Starting point is 00:00:00 Today's show is brought to you in part by Handsome, a Netflix mystery movie. Jeff Garlin is Handsome. Detective Gene Handsome, that is. Follow him through the streets of Los Angeles as he tries to solve the mysteries of homicide and his own life. Handsome, now streaming only on Netflix. Only on Netflix. Doug hates candy wrappers screaming baby sticky seeds. With 50 azipop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Cause Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug, and I love movies! This is Doug Loves Movies! Coming to you once again from the club with a purple thing on every table that glows like the strangest bayou a person has ever been in. They've got large purple fireflies throughout the room. It's absolutely beautiful to look at
Starting point is 00:01:21 and very distracting if you're high. That's right, it's Zadie's and Rose Madone! Zadie! Formerly adjacent to Toby Keys, I love this fucking tax problem. Literally adjacent to Toby Keith's I Love This Fucking Tax Problem.
Starting point is 00:01:52 I know you guys from several visits to this particular club, and especially from Thursday night. There's going to be some name tags, so I don't even have to ask at this part of the show. You're just going to take them out anyway? What I was driving at is I don't need to see them, but now I'm seeing them. Did you have that yesterday with the target on your shirt?
Starting point is 00:02:22 I had a different name tag. You had a different name tag? Wow. Wow. Alex is killing it with the terrible on your shirt? I had a different name tag. You had a different name tag? Yeah. Wow. Alex is killing it with the terrible, horrible, no good name tags. I mean, that's the name of the movie that you put your name on, right? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Cliff Hanger.
Starting point is 00:02:38 And your name is Cliff? Yeah. So all you did was just bring the poster? See, the listeners are probably like, yeah, I just brought the poster, but you did a really nice job of replacing Sylvester Stallone with me, which I appreciate.
Starting point is 00:02:57 And thanks for doing that. It looks really cool. Good job. Shane Man. Yeah, instead of Rain Man. Good job Shane man Yeah instead of rain man I get it What's this goodwill hunting thing Is your name good
Starting point is 00:03:12 Oh no it's not goodwill hunting It's Shawshank Redemption When both of the faces Are covered with two white guys, I don't know. It could have been Good Will Hunting. I knew I shouldn't have started talking about the name tags. Finding Nico. That's a pretty big name tag. Somebody tweeted at me the other day, or maybe they wrote it on Instagram,
Starting point is 00:03:46 but they said, you need to tell people to stop bringing giant name tags because it's unfair to the name tags that are behind them. And I gotta say, I can't disagree with the person, but also I'm not gonna do it. Just the way Nico is holding hers, you're a her, right? I can't see because of the big name tag in front of you. Hey, Nico!
Starting point is 00:04:25 I mean, let's face it, it's kind of a girly sign also. A girl made it, really? That's awesome. That's a good one. Lots of great ones here. So congratulations to all of you for being so talented. And good luck being chosen. What's the matter? Are you okay? Okay. I thought something happened over there. You guys were talking about something.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Yeah, you're sitting right there. So when you're chatting about things, I'll be like, what? And then you both sit there like, do your show, asshole. Hey, you're back. You were over there the other night. Last night. Were you here last night? Donuts?? Donuts?
Starting point is 00:05:06 Target Donuts? What's your real name so I can stop calling you that? Alex. Okay. So for those of you that were here or weren't here or are just listening, Alex is the one that Colt Cabana threw a donut at very, very hard. Colt Cabana's seat was the one there on the other end. And he stood up.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Maybe even walked closer to Alex. I mean, a big target on your shirt. Yeah, you were definitely asked for it, but he was giving it way too hard. Because he just stood right in front of him and without any kind of warning to any of us,
Starting point is 00:05:51 just nailed him with it. I think it made a thump you can hear over the buzzing sound. All right, Doug Plugs. Do you a Getting Doug with High viewer or listener? Is that where that came from? Because it was like, yeah, because of pot topics, people think that Doug Plugs needs a theme.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs needs a theme. Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs. Doug Plugs. I don't like any of them. I am excited to announce that Doug Loves Movies will return to, pronounce it however you want, I'm going with Talia Hall in Chicago on Wednesday, August 23rd.
Starting point is 00:06:49 It should be on sale soon or now. Yeah. I had a lot of fun there last August 23rd. I believe it was exactly the same date. I forget if they allowed donuts. It feels like they did. They did? They confiscated it?
Starting point is 00:07:08 Okay, I'll look into that. You mean an episode where the listeners don't have to hear that bullshit? Like, for a while, I was pushing all the donut throwing to the end so that people listening that hate it can just like, you know, skip. They could just stop, turn it off, not listen to it. And, you know, people seem to like that. And then just over time it's just gone back to I just am throwing donuts the whole time.
Starting point is 00:07:39 I completely fucking forgot that that worked out pretty nice when I did it that way. And I should have kept doing it. fucking forgot that that was that worked out pretty nice when i did it that way and i should actually kept doing it i just feel very confessional today uh with you guys because it's always uh i look i ate next door earlier uh several hours earlier and saw you know a bunch of you outside uh queued up to come in. And it really warmed my heart because, you know. Yeah, because people go to see Guardians of the Galaxy, they just walk in during the trailers.
Starting point is 00:08:14 No respect at all. I got a few more things I want to plug. Sunday, May 14th, it's my annual traditional Mother's Day taping of Douglas Movies at Comedy Works in downtown Denver. And then Monday, May 15th, we're back in L.A. at Meltdown Comics.

Starting point is 00:09:48 Yeah, everybody wants Doug content in their ears. Sounds disgusting. I'm going to sort out what's in the prize bag, what I brought when I see what my guests brought, because I feel like, you know, usually I feel pretty strong and like I'm going to have the best stuff, but I think one of these guys might beat me today. Please give a big warm welcome to Adam Kempinar, Maddie Ryan, and Jeff Tate. Hey fellas Hey Doug
Starting point is 00:10:42 How do you like these stools How do you like these stools? Do you like these stools? They're alright. I mean there's a wall behind us so you can just lean on the wall I guess. Dope. It's kind of like it has a back but then the little tiny back that it does have
Starting point is 00:10:55 jams up into your ass when you when you lean back like that. I know, that part's free. We were eating lunch today. Jeff said a lot of people come up to him when they meet him in person, they're surprised he's not black. It happens.
Starting point is 00:11:16 People, more than I ever thought growing up that I would eventually hit my mid 30s and people would be like, I heard you on a podcast, but I thought you were black. And I was like, that's fucking cool. Let's meet my guests individually, starting with, we got two first-time players on the show.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Yeah. Starting with, if you love movie podcasts, I'm sure you're familiar with the Film Spotting podcast. And this is Adam Kempinar from that particular thing. Film Spotting. That's it. Was that the first name you thought of for it and you just went with it, or did you have other options?
Starting point is 00:12:06 The show actually was Cinecast when it started. Oh, it started off as Cinecast, and then why'd you change it to FilmSpotting? Because someone wanted to sue us. That's a great reason. Yeah. Why hasn't Danny Boyle or somebody threatened you over FilmSpotting?
Starting point is 00:12:21 He's actually been on the show twice. Nice! Both times he's made the joke that he probably will have a lawyer contact us. Oh! It hasn't happened yet, fortunately. threatened you over film spotting. He's been on the show twice. Both times he's made the joke that he probably will have a lawyer contact us. It hasn't happened yet, fortunately. He's consistently fun, that guy. He's great.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I love anybody who makes the same joke every time you see them. He's about eight years apart. Wow, really? You should change your name to Slumpod Millionaire. Or Steve Jobs. That doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Steve Pods. Yeah, I told you it didn't work. No. I mean, even when you do it right, it still kind of falls flat. Yeah, right? Yeah, you do it right, it still kind of falls flat. Yeah, right? Yeah, you did it right. A pod less ordinary. All right.
Starting point is 00:13:14 I guess we're playing a game already. Sunshine. The audience can't play. But Sunshine, what would you even do with that? Podshine. Really? Not some pod? Suncast. Nope.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Oh, that's right. We don't necessarily have to say pod, do we? No. We should go back to two minutes ago when I didn't know that was a Danny Boyle movie. And it wasn't part of this game. When you add sunshine in, it really fucks up this game. Little Miss Podshine? There, that's good. That's a pretty good one.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Yeah, thanks a lot. You really saved us. I had to ring in. I was trying. You know, there's a low silence. That's exactly what we needed. Podshine. One more question about film spotting.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Yes. You do a regular segment on that program, Exactly what we needed. Pod shine. One more question about film spotting. Yes. You do a regular segment on that program where you and the other people on the show with you have to name your top five of a particular genre. How specific do the genres get that you have to do that with? They hopefully get really specific. They're better when they are. One of the last ones we did that was really fun
Starting point is 00:14:23 was we talked about The Lost City of Z. Yeah. So we did the movie expeditions that we would go on. Oh. Top five movie expeditions you'd go on. Jeff seems like he's got an answer. Wait. Is it like
Starting point is 00:14:45 I got one I'd go to the chocolate factory and when Willie says don't touch that I wouldn't touch it I also wouldn't call him Willie I feel like Mr. Wonka's a little weirder Weirder? Weirder than a little
Starting point is 00:15:04 Hello Willie I didn't know you were going to put on a voice Wonka's a little weirder. Weirder? Weirder than a little, hello, Willie. I didn't know you were going to put on a voice. Why won't you? You got to be a child like, why won't you let me touch it, Willie? Yeah, that's the
Starting point is 00:15:16 Great Bear Wave for sure. Yeah, it's terrible. It doesn't work at all. Yeah, well, thank you for being here, Adam. Thank you. And also joining us for the first time ever is Chicago comedy phenom, Maddie Ryan.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Hey, guys. Hey, Doug. Thanks for having me. Is whistling like a Chicago thing? Is that like why there's so much whistling here and why Graham Elwood does it so much? We're an exuberant bunch. Yeah, right? It's true. Also, I guess you gotta be good at that
Starting point is 00:15:50 at sporting events. True. Yeah. Not so much here, though. I say that more for the people sitting like over here it's a little piercing, but someone sitting right next to them when they're doing that, that can't be good. Especially if it's like the fingers in the mouth, the really, really loud one.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Yeah, that can be aggressive. I'm saying how much unpleasant I find it. He just keeps doing it. Is Graham here? That's what I was trying to say. Matt, how are you on the old motion picture trivia? Do you think you can hold your ground here with these guys? With these guys, for sure not.
Starting point is 00:16:32 So it's going to be interesting. It's going to be an interesting evening. Afternoon, what is this? And yeah, it's... It's the middle, 420. Yeah, and we're going to have a lifeline for you at one point that can help you out. Was it one of the dudes we got super high with
Starting point is 00:16:45 before this thing? Because I wasn't used to smoking weed with nine strangers and then doing a show right away. That plus my limited film knowledge is going to make for a really interesting guest on this podcast today. I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm jazzed. I think you're going to do great. It's going to be a hoot.
Starting point is 00:17:02 I think that's going to be a real performance enhancer for you. So far, not. But we'll see. Maybe it'll sink into it. Yeah. Well, oh, did you think of, this is like an easier way into the game portion. Did you think of an expedition that you would go on?
Starting point is 00:17:15 A movie expedition? Yeah, I went to all the Indiana Jones ones right away. You'd go do those things? Yeah, if I could be his sidekick. You know what I mean? If he could show me the ropes, then I'd be down. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:26 That seems dangerous. I know, but I'm up for it. All right. In that case, I'm going to hang out with the girls in Spring Breakers and murder a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Do you remember what your top one was, Adam? Oh, I knew you were going to ask me that. No, I don't it involved air conditioning not not going anywhere near a jungle but you do a lot of those uh top fives you've done many of them right about 500 or so yeah and so do you have one that comes to mind is like the your favorite one or one here's an even better question i i take that one back
Starting point is 00:18:03 but i have an answer to that one. Okay, go ahead. The host that's disappointed, openly disappointed where the conversation's going, all right, say it. That was my favorite part of Frost Nixon when he was like, oh, come on, man. On day four when
Starting point is 00:18:22 you see him. I forgot what my question was. Favorite one? Craziest one? Favorite one, top five movie tattoos that we would get. So tattoos inspired by movies. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Not tattoos on people in movies. Okay, I think Jeff's got one. I have two. I got a Huss solo tattoo and an Evil Dead tattoo. There you go. What does the Evil Dead tattoo say? It doesn't say anything. It's the chainsaw boom. There you go. What does the Evil Dead tattoo say? It doesn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:18:46 It's the chainsaw boomstick crossed right here. Wow. I have two jackets on, though, so only one of you is going to see it. How does it work? Are their names in a hat? Yep. You guys remember on your way in when you had to put your names in a hat?
Starting point is 00:19:10 Now you know why. One of you is going to get fucked later. One lucky winner. Oh, shit. I replaced all the names with mine, so I'm excited. oh shit I replaced all the names with mine so I'm excited I'm jazzed
Starting point is 00:19:31 looks like looks like we both got lucky big time I'm thinking like a tattoo of a tattoo from a fantasy island. Wait, that's a movie.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Knick-knack from James Bond. Which one is he in? Man with a Golden Gun. Man with a Golden Gun was Knick-knack. Hervé Villachez. Knick-knack was the main villain in 007's Give a Dog a Bone. What? He had to fight Nick,
Starting point is 00:20:09 Knack, and Paddywhack. It was a real... It's my favorite one. Oh, you're so stupid. Only one lucky winner. Oh, everybody. Man, it was hard to keep quiet until I was introduced. Yeah, some black guy was in your spot.
Starting point is 00:20:55 I saw him on his way out. He was real handsome. How's it going, Jeff? Good. Sahara. That's the expedition I would go on because uh not because that movie was very good but because those dudes seem cool steve zahn and matthew mcconaughey those seem like fun stoners to hang out with go try to find a boat that sank in a
Starting point is 00:21:19 desert come on indiana jones just need to think about it some more I should probably yeah I'll tell you later I think you can come up with a better one You were just complaining about how hot it was in Phoenix And now you want to go to the Sahara with Matthew McConaughey That's a good point There's not many expeditions To temperate climates A lot of the cool shit that got lost
Starting point is 00:21:43 In the early days of civilization got lost because it was hot. Or cold or swampy or something. Yeah, something terrible. Something undesirable. Some climate where you drop it and you're like, fuck it. You mean you drop it like it's hot? Yeah. Doug loves music too, you guys.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Doug loves music too, you guys. So Jeff, you've thrown a donut or two in your day. I have, yeah. Am I right? Yes, I have. Yesterday, our friend Colt Cabana, from where you're sitting, he stood up first though, threw a donut at the target on this gentleman's chest.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Was it the same guy? And he was sitting right there. Yeah, on the same guy. Oh, man. Just back for more. You even brought a donut? Forced someone to do that to you? Jeff, would you do the honors? Hit him as
Starting point is 00:22:34 hard as you can. Hit that target as hard as you can from close range. Yeah, keep both of your jackets on. Oh, yeah, you're right. This is the reason I brought this up in the first place. The club asked me to put them in Ziplocs first. Did you just hear somebody screaming from the back?
Starting point is 00:22:59 Ziploc! Ziploc! Ziploc! I got a faulty one that's not working. Okay, there you go. Wrap it up. Keep it safe. Yeah, keep it safe. Safe donut tossing.
Starting point is 00:23:15 There you go. Just hit him in the chest. Yes. All right, so if any more donuts make it up onto the stage we have to bag them before we throw them and they were like we don't mind that it makes a mess it's just we've got a show right after yours we don't have time to clean it up if they had time they'd be happy to clean it up.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Alright, Jeff, I got another question for you. I think you know the answer, because you told me earlier. What was the last movie you saw? Free Fire. And? I fucking loved it. Okay, good. That movie is awesome I
Starting point is 00:24:05 I guess it hasn't come out in Chicago yet it has it has unfortunately not been greeted with it hasn't gotten much attention for whatever
Starting point is 00:24:15 reason but it is a very interesting movie because it's basically a bunch of characters in a warehouse with guns yeah it's great
Starting point is 00:24:23 that's basically what it is it's so good and it's, it's great. That's basically what it is. It's so good. And it's really, it's pretty nuts. There's like, I read the synopsis. And lots of really good actors, but no like marquee name to speak of. I went to read the synopsis and it said, set in a colorful 1970s Boston.
Starting point is 00:24:40 And then I stopped reading. I was like, that's all you need to know, right? That's all I need to know, yeah. It's not in black and white and it's in Boston. So's all you need to know, right? That's all I need to know, yeah. It's not in black and white, and it's in Boston, so you kind of hope everybody dies. I'm at Laugh Boston in June. I mean, except for those people.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Except for the cool ones. Okay, great. I had no idea you had so much animosity towards Boston. I don't. I was just trying to laugh. Cheers is your favorite thing ever. Yeah. Fucking, you don't want Sam Malone to die. No.
Starting point is 00:25:20 No, I don't. I mean, that's a good point. I didn't, I mean, the movie's good. It's a big shootout. Cheers,'t, I mean, the movie's good. It's a big shootout. Cheers, the movie? Cheers, the movie is sweet. Most people die in that one. Eventually.
Starting point is 00:25:33 I can't wait for Jeff. Jeff has not seen Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 yet, and I can't wait for him to see it because I think he'll love it, but also there's a few things I'd like to discuss with him about it that are pretty funny that happen in it. Yeah, that was a pretty heavy spoiler I just laid down. It's a movie and things happen in it that me and my friend might have co-appreciation of. That guy, I guess the options with that guy's mouth is whistling or just rando
Starting point is 00:26:06 spoiler i can't even whistle you think it's the same guy it's over there right it's coming from that way it's coming from the direction of boston is that what you're trying to say yeah yeah uh the first show in boston sold, so buy tickets to the second one. It's on Father's Day. What was the last movie you saw there, Adam? Long Strange Trip. It's a documentary about the Grateful Dead that I think is coming out later this month. Did you watch all of it?
Starting point is 00:26:36 No. Because like a dead show, apparently, it's four hours long. Yep. And I'm two hours into it. It's really good. I plan to finish it. I can't wait to see that. The last movie I finished into it. It's really good. I plan to finish it. The last movie I finished was Lucky. Harry Dean Stanton.
Starting point is 00:26:49 It was a big hit at South by Southwest. He's amazing in it. It's a good film. I do. Do you see awards for Mr. Harry Dean Stanton? That would be nice. I like having award winners on this program. He was on it that one time.
Starting point is 00:27:05 No reason to have him back. We did it and he was great. And then we named a game after him and everything. What about you there, Matty? This movie I saw was Sicario, which I believe is a couple years old. I'm like everyone's weird aunt that sees things way too late. But the weird aunt wouldn't even remember it's called Sicario, which I believe is a couple years old. I'm like everyone's weird aunt that sees things way too late.
Starting point is 00:27:25 But the weird aunt wouldn't even remember it's called Sicario. She'd start describing it to you and you'd be like, I don't know what the fuck. Then it finally hits you. Oh, Sicario. Scario! And did you like it? I loved it.
Starting point is 00:27:40 It's good stuff, right? Intense. Good part for emily blunt she's always good except for when she's playing some sort of queen in a movie i don't care about what movie is that huntsman and the and the something or other the snow white no the sequel the other one yeah what was that called? The Winter something. The Huntsman in the Wintertime. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Not Winter Soldier. Nick Fury just comes traipsing through the snow. Crudy. Hey, lady. You and your dwarves. Get over here. You're going to join, isn't that Nick Fury? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Okay, good. I have a new question. I have a new question that I ask all my guests now when I remember to ask it, and this is the second show this has happened in, I think. Who'd like to go first? Jeff. I'll go first. Jeff, tell me, and you've done this before successfully,
Starting point is 00:28:48 so maybe you'll do it again tonight. What's the best movie that I haven't seen? A few years ago, you recommended Cold in July to me, and I thought that movie was great, which reminds me there's a new thing coming out by the Cold in July people. Oh, yeah? Yeah, I think it's a series maybe. Oh, Happen Leonard.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Yes. I watched that. Yeah, it's like a $10 justified or whatever. It's not quite justified but it's... It's good though? It's pretty good, yeah. Alright. They really just have nothing happens until the last scene and you're like god fuck you now you gotta watch you gotta watch the next one but there's only six so
Starting point is 00:29:31 it's good all right so do you have one for me the best movie i've never seen i mean i've seen so many movies and they're all bad i really liked... Fuck. You've seen Safe Men, right? Yeah. Well, what if I just said the best movie nobody else in this room has seen except for you? Because that would be Safe Men.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Okay. Do you have one Adam we think a great movie Citizen Kane comes to mind I'm sure you've seen it so I'm going The Magnificent Ambersons another well
Starting point is 00:30:14 smart very smart I've never been able to get through it not as entertaining as Citizen Kane but you love it it's good
Starting point is 00:30:22 really good okay not Kane but it's good. Right. That's the problem. It's not Kane. Matty?
Starting point is 00:30:34 There's this documentary called Long Strange Trip about the Grateful Dead. It comes out next month, and Adam's only two hours into it, but it's really great. He said that he hadn't seen all of it, but I would have responded if we hadn't moved on with I've seen it. It comes out next month. All of it. All four hours?
Starting point is 00:30:51 I've seen all of it, yeah. And it comes out on May 28th in New York and Los Angeles and shortly after that on, you know, on demand or whatever. Don't spoil it for me. Yeah, no spoilers. Well, I'll tell you this. Don't tell me what happens to Jerry.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Jerry Garcia gets fatter. He definitely eats a lot of his own ice cream. Because that band was around for a long time. He was a pretty svelte guy. He had a little belly on him, but he wasn't fat. In the early 60s, he got fat pretty quick. You think he got fat quick? Did you see Long Strange Trip?
Starting point is 00:31:26 Did you sit through four hours of this shit? Adam was talking to me about it before most of you. He caught me up pretty good on the first two hours. Jerry Garcia used a real unique, real starch-heavy brand of heroin. brand of heroin. It's a proprietary blend that he created.
Starting point is 00:31:54 It's just cupcake mix. That all comes out in the back half of that doc. I only saw the last two hours of it, so I don't know where they came from, but all of a sudden there's a band and he's got his own heroin. So Adam, you quit watching it intermission? Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Did it make you laugh that there's no cliffhanger? It just suddenly goes intermission, and you go, okay, I guess that's been enough for now. That's it. Yeah, yeah. But just suddenly goes intermission. You go, okay, I guess that's been enough for now. That's it. Yeah, yeah. But I think it's a really good documentary, but I saw a press screening of it, so I'm not supposed to talk about it for another week.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Did Scorsese do it? Yeah, he produced it. I heard about it. Yeah. And it was directed by noted documentarians who made a couple other great documentaries that I can't think of right now. Amir Bar-Lev.
Starting point is 00:32:43 What? Amir Bar-Lev. That? Amir Bar-Lev. That's the dude that made it? My kid could paint that. There you go. And the Tillman story. All right. So Jeff and Matt,
Starting point is 00:32:50 you might as well just take off. We have a winner. No. I'm in trouble up here. You think so? I do. Jeff is good. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:59 This is going to be exciting. I'm no threat for sure. Sounds like you got all those boring movies locked up though. It's my specialty. I prefer a higher body count than just the singer. Let's go ahead and put that one in a plastic bag.
Starting point is 00:33:31 I forgot to ask you guys about the prize bag. Or say what I brought for the prize bag. Yeah, what'd you bring? Okay. I was going to make you guys go first, but I'll do it. I brought a book called the psilocybin
Starting point is 00:33:48 psilocybin the snivel snibbin basically it's the mushroom bible for anyone nobody I'll hang on to that and the
Starting point is 00:34:04 oh wow Nobody? Okay, I'll hang on to that. And the... Oh, wow. Nope, I don't have one. Sorry. Guy wanted one of the Christmas bongs, but I don't have one in here. I try not to fly with bongs. I brought some of the pipes, but I didn't bring enough of them. Here's a copy of Time Out Los Angeles.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I know you're familiar with Time Out Chicago. What's going on in LA that I can't go to? It should be called FOMO Magazine. A copy of my CD and a bunch of various fun-sized candies. Oh, wow, I just
Starting point is 00:34:44 pulled out two, and they're both... Oh, Almond Joy and Mounds. Sometimes. Go ahead. Sometimes you feel like one of them, but sometimes you get both. We don't have the rights, sir. I just love that he was helping you finish that
Starting point is 00:35:04 like you weren't doing a bit. It's got nuts in it. I play the dumb guys so well even I don't know when I'm doing it sometimes. I brought a couple of different types of tea from the hotel room. Yeah, it's not one of my better efforts. What do you got Matty
Starting point is 00:35:25 I got a it's a graphic novel of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas whoa from this cool bookstore in Chicago called Quimby's on North Avenue that's very cool did you sign it
Starting point is 00:35:42 nope I love signing things that have nothing to do with That's very cool. Did you sign it? Nope. I love signing things that have nothing to do with. What do you got there for us, Adam? I got a few things. I have two film spotting t-shirts, blue and black. Two different colors? Indeed.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Nice. You set for the weekend. And a book that a FilmSpotting listener wrote called 26 Short Screenplays for Independent Filmmakers. So if there's anyone out there that wants to make a film, here you go. And there's a coupon inside. My co-host, Josh, has a book coming out June 6th called Movies or Prayers. And there's a postcard so you can get that if you're curious. Yeah, your co-host has got kind of a religious angle going.
Starting point is 00:36:24 A little bit. Yeah. And then I brought three DVDs that all have Chicago connections. The Breakfast Club, of course. Fictional town of Shermer, Illinois, shot in the actual suburbs. I have Dark City, which Roger Ebert named his number one movie of 1998, which is the reason why I watched the movie, and I'm a big fan of it. No way.
Starting point is 00:36:45 98? Yeah. Armageddon? Who's Roger Ebert? What kind of fucking shithead don't like Armageddon? What happens in your movie? What happens in mine is some cool dudes
Starting point is 00:37:06 blow an asteroid in half. Roger Ebert loves Dark City so much that I was disappointed when I saw it. Yeah? Yeah, that's how much he loves it. Yeah, he oversold it a little bit. He does the commentary on the DVD. Yeah, yeah, he's super into it.
Starting point is 00:37:22 The commentary is just him going, seriously, it's really good. Pretty much. This part isn't boring. Just try to stay awake. There's a great production company here in Chicago called Cartemquin Films. They did Hoop Dreams and
Starting point is 00:37:38 other Steve James documentaries, among other docs. They have a great film from 1968 called Inquiring Nuns where two nuns just go around the city and ask people, are you happy? And they made a film out of it, and it's pretty wonderful. Yeah, I bet. I bet you people say interesting shit to a nun.
Starting point is 00:37:54 They do. Thank you for all of that. That's amazing. I was just babbling somewhere recently about how great it was that Siskel and Ebert, they were so into the movie Hoop Dreams that they sort of made it like one of the first successful documentaries at the box office because they pushed it so hard.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Yeah, absolutely. And that same dude made that that made The Inquiring Nuns. Very cool. And he also made Life Itself, the Ebert documentary, which is also terrific if you haven't seen it. Jeff, what do you got? I have a copy of my album.
Starting point is 00:38:33 It's called Jeff Tate Again. One of you can win it, and some of the rest of you could buy one on your way out. I have a pen that has my website on it. And the summer movie preview issue of Entertainment Weekly.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Oh! It's the scoop on 110 biggest films of the summer, including a lot of these. Can you imagine seeing 110 movies in one summer? That seems excessive.
Starting point is 00:39:19 It does, especially... It's like one a day. More than one a day. Yeah. More than one a day. Yeah, you have to have a four-month summer. And I don't think you have that here in Chicago. I don't want to be rude, but I feel like your summer's a bit truncated. And they don't go to the movies. They go down to the lake with their skates.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Dark city. You brought this stuff in a bag, didn't you? Oh yeah, that's the rest of my CDs. Oh, you gotta keep that bag. Alright, well, warning to the winner, this bag is way too much shit in this bag now. So, good luck.

Starting point is 00:43:52 He liked Scarface. He made Doug's face Al Pacino's face, and he made my face the end of the gun. They're his little things. Now, I understand it, but I like to prefer, like, I like to think that that's, uh, that's just me finally packing it in. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Whoa, that is a fucking great heckle. I've never heard the letters okay used as a heckle okay who you playing for Adam Jackie full metal Jackie nice I love it I like how simple it is it's a good size it's got a shithead on the back so be careful
Starting point is 00:44:40 Maddie don't read the shithead on the back okay who you playing for I'm playing for Ryan. He said Saving Private Ryan, then he crossed out Ryan and rewrote Ryan. Ah, that's... That's pretty good. And it's my last name, so...
Starting point is 00:44:56 My name! All right. I think Jeff's face is on there, too. Is that you, Jeff? Yeah, but I was in Saving Private Ryan Yeah you didn't have to change me or Jeff's face Because we were in it Yeah yeah right at the beginning
Starting point is 00:45:12 Why do you think it was called D-Day? Doug Day Alright Great choice all of you You can put yours on the ground there, Matt, if you want, but where I could see it, so I'll remember to call him Ryan. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:32 His name's Ryan. I can't see the other name tags, but that's cool. Jackie. Tony. There you go. Pretty good. Perfect. Thanks, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Tony. Oh, you're welcome. Tony is my guy's name Is that what you wanted from me? How much weed did he give you? I can't get it to work so that's Oh my god That's the most aggressive hold the button man I've ever heard
Starting point is 00:45:56 Yeah God you sound like the most I feel like I don't want to play for this guy anymore God, you sound like the most... I feel like I don't want to play for this guy anymore. When you were like, slow, not too hard, I was like, this guy sounds like a difficult John. Did it work? No.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Can I try? Can I try? Yeah, yeah, please do. Because I know how to do it long and hard. Every time I hit it, it does that flashing thing where it looks like I can't tell if it's turning on or off. Oh, I see what you're saying. But sometimes you have to hit it a certain number of times to get it to work. Yeah, five times. Five times.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Five times. You know what? These are my top five times that I've hit this button. Five times. Five times. Five times. Slower. Hey, use your free hand a little bit. These things are magical in that you don't know if it's working or not
Starting point is 00:47:20 until you blow out the smoke because it kind of tastes like it's working, but I couldn't get it. Yeah, that's the thing. Give it back to the guy. Maybe he can work on it. Oh, he's going to pack it up. Oh, is it empty?
Starting point is 00:47:31 Maybe that's it. By pack it up, do you mean leave the building? It's like a reality show. Pack up your weed and go. Oh, I'd watch that. Alright, we gotta play some games. Holy shit. This thing is off the rails.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Let's start with a little something called Alex's, Jason, and Deb's IMDb game. Basically, I'm going to name the most known for, somebody's top four, as it were, on IMDb, and then buzz in with your own name when you think you know it. I give one point if you get it wrong. Bonus points for the additional titles.
Starting point is 00:48:30 And also, thank you everybody here for choosing the excitement of this over the excitement of the Kentucky Derby. And all the listeners who probably won't even watch the Kentucky Derby. And to the listeners, surprise, the Kentucky Derby was yesterday. No, I was implying that they probably would never, anyway. Okay, number one. Grumpy Old Men. Walter Matthau. Oh, Matt.
Starting point is 00:49:08 What's your name? Matty. I forgot how the game goes. Yeah. Remember you explained this earlier? You go, when you think of the name, I go, just scream it out. You go, no.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Scream out your own name. I'm like, cool, got it. And I just did the other thing, so. Yep. People tell me all the time, why don't you tell people how the games work backstage? And I'm like, because when I do, it doesn't matter. Same result either way.
Starting point is 00:49:33 We might get lucky, and they might accidentally do it right if I don't tell them how to do it. I just got so excited. But also, I did warn you that there's probably a lot of actors in the movie, and so your guess, Walter Matthau, is incorrect. Dang it. Yeah. But also I did warn you that there's probably a lot of actors in the movie, and so your guess, Walter Matthau, is incorrect. Dang it.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Yeah. So yeah, you're already in the hole, Matty. I was going to lose anyways. At least that's probably the only name we'll get the whole time, so I'm excited. Lose with dignity. Buzz in first every time. You never know when you'll turn it around.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Okay, the second movie is Tommy. Jeff. What do you got, Jeff? Anne Margaret. That's correct. Nice. I feel like I don't even know who that is, so that's why I know I'm in trouble.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Well, that's the lady who was kind of old in Grumpy Old Men, and then she was a lot younger in Tommy. Got it. In Tommy, she has a scene where she rolls around on a white couch while having a lot of baked beans poured on her and the couch. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Check it out if you like things that are sexy and awful at the same time. Sexiest woman, awful thing happening. I mean, unless you like baked beans. Which I do. Oh, so if it's onions,
Starting point is 00:50:53 you wouldn't be into it? Nah, if there's onions in that shit, get it out of here. I'm not a fucking peasant. You get onions, the food of peasants. I don't have time for crying so i don't do onions uh two more guesses jeff grumpier old men oh you're smart and uh fuck i don't know the The Italian Job? The first one? Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Yeah, the Italian Job was a remake. No, the two that they went with were Any Given Sunday and, yeah, the Al Pacino. Don't act like you haven't heard of that. I've only seen the director's cut. There's a lot of people in it. And, you know, that's Oliver Stone's thing, JFK. And then finally, speaking of grumpy old men, both of them were in JFK. Going in style is the fourth one for Ann-Margaret.
Starting point is 00:51:53 Going in style. I guess she's a love interest of one of those oldies. All right. So that means Jeff's got one point and Adam is at zero. And you know what happened to Maddie. Negative one. Everyone was here when it happened. Here's the next one.
Starting point is 00:52:14 We're starting her off with Argo. Jeff. Oh, shit. Jeff is going crazy on us. Alan Arkin. That is correct. Should we leave now? Yeah, where are you at, film spotting?
Starting point is 00:52:34 Come on, what the fuck? You should tell him, Argo, fuck yourself. You heard him, I think. Cool. Three more guesses, Jeff. Catch-22, Little Miss Sunshine, and The In-Laws. They went with Get Smart, Edward Scissorhands, Sure. And Little Miss Sunshine. One bonus point.
Starting point is 00:53:13 And on to the next round. Swing for the fences, boys. Swing for the fences, boys. I just, as soon as I said the title, I'd say my name if my name were Adam or Maddie. Because Jeff is not... You can't stop this guy today. Back to the Future. Jeff.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Christopher Lloyd. Both of you could have named at least one person I only know the two obvious choices in that movie I knew it wouldn't be that one I already tried that
Starting point is 00:53:50 with Walter Matthau I shit the bed I tried to one of the obvious choices is Christopher Lloyd right Michael J. Fox
Starting point is 00:53:58 would have been my only two guesses and they both would have been wrong right right but you know I'm suggesting
Starting point is 00:54:04 now either way you lose what you did or or guessing wrong wrong, right? Right, but, you know... Then I'm going to lost another point. I'm suggesting now either way you lose. What you did or guessing wrong, either way you lose. So why not buzz in and guess wrong? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Oh, shit. Oh, excuse me, sir. Not wrong. I knew I was losing before I took the stage. All right, so Jeff, what'd you say? Christopher Lloyd.
Starting point is 00:54:24 That is correct. Oh, man. Come on. Gee whiz. There is a part of this game I should have told you about beforehand. It's just called Jeff Wins? Sometimes it's thematic
Starting point is 00:54:44 who all the actors and actresses are. And Jeff has clearly figured out the theme. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would have been cool info for me and Adam. What else you got for Christopher Lloyd, Jeff? Back to the Future 2, Back to the Future 3, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Starting point is 00:55:02 All incorrect. What? Yeah, it's Back to the Future Part 2, Back to the Future Part 3. And Who Framed Roger Rabbit? That's all. That's fair. There's no Camp Nowhere on there? That wasn't top four? That was a hit.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Yeah, I can't believe... Oh, shit. All right, so congratulations, Jeff. You won that game. Very good job. Jeff, tell everybody what Anne-Margaret, Alan Arkin, and Christopher Lloyd have in common. They're all in that movie Going in Style.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Yeah, which was also one of the answers in the first round. So Jeff picked up on all of it. Good work, Jeff. Thank you. As you can see, the audience is sufficiently impressed. They were awestruck. All of them. To the listeners at home, they're all awestruck. All of them. To the listeners at home, they're all awestruck.
Starting point is 00:56:10 They're exhausted. They went crazy every time you got a right answer. Just all the time. Yeah, listen to that guy. He's still yaying it up over there. Let's play Ron Bennington's Adjusted for Inflation Bureau game. Didn't even bother telling you about this one backstage because it's this simple. I'm going to name an actor.
Starting point is 00:56:35 You guys get to take turns. Jeff gets to go first. He gets first picking during the first round, and then we'll rotate at each round. So each of you will get a chance to go first. first round and then we'll rotate at each round so each of you will get a chance to go first. The idea is just name any movie you think is in a person's top three domestic
Starting point is 00:56:50 box office all time adjusted for inflation. Cool. Got it. Three points for number one, two points for number two, one point for three. So you say an actor, we say a movie that he was probably in. Yeah, yeah. If you can
Starting point is 00:57:07 narrow it down to something he might have been in, then you're on the right track for sure. That's where I'm at. For sure, yeah. That's where you're at. Just name something they've been in. Chances are, if you know they were in it, maybe it was a big hit or even a bigger hit after inflation adjustment. After Tom Brady gets his hands
Starting point is 00:57:23 on it. Hey, we're hating on Boston today. That's what the theme is, apparently. All right. So, Jeff, you get to go first on this first one. And it is Michael Caine. What is in the top three films of Michael Caine? The Dark Knight.
Starting point is 00:57:44 The Dark Knight. He's going with Dark Knight. What do you got, Adam? The Dark Knight Rises. Okay. Matty? What was the first one? So far, we've got
Starting point is 00:58:01 The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises. Oh, you mean what was the name of the first Batman? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jaws, you mean what was the name of the first Batman? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jaws 3D. That was the name of it. I thought your memory was that bad.
Starting point is 00:58:11 You're asking me, was it The Dark Knight? What was the first one? Just Batman. Yeah, but yeah, you got to know. And there's no lifelines in this game. Do I lose points for this right now if I get it wrong? No, you're cool. I just don't get points.
Starting point is 00:58:23 You just don't get any. Okay. But you can name something that he was in. I just don't get points. You just don't get any. Okay. But you can name something that he was in. I don't know if he was in that. What is happening? Why did an audience member say the name of a movie?
Starting point is 00:58:31 Please don't do that again. The person who did it or anyone else. Thanks. How often that has to happen. There's an easy way to know if it's your turn. Batman Begins.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Yeah, you figured it out. Yeah, see? Thank you. Just give me a second. Yeah, you just need some time. It's not in his top three. It wasn't worth the trouble. Were the other ones? Number three, Inception. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Coming in at number two, The knight rises so two points for adams and number one the dark knight three points for jeff what oh but now this next round adam gets to go first and then maddie so they get a choice pickings before it gets around to movie genius over there. Adam, the films of Joseph Gordon Levitt. I had it.
Starting point is 00:59:41 I'm thinking between two films, and I'm going to say Inception. Okay, he's going Inception. I was going to say that one. And now I'm thinking between two films, and I'm going to say Inception. Okay, he's going Inception. I was going to say that one. And now I'm thinking of the one where him and Bruce Willis do the time travel thing with the murdering. Looper?
Starting point is 00:59:56 Yes, I'm going to say that one. Okay, Looper. Looper. The Dark Knight Rises. Is he in that? I only helped you on Looper because it's not in his top three. You guys, I'm genuinely trying, okay?
Starting point is 01:00:14 Yeah, no. His number three is Lincoln, so you were close. Close. Lincoln. That's what I said. Same letter. Time traveling where he goes back
Starting point is 01:00:23 and plays End of the Time of Lincoln. Yeah, he goes back and he's like, I'm your son. And Lincoln's like, I don't have a son. That was a pretty sweet Lincoln I just did. I need a son like I need a hole in the head. Too soon. Way too soon. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Way too soon. Oh, man. Coming in at number two, Inception. Yes. So that's two more points for Adam. And Jeff does it again with The Dark Knight Rises. Coming in at number one. I should also say, Matty, that the early games aren't that important. They just kind of lead into who gets to go first in the next game.
Starting point is 01:01:17 It's the final game where you're really going to have to hunker down and suddenly know something about movies. I'm excited like I haven't been hunkered already this whole time. You're totally hunker down, and suddenly know something about movies. I'm excited like I haven't been hunkered already this whole time. You're totally hunkering. And this time you get to go first. I'm picking up on a theme and I'm excited about it. Okay. You get to go first. You will rocket to third
Starting point is 01:01:37 place if you get this. Yes. Wait. We'll call it a respectable loss if you could tell me the number one movie of Mr. Tom Hardy. The Dark Knight Rises. That is correct.
Starting point is 01:01:55 Yes. I'm third. It feels good. It feels good to be here. All right. Jeff, Adam's got a chance to catch up to you here because there is a two-pointer on the board. What are you going to go for his second? I think I'm going to take a swing at that two-pointer
Starting point is 01:02:16 and say Inception. Okay. Adam, what are you going to pick? What's left? That movie where he's alone in a car? Yeah, exactly. Locke, but there's no way. No way. Bronson, that's not going to pick? What's left? That movie where he's alone in a car? Yeah, exactly. Locke, but there's no way.
Starting point is 01:02:28 No way. Bronson, that's not going to be in there. No. Can show off all you want. Reese Witherspoon? Come on, man. Say it. Lawless.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Yeah, Locke, I got nothing so exciting well we already know what number one was number three The Revenant yeah he's all like I'm a prospector yeah yeah I'm going to do an impression of him from each of his films and then number two, Inception.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Inception number two. Two more points for Jeff and an impression of him in that movie. And of course, coming in at number one, The Dark Knight Rises. We got three points for that? Jeff is once again the winner amongst losers. No, that's just what Bane would say. I think they're all great. First loser.
Starting point is 01:03:44 Would you like to throw a donut, Jeff? No, thank you. It's a lot less fun when they're in a bag. It's like fucking. I can see it now. Are you going to put on a condom? You're like, no thanks. There's just a big box of donuts sitting there. They look delicious.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Are they only for throwing? I don't know how old they are. I'm going to stay away from them. I kind of want to eat one. I'll wait until it's over. You can eat one. People love chewing. Jackie, Full Metal Jackie pre-packaged them for me.
Starting point is 01:04:26 They're in the Ziploc bag ready to go. That's a classic Jackie move right there. Thank you, Jackie. Bless your heart. I'm just going to wait until that guy finishes fixing his weed thing, and then I'm going to hit that, and then I'm going to eat all those donuts. I'm going to fill my pockets with plastic bag donuts and go to the movies after this. Is he still trying
Starting point is 01:04:46 to fix that thing? Nah, he probably fixed it. Oh, it's in his pocket. He's fine. Yeah, leave him alone. Whoa. All right. Whoa. Okay. I feel like he's taking it personally
Starting point is 01:05:09 and not understanding the fact that there are lights pointed at us. What's that? No, it's okay, man. It's just for goofs, man. If you can't figure out that we're trying to get laughs in front of 200 people, then laugh. Don't be a fucking weirdo about
Starting point is 01:05:24 your weed thing that's got some sort of thumbprint passcode that we can't figure out. You handed it to me and Doug. If you think Doug Benson, if Doug Benson can't figure out your weed thing,
Starting point is 01:05:38 it's your weed thing's fault. All right? This had... All right. This head. I'm playing for you, and I'm fucking cleaning up. The least you could do is be cool about it. That's probably the only reason he's still here is because he might win. No, I'm San Diego. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:06 Did you drink at all today? No. Oh, okay. Interesting. That puts a spin on it. Yeah. So you didn't drink at all. What happened? Did you fall off your roof trying to install a satellite dish? Why are you yelling things at random at us?
Starting point is 01:06:30 Jeff, this isn't a stand-up show. You don't have to go so hard. Honestly, as it comes out of my mouth, none of it means anything. I'm just trying to get a laugh because a lot of people are looking at us. If they just stop looking at us, the comedy would be so much easier.
Starting point is 01:06:52 That's why podcasting came along. And then you went and you were like, I'm going to take podcasting and I'm going to put people in front of us. Big mistake. It should just be us in a room arguing about trivia. But thank you for
Starting point is 01:07:09 offering the pen up and good luck in winning all the prizes. I think your odds are pretty good. I think... Maybe for fun we should let Jeff pick an actor he's never heard of. How would I do that? How would I pick an actor he's never heard of for just say a name
Starting point is 01:07:32 that you made up no then the other guys wouldn't know any movies either but is there an actor that you're not very familiar with like Like, what about... Sam Jackson. Yeah, what about that? Ernest Borgnein. Yeah, Ernest Borgnein. I don't know very much about Ernest Borgnein. Jeff, I'm trying to ask them to not be suggesting names right now, because that's not what I've asked them to do, and they're doing it anyway.
Starting point is 01:07:59 So let's not... Fuck, that was one of them. Let's not engage. You thought Matty said Ernest Portnoy? I was impressed. No, I picked somebody from the audience who's going to get to pick the name that we are going to play.
Starting point is 01:08:24 Then when we play the game, no one in the audience is going to say a title that they think might be a right answer until I've asked for that part to happen. You all listen to the podcast. What is the problem? All right. Last man standing. Jeff won, so he gets to go first again. And I found a person on the internet named Steve Cock.
Starting point is 01:08:50 I apologize. Coke. It's K-O-E-K? Coac? K-O-E-K is pronounced Coac? Holy shit. You have to correct every single person that says your name off of a piece of paper.
Starting point is 01:09:09 Right? Yeah, okay. And you've got a perfect name for us? It's somebody we've never played before. From Chicago. Oh, shit. This is not going to go well for Matty. Not even close.
Starting point is 01:09:31 Thank you Ryan. He is your lifeline. You can go to him once. Can I really? You just told me that now? I was going to say once in this last game. This is the game where there's a lifeline,
Starting point is 01:09:45 and he's your lifeline. All right, so who's the actor, sir? Harold Ramis. Oh, I know him. The films of Harold Ramis. Um, no. Let's play it just for funsies. Jeff, go.
Starting point is 01:10:08 Ghostbusters. I play along in this game. As good as it gets. Ghostbusters 2. We're playing. It's like I've never listened. I listen all the time, Doug. Ghostbusters 2.
Starting point is 01:10:27 And that happens. That's what happens. You gotta be careful, man. You gotta wait your turn. There's rules. This is a society. Lifeline? What? Is it my turn? You can go to your Lifeline? What?
Starting point is 01:10:45 Is it my turn? You can go to your Lifeline. I'm going to have to. Well, I just wanted to do it quickly just to prove that Harold Ramis was a shitty name. Great person. I love Harold Ramis, but rest in peace. But he's a tough one for this.
Starting point is 01:10:58 You don't have any others? All right, you're out. Jeff? Stripes? Yeah, of course. Yeah. you're out Jeff stripes yeah yeah you're gonna love this one gang vacation yeah yeah yeah national improves vacation and he's the voice of the moose out front of the park that they should have told him yep He's the moose out front that should have told him. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:11:26 All right, Matty. The Ice Harvest. Yeah. Wow. Chipotle come in with a sleeper. Where did you pull that from? Literally the depths of my soul. So it's movies he's in or directed we're doing.
Starting point is 01:11:48 It's my turn, right? Groundhog Day. Yeah. The musical version of which on Broadway is really, really entertaining. I'm going to say... Knocked Up. That's what I was thinking. Thinking that one.
Starting point is 01:12:09 So is there like a time limit? Can we just hang out for a second? I'm quickly proving that this is a bad name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm probably wrong. I'm just going to throw a caddyshack out there. Yeah, you're right. Really?
Starting point is 01:12:25 Yeah. Fuck yeah. Jeff. Orange County. Oh, okay. Club Paradise. I got a nice out of a guy. I think it's a guy.
Starting point is 01:12:47 Matty? I thought it's a guy. Matty? I thought it was your turn. It's my turn? I just said one. Oh, cool. What were you doing while I was talking? Listening. All right, I got it.
Starting point is 01:12:58 I was so, so deep in the Rolodex of my limited film knowledge. Scrooged? No. Caddyshack 2. He didn't direct Scrooged. Was he in it? Cameo? Nothing? I don't know. Jeff? Was he, Jeff? No.
Starting point is 01:13:20 So I'm out. Is that what that means? I think I might be out, but didn't he direct Meatballs? Or wrote it or something? That be out, but didn't he direct Meatballs? Or wrote it or something? That guy, Evan Reitman, directed Meatballs. First Meatballs. Yeah, Evan Reitman.
Starting point is 01:13:32 I'm out. Anyway, it's a terrible name. So why did you think it was terrible? We did all right. Because we would know too many? What? Why did you think it was a terrible name? No, no, the idea is there should be lots of titles to choose from
Starting point is 01:13:47 and a guy who co-hosts a movie podcast doesn't drop out after a round or two. Him and his lifeline. Well, we didn't do lifelines because I said I wanted to do it quickly. That's true. Did his lifeline have one? Who's your lifeline?
Starting point is 01:14:06 Jackie? What evolution lifeline? Evolution was what you were going to do? I think that was Ivan Reitman. That was Ivan Reitman. It's easy to confuse them, which also makes it a bad one. If anybody ever suggests Ivan Reitman, I will fly over the tables with joy. All right.
Starting point is 01:14:30 Now let's get another name and this is a ugly process because I have to trust you guys raise your hand if you tweeted at me that you had a great name she all right she's got a good point she won on stage yesterday when we were last night when we were playing last man Stanton with Tom Cruise. See, Tom Cruise is a perfect one because there's so many. I can start naming some of those. I bet you can. Okay.
Starting point is 01:14:53 But we're not going to do Tom Cruise. Because also, Jeff will still beat you. I know. Because he loves Tom Cruise. So much. He knows the full title of the second Jack Reacher movie. Yes. Jack Reacher 2?
Starting point is 01:15:04 Jack Reacher, never go back. You're looking for trouble. You're just talking while he's saying the facts. Jack Reacher, colon. Never go back. That's correct. Elijah Wood. Elijah Wood. I've been at so many.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Whoa. There's somebody back there that already thinks that this one's gonna get rejected Elijah Wood no no I got one I don't the biggest problem I have with Elijah Wood
Starting point is 01:15:36 is just that I can't get the Hobbit titles correct oh that's nice now I know who Elijah Wood is well I wouldn't want to play with someone Oh, that's nice. Now I know who Elijah Wood is. Well, I wouldn't want to play with someone where any person on the panel has no idea who the person is, because then that game is over for that person immediately.
Starting point is 01:16:00 So that's why I say a very well-known actor with tons of credits, and Tom Cruise is perfect. I love his I Am Kick-Ass shirt here in the front row so much and he's so polite. I'm going to go to him. What's your name, sir? Corey. Corey. So I apologize for calling you sir. People named Corey should never be called sir.
Starting point is 01:16:19 It's just too chill a name, man. I knight you, Sir Corey Feldman. All right, Corey, what do you got for us? It better not be Corey Feldman or Corey Haim, and especially not Corey Hart, because I wear my sunglasses at night. Kurt Russell. Kurt Russell!
Starting point is 01:16:45 Jeff is going to win! Congratulations, dude. I'm already smoked. I'm done. I'm taking away Jeff's lifeline. That's how confident I am in him. My lifeline doesn't like any of us, so I wasn't going to go to him anyway.
Starting point is 01:17:04 I'm sure he's fine with Adam. All right, so, Jeff, you start us off, and we'll go Adam and Maddie and me. That's a good title, Maddie and me. All right, I'm going to say the one I was going to say for Ernest Borgnine, Escape from New York. Alright. It also...
Starting point is 01:17:30 Escape from L.A. Very clever. Captain Reckless. Hang on a second. Yeah, that is the full title. So fucking, first of all, I don't want you to yell full title ever, but especially when you're wrong.
Starting point is 01:17:49 Just shut up. Try that. Captain Run. Yes. Huffling. I'm going to go with The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. You heard me. Yeah, he started out when he was young and in Disney movies.
Starting point is 01:18:21 And I will name all of them. Jeff? The Thing. Yes. Disney movies, and I will name all of them. Jeff? The Thing. Yes. I like the sequel to that movie, The Thing You Do. Sorry, That Thing You Do. The Fate of the Furious.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Yes. Fuh-ate. That's all I have to write down. Apocalypse Now? Was he in that? Oh, boy. Really? I'm so bad.
Starting point is 01:18:51 You guys, listen. Please relax. Oh, yeah. Live line. Please relax. Help me, please. Please relax. It was almost a mob. Did you see that?
Starting point is 01:18:57 Yeah, no. It freaked the fuck out. You guys, I'm sorry. People lost their minds and all started speaking. Stop speaking towards the stage. That's what I'm asking for. Can that happen between now and the end of the show that the audience stops speaking at us
Starting point is 01:19:08 when we haven't asked you anything? Ryan, yeah, Ryan. Yeah, he's asked for you, and now you're speaking when I haven't asked for you to speak. All right, Lifeline. Ryan. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:23 Lifeline, yes. Fucking now! Fucking speak! You're so hot to speak! Fucking speak already! Big trouble in Little China. Big trouble in Little China. If only that vapor pen had worked,
Starting point is 01:19:34 I'd be holy instead of angry. What did he say? Big trouble in Little China. Oh, that's a good one. I mean... That's what I meant to say instead of Apocalypse Now. Big Trouble in Little China. Yeah, and if a smarty pants had said a full title on Jeff, I guess you could say it's John Carpenter's the thing, but I don't care.
Starting point is 01:20:07 Whose turn is it? Yours. Oh, shit. I gotta come up with another Disney movie. The Strongest Man in the World. They made a movie about me. Have you seen any of these old Kurt Russells? No.
Starting point is 01:20:29 Because you love Kurt Russells. Has anybody besides you? I've probably seen those. I remember seeing those movies on the wonderful world of Disney. Yeah, yeah. I'm sure I've seen them. I don't remember all the titles, so I'm just going to say things like Breakdown. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 01:20:43 Yeah. Adam? Furious 7. That was a good one. Breakdown 2. Second one. Your lifeline is just like, God damn it.
Starting point is 01:21:01 Very good hit, that one. I mean, it's weird that you didn't think of the sequel to Furious 7. The Hateful Eight? Furious 8? Oh. I was trying to make a joke, but you walked right on top of it. I'm saying The Hateful Eight. Jeff?
Starting point is 01:21:22 Tombstone. Yes. That's a good one. What's that? Are you speaking? Are you speaking again? Are you still speaking? You're the guy that you've been saying like quotes or mentions or things about the movie
Starting point is 01:21:37 every time a movie comes up that you know something about. Why? Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Like, I don't know how to give more signals of my irritation. People still keep speaking. Can you just stop speaking, sir? Thank you.
Starting point is 01:21:56 Don't say sorry or anything. I get to speak last. We're done. Adam. I was going to say, this is like my childhood. It's a terrible time to bring up what an awful father I was. It sounds like you were a shitty kid. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:21 I'm going to say Miracle. Yes. Oh. Yes. Oh. Oh. Jeff? It's your turn. Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 01:22:39 Matty's out. Okay, the Barefoot Executive. Barefoot Executive. That's a good one. How about, is it, what if I said, do you think I could get credit by saying the barefoot executive decision? Ah! Nope, that's incorrect.
Starting point is 01:22:59 Executive decision. Okay. Adam? Overboard. Ah! Shit! Fucking overboard. All right, I'm going to tap because I'm too irritated to play.
Starting point is 01:23:18 Jeff? You each have a lifeline, right? Yeah, yeah. I'm not going to use mine because he's... I don't want to... That's right. I took yours away.
Starting point is 01:23:30 I took yours away. I'm sorry. But he's also the guy that keeps talking. That's not why I took it away, yes. You don't need to bring it up anymore. I'm going to say a movie called Tango and Cash. Yeah! There's one... I just can't believe I can't remember the name of this movie,
Starting point is 01:23:51 so I'm going to have to go to my lifeline. High five. Death Proof? Oh, I like it. I can think of Planet Terror for some reason, but not the Tarantino. Yeah, it's got a weird genericness to it. Death Proof. Part of Grindhouse of course and Jeff
Starting point is 01:24:06 Tequila Sunrise have you spotted any of these films you should try Apocalypse Now. Dude. The remix. The Redux one. Like the director's cut. Maybe he's in that.
Starting point is 01:24:37 Adam, you should do top five Kurt Russell movies you can't think of. Next week. I think I still have five. I'm in trouble. I love Kurt Russell, but I'm out. Yeah, it had to happen.
Starting point is 01:24:54 And, of course, we all saw it coming. Jeff Tate is our winner! Sorry, Ryan. I tried, man. But you were doomed from the beginning. I think you knew that. You want to get these prizes to the winner?
Starting point is 01:25:15 Can you give them to Ryan? It's like an olive. Give it to my guy. Give it to him as an olive branch of thank you for helping us out and being here and enjoy.

Starting point is 01:27:23 Yeah, at the old Talley Hall. Thanks again to Zanies Rosemont for turning that buzz back on at the very end of the show. I was starting to miss that buzzing sound and they figured out a way to get it back. And now I think I figured out, I'm no sound engineer,
Starting point is 01:27:40 but the buzzing sound is because you don't turn off the offstage mic during the show, and you did today, and then you turned it back on just now, because you're ready to make an announcement as soon as the show is over. I don't know anything about sound, but I figured that
Starting point is 01:27:53 one out. Now if I could just figure out how to get the crickets that melt down comics to shut the fuck up. But thank you to Zadie's Rosemond and for all you guys for coming out on a Saturday afternoon. As always, Billy Crystal is a shithead. Oh, also, there's some donuts on the stage
