Sebbo and Tobler dive into Vertical Limit, making the case it's a perfect, endlessly rewatchable disaster movie — great ensemble cast, genuine moral quandaries, and a title drop line that sums up the whole film. They break down standout moments like the opening rope-cutting scene, the helicopter rescue, and Montgomery Wick's backstory, plus a detour imagining how the movie got pitched as the ultimate "cocaine movie." They also answer YouTube questions on the best Entourage cameo and roles that would've been ruined by different casting, before setting up next week's pick: Goodfellas.
