Sicario they have the second one Sicario but she can like I think she can do all of this stuff that you need for this person to be able to do and I don't know I'm trying to buy up all of Isabella stock that I can all right that's my pick she's in yes let's let's move on apex mountain is this Emma Stone's apex mountain Amanda go ahead I I think I know we relitigate this every time I think on paper now because Emma Stone has like this is when it starts for her but this then she has a very successful career over a decade and counting and she does win an Oscar for La La Land she's in movies that have a much bigger audience she's in movies that are probably taken more quote like capital S seriously though again I think that's unfair and frankly like Emma Stone should have been nominated for an Oscar for this role let me redo the other people who are nominated because this was would have been for 2010 so it was Natalie Poorman one for black swan then it was Annette Bening for the kids are all right Nicole Kidman for rabbit hole Jennifer Lawrence interestingly for winter's bone this was also the Jennifer Lawrence breakthrough year and Michelle Williams for blue Valentine I like all of those actresses they've all been nominated for Oscars like 45 times and I don't remember anything about rabbit hole with all respect to Nicole Kidman and I Annette Bening deserves an Oscar but I the kids are all right has really not stayed with me so I think we could have made room for Emma Stone however the Oscars don't really acknowledge comedy it's one of their major problems so I think ultimately it's not technically her apex mountain but she doesn't get to her apex mountain without this movie how about that I agree with that one of my favorite things to do when preparing for a rewatchable is taking the star's name and googling vanity fair so like Emma Stone vanity fair Emma Stone's vanity fair profile came the following year and I think it was the October cover of 2011 because that was her big year of the help and friends with benefits and of course crazy stupid love and so I think to your point this there is Emma Stone as we know her now probably does not happen without EZA but I think Emma Stone's fame does still happen because she's just obviously undeniable I just don't think you can make the case this is anywhere close to her apex mountain what what what is it what's her apex mountain when is it it's gotta be La La Land right I think it's probably La La Land I think yeah but she wins that right but it's like it's like five minutes right because she wins the Oscar for La La Land and then literally the next award is the Moonlight La La Land debacle and it gets completely overshadowed and you know a lot of things were overshadowed that night among them Moonlight winning Best Picture which was an amazing thing but it is it's amazing how short that victory lap was for Emma Stone just because of how it happened oh no I disagree I think when when when she walked out of that building with that statue in her hand she could walk into any room and get any movie made immediately after that I think that that's why and so she picked Cruella Cruella is gonna be awesome I don't care I mean just tell me how it works for you like just think in your mind okay Cruella is 101 Dalmatians is a movie or a concept that's about a bunch of dogs who are trying to escape this evil lady who wants to make coats out of their fur yeah like and it's the Cruella is the origin story of this lady I I have some concerns okay but I the thing is here's here's the here's the here's the the pitch for it hey do you want to see a movie where Emma Stone is evil fuck yeah I do yeah I absolutely do but this is also a movie for children so that's okay that's okay I don't know maybe maybe they'll figure it out what was the the villain in a mistrunchable terrifying still terrifying as an adult I think that's all true I think that's true and I think also to bring it back to EZA if you told me that they're gonna make a movie about a teen girl who lies about having sex with every person in class for money in order to make a point about reputations and it all happens on Facebook I would have been like yikes that sounds really depressing and they made it work so maybe they can make Cruella work but I'm just saying boom she could do it all she could do it all did y'all like the favorite I hope I love it favorite oh that's good we should do that one that's good that's a good movie oh that's a good one I I also really like crazy stupid love I think yeah she's like really likable in that movie I don't know of course people you want to root for yeah it's also episode in that role is playing person who is just completely overwhelmed to the point of speechlessness by Ryan Gosling so Emma Stone is all of us in that movie and then at the end gets to do the dirty dancing lift I just I also am speechless after those scenes 2011 to 2014 is like pretty amazing for her she had the three 2011 movies then 2012 the amazing spider-man 2013 she's in gangster squad which wasn't you know was not critically acclaimed but like I'll have attention she's back in spider-man in 2014 plus she's in bird man which I also liked though I feel like it's no longer like thought upon favorably but I think her contribution to bird man is still thought of very favorably yeah and then she's in aloha which is just a screeching halt and it hasn't quite been the same she had she had la la land but I don't know I think that the I think easy a through bird man was like a pretty impressive run for a young actress so good job by her not an apex mountain though you can't make the case it's anyone's apex mountain which I think speaks to like a pretty interesting movie where it's like this is a pivotal and crucial movie that we are inducting into some sort of canon but it's not anyone's peak yeah probably the director well glocks peak in my opinion I think it's it's a good movie and from that and on as you mentioned he makes friends with benefits and then he does the the live-action Peter Rabbit movies and encore on Disney plus I think he produces with Kristen Bell great show Shay have you watched encore on Disney plus I have not oh my god I think you might like it what is it about we talk about it later we talk about later it's high school classes reuniting like anywhere from five to 30 years later to put on the musical they all did when they were in high school together oh my god I love it I read it out it's okay all right it's time to pick some knits this can get lengthy so let's just go with some highlights my number one knit that I need to pick they're kind of it's two tied together the way that olive remembers eighth grade which was just a few years ago is so completely stupid that I can't get over it she's so surprised when Dan Humphries remembers things that that they share in eighth grade and like that was like three years ago for them like who's surprised and relatedly the fact that they cast younger actors but use the voices of well used Emma stone's voice is so stupid that I just don't understand what they were thinking I do not get it this is one of I completely agree with this and this is one of the my main complaints of all like teenage and high school type movies is when they have to flash back to like when I was in sixth grade and I just like I can't go with I'm I'm a grown-up I can't we can't like be flashing back to the nostalgia of a 10 year old I'm I can't do it it's really weird it's also just like to be like oh you remember that we almost kissed in a closet that would be like a traumatic event probably for that young man of like not being able to like land the kiss at his young age at that young age so like of course he remembers it everyone remembers they're like making out trauma from when they were in sixth and seventh grade yeah and that was eighth grade even even more recent I just I cannot abide drives me crazy okay that's just really most important for my list I also want to note that when they go to the party and all I was like I just put on my mom's dress it's like a really hot dress that's like tiny and I don't
