Apex Mountain
Alec Baldwin; this kitchen (disputed)
In the discussion (8)
Approx. transcript time · 01:20:07Read transcript
- Streep is rejected here; her mid-eighties work and Devil Wears Prada through Iron Lady represent possible peaks, with no real career fallow period.
- Baldwin possibly qualifies alongside 30 Rock and SNL. — Bill Simmons
- Steve Martin’s late-seventies success is preferred; his-and-her sinks receive a positive discussion without a firm peak judgment.
- Meyers’s peak shifts from The Holiday to Something’s Gotta Give based on film quality, nominations and box-office discussion.
- Divorced-couple romances have earlier screwball peaks, including His Girl Friday and The Philadelphia Story.
- Krasinski’s A Quiet Place and marriage to Emily Blunt displace this performance as his peak. — Bill Simmons
- The Holiday’s British cottage is preferred for Meyers houses; this kitchen receives a best-kitchen vote but Something’s Gotta Give is defended for space, storage and island layout. — Amanda Dobbins
- Lake Bell, Caitlin FitzGerald and Zoe Kazan receive no Apex endorsement. — Bill Simmons

- Prison-story pleasures include hierarchy, corrupt guards, protective groups, reading, terrified new arrivals, nicknames, respect codes, riot preparation, improvised shanks and sizing up cellmates. — Bill Simmons
- Prison slang and philosophy are admired; Jericho Mile and Mann’s recurring incarceration interests are compared. — Chris Ryan
- Deliberate capture as part of the plan is praised, compared with Seven, The Dark Knight, Silence of the Lambs and Face/Off. — Chris Ryan
- Shot caller is admired as a clear power label and proposed for football/baseball/front-office roles instead of bland job titles. — Bill Simmons
- The outdoor cage cells and their wide-shot composition are admired. — Bill Simmons
- Bulletproof-vest fakeouts and prepaid phones are beloved thriller ingredients; Howie’s unquestioning loyalty to Money is praised. — Bill Simmons
- The family’s move from Pasadena to Eagle Rock efficiently signals financial decline through Los Angeles geography. — Chris Ryan
- Prison vocabulary and parole-tattoo inspection details add authenticity. — Chris Ryan
- Bernthal’s anxious repeated agreements and restaurant confrontation are highlights, made funnier by later Wayne Jenkins associations. — Bill Simmons
- Lake Bell makes a limited role believable; her dating prospects with an imprisoned gang-leader husband are questioned. — Bill Simmons
- Money’s directive letter to his son is admired but its farewell tone explains why it seemed suicidal. — Bill Simmons
- Money’s changing facial hair and final horseshoe mustache compete with Benjamin Bratt’s large mustache. — Bill Simmons
