Just What is Apex Mountain: Rewatchables discussion thread

[kfoss99]

I had never seen "Saturday Night Fever" from start to finish. I knew the famous opening and dance scenes, I remember clips from cable, but never sat through the movie. A few weeks ago, I listened to the Rewachables Podcast for it on the train. About a week after that, my wife was watching it, so I finally saw it.

How is it a Rewatchable? Does everyone just forget about the last 10 minutes and remember the dance scenes? Did more people see the PG cut than dd the R cut? I'd argue it's a more depressing movie than "Requiem for a Dream."

It'd fit right in with Rock Bottom Month.

"All you need is a salad bowl and a potato masher and you got your shit together." It's pretty bad.

It’s raining frogs in the studio as Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey rewatch the 1999 film ‘Magnolia,’ starring Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Julianne Moore and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

I'm guessing this is just a re-broadcast from the 1999 movies podcast?

Yes

They're definitely doing Hardcore at some point. Bill references it too much not to.

Also, it will be a good excuse for me to finally watch it, whenever it is happens.

And here we go!

This falls in the listen to the pod/don't watch the movie category for me.

The movie is on tubi for those who want to watch it...if anyone falls into that category.

 

[Remagellan]

I'm watching it now, and the unintentional comedy factor is so high I'm shocked they didn't do it years ago.

Finally, been waiting for this one...

New @TheRewatchables — ‘Risky Business’ with me, @ChrisRyan77 and Guido the Killer Pimp. Our 14th Tom Cruise movie and the one that turned him into a star. Listen to this pod right away even if you have a trig midterm tomorrow.

Just circling back to note that this one was very good. Lots of sweet spots for Bill and Chris: Cruise, 80s sex comedies,, a director with a huge “what-if?” career. Enjoyed this a lot.

Not that every frame of the movie isn't burned into my memory, but this afternoon I'm using tonight's pod as an excuse to fire up The Running Man.
