reno, the professional. Not De Niro. Natasha Macalone. Hmm. She spent a lot of time on Californication. I would say Californication. That show is good. I like that show. Movies with mysterious suitcases that get switched. What do you have above this would be my question. Man, this is, that's a great question. Yeah. Is this Apex Mountain for suitcase movies? Yeah, it might be. Might be. Might be. I don't even know where you buy those suitcases. Yeah, I think it is. I think it's in the, in the mix. And then, uh, this late nineties France movies. Absolutely. I was going to say Apex Mountain for Nice. Yeah. There you go. Uh, pick and nits. Again, why did De Niro and Deirdre suddenly become attracted to each other? I don't know. Why didn't Katarina Witt just play herself? I think that would have been more of an international incident if she was assassinated in a skating exhibition. Yeah, exactly. That scene's so much bigger. It's like, oh my God, they shot the actual Katarina Witt. That would have worked. How long was her skating performance? It's a good flaw in this movie. How long was it? It's just going on for a while. Yeah. De Niro and John Reno, they're going underneath. They're getting through security. There's a whole showdown. It, it might be a 25 minute skating performance. I don't think anyone's ever done a solo skating performance. How long was the song? Were they using Free Bird by Leonard Skinner? What's going on? Did they have to use Hotel California? The woman who was like, the sniper woman was like, Jesus Christ, when is this going to wrap up? My God. I need a protein bar. And then where was the security? That's what I was going to say, man. This is the, the picking nit that I have is just the lax law enforcement of France. There's so, there's basically a countrywide crime spirit spree that costs dozens of lives to say nothing of the amount of carnage on the road that it's doing. Farmers markets are destroyed. Shootouts outside of hotels. Car chases through towns. Bistros absolutely ravaged. And they never really seem that, that concerned about the cops. And even when there is like, they're, they're kneeing security guards in the balls to get backstage at, at ice skating events. There just never seems to be that much pressure from the police. I know that this is before a technological surveillance state or whatever, but it really does seem to be pushing it a little bit. Yeah. The second big chase scene, they're driving on the wrong side of the road for like 10 minutes. It ends with a car crash. Yeah. Into a construction site and a thing blowing up and De Niro and John Reno are standing at the top of the highway, shooting at them. No cops. No cops. No cops. Just say, Hey, they just told each other that they got away. Want to get a cup of coffee? Like just everything's fine. Best, uh, best quote. We mentioned a couple of them. I like either you're part of the problem or you're part of the solution or you're just part of the landscape. Good senior year, but quote there.
