Apex Mountain
Peter Jacobsen; CBS crew in movies; armadillos; seven-iron; Jim Nantz in movies

Approx. transcript time · 01:33:04Read transcript
- Costner's Apex is Dances with Wolves, Marin's earlier comedy or later family-film career is debated, and Johnson's is Miami Vice.
- Not laying up is floated as Apex; West Texas is redirected to Friday Night Lights, Russo is uncertain against other hits, and Peter Jacobsen and the CBS crew in movies receive affirmative answers.
- Caddyshack is the golf-film peak despite Tin Cup's authenticity; Waffle House and the U.S. Open do not receive secure affirmative peaks.
- Armadillos, the seven-iron and Nantz specifically in movies receive support; Nantz's overall career and partnership with Venturi peaked elsewhere.
- Unexpected sports-movie losses are proposed for comparison; Rocky is preferred, its result corrected from a draw, while Friday Night Lights offers a strong surprise.

- Mid-1990s CBS golf coverage lends authenticity, although CBS did not cover the real U.S. Open; booth access strengthens the final hour.
- Nantz, Mickelson gambling, the shanks and forward-looking sports psychology are aged-best selections.
- Molly's professional competence is questioned after the meltdown, then defended because she initially recommends laying up.
- Let the big dog eat remains influential; origins of grip it and rip it and the doctor riddle are questioned rather than securely established.
- Broadcast production, leather golf bags, pawnshops, strip clubs, water on the eighteenth, Cheech as sidekick, Jimmy Roberts, West Texas and enduring Tin Cup jokes are praised.
- Johnson and Marin's later Nash Bridges partnership is noted.
Most Rewatchable Scene
Opening lesson; U.S. Open sequence; Roy shoots 62
In the discussion (13)
Approx. transcript time · 00:36:21Read transcript
- Molly's first lesson establishes chemistry, the swing philosophy and unanswered questions about her appearance and arrival.
- The first lesson conveys a believable golf obsessive through philosophical dialogue.
- Caddying for Sims introduces the lay-up conflict and enjoyable professional cameos; Mickelson gambling has aged especially well.
- Qualifying with a seven-iron after breaking the other clubs is admired; a hybrid is offered as an alternative single-club choice.
- Sims's road-shot trick seems like an ingenious protagonist move rather than villain behavior.
- The pelican shot is enjoyed; shooting 62 is preferred, with praise for Jim Nantz's unchanged voice.
- The wide shot of the long tenth-hole putt is praised for showing the entire tournament setting; golf permits repeat filming without complex resets.
- Russo's physical reactions, the broadcasters' astonishment and spectators entering the lake make the finale work; the twelve would remain memorable.
- Nice par, David can mean the golf score or a romantic double entendre; Sims's actual finish is not shown.
- The unconventional ending is preferred to an ordinary winning finish, especially on repeat viewing.
- The opening lesson is the scene preference because it establishes character and golf poetry.
- The U.S. Open hour is another preference, especially the opening shanks; helicopter footage is corrected from drone footage.
- The 62 and final forty minutes are preferred, excluding the unnecessary final five.
