45:13 – 47:59… watched the car chase, I'm like, yo. It seemed like a. And obviously there. The 70s is filled with. Is the 70s the best? Yeah. It's car chase. It's car chase apex mountain. Yeah. So it's filled with. But when I look at the car chase, that feels like the car chases that I grew up on. Well, you know what? You know what it is? I have a theory in this. What? Because the cars weren't as good. Even though they were expensive and fancy. The cars would spin a certain way where they would skid longer. Yeah. I think now the cars, like, it's just the driving and the precision is too good to them. So that's her Maserati? …

You have anyone that's the best fan? The car chase. Like when I watched the car chase, I'm like, yo. It seemed like a. And obviously there. The 70s is filled with. Is the 70s the best? Yeah. It's car chase. It's car chase apex mountain. Yeah. So it's filled with. But when I look at the car chase, that feels like the car chases that I grew up on. Well, you know what? You know what it is? I have a theory in this. What? Because the cars weren't as good. Even though they were expensive and fancy. The cars would spin a certain way where they would skid longer. Yeah. I think now the cars, like, it's just the driving and the precision is too good to them. So that's her Maserati? Yeah. It's like a 73 Maserati. And every time he's picking this bank in this turn, it's like skidding, skidding, skidding, but never like rolls over. I think that's it. I think it's the skids. Speaking of that from the beginning. So his angry girlfriend at the beginning is a Nietzsche Ford. Everybody's bought you. A Nietzsche. A Nietzsche Ford. She has that mid-70s kind of hot look that I just don't know why that went away. You know what I mean? Her name is a Nietzsche? A Nietzsche Ford. She down with the community? I don't know. Was she on Price is Right? Is that like one of the biographical things I saw about her? Because all the girls in Rollerball are incredible. It's like, I don't know. It's just quite an era. They're built different. But the multi-picture opening for the game, CR mentioned. Ed Lauder? Ed Lauder? Lauder or Lauder? Oh, Canauer? Yeah. Captain Canauer. Ed Lauder, I think it is. Such a familiar face. Great career. Here's his sports movie resume. Longest Yard, Jericho Mile, Youngblood, Gleam in the Cube, and he was in School Ties. Pretty good. Gleam in the Cube. Seminole, seminole Van Lathen movie. Important movie. Slater. Slater. Yeah. In there. Young Tony Hawk in there. It's a good one. Using skateboarding to solve crimes. Maybe we should do. It's on the list. Slater month where we do Gleam in the Cube, Legend of Billie Jean, and the re-pumping up of the volume. The re-pump? Oh, you guys did pump up the volume already? I think we got pump up the volume. Happy Hearing Hard On? Revived as a rental. Yeah. It's one of the biggest successes in the history of the rewatchables. We did pump up the volume partly because it was not available on any streaming service. And then it was like. And a month later, Amazon had it. And we were like, we've done it guys. Yeah. Quick question. Because it invented podcasting. But it did. Quick question. We'll come back. Is there any argument to be made that Heather should be included in a Slater? Yes. Yeah. Heather should be the fourth one. Yeah. I mean, you could really talk me into Broken Arrow pretty quickly. You know, can I be honest with you? I like Broken Arrow. It's an over-fucking-hated movie. What the fuck? Broken Arrow is solid. No, it's legitimately a good movie.
76:23 – 82:05… nitpicks about Neat. And then when the Maserati got fished out of the water the producers sold it for $7,000 to somebody as the car in the movie. Yeah. Yeah. Apex Mountain. Reynolds? Reynolds? I don't think I think it's probably Smokey and the Bandit. I mean that movie was like one of the five biggest movies of 1977. There's like a retrospective apex bound where I think you could probably be like this is it for him. But it's not for him. But it's not. Yeah because like this would probably be his most memorable it's his best thing that he did. Well ironically his two most memorable movies after all these years …

I have a couple of nitpicks about Neat. And then when the Maserati got fished out of the water the producers sold it for $7,000 to somebody as the car in the movie. Yeah. Yeah. Apex Mountain. Reynolds? Reynolds? I don't think I think it's probably Smokey and the Bandit. I mean that movie was like one of the five biggest movies of 1977. There's like a retrospective apex bound where I think you could probably be like this is it for him. But it's not for him. But it's not. Yeah because like this would probably be his most memorable it's his best thing that he did. Well ironically his two most memorable movies after all these years are three. Deliverance, Longest Yard, and Boogie Nights. Yeah. I think those are the first three if you're talking about the Burt Reynolds candidate. But he was the you know how they do the movie stars of the list of the year list? Yeah. Like he was number he was number one like five years ago. He took it from Clint. Yeah. He took it really from this year on. Harry Caesar sure. Eddie Albert was on Green Acres and that show was super popular. Green Acres is where I was that was I was like what show was he on? Yeah. Michael Conrad at Till Street Blues. James Hampton it's probably Teen Wolf Dad pretty iconic part. Yeah. Turns into a wolf you're like oh my god. I mean I think that's how most people know him. Yeah. Football movies I think yeah. I still feel like this is the best football movie. Did you put something above it? I was actually trying to think of like if anything even comes close. No. I think it definitely. Any Given Sunday is awesome. Any Given Sunday. Rudy's up there I guess. Remember the Titans. Remember the Titans. Varsity Blues. I have a soft spot for Wildcats. Friday Night Lights the movie. It's much more competitive than I thought it was just at the jump. Like there are going to be a lot of people that are going to look Replacements right? I love that movie. I do like the replacements. Yeah. I like that movie a lot. No this is the best one. 1974 Maseratis no question. Saturday Night Special as a movie song? Yeah. It's been in other movies though. Right? Yeah. I'm going to look it up. Hold on. And then two good ones for UCR. Anacott Steele. Mmm. The guards played Anacott Steele but I still think Wall Street is apex bound for Anacott Steele. Saturday Night Special was also in Blue Collar with Harvey Kytel and Yafet Koto. Oh. Yeah. That's it? That's pretty much it. Okay. Anacott Steele. That's yeah. Blue Oyster loves Anacott Steele. Blue Oyster loves Anacott Steele. Apex Mountain horrible West Palm Beach incidents. No. Mar-a-Lago. Where did Kraft get his massage? That was Jupiter was it not? That wasn't West Palm Beach? So is Tom Brady going to walk up to you and be like stop that shit? No. Jupiter Cut that shit Simmons. Jupiter it was Polk County that I remember because we were trying to Okay. So it's still not not Apex Mountain for this. Hey next category Cruise or Hanks? This is a Cruise movie. It's a Cruise. I do think that there was Cruise is good as I think this would be a fun Cruise movie. There was a point in their careers even though it would have it would have Cruise could have played Crew and Hanks could have played Scarborough. Oh. You know what I mean? It's like maybe like make Hanks look a little older you know but like sometime around League of Their Own sort of thing he was basically playing Scarborough anyway would have been cool. In the remake Reynolds played Scarborough and Chris Rock played Caretaker. Yeah. I have no comment. Racehorse rock band wrestler fantasy team name Mean Machine is an incredible racehorse name. Cruise is Paul Cruise is pretty interesting. He's very short. That's the only thing I was about to say. It's like it had to be like a Doug Flutie type. He's a Doug Flutie type. Yeah. Then you have him do the drop kick because he's Doug Flutie. In all the right moves what's his position? Cornerback. Corner. Cornerback. Yeah. Undersized cornerback. Pick and Nets. Well you guys go. I have a bunch. We're not my thing is we're not if you're the warden you don't just pay off the refs here. Like you're trying to fix everything else. Right. You're trying to you don't pay the refs off that's not going to happen. You would have thought the refs would have been planted the same way I hope they plant the refs for game seven of the Celtics Mavs finals. So my big one is just like why is like a former New York Giant and a former NFL all pro why are they both in a Florida prison? And Nate like crew doesn't know Nate's in the prison like nobody's like oh it's weird you're here because there's another NFL player here the entire time until like midway through training. Yeah that's pretty weird. And I just think that like the one thing that I wish they used more is the push-ups guy. Yeah he kind of he has like all these scenes in the swamp and you're like this guy must be a major part of this film. It's been like difficult or something. And then he disappears he's like on the side It's like the guy in the Warriors who just disappears halfway through the movie. Showing what a good athlete he is the entire time and then pretty much after the mud stuffing incident He should have blacked a field goal. Would the warden really care about the semi-pro team this much of this random fucking prison?
