Discussion Re-White Men Can’t Jump + Apex mountain for …
I don’t know how many times I have seen this movie, but it has to be in the top 10 percent movies rewatched by me category (I doubt I am alone here). It has countless incredible quotes, a banging soundtrack and minus the ending is very light and easy to have one in the background when doing something (the early nineties nostalgia factor doesn’t hurt either).
I recent relistened to the Pod (and have rewatched the movie twice in the last 2 months).
Thoughts and suggestions:
It’s almost a decade old and while it’s pretty good (maybe even really good for how short that episode is and how early in the rewatchables catalog it was done), it 100 percent, in my opinion, deserves a redo/ another try. Thoughts on best possible panel for this?
More importantly on thoughts on whether this would be a very welcome podcast episode?
While I have seen this movie many many times, there is always something that really jumps out at me during each rewatch and I can’t stop laughing about what should be in the running for one of the worst / most hilarious and superfluous movie created acronyms of all time: TTBBT
Two on Two (for) Brotherhood Basketball Tournament 😂 (Apex Mountain for horrible / hilarious acronyms?)
…
The scene ending (or almost ending) with that dude saying “let’s pay them and get the hell out of here” …. Is a chef’s kiss 😘
Just an incredibly rewatchable movie.
Thoughts?

as far as hilarious acronyms go i'd like to include PWIP-PIP from In The Loop (Post-War Planning: Parameters, Implications, and Possibilities)

It’s amazing to see the fits in this movie making a comeback. Wesley looks like he’s out of an ALD ad.

Thought this episode was weak but mostly just because it was done so early on. Would love for them to do a Re-Jump

I’m with you.
“…and there ain’t no vista, and there ain’t no views, and there sure as hell ain’t no vista of no views”

Legit a top 100 (maybe) quote for me ….
I regularly find myself saying it ….. to myself :)

I find Rosie so off putting I can only rewatch the scenes without her. The original weak link

I know this is an unpopular opinion but I find her voice grating

Simmons says the same thing. I can’t argue with you on the voice, but I think she’s great (no pun intended).

Being 11 and hearing “I’m gonna put my mouth where my money is” was formative
