Blackjack movie? Cereal? Well, that's an interesting point. They never really show us what the cereal is. It looks like he's eating crackling O'Brien or something. Are we going back to cereal now? I had it written down in Apex Mountain. This is Apex Mountain for cereal conversations, I think, this podcast. Cereal, gambling, no. Michael K. Williams, no. Shaving points in a movie? Blue chips. Blue chips. Omega watches? In film. Watching basketball indoors with sunglasses on? Definitely. Yeah. Definitely. We finally got one. You asked best Blackjack scene. I'd really have to think about that and maybe come back. I don't know. I don't want to just give that answer just quickly. This might be actually Apex Mountain for cocktail waitresses in movies because between Brie Larson and the woman at the horse track when he's like, this kid's like the grandson of the 16th richest man in California and she's like, does he drink? So, I'd be with you on that but what about Swingers? Oh, yeah. That's true. Dorothy. Yeah. That's true. Best Blackjack scene in a movie? Well, there's Rain Man, right? It's probably Rain Man. Casino Royale, they're playing poker. Yeah. I'd have to think. I'll have an answer in a later pod. I really want to research this because I don't want to leave anything out. Open guess the lines with Rain Man is the best. I think of all. Hangover, do they actually play that much? Hangover, they do it. But they're just making fun of Rain Man and Hangover. They play poker in California Split, right? All right, I just Googled this. 21 was a movie built around Blackjack. Oh, yeah, that's right. The Kevin Spacey movie. I didn't really like that movie that much, so. And then, man, really not a lot of great Blackjack. I'm sure there is. Maybe the listeners will have one. Yeah, I think it's mostly poker because poker actually takes strategy and like skill and the hands have like arcs to them whereas Blackjack's just like, oh, fuck. Maybe somebody someday will make the movie about my Blackjack career where eventually all my friends leave and it's three in the morning and they're vacuuming under my feet. And then Jacoby comes back. Yeah, Jacoby's like, how are you still awake? Yeah. Cruise or Hanks? This is easily a cruise to me. Easily. This is the easiest cruise in a while and it made me think like this actually would have been an incredible, incredible cruise. What year though? What year of cruise? After like 90. 2002? Like the firm era. Oh, I'm thinking younger. Yeah. How old do you want him to be? Like 35. Is that too, so how old is he? So maybe right after Jerry Maguire? Yes. Like Vanilla Sky Cruise? Right around then. Yes. I think you're right. Decided. Cruise needed it. So now he's three back. Yep. 19 to 16. Has Cruise ever been a professor? I would love to see Cruise molding young minds. I mean, he does that. He teaches film to all of us. He's been a student in Cocktail. Yeah. He's been a lawyer but he's never been a teacher, right? Cruise doing the first professor. Oh, he's a teacher in Top Gun Maverick. Oh yeah, he is. He's an instructor. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Racehorse, rock band, wrestler, or fantasy team name? I'll give you Lamar's Point Shavers or King of Spades?
