How did this are made? Let's follow in the mediocrity of somear ar. Perap we'll find the answer to the question How did this get made? Hello peopleeople Virth and welcome to How did this Get madeade? Paul Sheer and we are in The summer of Extreme. Today we are talking about the two thousand film Verttical limit. which is a forty nine percent on the tomato meter. And what is it about? Well, You have Chris O'Donnell and Robin Tunney, who are brother and sister who lose their father in an extreme climbing accident. Well actually Chris O'Donnell cord and lets his father plummet to the ground. Now, years later, Chris Robin are strange, but they meet back up space of K two. Where Billionaire Paxton is coming to climb the mountain. Guess what He is not a good guy. He's actually a very bad guy and he decides to climb the mountain even though being warned would be too dangerous. Now he's trapped up there with Chris O'Donald's sister. So What happens? Chris O'Donnell mounts a rescue expedition with guy who kind of feels like Rambo of the mountain, Scott Glenn, Montgomery Wick, who suspects Vaugh murdered his wife on a previous K two climbing attempt. Oh yeah, and part of his rescue plan is that all the climbers must have unstable canisters of explosive nitroglycerin strapped to their back. Boy, o boy This is a movie. please look at my host, mis. Jason Mancer. Jason. How are you? Over two hours started watching it at eight o'clock this morning. Oh I don't know what's going on. I think I've lost my mind. Well, I'm glad to be able to talk to you, but I'm also thrilled to talk to our very special guest today. She's a comedian and actor who you might know from TV shows like Going Dutch, I Carly, and a Black Lady Sketch Show. She's also the award winning host of scam Godddess, The hip podcast and TV show about fraud and all those who practice in it Jason, you and I have been on our show. I'm of course talking about the scam goddess herself Lacey Moseley, welcome, Lacey. Hello, Paul, Jason, thank you for having me. Well, well, well, last time we met, we were together guesting on your show. Yeah. Yes, we were. And talking about scams. Now listen, y' y'all tricked me a little bit speaking of scams because I can't believe y'all got me watching this white ass movie during Black History Month Part two That's what we call June, Black History Month Part two, electric Boogaloo and y got be watching these white people. Honestly, like, climbing a mountain is a white person's scamp. Oh why? Why do you need to do it? We don't need to do it. Let the mountain stay there. We don't need to get on top Why these people's mountains Well, Lacey, you don't know this, but for reasons that are left unknown for the rest of us, we are covering extreme sports movies Y summer. People who love to parachute, people who love to do all sorts of nonsense and this qualifies a hundred percent. Well, I would also say it would also be a very white thing to do extreme things. Like I feel like most like very dangerous, like I'm jumping off of a satellite from space into Earth There are always these white people that are doing this. So I would say that this is Be a black woman is enough of an extreme sport for me. so I've just never felt the need. But I'm sure if I was a white man, like I would be jumping off of everything. you know. I would be just like free solo man, just climbing shit nobody asked me to climb, you know just for the hell of it This movie, you know at first I thought, is this movie successful? Not really in the United States, but it did gross two hundred fifteen million worldwide. this outside of the U Thousands money. Yeah. It is a movie that had some success. It was directed by the same guy directed Golden Eye and Casino Royale, so a good You know, good lineage here, but I also could tell that this is a movie that was put through like the two thousand ringer because it is it's stupid. I mean it is like you said earlier, it's so dumb. It's not you could see the meeting where they were like,, it's not enough that they have to rescue them. It's not enough that there's an avalanche What if every climber had to have like a bomb strapped to their chest like like speed? You know, like spepeed was such a big thing. There was a bomb on the bus. What if every climber has a bomb on their bus? This is an executive's fault for sure. they say.. They brought in a simple videoie about rescuing a sister and they were like, o, Speed's been doing great numbers guys. We can't get Keanu, but we can still at least put a bomb in here somewhere a leaky bx No that's the by the way and the bombs leak. That's the other thing is that it's not enough that they have canisters of nitro. If you put them in the sun, they leak. They they explode in the sun. So at a certain point as they're climbing Everest, they got to go find some shade. always you know a lot of trees on Everest, a lot of ways to get away from the bright sun. Why was there nitro up there? Do any I'm sure it was given a bit of exposition at some point. Does anybody remember whyy there was a tent full of absolute high level explosives. So I actually look this up So in nineteen ninety nine, Pakistan and India were in a real conflict. And so because the Pakistanis were like hidden up in the mountain, like they had some military people up there like just blowing randomly blowing up India like every now and then, they also had this explosive that they were planning to use on India that they weren't storing very well So it was it was a military weapon. wasaryap part of the climber's gear. Okay. I guess that makes sense. Yeah. This movie does touch on some of the political climate in such a like careless way. I mean there there are even it's not even a be or a C story. Yeah. the political environment between India and Pakistan not barely scratch the surface of. They basically just show it as like this is war every day. We're just going to fire on these guys like it is a de plot in this movie that there is a constant war going on. I think just to get you to this Nitro, when you get to the Nitro and we haven't even talked about the open, but when you get to the Nitro, they go in this tent And you would think, okay, well, it's Nitrogilson. they're all, you know, it's kept well. No, they are leaking in the tent. Nitro is leaking. It leaks on a man's foot. Yes, which It looks at a man's foot and then they take his boot off, throw the boot as if it's like a grenade and the boot just blows.. And they and by the way they don't show you them taking off his boot because I'm gonna bet that taking off the boot would have been the more extreme moment. If that thing is a literal grenade, like the movie posits that if nitro drips on anything, it becomes a massive weapon. like it could blow up a house Uh but they even if it's just thrown away into the snow You mean? It's not like it doesn't need it doesn't need an accelerant of some kind. It doesn't need fire. It doesn't need a you know, any kind of a wick or anything like that. It's just when it needs to blow, either in the sun or if you toss it, it's gonna blow Okay, so let's talk about this opening because this opening is absolutely wild, right? We start off on a beautiful CGI bird an eagleif Beautiful. Beautiful. That was so fake. It was insulting. This movie This movie reeks of fake at every given point. you're like, they were never on a mountain. This is all in the sound stage. They're hanging off that that rock in the beginning, I'm like, Oh, no one no one is a climber here. no one is out. This is all safe on a sound stage. Yes. But it really it looks cutting edge for the time when you think about that being twenty five years ago. Yeah, you're like wow Wow, this looks terrible. fake. as hell And you get into this moment where I guess bunch of climbers are climbing the same mountain in the same trajectory and someone's backpack falls off above our family, the dad, the son and the daughter. and that backpack sets off a chain of events. Now first of all I did do a little bit of research on this. This movie is hated in the climbing community for so many reasons First of all, everything that they do is completely wrong. E the terms, everything The one thing that they really stick on is nobody's backpack is falling off on a climb. like backpacks are not dropping from the sky and wiping out everyone on the wall. everyveryone below. I had to Google some climbing things because I was like, can you climb you have to be attached to everybody Everyone was attetached to do that everyones It took me a second to realize if they were a family because once we got from like the terrible bird, we have that conversation between like the main dude, the I don't know his name. The dad, Not the dad Chr. Chris Donald. The son and then I love that girl from the craft. Yeah. Rob Robin Tiny, she's great. Boy, one of my one of my true crushes fromere did she go she this is her time. Yeah. And she's around. I feel like she ends up I feel like on like a CBS procedural for you. The mentalist. The mentalist That's good. very long time. Yeah. They mentaliz in Queen. Prison break and the mentalist. She was putting in some major seasons on the. She's great. But in the beginning when they're on this mountain, first of all, they're hanging off like, they don't gotta care in the world. Aren't I supposed to be climbing this? And then they're like talking to each other and they're talking about songs and they're singing songs to each other and having to guess the songs. I thought they were in a relationship. It took me a second before I was like,h, y'all are siblings that's not Lacy had to check it multiple times because there's a moment where they get together in base camp. I'm like, is he going to kiss her? Like are they in love? They are acting like They are in love like no one gave them the memo that they were brother and sister, I feel like. there is or I feel like they were given the note. you know, like we don't really have any like sex relationships in this movie. So really your love is going to have to carry the whole movie. What you guys have now it's not incest, but Make sure you let us know you love each other. You know, you guys are your best friends. Like it is this whole scene feels like Like I feel like it's day one and they all just met You know, like it feels so and they are supposed to be a father and two children. They all also appear to be I'm going to say six years apart from each other total The dad looks like he's the same age as Chris O'Donnell. It's crazy The only thing that makes a dad a dad is that he's carrying a whistle on the mountain to yell at other climbers. Like I don't think that that is a thing. I don't think that anyone blows a whistleike, hey hey, listen enough guys, you're doing a bad job. Like he's like a traffic cop on a mountain which I just felt like it was such a like Fny, weird specific. And again, yes, I did Google it. That is not a thing. No one is blowing whistles on the mountain. You can't communicate that way, but you're connected to this family. You love this family and then bo they kill the dad. They kill the dad in this moment When they kill this dad in the open I was I was like, o wow, okay, this movie is going for it And I know that is not the response that they wanted to elicit, but there's this big moment where he's like, My sister, my father, my sister, my father, shouldould have cut my father loose and save my sister. Oh we all die backack and forth. And it's just zoom in close upps of their face and then they zoom out to that horrible CGI and then they zoom back in on the horrible closeu on their face. It's nowhere in the same universe And then when the dad like when he cuts the rope finally, I'm so pissed. like the cutting of the rope was the tension moment. Maybe even seeing him fall. I would have taken a corny like, I love you before the last piece of the rope like twinges away and then he falls to his death. Instead, we get a smash cut to a body like theood under the ground Is this a lootie tos? You like, meeet me, the dad's dead. Wh Moving on, Now we' timea And by the way, I thought I would have loved it if Road Runner was there. O the dad when he smashes into the ground just pulls out a sign says, ouch. But the dad was also very close to the side of that mountain. I was like At certain point, couldn't he just like lock back in like or grab onto the sideess what they were trying to do. They were trying to get her to lock back in because she was closest to the. Oh my God. No, this was crazy. Here's what I will say and Im and I'm This I'm guessing, is based on there's an incredible story and a documentary two climbers who are trying to climb a mountain. O of them gets injured, they get separated. They're still connected by one big long line They get separated in a storm and one man is hurt and the other man doesn't know, and he has to cut him loose And so but the man who is c but both of them fall and survive but have to find independently their ways down the mountain. This is one of the most incredible documentaries I've ever seen and it's called Touching the Void. Oh yeah it feels very similar to this setup scene of like, the only way for me to survive is to kill this other person and what what a mind fuck that is And and I feel like that's a great way to start the movie. I would think that wed come back in a more fulfilling way at the end. We'll talk about how it does. And it just seems like We'll just do it again at the end. and for no real reason The thing that I am kind of blown away by is this the beginning of the movie tells you everything you need to know You're gonna hear a lot of screaming, a lot of grunting and a lot of slipping. because this movie is all about people slipping. There is so much ye character in the movie at some point hangs in mid aair Yeah, That's important. Ebody, everybody hangs in mid aair either off of an ice ax, off of a harness, they are helicoped Yes, Yes They're constantly hanging in midair. And then I'm thinking if y'all experienced climbers, don't y'all all know you're not supposed to be kicking when you hanging like that? Like you're actually adding more momentum picking looser. You're making the rope loose. Now it's down to the person at the bottom just kicking away like they running in place.s like, sir, what are you doing?

Rules and restrictions may apply My favorite moment in this film is a character that doesn't come back but we see the dad crash done years later, now we're in a snowblind. We meet like Chris O'Donnell's friend and this guy, all he does is slip and fall and break his leg real bad. done. That's it. this. Basically, I don't know if they need to like prove to us that mountains are dangerous. Everyone, nobody can stand up on a mountain for more than five to ten minutes in this mayy without. I feel like they were pitching the movie and they were like, you don't understand. So many people die on Everest or whatever, K whatever every year, you know, it's dangerous blah blah. But I feel like somebody must have been like, you know what U It sounds kind of boring. You know what I mean? L it's it doesn't sound action packed enough. you have to understand the mountain is the shark in jaws. right Every it's you don't know when it's going to come get you. And I'm like I'm pretty sure I know. You have to like slip and fall that the assistant who slips and falls and breaks his legs is like in a cartoon Yeah this movie is all silly goofball cartoon gags, but like off of the edge of a mountain, it is like Wileie Coyote running off the edge of the mountain and being like Wh I also don't understand why he couldn't just live at the military The whole national geographic plot seemed so unnecessary. and then they had to kill or his assistant had to trip and fall in a rock. you know for what? just so they could go down to the base so he could get medical care so then he could see that his sister was here so they could like I feel like we could have cut out so much shoe leather. This movie' way too long But so long and we to see those snow leopards play. He's in that snow bllind. Here's what I'll say about your original pitch, Jason. like climb K two, it takes about sixty to seventy five days, like two months. and this movie, seemingly, if I don't know anything, if I'm not researching anything, it seems like you can pretty much nail K two in about twelve hours. Yeah and that's the premise of the film is like, oh yeah, we're gonna to go up real quick. We're not only going to go up real quick, we're gonna to get it and time it with a flight going overhead. And then I was thinking, how many airlines are flying over K two? That also seems incredibly dangerous. And for them to wave, the flight would have to be very low. Y. It's not tal about thousand feet, babbe. Yeah commercial airliners aret flying between in between K two Yeah, yeah, we'll get down low. It's not like they' they're landing down there. And so the whole movie is like they've been up there for twelve hours and technically it would take them about don't even know I don't even know where they are on the mountain, but they seem to get everywhere by helicopters very easily. Yeah. Well, except for the time the helicopter almost chops That that one woman Bandana woman in half. Can we talk about how much Bandana woman suffer? Bandana woman. Before I get to Bandana womoman, I do have to say when the helicopters were flying over, you do see this kind of like hippie encampment of like other like these these are the salt of the earth white dude campers. We're not like that rich white due campers. We are also on these people land that we don't need to be on, but we naked with our with our penises out in the snow. So you know we love the mountain and we love kissing on the mountain. They love it They treat the mountain with respect to. Okay the mountain dogs. They make some kind of piss moonshine and then they love the mountain real bad. They're doing like they created a still to make moonshine like their're haawkeye in mash. It's crazy. So you got your good white dudes who love the mountain and then you got your evil white dudes who want to get up the mountain to make a commercial And that commercial is worth our lives.' like then Bandana womoman, who's just like the nurse, they're like, okay, Bandana womoman went through it. She was sexually harassed. And then the man who was being creepy to her, one of the mountain you know, native white mountain people, they were like, we climbing this mountain and you gotta go with the man who's the creepiest to you Also you go fall off the mountain a few times and a helicopter almost go chop your ass up while we trying to get these other two men on the mountain. Like this lady went at one point they are like, why are you doing this? And she's like obviously the money I want off of this mountain. She's the only reason she's doing it is to get away from these people. is to get enough money to get away from these fucking mani. lady on this mountain. Is she trying to pay for the freedom? She does not appear to be one of the climbers. She's trapped I don't know what how they got everybody up there because again, it does seem like it would be tricky to get everybody up to this base camp. But meanwhile, the rich guy, he's bringing up like A full bbecue. People are having like a fourth of July party up there. They're all drinking at high altitude, which just even from going to Colorado, I know that that's not a good idea. So like this is not this is not a good vibe up there And barbecue, don't y'all have to shit in bags and carry your own poop? Y'all about to have some crazy poop going to the mou I don't want to rib poop when I'm going up the mountain. to be I don't want to cl two with a bellyull of ribbs. I mean, I mean like I got I've gotta guess that they're just, I mean, you can't be on the mountain like taking all your winter gear off to shit. I mean, are they just shitting in their pants? Oh, well, Jason, here's the thing, this mountain very warm because these motherfuckers never cover their faces. N their faces are and about ye Their jackets all in. Like why can I see your silhouette, bro? You are on a mountain. I'm like they were like they still gotta be sexy. They were like they still gott to be sexy. We need to see Bill Pats shoulders. needed to see those adults ill Paaston, for the twelve hours that he iss up there, and I love Bill Paxon. I hisis beard seems to grow in thicker and richer by the end of the movie, I'm like, I don't think you how long is beenitting there? No And we know it's only twelve hours. like he really, but like no one. Bill Paxson's in a in a like underground in a snow cven and his hood is down He's like his jacket is slightly unzipped. I would be zipping every part of me up. Th And they would also be carrying like a hundred pounds on their back. Yeah. They would be they would be carrying so much stuff that it's crazy that they're all just like hereere we are hiking up to the hereere we are summoning K two in my fall Patagonia. Absurd. Tuly like thank God, I got my fleece There's one there's one moment where Scott Glenn says, you look like shit to Chris O'Donnell.m like he actually looks great. Like Chris ODonnell looks like he he has been out on a like a summer vacation. likeike he is listening Honestly, if anybody looks like shit, it's Scott Glenn Scotlland But Scott he's here. He's like a Rambo guy who's kind of' like living Montgomery Wick liivving off the grid, you know, and just waiting, I guess is he waiting for revenge or does he just live at base camp I would hope to go find his wife. I think it's that. I think his wife disappeared on this mountain some years ago. He has been trying to find her ever since. I think is what the movie wants us to is why he's there And he he makes a very weird choice to shave off his beard before he goes up Which also be like strange. I was about to say that like, isn't that for warmth? What do you mean? You go You have to shave and go out. freshly shaven, pour stven Camus snow ass mountain. I feel like that was like Scotlland showed up with a giant beard and it was like, yeah, this is perfect for like the hermit, the mountain man, the guy and they were like Yes, God, we're gonna need you to shave that so we can tell who's who in the movie. And he's like, But the beard will tell everybody that I'm me, you know? I feel like they were like, no, no, we don't want beards, no beards in the movie. He was trying to have his Oscar moment and the girls were like, No, we need to see that mud. This movie is about sex, the tightest jackets you've ever seen Okay They're like they're in Nike climbing. The thing that I love about a movie like this is like Paxton is liable. Like when he gets off the thing, he's kind of goofy and you're like, okay, how can this guy be evil? And they don't really even try to ratchet it. It just like goes from likable fungi to insane person. Like he his turn to insanity is so quick that at a certain point, I'm like, is he gonna eat people? Because he's looking at people like You can't get in my way. I'm like, what's the end game? You can't get here alone. And what you realize is this is the second time he's done this because as the movie unfolds, you realize that he did the exact same thing with the party of climbers that Scott Glenn's wife was leading and Bill Paxton selfishly used all of the drug to keep himself alive and let everybody else die, you know? So he's a villain every step of the way. It's interesting. he's always cast in many ways as the rich villain like in Titanic B love. Yeah. Yeah, he's kind of always that rich except for What's he's the inverse twister He is Car Eles who's the rich villain and he is like the almost the Scott Glenn Um, the real guy on the ground, you know One thing about the movie, especially like you bringing up the documentary you were talking about how that was really interesting about having to cut someone loose. Boy, oh boy is everybody ready to see them muck die in this movie. Everybody's like, o, they dying. Oh kill them. Oh, their leg hurt, good is dead. Oh, the avalanche happened, but we contacted them on the radio speaker. They still gonna die up there. We ain't helping them know Every step of the way everyone's trying to be like, okay, well, we' just gonna kill you. What's the point of climing a partartner? everything're gonna let you die? Well and it really is, it's such a casual relationship to human life You know, and and that's the thing is too the movie is The movie is over two hours long, which is to be clear, too long. forty five per could have been cut. And part of the problem is they set up So many characters only to kill all of those characters.ot I mean, with barely any investment in them as people, you know, the brothers young Ben Mendelson, you a young Ben Mendelson in this movie, which I was so loved loved seeing him, but he's dead. S later. like his brother Cyril Ceal later Pal, you're dead I was like, oh, I really wished we'd had either more character moments that were fun with some of these people, or we didn't spend so much time in the exposition setup phase because this movie would have felt a lot better at ninety minutes. Yeah ye. Yeah. because it's a very simple idea. They just go out to a rescue and it's like and they're with an evil guy. but I think that they're trying so hard to make it feel real, but it is so fake on so many levels. I mean, this is, you know, the free solo guy, Alex H on Honalold, right? Yeah. He is referred to this as the worst depiction of rock climbing in any film. He was like the least realistic, but I think that they're trying so hard to make you believe And the other part of it is it's like, yes, people die doing this It's not like It's not like an action movie death. Like peopleople are just like flying off the sid of buildings. People are losing toes and hands. I feel like that's why the explosives were introduced Because I feel like it They were like dynamic enough. This said like you get a demon in your lugs, that's not enough. them coughing blood, not enough for us. This's enough for the crown. They said not enough for us. We need people exploding off of the mountain as they fall. I mean, when they introduced the idea the only way they could do a good flare is by draining the blood out of a dead person's body and then shooting the flare up so the blood just explodes on the mountain. I was like, first of all, isn't like the whole thing of a flare is it's going to go up and we're going we're We're going to see where it is, but this is like It was so like dark to drain them of. I knew it was gonna happen. And I was like, what is wrong with me? or maybe I just noticed the patterns of this movie, but she was like trying to boil like ink from pens and like some freezing cold ice and the little flame was so low underneath. And he was like, you gotta get it to a boil. I said, they're about to cut that man open to use his blood A man who was a man who a man who was murdered. murder. Bill Paaxon's character. Yes Like murder. they didn't just let him die as he was dying. Bill Patson comes and violently kills him by by putting like air in his vein right with like a silent way to go. They're already freezing up there. My favorite part of him is he's like the tour guide to the rich guy and he's going is gonna make all the rules. And when they have the little memorial at the end, they kind of, the camera pans around the memorial of everybody who died in the movie It's like the reverse love boat. you get to see everyone that you've met along the way. And his is a glamor shot among glamor shots. It's not a casual photo. It looks like he's like, you know, like come to camp so and so I'll be your instructor. Dave like it's so like he's such a pretty boy. And I like him but I also feel like He like everyone in this movie is relatively rational, right? They're all like I mean, well, they don't solve things rational, But like it is a funny thing because like why would Bill Paxxton say no to the guy? G a gu look there's a really terrible storm And I know he wants to have the plane see him overhead, but I still don't understand like what Bill Paxson gets out of dying. Like it's like if he had a death wish, it's something, but like I don't understand like his mentality is like why is he also I also don't understand his drive. Right. They made an attempt to explain his drive real quick and it was like Before they go up the mountain, he was like, yeah, I got all of my scientists on this and I'm must outscience the mountain and the weather. And they're like, we got an eighty two percent chance of living. He was like, I take those odes on the stocks market man ' I'm rich and I love stocks. And then then the ominous wit comes out with all his hair shit and he's like, who is gonna live if y'all are gonna die? And then he just disappears into the shadows and the cloud of you know snow. And then when they get up there, everybody's like, Abra The storm is gonna to happen. The storm's gonna to happen. and Bill's like, we gotta shoot this commercial. And then they keep going. And he's like, Hey, man, they said the storm is like five minutes away. like y really need to come down. He was like, but what about the commercial? And And they come back one more time they're like the storm turn around, the storm is behind you. Y'all need to run. And then the tour guy's like, Hey man, I don't wantan to die. You told me I'm in charge. He was like, Yeahah, I said you were in charge. But when I sit in charge, I'm do what I say for the commercial. Otherwise when we get sit in the bottom of this mountain you ain't gonna have no job because I'm a ruiner. You're also never gonna get to shoot this commercial if he is dead. Like Re guy says that. He's like, what did we need to go down and be safe and Bill was like, this is more than the commercial. I also need to do this me My life statement. This is my life statement, he says. And it's like to die for a commercial? I don't even think this is a union commercial. I'll be honest. I' like before social media too. This go maybe go viral on social media, but I mean There's a moment that I love where you know, he has this base station full these scientists who are navigating everything, right? So it looks like he's going to have all these people really helping him, but they are like Like like when they cut to the referees in New Jersey who have to watch all the NBA games, it's like, these guys are communicating to them and they can see everything happening on the mountain. I'm like, how? they're up on this mountain. They're like, oh, oh oh they went down a thing. They They're sliding now. I'm like, you don't know this. They can't even communicate this quick. And then'm like Chris O'Donnell comes in and's like, Hey, u I know Morris Code. Okay, they're trapped, they sliip down the thing. they're at three hundred thousand feet. This is where they are. I'm like, notothing could have been communicated that quickly in Morris Code. That would have been like an hour of Morris Code Walking talking not working, but it's working well enough for y'all to do Morris Code. And then when Homegirl is locked up in the ice cave with Bill Paxton and mister Dying tour guy, she's like, me and my brother, my dad taught us Morris Code when we were kids. Bep boo, boo boo, boo beep. And Bill Paxton is talking the whole time while she's listening to the code and it was pissing me off becausecause she listed to code it' like a clack Boo, boo boo He's yelling over that. Hey, on' you learn how to do Morris Ce? Hey, what's your story? He that for later. the beeps and the boop poops. Yes. and you would have to be listening to it like letter by letter. And writing and probably writing it down to be like, okay, this is what. it took Chris minutes, but this is what's up, you know, Chris O'Donnell gets a novel out of like he's just hearing it off the side of his head as if it's like it's also it appears as though the he and his sister are the only people at K two base camp who know Morse code. That seems baseline level knowledge that this type of adventurers would have this skill set. Everybody must know Morsecode, but everybody's like, What? I learned it in boy Scouts. What are we talking about But also when they have to communicate later, Chris O'Donned just sends her a note this isays like Boom! What the hell was there? Oh God. What? You're supposed to know that means weve about to put nitroglycerin over your head. Like also You could write a little not like, hey, move away from the opening. We about to blow it up. What do you mean? Boom? I saw that and I was like what they? What also like from where, like they don't know where to hide. They don't how do they know where the placeacement? I guess they figured homeomeboy's bloody spot was gonna be the placeement. Yeah. But I mean, like it could have very easily startarted in Avalanche. Yeah so much. I thought they was gonna be blowown the bititss underneath I was like It like a little dash and come backag. Eactly That's all you needed. was a little bit of nitro. They're pouring it in like they like they're doing a science experiment where they make like the like whatever the bonsid are like. I I feel like they have gotten a helicopter up to where the blood bag had exploded Like I don't I didn't feel like they needed to climb to them at that. They said the air was too thin for a helicopter to get up to twenty eight thousand feet. They could only go to twenty one and then dangle people off a cliff and almost chop up bandana lady. That's all the helicopter could do I guess so. they also they also have all this information about where they are, but the plan is let's split up They have a group of people All right guys, let's all split up. You two, you two, you two. It's like like they're exploring like a haunted house. it just gives them a chance to kill everybody in these moments where people don't have to have major reactions. It's like because When they all go off, it's like, well, everyone's going to die. L like every like there's no everyveryone does almost every dies in order to save J Paxton and Robin Tunney. Yeah. the live. It's give it two thousands. I don't see. noobody Brown made it down. Okay? Oh yeah. Nobody Brown made it down.

You know, which again, not that anyone cares that much, but this whole idea of like having high altitude pulmonary Edema, right? That really only happens like after you've been up there for like days and days and days. All right, so okay, fine, we'll take that away. But he's giving himself so many shots, like one shot would have done it. Like one shot would have been like fine. like he's stealing all the shotsle. And I love that it's individual syringes It's like a pack of individual syringes for what is it? four syringes or whatever? Yeah. And I was like, what on earth? they could do you could carry so much more of this drug with you just in a vial. Everyone could have had like four of them. Everyone could have had plenty of dicks But when you find out that Scott Glenn is on a murder mission, like that to me, like this is like where there is a good UV in here it's like, okay, I'm I'm here only for straight up revenge. I'm going to come up here and I'm going to kill the man who killed my wife And the fact that his wife is still frozen with inside the mountain, don't know how realistic that is, but also insane that she's like part of the mountain now that is his dead wife just frozen like Han solo. She's standing up like with the prayer hands just corner like so preserved. It's crazy She didn't even lie down when she died. She was like,, let me stand up and die real quick. my little prayer hands Now I don't understand at this point too why Chris O'Donlld's like So adamant that he can't kill this guy. Like there's a part of me it's like, Hey, man, I just want to get my sister out I don't care about Bill. Like it like it's not like this is not her boyfriend. it's not anything. like he has no connection like, but he really puts his foot down. and and then you're hoping that you're going get this like fun battle, but the end of the movie is just like I found it to be a little bit anti cllimactic because when he finally gets down there. There's no punches thrown. There's no nothing. It's just kind of like All right, we're gonna climb up together and he's going to take a pick ae him And then they just do the opening sequence again except this time Scott Glenn. the new father figure to these young people who comes and saves that manages to save them, he cuts the rope so that both he and Bill Paxton fall to their deaths, which I was kind of like, okay, maybe and I'm sure in the meeting they were like, guys, I had a great idea. It's booknds. It starts with the rope being cut. it ends with the rope being cut exact. Oh man. rightait give another line. The only thing I don't like about this is at the end of the movie, two white guys die. That doesn't That doesn't add up for me. That's strange. No, we're gonna blow a brown guy up right before. Okay, okay, I work work with that Yeah, the thing that's so interesting is like if you're looking at it from a likeike thematic point of view R Chris O'Donald did it first and he's been paying these the price of that decision, although he seems kind of fine with it. And and Robin ironically, he does feel very like Robin sister is not sister like I hate you because he killed my dad. And he's like it had to be done or whatever. He's like, whatever, you And I'm like this maybe would make sense if in the opening scene they were like fifteen and seventeen? Sure. They are adults, you know, who I feel like very much would have known what was going and absolutely should be wrecked by it. They' again, they seem like strangers. They just everybody see everybody's a stranger, even the siblings. I also love there's a line in the beginning. They haven't seen each other for years, right? It's been a very long time since they've seen each other and she's like, you've never visited Dad's grave. And I'm like, how would you even know? Are you going every day? Like I have a motion sensitive camera on the grave. I know It's like like I get like my doorbell A. neverever had alert But like, so at the end of the movie, you would either want to see him cut it again or have her do it. So she also understands like, okay, I understand the situation you're in. I mean, obviously she's Basically like hypothermic going through like you know, edemas, whatever. but like this like it's a severe misunderstanding of mountain climbing as. Yeah, at the end of the day, we got to cut people off this. all this is what we do. We cut them off. cut eighty percent of asents end in some people being cut loose becausecause you know, we're all usually dangling eight people to a rope By the way, I'm gonna guarantee you, those ropes hold more than I don't know roughly three hundred pounds because that's really like they're like, this rope can't handle more than three hundred pounds. It's like yeah a feeling and feeling always the anchors are always terrible. It's like one single device is in the crack or it's they've tied the rope to an ice ax and just put that in the snow And then they're also doing it with their like bare hands. like they're pulling up a rope of a body with their own hands. It's like, I'm just thinking about rope burn. Aren't they like frozen up there? Like Ebody is so strong In the sh to be able to do what they're doing to be able to hang off of it is so hard to hang off of something with your full body weight, pull yourself up and over so long to hang so hard to hang off of a wildly out of control helicopter two people managed to hang on to a a helicopter that Pereening out of control. It would toss them off like rag dolls. And one lady bandeta lady got lightly chopped by a helicopter propeller. You know how it just like gets you a little bit and cut your jacket when the helicopter propeller passes by your body? And you know, they were like, it's gonna be so great 'cause the down from your jacket will just starting Peeping right out. It's going be so cinematic Also, I just felt like they I get it, it's an action movie, but I think that they wildly underestimated people's attention spans. And so they were like fuck plot, fuck like any conversation and knowing about any of these characters. We have to treat this like an action horror almost where like every scary thing that happens, sometimes they would be like, w, Chris is averted. We got the nitroglycerin in the dark Let's have a drink to celebrate. Oh, we slid off this mountain, but Bandana girl saved Nasty misogynist man's life. Oh don't worry, Nasty misogynist man gonna die right now through a random avalanche. Coom! Like why? ultate was saying the mountain is jaws. Y The mountain is the killer. The mountain is shark, like the avalanches, the explosions there They are creating such an unstable environment. They're putting base camp at risk. They're putting everybody at risk by just setting off that many explosives on a mountain like that. J scroling that shoe. I mean, like it's like because everything is gonna create an avalanche. Here's the thing that I did love. My favorite line in the entire movie. Im on here French Canada Somet thates she' Canadian. lent She's obviously French. Oh, that is that I thought was one of the best honestly, some of the most descriptive character development we get in the entire film. I more about her. My favorite character is her bandana The French Canadian Bandana woman, I think is terrific because they also have my favorite line at the end when they do manage to save Robin Tiny and they've gotten her back to base camp. And keep in mind, Bandana woman while also doing climbing stuff and getting almost chopped by a helicopter blade is the camp's medic So she's taking care of Robin Tunney and Chryis O'Donnealll comes in and he goes, How is she? And she says, amazing I was like, what? She However she is, she is definitely not not a amazing. She bl Two minutes ago. Exactly, she's for sure gonna die probably. but amazing seemed like such a strange line Well, also just the fact that they kiss in front of her body. like so she is recovering over there and they're like this is their moment for their first kiss, like Chrisa Donnell and Bandana womoman. like and it's like, oh, just do that outside the tent or get somewone get away from like it's a little D't kiss. about Don't kiss How about You haven't created enough of a bond to kiss. This movie hasn't seeded this at all I the director really thought and this is going on nerves too. this could have also shaved off sometime. Bro Why are we lingering on everybody's face for extra like miating eight seconds. Like they've done dialogue. It was given like its the Tyl of Perry edit where we got to get to twenty two minutes so I can get the syndication. This movie needs to be two hours so linger on their faces linger on eye contact. What is this director's thing against a two shot? He not doing a two unless he's in the wide. He's not even giving me no dirty coverage. Like every time we cut to somebody's face it's just that. wereere you shooting this acted to a tennis ball we allall never in the same room because why are we cutting it directly to people's faces? like they not in the same room. What is this? And it kept happening and it kept zooming on people's faces as to be like, this is romance. This is fear. Also you can't the same like sexual romance cut on the brother and sister's faces looking at each other. That's why it's confusing because I was like, are they gonna fuck? And it's like no, I guess I just brother and sister who miss each other, but those cuts when you leave it too long, it feels like there is something under the surface. The only person it worked on is Bill Paxton because when he gets crazy, like when he's like when he looks like he's about to eat her or something, it's like I'm like, Yeahah, I'm all like I don't that's I came crazy. but my notes I was like, oh, I wish Paxxton had been this crazy and chewy the scenery the whole time. You know what I mean? I wish that it had been because the first the movie again, is two hours long and the first hour is exactly lacy to what you're saying, so long lingering shots that are seem like pointlessly like not they're not setting anything up. I've seeGI Eagle for such a long time. I'm like the stock foot of even the snow leeopard. It's like, what are we doing here? I don't understand all these like it's I think it's like to show you the maesty. magesty. We only got eighty pages, but don't worry. we got turn it into what twenty we're done with all these random shots that we need. And to your point, Jason about Bill Paxon becoming crazy man and to you was well chewing the scenery, Paul U this line, I wrote this down when Bill Paxson is having his moment where he's like, I'm going to throw all caution to the wind. We're ignoring base camp. We're all going to die for this commercial and I'm gonna bully'all into it. He Bill Paxson says Oh, you thought the mountain was just gonna lift up her skirt for us. My favorite mine. Wh Wh? It's It's so gross. L that aw. That made me go, I never wantna mountain climb because now you've made it into this thing where you're you're saying you're gonna fuck this mountain. you're conquering this mountain. It's like it gave me a whole different taste of what a mountain climbing is about. He's like intntimating, what do you think the mountain's gonna give consent? What are we doing here Oh my God, like there is so much here I guess like he's supposed to be Richard Branson becausecause Richard Branson at this point is like the virgin guy, not a virgin, but the owner of Virgin Megador Virgin, everything. so I feel like he had the planes. and at that point, he was known for doing these extreme things But I do feel like It is Like he's like he's also killed people on this mountain that didn't find out that Bill Paxson has killed other people and his keeps on going up. like so'll just keep on killing more and more people is just a really wild character. Well's also like it' and it's also in service of as you keep pointing out lately, a commercial. It's not like right. Oh, and we're going to myre the reserves, the oil reserves that are going make us so much richer or we're gonna to find the fountain of youth or we're going find, you know what I mean? Like it's not like they're search of something absolutely game changing for them, they are just trying to shoot a commercial That is absolutely makes him seem even crazier. But this really is also peak adrenaline junky like nonsense, you know, people doing crazy shit just because it can be done And you know what would have helped Homegirl's plot? Was her name Eileen Aley? Oh the girl? No the aner. Anne. So it would have helped Anne so much as a character if when she was talking about spreading her father's ashes on K two, she had the ashes with her Yeah And And then that made sense because otherwise the whole time that she's going up with crazy ass Bill, I didn't understand why she kept agreeing with him. And then after he murders Homey, she's like, hits him for look like Yeah me like that Okay let's get his blood. What? So fast, girl. Like Oh And that man, you should have killed that man in the beginning because Bill Paxon got to that cave and immediately became Segle. and all of a sudden all the shots of him were him under like like he was clunched over underneath like rocks. ' like leering at everybody like I need all that debt by the way. I is I wish he had gold buried up there. I wish he had gold and he was just didn't get his gold because I would buy that more than the commercial. Oh my. It it does feel like K two is Mount Doom in this And that is this is the fellowship is trying to real I mean Chris O'Donnell would be a great SamwMGes. Yeah This is my favorite part too. Obviously, you know, whenever you do a movie like this, you have to put the real people in. So they put that guy Ed Ed in there. he's the guy who looks the most uncomfortable on camera because like when Bill Paxson gets off the plane, he's like, Ed beer It's honor to meet you. Elliot Vaugh, nice to meet you. Hey you wouldn't believe this guy Five times up Everest. O the only men to climb twelve of the world's fourteen highest peaks, all without oxygen. Rock on By comparison, all of us are merely amateurs It's a real honor, Ed. Welcome to base camp. Welcome to base camp. Like it's like it's like he's like he's not an actor right. He's a real guy He's a real guy. That makes sense why they left him 'causeuse they were like, you are too good to go with us up the mountain mister. goodood guy who can survive. Youve stayed out here so you don't have to act. Good luck up there. you know It's like and and but there is something really funny about this. I was again, things I was reading last night was Ed is, I guess becoming like the technical consultant on this movie, but he Like he did have like a crazy disaster where he was escorting a rich guy up the mountain and that guy lost both of his hands and was not able to grasp the line on the descent. Like So like this guy is like, yeah, yeah, this is kind of a fun story. He literally like went through A like a shocking scary thing and it was like, Good luck. He doesn't he couldn't say like, hey, be careful up there When I was up there just a couple of years ago, guy lost his hands.' doesn't give him any words of warning, doesn't act as any like baseline of like It's dangerous. It's like, no, he's like, go for it, my friend But I'm not gonna do it, but y'all get out there. I mean, it's crazy to have that. L a guy who literally has been through trauma being like, Hey, no problem This is this is the two thousand the very beginning of the two thousand. soic was very in right. I feel like he probably didn't even get a script. They were like, we're doing this mountth movie. We only need you to shoot for a week. You got like four scenes and then they're like, E go. and they just told them what to say. But you also worked the grill in the camp and you serve and you served the buds Budwiseers up. You know what really pissed me off about base camp I was like, I get that there was an action movie they were trying to have these funny moments that they shoehorned in there that were wildly inappropriate at the time So when they're at base camp and the avalanche happens, the first one, they at base camp are like, oh my God, this one lady just starts crying uncontrollably louduck did, they did they did And everybody looking at her like, can you shut up? And eventually they do tell her like, can you shut up or like get out of the here with the hooting and hollering? Everybody's so sad, right And then they get communication and they're like, Ohh my God, they're not dead. This is amazing time we see base camp, they're like, yeah, they're dead, but they trapped so they as good as they. We' helping them M like pack their sh just have peace. seeee later. Well they also like there only three of them aren't dead. The rest are Like they lost a bunch of people. Oh and that's what's crazy is like People are dying constantly and everybody's just kind of like, a, all right. L because no one knows each other. I mean, that's really what it is, right? Scotland doesn't know you know doesn't know the siblings. Yeah. So like Scotland doesn't know them, but he know their father, right? But it doesn't seem like that really even plays into too much. They're on a mission where everybody on the mission doesn't know each other and or has met each other just like twelve hours before and then it's like brother and sister who would have the most bond, they are separated, so they can't communicate. And then you just have a straight up villain who is like, you can't have anything with him. It's like no there's no emotional stakes. like everybody is like a bunch of ha choices that make it even harder. Like I feel like the movie suggests but doesn't follow through on that maybe Robin Tony and Bill Paxton have a romantic relationship you said in the beginning. Yeah. They hint at it. they have they share kind of a chaste kiss at one point. And I was like, wait, are they a couple? Are they not? And in which case, I would have been if they were romantically involved, then I'd be like, I understand why Robin Tiny is maybe making bad choices because She's connected to this guy emotionally. It's not just a job for her where because otherwise, I agree she would be siding with is it Tom who's the team leader or whatever or make her in a relationship with Tom. G. then like when he dies, it becomes a moment or even make the crazy millionaire Be duplicitous in some way. I think that that's like his charm is like, hey, I'm here to make this work. Be a nice guy and then reveal that you're evil because all you're really doing Besides that is you're just watching people slip, fall scream. and just go You in a very bad like green screen environment. Yeah. It's like watching the Sims die. L I have no connection to any of these people and it's like even the vineyt where it's like we have the guy who's Muslim and he's gott to stop and pray and the other guys' like, Hey I know you got to pray to Meca, but we also got to climb this mountain real quick because we don't got a lot of time. And then they have this weird conversation about religion that makes no sense. And I guess it's supposed to be foreshadowing to their death. I don't even know but we're not Oh yeah, they blow up. conversations seemed to keep happening. One that really pissed me off and this is a director's choice too is when they were loading up to get on the helicopter to do their chopy ash drop off, one, that could have been a moment where they all bonded togetherbe give something give them something, but they did it. they just all split up and move on. But while they're loading that helicopter, Bandama Lady O'Donnell have this moment where they he's like, Bandana lady, why are you coming on this trip, Bandana lady? And she's like, I'm a slave to Bill Paxton and I'm about to buy my freedom. But this whole conversation could have happened while they were loading up. They had a separate cut of loading things onto the helicopter where no conversation is happening and' another cut to like them individually being shot in once, you know, and like learn lesson from law and order. it do the exposition while you're doing the act while you're doing the action and then tie that weird joke with the foot stretching in right after. I could have cut that sound so much. It was bothering the fuck out of me, but it kept happening throughout the thing. And like you said about Bill Paxson's evvil manan character, I would have lik to see the duplicity as well. Show me that smiling guy but the whole time hiding this de If he's gonna murder the guy who because we already knew he was going to murder him because the second they landed in the ice cave, Hy started coughing like And then R Pxton looked at him like Seo like, o, I'm killing you. And by the way, just put context, this movie takes place in less than twelve hours. Everyone loses their goddamn mind. Like they go Bunkers, bonkers. Like he coughs once and it's like, all right, we're done. I wouldn't have been surprised if he had started to try and eat that guy. Like this is what we're doing Also how they run out of if it takes days to climb this damn mountain, how y'all running out of fire already? Y'all had your backpacks on. how you running out of supplies already? Oh well, because you know why? Because this is my again, like they start off the movie, they're doing that thing where like Robin Cheny is like going across this crevas And then the minute they get off, there's a scene with like her and the millionaire and they're both eating and drinking so much. I'm like, maybe you should like save some of this. Like he's eating a bar, She's drinking water. L I'm like, I don't think you're doing that much like chowing down after like you like,, climb for ten minutes. I was like like I feel like they used all their supplies immediately. they did not know And they also are going up with one bottle of water. Did they say that too? like, hey, you only have one bottle of water up there. So you got to boil water's like I think if you're going up the mountain, carry a couple you can carry couple bottles. What else is in the fucking backpack? was you carry a couple bottles., I think their intention is to melt snow. Okay That was they say they had the k k to melt it. Okay. And they did have the kid to melt it. Hot water. Yeah, but speaking to that, yes, they were eating barbecue and on it should're to go up this heavy ass mountain On like on like like It' so funny. if in the middle of this whole movie just one of the characters kept having like barbecue diarrhea. One of them was supposed to. rememember the one guy who did' end up going up the mountain? He was some CEO guy who was attached to the gu his Paxon, why did they have why did they even have cameras? Like why did they spend any time on him if they weren't gonna to take him up the mountain or anything? They were just like he ran with some toilet paper and they were like, he got a boooo with lie. and I gott to take him up the mountain. Hope you're not tetherered in the rope behind him because you just going be shitting all your face And then he never even comes up to bounce it. Now I know that Jason does not watch Survivor, but Lace, I don't know if you do. One of my favorite things about Survivor is they always are like giving these people like treats like today guys, the prize is Alebees. Now they've been on this island and survivor and they've not been eating they o yeah, theyre always Alebees, Al always applees. '' far away from the island. Well, so they create a little fake Alebees like in a shack. like so when they win, they go to an Alebeess and So but they've been eating rice and everything and then they go to Applebe's and they have like and it's it looks like they're at Applebe's And I'm like the shits that are going on if you've not eaten for like elve days and then you eat like a bourbon barbecue burger and fries and a margarita. L I mean, that's the show that I want to see. It is just people like their bodies are No, I can't handle this. It's like it's so it always grosses me out that like bodies are not meant for Ale. That's a part of surviving. I actually did that was great brand alignment on Apple Be's part. There were like regular civilians who come into Apple Be's every day, they fighting battles on them toilets. surviv If you can get through our hennessy burbonooings. I also love that like that's a great advertisement for Applebeas to be like, hey, because everyone loves it so much. It's like, yeah, when you give it to starving people, they're going to be like this is the best food've ever eaten in my life. It's the easiest way to be like, works. I'm sure somewhere in the contract Applebe's has to be like, you can't air them throwing it up, you can't air them, having diarrohea, you can't air them, having any kind of negative reaction, which I'm sure everybody's bodies is rejecting this incredibly ra. have to be raous ravenously hungry and then apple pees is going hit. Taco Bell should have got it on that. Like Taco Bell is known for being the drunk food Oh my Godd. Well, obviously we had an opinion about this movie, but there are people out there with a different opinion. It is now time for second opinions. movie was a piece of shit that this person recommends. Tell me what is the message. Maybe that art is objected. I need a second opinion Thank you, John Lejois. So vertical lim has you get ready for it, an average rating of four point six out of five stars on Amazon and They have got a lot of reviews over to thousand reviews and seventy seven percent are five star reviews. ye. This is blowing my mind. It makes. So this first review is from Karen Landry and she titles the review, A Gift that made my best friend smile. This was a gift to a good friend whose dream it is to travel to Tibet and spend a few weeks there with the local residents climbing, just hiking and seeing an area that she's dreamed of all of her life She and her family love this movie, not just for the thrill and tention, but for the beauty as well. fiveive stars.. Wait, so you're watching this as a national geographic document. Like this is not like, o, finally I get to see what it would be like to be there. It's like this is a green screen. like like finally I got to be close to an eagle It also strange that she was like, my bestie really wants to go to Tibet and she wants to hike. so I took her to this movie where everybody falls off the mountain and explodes to really inspire her trip. Where do the people fall from the sky after they were cut free from the cords? Wh over there're great. Like it's like my friend always wanted to experience an explosion from Nitro. I took her to see this movie Where do you keep the nitro and is it leaking? By the way, that whole tent would be exploding. Now this is a reviewer that I was not gonna to read because I thought it was a joke, but I actually think it's real. The name is And excuse me for this. this is where I thought it was a joke. The name is Anal Thrasher sixty nine. Okay. And Anal Yes, but but but. You't Thrash in sixty nine. just No yes, I mean, this is unless you're climbing a mountain. This movie inspired me to take a pricey vacation to Nepal to hike the mountains. What? Wh my trip there wasn't nearly as cold or as dangerous as the one in the movie I still had an awesome time and would recommend that destination to those who like physical challenges. J stay away from the Indian food. It gave me the squirts for two old days. LOL fiveive stars. Oh my God. Can you imagine if this movie inspired you to go This is a movie that is getting people out of the house to go climb a mountain. Also, it's not lost on me Paul that when you read that Aal Thrasher also said like it's not as thrilling as the movie, but it was still did you want it to be as thrilling as the movie? saw you off a rope to your death? Is that? He was like, I didn't see as many people falling off the mountain as I would have hoped. because I thought they was just going be falling like fly. He If you're going in order to see nitro explosions, multiple avalanches and people raining from the sky It's kind of boring in reality It's like those things when they show you the video. It's like on social media, it looks like this, but in reality it looks like this. right, you know, it's those fake out things. Oh, I'm glad he gave me the warning about the Indian food giving him the squirts. Anyway, Ainal Trasher sixty nine is also just a rough name to pick when you are giving an earnest review. It's like again, I was going gonna to avoid it, but I'm like it seemed like he went. mean it was aint a stick it thrash because he got right truly T also to include your own personal experience with diarrhea in a movie review is really weird. To be like, my review of this movie is I had the squirts in this. N not even related to it. I just had Indian food when I went on vacation. You connection. Now this one has a great spelling error in it and I'll read it as written. This is from John K Dahl, written in twenty twenty three. If you like action suspense and the bad guy getting his cum muffins, you like this movie. So holy shit. Cum muffins I here is definitely cum muffins. And it's like a tin it's like a fifties woman holding a tin of muffins. Yeah. And you know the only way you can get your c muffins is if K two lifts up her skirt
