Apex Mountain
First iteration of the Los Angeles Rams
In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:30:26Read transcript
- Heaven Can Wait is rejected for Beatty, with Shampoo favored for enabling total control of the next project and Reds proposed for the Oscar. The long interval to Ishtar qualifies what he did with the latter success.
- Speculation that Beatty used cocaine is immediately qualified as unknown; Christie’s1965 peak is restated. — Van Lathan
- Heaven/metaphysical body-swap movies prompt Chances Are love, indifference to Freaky Friday and exclusion of Dave as mere resemblance. This film is initially favored, but Big becomes the tentative alternative despite not involving heaven. — Bill Simmons
- Grodin’s peak is Midnight Run; Warden is probably not here. The first LA Rams era gets a possible yes. Cannon’s Showtime-Lakers public identity is an alternate to the film. Overtime Super Bowls get a no with Falcons joke.
- Rich-person mansions prompt Filoli, Citizen Kane’s Xanadu and the Batman TV mansion as candidates without a final resolved ranking. — Van Lathan
