  • Maybe the film is Guy Fieri's Apex Mountain. — Mallory Rubin
  • Kristen Wiig: yes, while still on SNL. — Mallory Rubin
  • Jon Hamm: definitely, with Mad Men and The Town happening at the same time. — Bill Simmons
  • Melissa McCarthy is a tough one; The Heat is praised, and this is called her best performance, though her New York Times best-actors-of-the-century listing is debated.
  • Maya Rudolph: not her apex; her SNL stretch and The Good Place judge run rank higher. — Bill Simmons
  • Rose Byrne: no; Neighbors is more likely. Apatow: probably not, since he did not direct it. — Bill Simmons
  • For wedding movies it is a finals between My Best Friend's Wedding and this, possibly adding Wedding Crashers. — Bill Simmons
  • Paul Feig, who created Freaks and Geeks and made Ghostbusters, definitely peaked here critically and commercially. — Mina Kimes
  • For shit scenes in movies, Succession and Harold and Kumar are cited and it deserves a follow-up pod, but this would be the peak; it is agreed as Apex Mountain for diarrhea in a movie.
  • A Lamar Jackson aside becomes the joke podcast Leave Lamar Alone.
  • Chris O'Dowd: yes, joked against Thor: The Dark World. — Bill Simmons
  • Wilson Phillips peaked in the early 90s, but the film gives them a belated or second Apex Mountain. — Bill Simmons
  • Milwaukee's apex was Laverne and Shirley. — Bill Simmons

  • Jon Hamm, in three scenes, escapes the Don Draper typecasting by playing the ultimate douchebag; "I really want you to leave, but I don't know how to say it without sounding like a dick" is the iconic line. — Bill Simmons
  • The opening gate swing of shame and Annie sneaking back into bed establish her character in two minutes. — Mina Kimes
  • Ted is a textbook narcissist everyone sees through, and making him horrible at sex is a great choice. — Mallory Rubin
  • The rich douchebag in relation to a woman reverses usual comedy roles; Hamm looks like an actor on vacation in a well-written part of nine or ten minutes, down to the Porsche.
  • Wendi McLendon-Covey as Rita is so good it is puzzling she did not break out more; she is a Kim Cattrall 2.0 type. — Bill Simmons
  • Jennifer Coolidge was considered as an alternative for Rita but would have been distracting; McLendon-Covey is more subtle and would not be recast. — Mina Kimes
  • Rita's lines, including the semen blanket and her nine-year-old telling her to fuck off over pizza, remind viewers that married life is not idyllic. — Mallory Rubin
  • Other holdovers: stealing Terry Crews's class to save $12, Annie's bad store work, the Jill Clayburgh casting, and the Bo Cosby joke. — Bill Simmons
  • The Fiona Apple song over the cupcake scene is noted, with Maya Rudolph married to Fiona Apple's ex Paul Thomas Anderson; the scene shows how broken Annie is about baking.
  • Baking in general in the Great British Bake Off era, including the cupcake leaf and the carrot cake, holds up. — Bill Simmons
  • Annie's mom's celebrity paintings, including Taylor Swift, are a subtle touch; her AA character outs people, including Bo Cosby.
  • Money, and how dumb and expensive weddings are, have aged well; the wedding industrial complex is real.
  • Weddings work as a movie trope because they put all the characters in one place; weddings also drive people crazy. — Bill Simmons
  • One participant recounts the only fight with their dad, three weeks before their wedding, over inviting a cousin's boyfriend to a guest list capped around 100-125. — Bill Simmons
  • Helen's stepkids and her 11 or 12 passive-aggressive lines, including the drink-passing line on the plane, are favorites.
  • It is nine golden retriever puppies; the Wilson Phillips ending and dancing hold up. — Bill Simmons
  • The ensemble performances, scatological humor and explicit R-rated comedy hold up; Milwaukee and Pittsburgh are underrated cities, and the "cock baby" graffiti is a favorite.
