Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see because Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey everybody. My name is Doug and I love mashed potatoes. This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you once again from america the miserable for another homes alone edition it's wednesday november 25th thanksgiving eve 2020 and i'm thankful for my guests today chad daniel solomon giorgio and amy miller hello hi let's meet them individually starting with first time guest solomon giorgio hi here thank you for having me i'm so happy to even be here that's so exciting uh that uh you know i come across you on

twitter and enjoy your tweets and saw that you were following me and said hey do you want to be on douglas movies and now now here we are see it's that simple do uh do all of your friends uh call you saul because i heard uh amy refer to you as saul uh it's uh it's really honestly if it starts with an s i will probably respond to it all right it's actually the nicest one so far oh okay um you know i was just you know i got excited when she called you saul because i was like oh that's gonna save me a lot of time you can go for it it's all solomon every time but also solomon's a a pretty cool name i think i either say saul or the whole thing solomon giorg, because it's so beautiful. You got to go short or long. It really does sound like a title of an Italian film. Of course.

It's probably, I've had my whole life. I've never lived up to it, but it is my name. Fair enough. And we've already heard her briefly. One of the world's top Amy's. It's Amy Miller. Hi. Sometimes Doug is very generous and will give me a heads up who else is on the podcast

in case I hate that man. I was like, no, I love Saul. And Chad, I'd never met, but I love Saul and Chad. I'd never met, but I am a big fan of, so this is a good crew. It's so easy to not hate Chad when you don't actually know him. That's what I've heard.

Little tougher face to face. Yeah. Once you get into it with him, well, then who knows what's going to happen. But I did your podcast yesterday amy uh who's your god yeah finally it was so fun it wasn't so painful right no because you never even asked me the title question i know we don't ask it we ask a different question it's kind of a trick yeah you answered that one sort of you played the game yeah we chatted uh about a lot of stuff and then uh at the very end we we touched on religion a little bit because that's pretty much my life touching on religion a little bit exactly we had a really good comedy talk though i mean we got into your values and stuff that's really what it's about oh okay um and phoning it in that sounds

like he's not even going to try it's chad hello hey chad how are you i'm good um great you're what's your name on your socials at that chad daniels when i was i know that sounds uh horrible but when i was younger in high school, I had a girlfriend and I went to her house and then her mom didn't know I was there and yelled, if you hadn't been hanging out with that Chad Daniels. And so that stuck. And that's what I put on there. Oh, okay. Cause you've also got a special called dad channels, right? Yeah. Yeah.

So funny. So I got confused and think thought that might've been on your, on your socials as well, but, but thank you for being here. Can you say where you, what state you're in? Well, yeah, I'm in Fergus falls, Minnesota. So that's Northern Minnesota is where I live. Yeah. Yeah. You got super specific. If anybody wants to track it. Well, that's the thing. No one can find it.

It doesn't show up on maps. Oh, perfect. That sounds like Cajun territory. Yeah. It is, actually. Try a Daniels. Well, thank you to all three of you for being here. Solomon, of course, is a first time guest,

but Chad and Amy have been through this a bunch of times, both in front of a live audience and over zoom and hope to have you participate sometime with an audience. Solomon. Look, it's okay. I enjoy, I enjoy that. I'm at my house and that's pretty nice. Yeah. I mean, it is kind of a perk that you don't, that you can be on podcasts and not leave your house. That is, you know,

it's just the trouble is being stuck in your house all the time starts to be a drag. But since everybody's stuck at home, I love to talk about, you know, movie options that people can watch before we get into the game portion of the show so let's start with uh with solomon and um are there any movies you've seen lately that you would uh recommend um the last movie i just saw which is one that's not available to stream anywhere so you you have to get the DVD, is Drop Dead Gorgeous. Oh, that's, who's in that?

Drop Dead Gorgeous is Kirsten Dunst, Allison Janney, Keira Sedgwick. And RuPaul. RuPaul? I'm trying to remember now. It's a beauty pageant. Yes, but it's a mockumentary with murder it's very it's really fun an early

Brittany Murphy film as well young Amy Adams in it? I'm not sure it's crazy that you can't stream it at this point I don't understand anything that's available nowhere yeah I agree especially in some of these places you just spend hours just flipping at this point i don't understand anything that's available nowhere yeah i agreed yeah especially can some of these places you just you just spend hours just flipping through all these terrible

movies that they stream you think the ones that people like would definitely show up somewhere and yeah did you like it oh i've watched it millions of times and i'm also going to apologize because i said kira sedgwick and it is not. It is, oh my God, Ellen Barkin. Why? Oh, I could see that. They both kind of talk out of the side of their mouth. They do.

It is. But yeah, it's that sort of like. They both have a cockeyed smile. sort of like they both have a cockeyed smile they're legends of the fall it is it's sort of like a holly hunter school of acting uh oh yeah that's very she's in that group too and rupaul's not in it i for a second i was thinking of um but i'm a cheerleader which is another classic that you cannot get on streaming i had to buy the dvd they're both so good though yes but rupaul isn't one enough yet yes i know that could be a fun you could steal the uh cover art and make a make it an album title

solomon because you could go drop dead georgio yes Yes, it's true. That is. You'd only have to change a few letters. I'm going to steal that idea now. Oh, he would too. That's what I was going to say. He fucking will. Well, just like Amy pointed out to me yesterday, my next internet comedy show is going to be on Canada's Boxing Day. And then she came up with a Boxing Day to describe my show.

And I hadn't thought of it. So I'm very grateful that we spoke. So Drop Dead Gorgeous is Saul's recommendation. What about you, Amy? What do you think people should try to check out? Well, not the last movie I saw, but something I recommended to you and you thought was really sad and I thought was really funny, which are both correct, is this documentary called Jasper Mall, which is on Amazon Prime, if you have that. And it's literally just this mall in Alabama is slowly closing down. This mall in Alabama is slowly closing down.

Mallabama. Mallabama. And they follow, like, through the eyes of the maintenance guy, basically, each store that's kind of closing, coming to an end. And it is, I mean, it's kind of slow, but it's very funny. There's all these characters, these old people that just hang out in the mall every day. And so they're like, not sure what they're going to do when the mall's closed. That part is sad. Yeah, there's a bunch of mall walkers that come in every day and just walk the mall and don't buy anything.

They just go to get exercise. Not a thing. Yeah. not a thing yeah i mean there's not a lot of it's not exactly one-stop shopping in this mall because it's not they don't they barely have any restaurants i think there's like a subway sandwich place well that's it they lost then yeah they lost their they lost their peonies okay we lost peonies and then we lost kmart and now now this next department store has got to go. We still got the subway. It's like, oh, Solomon,

this girl also works at like the Great Clips in the mall and gives her own friend a haircut that is so botched. I watched it like 20 times. I think Amy talking about this movie is so much funnier than the movie the movie is so is so bleak the soundtrack is just so sad and it's just and like she said it's the the security maintenance guy that kind of runs the whole show he's even like seen at one point on the phone trying to convince some other big you, big chain to put a store into the mall that's dying.

And, but he totally looks like, and has like a tiger King vibe. And then it turns out the guy used to run a zoo. Yeah. A big cat park. Also, he is from New Zealand. So he has a New Zealand, Alabama accent, and it's the craziest shit I've ever heard. Yeah. So once again, it's called Jasper mall and it's,

uh, which one's it on? Amazon prime prime. Yeah. It's on prime. And, uh, yeah,

Amy was like, I watched this movie and laughed all the way through. And I watched it. I was like, this is not the same movie. I told you I was really high yeah you did mention that so i was like oh she must have had some better weed than i'm had before i watched it did the mall walkers in that movie ever decide to just go outside uh we can't really tell you what happens to the mall walkers chad you're gonna watch it i refuse to watch that movie well it's

funny the mall gets a real i mean i don't know how much business they get from it but like there's more activity outside the mall when the uh county fair rolls through oh yeah it's not even a county fair it's just sort of like a fair that you know just sets up in various parking lots it's a ferris wheel yeah it's a ferris wheel and you know cotton candy and uh elephant ears or is it a different name there i think elephant ears yeah yeah uh because that's that's regional that uh that particular carnival snack they actually got them from the guy's former zoo former zoo actual elephant ears chad do you have something less depressing to recommend than uh

than movies about beautiful dead people and dead malls i mean i well no but i did like the movie shot caller with uh as you know doug I don't know the names of actors but I can tell you what else they've been in which comes in very handy for this show but it's called Shot Caller and the main guy was the main prince in

Game of Thrones that's where you lose me because I was never a Game of Thrones person just Peter Dinklage is all I know okay yeah well i didn't i don't watch game of thrones either but shot caller is great it's uh this you know financial advisor guy gets in a car accident has to go to prison and then has to make some tough decisions and i thought it's pretty pretty great see it what's that do you know where where where you watched it yeah netflix oh okay yep cool shot caller listen i i can't tell if i'm not going to find out what happened

to these goddamn mall walkers i'm not giving you any more about this there's no way i was gonna say you didn't you didn't really sell it like I have no interest in seeing Shot Caller yet. I can't sell it because anything I say is going to, I mean, it really is one of those things where you have to watch it. Because if I tell you what makes it great, it's kind of the whole thing. Oh, I like that. That always works on me. I can't tell you.

I always watch it when people say that. So now I'm going to see it. I can't tell you what happens. I don't know who's in it. So good luck. Never even watched it. Just Google what movies are on Netflix. It might be called shot caller. I can't confirm. But yeah, I, I like that kind of recommendation, you know, because like there's this movie that just came out on Prime today that I got to see a few days ago called Uncle Frank. And I like the movie a lot. And then I watched the you know, just for the hell of it.

I watched the trailer today on Prime and it's just it just condenses everything that happens in the movie into two minutes. Right. And it just bums me out. They're like, I wish there was just more opportunity to not know so much about the story before seeing a movie. And so would somebody recommend something like with Jasper Mall? I just was like, you know what? I trust Amy. I, you know, I never will again. But in that case, in that case, I was like, you know, I'm just going to watch it. And, and I did and, and, and watch the whole thing too. Cause it's really, it's something it's.

Well, it sat with you. It's not terribly long, but it, yeah, but it will be with you for the rest of your life. but it uh yeah but it will be with you for the rest of your life i'll never be able to look at a dying mall again without thinking of jasper mall i also kind of want to check in with jasper mall and see what's see what's up i bet you if you called that mall if you called their their their office or whatever i bet you you could get that guy on the phone if he's still there it's that same guy. He's still there training some teenager about how often people shit on the bathroom floor. Yeah. I mean,

that kid really wanted to just bounce right at that moment when he was like, you know, sometimes people just come in and shit on the floor. I think he really was rethinking his. I'll take any job. Yeah. And but there were cameras there, you know, when there's a documentary camera there, he couldn't just be like, well, fuck this and leave, you know, so so he apparently he stuck it out.

Well, we won't know for sure, but it feels like that mall, its days are so numbered. So it may not. Because the guy was looking for, like, I guess the people that own that mall own several malls. So he's just like, I'm just going to have to move somewhere else. I'm going to run a different mall. He's just a mall runner. He's no shot caller. He's a mall runner. Oh. Yeah, I feel like all malls are just inherently sad anyway so

it's just seems like too sad when it's just called the saddest mall yeah i think even the best mall most popular malls right now must have you know some a lot of spaces that are just you know places that went out of business and they can't uh get somebody new in there because also this jasper mall movie was shot before COVID. So like they should go in and make a sequel because that place must be. And you'll watch it. You know, you'd watch it.

Oh, I would watch Jasper Mall 2 in a heartbeat. And if it was really depressing, I would tell everybody I know to watch it. Jasper Mall 2, chopping mall. Jasper Mall 2, mall or nothing. All right. So thank you for those recommendations. But now the question I always ask around this time of year,

if each of you could tell me your favorite holiday movie oh that's so tough to pick one well you know i have you on the show around this time of year every year so you can change it up you don't have to commit to one for life. I guess this year I'm going back to favorite love, actually. Now that that kid is all, you know, up in the Queen's Gambit. Yeah, when he first showed up in Queen's Gambit, I was like, who is this guy pretending to be an adult who looks like a child? For sure. And it was driving me crazy where I knew him from.

So then I, you know, I looked it up and, and I, my reaction was kind of ugly because I don't, I don't like that kid in love. Actually. He's one of the parts of the movie. I'd rather not, you know, watch again. And, um, cause I'm not concerned about his, his being in a love with an adult woman. I know it's not going to work out. Cause isn't that his storyline he's got a crush on a woman yeah no no it's a it's a regular girl it's another girl but she's leaving because isn't there an airport scene yes there's

an airport so he chases her through the airport yeah which that's depressing too whenever i see a movie where people can still run to somebody's gate and try to catch them. I know. I feel like it's one of the last ones. Yeah. He's he you're like, who's this kid in Queen's Gambit that they took four blonde feathers and taped to the top of his lip to try to look like a man? He's got the silliest mustache. It's like the guy on the current season of The Bachelorette. There's a guy with that kind of mustache where it's just like, you still look like a child. Noah.

Yeah, Noah still looks like a kid. So The Bachelorette made him shave it off. But I think he keeps his mustache through all of Queen's Gambit. And his love of stupid hats. He's got a nice head of hair on him, that kid. I don't know why. He's got a knife on his belt. He kind of dresses like the maintenance

man from Jesper Moll. Or he kind of reminded me of River Phoenix when he played young Indiana Jones. Oh yeah, that was kind of hot though. Kind of. Wasn't he like 13? Anna Jones. Oh, yeah. That was kind of hot, though. Yeah, kind of. Wasn't he like 13?

But I was at the time, too. I'm not like a pedo in the past. I'm not a necro-pedo. It kind of sounds, you know, doesn't sound so bad when you put them together like that. Sounds like a golf dance night.

You're going to Necropedo tonight. Chad, what do you think? Do you have a favorite holiday movie? Like one that you watch every year? Yeah, I'm going to go to Home Alone. I mean, I love Christmas vacation. Of course we watch that as well, but we go with home alone. We see a lot of that. I have a bunch of trees that drop acorns on the sidewalk here. So my daughter and I look out the window and watch

people slip and fall. And it's kind of throughout the year. We love those little pranks. You can really count on people to fall on, slip on those things? Absolutely, because what will happen is someone will be running and then they'll go off the sidewalk because there will be pedestrians coming towards them and then they'll go into the yard which is just

full of acorns and then ass over tea kettle. See, I'm a long time believer that Kevin McAllister is the villain of that movie i mean he really i love it he he really beats them up and uh it's it is one of those things where if it happened in real life they would press charges and maybe win oh for sure that's an easy win case because that's's, I think I'm going to enjoy it more this year because I feel, and I might be wrong when I say this, but I feel like

I've been dealing with just stupid fucking adults for a while and watching these two get hit in the face with an iron is going to be fantastic. I think Daniel Stern's scream is one of the most beautiful sounds. Yeah, it's pretty fantastic. Oh, he's so good. The outtakes are really good, too. If you have the DVD, like the Home Alone, especially from the Wet Bandits, outtakes are really hilarious.

I love a blooper. Because there's like, are there violent things that happen to them that didn't make it into the movie more like just botching those like prank scenes and calling each other the wrong name and I don't know Joe Pesci is just hilarious see that would be fun but I would also hate like the

whole setup of getting disgustingly dirty and then ruining my line and having to start again oh yeah yeah and also Kevin's the whole setup of getting disgustingly dirty and then ruining my line and having to start again. Oh yeah. And also Kevin's bloopers are funny because Macaulay Culkin is like the cutest kid in that movie. So cute.

Yeah, I also recommend to people that they go back to the movie that pretty much inspired Home Alone. I learned recently because when they were making uncle buck there's a scene where uh macaulay culkin uh you know is looking through the um the mail slot in the front door and won't let somebody in yeah oh right yeah and so that's where john hughes had the inspiration of like there should be a whole movie of this. And it turns out he was right.

I mean, that Home Alone was like one of the biggest movies ever at the time. Everybody knew it. What do you think, Solomon? Do you have a Christmas favorite? Yeah, because I'm a Christmas baby. So I'm like, I have a very long love of the holiday. He watches his birth video.

Favorite Christmas movie? What does that mean? Your parents got it on, on Easter? I think so. Did you ever watch the bloopers of Solomon's birth? God, they're funny. Oh, they have to put me back in so many times. They're so good. No wonder you hate the idea of getting all dirty and having to redo it. Hey, but real quick, Chad, let me ask you something before we continue this discussion.

Have you thought of setting up like a camera to capture people slipping outside your home? Yes, we have decided to put the ring system at our house now. Not for security, just for bloopers. Just for shots of people falling. I keep like a rusty folding chair in my front yard. So people walk by and they're like, I'm not breaking into this piece of shit, forget it.

So I don't have to worry about that. I just, yeah, I definitely want to see, I mean, there's some really funny stuff. I saw, yeah, I definitely want to see, I mean, there's some really funny stuff. I saw a fist fight in the middle of my street one time. I mean, it's been pretty fantastic. It'd be nice to have it on video. Are they eucalyptus trees? No, they're oak trees. Oh, okay. That makes sense. Yeah. Those acorns suck. It's every two years. There's just, there's so many that someone invented, you know, the old school push mower with no gas, right? It's just like the three blades that keep spinning. Somebody invented an acorn picker upper that works like that. So basically it scoops them up and then spins them around just like a bingo ball, you know, carrier or whatever. And shreds them and shoots them back out?

It doesn't shred them. It just keeps them. And then you have to empty it out every so often. I don't use it. I'd rather watch people fall. I've fallen on a lot of those acorns. Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but also laughing. All right, Saul.

I'm going to go with the classic, which is A I think I've watched I'll watch it every year nice I you know I always have like uh you know a love-hate relationship with that movie because I really I do enjoy a lot of the uh you know individual vignettes and things that happen a lot of classic moments but i can't get past the voice of that guy that narrates the whole thing i i guess it's a creature comfort for me because i just don't think of it and i because i yeah the voice is now now you're making me think of it because i really don't pay attention to it i do love it it's a weird voice and it's it's like he's got, like, chewing tobacco in his bottom lip or marbles or something.

Yeah. Yeah, no, I can power through it because I think, like, the masochist child in me, the first time I ever cried laughing was when that kid gets spanked over the phone, and I... There's some really, really funny stuff in there. like in and all the actors they know what's what's going on like it's just so much funnier than a christmas movie has a right to be and uh and darren mcgavin he's he's a great actor is the the dad i can't think of her name right now, but the mom from Close Encounters is also great.

She's such a good mom actor. And also like speaking of somebody with the Macaulay Culkin ability, that little kid was phenomenal. Yeah, well, he produces movies with Vince Vaughn and is in like, you know, you can pick a Vince Vaughn movie and he's probably got like a small part in it somewhere. Oh, his name is Peter Billingsley.

Yeah. As an adult, he, he's a hotshot producer. Oh yeah. He's so cute. All these kids are cute to you, aren't they Amy? cute all these kids are cute to you aren't they amy well not sexually alive i was just thinking about that it's like as a white child you have to be like that hyper hyper like cherubic cute to be cute because white kids are the least cute kids of all kids but like oh yeah big eyes red cheeks like it's really important like we have the ugliest children across the board but if you if you have a cute one it's like really really cute and then there's no in between sorry chad i completely agree with you and that's why i had to stop watching that movie because my sister has three

children under the age of 10 and they come to my house ugly and they come to my house for Christmas. And I didn't realize how much screaming is in a Christmas story until those three leave. And then I try to watch that and I can't do it because of the screaming. There's a lot of high pitched screaming and it drives me nuts. It makes me want to chase my sister down on the highway and do something horrible. So they're ugly and loud. That's fun. Yeah, it's pretty. Merry Christmas.

So it's like a Trump rally. Well, those are all great recommendations of movies people already are well well uh familiar with and um we'll probably all check out again this year christmas story always has like uh you know those 24-hour marathons yeah um but now like there's some other weird ones of the Join the Fray. Like, I know in the recent years, I remember seeing that some channels showed Scrooged for 24 hours. And another one I saw, you know, like, I guess it was inevitable, like Die Hard was playing all day and all night on some channel. So it will be interesting to see which movies make marathon

status this year it's weird what channels like spend their whole bag on getting Christmas rights and you're like oh I see you free form you're going to make all your money this month it's the same movies every year and they keep pushing

Harry Potter as a Christmas movie like just because the whole family can watch it i guess well no there it's one of those franchises i think that always came out at christmas and so then it gets put in that canon for no reason yeah it really does not belong there but freeform is really committed to uh you know it's it's either harry potter or jim carrey's grinch or um home alone yeah i think it's important a Harry Potter or Jim Carrey's Grinch or Home Alone. Yeah, I think it's important to tell people, like a Christmas movie is a movie that is,

the theme is Christmas, not because Christmas happens in it. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, that's where, you know, Bruce Willis agrees. He doesn't think Die Hard is a Christmas movie. He came out a few years ago strong on that. It's important that he addresses the big issues in this country. The debate happens every year.

I don't know. For some reason, I never get tired of it because it's just funny that people have such strong opinions one way or the other. that people have such strong opinions uh one way or the other um it's you know it's one of my favorite christmas movies if you're allowing it to be considered a christmas movie just because i you know it's just such a great movie yeah i think people want it in so they can mix up the christmas experience with some action and that's most of what it is and that's the thing too yeah yeah i mean christmas like you know there's snow in every Christmas movie, but you know, how about some cocaine? Let's go.

Now we're talking. Yeah. Let it snow. Let it snow. Yeah. Brian, the rules, just any movie you watch on Christmas is a Christmas movie. So I'm going to watch Halloween on Christmas. It's a Christmas movie.

All right. Let's take a break. And when we come back, I've prepared a game for everybody to play. Is that okay? Yes. We'll be right back. We're back. And I can't think of a better game to play right now because it's the only

one that I've prepared. Then let's play weird algorithm. It's the game where Chad, are you familiar with this game? I think so. Really? I don't know. Let's try. I'm not going to win. I don't think we've ever, I don't think you've ever been on an episode where we've played it because it's something I've been doing since we've been zooming. And so I think Amy's played it before, but for Solomon and Chad,

I'll explain that it's called weird algorithm because there's an algorithm on the internet movie database site that if you pick any movie or tv show you can take the cast list and refine it so that everybody's listed in order of who's the most popular according to imdb at that particular day and time so i look these movies up today hit refine on the cast list based on popularity and it's really it's really tricky and odd to figure out who would be the most popular from from any given motion picture it'll be the year that it came out no today oh okay their popularity today so basically it's like who's being searched the most on imdb and who's also like in the news or have has a new project that people are talking about so those are the things you have to keep in mind to try to guess the answer so i will name a

movie hopefully a movie is popular enough that everybody playing will know basically who the cast is, but we discuss it. We, we talk our way through this. So I will remind you of who's in the movie, if anybody's drawing a blank, but I'll have a, Chad's going to go first in the first round and we'll play three rounds. Each person gets a chance to go first, but also you can share your answer. You could say the same answer as another person oh thank god uh and then you know but strategically you might want to change it up just to win and if you name the top person according to imdb in the particular film you get three points for second build you get two points and for third you get one and anything below that you just get a pat on the back at a future date uh from me for uh or at least naming somebody that wasn't in the movie i will collect

i mean patting on the back that's i i, I'd rather do that than the, than the, than the elbow thing that, uh, that caught on at the beginning of this COVID thing. And, and I don't think should, I don't think we should go back to it. It's yeah. It's, that's a weird one. I'd rather just wave hello. Cause I feel like once I do that, I should just keep on moving. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's the only elbow bumps I've done lately are ones where we don't even stop.

We just keep moving. But but there's a quick elbow bump in the process. And it's always been at comedy shows where one person's coming off the stage and the other person. Yeah. For Pat on the back, when you see your friend, they just have to immediately turn around or what? Yeah, I don'll have to switch. Yeah. You'd have to, they have to see you coming and then you reach around and pat them. Okay.

Sounds good. You know, it's like hugs. Like I'm not scared of hugs as long as we both have clothing on. That's not how I hug. It's handshaking and mushing faces together. Those are the ones that I think are dangerous. Yeah, true. No more of these people that I didn't like people that kiss other people on the mouth to say hello. And now they just need to stop entirely.

Who does that? I know people and it's weird. Oh, my God. French people and creepy uncles yes creepy uncles thank you I know a 70 year old that kisses his sisters on the lips when he sees them it's like enough already and the guy from the

from the vow Keith Raniere that's who kisses on the mouth he does? yeah that's one of his things he kisses everybody in the cult on the mouth every time that's his standard greeting he. He kisses everybody in the cult on the mouth every time. That's his standard greeting. He thinks he's Richard Dawson. That's so terrifying.

Yeah, survey says your husband is pissed. Okay, so here's the first movie. It's going to go Chad, then Amy, then Solomon. But like I said, it's open for discussion. And then we'll just lock your answers in before I tell you the results. And the first movie we're going to do today is The Color Purple. The classic Steven Spielberg movie, The Color Purple, large cast of people. You're making Saul go last on this question

oh listeners i am black we're just doing voices that's so funny oh it's gonna take a while for me to get composed here. Oh, that was fantastic. That's a really good reveal. Solomon's known for his great timing. It's just important that they know that. You can't tell by voice alone sometimes.

You can't. And also, but I feel like, you know, it hadn't come up yet because you know can't and also but i feel like you know it hadn't come up yet because you know what why would anybody just be throwing around hey so solomon you're black so yeah okay sorry what's your favorite black christmas movie i actually bring it up every time we run into each other, just before I pat him on the back. Before you give out your black backpack. Oh, geez. Okay.

So, Chad, yes. So the whitest person here. This is rough. Who do you think? I mean, I don't... You remember, like, you know, obviously Whoopi Goldberg got her first big attention from that movie. She was nominated for Best Actress.

It got nominated for 11 Oscars and won zero. It is a snub. It is a super snub. I'm very annoyed. I'm trying to remember who won that year. Uh, something that does not stand the test of time. I'm sure. I would love to, uh, not have any morals and be on my phone looking up this movie right now,

because this is a long time ago, right? 1984. Yeah. That seems mid eighties. Yeah. Yeah. It's been a while time ago, right? 1984. Yeah. That seems like it is. Yeah. Yeah. It's been a while, but, um, you can listen to what the, uh, what the other people say and, you know, form an opinion based on that, if you'd like. Well, I think I'm just going to steal what you'd already said and say whoopie

Goldberg. Okay. That's fair. Granted, it's not the right answer because you gave it to us. Well, I really like to play games with the guests. So you never know what kind of hints I'm giving. See, that sentence I just said had a hint in it. Is it my turn? Yes. I got to go Oprah Winfrey. free see that's what happens chad damn it i knew she was in it but didn't want to say it in case she wasn't in it sound like an idiot

i should have just went with prince for the joke god damn it i want to say oprah but maybe Montel Williams, which talk show? Jenny Jones. What do you think Solomon? Well, I'm that's it's tough because it's, whoopies also a famous talk show host. That's true. She just did it in the other direction.

Yeah. But it has to be oprah oh okay i gotta remind everybody it's called weird algorithm because you never know what kind of weirdness is going to happen but we've got uh chad and yeah chad says whoopi and amy and solomon are sticking with oprah yeah all right yeah i gotta go all the way back to number seven on the list which is in fact oprah winfrey that is a shocker that six people are more popular than Oprah Winfrey right now. I thought she's the most popular in perpetuity. Wow. Number five, playing the role, I believe her name was Squeak in the movie,

Rae Dawn Chong. What? Yeah. Shout out to the Chongs. That's awesome. Number four, the mean white. I think she was mean. I assume she was mean.

She always played mean people. A four, the mean white. I think she was mean. I assume she was mean. She always played mean people. A white lady named Dana Ivey. And then number three is Whoopi Goldberg. Damn. Yeah, arguably, you know, obviously the star, the movie was about her character. And she came in at number three in this algorithm. But that means that Chad is in the lead with one point. What?

Yes. What kind of sick game is this? And then number two is Danny Glover. Sure. So the second lead is? Yeah. And then number one, who I personally had forgotten was in this movie, Lawrence Fishburne. Wow.

Yeah, young Lawrence Fishburne. He was Larry at the time before he changed. You remember there was one point in his career where he said, call me Lawrence. That's why he's so popular on IMDb because everyone's going, is that Lawrence Fishburne in 200 different movies? And then searching him. Yeah, and he's the wacky dad in Black-ish. And he's got some crazy opinions on his character on that show. Wasn't he Cowboy Leroy?

Cowboy Curtis. There we go. He leads Playhouse. I like how you gave him a black name, though, because that was sort of the joke on the show, was that everything about his character wasn't. Seemed like he'd be played by a black guy. All right.

So that means going into round two, Chad's the only person with points on the board, but anything can happen because now amy gets to go first and the second title that i chose semi-arbitrarily but also because the answer is weird in my opinion uh the film mean girls okay this is what i'm gonna say i'm gonna go tina fey oh the screenwriter of the motion picture mean girls she's in it though yeah she sure is. Okay. Just double checking. She's in it. I like her in it.

She's great. She also, you know, helped with the Broadway musical version, which I also enjoyed very much. Don't you miss Broadway shows, Doug, so much? I really, you know, that movies and Broadway shows are probably my two, you know, biggest things that I met. I mean, most of my hobbies were things that they're not allowing to happen anymore. So hobbies and jobs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

My work and my fun. All you have left is just mild interests. Just watch, you know, just watching those things on tv you know but that's like amusement parks are completely out of the question because uh you know watching rides on tv is no fun i feel like you tried it i feel like watching a broadway show i can watch hamilton on on disney plus and Plus and it's pretty satisfying. What do you think, Solomon? Since we're going for weird,

Lacey Chabert? I like the weirdness of that answer. Yeah. I was like, all right, let's give it a go. Now we go to Chad, who's probably a big fan of Mean Girls. I've seen it.

I have a 16-year-old daughter. We've watched that together. But, again, I don't know ever the names of people. And I was going to say the Party of Five girl, whose last name looks like Sherbert. That's what I was going to say. Yeah, that's Lacey Chabert. Right.

But I also, my my initial answer because of the movie that she's in uh about iceland uh and she's in wedding crashers what in the hell like i you know me this is it this is how i play the game i boil it down and lose i'm happy to tell you who that is. Because remembering the name isn't part of the game. It's just figuring out who's the most popular. You're thinking of Rachel McAdams. Thank you.

She's in Eurovision. Yes. I like that movie very much. Me too. It was fun. I don't know why Lacey Chabert would be in the news other than like some weird religious comment around the holidays. Like we were having extra people at Thanksgiving. Forget masks. That seems like something she would say, but I'm going to go with Rachel McAdams because that was my first thought. She's like, Merry Christmas, no abortions. Thanks, everybody.

Even babies without dads get born. It's Jesus. We have Rachel McAdams is Chad's pick. Lacey Chabert is Solomon's pick and Tina Fey is Amy's.

Is everybody locked in? Locked. Okay. Locked. Just because it's interesting to me, coming in at number eight is Amy Poehler, who plays the cool mom. All right.

Very funny in her scenes. And then number seven, shockingly enough, Tina Fey. Fuck! Yeah. She just hasn't, I guess she's not doing anything recently to get attention. Although, speaking of Broadway, she's hosting a special on NBC on December 10th, I believe. It's a two-hour special where the casts casts of different broadway musicals are going to perform numbers from their shows on the streets of new york and tina fey is the host that's fun

yeah uh number six is lindsey lohan poor lindsey uh is the star of the movie and she's number six uh five is lizzie caplan four is amanda seyfried three is a shocker uh the guy who plays aaron the guy that lindsey lowan is interested in is jonathan bennett he came in at number three oh wait jonathan bennett he's a tv personality right now yeah he hosts like Cupcake Wars or something and then number two Lacey Chabert hey wow

Salman what if number one is Daniel Francesi it could be that'd be great but unfortunately the actual number one, and this is shocking to me that Chad's running away with this thing. It is Rachel McAdams.

Oh, my God. It's also shocking to me, just so you guys know that. It's exciting, Chad. Looks like I have a new what I'm thankful for this year around the table. A couple people fall on some acorns. This will be your best day of 2020. Alright. Well, this next round is just going to be for

fun because it's... Oh, wait. Actually, Solomon still has a chance to win this thing, so I take it back. This is for fun. This is for real. Oh, wow. Yeah. i have two points or right yeah you have two chad has four so if you can name the number one person according to imdb in the cast of broke back mountain hmm solomon gets to go first you can give it as much thought as you want because all i'm gonna do is copy your answer to secure my oh that's smart it is um

wow i didn't realize you could just do that and you could have just waited until after i was done before you threw acorns at me i wish there was some way you could sabotage Chad with your answer, but he's right. If he just copies you. Yeah, this is a fun trap to be in. Oh, because even if I get number one, I'll only get three points, and I'll still be second place. Yeah, this whole game was devised,

not realizing that Chad Daniels could really, uh, this reminds me of my dad. Yeah. My dad would teach us how to play checkers, but he knew a way to win every time, but he had to go first and he would never let us go first. So this is this feeling I'm familiar with it. And I hate it with my whole heart i think that that maneuver of uh making someone else go first in checkers is called the dad's

game solomon i will tell you this i have my answer and since i don't know And since I don't have to know the name of the person, that's not what this game is about. I can just describe them. So I have my answer. And that's what I'm going to do. I already have it. So I won't give you the answer.

I like that. Fair play. Unless it's the same one. Okay. I was, at this point in time, would think Anne Hathaway. Okay. What's your locked in? All right.

This is going to be, this could be now that you did that, but I was going to say Jake Gyllenhaal's wife. Is that Anne Hathaway? Yes. Well, listen, that's what I, that's what I was going to say. So.

This is the most charming way anyone's ever cheated I haven't he knew what he wanted it was just the same answers I was locked and loaded I don't know what to tell you yeah Jake Gyllenhaal's wife I wow my turn yeah what do you think Amy I, wow. My turn. Yeah. What do you think, Amy? I'm going to say Heath Ledger. I should like do like the points are doubled on the third round or something like that, but we've never had the scores this close. I don't think.

Or I have to, I, sometimes I think I've prepared a had the scores this close, I don't think. Or I have to. Sometimes I think I've prepared a tiebreaker just in case, but I didn't today because, you know, I get lazy when I'm, you know, I'm too busy cooking a turkey right now. You are not. I mean, I'm going to go pick up some turkey. Sliced. I'm going to get some to go because uh you know restaurants in uh la are

really really suffering like because now as of tonight they can't even do outdoor dining oh yeah but a lot more people are doing the thanksgiving meal which is nice yeah so i'm gonna uh get a whole meal from a restaurant bring it home and in fact eat it tonight and then just have Thanksgiving leftovers tomorrow. Nice. Yeah, that sounds great. I think that's a good plan. What do you think, Amy?

Did you say somebody? Yeah, I said Heath Ledger. It's a really bad answer, but I can't remember anyone else that's in that movie. You're not going to take a guess? It's an impressive and interesting cast, and I will go through and remind you of who they are right now. So Solomon and Chad both went Anne Hathaway, and Amy went with Heath Ledger.

Number nine in the cast of this movie, I've totally forgotten he's in it, Randy Quaid. Oh, big week for him. Well, I feel like he plays a bad person in it. I'm just guessing. I try to remember. Was he like the owner of the farm or something? I think so, yeah.

I feel like no matter what he was definitely someone homophobic i feel like you only see him from a distance the whole movie i feel like his reason is the character the central relationship is a secret well that and their wives all right um i think there's some clips of him from that movie. If you go on Pornhub.com and search Randy Quaid, you can see. He's number nine on the list. Yeah, he's number nine. He was on the news and people were still like, not going to look that up. Yeah, exactly.

People were just like, that's not far. Yeah, he'd be very sad to find out that he's not getting a spike on imdb for recent antics um number eight i can't even picture this guy in the movie but he was an actor that was in a ton of things before we came to know him for his work on stranger things david harbour oh yeah and then David Harbour. Oh. Yeah. And then number seven. I'm sorry, Amy, but number seven's Heath Ledger. That's okay. He's just not doing enough these days. And then number six is the great Anna Faris.

Oh, I forgot that she was even in it. Damn. Yep. And then five is Jake was even in it. Damn. Yep. And then five is Jake Gyllenhaal. Damn. And number four, this is one you might have forgotten, but it makes sense that she'd be so high up on the list now because of that show, Dead to Me, Linda Cardellini. Oh.

I love her. Yeah, she's great. And then number three is Michelle Williams of course she's a big deal and coming in at number two probably because of the witches

it's Anne Hathaway you guys were right oh my god Anne Hathaway was huge on this one so oh I meant to I actually said Heath Ledger's wife is what I said. You still would have lost. But then here's where this one gets weird, is that there's another person that I do not recall being in the movie

who played, I guess, Michelle Williams character as a younger woman, a teenager, and that's Kate Mara. What? She's number one because she's on that show, A Teacher. Yeah. Where has anybody seen any of that show? I've been meaning to watch it, but haven't yet. That's where I'm at with it. It has to be done. The season has to be done for me to watch. Oh, is that how you do it? I can't do this.

I watched, you know, whatever it was, Studio on the Sunset Strip, and they canceled it mid-season. I got no time for that shit anymore. I can't handle it. That's an interesting approach because, you know, because then at least you know what you're you know you if you if you're liking it you can just keep watching episodes but if it's you know if it's a show that might go away yeah you could get screwed but uh i don't know how many seasons could they do of us like would it be a different teacher each season or something? Oh God, that's a terrible theme for a show.

A teacher each season that fucks a student. Yeah. A male teacher next year. Yeah. And then that's when it gets canceled. They're like, oh, that's the wrong way. Yeah. That's the other thing. It's so funny how society is just like, no matter how horrible her character is, she's, you know,

she's the lead character in a show having sex with her, you know, male student and the other way around is just not going to happen. After this episode airs, Amy could get a call from casting. Oh yeah. Culturally. We love a white lady that fucks a kid. We love it. Oh, it is. It's very weird. I don't know if the show's any good or not, you know, because it just seems like, well, if it's just about that,

I don't know if I could remain interested. But isn't the boy in it Nick Robinson from Love, Simon? Yeah. Yeah, he's a good actor so maybe they're maybe they're acting in their love for each other will keep me interested i think they think if they get an actor that's over 18 then we can all just suspend our disbelief for a minute and go like well it's two adults but he's playing 16 or whatever but yeah it's still so creepy well it's like i wasn't that worried about um stalker channing's pregnancy scare in greece because she was 40 at the time she was just really she was just really bloated well i hate having to say this but chad is our winner today

uh there's no prize other than when i see you again i'll give you two pats on your back thank you i'll give you a double tap and um and i also let you do your plugs first do you have anything you'd like to plug that's people watching?
